Zoe told Victor an address, which was in Renekton...
According to her, that's where she met Miria Lilith.
Victor asked Zoe to describe the environment there, but the latter remembered it clearly and said it was a mansion.
This clue is quite crucial. Although Miria is dead, there may still be some important information stored in her house.
Victor believed that Zoe no longer had much value, so he stopped the interrogation and planned to continue to detain her in the police station.
After Tony learned about it, he came to ask Victor if he should give Zoe to the White Crown, but Victor refused.
"She is not the mastermind behind this, she is just a pawn being used."
After hearing this conclusion, Tony was not very satisfied: "That guy Hodney, I hope we can produce results as soon as possible. After all, he represents the Ebony Tower."
At that time, the three of them were in the Ebony Tower, and Hodney witnessed Victor chasing Zoe with his own eyes.
Although he looks silly, Hodney is extremely shrewd in his heart. It is not easy to fool him. Victor must give an explanation.
"If it's Stanford who is asking, then ignore him. Just make up any excuse and leave the suspect in the police station... This girl will be useful later."
Unexpectedly, Victor still showed a tough attitude, which made Tony feel a bit stuck.
However, the former ignored him and ran to the telegram sending area upstairs in the branch office to send a telegram to Renekton.
William Marshall was still in Renekton, and Victor had to tell him the news he had just received.
Within half a day, Renekton received a reply, and William's reaction surprised Victor a little.
He asked Victor to stay in Sanfran. There was no need to return to Renekton to investigate Miria's house. Things on the White Crown side were more important.
William believes that the people behind the plot to murder the president may have other conspiracies, and the matter is not as simple as people think.
As for Miria's house, William is ready to check it out in person.
Since the Minister has said so, Victor is of course happy to stay in Sanfran to relax.
After all, if you want to rush back to Renekton in a short period of time, you have to use the "drop-off" service in the Flower Tower.
To be honest, the experience was not a good one, and Victor didn't want to do it again.
However, what he didn't know was that William Marshall had already visited that house before sending this clue back to Renekton...
…
Back in time not long ago, Victor had just escaped from the Lost City and was experimenting with his newly acquired powers.
Minister William Marshall had already found Miria's hiding place in Renekton, and his figure appeared outside the mansion.
He was wearing a thick coat, sunglasses on his face, holding a thick cigar, and his way was blocked by a closed iron door.
Before receiving the information from Victor, he already knew where this place was.
However, even though he knew this, Minister William did not choose to exchange information with Victor.
He had other plans, so he came alone.
The location of this mansion is sparsely populated and relatively remote, but it is not outside the city.
William stared at the door for a long time. After seeing that there was no one else around, he suddenly fell down and turned into a pile of dust, which quickly floated inside through the gap in the iron gate.
Unlike the entrance to the front yard, Miria's house was not locked, so William easily opened the door and entered.
He knew that the house was currently unoccupied, so he sneaked in without knocking.
The purpose is the same as Victor's, to find the clues left by Miria.
There were no lights in the house, the windows were all closed with thick curtains, and the lights were dim. Even in the daytime, visibility was very low.
William walked through the hallway of the entrance hall and came to the living room. The fireplace in front of him had long lost its charcoal fire.
He did not try to light the candlestick, but observed everything in the room.
At first glance, the layout of the house is not much different from the big houses where wealthy people live.
William climbed the stairs to the second floor and stayed in the library and bedroom for a whole hour. Except for women's personal belongings and some world famous works, he found no useful clues.
But since she is convinced that this is where Miria once lived, she must have some agenda when she chooses to "settle down" in Renekton.
Thinking of this, William turned into sand and dust again, filling the entire building.
The tiny cracks in the wall, under the bed, and in the water pipes were all filled with the sand that he had incarnated.
Another half an hour later, all the sand condensed back into William's material body. He walked down the stairs and came to the partition under the stairs. He stretched out his hand and pushed a loose partition in gently.
As expected, there are traps and secret doors hidden in the house.
After opening the secret passage under the stairs, William went down the damp stone steps until he found a strange painting blocking the end of the passage.
The painting shows a lady in a red dress, with glamorous makeup, holding a glass of red wine that seems to be filled with blood, and looking seductively ahead.
Although William had never met Miria in person, he still guessed the identity of the person in the painting, so he walked through the side passage and ignored the portrait.
However, the strange thing is that when William walked past the painting, he always felt that the eyes of the woman in the painting were staring at him.
So, Mr. Minister stopped and stared back at it coldly.
"Hmm... little trick..."
He said calmly, then waved his hand and the sand was instantly covered.
When the painting was about to be swallowed up by William's sand, suddenly, the woman in the painting let out a strange laugh.
That laughter seemed extremely terrifying in such a quiet underground passage. If ordinary people encountered it, they would probably be mentally and physically unstable for a while.
However, William ignored her until the painting was completely wiped out, and then some kind of mechanism was activated.
Um?
William frowned. Out of sight, some prison doors were opened, and the bat-winged demons imprisoned inside immediately rushed out and gathered at the human location above.
It turns out that the painting was an alarm. Except for Miria herself, anyone who breaks into this underground passage will activate the trap and release all the bat-winged demons that Miria has fed!
William sighed, already feeling the huge underground fortress and the commotion of monsters below.
Under normal circumstances, people would choose to flee for their lives when faced with the threat of hundreds or thousands of bat-winged demons.
But William is no ordinary person, he is the real knower, the immortal mummy...
If the underground monsters are allowed to break out of the house, they will wreak havoc in the city.
This was not the result the Minister of Defense and Suppression wanted to see, so he decided to kill them all right now!
…
In the following period, the secret passage leading to the underground fortress was filled with bloodshed.
Almost none of the dead bat-winged demons on the ground could keep their whole bodies.
At the end of the passage, where all the bat-winged demons were killed, William, wearing a thick coat, wielding a cane and lighting a cigar, arrived at the central core of the fortress.
There was a swaying lounge chair there, and a strange guy was lying on the chair. He seemed to be waiting for William, sitting there for a long time.
