Primordial Sequence

The cold wind was biting. Anna patted her stiff face and looked into the distance. She saw the city of Creighton covered in silver. Looking at the unevenly layered houses, she looked like a dwarf standing there quietly.

"The 33rd is up." Anna looked at the list in her hand with a heavy heart. 33 families had lost their children in just a few days. The Bureau even offered a huge reward internally, with potions from Stages 3 and 4 as rewards. Among them, exactly There is a recipe for Sequence Nine, which is exactly what Anna needs urgently.

"It turns out that the third stage of the ninth stage of the sequence is called 'The Punisher'. I have found some clues, but my ability is not enough to deal with him. The follower is worse than me, so I can't count on him." After complaining, Anna turned around Walking towards the Bureau of Investigation headquarters, she only hoped that they would take her inference seriously.

After returning to a place with a splendid building complex, Anna greeted people and walked in. The person in charge was an old blond man with a pipe in his hand. Even in his old age, his hair was meticulously taken care of. When he saw When Anna came in, the old man quickly put down the book in his hand and looked at Anna seriously.

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to investigate that messy thing? Is there any result?"

"Mr. TOEFL, it's not a good habit to look at female models during working hours. With your conditions, there should be no shortage of girls. How about sneaking around every day?" Anna complained silently when she saw a magazine called "Coast Time" on the table. The magazine exclusively published by 'District 9' does have its own merits. It is said that it was taken by a new creation called 'camera'. This is an item recently developed by District 9, which can capture a person instantly. Drawn on a piece of paper, it became a hit in the Republic of Drav as soon as it was released. Its inventor is still an acquaintance, Master Casca, a new genius from District 9. He has the ability to remember photographs and keen mechanical construction skills. Compared with In the past, he used oil paintings and sculptures to record portraits, and he was indeed unique.

"It's fun to be sneaky. Besides, I'm old and my body is not like you young people. What's wrong? Your follower didn't follow you today?" The old man picked up his pipe and took a puff, then leaned back to find some comfort. Lying down in a comfortable position, he looked at Anna with a comfortable expression.

"No, he has been busy selecting team members since he was promoted. At present, it seems that the Investigation Bureau wants him to lead a team, but I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing." Anna pulled up a stool and sat down. Mr. Tofu was pretty good to the team members. He had announced early on that there was no need to stand to report the situation to him.

"It's a pity that you were originally the best candidate, but you refused. I am very optimistic about you, but since you pursue freedom, I won't force you. Everyone will grow up, and that little follower should also realize the importance of responsibility. Sex." Old Tofu said while puffing, and he even took a few sugar cubes from the drawer and handed them to Anna, having already put one in his mouth.

"Thank you. I don't need it. I don't think you should eat that much sugar at your young age. It is said that you have a sweet tooth disease now, which is very painful."

Old Tofu said with a look of enjoyment, "If you don't eat, you won't have to eat anymore. My life was picked up. I just hope that we live until retirement. Well... there is about a month left. By the way, you want What are you reporting to me?"

Anna's eyes drooped when she heard this. There is no tomorrow for extraordinary people. Every extraordinary person doesn't know what tomorrow will be like. Maybe someone who is good today will be gone tomorrow. She immediately remembered the person who always had a smile. Mr. Camus, he is sometimes cold, sometimes calm, and sometimes always smiling. He is caring and cruel. In her opinion, he is a completely changeable and complex person.

"What? You won't tell me? Is it very secretive?" Seeing Anna thinking deeply, Old Tofu reminded her after taking a sip of coffee.

"No, I thought of a person. Combining my previous and current conclusions, I inferred that the other person should be a sealed object, a sealed object with a similar ability to Sequence 11, at least level two or above."

"Are you talking about resuscitation?" Old Tofu became more energetic when he heard this. Not only were they looking, the Adventurers Guild, the Church of the Sun, and the Society for the Protection of Magical Creatures were all looking for traces of the other party, but they couldn't find him at all with extraordinary means. So much so that they suspected that the other party was a makeup artist, but Anna's reminder suddenly made him think of a possibility. The "completely revived sealed object" had autonomous consciousness. They previously ruled out this possibility because a sealed object with autonomous consciousness at least It is a top-level second-level or even first-level sealed object, but there is no record of that sealed object being lost or revived.

"Yes... no matter it is a 'male bloody witch', she can still avoid the prying eyes of makeup artists. This kind of thing that does not conform to the sequence characteristics can only happen to sealed objects, so I infer that the other party is a newly revived sealed object. Compare His previous killing methods, his current methods are more violent. I used my 'soul-inducing lamp' to find some traces before. He climbed up and walked on the ceiling. This is not in line with normal people's behavioral norms. That is, from that time on, Crichton experienced a mass disappearance, and I concluded that he completed his recovery at that time.”

After hearing this, the old man Toofu took a sip from his pipe. The missing people so far are all children, and there are no extraordinary people involved. If the other party is really a first-level sealed object, is there such a covert murder?

"What's the possibility if it's a first-level sealed object?"

"The first-level seal has three layers, and the second-level seal has seven layers. If it was a first-level seal, he would not have killed so secretly, so I infer that his ability has limitations. Compared with the description of the first-level seal revival, the second level is more in line with his characteristics, and the other party's target is a child. We can start from this aspect and set a trap." Anna said her plan, which is also the reason why she came back. The second-level seal is still too far away for her. Only major organizations can handle such things. Even to some extent, the investigation team has to ask the organization to teach.

"How sure are you that the other party is a seal?"

"Nine layers..." Anna spoke immediately, and Toefl put down his pipe. After a while, he whispered.

"I will report it. As for whether it can attract attention, it is not something I can interfere with. After all, only 33 people are missing."

"Mr. Toefl, now there are 35 people. The police station has received another report and two more are missing." A middle-aged lady dressed exquisitely in a black uniform walked in. She interrupted Toefl and handed the information to Toefl.

"Another child? What on earth is the other party going to do?" Toefel didn't care about the interruption of the lady. He frowned after seeing two more missing children.

"Please think about it seriously. I'm leaving first." Seeing Toefel's thoughts surging, Anna stood up and said goodbye. She had said what she should say. If what she said was true, it would be a great merit, at least enough for her to replace the Punisher's potion.

As soon as Anna went out, she saw the follower with a red face frozen in the heavy snow. He was standing at the door of the investigation team. When he saw her come out, he ran all the way over.

"Hi... Ms. Anna, I heard from my team members that you are here. Are you interested in having lunch together?"

Seeing him, Anna was a little helpless. She had seen this guy's stickiness and lingering ability during this period. She thought he would have no time after becoming a team leader. It seems that she thought too much.

"Okay, I'll treat you. I just want to tell you something." After thinking about it, Anna decided to tell the follower about her discovery. After all, it was a second-level sealed object, so it was better to stay away.

"It's my honor." The follower smiled and said, and the two rushed to a nearby restaurant. Although a large number of children had disappeared, compared with the population base of Creighton City, these disappearances would not cause panic. Anna found a place by the window on the roadside and ordered something casually. "Have you found the information I asked you to check?" After sitting down, Anna looked at the follower Ogri and looked over with hope. Ogri's face fell, and he spoke with a dark face. "Because of the incident in Caddick City, it was very chaotic there, and most of the people in the sequence hid very well, so it was the same as not checking. Therefore, the person who stole your friend's body cannot be found by conventional means. You need the help of a makeup artist, but the price of a makeup artist..." Ogri was silent at this point. There are few makeup artists in the kingdom, which also leads to high prices for them to predict certain things. "I know." Hearing this, Anna, who was mentally prepared, retracted her gaze. After he said this, she turned her gaze to the window. At this moment, she found a little boy making a snowman on the road. She immediately glanced at him, and suddenly a pair of skinny white claws stretched out from the open sewer and instantly dragged the little boy in. The little boy didn't even have time to scream. The people around seemed to have no idea. They walked on their own. Anna, who witnessed all this, stood up immediately. As if feeling her gaze, in the dark open sewer, a man with red hair, burns on the corners of his mouth, and black eyeshadow around his eyes looked over, and the two looked at each other in the air. "Ah..." Anna suddenly heard a piercing laugh in her ear, and she suddenly felt her head explode. Her head was immediately hit by an invisible force, and the soul-guiding lamp hidden beside her suddenly appeared, instantly pulling Anna into the darkness. Ogri, who had just finished drinking coffee, raised his head and found that Anna, who was there just now, was gone. He frowned and looked to the side, but the people around him were talking to themselves, and there was nothing unusual.

"Uh... I just drank a sip of coffee, why is she gone?"

"Bang..." Ogri had just finished complaining when he saw Anna, who was bleeding from all seven orifices, suddenly appeared on the stool out of thin air. Her face was extremely pale and looked very scary. Ogri stood up and looked around vigilantly.

"No need to look, he is gone. My guess is right, it is indeed a seal." Seeing his attitude, Anna took the lace handkerchief and wiped her face and spoke in a low voice. She had just suffered a mental attack. Although it looked miserable, it was not a big problem. Fortunately, the soul-guiding lamp came out to protect herself, otherwise she would not die or be disabled today.

"What happened?" Hearing Anna's words, Ogri, who felt cold all over, looked at Anna in shock. What happened to Anna just a few seconds ago? What seal?

"The disappearance case... was caused by the seal, and I can confirm that the other party is in a fully revived state. This is what I was going to tell you. Stay away from him. This is not a battle we should be involved in." Anna looked at the red-stained handkerchief and spoke. He even planned to hide for a while. The red-haired man gave him an extreme sense of danger.
