old dream

Chapter 239 A Slight Chance

Sitting on the steps in front of the house, Goldie took a deep breath.The salty sea breeze is mixed with a few wisps of rust.Because in a small open space in front of this house, there were two wounded who were still groaning, and five corpses that had been covered with canvas.

Detectives in leather boots on a leash check every scent that lingers on the road, detailing everything to make sure no one else escapes.Because several masterminds were said to have driven out from the secret lane, Ernst was very angry about this.

Occasionally, a few gunshots sounded not far away, and a large group of hounds barked tirelessly.A few minutes later, Goldie's partner and the detective dragged another person back here.The man was shot in the back, and his leg was torn deeply by the hounds, and he had already lost his ability to move.

"Except for the five people in that car, that should be all."

After handcuffing the wounded with horseshoe-shaped handcuffs, the young man who had just been transferred to Stade took off his two leather gloves and walked to Goldie who was sitting on the threshold:

"I didn't expect that an organization like ours would sometimes wipe people's butts."

If an outsider links the disappearance of the lieutenant, the action of the ninth game, and the kidnapping of Colin, then the lieutenant's true identity will undoubtedly be revealed.And if the Ankh soldiers of the Stade Institute knew that there was a Sincilian behind the burn mask, it was inevitable that this stable organization would fall into turmoil again.

I believe that the Grand Duke will start to solve this hidden danger sooner or later, but not at this critical time.There can be no surprises just yet.So from the very beginning, the order they received was to get rid of all outsiders.In order to hide Colin's true identity, the Ninth Bureau cannot leave any witnesses in the rescue.

While putting away his gloves, the member raised his chin towards the dark private cell:

"So how is that 'gentleman' doing now?"

He has been wondering what kind of person it is that can make half of the upper echelon of the principality seem to be running for it.But he has also seen the miserable conditions of other prisoners, who are not human.Although the accompanying doctor rushed in immediately, he was still not very optimistic about the nobleman's situation.

"Already unconscious. There were old wounds all over the place and there was so much blood loss that it was a miracle just to be alive."

Goldie said, and then she thought of something else:
"You just said, except for that car?"

"Yeah." He said:
"There is no news over there yet."

More than ten minutes have passed, so those people may have broken out.

Goldie frowned slightly and said:

"But once we miss one person, it's the same as missing everyone."

"I understand...but Mr. Ernst has already chased him personally." The young member said with a smile: "So I believe there will be no big problem."

Goldie's eyes widened slightly. Ernst, as one of the important members of the ninth inning, originally thought that he was just here to sit on the scene.But now, he actually made a move for Colin himself?

Is Colin's identity really so important, or is there something else hidden about this matter?

…………

…………

Windfall.thought Ernst.

They thought their target, "Luca Cestalo," was just an unremarkable sincilian gang leader.It turned out to be very unusual, someone found traces of witchcraft in that prison.But the patriarchs of the "Five Hands" have always tabooed witchcraft, and even the Lantern Keeper organization has become weaker and weaker in recent years, so the appearance of these traces seems unusual.

There happened to be a few people at the scene who had just been transferred back to Stade from outside. They had been working in other parts of the principality all year round, but they felt strangely familiar with the traces here.

An illegal redstone organization that only started its activities this year has spread to the entire principality in a short period of time.It is the root of almost all extraordinary crimes.Because a large amount of illegal redstone flowed into the black market, it was like adding fuel to a flame that was about to be extinguished, instantly making the activities of underground wizards rampant.

In just half a year, the workload of the Ninth Bureau has been equivalent to the sum of the previous four years.They used all means to trace the source of the red stone for half a year, but there has been no result.This incident also became the hatred of the Ninth Bureau, because it shamed everyone in the agency.

Some people began to say that if the previous order had been used to do the work, the result might have been much better.

At present, the only clues they have are a few traces of witchcraft that are difficult to find but cannot be eliminated.

But now, these traces appeared here strangely.

Ernst was advancing rapidly along the hidden path.It is impossible for ordinary people to catch up with cars, but wizards can.His feet were suspended ten centimeters above the ground, moving forward silently like a ghost.

"Luca Cestalo."

If this gang family is connected to illegal redstone, a lot of things suddenly make sense.This kind of organization cannot appear out of thin air in a short period of time, and must have a predecessor and foundation.Unregulated redstone transactions have spread all over the principality, but there is no such thing as here.The latest redstone manufacturing process is from the Seminary. Originally, only two cities had this kind of foundation, Danaro and Stade.

Perhaps, Stade, which seems to be the most peaceful place, is the place where they really started.

Because of this unexpected action, Ernst quietly touched the core of the Redstone organization.

The branches and leaves that were crushed by the car were moving backward rapidly, and the others couldn't catch up with Ernst's speed, so they fell behind.Of course he knew it was dangerous to venture out alone, but the time was always fleeting.

He was originally the only one in the ninth inning who saw an opportunity for Prohibition, but after the defeat of the Ball Brothers, Ernst had lost all leverage and gradually marginalized.Now, everyone related to him is sinking, and what happened to Goldie is just a microcosm.Even he himself was assigned to this most thankless job.And this unexpected opportunity is God's helping hand to him.

So this time, never let it go.

Ernst rushed out of the bushes and saw the country road leading to Stade.A car with mottled paint was quietly parked not far away, which surprised him for a moment.

But Ernst did not hesitate, he was a person who climbed purely by virtue of vision and talent.At such a young age, he already has the strength of Qing Xingtian, even in the ninth round, he can rank in the forefront.In the alliance, outside the system established by the church and the authorities, he did not believe that he would encounter an unmatched opponent.

Consciousness has been connected to the surrounding ether, and all the enemy's arrangements are clearly visible.Some extremely sharp spiritual element lines are approaching, but he is sure to cut off the spiritual element connection behind the lines in advance.

A small trick, but exposed the location of the caster.The spiritual elements from the Blue Star Sky flow into the ether through Ernst as a medium, and a violent high-energy storm is brewing.But at the moment he cut off the other party's connection, Ernst suddenly found out.

The Lingsu summoned by him quietly broke away from the ceremony and was collapsing.

Mass solution.

but why.Ernst showed a puzzled look in his eyes. Mass resolution requires a lot of preliminary investigation. Why does the other party have his own information?
And, if there was a sacrifice of this level in the ninth inning, what would happen next?

But it is futile to think about any problems now, the high-density spiritual element instantly decays into matter, a perfect black geometric fractal that seems to exist only in imagination, completely crushing Ernst's body.
