"Hurry up, hurry up! Move faster!"
At 8 o'clock in the evening, in the Flower Street area of the Hamlets district, police officers in blue and green uniforms beat every door with rubber batons and drove out all the residents of their homes. Anyone who disobeyed would be beaten and kicked. , with a very tough attitude.
London residents were not vegetarians. At one point, they had a physical conflict with the police, roaring and fighting. For a while, the scene fell into chaos and a fight broke out in the street.
"Stop! Stop! You uneducated bastards! Stop it!"
Senior Inspector Lovren shouted loudly, not daring to look at Baron Frederick, Mavey and others standing beside him. He could only curse and stop everyone's violent actions.
Civilization, of course, is civilized.
Mavey was not surprised at all about the chaos in London.
Before the start of the Industrial Revolution, the Kingdom of Windsor had no police, and security maintenance had always been within the scope of local autonomy and controlled by local powerful men.
After the outbreak of the Industrial Revolution, in order to curb the growing criminal activities, popular protests, demonstrations and class conflicts, Parliament successively passed the 'Greater London Police Act', 'Township Autonomy Act', and ' A series of new police systems from central to local levels, including the County Police Act' and the 'County and Municipal Police Act'.
However, the birth of the police was not welcomed by the people. Instead, it was opposed by the people because of the obstruction of local dignitaries and over-centralization of power. The people gave the police the titles of 'green devil', 'raw lobster', 'gendarme', 'The murderous thug' and other nicknames, often beat police officers.
Even the Church of the Three Destinies does not support the police system, because once the new police are established in the parish, the parish will be levied a security tax, which affects the interests of the church, but the church has to admit that after the arrival of the gods, they really need The police are here to maintain law and order for ordinary people, but the constant emergence of supernatural beings is enough to give them a headache...
The church is unwilling to pay the security tax. They use various reasons to default on the tax, which makes the police in various places short of funds, poor treatment, low wages, and extremely unstable.
This situation has led to a very high turnover rate in the police force, an inability to recruit outstanding talents, and a low average quality of police officers. Many of them do not even have the ability to read and write.
This is a bad debt that has not yet been resolved. The church neither supports nor opposes the police. The kingdom cannot come up with a good solution for a while and can only delay it.
The Romanov Kingdom originally faced this kind of problem, but half a year ago, Ma Wei led the Church of Truth to overthrow the rule of Paul I and purge the powerful people who opposed the truth. The police officers who hung out with the powerful people were also liquidated and officials were reassigned. , police, mayor... The relationship between the people and the kingdom has eased, ushering in the honeymoon period.
Under the scolding of Senior Inspector Lovren and the firing of warning shots, the riot gradually subsided. The reluctant people followed the instructions of the police and temporarily left the Flower Street area. As soon as they left, the second prince Shukri led them behind. Then the witcher arrived.
The sky was dark, and white mist floated on the streets. In the mist, figures in black coats emerged. They did not march in formation like the police team, but occupied all the streets of Flower Street the moment they arrived. They appeared on the main roads and even on the rooftops.
They were wearing coats, black priest robes, and military caps on their heads. They were as silent as ghosts, hidden in the mist, and surrounded No. 27 Flower Street.
As if feeling the breath of the demon hunter, the Demonic Wooden Box vibrated slightly. Ma Wei raised his hand and patted it twice, and the Demonic Wooden Box returned to silence.
"Mr. Nicholas, Mr. Holmes, this is the director of the London headquarters of the Witcher - Pascal Ramos. Director Pascal is also the archbishop of the London diocese."
The second prince, Shukri, said to a middle-aged man behind him who was wearing a black military hat and a coat: "Director Pascal, this is Mr. Nicholas, he was the first discoverer of the scene."
Ma Wei looked at Pascal, who had a short beard and short hair in front of him. His left eye seemed to be blind, covered with a thick layer of white clots and glowing with hollow light. His right eye was normal, dark brown. His eyes were filled with coldness.
When Mavey was observing Pascal, Pascal was also observing him. Their eyes met. Pascal nodded slightly as a greeting. Then he looked at the wooden door of the apartment not far away and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Nicholas, the devil where?"
"The innermost room on the third floor."
"Um."
Putting his finger to his mouth, Pascal whistled, stretched out his hand and made a few gestures, and the next second...
The figures standing in the mist, with golden light suddenly shining through the gaps in their thick clothes, were extremely conspicuous in the darkness, and immediately attracted Ma Wei's attention.
A woman with a ponytail jumped up to the roof of No. 27 Flower Street. She knelt down and pressed her palms against the roof. Her red lips were moving and she was reciting obscure prayers. Under her feet, a golden magic circle slowly appeared. unfolded, illuminating the dark mist.
Katcha!
Katcha!
It was like a crackling sound from stepping on the ice. Small cracks suddenly appeared on the roof. The place wrapped by the magic circle quickly scorched and rotted, as if hundreds or thousands of years had passed in an instant. The hard stone bricks Brittle, wooden posts rot....
Director Pascal raised his arm and waved it down heavily:
"action!"
Whoosh whoosh!
The demon hunters on the roof broke through the brittle roof and rushed into the apartment. As soon as they entered, the roof collapsed with a bang. Then, a shrill, shrill roar like a baby sounded in the apartment. .
Within the rising dust, a huge black figure could be vaguely seen twisting in it, accompanied by wailing screams that echoed through the streets. After a few minutes, the screams gradually subsided and finally stopped completely.
Click.
The apartment door opened, and several demon hunters in black coats came out. After a battle, their clothes were stained with some dust, but their bodies were unharmed.
Ma Wei and others finally saw the true face of the 'devil'. A skinny young man was detained by the demon hunter and brought to them. His hair was sallow and dry, and his pale skin had black blood vessels running downstream. His face was ferocious. , the eyes are yellow vertical children like dragons, and there are fine cyan scales growing around the eye sockets...
To be honest, one cannot call him a human being.
The woman with a ponytail stood at attention and said to Pascal: "Director, as per your request, we successfully captured the target alive!"
"Son! Son!"
Before Director Pascal could speak, Mr. Hamlet limped out from behind Ma Wei and the others, and threw himself in front of the skinny young man. He stretched out his hands tremblingly, wanting to touch but not daring to touch him. The son's cheek, "Son, what's wrong with you...Son...don't you know your father?"
A pair of yellow vertical boys stared at Mr. Hamlet coldly, coldly and without a trace of emotion. Seeing this scene, Director Pascal signaled his men to pull Mr. Hamlet away and whispered: "The target has been possessed by extraordinary power. Infection, judging from the reaction to relatives and the state of alienation, the infection is about to be completed, and there is little hope for treatment. According to the rules, we should send the infected people who are in an alienated state to the Holy See for disposal... Your Highness, the Second Prince, do you think we What should we do next?”
"Of course I'm following the rules, but..."
Second Prince Shukri took out a glass bottle from his arms and handed it to Director Pascal, "This is the blood of mercury, a high-level magic potion. It has a restraining effect on extraordinary beings. Let him drink it."
Director Pascal looked at the glass bottle handed over by the second prince, hesitated for a moment, then took it, pulled out the cork, and asked his men to open the young man's mouth, tilt the bottle, and the viscous red liquid flowed in little by little. It hit his throat.
"ah!
! "
The young man who drank the blood of mercury suddenly struggled violently, his chest heaved violently, his eyeballs bulged, and the blood vessels under his pale skin quickly turned red. In the blink of an eye, the scales around the eye sockets disappeared, and the yellow vertical eyes also recovered. It was normal, but the blood vessels seemed to burst, and fine drops of blood oozed out...
"Your Highness the Second Prince..." Ma Wei came to Shukri's side and whispered: "The dosage is too much. If this continues, he will die. You should use the immortal realm."
Second Prince Shukri nodded: "Director Pascal, please use the Immortal Domain."
Director Pascal glanced at the ponytailed woman. The woman immediately raised her arms and rolled up her sleeves, revealing a gold ring stamped on her skin.
The golden ring burst out with light, and the realm of immortality unfolded and began to repair the young man's body that was about to explode. After reaching a certain equilibrium state, the young man lay on the ground and began to retching. It didn't take long...
It spat out a millipede the size of a fist, curled up into a ball.
The millipede squirmed painfully in the vomit, exuding an evil aura. The young man fainted and fell to the ground. The second prince Shukri laughed loudly:
"Hahaha! It worked! The advanced potion really works! Director Pascal, I leave this to you!"
"Yes, His Highness the Second Prince."
"Mr. Nicholas!"
The second prince Shukri turned his head and looked at Ma Wei with fiery eyes: "Let's go, let the demon hunters handle this. They will deal with the aftermath. I have a lot to say to you... "
】
Looking away from the millipede, Ma Wei nodded, followed the second prince, and got on the carriage returning to Yinling District.
