Chapter 123

Some people in the conference room gave a low exclamation. This is not a treacherous sea battlefield. A small-scale sea battle may kill hundreds of people.

Newport is not only the first port city in the Kingdom, but also a military port with the most elite naval fleet in the kingdom! It has always been prosperous and open, and it is also a window to the outside world.

The number of victims in one night is as high as 45, which is enough to cause a major earthquake in "port New Zealand".

Ignoring the whispers of the audience after hearing this figure, Miss Lola continued:

"the victims have no common characteristics, including workers, businessmen, the elderly, children, girls, students and nobles, and almost all the people.

Moreover, the perpetrators were very rampant and left the body in place directly after the attack. According to our agents, every victim's body is, um... How to describe it, very abstract! "

Hear her expression strange spit out "abstract" this adjective, I do not know how, all of you feel behind the cool.

"Madam, do you have any clue or guess now? Who on earth made such a murder? "

A representative of the aristocratic Association seemed to think of something. He stood up and asked solemnly.

At the same time, the faces of the participants over 30 years old in the conference room are a little unnatural.

"I'm very sorry, sir. We don't have any witnesses or clues, and we don't know who the criminal is. The criminals are like ghosts. They appear out of thin air and disappear out of thin air after committing crimes. If it wasn't for lack of clue, the city hall wouldn't turn to you for help! "

At the end of the speech, some people have put forward their own ideas, and it's still the gentleman of the aristocratic Association:

"I think we should blockade the city and find out this audacious murderer!"

"Yes, there is no crime that leaves no trace at all. We will launch all our forces to search every corner of the city, and we will be able to find out the murderer and avenge the people who died! "

"..."

led by the representatives of the aristocratic Association, although they are denouncing the criminals, they intentionally or unintentionally characterize the incident as an ordinary serial homicide in advance, but at most the number of victims is more than usual.

Some of the lower level participants were inspired by their words, and also followed in support.

However, this kind of irresponsible argument has aroused one's dissatisfaction.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The tapping of their fingers on the conference table interrupted their next conversation.

The representative of the crow army, an old man with straight back and sharp eyes stood up although his hair was a little gray.

He held the table in his hands and looked around at everyone with Eagle like eyes. An indescribable momentum rose from him and enveloped the whole conference room.

Silent...

"Oh! Although I don't really want to admit it, as the chief officer of crow man guarding the dark side of this city, I have to remind you who are forgetful.

The tragedy eight years ago can't be avoided again because we are like ostriches, drilling our heads into the sand and pretending we can't see!

In particular, some of us should review our words and deeds to see if they will mislead you and create more trouble for the real solution of the problem. "

After hearing the old man's words, the big people in the audience suddenly came up with key words and vivid pictures. What I tried to forget quickly reappears from the bottom of my heart, and is clearer than ever!

"Eight years ago? Serial murders? "The murderer incident?"

"The wells family?"

"Sacrifice to evil gods?"

"Fallen god of Opera!"

The representative of the aristocratic Association took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead. He said reluctantly, "you're joking, sir. The Welsh family, which has been associated with evil spirits, has disappeared as early as eight years ago. How can those damned "killers" come out again at this time? "

Dessel, the crow man of Newport, didn't even bother to look at him. As a barrier between mortals and the extraordinary world, how could he not know what kind of role these guys of the aristocratic association played in that incident? At this time, the event repeats, how can he give these guys a good look?

Just as he was about to continue his reasoning, suddenly a voice rang out in the conference room.

"It's the death box!

Eight years ago, after the Welsh family offered sacrifices to the evil god, they temporarily held the last box and disappeared again! "

The speaker, a representative of the Royal Naval Academy, stood up and bowed slightly to the audience.

"Princeton headmaster caught the fluctuation of that box in our city because of its ability explosion. Unfortunately, he went a little late. After that, although he kept tracking, he could never find it again.It wasn't until the "dead soul box" really released the killers that we were sure that it didn't leave. Instead, it was hiding in a corner of Newport. "

When he spoke, his eyes were also on the side of the aristocratic alliance. Although the box ran away ahead of time, it was hard to hide the bodies of hunters and private soldiers everywhere.

It's easy to guess what happened here...

it's obvious that the aristocratic Association, or some of its members, knew the whereabouts of the death box much earlier than the people present.

But with some private idea, he didn't report it to the police. Instead, he wanted to take it for himself. It doesn't matter if they have ambition, at least they have the ability to match their ambition.

But with the emergence of "killers", it has shown that their failure is very thorough. This makes people a little angry, angry at their recklessness, even more angry because of their incompetence and have to clean up the mess!

It's just that it's not the time to investigate the responsibility for the time being. We'll settle the crisis before we do the liquidation.

For a moment, there was silence in the huge conference room.

The well-known "dead soul box" almost no one here does not know. A few people who experienced it eight years ago know this in detail.

Because in just eight years, it is far from enough to erase the damage that this strange thing has brought to the city, as well as the deep scars left in people's hearts.

"Do you have any evidence to prove that the" dead soul box "has appeared again?

You know, if the "dead soul box" reappears, it means that this incident involves an evil god, which is enough to rate it as a "disaster event". We have to report it to the kingdom! "

When he took office eight years ago, Murdoch, the consul of Newport, who did not know the whole story of the incident, stood up and asked.

In this matter, as the manager of the city, he must be the first responsible person, so he has to consider it carefully.
