Chapter 55: The Great Red Festival
Office of the Minister of Security.
In addition to Sergeant Jumana, the head of the Security Department and seven other sergeants were present.
Sitting on the sofa, the head of the security department, Duff. Campbell's face was extremely ugly.
Ostensibly, he is the top prefect of Conston City's security department to fight criminals and maintain law and order.
But in fact, a long time ago, he had already become the head of Gnawing Tooth in Constance City because he couldn't resist the temptation to take refuge in Gnawing Fang.
The seven sheriffs in front of him are the senior believers he has developed for the organization in the Ministry of Security over the years.
"My lord, what happened to summon us in such a hurry?"
See Daf. Campbell's face was ugly, and the seven senior believers asked uneasily.
"I just got the news that the snatching of yesterday's bell failed, and not only that, but the four Naveen were also captured."
Duff. Campbell said in a deep voice.
"How so?"
With the strength of the four Naveen, how could they fail to snatch and be captured? ”
"Was it an ambush?"
The faces of the seven high-ranking believers were panicked.
Despite having been from Duff. Campbell's ugly face, guessing Duff. What Campbell is about to say next is anything but good news.
But when he heard that the snatching of Yesterday's Bell had failed, and that the four Naveen had been captured, his heart still sank.
"The Security Service had anticipated the looting and sent its captains, Jonas Olsson and Ulla López, disguised as ordinary mysticians, to borrow the Bell of Yesterday."
"The four Naveen were ambushed, not opponents, but captured by two people."
Duff. Campbell's face was gloomy and he gave the general story of what had happened.
"My lord, the four Naveen have been captured, we are likely to be exposed, and we may even have been exposed, so we must plan early."
After listening to what happened, the youngest of the seven high-ranking believers, Rohr. Kane, with an anxious face, said.
Although they did not reveal their true names and identities to the Naveen Four, they did not hide their faces when they met with the Naveen Four.
On the mystical side, there are too many ways to look through memories in a person's mind and know their faces.
With this, it is likely that the Security Service will find out their true identities.
"The four Naveen were arrested, and it was only a matter of time before they were exposed, and now the only way to launch the Great Red Festival is to launch it in advance."
Duff. Campbell decides.
"But the number of monsters cultivated so far has only reached two hundred, which only meets the minimum activation conditions of the Great Red Festival, and if it is launched now, there is a great possibility of failure to be blocked."
A high-ranking cultist worried.
"I can't care so much."
Duff. Campbell gritted his teeth.
……
At dusk, the Security Bureau, as many as thirty occultists assembled.
Among them are ordinary mystics like Ferrin, the three captains of Ula, Jonas, and Stefan, as well as the deputy bureau Lindy, and the bureau director Dorji, who rarely shows up due to physical reasons. White.
Not far from them, there was carriage after carriage.
"Let's go!"
Director Dorji. Bai coughed, and said with a serious face.
Hearing the command, everyone immediately prepared to board the carriage.
That's when it happened.
Boom, boom, boom!
From all over Constance City, blood-colored beams of light shot up into the sky, numbering more than two hundred.
It is like a bunch of blood-colored fireworks, which are unusually eye-catching at dusk.
The blood-colored beam flew into the sky and exploded, turning into blood-colored fireworks like blood mist.
The blood-colored fireworks intertwined with each other, forming a huge and intricate blood-colored pattern in the sky, covering the entire city of Conston within it.
The blood-colored pattern is painted with one after another hideous and weird, like a strange illustrated book.
Scarlet as blood, as if drawn with the blood of tens of thousands.
The glow of blood enveloped the entire city of Constance in a blood-colored glow.
As the blood-colored light shrouded in, a sense of panic and fear arose in the hearts of everyone in Conston City, including the mystic.
And animals such as cats and dogs, whose perception is already sharper than humans, have become extremely irritable and screaming.
"What is this?"
Ferrin looked up in horror at the huge blood-colored pattern in the sky.
There was an unspeakable fear in his heart, a bad premonition, a faint feeling that a great catastrophe was coming.
"It's ...... What's going on? ”
"Exactly...... What happened? ”
"It's a ritual pattern, you can't be wrong, it's definitely a ritual pattern!"
"What kind of ritual pattern is this? It's so huge that it covers the entire city of Conston. ”
……
The other mystics also looked at the sky, their hearts in shock.
"Julie, can you tell what kind of ritual pattern this is?"
With a bad premonition in her heart, Lindy looked at Julie and asked.
"Looking at the pattern pattern, it looks like the ritual pattern of the gnawing fang, but I can't be sure what the effect is."
Julie said.
Although she had the ability to remember, she could not judge the effect of a ritual pattern that she had never seen before.
"Ahem, this is the Great Red Sacrifice Ritual Pattern of the Gnawing Fang!"
Director Dorji. Bai coughed, his voice solemn.
"The Great Red Festival, the Gnawing Fang actually wants to launch the Great Red Festival......"
Lindy and Julie, as well as the rest of the hearing from Director Dorji. The people who said this couldn't help but change their faces.
The Great Red Festival, one of the blood sacrifice ceremonies of the cult organization.
This blood sacrifice ritual will devour the essence and even the life of everyone within the scope of the ritual to sacrifice to the evil gods.
Instead, the cultist who presides over the sacrifice will be bestowed by the evil god and gain a terrifying increase in strength.
A few years ago, the large cult organization Scarlet Blood successfully launched the Great Red Sacrifice in the Kingdom of Ercano, sacrificing a city with a population of hundreds of thousands.
And that sacrifice created a twelve-ring cultist, three eleven-ring cultists, and many high-ring cultists.
"There are millions of people in Conston City, if the gnawing tooth successfully launches the Great Red Sacrifice, not only will millions of people die, but it will also create cultists above the Twelve Rings!"
Julie gasped, and her scalp tingled.
Whether it is the death of a million people or the creation of a cultist above the Twelve Rings, it is an extremely serious situation.
The former will have a great impact on the Kingdom of Heidelberg, and the latter will greatly enhance the strength of the cult's gnawing fangs.
"This is the plan that Devouring Tooth has been planning?"
Lindy's face turned pale.
The Gnawing Fang's activity in Constance City had made her vaguely guess what the Gnawing Fang was planning, and now she finally knew what the Gnawing Fang was planning, but not in the way she had hoped.
"If we had detected the situation in the Security Department earlier, we might have been able to stop the launch of the Great Red Festival."
She clenched her fists.
If we had realized that the Guards had been eroded by the Gnawing Fangs earlier, and had captured the Gnawing Tooth cultists lurking in the Guards, we might have been able to stop the Great Red Sacrifice from launching.
"Although it didn't stop the Great Red Festival, it's not a bad thing."
Director Dorji. Bai shook his head and said.
"What do you mean, Director?"
Lindy looked at Director Dorji in surprise. White, somewhat do not understand Director Dorji. The meaning of white.
"If you want to set up a ritual that can cover the entire city of Conston City, you need to be extremely well prepared, and the gnawing fangs were launched in advance because the matter of the hidden guard department was exposed, and the preparation is obviously not sufficient."
"This inadequacy causes the ritual to be launched slower than normal, giving us the opportunity to prevent the ritual from being fully initiated, as long as we destroy the nodes of the ritual before it is fully initiated, we can prevent the ritual from being completed."
Dorji. Bai said.
"Slower than normal?"
Lindy's eyes lit up slightly, and she understood Dorji. Shiro's meaning saw the hope of preventing the ritual from being completely launched.
"Although the security bureau may still not have the manpower to do so, it is possible to disrupt the ritual before it can be completely launched by mobilizing other mysterious organizations in Constance City to participate."
Dorji. Bai said.
"Director, deputy director, I have a guess."
At this time, Julie spoke.
"What speculation?"
Lindy & Dorji. Bai Du looked at Julie.
"The Gnawing Fangs have been secretly creating weirdness, and I suspect that the Gnawing Fangs have placed the Big Red Sacrifice node on these weirdos."
Julie replied.
"It's very likely that a species with extraordinary characteristics can be used as a node, and it can also speed up the initiation of rituals through killing."
Dorji. Bai supported his chin with his right hand, agreed with Julie's judgment, and turned to look at the more than thirty mystics gathered here.
"The plan has changed, the gnawing fangs will launch the Great Red Festival, and now the first task is to destroy the nodes of the Great Red Festival and prevent the complete launch of the Great Red Festival."
"Everyone obeys the order and disperses to the place where the red beam appears, destroying the scarlet glowing object, or the weird."
"Yes."
More than thirty mystics responded one after another.
The mystic who knows what the Great Red Festival is understands the seriousness of the matter.
And people like Fei Lin, who don't know what the big red festival is, also passed through the director of the bureau, Dorji. Bai understands the seriousness of the matter in the conversation with the deputy director Lindy.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
More than thirty mystics scattered, each choosing a direction and running away quickly.
Some of them ran at a speed far inferior to even the most elite soldiers in the army, apparently reaching the level of "inhuman".
Now that the situation is tense, it is the time to race against time, and I can't care about shocking the world.
Sou!
Ferrin ran at full speed through the streets, running fast in one direction.
Aside from not using the Fangs of Madness, he had fully revealed his speed that had been strengthened seven times.
If it weren't for the fear of being attacked as a monster by the other mysticists, he would even plan to use the Fangs of Madness.
His face was anxious, and his heart was uneasy.
If he was not mistaken, one of the red beams of light rose from Guiniao Street, near the East End.
Guiniao Street, a relatively prosperous street, is inhabited by some people with good economic income.
His sister's family lives on this street.
According to Julie's guess, the nodes of the big red festival ceremony are likely to be one after another weird, and one weird appeared on the street where his sister's family was, how could he not worry.
Sou!
After running for about two miles, Ferrin approached Guiniao Street.
"Ahh......h
Sounds of panic and screams reached his ears, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, and what he feared was happening.
The weirdness that is a node in Guiniao Street is killing at this time, and it is speeding up the ritual through killing.
