Chapter 131 The Secret Art of Shadow Killing (Updates with Monthly Tickets)

Accompanied by the rapid and intensive ringing of bells, the entire Custer city-state fell silent like never before.

Whether it was the nobles in the Natoli neighborhood or the struggling poor in the Laos neighborhood, they all stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at the Krimos Cathedral in the center of the city-state.

"Is this a wake-up call?"

"Early warning..."

"The alarm bell of Dawn Church, how, how could it happen?"

"What the hell? Why don't you pack your things quickly and head to the underground defense shelter?!"

I don't know who reacted and shouted, and then everyone started to move.

"Run!"

"Damn it, I just arrived in Custer City State, why am I so unlucky to encounter such a thing?"

"Stop talking nonsense and get out of here before it's too late!"

In just an instant, the entire city-state switched from silence to boiling.

Their heartbeats were like the sound of bells, rapid and powerful, for fear that if they ran too slowly they would be hit by the legendary crisis.

Regardless of their previous status, whether they were nobles, poor people, or middle class...

Under this warning, they all turned into the same appearance - weak!

At this time, outside the high wall in the northeast of the city of Custer.

"Has it started?" Poulsen stood on the head of a dark vicious dog and heard the bell.

Next to him, standing on the deep evil dog, was a man also wearing a dark green robe and a black gold-patterned mask. He said in a hoarse voice: "Leave the north to you, I'll go to the east."

"Okay," Poulsen said calmly, looking at the high walls of Custer City State, "The adults have been waiting for a long time."

"Let's go and have a good meal!"

The other person stamped his feet, and the dark vicious dog under him howled and ran out.

Poulsen watched him go away, and took more than a dozen equally ferocious deep evil dogs behind him to the north of the city of Custer.

At the same time, outside the port to the west of Basil Block, more than a dozen three-masted sailboats were stationary on the sea, blowing with the wind and waves of the Cordo Sea.

Some of them look like they have just experienced battle, and their hulls are covered with wooden boards of various colors.

Some of the ships were bloated, with huge cannons placed on the decks, and hundreds of well-trained sailors looking seriously in the direction of the city of Custer.

It looked more like a giant steel beast. The deck and hull were covered with thick steel plates, and there were two large chimneys emitting white smoke on both sides of the hull.

Various mechanical weapons were arranged neatly on both sides of the front deck. Some were like giant turrets, and some were giant crossbows. The crossbows were still shining with the light of runes.

It looks like a fortress from a distance.

The church bells came here from the faint wind, and the entire fleet fell silent for a moment, as if they had received some kind of signal.

"start sailing!"

"start sailing!"

"Woo-"

These ships of various shapes slowly sailed towards the city of Custer.

"Following the orders of the great Black Pearl, all Custer ships are prohibited from sailing on the west coast!"

Following the order, the sailors on the ship, no, it should be said that the pirates, all showed ferocious smiles and shouted and cheered.

"The great Overlord of the Cordo Sea, Isabello!"

"You can kill them to your heart's content!"

But in the south of the city-state of Custer, it seemed extremely peaceful at this time.

"Praise Lady Storm!"

An old man wearing a dark blue robe couldn't help but smile as he looked at the high wall in the distance, especially those who fled in panic.

"Master Bishop, he, he really did it?"

Behind him, rows of people were wearing armor of the same color as the old man, with the storm logo printed on their chests - a slender figure standing proudly in the wind and waves.

"certainly."

"That……"

The old man turned around and glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and take your people over to greet her. They are all devout believers of Lady Storm!"

"This shouldn't be the case, right?"

The old man looked at him and showed two rows of white teeth, "You should believe that if they are not, then you will have no choice but to accept the summons of Lady Storm."

"Please rest assured, Lord Bishop, they can only and must be devout believers of Lady Storm!"

"It's best..."

The old man looked in the direction of Custer City State again, and could vaguely see a section of the spire exposed on the high wall.

Dawn...dawn!

…

…

"Teacher, is there really a level 4 disaster coming?" Carly settled down with Euan and couldn't wait to run to the chapel inside the church.

Andrews did not look back, his eyes were still fixed on the statue in front of him, and he slowly spoke in a low and powerful voice: "Carly, you are now a candidate saint. You must always remember the teachings of Dawn."

Carly had already taken off the uniform of the investigator of the Secret Investigation Department and put on the dress worn at the ceremony, which was sacred and noble.

Before that, she was extremely anxious.

But after arriving at this chapel, under the gaze of the statue of the Lord of the Dawn and the portraits of the eight Guardians of the Dawn, any strange emotions were instantly soothed.

"Teacher, can you tell me what is going to happen?"

"This is not something you should know now... Follow Melbell, he will take you where you should go."

"Where should I go? Do you want me to leave here?" A trace of solemnity flashed through Carly's eyes that had just regained their composure.

Although Bishop Andrews didn't answer, she was sure something big was going on at Dawn.

"Of course, your destination is not Custer, but the sacred authority."

authority……

What's the use of having that authority if she can't even do what she wants?

Carly shook her head, "I won't leave!"

"Be obedient, child." Andrews turned around, "Please forgive my disrespect, and please allow me to call you this for the last time. I am very happy to teach students like you before receiving the great call of Him. "

"Summoning?" Carly was shocked, and regardless of the occasion, she stepped forward and took his hand, "Teacher, when did it happen?"

"What is supposed to come will always come," said Andrews with a familiar loving smile on his face, "You should be happy for me, this is the great blessing of the dawn."

"Let's go, get out of here, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"I……"

"Your Majesty Bishop," at this time, Melbell suddenly appeared beside the two of them, "I also suggest that Your Majesty stay here."

"Melbel, you have crossed the line!"

Andrews turned his body sideways, with his back to Carly, and half of his body was submerged in the shadow of the Lord of the Dawn statue.

Under this shadow, the smile on his face was strangely split into two, with one side being kind and the other side being eerie.

Melbell bowed slightly and said, "Sorry."

"Teacher, you said, let me follow Melbell." Carly walked around Andrews, stood next to the guardian knight, and said firmly: "I will follow him and will stay here!"

Andrews was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the statue again, "It's okay to look at that scene... remember, never run around."

Carly was overjoyed and said, "Teacher, please don't worry, I will protect myself."

"I hope..."

The guardian knight took a step back, disappeared into the shadows, and stared at Carly from an imperceptible corner.

Your Majesty, this will be a perfect trial.

…

…

Just when Carly decided to stick to Krims Cathedral, she was in the Secret Brewing Department of Dumitru Block 102, not far away.

Everyone stood neatly outside the detention area just like they saw off Director Alais yesterday.

But unlike yesterday, the number of people was less than half of yesterday's.

"Damn bastards, they are all on the side of the Ernst family..." Marco glanced around and cursed in a low voice.

"You should be happy," Lacey looked forward. "Wouldn't this highlight your alternativeness?"

Marco: "..."

Alternative?

Are you saying that Nascimento and all of them support the Ernst family, but he is the only one missing the heir?

That's really different...

Wayne didn't notice the conversation between Lacey and the two, and didn't even notice that the number of people was reduced by more than half. He was too busy thinking about how to get rid of Black Jack.

Along the way from the logistics department to the detention area, whenever he deviates from the route, a murderous intention prompt will appear on the panel.

This basically confirmed his suspicion - Black Jack's target was indeed one of him and Tina!

No rush, no rush, no rush...

In just one second, or even less, he could take Tina and hide in the clown theater.

Hold on, hold on!

"Wayne, Wayne?"

"What's wrong, captain?" Wei En came back to his senses and saw Lacey standing in front of him half turning to look at him.

"If there is a fight, you must take Tina and follow me closely, understand?" Lacey reminded him seriously, not paying attention to his distraction.

"Yes." Wei En shook the white-haired girl's little hand.

"If you are worried, I will be responsible for protecting them." Old Jack looked at Wei En and the others with concern, "Let me contribute one last effort."

"..."

The corner of Wei En's mouth twitched slightly. Isn't it necessary?

Don't promise him, Captain Lacey!

"Old Jack, this is not something I can decide." Lacey shook his head, "You know, when Si Li summoned you, he also made all arrangements."

"That's true..." Old Jack touched the short gray hair on his head and did not insist anymore. It seemed that he was just making a suggestion casually.

so far so good……

Wei En felt a little relieved, but he was even more wary of Black Jack. This man was really evil-minded!

At this time, Nifa hurriedly came with a group of senior members of the Secret Adjustment Department and ministers from various ministries.

Everyone stopped talking and looked forward seriously, waiting for their orders quietly.

Except for Wei En, who has little experience, everyone else knows that when a city-state is in crisis, the chance of surviving by escaping is not high. It is better to fight with the large army.

"Everyone," Nifa faced everyone, her voice was low but could be heard clearly by everyone, "We don't know what will happen next."

"But it is certain that everyone in the city-state, including us, will face an unprecedented crisis!"

She said without unnecessary nonsense, "I hope we can solve it together!"

[You are under the mental perception scan of Nefa Letitia Ellis. Comments: ...do you have a strange feeling? Reward: Survival Points +3. 】

Strange feeling?

Wei En secretly wondered, what does it mean?

Is there anything wrong with Director Nifa’s perception?

"Now, the specific arrangements are as follows."

"Deputy Director Balazs, lead all the investigators summoned back and guard the west entrance of Dumitru Block."

"Deputy Director Dolf, you and Minister Abbott, go to the northwest entrance!"

"Deputy Director Berenik, you lead the temporarily sealed polluters to protect the southwest..."

It didn't take long for everyone to receive the task arrangement, and those with stronger combat capabilities, such as the Investigation Department and the Combat Department, were arranged to the east, closer to the Cathedral of Krims.

Wei En was overjoyed. The bastard Black Jack was placed to the west, far enough for him to escape.

As long as he is patient, absolutely!

Immediately afterwards, everyone began to receive various equipment issued by the Property Management Department, which even included some mechanical weapons that had been stored in the collection room.

Only then did Wei En notice those people walking out of the sealed area.

Among them was Roget, whom he had met once when he first joined the company.

It's just that these people all have some distortions on their bodies, and some even have most of their bodies turned into disgusting tentacles.

"Roget..." Marco also saw Roget and the others, shook his head and sighed, silently checking the equipment on his body.

But Old Jack hadn't left yet, and returned to them after picking up the equipment.

"Why don't you go to Deputy Director Balazs?" Lacey looked at him doubtfully, "Old Jack, now is not the time to be willful. Wait until the matter is over..."

"I'll go later," Old Jack interrupted, raising his hand.

"Pass……"

"ah--"

At this moment, a scream sounded, alarming everyone.

Immediately afterwards, Director Nifa's voice appeared, "It's the Shadow Killer. Everyone works in pairs, back to back, and watch your steps!"

Shadow Killer?

what is that?

Although he was confused, Wei En reacted quickly and quickly moved closer to Marco and pulled Tina to his side.

Lacey and Old Jack stood back to back and reminded in a low voice: "Be careful, the Shadow Killer can attack through the surrounding shadows!"

"clear!"

Wei En quickly observed the shadows around him, holding the newly modified revolver in his hand. The ghosts above them also looked around seriously.

Damn it, Black Jack was attacked before he could leave... Fuck!

【……】

[You are targeted by Jesiah Ledesma’s murderous intent. Rating: ...Reward: +2 Survival Points. 】

In just three seconds, everyone was ready and looking around cautiously.

"Aren't you slow to respond? The ominous people of the Secret Adjustment Department..."

"come out!"

As soon as the voice appeared, Minister Abbott stepped out and punched the shadow behind an investigator.

In an instant, a black shadow shattered and turned into tiny black shadows all over the sky, scattering to everyone around him like raindrops.

"The secret technique of the Shadow Transformer?" Abbott's face darkened and he shouted: "Get out of the way!"

"It's too late..."

I saw those people who were stained by the small black shadows, their bodies were so stiff that they could not move, and they opened their mouths with frightened expressions and wanted to say something.

But before their voices could be heard, their entire bodies and their clothes turned into the color of shadows in a very short period of time, and then their bodies fell into the shadows on the ground like ink and disappeared.

The same secret attack exploded in the crowd from time to time, taking away all the people around who were contaminated by the shadow.

"careful!"

Wayne's mental perception covered the surroundings, and he immediately discovered that the shadow emerged from under Marco, and the force of the impact with his back caused Tina to roll forward.

boom!

Old Jack reacted faster than him, and fired the standard musket in his hand at the black shadow, and the bullet exploded and shattered him.

"asshole!"

When Lacey saw those small black figures, he instantly inserted his ax in front of his body and opened his hands: "Cool and De!"

A shield protected her and Old Jack.

"Balaz, activate the magic circle!"

I can’t write anymore, it’s harder than I thought. There will be a chapter around six o'clock during the day.
