the last king of darkness

Chapter 15 Hahaha

Rhodes walked out with the man in gray under everyone's gaze.

The entire common room was quiet, there was no sound at all.

No one knows about the Internal Affairs Tribunal, its reputation has long since resounded throughout the entire royal city.

But there are only a handful of people who have actually seen it.

To this day, it is the first time that most people see the real House of Justice, the first time they see it take a person.

Or their companions.

Long after Rhodes and the gray-clothed man left, there was no sound in the common room.

It was Wayne crying.

"Will Rhodes come back?"

These words were like turning on a switch, and in an instant, various voices erupted in the lounge.

"is this real?"

"It's not fake, is it?"

"Impossible, it is impossible for the academy to let counterfeiters in, and it is impossible for the ruling badge to be counterfeited."

"My God, Chief Inspector, this is a big man next to the Chief Judge."

"What did he do?"

"I don't know... I heard in the town before that some doomsday cultists deliberately poured corrosive water into the water tank, and the Internal Affairs Tribunal only sent an investigator to arrest them."

"Isn't it?"

It was hard for everyone to imagine what the chief inspector needed to be personally dispatched, talking about the reasons they imagined.

Many people were very optimistic, because the chief inspector looked very polite, and he didn't look like he was catching criminals.

Only Kashan didn't speak, her face was gloomy and uncertain.

-

When the long-awaited trial really came, Rhodes was not so nervous.

The man in gray, Lauren, was also very friendly. The moment he walked out of the lounge door, he smiled and said, "Hi, my husband is full of eyes. Vermeer's white wolf asked me to say hello to you."

Rhodes was a little dazed: "You know this too?"

Lauren smiled and said, "Of course I know, Miss Qingyu told us everything."

His gray eyes gave him a meaningful look.

"Otherwise you would have been subjected to special interrogation in our dungeons."

Rhodes felt a little rejoiced, but also a little worried.

He just said that the white wolf greeted him, but the younger sister Qingyu did not, which proves that his skill is not enough.

Looks like I need to practice more.

Rhodes thought to himself.

The Inspector General seems to be very talkative, maybe it's not as bad as I thought.

The two walked through the tree-lined path and came to the main road of the college. A blue and purple four-wheeled carriage was parked on the side of the road.

It is austere in style, wide in body, and a very standard carriage.

Just no horses.

Lauren opened the door and said with a smile, "Get in the car, Mr. Xiao."

Rhode stepped onto the sill silently and got into the car.

The space in the car was larger than expected, but the benches were made of wood and were very hard.

Lauren then got into the car and sat across from him.

Then, the carriage started.

The wheels made a slight collision sound on the cobbled road, and the scene outside the window moved backwards, and the students on the road made way for it.

No one expressed surprise at the carriage without horses.

"Okay." Rhodes thought, "This is another strange thing in this strange human society."

But on second thought, it's not that surprising.

After all, people here can use even more strange powers, what happened to a carriage without horses?
No cart in my world uses a horse.

Lauren had been watching him with interest until then:
"Rhode of Redstone Village, congratulations on becoming a student of Jinworth College. You are also a fire bearer. I hope you can fight to protect the fire in the future."

Rhodes replied politely: "Thank you, I will."

"But, you know, just being a cadet at Kingworth doesn't exempt you from such a felony."

Rhode's heart trembled slightly.

Lauren looked at him with gray eyes, and her voice was thick and magnetic.

"Rhode, you have to understand that the current evidence is very unfavorable to you. The only reason why you have not entered the prison is the guarantee of the guardian, Your Excellency Qingyu. Although I also support her judgment, the Internal Affairs Court does not accept that Emotions and subjective inferences are used as evidence, and we can only judge based on facts. If your suspicion is large enough, we will initiate a special review."

Rhodes asked nervously, "What about the special review?"

Lauren replied calmly: "Your soul will be destroyed, and your soul and body will be broken. It is difficult for one out of ten people to survive."

Rhodes felt a chill extending from behind.

"Then what should I do now?"

"Do your best to cooperate with my investigation. Your attitude is the key, which is why I came to you today."

Lauren took out a letter from her arms and put it on the table:

"Do you know what this is?"

Rhodes looked carefully, the letter paper was yellow, wrinkled, and the handwriting was clear, but most of the words were incomprehensible.

"do not know."

He looked up to see Lauren's gray eyes staring at him.

"This is a letter you wrote to Gray Cat Alai, the clerk of the Gray Moss Street Office. You used code words in the letter and asked him to put a box at the designated place."

Rhodes felt a little bad.

"I don't remember at all..."

Lauren nodded: "I know, Uther testified for you that your soul state is very complicated. But you can ignite the fire of the soul to prove that its state is within an acceptable range."

Rhodes was a little bit happy, but also a little sad, and asked, "Then are we looking for him now?"

Lauren shook her head: "Alai the gray cat disappeared a long time ago. We only found his body in the sewer on Iron Shield Street yesterday."

Rhode's heart sank, and he had a bad premonition:

"Then what to do? Are there any clues?"

Lauren said: "It was confirmed that the gray cat Alai went to the Blessing Church the day before his disappearance, but the pastor of the Blessing Church was found to be a believer in the doomsday sect and had fled. I used a special method to find a clue, Knowing that he is currently in the vicinity of the outer city area of ​​the lower city, you need to accompany me to investigate."

"Okay." Rhodes agreed without hesitation.

"I remember that you are from the Spark sequence, what is your soul fire?"

Rhodes was a little depressed, and reported the official answer: "Black idiot."

Lauren didn't seem to be smiling, "What is the specific function?"

Rhodes hesitated for a moment, and replied: "I'm not very clear, I feel that my eyes seem a little sharper."

"Ever learned how to fight?"

"No, Mr. Karaman has talked a little about how psionic energy is used in combat, but I haven't done it in actual combat."

Lauren nodded: "It's okay, you follow me, try to use your ability to assist my investigation."

His gray eyes looked at Rhodes.

"Originally, you should go directly to the Internal Affairs Tribunal to accept the questioning, but one of the chief officials in charge of this case is my teacher, the Chief Tribunal Ali Gaili Dan Black Bear, so this is your chance."

Rhodes felt that there seemed to be something in his words. Although he didn't quite understand, he still replied cautiously: "I understand."

A moment later, the horseless cart stopped.

This is a dirty and muddy neighborhood, with dilapidated houses and dimly lit fronts.

Before getting out of the car, Lauren suddenly asked again: "What do you say is your soul fire?"

"Black rice bucket."

"Hahaha."
