From Prisoner to Si Chen..

Chapter 425 Pursuit
Jilan looked calm and was not panicked even though he was surrounded.

He swung the flower basket cross sword in his hand, and with a clang, it changed back into the shape of a cane.

"You seem to have the wrong person."

Jilan leaned on his cane, adjusted his top hat which was tilted due to the battle, looked at the black-armored warriors, and said lightly.

"Just now, when I was wandering around at night, I was assassinated by an unknown force. If I wasn't strong enough, I would have died at the hands of the enemy."

"That person was a senior 5th-level 'illusion'. When fighting with me, he relied on his powerful hypnotic ability to influence the residents around him and escaped."

"At the same time, the other party also has all my movements under their control... I suspect that your royal court has been infiltrated, resulting in the leakage of information from the Bremen envoys. The evildoers in the dark are trying to undermine the diplomacy between the two countries by assassinating me."

Upon hearing this, all the black-armored warriors fell silent.

Jilan glanced around, listened to the increasingly noisy noise, and turned to look in the direction of the low wall where the winter snake disappeared.

"The bodies of the two assassins I killed should still be at the entrance of this building... You'd better check them before they decompose. You will probably be able to find residual hypnotic magnetic fields on them."

"These are just your one-sided words."

The leading black-armored warrior said this, but he also listened to Jilan's advice, raised his hand and waved, and two black-armored warriors behind him quickly went away.

Apparently, he was going to check on the two headless corpses.

"Mr. Gillan Iros, please rest assured that no matter what the truth is, we will never wrongly accuse you... Just come back with us and accept the investigation."

Jilan narrowed his eyes.

He looked directly at the leading black-armored warrior and said:

"Didn't you realize that you were also affected by the power of hypnosis... When you came here just now, did you see the person who fought with me?"

"No, right?" Jilan sneered.

His hawk-like enchanting purple eyes swept across the group of black-armored warriors. It seemed that at this moment, he was not a captured prisoner, but their superior.

"You've all been fooled."

Gilan swung his cane and pointed it at the low wall.

"Before I go back with you to be investigated, I suggest you consult the chief of the temple first... If we don't catch the assassin before he gets far away, it will be extremely difficult to find him later."

"..."

The captain of the Blade Hall warriors frowned.

His intuition told him that what the young foreign minister of the Bremen Empire said was true. But the fact that the other party had killed someone was a proven fact, and for a moment, he fell into deep thought.

at this time.

The two Blade Hall warriors who had gone to check the body earlier returned and whispered to the captain.

The results were consistent with what Gillan had said.

There was indeed a hypnotic magnetic field remaining on the two corpses, and it was not something that an ordinary 4th-level Jiushi could achieve.

At the same time, the two men also brought a message.

After listening, the captain of the Blade Hall warriors confirmed in a deep voice:
"…Is this really an order from the Chief?"

"Yes, Captain."

"The Chief has been asleep for more than two years. I didn't expect him to wake up at this time..."

The black-armored captain took a deep breath.

He put away his scimitar and looked up at Gilan.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gillan. There may indeed be a misunderstanding here. We will postpone our investigation of you for now... Klein is hiding an unknown force, and it is really our fault that we have disturbed you."

"We will send someone to escort you back to the palace to rest. As for the assassin, I will personally lead the team to hunt him down."

Gillan was surprised.

He originally just intended to delay time, but he didn't expect that the temple chief would issue a new order at this time.

All in all, it's good for him.

And from what the other party just muttered, it seemed that the temple chief had not shown up in the past two years and had been in "sleeping".

Didn't wake up until tonight.

After a brief thought, Jilan shook his head and said:
"I'll go with you guys."

"Mr. Jilan?" The captain of the Blade Hall warriors frowned and said in a deep voice: "I am not questioning your ability, but because you are an important foreign guest, it is not appropriate for you to take risks in such a dangerous operation..."

"It's okay." Jilan waved his hand. "The assassin just now irritated me. Helping you capture him as soon as possible can also reduce a lot of trouble later."

Hearing this, the black-armored captain thought for a few seconds and said in a deep voice:

"In that case, okay..."

After saying that, he turned his head and raised his right fist.

"All warriors, follow me!"

A group of Blade Hall warriors immediately took action.

They are well-trained, agile and powerful, and remain quiet throughout the process, and seem quite reliable.

Jilan also followed this team of warriors, climbed over the low wall, and quickly chased after them based on the mysterious magnetic field remaining in the air.

However, just a moment later.

The group circled the residential area several times, but suddenly stopped outside a garden where potatoes and cauliflowers were planted.

"…The magnetic field disappeared."

The leading warrior captain raised his hand to ask the team to stop, then looked around, but found nothing, and his face turned grim.

Jilan used his clairvoyance and also frowned.

The slight traces of magnetic field that originally permeated the air disappeared without a trace here.

Obviously, as a senior executive of the "White Dove Tower", Dong She is an experienced behind-the-scenes promoter and he must be aware that the residual magnetic field will attract pursuers.

Therefore, he most likely eliminated the magnetic field by some means halfway through, thus hiding his traces.

"This is going to be difficult..."

The captain of the Blade Hall warriors looked solemn.

He looked out at the densely packed residential and commercial buildings around him and said in a deep voice:
"This is the most densely populated residential area in Klein, and the environment is extremely complex. Searching for that person without any clues is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Gillan did not answer.

I sighed in my heart.

The "Awake Pointer" has been damaged. If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to find the Winter Snake again.

The result of this was that the hard-line nobles of the "Iron-Blooded Royal Court" were still under his remote control, causing the diplomatic plan of this trip to come to a standstill.

Thinking of this, Jilan hated more and more those guys in the "White Dove Tower" who only knew how to make trouble behind the scenes.

Not only is he full of bad intentions, he is also very good at hiding. Even if he is caught, he is very capable of escaping.

It was like a loach hiding in the mud, stirring up the muddy water. It was agile and quite slippery.

Just as the group was hesitating.

Jilan glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly his eyes stopped.

He saw a decorative "scarecrow" standing in the flower bed.

This scarecrow seems to be a life-size doll bought by the resident for his child, but it was put here for "recycling" because of its broken hands and cracked cheeks.

It was wearing a patched, worn plaid gown, with the corner of a postcard sticking out of its chest pocket.

It was this corner that attracted Gillan's attention.

Because there is a cursive letter "M" written on it.

This reminded Gillan of Miss Menis.

Under the puzzled gazes of the Blade Hall warriors, he directly jumped over the wooden fence, stepped on the dry soil, came to the scarecrow, and reached out to take the postcard out of its pocket.

I looked down and saw, as expected, a line of beautiful blue handwriting was written on the front of the postcard:
"Mr. Gillan Iros:

Just when I was here, I happened to see a suspicious guy passing by, so I helped you record the direction he left.

Your old friend, M. "

Jilan raised his eyebrows with a strange expression.

Just happened to be here...saw it by chance?
He originally found it strange, until the appearance of this postcard, which made Gillan basically certain that Menis had probably been following him secretly and helping him.

But the other party always found some lame excuses, which made Jillian feel that this woman was trying to cover up her crime, which was quite funny.

Wow. He turned the postcard over.

In the background, the outline of the street intersection is depicted in simple strokes, and a figure wearing a windbreaker and carrying a cane is walking to the right.

"Mr. Gillan, have you found anything?"

At this time, the captain of the Blade Hall warriors outside the flower garden asked.

Gillan put the postcard away and walked over quickly.

"The man went east."

"East?" The captain asked thoughtfully. "That's Klein's landfill, with several exits leading out of the city..."

"Follow him, don't let him escape from the royal city!"

His expression changed, and he waved to call the rest of the Blade Hall warriors.

The group ran at full speed, crossed the street, and headed straight to the right.

After a while.

Gilan followed them to a fairly spacious place filled with a slight stench of decay.

The garbage here is piled up like mountains, and blackened and rotten fruits and food, tattered old clothes, shoes and socks, damaged furniture, etc. can be seen everywhere.

Just as a group of people were walking quickly through the narrow alleys between the garbage dumps, suddenly, a group of workers in work clothes and covered in stains rushed out from all directions, holding steel pipe blades.

"Stop them!"

Some workers roared with distorted faces.

Seeing this, Jilan and the warrior captain couldn't help but frown.

Because these people are just ordinary workers responsible for handling garbage, but their expressions and behaviors are not normal at all.

"Don't kill them, they are all under control."

The warrior captain obviously noticed something and quickly gave an instruction.

Immediately, a group of black-armored warriors dispersed and stopped the group of workers who were rushing in.

With their extraordinary physique and skills, they were able to disarm the workers with a single blow and knock them unconscious.

With a few crackling sounds, the workers fell to the ground one after another.

Jilan looked into the distance and saw a figure in the distance quickly disappearing behind the garbage dump.

"I found it, follow me!"

He said in a deep voice and stepped on the ground.

Bang!
A cloud of dust rose from the ground, and Jilan's figure had already left a blurry trail and rushed out.

The warrior captain reacted quickly and followed closely behind.

The group of people kept leaping on the garbage dump, spanning more than ten meters at a time.

With the wide view from his high vantage point, Jilan quickly discovered the winter snake running away in the night.

Without saying a word, he took out his alchemical revolver and pulled the trigger at the figure in the windbreaker about seventy or eighty meters away.

Bang bang bang! !

After several shots, fierce firepower burst out from the muzzle, creating a series of diffuse air circles.

But the winter snake didn't even turn its head, but seemed to have eyes on the back of its head, and dodged left and right as if it had predicted the trajectory of the bullet.

There were a few muffled "puff, puff" sounds.

The bullets landed on the garbage heap, creating huge holes. All kinds of filth and debris flew everywhere and landed on the ground with a crash.

Jilan emptied the magazine, but Dongshe did not slow down. He knew that he could not stop the enemy with just the firepower of his revolver.

A senior 5th-order Jiushi, who is also a strong person with a focus on spiritual consciousness, has such strong spiritual knowledge that he can easily capture the trajectory of a ballistic missile.

So he chased after him while putting away his revolver.

"Wang Lin!" Ji Lan shouted in a deep voice.

boom--

Suddenly, a terrifying aura descended.

This made the Blade Hall warriors look sideways with horror on their faces.

Suddenly, a huge figure about three meters tall appeared!
His body is covered with skeleton armor, he wears a green flame crown on his head, a scarlet translucent cloak on his shoulders, and he holds a terrifying giant hammer in his hand.

At the same time, he was riding a huge white sheep with its hooves stepping on green fire and its mouth grinning fiercely!
Boom! !
The Sheep Rider carried the giant hammer on his shoulder and suddenly leaped into the air, as if ignoring gravity, spanning dozens of meters and slamming it down to the ground.

Snap!

Pah! !
The caracal spread out its four legs and ran wildly at an extremely fast speed!

In just a few breaths, he caught up with the fleeing man in the windbreaker.

"Huh?!" Dongshe turned his head suddenly, his pupils shrinking. "Damn! What is this?!"

Seeing the square-headed stone hammer, which was half the size of his body, smashing down like a meteorite, making a terrifying howl, Dong She's face changed drastically.

He swung his cane, and the green crystal on the top emitted light, sweeping him to the side.

Boom! ! !

The stone hammer hit the ground, like an explosion!
A huge pit appeared, splashing dust and sand several meters high, and the garbage around it was scattered as if swept away by the strong wind.

"Die to me!!"

The Mad King's insane face showed an extremely cruel laugh and he roared.

The barracuda bent its hind legs and burst out with great force and speed, causing Jilan to turn 90 degrees and fly over the winter snake's head.

A huge shadow, accompanied by a thrilling sense of oppression, enveloped the winter snake.

"roll--"

Dongshe sensed the deadly danger, veins on his forehead bulged, and he shouted in a deep voice.

He held the staff in both hands and used all his strength to unleash his energy.

A flash of green light illuminated the entire landfill.

Boom! !

Jilan smashed down, shattering the several-meter-high garbage pile. Dongshe flew backwards, and the green light barrier that enveloped him shattered instantly.

"Puff——" Dong Snake vomited blood, his face full of horror.

next second.

Whoosh! !

His figure became blurred, and then dozens or even hundreds of clones burst out and dispersed in all directions.

Even the warriors from the Blade Hall who had rushed over were unable to tell which figure to chase.

"You are Gillan Iros?!"

Winter Snake's voice came from all directions, as if a hundred people were speaking in unison.

His tone was full of disbelief.

"How can a 4th-level Jiushi have such strength?! Is this the new essence that you created on your own?!"

"Equivalent exchange...equivalent exchange!"

"You can obtain the power of a higher level, but you must have paid an unimaginable price!"

Gillan ignored him.

The cross sword bonfire was reflected in the Mad King's eyes.

The flames burned more and more fiercely, even igniting the eyes.

He then saw through the "illusion" created by the winter snake. He saw hundreds of clones disappear from Jilan's sight, leaving only one exit heading west.

pat!

The beast kicked its legs and flew across the sky carrying Jilan.

“Quench!!”

Gilan brought down his hammer.
