long night fire

Shang Jian Yao said truthfully:

"Actually, your IQ is not bad, but you are too conceited, and you don't have a real helper you can trust."

As he spoke, he bent down and saluted, sincerely wishing:

"May you study hard in your next life."

After he finished speaking, he added:

"Hey, I wanted to hang you up and beat you up, but seeing you like this, I'd better forget it."

"Father" Alex made a loud voice in his throat, and seemed to want to respond, saying that you should hang me up and beat me, don't have pity on me, it would make me feel insulted.

But in the end, he didn't say anything, opened his eyes wide, and swallowed his last breath.

……

Major Dukas of the city defense army with exaggerated muscles and his colleague Cassirer led a group of soldiers to a street near Hearst's apartment.

"Really, isn't it just a kidnapping case? Why did you let us come here? Are all the 'Hand of Order' dead?" Cassirer looked around and complained.

The "Hand of Order" is equivalent to the police department of the "First City".

Dukas glanced at his colleagues and said coldly:

"It's not that you don't know the current situation. A little movement in the Golden Apple District will easily disturb the elders. Compared with the 'Hand of Order', our city defense army has significantly stronger personnel and equipment."

As he spoke, drones scoured the surrounding area for clues.

Not long after, a soldier brought over several witnesses.

"What happened?" Dukas asked.

A witness in his 20s quickly replied:

"Report sir, a robot kidnapped a man in the street and dragged him into that alley."

"Robot?" Cassirer blurted out in astonishment.

What can a team with robots do to make money? Kidnapping or robbing?

"Yes, such a tall robot!" Several other witnesses responded in the affirmative.

Dukas nodded slightly and said:

"It seems that things are really not simple..."

……

Nearby area, in another street.

Near the mailbox of a cafe, a brown-haired, blue-eyed man with a sculptural silhouette put his hands in his pockets, watching his subordinates busy.

He is Konstanz, the assistant of the Order Officer of the Golden Apple District. He is 1.8 meters seven and is nearly fifty years old. His sideburns are a bit gray, but his figure is very good. His appearance has accumulated a lot of years on the basis of his handsome appearance in the past. , appear more flavorful.

This made him popular among high society ladies.

"Sir, someone was indeed kidnapped in the street, and his attitude was very arrogant." A security officer reported to Constance.

Constance, who was wearing a black thin windbreaker, nodded and said:

"Is there a portrait of the suspect drawn?"

"Yes." The security officer handed out the paper in his hand.

Constance took a look and found that the kidnapper was a man wearing sunglasses. His face was full of beards, and he looked rough and reckless, but he couldn't tell whether he was from the Red River, the Gray Earth, or a mixed race.

"How dare you kidnap in the Golden Apple District..." Constance whispered silently.

This is the area with the most surveillance cameras.

Although it is not as good as the legendary "Mechanical Paradise", it is enough.

Not long after, Constance received the reward and blurted out in surprise and anger:

"What? The cameras in this area were broken at the same time?"

……

When he went to the alley mentioned by the informant, Theodore, another assistant of the Order Officer of the Golden Apple District, saw the person he didn't want to see.

Sheriff Wall like a wall.

They had conflicts in the first year of joining "Hand of Order", and later because of their respective backgrounds and abilities, no one could do anything to each other.

It turned out that Theodore was finally promoted and became the assistant of the order officer, who could overwhelm Wall, but this guy actually married the youngest daughter of the new veteran Gaius.

"Why are you here?" Theodore snorted.

Wall, who is like a wall, said with a smile:

"Outside that alley is my jurisdiction, I have to come."

He looked at Theodore's eyes, which were as hard to move as woodcarvings, and shook his head in his heart.

Theodore was of medium height, of ordinary features, with black hair and brown eyes, the only distinguishing feature.

As the deputy of the Order Officer, he no longer needs to wear a gray-blue uniform all the time, and he can choose his favorite clothes.

Today, he is wearing a shirt, trousers and a black vest.

Surrounded by a security officer, Theodore and Wall walked through an apartment building and entered the alley with high walls on the left and right.

Of course, they could also choose to come in from both sides of the apartment, but that would waste a lot of time.

After walking along the alley for a certain distance, a figure appeared in front of Theodore and Wall at the same time.

The figure was wearing very ordinary clothes, covered in blood, lying quietly against the wall, no longer breathing.

His face completely lost its luster, but the dark circles under his eyes were still obvious, and his eyes were wide open unwillingly.

There was a wide bloodstain on the road ahead of him, as if he had been dragged to his current position.

Someone also pasted a piece of white paper on his chest, and on the white paper were two printed sentences in Honghe language:

"I am 'Father.

"I'm guilty."

"Father"... The pupils of Wall and Theodore dilated at the same time.

Chapter 70 Reporting

Theodore and Wall are no strangers to the name "Father".

The assassination of Elder Sols made the entire "Hand of Order" lose face, and the middle and upper classes couldn't hold their heads up in front of the nobles for a long time.

It's not that they haven't thought about catching this cult elite, and it's not that they haven't worked hard for it, but they went around, but they couldn't find the real "priest"—the combination of "memory tampering" and "hypnosis" Once this awakened person who has not really grown up leaves the scene, it is like a drop of water returning to the sea, and there is no way to lock it.

The "Hand of Order" mobilized many awakened people and adopted various methods, but they could still only catch fake "priests" and ordinary puppets who were not even considered fake "priests".

And today, suddenly, they saw the dead body of "Father".

The corpse was manipulated into a penitent appearance, with a blank paper confessing guilt pasted on its chest.

Wall and Theodore, who can be called well-informed, doubted their eyes a little at this moment.

Is the real "priest" so easy to find and kill?

"Could it still be a fake 'priest'..." Wall whispered after a few seconds.

Theodore turned his head and glanced at this colleague because his eyeballs did not move:

"It is impossible for the person who killed him not to confirm. Since he dares to write like this, he must be very sure."

Wall admitted that what Theodore said made sense, but he was unwilling to say so, and whispered:

"If I were the 'shepherd' Bouillon of the 'Anti-Intellectual Cult', I would introduce another 'priest' right away, saying that the dead one is a fake."

Theodore responded coldly:

"It's not that we haven't collected the fingerprints of the real 'priest'. Isn't it clear after comparing them?"

That was the clue left by the real "priest" in the matter of assassinating Elder Sols.

At the same time, there are other biological materials.

While speaking, Theodore stepped forward with both feet, and walked step by step towards the corpse lying against the wall with its head hanging slightly.

Wall followed suit.

As soon as they approached, they saw two people lying at the corner of the alley.

These two people were somewhat similar to the corpses, and there was also a blank sheet of paper pasted on their chests.

On the white paper is the same sentence:

"We are coerced criminals."

"I also caught a fake 'priest'..." Wall whispered in amazement.

Was "Father" taken over by someone this time?

Theodore looked at the two puppets, then looked back at the corpse, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He quickly thought of the recent activity of the "Anti-Intellectual Sect" and the current tense situation in the original city, and immediately sneered and said:

"'Father' seems to have offended people or forces that he shouldn't have offended."

Wall stared at the corpse quietly for a while, then slowly exhaled:

"Hurry up and report to Chief Derian, let him find a professional to confirm."

Derian was the order officer of the Golden Apple District in the original city, and Theodore's immediate boss, but due to the particularity of this district, he was at the same level as the city's law enforcement officers, and only obeyed the "hand of order" Order.

Similarly, Theodore and Constance, the assistants to the order officer, can directly serve as order officers if they are transferred to other districts, and if they are willing to go to large settlements on the border, they can even become the highest level of order in a city. sir.

Theodore did not refute, nodded and said:

"Hope it's the real 'Father.'"

……

They pretended to be different and evacuated separately. After getting on the rented crimson off-road in the distance, Long Yuehong asked in disbelief:

"Did you really kill 'Father'?"

"He saw that he couldn't escape, so he wanted to die." Jiang Baimian didn't have the slightest awareness that death is the most important thing, and sneered, "He thought we would care about this? What we want is his death!"

Shang Jianyao agreed:

"Once you join the 'anti-intellectual teaching', your IQ will be a passerby from then on."

Long Yuehong breathed a sigh of relief, and asked a question that she wanted to ask before but was too embarrassed to ask:

"Leader, why do you have to use a fake fire to force out the real 'priest'? In fact, you can find a way to blow up the water pipes here, or block the sewer of the Alpha Building. In that way, the real 'priest' who has long-term diarrhea will definitely take the initiative Going downstairs and going to the public restroom is unbearable, and he can't let the puppet go to the toilet instead of him."

This time, it was not Jiang Baimian who was responsible for the explanation, but Bai Chen:

"That would leave enough time for the real 'priest' to make a disguise. Although wearing a pair of sunglasses in broad daylight is more suspicious, he still has other ways to cover up the more obvious features. We can't distinguish him very well because of his features like leaning and staggering a little when he walks.

"Although there are not many such people, there will not be only one or two.

"Only by using a fake fire can the 'priest' feel the urgency and have no time to do more."

Water and fire are ruthless, and if you delay for a second, it may be difficult to escape. Although the real "priest" thinks that he is beyond the ordinary, he does not think that he can resist the fire. This cannot be "hypnotized", and his memory cannot be tampered with. , unless he has turned himself into a mechanical monk.

Clap, clap, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands for Bai Chen.

After the applause subsided, Bai Chen added another sentence:

"It's not like there's no other way, I'm not in favor of blowing the mains.

"Water resources are precious."

At this moment, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao nodded at the same time.

They apparently thought so too.

"Which safe house shall we go to next?" Long Yuehong asked a new question.

Shang Jianyao said firmly while shaking the small bag containing this harvest:

"Go send a telegram, I want to tell my good brother Xu Liyan, so that he doesn't have to worry about the real 'priest' anymore."

"Well, I'll also send a letter to Mr. Zhao to let him know what to do next, so as not to make mistakes when communicating with General Phocas." Given the choice, Jiang Baimian has always been a good relic hunter from beginning to end.
