Hearing that the victim was the second-in-command of the police station, Carl subconsciously called out.
This reminded him of the plot of "Infernal Affairs".
I just don't know whether the man in the windbreaker he saw was the murderer or an undercover agent planted by the dead deputy director in the underworld.
"Don't be too nervous. Our police station has already dispatched all officers and has also commissioned detectives to find out the truth. If nothing unexpected happens..."
Without waiting for the other party to finish, Karl quickly raised his hand to stop the other party from speaking, and then said:
"Hey! Don't say anything else. Generally speaking, if a police officer says something like this, something unexpected will happen."
Almost at the same time that Karl finished speaking, a roar suddenly came from the distance.
A group of guys driving giant mechanical spiders came speeding down a corridor in the distance, and the onlookers quickly fled the scene as if they had seen a ghost.
"The Claw Gang, an organization that is relatively high on the anti-blacklist. Rumor has it that they are related to the Knights of the Emerald Claw, and their style of operation is extremely cruel."
His eyes quickly swept over the construction machinery, and the police officer whispered to Carl about the origins of these uninvited guests.
"The Knights of the Emerald Claw? Why don't you just capture and kill them all?"
The infamous Order of the Emerald Claw is a terrorist organization that uses the power of the undead to commit crimes.
They were once the army of the Kingdom of Karrnath, but because they were obsessed with the power of the undead, they completely let themselves go after the war.
Each member of the Knights of the Emerald Claw can easily raise an army of undead, making them almost invincible in the countryside.
Sighing, the officer pointed to the badge on his chest.
"I would like to, but hearsay cannot be used as evidence. Besides, they may have some connection with the top brass of Sarn."
Thinking of the current situation of the Kingdom of Breland, Carl nodded in understanding.
In just the time it took to say these few words, the Claw Gang driving the mechanical spiders had already arrived.
"Wow! It looks like this passage is badly damaged. Alright, seal it off so that ordinary citizens don't bump into it!"
The thousands of towers are connected by various corridors. Some corridors are very wide, like a square, while others are extremely narrow and can only allow one person to pass through.
In order to maintain these tunnels, the government of Sarn allocates funds every year.
It is almost impossible for ordinary people to get these orders, so various gang forces gradually emerged as interests converge.
The person who spoke just now was a gang leader of the Claw Gang. At this moment, he was sitting on a two-meter-high and four-meter-wide mechanical spider, giving orders to his men.
These mechanical spiders are designed for high-altitude operations and tunnel repairs, and they can ensure the safety of the repairers to the greatest extent.
But now, these things have become the Claw Gang's means of transportation and their means of intimidating ordinary citizens.
"There's an attack going on here! Take your people and leave. If anything goes wrong, your boss won't be able to protect you!"
At the police station, a police officer shouted in a loud voice.
"Oh! If I don't get rid of you, I won't be able to report to my boss. Brothers, give me..."
“Buzz——”
Before the gang leader could finish his words, the roar of the chainsaw rang out again.
Hope once again went berserk and swung the chainsaw at the leg of a mechanical spider. The teeth refined by Carl immediately tore open the shell of the mechanical spider and cut off one of its legs.
This brutal scene frightened the minions controlling the mechanical spider.
Without even bothering to attack Hope, he jumped out of the cockpit.
The leader of these minions might be quite powerful, but they themselves...ha, are just a bunch of cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong.
"MD! You are all a bunch of rubbish, get out of here! I'll do it myself!"
Pushing away the younger brother beside him, the leader of this group of minions controlled the mechanical spider, as if he wanted to defeat Hope with this engineering machine.
Seeing their boss charging ahead, the minions who were originally frightened by Hope and dared not move also activated their mechanical spiders and rushed towards Hope.
Seeing this, Carl didn't say much and put his helmet back on.
"You Sarn are really free!"
After saying this to the police officer beside him, Carl reactivated the fire elemental power inside the dragon crystal and soared into the sky.
Without paying any attention to those minions, he, like Hope, rushed directly towards the little leader.
As the saying goes, to catch a thief, catch the leader first. Once we deal with the leader, the rest will be easy to deal with.
In a flash, the mechanical spider's claws suddenly shot out as Hope rushed up, stabbing at Hope like a spear.
Hope directly raised the chainsaw to block, but the power of the mechanical spider was far beyond her expectations, and she was unable to block it.
Just as the spider's chelicerae were about to pierce Hope's arm, Carl swooped down from the sky and hit the mechanical joint of the chelicerae with a hammer.
With a crisp "crack" sound, the joint was broken and the front part of the chelipeds fell to the ground.
The next second, Hope's attack fell on the mechanical spider.
The entire cab was cut open by her, and the little leader who had looked so brave just now was now so scared that his face turned pale.
Carl flew forward, grabbed the little leader, raised a hammer bigger than his head, and asked him:
"Tell me! Who asked you to come?"
As he said this, Carl mobilized his magic power and caused lightning to light up on the hammer.
"I, I won't tell you! If you have the guts, just kill me... Ah——! I'll tell you, our boss asked me to come here. He said that if I kill you, he will promote me to the third in command of the gang, and I..."
Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Carl hit the other party on the head with a hammer.
"Hey! Officer, do you hear me?"
Holding the little leader, Carl threw him to the ground as if he was dragging a dead dog.
The remaining gang members seemed to want to fight back, but the police officers were not all pushovers. After they gave them a beating with their wands, they surrendered one by one, crying and shouting.
There were a few who couldn't tell the situation from the outside and were clamoring to teach them a lesson, but soon they were beaten black and blue and could no longer speak.
Sarn's laws, while liberal, were not democratic.
No one would have any complaints about police officers beating up street thugs.
Human rights? What human rights do these rats in the gutter have? Ordinary people only dare not fight them because they have elderly parents and children at home. If it were adventurers returning to Khorvaire from Xen'drik, these guys might be grabbed by the neck and bled one by one.
There are no laws in the lower districts of Sarn.
And this corridor happens to belong to the lower area.
