"In half an hour, gather at the property management department to receive auxiliary equipment for detecting parasites. In addition, this mission is important, and it is prohibited to go out or ask for leave during the mission."

Arianna dropped these words and turned around to leave the office. Her face was extremely ugly, and she was obviously angry with Marco and the others.

"Did we go too far with him, Marco?" Lydia covered her mouth and smiled, obviously not thinking there was anything wrong.

"The relationship between Part One and Part Two has always been like this,"

Marco curled his lips, looked at Reinhardt's body in Wei En's hand, and asked, "Did you find anything there?"

"Well, people from the Abyss Sect."

"The city-state magic circle was also made by their people?"

Wayne nodded, "He did it in place of that young scholar, and I also met two extraordinary people from the Abyss Sect, one of whom was named Poulsen."

"Poulsen? I seem to have heard somewhere... It seems like he is a favored one from the Abyss Religion?"

"He did admit it just now."

"That should be him, the Abyss Sect's Favored Person Pulson Heikeme." Marco and Lydia looked at each other.

Wayne asked curiously: "Is he famous?"

"No," Marco shook his head, "It's not that he is famous, but that the followers of the Abyss Religion are known to have brain problems."

"And some time ago, there was a disaster caused by the Abyss sect in the northern city-state of Idris. I heard that many people died."

"I'm afraid Custer City-State is in big trouble this time."

"Ah?" Lydia pouted and said, "I just joined the Secret Adjustment Department and encountered such a thing. If I had known, I would have returned to Kland..."

"It's too late for you to go back now."

"I don't want it. If I were really in danger, wouldn't I still have you?"

The corner of Marco's mouth twitched, you really think highly of me, thank you.

"Let's not talk about this for now, what should we do next? The captain is not here..." Wei En helplessly looked at the bored expressions of the two people.

"Since the Secretary has made arrangements, let's follow them. Facing lunatics like the Abyss Sect, the sooner we deal with them, the less trouble we will have."

"Okay, what about this corpse?"

Marco looked at Reinhardt on the ground, "Well, he died quite miserably...Wayne, has your strength improved again?"

"Just a little bit." Wei En smiled and made a dot gesture.

In fact, after this battle with Poulsen, he had a clearer understanding of his own strength.

It is enough to deal with the average captain level, and under certain circumstances, he can even fight against some minister level extraordinary beings.

The premise is that there is space and distance to use a sniper rifle...

"Just watch and deal with it. It will be reflected in the case file. Abyss converters like this have basically no recycling value."

"good."

Wei En snapped his fingers and cast the soul-devouring spell, causing the four heads to devour Reinhardt's body.

[You use the Devouring Soul Spell to devour Reinhard Tania's origin, and your origin will be improved. Special reward: Origin +0.02. 】

"Wow, it's gone? What a powerful spell." Lydia blinked and said with a 'surprised' look on her face.

Wayne: "..."

This was a bit too fake. Obviously, these two people had seen him devouring Ognyan before in the parliament hall.

"...Lydia, he already knows." Marco covered his forehead.

"Well, I told you earlier, I was still thinking of not exposing you and me doing it in the parliament hall... wu wu wu."

"There is no need to say unnecessary words!"

"..."

Before it was time to gather, Wei En briefly compiled the investigation files on those who had tampered with the city-state magic circle.

In addition to the battle with Poulsen and Reinhardt, he also wrote some speculations about the location of the Bone Crush Mother - near the Laos and Ruhr neighborhoods.

The reason is that Mateo, who came from behind, is an unknown powerful transcendent from the Abyss Sect to be precise.

After doing this, Wei En and Marco discussed it, and he submitted the case file to the war department.

There was no way, Lacey wasn't there, Yegor wasn't there either, and they didn't want to trouble Arianna, so they could only report to the higher-ups through the people in the war department.

"Huh, I hope we can deal with the Abyss Sect and them."

After the case file was sent out, Wei En calmly looked at the city of Custer outside the window and fell into deep thought.

…

…

In the administrative building of the Secret Service Department, there is a spacious conference room.

"After using the developing agent for observation, it has been determined that the people who just appeared in the Ruhr neighborhood are the favored member of the Abyss Sect, Paulsen Heikeme, and an unknown transcendent."

Omode reported seriously: "Especially the one who came to the rescue later, he is very strong!"

"According to your observation, is it possible that the other party is at the director level?" Abbott, the director of the war department, asked with interest.

"Probably."

"Oh? The newly joined investigator is quite good. He was able to escape from them. Director, do you think you can transfer him to our combat department?"

Abbott's mind recalled the appearance of Wayne, whom he had seen before in the Basil neighborhood. At that time, he felt that his strength was good, at least at the captain level.

Dong dong dong...

"Abbott, how long has it been and you are still thinking about this?"

Deputy Director Balaz knocked on the table with dissatisfaction, "Now we are discussing the elimination of the parasite as soon as possible to avoid the tragic situation similar to the Idris City State."

"Didn't we just discuss it? Just sweep the entire city-state, and there are just a few thousand parasites."

"Abbott..."

"Okay," Alais raised his hand and said with a slightly tired look, "Let's proceed according to the plan and divide each area of ​​responsibility as soon as possible."

"Director, I'm ready."

Abbott looked at the parchment in his hand and said: "The first combat department and the second investigation department are responsible for the factory area in the eastern part of the city-state, including the Ruhr neighborhood and the Idrisu neighborhood."

"The second combat department and the first investigation department are responsible for the western part of the city-state, including the Basil and Natoli neighborhoods."

"Finally, according to the feedback from investigators who have fought against the Abyss Sect before, the location of the Bone Erosion Mother Insect is near the Laos neighborhood and the Ruhr neighborhood. I will go over and solve it..."

"Wait a minute, Abbott, isn't this distribution inappropriate?"

"Deputy Director Dolf, what suggestions do you have?"

"Since the people from the Abyss Sect are all in the Laos neighborhood,"

Dolf glanced around and said solemnly: "I suggest that a few of us take action to sweep away to avoid unnecessary casualties."

As soon as these words came out, several other senior executives looked thoughtful.

"Dolph, I don't recommend doing this." Balazs thought for a while and shook his head.

"Why? I know that Minister Abbott's strength is comparable to that of a director, but the other party is the Abyss Sect, and this time it is mainly about sacrifice. If something unexpected happens..."

"Listen to me, what I mean is that it is enough for me and Deputy Director Nifa to cooperate with Abbott."

"...You and Nifa?"

Dolph was stunned for a moment. He looked at the two people sitting on Alais's left and right hands. With their strength, they were indeed enough to solve all the troubles.

He hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, then Moises and I will stay in the department and wait for the director's dispatch."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"..."

Seeing that several people had communicated the specific action plan, Alais said: "Then execute the plan according to the plan and eliminate all parasites as soon as possible to avoid a worse situation."

"I will contact Crist later. Once the location of the parasite is determined, the city guards stationed in each block will assist you in the fight."

"clear!"

Abbott and others stood up, saluted with different expressions, then turned around and left the conference room to prepare themselves.

After most people left, only Alais and his deputy, Balazs and Nifa, were the only two deputy directors left in the conference room.

"Ales, are you sure you want to go to the slums alone? It's too risky." Balazs said worriedly.

"hehe,"

The tired look on Alais's face slowly disappeared, "Originally, I was still thinking about who to leave for the final battle, but unexpectedly someone came to my door."

"A director-level director of the Abyss Sect, no matter who he is, it is enough to accompany me to death."

"you!?"

"Balaz," a veiled woman on the other side leaned on a high-backed chair and said calmly: "Since Alais has made a decision, let him go."

"Look, Nifa is more calm."

"Now is not the time to be calm!"

Balaz stood up and said angrily: "Ales, I know you have never gotten over what happened back then, and you are not willing to cooperate with treatment, but..."

"enough!"

Sizzle!

Following this low shout, several arcs of lightning flashed across, raging around and smashing several tables and chairs into pieces.

Under the silvery white light, Alais's face looked very gloomy, "Balaz, you only need to do what you are responsible for."

"you……"

"No more words."

Before he could finish speaking, Alais raised his hand and the arc around him dissipated, "You know, sooner or later, this day will come."

Having said this, his eyes gradually softened, and he stood up and patted Balazs on the shoulder, "After I leave, cooperate with Nifa, and the Secret Adjustment Department will rely on you from now on."

"Also, remember to take cover for me. I don't want anyone to interrupt the final battle."

Baraz looked at him with a wry smile, "Ales..."

"Stop it, Balazs."

Nifa also stood up, wearing a tight black dress that made her figure even more proud, "Let's think about how the Secret Adjustment Department will handle itself after Alais leaves."

"Hahaha, it's true,"

Alais laughed heartily and was in high spirits, as if he had returned to his boyhood. "Come on, come and have a few drinks with me. I don't know if there is better wine in the other world..."

…

…

When Krims Cathedral rang the third bell in the afternoon, everyone from the War Department and Investigation Department of the Secret Service Division had already gathered outside the Property Management Department.

The two deputy directors, Balazs and Nifa, stood in front of the team and looked at everyone with serious expressions.

"I believe everyone is aware of the seriousness of this incident. The Abyss Sect is trying to replicate the disaster of the Idris City State and destroy the Castor City State..."

Wayne stood in the crowd, followed by Tina, Marco and others, quietly listening to Balaz's speech on the stage.

Judging from the current response measures of the Secret Adjustment Department, at least it is impossible for the Abyss Sect to create a third-level disaster through a sacrificial ceremony.

Not to mention the parasites they clean up, the strength and determination of the Secret Adjustment Department can be seen just by the two deputy directors taking action against Mateo.

This made him sigh in relief.

Sure enough, no one in this world is a fool, especially those who have committed similar evil acts like the Abyss Sect. Each city-state has corresponding countermeasures.

But Wei En also knows very well that this time it is not just the Abyss Sect, but also the Desire Sect hidden in the dark and some people in the Nightless City...

But as long as the Abyss Sect and those parasites are dealt with, it doesn't matter what the purpose of those people is.

The third level disaster is gone, can they create another one?

"...The above are the specific arrangements for this operation. Let Somle start now."

Immediately afterwards, the Property Management Department led several other personnel in Somle and distributed equipment that can detect parasites to everyone.

Wei En hasn't seen Somle for a long time since he last received the second-level mission reward.

Looking at him now, he looked quite serious and serious.

"Baba, there's something weird about him."

"Huh?" Wayne glanced at the speaking ghost and asked through the source: "What's weird?"

"Somewhat like the person I devoured before."

"Swallow?"

"The one with the delicious bones, the horse..."

The driver rolled his eyes, "That's the Undead Knight."

Like Ogonyan?

Wei En frowned slightly and carefully observed Somle's appearance. There was nothing special about him, right?

Could it be that he is also a wizard from the Ghost School?

Or maybe, with the same identity as Ognyan, he is a shadow person under the Ghost Liaison Department?

Well, it seems that we need to pay attention to it later.

After everyone had received their equipment, Deputy Director Balazs nodded to Abbott and said, "It's time to start. Let's take action."

"Everyone, let's go!"

Everyone present began to walk outside the Secret Adjustment Department, and according to the goals of their respective teams, they went to different neighborhoods to perform the task of cleaning up parasites.

"Abbott, for the time being, you can lead the team to clean up the Idrisu neighborhood. Nifa and I will go to the Laos neighborhood to investigate in advance. We will take action after we find out."

"Um?"

Abbott was stunned for a moment, "Don't you need me to come with you?"

"With Nifa here, it's enough." Balazs shook his head, a trace of sadness flashed across his face, "After the Idrisu neighborhood is dealt with, it won't be too late for you to come over..."

"Then I will take people to clean up the factory area in Idrisu Street first..." Abbott thought for a while and nodded.

At this time, Nifa suddenly said: "Let's go to the residential area too. Your people should start from the Basil Block first. With your strength, the progress will be much faster."

"……Can."

After everyone left, Baraz sighed, "Nifa, why did you agree to Alais' plan?"

"The guns are ringing, the knell has come,"

Under Nifa's veil, those bright eyes looked at the Krims Cathedral not far away, "This is a fate that none of us can escape."

"you……"

Dang, Dang Dang Dang.

The four o'clock bell rang at the right time, reminding everyone in the city of Custer that midnight was approaching.

"Let's go, it's time for us to cooperate."

Upon hearing the sound of the bell, Balazs pursed his lips, and the furrow on his face deepened.

Way to go Ales...

…

…

At the same time, in a dark room, six candlesticks were placed on the long conference table, and dozens of candles were swaying, reflecting the shadows of the people around the table.

"Lan'er, the Secret Adjustment Department has already started taking action!"

"As planned, the sacrifice ceremony of the Abyss Sect is enough to involve the Secret Adjustment Department and the others. I wonder if Alais will take action..."

"He will!" Laner said with great certainty.

"oh?"

"With his character, even if he knew this was a trap prepared for him, he would still step into it!"

"In that case, our plan will be at the last step!"

"Well, let's start when the people from the Black Pearl arrive!"

"Hahaha...I really look forward to that moment."

"It's a pity that Alais has persisted for so long, and I'm afraid he won't be able to see such a great moment. I really hope he can be there to watch..."

"Forget it, haven't you suffered enough from him over the years?"

"I'm just saying it."

"Okay, let's go prepare ourselves and prepare for the new era of Custer City-State!"

A smile appeared on Lan Er's handsome face, he raised the wine glass in front of him and stood up, saying, "Everyone, praise me for my glory!"

"Glory!"

…

…

"Wayne, here are the lanterns and candles for the night, please put them away."

Marco took out the equipment for night work that he received from the Property Management Department, "You must remember that even if you are protected by the light of a lantern, you cannot stay under the red moon for more than two hours."

"Yes, I took note of it."

Wayne took the lantern and candle and put them into the space ring, "Are we sure we want to spread out?"

He looked at the combat personnel who had been divided into two groups in front, and was a little worried that something might happen during the night investigation.

"Don't worry, the people in the war department are a little bit crazy, and they are not weak at all." Marco looked relaxed, took Lidya's hand and shook it, "Besides, she is stronger."

"oh?"

Wayne looked at Lydia, remembering that he heard before that this noble lady of the Ernst family was not a transcendent?

"Even if you're not extraordinary, you can still deal with extraordinary people." Lydia blinked at him and said mysteriously: "Sometimes it's even stronger."

"sharp."

Pfft.

Marco couldn't help laughing. When he saw Lidia's smile froze, he waved his hands quickly and said, "Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean it."

"You are such a bastard..."

Um, what's going on?

Wei En looked at them suspiciously, not understanding what riddle they were trying to solve.

"Actually, I envy you. After all, not everyone is followed by two captain-level transcendent guards when they go out..."

"You still say?! I'll bite you to death!" Lydia became angry and chased Marco to bite him.

Wayne: "..."

It turns out that this is how ordinary people can deal with extraordinary beings. I learned...

"Brother Marco, there should be parasites in the Natoli neighborhood. You...be careful."

"Okay, no problem, and the captain and Minister Yegor are not far from there. If we are really in danger, I will go there and ask for help."

"Um."

Not long after, Wei En, Tina, and Marco dispersed, each followed by a team of four combat department personnel.

"Are you clear about the mission objectives? Investigate and eliminate all bone-eating insects and their parasites in Basil's neighborhood."

Unfortunately, the person in charge of the Basil neighborhood in the combat department was the Lacey family member, Santiago Montoya, who almost had a conflict with Wayne before.

"Introduce each other to avoid problems with cooperation."

Wayne knew that he and Tina were being asked, and said honestly: "Wayne Loft is good at using muskets and is a wizard apprentice."

The previous scene when he fought with the assassin had been seen by the people in the war department, and there was no need to hide it.

The white-haired girl tilted her head, as if thinking, "Tina, fist."

"Kaitan and I are in charge of Kutla Avenue in the south, Hector, you and Chirrut are in charge of the north."

As Wei En thought, after they finished their introduction, Santiago directly arranged: "As for Wei En... you two take the main road, there are more people there, and most of them come from the sea, the parasites There won’t be too many.”

"clear."

Looking at his serious look, Wei En couldn't help but feel a much better impression of him.

This is a person who can understand the situation clearly and is not as brainless as he appeared before.

At the same time, he also secretly increased his vigilance.

Even these extraordinary beings who often deal with all kinds of aberrations are so cautious. I am afraid that this mission will not be as simple as he thinks.

"Keitaan, let's begin."

"good."

Kaitarn took out the detection equipment just issued by the Property Management Department, a palm-sized black box with an antenna-like device on it.

After he activated the detection equipment, Wei En's mental perception could feel the runic power emanating from the box.

Um?

Only less than a hundred meters away?

"You guys start it too. When I'm in danger, I'll call out and the others will immediately come to my aid."

"clear."

Immediately afterwards, the six people separated and carefully checked for places where parasites might be present along the three main roads in the Basil neighborhood.

Wayne took Tina into the Basil neighborhood again and thought to himself: There are not many parasites here, but there are those Vazquez people.

I hope they left with what they wanted...

Perhaps because it was approaching nightfall, there were not many people coming and going on this once bustling main road, and even the sailors rarely saw it.

[You are under a mental perception scan by Robson Sverak. Reward: Survival point +1. 】

【……】

[You are scanned by Michele Este’s mental perception. Reward: Survival point +1. 】

However, just because there is no one on the street does not mean that there are really fewer people...

Wei En looked at the more than ten prompt messages on the panel. Before that, he was thinking of going to Basil Street to get some survival points.

Now it seems that the previous idea was correct.

He had just walked less than ten meters and already gained more than a dozen survival points, which was really enough to give him face.

Thinking like this, Wei En pulled Tina and strode towards the port. His mental perception covered the surrounding three kilometers and did not find anything abnormal.

Compared with the panel, the detection equipment issued by the Secret Adjustment Division is completely unattractive.

If there were parasites within his range of perception, the panel would have given him a warning.

The area of ​​the Basil neighborhood is not large, but there are cliffs facing the sea in the north and south directions, and all the way to Custer Port in the west.

Therefore, the Basil neighborhood is longer than other neighborhoods in the east-west direction.

Three major thoroughfares continue to the west and eventually converge. At the same time, there are alleys on both sides of the middle avenue that lead to other streets.

This is why Santiago has the confidence to provide quick support, and the distance from north to south is no more than two kilometers.

With the strength and speed of extraordinary beings like them, support can be in place in less than 30 seconds.

"Nothing at all?"

Wayne and Tina walked west for nearly half an hour and arrived near the alley where they came with Marco before.

But strangely, apart from some spiritual perceptions, he found nothing.

Not even one of the common murderous intent locks appeared before... Could it be that those hot-tempered sailors and pirates have changed their gender?

Obviously impossible!

Wei En stopped and used his spiritual sense to carefully perceive everything around him. He always felt that something was strange here.

It's so peaceful!

Not only were the passing sailors and people on the ship missing, but there were also many girls wearing cool clothes missing outside the pubs on both sides of the street.

Wei En glanced around and felt enlightened.

No wonder I felt something was wrong. It turned out that the girls who were standing outside and calling guests enthusiastically were missing...

How can it be?

He looked at a tavern not far ahead, thought for a moment, and then walked over with Tina.

[You are scanned by Claire Yuri Biondini's mental perception. Reward: Survival Points +2. 】

Claire?

"Hey, if I were you, I wouldn't walk in at this time~"

Hearing this voice, Wayne turned around and looked at a man wearing half leather armor, "Claire?"

"..." Claire rolled her eyes and muttered: "I still can't hide it from you..."

"Why are you here? And you just said you can't go in, right?"

When Wei En saw his expression, he knew that he had guessed correctly. He pulled Tina who was moving next to him and said, "This person is not an enemy for the time being."

"Tina, I know."

The white-haired girl loosened her grip on the clown doll, but still stared at Claire.

"What does temporary mean? I'm not your enemy in the first place, okay?"

Claire's pure manly face changed a bit, revealing only half of her original appearance, "Follow me, this is not the place to talk."

Wei En looked around and followed her into a nearby alley.

"Where are you going?"

"Just follow me," Claire said angrily: "If I want to hurt you, do I still need to wait until now~"

"...That's true."

Wayne touched his nose. He was really not used to a man showing such a charming expression...

After walking for a few minutes, Claire led him into a small house, "Come in."

After his mental perception found no abnormalities, Wei En took Tina and walked in together, and couldn't wait to ask: "What happened just now?"

Claire returned to her original appearance and figure, but instead of the short skirt and tight clothes she wore before, she wore a very simple long linen skirt. She looked just like the beautiful girl next door.

"Also, if I hadn't appeared in time just now, you would have fallen into a trap."

Wayne looked at her doubtfully, "Is there something wrong with that pub?"

"It's not just that pub, there are problems in the entire Basil neighborhood now." Claire waved for them to sit down.

"The whole neighborhood? No way?"

Wayne thought that there was no prompt from the mental perception and the panel just now. Is there really a big problem in Basil Block?

"Someone has set up a rune circle here." Claire said casually.

"Fa, magic circle?"

Wei En opened his mouth, "You mean, there weren't many people on the street just now, was it because of the effect of the magic circle?"

"That's not true. There really aren't many people. Most of them are contained in the rooms on both sides."

Claire shook her head, "The reason you didn't notice it is because there are magic circles in every house, so you can only perceive what they want you to 'see'."

So that’s it!

No wonder he felt like he was being spied on when he was on the road before.

But there was no prompt on the panel. It seemed that those who spied on him were just following him routinely and did not show any hostility towards him.

"There are so many taverns here, as well as the sailors and pirates on the sea, how could they be controlled all at once?"

Wei En was very puzzled. There were at least tens of thousands of people in Basil Block, as well as city guards stationed there.

If there is a problem here, the top officials of the city-state should not be able to discover anything!

"Of course there are some more powerful guys coming."

"who?"

A solemn look appeared on Claire's face, "I also found out when I happened to come here. If I'm not mistaken, they should all be people on the Black Pearl."

"The Black Pearl...couldn't it be the sea emperor who came to Custer?" Wei En suddenly said: "I heard that he will not come to land easily."

"How could it be him?" Claire said angrily: "If that person had come in person, I would have run away long ago."

run?

Wei En looked at her with an expression that didn't seem like she was lying, but he had no idea about the strength of Sea Emperor Isabello.

Not to mention Isabello, so far he has seen several ministerial moves.

As for strength...that's it, I don't feel much stronger than him.

"Is he that scary?"

"More than just terrifying, how could the man who had been running the Kordo Sea for decades do this if he was not strong? Do you still remember the sea monster you saw a few days ago?"

"Remember." Wayne was so impressed by the deep sea monster Rasim that he almost blinded him.

"That monster is the pet of Sea Emperor Isabello!"

"Um??"

Fuck, that terrifying deep sea beast is Isabello’s pet?

Now Wei En had an idea of ​​the emperor's strength. He was definitely an extraordinary person at the inhuman level.

Even pets are in level three disasters. How strong is Isabello?

A level four disaster comparable to Tina's complete deformation?

"It's true. This is the news I just got," Claire said with an ugly expression, "And even if I want to leave now, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave."

Is the situation already so critical?

Wei En thought in hindsight: In the morning, when they met Poulsen and the others, they didn't see that they were going to start the sacrificial ceremony.

He thought it would be easier after cleaning up the parasites.

"What is the situation now? Is it related to the Abyss Sect?"

"It would be easier to deal with them if they were the only ones..." Claire sighed, "Actually, I saw the favored ones of the Abyss Sect last night, and I also found the location of those parasites."

"Did you see him too?"

"also?"

Wayne said honestly: "I fought with him in the Ruhr neighborhood today."

"Fight? You?" Claire looked at him in surprise, "You didn't die... you shouldn't have."

"Under normal circumstances, it's really difficult to deal with."

Wayne looked at Tina next to him and said, "You'd better tell me what's going on now."

"Okay, it just so happens that I have something to ask you for help, or to help each other..."

Thanks to the endless dimension boss for the reward

There are no more updates today, but there are still two chapters of words... I have too much work during the day and no time to write. I will add more chapters tomorrow when I am not busy.
