Sinmonger Chapter 9: Let’s go on the hunt

When the investigation team led by Tea Immortal launched an investigation into the serial murders of nobles in Venice, undercurrents were already surging under the seemingly calm waters of the European continent.

The recent activity of Steel Commandments has suddenly become more frequent. The new defeat of the Inspector General of the Holy City, Camo Bottrini, has shaken his position in the organization to a certain extent. Even with the use of the Holy Cross, a flag officer, and ten knights who are good at fighting, he still He failed to kill the blood owl, and further increased his casualties. As a result, the organization later had to decide to relinquish control of Reflection City and destroy it. If things are done like this, the word "incompetent" will be detained on the head for sure. Fortunately, after this conflict, he still brought back a piece of valuable information, that is, this "blood owl" is likely to be the "God Slayer" recorded in the "Code of Commandments".

Is a prophecy written by the pastor more than 100 years ago enough to be believed? No one can tell, but pastors and chief priests of all generations have the ability to predict the future. This is a well-known thing in the steel commandment. For example, before Botrini left this time, the pastor said, "When the murderer appears in front of you, you will know it is him." The result really came true.

There is a very paradoxical problem here that most religions have yet to solve. For example, those who believe in God, since you firmly believe that this is orthodox religion, and you believe that the world you live in was built by a man who took seven days to build, then you have to believe that the apocalypse will come eventually. You can't just acknowledge the good and ignore the negative.

There is also such a problem with the Iron Commandment. Since you are united under the call of faith, and you believe that everything you do under this banner is right, then you have to believe in those things that are not good for you. prophecy. You can't expect every good prophecy to be fulfilled, and a bad prophecy to be a lie.

Therefore, on the issue of "Blood Owl", the method adopted by Steel Commandment is to neither deny the "Code of Commandments" nor acknowledge the threat of the Blood Owl. This should be the smartest way they can come up with. Could it be that just because this guy is a bit like the portraits that the pastor scribbled casually a hundred years ago, and he killed hundreds of our grassroots members, we should be scared to death? Then how can you stand in front of other resistance organizations? If this news spreads out, wouldn't the empire immediately mass-produce hundreds of plastic-looking blood owls to confuse the public?

Obviously, the leadership of the Iron Commandment has far higher IQs and methods than the village priests who burned innocent village women as witches in the Middle Ages. To put it simply, their beliefs are just a set of beliefs. , make a set.

On the surface, it is possible to make a gesture of ignorance, but in actual action, the head of the regiment is already a dispatcher and strategizing. With Europe as the core, the organization maximizes its strength and is ready to go. As the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days, and using them for a while, maybe the appearance of the "God Slayer" is a signal, urging them to take action... Years of management have made the Steel Commandments enough to compete with the Empire on the frontal battlefield. , Now the time is almost ripe, as long as the world changes, the big things can be solved.

…………

On February 27th, the investigation was carried out for a week, and many headless koans were found around the world, and some pig farms were closed down...and nothing else was found.

The whereabouts of the blood owl are still unknown. He changed his inherent behavior and did not randomly go to a big city to continue his experiments, so he is almost invisible.

There is no more useful information to be asked from the three killers of Silver Shadow. Originally, the purpose of the blood owl leaving these three alive is to prove his "innocence". It sounds unbelievable at first, but it's not difficult to understand. According to Xue Xiao's logic, he can admit that he has killed 10,000 people, but he will never allow others to pretend to be him to kill one person. In short, those three people were not very helpful in tracking the blood owl.

A few days later, the focus of the investigation was shifted to the issue of Colonel Malone, which was also the result of pressure from above. Although it is very important to catch criminals with danger level four, the emotions of the nobles must be taken care of, and the truth of the incident must be found out as soon as possible, so as to have an explanation for the nobles of Venice.

Tea Immortal is very disgusted by this. Those mediocre people are always so short-sighted, and the same is true for the pursuit of Tianyi over the years. He can only rely on the identity of the seventh prince and the power of the HL special agent to a certain extent. Act freely. And once encountered such a case related to the nobles and royal family, without his opening, the European headquarters immediately dispatched a large number of elite soldiers to come to work hard, set targets for him, and give orders to die.

In front of the paper man, the tea immortal also complained without hesitation: "It's a pity to die for a crowd of corpses, but I don't know how many innocent lives will be killed by people like blood owls who run wild in the world. "

Who would have known that the paper man snorted coldly after hearing the words, and the words were even more ugly than the tea fairy: "The corpse's vegetarian meal? This word is not appropriate~IndoMTL.com~ I can tell you responsibly, saying that the common people are fish and meat. , that's pretty light."

Every time I hear these two similar remarks, Instructor Luca is always a weasel -- pretending to be garlic, or just urinating, as if he is intermittently deaf and suffering from a chronic prostate disease. There is no way, one of the two is the emperor's armor, and the words and deeds are unscrupulous, and the other is the hatred of breaking the phase, and it is estimated that he has lost his mind. Uncle, I still want to live in this position until retirement, and go home to enjoy the cadre-level retirement salary. I've been rolling on the edge of the knife for a lifetime, but I can't play with myself like this with the two of you.

Sure enough, in mid-March, when the tea fairy and the paper man were about to leave Europe for Chicago, Luca deduced that the current situation in Europe was unstable, and they had to go back to the headquarters to wait for dispatch and could not go together.

He Xuren, the tea fairy, knew what he was thinking early on. He didn't say anything on the surface, and he didn't force him to keep him. He was very polite to this senior and left.

Anyway, Malone's activities in Venice have been basically investigated, and the rest is just some political shirking of responsibility, so let the people from the European headquarters explain to the nobles.

Eventually, a name called "Consultant" surfaced. It's not that Cha Xian has not seen this name before, but he didn't pay attention to it. In fact, on the special plane to Chicago, he still didn't take this guy of danger level one in his eyes. He knew that the reason for the blood owl's change of behavior was to hunt down and kill the consultant. Judging from the recent reports of the fight between the Chicago Mafia, this guy called the consultant was just a second-rate guy, and he really couldn't be called how smart.

Therefore, the tea fairy at this time believed that this trip would be a hunting trip that kills two birds with one stone. And the paper man who goes with him, his purpose, from beginning to end, is only one...
