Chapter 142: Mercy for the Witch (Please subscribe, please vote)
This night is destined to be extremely long!
What Luo Yi didn't expect was that the first people to arrive were a group of police officers armed with batons, shields and long knives.
The leader was the former Captain Weiner, now the police chief of the Pro District Public Security Management Office.
Although the city guards have been transformed into the police, there have been few personnel changes and there are still many familiar faces.
However, the entire police department has a brand new look.
First, the highest official was replaced, and the orders from above were enforced;
In addition, the salary is allocated by the Executive Office alone, so there will be no arrears, and there are also various benefits.
Therefore, the police department is now able to enforce its orders.
At Miller's strong request, they even launched a series of anti-gang activities to combat underground gangs. Back and forth, round after round, the public security in Oakland has been significantly improved.
This is also one of the reasons why Auckland can attract a large number of foreign population.
For ordinary people, making a living is important, and a safe environment is even more important.
This group of police officers reacted extremely quickly. Although they were timid and didn't dare to come forward when they arrived, they still came.
Luo Yi showed up and exchanged a few words with Weber before he regained his courage.
Then, he immediately organized people to block off the surroundings and preserve the scene as much as possible.
Soon after, Mrs. Linda and Douglas Hill arrived.
The interests of these two people are closely linked to Luo Yi. It is no exaggeration to say that they prosper together and suffer together.
So, they all behaved very positively.
Douglas directly used a flying technique, the Wind Walk Technique, spread out a pair of light blue wings, and with a flap of his wings, he flew over.
Mrs. Linda and Gary Mills arrived on a magic carpet.
The two were fully armed. Gary Mills even had his sniper rifle on his back, and the magic patterns on the gold and silver guns on his waist were lit up.
Mrs. Linda was even more exaggerated. She had rings on all ten fingers, and her wrists, chest, and ears were all covered with various ornaments.
At first glance, this is just a gorgeous lady in gorgeous attire, but if you possess magical powers and sense it a little, you will be dazzled by the surging magical powers.
Before he got close, Gary Mills jumped directly off the magic carpet. While his body was still in mid-air, he already held the gold and silver guns in his hands.
In this very short period of time, Mrs. Linda blessed him with three kinds of magic to protect his safety.
"Loyi, Loyi, where's the enemy? Let me blow his head off."
"I'm already dead. If I were to come after you, I'd probably lose my life."
"Haha, I know you, kid. If you can't beat me, I don't think I can win even if I go."
"Who are you showing off to by acting like this?"
"Isn't this something I have to show off?"
The two of them really knew each other, and Gary Mills was not as taciturn as Oliveira.
After getting to know him, he became very talkative and joked without restraint.
The bickering between the two men eased the tense atmosphere until Mrs. Linda landed and Loy hurried forward.
"Madam, please help me investigate. I hope to find out the identity and origin of the enemy as much as possible!"
Mrs. Linda nodded slightly and asked, "Can you tell me what happened?"
"sure!"
Luo Yi quickly recounted the incident briefly, and he had actually done something similar before.
A few minutes later, Mrs. Linda also walked into the battlefield, where Douglas Hill was wandering around. When the two met, although they did not speak, they nodded slightly as a greeting.
Roy and Gary Mills stood aside.
Gary Mills wanted to speak several times, but when he saw Roy's frown, he stopped talking.
In the magic world, these two are the most powerful people Luo Yi knows, so he can only hope that these two will bring him some good news.
He didn't have to wait long. After about ten minutes, Mrs. Linda came back first.
There was a huge book in her hand. The book was extremely large and thick. When it was opened, the patterns and texts on it were glowing with magical light, making it look like it was alive.
When ordinary people see it, they can only see a mess. Even if they force themselves to look at it, they will feel dizzy and disoriented.
This is obviously also a defensive measure, which fully demonstrates the arrogant pride of the classical magicians.
They are very picky.
Mrs. Linda waved her hand, and the book automatically turned the pages until one of the pages showed a pattern and text.
After a slight pause, she handed it over and said, "Why don't you take a look at it yourself?"
Luo Yi didn't act pretentiously. He took it and poured magic power into it. The words on it immediately became clear.
This is a record about the Abyss Nightmare, which is much more comprehensive than the Deep Blue database. Luo Yi almost read ten lines at a glance and gained a deeper understanding of the Abyss Nightmare.
The Abyss Incubus, as the name suggests, is a strange demon born from the abyss. It is somewhat similar to a shadow creature and has no entity.
His most powerful ability is called 'Dream Creation', which means creating dreams, then devouring dreams, and then devouring souls.
And they, like almost all species in the abyss, strengthen themselves by devouring souls.
This method can be considered cunning, but in the abyss, nightmares are weak and vulnerable.
The reason is simple. Almost all demons are born in the abyss. Their minds are filled with whispers of the abyss, and each one of them walks on the edge of madness and killing.
The dreams created by the Nightmare of the Abyss are simply not enough in front of this group of demons.
On the contrary, a violent demon can directly kill the Abyss Nightmare, even a small demon.
Therefore, in the abyss, although the nightmare is not at the bottom, it is not much better.
Their only purpose is to be raised by some demon lords and create good dreams for them.
Therefore, for a long time, the nightmare's situation in the abyss was precarious. It was considered an endangered species, on the verge of extinction.
But when the mages from the main material plane captured this nightmare, everything changed.
Intelligent creatures are mostly rational and law-abiding. They have their own set of moral ethics and the cultural system they have built also makes them rational.
In other words, they are not crazy.
Then, the nightmares discovered that they could be almost infinitely powerful here.
Even those legendary warriors or powerful mages, if they are not mentally prepared and are dragged into a dream, may be killed by the nightmare.
Based on this point, there is a small but extremely powerful faction among the demon wizards, named: Nightmare Messenger!
There is only one requirement for this profession: successfully summon an Abyss Nightmare and sign a master-distinguished contract.
It doesn’t matter whether you recognize the nightmare as your master or the nightmare recognizes you as its master.
For a long time, the Nightmare Messenger became the nightmare of the powerful people on the entire continent. They used treacherous means to kill many people.
There are even cases where the Abyss Nightmares grow to the point where the dreams they create are enough to cover the entire city, trapping countless people in nightmares, causing them to die miserably and eventually have their souls devoured.
But being too high-profile is not a good thing. After assassinating many believers and priests in succession, they successfully attracted the attention of the gods.
And then, nothing happened!
No matter how cunning the methods of these nightmare messengers are, their bodies are still fragile. Faced with the carpet-style inspection and cleansing, they will die a miserable death if their whereabouts are exposed.
Furthermore, faced with the ability to "create dreams", intelligent creatures must demonstrate their strongest abilities.
That is to observe, understand, imitate, and improve...
Then, a mage profession called 'Dream Walker' was born.
This kind of dream walker also has the ability to create and travel through dreams, and even has means of counterattack, making it a natural nemesis of the Abyss Nightmare Demon.
At this point, the good days of the Nightmare Messenger came to an end, and eventually, he gradually disappeared from the continent.
It is worth mentioning that the records clearly state that dreams are chaotic, and even the Abyss Nightmare needs spell materials to locate it.
Or it could be the target's body tissue, such as skin, blood, hair, nails, etc.
Or it could be something close to the body, such as clothing that has been worn for a long time and is contaminated with a strong enough scent.
Or it is possible to lock onto the target by tracing the same bloodline and then use the dream-making technique.
When Roy got the information, he almost immediately sent Mira Greenman, who had just arrived, back and asked her to look for any clothes or something that Roy had discarded.
But these are nothing. The most important thing is that the nightmare messenger is almost extinct, but what about this old woman?
Luo Yi looked at Linda and asked, "Madam, do you know that this kind of inherited power still exists today?"
Linda frowned, thought for a while, and then shook her head: "I haven't heard of it!"
"I know something about this."
A voice sounded, and it was Douglas Hill who walked over. He was also wearing luxurious magical equipment and armed himself to the teeth.
But at this moment, his expression was somewhat solemn.
Luo Yi asked after hearing this: "What do you know?"
Douglas nodded slowly and said, "I've heard people mention it occasionally."
"You should know that inheritance is not something that can be easily cut off.
Therefore, after the nightmare messengers were almost completely wiped out, the atmosphere and enthusiasm for targeting them on the continent gradually subsided."
"Then, within a hundred years, someone inherited the legacy."
"But this time, they are not so stupid. Instead, they practice in secret and form a secret society."
"They call themselves 'witches.' Although they create dreams and kill people, they claim to be able to cause people to die painlessly and to have compassion."
"So, they were given the name 'Witches of Mercy'."
"Witch of Mercy?"
Luo Yi's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his eyes were sharp, but Douglas said again: "Actually, even if you find it, it's useless!"
"Why?"
"Because people always need to eat, and that means they need Jintir. And now the Witch of Mercy has transformed into a deeply hidden assassin organization."
Douglas Hill paused and continued, "In other words, even if you find them, you may not be able to find someone to hire them."
I have to admit that when I write books, I always like to write about dreaming...
