Can't I develop my own character?

After entering the second level, the demon spirit gained a special ability, which is to hide in the shadow of others and act.

The limitation is that 'Lin Qi' cannot be too far away.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang! ! !

The demon spirit suddenly appeared and began to attack Adler frantically, its swinging fists turned into afterimages and slammed into Adler's cheeks. The speed was so fast that it was impossible to count how many punches it threw!

Until finally, Adler's expanded body shrank at an extremely fast speed, and the demon spirit threw a final punch, knocking him flying and hitting the wall at the edge of the clock tower.

Ryan walked over and fired several more shots at Adler, who seemed to be dead, then picked him up and threw him down from the clock tower.

"Goodbye, my dark past."

Chapter 49 Magna: Ryan, nice to meet you Ryan: ? [5k5! ]

boom!

Adler's body fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.

Falling from such a high place, not to mention that he was already dead, even if he was not dead, he would be completely dead now.

Ryan stood by the clock tower, raised his head 45 degrees, closed his eyes and spread his hands, enjoying the peace of the moment.

Finally, cleared!

Knowing that the biggest threat to his identity was dead, the next step was to find a way to deal with Kesha. Anyway, Kesha was just an ordinary singer inside the Dark Hand, and probably no one would pay attention to her.

Actually, Ryan doesn't care whether he is white or black. The key is that he doesn't want to take sides.

If a different account were to join Grand Duke Maganna, then he would simply shout, "Grand Duke, I love you forever!"

If you lose your secondary account, you can start a new one, and you may even have the chance to inherit your original profession upon death, but if your main account dies, it's all over.

So, Adler must die!

At the top of the clock tower, Lin Qi controlled the demon spirit and stood behind him.

This brief moment seemed particularly beautiful and sacred until there was movement under the bell tower. Casradi, who had been attracted by the previous battle, had already discovered Adler who had been smashed into a pulp.

"died?"

Casradi carefully checked and confirmed that Adler was really dead.

She raised her head and met Ryan's gaze as he lowered it.

"Ryan? Why is he there?"

Ryan's hiding in the clock tower was certainly not instructed by Casradi. Theoretically, he was a member of the Fire Covenant, and only Jonathan was qualified to give orders.

So in the whole plan, Casradi did not expect Ryan to do anything. The latter's role was to mislead Adler and help lure him out.

After leaving the church and arriving at the cafe, Ryan left with some sheriffs.

"Was it Jonathan's order? Or..."

If Adler died, then half of the meaning of this operation would be lost. She subconsciously thought of the four words "murder to silence the witness", but she felt it was impossible. After all, Ryan was a member of the Fire Covenant. Then another head popped up, and after seeing "Lin Qi" appear, Casradi completely gave up the idea.

After all, Lin Qi was there, so it was impossible for the two of them to work together to kill and silence the witness, right?

If there were problems with the Fire Covenant and the Janus Gate, Adler would have ruled the city of Berman long ago.

"be honest!"

Jonathan's voice rang out.

Behind him, the third-level investigator, covered in wounds, was dragging Kasa towards him.

Seeing Kasradi, he grinned and said, "Your Highness, we caught this guy."

"You've worked hard." Casradi sighed. "It's a pity that Adler died."

"Huh? Dead? How could he...fall to death?"

After a while, Ryan and Lin Qi came down.

"Ryan, why are you here too?" Jonathan was taken aback. He thought Ryan was staying in the cafe to deal with those cultists.

"I came here with Miss Lin Qi," Ryan said. "Originally, we just wanted to wait and see if we could help, but Adler suddenly showed up, so I joined Miss Lin Qi in beating him up... oh no, fighting him together."

Jonathan glanced at the silent Casradi, thinking that something was wrong, and hurriedly squatted down to carefully check Adler's condition. The latter had several bullet holes on his body, but with the strength of a third-level transcendent, this level of wounds was definitely not enough to kill him.

Not to mention that Adler is also a Soul Eater, with thick muscles and strong resistance to attacks. He did not die even after being hit head-on by Kasradi's sword.

So, the whole process should be that Adler was seriously injured by Princess Casradi and fled, but he met Miss Lin Qi and Ryan halfway. With Ryan's help, Miss Lin Qi successfully killed Adler... Jonathan pondered secretly in his heart.

He stood up and said, "Your Highness, he must have been severely beaten before he fell."

The implication is that he was not killed by Ryan's revolver.

"Ms. Lin Qi, did you do this?" He looked at Lin Qi again.

Lin Qi nodded: "Yes, I killed Adler. I was the one who beat him down. Is there any problem?"

Ryan said, "I fired a few more shots, too."

Jonathan's face was full of black lines. If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb. Do you think killing Adler is still a credit?

"Your Highness, then this..."

"Alright." Casradi waved his hand. "Since he's dead, there's nothing we can do."

How could she not see that Jonathan was trying to exonerate Ryan? But Adler was dead, so there was no point in assigning blame. Besides, in that situation, Lin Qi and Ryan had no choice. If they didn't take drastic measures, they might be the ones to die.

However, even though I know it, I can't help but feel a little regretful.

This is the best opportunity.

"Jonathan, I'm going back first. Take him away and lock him up, then interrogate him thoroughly later." Kasiladi said, "Lin Qi, Ryan, see you later."

After saying this, Casradi left first.

She had other things to attend to.

"It's time for me to go."

Lin Qi turned and left.

Soon only Ryan, Jonathan, and Kasa who was knocked unconscious were left.

Seeing that there was no one around, Jonathan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, fortunately, His Highness didn't make trouble."

"What's the trouble, Your Highness?"

"You're usually pretty smart, aren't you? Can't you see that Her Royal Highness the Princess wasn't in a good mood just now? This is a plan to capture, not kill, otherwise why would she go to so much trouble?"

"You mean, His Highness will blame us for Adler's death? That's impossible." Ryan spread his hands. "Miss Lin Qi and I were only trying to protect ourselves. Besides, if we didn't stop him, he would probably have gotten away."

"That's the truth, but sometimes truth doesn't make sense, understand?"

Ryan said: "My heart and my actions are all justice."

Jonathan: “…”

Rolling his eyes, he said unhappily, "Just go for justice. Adler was killed by Miss Lin Qi anyway. She's a friend of His Highness and a member of the Janus Gate. His Highness won't do anything to her. As for you... that's hard to say."

Ryan thought to himself, "What's wrong with me? I once rode on His Highness too."

But Ryan was still very grateful to Jonathan for saying these things for him. This old guy was really a nice person. It was strange, how come he had no impression of such a good character in the game?

Wait...it seems like I have some impression of it.

Ryan frowned and thought, feeling like he was about to remember something, but his memory was a little vague.

"What are you thinking about?" Jonathan patted Ryan's back vigorously. "Don't just stand there. Take him with you and clean up the mess first."

"okay."

It’s strange, there seemed to be a story about Jonathan in the game, but I can’t remember it. Was it because it was too short and I didn’t notice it?

The feeling of not being able to hold it back was so uncomfortable that Ryan could only put it aside for the time being and recall it when he had time.

......

That afternoon, the Administrative Bureau announced the death of Secretary-General Adler.

As soon as the news came out, the entire empire... oh no, the city of Berman was in turmoil again.

This time is different from the previous times. You have to know that Adler is the head of Grand Duke Maganna's faction in Berman City. Once he died, the leader was gone and everything was in chaos in an instant.

It has to be said that Casradi was very smart. She saw this and began to arrange people to secretly monitor changes in the situation, hoping to analyze Adler's faction from some clues.

Ryan didn't care about this. Even if Kasradi knew it was Maganna, so what? As long as she didn't know about him, it would be fine.

Wash it clean, it’s all clean!

Farewell, Grand Duchess Magna.

However, this incident was far more catastrophic than the previous ones. The frenzied Dark Hand cultists engaged in a gun-toting brawl, leaving the entire city in chaos. Midtown was also home to the wealthy and affluent, so a large number of people came to the police station seeking an explanation, demanding that Ryan focus on improving public security and deploying additional personnel to address the city's safety issues.

To put it bluntly, it's a lack of security.

Ryan didn't bother to pay attention to them. Although he was not a noble, he still had some background, so these small nobles had no way to deal with him.

However, Adler's death was too strange. He had just attended mass with the princess and the mayor, and then turned into a corpse. This inevitably aroused suspicion.

However, it was not appropriate for Casradi to be involved in this matter. She could not tell others that it was Her Royal Highness the Princess who wanted to deal with Adler, so the issue of Adler's evidence was involved.

Fortunately, this aspect is not that tricky. His relationship with the Dark Hand is set in stone. The fact that he secretly cooperates with the pagans is enough to kill him a hundred times, not to mention the many "good things" he has done as the Secretary-General over the years.

However, direct evidence was not easy to find. Ryan had a flash of inspiration and launched a reporting campaign against Adler's crimes within the municipal office.

Then, the reporting box was directly filled up.

He originally thought that the dirty things Adler had done over the years must have been done in cooperation with other people. There are so many nobles in Berman City, at least 30% of them. These people are now in danger and can't wait to distance themselves from Adler.

So when the reporting campaign started, all the dirty water was immediately thrown on Adler.

Moreover, these charges were all determined by bigwigs in the municipal government. No matter whether they are true or not, the director and the minister have come to report them. Do you think there is a problem?

Ryan collected all these evidences as evidence for the trial of Adler. After all, the latter was the secretary general and a nobleman. His death required a ruling by the Imperial Tribunal and a formal conviction.

The Administrative Bureau is only responsible for arresting and prosecuting people, and convictions are not Ryan's responsibility.

However, this alone is not enough. In fact, there is no substantial evidence for the accusations of these nobles, because the evidence would implicate themselves.

"Search his house!" When Ryan asked Jonathan about what to do next with Adler, Jonathan said without hesitation, "That guy must have direct evidence at home. Take your men to search his house and see if there's anything that can prove his identity. Give it to Her Royal Highness as soon as possible so she can find out the truth and leave Berman City as soon as possible."

Ryan suddenly understood.

"As expected of Captain Jonathan, one word from you is better than a word from you."

Why didn't he think of confiscating the house?

As a third-level transcendent, he must have a lot of good things hidden at home.

"What a mess! I'm warning you, don't do anything rash. The higher-ups are keeping an eye on this matter. You can hide some of it, but don't swallow it all."

"Captain, what are you talking about? I don't understand. How could I possibly be hiding something? I'm a recognized good citizen of the Empire."

Jonathan didn't say anything, but he was definitely rolling his eyes.

After hanging up the phone, Ryan immediately gathered people and rushed to Adler's house.

After Adler's death, Ryan had his family members arrested that same day, and they are now locked up in the villa. When Ryan brought his men over, the sheriff guarding the door immediately came over to greet them.

"team leader."

"Well, how's it going?"

"They are all in there, Adler's wife, his lover, his little lover, and a child."

"He's so brazen about keeping a mistress, and he's the Secretary General. This is a disgrace to the imperial nobility."

The people around him didn't say anything, but they were all thinking in their hearts, isn't this the daily life of the imperial nobles?

Adler's family is still relatively restrained. Some families have more than a dozen wives, some have men, some have slaves, and they have all kinds of wives.

They have been sheriffs for so many years, and sometimes when they encounter murders, those people are killed by the noble grandfathers.

For cases like this, basically, just screw them. After all, there's nothing to investigate, and it's useless to investigate. No one cares, and they'll get into trouble again later.

"You guys stay outside first, I'll go in and take a look." Ryan said to the others, "What if there's important evidence and you guys are so clumsy and get rid of it? It's going to be a disaster."
