I, Citi Police Chief, pay money

Upon hearing this, Chris opened the system map without saying a word, and then looked at the two-dimensional map with blue and yellow dots on it, but no red dots. He also hesitated.

No abnormality was found.

Chris and Simon hesitated and tangled outside, but the four players who rushed into the clock tower did not have such a superfluous mood. They held their guns and climbed up the stairs quickly and carefully. This is a hard-core game. Even if you are a player, you can't use the "breathing method" to recover your blood if you get shot. Therefore, they don't want to lose their current life.

The bell tower occupied by bandits is a simple square high-rise building, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. There are nine floors inside, and there are stairs connecting each floor. The second floor to the ninth floor are closed, except for the maintenance personnel of the bell tower. , are not open to tourists, and Vernal can enter because he killed the clock tower maintenance staff and found the key from the body.

When Lao She and the others climbed up the stairs, the sound of their footsteps spread along the wall, especially when the four of them didn't even try to hide it, their footsteps were particularly heavy and loud .

"Police, we have surrounded you, surrender quickly, don't make fearless resistance!" On the fifth floor, Li Gangjing yelled loudly towards the stairs leading to the sixth floor.

"Gangjing, why are you barking?" said the pandaren, who was holding a submachine gun and was about to continue climbing the stairs, inexplicably.

"Let's rush up and beat people to death, won't we be done? What are you shouting about?"

"Do you understand the police case handling process?" Li Gangjing rolled his eyes.

"Standard procedure, and this can dispel the suspect's resistance..."

Before Li Gangjing finished speaking, gunshots rang out, and the people who fired the shots were Lao She and Chang Wei, who had been concentrating on their surroundings, and suddenly raised their weapons and shot out of the window on the floor.

The gunshot startled the other two, and when they turned their gazes to the direction where Lao She was shooting, they were shocked to see a hound-like thing covered in thick skin and covered in frost coming in from the window. , jumped up howling, and wanted to pounce on the player, but was hit by a series of bullets in mid-air, and was shot down abruptly. As the flesh and blood flew, it let out the scream of a dog creature.

Lao She and Chang Wei had no sympathy for this kind of thing that could be seen as a monster at first glance. Thomson submachine guns and Winchester shotguns slanted bullets at it one after another. It was riddled with holes, and its limbs and internal organs were scattered. It kicked its legs straight and died.

"What the hell is this? It's still melting." The pandaren exclaimed as they watched the strange picture of the discoloration on the ground, from a body of flesh and blood to a broken ice sculpture, and then quickly melted into water.

"And how did it appear, there is no balcony outside!"

"It just appeared in the glass and jumped out of it." Lao She replied with a serious face.

"Pay attention, there is something wrong with this thing, there may be something wrong with the guy we are going to kill."

"Understood." The other three replied equally seriously, and at the same time felt that this task became interesting.

The four continued to go up, and on the sixth floor, they encountered monsters again... As soon as the four of them went up, the pandaren just glanced at the window on the sixth floor, and more shadows of strange dogs came from the window glass on the sixth floor. Then they jumped out one after another, howling and pounced on the four of them.

There were a lot of these monsters, and they were very fast. The four of them raised their guns and shot, but they still couldn't suppress their charge, so they had to retreat to the fifth floor while shooting.

"Break the glass, Pandaren, smash the glass on the fifth floor and all the reflective things." Chang Wei shouted.

"These monsters can emerge from our reflections!"

"Understood!" The panda man immediately turned his gun and fired at the windows on the fifth floor. His action was very timely. Just when his eyes were looking at the glass, there were those strange faces, and the hair was replaced by thick black skin and frost. The hounds emerged from the reflection of the glass, and before they could jump out, the glass was shattered by bullets, and they could only howl and shatter along with the glass.

The four players fought fiercely in the clock tower, and there was loud gunfire. The police and reporters watching the show outside quickly realized that something was wrong, because the gunfire inside was too dense and too long, it didn't look like four police officers were besieging bandits , but as if a group of thugs were shooting at them.

"Alfonso!" Chris yelled immediately, and the Mexican who heard the order said nothing, and rushed to the bell tower with twenty heavily armed Mexican special police officers. The gunman who shot down did not turn up either.

"What's going on, Simon, did you find anything else?" Chris turned his head to look at Simon, who stared at the clock tower for a while, looking at the window glass on the fifth floor that was shattered almost at the same time, The expression on his face became suddenly enlightened.

"Boss, the guy above who shot the gun is a believer in the Wild Hunt. He is holding a Wild Hunt ceremony in the clock tower. Our people went up to interfere with the ceremony that just started, and let the Wild Hunt dogs that shouldn't appear appear!"

"What is wild hunting, what does the wild hunting ceremony mean?" Chris asked.

"It's too late to explain, Chief, let someone interrupt the ceremony, go up and kill the shooter, and don't let him kill more people." Simon looked around, feeling that his words would not be seen by others, and became anxious whispered to Chris.

"Now there must be wild hunting dogs in the clock tower. Their purpose is to prevent the police officers from going up to the top of the building, so that the protection ceremony can continue. The gunman on the top of the building must not know what happened, but if he continues to kill , or he was killed by the wild hounds in the clock tower, this matter will explode!"

Chapter 247: Chapter 240 Ceremony ([-])

Simon was very nervous, and urgently asked Chris to intervene, to interrupt the gangsters on the bell tower, and the wild hunting ceremony he had never heard of, but when he realized it, it was too late.

What is too late?

It was because Simon's warning was not as fast as the players' actions, so that when he wanted to warn something, before the words could be passed on, the four players completed their original goal. At the same time, the gunman on the roof Nor did Simon leave too much time.

The bell tower is very narrow, which is a disadvantage for the four players in the battle. The narrow environment limits their melee ability and marksmanship, and at the same time, it also limits the number of wild hunting dogs from being able to exert their advantages , so that it cannot encircle and outflank Lao She and others.

"I can't go on like this!" Lao She yelled loudly. While maintaining his shooting on the stairs on the sixth floor, he lowered his head and looked towards the stairs leading downstairs. There were shouts and footsteps coming.

"Director Chris must have discovered the anomaly and sent support up."

"Isn't this a good thing?" The pandaren next to him yelled loudly.

"This is not a good thing. It's too narrow here. The four of us can't bear it. If there are too many people, it's not easy to use it."

"How to do?"

"Come on, before the reinforcements from downstairs come up, let's go up, go up and kill that gangster and these hounds!" Lao She made a decisive choice. He took the one-meter-long demon hunting knife on his waist, and rushed forward, chopping off the head of the hound that flew into the air one by one.

"GOGOGO!" Now that the boss is on the way, the pandaren as the younger brother will certainly not lag behind. Holding a shotgun that has just been loaded with shotguns, he followed closely behind, using the gun to clean up the target a little further away. The two quickly followed, Li Gangjing was also holding a shotgun, and Chang Wei drew out the Demon Hunting Knife.

Four people, two melee units and two long-range units, charged towards the sixth floor, chopping down all the thick-skinned hounds that swooped down at once. As soon as they went up to the sixth floor, they followed Lao She and Chang Wei. The two shotgunners in the back immediately raised their guns and aimed at the glass windows where monsters were still popping out one after another, and a few shotguns shot past, smashing them and interrupting the hound's follow-up reinforcements.

These grotesque hounds move and attack faster than ordinary dogs. Because of their thick skin, they have higher defense and more vicious appearance. They can deal with ordinary people one by one. This combat power is not enough at all.

The four of them cleaned up all the monsters on the sixth floor in two or three strokes, and then they continued to attack the seventh floor without stopping.

In this attack, the four of them absorbed the battle situation they encountered when they attacked the sixth floor. As soon as they went up, the pandaren and Li Gangjing didn't even look at the environment on the seventh floor. Their first reaction was to raise their guns and shoot bullets at window.

When the reflection of a person appears in the glass, when the gaze of the person casts over and meets his own shadow, the wild hounds appear in the reflection, they growl and jump out of the reflection, and then...they, together with the glass At the same time, the bullets fired over were smashed and smashed into pieces.

Only the two faster-moving hounds managed to get out of the reflection and came to the real world. Then, Lao She and Chang Wei lunged forward, stabbed each other, and the dog's head flew up.

The seventh floor was quickly emptied, and then they were going to rush to the eighth floor, and just as the players were about to rush to the ninth floor in one breath and quickly shoot the gangsters on the roof, when they were on the stairs leading to the eighth floor from the seventh floor, they heard a noise coming from above their heads. The sound of a Sten submachine gun.

The gunshots lasted for a short time, accompanied by high-pitched curses, and soon disappeared, replaced by screams and barking.

problem occurs!

As soon as the players heard the sound, they knew what happened above. Although they were a little puzzled why it appeared, Lao She and the others subconsciously quickened their pace and rushed up to the eighth floor in two or three strokes.

The eighth floor was empty, with neither human figures nor monsters. Only the screams from above had disappeared, and only the creeping gnawing sounds became clearer and clearer.

The players continued to move forward, they rushed to the ninth floor without hesitation, and when they reached the top of the building, a guy suspected of being a criminal suspect was lying sprawled on the ground, with three ferocious hounds tearing at him, Intestines, lung lobes, and even a human head were thrown around with the movements of the three monsters.

Seeing this scene, Lao She and Chang Wei rushed over quickly, and at the moment when the three monster hounds turned their heads because of the sound of footsteps, they swung their knives down and killed them all.

"Fuck, we're late." The pandaren couldn't help yelling, seeing the picture on the ground that couldn't be printed on the newspaper without mosaics, and the guns that fell beside it.

"How to do?"

"Cold salad, let the people below come up." Just as Lao She finished speaking, footsteps came from the stairs. Chris rushed up with Simon, Alfonso and other special police officers. The necromancer saw the corpse on the ground , suddenly waved his fist angrily.

"Oh, it's too late. The ritual performer was backlashed by the ritual. Now, it's troublesome."

"What do you mean, explain clearly." Chris grabbed Simon and asked forcefully.

"What is wild hunting, and what is the wild hunting ceremony?"

"What is the Wild Hunt? So far, as far as I know, no one has figured it out. We just know that this kind of monsters in ancient armor and covered in frost are chasing war and death. Whenever they appear Sometimes, it is often accompanied by frost and strong wind." Said Simon.

"The Nordics have the most records on the wild hunting. This kind of monster likes to appear in the territory of the ancient Vikings very much, and then records of their appearance have been found in other parts of Europe, but without exception, every time they Infestation is accompanied by a large number of deaths, and these underground..."

Simon kicked the three hound corpses that hadn't completely melted.

"This is the Wild Hunting Hound, a monster made alive by the creatures killed by the Wild Hunt."

"Uh, but Mr. Simon, isn't there an open space around your feet? We didn't see anything here, only a puddle of water." Alfonso who was next to him stepped in and asked suspiciously.

"En?" Chris glanced at the rapidly melting corpse on the ground, then looked up at Alfonso who looked confused and Simon who spread his hands in a helpless manner.

"That's another problem, wild hunting dogs, only those who can see souls and cause them to appear, can see them, for example, you and I are the former, rushing up, the police officer who triggered the ritual backlash and the wild hunting on the ground The reservists can see it, but ordinary people can't see the wild hound."

Chapter 248 : Chapter 240 Three Rituals ([-])

What is Wild Hunt?

This is the question Chris wants to know the most at the moment, and about this question, Simon can't give Chris a definite answer. He only knows that this is a group of people wearing hideous armor and hanging with frost, and they need to appear in snowstorms and wars. A ghost-like existence that hunts down some strong men and innocent passers-by who are targeted for unknown reasons.

And this group, there are still people who can join it, as long as you desire, pursue, enjoy killing, and successfully create many successful hunts, and become a killing madman who enjoys it, then you may be killed The Wild Hunt was sensed, and then the unknown conditions were met, and under the trend of his own killing desire, he unknowingly performed the Wild Hunt ceremony.

There are many kinds of wild hunting rituals, but in the end, they are all killings, just like the gunman hiding on the clock tower is killing people. When he kills enough people with guns on the clock tower and kills him to his heart's content, he will go mad. The hunting ceremony will be completed. Next, as long as the gangster commits suicide or is killed by others, Wild Hunt will come down to meet his soul and make him a part of Wild Hunt.

"In the records of the Minecraft Library, there was a hunter in ancient times, because he was fond of hunting wild boars, and he hunted a lot of wild boars. As he killed and killed, he met the prerequisites of the wild hunting ceremony and obtained the wild boar. In the hunt that lasted for a month, after the hunter had hunted all the wild boars in an area, he was in the center of the city, and under the eyes of others, he stabbed the wild boar with his own skinning knife. Suicide of his own heart, and then, in full view, his body and soul were taken by the Wild Hunt that came on the frost."

Hearing Simon's introduction, Chris was shocked, and there is such a thing as killing a wild boar to become a wild hunt?

"And then? What's going on with this Wild Hunt ceremony, and what are these wild hunting dogs? Why did you say before that the Wild Hunt ceremony cannot be interrupted, and the participants of the Wild Hunt ceremony cannot be backlashed by the ceremony?"

"I don't know who the gunman lying on the ground is, but his wild hunting ritual is to kill people, so he must be a murderous maniac." Simon pointed to the unrecognizable corpse on the ground and said.

"In ancient Europe, wild hunting was very frequent, especially in winter, when there was a snowstorm, there would almost always be wild hunting wandering in it, chasing and killing their chosen prey, and under such a background, at that time Extraordinary people have recorded many records about wild hunting. In the library of my hometown, I saw a book that said that before the wild hunting ceremony begins, you can prevent the wild hunting from appearing by killing the ritual practitioners. But when the Wild Hunt ritual begins, it cannot be interrupted."

Simon paused, looked at the corpse on the ground with complicated eyes and continued.

"I don't know if it's true, but it's recorded in the book that the ritualist will perform the ritual during the killing. What to kill depends on the target the ritualist chooses. When they kill to their satisfaction, the ritualist will be hunted On the contrary, if the ceremony is interrupted by external force, the ceremony will be temporarily stopped, and then continue after a while."

"How does the ceremony continue?" Chris asked, he had a hunch, this is a very important key.

"The soul of the recipient of the ritual will find a mortal with the same desire as him in the area where the ritual was interrupted, and possess him, making him also become the ritualist of the wild hunt, and restart the ritual of the wild hunt, and at this time, the It's two Wild Hunt rituals."

After hearing this, Chris raised his eyebrows.

"In other words, after the underground killer dies, after a while, his soul will find a potential killer in New York to possess him, turning him into the same killer, and then the second killer will come After killing as many people as the two killers want to kill, will we be satisfied to become Wild Hunt and leave this world?"

"Although the details are a bit wrong, this is probably the case." Chris's understanding made Simon think for a while, but he couldn't think of anything wrong.

"Then what happened to the ritual backlash?" Clinton said, pointing to the fragmented corpse on the ground.

"This is about the Wild Hound." Simon continued, and Chris, the player, and the other Mexicans listened intently to his words.

"According to the research of my faction's past mentors, the wild hunting dogs are monsters transformed from the souls of the creatures killed by the wild hunting. That is to say, the wild hunting dogs that appeared in the clock tower were all killed by this criminal suspect on the ground. , because he killed them, these hounds are full of resentment towards the ritualists.

If this dude on the ground has become the wild hunt, these wild hounds are his minions, but the problem is that he has not yet become the wild hunt, and the wild hunting ritual has been disturbed, so that the wild hounds from some unknown world find Taking the opportunity, I came to the ceremony site.

Hounds appearing in the real world will go out of their way to find the Ritualist and kill him as a way to vent their resentment and anger at being killed. "Speaking, Simon glanced at the corpse on the ground again.

"The ritualist who was tortured and killed by the hounds may be due to anger, or it may be due to reasons that other necromancers have not researched yet. The next time he reappears, he will have a part of the wild hunting ability, instead of being an ordinary one. The murderer appears, and at the same time, the person who hates the interference of the ritual extremely, will pursue and kill the ritual disruptor endlessly after the ritual is completed and becomes a wild hunt.

Therefore, after the discovery of the wild hunting ceremony in Europe, ordinary transcendents will choose to ignore it, because even if they kill people, they will at most kill ordinary people and cannot threaten them. Many people died, and after the ceremony was completed, Wild Hunt would hunt down the disruptors, and there were rare cases of the latter successfully escaping the endless pursuit. "

"It's such a troublesome thing, how can this ceremony be truly interrupted?"

"Continuously killing the Ritualist of the Wild Hunt and interfering with his killing, every interruption of the ritual will consume part of the soul of the Ritualist, although the further you go, the closer the Ritualist is to the Wild Hunt and have more Wild Hunting The ability of the ritual is getting stronger and stronger, but at the end, when the ritualist is almost the same as the real Wild Hunt, if his ritual is interrupted at the end, the ritualist will be wiped out, but basically, few people are willing to provoke a wild hunter Hunting, even if it's a near-imitator," said Simon.

"The real wild hunt is very troublesome. I don't know exactly how troublesome it is, because I only read the first half of the books that record these contents, but not the second half."

A troublesome thing.

After listening to Simon's words, the ordinary people present all felt their scalps go numb.

"Director Chris, what shall we do then?" Alfonso came over and asked.

"What can we do? Follow the rules, record what Simon said, and give it to McGee later, he should be waiting very anxiously now, let's carry this corpse down."

"What if he doesn't believe it?"

"If you don't believe it, don't believe it. Anyway, I told him the matter, and he doesn't want to intervene in the following matters. Then we can do it alone without pig teammates. Maybe it's better."

Chapter 249: Chapter 240

Chris is a very responsible person, so he quickly had the dead body of the gangster wrapped in a white cloth, and then carried down on a stretcher, because this unlucky guy was too miserable, even if there was something to cover him, his sharp eyes The reporter still found something abnormal from the outline of the corpse. Amidst the sound of snapping pictures and white light, someone rushed over with a notebook and pen to ask questions.

"Officer, did you abuse or even kill the suspect?"

"Officer, officer, why are there so many gunshots in the clock tower? As far as we know, there is only one shooter in the clock tower. You need to shoot so many shots at one person?"

"No (harmony) advice, no (harmony) announcement, no (harmony) announcement!" Sheriff Regina, who took the lead, stretched out his hands to push away the reporters who were in the way, perfunctory them, and let them No matter how the annoying guy asks questions, he will always say one word...no (harmonious) comment.

Facing the siege of the reporters, the police carried the corpses and rushed towards the transport truck parked on the side of the road. Their attitude and actions immediately angered these uncrowned kings, and their questions became more intense. The policeman rushed in under the arm fence, trying to run to lift the white cloth and expose the body lying on the stretcher.

Fortunately, Lao She, who was standing next to the stretcher, saw someone rushing towards him. Before the latter was about to grab the white cloth of the stretcher, he clenched his fist and punched him in the face. He fell to the ground and passed out.

The reporters at the scene were in an uproar. They had never encountered a policeman who dared to attack a reporter in full view. This immediately aroused their anger. The people on the ground clacked violently.

"Executioner!"

"murderer……"

"Butcher!"

There was a lot of abuse and accusations, and at this critical moment, Chris rushed over. He pushed through the crowd and saw the people lying on the ground and Lao She standing next to the stretcher with his fists clenched. He immediately knew what happened at the scene Things, Chris stood up, waved for the police from his branch to come over, and separated the crowd, while pointing the other finger at the bastard who passed out on the ground.

"Quick, catch me, catch the gunman's accomplice!"

Who wouldn't know how to put a hat on, you really think this is a later life!

Chris put on a big hat, which made the surrounding reporters confused, and their abuse was subconsciously lowered a lot.

The reporter was in a daze, but the police didn't know it. The loyal police officers from the sixteenth division rushed over, lifted the reporter who was lying on the ground, and handcuffed his hand with a snap. The latter woke up and looked at the policemen around him and the handcuffs in a daze. Before he could realize what happened for a while, he was taken away with the gunman's body.
