Chapter 142: The Counterfeit Storm
The security officer in charge of the scene management looked at Curt angrily, as if he was looking at the culprit of Yiqiē, although Curt did not do anything to break the law.
He glared at Curt viciously, and his distrust of Curt was clearly written in his eyes. It seems that he has a deep hatred for this "broom star" who always brings a lot of trouble to the garrison every time, and it is time to add Cheng Dù, who doubts whether he is an undercover agent sent by the enemy.
"Don't leave him alone!" the guard shook his hand a little roughly, no doubt unhappy with Curt's answer, "I warn you, even though you have Grostede's permission and the dean's commission, you're only a supernumerary here!"
Don't pretend to be familiar with me here, he said fiercely, almost screaming with anger. It's really a bit inconsistent with his status as a security officer...... Of course, if he was not concerned about his identity, Curt would have dared to say that it was not just these slightly rough words to greet him.
I don't know what's going on, this guard hasn't given Curt a good look since he saw him, and recently he even started to use the name of the demon to describe Curt, which makes Curt very puzzling. If this result was due to the trouble Curt had caused him, it would not have made him hostile to him from the beginning of their meeting, and Curt himself did not know when he had offended the security officer.
What Lizzie said earlier made Curt agree that some people who are overly religious can easily become troublesome paranoids. Especially when they have already decided that the other person is a "heretic" or a "scourge", they will no longer listen to any arguments.
"I know I'm a supernumerary. To the commanders of the garrison, we mercenaries are at best a vigilante group. Curt didn't mind the other party's aggressiveness, and replied mockingly. "But now, how many supernumeracy personnel have mixed into the team?"
A mocking smile crossed the corner of his mouth, and except for the angry guard officer in front of him, the eyes of the surrounding guards all showed a wavering look in their eyes. Companions who were supposed to remain at the site were now lying in the slums, but not long ago, they had clearly remained on the site to work.
Someone took the form of a companion and blended in with them, and although many people had made this guess, no one had ever picked it out. They prefer to believe that someone is left alone when they are not looking. That's when they were attacked by members of the True Eye.
Hope is always good, but hope is not necessarily a fact, even if you have the best hope in your heart. Everyone will have a companion who is talking to them in front of them, is "he" really him, will he be replaced by someone else when he is not paying attention.
Curt's casual words seemed to inadvertently irritate the guards who gathered around, and they looked at each other with some embarrassed expressions on their faces. The face of the security officer standing in front of Curt darkened. It's like accidentally swallowing a bed bug in your stomach.
Before returning to the scene...... Or rather, when sending the unconscious staff back to the security officers. Curt had expected a similar situation on the scene. But back here, the on-site security officers are trying to stop the chaos in another way.
Groups that value tradition, loyalty, and discipline are more likely to absorb the chaos created by infiltrators than those that are haphazardly organized. Rather than suspicion and attack, they tend to use an orderly approach to eliminate enemies who have infiltrated their ranks, which tends to be more efficient than chaotic organizations.
"What a disgusting fellow, but it looks like you're the real thing. Glaring at Curt fiercely, the security officer named Pike took two steps back with disdain on his face and said, "Hmph, but you guy had better be honest with me than just playing tricks." ”
It seems that the previous pressure was all about seeing how he would react, and the mocking reply just now made him confirm his identity. Curt didn't know what Pike thought of himself, though. However, being identified in this way still made him feel a little depressed.
The surrounding security officers looked at the unpleasant look on the officer. After glancing at each other, they also made some way out of the way. One of the security officers whispered sorry when he was next to Curt. There is no doubt that the reason why they surrounded them was undoubtedly to prevent the current "Curt Leonst" from being a fake and would take advantage of the opportunity to slip away while they were cross-examined.
"Please, I'm also a mercenary, and since I already have an agreement to cooperate, then I won't do such a thing as taking money and not working. Curt protested with a smile, his expression so unserious that it was impossible to tell if he was talking seriously, "It's these people under your command who seem to have been put together by those guys before I came." ”
Glancing around, Curt noticed that the gathered staff were whispering with a subtle expression. They lowered their voices to communicate with each other, and looked around at their companions with suspicion, and a vague atmosphere of unease spread through the crowd.
The uneasiness was definitely not because of the atmosphere created by these whispers, but because of the aftermath of something that was going on right now. Several security officers patrolled the divided teams one by one, and every time they went, they caused a slight commotion among the guards in one place.
Anyone with eyes could see that the few security officers who patrolled back and forth were the source of unease among the people belonging to the garrison. They just had to say a few words to the members of the group who had been divided, and the people living nearby would whisper one after another.
At first glance, they seem to be just asking about what those squads have learned while patrolling around, which should be a routine project. But looking at the stiff expressions on the faces of most of the officers they asked, Curt felt that they were asking more than just the results of the investigation.
The few people lying on the nearby bunk were all staff members who had greeted Curt after he arrived at the scene, and Yujili was still not seen. I don't know if he has become another person in the dark alley who has been attacked, or if he has never been to the scene of this incident in the first place.
The reporters on the periphery have been stopped outside the cordon by several security officers, but the commotion within the group of central security officers at the scene has also been seen by some sharp-eyed reporters. They were like vultures with fresh corpses, circling around the scene, trying to feast on fresh flesh.
"Do you think you can get rid of the relationship? ”
Curt knew that Pike wasn't threatening him verbally, and now he and the guards were like people in the same boat. If the wrecked ship really sank, it was definitely not just the garrison that was unlucky. Journalists who only see "freedom of the press" in their eyes don't care if they're security officers or mercenaries, and they don't care if they're part of the story.
"Cool words, no, no, I'm not talking about cool words, can you deny that the biggest victims in the current situation will be the people of your garrison......?" And I don't know how many fakes are waiting for you in those team members, and even if they don't get exposed, it's enough for you to drink a pot. ”
As expected, the wounded people all had marks of sharp blades, and blood flowed from the wounds, staining their clothes. Their work coats had been stripped of them, and while the spells of change could alter some of their characteristics, they couldn't give the pretenders a piece of clothing for nothing. They stripped off the staff in order to disguise themselves as them.
Without denying Curt's claim, the security officer smacked his tongue heavily. Curt understood what he said, but there was no way to undo it. It was the search arrangements he made that led to the current situation, and the squad of security officers who had dispersed to investigate in the slums became bait for the other party's mouth.
"Okay, so what do you think you can do?"
Although he was quite unconvinced, he could not be unconvinced: "I have heard some of my men say that you are the first person to appear in Swad. And you seem to be chasing a slum boy dressed as a ghost, and then? What the hell did you show up? ”
Turning his face was as fast as flipping a book, and Curt somewhat admired the degree with which the Pike Sergeant had changed his attitude. Not long ago, he was denounced as the embodiment of calamity, but if it worked for him, he could deal with it with a different attitude in an instant...... In a sense, the officer's attitude is also flexible enough.
However, Curt spread his hands, and the smile on his face remained the same: "I'm sorry, I lost it...... The alleys around here are too complicated, and they are all obstacles. And that little ghost was really not an ordinary fast runner, and he escaped when he was about to chase him into a nearby path. ”
Of course, he couldn't have told Sù Pike that he had captured the boy and brought him home to extract information about the "True Eye" from his mouth. Even though he now has a cooperative relationship with the garrison, he still does not have the right to detain people involved in the case without permission.
So, of course, he wouldn't tell the officer anything. (To be continued......)
