The ladies in the hall were cleaning up their minds, and Leitra left the tavern with Lilith.

The two of them walked down the street for a short time before they plunged headlong into a grocery store that was being renovated.

"After Emily was arrested, the news came?"

"It's not so much that I've been arrested, but that I've been temporarily invited to the police station.

The police know that she is your person and her identity is not ordinary, so they don't dare to do anything to her.

However, Emily has been present at the scene of the crime more than once, and has acted suspiciously. This time, he had a brief contact with the murderer.

The police station had no choice but to invite her to sit inside the police station first.

And ask her to write a letter asking you to bail her out. ”

Wright took the letter from Lilith and looked at it, and finally raised an eyebrow.

"I've learned wisely, and I've learned to use code words."

According to Emily's letter, she has captured the alleged Misty Serial Killer.

It's just a pity that in the end, the other party used a secret method to escape.

But as he left, the man did mumble a word.

Death is nothing but a lie.

Although it is difficult to conclude that he is related to the Devil of Lies based on a single sentence, in this situation, no clues can be missed.

"Okay, I didn't get nothing, and I deserve praise. Let's go, let's pick her up. ”

Wright and Lilith closed the door to the grocery store and headed down the slippery road towards the guard post on the high post.

The Harbour City of Kedrus is a typical seaside city, the whole city is high in the south and low in the north, and the farther away from the harbour the terrain is higher.

The Castle Lord's Mansion is located at the southernmost tip of the city, and the most prosperous neighborhood surrounds the Castle Lord's Mansion. The people who live there are either rich or noble.

People, call it the Upper Town.

Wright, on the other hand, temporarily settled down to set up shop, and a short walk down was the cargo post and the fishing port.

It's close to the sea, and even if there is no fog, the sea breeze is still mixed with fishy sea vapor, which makes it wet everywhere, and it is not as livable as the upper city.

Most of the people who live here are traders and fishermen, or workers on the docks who rely on their strength to eat.

People, call it the lower city.

It is obviously a city, but it is divided into two cities. The dividing line between the upper and lower cities is a street known as Boulevard du Lucerne.

The headquarters of the Autonomous Guard, which is responsible for policing the entire seaport city, is located on the Avenue de la Luxon.

Wright led Lilith all the way up to Lucerne Boulevard, where the pedestrians were in a hurry, like frightened birds.

The city was overwhelmed by the strange events that had occurred with the fog a month earlier, and people lived in fear.

Those who have doors and roads have already hid out. The bustling seaside port is half empty in a month.

The liveliest place on Boulevard du Lucerne is, of course, the headquarters building of the Autonomous Guard.

What was once only responsible for patrolling and catching petty theft has been transformed into the last psychological defense line for the people of Harbour City.

Pushing open the door to the security station, Wright and Lilith walked in with their heads held high.

Babylon, the director who was arranging the work, saw him at a glance, and then ran over with a smile on his face.

"Sir Wright, Miss Lilith! Gui'an! ”

Wright and Lilith smiled and returned the salute, they were old acquaintances with the chief of the security department.

The day after receiving the letter in the Holy Capital, Wright took Lilith and Emily on the convoy of the Sea Clan Mission's return home.

The group of sea tribes first came to the nearest fishing port in the holy capital, and then changed to the fleet prepared in advance, went directly down the river, and returned to the beach in a few days.

After parting ways with the Sea Clan, Wright took the two girls on a tourist ship and prepared to take the waterway to the harbor city of Kedrus.

As a result, due to the frequent strange incidents in Kedrus, the sea boat tour group temporarily changed the route and canceled the trip to the Kedrus seaport.

In desperation, Wright and his party went ashore again, bought a carriage, and arrived at the place.

The whole process can be described as twists and turns.

But when they stepped into Cruss Harbour City, Wright secretly said that this time they had to come and see for themselves.

This city is so weird.

It's full of twists and irrationalities, and it's like a collection of weird things.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for a city with such a small number of people and such a large place to have so many strange phenomena.

And it's still the first half of the month, there is no, and suddenly after a thick fog, it grows out along the root of the wall like dog pee.

It's like a county town, even if it is outstanding, it is impossible to occupy eight places in the top ten in the national competition examination.

The ancestral grave of the county magistrate is not allowed to spray Mach rings?

If everything is different, it must be a demon, but what kind of monster it is, we still have to investigate it a little.

For the sake of convenience, Wright came here as a nobleman of the First Empire. With Lilith here, this kind of documentation and identity authentication is simply not too simple.

At the same time, he is a nobleman who is good at business and has a close relationship with the Sea Clan.

In a remote coastal city like Kruth, a nobleman like Wright is very popular. has a friendship with the Sea Clan, and is even more regarded as a guest by the city lord.

On top of that, he's also exceptionally rich!

Because of the fog, Harbour City has run away too many people. Some shops are sold one after another, and the price is very depressed.

On the first day of his arrival, Wright spent a lot of money to buy three shops, and even gave a lot of gifts to the city lord's mansion.

All of a sudden, Wright became a hot figure in the city.

The key is that his arrival and action have had the effect of stabilizing people's hearts. The panic has been greatly alleviated.

The lord thanked him, and the sheriff thanked him even more.

"Mr. Wright, you're finally here! Get your female companion back! ”

"Huh? What happened? She's been arrested, and she's not honest? ”

The director looked bitter: "How dare we arrest your female companion, we just invited her here to have a cup of tea and take a break in my office by the way."

As a result, Miss Emily turned out to be ...... It turned out to be ......"

Wright was also interested: "What's wrong with her?" ”

"She actually went to lecture to the prisoners who were locked up, shouting some strange slogans, saying some strange things, and what kind of ideological cleansing she was doing?

The strangest thing is that she ...... The prisoners had to clean the cells, and the entrance had to be expanded.

The prisoners, they were terrified! ”

Wright's old face flushed: "What about people? Take me to her! ”

"Yes, yes! Two of you, please! ”

As if he had seen a savior, the director led the two to the second floor.

At this moment, Emily has been persuaded to go back to the director's office, but she is still eager to chat with the guards, annoying the guards enough.

When he saw Wright and Lilith coming, he immediately became honest.

"You...... It's very practicing. ”

"Ahem, Master Wright! You're finally here! ”

Emily immediately pounced, was held down by Wright's reach, and then transferred to Lilith to the side.

According to the factory settings, Emily is Wright's female companion.

After all, Wright is a rich and powerful aristocratic son, and it is normal to be accompanied by a beautiful partner.

And this female companion is not only beautiful and temperamental, but also a powerful magician.

This makes Wright, a nobleman, have more face.

As for Lilith, she is nominally Wright's distant little cousin.

Intermarriage among nobles is a common thing, so some ambiguous and intimate small actions between the two on weekdays will not arouse suspicion.

"Mr. Director, I'm really sorry to cause you trouble."

"It's okay, it's okay! We are honoured that Miss Emily is passionate and righteous and willing to solve problems in Harbour City. ”

"After I bring her home, I will discipline her strictly!"

"It's work, it's work!"

Wright glared fiercely at Emily, who struggled to squeeze out a pitiful expression for a long time.

"I'll clean you up when you get home! Come with me! ”

"Oh......"

The trio left the guard station all the way back to the renovated grocery store.

As soon as the door closed, Wright slapped the counter.

"Emily, you can! You still went to other people's prisons to do ideological work for prisoners?

Who can you do with that thought? Isn't this a misguided child? ”

Emily hid behind Lilith and gave a flattering smile, "No, I'm ...... I'd like to give you a try.

What if, it succeeds? ”

"Do you have that hardware? Do you have that software? You...... Forget it. ”

Letra sat down in a chair, "Let's talk, you found the murderer?" ”

"I didn't find it, I caught it! But! He just turned into nothingness and fled! ”

Emily explained in detail how she investigated, how she searched, and how she was arrested.

"After I saved the girl, the murderer tried to attack me in turn. As a result, I was suppressed by an ice roar, and then trapped in an ice cage.

Just as I was about to arrest him, he disappeared.

Then I was spotted by the guards who arrived.

Didn't you say that I couldn't have a conflict with them, so I had to be caught. ”

After hearing this, Wright's brows tightened, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "You said he disappeared, did you disappear with a swish, or did you swish...... disappeared in one fell swoop. ”

“…… What's the difference? ”

Lilith rolled her eyes, "It's really tiring to listen to the two of you talking. Wright means that the murderer disappeared suddenly or gradually. ”

"Fade away! It is slowly fading. Then I went to catch him, and I got empty. But I'm sure he fled. Because after he was gone, I could still feel his breath.

It's just that the fog at that time obscured my insight and failed to catch him. ”

Wright bowed slightly: "Then it's not a means of spatial leaping like teleportation or teleportation......

It seems that my initial inference was correct.

The demon of lies wants to sink the entire harbor into the cracks of dreams. ”

Emily tilted her head: "Why, what's in it for him?" ”

"Bringing things from dreams into the present world comes at a great cost.

But if it is the other way around, if the things of this world are sunk into dreams, the energy that overflows from reality to fiction will also be massive.

If the Lie Demon does succeed, he will receive an incomparably large amount of dream energy feedback.

It is very likely that he will use this energy to open the seal at the bottom of Dragon Island. ”

Emily didn't understand anymore: "But, hasn't Dragon Island disappeared already?" Could it be that they have been dragged into a dream by the demon of lies? ”

Wright pondered for a moment and analyzed, "As far as I can deduce, not yet.

The conditions for dragging worldly things into dreams are extremely harsh, and it is not possible to do so under normal circumstances.

The Devil of Lies also has the advantage of the concept of lies, so it can be done theoretically.

But even if it is a small harbor city where human beings live, he has not succeeded in laying out it until now.

The terrifying Dragon Island...... If he dragged it into a dream with a thick fog, then he wouldn't have to bother to break the seal.

He's playing dominoes right now!

Arrange the dominoes of different sizes, from smallest to largest. As long as the calculation is done properly, push to the first domino. can cause a chain reaction, and finally push the largest piece to it.

Now the strange things in Harbour City are the dominoes he has cultivated.

We'll have to find a way to thwart his plot and push him out of the shadows!

For example, cultivate your own dominoes. ”

Lilith turned to look at him, "You said, it can't be your Cult of Flesh and Blood, right?" ”
