Joanna's team of Judges took Carl and Alice into the London subway station.
This place that has been in operation for decades maintains a very frequent use rate during the day. When going down, you can find that the stairs under your feet have many loose places. If someone is not careful when going downstairs, Karl is sure that person will definitely
Just roll down.
After arriving at the subway platform, the lights were brightly lit, but not a single soul could be seen. As informed before arriving, there were no civilians in the subway station, and some could only be enemies.
"Limit groups of two, search here, don't enter the subway passage without permission!"
After a quick glance, Joanna divided the members of her team into two groups, with herself and Carl as the third group, ready to start searching the place.
"No matter what you find, if you come back here in 10 minutes, if there is an emergency, you will immediately shout for help. Do you understand?"
"yes."
After confirming the assigned search scope, the three groups of people acted separately. Karl and the others were responsible for the main part of the station, that is, the waiting room.
The 10-minute search ended quickly. No special phenomena were found here. Apart from the three of them, there was not even a ghost in the quiet station.
They briefly searched all kinds of places, whether it was the waiting platform or near the railway tracks, but unfortunately there was nothing moving except for the running water on the tracks.
"The time is almost up, let's go back and meet up first."
After looking at the time, Joanna decided to return to where she was just now to see if the other two groups had gained anything.
After all, it was just the first rough reconnaissance, and she never thought that she could hit the target so easily.
But after returning to their scheduled meeting place, something very bad happened.
At the subway station where they had just entered, there was not a single person there.
Except for Joanna and the three of them, the other two groups of people who just left did not come back, and their whereabouts could not be seen around. Something happened!
Out of good intentions, Carl immediately suggested to Joanna:
"Why don't we go see them? Maybe they are entangled in something?"
"No."
Joanna directly rejected Karl's proposal and took out a black stone from her pocket.
"They are all experienced judges and will not make mistakes of this level."
As she spoke, she squeezed the stone hard and turned it into powder.
"What are you..."
Carl asked curiously.
Although he knew that this stone must be a prop with some magical function, he couldn't guess what function it had.
"This is a communication tool to remind companions that the situation is urgent and they need support."
Carl's question was immediately answered, but it was not Joanna who explained to Carl, but Ceryl, who had always been by his side!
"Yes, how did you know?"
Joanna was also surprised to hear this guy talk about the function of the communication stone.
If she remembers correctly, she never told Cyril about the function of this thing. She has been in charge of these two people since they entered the trial agency. How did Cyril know?
"I'm not just playing house in the data room these days. I've still collected some basic knowledge."
Raising her eyebrows, Seliel said with a proud look on her face.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs behind him.
It turned out that Judge Esir came down with his team members.
Seeing the three Karls waiting for them, Esil directly drew his gun and pointed it at them, looking at them solemnly and saying:
"Secret order, coin!"
This was because Esil was suspicious of their identities. He rushed down in less than a minute after receiving the notice. Even so, he cautiously checked their identities first. He had to admire the arbiter's caution.
"May 24th."
Joanna was not surprised and immediately answered the password, took out her identity coin and waved it in her hand, then threw it over after Essier saw it clearly.
After taking the coin, Esil took out his own coin and showed it to Joanna after confirming it. Only then did both parties complete their identity confirmation.
"What happened to make you crush the communication stone?"
Esil asked as he walked over with his subordinates.
Seeing them coming down, Joanna stepped back a little to make way for the passage.
"Just now we were divided into three groups to conduct searches, and we agreed to meet up in ten minutes, but now we are the only ones still here."
"My subordinates also have communication stones, but now there is no response at all."
"I'm afraid they have..."
Joanna's voice gradually dropped, and everyone knew what she meant without having to explain.
He was carrying a communication stone, but it disappeared silently. There is a high probability that the person was killed.
"Alteran, Carlos, and Jack, the three of you go up and guard the exit to prevent anyone from escaping. The rest of us will go together to see what kind of creature dares to confront our judge!"
Esil is also aware of the current situation. The other four teams should be searching the four surrounding stations and will rush here through the subway tunnel. If they do not encounter enemies, they should arrive here in about an hour considering the environmental factors.
They'd better check the situation at the station thoroughly now, otherwise they won't be able to use their hands freely if there are any emergencies when there are too many people.
In this way, after joining up with the people left behind by Esil and others, a six-person team was formed consisting of two adjudicators, two judges, as well as Karl and Cyril.
Following the route just now, they first went to the entrance of the station, which was where Nal and the others were responsible.
When we arrived at the entrance, bright lights illuminated the entire area. But like the stations we checked before, there was still no movement.
It was so quiet within the field of vision that not even a mouse could be seen, as if Nal and the others had never been here.
While everyone was investigating here, Karl felt Seryl tugging at the corner of his clothes again.
What's wrong with this guy?
Looking back, Cyril nodded at him with a strange expression, her furrowed eyebrows told Karl that she seemed to have discovered something, and she was now asking him with her eyes whether he should speak to alert the judges.
Nodding silently, Karl agreed to Cyril's inquiry. At this moment, they were on the same side as the Judge, so it didn't matter if he said it directly.
"I have discovered something, do you want to hear it?"
When permission was granted, Ceryl immediately spoke and attracted the attention of everyone present.
"What did you find?"
Aesil was the first to look over, with obvious distrust in his tone. Would such a guy discover the traces earlier than himself?
