Mysterious as the wind, always with me

Chapter 5 Who is going to kill me?
After seeing off Mark, the night watchman captain came up.

"Your Excellency, I am [Raven] Captain Galian Cassina. I will be in charge of this case. May I ask if the file I applied to the Church of Light has been approved?"

"I've heard of you." Albert nodded: "A few E-level [Broken Mind Demons] are not worth mentioning. What you should pay attention to is B-level anomaly No. 233 [Music Box Puppet Dancer] .”

Galian jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and shouted, "Goddess! Why does the church ignore Class B anomalies?"

The threat level of B-level anomalies is not low, which means that this anomaly has the power to destroy a town.

Under normal circumstances, the two churches would not ignore this.

Albert took out a leather bag from the long sleeve of his robe and handed it to Galian.

Turning to the first page, Galian's expression was even more exciting.

"Why is the combat power evaluation grade A?"

Albert said: "Her lethality is good, but she can't move, and she has a strong territorial awareness, very little territorial space, and won't attack ordinary people. Most of the time, this [Anomaly] will not be triggered. She will only be triggered if the intruder intends to forcibly take away the music box, attempts to destroy it, or meets the definition of [Dancer] in her mind."

"What happens once it's triggered?"

"Even if you are tone-deaf, you can dance without rhythm, and you can pass a country dance. According to the records, only if you arrogantly refuse to dance, or humiliate her face to face, triggering humiliating words such as 'ugly', will you be ruthless attack. However, the attack range is limited to the dance hall. When she leaves the dance hall, she will return to a calm state."

Gallian quickly checked it out and found that it was written on the file: Ten years ago, based on the low aggressiveness of this [abnormality], the church lowered its risk rating to B and removed the monitoring personnel. The castle is listed as a restricted area.

Galian also noticed that there was only the top half of the dossier, and the bottom half was taken away.

"Your Excellency, why didn't the church seal it?"

Albert didn't answer directly: "You don't have enough authority."

"Understood. I will continue to focus on this case."

"Any ideas?"

Galian shook his head: "No. But Mark Destiny is the first survivor. This is at least a good start. I plan to divide half of the people to protect the survivors, and the other half to..."

"No! You don't have the right to search that castle." Another strange voice suddenly came out of the church.

Galian was a little choked, and just getting angry, he noticed along the voice that a mysterious figure appeared in the shadow of the corner of the church.Most of the opponent's body was blurred, like a shadow, and the only chest part that could be seen clearly with the naked eye had three golden feather ornaments.

Albert nodded as a greeting.

Galian quickly saluted: "Then, I will protect the survivors, and then continue to hunt and kill them from other aspects."

"Go."

Galian bowed and retreated.

Waiting is very boring. Mark waited outside until Galian came out with great difficulty.

"Mr. Destiny, I know you are very anxious and full of doubts. But now is not the time. If there is anything to do, wait until the official results of the church come out tomorrow. Get a good night's sleep first."

"Uh, I just want to ask, won't that [weird] entangle me?" Mark was really afraid.

What dances together for a lifetime, even thinking about it makes me shudder.

Galian smiled, full of confidence, and said with great certainty: "I swear in the name of the Evernight Goddess, you are safe."

Hearing this, although Mark was still full of doubts, the big stone in his heart, which was less said in units of [tons], was finally let go.

Don't look at a group of gods who are mysteriously hiding it from him, Mark, who was a little careless before, might not be able to see that a certain traveler's heart is bright.

However, after tossing around most of the night, I was frightened.

As soon as he was safe, he was overwhelmed by exhaustion, and he fell asleep in a guest room in the church.

After some vengeful deep sleep, Mark opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the one who almost killed him last night——

Eight!sound!box!
The pattern, the color, and the missing female doll on it, even if it turned to ashes, Mark would recognize it.

"Ahhhh!"

He sat up in panic, and suddenly wanted to get up, but the result was too much force on his feet, and there was a throbbing pain in his head, which made him lose his balance for a short time, and his body center of gravity fell backwards.

"Oh!"

He fell from the other side of the big bed, and his buttocks and back made intimate contact with the cold ground.

"What's up!?"

Almost the second after Mark screamed, Galian in leather armor broke through the wooden door and rushed in with a night watchman. The daggers in their hands that were blessed with magical runes pierced through the window. Dazzling brilliance reflected in the sun.

Galian's quick response gave Mark considerable confidence.

"Snapped!"

Even though the pain affected him, he immediately pressed one hand on the floor, sat up again, pointed at the head of the bed and shouted: "Music box!"

Garyan and the two followed Mark's fingers, and as far as they could see, there was only an empty wooden bedside table.

"where?"

"I saw it there just now."

Suspicious, the captain of the night watchman untied the tie on his back, and put a small round shield with a diameter of only forty centimeters in front of his body. After more night watchmen rushed into the door, the three of them approached cautiously. On the bedside table, use the point of the dagger to open the drawer.

No.

Nothing at all.

A night watchman helped Mark up, while the other night watchmen continued to search as if facing an enemy.

This kind of small room that is usually provided for monks really has no place to hide things.The room is not an exaggeration, it is only fifteen square meters, and there is no luxurious and complicated furniture.

An old mahogany bed, a knee-high bedside table, a simple door-to-door wardrobe between the bed and the window, a small table by the window, a column hanger and a shelf for the washbasin near the door , there will be no more than six drawers in total, and that's all.

Looking at the narrow transom that no one can get through, and looking at the empty roof, the night watchman checked for more than ten minutes, but found nothing.

After holding back for a long time, Galian tentatively said, "Could it be that you misread it?"

Faced with a pair of suspicious eyes, Mark's face was quite bad, and he held back for a long time: "Just think I was wrong. Sorry for disturbing everyone."

"It's okay, we understand. After encountering anomalies, many people will have allergic reactions." Galian reassured him.

In another world, this would be called PTSD.

The blazing sun from the window shone on Mark's face, burning hot.

In the fragmentary memory of the original owner, the Wright Empire was a country granted by the king, and the status of the two churches of light and night was transcendent.On weekdays, even the nobles would not dare to provoke the night watchman.The fact that these guys can be so amiable only shows that the matter of his almost dying is really serious, and there is no clue what the hell is involved behind it.

Exhaling deeply, Mark sat on the bed, feeling a little slumped: "If you have any questions, just ask. I will tell you everything I know. I just want to know when I will be free."

Galian made a gesture, and most of the Night's Watch went out, leaving only two standing in the corner of the room.He pulled a chair over and sat down boldly, putting his hands on the back of the chair.

"When will you be free? Depends on when we catch that cult lunatic."

"A cult lunatic?"

"Yes! Some guy sent an anonymous letter to the headquarters of the Night Watch in the city, heralding your death."

"hiss--"

Taking a deep breath, Mark felt his scalp tingling and the back of his head tingling.

This is no 'accident' at all!
This is pure, malicious, out-and-out murder!

Mark's pupils narrowed violently at first, then lost focus, and his eyes became loose.

His face turned blue, and he tried to search the broken memory fragments of the original owner, thinking about who he had offended.

Galian encouraged him: "Don't be afraid! The Church of Evernight can ensure your safety. You think about it slowly, if possible, retell the whole process of this matter from beginning to end. Well, from what strange things you have come into contact with recently? People start."

There is nothing to hide about the whole incident.

Yesterday was August 8th. To put it bluntly, it was two mysterious college students who were bored. While bragging and farting in a tavern, a strange adventurer named Parker instigated a "no risk" talk. Just go for the adventure.From getting acquainted with Parker, to going home to rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find equipment copy guys, and then taking a car to this damn castle, the whole process only took four hours.

In order to pursue a sense of atmosphere, they even deliberately concealed it from the people in the town and set up a night visit to the castle.

Then Parker, the culprit who encouraged Mark to explore, hangs in it inexplicably.

Around the age of 20 is the most impulsive age. It is ridiculous and outrageous for two college students who do not worry about money to do such a thing in this weird world.

When you think about it, it's not unbelievable.

When Mark told the whole process, the three night watchmen on the opposite side obviously had a hard time holding back their laughter.

Fortunately, they are professionals, so they didn't really laugh after listening to it.

"Your Excellency, Captain, may I know who declared my death?"

Galian shrugged: "Who knows, there are so many cults. Those lunatics from unorthodox sects all have criminal motives."

This world is a world where gods and monsters appear.The orthodox sects recognized by mainstream countries around the world include the Church of Light and Night, the Church of the God of Storms, the Church of the Mechanic, the Church of the Goddess of Harvest, and so on.

In contrast, there are a large number of messy cults.

According to legend, in the battle of gods thousands of years ago, the gods of the orthodox sect defeated a group of evil gods and killed or sealed them.However, the remaining evils were not exhausted, and in the development of the next thousand years, heresies with different teachings and propositions emerged.

For example, with the [Seven Deadly Sins] as the core, the seven 'Sects of Sin' are more inclined to the lawful and evil camp.

Another example is the four 'Apocalypse sects' who act in more chaotic ways, wantonly spread chaos and destruction, and take the four horsemen of the apocalypse [plague, war, famine, and death] as their teachings.

These cults do not belong to each other and are in chaos. They not only jointly attack the major countries and orthodox churches, but also attack each other.

These are just relatively large sects, and there are also small sects that believe in some powerful demons, or believe in great men who stole divine power during the war of gods and became gods in mortal bodies.

Since this conspirator hiding in the dark did not declare the name of the evil god he believed in, it is difficult to determine the target.It can only roughly exclude the four apocalyptic sects that are simple and rude.

Galian shrugged: "Okay, sir. Have you thought of any reason why you must be killed?"

Mark hesitated: "Uh, I think of it, probably because... I'm so handsome."

"..."

Most afraid of the sudden quietness of the air, Galian's face turned a liver-colored color within half a second, and the back of the chair he was holding on made a "click" sound.

In the next second, two night watchmen in the corner jumped out.

"Captain! Calm down! Calm down!"

"If you kill the protected object, we're finished!"
