Ark's Journey to the Demon God

Shen Muke lowered the brim of his hat and his monocle flashed: "The so-called case investigation is nothing more than three points."

"First, who did it."

"Second, how did he do it."

"Third, why did he do it."

Maena nodded and said, "So, how do we find out who did this now?"

"Haha, Maena, do you know any monsters that are black?"

Chapter 57

solve

into the night.

Duolun County fell into silence.

Unlike Londinium, Doron County is not that prosperous, and Count Vincent's management of Doron County is relatively loose, so people here basically do not work night shifts.

Therefore, when night falls, the streets become quiet. Except for areas such as hospitals and security stations that still have lights on, other areas have basically settled down.

In the hospital, in a dark ward.

A shadow flashed into it and came to the bed.

Lying on the bed in front of him was the surviving Londinium escort team, which was the only flaw in the plan.

It would have been better if he had checked more. Who knew he had survived?

Shadow shook his head, stretched out his hand, and reached for the oxygen tube on the side.

As long as the life support device is disconnected, he will definitely die in the coma!

In the darkness, the shadow touched the oxygen tube...

Snapped!

The lights in the ward were suddenly turned on, and the shining incandescent lamp illuminated the shadow's face, revealing his identity.

"Walter?! It's really you!"

In the corner of the ward, Shen Muke, Ma Enna, and Captain Carter were all there. At this time, Captain Carter was looking at the killer in front of him in disbelief.

It was his adjutant, Walter.

"Mr. Walter, can you give me an explanation?" Shen Muke smiled, clapped his hands, and said, "What drives you to do such a thing?"

Walter's expression changed, his eyes flickered, and he asked: "You...how did you know it was me?"

Walter is not stupid, he has seen that he has been exposed long ago.

"Very low-end reasoning, isn't it?" Shen Muke shrugged and said, "If there is anyone in the world who can deceive everyone present at that time, then I feel it must be you~"

"what are you saying?"

"Stop pretending, Black Snake, let's open the skylight and talk frankly."

hiss--

The neighing of the poisonous snake rang in everyone's ears, causing Maena and Carter to cover their ears.

The appearance of Walter in front of him had changed drastically. His figure gradually shrank and his complexion gradually became pale. Within a moment, his appearance changed.

"Walter, how did you..."

"Captain Carter, please step back, he is no longer your adjutant." Shen Muke raised his cane with a solemn face, the fire jade on the head of the cane flashing -

"Black Snake, long time no see."

"Long time no see? Oh, should I say it's a lingering ghost? Why are my plans always interrupted by you?"

From the subversive plan in Duolun County to the current police conflict, many of Black Snake's plans in Victoria are always interrupted by others, and the person who pursues him relentlessly is the young man wearing a wizard's hat in front of him. .

"Perhaps there are some holes in your memory? This makes me so sad. Our [fate] is not just in Victoria~"

The vertical pupils of the black snake's eyes gradually shrank, and he was thinking: "You...are the one..."

"Do you remember the [-]th Ukha War?" Shen Muke reminded: "My chariot is pretty cool, right?"

"The flag-bearer of Silver Spear Pegasus?" Black Snake's tone gradually became colder, and he remembered.

"That's interesting. It seems like you have complete control over your power."

Black Snake was very keen, and he realized that the boy with antlers had changed and was walking on the earth with a new look.

"I see. No wonder my plans are always discovered. It seems that I underestimated the enemy."

"In fact, you have been cautious enough. You even left a backup plan on the prisoner, didn't you? Once he is caught, the curse on his neck will activate, and your divine power will strangle him alive!"

"Is that so...you've caught him?"

"Yesterday, what happened last night." Shen Muke explained.

Last night, after he used Larmer's past flashback to read the incident, he found the prisoner's trace. He followed the prisoner's figure and finally caught him on the way to Xiaoqiu County.

The prisoner was quite resistant at the time, but after the black snake's curse took effect and Shen Muke successfully rescued him, he cooperated a lot.

As for how to save him... Do you want to know about Flush's immortal blessing?

So from the beginning, Shen Muke was not reasoning or looking for clues at all, but waiting for the black snake to reveal its tail!

Sure enough, Black Snake, aware of the risk of exposure, came and was immediately caught.

"Oh, boy, you are indeed enough to surprise me. But it is not enough. The shadow of snake scales is about to cover Victoria, and the rolling wheels are about to turn. Under the footsteps of the times, you will only be broken into pieces."

Black Snake opened his arms and pointed at Ma Enna and Carter behind Shen Muke:

"You are working with them, and Victoria, just to put out the fire. Do you think what you do can keep Victoria prosperous? Oh, this empire is already dazzling enough, and its glory has shined for so long that people have forgotten The glory days of the past... just wait, it won’t be too long, it won’t be too long!”

"Don't make me laugh, Black Snake, your stinking theories can't fool me." Shen Muke retorted, raising his cane on guard.

hiss--

The black snake neighed, rushed towards Shen Muke, and was burned to ashes by the fierce flames.

He killed himself?

Shen Muke stared blankly at the cane in his hand.

The snake's reaction was much quicker than he expected. In order not to be captured alive, it directly gave up this part of its divinity and acted out a good show of a strong man cutting off his wrist!

Carter and Maena were stunned on the spot, still thinking about Black Snake's remarks.

Shen Muke walked up to the two of them, patted their shoulders and said: "Don't believe a word of what he said, let alone scrutinize his theory. This is his trap. Once you agree with him, he will Control you, understand?"

Carter and Maena trembled and nodded repeatedly.

Shen Muke walked to the window and looked out. At this time, the outside was surrounded by security team members and a large group of doctors. In order to deal with the black snake, Shen Muke had made preparations, but it was a pity that he would not use them now...

"Cough, cough, cough!"

A violent cough suddenly sounded, and Carter turned around suddenly and saw the colleague on the hospital bed slowly opening his eyes——

"You're awake?! Oh my God, thank God!"

"Maena! Go find a doctor!"

"Understood!"

……

As the land vehicle drove on the road in the wilderness, Shen Muke and Ma Enna retired. After reporting to Count Vincent, the two set off on their way home.

Objectively speaking, this incident was much simpler than Shen Muke imagined.

Although the plan that Black Snake arranged for the prisoner was quite terrifying, in the end, before the prisoner could reach Xiaoqiu County, he was captured by Shen Muke, which was considered a near miss.

As for what their plan is... Black Snake hopes that the prisoners will sneak into the prison in Xiaoqiu County, contact the Tara people there, and then form an organization to stir up conflicts between Victoria and the Tara people. At the same time, they will cooperate with Snake Scales to destroy Xiaoqiu. Everything about the county!

This plan is quite terrifying, and in a sense, it may actually succeed.

The problem of the Tara people is a legacy of Victoria's history. This problem is more difficult to solve than the problem of infected people, because improving the living conditions of the infected only requires the promotion of policies and allocation investments. As for the problem of the Tara people...unless you decide Change the emperor.

Sighing softly, Shen Muke leaned back on the chair. Black Snake's plan is by no means complete. He still has countless back-ups. Who knows what he will do next time?

And because He acted so openly, he must have received help from the local forces in Victoria, which made the situation even more complicated.

There is a long way to go to save Victoria...

"Sir?" Maena said: "I still don't quite understand what all this is about. Of the three items you mentioned before, I only want to understand two... How did that guy do all this? of?"

"Oh, actually, you may not be able to understand the things involved here, even if I say them... But since you want to hear them, I'll tell you."

Shen Muke said with a smile: "A few days ago, Londinium's escort team arrived in Duolun County. At this time, Black Snake's plan began."

"He allowed the prisoners to board the prison van, and then when they arrived outside the city, he made the so-called distress call to Captain Carter."

"Because He had already met the people of Londinium, He could imitate their tone and accent so perfectly that Carter couldn't believe it."

"When Carter and his men caught up with the convoy, His performance began."

"Black Snake is an evil god who plays with people's hearts and confuses people's hearing and hearing. It played a small hallucination trap to make Carter think that she had really encountered a monster. Surprise and fear prevented her from making accurate judgments, so the two sides fought and fought. here we go."

"Carter said that she was hit on the back of the head during the battle, and when she woke up, everything was settled. This was Black Snake's trick. He needed someone to take the blame for him...Carter is the best candidate."

"So He controlled Walter and brought people to the scene just to let the security team members see Carter's [crime] with their own eyes, so that it would be convincing!"

"As for the monsters in his illusion, I guess they are most likely the evil demons in the north... Only evil demons can make people fall into the illusion of fear. It was also based on this that I finally determined that our opponent was the Black Snake. His illusion must be There are fragments of evil spirits used!”

"Black Snake's biggest mistake was the Londinium man who was lucky enough to survive. It was this mistake that allowed us to lure him out!"

Maena, I have to remind you that the black snake is very dangerous. You may encounter him again in the future. You have to remember that no matter what he says to you, no matter how reasonable his words sound, you cannot believe it. Once you identify with Him, you will become His puppet...so you don’t need to think so much, just draw out your sword and chop Him and that’s it! "

Maena nodded and said: "I understand, sir."

Shen Muke leaned leisurely on the back seat and lightly snapped his fingers.

In the wilderness, a lonely body fell to the ground.

He will be swallowed up by the earth and disappear into nothingness.

The incident in Duolun County is completely over.

Chapter 58 New Year without Year

"The above are the causes and consequences of the Duolun County incident."

In the basement of Londinium, Shen Muke completed the summary and report of Duolun County's mission.

The incident in Duolun County is actually not complicated. However, Black Snake just activated the most inconspicuous card and it has already thrown the security force of a city into chaos, and even almost indirectly controlled the police force of Duolun County. This makes everyone here feel mixed.

Although everything was fine in the end, all this was not

It just seems so simple.

The black snake never left. He was still hiding in the grass like a real poisonous snake, waiting for Victoria, the lion, to accidentally bite him and completely end the life of this empire.

How do you say something?Survival and development are both a kind of luxury, but people who are in luxury are unaware of it.

The same goes for Victoria. Although everyone here cannot deny that Victoria's national power is indeed booming, the slightest change may break this stability and calm.

Victoria is like a giant beast walking on thin ice. It looks majestic, but in fact only she knows the danger.

"What a troubled time..." the Duke of Cumberland sighed.

"Your Majesty the Duke." Mace said: "I still can't understand. Don't we have any countermeasures? How many things has the Black Snake of Ursus done in Victoria? Can we use similar methods? , what about counterattacking Ursus?"

The Duke of Cumberland fell silent. He looked at Kelsey, who understood and took over the words: "At this stage, Victoria cannot take countermeasures."

"why is that?"

"Because of the war." Kelsey said helplessly, "Unlike Victoria, Ursus's national system is very special. Their country is built on war."

"Victoria has a complete economic construction and a relatively stable development route. This is the basis for Victoria to be more prosperous than Ursus today, but this foundation needs to be maintained by a stable situation. In other words, Victoria cannot do it unless it is absolutely necessary. To initiate a war, if it must be fought, Victoria cannot take the initiative.”

"But Ursus is different. Why do you think Black Snake is so unscrupulous? Because he is not afraid of war at all. He is just waiting for Victoria to fall into the quagmire of war so that Ursus can have a chance to expand. This is his Yangmou, we can’t accept it.”

Metz nodded and said: "It's a pity... we can only run so hard like this."

"However, this situation is expected to change soon." Shen Muke waved his hand and asked: "Your Majesty, Duke of Cumberland, how is the situation on the eastern border of Ursus?"

"During the confrontation, the two sides have rubbed against each other several times. It is estimated that the war is about to break out." The Duke of Cumberland replied.

"That's it." Shen Muke nodded and said: "Usas is about to have a war with the Eastern Kingdom. This battle will definitely distract most of Black Snake's attention. At least until the end of the war, Black Snake will not do anything. ”

"The war between Ursus and the Eastern Kingdom?" Leader Arianna was a little confused: "Isn't the Eastern Kingdom a small country? Can they stop Ursus' army? The war won't end soon, right?"
