Chapter Twenty-Seven: Midnight, Sneak Attack on the Way Back
Looking at the notice, there was a lot of criticism in the crowd.
"The core members of the church have become murderous monsters, and now the church refuses to help with the supernatural investigation, damn the church. ”
"Yes, Mr. King is more trustworthy than the church. ”
Downing led Sonia away from the crowd and continued down the street.
"It seems that the old director's report has reached the hands of the director of the General Directorate of Investigation and has returned. ”
Raventown is a long way from where the General Directorate is located, but it's no surprise that there's always a way to deliver news quickly where supernatural forces are pervasive.
At the same time, I could feel that the hand that the girl was holding was a lot harder, and a little nervous, obviously because of the notice just now.
After sending the girl back to the house, Sonia worriedly admonished.
"Stay safe, I'll prepare a sumptuous dinner when you get back. ”
Tang Ning grinned confidently.
"Don't worry, I'll cook and cook a great dinner when the time comes. ”
Seeing the girl enter the door, Tang Ning walked in the direction of the Paranormal Investigation Bureau.
Regarding the Eye of the Voyeur, he has his own plans.
If the matter is of great benefit to him and the danger is under control, he will try his best to solve the case.
If this matter is too dangerous and even life-threatening, he will not hesitate to be a turtle with a shrunken head.
"As the saying goes, the thousand-year-old king and eighty-thousand-year-old turtle live longer than anything else. ”
Secretly thinking about entering the Raven Town Paranormal Investigation Bureau, which was already in front of him, he pushed the door in front of the director's office and entered.
Everyone in the office is already there, but the atmosphere is a little weird.
The old chief's face was flushed, and Elton, the ruling warrior sitting opposite, was also red-faced.
"You will pay for your actions. ”
With that, Elton got up and left the table, slamming the door and leaving.
"It was probably because of the previous notice that the church was unwilling to help. ”
Downing thought so until Elton's figure disappeared from view, then closed the office door again and stood behind Cross.
Cross turned back to the young man and nodded, then looked at the old chief with a happy expression.
"Without teaching the high-spirited guys, we would have solved cases faster. ”
The old director smiled awkwardly, expressed satisfaction, and then looked at Tang Ning.
"Did you get anything out of last night?"
Downing shook his head.
The old chief took a letter from a drawer and handed it over.
"I explained to the General Administration everything that happened last night in Xinghu, and I highly praise your performance, young man. ”
Tang Ning hesitated for a moment to take the letter, opened it and looked at it, only giving a verbal reward.
However, after thinking about it, it was right to obtain the Silver Star Medal, and was promoted from a first-level agent to a second-level agent, and it was impossible to have another substantial reward.
After performing the etiquette, Downing carefully put away the letter.
The old director returned to the case.
"All of the Investigative Bureau agents in the Kingdom will be dedicated to finding the Vision, including the Magic Guild, and we are no exception, Cross, and you take Stuart back to Red Leaf to preside over the search there. ”
Cross was stunned, and then came back to his senses and made a request.
"It's more helpful for us to stay here to solve the case. ”
Cross's mentality Downing can understand, a person who works hard to climb up does not want to miss this opportunity, once he leaves the center of the incident and is only responsible for the area of Red Leaf Town, it means that he is getting farther and farther away from solving the case, after all, the case that happened here is more likely to be solved here.
The old chief shook his head.
"It's not my decision, the General Directorate requires that the directors of the local investigation bureaus must be on duty. ”
The request pales in the face of the orders of the Directorate, and accommodation will not be provided even at night.
Midnight......
On the way back to Momiji Town.
The atmosphere was a bit somber, and Cross was sullen and silent along the way.
Downing rode alongside, much to his disappointment, walking in such a hurry that he didn't even have a chance to say hello to Sonya.
And there is always an uncomfortable feeling on the road, as if there are a lot of eyes staring at you in the bushes on the side of the road.
Halfway back to the journey, Cross suddenly grabbed the reins of his horse.
"The chiefs need to return to their localities, but there are no requirements for agents, Stewart, you still have a chance. ”
In fact, this was true, but without Cross there, Downing had a hunch that he would be ostracized.
Although those people's impression of themselves has changed because of the Xinghu incident, it does not mean that they are completely trusted.
Tang Ning smiled.
"I was left with no first-hand core information about the case, and it didn't help. “
Cross was not stupid, and he smiled bitterly when he heard the voiceover.
Shake the reins and pick up speed.
The dense woods on the side of the road retreated rapidly.
Downing held the reins of his horse, lowered his head, and wondered whether to tell Cross, who was eager to solve the case, about his thoughts, because Cross would never compete for his own credit.
He's a true swordsman!
A sword-wielder is often described as an aristocrat who is morally bound and has the courage to take responsibility.
But it is unclear how much benefit there will be after solving the case, and perhaps it will be even better to wait.
Thinking so, suddenly there was a "roar" in front of me.
Cross's horse swooped forward, throwing Cross off his horse.
Urgently rein the reins, but it was too late.
"Boom"
I felt a wet liquid spray on my face, and a strong smell of blood came to my nose, and then the horse that was galloping rapidly under its crotch quickly lost its center of gravity and pounced forward.
Due to the violent inertia, Downing took off the horse's head and flew out.
"Bang"
Then it landed hard.
Due to the reminder of the abnormal situation that happened to Cross who rushed in front of him, he made a move to unload the force when he landed.
He rolled on the dusty ground for a few consecutive laps, then quickly got up, pulled out the Beretta 92F from his arms, quickly opened the safety load, and aimed around.
There are no anomalies in the dense forest.
That's when I remembered Cross, who landed completely unprepared.
Quickly ran over and helped Cross up as he lay on the ground.
"Director, are you alright?"
Cross pressed one hand to one arm, covered in dirt, his face soaked with blood, and his expression was embarrassed.
"Damn, my arm is broken. ”
Helping the director to the side of the road and sitting firmly, Tang Ning quickly wiped his face with his sleeve.
"It's blood. ”
Quickly return to the middle of the road and check on the two horses that have suddenly fallen in an accident.
The heads of the two horses were missing, and blood was pouring from their necks, mixed with the dirt on the road.
"How could the heads of two horses be lost all of a sudden?"
Someone sneak attacked!
There was a loud "boom" behind him.
Following the sound, a bright fireball pierced the night sky and flew towards the reflection of a tree branch in the forest on the side of the road.
It was Cross who began to attack!
When the fireball hits the reflection, it seems to be absorbed by the reflection and disappears without a trace.
"Boom"
The reflection let out a horrible laugh and left the branch, and its body slowly descended, falling into the bushes to return to its normal position.
Apparently the owner of supernatural powers.
