after waking up.

The expansion of the world in chapter 17
There was no accident. The story of the perverted murderer kidnapping the child and brutally killing it was published in the Valentine Daily, but I have to say that this storm helped the Valentine Police Department.

From the next day, the storm became more exaggerated than the previous night, making it difficult for the residents of Valentine to go out. Naturally, the sale of the Valentine's Daily was also greatly restricted, and the news of the homicide was also limited. spread, reducing the pressure on the Valentine Police Department.

It's just that the windy weather also affected the police station's plan to arrest criminals, and the perverted murderer was injured and encountered such bad weather, and he would definitely not be able to commit the crime again in a short period of time.

Three days have passed, because the hygienic conditions of the hospital in Mulan are not very good, which is not conducive to the recovery of the injury, and Leo is really fed up with the food in the hospital, so after staying for two days, he just chose to reduce the wind. It was time to hire a carriage to return home.

But no one thought that the storm did not weaken and disappear after that. That day, the wind reduced just like a buffer before the storm. Starting today, not only did the wind become more exaggerated, but also mixed with very scary lightning and heavy rain.

"Boom"

The thunder sounded outside the window, the pouring rain fell, and the strong wind and heavy rain completely cut off the desire of ordinary people to go out.

In the Jonester's kitchen, water was boiling on the stove, and some change of bandages were drying on a small shelf by the fire.

Leo lay on a chaise-longue by the fire, with a quilt up and down, and felt warm and comfortable with the fire toasting, with a plate on his knees of old Buck's goodies small biscuits.

Leo ate a small cookie, looked at the thunder and thunder and pouring rain outside the window, and thanked him.

"Fortunately, I came back, otherwise this ghost weather would have been in the hospital, and it would have driven me crazy!"

Mulan was sitting at the dining table on the side, and there were several newspapers on the dining table, all of them were the recent Valentine's Daily, which had information on the disappearance and homicide. It is described as police officer Jonest and his younger brother wounding a vicious criminal together, which is regarded as saving some face for the police department.

However, Mulan's attention was not on the case, but on the forecast of this big storm in the Valentine's Daily.

"Mulan, what are you looking at? Do you expect them to catch that guy now?"

Although Leo was a detective of the Valentine Police Department, he had no intention of saving face for his colleagues. Mulan glanced at him.

"I look at the weather news. Meteorologists thought the storm would weaken immediately, but today the paper said it might last for a while."

"Master Mulan, we have enough food at home, please don't worry."

Mulan put down the newspaper and stood up, approached the window and looked outside. The ferocious rain was testing Valentine's urban drainage system. Even if there was no standing water, the rainwater was so dense that the road outside looked like a more like water.

"I'm not worried about the reserves at home, nor about the murderer. I'm thinking about when the rain will stop, when will the storm stop, and whether Valentine's drainage system can withstand this test."

ah?Oh yes!

Leo just wanted to understand something, but Mulan said another sentence.

"But even if Valentine's old drainage system can't handle it, the rain will pool and flow into the harbour and into the sea without flooding."

Leo was obviously stunned for a moment, and he couldn't keep up with Mulan's thoughts. Recently, he sometimes felt that his IQ was suppressed by his younger brother, and his thinking reaction was far less than that of his younger brother who had bullied him since childhood.

At the Valentin Harbor Wharf, there is no loading and unloading business at this moment, and there are few large ships docked at the dock. Some small boats fluctuate violently with the waves hitting the harbor, and the sea in the distance is constantly churning in the violent storm.

The city has endured a lot of rain in a short period of time, and many of them converged along the road to the pier, like small rivers with knee-deep water rushing into the sea.

This "river water" passed through every corner of the city, and it swept a lot of garbage, which looked dirty, and even polluted a large area of ​​seawater near the pier.

However, in this bad weather, there is not no one outside the pier, in fact there are not only one, but their location is absolutely extremely surprising.

In a warehouse building closest to the dock, there were two people standing firmly on the roof platform. Except for the hem of the clothes, which was rapidly shaking in the wind, it seemed that the storm had no effect on them, and they didn't even shake.

One of the two was wearing a black dress, dressed as a gentleman, and held a black umbrella in their hands. Holding the umbrella in this violent storm, the umbrella was held extremely smoothly and did not turn over.

Another man was also standing under the umbrella, enjoying the service of the gentleman holding the umbrella, wearing a white priest's uniform with gold threads in the details.

Of course, the umbrella couldn't stop the rain, but the clothes on the two were not too wet. Their eyes were looking at the sea outside the pier not far away, or the polluted "Black Sea".

In the sight of the two, occasionally a huge shadow can be seen twisting under the turbid sea.

"Your Excellency, it seems that the situation is similar to what we expected. The inner world has become active. Well, what do you think that shadow in the sea is?"

The bishop had been praying silently with his hands folded over his chest, but only when he heard these words did he open his mouth.

"No matter what it is, it is a tangible and intangible thing. It is as far away as a nightmare and reality for ordinary people. It is not a real threat. It is necessary to pay attention to those evil pagans. Since they can really sacrifice successfully, they must be in their hands. There are 'sacred objects', please pay attention to the sergeant."

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency, Bishop, we will handle it properly, and there is no need to trouble His Excellency to make a trip in person."

The bishop turned his head to look seriously at the dignified noble gentleman in front of him, and took a long time to look back.

"May the Light bless you, Ser Walton, then I'll take my leave."

"Okay, also may the Holy Light bless you, Your Excellency!"

The Bishop nodded, turned and walked towards the gate behind the platform, and Sir Walton followed with an umbrella, not stopping until he entered the room, then turned to look out to sea again.

In fact, this storm swept not just Valentine, but all over the western coast of the mainland, but the impact was large and small, and Valentine was the one with the greatest impact.

It is foreseeable that special scholars everywhere are studying this storm, and they can also determine that its source is related to the Maelstrom. It represents the further integration and expansion of the inner world, and also represents the further activity of the magical elements in the world. It's hard to tell if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
