Xu said: "The person who committed the suicide attack was coerced! Although he had a clear mind and knew that he would die, he still volunteered to die for some reason... In this way, the altar may not be able to control it!"
"How could anyone agree?" Zhang Lang frowned and expressed confusion.
After all, even if you threaten to kill me, you will still die anyway...
"Perhaps the condition of the threat is the safety of the family?"
Xu said: "As far as I know, there will be senior reincarnators who pretend to be kind and obtain information about newcomers in the real world, and then use the safety of their families to coerce newcomers, rob them of their rewards, and even let them die if necessary...
…”
"Is there such a thing?"
Zhang Lang was surprised when he heard this, and Xu on the side added:
"Of course, from the moment they choose to become reincarnators, these guys have the consciousness to accept everything! Hurt others, or be hurt by others!"
Zhang Lang narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded.
"Oh my god, how...how could this happen?!"
At this time, Zhang Lang heard the familiar exclamation. Looking back, Captain Carl and Lana wearing glasses were standing in front of the ruins, looking shocked.
Seeing them, Miss Ghost was overjoyed: "I just said I didn't see the bodies of Captain Carl and Lana... bah bah! I knew you wouldn't die!"
During the rescue process, they discovered that Jace of the criminal investigation team...that is, the silver-haired young man was dead. This special person who manipulated metal ended up being inserted into his throat by the bottle rack in the infirmary...
The explosion was so sudden that he didn't even have time to use his abilities...
As for the square warrior Galliman, one of his legs and one hand was broken by the collapsing concrete. Although he managed to survive with his strong physique, he basically lost his fighting ability... As for Claire, who was guarding the Dream Demon with Zhang Lang, Zhang
Lang was the first to confirm her life and death...
Of the remaining three people in the criminal investigation team, Dance was not in the ninth round, Karl and Gray Grid were not found, and Lana from the Special Species Department was not found either. With her thin body, she probably wouldn't survive if she was buried...
…
At this time, Carl and Lana appeared alive, which was a big surprise for the ghost front desk lady!
"Captain, were you not in the bureau just now?" Zhang Lang walked up and asked.
"Yes!" Karl nodded: "Just before the explosion, Lana suddenly came to my office and said that a crow that could predict disasters had sounded the alarm. It was very urgent! Gray Grid was also present at the time and immediately pulled the two of us.
One of them activated his teleportation ability and left the ninth round!"
"We also felt the explosion the moment we passed away, but we didn't expect it to be so serious!" Lana whispered.
"What about Gray Grid?" Zhang Lang didn't see the pudgy mustache.
"In desperation, he teleported us several streets away!" Karl said: "Such a long-distance teleportation is a heavy burden on him. I will leave him to rest, and Lana and I will come back first to see... Where is the Dream Demon?
Um...and...where are the others?"
Miss Ghost showed a sad expression: "Ms. Claire and Mr. Jess both died... Mr. Garriman was also seriously injured and has been sent to the hospital..."
"The Dream Demon...is also dead..." Zhang Lang looked at Karl: "But he didn't die in the explosion. Later, a killer shot an arrow from a distance..."
"What a pity..." After hearing the news, Karl showed a sad expression: "But now is not the time to mourn. The last target of the other party is the witch! In order to prevent them from completing that terrible and unknown ritual, for our
Our comrade’s sacrifice will not be in vain, we must stop her!”
As he said that, he looked at Zhang Lang and patted him on the shoulder: "I'll take you to see the witch right now!"
Zhang Lang nodded and followed Karl away.
The steam locomotive originally parked in the yard was also affected by the explosion and was completely destroyed. The two had to take a public steam locomotive. After seven stops, they arrived at the upper city area.
"A witch lives here?"
Zhang Lang frowned. The Shangcheng District is the rich area of Fog City. There are single-family villas here. They are either nobles or wealthy businessmen. Each one is equipped with dozens of servants, gardeners, chefs, security guards, etc.
.In Zhang Lang's impression, other special beings live cautiously. Why is this witch so high-profile?
"Looking at her dress, she doesn't look like she's financially strapped, right?"
The information in Carl's hand contained a picture of the witch. Zhang Lang had seen her in the Oak Barrel Bar before, and she indeed looked like a young lady from a rich family.
Karl led Zhang Lang through the clean and spacious streets, and finally stopped in front of a wide courtyard. After showing his ID to the guard, he was allowed to enter.
This spacious courtyard and the palace-like residence in the courtyard were one of the best even in the upper city. Zhang Lang couldn't help but guess that this witch belonged to a certain noble noble?
Under the guidance of the servant, the two walked through the courtyard and entered the mansion. Zhang Lang immediately felt eyes scanning over him.
Looking up, there was a police officer in a dark coat standing guard at the door of each room, at the stairwell, on the balcony, etc., wherever there might be a visual blind spot. Among them, he even saw his former "colleague"
,Nason!
Nathan was also surprised to see Zhang Lang, but it seemed that due to the atmosphere, his eyes lit up and he opened his mouth, but did not make a sound. Zhang Lang pretended not to see him, ignored him, and followed Carl upstairs.
In front of a gorgeous door.
After knocking on the door lightly and receiving permission, the two finally walked in.
This is a spacious and bright living room, with men in special uniforms standing in front of the window and door. They are obviously not police officers, nor are they dressed like the Ninth Bureau.
Karl told Zhang Lang that they were the Royal Guards, the most well-trained warriors, and there might even be special beings among them!
This also made Zhang Lang murmur in his heart: The royal guards are here. Could it be that the little witch is a mutated princess?
There was a gorgeous and elegant coffee table in the center of the living room. On the sofa next to it, the girl wearing gorgeous Gothic-style clothes was sitting. Behind her, stood the giant man Zhang Lang had seen in the tavern.
Is this the witch and her bodyguard?
Opposite the witch, there were two people sitting. One was wearing a police uniform, it was Zhang Lang's former commander, Aldrich, and next to him was his current teammate, Ninth Bureau agent Dance!
Seeing the two of them coming in, Aldrich and Dance stood up immediately. Dance came over to say hello to them, and Aldrich also came over with a puffy belly. He smiled and patted Zhang Lang on the shoulder: "Boy, you've hidden enough.
Damn, I didn’t even know you were such a powerful special person?”
"I'm also afraid of trouble..." Zhang Lang nodded, tentatively answering.
According to Xu's reminder, in the police system of Dense Fog City, although the eight branches are equal in terms of responsibilities, the salary of the first bureau is higher. Once there are some major cases that need to coordinate the criminal police of the entire city's branches, the first bureau will also be paid.
The criminal police captain carries out overall planning and deployment, but actually has greater hidden power. Therefore, the transfer of some branch directors to the first bureau as deputy director is not considered a demotion, but Aldridge, the criminal investigation captain of the first bureau, has a higher status in the police system.
It's very important.
But what does this have to do with Zhang Lang?
Seeing that his former subordinate was not very enthusiastic, Aldrich didn't take it seriously. Karl on the side also told him about the attack in the ninth inning. After hearing this, Aldrich expressed deep indignation and regret, and cursed the murderer as crazy.
Dance had been friends with the deceased Jess for many years. When he heard about his death, he even shed tears on the spot.
"You go and express your condolences to your friend!" Zhang Lang took the opportunity to interject: "I'll be in charge here!"
