Chapter 11: Rumors
Without waiting for Mark and the others to react, Oss directly turned into a cloud of black smoke through these policemen and rushed to the staircase, Char raised his hand and grabbed a black shadow from the black smoke that passed over him, but the black smoke did not dissipate because of this, but continued to rush up the stairs.
Cassifer's voice sounded in Char's head, "Chase! It's a hassle to let the nightmare run. ”
Char didn't hesitate, and directly chased the black smoke out of the storage room, and before the policemen could react, another black shadow jumped down from the corner of the house, quickly passed through the crowd, and ran away with them.
For a while, only these secret policemen were left in the entire storage room, and some of the secret policemen collapsed directly to the ground with weak legs and feet, gasping for breath, looking like they were the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.
Mark's body also loosened slightly, and suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and looked at a few colleagues lying on the ground, their bodies were already red with blood, but they were still breathing, and the flintlock pistol was not very powerful.
He hurriedly shouted to the police around him.
"Quick! Give them a stop bleeding! Get them to the hospital! ”
The surrounding police reacted, and immediately began to stop the bleeding and treat the wounds for their colleagues.
The policeman, who was about Mark's age, approached him and lowered his voice.
"Mark, how are we going to keep up with this situation?"
Mark frowned and thought for a moment, looked at the mess around him, remembered everything that had just happened, and sighed.
"Report it truthfully, now all this is beyond the scope of what we can handle."
In this era, the natural sciences are not so developed, there are almost no materialists, and there are still many mysterious legends, although most of them are falsehoods after some artistic processing.
But the acceptance of such supernatural events by these police officers is still very high.
The policeman said solemnly, "What the hell is that, and what is the man who suddenly appeared, even such a terrible thing is afraid of him." ”
Mark was silent for a moment, "I can only hope that some people up there will know some truths." ”
The man nodded.
For the low-level police officers like Mark, they are well aware that there are many terrible and important secrets buried in the hearts of those who control the vast majority of Britannia's power and wealth.
They weren't surprised that these people knew the truth about tonight's supernatural event.
But apparently, magic has been out of touch with this world for too long.
Even if the power of fate brings it back into this world, it is unlikely that these people who have nothing to do with fate will have come into contact with the mystery.
.....
"How's it going? Did the Marquis of Oss find it? ”
A marquis is missing, life and death are unknown, and if such a big thing happens, it is naturally impossible for the rest of the nobles to continue to attend the banquet.
Alicia also returned to her own dormitory in the palace, and it seems that because she can't see with her eyes, the room is very simple and has a lot of blind design.
She sat by the window and asked the maid in front of her, who had just finished inquiring about the news.
Just now, the head of the Queens' Secret Office was making a case report to the Minister of the Interior, and she happened to be nearby.
The maid pondered for a moment, as if to organize the language, and then she said, "According to Chief Hagus, after the disappearance of the Marquis of Os, he began to organize his police to cordon off the entire imperial capital and conduct a search from house to house.
Finally, more than 600 meters away from the crime site, the traces of the Marquis of Oss were found, but when they arrived, the Marquis of Oss was already dead, his chest was pierced by a sharp weapon, and the murderer was nowhere to be found. ”
Alicia nodded solemnly.
Originally, this was just an ordinary homicide here, but the identity of the deceased was more special, but with the subsequent narration of the maid, the situation began to go wrong.
"While those secret police were ready to continue the search for the murderer, the Marquis of Oss.... Resurrected under their noses. ”
Alicia frowned, "Resurrection? ”
The maid nodded, her eyes revealing obvious fear, "According to Inspector Mark, eyewitness, it's more like being possessed by an evil spirit.
He said it was more evil and terrible than any of the most vicious criminals they had ever seen, and that it possessed evil witchcraft.
The moment all the secret police saw his eyes, they lost control of their bodies and were manipulated by him like puppets for cash.
Manipulating them to turn their guns on their own companions, trying to make them kill each other. ”
"And then?" Alicia asked with some urgency, "What happened to those secret inspectors?" ”
"Then a mysterious man appeared." The maid said.
"Mystery man?"
For some reason, Alicia remembered the guy who appeared at the banquet, the biggest suspect in kidnapping the Marquis of Os....
"What does it look like?" Alicia asked.
The maid recalled, "Black hair and black eyes, wearing a black robe, but the details are not very clear. ”
It's pretty much the same as the people at the banquet described, Alicia thought to herself.
Although the black-haired black pupils are not specific in the imperial capital, she can already be 100% sure in her heart that it is that person.
The maid's account continues: "The evil spirit seemed to be particularly afraid of the mysterious man, and when he saw him, he yelled, "How could you have come to the world?" "After that, he fled."
"How could it be that you came to the world?" Alicia's brows furrowed slightly, "What do you mean, that's not a human being?" ”
"I don't know, but according to Inspector Mark's guess, it should be a terrifying existence higher than that evil spirit."
Alicia was lost in thought, and then she said, "Is this mysterious man good or bad?" ”
"I don't know." The maid shook her head and said, "But according to Inspector Mark, it is certain that the mysterious man and the evil spirit are not in the same group.
According to his speculation, the reason why the people behind the scenes kidnapped the Marquis of Oss may be so that the evil spirit can take over the body of the Marquis of Oss and operate in the upper echelons of Britannia as the Marquis of Os.
If all those who witnessed all this were killed by then, then their plan would almost certainly have succeeded.
But the appearance of the mysterious man saved all the secret agents present at the time, and this conspiracy was naturally broken. ”
Alicia fell silent, and she remembered that at the ball, the man had said that she wanted to return the favor.
At the time, she thought it was just what he said casually.
But now think about it ....
He may not have been there by accident, and it may not have been him who kidnapped the Marquis of Os.
He had known about the conspiracy early on, and was there to disrupt it.
But.... Why did he do all this?
With the power he possesses, it is impossible for those two hooligans to pose a threat to him, and there is no such thing as a so-called favor.
Or ...... The reason why he was there at that time was to deliberately approach himself?
His purpose..... It's me?
Alicia pursed her lips slightly, leaving the thoughts that were gradually cluttering in her mind behind, and continued to ask.
"How did the Minister of the Interior deal with it?"
At first, he didn't believe the report, and scolded Director Hargus, but there were four secret inspectors lying in the hospital right now, and these couldn't be fake.
Then he went to the church and invited Bishop Bach, and they are still talking. ”
"It's not surprising that these gods and ghosts always can't get around the Holy See, but ..... Can they really fix this kind of thing? Alicia muttered softly.
"It should ..... Is that okay?" The maid said with some uncertainty.
The history of the Holy See is much older than that of Britannia, and its status in the hearts of Britannian people is not ordinary.
"No matter how great a work of art is, it will eventually be tarnished by time, and so is the inheritance, and the Holy See in Britannia, although it still believes in the Supreme Lord, is not orthodox."
Alicia said calmly, and she muttered for a moment before continuing.
"Lies woven under the sacred banner are also exceptionally convincing."
The maid tilted her head a little confused, she didn't quite understand what the princess meant.
"If the Holy See can't handle it, then it's going to have to rely on wizards....."
Suddenly, the maid seemed to remember something, raised her head and said, "Speaking of which, have you heard of that rumor?" ”
