This brave man is a scumbag

Chapter 230 Fuel
After walking through dozens of blues-like bars, large and small, Gerald obtained four crucial clues.

The first one was learned from a farmer in a blues bar.It is rumored that when the Jordan Tower exploded, the farmer saw many bats gathering in a cave in the southeast on the way to escape.According to him, the cave is not big, and there are no animals entrenched, it is just an ordinary cave.

The second intelligence is from a refugee from a factory to the west.He said that on the same day as the explosion, there seemed to be a woman screaming in the slums on the west side of the city, and the screaming lasted for a whole day. abandoned house.

The third piece of information came from a farmer in the south. This was not what he saw with his own eyes, but his neighbors saw the moment when the New York Tower exploded. The fire rose in a farm in the south, but it quickly dissipated.Later, I asked other people, and they all said that they had never seen the fire.

The fourth piece of information was an employee of a factory. He said that the boss of their factory went crazy on the eve of the explosion, dismissed all the employees desperately, and then jumped from the sixth floor.It is said that the boss cried bitterly before he died, and roared loudly, "I can't rest in peace", which is very strange.

"Come on, let's test you."

On the bell tower, Gerost overlooking the entire Jordan stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, and said to Roja, who was thinking deeply: "You can sort these four pieces of information for me in order of importance, and we will follow what you said. Sequential investigation."

"me?"

Roja froze for a moment, but the gentle touch brought by the Order of the Templars on his chest brought him back to his senses, reminding him that this is no longer the days when he and his teacher hunted and killed grotesques.Now he is a Templar and a full-fledged soldier.

"The fourth intelligence, that is, the boss of the factory, we should be the first to investigate."

After hearing Roja's answer, Gerost had an imperceptible smile on his face.He looked at Roja and asked, "What's the reason?"

"The scream of the second woman and the flames of the third farm only lasted for a short time, and there were no real objects, only witnesses' one-sided statements. The phenomenon of the first bat gathering will not recede soon, and there is enough time to collect evidence .”

Without thinking, Roja replied: "There will be many processes for the fourth intelligence to occur. At the same time, we have official power to mobilize the people and things that the factory owner comes into contact with, and can quickly analyze the cause of death."

"uh-huh."

Gerost shrugged and said meaningfully, "What else?"

"intuition."

Roja tapped his temple, with a rare smile on his face, "Just like what you taught me back then, in dealing with weirdness, sometimes intuition is more important."

"Ha ha ha ha."

After hearing the answer he wanted, Gerost laughed without hesitation.He patted Roja on the shoulder, and said with emotion: "Okay, it really wasn't wrong to throw you at Christine back then."

"The grotesques are called grotesques because they never play their cards according to common sense. What we can do..."

Pointing to his own head, Gerald had a cold smile on his face. If the grotesque is a disaster for mankind, Gerald is the disaster of the grotesque.

"Trust your gut."

*************************
The Hamm factory is a small factory that produces daily necessities. The factory is not big and there are not many people. There are about a hundred workers including the workers.After the boss went crazy and jumped off the building, the Hamm factory was completely shut down and locked down. The original workers were sent home. Some migrant workers could only sleep on the street or find a blues-like bar for a while.

In front of the gate of the Hamm factory, a blockade line has completely blocked the place.A few soldiers by the gate leaned against the wall and gagged, bored in every possible way.One of the sharp-eyed soldiers spotted the two Gerosters walking towards here not far away. When he saw the shining Templar Medal on Roja's chest, he quickly poked his teammates twice to signal They stood up quickly.

"salute!"

When the two of Roja walked to the blockade, several soldiers immediately stood up straight and saluted.Roja looked at the faces of the group of people and the nameplates on their chests, and then asked: "The captain is out, which team are you in? What are you in charge of?"

"Report, we are the third patrol team."

The captain of the soldier took a step forward and reported to Royahui: "The third patrol team is responsible for the blockade of the Ham factory to prevent others from entering the sabotage scene, and the answer is over."

"Did anyone come in before us?"

After hearing the question, the captain thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Before you arrived, only the emergency response team had dealt with the crime scene, and the body was transported to the No. [-] Police Station for further analysis, and the answer is over."

"Let us pass."

Facing Roja's request, the captain thought for a while, and then replied loudly: "Sorry, the order we got is that no one is allowed to enter the scene of the crime, unless there is an order from the Grand Consul..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Gerost took out a medal from his pocket and showed it. The logo of the Grand Consul was engraved on it.

"You two please."

Not talking nonsense, and not asking for trouble to verify the consul medal in front of him, the captain directly turned sideways to signal his subordinates to let him go, and then made a gesture of please.

"Let's go."

Gerost took back the medal, Roja glanced at him, said nothing, and followed Gerost into the factory.

The Hamm factory is a pretty standard manufacturing plant with six floors.The first to third floors are processing areas, and the remaining floors are staff dormitories and office areas.There are still six people staying in the current staff dormitory, because they are infected with the plague and are not allowed to leave here.

"Is it them?"

Pushing open the door of the staff dormitory, six isolation rooms poured by civil engineering masters appeared in front of the two of them.In fact, it is not so much an isolation room as a narrow partition.Six partitions separate the six people in different small rooms. There is an opening on the stone door of the partition, and there is a mechanism on it, so that meals can be passed from here to inside in one direction.

"Yes."

The accompanying captain nodded. He glanced at the six people who were quarantined but more like jailed. His tone was neither happy nor sad, "After they were dismissed, they wanted to go back to the factory to steal some things and sell them. On the way, they met two The confirmed patients were infected. Fortunately, we found it early, otherwise they would have gone to other places to contaminate other people.”

For these six people, these soldiers are actually quite annoying.If it weren't for these six people, they wouldn't have been sent here by their superiors to block them.In fact, the boss's suicide is not taken seriously. There are many people who are overwhelmed by the plague and commit suicide. It's just that the boss may be a little crazy.What really makes this place blocked are these six troublesome characters.

They committed minor crimes, but they must be judged.But now they are infected with the plague, and law enforcement officers are not allowed to take them to the police station for interrogation according to the law.Therefore, the British-South government can only build this narrow and cramped "isolation room" on the spot, and temporarily detain them in this place.

"My lord, we are really not thieves, we just want to get our money back..."

One of the skinny men slapped the stone door and said sadly: "Ham is a beast. Before he died, he gave all the compensation he should have given us to his family. The box he gave us was only stones and gravel. .Without this money, we will not be able to support the end of the plague, my lord, we are not thieves..."

"Sir, there is no evidence now..."

Facing Roja's gaze, the captain bit the bullet and explained: "According to the law, if there is no evidence to prove that they have not committed a crime, they must wait for the detective or survey team to find evidence, and they must be detained during this period."

"Where are the detectives and scouts?"

Facing Roja's inquiry, the captain gave a wry smile and said, "Because of the plague, most detectives refused to serve the government. Now there are many cases and problems left in the city, and the Jordanian investigation team can't handle it at all."

"Ah."

At this moment, Gerost sneered, stepped forward, waved his right hand, and in the blink of an eye, a silver coin was embedded in the thick stone wall.This hand directly suppressed the captain on the side. After all, breaking the stone wall is very simple, but breaking the stone wall with a soft silver coin requires very delicate strength, and ordinary people cannot do it.

"The plague is only in its infancy, and normal purification can relieve it."

Looking at the part of the silver coin that was dyed black, Geroster made a judgment immediately.Under the astonished gaze of the others, he took out a bottle containing a blue liquid, threw it to the captain beside him, and then said to him, "Divide this bottle of water into six parts and give them to drink."

"Ah, this..."

The captain looked at Roja who was hesitant, Roja nodded and said lightly: "Listen to him."

"clear."

Nodding his head, the captain immediately took the sterilized cup beside him, poured the blue potion into the cup six times, and handed it to the six people in the isolation room with the slate mechanism.

"My lord... what is this?"

Hearing the words in the isolation room, the captain frowned, and was about to order impatiently to go down, when Gerost stopped him and said to the isolation room:

"This is an aid item from the Jasmine Foundation. It is blessed holy water that can relieve your plague. You drink it now, and I will ask you some questions on behalf of the government later. As long as you answer truthfully, you can leave here gone."

"My lord, is what you said true?"

Facing the doubtful voice, Gerost was not annoyed at all, but calmly replied: "You should have heard the reputation of the Molly Foundation, we have never bothered to deceive anyone."

After hearing the name of the Molly Foundation, these people hesitated for a moment before choosing to believe it.Anyway, they have nothing more to lose. If the officials outside did not lie, they might be freed from this cage.These six people picked up the cups and drank all the potions straight down.

"Look carefully, if there is a situation, use this to contact me, let's go to investigate the scene first."

Quietly, Gerost began to lead the action.He threw a card to the captain, and then went downstairs with Roja to the place where Hamm died.

The factory has a yard, and the factory owner Hamm also died in this yard.It can be seen that the owner of this factory has no taste, and all the trees in the yard are a bunch of strange shapes.The place where Hamm died was a stone road, and the blood left by the obese corpse soaked into the stone, leaving a dark red mark.

There is no investigation and no reasoning, those are the methods of detectives.Facing the scene before him, Gerost just took out a bell from his waist, and then took out a bag of powder and sprinkled it on the place where Hamm died. Soon, the powder was dyed bright red.

Jingle bell~~
A crisp and pleasant voice sounded, and slowly, blue light began to gather on the powder sprinkled on the ground.The blue light gradually converges into an illusory image, like ripples on the water, making it difficult to see the true face.

The teacher is much more proficient in summoning spirits than I am.

Looking at everything in front of him, Roja sighed secretly in his heart.Gerost's skill is called spirit summoning. It is a powder developed with the help of soul wood produced in the twilight forest, and a special brass bell. It can call out the broken soul of the dead left at the place of death, and use it to inquire intelligence.

At this time, Gerost held the bell in his right hand, and took out powder with his left hand and sprinkled it on the soul body.Soon, Ham's broken soul made a palpitating sound, and he slowly opened his "eyes", his blue face was full of confusion.

"Ham, who killed you?"

Gerost, who was at the god-given level, omitted the steps of "calming, comforting, and condensing the soul" and started to ask questions directly.After hearing Gerost's voice, Hamm struggled for a moment, then "sat" down in a daze, and said slowly:
"I...killed myself."

"why?"

After hearing this question, Ham's spirit body covered his head, as if an inexplicable force was tearing his brain.But under Gerost's power, Ham finally let go of his hand and said in a daze:
"Because the messenger who saved us is dead, we will never be able to rest in peace."

"messenger?"

Gerost frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is the messenger you speak of?"

"He is...he is the original owner of this world...he wants to put us back in the books."

"Why put you back in the book?"

When Gerost asked this question, Hamm's expression changed.He was no longer in a daze, and he was no longer dazed. At this moment, Ham's spiritual body suddenly smiled. He grinned, looked at Gerost, laughed sickly and mocked:
"You live in the reality woven by the mad god, trying to pry into the truth?"

"You are fuel, you are just fuel! You don't know anything, you don't understand anything! The messenger is dead, we can't get into the book! We will all be thrown into this furnace as firewood and ignite it!! "

"We are just fuel!"
