From Prisoner to Si Chen..

Chapter 291 Obstruction
"Reynold, Garnold."

Ms. Teresa raised her eyes and directly named them.

"exist."

Two men, one tall and one short, responded immediately with serious expressions.

"You two immediately take action to secretly investigate the northern district of Bosvia and find out the current situation of the 'Night Monument'."

Ms. Theresa solemnly ordered.

"The local officials must have concealed important information. Without a clear understanding of the situation, it is impossible for me to take you to take risks."

"There is a branch of the Investigation Committee in Bosvia. I will get in touch with them and provide you two with certain convenience and help... Remember, your own safety is the top priority. If nothing can be done, evacuate and return immediately."

"Yes, Ms. Teresa."

The two gravediggers nodded seriously.

In fact, everyone knew very well that the reason why the person in charge, Ms. Teresa, chose to send Renault and Garnold to carry out this secret investigation mission was precisely because they were good at it.

Both of them are level 3 "Glow" level mystics, and there is no doubt about their basic combat strength. Furthermore, Raynor's essence is a "journalist", Garnold's essence is a "hunter", and he also has a meerkat companion, Robin.

It's perfect for secretly investigating information.

After Renault and Garnold took the order, Dangjie left the VIP hotel, and the others began to discuss the solution to the "Nightmare Monument".

Ji Lan actually does not have a very deep understanding of the Twelve Stars Road, which is the three major spirals and four major symbols of the "Fire Sword Road".

In fact, this is also valuable secret information, even within the committee, there is no complete record.

Through "Secret Records of the Branding Iron" and the study of mysticism during this period, Gilan only understood a little bit.

Levels 1 and 3 belong to the blank original level and have no original substance.

He only knows the twelve levels of 2nd level essence, and a small amount of information on the 4th level essence.

But this does not include the "flag bearer".

During this brief discussion, Gillan was taciturn and focused mostly on listening. After communicating with Ms. Teresa and other gravediggers, he learned about the characteristics of the "Flag Bearer".

This is the essence of the body's scepter spiral and belongs to the "Blind General" of November Sichen.

Its upper-level essence is "Private".

"Private" can give orders to himself and give his body the ability to execute them throughout. No pain can stop the extremely tenacious will and the body driven by this will.

As for the "Flag Bearer", it has been improved even more on this basis. Not only can it give orders to itself, but it can also give orders to others.

In particular, it has terrible control over the lower-level targets of its own path, and even targets lower than its own original level.

This kind of domination uses will against will, using the mind to oppress the soul, to achieve the purpose of forcibly driving the body of others.

In a sense, the "flag bearer" can be the core leader and supporter of the team. It acts as a bond to give partners strong cohesion and execution, so that the team can burst out with the energy of one plus one being greater than two.

At the same time, it can also be a T0 level "food abuser" essence.

Any spiritual mystic who is lower than level 4 will most likely be weakened or even controlled by others when encountering the "Flag Bearer".

"The target of this grave excavation mission, the 'Nightmare Monument', belongs to Barras Manuel. He was a federal spy during his lifetime and died in the slums of northern Bosvia for unknown reasons..."

Ms. Theresa made assumptions based on the basic information provided by Karl Hamann:

"The guard of the 'Nightmare in the Monument' is a projection of his obsession and residual power during his lifetime... Therefore, it is likely to have a strong obsession with the 'espionage mission' and have the power to control it."

"The 'Flag Bearer' is not completely invincible to those in lower positions. It also has a prerequisite for dominance, which is the oppression of the mind. As long as the mind is stable and tenacious enough, then the 'Flag Bearer''s biggest advantage will no longer exist."

"Gilan, who can serve as a 'guide', is still only at level 2, so it may be difficult for him to take action..."

Everyone turned to look at Jilan with worried eyes.

Although Ms. Teresa’s words are shocking, they are true.

There is no doubt about Gilan's talent as a "guide", but his level 2 strength is a flaw. It is very likely that he will be dominated by the guards as soon as he enters the "Nightmare in the Monument", and there is no way to explore the core of the nightmare.

Just when Ms. Teresa was planning to temporarily change the candidate for "Path Leader", Gillan took the initiative and said:

"Ms. Teresa, let me try this mission. I have enough confidence in my own soul. Even if I am not immune to the influence of the 'Flag Bearer' power, it shouldn't be a problem to sustain it for a period of time."

"Are you sure?" Ms. Teresa frowned slightly. "You can't joke about this kind of thing. If you make a slight mistake, you may die!"

Mgul, Kaya and Maiev all looked over.

"OK." Jilan nodded calmly.

At this time, Maiev echoed:
"I believe Mr. Gillan. During the battle at Empire Square, Level 3 Deidir Taylor used the singing of the 'Chorus' to invade Mr. Gillan's mind, but instead turned herself into a vegetative state..."

Mughul and Kaya were shocked.

However, Ms. Teresa probably knew the situation at that time and couldn’t help but said in surprise:

"That 'Sonnet' in the 'White Dove Tower' lost himself. Was it you?"

Gilan didn't reply and chose the default.

Ms. Teresa raised her eyebrows, with a look of surprise and relief on her face, and said hello repeatedly.

"Then Gilan will be the 'guide' for this mission." She said, looking at the tall and strong man, shaking her head and saying: "But there is no need for Mugur to participate, your mind is too weak."

"Yes, Ms. Teresa." Mgul scratched his head in confusion and made a baby voice that was completely inconsistent with his appearance.

...

...

Everyone is a mysterious person, and a night without sleep will not affect them at all.

In the early morning of the next day, when the first ray of dawn cast from the horizon, Renault and Garnold returned safely.

But their expressions were extremely solemn.

They brought good news and bad news.

The good news is that the investigation of the "Nightmare Monument" and the northern part of Bosvia has been completed.

That area was indeed cordoned off at all levels by the local military, and no one was allowed to get close. It was only thanks to Garnold's animal companion, the meerkat Robin, that they found a loophole and sneaked in.

But the bad news is that they found that nearly one kilometer in the northern district was filled with red mist "nightmare gas", as if this mysterious disaster had worsened and spread.

Ordinary people don't have enough spiritual knowledge to see the red mist. They only feel that the place is empty and dead. That's because all the creatures in this area, whether humans or animals, have been killed by the "Nightmare Monument", and they have all been devoured and turned into nutrients.

Moreover, the two also discovered that there were mysterious forces secretly arresting homeless people and low-income women and children. Then drive them all into the North District, forcing them into the area filled with nightmare...

Bang!
The grumpy Kaya slammed the table, stood up suddenly, her pretty face was frosty, and she said in a cold voice:
"You actually sacrificed your life to feed the 'Night Monument'! Damn it!"

"The Bosivian authorities have been infiltrated by spies and have probably learned about our arrival, so they plan to use this extreme method to catalyze the 'Nightmare Monument' and detonate the disaster in advance."

Ms. Teresa's face didn't look good either, and she said in a deep voice.

The dwarf Renault climbed onto the table, sat down on the edge, adjusted his thick glasses, and said:

"No wonder they deliberately delayed the speed of our operations in order to buy more time for the 'Nightmare Monument' to spread."

"The hostile forces are probably trying to 'destroy it if they can't get it', so they plunged Bosiva into chaos and drained the empire's energy."

"Even if Bosvia ends up being reduced to an empty city, there will be no loss to them...On the contrary, only the empire will be affected."

Hearing this, Gilan also understood that Bosylvia at the moment has almost become a hot potato.

Although the empire regained this colony in the Second Battle of Honor, it also planted many hidden dangers.

In just over ten years, there was no solution at all, leading to the current embarrassing situation.

But it is not their turn to worry about these major strategic matters. As gravediggers, their first duty is to deal with the "Nightmare Monument" as soon as possible.

"The situation is urgent and there is no time to waste."

Ms. Teresa said.

"Mughul will stay, and the rest will take action immediately. I will contact the headquarters of the Capital Committee, report the situation to the chairman of the committee, and request support."

"And join forces with the local branch in Bosvia to put pressure on the governor and ask him to send people to coordinate with you to go to the North District. If the progress on my side is unfavorable, you guys will adapt accordingly and find a way to sneak in and clean up the 'Nightmare Monument'."

"Yes, Ms. Teresa."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

But just when Jilan and his party were about to leave the hotel and start taking action.

boom! ! !
There was a deafening bang.

With the sound of broken glass, the entire hotel was shaken. The chandelier shook violently, and powdery debris continued to scatter from the ceiling.

Everyone was shocked.

The hotel staff and other guests screamed in fear.

Meerkat Robin, who was standing on Garnold's shoulder, suddenly looked in the direction above his head and squeaked anxiously.

"Leave the hotel immediately! There will be an explosion!"

Dwarf Renault also noticed something and shouted quickly.

The group of people were all elites of the empire. When Renault issued the warning, they had already jumped out at extremely fast speeds.

But as soon as they left the reception room, they heard close gunfire from the direction of the hall.

Toot toot! Beep beep beep! !
That was the sound of a semi-automatic rifle.

Accompanied by crackling and clanging noises, there were screams mixed in.

When they rushed there, they found the hall covered in blood and the bodies of many staff and guests dumped on the ground.

More than a dozen figures with bandaged faces and prison uniforms were holding black metal firearms and firing continuously.

The exposed skin of these people was a corpse-like blue-gray color, their eyes were dim and lifeless, and their mouths were sewn shut. They did not look like living people at all.

Jilan's pupils shrank.

These guys were exactly the same as the personal guards he met when he assassinated Colonel Jordan in Brak City!
"It's the Federation's biochemical modification technology..."

Ms. Teresa said coldly.

"It seems that they secretly transformed the local death row prisoners in Bosivia into monsters to hinder our actions!"
