"Half an hour later, I gathered at the property management department to receive auxiliary equipment for parasite detection. In addition, this mission is very important, and it is forbidden to go out or ask for leave during the mission. ”

Arianna dropped the sentence and turned to walk out of an office, her face unusually ugly, obviously annoyed by Marco.

"Are we going too far with him, Marko?" Lydia covered her mouth and smiled, clearly not thinking there was anything wrong.

"The relationship between the first and second parts has always been like this,"

Marco pursed his lips, looked at Reinhardt's body that Wayne was carrying, and asked, "Did you find anything over there?" ”

"Well, people from the Abyss Sect."

"The city-state circle is also made by their people?"

Wayne nodded, "He did it in place of the young scholar, and I also met two transcendents of the Abyss Sect, one of whom was named Poulson or something." ”

"Poulson? I think I've heard it somewhere...... Seems to be a member of the Abyss Sect? ”

"That's exactly what he just admitted."

"That should be him, Abyssal Sect Servant Polson Hekme." Marco and Lydia looked at each other.

Wayne asked curiously, "Is he famous?" ”

"No," Marco shook his head, "it's not that he's famous, it's that the members of the Abyss Sect are all known for having brain problems. ”

"And some time ago, in the northern city-state of Idris, there was also a calamity caused by the Abyss Sect, and I heard that many people died."

"I'm afraid the city-state of Karst is in big trouble this time."

"Huh?" Lydia pouted, "I just joined the Secret Division, and I encountered such a thing, and I would have known that I would return to Crane......"

"It's too late for you to go back now."

"I don't want it, if I'm really in danger, isn't there still you?"

The corners of Marko's mouth twitched, you really look up to me, thank you.

"Let's not talk about that, what next? The captain is not there, ......" Wayne looked helplessly at the greasy appearance of the two.

"Since the division has already made arrangements, let's do it. In the face of a madman like the Abyss Sect, the sooner you deal with it, the less trouble it will be. ”

"Okay, what about this corpse?"

Marco looked at Reinhardt on the ground, "Well, it's a miserable death...... Wayne, has your strength improved again? ”

"Just a little." Wayne smiled and gestured to a hundred million points.

In fact, after this fight with Poulsen, he has a clearer idea of his own strength.

It is enough to deal with the captain level of the idle team, and under certain circumstances, even some ministerial-level transcendents, he can also fight.

The premise is that there is space and distance to use a sniper rifle......

"You look at it, it's good to have it reflected in the case file. Abyssal transformers like this basically have no value for recycling. ”

"Okay."

Wayne snapped his fingers and cast a soul-devouring spell that sent the four heads to devour Reinhardt's corpse clean.

[You use the Soul Eater spell to devour Reinhardt Tania's origin, and your origin is boosted.] Special Reward: Origin +0.02. 】

"Wow, gone? What a spell. Lydia blinked and said in surprise.

Wayne: "......"

This is a bit too fake, obviously when they were in the council hall before, these two men had seen him devour Ognyan.

“…… Lydia, he already knew. Marco clutched his forehead.

"Well, I was thinking about not exposing me and you to the council hall...... Woooooooo ”

"There's no need to say anything superfluous!"

“……”

Before it was time to assemble, Wayne briefly sorted out the investigation files on the personnel who worked in the city-state.

In addition to his battles with Poulsen and Reinhardt, he also wrote some speculation about the location of the Osteobite Motherworm - near the Laos and Ruhr neighborhoods.

The reason is that Matteo, who came later, is a powerful transcendent of an unknown Abyss Sect.

After Wayne and Marco had discussed this, he handed over the file to the Warhead.

There was no way, Lacey was not there, Yegor was not there, and they didn't want to trouble Arianna, so they could only report to the higher levels through the people in the warhead.

"Phew, I hope I can get rid of the Abyss Sect."

After the case file was sent out, Wayne calmly looked at the city-state of Custer outside the window, and fell into deep thought.

……

……

A spacious conference room in the administrative building of the Secretarial Division.

"After using the development potion to observe, it has been determined that the person who has just appeared in the Ruhr neighborhood is Poulsen Haekme, a member of the Abyss Sect, and an unknown transcendent."

Omod reported solemnly: "Especially the one who came to the rescue later, his strength is very strong!" ”

"According to your observations, is it possible that the other party is at the level of director?" War Minister Abbott asked with interest.

"Quite possibly."

"Oh? That new inquisitor is so strong that he was able to escape from them. Director, do you see if you can transfer him to our warhead? ”

Albert remembered the appearance of Wayne he had seen in Basil Neighborhood before, and he thought that his strength was good, at least at the captain's level.

Knock knock knock......

"Abbott, when is it, are you still thinking about this?"

Deputy Director Balatz knocked on the table dissatisfiedly, "Now it's time to discuss the elimination of parasites as soon as possible to avoid a tragic situation similar to that of the city-state of Idris." ”

"Didn't we all discuss it just now? Directly sweeping the entire city-state is nothing more than a few thousand parasites. ”

"Albert ......"

"Alright," Ales said with a slightly tired look on his hand, "Let's go according to the plan, and divide the areas of responsibility as soon as possible." ”

"Director, I'm ready."

Albert looked at the parchment in his hand and said, "Combat I and Survey II are in charge of the eastern part of the city-state, including the factory areas of the Ruhr and Idrissu neighborhoods. ”

"The Second Combat Department and the First Investigation Department are responsible for the western part of the city-state, including the Basil neighborhood and the Natori neighborhood."

"Finally, according to the feedback from the investigators who fought with the Abyss Sect before, the location of the Bone Eater Mother Worm is near the Laos and Ruhr neighborhoods, and I will go over and deal with it......"

"Wait Abbott, there's something wrong with that, isn't it?"

"Deputy Director Dolph, what do you suggest?"

"Since the people of the Abyss Sect are all there in the Laos neighborhood,"

Dolph glanced around and said in a deep voice, "I suggest that a few of us take the sweep to avoid unnecessary casualties." ”

As soon as these words came out, several other high-level executives looked thoughtful.

"Dolph, I don't recommend it." Balatz thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Why? I know that Minister Abbott's strength is comparable to that of a director-level transcendent, but the other party is an abyss sect, and this time it is mainly sacrificed, and once there is an accident, ......"

"Listen to me, what I mean is that it is enough for me and Deputy Director Nifa to cooperate with Abbott."

“…… You and Nefa? ”

Dolph was stunned for a moment, he looked at the two people sitting on Ales's left and right hands, with their strength, it was indeed enough to solve all the troubles.

He hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, then Moises and I will stay in the department and wait for the director to dispatch." ”

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

“……”

Seeing that several people had communicated a specific plan of action, Ales spoke: "Then follow the plan and deal with all the parasites as soon as possible to avoid a worse situation." ”

"I'll contact Crist later. Once the location of the parasite has been determined, the city guards stationed in each neighborhood will assist you in the battle. ”

"Understood!"

Abbott and the others got up, saluted with different expressions, and then turned around and walked out of the conference room to make preparations.

After most of the people left, only Ales and his deputies, Balatz and Nifa, were left in the conference room.

"Ales, are you sure you want to go to the slums alone? It's too risky. Balatz said worriedly.

"Huh,"

The tired look on Ales' face slowly disappeared, "Originally, I was still thinking about who to leave for the last battle, but I didn't expect someone to send it to the door. ”

"A director of the Abyss Sect, no matter who he is, it is enough to accompany me to my death."

"You!?"

"Balats," said a veiled woman on the other side, leaning back in a high-backed chair, "since Ales has made a decision, let him go." ”

"You see, it's still Nifa who is calmer."

"Now is not the time to be calm or not!"

Balatz got up and said angrily: "Ales, I know that you have never come out of what happened back then, and you are not willing to cooperate with the treatment, but ......"

"Enough!"

Zizz!

With this low shout, several lightning arcs swept through and raged towards the surroundings, shattering several tables and chairs.

Under the reflection of the silver-white light, Ales's face looked very gloomy, "Balats, you just need to do what you are responsible for. ”

"You ......"

"No more."

Before he could finish speaking, Ales raised his hand, and the arc around him dissipated, "You know, sooner or later, there will be this day." ”

Speaking of this, his eyes gradually softened, and he got up and patted Balatz on the shoulder, "After I leave, cooperate with Nifa, and the secret division will rely on you in the future." ”

"Also, remember to cover for me, I don't want to be disturbed in the last battle."

Balatz looked at him with a wry smile, "Ales ......"

"Say no more, Balats."

Nifa also got up, wearing a tight black dress, which set off her figure even more proudly, "Let's think about how the secret division should deal with himself after Ales leaves." ”

"Hahaha, that's true,"

Ales laughed heartily, as if he had returned to his youth, "Go, accompany me for a few drinks, I don't know if there is a better wine in another world......"

……

……

When the Krims Cathedral rang the third bell of the afternoon, all the War Department and the Investigation Department of the Secret Investigation Department had already assembled outside the Property Management Department.

The two deputy directors, Balatz and Nifa, stood in front of the team, looking at everyone with serious expressions.

"I believe everyone is already aware of the severity of this incident, the Abyss Sect is trying to replicate the calamity of the city-state of Idris and the destruction of the city-state of Caster......"

Wayne stood in the crowd, followed by Tina and Marco, quietly listening to Balats's speech on stage.

Judging from the current response of the Secret Investigation Division, at least it is impossible for the Abyss Sect to create a third-level calamity through the sacrificial ritual.

Not to mention the parasites that they cleaned up, just by the two deputy directors to deal with Mattio, you can see the strength and determination of the secret department.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, no one in this world is stupid, especially those who have done similar evil deeds like the Abyss Sect, and each city-state has corresponding countermeasures.

But Wayne also knew very well that this time it was not only the Abyss Sect, but also the Desire Sect hidden in the shadows and some people in the City That Never Sleeped......

But as long as the Abyss Sect and those parasites are eliminated, it doesn't matter what the purpose of those people is.

The third-level calamity is gone, can they still create another one?

“…… The above is the specific arrangement of this operation, let's start with Somley. ”

Immediately afterwards, the property management department took several other personnel in Somley and distributed equipment to everyone that could detect parasites.

Since the last time he received the reward for the Level 2 mission, Wayne hadn't seen Somlley for a long time.

Looking at his appearance at this time, he is a lot more serious and serious.

"Baba, there's something weird about him."

"Huh?" Wayne glanced at the ghost who was speaking, and asked through the source, "What's so weird?" ”

"Something like the one who devoured it before."

"Devouring?"

"The one with the delicious bones, the horse ......"

The driver rolled his eyes, "That's the Undead Rider." ”

Like Ognyan?

Wayne frowned slightly, looking closely at Somley's appearance, nothing special?

Could it be that he is also a wizard of the Ghost School?

Or, like Ognyan, a shadow member of the Ghost Liaison Department?

Well, it seems that it will be necessary to pay attention to it later.

After everyone had received the equipment, Deputy Director Balatz nodded to Aberna and said, "It's time to start, let's act." ”

"All, let's go!"

Everyone present began to walk outside the Secret Division, going to different neighborhoods to clean up the parasites according to their team's goals.

"Abbott, for the time being, you can lead the team to clean up the Idrisu neighborhood first, and Nifa and I will go to the Laos neighborhood in advance to investigate, and when we find out, we will do it."

"Huh?"

Abbott was stunned, "Don't you need me along?" ”

"With Nifa here, that's enough." Balatz shook his head, a flash of sadness flashed across his face, "After the Idrisu neighborhood is settled, it's not too late for you to come over......

"Then I'll take someone to clean up the factory area in the Idrisu neighborhood first......" Abbott thought for a moment and nodded.

At this time, Nifa suddenly spoke: "Let's go to the residential area together, and you should start with the Basil neighborhood first." With your strength, progress will be much faster. ”

“…… OK. ”

After everyone had left, Balatz sighed, "Nifa, why did you agree with Ales's plan?" ”

"The guns are ringing, the death knell has arrived,"

Under Nifa's veil, those bright eyes looked at the Krims Cathedral not far away, "This is a fate that none of us can escape." ”

"You ......"

When, dang, dang.

The clock struck at four o'clock, reminding everyone in the city-state of Custer that midnight was approaching.

"Let's go, it's time for us to cooperate."

Hearing the bell, Balatz pursed his lips, and the furrow on his face deepened.

Ales has been doing well......

……

……

At the same time, in a dimly lit room, on a long conference table, there were six candlesticks, dozens of candles flickering, reflecting the shadows of the people at the table.

"Lan'er, the Secret Investigation Division has already started to act!"

"As planned, the sacrificial ritual of the Abyss Sect is enough to involve the secret priest and them, so I don't know if Ales will make a move......

"He will!" Laner said very firmly.

"Oh?"

"With his character, even if he knows that this is a trap prepared for him, he will still step into it!"

"In that case, we're one last step away from our plan!"

"Well, when the Black Pearl people arrive, we'll begin!"

"Hahaha...... I'm looking forward to that moment. ”

"It's a pity that Ales has held on for so long, I'm afraid I won't see such a great moment anymore. I wish he could be here and watch......"

"Forget it, you haven't had enough of his torture all these years?"

"I'm just talking."

"Alright, let's go and prepare, get ready for a new era in the city-state of Custer!"

A smile appeared on Lan Er's handsome face, and he raised the wine glass in front of him and got up and said, "Everyone, praise the glory!" ”

"Glory!"

……

……

"Wayne, these are the lanterns and candles to be prepared for the night, you put them away."

Marco took out the equipment he had received from the property management department for night work, "Be sure to remember that even with the light of the lantern, you can't spend more than two hours under the red moon. ”

"Well, I made a note of it."

Wayne took the lantern and candle and put them into the spatial ring, "Then are we sure we want to disperse?" ”

He looked at the personnel in front of him, who had been divided into two groups, and was a little worried that there would be an accident in the night investigation.

"Don't worry, the people in the warhead are a little crazy, and their strength is not weak." Marco looked relaxed and took Lydia's hand and shook it, "Moreover, her strength is stronger." ”

"Oh?"

Wayne looked at Lydia, remembering that he had heard that this noble lady of the Ernst family was not an extraordinary person?

"It's not extraordinary, but it can deal with extraordinary." Lydia winked at him and said mysteriously, "Sometimes it's even stronger." ”

"Awesome."

Poof.

Marco couldn't help laughing, seeing Lydia's smile freeze, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

"You, what a bastard......"

Uh, what's going on?

Wayne looked at them suspiciously, not understanding what they were playing.

"Actually, I'm envious of you, after all, not everyone goes out with two captain-level transcendent guards......"

"You still say?! I'll bite you to death! Lydia was so angry that she chased Marco and was about to bite him.

Wayne: "......"

It turns out that the way ordinary people can deal with transcendents is this, I learned ......

"Brother Marco, there should be parasites over there in the Natori neighborhood, you ...... Be careful. ”

"Ah, no problem, and the captain and Minister Yegor are not far from there, if there is real danger, I will go over and ask for help."

"Hmm."

It wasn't long before Wayne and Marco dispersed with Tina, Marco, each with a team of four warheads.

"The mission objectives are clear, right? Investigate and remove all osteo-eating insects and their parasites in the Basil neighborhood. ”

The person in charge of the Basil neighborhood on the first side of the battle department is unfortunately the one from the Lacey family, Sandiego Montoya, who almost clashed with Wayne before.

"Introduce each other to save problems with cooperation."

Wayne knew that he was questioning him and Tina, and said honestly, "Wayne Love, who is good at using muskets, is a wizard apprentice. ”

The scene when he fought the assassin before had long been seen by the people in the wardepartment, and there was no need to hide it.

The white-haired girl tilted her head, as if thinking, "Tina, fist." ”

"Kaitarn and I are in charge of Kutra Avenue to the south, Hector, and you and Chirut are in charge of the north."

As Wayne thought, after they finished the introduction, Sandiego directly arranged: "As for Wayne...... The two of you take the main road, where there are more people, and most of them come from the sea, and the number of parasites will not be too much. ”

"Understood."

Wayne looked at his serious appearance, and couldn't help but change his impression of him a lot.

This is a person who can tell the difference between occasions and is not as brainless as he appeared before.

At the same time, he also secretly raised his vigilance.

Even these transcendents, who often deal with all kinds of aberrants, are so cautious, and this mission may not be as simple as he thinks.

"Kaitarn, let's get started."

"Okay."

Keitane pulled out the detection equipment that had just been sent out by the property management department, a black box the size of a palm with a device that looked like an antenna on it.

After he activated the detection equipment, Wayne's psychic sense could sense the runic power emanating from the box.

Well?

Is it less than a hundred meters away?

"You guys also start it, and when I am in danger, I will shout, and the others will immediately support me."

"Understood."

Immediately afterward, the six separated and carefully searched for possible parasites along the three main roads in Basil's neighborhood.

Wayne and Tina re-entered the Basil neighborhood, thinking to himself: There aren't many parasites here, but there are those Vazquez people.

Let's hope they've gotten what they want and leave......

Perhaps because it was close to nightfall, there were not many people coming and going on this busy main road, even the sailors.

[You are being scanned by Robson Sverak's psychic perception.] Reward: +1 Survival Point. 】

【……】

[You are scanned by Michele Esther's psychic perception.] Reward: +1 Survival Point. 】

However, just because there are no people on the street doesn't mean there are fewer people......

Wayne looked at the more than a dozen prompts on the panel, and was still thinking about going to Basil Neighborhood to brush up on survival points.

Now it seems that the previous idea was correct.

He had just walked less than ten meters away, and he had gained more than a dozen survival points, which was really enough to give him face.

Thinking like this, Wayne took Tina in stride all the way towards the port, his mental perception covering a three-kilometer radius and not finding anything abnormal.

Compared to the panel, the detection equipment issued by the secret investigation division is completely insufficient.

If there were parasites within his perceptual range, the panel would have given him a hint.

The area of Basil is not very large, but it is bordered by cliffs from the sea to the north and south, and to the west is the port of Cust.

As a result, Basil is a bit longer east-west than the other neighborhoods.

The three main thoroughfares continue to the west and eventually converge. At the same time, there are alleys on both sides of Middle Avenue that lead to other streets.

This is also the reason why Sandiego has the confidence to support quickly, and the farthest north-south direction is no more than two kilometers.

With the strength of these transcendents, they are fast, and they can even support them in less than 30 seconds.

"Nothing?"

Wayne and Tina walked west for nearly half an hour, and they had reached the vicinity of the alley where they had come from Marco before.

But strangely, he found nothing other than some psychic perceptions.

Even the usual killing intent lock did not appear before...... Could it be that the hot-tempered sailors and pirates have changed their sexes?

Apparently impossible!

Wayne stopped, his mental perception carefully perceiving everything around him, and he always felt that there was something strange here.

It's so calm!

Not only were the sailors and the ship's personnel gone, but even the taverns that lined the streets were missing a lot of coolly dressed girls.

Wayne swept around, and his heart suddenly sank.

No wonder I felt that something was wrong, it turned out that the girls who were standing outside and enthusiastically calling for guests were gone......

How can it be?

He looked at a tavern not far in front of him, thought for a moment, and walked over with Tina.

[You have been scanned by Claire Biondini Psychic Perception.] Reward: +2 survival points. 】

Claire?

"Hey, if I were you, I wouldn't have walked in at this time~"

Hearing this, Wayne looked back at a man in half-body leather armor, "Claire?" ”

"......" Claire rolled her eyes and muttered, "I still can't hide it from you......"

"Why are you here? And what you just said you can't go in, right? ”

When Wayne saw his expression, he knew that he had guessed correctly, and pulled Tina, who was a little unusually moving next to him, and signaled, "This is not an enemy for the time being." ”

"Tina, yes."

The white-haired girl loosened her grip on the clown doll's hand, but her eyes remained fixed on Claire.

"What do you mean for the time being, I'm not your enemy in the first place, okay?"

Claire's innocent face changed shape, revealing only half of her true self, "Come with me, this is not the place to talk." ”

Wayne looked around and followed her into a nearby alley.

"Where are you going?"

"Follow me," Claire said angrily, "If I want to hurt you, do I have to wait until now~"

“…… Quite right. ”

Wayne touched his nose, he was really not used to a man showing such a charming expression......

After a few minutes of walking, Claire led him into a small house, "Come in." ”

After the spiritual perception found no abnormality, Wayne pulled Tina and walked in with him, and couldn't wait to ask, "What happened just now?" ”

Claire regained her original appearance, but instead of the short skirt tights she had before, she wore a very simple linen dress, which looked like the beautiful girl next door.

"Besides, if I hadn't appeared in time just now, you would have fallen into the net."

Wayne looked at her suspiciously, "There's something wrong with that tavern?" ”

"It's not just that tavern, it's the whole Basil neighborhood right now." Claire beckoned them to sit down.

"The whole block? No way? ”

Wayne thought that there was no hint from the mental perception and the panel just now, could it be that there was really something wrong with the Basil neighborhood?

"Someone has set up a rune circle here." Claire said casually.

"Dharma, magic circle?"

Wayne opened his mouth, "You mean to say that there weren't many pedestrians on the street just now, and it was due to the effect of the magic circle?" ”

"That's not it, there are really not many people, most of them are controlled in the rooms on both sides."

Claire shook her head, "The reason why you didn't find out is because there are magic circles in every house, so you can only perceive what they want you to 'see'. ”

So that's it!

No wonder when he was on the road before, he felt like he was being watched.

But there was no hint on the panel, and those who came to spy on him were just routinely watching, and there was no hostility towards him.

"How can there be so many taverns here, and those sailors and pirates at sea, all of a sudden?"

Wayne was puzzled, there were at least tens of thousands of people on this side of Basil neighborhood, and there were also city guards stationed there.

If something goes wrong here, the city-state hierarchy shouldn't have nothing to discover!

"Of course there are some more powerful guys."

"Who?"

Claire's face showed a solemn expression, "I also happened to find it when I came here, if I'm not mistaken, they should all be from the Black Pearl." ”

"Black Pearl...... It can't be the Emperor of the Sea who came to Custer, right? Wayne suddenly said, "I heard that he won't come to land easily." ”

"How could it be him?" Claire said angrily, "If it was that person who came, I would have run away a long time ago." ”

Run?

Wayne looked at her with an expression that didn't look like a lie, but he had no idea about the strength of the Sea Emperor Isabello.

Not to mention Isabelo, so far, he has seen several ministerial-level shots.

Strength...... That's it, it doesn't feel much better than him.

"Is he that scary?"

"It's not just terror, how can that person who has been crisscrossing the Cordor Sea for decades, if his strength is not strong, can he do this? Do you remember that sea monster you saw the other day? ”

"Yes." Rahim, the behemoth of the depths, Wayne was so impressed that he almost blinded him.

"That monster is the pet of the Emperor of the Sea, Isabello!"

"Huh??"

, that terrifying beast of the deep is Isabelo's pet?

Now Wei En has an idea of the emperor's strength, and he definitely belongs to the inhuman level of transcendental.

Even pets are at the level of a third-level calamity, how strong is Isabello's strength.

A fourth-level calamity comparable to Tina's complete distortion?

"It's true, this is the news I just got," Claire's expression was a little ugly, "and now I want to leave, I'm afraid I can't leave." ”

Is the situation already so critical?

Wayne thought with some hindsight: In the morning, when he met Poulson, he didn't see that they were about to start the sacrificial ceremony.

He thought it would be easier to clean up the parasites.

"What's going on now? Is it related to the Abyss Sect? ”

"If only they were the ones that would have solved it...... Claire sighed, "Actually, I met with the Abyss Sect's dependents last night, and I found the location of those parasites. ”

"Did you see him too?"

"Also?"

Wayne said honestly, "I fought him in the Ruhr neighborhood today. ”

"Fighting? You? Claire looked at him in amazement, "You're not dead...... It shouldn't be. ”

"Under normal circumstances, it's really hard to deal with."

Wayne looked at Tina next to him and said, "You better tell me what the situation is now." ”

"Okay, I just have something to ask you for help, or help each other......"

Thanks to the Endless Dimension boss for the tip

I haven't added anything to it today, but there are still two chapters with word counts...... I work too much during the day, I don't have time to write, and I'll add more tomorrow if I'm not busy.
