From Prisoner to Si Chen..

Chapter 476 Chaos
Gillan stood on the side of the road outside of Cockburn, looking at the increasing number of red-skinned devils hovering between the buildings in the distance, his face gloomy.

The sky above the city seemed to be shrouded in a red mist.

The imperial soldier who was in charge of driving sat upright in the driver's seat, looking straight ahead and asking no questions, quietly waiting for his superior's instructions.

Gilan stared into the distance, took out the alchemy hotline from his pocket with an expressionless face, and called directly to the headquarters of the mysterious investigation committee.

Almost as soon as I called, the call was connected.

It seems Maiev carries the Committee's hotline with her, always ready to answer it.

"Master Gilan, this is Maiev."

"Maiev, there was an accident in Qyburn City."

Jilan said solemnly.

"The Eclipse Society has taken action. Through dreams, they have opened the gate between the mortal world and hell and released the army of demons... Right now, the entire city of Coburn is occupied by demons and is in chaos."

"?!"

Maiev exclaimed on the other end of the phone.

Obviously she also knew how serious the matter was.

At this moment, a sound of breaking air was heard above Jilan's head.

A red-skinned devil with a grim smile flapped its bat wings and descended from the sky with a scimitar in hand. It seemed to regard Jilan as its prey and planned to invade his body, toy with him until he died, and then devour his soul.

However, Jilan didn't even raise his eyelids and waved his hand.

Bang! !

A silver arc of electricity burst out, accompanied by a muffled sound, and the attacking devil instantly decomposed and reconstructed into a glass bead, which Jilan put into his pocket.

He turned around and spoke calmly into the microphone:
"Maiwei, pass on my order. Have the committee send personnel immediately. Also arrange for four teams from the Mechanical Union, the Chamber of Commerce, the Church of the Atonement, and the Church of the Holy Mother to set off immediately and rush to Coburn City for support."

"Yes, sir!" Maiev replied solemnly.

Click.

After the hotline was hung up, Gilan told the armored vehicle driver to return to the military area on his own, and he flashed and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

...

...

Gillan was heading towards the downtown area of ​​Cockburn.

Along the way, he saw scenes of great chaos.

Carriages and cars were crookedly blocking the road, and some of them fell over, overturned, and even crashed into roadside shops.

Broken glass mixed with blood, the wall was broken, dust and stones were everywhere. At a glance, the ground was littered with single leather shoes and paper bags.

There were also broken limbs and crooked corpses.

Many survivors were running around the streets like crazy, waving their arms as if trying to drive away something invisible, and letting out sharp, hoarse screams.

Gillan walked past an overturned car and glanced casually. He saw through the glass that a gentleman was curled up with twisted limbs and a terrified face in the driver's seat, as if he had been dead for a long time.

And his soul has been eaten by the devil.

Jilan's eyes were cold. He raised his hand, summoned the black cane, and swung it lightly.

jingle!

The bell tied to the top of the stick's handle swung, making a clear sound that penetrated the entire street.

Dozens of demons roaming around heard the bell. They were startled at first, and then they were shocked to find that their bodies were being pulled uncontrollably.

As if an invisible force was pulling them, the apostles were dragged to a place.

"Damn it!"

"what?!"

"let me go!!"

However, the demons' struggles and roars were in vain, and they were soon dragged into Gilan's spiritual kingdom.

The mad king, who had been waiting in front of the Heart Tower, swung his cloak, and countless blood feathers swept through them like a rain of blades, tearing them into pieces.

In reality, Gillan held the cane in one hand and raised the other.

Dozens of glass beads appeared out of thin air in his palm and were all put into his pocket.

These pure soul energies decomposed and reconstructed by the devil can be used as the core refining materials of the "Philosopher's Stone" and can also be corrupted into mysterious points at any time.

Good stuff for Gillan.

He continued to move forward, and when he saw ordinary people being attacked, he would lend a helping hand and provide assistance.

Any demon that passed by would be captured by the bell tied to his cane, dragged into the kingdom of the mind, destroyed, and then refined into glass beads for storage.

Gilan seemed to have become a human-shaped self-propelled vacuum cleaner. Wherever he went, the demons there would be sucked away and decomposed.

Those reveling and raging devils were more fragile than ants in front of him and died at the first touch.

jingle……

Gillan gently shook his cane, rang the bell, and walked calmly through the streets that seemed like the end of the world.

One after another, red-skinned devils struggled and roared, while being uncontrollably dragged into an invisible place.

"The Eclipse Society has been planning this for a long time. This time they chose to attack Coburn. I'm afraid they are planning to destroy this place..."

The closer Jilan got to the city, the more dilapidated the scene became, and the more bodies of the people were found.

There are countless bloody and miserable scenes, which can be called hell on earth.

He frowned, thinking.

"If the rapidly deteriorating situation is not stopped in time, there will be an endless stream of demons running out of the gates they opened to wreak havoc in the mortal world... There is no need to wait until all the mortals in Coburn die, those demons will have already spread to the surrounding towns and continue to cause disasters. "Just like a virus plague, until the entire empire is turned upside down!"

'And this is also the purpose of the Eclipse Society.'

Gillan suddenly stopped.

The quiet, desolate and dilapidated streets were empty.

He suddenly realized something, slowly raised his head and looked at the sky.

It was almost ten o'clock in the morning. The sun had risen to mid-sky, but the sky was becoming increasingly dark.

A dark circle covered one-third of the sun, like erosion and infection, blocking most of the light and gradually forming a solar eclipse.

Seeing this, Jilan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He had a profoundly uneasy feeling.

The demonic wave set off by the Eclipse Society seems to do more than just disturb the empire, and may have more far-reaching mysterious influences.

'The local police station and army in Coburn are of no use in the face of this mysterious disaster. After all, the police and soldiers are just ordinary people with guns... If they are possessed by the devil, there will be even more tragic casualties.'

"I hope the mystics in the military district can hold on."

Jilan withdrew his gaze and thought about countermeasures.

At present, support from the committee is on the way, so he can only do his best to delay the deterioration of the situation.

After all, one person's power is limited.

'The church forces of Coburn have mysterious powers and should be able to barely resist the attacks of the devil, such as the Dawn Church, the Atonement Church and the Church of Our Lady... Although we don't expect them to fight their way out, they should be able to protect themselves and some innocent people.'

'There are also local secret societies.'

Jilan thought about it, took out the alchemy hotline, used the exclusive nameplate as a medium, stuck close to it, and called Ms. Crow.

After a short wait, the phone was answered with a click, and a lady's solemn voice came:
"Mr. Gillan? I'm so sorry, I have something important to attend to right now. Can we talk later..."

"Ms. Crow, I am currently in the city of Coburn."

Gillan said directly.

There was a surprised voice from the other end, and Ms. Crow said again:

"Mr. Gillan came to Cockburn City? Because of the mysterious disaster happening in the city?"

"It's just a coincidence." Gilan sighed. "I came here to chase a leader of the Eclipse Society. Just as I suppressed him, I found that a wave of demons broke out here."

"Ms. Crow, I wonder if the Recording Council can help the committee fight this disaster together?"

"This..." Ms. Crow wanted to refuse, but fell into deep thought.

If someone else asked for help, she would definitely ignore it.

How can the "Record Society" fight against such a terrifying mysterious disaster? The most important thing is to escape from Coburn as soon as possible.

But Jilan Iros's identity and the friendship between the two parties made Ms. Crow hesitate.

"The Records Committee does not have to provide full assistance. It only needs to send a small team with sufficient capabilities to participate in the committee's actions."

Jilan seemed to have guessed the other party's concerns, so he lowered his demands and spoke frankly.

"Now that Coburn is in trouble, only by uniting the forces of all parties can we contain the situation more quickly. Otherwise, the chaos will only spread to other areas."

"If the Record Society is willing to help, I will reward you as an official of the Empire. Ms. Crow can regard this as an 'equivalent exchange'."

"Of course, I will also remember your friendship."

Hearing this, Ms. Crow no longer hesitated and agreed in a deep voice:
"Okay, I will dispatch some members to assist you, but the rest of the Recording Committee will leave Coburn before noon. I hope Mr. Gillan can understand."

The reason why she agreed to Jilan's request for help was not because of the so-called commission fee, but because of the other party's last words.

Lady Crow knew very well that no amount of Caesars could compare to the friendship of Gillan Iros.

The other party is powerful and his status in the empire is getting higher and higher. The value of this friendship will only rise in the future.

"Then thank you Ms. Crow for your help."

Gillan said.

"Once the Recording Society sends out a team, please have them rush to the Dawn Church in the city center. We will meet there."

"no problem."

Ms. Crow said this and hung up the phone.

Jilan put away the alchemy hotline and hurried towards the direction of the Dawn Church.

More than twenty minutes later.

He came to a square, at the end of which sat a large gray stone church. Above the four-column porch was a statue of Omer's crucifixion and a cross.

This is the Cathedral of the Dawn of Cockburn.

There were a lot of sundries and suitcases scattered around the square, even some women's underwear and smelly socks were everywhere.

Apparently, quite a number of local people came here to seek refuge.

Gilan expanded his spiritual vision and scanned the interior of the cathedral.

The church became a shelter, gathering thousands of frightened people.

There were men, women, young and old, women holding their children, old men curled up on old newspapers to rest, men walking and smoking, and cries and whispers could be heard one after another.

The seemingly huge church was already crowded.

Some priests and monks in white vestments, holding consecrated crosses, Bibles and holy water bottles, were guarding behind the double doors, ready to fight against the demons hovering in the air outside the church.
