The sprouts growing out of Taniel's face were twisting unconsciously.
However, when Jason looked at Taniel, these sprouts instantly became sharp and straight, as if they were shot out from the string.
Whoosh whoosh!
Densely packed flesh sprouts rushed towards his face, but Jason reacted in an instant and took a step forward with his right foot.
Not only did he avoid these sprouts, but the back of the broad-bladed short-handled machete in his hand hit Taniel's neck.
Snapped!
There was a crisp sound.
Taniel's eyes turned white and he fell to the ground.
The granules that fell to the ground twisted rapidly, looking like strips of maggots.
Then, they withered one after another at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But Taniel, who should have fainted on the ground, stood up unsteadily.
He pulled his chin with one hand and his tongue with the other.
Then, use both hands hard.
Immediately, Taniel's face turned purple and veins were exposed on his temples.
"Si ot yn!"
"'i!"
In the low reply, Jason raised his hand and pointed at Taniel.
The invisible [Protection from Evil] force field instantly enveloped Taniel.
Taniel, who was trying his best to tear out his tongue, trembled all over and collapsed to the ground.
About ten seconds later, Taniel gradually woke up.
He looked at Jason who was standing.
Then he looked at himself lying on the ground.
Feeling numbness on tongue and pain in jaw.
The young teacher from Deer Academy couldn't help but ask:
"I was infected by something again, and am I under control?"
"Um."
Jason nodded and carefully controlled the distance between the two parties.
In fact, Jason has never had any real contact with Taniel since the beginning.
Because Jason wasn't sure if those 'granules' had any other channels of infection.
He didn't want a patch of maggots growing on his face.
Taniel, who didn't notice Jason's movements, skillfully took out several potions to relieve and treat the pain.
However, when he applied the medicine on his chin, he suddenly let out a cry of surprise.
"My skin seems to be smoother!"
"The dirt in the pores is gone!"
"but……"
“Why do pores become enlarged?”
Taniel took out a small mirror from the backpack on the other side of his waist. After observing himself carefully under the slanting sunlight, he shouted to Jason.
"You really can't remember anything?"
Jason asked.
"I got stuck on my face with that tongue, and then..."
Taniel's expression changed as he spoke.
Obviously, he thought about it.
"I must have been infected by something on that tongue."
"There are maggots on the face."
"They can shoot like arrows."
"Then, the infected person will pull out his own tongue and use it as the source of infection next time."
"Or, those maggots are also the source of infection."
"Maggots on your face... yuck!"
Taniel, who was talking to himself, couldn't bear it anymore and bent over and started vomiting.
Jason's eyes looked at Pea Street again.
He could already guess what happened on Pea Street.
According to what happened to Taniel, it is impossible for ordinary people in Pea Street to survive.
Ordinary people simply cannot dodge those arrows that look like 'granulal sprouts'.
As for Sir Beta?
Such a thing happened, and the old Jazz still ignored it, so the situation must not be good.
Of course, more importantly -
Will this situation spread?
It would be fine if it was just on Pea Street.
If it goes beyond the scope of Pea Street and spreads to the entire Lord...
Thinking of this, Jason's heart sank.
You know, he still has to stay in Lord for at least one day.
This spread must be stopped!
In an instant, Jason made up his mind.
At this time, Bundy, who was informed by Finch, finally arrived with someone.
Two teams of twenty people brought two flatbed carriages.
Boxes of explosives were neatly stacked on top.
"How about it?"
Bundy ran up to Jason and asked.
Jason, who had used up too much energy to use [Protection from Evil], didn't say much. After pointing at Taniel, he let Bundy ask questions while he picked up the spicy 'holy water' and drank it in big gulps.
A burning feeling rose from his stomach, and Jason became energetic.
"The spicy one is better than the regular one?"
Jason was surprised to feel the difference between the two.
Bundy walked over with a sinking look on his face.
"We absolutely cannot allow this kind of thing to spread!"
The Sheriff said firmly.
Then, he pointed to the two flat carriages and asked:
"Are these bombs enough?"
"If it's not enough, I'll gather some more."
Obviously, after working with Jason several times, Bundy already knew a truth——
Facing the 'weird' and 'mysterious', there is nothing that bombs cannot solve!
If it can't be solved...
That means there are not enough bombs!
"Mix some more."
"And kerosene."
"It's best to bring back the artillery from before."
Jason said.
"Leave it to me."
Bundy immediately turned around and prepared to mobilize the needed bombs, kerosene, and artillery.
However, the real departure of the Sheriff has not yet occurred.
A team suddenly appeared on both sides of the street, completely blocking this street and Pea Street.
Each member of this team is strong, tall, and has a fierce aura. They wear uniform black leather armor and soft leather trousers. They have long swords or short knives and revolvers at their waists, and they hold different styles in their hands.
A rifle.
Bayonets were inserted into the rifles, and as the queue advanced, cold light shone in the setting sun.
Tread, tap!
The uniform steps brought considerable pressure.
Finch and other detectives and police officers couldn't help but raise the guns in their hands.
"do not move!"
Bundy shouted.
Then, run directly towards this team.
Is it the army?
Jason guessed uncertainly.
Although this team looks like an army, the weapons distribution is uneven, which is completely different from a uniform army.
"They are the 'mercenaries' of the mayor's special adviser!"
Taniel whispered.
On 'mercenary', Tanier emphasized the pronunciation.
Mercenaries?
Does the Special Adviser also have ‘mercenaries’?
Doubt flashed in Jason's eyes.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a black coat and gray pants had already walked over with Bundy.
The other party took off his hat with a smile, put it on his chest, and saluted Jason.
"Thank you, Lord Jason, for everything you have done for Lord."
"But please leave the rest to us."
"after all……"
"We are the professionals when it comes to dealing with the 'Secret Order'!"
The other party said, without waiting for Jason's answer, he waved at the mercenary behind him.
Immediately, these mercenaries rushed into Pea Street in order.
Jason frowned as he looked at the mercenaries rushing into Pea Street, but his mind was thinking about the noun the other party just mentioned:
Secret order!
At the same time, Jason noticed that Taniel's face was pale.
"It's actually the Secret Order!"
"Jason, why don't we go to another city for a vacation first?"
"I'll cover travel expenses, food and accommodation!"
Taniel said very quickly.
It was obvious that Taniel knew something.
So scared that I was scared out of my wits.
However, Jason didn't ask.
Because, according to his status as a 'night watchman', he should also know about this organization.
Even though Taniel was confused most of the time, Jason would never risk asking.
Details determine success or failure.
Taniel is a fool.
But others are not.
Jason's eyes glanced at the surrounding shadows.
Many people gathered among them.
Jason was certain that the identities of these people were all mysterious people at last night's rally.
He could already smell the food he had purchased among these people.
"Did everyone gather here because of the strange behavior on Pea Street?"
"etc?"
"Everyone?"
"Something's wrong!"
The scene in front of him inexplicably reminded Jason of the 'Moon Mask' club that had been organized and attracted many mysterious people.
Could it be...
Subconsciously, bad associations appeared in Jason's mind.
"run!"
Without hesitation, Jason yelled, turned around and ran away.
