Parallel Army - The Sound of the Turning Tide Chapter 37: Only One Head Left
"Miss Sophia Zekin, well, that's the name now. She took a magic book with her when she left the Research Department many years ago. Our Economic Department now controls the White Emperor's City, so you don't need to worry about other additions.
Question, after settling this account, she will have nothing to do with the research department anymore. Now you can also go to the city to play as you like. If you don't provoke the madmen from the war department, I believe Miss Zekin will contact you soon.
"The voice didn't seem to be lying. After all, Sophia had given up resistance.
After Sophia entered the city, it seemed that she was teleported away by some space means, so Kalin directed the group to enter the city.
Compared with the city wall seen from the outside, the white flowers inside sting the eyes of outsiders. The buildings in the entire city are above five floors and are all made of white marble.
There are not many pedestrians in the city, but they all seem to be a little afraid of outsiders. Other than that, it is almost like other cities. There are various shops - but there are no buildings related to adventure supplies on the streets.
Carlin resumed his squinting eyes, completely ignoring the eyes of others, and looked at this strange city with vigilance and curiosity, looking for where Sophia might be taken and where food was sold.
Looking at the new things around him, Zate's eyes became a little brighter, but he still had important things to attend to, and with Sophia's affairs, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Zate, who was following Kalin and looking around, happened to hear and see the scene of rising heat in an alley, but Kalin didn't hear anything. There, a purple four-legged beast flashed past, followed by a white figure.
Finally, they disappeared into the corner of the alley. The mercenaries with keen senses did not notice it, and the people on the street did not notice it.
"Well, Karin, I seem to have seen something, but I'm not sure. It seems to be a purple four-legged beast being chased by a white figure." Zate followed Karin and tugged on his clothes.
Jiao, said softly.
"What do you mean, let's go take a look?" Karin looked at the soldiers who were still in a nervous state.
"Well, be careful." Zate's voice was as soft as a mosquito.
"Why don't you follow the brothers to find food and grass? Everyone should be hungry." Karin then thought that there must be no shortage of people here. He left the order a little embarrassed and quickly chased towards the place where the man and the beast disappeared.
"Okay, then please pay attention to your safety." Zate walked over anxiously and asked everyone in the escort to follow him to find a place selling food.
The big men in the escort obeyed Carlin's request without saying a word. The atmosphere was quite depressed. Richard tried to say something twice but didn't say anything. Anyway, he went to find a big grain store first.
After Zate led the team to replenish food, she saw that the atmosphere in the team was still very depressed, and immediately expressed her belief that Carlin and the others would come back soon. She saw Richard hesitate to speak twice, and came to him in a low voice to let him have some time.
He asked what the problem was, but Richard just shook his head.
In the alley a little further away, Dinefir Servin died for the first time and was resurrected with only one head left. After that, he joined the White Emperor's City Research Department and became a junior researcher.
Nominally, it mainly studies the changes in one's own body, and there is no way to know what each person thinks. In addition to studying unknown powers and his own body, Dinefel has no qualifications or ability to study other things.
Day after day of research failed to produce any results, and soon Dynefer fell into a bottleneck period. Although he was already a level A or above according to the strength of the mercenary industry, there were two in the White Emperor's City.
Ten legends, and there are countless people who are more powerful than him in the war department.
This extremely stratified city is divided into two parts, the common people and the Severn people. Because of his lack of ability, Dinefel's kindred began to use him more and more.
Today, Experimental Subject No. 25813 of the Research Department escaped. It is a "demon" that can transform. According to the data, they come from the "void" and need to be captured alive.
Soon, Dinefel relied on the "unknown power" he obtained on the day he became the head to force the demon from the civilian area to an uninhabited place. At this time, an outsider appeared behind him.
The current environment is a dead end ten feet wide and three hundred feet long. The wall behind the demon can be climbed, but it is a full ninety feet high. Judging from the mobility of this demon, it will take some time.
Karin chased after him and saw the monster and the cloaked man confronting each other. The cloaked man was wearing a hood, and the cloak was so loose that his feet could not be seen.
Carlin had never seen the creature in front of him and could not be sure what was inside the cloak. But he had just been reminded not to get into trouble, so he decided to ask first: "Um... what is going on? Do you need help?"
"This monster needs to be captured alive, but I seem unsure whether I killed him accidentally. Is there any way you can help me?" Dinefel's slightly hoarse voice came from under the cloak.
"I'm sorry that I don't know its capabilities. The best I can do is kill it for you." Karin looked around to see if there were any other intersections. [This city is indeed full of strange things.]
The monster could only climb the wall or rush past the two of them if it wanted to escape. Kalin decided to block the intersection with his shield and wait and see what would happen.
Dinefel knows part of the information about the shapeshifter. It does not have that strong mobility, but it can change into a human form. The human posture has almost no fighting ability in the crowd, and it can simulate clothes, but it can only change into a human form.
Now bald, the shapeshifter has the intelligence of an adult human, and it knows very well that this trick won't work.
A long stick protruded from Dinefel's cloak, and it turned into a long knife with a slight shake in the air, and struck hard at the shapeshifter's hind legs. He tried to capture the shapeshifter alive by cutting it into parts, but failed.
It will definitely succeed. After all, this thing is not a human. If it were a human, it would be okay to cut off the legs and stop the bleeding in time...
The leg was broken, purple blood sputtered out, and the shapeshifter roared in pain. Then he gritted his teeth and roared in unskilled human common language: "I can't escape, and you can't live either. All of them will return to the void.
!" Before they finished speaking, the two heard a shattering sound. With the Transformer as the center, the surrounding space began to shatter. This was a typical small space crack formed when space equipment was damaged, but they saw that the crack began to spread and sprayed from it.
Produce powerful energy.
An unknown force that Dynefil is familiar with brought about this change, so we temporarily call this change psychic energy. However, the shapeshifter cannot use this powerful power as flexibly as Dynefil, and soon
He was torn apart by his own abilities.
"Trouble, trouble. If this guy dies, I can't go back to do the work. I'm really unlucky today." Dinefel checked to see if there was anything left by the monster, but there was nothing left behind. All the things were swallowed up by the space cracks.
.
"Sorry for not being of help. Are you from here?" Karin shrugged and wiped the long wound on his arm that was cut by the space crack. He felt that he was not helping, and planned to take the opportunity to find out the news.
"I am a researcher of the Severn family. This guy was originally one of our research materials. He just escaped suddenly. Fortunately, it didn't cause any trouble, but he couldn't be captured alive. It won't be easy for me to do business when I go back."
The cloaked man turned to Karin, who only saw a pale male face.
The outer wall of the building around the space crack created by the transformation demon was gradually attracted by the crack and some mud fell off. The strong wind pulled the bodies of the two people. It was obvious that this was not a good place to talk. And soon the Ministry of Economic Affairs
People will come...
For Dinefel, the losses caused by the self-destruction of this shape-shifting demon are likely to be attributed to himself by the research department, and they will be more deliberately excluded.
This is not even as good as choosing to stay away from the White Emperor's City like those who left the other war departments or research departments. With the efficiency of the research department's work, it is very possible to leave far away.
Civilians in nearby buildings suffered some damage, and the sound of energy bursting caused the crowd to begin to evacuate away from this dangerous area in an orderly manner. Such things are commonplace for the residents of Baidi City.
"Well... should we leave here first? I just want to know something about the situation from your person in charge." Karin impatiently took a few steps towards the entrance of the alley, staying away from the crack, while listening to the sounds outside the alley.
movement.
"Leave here first, otherwise it will be difficult if someone comes looking for you later." Dinefel left with the flow of people, leading him to a distant alley.
"Are you ready to go back and report?" Carlin asked after entering the uninhabited alley.
Dinefel pondered for a moment, deciding which option would have the least consequences, including accidentally killing the shapeshifter, causing the shapeshifter's body to fall into the void, failing to find the shapeshifter, and self-destructing the shapeshifter.
But no matter what, Dinefel's research will only fall into a quagmire in the future. The decline in status and loss of payment will turn into more such "dangerous tasks" to form a vicious circle. In the White Emperor's City, he is the weak one and can only be suppressed.
share.
"You seem to be afraid that the city defense forces here will misunderstand you? Are you not an official of the White Emperor City?" Seeing the other party's avoidant attitude, Karin seemed not to go back to find his superiors. He decided to ask clearly and tried to take a look at it.
Check what the opponent is wearing under his cloak, such as whether he has a uniform. But Dinefel is covering it up so tightly that you can't tell at all.
Dinefel let out a long sigh. "Wherever there are people, there will be disputes. In Baidi City, I am just a researcher with no rights."
"So you're a researcher? The researchers here are really versatile... If you want to go back, can you give me some directions?" The cloaked man's knife speed is faster than that of Fageni. He doesn't look like a researcher.
.
"Where are you going?" Dynefil asked.
"It's like this. We have a companion who seems to have some historical issues with the management here. I don't know where she went. I plan to wait at your door." Carlin explained.
"Then you go back with me, just follow me from a distance. I'm not very popular here. If people misunderstand that you have a good relationship with me, it may not be a good thing for your next actions."
Dinefir's cloak turned around and left.
"Well, it sounds to me like they are simply sorting out their debts, so it shouldn't be a big problem. I'll just follow you, so that they don't think I'm following them and trouble you to lead the way." Carlin breathed a sigh of relief.
Dinefel said "Hmm" and led the way. Karin wasn't sure if he was disturbed by other sounds. Anyway, he didn't hear his footsteps...
