Durin's Diary

Chapter 596 Undercurrent
Two days later, news came that the new director of the Department of Homeland Security had clashed with another team from the north of the Department of Homeland Security during a night operation in which a flood had hit the Dragon King Temple. More than 30 people were killed on both sides.

The new director was shot seventeen times and died in the night.

Du Lin sighed.

Of the ten ministers of the Security Bureau, three were dismissed because of this incident, and the remaining seven were executed after trial.

The old man Joseph was talking about was imprisoned at home.

He was the first person Du Lin visited.

It was one night, Du Lin tore through space as a bone lich and brought Joseph to the living room of the small building where the old man was.

When Du Lin stepped out of the transmission channel, the prepared counterattack had lost its meaning - everyone knew who this was.

The young agents from Sulem Forest Farm knelt on one knee on both sides, while the more loyal Security Bureau agents put their guns to their chins - when it comes to manipulating minds, the Bone Liches are no worse than the Psykers.

Du Lin looked at the middle-aged man who was still resisting. His struggle and the sweat on his face seemed particularly ridiculous to Du Lin.

But it’s okay. Du Lin came here today to ask a question, not to kill people.

So Du Lin sat down on the chair and looked at the old man sitting by the fire: "It was you who betrayed Joseph's brother, wasn't it?"

"People in Chang Tang say that if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth." The old man did not look at Du Lin, but looked at the fire beside him.

"Yes, the Chang Tang people did say that, but you certainly haven't heard the other saying, 'If Heaven doesn't avenge you, I will.' It means that if retribution doesn't come, I will." At this point, Du Lin took the revolver from the kneeling agent, then held it upside down and handed it to Joseph. "He's here. The doors of every room upstairs are open. I'm controlling them. Kill him, then go up and avenge your brother yourself."

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity!" The young boy's face was covered with tears. He stood up, took the gun, and then pointed it at the old man's head and fired.

He fell backward onto the sofa.

Du Lin turned his head, and the cat on the armrest jumped off the armrest, walked towards the fire, and let the flames devour it.

The parrot on the aviary untied its chain by itself, flew up and hit its head against the glass.

It seems that this family doesn't like dogs. That's good, one less animal to be buried with them.

Du Lin sat on the sofa until the child came to the stairs: "My lord, we are out of bullets."

"My fault." Du Lin smiled, stretched out his hand, and a bag of bullets appeared in his hand. He threw it up: "Be merciful, it's smaller than you, just hit the chest."

"Yes, I understand." The young man loaded the revolver and turned away again.

As Dulin listened to the gunshots coming from upstairs, the soul fire in his hand accumulated more and more until a portal opened near Dulin.

The one who came out was old Enrique.

How could it be you?

Du Lin grinned.

"Du Lin, I'm not here to persuade you, but to ask if you can hand over your youngest child to me." This almost made it clear that the owner of this small building was serving the circle.

It’s too late. The child was just beaten to death. His soul is in my hands.

Du Lin shook his head.

You are late. I said before that I will not give face to anyone. The Great Elder also knew that if he came here, he would die, so he found you. He was cruel enough. He was really not afraid that I would kill you, and then go over and kill him too.

"Everyone will die one day, but no matter what, he served the Circle, so we must keep a trace of his bloodline."

·Child, bring down your last goal.

Du Lin activated the wide-area whisper. After a while, the young boy Joseph dragged a child down the stairs.

He pushed the child onto the carpet, and the latter looked at the old man dead on the sofa and burst into tears.

Du Lin stretched out his hand. The boy hesitated, but finally held the revolver upside down and returned the gun to Du Lin.

Dulin took the gun and checked the remaining bullets. When old Enrique reached out and took the child's hand, he raised the gun and fired.

The bullet entered the child's side under his armpit, crushed his heart and then exited from the front of his body.

Dulin stood up, cleaned the gun with a handkerchief, and returned it to the agent.

Old Enrique, to you, he is a loyal heir and a target that must be protected, but to Joseph, he is the child of a traitor. His brother and his brother's colleagues and their families died for this beast, so he must be exterminated.

·For me, too many people and their entire family died because of his grandfather, and now he is the only one left. If he doesn't die, there will be too many regrets that cannot be resolved.

After saying that, Du Lin opened the portal.

People in Changtang say that if you don't remove the roots of the grass, it will grow again in the spring breeze. You may not believe what our ancestors said, but there will always be a time for you to cry.

Go back and tell the Great Elder that I owe the Circle this time. As long as I am alive, if there is trouble in the Eastern Territory, it is my fault.

"Okay." Old Enrique was also a bachelor. He nodded, let go of the dead child's hand, turned and walked towards the open portal.

After sending old Enrique away, Dulin looked at the middle-aged man. He was still struggling, but the strength of Dulin's technique was not something he could resist.

I have seen your loyalty, but I have also seen your weakness. I am leaving without taking a single cloud with me. You can come to the Everburning Nest and try to arrest me. I will be waiting for you.

After saying that, Du Lin opened the transmission channel.

"Thank you." Joseph bowed to Du Lin before walking in.

Don’t thank me, thank those fools who are willing to take the dead end and leave the way of life to others.

After Du Lin finished speaking, he waved his hand and released all controls.

The middle-aged man knelt down and said, "Thank you, sir, for not killing us."

Du Lin laughed angrily, and without saying anything, he hit the middle-aged man on the head with an ashtray.

This jar of mine is a reward for you.

………………

"Lord Durin, you hit the ashtray very well. With this ashtray, no one can say anything bad about you. You kneel down and carry all the weaknesses of others on your shoulders. You are a triple legend. It's normal for you to be afraid of death. No one can blame you." Chief Inspector Melissa sat in the chair and looked at her old friend in front of her.

The latter had a bandage on his head with some blood seeping out. "It's okay for me to be embarrassed, but there are so many young people, so many brothers, what will happen to their future? I must stand up and kneel before Lord Du Lin and take responsibility for all the losses."

"The director already knows about your situation. You probably won't be able to take administrative retirement. The best outcome is resignation. But don't worry, Madam Gala has spoken. Expelling you from the nobility is a noble matter. The royal family will grant you retirement benefits."

"Then I have to thank you, ma'am." The middle-aged man snorted twice.

"Don't blame my lady. This land has always been full of wonders. Lord Du Lin, who is over twenty years younger than you, knows all this. Don't you know it?" Melissa sighed. "Here comes the Land Bureau."

"My trouble is coming." The middle-aged man sighed and stretched out his hand.

Without words, the tailless monkey held hands tightly with the dwarf who was only half his height.
