Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 123: The Past and the Murderer
Someone in the conference room issued a low exclaim. This is not a turbulent sea battlefield. It is possible for hundreds of people to die in a small-scale naval battle.
"Newin Harbor" is not only the number one port city in the kingdom, but also a naval port stationed in the kingdom's most elite naval fleet! It has always been a prosperous and open face, and it is also a window to the outside world for Falettis.
The number of victims as high as forty-five people in one night is enough to cause a major earthquake in "Newin Harbor".
ignored the whispers of the audience after hearing this number, Miss Laura continued:
"The victims did not have any common characteristics, including workers, businessmen, the elderly, children, girls, students, and nobles, almost covering all groups of people.
and the perpetrators are very rampant, leaving the body in place directly after the attack. According to our agent's report, every victim's body is, um...how to describe it, it's very abstract! "
heard her spit out the adjective "abstract" with a weird expression. Somehow, all the big people in the room felt a chill behind their backs.
"Madam, do you have any clues or speculations now? Who caused such a murder?"
A representative of the Aristocratic Alliance seemed to have thought of something, and stood up and asked awe-inspiring questions.
At the same time, the faces of the participants in the conference room who are over 30 years old are a little unnatural.
"I’m very sorry, sir, we don’t have any witnesses or clues, and we don’t know who the criminals are. The criminals are like ghosts, appearing out of thin air after committing the crime, and then disappearing out of thin air. I will turn to you for help!"
has just finished speaking, someone has already put forward his own proposal, it is the gentleman of the noble union:
"I think we should lock down the city and find this bold murderer!"
"Yes, there is no crime that leaves no trace at all. We mobilize all our forces to search every corner of the city, and we will surely find the murderer and avenge the victims!"
"..."
, headed by representatives of the Noble Alliance, although they are accusing the offenders, they deliberately or unintentionally characterize the incident as an ordinary serial homicide in advance. At most, the number of victims is somewhat unusually large. That's it.
Some lower-level attendees were inspired by their words and followed in their support.
However, this irresponsible argument caused one person's dissatisfaction.
咚! Boom! Boom!
The sound of fingers tapping the conference table interrupted their next conversation.
Representative of the arakkoa troops, an old man with a straight back and sharp eyes, although his hair was slightly gray, stood up.
He propped his hands on the table and looked at everyone present with eagle-like eyes. An indescribable aura rose from him and enveloped the entire conference room.
Silent...
"Heh——! Although I don’t really want to admit it, as the chief arakkoa guarding the dark side of the city, I must remind everyone who is forgetful.
The tragedy eight years ago can't be avoided again just because we are like ostriches by digging our heads into the sand and pretending to be invisible!
Especially some gentlemen among us should review their own words and deeds. Will they mislead everyone and create more trouble for real solving the problem? ! "
Hearing the words of the old man, key words and vivid pictures popped up in the minds of the big men present. The things that I once wanted to forget quickly resurface from the bottom of my heart, and they are more clear than ever before!
"The past eight years ago? Serial murders? Murder incident?"
"Wells family?"
"Cthulhu Sacrifice?!"
"The fallen **** of opera!"
The representative of the Aristocratic Alliance took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and reluctantly said: "Your Excellency Diesel, you are joking. The Welsh family, which has a connection with the evil god, has been in touch for eight years. It has disappeared in smoke before, how can those damn'murderers' come out again at this time?!"
Diesel is also the chief arakkoa in Newin Harbor, and I don’t even bother to look at him. As a barrier between mortals and the transcendent world, how could he not know what role these guys from the Noble Alliance played in that incident? At this moment, the incident repeats itself, how can he show these guys a good face?
was about to continue speaking out his inference, when suddenly a voice rang in the conference room.
"It's a dead soul box!
is the box that was held by the Wells family for a while and disappeared after making sacrifices to the evil **** eight years ago! "
The person who spoke was a representative of the Royal Naval Academy. He stood up and bowed slightly to everyone present.
"Princeton Principal was in our city before, and he caught the box's fluctuations due to the burst of power, but unfortunately he was a step late. Although he kept tracking afterwards, he couldn't find it again.
Until the ‘Dead Soul Box’ really released those murderers again, we were sure that it did not leave, but was hiding in a corner of Newin Harbor. "
When talking~IndoMTL.com~ His eyes were also on the side of the noble association. Although the box ran away in advance, the bodies of sea hunters and noble private soldiers were hard to hide.
It’s not difficult to guess what happened here...
It is obvious that the Noble Alliance, or some of its members, knew the whereabouts of the Dead Soul Box much earlier than everyone present.
, but with some kind of private thoughts, I didn't report it, but wanted to steal it for myself. It doesn't matter if they succeed with ambitions, at least it shows that they have the ability to match their ambitions.
But with the emergence of "murderers", it has shown that they have failed very thoroughly. This makes people a little irritated, angry at their wanton behavior, and even more angry at the mess that must be cleaned up because of their incompetence!
It’s just that it’s not the time to pursue accountability for the time being, and wait until the crisis is resolved before doing liquidation.
For a while, there was silence in the huge conference room.
The famous "Dead Soul Box" hardly anyone in the room does not know. A few people who had experienced it eight years ago knew this well.
Because just eight years, it is far from enough to erase the damage caused by that trick to the city, as well as the deep marks left in people's hearts.
"Do you have any evidence that the'Dead Soul Box' has appeared again?
You must know that if the ‘Dead Soul Box’ reappears, it means that this event involves an evil god, and it is enough to rate it as a ‘disaster event’, and we must report it to the kingdom! "
I took office only after the incident eight years ago, and Murdoch, the Archon of Newin Harbor who didn't know the whole incident of the year, stood up and asked.
In this matter, as the manager of the city, he must be the first responsible person, and he has to consider it carefully.
