Chapter 205: Reunion
12 White Street, Security Bureau Seventh Precinct.
Liya pushed the door open and entered the team's lounge, clapping her hands:
"Something happened at the Nightingale Tavern on Corson Street nearby, and the chief asked our team to go there.
Let’s take action, we talk as we go.”
The five members of the team picked up their weapons, collected ammunition, and then drove to the Nightingale Tavern in a carriage.
Cosen Street is one of the few wide streets in the Whitechapel area. It is only four intersections away from the Seventh Precinct. It only takes more than ten minutes to reach the destination by carriage through the underground passage.
In the car, Liya lit a cigarette and narrated the case:
"This morning, a patrolling police officer found the door of the Nightingale Tavern open. He sensed something was wrong and went in to investigate. He found that there was no one alive inside. There were only skeletons with obvious signs of being bitten."
“The police officers also found several octopus-like monsters and shot one dead. The area has now been cordoned off.
The director meant to let Luo Lin use her ability to find out what happened. This is the fastest way to solve the case."
Lucas said coldly: "Although Luo Lin's ability is a passive ability, it is not without cost every time. The director knows this, right?!
Look at the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and the white hair on her head; they are all the aftereffects of overusing her abilities in the past few months. She is only 22 years old this year.
If she pursues solving cases quickly every time, how long can she last?"
In the past two months, the number of supernatural cases in the Rhine city area has continued to increase, and more and more cases require the intervention of the Security Bureau.
The vast majority of teams have no vacation time and are working overtime.
"Don't say such things outside anymore."
Leah knew that what the other party said was true, but once it reached the ears of the decision makers, it would always have some negative impact.
Luo Lin smiled and waved her hands. Although her teammates' eyes made her feel uncomfortable this morning, what she said just now showed her concern.
"It's okay. My abilities don't have direct combat power, but this is actually a good way to train.
With more opportunities to practice, maybe one day I can become a third-level spirit controller, which may greatly alleviate the current situation."
There was a faint light in her eyes, that was the light of hope.
She knew that this hope was slim, but after all, people need something to support them in order to go further.
Lisa Smit became a third-level spirit master, and at the same time greatly suppressed the generation of evil spirits and evil thoughts. This matter has been publicized by the Warlock Brotherhood, and now many spirit masters have truly ignited hope in their hearts.
The carriage moved briskly and soon arrived at the passage near the crime scene.
Several members of the team got out of the car, walked onto the ground and walked for another two minutes, and saw a group of patrolmen standing at the door of the tavern.
Leah led her team forward and came in front of a patrol captain wearing a badge.
She showed her ID and said, "I am the person in charge of this case at the Security Bureau."
The gray-haired middle-aged patrol captain took the ID and looked at it, and a respectful look immediately appeared on his face:
"Sir, please follow me. Let's go check out the little monster that was shot dead first."
Although the police officers in the patrol team who were on night watch shot and killed the monster, several of them were seriously injured.
This monster must have toxins in its body. One of them had a very strong reaction and the condition improved only after he drank holy water, and he vomited a lot of dirty blood.
Now these police officers have all taken the holy water, which made the patrol captain feel distressed for a long time.
The team is only allocated a limited amount of holy water each month, and they wasted several bottles this time. The remaining holy water may not last until the end of the month. If that happens, if someone gets hurt again, the team will need to pool money to buy holy water.
Led by the patrol captain, the security bureau team saw the monster being killed in the lobby of the tavern.
This thing looks a bit like an octopus, but it is definitely not an octopus. It has eyes on its tentacles and its body is slightly rotten.
Even in death, all eyes are still open.
Lorraine circled around the monster and unexpectedly had the strange feeling that the monster's eyes were always staring at her.
Leah took a table knife and stabbed the soft-bodied monster, and found that she couldn't cut through the seemingly rotten skin without using much force.
“How many of these monsters were there when the police officers discovered them?”
"There were four in total. The other three escaped through the window after being shot."
After Leah asked some more detailed questions, she looked at her teammates and asked, "Did you find anything?"
Luo Lin shook her head gently and said calmly: "There are no strong emotions left here. I need to look somewhere else."
"Please follow me."
The patrol captain stretched out his arms, made a gesture of invitation, and said: "This is different from other cases I have encountered. There is no blood or flesh left, only a pile of bones.
From the information we got from nearby residents, we speculated that the crime happened between 1 and 2 in the morning."
Everyone checked the rooms one by one. Lorraine stopped in one of the small rooms. The patrol captain saw a slight gleam in her eyes.
There are two very narrow beds in this room. Judging from the clothes scattered around them, there should be two women living there.
Luo Lin "saw" some fragments of that time, and also saw those monsters looking back. Her eyes met with the monsters', and she actually felt a little dizzy.
Having never seen such a disgusting scene, she dry-heaved for a while and let out a long breath.
She pointed at a skeleton on the bed and said with a heavy face:
“This left a strong feeling of fear. I saw a woman’s belly bulging high, and a group of monsters drilled out of her abdominal cavity and were eaten by the woman bit by bit.
There are a lot of monsters, far more than four. I think there are at least 20 or 30 of them."
Twenty or thirty monsters emerged from human bodies, ate the mother, and ran away.
She doesn't say much, but she contains a lot of information.
"You stay here and continue investigating to see if you can find other clues. I will go back to the bureau right away and report Luo Lin's intelligence to the director."
Liya immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. What on earth had this woman come into contact with to become a breeding ground for monsters? How long would the growth cycle of these monsters last? Where would they escape to? Would other animals become tools for them to breed offspring? What about the fish in the river? If the monsters spread, the consequences would be disastrous.
After she finished her instructions, she immediately turned around and wanted to rush out of the room. There was no time to lose and she had to report the situation to the city's top leaders as soon as possible.
Lucas held her back and said, "Captain, why don't we work together? How can I let you do such rough work as driving a carriage?"
"Okay, let's go together."
The two went downstairs together and left the pub.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Liya suddenly said, "Lucas, wait a moment. I suddenly remembered that I need to explain something to Luo Lin."
She returned to the pub and ran up to the second floor.
"Captain, why are you back?" Lorraine asked in surprise.
Liya said calmly: "Come back with me."
The two walked to the stairs, and the female captain whispered to her teammates in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I don't know why, but I always feel that Lucas is not right. Let's be careful on the road."
Luo Lin opened her mouth and nodded solemnly.
In fact, she also felt that Lucas was different from before, and she thought it was an illusion because she was too tired recently.
Now that the captain has also expressed this suspicion, she feels that it must be treated seriously.
Finally, the three of them entered the underground passage, and Lucas drove the carriage back to the Security Bureau. Nothing happened during that time.
. . . .
11:00 a.m., Holy Fire Cathedral, Forging Workshop.
Clown was meditating on the Golden Light Spell, and his two pets were lying quietly beside him, with golden light shining in their eyes.
Harry rushed out of the steam elevator. Del saw him and raised his hand enthusiastically to say hello: "Hi"
"Is the Bishop here?" Harry interrupted.
Del pointed to a corner of the workshop and said, "There, Bishop."
Harry didn't listen to what the other party said next and rushed towards the simple office.
"Knock, knock, knock, Your Excellency, the Archbishop requires you to come over immediately. It is urgent."
Shit, is the sky falling?
When Crown heard the shout, he did not dare to delay and ended his visualization immediately.
Fukin flew to his shoulder, he picked up Bast and opened the door, and the two of them quickly hurried to the Archbishop's office.
The door of the room was ajar. He knocked twice and then pushed it open.
Flanders was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the room, staring into the distance.
He turned around and said, "Director Londo of the Security Bureau sent me an urgent intelligence. I have notified other bishops to send troops to assist in the investigation and handling. However, a third-level extraordinary person is needed to be on site. The City Hall and the Brotherhood cannot send experts for the time being, so I want to send you."
Then, Flanders briefly explained the situation: "We must find those monsters as soon as possible, otherwise things will become difficult when these things multiply."
Crown felt overwhelmed and asked, "How can we tell if a person is infected?"
He knew that given the density and mobility of the population in Whitechapel, this was a disaster.
Flanders patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be too nervous. The church has its own way of sorting things out. It's just a little troublesome.
Let's go, Harry will go with you, the carriage is ready in the underground passage, you just need to stay at the crime scene in Whitechapel to stabilize the morale of the troops. "
"Yes, sir."
Crown bowed and left, feeling relieved that the church had a plan.
After they arrived at the scene and entered the Nightingale Tavern, he saw several acquaintances.
Harry stepped forward and said, "Everyone, Londo from the Security Bureau has already communicated with us. Now Lord Crown is in charge of all matters here."
"Captain Leah, we meet again."
Crown greeted with a smile, and glanced around.
After entering the tavern, he immediately felt a faint sense of malice.
Your Excellency, only a third-level extraordinary person can become Your Excellency! Liya and others were stunned.
It was clear that the other party was just like them three months ago, an investigator of the Seventh Branch. Isn't the world changing too fast?
