"I planned to start a new life, so I used the money to rent a basement. It was damp and wet, but cheap enough. Then I looked for some work. I didn't expect that other nobles knew me and wanted to recruit me. Unfortunately, I had already sworn an oath that the nobles would never let me work for them in this life.

"This time, no one bothered me because of the accident. I had nothing anyway, so I wasn't afraid of further losses. After a period of peace and quiet, I found an opportunity to buy a second-hand taxi that I was in a hurry to sell. This is it. I usually pick up passengers. When I have time, I go to Wumu Town to do some small business and visit old friends."

Miss White Wolf asked, "So, this is Alyosha's life?"

Alyosha was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, tears streaming down his face: "Yes, this is Alyosha's life."

Chapter 2023 Trial 08-04-12 00:02:

Alyosha took out a cigarette, lit it with red-hot charcoal, and took a long puff.

She looked at the burning flames and asked, "What should I do next?"

"Do what needs to be done," whispered Miss White Wolf, as she fanned the flames with a stick to keep it from burning too strongly, and added a little more firewood from time to time.

"So, are you still going to investigate the case?"

"Of course, the clues will be cut off soon. Tomorrow is the last chance."

"The mountains are very dangerous and full of wild animals. Do you really think the murderer is still there?"

"The military and police are definitely more dangerous than wild animals. Ursus is huge, but they can't go anywhere except the barren mountains, and they dare not go anywhere."

"If you do find them, what are you going to do?"

"They will receive the justice they deserve."

"you?"

"I."

"But you..."

"You'll understand."

In the twisting and jumping campfire, Alyosha saw the flames turned into playful little animals, playfully swimming around Farina's fingertips. She threw away the stick in her hand and pointed lightly, and the little animal instantly turned into a poisonous snake, which coiled around and swallowed her.

She had seen people who practiced Originium magic, but she had never seen anyone who could play with magic like this.

"What about the Military Police?"

"They will also pay the price for what they have done."

“But they are all big shots.”

Miss White Wolf gently stroked her ritual sword: "We can use the rules to solve the problem. There are bigger people above the big people."

"Miss Farina." Alyosha's eyes were a little confused. "You are full of secrets. When I heard what you were going to do, I almost suspected that you were sent by the late emperor."

What natural words! The Ursus people will never forget the late emperor, White Wolf thought secretly. However, she had nothing to do with the late emperor.

Her hands suddenly froze.

She suddenly remembered that the sword in her hand was made by top craftsmen summoned by the late emperor during the most glorious period of the Ursus Empire and was personally handed over to the grand dukes.

After going around in circles, the sword followed her.

coincidence.

She felt a little confused.

What a strange coincidence!

……

The next morning.

Bai Lang found the contact information left for her by the commander of the military police department and took the initiative to contact the other party. Like a true aristocrat who loved to have fun, she asked the commander to stop the investigation and not to send anyone to Ebony Town. She wanted to do this personally today.

Of course the commander agreed readily. He guessed that the noble had brought his subordinates with him and wanted to personally experience the fun of executing an execution in Ebony Town. Just in case, he earnestly stated that he would wait nearby with his team and be ready to take orders from the noble at any time.

However, the nobleman in his mind played a trick on him. When the sun just jumped out of the horizon, White Wolf and Alyosha had already left Ebony Town and arrived at the murder scene. The two followed the slightly blurred footprints.

To Bailang's surprise, the actual tracking difficulty was even lower than expected. The fugitives were obviously carrying the deceased's belongings, so some dropped personal items could be found from time to time.

During the tracking mission, these inconspicuous personal belongings are as eye-catching as fireflies in the dark.

White Wolf threw a metal watch to Alyosha and squinted his eyes to look ahead: "The murderer is completely inexperienced. As long as the military and police are willing to pursue it, they can easily find clues."

"It's a pity they won't." Alyosha shook his head. "They are used to the same practice. If something happens in the city in the morning, they can find a suspect in Ebony Town and hang him in the afternoon."

At noon, the white wolves found traces of hunting in the woods. Soon after, they found a broken kettle that looked very new in a mountain stream. Continuing forward, they saw more traces of human beings in the forest.

All signs indicate that the murderer gang had lived in the mountains long before the incident, and hiding in the mountains was a common strategy used by the integration movement after it moved south.

The white wolf observed the surrounding environment closely, her ears trembling slightly. She suddenly said to Alyosha: "When you went to look for acquaintances yesterday, there was one person missing. He disappeared half a month ago."

Alyosha's heart skipped a beat: "Yes."

"Have you ever doubted him for joining this...gang?"

Alyosha sighed:

"His sister was infected with oripathy and burned to death by the military and police. She was still shouting his name at the scene of the fire. He is her only relative. She has been holding her breath and trying her best to get revenge. According to his personality, he is likely to really join."

"Alyosha." The White Wolf patted the Ursus man on the shoulder and sighed, "We can understand this hatred, but sometimes we have to make a choice. Killing and raping, even if he was once your friend, he has now committed an unforgivable crime. Their anger is misplaced, and they have allowed themselves to become scum. Now they are here, Alyosha."

As soon as Bai Lang finished speaking, four bandits appeared in the sight of the two men. They approached vigilantly and surrounded Bai Lang and Alyosha in an outflanking manner.

"Who are you?" The bandit in front fiddled with the dagger in his hand and looked at White Wolf with strange eyes.

Alyosha received the signal from the White Wolf's eyes, clenched his fists, and did not move for the time being.

Bai Lang looked around at the people who had gathered around her, seeing those pairs of eyes with impure motives, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​negotiation. The eyes of these people told her that they had crossed the bottom line, and what they had lost could never be found again, so it was not worth her to continue to think about it.

She leisurely removed the black cloth from her sword layer by layer and said calmly, "I am Viscount of the Empire, Olicia Lovehild. Take me to see your leader."

Alyosha's head was buzzing and he couldn't quite understand what Farina was saying.

Several bandits looked at each other and whispered a few words. It was obvious from their faces that they did not believe the identity reported by Bai Lang. One of the bandits said boldly: "No matter who you are, hand over your weapons first."

Alyosha was still confused, but when he heard the bandits' shouts, he was so angry that he forgot about the nobles and shouted angrily on the spot: "You cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong, is that all you have? You dared to kill unarmed people at will, and now you are so scared when you see a sword?"

Miss White Wolf smiled and nodded, tapped the sword on the ground, and held the hilt with both hands, with no intention of handing it over.

"Take me to your leader," she repeated calmly.

The illusion of heat arose in Alyosha's mind, and when she tried to find the cause, the illusion disappeared out of thin air.

The gangsters winked at each other: "You, follow me."

Led by the bandits, they came to the entrance of a dark cave. One of them went into the cave to report. White Wolf and Alyosha stood outside and felt that a pair of eyes were looking at them from inside the cave.

After a while, the informant ran out with a serious face: "The leader asked the criminal named Olicia to go in for interrogation."

Chapter 2023 Confrontation 08-05-12 00:05:

When Miss White Wolf heard that she was going to be judged, she couldn't help but smile.

She turned her head and whispered to Alyosha, "Wait for me outside for a while."

"No." Alyosha shook his head decisively and whispered, "Did you see the eyes of those bastards? I know what they want to do. Let me go with them. I have been fighting all my life, and I can easily deal with these robbers and hooligans."

“Don’t worry, Alyosha. My Originium skills can handle them without any problems.” White Wolf patted Alyosha on the shoulder. “If you are really worried, just wait at the entrance of the cave. If I call for help, you rush in.”

"What if they use some means to make you unable to shout?"

"How about this, if you don't hear anything in ten minutes, rush in and rescue me."

"Okay, okay." Alyosha nodded hesitantly, "Farina, do you really have to negotiate with this kind of person?"

"I must investigate this matter thoroughly. Before that, taking action on my own will not only be reckless, but will also greatly reduce the significance of our pursuit."

After saying that, Miss White Wolf, holding her sword, calmly walked into the dark and eerie cave under the watchful eye of the guide.

Judging from the shape of the cave, it is a natural rock cave. It becomes darker and narrower as you go deeper. White Wolf guessed that this might have once been the lair of a wild wolf or a grizzly bear.

After walking dozens of steps in the cave, a stone passage that was only wide enough for one person to pass appeared in front of her. Miss White Wolf turned sideways and walked in slowly. Then, the view in front of her suddenly became clear, and a spacious oval stone chamber appeared in front of her.

The stone chamber was not closed. There was a crack as thick as an arm right in the center. A distorted ray of sunlight shone in at an angle, illuminating the originally dark interior space.

Before White Wolf came in, everyone in the stone room was talking a lot. After seeing Miss White Wolf, everyone shut up and communicated with each other through eye contact.

"Are you the noble who calls yourself Olicia?" The leader, who was guarded by everyone, sat on the stone platform and asked condescendingly.

Miss White Wolf stood in front of the crack in the sunlight, squinted her eyes, and observed the "bandit leader" in front of her through the light. The other party was a middle-aged Ursus man, of average build, with a sanctimonious face, and vigilance and greed flashing in his eyes alternately.

She saw the darkness behind the other person flicker, as if a figure was floating, but soon returned to silence. She didn't know if it was an illusion caused by the light.

"That's right." She nodded.

The scene became chaotic again, with people talking about it.

"Impossible, she is definitely not a noble. Why would a noble come here alone?"

"Since you are a noble, you should be tried."

'Leave her here, she's our hostage'

"The nobles should have been killed directly. We can finally get our revenge."

"Killing her right away would be too easy. We should let her atone for her sins slowly."

……

The Ursus leader intended to let this chaos continue, but he soon discovered that after hearing these words, Olicia did not show any sign of panic on her face.

Seeing that he couldn't achieve the desired effect, he shouted in a deep voice: "Silence!"

The scene immediately became silent.

"Noble." The leader stared at the white wolf. "You should be tried, but before the trial begins, you must first confess your conspiracy. What is your purpose in coming here?"

"Two days ago, a brutal murder occurred near Ebony Town. I followed the murderer's footsteps and came here."

"That was not a murder case," the leader said righteously, "that was a holy war among our brothers. We eliminated the lackeys of the military and police teams. They came to the mountain collectively to murder us."

There were voices echoing from all around:

'That's right'

'The leader is right'

'We were forced to do that'

Miss White Wolf nodded: "In other words, you admit that you did it? Is there anyone who didn't participate?"

The leader raised his head arrogantly: "Noble, do you think you can find a flaw among my brothers? Give up, everyone has participated in the holy war."

"Very good." Miss White Wolf said calmly, "But I have another piece of evidence here. As far as I know, you first planned to rob, then tried to rape, and after encountering resistance, you chose to kill everyone. Is this how you fight your holy war?"

The whole place was dead silent, and then like a stone dropped into a deep pool, it stirred up waves of chaos.

'lie'

'lie'

'Nothing'

'This is a smear campaign against us'

'Kill her'

"I happen to have a recording of the victim as evidence. Does anyone need to listen to it?" Bai Lang took out a recorder and stood there looking around at everyone.

The scene became quiet again. People stared at the recorders with different expressions, and some of them had flushed faces.

The leader looked at his subordinates, sighed, and said solemnly: "Noble, your evidence does not mean anything. You said we robbed, but the military and police took our property before we did anything. It is not wrong for us to take it back."

"You even accused us of planning to do something shameful, but you saw the outcome. We didn't do it. The soldiers just talked about it."

"What's more, even if we did it, what difference does it make? We suffered so much, and all this suffering was imposed by the enemy. No matter how excessive our actions were, they were not half as much as what they did. No matter how much blood was shed on our hands, it was not even one-tenth of what you and your fellow nobles have shed."

"Noble, how dare you use this to argue with us?"

The leader's voice became louder and louder, and his tone became more and more passionate. Everyone couldn't help but cheer in unison. Amid the cheers, the leader stood up, and his figure rose infinitely in the darkness:

"Noble, blood debts must be repaid with blood. Our holy organization has far exceeded your imagination. In the slums of Chernobog, in the lawless areas in the southern part of the empire, and in the frozen plains of the far north, our strength is gathering. One day, we will unite all our suffering compatriots and open up a new world."

"You left your name on the stone. What is your relationship with the long-destroyed Integration Movement?" White Wolf asked thoughtfully.

"Poor nobles, you have already lost your future, and you no longer have tomorrow. Now that things have come to this, it doesn't hurt to tell you that the Reunion Movement has not actually collapsed. I am the convener sent by the organization. Now, I have completed the mission of gathering new compatriots, and will soon lead everyone back to the torrent of reunion."

When the leader was speaking, the other members in the cave all showed excitement and anticipation. Miss White Wolf now understood that the leader in front of her should be a member of the Integration Movement, and the others were most likely from the slums.
