Chapter 16 Crimes

"Haha, how can you tell at a glance whether it's a foreigner? How can you tell?" Roy calmed himself, pretending that he was discussing the content on the yellow paper with his companions.

He comforted Phil and Pasha with the hidden meaning in his words, so that they don't have to be nervous and panic. After all, except for the local Byers, the remaining three are also Loen nationals, and they don't include the blood of the Southern Continent. Just look at the facial features The outline is nothing special.

"Yes, but, this is an extraordinary **..." Pasha responded with a little stammer.

This cannot be judged by common sense!

Roy condensed in his heart, looked at the citizens who were slowly approaching without any expressions, and shouted in a low voice:

"run!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his body and ran towards the nearest street entrance, followed by Pasha and Phil.

As a local, Byers tacitly dragged at the end, covering the surface of his skin with an illusory layer of fish scales.

boom! boom! boom!

Several citizens raised their double-barreled shotguns and shot forward.

Roy, Phil, and Pasha are all Beyonders who are relatively good at fighting. They sometimes change direction while running, sometimes they fit in, roll forward, and successfully avoid this round of attacks.

Then, under the guidance of Pasha, they crossed the streets and alleys, got rid of the pursuit, and hid in the shadow of no one.

"What should I do?" Phil, who had a broken hand, gasped and asked, "Judging from the content of the announcement, we probably won't be able to leave the city directly."

"We need to figure out the rules and find a way from the rules." Although Roy was also flustered, he forced himself to think calmly, lest the entire team's emotions collapse.

Pasha glanced at Byers who was on guard and said:

"Is that notice board there before?"

Byers nodded:

"Yes, although I rarely have the opportunity to go to the Municipal Square, when I was drafted into the army, I gathered there and saw the notice board."

"There should be no problem with the notice board. Perhaps, those two pieces of paper are the key. They can make the written decree have occult significance." Pasha expressed her guess.

Roy immediately agreed:

"right.

"Also, I suspect that those laws must be announced to be effective. If we can find an opportunity to tear off those two pieces of paper, the corresponding restrictions may disappear."

After listening to Roy's words, Pasha, Phil and Byers fell silent at the same time.

After a few seconds, Phil's face muscles twitched and said:

"Try it! If you have been trapped in the city, even if you are not caught by those citizens, you may be punished by law for various reasons."

Although they are all Beyonders, their sequence is not high, and it is not a problem to deal with a few ordinary people. Facing the hostility of the whole city will be extremely dangerous.

Roy, Byers, and Pasha are all people who have been on the battlefield more or less. Knowing that hesitating at this time is the most undesirable behavior, they made decisions one after another and agreed to Phil's proposal.

Guided by the fairly experienced Hunter Pasha, the group of four circled around halfway and sneaked back to the Municipal Plaza from another street.

At this time, the citizens who were watching the announcement were no longer here, and it seemed that the city was searching for outsiders.

Looking at the notice board standing quietly in the center of the two gas street lamps, Roy and others approached cautiously, ready to escape at any time.

After approaching the target, Roy suddenly thought of a question, and hurriedly lowered his voice and asked:

"Is it an illegal act to sabotage the announcement?"

"Theoretically..." Pasha froze for a moment.

They immediately turned their attention to the notice board,

Browse the crimes listed in the third decree:

"...

"8. Vandalism;

"..."

"Really." Byers blurted out.

Phil's already pale face due to blood loss paled a little, and he thought about it and said:

"What is the punishment for vandalism?"

This is only a less serious offense, and the corresponding punishment is likely to be relatively light.

If that's the case, Phil intends to take the risk of tearing down the announcement and putting an end to this horrific and spooky thing.

"The first offense is whipping." Just as Roy, Pasha and Byers were thinking about the answer, a voice came from behind them.

The four of them turned around in amazement and saw an ordinary-looking young man wearing a black robe and a top hat.

The man continued:

"A repeat offense is a broken hand.

"I don't know what recidivism is."

"Why do you know?" Roy asked with a frown while holding the hidden dagger vigilantly.

The young man smiled and said:

"I tried it and that didn't work, the announcement will be back soon."

"So, you were whipped?" Pasha asked suddenly.

"Yeah." The young man nodded with a relaxed expression, "However, because I also committed fraud, I was punished by amputation."

"Scam?" Byers asked incomprehensibly.

The young man smiled and replied:

"Simply put, I didn't destroy the announcement myself, but got a dummy over there, and it was the dummy who was whipped."

While speaking, he raised his right arm.

Like Phil, his wrist was cut very neatly, and the wound was pale and red, and it seemed to be bleeding.

Suddenly, the fracture squirmed and crawled out one after another of twisted and transparent worms. They were entangled with each other and overlapped layer by layer to form a new palm.

During this process, Roy and others didn't feel any horror, because as soon as they saw the little bugs who couldn't distinguish the details, their thinking was confused, their thoughts flashed, and it was difficult to control their emotional fluctuations.

When the palm "covered" the skin and became normal, these Beyonders recovered, and took a few steps back in shock, suspicion and fear at the same time.

The scene just now was beyond their cognition!

"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm a wandering magician." It was Klein who committed the crime of fraud and vandalism just now.

He glanced at the four Beyonders and said with a smile:

"My best magic is fulfilling other people's wishes. Do you have any wishes you want to fulfill?"

Hearing this question, Roy was refreshed and asked with great hope:

"Can we leave Berdan?"

"Of course, I will try my best to do this, but not now." Klein promised.

Then, he looked at Phil who had a broken hand:

"His wish is over, what's yours?"

"...let my hand recover." Phil said tentatively.

"Okay." Klein turned his attention to Byers, "Take out his hand."

Byers hesitated and followed the mysterious man's instructions, took out the wooden box, and returned the palm inside to Phil.

"Come here." Klein immediately said to Phil with a smile.

Phil gathered his courage, took the severed hand, and walked over.

"Take off the bandage." Klein continued, "Put the severed hand in its original position, and remind you, don't do it the other way around, or you will have to cut it off and start over."

Seeing that the other party was so certain, Phil gained some confidence, hurriedly tore off the bandage that had been adhered to the wound with an extremely twisted expression, and kept hissing.

After he put the broken hand away, Klein took out a blank piece of paper and moved closer.

Immediately afterwards, he reached out and wiped the cut.

Silently, the white paper split in half, and Phil felt the pain disappear.

He hurriedly looked down and saw that his left wrist fracture was intact as before, and he couldn't tell that he had been injured at all.

Phil moved his fingers subconsciously, and found that his flexibility did not diminish at all.

"Your wish has come true." Klein took two steps back and said with a smile.

"Thank you..." Phil responded in a daze.

Klein looked at the other two Beyonders:

"What's your wish?"

Seeing that Phil's wish was truly fulfilled, Byers immediately stepped forward and said:

"I want to know where my family is now."

Klein flicked his left arm, took out a silver mirror with simple patterns, lowered his head and said with a smile:

"What was the answer to that question just now?"

On the surface of the mirror, the water light floats, and the silver words stand out one after another:

"Berdango Rolling Cemetery..."

Biles, who stretched his neck, saw this, his heart sank, and a strong sadness and loss appeared on his face uncontrollably.

In the next second, new silver words jumped out of the water:

"...the cemetery hut."

...This means ... Byers turned from sadness to joy, and said sincerely:

"thanks."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of two questions:

How many people can the cemetery hut live in? How many tomb guards can there be?

His family is more than two or three!

Byers looked cloudy and sunny, and fell silent again.

This made him not see the problem on the silver mirror:

"Great master, am I kind enough to answer?"

"Yeah." Klein nodded invisibly, and turned his attention to the remaining lady.

Pasha considered for two seconds and said:

"My wish is, please protect us until we leave Berdan alive."

She found that Roy's wish just now was very problematic, because it was not necessarily a living person who left Beldan.

"Smart." Klein praised with a smile, "Your wish will be fulfilled."

"Then what price do we have to pay? I mean the reward for watching magic." Pasha asked again.

"Your wish itself is the price." Klein replied briefly, and then asked thoughtfully, "If some things you clearly know are fake, but you are willing to use them subjectively, then it shouldn't be a problem. Fraud, right?"

Roy and others looked puzzled, thought for a moment, and shook their heads one after another:

"Definitely not."

"It's really a game between the two sides."

"A voluntary act with a clear understanding is definitely not a scam."

"Definitely not."

After listening to the four people's respective answers, Klein smiled:

"Very well, this is the perception of normal people."

While speaking, he grabbed his right hand forward a few times, and dragged out a female figure in a simple robe with long black hair.

That is the historical pore image of Arianna, the abbot of the Evernight Abbey.

Klein glanced left and right, and seeing that nothing unusual happened, he smiled at the projection and said:

"Ma'am, what happened?"

Arianna's eyes turned slightly, and suddenly became secluded, making people feel peaceful from the bottom of their hearts.

He said calmly:

"Larion, the patriarch of the Church of God of War, fled, and I am following him."

Arianna paused and said:

"After I came to Berdan, I received a new piece of information.

"Intelligence shows that Larion took a Sealed Artifact with him when he fled.

"'0-02'."
