Embers of Embers

Chapter 102 Xuanfeng
About ten minutes later, dark carriages filled the streets. Those people were armed with live ammunition. Everyone had a look of indifference, like the god of death coming from afar, with a cold chill, just like the winter in old Dunling. generally.
Many police officers were driven to the other side of the street. They should have been inside the cordon, but now they were driven outside the cordon. Everyone looked around and looked at those mysterious people.
There are many urban legends about Old Dunling, and those mysterious people are one of them.
Many times, people always say that there are black police officers handling mysterious cases. No one knows which department they belong to. Even if they ask the Su Alan Department, they will answer silently.
But now they really appeared in front of them, with an ominous meaning, and Chief Donas was standing outside the cordon with a cold look on his face.
He knew something about this mysterious department, but it was only limited to a general idea. He guessed that this should be regarded as Yin Erweg's secret intelligence department, but Donas didn't even know their names, nor did he know what they were. .
This group of people came here just now and drove them out with documents and permissions that Sheriff Donas couldn't understand.
Sheriff Donas wanted to continue his attack, but a young man stopped him. The man had a kind smile, but that smile was not reassuring, but instead seemed as sinister as a cunning fox.
It's hard to imagine that feeling. The whole body's instinct was fearful and trembling. When Donas came back to his senses, he was already outside the cordon, with cold sweat all over his body, and then he became angry as if he was humiliated. He wanted to settle a score with that person, but he didn't dare to cross the cordon. It was ridiculous.
As for Mr. Lorenzo Holmes, Sheriff Donas did not see him and seemed to have been kicked out, which made him feel a lot better.
……
"So you are the one who assisted me this time?"
Lorenzo sat on the chair in the room and carefully observed the blood writing. The cunning man like a fox was standing at the door with a polite look on his face.
"Yes, Mr. Lorenzo Holmes."
His voice was clear, he answered.
Turning his head, he saw a very handsome man. His behavior and even his smile were just right. Both his hair style and clothes were neatly arranged without any clutter. His cheeks were clean and tidy, just like an elegant wild cat.
For a moment Lorenzo seemed to see a few big words on the man's face.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder, mysophobia, troublesome people...
Many people have their own labels, just like the smoke bombs Lorenzo kept throwing out during his fight with Sabo.
Teacher represents teaching and educating people. This word will make people think of a strict but gentle teacher. So when you say to someone that you are a teacher, he will always think of the profession behind the word and refer to the qualities of that profession. Characteristic personality is imposed on you.
So you just indicate your profession, and you have a rough outline in the other person's mind, even if it is not the real yourself.
This is a person's inherent label. It will make it easier for others to understand themselves, but it will also make them hide their true self.
So when Lorenzo shows off his fraud methods, he likes to use labels as smoke bombs to confuse others, but he rarely sees people like this before him.
He pretty much stuck the label right in his face, which is impressive.
"Because the work responsibilities are different, Shrike is very busy. During the subsequent negotiations with the cleanup agency, I will be responsible for contacting you."
As he spoke, the man stretched out his hand, and Lorenzo nodded and shook it.
"Joy Joshua, we have met before, but the battlefield was too chaotic at that time and you might not have seen me."
"When?"
Lorenzo was a little surprised. He shouldn't forget such a person with such a personality easily.
"Operation Ender Town, but I used a code name then."
Joey coughed a few times, then his whole body changed from serious to more serious, and continued.
"The high-ranking knight of the Purge Agency, Joey Joshua, codenamed Xuanfeng."
From the moment he heard Xuanfeng, Lorenzo remembered everything. At the end of the Ende Town operation, he and Lancelot came to the battlefield together on the channel. Lorenzo had an impression of this code name.
"Then the introduction is over, do you need me to explain the situation to you?"
Lorenzo said, turning his head and looking at the scarlet writing.
"This is an... extraordinary case. There is contamination from demons here. It is very weak and should be leftover from the time of the murder."
Lorenzo thought for a while and decided to describe this case this way. The murderer was not human, or he was once a human, but now he is a hateful monster walking through this huge and densely populated old Dunling.
"Well, can we check it out first?"
Joey nodded, and after getting Lorenzo's permission, several more people walked in. They held strange instruments and continued to survey the room.
"What are they doing?"
Lorenzo was a little confused about what they were doing and asked Joey.
Joey smiled at him and then said slowly.
"Mr. Holmes, our purification agency has handled many cases related to demons over the years, and has therefore mastered a certain level of tracking capabilities. After all, we did not have demon hunters here more than ten years ago."
Listening to what he said, Lorenzo had a feeling of enlightenment. It was indeed true. Without the existence of the demon hunter, the purification mechanism could still defeat the demons. Over the years, they had developed a complete and mature internal work. The process is over.
"Those instruments are high-precision Geiger counters, which are accurate enough to distinguish the intensity of the demon's residual radiation in the area, so as to determine how long it stayed."
The index on the instrument was constantly changing, and Lorenzo felt a little strange. He began to realize the difference between the Demon Hunting Order and the Purification Agency.
The Demon Hunter Sect tends to be on the mysterious side. Everything depends on the demon hunter's own strength and the illusory god to solve everything. its utilization.
"How far can you track it?"
Lorenzo asked again.
"It's not far. There are many interfering factors in this thing, and it requires detailed investigation. This is very time-consuming. By the time we find out, the demon will probably swim to the other side of the ocean, but we have a certain ability to predict it internally."
"Precognitive ability? Like the secret blood of a witcher?"
Lorenzo had just finished praising this group of materialists, but he didn't expect another nagging thing to come out.
Within the Demon Hunting Order, most demon hunters have an early warning power called "intuition", but there is a branch of demon hunters who have taken this early warning to the limit.
It is processed by the alchemy matrix, turning the power of secret blood to the demon hunters of the branch of the angel Shang Dafeng. The power they carry can make them predict the future for a short time. It is a very mysterious branch of demon hunters. Most of them do not go out to fight, but give instructions to the other demon hunters through the Stasis Temple based on their weird precognitive abilities.
Joey smiled mysteriously, but didn't say much.
"Mr. Lorenzo, if you are willing to join the purification agency, then all your questions will be answered."
Sure enough, it was still the case, that Arthur still missed him.
"Then it's not necessary."
Lorenzo decisively refused.
