The Spirit World

Chapter 507 Elaine
"Captain, I am innocent... As a goblin, I dare not cause any trouble on weekdays. I am just doing business, how could I get into trouble? I must be innocent... Captain!"

Dona, the short goblin, was in the custody of the Eagles and begged for mercy: "Sir, it's really unfair..."

"I haven't said anything yet..." Kraft frowned and glanced at him, the seriousness in his eyes seemed to urgency.

Chang Yufeng and Lin'er stood aside and watched. Chang Yufeng understood that the next three people being detained must be the key to the reason for the city closure.

No matter how much I thought about it before, it was not as good as a word from the person involved.

Kraft lowered his head sternly towards Dona. He was too tall, so he could only bend down and lower his angle of view to look at the goblin Dona. He looked at Dona with his own eyes, which were like steel knives, and almost scared Dona. The more he did this, the more nervous Dona became, and his legs were shaking.

"I received a notice that among the two people in the guide hall, there are three shadow hunters. Their names are Dona, Holliard, and Rias. Let's not talk about whether there are people pretending to be you. You are the real Dona." Kraft stood up, stared at the woman named Rias and said: "Rias. Or."

Kaf turned his stern eyes towards the tall man as if judging him.

"Holliard."

Among the three of them, except Dona, two of them showed very interesting smiles.

"Mr. Kraft is really wise. He found three Shadow Hunters in one go. He's going to be a high-ranking official~" Rias touched her hair and lifted it up. The soldiers who detained her didn't dare to do anything to her.

She said this in a charming way, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. Seeing that Kraft didn't pay attention to this, she was even happier: "Mr. Kraft is so smart, he must have received endless praise from Lord Longxu~"

Kraft also sneered, straightened his legs, put his hands behind his waist, and the sleeves of his military uniform fluttered in the breeze.

"Mrs. Rias, you don't have to be sarcastic. When I arrest someone, I never care about verbal evidence."

Of course, Kraft did not produce any physical evidence, but just said this with a very tough attitude.

"Captain Kraft, that's wrong." Holliard also began to defend himself. They had not been detained yet, and it was still somewhat reliable to defend himself in front of so many people in the Guide Hall, because the first thing he needed to prove was whether Kraft arrested people without reason.

Of course, the situation here is not that serious. The Flying Eagle Team is directly under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is headed by Lord Longxu and backed by Her Royal Highness the Princess. Even if they catch the wrong person, it won't be a big deal.

The worst that can happen is that Kraft will receive a minor punishment.

They are publicly defending themselves here, largely because...if they were in jail, Kraft would not be so easy to talk to.

"Let's not talk about the other two. Just now, I was here, discussing with my friend about our Chamber of Commerce's delivery of goods to Yagoda. We have never left here during this period. The guide Mike we hired can also prove that my friend and I have never left here." Holliard made room for his friend, a middle-aged man, to stand in front, and the young man, who should be the guide Mike, saluted each other.

"We can prove that Mr. Holliday has always been with us and it is impossible for him to have any connection with the Shadow Hunters." Mike showed his guide certificate and badge.

Guide certificates and badges should be able to be faked in a short period of time, so this paragraph is highly credible.

Chang Yufeng wanted to see how Kraft would make the decision.

In fact, the Eagle Team does not need suspicious persons to defend themselves when arresting them. They can just take them to jail directly. If they resist on the spot, the matter will be confirmed. This is a special "fishing" behavior commonly used by young and energetic people.

Of course, if this happens, the reputation of the Flying Eagle Team and the reputation of Longxugong's Ministry of Internal Affairs will be difficult to maintain.

However, after so many years, Longxugong has hardly ever caught the wrong person.

Therefore, the probability that the three of them are real Shadow Hunters disguised as Chamber of Commerce members is extremely high.

I don't know if I missed any details, but as it stands now, it's Kraft who is in trouble.

Kraft took out a piece of paper: "Do you remember this?"

The pieces of paper were laid out like a list. Chang Yufeng did not see the words on them. Kraft just laid them out for the three of them to look at.

The three of them looked at the text in shock and looked at Kraft in disbelief.

"You think you have a plan that is perfect, but in fact, it is full of loopholes..." Kraft put away the paper and put it in his waist: "Arrest him."

Chang Yufeng looked at the reactions of the three people in confusion. He didn't expect Kraft to bring out the evidence so directly. The shocked expressions of the three people made them tremble in disbelief.

"I... I admit my mistake... I am a Shadow Hunter..." Dona put on the hat tremblingly. His entire head was in the hat so that he could not see anything.

"So... there's no end to the acting... Mr. Kraft is so annoying~" Rias sighed a little worriedly.

"So there is evidence..." Holliday also lowered his head dejectedly.

Afterwards, the three men's mouths were sealed, and they could only stammer and shake their heads in confession. In the team, the detainees grabbed their shoulders sternly.

"What's going on?" Chang Yufeng was also confused. Kraft did indeed catch the three people and walked out of the guide hall.

And now, he could only be complete if he followed Kraft, so he and Lin'er slowly followed behind Kraft's team.

This matter cannot be left to the surface. It may be related to the whole thing, but the details are still unclear.

As for the whole thing, Chang Yufeng did not watch the entire process, so when Kraft arrested people, his judgment made him a little confused. After all, the first thing to do now is to protect himself.

Kraft had evidence to arrest people, so everything could be explained. When they saw the evidence, it was also understandable that the three of them were detained and brought to justice. Now that things have come to this, the first thing to judge is that the other two people who gave evidence were lying, so the two accomplices should be arrested. There is also a possibility that they did not commit the crime today, but in a certain period of time before today.

Thinking about it this way, could this matter really be related to them? With the evidence, Kraft could of course arrest whoever he wanted, but the most serious ones should be those infected with the magic energy. Why would Longxugong detain the most important combat force?
It seems that all the Chamber of Commerce members have registered their names just now.

Hatulin's men are at the East Gate, and the highest fighting force of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is in the Guide Hall.

In other words, the Shadow Hunter incident was not serious enough to warrant a city lockdown. It might not be a wise idea to only seal off the city against those infected with demonic energy, because it would be better to let everyone escape from the city at this time, which would definitely prevent more people in Wenti County from dying.

Unless it was really the same as what he thought, what Longxu Gong wanted to do was to sacrifice the people of the entire city to kill all the possible demonic infected people in one fell swoop. This was clearly a bad idea, and no matter who was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he should have done it out of necessity.

So, the whole thing seems to be getting more and more complicated.

"Where are you from, kid? What are you doing following us?"

There was a sword pressed against his shoulder.

This forced Chang Yufeng, who was lost in thought, to stop. Lin'er was startled and moved the sword away. Chang Yufeng was also frightened and immediately reacted to stop the anxious Lin'er.

"sorry, I……"

Before he could say anything, Kraft jumped down from the front of the team, came in front of him, and moved the knife away. The Flying Eagles and the four detained people turned around and looked at Chang Yufeng.

Chang Yufeng could only see Kraft's long legs when he looked straight ahead, and several terrifying crystal clear steel wires that restricted his movements.

"Aren't you the kid who almost bumped into Her Royal Highness the Princess? Do you want to go to jail with us?" Kraft was deeply impressed by this somewhat reckless boy in the team.

"Ah...Brother Kraft...we are trapped in the city..." Chang Yufeng looked at Kraft with some sadness and worry. Instead, Kraft squatted down and looked at him with a smile.

"That can't be helped... Once we finish this, we can go back. Don't worry..." Kraft's smile stopped, but he wasn't so serious: "You two can't follow us... Find a place to hide."

"What happened? My sister and I are very worried... If we can't go home for lunch, our parents will be anxious..." Chang Yufeng looked pitiful, with a frustrated face that was not easy to come by: "If that's the case..."

"You can't follow me...that's it...go hide somewhere else. It's okay to eat...I will go and explain to your parents..." Kraft emphasized that Chang Yufeng must hide himself. He stood up and took out a biscuit wrapped in white cloth from his waist pocket and handed it to Chang Yufeng.

After all, why is Kraft so polite to me...

Chang Yufeng was also very puzzled.

But this long line to the prison seems strange...

Why do I say that...Because the fact that the three Shadow Hunters did not resist would make people feel that they were unnaturally elegant.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that some shadow hunters are elegant, neither spoiled nor noisy, which would be too strange.

"But my mother said that when we are in the city, the first person we should go to when we have trouble is Brother Kraft. He said that you will definitely help."

Chang Yufeng speaks in a baby voice, and in front of Lin'er, this cunning and mischievousness is somewhat cute.

"Have you encountered any difficulties?" Kraft did not give Chang Yufeng a perfunctory answer, which surprised Chang Yufeng a little.

"Yes, I have……"

Chang Yufeng put the cake in his arms, lowered his head, and said this sentence as if unintentionally.

"I just saw... three people who look very similar to these three uncles and aunts~" Chang Yufeng raised his head and smiled at Kraft, revealing his big white teeth.

This shocked Kraft a little. Kraft quickly squatted down, put his hand on Chang Yufeng's shoulder, and stared at Chang Yufeng with a serious look: "Children should not talk nonsense... Even if you are Long Er's friend, you should not talk nonsense. Otherwise, you will be punished."

Kraft's eyes now were similar to the judgmental ones just now, or even worse. However, Chang Yufeng narrowed his eyes happily at such a stern look.

"Of course not... I'm telling the truth. I just ran into those three people at the East Gate. You can go and have a look."

Chang Yufeng smiled, took Lin'er's hand and gave her the biscuits.

Kraft looked at Chang Yufeng with sharp eyes, patted Chang Yufeng on the shoulder, then stood up with a helpless smile. His face was obviously gloomy. He left a message saying, "You are a kid, you'd better hide quickly," and led the team to the prison.

What's going on?
Chang Yufeng's smile disappeared as he looked seriously at the group of people who looked more and more like a fake team.

Was there something written on that piece of paper? Was it to make someone who had not been wronged confess directly?

No, Chang Yufeng wanted to get closer to the truth of this matter. As of now, this truth is really very close to him.

The prerequisite is that you know what Hatulin looks like.

He realized that when things were still undecided, all his logic and thinking were missing the most crucial link, which was about the purpose of the Shadow Hunters and Hatulin. Was it the same purpose or different purposes?

Old Tom had taught him that any Chamber of Commerce he needed to guide could be summed up in one word: Profit.

The most direct way to analyze a chamber of commerce's desire to find a guide is to analyze it based on benefits. For example, the chamber of commerce may take risks and not take the roads recommended by the guides or not listen to the guides' advice to do certain things. The most direct reason is the word "benefit".

They deliver the goods within the stipulated time, and for orders with a higher risk of default, they hope to avoid delays. All things can be analyzed in a similar way.

In Chang Yufeng's opinion, it is impossible for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Hatulin, and Shadow Hunter to cooperate. It is too difficult to find common interests among them...

However, the most terrifying thing is that if the three parties have common interests, then everything they do is equivalent to something huge happening!
This thing includes anything they want that would benefit them if they got it.

Treasure? Scroll of legend? Or some other treasure?
Or maybe, people?

Big news? What big news happened recently?
Wenti County, there has been only one big thing recently!
That is... Elaine - the ice dragon awakens and wreaks havoc in Wenti County.

Yeah, where did Elaine go...did she leave here? If she was sealed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, then where would the Ministry of Internal Affairs take her? In the city?
By the way, in all the reincarnations, as long as Elaine wakes up, Wenti County will start to have a thousand-year blizzard...

Blizzard...

Chang Yufeng looked up at the sky...

The sky is clear, even if the city is closed, it can't change that...

The weather is calm and sunny.

Chang Yufeng got goose bumps all over his body...

He seemed to understand and realize how everything that was happening now should work.

He gritted his teeth and watched Kraft leave with three fake shadow hunters.

Elaine...
