Chapter 33 Holy Monarch
  In the office on the top floor of the Heretic Tribunal, Longque threw a document on the table, and the wind blew his white hair. He said expressionlessly: "According to the investigation of Aoki's arrest manual, we found John Moore. All the information. The record of the Dongcheng Human Sculpture Murder Case was also found, but the criminal arrested at that time was not him, but a scapegoat."

"Even today, five hundred years later, this kind of thing is not uncommon. Many judges, under pressure from their superiors, tend to find a scapegoat when they cannot solve the case."

He emphasized: "But this time the situation is obviously different. After the Dongcheng human sculpture case was closed, they are still tracking the real culprit. From this point of view, it is true that some people want to Cover up something and try to resolve it privately."

This gray-haired man was able to sort out so much information in such a short period of time. It was obvious that he had not slept all night. He had dark circles under his eyes and could not hide his exhaustion.

Of course, Lu Fuji was not much better.

Both of them looked exhausted, like workers who had gone through the high-intensity work of 1996. There was no trace of energy in their bodies.

Of course, Lu Fuji's condition is due to his spiritual practice and illness.

And Longque is for work.

It can be seen that he is a very dedicated and reliable person, and he is most likely to be reliable in his work.

People with such a personality will actually make a good impression on others.

I just don’t know why everyone in this city talks so coldly about him.

Lu Buer took off his military uniform, put on a thickened long windbreaker, and asked casually: "But as the chief of the Heretic Tribunal, you don't know about this kind of thing?"

Damon and Qiangwei glanced at him and explained: "Actually... the commander only came back three months ago. The previous Grand Adjudicator had a lot of misdeeds and was burned to death on the stake."

Lu Fuji was stunned for a moment, this was really cruel.

No wonder that with Long Que's methods, such a thing could happen under his hands.

It seems that the vast majority of people in the Heretic Tribunal are not his confidants.

His foundation in this city is not stable.

Because of this, he knew nothing about the emergence of the Corpse Food Cult.

"By the way, when you entered the Third Temple, the Awakening Priest who enlightened you and an interrogator named Heishan have all disappeared. This clue has been interrupted and can only be obtained from Old John's interpersonal relationship. Looking for clues."

Longque opened a page of the document: "Old John once adopted six children, four of whom are dead, and the whereabouts of two are a mystery. According to the data, one of these two people is named Sasha, and the other is Called Barron. Yesterday I investigated Aoki's residence and found some clues. About half a month ago, Aoki captured Sasha, imprisoned him, and tortured him for some relevant clues. Next, Aoki Went out on a search and rescue mission.”

As for Sasha’s ending, it’s a no-brainer.

It's definitely gone.

Lu Fuji understood: "That's when Aoki found us. In fact, Aoki went to hunt down Old John. We were just lucky and happened to meet him."

He pointed to a person on the document and said: "So, Old John's last child is the only remaining clue. This Barron may also know something."

Damon and Rose, as lieutenants, glanced at the boy.

I have to say that my thinking is pretty good.

"Start big data search?"

Qiangwei raised her eyes and asked, "But the report will take time."

Damon shook his head: "Sir, we don't have that much time."

Longque coughed, raised his hand and said, "Indeed, I don't have the patience to wait for the reports from the people above. What's more, if this Barron hides in the underground neighborhood, he can't find it even with big data. ...So, we have to use some special means.”

After saying this, Qiangwei and Damon understood.

"Private, it's best not to tell anyone about what you saw today. If you report it to the superiors, you will also join us. Do you understand?"

Lu Fuji was confused when he heard the roar of the wall.

The bookshelf behind Longque moved away automatically, revealing the hidden compartment behind it.

There are six hidden cells in total.

Longque turned around and reached out to touch a hidden grid: "I personally believe that as long as the interests of innocent people are not harmed, some extraordinary means can be used when necessary. Of course, there is no distinction between good and bad means, just like there is no distinction between good tools. Whether it’s bad or not depends on whose hands it’s used.”

He paused: "And, what is the purpose."

The secret compartment opened automatically, and inside was a lizard kept in a glass bottle!

It looks like the red-eyed eagle lizard from five hundred years ago. The difference is that it is completely bloody and looks as transparent as jade, with a crystal luster.

The dark matter in Lu Fuji's palm became obviously restless.

A feeling of hunger also arose in his mind.

White Walkers!

That lizard turned out to be a White Walker!
  Good guy, if this is discovered by the Yuan family, wouldn't it mean that the Yuan family will be attacked three times?

Charge, kill, do it!

No wonder it needs to be kept secret.

The Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition keeps White Walkers in captivity in private.

If someone discovers this, he will be taken to court.

"The Red-Eyed Blood Lizard is a first-order White Walker and an endangered species. Even though it is small, it has very strong fighting power. It also has a special ability, which is that it can trace the scope of its body through the smell of blood. And its The smell range is more than fifty kilometers." Damon explained briefly, then opened the cap of the glass bottle and released the red-eyed blood lizard.

"Yo, long time no see."

Rose teased the White Walker, opened a bottle of blood and gave it a sniff.

Lu Fuji hesitated for a moment: "Is this... Barron's blood?"

Long Que hummed: "Everyone with low energy at the bottom has the opportunity to donate blood once a month. Once you donate blood, you can get ten points of merit, which is also a kind of subsistence allowance. Yesterday, I raided the blood supply of the Medical Department overnight. Repository, luckily found it."

Lu Buer thought to himself, that's it, this is the shortcut.

"By the way, I have something to tell you."

Longque turned around and said calmly: "We are not the only one investigating the matter of the Corpse Cult. Although this matter is theoretically within the scope of our Heretic Tribunal. However, once the Law Enforcement Bureau can determine that someone Even when illegal forces gather, they have the right to intervene.”

Lu Fuji raised his eyebrows.

"In fact, just yesterday, Director Charles of the Law Enforcement Bureau asked to participate in the meeting, and he also brought Instructor Kashiwagi with him. You can taste it, and that's why."

Longque lit up a cigarette: "In a sense, the Law Enforcement Bureau and the Inquisition are two departments that compete with each other. Director Charles is also an old friend of mine."

Lu Fuji fell into deep thought: "This means that we must do it as soon as possible. Once the people from the Law Enforcement Bureau find clues, we may not be able to find anything. The people behind Aoki may control the Law Enforcement Bureau and Erase this matter completely.”

Long Que looked at him with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Yes, that's it. Now that the Heretic Tribunal has been rectified by me, if that person dares to insert nails again, he will be easily discovered by me. Therefore, he will Stretch your hand to the departments I have no right to interfere with."

Lu Fuji understood that in short, he had to be fast.

When the red-eyed blood lizard smelled the smell of blood, it became obviously active.

Climbing up and down is a bit cute.

"Then let's move into groups."

Longque raised two fingers: "Damon and I are in the same group, and you and Qiangwei are in the same group. We are covering in the dark, as uncle and nephew...well, I am the nephew."

Damon said with a straight face: "I'm uncle."

Lu Buer hesitated for a moment: "Then let's..."

Qiangwei snorted: "We are mother and son, I am the mother, and you are the son!"

Lu Fuji's eyes twitched: "Why not father and son? I am the father and you are the daughter." "You brat, I think you want to be beaten."

"I've tolerated you for a long time."

"I'll let you go out to the first level to show off your skills?"

"Okay."

At this time, Long Que raised his head and said expressionlessly: "Sometimes I really want to shoot both of your heads off. Shut your mouth and set off immediately."

·
  ·
  Boom.

Qiangwei was riding a motorcycle on a long street, and the scene on the street was quickly thrown behind her. The red-eyed blood lizard was lying in her breast pocket and taking a nap, obviously not finding the target.

"Don't look at it. When you really stand out in the military department one day, you will find that you have privileges in this city. These well-dressed people will treat you like a master. Although...you can't just beat them."

The woman noticed that the boy in the rearview mirror was always looking left and right, and said with a smile: "But in their eyes, you are a hero who protects the city. Women who want to be your girlfriend can also line up this street. After all, , Who wouldn’t want to marry a high-energy person? It would be best if the high-energy person can rise to the top, and if he doesn’t live for a few years, he can still leave a legacy.”

Lu Buer silently withdrew his gaze: "I don't really yearn for it, and I haven't experienced that kind of life. I'm just curious when I see them, and I always feel like I've returned to the original world."

"Because this is between the first and second rings."

Qiangwei said calmly: "You'll know when you get to the Fourth Ring Road. It's like going from heaven to hell. Especially the underground neighborhood, it can be said to be a city of disorder."

Lu Fuji nodded slightly, and he suddenly saw three huge sculptures in a ring, which looked much taller than the Statue of Liberty, and more majestic.

It’s just that no specific face was carved.

"what is that?"

he asked curiously.

"Oh, sculptures of divine monarchs through the ages."

"Why don't you have a face?"

"Because we are not qualified to see their true faces."

"Are they great?"

"The first holy monarch was an Easterner. After the disaster, he led mankind to open up a new era, which was the cornerstone of human order. He was the first to discover the use of numerology and gave all mankind weapons to protect themselves. Yours He gave us the backbone. Otherwise, we would all still be food for the White Walkers. Let alone establishing civilization, it would be very difficult to survive."

"Is he gone?"

"Yeah, he died before the Supreme Federation was established."

"What about the second term?"

"The second holy monarch was also an Oriental, an out-and-out tycoon. At that time, human civilization was in a very chaotic stage. There were many major plutocratic organizations and there were many people trying to build a country. Later, he developed The use of numerology techniques, with iron-fisted methods and invincible power, swept across the entire world and established the Supreme Federation. If he were still alive, the world today would probably not be like this. Divine power will not be greater than human rights."

"What about the third term?"

"I only know his name, Constantine."

Lu Fuji was stunned: "What did you say?"

Qiangwei replied: "I said, except for the name, I don't know anything else. The existence of this sacred monarch seems to be a taboo, and ordinary people cannot come into contact with it."

Lu Fuji was shocked. All the little girls in his family knew about this.

He now realized something was wrong.

All the things Lu Sixian had shown before proved that she was no ordinary imbecile.

"Who is the holy monarch now?"

Lu Fuji asked.

"No, the divine monarch does not exist in every era."

Qiangwei rolled her eyes: "Do you understand that I would rather be Que than Cha?"

"So how can I become a divine monarch?"

"It's very simple, as long as you have absolute power over religion and secularity. At that time, the first generation developers of Aurora Technology established the Akasha Holy Cult based on the power inherited from the Gods. And the major chaebol families participated The Supreme Federation has been established. Regarding the future development direction of all mankind, as long as you can surpass them, then you will naturally be the boss."

They chatted all the way from the first ring to the fourth ring.

From beginning to end, the red-eyed blood lizard showed no reaction.

It's right to think about it. Barron is a low-energy person and will definitely not be able to get along in a prosperous area.

The greatest probability is that it is a slum.

It was not until the afternoon that Qiangwei parked her motorcycle at the entrance of the vegetable market on the Fourth Ring Road. The red-eyed blood lizard on her chest became obviously restless.

"found it?"

Lu Buer was relieved: "I was still worried that he was dead."

Qiangwei rolled her eyes: "Who doesn't?"

"Let's go to the underground black market."

She smiled and said, "I'll show you the real hell."

I saw that she had just stepped off the motorcycle and pulled out the car keys.

Four sturdy men immediately rushed out of the alley.

They wielded iron bars and were about to hit her on the head.

Qiangwei took off her helmet without even trying to hide.

Bang bang bang!

Lu Buer punched and kicked the four sturdy men and were knocked down on the spot.

The vendors at the street stalls were shocked, and the onlookers immediately dispersed and hid in the corner to observe secretly, but their eyes were fixed on the motorcycle.

"My skills and reflexes are both good."

Qiangwei half-smiled, "Originally I thought you weren't good at it."

She emphasized the word "no" with emphasis.

Because Lu Fuji looked sickly.

"Whether I can do it or not, you will know if you try."

Lu Buer rolled his eyes: "They're just car thieves. Do you think I can't react? I remember when I was moving bricks in the construction site, those people would even steal my smelly shoes. I'm so used to it." So, I don’t need you to show me hell, bro, because I’ve always been in hell.”

He turned around and looked at the dirty vegetable market, smelling the familiar smell.

Come home, buddy.
