Heras looked at the Nighthawks of the Church of the Night who were surrounded by armor and the Punishers who were rushing in from a distance, and he couldn't help showing an ugly expression on his face.
If those girls were not rescued by the mysterious man from before, then he still had a chance to use his former power among the nobles to save the failure of this plan. But now it can be said that there are complete human and material evidences, and the church, which has always been in harmony with the royal family, will not tell you so much.
Heras, who has dealt with the two major churches for many years, naturally knows their style of doing things, whether it is the Nighthawks who are polite on the surface but have some sinister intentions behind their backs, or those who are always straightforward in the Church of Storms. The grumpy old guys are hard to deal with.
Considering that this time it was the Church of the Night who surrounded us first, the problem was even greater. Heras thought about the search application from the Church of the Night that had been submitted to him by his informants, and couldn't help but wonder if this time it would be a fishing law enforcement action by the Church of the Night.
Of course, Heras couldn't say that in person. The most important thing now was to clear himself of suspicion in front of the church. After all, the victim was right next to him, and he did not believe that the church forces, which had conflicts of interest with the royal family and nobles, would be stupid enough to hand over the initiative to them.
So what if they knew they were members of the military? Maybe the church will use this to exert pressure on the royal family. After all, no one or any force is willing to let another force overwhelm its own sphere of influence.
Under the cover of night, the flames burned cracklingly, leaving traces of burning on the originally exquisite and gorgeous villa. Under the gas explosion, the building had completely collapsed, and now there is only a dilapidated ruin covered with many corpses.
"Prepare to arrest."
Klein, who put on his own special mask and put on a red glove uniform of the Church of the Night, shouted to the people around him.
what to do?
Almost as soon as they heard Klein's voice, the three of them thought of escaping. It is obviously impossible to confront the church head-on. The best way to deal with it now is obviously to surrender.
However, none of them dare to bet on the probability that they will be abandoned by their own organization. Even the military is not willing to let its Extraordinary people confront the church forces. If Heras is likely to be fished out, then the probability of the other two Extraordinary people being captured is too high.
In such a weird atmosphere, they faced off for more than ten seconds. Just the moment they looked away, Parker, who couldn't stand the pressure, screamed and rushed towards the place with the fewest people.
Among the three extraordinary people in the military, his rank is the lowest.
He knew that a low-sequence Extraordinary like himself would probably be given up in the end. Instead of dying in the prison of the church, he might as well give it a try now. If he did, he would still have a chance to live!
At the same time, Parker's boss Heras instantly cursed Parker's stupidity in his heart, fearing that his subordinates would implicate him. He immediately raised his hands to show that he had no malice or resistance.
Sometimes you have to be cowardly when you should be cowardly. A reckless person will always meet his death quickly in an unexpected place. Both Master Luo and the tuxedo clown that Klein encountered before have proven this truth, and now Parker in front of Klein has explained this truth more vividly.
People will always do some irrational behaviors when they are crazy. In fact, Parker made the right choice, but he obviously underestimated the combat capabilities of the "Red Gloves" special team. Just like now, when he faced Dunn and Daley, a Sequence 5 couple, and Klein equipped with "Creeping Hunger", he was naturally defenseless.
After all, Parker is only at Sequence 8 now. How could he escape and ascend to heaven without the assistance of powerful magical items?
Drag into a dream! Control the spirit! Secret puppet transformation!
With the ability of Sequence 5 belonging to three different pathways, Parker was killed on the spot and turned into a temporary marionette controlled by Klein. Klein and Dunn looked at each other, and used their eyes to hint to Dunn, who had already taken control of the scene, not to let Ms. Daly step forward to channel Kapin.
Klein, the instigator, knew that Kapin was stared to death by the evil god "Primordial Moon" after all. Although there are no signs of losing control, there is still some pollution on his body, and Ms. Dai Li cannot be allowed to take risks.
Dunn, who had received a hint from Archbishop Anthony before, naturally quickly understood what Klein meant and didn't say much. He was just preparing to step forward and control the remaining two Beyonders.
Just when a few people wanted to step forward and control the remaining two Beyonders, a bolt of lightning flashed from the sky. The Cardinal of the Church of Storms, "Godsinger" Ace Snake, finally arrived belatedly.
"Are you the Red Gloves of the Church of the Night?" A little doubt suddenly appeared on his ugly face: "This is the jurisdiction of the Holy Wind Cathedral, why did you come so fast?"
Dunn coughed, took a step forward and said to the archbishop of the church and the saint of sequence three according to the words taught by Archbishop Anthony before, without being humble or condescending:
"Hello, Mr. Archbishop. Because we suspect that the recent girl kidnapping case and demon serial murder case in Backlund are related to this rich man. Therefore, a week ago, we submitted a report to the local police station to investigate Kaping's residence. Apply."
Ace Snake nodded and motioned for Dunn in front of him to continue speaking. The muscles in his body relaxed a little, and the expression on his face relaxed slightly.
Dunn paused and continued:
"The strange thing is that the local police station and official Beyonders did not approve our application. According to the church's internal rules and regulations, it will take at least two working days before we can report the request for search again."
"But the case was urgent, so we dispatched a member of the Red Gloves to stay here in shifts every day. According to regulations, we only patrolled here from a distance, and our on-duty staff notified us after they discovered that there was a violent explosion here. , allowing us to quickly form a team to control the suspect in this case."
"That's it." Essneck nodded slightly and appeared beside Heras and Katie. He looked at the two of them, with a lot of oppression in his words:
"Did you do what happened this time?"
"No." Facing the saint, Heras could only bite the bullet and said: "There was a spirit body, a scarlet spirit body, that attacked us just now."
"So, those girls were also captured by the spirit body? Do we still want to reward him and give him a medal?" The old man narrowed his eyes, and his tone seemed to be suppressing thunderous anger. A bit of silver-white electric light could not help but flow out from the side.
"We are innocent..." Heras continued to argue, but Essneck just gave the order coldly and said to the punisher beside him:
"take away."
"I admit that you are probably not the ones responsible for this tragedy. After all, the Extraordinaries in your path are basically related to the military to some extent."
"But, can any of you explain to me what the prisons under your villa are used for? Hehe, they are all the favorite living sacrifices of evil gods like girls. I suspect that you and the recent ones in Backlund want to summon the true creator. He has connections with the cult organization Aurora, so you just wait to be investigated in the church’s water cell.”
Having said that, Ace Snake looked back at the few "Red Gloves" around him, and his originally sharp expression became slightly gentler: "Thanks to you for controlling the situation this time, otherwise there might be consequences for Baker." Rand had a more serious impact."
Ace Snake was indeed very grateful to these dutiful Nighthawks. After all, he didn't have time to arrive during the assassination of Qilingos last time, and he almost didn't make it this time.
If something like this happens too often, his majesty within the Church of Storms will definitely be damaged. For his own status in the church, Ace Snake still has to put in some effort.
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh, it would be great if his punishment agents had such a keen understanding. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Alger, who had previously voluntarily applied to be a privateer captain, and shook his head regretfully.
It's a pity that he is a mixed race...
Having said this, Ace Snake nodded slightly to Dunn Smith in front of him and said gently to him:
"Okay, leave the rest to us, you can go back and rest."
"Dear Archbishop, we hope that these poor girls can be accommodated." Daly said to Ace Snake. Ace Snake turned around and looked over, but Daly's eyes did not dodge:
"I think this is necessary. You also know how irresponsible the police department is when it comes to these things. And the evil god will always use sweet words to confuse people. I am worried that some of the police officers will be bribed by the Aurora Society to let them take charge of these things. The girl's follow-up work may lead to more accidents. We have investigated the abducted girls before and can roughly find where their homes are."
Seeing the miserable appearance of these girls, Dai Li couldn't help but feel a little hidden.
The grumpy archbishop rarely listened quietly to what Daley said. Ace Snake nodded slightly:
"good."
What he was thinking in his mind was that it would be too troublesome if he was responsible for sending these girls home. Just because of the rough work style of those under him makes him uneasy, and it might cause even greater trouble later on.
In other words, if the person who kidnapped these girls really has contact with Aurora, then he can just prepare his men. In fact, he didn't care that much about the life and death of these girls. For the church, these girls were not important care objects.
However, Dai Li's words reminded him that according to the style of his group of punishers, it might not be so appropriate to hand these girls over to them.
But Ace Snake couldn't help but have questions in his mind. He was curious and wanted to ask how the Church of the Night usually handles these things, and planned to use this to scold the Extraordinaries under him in the future.
"What are you going to do with these girls?" Ace Snake said in a stiff tone, which seemed to be mixed with a little anger.
"We will let them rest in the church's monastery for one night, then find someone to count their home addresses, and then send them home tomorrow afternoon."
Dai Li said according to the usual way of handling events.
"Okay, I understand. If there is anything related to the Aurora Society, remember to inform us and we will come to help." Ace Snake nodded. Asked casually:
"But can the monastery of the Church of the Night accommodate so many people?"
Because she was used to Storm Channel's low emotional intelligence and straightforward style, Dai Li didn't care too much for the sake of the archbishop. She just said softly:
"Our church previously developed the director of Backlund Technical University, now Miskatonic University, as an informant."
"He is a 'generalist' and a true aristocrat. At the same time, he personally believes in the goddess of the night, and is now also keen on donating money to the church."
"Not long ago, he also contributed to the monastery of the Church of the Night invested and built by Earl Hall. So, Your Excellency, Archbishop, you don't have to worry about our problems."
"After that, well, we will find some carriages to take them back. After everything settles, we will definitely share the intelligence with the Church of Storms."
"Okay, I understand. Then I'll leave the affairs of these girls to you. Remember to explain the situation to us when the time comes." Ace Snake thought for a moment and looked at Kapin who had some changes under his feet. , and asked the surrounding punishment agents to put it into a bag and prepare to take it back for investigation.
Ace Snake grabbed the two surviving Extraordinaries and flew quickly towards the Holy Wind Cathedral regardless of their struggles. Klein quietly watched the departing Saint and let out a sigh of relief.
The script for this scene, titled "The Death of Capin", has finally been finalized.
——
behind the scenes.
The night came to an end for the battle. With the efforts of the police who were called over and the night watchers of the Church of the Night, the flames were extinguished. These girls also got on the carriage and were taken to the monastery of the Church of the Night to prepare for rest. .
Klein stood on top of the ruins, the cold November wind blowing on his cheeks.
He pursed his lips slightly and couldn't help but let out a long breath when he looked at the girls whose faces were either a little happy or a little frightened.
An hour or two ago, Klein witnessed them being locked in a cage like animals. He sighed and prepared to go back to rest after finishing things here.
In this era where even the rulers can't believe it, fortunately there are these real "guardians"...
Klein gently rubbed the dark holy symbol on his chest, feeling inexplicably emotional.
