Mysterious as the Wind, Always With Me

After seeing Mark off, Captain of the Night's Watch came up.

"Your Excellency, I'm [Raven] Captain Galian Cassina. I'm in charge of this case. Has the dossier I applied to the Church of Light been approved?"

"I've heard of you." Albert nodded: "Several E-rank [Desperados] are not worth mentioning, what should be paid attention to is the B-rank anomaly No. 233 [Music Box Puppet Dancer] ."

Galian jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stomped on, and shouted: "Goddess! Why does the church ignore the B-level anomaly?"

The threat level of the B-level anomaly is not low, which means that this monster has the strength to destroy a town.

Normally, the two churches would not ignore this.

Albert took out a cowhide bag from the long sleeve of his robe and handed it to Galian.

Turning the first page, Galian's expression was even more exciting.

"Why is the combat power rating A rank?"

Albert said: "Although her lethality is not bad, she does not move, and has a strong sense of territory, very little territory space, and the wonderful characteristics of not shooting at ordinary people. Most of the time, this [Abnormal] will not be triggered. She will only be triggered if the intruder intends to take the music box by force, attempt to destroy it, or conform to her definition of [dancer]."

"Once it's triggered?"

"Even if you don't have a perfect tone, dance out of rhythm, and simply dance a country dance to pass the test. According to the record, only arrogant refusal to dance, or humiliating her face to face, triggering humiliating banned words such as 'ugly' will be ruthless. The attack. However, the attack range is limited to the dance hall. Once out of the dance hall, she will return to a calm state."

Galian quickly checked it and found that it read: Ten years ago, based on the low offensiveness of this [abnormal], the church lowered its risk rating to B, and removed the monitoring personnel, only to The castle is listed as a restricted area.

Galian also noticed that only the top half of the dossier was taken, and the bottom half was taken.

"Your Excellency, why didn't the church seal it?"

Albert didn't answer directly: "You don't have enough authority."

"Got it. I'll continue to focus on this case."

"Any ideas?"

Galian shook his head: "No. But Marc Destiny was the first survivor. At least that's a good start. I'm going to split half of the people to protect the survivors, and the other half to..."

"No! You have no right to search for that castle." Another strange voice suddenly appeared in the church.

Galian was a little choked, and just when he was getting angry, he noticed a mysterious figure in the shadow of the corner of the church. Most of the opponent's body was blurred, like a shadow. The only part of the chest that could be clearly seen with the naked eye was three golden feather ornaments.

Albert nodded as a greeting.

Galian hurriedly saluted: "Then, I will protect the survivors, and then continue to hunt and kill from other aspects."

"Go."

Galian bowed and walked away.

Waiting is a very boring thing, Mark was outside until Galian came out with great difficulty.

"Mr. Destiny, I know you're very nervous and full of questions. But now is not the time. If there's anything, we'll wait until tomorrow when the church's official results come out. Get a good night's sleep first."

"Uh, I just want to ask, that [weird] won't haunt me, will it?" Mark was really afraid.

What to dance together for a lifetime, I will not shiver just thinking about it.

Galian smiled, full of confidence, and said with great certainty: "I swear in the name of the Evernight Goddess, you are safe."

Hearing this, although Mark was still full of doubts, the big stone in his heart, which was not measured in [tons], was finally put down.

Don't look at the fact that a group of gods are hiding from him mysteriously. If it was Mark, who was a little heartless in the past, he might not be able to see it. A certain traveler's heart is bright.

However, after tossing around for most of the night, I was terrified.

As soon as he got down safely, he was so exhausted that he fell asleep in a stupor in a guest room of the church.

After a deep sleep of revenge, Mark opened his eyes, and the first thing that caught his eye was the one who nearly killed him last night——

Eight! sound! box!

The pattern, the color, the missing female doll on it, even if it turned ashes, Mark would recognize it.

"Ahhhh!"

He sat up in a panic, and wanted to get up suddenly, but he didn't say anything, and his head just throbbed.

"Bang!"

He fell from the other side of the big bed, and his butt and back made a close contact with the cold ground.

"What's up!?"

Almost the second after Mark let out a scream, Galian in leather armor burst through the wooden door with a night watchman and rushed in. The daggers in their hands, blessed with magical runes, penetrated through the window. Dazzling brilliance reflected in sunlight.

Galian's quick response gave Mark considerable confidence.

"Snapped!"

Although the pain affected him, he pressed one hand on the floor for the first time, sat up again, pointed to the head of the bed and shouted, "Music box!"

The two Galians followed Mark's fingers, and all they saw was an empty wooden bedside table.

"where?"

"I saw it there just now."

With suspicion, the captain of the night watch untied the tie on his back and put a small round shield with a diameter of 40 centimeters in front of him. After rushing in more night watchmen at the door, the three of them approached cautiously together. On the bedside table, use the tip of the dagger to open the drawer.

No.

Nothing at all.

A night watchman helped Mark up, and the other night watchmen continued their search as if facing an enemy.

There really isn't much to hide in a small room like this, which is usually reserved for monks. The room is not exaggerated, it is only fifteen square meters, and there are no luxurious and complicated furniture.

An old mahogany bed, a knee-high bedside table, a simple door-to-door wardrobe between the bed and the window, a small table at the window, a column-shaped clothes rack and a shelf for the washbasin by the door , add up to no more than six drawers, and that's all.

Looking at the narrow transom that no one could get through, looking at the empty roof, the night watchman checked it for more than ten minutes, but found nothing.

After holding back for a long time, Galian tentatively said, "Could it be that you read it wrong?"

Facing the suspicious eyes, Mark's face was quite bad, and he held back for a long time: "Just take it as my mistake. Sorry for disturbing everyone."

"It's okay, we understand. After encountering anomalies, many people will have allergic reactions." Gary Ann reassured him.

In another world, it's called post-traumatic stress disorder.

The hot sun shining in from the window shone on Mark's face, hot and hot.

In the fragmentary memory of the original owner, the Wright Empire was a country granted by the monarchical power, and the status of the two churches of light and night was transcendent. On weekdays, even the nobles would not dare to provoke the night watchman. The fact that these guys are so friendly with Yan Yue only means that it is really serious that he almost died, and there is no ghost behind it.

Taking a deep breath, Mark sat on the bed, a little slumped: "If you have anything to ask, just ask, I know everything. I just want to know, when will I be free."

Galian made a gesture, and most of the Night's Watch went out, leaving only two standing in the corner of the room. He pulled over a chair and sat back proudly, putting his hands on the back of the chair.

"When are you free? It depends on when we catch that cult lunatic."

"Cult madman?"

"Yes! Some guy sent an anonymous letter to the Night's Watch headquarters in the city, foretelling your death."

"hiss--"

Taking a deep breath, Mark felt that his scalp was numb, and the back of his head was tingling.

This is not an 'accident' at all!

This is pure, malicious, uncompromising murder!

Mark's pupils shrank violently at first, and then he lost his focus and his eyes became slack.

His face turned blue, and he tried to search for the broken memory fragments of the original owner, recalling who he had offended.

Galian encouraged him: "Don't be afraid! The Church of Evernight can ensure your safety. You slowly think, if you can, recount the whole process of this incident from beginning to end. Well, since you have been in contact with some strange people recently People start."

There is nothing to hide about the whole incident.

Yesterday was August 12th. To put it bluntly, they were two bored college students from the mystery department. When they were bragging in the pub, under the instigation of a strange adventurer named Parker, there was a 'no risk' to say go. Just go adventure. From getting to know Parker, to going home and rummaging through the cabinets to find the equipment copying guy, and then driving to this damn castle, the whole process only took four hours.

In pursuit of a sense of atmosphere, they even deliberately concealed the people in the town and organized a night visit to the castle.

Then Parker, the culprit who instigated Mark to explore, hangs in it somehow.

Around the age of 20, it is the most impulsive age. It is ridiculous that two college students who do not worry about Chaimi do such a thing in this weird and frequent world.

If you think about it, it's not unbelievable.

When Mark told the whole process, the three night watchmen on the opposite side obviously had a hard time holding back their laughter.

Fortunately, they were professional, so they didn't really laugh after listening.

"Your Excellency Captain, can I know who made the death declaration for me?"

Galian shrugged: "Who knows, there are so many cults. Those lunatics from unorthodox sects, all have criminal motives."

This world is a world of gods and monsters. As orthodox religions recognized by mainstream countries around the world, there are the Church of Light and Night, the Church of the God of Storms, the Church of the Mechanic, and the Church of the Goddess of Harvest.

In contrast, there are a lot of messed up cults.

According to legend, in the war of gods thousands of years ago, the gods of the orthodox sect defeated all the evil gods and killed or sealed them. However, the remaining evils are inexhaustible. In the following thousand years of development, there have been cults composed of different teachings and ideas.

For example, with the [Seven Deadly Sins] as the core, the actions are more inclined to the seven "big sin sects" of the lawful evil camp.

Another example is the four 'apocalyptic sects' that act more chaotically, wantonly spread chaos and destruction, and use the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse [Plague, War, Famine, Death] as their teachings.

These cults do not belong to each other, and they are chaotic. They not only join forces to attack major countries and orthodox churches, but also bite each other's dogs.

These are only relatively large sects, and there are also small sects that believe in some powerful demons, or small sects that steal divine power during the war of gods and become gods as mortals.

Since this conspirator hiding in the dark did not declare the name of the evil god he believed in, it was difficult to determine the target. The four apocalyptic sects that are simple and rude can only be roughly excluded.

Galian shrugged. "Okay, sir. Do you think you have any reason to be killed?"

Mark hesitated: "Uh, I thought about it, probably because... I'm too handsome."

"..."

Most afraid of the sudden quietness of the air, Galian's face turned into a pig's liver color within half a second, and the back of the chair he was holding made a groaning "click".

The next second, the two night watchmen in the corner jumped out.

"Captain! Calm down! Calm down!"

"If we kill the protection target, we are finished!"
