Hot Springs City Hall, parking lot.
Several people gathered around, watching the straw hat uncle take out the "Dragon Seeking Ruler" with pride on his face.
Mobi’s words are astonishing:
"The result could be failure."
"As for Ai Liang, I'm afraid the search won't be able to find his location."
"Will it fail?" Vera and Zong Chen looked at each other and asked.
"Yeah!" Mo Zhi nodded and was about to explain, but Uncle Straw Hat shook his head:
"How could it fail?"
"My search is a very powerful tracking item, and it almost never fails."
"With the help of searches, I helped the Punishment Council capture dozens of exiled contractors this year, many of whom were yellow-level."
"Everyone is envious of me for searching for it, saying it is the red one among contract items."
It seems that this "Dragon-seeking Ruler" is the personal belongings of the Straw Hat Uncle. He relied on his tools to get into the "workplace" and became a popular figure in punishing the various city inspection bureaus under the Parliament... Unexpectedly laughed secretly in his heart.
It is estimated that with his "search", the straw hat man is very popular in various grassroots inspection offices.
There was no need to argue with the uncle anyway, and it only took a few seconds. Mozhi immediately said:
"Then let's try it first."
Aubrey Bacon confidently placed the underground search pointer on the photos in Ailiang's archives, activating Fu Yuan.
Prophecy Krisna's divination failed, indicating that Ailiang had implanted a crystal and became an "insulator" immune to all contract abilities.
"Divination" has no results, and "search" has no reason to succeed.
Sure enough, as the pointers on both arms rotated slower and slower, when Ai Liang's position was about to be obtained, the symbol sources on the entire "search" suddenly became restless, and a small-scale symbol source explosion occurred.
The pointers on both arms did not point straight in a certain direction like before, but wandered in various directions as if they had lost their souls, as if they were not confident about the results.
"It actually failed..."
Aubrey Bacon showed a surprised expression and looked unpredictable:
"No results can be obtained!"
"This is...this is..."
He quickly lowered his head to check "Search" again, as if trying to find out what was wrong. After a while of checking, he sighed in vain:
"No problem, what a failure."
Only then did Zong Chen and Vera look at Mo unpredictable:
"You already knew the result?"
Mozhi nodded calmly and said:
"I heard it from Caius..."
"One of Caius' missions in Hot Spring City is to capture Aira and recover several crystals from him."
"Crystal?" Vera asked with a frown.
"Well, I'll explain it to you." Mobi breathed a sigh of relief and slowly told everyone about the "crystalline body".
Before this, Mozhi couldn't actually mention crystals. After all, the information about crystals came from "knowledge" and there was no way to explain the source.
But now I am not afraid anymore, I can blame it all on Caius and become the source.
Although Caius did not know the name of the crystal, he only knew that it was an "important experimental item" lost by the Federal Academy of Natural Sciences, but what difference did it make?
Anyway, Caius will not be resurrected to expose the unpredictable lies.
Yes, it was a lie - Mu Zhi was equivalent to telling a lie to share the top-secret information about the crystal with the captain and Zong Baiyi, so that they could also re-evaluate Ai Liang's risk level.
After all, he still has a crystal in his hand.
This can be considered a well-intentioned fraud... Mu Zhi thought to himself and explained:
"...Crystals are like this. Ai Liang stole four crystals from the Federal Academy of Natural Sciences, and he should still have one in his hand now."
"... After becoming an insulator, ordinary ironmen are equivalent to being immune to all contract abilities... You know, I once used mind reading on Aira, but the result was also a failure."
"Crystal, there is such a magical thing that can turn the contractor into an ordinary Ironborn again?" Even the white-robed captain Zongchen had never heard of this, and he was immediately surprised and asked:
"Is it made by the Federal Academy of Natural Sciences?"
Unpredictable shook his head, indicating that he didn't know... After all, the information about the thing produced after Pandora's secret realm was attacked by a nuclear bomb has nothing to do with the case. Telling it would only add to the explanation.
Vera nodded, frowning and said: "If Ai Liang has a crystal in his hand, it will be really dangerous."
After saying that, the captain seemed to remember something and turned to look at Mo Zhi:
"Did you get this information from Caius?"
"How did you get it?"
"Don't say you got it from him by cheating him."
Well... I am very honest and kind, how could I leave such a deceitful image to the captain? Unexpectedly, he complained in his heart and smiled on his face:
"Caius was killed by me."
Vera's eyes suddenly widened, as if she heard something incredible.
It wasn't until Zong Baiyi helped that he roughly explained what happened in the morning.
"You killed an orange-level peak one-on-one..."
Vera still struggled to calm down.
You know, she is only at the orange level. If she is one-on-one with Caius, the outcome is actually difficult to predict.
If Unpredictable can defeat Caius, wouldn't he also have a fight with Vera?
At this time, Vera Alexandra felt vaguely that her position as the number one combat force of the Hot Spring City Inspectorate seemed a little unstable.
This little guy who had just been promoted to the red level... Vera's thoughts were racing for a while, and then she focused on the task in front of her.
After seeing that Aubrey Bacon's second attempt still failed, Vera's heart suddenly moved and she looked unpredictable:
"You knew you would fail a long time ago. Did you already think of a way?"
Well... the captain saw through it again, and Mo Zhi smiled bitterly.
During the recent period, Lao Yang and Vera have developed the "habit" of asking themselves more questions when they encounter problems.
Mozhi nodded slightly and said, "Let's try someone else."
After saying that, he activated Fu Yuan and took out another "Warehouse" belt from the "Warehouse".
This thing is one of the two contract items that Mozhi got when he fought against the Saint "Water Snake". The other one is the "defensive" Hesse women's robe.
Mo Jie has three "warehouses" on him at this time. In addition to the "warehouse" ring that comes standard with the Supervisory Office, there is also the warehouse bracelet that was seized at the "Crooked Corner", which is now used to hold Caius' body.
Of course, the contents of the warehouse belt with the water snake logo handed to the captain had already been plundered by him.
"The saint from the southern tribe, left behind from the last fight..."
Mobi explained: "Ai Liang was originally lurking in the Black Mustang Club, which is the hometown of the Southern Tribe. It can be seen that he has a lot of connections with the people in the Southern Tribe."
"We can't find Ai Liang. We can search for the saint. If we capture her, we might be able to get information about Ai Liang."
"Although Ai Liang has become an insulator, that saint has no way of making the search fail."
"We have to act quickly! Try not to give Ai Liang time to react. If we are too slow, even if we take down the Saint, Ai Liang might notice it and move his position." Zong Chen nodded after hearing this and looked at Vera:
"This is a good idea."
"It's very thoughtful."
...The third time I used the orange-level contract item: Search, even though Uncle Straw Hat is an orange-level contractor, he still felt that the consumption of rune sources was a bit overwhelming.
Fortunately, as the pointer under the "Xunlong Ruler" clicked on the belt, after injecting the talisman source, the pointers on both arms rotated rapidly for a while, and finally pointed clearly to the east.
This time it finally worked!
The five people immediately drove towards the east side of the city.
Mo Cai did not forget to share the information about the "Water Snake" with everyone in the car:
"The saint wears a mask. Her appearance is not confirmed, but judging from her voice, she should be around twenty years old."
"Her abilities include losing thoughts, implanting thoughts, causing confusion, and she can also erase the target's memory... Well, they are all under the category of consciousness or memory manipulation."
"In terms of contract level, I think she is at least orange level."
"The woman who attacked the Supervisory Office must have been implanted with thoughts by her, and at the same time, she was implanted with crystals by Ai Liang, turning her into a timed white light bomb..."
Vera in the passenger seat nodded:
"We have one yellow-level, three orange-level, and unpredictable... If we deal with her, our combat power will be an overwhelming advantage."
Akali, who was driving, suddenly laughed when she heard this:
"Although Unpredictable is at the red level, he is capable of killing Caius."
Uncle Straw Hat has been listening to the conversation of several people, and even he keeps looking at the unpredictable... The new Punisher, who was just the tail of the crane a month ago, has actually grown to this extent.
Zongchen also smiled and changed the subject:
"It's unpredictable. You talk about a saint. You still don't know what the Hesse saint is like, right?"
Unpredictably confused, he shook his head.
Aubrey Bacon has been to many places, so he naturally has some knowledge about this. He said with the same mystery on his face:
"Saint, exactly the opposite of her name."
Zong Chen glanced at Vera next to him, sighed, and explained:
"In the southern province, the Hesse people also believe in the Iron God as the original creation god, but they do not only respect the Iron God as the only god like other places on the mainland."
"The Hesse people believe in almost all gods. The stove used for cooking has a kitchen god; the horse used for riding has a horse god; even the bowls used for eating have a bowl god..."
"On the street, if you bow your head in front of the electric lamp and praise it as the djinn, a large group of people will probably follow you and worship...then the djinn will appear."
"The Hesse people are very interesting."
Mo Zhi was a little shocked by this, but still nodded to show his understanding.
The beliefs of the Hesse people are diverse, and even Qiao Bushi played the role of the god of the southern province hundreds of years ago.
This shows how much human "god" the Hesse people have.
"Because the gods they believe in are different, the ancestral temples of the Hesse people are also of different types in various places, but the personnel composition of the ancestral temples are generally similar. There are bishops, saints, and various clergy... and so on. "
Zongchen continued to explain:
"However, the saintess of the Hesse people is not only a position in the ancestral temple, but also..."
"It is the plaything of all the clergy of the ancestral temple." Uncle Straw Hat continued.
Mozhi was stunned for a moment.
Zongchen sighed:
"Most of the clergy of the Hesse religion are men, and they are not prohibited from marrying. Do you understand?"
"So, they opened up the position of saintess and would recruit young girls from poor families into the ancestral temple and train them."
"Most of the Hesse people are poor, even too poor to raise children. In addition, the status of women in their customs and culture is extremely low. Naturally, many people are willing to send their daughters to the ancestral temple to become saints."
"Although the saint also has a certain status,... as Mr. Bacon said, she also has another duty, which is to sacrifice her body and become a tool for all clergy to vent."
"The Saints will serve until middle age and are abandoned by the ancestral temple. Each ancestral temple has one or even multiple saints."
Hearing this, Mu Zhi was stunned.
This is an act of public secrecy in the name of God.
This is indeed very "Hesse"!
It turns out that the so-called saint "Water Snake" actually has such a cruel experience behind her.
Thinking of whether he was in Qiaoxi Bar at that time or the Black Mustang Club where he finally attacked, Mo Zhi had seen many shirtless and muscular men...
Now that I think about it again, it seems that things are not what I originally thought.
In the Rodinian continent, there is a profound reason for the Upper Hesse people who are not looked down upon by either the Europeans, the Tang people, or the Easterners.
There are indeed many things in the customs and culture of the Hesse people that are contrary to human nature and are intolerable and intolerable.
"It should be right here!"
Just when Mo Zhi was thinking wildly, Aubrey Bacon reminded him.
At this time, the "search" pointer rotated in the direction of the car, and a small villa appeared in front of him. It was a very familiar place, not far from the Zhitinglan villa area on the shore.
After traveling through time, Mo Bi also had his hair cut once at a roadside barber shop.
After circling the villa, the arms at the top of "Search" also rotated, pointing straight into the villa building.
"This is it, that's right."
Vera saw several security guards wearing uniform Hesse robes at the door, and said to Akali who was driving:
"We rush in."
When Akali heard the sound, she stepped on the switch and turned the steering wheel.
The car engine roared suddenly, almost drifting 90 degrees on the spot, and then like an arrow from the string, it rushed straight towards the gate guarded by several Hesse security guards.
"Who are you?"
"stop!"
"Stop~"
The security guard at the gate suddenly panicked when he saw a car rushing in his direction desperately. Only the leading man fumbled for the revolver on his waist.
Bang bang bang~
Vera had already reached out of the window and activated the tempering at the same time. Her strong strength and body mass allowed her to remain stable on the speeding car. She raised her hand and fired three shots.
The marksmanship is comparable to the unpredictable use of "accuracy".
A bullet hit the gun bag on his waist directly, causing a cluster of sparks to strike.
The other two bullets penetrated the foreman's arms respectively, causing him to lose his fighting power immediately.
At the same time, the talisman in Zong Baiyi's hand was flowing, and the entire stone pillars on both sides of the gate suddenly erupted with a burst of red light and collapsed.
It turned into two pools of crimson magma.
The heavy iron gate lost its support and fell backwards just before the car was about to collide with it.
No time difference!
The black car from the Inspectorate rushed straight into the villa estate.
Unexpectedly, feeling the push on his back caused by the increasing speed of the car, he leaned tightly against the seat.
Zongchen and Vera cleared the obstacles, causing the Hesse people in each manor who came up with guns to lose their combat effectiveness instantly, while ensuring that the other party would not die.
One yellow-level contractor, four orange-level ones, dealing with a suspected orange-level saint and a group of ordinary Hesse followers.
This kind of rich battle... I have never fought in eight lifetimes.
