Chapter 124 Coping
All those present were silent.
Based on the intelligence collected by many parties after the tragic incident that year.
The "Dead Soul Box" is actually a toy of Purcell, the "God of Opera" who has fallen into an evil god. He was a good god before his fall and loved human laughter and all beautiful arts!
But after his accidental fall, He began to chase all kinds of negative human emotions, anger, sadness, selfishness, loss, cowardice, despair, hatred, jealousy, inferiority, greed and draw strength from them!
Driven by instinct, He willfully creates disasters among humans and directs one tragedy after another! The more painful and miserable the mortals are, the greater the power He can draw from them.
eight years ago.
He was not only the object of worship for the Wells family, but also the source of their destruction.
The "Dead Soul Box" was also created by this evil god based on his characteristics. If it were just left in an uninhabited place, a box without the ability to move on its own might not be very harmful.
But once the box is opened, seven "murderers" with various strange abilities will be released (seven is considered the most magical number, in fact many mysterious creations and witchcraft rituals are related to the number seven).
Will follow the established rules and kill like crazy!
In the beginning, the "murderer" only had the power of a junior transcendent, and the targets he hunted were limited to ordinary people.
But as time goes by and the number of victims increases, the abilities of the seven "murderers" will become stronger and stronger. If left unchecked and allowed to grow freely, it only takes seven days a week to naturally break through to the extraordinary third level.
The Great Human Knight!
At that time, they will also become a truly extraordinary disaster, and it will only be a matter of time before the seven powerful knight-level men let go and destroy a city.
What's more, the place "New Yingang" is somewhat special.
Tragedy had already happened once eight years ago. Fortunately, a super-powerful man took action in time to avoid a greater disaster.
What about this time?
Facing the consul's questions.
Charlie, a representative of the Royal Naval College, responded positively:
"The words of President Princeton are evidence! And I have brought the information to you, whether you want to believe it or not.
But I want to remind you again that now is different from eight years ago, Her Royal Highness Crown Prince Levina is here watching everyone!"
His words instantly shocked everyone present.
"Phew, I have no problem! In order to avoid causing panic, I think we should temporarily block the news and send more manpower to comprehensively search for the hiding places of the 'Murderer' and the 'Dead Soul Box'!"
The consul used his authority to suppress the chattering crowd and directly made the final decision.
"Second! The power of the 'murderer' is not something that ordinary people can deal with. No matter whether it is outside or at home, hiding or not will not change the outcome."
"Second! We must solve the root cause of the incident as soon as possible to avoid further expansion of the harm."
"Seconded!"
‘Human lives can be sacrificed, but factories cannot be shut down, shops cannot be closed, and the economic lifeline cannot be cut off!’ The gentlemen all agreed, but no one could express these words in their hearts.
"I order, with the arakkoa troops as the main force, and the city guards as assistance. From now on, non-stop patrols will be carried out until the damn box is found and the source is solved! Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Diesel." Then the consul said to the arakkoa people.
Chief Officer Diesel said solemnly.
"Obligated!"
The arakkoa chief Diesel stood up and saluted again. Although his hair was gray, his words were loud and clear, giving everyone present a very solid sense of security.
"I have another question. Although there are only seven killer ghosts, they have been at the level of extraordinary beings since their birth. Only extraordinary beings can fight against extraordinary beings.
I don't mean to offend, but just relying on the extraordinary beings of the arakkoa troops and city guards is not enough to fight them, right?
And these monsters are getting stronger day by day, where can we mobilize enough extraordinary beings to defend our city?"
The representative of the city defense committee who had been silent raised his question at this time. His concerns were also very reasonable. Today we may only face seven extraordinary junior murderers. The strength of the guards is still enough, but tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow
Woolen cloth?
Today is already the second day. If they are unlucky and fail to catch them in time, they will face the seven great knights in five days.
Even during this period, they still had to face enemies at two levels: senior extraordinary and peak extraordinary. The gap at each level was huge.
"The church will send members of the Iron Wall Knights and demon-hunting priests to assist!"
"The Sea Hunter Union will mobilize union members to collect intelligence in a timely manner!"
"The First Fleet will send officers without assignments into the city to assist in defense!"
"The Federation of Nobles will support some private soldiers!"
Representatives of the major forces have spoken out to support each other. The current situation can no longer be handled by one party alone. If the unfavorable disaster expands, no one can escape. Even if they escape, with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince watching, no one can continue.
Stay in the Kingdom of Phaletis.
Then they simultaneously turned their attention to the representative of the Royal Naval Academy who did not speak. Although President Princeton was the talisman of "Newport" and could not be moved lightly, there happened to be a strong force in the academy at this time that could serve as a new force.
"Sir Charlie, I remember that your school's latest officer short training course is still in progress, right?"
at dusk.
"Teacher, is this the Crow Market? It's so magical."
Angel was wearing a black robe and holding Alvin's clothes while walking in the Crow Market in "Newport".
Although she is now much more cheerful than before, the habits she has developed over the years still make her a little timid in crowded places.
A lizard with two heads, a talking bird with colorful feathers, a strange plant that looks like a human hand, a metal puppet crow that can move on its own, all kinds of "commodities" rarely seen in the outside world in the market dazzled her.
The two of them came when the Crow Market was at its busiest.
"An Qi, before we leave, you can choose something as a reward for becoming a wizard's apprentice!"
As expected of her extraordinary talent, An Qi had successfully completed the spiritual activation through her first meditation and officially entered the ranks of wizards. Although she was still the most junior apprentice, she already had a completely different ability from the past.
future.
"Really, teacher?" An Qi looked surprised when she heard this. No matter how mature and sensible she is, she can't change her childlike nature.
Ivan put down a stone sculpture with a New World indigenous style in his hand and patted her head gently: "Of course it's true."
“Great!”
In the next "shopping", the little girl showed off her talents as a woman. It seemed that she had obtained the "maximum energy" buff bonus, and she was so aggressive that she almost visited every stall in the Crow Market.
Alvin didn't deliberately stop her.
Although this is mainly a gathering place for extraordinary people of the legal system, materials and artifacts that are too evil or dangerous are also rare, at least not on the surface. Don't worry too much about An Qi accidentally encountering something that she can't handle.
Danger.
