Chapter 354: The Mysterious Guide of the Execution Ground

When George and Robin returned to the Convict's Guild's hideout, it was late at night, and they summoned everyone to George's room and showed them two blood-stained shirts.

"What's going on?" Donnie looked at the two of them in surprise and asked, "Are you in trouble?"

"No, we found it at the bottom of the well when we came back. George said and took out two badges and put them on the table, Grant looked down and couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't this the badges worn by the agents of the Law Enforcement Agency? I've seen them before, and they use them to prove their identity!"

"These two badges were thrown at the bottom of the well along with the clothes," George said with a serious expression, "Robin and I searched the neighborhood and found no bodies or other traces, how did these two clothes and badges fall here?"

"There's a lot of blood splattered on the neckline and chest of the clothes," Catherine said as she checked the clothes, "The owners of the clothes should have had their throats cut with a sharp object, you just said that they were agents of the Law Enforcement Agency, could it be that they followed Grant and Donnie here, and then were killed?"

"When I came back, I asked the people in the meeting, and no one knew about it, so it shouldn't have been done by the people in the meeting. George said with a suspicious frown.

"Could it be that someone is secretly helping us?" Catherine looked at the four of them in surprise, and George and the others looked at each other, unable to guess who would help them kill the agent.

"Anyway, we must be careful, this man has left his clothes and badge in the well, if it is to inform us, it means that he knows us very well, and we do not know now whether he is friend or foe, and we must be careful!" said George to his brothers, who mused for a moment.

He then asks Donnie and Grant about the status of the inquiry, and the two tell him about the news, and George asks Robin to spread out the map of the execution site on the table, giving an overview of the surrounding terrain and evacuation routes.

According to the plan, when the firing squad escorted Rogge to the execution table, George and Robin caused chaos in the crowd of onlookers, and Downey and Grant shrunk down and stood on the back of the little owl, allowing Lilith to parachute them into the execution table to kill the executioner and free Rogge.

At the same time, Catherine used fire to attack the priests in the execution ground at the commanding height of the roof near the execution ground, attracting their attention, covering the actions of Lilith and Donnie and Grant, Monica summoned plants to disrupt the scene and block the pursuers, and after Lilith led the three to retreat, George, Robin, Catherine, and Monica retreated together.

Since Catherine was not familiar with Itali City, George and Robin took her to the vicinity of the execution site the next day to familiarize themselves with the terrain, and Donnie and Grant continued to inquire about the detailed date of the execution.

That night, the two people in charge of finding out the news came back to report that the death penalty notice issued by the Law Enforcement Court would execute Rogge the day after tomorrow, and George immediately arranged for final preparations.

In order to disguise his identity, he asked Grant to get five cloaks of different colors, white for George, red for Grant, black for Donnie, green for Robin, and gray for Catherine, all of which were masked with veils of the same color, and weapons were hidden under the cloaks.

The night before departure, Catherine sat on the edge of her bed, the gray cloak she was going to use for tomorrow, and the Super Fire Gun lay quietly on her other side, and the only remaining silver gun was shining cold in her hand.

Catherine stared blankly at the silver gun, recalling one image after another in her mind, from the first time he threw it to herself, to the time he taught himself how to use it, and then to the first time she shot herself, the corners of Catherine's mouth inadvertently showed a happy smile.

"Perhaps, it's really time to let go of the past. She stared at the silver gun in her hand and muttered to herself, "The moment I first met him and decided not to shoot him, I was no longer the same person I used to be, so why should I dwell on those unbearable pasts?"

"Monica," Catherine asked softly, looking back at the little flower spirit sitting on the bedside table looking at herself, "I should start all over again, right?"

Monica nodded solemnly, saw Catherine put the silver gun on the bed, stood up and walked to the table, picked up the silver sword on the table that Murphy left behind by Wood, the president of the Guilty Breaker Guild, looked down at herself reflected on the body of the silver sword, suddenly grabbed her braid, and slashed the waist-length ponytail behind her with a swing of the sword.

"Catherine......" Monica looked at the long hair that was scattered and scattered, and her gaze fell on Catherine's resolute face with some distress.

Catherine didn't look at her long falling hair, put her sword on the table and said, "Mr. Rogge said that long hair is not suitable for witches, and from now on, I will not give those devils any more opportunities!"

The next day, the group left the underground hideout of the Guild of the Convicted and divided into three groups and came to the vicinity of the execution ground, which was close to noon, and the vicinity of the execution ground in the north of the city was already overcrowded, and even the nearby houses were rented to people who came to see the execution, and everyone was waiting for the moment when the Empire's most wanted criminal was executed.

George and Robin, wrapped in white and green cloaks and disguised as bards and wandering merchants, mingled with the crowd outside the execution ground, where they saw heavily armed soldiers standing around the execution ground, blocking the onlookers from the execution ground, and the priests standing behind the soldiers' human walls, with solemn expressions hanging their hands.

On the execution platform, more than 100 soldiers circled the execution platform, and in the center of the execution ground stood a tall guillotine, the snow-bright guillotine axe emitted a cold light in the midday sun, and four fierce-looking executioners stood beside the guillotine, and the strong chest muscles that exposed thick chest hair were staggering.

Behind the execution table sat a row of noble spectators, among whom was the representative of Queen Irene, Marquis of Thunder, Martin, an old nobleman of Italy who had helped the young Queen Irene quell the rebellion of the nobles in the country and stabilize the position of the royal family, and is still an important minister who assists the queen in her administration.

In addition, there were also the chief priests of the Holy Congregation in the temple of Itali City, the head of the Law Enforcement Yuan, and other dignitaries from all walks of life, who sat on the left and right of the Marquis of Thunder in turn, and the nobles talked to each other about the significance of this execution of the lone wolf, waiting for the time of execution.

At noon, the head of the Itali City Law Enforcement Academy, with the permission of the Marquis of Thunder and the chief priest of the Holy Order, ordered the criminal lone wolf to be guillotined, and eight heavily armed soldiers escorted the ragged and unkempt Rog to the execution table and pressed him down in front of the guillotine.

George, who was standing on the periphery looking at the execution platform, craned his neck to see what Rogge looked like, but he only saw that his long unkempt brown hair covered most of his face, and he couldn't see his specific face at all.

He watched as the executioner pressed Rog's head and pushed him into the guillotine, while the chief priest got up and went to the execution table and began to address the onlookers on the execution ground, accusing the lone wolf of all his crimes over the past ten years.

Seeing this, George was about to turn around and signal Robin to make a move, when he suddenly felt that something was stuffed into his hand, he looked back quickly, but he didn't find the person who gave him the thing, so he had to look down at his hand, but found that it was a snow-white card.

"This is not a real execution ground, you have fallen into a trap, hurry to the back street of Wangcheng Prison to meet!"

George was taken aback and looked around, but found no suspicious person, and just as he hesitated to believe it, Robin squeezed through the crowd and handed him the same card.

"Looks like someone is secretly helping us!" George hid the card and told Robin to inform Donny and Grant to go find Catherine himself and rendezvous at the location written on the card.

When George arrived at Catherine's hiding place, she happened to see her coming down from the roof where she was hiding, and as soon as she saw George, she immediately met him and handed him a card.

George saw that it was written exactly the same as the previous two, and when he asked who had given it to her, Catherine said that the card had suddenly flown in front of him.

"Neither Monica nor I saw anyone's shadow, and I guess the card was thrown from some subtle angle. Catherine looked around suspiciously and said to George.

"Leave him alone, let's meet up with the others first. George took Catherine and Monica away from the execution ground and hurried to the Intramuros prison, where they found Robin, Grant, Donnie, and Lilith having arrived, and the latter three were also holding identical cards.

"It seems that this man who is hiding behind the scenes knows everything about our actions, who is he?" George looked at the four cards in his hand, and couldn't think of the identity of the other party anyway, and at this moment Robin handed him another card, saying that he had just suddenly appeared on the ground at their feet.

"Walking along the back street, the wall at the end is thin from the bottom to the top of the fourth layer of bricks, and after it is shattered, there is an abandoned and blocked aqueduct vent, the railing has been torn down, and from here you go straight left into the prison, and you will receive a new prompt. ”

"Could this be a trap?" Downey asked, uneasy, "what if they deliberately lure us into prison and then catch us all?"

"It's come to this, we have to go in and have a look, it's too late to go back to the execution ground, we can only trust him, this is our last hope to find Mr. Rogge and rescue him!" Catherine looked at the four young men firmly, George and Robin nodded approvingly, and Grant and Donnie had no choice but to agree when they saw this.

The five men led Lilith and Monica straight down the back street, found the wall written on the card, and after tearing down the bottom four floors, they saw a semicircular narrow entrance with iron railings removed, George was the first to get inside, and the others entered in turn after making sure it was safe.

Due to the unusually darkness in the waterway, Catherine, who has night vision, leads the way, and Lilith stands on George's shoulder to watch the situation behind, and the group makes their way through the stench and rat-ridden waterway to an iron gate at the end of the waterway.

Downey stepped forward and tried to pull the iron door, but the iron door did not move, and several people stood in the doorway at a loss and looked around, trying to beat the slippery wall with their hands, trying to find another exit, but they never found anything.

Suddenly, the little furball, who was standing on George's shoulder, saw a little mouse running towards them, with a card tied to a rope on its back, and the little furball swooped down, and a dive grabbed the mouse and sent it to George.

George was surprised to take the card down, asked Lilith to let the little mouse go, and then handed the card to Catherine, only to see a few words written on it: "Stand at the door and smoke a cigarette, the door will soon open." ”
