"Huh? Ailebella didn't come back last night?" Chai Anping walked out with messy hair and was startled. There were no Ailebella's shoes at the entrance.
When she opened the door to her room, she saw that the quilt was folded and no one was there at all.
He couldn't help but frown. Although he didn't have the status to criticize other people's behavior, staying out all night was a bit much.
Chai Anping shook his head and opened the door to get the milk: "Huh?"
Today's milk was not delivered...
"what happened?"
I looked back at the clock and saw that I didn't get up very early today. It was already the time when the morning market started to get busy?!
After washing, I changed my clothes and went out. The street downstairs was now empty. I rarely saw a figure who looked frightened and walked in a hurry.
Chai Anping walked into Renata's bakery. Fortunately, although Renata had a "Closed" sign on the door, the door was unlocked and she could be seen working in the shop through the glass window.
"Renata, what's going on outside?" Chai Anping made some noise, which made her realize that she asked immediately.
"Ah...it's Gracie! You scared me to death!"
Renata was so excited that she almost threw the plate out of her hand.
"..."
Chai Anping felt even more strange when he saw this. Why are there so many strange things happening today?
Renata has always been a bold and unscrupulous person. Can I scare her with just one word?
Renata turned her head and stared at the street for a while. When she saw that no one was passing by, her nervous expression relaxed a little: "Hey, by the way, where is your little sweetheart? Why didn't he come out with you?"
"Ahem...it's nothing." Chai Anping scratched his nose with a strange expression: "You'd better tell me what happened to everyone today. No one has delivered any milk to me."
"Who dares to give it away without risking his life?!"
When Renata heard this, she exclaimed: "Thank you for coming back early last night, I'll tell you..."
"Something happened last night! There were people dead on the Bailiya Commercial Street three blocks away from us!"
"Last night, the demon searchers captured and stabbed a wizard. A dozen wizards were driven into panic and started killing people on the street. I don't know how many people died. I heard that even the demon searchers were dead.
few."
"What?!"
Chai Anping was shocked. The place where he had dinner last night was in Bailiya Commercial Street!
After he came back, a war broke out between the magicians and the mages?!
"Alas! Wizards are getting more and more rampant now." Renata didn't notice Chai Anping's current expression, and said sadly: "Even such horrific things have happened in the capital, and I want to go back to the countryside to live for a while.
"
"..."
Chai Anping didn't answer, he was in a state of confusion now... Not only because the conflict caused by the mage in the capital became more and more intense, but also because Ellerbella didn't come back last night!
Gritting his teeth, he rushed home, took his identity token and put on a piece of chain mail.
"Bring the sword... too!"
He didn't care about eating and went out immediately. He wanted to find Ellerbella Green!
"It will be fine..."
Holding the sword and running directly towards Balia Commercial Street, Chai Anping's mind kept flashing back to Ellerbella's voice and smile, and he clenched his hands involuntarily.
"stop!"
As soon as he ran out of the street, he was stopped by a group of guards under martial law. The leader of the team scanned him with sharp eyes: "The front is blocked, please go around!"
Chai Anping quickly showed his ID card: "I am a palace guard!"
The team leader who was originally very hostile to him changed his expression slightly after hearing this. The team leader took the card and checked it, then frowned and said: "I'm sorry, this area is already under martial law by our city defense army. You are alone.
What are the palace guards doing here?"
"I..." Chai Anping was speechless, and then said in a solemn voice: "My home is nearby. I just heard about what happened here this morning. I have... a family member who didn't come home last night."
"...I'm sorry." The captain suddenly understood after hearing this: "Finn, please take this gentleman in to claim..."
"Thank you!" Chai Anping said gratefully.
The squad leader shook his head and patted Chai Anping on the shoulder: "Brother, don't be too sad. There are still many injured civilians who have received emergency treatment inside. Maybe..."
Chai Anping nodded, and immediately followed the young guard named "Finn" who came out and rushed towards the place where the injured and corpses were received.
"Please take me to the place where the bodies are kept first," Chai Anping said solemnly.
He would rather see Ellerbella's body with his own eyes than find out that she was not there after checking all the injured.
"OK."
Entering this commercial street that was under martial law, he was not the only person dressed as a civilian. There were also many people who also came to look for their relatives and looked miserable.
"Damn...Mage!"
Seeing this scene, the fear in Chai Anping's heart turned into endless anger, and his hand kept trembling on the hilt of the sword, wishing that he could kill those beasts who regarded human life as nothing here last night one by one.
Fenn led him to a shop that had been temporarily converted to store corpses. After explaining the situation to the guard, Chai Anping received permission to enter.
The windows of the shop have been sealed and the back wall has been opened. Chai Anping couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when he walked in. The dense white cloth came into view.
"So many people died..."
There are nearly a hundred corpses parked here!
Are these mages crazy?!
There were a lot of urgently transported ice cubes placed in the shop, making the dark room very cold. A soldier in white robes asked him about the characteristics of the family he was looking for, and Chai Anping told the truth.
"Women between the ages of 15 and 30 are all over there, go find them yourself."
"call……"
Heaving a sigh of relief, Chai Anping followed the soldier's instructions and trudged to the direction he pointed.
There are twenty or thirty corpses here, which is a lot compared to the proportion. After all, there are more young girls in the commercial street at night.
One by one, the white cloth was lifted up and examined, and some people's bodies were destroyed beyond recognition by the mysterious power, but it was still possible to tell that they were not Ailebella.
"These are young lives...!"
Chai Anping didn't know what kind of murderer it would take to attack these innocent people. The only person who died at his hands was the notorious murderer Quick Leslie, but even so, he still felt a little uneasy.
After all, the loss of a life cannot be undone!
Chai Anping walked out of the cold morgue half an hour later. His hands and feet were a little cold. Finn, who had been waiting, asked anxiously: "Brother, are you there?"
Chai Anping let out a breath of relief when he heard this, and then said with a complex emotion:
