Edge of the Apocalypse

Vera stopped, she raised her head, and Belmode's figure was reflected in her black and white eyes: "Do you know this man?"

"Miss Vera, this is..."

Torn the drawing paper and handed it to Belmode, Vera said: "This is a certain future image that I have seen. I can occasionally see fragments like this. The power of the line of destiny only allows me to see clearly. I am related to people or things, but the time when the episodes took place is always vague. This man will steal the textile machine, the purpose is unknown, and I don’t even know the time. Maybe in these few days, maybe in a few years after that."

"I bet this will be discovered soon, because this guy is in town right now." Belmode slapped his head: "I'm going to find Edward now, and someone has to watch him. No, I'll do it myself. Up."

After speaking, she took the drawing paper and ran out. Not far away, Lucy raised her head, looked at Vera again, and finally focused on her fraud box.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and it was time for a cotton spinning factory in the east of the city to leave after get off work. This is a factory owned by the big businessman Xiao En in the city. Thanks to the use of semi-automatic textile machines, the production efficiency of the factory has doubled several times. Although the time of the workers is the same as in the past, the output and income are not what they used to be. Once the business with Violet Port goes smoothly, the factory will be expanded. As for now, it still maintains its previous scale.

After the workers left, the lights in the factory shed were turned off, and a night watchman carried a flask, pulled a chair and sat down behind the open door. A dog is lying next to him, this is his most loyal partner, who will spend the long night with him.

As time passed, the night watchman yawned and took a blanket to cover him. Not long after, a series of grunts sounded in the factory. At this moment, the ears of the dog lying on the ground moved, and suddenly a sausage rolled in from the gap under the door. The sausage also exudes heat and has an attractive aroma. The dog was drooling, and he opened his mouth and ate the sausage in two bites.

The dog didn't notice that there were other flavors in this sausage. Not long after, the dog suddenly foamed at the mouth, turned his eyes, fell to the ground and gradually convulsed. The poor dog had fallen into the arms of death, and a thin figure was reflected in its gradually out of focus eyes.

A man came in easily through the crack of the door, first glanced at the dog on the ground, and then at the sleeping night watchman. He pulled out a blackened dagger in his hand, and after hesitating for a while, he let the night watchman go and walked towards the depths of the factory.

After a while, he stood in front of a textile machine. The man opened his coat, and all kinds of tools were hung on the inner layer of his clothes.

In his deep sleep, the night watchman turned over and did not notice the dead dog under his feet, and did not know that there was no spinning machine in the factory shed. The missing machine has now become a pile of parts stacked on the floor of a window behind the factory shed. The man turned over from the window lightly, and after he fell to the ground, the cat leaped into the shadow of the street corner.

It didn't take long for him to push a bucket truck with some rusty parts in it. The man mixed the parts of the textile machine in, covered it with a tarp, and planned to leave.

Suddenly whistle sounded from the corner of the street, and the originally dim street lit up at the beginning. The city defense team emerged from the darkness like a ghost, and the bright gunpoint was aimed at the man. Mato strode out with the torch, and said solemnly to the man: "Mr. Ollie, I suspect you have stolen the city's important industrial secrets. I want to arrest you now. I hope you cooperate!"

Ollie was exposed to the fire, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead. He smiled bitterly: "Sir, there must be some misunderstanding in this. Look, these are just scraps to be disposed of. They shouldn't be confidential, right? ?"

He carefully uncovered the tarp, for fear of misunderstanding and calling for an attack. Sure enough, there were some rusty parts in the bucket, but it was a pity that what he had done just now fell into Mato's eyes. Mato said blankly, "Is it a misunderstanding? You will understand if you tell us back to the city defense team. Let's go, Mr. Ollie."

Waved, several soldiers stepped forward. Ollie said helplessly: "Well, I will go back with you."

The raised hands made a posture that would not resist. The two soldiers had just relaxed before their hands touched Ollie's shoulders. A mark suddenly appeared on Ollie's left cheek. It was a face with closed eyes, and the lines on the face showed dark purple light. Suddenly the light in the surrounding space dimmed, and the light of the torch could not play the role of illumination like fluorescent light, and the dense black enveloped the audience.

Matori knew it was going to be bad, but because his vision was completely dark, he did not dare to let the soldiers shoot in order to avoid accidental injury. When the light resumed, Ollie had left the cart and did not know where to escape.

"The city gate is closed and he can't run. Search it for me, search every corner and find this **** mouse!" Mato shouted.

The city defense team left quickly, and shortly after they left, Ollie crawled out of the factory shed window lightly. He was very clever and didn't hide elsewhere, so he hid in the factory. There really is Mato's psychological blind spot, the captain did not expect this thief to be so bold.

Ollie snorted, pulled up the wagon and left, when there was applause.

"Who is it?" Ollie said solemnly.

A man's voice behind him said: "It's wonderful, I lied to Mato. Kira is right. You are a professional thief, and you are very clever."

Ollie turned and looked up. A man stood on the shed. He leaped forward and landed on the ground. The man stood loosely, but in Ollie's feeling, the opponent seemed to be able to attack from any angle at any time. His danger alone surpassed everyone in the city defense team just now.

"Do you know Kira?" Ollie asked casually.

"Okay, don't waste everyone's time." The man shrugged, "I'm still rushing back to sleep, so you see, I'll catch it with my hands. I think Edward will be happy to know where you are from."

"Really? It's a pity that you can't catch me." The mark reappeared on Ollie's face, and the surrounding light dimmed again.

When the light became extremely dim, a dagger flashed out of Ollie's hand, and he suddenly rushed forward, planning to solve the man.

Belmode shook his head and laughed, "Obviously, you chose an extremely bad answer."

Then there was a violent clash in the darkness, Ollie exclaimed first, followed by a scream. The light gradually recovered, but Ollie had fallen soft to the ground. There were many knives in his hands and feet, and Belmode swung a pitch-black short blade. It was this thing that just picked out the thief's hamstrings and made him unable to move. Looking at Ollie again, his eyes were full of fear when he looked at Belmode.

"For a killer, darkness is a good partner. You use darkness to deal with me, doesn't it look ridiculous?"

Ollie couldn't laugh anymore.

When he was thrown into Edward's office, he already wanted to cry. Edward looked at the thief with interest, and knelt down and said, "Tell me, who instigated you?"

Ollie gritted his teeth, Edward sighed, and said to Belmode next to him: "I have been wandering on many planets before, and most often I have been slave merchants of various races. You have to admit that these guys know more about slaves. However, every kind of life has its weaknesses, some are afraid of water, and some are afraid of fire. But most human beings are afraid of pain..."

Edward took a silver knife from under the table, which was usually used to scrape off the wax print on the envelope. With this knife, Edward tore a very thin piece of meat from Ollie's arm. Ollie couldn't help screaming, Edward smiled like a devil: "Such an injury is not fatal to you, but it will hurt. Now, I will slowly cut off the flesh from your body little by little. Until you are willing to speak."

Then the second knife swung out.

Ollie’s spine disappeared when Edward swung the fifth knife. He screamed: "I said, I will tell you everything. It is Sir Maud. Yes, it was his idea. He wanted Crowe. Sith Textile Machine!"

"Oh, you know your name very well. Then tell me, who provided him with the information?"

Ollie recruited all he knew, he was originally a subordinate of Maud's son Joey. After Rattis told Maude about the textile machine, Joey called him over and asked him to steal something from Suhl. Of course, it would be difficult to do it if it was just an Ollie, so Sir Maud issued a bounty to the adventurers, so that a large number of adventurers poured into the city of Sul.

As for Ollie, he caught up with Kira and his team. Covering themselves with their identities, they followed in.

Seeing this man with tears and nose running all over~www.readwn.com~ Edward threw the blood-stained silver knife into the trash can. At this time, Mato, who came to hear the news, looked at the thief on the ground and asked, "My lord, what do you plan to do with him?"

"Of course it was executed. Do you still have to ask? Remember to show his corpse to the public and tell the adventurers that they all cheated the old fox to Maud." Edward said casually.

When Ollie on the ground heard it, he cursed. Matuo raised the **** of his rifle and knocked it on his head, knocking him out, and then dragging him down.

In the darkness just before dawn, a loud gunshot rang out in the city of Suhl, causing many adventurers who were still in their dreams to startle in a cold sweat. By daybreak, someone boldly came to the street, and saw Orly whose body was hung for public display in the square in front of the city lord's mansion, and his face immediately became quite ugly. As more and more people knew about Ollie, there were already adventurers preparing to leave. However, Sir Maud's high rewards still allowed many people to stay.

Among them, Kyla and her partners are included. r1058
