The 51st floor of Louguan Tower, the former office of a funeral agency, has now become a mess.

Crying Red Riding Hood Cleos landed gently on the balcony, and the blue flames of her Royal Boots quickly went out.

Although she, as a sanctuary magician, has long been able to soar into the sky with her wings, Red Hat has been training in flying with wings since she started with one wing. Cleos, who has more than 30 years of flying experience, naturally prefers to fly through the sky with her feet.

Azula, the first red hat, strode into the living room, and the specialists from the Jiahaoyueyuan Agency made way for her.

Several red hats followed her in and saw the affairs commissioner rummaging through boxes and drawers. They immediately shouted, "What are you doing? According to——"

"According to the Public Security Management Regulations, when the public bravely pursues wanted criminals, we have the right to search the wanted criminals' related items to obtain intelligence."

An old lady was sitting on the only red leather soft chair in the living room that had not been completely destroyed by bullets. She had a thin figure, light makeup without concealing wrinkles, dark circles under her eyes, dry thin lips, a pure red shawl, and a plain long dress... Even though she was so careless about her appearance, it did not damage the aura of this lady at all.

She closed the Gospel in her hand and said, "Now that the Red Hat is here, the scene is left to you. Children, put down the items in your hands and do not disturb the Red Hat's work."

"Aina Aldo."

Cleos said coldly, "When you attacked the funeral home, the wanted warrant had not yet been issued. Even if you can search for items related to the wanted criminal, most of the property here belongs to Annan Dolan. Your Haoyueyuan Office has committed the crime of illegal invasion and destruction of other people's property."

"Yeah."

Aina stood up slowly and stood opposite Cleos. The thin old woman raised her head and looked at the tall red-hatted elf.

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became tense, the air was full of the smell of gunpowder, the affairs commissioner and the red hats secretly unfastened the safety of their pistols, looking for the best shooting position. This devastated living room seemed to be about to usher in a second, more brutal multiplayer match.

If there is anyone who hates the firm the most, it must be Red Hat.

To Red Hat, the firm is a group of pests that often exploit loopholes in the gospel, specialize in doing some wet work that is not worthy of being shown on the table, and Red Hat is often asked to clean up the mess - for example, the orc warlock murder case a few days ago was obviously the work of the firm.

And Aina, the 'Red Cicada Lady' from the Haoyueyuan Agency, is a thorn in the side of Red Hat.

Unlike other more low-key agencies, Jia Hao Yue Yuan has placed advertisements all over the city, and with their unique loophole technology, they have committed several sensational murders in Azula, which is simply spitting in the face of Red Hat, but the Gospel cannot catch them.

The most law-abiding Red Hats couldn't find a clue to pin on these useless non-stick pans, and couldn't even get mad. It would be strange if Cleos had a good face towards them.

But 'Lady Red Cicada' Aina is also a three-winged sanctuary magician. In addition, she has mastered the Gospel loophole and has dominated Azula for decades from scratch. Although she has no title, she is respected as 'Lady'... Jiahao Yueyuan Agency is really worthy of the red hat.

In the tense confrontation, Cleos did not give in, but the mist in his eyes became thicker and thicker, as if he would cry in the next second.

Seeing this, Aina took a step back and turned to a page in the gospel book: "Here is the compensation contract between the funeral agency and Jiahao Yueyuan Agency. It has been overdue for 26 years, so I am here as a debtor to forcibly collect the money, not to illegally invade and destroy property."

Cleos took a look and his face darkened: "Lex Dolan opened the 'communication message' service of Aslan Communications Company in July 1631. Because he did not pay the service fee on time, he now owes..." Aslan Communications Company has gone bankrupt a long time ago, right? It's amazing that you can find this debt. "

"Knowing and abiding by the law is the foundation of the firm's operations." Ina said, "Excuse me."

"Wait." Cleos said, "Send the people who attacked Ash here. Red Hat needs their help in the investigation."

"It's an honor for the children." Aina did not refuse. She waved and motioned Maynard and Liman to come over. "But they are traumatized and need to go home to rest. Therefore, they cannot go back with you to investigate. If you have any questions, just ask here - unless you can produce a warrant to assist in the investigation now."

Cleos looked at the two people and found that Aina was not just trying to please her.

Maynard and Liman were both covered in hot towels. The color of Liman's throat was very different, obviously she had just received emergency treatment. But compared to their appearance, the fear deep in their eyes was the bloody scar.

They didn't even look at Cleos, their sights were focused on the vague distance. They were still immersed in their inner world and had no spare time to pay attention to the changes in reality.

"What did you... encounter?"

It was as if they were pricked by a needle, and the two of them trembled like hamsters.

They were not resisting Cleos's questioning, but were trying their best to block the monster that was trying to break out of its shell. That monster had already corroded their minds, distorted their worldview, and polluted their nerves. The bloodshot eyes were a signal of survival from their self-consciousness to the outside world.

Escaping did not save them from danger, but only made them fall into the nightmare faster.

"Ash Hiss..."

"What?"

"Ash Hiss!"

Maynard grabbed Cleos's shoulders and cried. Red Riding Hood did not push away the half-crazy young man: "Kill him, you must kill him, otherwise it will be too late, too late!"

Liman collapsed on the ground weakly, and then a fishy smell began to spread - she had urinated.

Cleos's expression remained unchanged: "...the influence of the demonic windbreaker and the twisted mask?"

"It's likely," Aina said, "but according to the introduction in the Art List, the Demon Windbreaker only prevents people from harboring malicious intent, while the Distortion Mask enhances the first impression and interferes with detection... But as you can see, there is a big gap between the description of the prop and the actual effect of use."

"Perhaps the list did not fully introduce the rewards, or perhaps... the windbreaker and mask really only have those functions, but the existence of the holder has caused a qualitative change in their power."

"I was not sure which possibility it was." The old woman said, "But since the empire has issued a wanted order, it means that the imperial capital Nabisdin already knows the correct answer."

Cleos motioned for them to take Maynard and Liman away, and said calmly, "Aina, what do you want to say?"

"Let's cooperate."

The baroness's voice was deep but not dull, mellow but not turbid. She spoke slowly but made people listen carefully: "Mermaids are neutral and will never break the rules. Miss Dolan has been running the firm for many years. How to deal with red hats is a basic professional skill in our industry... You need us, and we need you too."

"What do you want?" The disgust on Cleos's face was more obvious than his words.

"To obtain the new loopholes that Annan found, to get those outsiders, and to get involved in the Weaving Festival." Aina said: "I have no intention of hiding my intentions, just like you have never hidden your desire for rankings - but you and I both know that this is just our personal interests."

“The gospel is our common good.”

The most brutal old woman in the city spoke word by word: "Without the gospel, we are nothing. We are all just children of the gospel, and we have achieved what we have today only because of the nourishment of the gospel."

“Now that the gospel is calling upon us for help, what reason do we have not to do our part?”

"Now it's our turn to repay the good news." Red Chan stretched out his hand to Weeping Red Riding Hood: "Let's save the world together."

Cleos was silent for a moment, then suddenly called out her Gospel.

The baroness realized something: "I heard that Miss Dolan and Weeping Red Riding Hood seem to be friends..."

"She's my best friend," Cleos said. "I can't make up my mind."

Soon, Cleos heard the gospel answer.

The mist in Red Riding Hood's eyes quickly condensed into a river, sliding down her cheeks, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, she cried like she was laughing, and laughed like she was crying.

"The gospel says you need to kill your friends?"

"No."

Cleos shook his head slightly and held Aina's hand.

"The Gospel only tells me that if I can complete the Empire's wanted order, I can directly become the number one on the national red hat list."

"As my best friend." Cleos sniffed: "Annan will definitely understand me."

"Because, the Gospel says she must be considerate of me."

Azula's red and black mixed into a new color for the first time.
