Chapter 7 Team
In the dark night of Wokkan Town, a circle of policemen gathered at the door of the police station. They all looked at the corpse lying on the ground in front of them with uneasiness. The frightened policeman on guard was telling his companions around him about the horrifying scene that had just happened in vivid detail. A faint panic was spreading among the crowd.
At the corner of the street quite a distance away from the police station, Dorothy was looking at the situation at the entrance of the police station in the distance, then turned and left silently.
Everything has been arranged, and now all we have to do is wait for their respective actions.
From the letter obtained from Edrick, Dorothy learned the contact information of the mysterious organization's dispatcher in Wolkan. According to their agreement in the letter, after Edrick succeeded, he only needed to put Dorothy's photo into the mailbox at 24 North Street in Wolkan, and then the mysterious organization's dispatcher in Wolkan would wait for Edrick in the woods west of Wolkan the next night as agreed.
At that time, they will cheat each other of the people and the goods. The mysterious organization will get Dorothy, and Edrick will get the so-called reward that will allow him to enter the so-called "extraordinary realm".
And now, Edric is dead, but no one knows the news except Dorothy. Even the local people in Wokkan have not yet discovered the death of the local tyrant, let alone the outsiders sent by the mysterious organization.
Taking advantage of this, Dorothy, who was originally the kidnapped target, took a photo of herself and sent it to the designated location. The mysterious organization dispatcher who received Dorothy's photo will regard it as a signal that Edrick has succeeded, and he will wait for the transaction at the designated location tomorrow night.
To make sure that her actions were correct, Dorothy walked around Vaucan several times during the day, asking around for news about Edric and making sure that no one knew that he had an accident.
In order to make sure that the photo studio was not the base of those dispatched personnel and avoid falling into a trap, Dorothy specifically investigated the time when the photo studio was opened in Waukan, because from the letter it can be learned that the mysterious organization had no influence in Waukan before contacting Edrick, so a photo studio that has been open for nearly ten years cannot be related to that organization.
Even when she was delivering the letter, Dorothy asked someone else to do it for her just in case.
Until now, Dorothy had taken every step carefully.
After obtaining the photos in the mailbox, the members of the organization hiding in Wokkan will be lured out and go to the "trading location" in the woods west of Wokkan tomorrow night.
Of course, this did not mean that Dorothy wanted to confront the enemy head-on. The number of the enemy was unknown, and they might have some extraordinary abilities. It would be too dangerous for a thirteen-year-old girl like herself to deal with them alone, even if she brought two zombies and set some traps.
Dorothy's response to this is that professional matters should be handled by professionals.
She thought of the two organizations mentioned in the letters between Edrick and the mysterious organization, the Security Bureau and the Church...
Judging from the content of the letter, the mysterious organization is obviously wary of the Security Bureau and the Church, and may even be in a hostile relationship with them!
The enemy of my enemy is my ally. Since that mysterious organization is afraid of the Hidden Security Bureau and the Church, I can find a way to leak key intelligence to them and drive away the wolves and swallow the tigers...
In the choice between the church and the Security Bureau, she chose the Security Bureau because those guys mentioned in the letter before that there was a hunting team of the Security Bureau near Vukan...
The next difficulty was how to contact this so-called Security Bureau. In Dorothy's original memory, she had never heard of an organization called the Security Bureau, let alone knew the contact information.
Dorothy judged that judging from the name, the Security Bureau was a government department, and it should be an agency under the authority of the state that specializes in handling extraordinary events. As long as it was a government agency, it would be easy to deal with.
If I can't contact the Security Bureau, then other government agencies should have corresponding channels.
Therefore, Dorothy forged a reply letter from a mysterious organization to Edrick, wrote all the key information in it, and had a corpse take it to "die" in front of the police station.
Then, Dorothy only needs to wait for the police in Vukan to notify the Security Bureau, and then wait for the so-called hunter team to find the letter on the corpse...
"Now we just have to wait until tomorrow night..."
Walking on the deserted street, Dorothy looked at the bright moon in the sky and talked to herself.
"Then, we still need some final preparations..."
Quickening her pace, Dorothy's figure disappeared into the darkness. She didn't seem to be just a mere spectator of tomorrow's show.
…
As the night deepened, the lights on Wokkan Street gradually decreased. Slowly, there were almost no flickering lights except for the sparse street lamps, and an even thicker darkness enveloped the streets of Wokkan.
At the police station in Walkan, the lights were still flickering, but unlike before, there was no policeman at the door of the police station.
The lifeless corpse fell on the cold ground, with a strange smile frozen on his face. Next to the corpse, there were two figures standing, but they were not policemen.
In the cold wind of the night, figures in uniform stood in front of the police station. They were all wearing black double-breasted dress suits, with tight upper bodies, standing collars, and the hems of their clothes reaching to their knees. They all wore gloves on their hands, and everyone wore a black top hat on their heads. Under the top hats, their faces were covered with lifeless iron masks that neither cried nor laughed.
These people dressed in black surrounded the corpse and examined it carefully.
At this time, inside the police station, all the policemen had disappeared. In the sheriff's office, a figure was sitting in the seat that originally belonged to the sheriff.
This figure was wearing the same attire as the man in black standing at the door. His feet were resting on the sheriff's desk, his mask was thrown on top of a cabinet, his face was covered by a hat, and he looked like he was taking a rest.
On the other side of the sheriff's office, another figure stood in front of a map depicting Walkan. She was also wearing the same black kimono. Her tight upper body showed obvious curves at the chest and waist, indicating that she was a woman.
The female figure in black scanned the map of the police station and occasionally looked through the files in the police station, as if she was exploring and thinking. Suddenly, she seemed to have discovered something and turned her head to look at her colleague sitting in the position of police chief.
"Hey, Greg, here's..."
When the female figure in black saw the appearance of the man sitting in the sheriff's seat, she was startled and suddenly raised her voice and spoke sternly.
"Captain Gregorios! It's time to work!"
The man who was originally sleeping quietly was startled by the high volume of the female person in black. His whole body shook and the hat on his face fell to the ground.
"Um... I say, Elena, keep your voice down, we are investigating a case..."
The startled man quickly put his feet down from the table, then immediately picked up his hat from the ground and put it back on his head.
The man sitting in the sheriff's seat at this time was a young man named Gregor. He had short chestnut hair, brown eyes, a high nose, deep eyes, and a handsome face. Although there was still a sense of weariness lingering on his expression, it could not conceal the determination emanating from his brows.
"You still remember that you are investigating a case. I see that you are about to fall asleep. This state is too bad, Captain..."
Standing in front of the desk, the woman named Elena, still wearing the mask, said unhappily, and Gregor scratched his head helplessly.
"Ah... there's nothing I can do about it... I was supposed to go back to Igwinter tomorrow, but suddenly I encountered this case and need to work overtime. Now I can't help but feel a little unhappy. I have other important things to do when I return..."
Gregor complained. Listening to his complaints, Elena paused slightly and then spoke.
"Yeah... I almost forgot. Captain Gregor's sister is on the way. She will arrive in Igwinter soon. If you, as her brother, are not here, there will be no one to pick her up..."
