Chapter 458 This Body Was Hollowed Out
"Crack!" There was a sound of bone shattering.

Sidney's consciousness has long been in a trance. At this moment, Fanning's punch with an invisible force pushed his forehead into a row of tiny pits, and he fainted and fell to the ground.

"hiss"

Fan Ning, who had severe pain in his knuckles, took a breath, and shook his hand again, feeling that this impromptu decision was not ideal.

For those who have not descended into the chariot, except for a few bonuses from studying "cocoons" or "pools", their bodies are still useless in general.

"These two should help each other."

The two bodyguards standing in the shadows were slightly conscious, but felt that they could not control the strength of their hands.

"boom!--"

There was a gunshot, the head was cut open, and blood gushed out.

In this attic where the sound insulation is surprisingly good, it is obviously difficult for this sound to be transmitted to the noisy dance floor below.

Fan Ning squatted down, tapped the burly man's finger into the pool of blood, and then tapped it on his list.

Sidney Arcadio's name left a scarlet fingerprint.

After doing enough "paperwork" in a serious manner, Fan Ning picked up the man who was taller than himself, and with the help of the commanding force of "Key", he felt as light as a scarecrow.

He screwed out a big hole out of thin air on the front window and the surrounding walls.

Fanning jumped straight down and landed on the street.

He threw the unconscious Sidney to the ground, sprinkled the "candle"-like luminous psychic liquid around him in a ring, and ignited several specific corners of his clothes and pants.

"Glory appears!" He spit out the mysterious ancient Janus language.

A beam of golden light soared into the sky, bursting into intense fireworks in the night sky.

This is really related to the "unfallable fire", an out-and-out, authentic lighting spell.

"What Sidney is doing is 'dispatch', which sounds nice. It's actually connecting with the 'order demand' of the frontline military, providing information to the supplier, and taking care of other troops involved in the transportation route. Well, similar to the role of an intermediary broker in the smuggling chain."

After doing all this, Fanning's physical appearance began to change.

In a blink of an eye, it looked like Sidney, a burly man lying on the ground.

In fact, even if the widow didn't speak up before, Fan Ning knew that the soaring prices, the collapsing economy, and the miserable people. The root cause was that the trade chain in the southern continent was completely broken. The country fought over the so-called "territorial dispute", but what fueled the flames was the rampant smuggling.

The latter contributed at least [-]% of the price increase.

The trend of smuggling already existed, but the drastic changes in the situation seemed to stimulate a certain instinct in people's bones at once, so that it was almost to the point of flooding.

There are 14 county towns in Janus, and Fan Ning has been to 8 of them all the way. Smuggling cars and smugglers can be seen everywhere in the various mountains and fields. Take a rest on the road.

The main method of these traffickers is to purchase rice noodles, grain, oil, meat and vegetables, fruits and cloth in small towns and villages, sell them to big cities or the front lines of war, and then bring high-end luxury goods or industrial daily necessities in big cities back to small places. High-end products earn money from nobles and squires, while daily necessities earn money from commoners.

The same situation existed in the warring Kingdom of Lydia, and even in the currently neutral Tiolein in the northern continent.

Going back and forth, it is common to make four or five times the profit. Some of them play more openly, and take advantage of the new wave of enclosures in the southern country to shuffle the cards and do their business there. The profit is [-]% Both.

Of course, the Special Patrol Office and other official organizations will not pay too much attention to trivial matters such as smuggling. The new abnormal areas in the southern country, and the whereabouts of Scheler and "Red Pond" after the "Meat Sacrifice" are the focus of attention—— No matter how high your prices are, and how expensive the smugglers are, can you wipe out a whole continent?
The nobles and the factory owners collude with each other, and the army is severely corrupted. It is not ruled out that a few officials with knowledge are also involved, and the authorities know it well.

Fan Ning planned to arrest some of the people who could be arrested in Lebic tonight, and then arrest other people after his duties were released. He would use the teaching halls of churches in various places to make full use of them, and lock them up neatly.

If it is really not enough, the stolen money can also be used to renovate and expand the venue.

These little people engaged in illegal activities are more or less related to secret organizations. Fanning is planning to use crowd torture tactics, violently screen intelligence in the abnormal area, and continue to pursue clues to Sylvia.

Pull out the radish and bring out the mud. As for the nobles, military and factory owners who were implicated, they kindly helped the church clean it up by the way. They are all brothers, so you don’t need to thank them.

"Oliver, this person seems to be hiring coolies and arranging vehicles. He has a relationship with Yaroslav in the transportation department. He is responsible for 'purchasing work' in various towns and villages, that is, using large-scale centralized procurement to collect farmers at low prices. Grain, oil, meat and vegetables. Lynch, the "Purchasing Work" line, responsible for regional price control, running on the channels of law-abiding merchants, Isabel, one of the acquaintances at the party of the Descending Society, the wife of a Viscount in the Lepic area, because Can get a lot of high-end good goods and is very popular in the noble circles, one of the party messengers of the Academy of Descending Gods should be a middle-to-high-ranking person with knowledge."

Fanning, who had turned into Sidney lying on the ground, glanced at the long and wide checklist.

After briefly staying on the names of several other people connected with Sidney and his son, he quickly disappeared into the alley in a blink of an eye, leaving only the man lying in the snow water and a beam of light soaring into the sky.

After 3 minutes, there was a "creak".

In a private library in a noble mansion, the window at the end of the corridor on the third floor opened.

The library did not turn on the lights, but dozens of people leaned against the bookshelves, sitting on the ground and reading, and a few candles were lit on the ground in the middle.

In the narrow corridor, the pale flames reflected the faces of people, and the scene was extremely quiet and eerie.

"Sidney? Are you here to 'study' or to 'send orders'?" Isabel, the blond lady in the innermost place, closed her book and spoke softly.

"Please follow me to Lebage Church," said Fanning.

"What's going on crazy?" The men and women next to me laughed.

Fanning's tone was filled with compassion and heart-wrenching remorse:
"I was taught by Father Lavoisier, and I am now on the alert. Please go and confess with me quickly."

Isabel, who was farthest away, narrowed her eyes.

"Dude, your business has gone to church?"

"Hey, how does it feel, have you shot your brains and your body lately?"

Someone shouted directly.

Fan Ning beckoned, and a military-style shotgun flew out of the man's hand.

"Boom! -" "Boom! -"

Light smoke floated up, and the person's torso blossomed immediately, and his stomach was covered with walls, demonstrating what it means to be hollowed out.

"It's very difficult for this lamb to be vigilant, so I will rescue it first."
