Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 196 [Two Stories]

"Name."

"Heisenberg, Heisenberg Diegling."

"Please describe the whole incident in detail."

"Why, am I a prisoner now?"

"No, Colonel, you should also know that this is the Security Bureau's procedure..."

Heisenberg took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

This is indeed the Security Bureau's consistent procedure.

However, he felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, after all, he was usually the one asking the questions.

The time now is the morning of the third day.

The fog and rain in Winster had lifted.

The sea breeze blew calmly across the city, and seagulls landed on the famous Beihai Street, where there were still remnants of ribbons that had not been swept away.

Everything seemed to be back to normal.

Only the faint cries coming from the houses and the white cloths hanging on the buildings can make people feel the pain that this city has experienced.

Yesterday evening, after Charlie and Ned met up at the Prohibition Bureau, Heisenberg and the others soon emerged from the sewer.

After both sides confirmed that Sandro was dead and the underground magic circle was completely destroyed, they finally confirmed that Winster's crisis was over.

But cleaning up the mess is still a difficult and troublesome task.

First of all, how to explain this incident.

Although the True Name World is not completely hidden from ordinary people, there are also ordinary people who know the True Names and the existence of the True Name World.

But in most people's worldview, the world is still normal, without those supernatural things, and those events that sound incomprehensible are just legends and anecdotes.

This is also the official attitude.

So, in the end, this incident was characterized as the former Winster Governor Osvaldo, after being found out for corruption, bribery, and money laundering, in order to evade legal sanctions, he joined forces with the gangster Brotherhood of Steel, and together they drugged the entire city with hallucinogenic drugs and then launched a massacre.

In the end, it was Chief Judge Ned who led the Prohibition Bureau, members of the Kingdom Statistics Bureau, and enthusiastic citizen Ethan Pauletta to quell this horrific riot.

After the city's order was initially restored, the surviving staff of several major newspapers immediately printed the latest newspapers, which also gave a definition to the incident.

In addition to grieving, everyone also hated Osvaldo to the extreme. In contrast, their favorable impression of Ned, the Prohibition Bureau, the Kingdom Statistics Bureau, and Ethan reached the extreme.

Especially Ethan. Although the newspaper shared the credit equally among everyone and did not highlight anyone in particular, Ethan was a celebrity after all, and everyone noticed him at a glance.

Ethan is now the hero of Winster.

Of course, the hero himself is now in the Prohibition Bureau, awaiting investigation.

After all, what is published in the newspaper is for the general public to read.

The Kingdom Security Bureau wants to find out what the real truth is.

However, because Ned and the others had basically lost consciousness before the final battle, how things ended was entirely up to Ethan.

He didn't even have to say it.

But if you say it, it can solve a huge problem.

That is, the King of the North Sea.

The Kingdom Security Bureau's investigation into the King of the North Sea can end here.

Ethan no longer has to worry about being watched all day.

His version of events was that before he passed out, he heard the voice of Gustav, who was the one who ultimately eliminated Sandro.

Sandro is the King of the North Sea.

This was the final strategy Ethan and Gustav decided on.

Put the blame on him.

The Kingdom Security Bureau could not verify this because Gustav had already left.

The situation at that time was that after Ethan confirmed that Sandro was completely dead, he felt that the power of faith of the entire city was surging towards him.

He had two choices at the time.

1. Completely absorb these forces and become the new King of the North Sea.

The price is that once the sacrifice is completed, the entire Winster will become his sacrifice.

Second, give up these powers and return them to their original owners, and the entire Winster crisis will be resolved.

Everyone can survive.

Ethan chose two.

When faith dissipated and the magic circle shattered, the only one who could move and was still clear was Gustav.

Gustav and Ethan chatted for a while.

He told Ethan that he had gained extraordinary powers and that he would no longer stay at Winster University because his research had come to an end.

He is going to look for new knowledge and content.

At the same time, his mind seemed to have awakened. He saw through Ethan's difficulties and said that he could help take on everything and push everything to him.

Finally, the two men looked at each other across the thick ground.

Gustav left.

Before leaving, Ethan asked him, "Where are you going?"

"I don't know. Maybe I'll go to the Old World. After all, that's where all history originated."

There may be many holes in Ethan's story, but the people in the Kingdom Security Bureau have no way to verify it.

The only witnesses they could find were the people from Winster, the ones Gustav had saved.

Those people could prove what Ethan said, that Gustav had indeed awakened a different power, which was very powerful.

Especially El, he also said that Gustav did go to the city to save Ethan.

They had to accept this conclusion, and Gustav ended the pollution incident.

"Thank you, Mr. Ethan, for cooperating with our investigation. Please understand that we are not targeting you. After all, you are also working hard to save this city."

Although the Kingdom Security Bureau still had doubts, they had to be careful with Ethan.

Ethan's identity is becoming more and more important and special.

Moreover, they really admired Ethan for standing up in times of crisis.

They admired everyone who stepped up.

Even Joseph, who had already become notorious for the public trial, was a hero in their eyes.

As the questioning ended, Ethan walked out of the room and happened to see Joseph, who had also finished the questioning, as well as Heisenberg and others.

"Everyone, I have a suggestion. Why don't we have a meal together? No matter what, we are all comrades who have fought side by side, right?"

In the past, Heisenberg would never have eaten at the same table with a guy like Ethan who came from the mud.

But Ethan was right, they were indeed comrades-in-arms.

In particular, although Heisenberg fell into a coma at the last moment, his years of experience and his intuition told him.

Ethan probably played a bigger role in the final battle, far more than he said.

That said, Ethan probably saved his life.

"Okay, let's go together. Can Mr. Ethan provide some delicious grape water?"

He said this in a joking tone.

Ethan nodded.

"of course."
