Chapter 71 Chain Reaction

At this moment, Wendell only felt that his calf was shaking slightly, as if he could no longer support the weight of his body.

After leaving Utopia, he had expected the worst outcome, which was to die suddenly one day for no reason.

However, he never expected that he would meet people from Utopia in the real metropolis of Backlund.

And more importantly, the visitor also invited him to go to Utopia again.

For Wendell, this was an extremely terrifying nightmare, and he was considered to be of good psychological quality without collapsing on the spot.

Maintaining basic composure, Wendell squeezed out an embarrassed expression and said:

"I've been having a lot of things lately..."

The policeman named Byers said immediately:

"The trial is two weeks away, and this is the relevant paperwork."

As he spoke, he handed the document in his hand to Wendell.

Frankly speaking, Wendell didn't want to pick it up at all, but he had to pick it up.

Byers then took a step back:

"It's a woman's future at stake, and I sincerely hope you can testify."

"It depends..." Wendell neither wanted to agree, nor dared to refuse.

Byers didn't say much, just bowed and said:

"I will wait for you in Utopia, I hope to have a chance to see you again."

After speaking, he turned around, left the house, and entered the street.

During the whole process, Wendell seemed to be frozen and turned into a statue, standing there without blinking.

After another ten seconds, he seemed to finally wake up from the nightmare, his body was a little weak and he fell to the side, propping his right hand against the door.

Just now, he was so afraid, afraid that Byers would forcibly bring himself back to a utopia that did not exist at all.

As a result, Wendell didn't know if he still had a chance to leave, maybe just disappeared forever.

than sudden death,

This unpredictable but obviously bad ending frightened him even more.

"Hurry up, hurry up and report this matter! Catch the policeman from Utopia, find out the real situation of this weird town, and find a suitable solution to solve the problem completely!" Be prepared to notify MI9 personnel who are spying on you.

At this time, he finally realized that there was a big problem with his response just now, and he didn't seize the opportunity to inform his colleagues in the dark that there was a problem with the visiting police officer, and he didn't try to delay the time until the monitors found out that something was wrong. , and did not use his expertise as an intelligence officer to ask without a trace which hotel Byers stayed in Backlund, and which day and which train he booked.

He was so frightened that he could only subconsciously resort to the least unexpected response.

Thinking of this, Wendell walked out of the door and glanced in the direction where Byers left, but he didn't even see the other party's back.

The policeman from Utopia has blended into the passing carriages and pedestrians.

Withdrawing his gaze, Wendell looked down at the document in his hand, suddenly feeling a little uneasy:

"After two weeks, what will happen if I don't testify in Utopia?"

The more Wendell thought about it, the more scared he became, and his calf became weak again. He hurriedly made gestures and informed his colleagues who were hiding around him about his abnormality.

…………

West End, 9 Bellotto Street.

After learning that Utopia residents came to Backlund, Xio was shocked and confused.

According to her previous observations, Utopia should be hidden in a secret place, or between the real and the illusory, through random entrances, allowing outsiders to enter and exit.

As for why outsiders are allowed in and out, it should be a requirement of the ceremony.

Therefore, in Hugh's cognition, the residents of Utopia should not leave their hometown and run around.

Is this also a requirement of the ceremony? What are the true identities of these residents, followers of Mister Fool, and companions of Gehrman Sparrow the World? After asking about the general appearance of the visitor from Utopia, Xio had to return to the MI9 headquarters first because of the lack of further information, hesitating whether to send his subordinates to conduct a large-scale search.

She wasn't sure if Mr. World would like to see such an act, and she was worried that it would affect the ceremony.

After walking a few steps back and forth in the office, Xio was about to pray to Mr. Fool and ask him to pass his questions to Gehrman Sparrow the World.

When walking to the chair, Xio's eyes swept over the report on the table.

That was the investigation report made by her two subordinates. On the one hand, it confirmed that there were no problems with the passengers who successfully arrived in Backlund, and on the other hand, it pointed out that a passenger was stranded in Utopia.

Passenger... Xio's eyes narrowed slightly, and based on his own intuition, he had a guess:

That Utopia resident came to Backlund for his own purpose, not to run around, and his purpose was probably related to a passenger who had left Utopia before.

This... Xio was startled, and hurriedly sat down and tried to pray.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of her office.

"...Please come in." Xio said after hesitation.

As the door opened, Hugh saw Locke with a goatee and Wendell, a witness to the Utopia event.

"Colonel, Wendell met someone from Utopia, and he came to visit directly!" Locke said in confusion.

This development was also unexpected to him.

Sure enough... Xio was not only not surprised, but secretly relieved.

She looked at Wendell and said:

"Why did he visit you?"

"He, asked me to go to Utopia to testify in court for the Trish murder case mentioned in my report." Wendell was obviously calmer than before.

He then added:

"He's a policeman. His name is Byers. I didn't dare to ask him where he lived, when he was going to leave, and which steam train he planned to take."

In order to show his importance, Xio stood up and thought about it:

"Locke, immediately gather the members of your team, look for the taxi driver who often waits for guests around Wendell's residence, and the public carriage driver who passes by the nearby area, ask them if they have seen Byers, and if they have, take the other party there. Where, also, send someone to the steam train station, wait at the entrance, and observe the passing passengers..."

After instructing his subordinates, Xio turned to look at Wendell:

"You cooperate with them and draw Biles' appearance."

"Yes, Colonel." Locke and Wendell replied at the same time.

After they went out and closed the door, Xio sat down again and began to pray.

Soon, she got a response from Mr. Fool and saw Gehrman Sparrow the World praying in the gray fog.

Gehrman Sparrow told her:

"Investigations can be conducted as normal.

"The speculation of ritual can be raised if necessary, but it must be included in several options."

Xio was relieved for a moment, and patiently waited for his subordinates to report the investigation.

When night came, Locke returned to Bellotto Street and reported to Xiuhui:

"We found the cab driver who carried the Utopian!"

"Huh?" Xio showed his concern.

Locke briefly stated:

"The utopian named Byers originally asked the coachman to go to the dock area, but as soon as the carriage entered the corresponding area, he asked to get off, saying that it had already arrived.

"The street was quite unfamiliar to the driver, making him feel lost.

"When he left that street, he found his surroundings familiar again.

"Our people accompany him to go there again, but he can't find the street anymore."

Xio nodded slightly and said solemnly:

"It is preliminarily consistent with the description of entering and leaving Utopia in the previous case."

"Colonel, you mean, you can enter or leave Utopia on any street in any city?" Locke was still a little disbelieving.

Xio pondered and said:

"It seems like this at the moment, but I always feel that there is a problem, um... How does Utopia connect with different places, and what does it rely on to locate..."

After the voice got lower, Hugh said to Locke:

"Go and tell Wendell that he will spend the next two weeks here until the paperwork expires."

"Okay, Colonel." Locke turned around immediately and left Hugh's office.

Wendell has no opinion on Colonel Dielcha's arrangement. It can even be said that he can only find a sense of security at the MI9 headquarters.

His temporary residence is a slightly modified vigil, with windows overlooking lawns, gardens and trees.

At a glance, Wendell saw a pitch-black crow standing on a branch, looking here quietly.

…………

Bansy at night is very gloomy, and every now and then there are echoes of crows or other seabirds.

Verdur stood at the window, looking at the approaching dilapidated pier and the dead city that had become ruins, the pressure in his heart was increasing.

After several days at sea, the ship he was on was about to arrive at the port of Bansi.

The captain had told Verdu during the day that they would only wait for two hours. After this time, Verdu could only wait on this deserted island for the next boat that would arrive.

Taking a breath, Verdu retracted his gaze and took off his coat.

Then, he opened the suitcase, took out a classic black robe, and put it on his body.

The surface of this robe is embroidered with gold and silver threads and inlaid with various gems the size of grains of rice. It is a seal belonging to the Abraham family.

After getting ready, Verdu left the pirate ship and entered the port of Bansi.

On the way, the classical robe tightened from time to time, causing his face to turn purple and nearly fainting.

Walking and walking, Verdu found the original Bansi Telegraph Office based on the map he bought. He saw two bright blood-red traces in the middle of the collapsed building, as if two people were crushed into meat sauce. left behind.

Next to these two shadows, on a broken wall, there is an octopus-headed monster wearing armor, walking on waves, and holding a trident.

Verdu raised the lantern in his hand and was about to observe it carefully when suddenly he felt a drop of cold liquid falling on his neck.

He was shocked, and subconsciously reached out and touched it, only to feel that it was sticky, not like rain, and had no color, not blood.

It's a bit like, like saliva... Verdu's forehead twitched slightly, raised his head slowly, and looked at the possible place where the drop of liquid fell.

It was a dark, moonless and starless night sky.
