Shadow Apostle

"What happened? Monica, Mr. Horst."

Only a few minutes later, Bruno had just gotten off the padded carriage when he saw Monica and Horst getting out of the car with a strange atmosphere.

Especially Monica, her eyes were wandering and her cheeks were slightly red.

Bruno looked suspicious and kept looking at their clothes.

The buttons are fastened well.

The shirt is not wrinkled either.

And it can't be that fast, it's only two minutes.

Could it be that, Mr. Horst, you can only...

Just when Bruno's expression became more and more weird and his eyes unconsciously drifted towards Horst, a stabbing sword suddenly pointed at his nose.

"Mr. Bruno Kahn, according to Article 28 of the Kingdom's Public Security Law, I now have the right to sentence you to beheaded and execute it immediately."

"Isn't there only twenty-seven articles of the Public Security Law? If there are twenty-eight articles, I surrender."

While raising his hands in surrender, Bruno did not forget to give Horst a comforting look full of pity.

The corners of Horst's eyes twitched and he smiled sinisterly at him: "Monica, this person asked me what happened in the carriage with his mouth. I'll tell him."

"Qiang", the sound of sword drawing sounded.

Nothing happened.

It was Horst who showed her Kant's card and explained his deal with Kant in the simplest terms.

So Monica was just a little embarrassed because of the misunderstanding.

But I also understand that, at least until now, the goals of both parties are still the same.

Find out the truth and stop this group of rats who wantonly sacrifice.

As for the cat…

"Do you really think that cat and the human-faced mouse are not from the same camp? It is Bastet's cultist."

This time there was no more private communication, but it was said in front of Bruno.

"Cultists and cultists may not stand together."

Monica stopped talking. The battles between cultists were far more intense than the battles between human churches.

"What exactly is the evil god Bastet?" Horst asked, "I have no idea at all."

"You want to know?"

"I already know." Horst spread his hands, "I don't care more."

"He's right, Monica." Bruno also said, "I don't care more."

"The cat god, the elegant Bastet, is one of the masters of the fantasy world. She is slightly higher than Sathoggua." Monica sighed and explained, "Actually, she is a relatively gentle master, belonging to the opposite party. The least hostile type in the world. Her followers are also the ones who retain the most normal thinking among the cultists. In addition to being indistinguishable between humans and cats, they can even communicate simply. So your hypothesis is not impossible, but why do you dare? Guess that?"

"I was thinking, what would have happened if I hadn't shown up at that time and continued to develop?"

"It shouldn't make any difference."

"Yes, you won't know about Warehouse No. 4, but if it comes out of the sewer, you will naturally go in and check it in a small area, and then..."

"Then we will discover the mouse hole in Warehouse No. 4." Monica took a deep breath, "Do you think it is leading us to Warehouse No. 4? But if it really intends to cooperate, why does it attack... Well? Um, what are you doing?"

"Shhhhhh, tens, tens."

"That's you." Monica slapped away the paw he was covering and raised the corners of her mouth, "Then I'll follow your suggestion for the time being and keep a vigilant posture towards it. Bruno, what do you think?"

Bruno patted his belly subconsciously, looking like he was full: "The fact that they were attacked is their fault. Anyway, I didn't see it being detrimental to Mingyue City. It's different with those human-faced rats that were sacrificed."

"okay, I get it."

Monica nodded, her expression became serious, and she knocked lightly on the door of the thickened carriage three times.

There were one heavy, three light and four knocking sounds from inside.

Monica pulled Horst away from the car door, then she and Bruno leaned on both sides of the car door, and knocked heavily on the car door twice more.

There was no response from inside, but the car door opened quickly.

As soon as the car door opened, a cold feeling hit my face.

That was not a real feeling, and the temperature in the car was not abnormal.

This coldness was like a direct hit to the soul. From the inside to the outside, the whole body felt as if it was about to be frozen.

However, the strange feeling only lasted for a moment, and Horst returned to normal.

They saw Julian and Bonnie carrying gas bottles behind the open door.

The two of them blocked the door with their guns slanted and waited for three seconds.

After confirming the safety outside the car, he cautiously jumped out of the car.

Seeing the actions of the Watchers, Horst had a very bad feeling.

He had already vaguely guessed what the so-called special equipment was.

Sure enough, after Julian and Bonnie left the car door, two other ordinary people wearing executioner's hoods were revealed in the car.

The two men were sitting opposite each other, facing a small box between them.

Both of their hands touched the box and their eyes were fixed on the box. It wasn't until Julian and Bonnie got out of the car that one of them stood up with the box in his hands, sent the box to the door, and handed it to Bonnie. hands.

The box was larger than a common jewelry box and looked very delicate. But for some reason, Horst felt creepy when he saw the box. It was like seeing a bloodthirsty beast from a distance. However, what he saw was just a box. That’s all.

Bonnie held the box and left the carriage to return to the others. Monica came up to meet them, took a deep breath, carefully opened the box a crack and looked inside, and then quickly closed the box tightly.

But within these two seconds, Horst once again felt bone-chilling coldness.

Even the blood seemed to be frozen.

The limbs became a little stiff.

Although the cold feeling disappeared immediately as the lid closed, Horst knew that this was not an illusion.

Because the skin is still cold, it seems that even the breath he exhales is cold.

And not only himself, but also the police officers who were clearing the area around him shuddered unconsciously. These people looked around in confusion, and then continued to perform their tasks.

"This is D-372, a containment object of the Mingyue City branch. This is a weapon specially approved by K for this operation. It must be used with caution."

"It's just a D-class item?" Horst rubbed his arms, "I feel like I'm freezing all over, but the environment hasn't changed at all."

"Don't underestimate D-level mysterious items, Horst. Don't forget that any mysterious item with a level can kill people, no matter how mild it is." Monica pointed at the box, the chill in her voice was stronger than the box. , "I took this in with my own hands a few years ago. Do you know what the scene was like? At a lunch party in the middle of summer, in the courtyard under the sun, within a radius of thirty meters of this thing, more than eighty people spoke in various ways. Different postures turned into ice sculptures. In the temperature of more than 30 degrees, the ice sculptures did not melt at all. Each ice sculpture seemed to be alive and still maintained the posture in life."

Horst gasped.

"Remember, Horst, once the box is opened and exposed to open space, it will create a cold field within a thirty-meter radius that only targets the soul. If the resistance fails, the soul will be frozen, and then The body will also reflect the state of the soul, and then turn into a real ice sculpture."

"If it is used as a weapon, how can we avoid it? We don't have to turn ourselves into ice sculptures first."

Monica didn't answer, just hummed a very short tune.

"Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang... Dang, Dang, Dang. Remember this tune. After D-372 is activated, hum this tune repeatedly in your mind, which can weaken the impact of severe cold. Note that it is not to completely offset the impact, but to weaken it to the greatest extent. It doesn’t matter if you really can’t remember it, as soon as the box is opened, it will play the tune itself, just hum it along, but the sound of the box is relatively quiet, so you have to listen carefully.”

Seeing Horst nod in confirmation, Monica patted the box, motioned to Bonnie to keep it safe, and then shouted an order.

"Groups 3, 4, 5 and 3, deploy control on the ground. Groups 1 and 2 enter the sewer, block it nearby, and strictly prohibit going deep. I repeat, deploy control at the entrance nearby, ensure that the retreat route is clear, and it is strictly forbidden to go deep without permission. The rest of the combatants, follow me. .”

With a bang, the manhole cover opened, revealing the deep, dark space below.

"Down."
