Finley took the hot water from Lehman's hand and drank it carefully. He gradually calmed down his racing heart and raised his eyes to meet Pask's gaze.
"Finley, besides them, who else has been here tonight? And who else can we mobilize in the old city now?"
"They are the only ones who have been here tonight. As for manpower, our scattered small contact stations have basically been removed, and the other small strongholds have also been abandoned. Currently, only a few core sites are still maintaining manpower: transfer stations,
The terminal stations are Xicheng Station and Dongcheng Station."
Pask frowned, obviously not expecting that the communication station in the old city would be so completely destroyed and continued to ask
"The transfer station was also completely destroyed. Where are the other surviving personnel?"
"Other survivors??? So calm, Pask. I'm afraid you didn't already know that something would happen in that place..."
Finley trembled and whispered, then suddenly raised his head and stared at Pask, his eyes were already red but the tears had long dried up.
What dried up at the same time was her remaining calmness. She raised her emotions and body suddenly, supported the bar with her hands to maintain the balance of her body, and stared at Pask fiercely.
"The transfer station was burned down by a fire, and he didn't even leave his body behind!"
Finley used his last strength to grab the wine bottle on the bar and slammed it towards the door, but failed to smash the bottle.
"Damn...die..."
The bouncing sound of the wine bottles rippled on the ground, and Finley lost his strength and slid down to the bar again, looking at the ring in his hand with empty eyes and muttering to himself.
"I have long said that it is too close to the night area...too close...you all should try to persuade him at that time...please try to persuade him."
A long sigh came from the top of her head, and Pask swallowed her trembling breath and arranged.
"Finley, you're tired. I'll help you go upstairs to rest. Just leave the rest to me."
But Finley didn't look back and still looked at the ring. Under his empty eyes, a sad and sad smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. When his body was lifted up, he whispered in Pask's ear
"When I heard that the Redlip Orphanage was burned down, you were as calm as ever. It's really you, Pask."
Pask was obviously stunned for a moment but did not stop what he was doing. He just helped Finley and said
"Lehman comes here to help."
With that said, the two of them sent Finley into the room together. After setting up the wind field, they closed the door and Pask led Lehman downstairs again. The heavy footsteps struck Pask's heart over and over again.
Until his calm eyes glanced at the angel necklace that had been placed in the corner of the bar.
Following his strange gaze, Lehman also noticed the necklace hidden in the corner of the bar by a wine bottle.
"It's all the same..."
Pask's confused words swept away his emotions, and he walked quickly towards the bar but ignored the necklace lying there. His emotions were annihilated in his eyes, and his slightly lazy look showed a kind of transcendent relief.<
/p>
"Wake up all the guards to determine the status of the remaining large sites and search for Redrosa and the others. No matter what the reason for their disappearance, we must send out a signal."
Lehman nodded silently and looked at Pask and asked
"Where's the investigation team?"
Pask took a long breath and walked towards the guard at the door without a care and said
"Don't worry about them for now. As long as you stay here, they will come. After arranging the personnel, I have to go to the orphanage. It's okay to leave the guarding of the store to you, Lehman."
Lehman opened his mouth and hesitated, but didn't say anything. He just nodded and walked towards the unconscious guard.
Soon everyone was awakened. Lehman sat in front of the bar and did not touch the necklace. He just watched Pask's instructions to the awakened people not far away and handed the few domain magic into their hands.
, and then sent them out of the tavern one by one, carefully instructing them on the details of the mission like an old father arranging everything before going out, without any aura that a killer or a superior should have, until the last person was sent away.
, Pask turned around and walked towards Lehman.
"You have no charisma, Pask."
"Humph, what are you talking about? I used to be very popular among children."
Lehman smiled bitterly and shook his head
"Aren't you afraid of people defecting if you give them domain magic even after you told them like this? Besides, they don't seem to obey you, right?"
Pask chuckled and took out three bottles of Domain Magic from his pocket and placed them on the bar with an indifferent expression
"They know my relationship with Finley. It's okay. Besides, even if there is a defection... it's natural, isn't it? Our situation is already at rock bottom, and it won't change based on the loyalty of a few guards.
.
Okay, put away your doubts and guard this place well, I’m going to be on my way too.”
Lehman held three bottles of domain magic with his fingertips and threw them directly to Pask and joked
"I don't need [Wind] domain magic.
At least if you want to give it, you should also take out something decent, such as~~~[Thunder] attribute domain magic."
Pask caught the domain magic with his backhand but froze in place. The corners of his eyes narrowed slightly and his relieved face looked a little helpless
"How do you know I have [Thunder] magic in me?"
Lehman's eyes were stunned, and the corner of his mouth opened slightly with hesitation. To be honest, he just made a lucky joke, but it seemed to have played into his trap.
Pask raised his eyebrows and smiled before reacting. He sighed again and took out a bottle from the deep pocket on his chest with his right hand and placed it on the bar.
"Hope it bless you, Lehman."
After saying that, he didn't look back, lowered the brim of his hat and disappeared into the mysterious fog outside the door.
Lehman looked at the angel wings on the [Thunder] domain magic bottle, and then looked at the angel necklace twisted on the curved surface of the bottle and smiled
"It's so easy to understand, Uncle Pask."
.....................
Mysterious fog's sight flooded into Pask's mind, and the surrounding details unfolded. Pask moved forward in the dark night but did not leave the old city. Instead, after arriving at the terminal, he disappeared towards the alley where the hunter team was wiped out. The sounds of fighting and threats came from the alleys from time to time, but he skillfully avoided them. It was not until a figure flashed in his sight that Pask stopped against the corner.
That's a gentleman in a formal suit, and the investigation team is indeed here.
"How about, can you figure out the attacker's sequence and exit path? Hawthorne."
"No, I can only detect that the [Fire] element is relatively obvious."
"Where are you?"
"It seems that all the witnesses disappeared that day, but it seems that an adult came to the terminal with a child and killed the thief, and then..."
The conversation in my ears was stretched out like an opera, like the exaggerated movements before a magician reveals a riddle.
Pask's eyes flashed and he realized something in an instant. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a hidden gun was pressed against his head, and the charming voice behind him came again.
"Then he went to the center of the city. So I think you should have some clues, right? Mr. Party."
