The white moon had sunk to the horizon, the sun had not yet risen, only the shattered moon in the sky cast a glittering light on the earth, and the ground before dawn was shrouded in subtle darkness.

This is the most tired time of the day, and the body and brain that have not been fully rested make people fall into the deepest dreams. Even the noisy reporters couldn't resist the onslaught of the Sandman, and it wasn't long before they dispersed, leaving only yawning officers wandering around the scene.

Curt searched for Yugi's trace in the direction indicated by the staff, but he was not seen for a long time. If he was just going to smoke a cigarette to refresh himself, he would have gone too far, and Curt complained a little about why he hadn't prepared a spell that he could use to find people beforehand.

"What's the use of having it ready? You won't use it anyway. Liqi, who stayed at home, said in a tone that she had already anticipated, and she didn't seem to be tired at all while still crunching and eating, "I told you a long time ago that there is no harm in learning more spells, anyway, you will be idle all day." ”

Curt's mana capacity is not small, but his ability to comprehend spells is really limited. A magician with less mana than his can master the "flash gun" in about a week just by reading a book, and he has not succeeded in using this simplest spell for a month under Lizzie's guidance.

Curt's casting talent was not on projective spells, as Lizzie asserted at the time. In fact, she was indeed right, almost all of the spells Curt learned were techniques that strengthened his physical abilities or directly released his magical powers, such as "Searching for People", which he had never touched at all.

Even if you touch it, you can't learn it, of course. It's not impossible to learn these spells if you're willing to put in a lot of time to practice them repeatedly, but Curt takes into account the ratio of investment to reward. Without hesitation, he gave up on learning those complex functional spells.

Books are hated when they are used, and spells are the same, if you don't learn to master enough knowledge, it's too late to catch the blind when you want to use it.

The slums and bustling streets in the dark are only a few hundred meters apart, but there are so many differences that people can't help but feel that they are in different cities. The municipal works apparently did not take this small area into account, and the long streets were filled with only old and dilapidated oil lamps. In a time when the job of a street lamp maintainer had been eliminated for a long time, the long streets were unsurprisingly lit only by moonlight.

There was a slight agitation in the calm air of the streets, and flickering candlelight revealed in a few windows. From time to time, you can see the figure swaying through the window. At this moment when ordinary people are sleeping, these people at the bottom of the society have begun to prepare to work for a new day.

Counting the flickering lights and shadows in the windows beside the road, Curt slowly walked around the nearby streets. The streets of this slum are rather narrow, not crisscrossed by forks like the old town. It's all square, regular lanes. It's hard to get lost in such a path.

Walk down in a circle. Curt had never been seen by Yugi, and he had thought that he and he had just missed it, after all, if the interconnected neighborhoods happened to be missed, it was indeed very likely that no one would be found. However, when he returned to the scene, the staff told him that he had not returned from Geely.

"Where's the Gilly Overseer...... Didn't you say he went to the neighborhood to smoke a cigarette and would be back right away?" the security officer of the other squad whispered to the staff member who had pointed out the direction for Curt before, "It's very difficult for us to do this, and the work notes of the on-site supervisor must be handed over by hand." ”

The next batch of staff members for the shift change has already arrived on the scene. As long as Geely comes back and hands over the work, the previous group of staff will be able to go home and rest. At such a time when there is a shortage of manpower. Every minute and every second of time is precious, and the security officers present are in a hurry.

The staff member who was questioned replied with a bitter melon face: "Even if you ask me, I don't know, the supervisor only said that he was going to smoke a cigarette nearby and take a rest, and then he went over there." How could I have thought that he hadn't come back for so long......"

"Mr. Leinster...... Well, the bulletin has already been mentioned, and it's the mercenary who came to assist in the work. With that, he pointed his finger at Curt and said to the security officer, "He has searched the neighborhood just now, but he has not found any trace of the overseer of Gligly." ”

His action was clearly diverting his gaze, and Curt, who was confessed by him, instantly felt that the eyes of everyone present were gathered on him. Curt could only shrug his shoulders helplessly at their reaction, telling them that their search was fruitless.

If Yugily was just to "smoke a cigarette to refresh himself", then he wouldn't have been away from the scene for so long. Judging from the reactions of these security officers, Yugi did not look like a person who would leave his post without permission, and disappeared without a trace at this time, probably stumbling up on his feet by the sudden trouble.

"Okay, everybody, just be quiet. ”

One of the security officers standing on the shift clapped his hands, quieting the tumultuous crowd for a moment. It was then that Curt noticed that he was the security officer who had taken over from Grostide in charge of the scene during the Dryad incident, and this time it seemed that he was going to take over the investigation of the scene.

"I know you're tired and want to get back to rest. But calm down for now. Quite different from the way he yelled and yelled at Curt, the officer began to speak in a calm tone, and only one of the voices could be heard at the scene where many people gathered, "You should all know that the supervising officer is definitely not an irresponsible person, and he is probably in trouble." ”

According to the regulations of the garrison, as the highest-ranking security officer present, he must do his best to deal with sudden situations. He seemed to have a lot of experience, and he was quick to assign everyone's work. The previous staff began to sort out the remnants of their previous work, and the security officers who had arrived with him were divided into several teams and began to search for the missing Supervisor Yugili in the vicinity.

"Curt, is that how Leinster pronounced your name?" he said as he walked over to Curt, the look on his face telling him that he was completely mistaken by the guard officer as a broom star, "You guy is definitely the embodiment of Arcaneros, and every time I see you, it means something's going to be in trouble." ”

The guard appeared to be a believer in the Holy Lord, and the "Arcaneros" he referred to was the demon of the sect's legend that spread bad luck on the land. In the legend of this sect, it is precisely because of this demon that exists in the world that people suffer all kinds of misfortunes.

Lizzie hated the religion of a god called the Holy Lord, but Curt didn't care much, he was always neutral to all beliefs.

"I'm just a little crow at best, isn't it too much to say I'm the source of misfortune?" Curt responded to the officer's greeting with a wry smile, "Your Excellency the officer, I just happen to have some cooperation with you in my work, and it's normal to have the same problem." ”

Even if his attitude is neutral, it doesn't mean that he can accept a qiē, rashly being called the embodiment of misfortune by others, and Curt can't accept it with a smile. But every time Curt met him, the guard officer got into a lot of trouble, and he couldn't argue with that.

"It's useless, these guys who believe in the Holy Lord are like this, they can't listen to what you say at all. ”

Every time she sees someone who believes in the Holy Lord, Lizzie will always jump out and criticize them, and this time is obviously no exception. Curt's mind suddenly sounded with a lot of nagging quotes. Lizzie has a long-standing grudge against this sect, and it seems that it is impossible for her to forget about it.

"Hmph, 'coincidence'? You take this sentence and tell the three-year-old ghost that he may not believe you. However, Lizzie's words were somewhat correct, and the guard officer apparently didn't listen to Curt's words, and he snorted and said, "Forget it, there are not enough people now, even a broom star like you has to use it." ”

The understaffing of the garrison was indeed evident, and the burden that had been placed on Grostide was assigned to the new security officers as a reserve. Not only the work, but also the dark circles that had accumulated around the eyes were delivered to a newcomer like the security officer in front of him.

As a supernumerary, Curt has flexible and excessive working hours, and in the eyes of these overwhelmed security officers, they are idlers who have nothing to do and circulate around the scene. Now that there is an opportunity to put some of the work on these idlers, why not?

In the blink of an eye, Curt was assigned a lot of work by this security officer. Not only does Curt have to investigate where Yugily has gone in the neighborhood, but he also wants Curt to search the dirtiest areas of the slums, the narrow alleys connected by several stinking ditches.

Curt didn't reject the job, after all, when he was doing mercenary work, he had been to places that were more disgusting than this. However, walking in these places, you can still clearly feel the darkness hidden beneath the glossy façade of the city. All the filth of the city flows through this into the great river, and what can be seen here is a qiē left behind from the surface of the catlis, which has been eliminated.

"It's ......"

But the guard would always get into trouble, whether it was for his own reasons or someone else's, and if the guard had come with Curt, he would have been startled by what appeared in front of him, and in the depths of the dark alleyway lay a man.

The staff member's uniform had been stripped off, and he was lying quietly in the corner of the sewage-filled alleyway, not by the Prosecutor Geely, but by the staff member who had told Sù Curt where Geely had gone, and he had collapsed on the pitch black ground, his head having been blown out with a blunt object.

He shouldn't have been here, because Curt was still sorting out what was on the scene with his colleagues when he left the place where the officers had gathered. (To be continued......)
