"Drop, yes, drop ......"

The clown looked at the empty theater, the red glow in his eyes became more and more abundant, and the smile on his face became more and more crazy, "Damn, why did I die because I am so big and a little cutie with thorns?" ”

"You, it's you, you're very wrong!"

"What's wrong with me?" Wayne looked at him innocently, empty, his mind empty, thinking about nothing.

"There's something wrong with that musket, there's something wrong with a weapon of that power, there's a big problem!"

"Guns?"

Wayne, of course, has a problem with the sniper rifle.

This is the perfect combination of mechanical technology in the previous life and the rune knowledge of this world, and the power is naturally not comparable to those muskets that are filled with gunpowder.

"yes, it's that gun, how can it break through the defenses of the thorny cutie?"

The demon clown appeared next to him instantly, grabbed his hand, put the sniper rifle in front of his eyes and looked closely, and muttered, "There is a strange beauty......"

Compared to the weapons of the Third Age, this sniper rifle looks very rough at first glance, but on closer inspection, there are obvious rune marks on it.

"This is a rune weapon?"

"Well," Wayne didn't dare to let go, he was afraid that the clown would go with the sniper rifle, so he grabbed it firmly and replied, "It shouldn't be a problem, right?" ”

"Of course, of course not, it's just that very few people use runes like this." The Joker looked at Wayne thoughtfully, "Combine mechanical weapons...... I'm more and more confident now that you can help me find Lilith. ”

"No more fateful guidance or anything like that?" Wayne pouted.

"With the speed at which your strength increases, sooner or later you will stand at the top of this world, and when the time comes, you will ......"

"I thank you."

Although Wayne had similar thoughts, he always felt a weird feeling coming out of the demon clown's mouth.

It's like being targeted by something even more terrifying, and the difficulty of survival is directly upgraded several times.

"Here's your drop reward, take it."

The red glow in the clown's eyes dissipated, and it turned out to be a pair of black eyes. I saw him take out a key from the pocket of his jacket and put it in Wayne's hand.

"It's the key to this theater."

"Open the theater?"

Wayne looked at the golden key in his hand, it was very quaint, and there was a black gem inlaid in the keyhole, which was very exquisite.

"Anywhere, you can enter here at any time." The Joker's tone was calm, as if he was saying something inconsequential, "It's my reward for you." ”

Wayne was stunned for a moment, can he enter this theater at any time?

"You, Mr. Leonard, are you saying that I am free to enter and leave this theater? Body? ”

"That's what it means,"

The clown waved his hand, his expression a little gloomy, "Let's go quickly, and get out of here before I am sober and have not changed my mind." ”

"Leave?"

As soon as the words fell, Wayne saw the key in his hand turn around autonomously.

This is?

Before he could let go of the key, Wayne noticed that the surrounding scene was spinning rapidly, and even his body was spinning and shrinking into the key, disappearing in an instant.

After he left, the Joker stood alone in the center of the theater, with his hands outstretched as if embracing the world, "Lilith, I will definitely find you." ”

"Young Mr. Wizard, treasure that key, it is the glory that Arnold Lilith Leonard has bestowed upon you!"

"It's also the glory of Turing! Hahahaha...... Forehead? ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the clown open his eyes suddenly, his scarlet eyes flashed with some doubts, he looked at everything around him empty, what about people?

"You just said glory?"

"Hee-ha...... Glory? Why did it suddenly occur to talk about this? ”

The clown shook his head for a while before he staggered back into Tina's world, crushed to the ground.

Woowoo...... Damn, I don't know when I'll get out of here!?

On the other hand, Wayne felt that only a second, or less, had passed, and he was back in the living room of Montoya Manor.

"This ......"

Wayne looked at the golden key in his hand in a daze, and he could enter and leave the theater freely...... This sudden gift made him a little overwhelmed.

He didn't understand the Joker's intention to do this, it was really as simple as a reward?

After a moment of thought, Wayne put the key into the spatial ring.

No matter what the clown had, he couldn't resist the temptation to enter the theater freely.

It's a different kind of space from the current world.

If he guessed correctly, the theater should not be threatened by the Red Moon Contamination.

And in the event of a fatal crisis, he can also use it to hide in that theater......

From this point of view alone, the Golden Key is definitely a great gift!

Wayne looked at Tina, who was already asleep, and the clown doll in her hand, and sighed softly.

Good guys, bad guys?

It doesn't seem to make much sense to talk about this.

Because within the city-state, the kingdom has no obvious moral constraints, and some are only barely maintained...... This world is really weird.

As for Wayne's departure and return, Sandiego and the others, who were cleaning their filth on the second floor, did not notice it.

When they met again, their expressions became much more relaxed.

"Tina, asleep?" Sandiego asked, sitting on the couch across from Wayne and looking at the white-haired girl curled up in Wayne's arms and sleeping soundly.

"She should be a little tired."

"Kids." Hector said casually.

"I'm her age, and I'm still being trained by my family," Chirut lamented, "I wanted to leave Custer for Crand, but I didn't expect to be placed in the Secret Division." ”

"Isn't it good? Crane doesn't have as much of an ease of life as he does here. Kaitarn, who teamed up with Sandiego, said flatly.

Wayne glanced at him, this man seemed to rarely speak, and he could count the number of times he had spoken on both hands from the time they met until now.

The sense of presence is comparable to Tina's.

"It's not bad, it's just ......" Chirut glanced at Wayne, hesitated and said nothing.

"Alright, let's take a break." Sandiego had no intention of letting him continue, and waved his hand: "In an hour, leave on time." ”

"Okay."

……

……

At the same time, the core circle of the city-state of Caster was located in the stone tower.

Lesy and Yegor sat at the entrance of the stone tower like overseers, staring at the busy scholars around the high platform.

“…… I found a problem where the texture did not match the original design drawing. ”

"I also have it here, but the texture has been rerouted!"

"Professor Lin Qiaoya, please come over and take a look, is there a rune node here before?"

“……”

As scholars advance, problems are exposed from time to time.

On the high platform, Alicia also moved her stiff neck, glanced around, and walked towards Lacey and the others.

"Alicia, any questions?"

"I haven't found a big problem yet," Alicia looked at the three of them and muttered, "But there are a lot of small problems. ”

"Can it be fixed?"

This is Lacey's main concern, and if it can't be repaired, all parts of the city-state will be affected in a short period of time.

"It's hard,"

"Judging from the problems sorted out so far, in addition to the lack of rune nodes to detect the bone eater mother worm in this rune array, the role of the core node on the high platform that is not enabled is mainly responsible for opening the ...... of the array to attack the runes"

"Attack runes?"

Lacey was stunned for a moment, glanced at Yegor, and hurriedly asked, "Can't it really be activated?" If someone takes the opportunity to attack the city-state at this time, without the cooperation of the magic circle, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Alicia shook her head, "I've already checked, not only the core rune, but also the surrounding lines that connect it have also been altered. ”

"It's really bad news." Yegor frowned, subconsciously took a deep breath, and remembered that in order not to affect the work of the scholars, he did not ignite.

"So what can I do to fix it?"

"Unless the entire magic circle is closed, and then the Crane side arranges rune experts to come over as soon as possible, it is possible to repair the rune circle."

"Crane ......" Lacey's expression changed slightly, and she shouted to the busy scholars, "Professor Linchoa, please come here." ”

Lin Qiaoya glanced back at them, and instructed the scholar next to him to continue to check before he came over and asked, "Have you made a new discovery?" ”

"Now we need to discuss the repair of the circle."

"Oh?"

"You come on." Lacey gestured to Alicia.

"Professor, the current magic circle does not have the effect of opening the attack rune, it can only ......be repaired again," Alicia briefly explained the situation.

"Then we'll have to wait ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Lacey raised his hand and interrupted, "We already know that we have to wait for someone from the Crane side, I want to ask how long it will take?" ”

"When?"

Lin Joya looked at the eyes of several people staring at him, thought for a while and said, "In the afternoon, I have already submitted an application to the council, and I am afraid that I will have to wait until tomorrow to receive a reply." ”

"With the time it takes to pass to Crane to prepare, it will take at least four days."

"Is there any other way to shorten this speed?" Yegor seemed to think of something, and his face became more and more solemn, "I'm worried that something will happen to Karst during this period. ”

"No, at least there's no way on our side. Unless Crane arranges for the latest steam ship, it will take them at least three days to reach Custer's side. ”

Yegor muttered, "Three days ......"

Lacey looked at him and asked, "Is there any way?" Minister. ”

"If there is a specialist from Crane, can you carry out the restoration work?"

"Command?"

Lin Joya was stunned for a moment, and then thought about the feasibility of this method, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, "Yes, as long as they describe it clearly enough." ”

"Are you sure?"

"No problem at all!"

"Then apply according to this method," Yegor nodded, "As long as the circle can be repaired, it doesn't matter if they come to Custer or not." ”

"Alright, alright, I'll go back and apply to the council." Lin Joya walked out of the stone tower with a happy face.

If this thing can be approved, his rune literature will be able to go further, and the future of the city-state of Karst will not need the support of experts from Crane's side.

After he left, Alicia whispered, "That, actually, I can do it too." ”

She also knows the benefits of doing so, so she wants to get this opportunity, even if it doesn't do it directly, but just participates in it.

"When he comes back, you'll propose that everyone participate."

"Is that okay?"

Lacey raised her eyebrows, "Of course you can, I'm sure Deputy Director Nifa will definitely help you fight for this opportunity when he finds out." ”

"Teacher......" Alicia looked tangled, gritted her teeth and said, "If he doesn't agree, I'll ask Teacher Nifa to help me." ”

"Well, don't be afraid of ......"

Outside the stone tower, Carly and Melbell stood guard.

"Looks like there's a way to fix the problem, that's great." Carly had a smile on her face.

"You say, who is doing such a thing? I've always felt that the Abyss Sect alone can't do it to such an extent. ”

"Your Majesty, I don't know."

Melbel stood beside her, his eyes glancing over his head from time to time, as if there was something there that he cared about.

"Let's hope everything goes well......"

What they didn't know was that in the ordinary small building above their heads, Lin Qiaoya, who had just returned to the office, was lying on his desk with blank eyes.

The puddle of blood under his body was spreading to the surroundings as the blood flowed out.

Next to him, a man in a black leotard and a mask watched him die completely before calmly turning away.

Scholars or something, they're really smart, and their brains are just easy to use.

But sometimes it's not a good thing to be too smart, is it?

……

……

By the time the Krims Cathedral bells struck four times, the vast majority of people in the city-state of Caster had fallen asleep.

The doors and windows are closed, and gas lamps or candles illuminate the room. The faint light resisted the light of the red moon outside the window, avoiding the erosion of pollution.

But there are also a few people who rush on this rainy night.

The members of the War Department and the Investigation Department of the Secret Investigation Division carefully guarded the lanterns in their hands while killing the parasites that crawled out of the darkness, silently guarding the safety of the city-state.

A few gunshots rang out from time to time throughout the city-state, with the exception of Basil, which confirmed that there were no parasites.

The most densely populated neighborhood was the Idrissu neighborhood in the north, and even with Albert's strength, it took a lot of effort to find those parasites.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he could hardly believe that nearly one in twenty people in the entire residential area were parasitized by bone eaters.

These are the elite of the city-state, and most of them are irreplaceable technical experts......

"Minister, this place is cleared."

"How much has it cleaned up now?" Abbott stood expressionless, letting the rain wash over his body, his eyes flickering.

"A total of 1,563 parasites have been killed so far."

"Hmm," Abbott nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's go, go to the Laos neighborhood." ”

Even if he didn't want to recall the scene he had seen before, he ...... The task must be carried out, and Director Ales's efforts must not be in vain.

As for the rest, just wait until daytime!

On the other side, Wayne and the others were busy until four o'clock in the morning before meeting up with Marco and the others.

"Sandiego, did you clean it up so quickly?"

Marcelo, who was fighting with Marco, had a loud voice, and his body was even rougher than Sandiego's, and he shouted at the top of his voice.

"Shut up, idiot, are you going to wake everyone up?" Sandiego snorted.

"I can't care about you for a while." Although Marcello suppressed his voice, everyone present could hear it clearly.

"Poof......

Lydia laughed, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, it's just that Marcello's voice is too, so good, I can't help it...... Not. ”

Marco hurriedly went up to cover her mouth and sneered, "Captain Santiago, she didn't mean to. ”

"Hahaha......"

It's okay that he didn't explain, but everyone laughed along with this explanation.

"You guys," Sandiego shook his head helplessly, "one last time to check the Natoli neighborhood, and then return to the Secret Division." ”

"What about Basil?"

"Don't go there for now, it's a little more complicated than expected, but I haven't found any parasites."

"Okay."

Immediately afterward, the group separated again and headed towards their respective mission objectives, trying to remove all parasites as much as possible.

You use your musket to kill Shagdal Black (Bone Eater Parasite). Appraise...... Special Rewards: +2 Survival Points, +1 Marksmanship. 】

【……】

[You used your musket to kill Tulio Vincent (Bone Eater Parasite)...... Special Rewards: +2 Survival Points, +1 Marksmanship. 】

Since leaving the manor, Wayne hasn't had Zero kill the parasites in his place, and will even use muskets to rob monsters before Sandiego and them.

As he kills more and more parasites, he is about to reach full level of marksmanship experience.

Marksmanship Specialist (957/1000) ...... （976/1000）。

But until the red moon disappeared and the sky brightened a little, he couldn't finish his spear skills by killing the parasites.

In fact, in the second half of the Natori neighborhood, there are only a few dozen parasites that have slipped through the net.

"It seems that everyone is very responsible."

Wayne didn't care too much, he had saved a lot of survival points during this time, and when he found a convenient time, he could add a few more spell skill levels to improve his strength.

At that time, it will only be the consumption of a few dozen survival points, and he will be able to improve his spear skills by another level.

Although this is a little different from what Wayne had expected at the beginning, the way of fighting with various guns and spells has gradually become familiar and accustomed to this time.

I have to say - it smells so good.

Especially after he made a sniper rifle, the sense of security directly increased after one shot.

It even gave Wayne the illusion that he was strong now.

Perhaps, maybe he's really strong now......

"Mission accomplished, return to the Secret Division!"

After inspecting the last manor in the Natori neighborhood, Sandiego breathed a sigh of relief and waved for everyone to go back.

"It's finally over."

"I don't know what the situation is on the minister's side, with Director Alex's help, I think the Laos neighborhood has been cleared, right?"

"Hector, do you not believe Minister Albert, or do you not believe Director Alex?" Chirut smirked.

“…… I believe both. ”

A few people returned to the secret division with laughter, and the task was completed to relieve a major crisis in the city-state of Custer, and everyone was in a good mood.

However, when they entered the secret department, no one could laugh.

"What? Director Ales died? Sandiego grabbed the guard by the collar, bruises burst out on his forehead, and shouted angrily, "What are you kidding?" If you die, the boss will be fine! ”

"I, I, woo woo woo ......" There were still two tears on the guard's face, and he let him pull it, without the slightest intention of resisting.

"Captain Sandiego, let him go, or ask him when he goes back."

At that moment, Wayne's spiritual perception covered the entire range of the Secret Division.

Except for the detention area, which was protected by a rune barrier, everyone else gave him the feeling of decadence, and he could even hear faint cries.

By all indications, something was indeed going on in the Secret Division.

"Yes, Captain, go back and ask first." Kaitahn pursed his lips and spoke.

"Director Ales......"

Hearing his words, Sandiego let go of the guards and hurriedly led the others in the direction of the warhead.

Wayne didn't go with them, and that Director Ales was really dead?

Is it the Matteo of the day, or is it someone else?

His deepest impression of Director Ales was at the last celebration held by the Church of the Dawn and the Secret Division.

I remember that if Chief Ales hadn't interrupted Carly's chant, the eyes of the Lord of the Dawn would have fallen on the city-state of Custer.

It's like saving his life directly, well, and everyone else's.

How could such a person easily die at the hands of the Abyss Sect?

And in the absence of Director Ales, wouldn't the letter that Claire asked him to pass on yesterday not find the recipient?

Do you want to take a look?

Thinking of this, he pulled Tina and went straight back to the investigation office.

After letting Tina sit aside, Wayne took out the letter that Claire had given him, and the letter stamp was gone?

He saw the mark left by the torn envelope, and thought thoughtfully: This should not have been written by Claire, how could anyone tear it open and read it again after writing it?

Wayne took out the letter inside and looked at it, it was still written in Gonzare?

Now, he was even more sure that this letter was not written by Claire, just that scumbag......

"Ales, my old friend, I'm sorry for taking so long to get back to you, I hope you don't blame me."

"Since that incident happened seventeen years ago, I have traveled to various city-states on four continents, and I still haven't found them, and those people are like ghosts, completely gone."

"I'm sorry that I haven't been able to complete your commission so far, and I hope that after you hear this news, you won't be hostile to me and our eternal life, so I won't be able to sleep."

People of the Eternal Life Society?

Also commissioned by Director Ales to find them, who are they?

"I'm sorry I can only investigate so much in such a long time."

"If you can't get angry, take your anger out on the culprit who caused it all, and I'm sure you know who he is, the Ernst family."

"I don't have a good impression of the Glory Society either, especially after knowing that the forbidden clown was stimulated by them to get out of control."

"Finally, look forward to your reply, your closest comrade-in-arms, Menol Vannis Stringer."

Ernst?!

Wayne's eyes froze, this name refers to the Earl family of the city-state of Custer?

Thank you for the 20190929113029549 of the book friend's reward, thank you very much.

It's a chapter today.,Tomorrow night is the end of the three-day start.,There will definitely be more updates.。
