Chapter 40: Waiting at Night

Lanerwes?

Several of the night watchmen on duty looked at each other, and one of them suddenly remembered the arrival of the evil god that had happened in the city of Tingen last month, and thought of the wanted man who was still on the run, and exclaimed.

"Is that Lanlius from the Aurora Society?"

"That's right, the letter also says that he has the divinity of the 'true Creator' in him."

The night watchman who came to report could feel the disbelief in the gazes of his colleagues looking at him, and he himself felt the same way when he received the telegram.

The captain who took the envelope tore open the seal, took out the paper on which the telegram was interpreted, glanced at it quickly, and raised his head again.

"Is the call back confirmed? Are the sources reliable? ”

He is the "Requiem" of Sequence 6 of the Sleepless Pathway, and was the captain of another city before being transferred to Beckland, and has dealt with many major events involving the whole city, but is still very jealous of the "true creator", especially after the Aurora Society caused a tragedy in Tingen last month.

"The informant's intentions were verified through the seal, and the contents of the report letter were true, well, at least what he himself thought was true, but further divination did not work."

The captain nodded, not surprised, this matter is likely to involve an evil god, and the difficulty of divination can be imagined.

"And this afternoon there was a letter in the church of St. Samuel that was dropped into the mailbox at the door of the church, the content of which is consistent with the report letter from the West Villas field, and the two verify each other, and I think the information reported is true."

The night watchman who came in to report handed another letter to his captain, who hurriedly read it and stood up, allowing the reporter to take his place while he walked out the door.

"Fortunately, His Excellency Sesima, the Sword of the Goddess, is in Beckland, we don't need to wait for the support of the Templars, I will report to him now, and you should also prepare, there may be a big operation tonight."

"Yes, Captain."

The rest of the night watchmen replied one after another.

Watching the sky grow darker outside the window, Angel drew the curtains and began to make today's dinner.

It was a little earlier than her usual time for dinner, but she had to get to the dockyard in East Bailang after dark, so she had to eat early.

Today, she made several attempts to ascertain the time of the night watchers' actions, but they all failed due to lack of information.

However, it is certain that the night watchman will act as soon as the information is received, and the best time to do so is tonight. In this way, it can avoid the daytime when the workers are working, and it is also most conducive to the night watchers who mainly use the "sleepless" route to exert their strength.

And even if it happened that Lanerus was sleeping, he might be able to capture the wanted man alive......

"But don't capture him alive, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to sneak into Chanismen to kill someone."

Angel took a hard bite of the bread in his hand, as if this was Lanlius.

……

After a light dinner, she went back to the basement and put on all the equipment she had checked many times yesterday, the revolver full of "Storm Convergence" was inserted into the holster at her waist, the stand-in wand was tied next to it, the dagger was tied behind her waist, the bullets and cut paper figures were put in her pockets, the magic mirror was hidden close to her body, the magic pocket watch was tied to her left wrist, and the "Hidden Holy Emblem" hung on the citrine pendant on her right wrist.

Wearing the "Ring of Madness", she watched as the pale blonde hair on her shoulders instantly turned an inconspicuous black.

Aside from the "Crimson Eye" she had received from the dead Bishop of the Rose, she had brought all the weapons and equipment she could bring.

Angel took the eyeball out of the bullet box, and as soon as it came into contact with her skin, she sensed all the life in the vicinity, including the occupants of the apartment next door, the pedestrians walking on the street, and even the critters in the sewers.

Based on the postures they had in their minds, Angel could even guess what the people were doing at the moment.

In the city, magical objects that can observe other life through the walls are very powerful, but unfortunately this polluted eyeball is constantly making disturbing murmurs, and people can't help but listen to it, but they can't hear anything clearly.

The most important thing is that Lanerus is likely to have the divinity of the real creator, and getting close to the other party with the magical items of the Aurora Society is tantamount to startling the snake.

After much hesitation, she threw her eyeball back into the bullet box and placed it in the dark compartment in the basement.

Turning off the lights and locking the door, Angel stepped out into the street, stopped a hired carriage, and headed to the docklands adjacent to the Bridge District.

Then she walked instead, getting closer and closer to the huge building on the banks of the Tasok River and the bell tower jutting into the clouds next to the dockyard.

If you go to the top of the bell tower, you should be able to see most of the dock area clearly, and any actions of the night watchman can be quickly known......

But she didn't go to the bell tower, she knew that the view here was good, didn't the others know?

If the night watchman is cautious, it is likely that there will be a corresponding observer here who will be responsible for detecting and responding to emergencies, and there may even be more than one person.

She no longer has the identity of a night watchman, there is no need to meet with these "former colleagues", in case they know each other, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?

Bypassing the bell tower, Angel came to the dormitory of the dock union, which was a brick-red two-story building, the first floor was the hall and various functional facilities, and the entire second floor was separated by dormitories, at this time there were still some lights on, and the figures inside were shaking.

She pretended to be a pedestrian, wore a hood, hid her hands under her cloak, and walked slowly past the dormitory without squinting.

Tonight, she was only going to be a quiet bystander.

Walking through the alley next to the dormitory to a three-story office building, she quickly climbed from the rear to the top floor, found a corner of the dormitory where Lanlius was hiding from the vantage point of the bell tower, and crouched down, covered her body with a black cloak, and fixed her eyes on the small brick-red building.

The Nightwatchman is ready to act, and she waits patiently.

————

Fortunately, I didn't come here until dinner, otherwise I would have been so hungry that my chest would have been pressed against my back under the influence of the "Ring of Madness......

Angel took a look at the clock tower and saw that the hands had crossed 0 o'clock and pointed to 1, indicating that it had now passed Sunday and was in the early hours of the morning.

There was a figure above the bell tower probing his brain, and Angel could only faintly see the movements of the other party in the dark vision, and he seemed to be paying attention to the movement of the dock union dormitory, which had been standing there for more than two hours since about 11 o'clock.

The night watchman's observation post gave Angel a great deal of confidence, otherwise she would have almost thought that the night watchman had canceled the operation.

Retracting her gaze from the bell tower and looking back in the direction of the dormitory, she was surprised to see a huge object floating across the Tasok River, it was olive-shaped, more than 20 meters long, and its whole body was painted black to absorb the moonlight, and if it weren't for the two giant propellers spinning behind her, she could barely distinguish it from the night background, even if she had dark vision.

It's an airship!

The huge propeller spun rapidly, propelling the airship to the top of the East Bailang dock, the behemoth did not know what to do, and did not make a sound at all, until the airship slowly descended to a height almost parallel to where she was, and Angel could barely feel a hint of a stirring breeze.

The airship is made of cotton fabric wrapped in the internal airbags, and there is a light alloy support in the middle, which stretches out the surface of the cotton cloth into a square. Several machine guns, a large-caliber gun, and even several bomb ports protruded from the metal box hanging below.

At this time, these weapons were all aimed at the small brick-red building that looked small in comparison.

"It seems that today's night watchman has invested a lot, and he actually sent an airship, could it be that there are military personnel involved in the operation?" Looking at the heavily armed airship not far in front of him, Angel pondered, "But are they planning to directly cover Lan'erus's hiding place?" There were quite a few civilians in there. ”

Soon, the actions of the night watchman proved that Angel's worries were unnecessary.

Three figures in black trench coats appeared beneath the airship, and Angel could see that all three were wearing conspicuous red gloves on their hands.

This is a direct indication of their identity - the Red Glove Squad.

The man in the lead carried a silver-white metal box in his hand, and the collar of his trench coat was raised high to cover his neck and chin.

Angel instantly confirmed the identity of the other party - "Sword of the Goddess", Crestai Cessima!
