Chapter 725 Behind the Door
Newland city-state Vinland

Night has fallen, the noisy chaos outside has already stopped, and the quiet night seems to have come.

The white-haired old man slowly walked up the stairs, and finally touched the cellar door above his head.

She slowly stretched out her hand, opened the lock of the cellar door with difficulty, and then pushed upward slightly.

squeak—

With a crisp sound, the cellar door was pushed open a small gap.

The old man stood on tiptoe and carefully looked out through the gap.

Then she seemed to froze for a moment.

"Grandma, what's wrong?"

The little girl in the cellar looked at the old man's sudden stop and asked with some doubts.

"it's okay no problem."

The old man shook her head lightly, but her gaze never left the opened gap.

A doll that looked like a puppet was lying on the ground, facing the opening of the door, with a blood-red eyeball wriggling in the wooden eye socket, watching her quietly.

Behind the doll, walls covered with twisted flesh, broken rocks, and moss attached to the rocks can be vaguely seen.

The old man took a deep breath, and slowly closed the cellar door under the gaze of the doll.

"Grandma, what's the matter?"

The little girl came over suspiciously, lying on the bottom of the stairs, her eyes widened, and she looked at the grandma who was obviously in a state of confusion.

"it's okay no problem,"

The old man took a deep breath and rubbed his eyes, "I'm getting older, my eyes are a little blurry."

She looked up at the cellar door above her head, then slowly stretched out her hand again, and carefully pushed open the door.

This time, what caught her eyes was the even moonlight spreading on the floor, and the old furniture stood there quietly like countless days in the past.

The old man glanced ahead, the living room was quiet, and the door was closed tightly. Those crazy bandits didn't seem to attack their home that had nothing left.

She pushed open the cellar door with difficulty, then turned around, stretched out her hand downwards, and motioned for the little girl to come up.

The little girl also climbed up quickly, and took grandma's hand to climb out of the cellar.

"You take care of the cellar door, grandma will go and see if there is anything missing."

The old man let go of his granddaughter's hand, instructed softly, then turned around and walked towards the cabinet.

"Uh-huh!"

The little girl nodded.

She watched the back of the old man staggering up, and with difficulty closed the cellar door back.

Then she turned her head and glanced at the empty living room, thought for a while, ran to the door, and opened the door.

"what!!!"

A scream suddenly sounded.

"what happened?"

The old man who was rummaging through things was suddenly attracted by her granddaughter's voice, she staggered over, stood behind her granddaughter, and saw a pool of blood in front of the open door.

"it's okay no problem."

The old man stretched out one hand to cover his granddaughter's eyes, and then held the door with the other hand to close it.

"grandmother!"

At this time, the little girl's slightly surprised cry suddenly sounded.

She held grandma's hand with her two little hands, exposed her little eyes from under grandma's hand, and looked at the doorknob of the door.

There, hanging a straw talisman, was gently swaying in the night wind.

-

core island

"Chaos swept across the entire city-state. A large number of criminals in collusion with West attacked all places indiscriminately, causing violence and robbery. A large number of city-state citizens were attacked in this chaos."

The young man in a black knitted jacket put the documents on the table angrily, and looked up at He Ao who was sitting across the table,
"Mr. Hao Yi, we are very grateful for your assistance. Without your help, I don't know how many people will die in this man-made disaster this time. The headquarters has sent a message and they have prepared a copy for you. The list of extraordinary items, I hope to express my gratitude to you."

"Don't think about this for the time being. The Church of Chaos has not been completely settled yet, and the dust has not settled yet,"

He Ao smiled and put down the coins he was playing with, and looked up at the young man, "Can you show me the investigation data about these chaotic believers?"

What sat here was not He Ao's body, but his avatar. After placing the rescued hostages, he and the avatar exchanged their identities back in a compartment of the Verola.

Of course, his avatar did not hide in the Verola all the time, but stayed on Vinland Island with the identity of Renke, and dealt with some villains sent by West to draw fire on him by the way. Until the matter was about to end, he entered the Verola and changed his identity back.

After the exchange of identities, He Ao's body immediately returned to Ruo Dan on the Verola.

"what?"

Hearing He Ao's words, the young man was taken aback.

"Your people should have searched West's home, including the left and right missionaries who have a deeper connection with West. You should have followed the clues to investigate? Even if there is no clear result from these materials, you have done so for so many years. , Hasn’t West, the uncontrolled 'responsible person', been investigated?"

Ho looked at him with a smile.

The young man in front of him is named Kodo, and he is West's theoretical deputy, an extraordinary person sent by the Moonlight Headquarters to Newland to monitor West.

Although he had long been excluded by West, after West's death, he naturally became the person in charge of Moonlight in Newland.

"She was timid, she said a lot of beautiful words, but in the end she didn't even want to give any information, right?"

There was a muffled cold snort from the side.

Kodo looked at He Ao, where a woman in a red skirt wearing a broad coat and bloodstained was sitting there, gnawing on a big chicken leg, and answering vaguely.

This is Wu Lan.

She ate a piece of canned meat to recover from her injuries, and the price was that she was so hungry that she had to find something to eat during the meeting, just the cold snort when eating, which didn't seem to be able to express that kind of seriousness Emotions.

Especially when it's chewing like a squirrel with a pine cone in its mouth.

Of course, her dissatisfaction was conveyed to Kodo's ears.

Kodo's complexion changed a bit, and he finally chose to tell the truth, "Our people are still investigating, and my authority is not very capable..."

"We can make decisions."

A gentle, slightly magnetic female voice sounded slowly along with the sound of the office door being pushed open.

He Ao raised his head and looked towards the door of the office.

A tall figure holding a document came into his eyes, this is a lady with a typical Tia face.

She was wearing a white coat similar to a lab coat, and she wore thin silver-gray glasses. Her long gray-gold hair was casually coiled behind her head, and was held in place by a silver hairpin. A shirt and a crisp skirt. Below the edge of the skirt are tight calves wrapped in silver-gray stockings and light white stiletto high-heeled shoes.

He Ao actually met this person at noon.

She is the person in charge of Moonlight in Velen City, which is closest to the city-state of Newland, and her name is Fei Ya.

At noon, she received Kodo's request for help, and she brought some extraordinary people to support Nurem directly by helicopter, just in time for the scene where He Ao killed West.

Overall, the first impression she gives is more of a researcher than a leader of an extraordinary organization.

"Fia?"

At this time, Kodo also raised his head and looked at Fei Ya with some doubts.

Fei Ya is not the person in charge of Newland's side, and she has no interest in the affairs here. After coming to support, after a brief exchange with He Ao, she took over the matter of arranging the captured 'sacrifices' He ran away without a trace.

Kodo also seemed a little puzzled as to why she appeared here.

"Look at your phone, it's an order from the headquarters,"

Fei Ya sighed, "They asked me to temporarily take charge of the work here, and authorized us to take full responsibility."

"what?"

Kodo was taken aback for a moment, then got up as if he had been pardoned, and gave the main seat to Fei Ya, "I said that you can't escape, and you still have to bear this responsibility."

Fei Ya just sighed slightly, and quickly sat down on Kodo's original seat, which was opposite to He Ao.

She handed the document in her hand to He Ao, and said in a gentle and calm voice, "Mr. Hao Yi, this is the clues we have obtained so far from Wester's home, office and other places where he usually lives, as well as the suspected threats. A summary of the confessions of West’s henchmen, and a summary of our investigations of West over the years.”

"Thanks for your hard work."

He Ao took the information and simply flipped through it.

West did not find anything useful in his home and office, only some bonfire ornaments, and some paintings and artworks of flames.

And the confessions of those chaotic church believers are also very simple. The core personnel basically died in the sacrifice at noon, and the rest are some non-core personnel. They only know that they joined an organization with chaotic beliefs, and the leaders of the church Strong and somehow empowers them.

These people don't know the emblem of the God of Chaos, nor have they participated in West's kidnapping. They just act as thugs on the periphery, and they are also doing things to raise money for West through illegal means to support the operation of the church.

"After our investigation, there are a large number of flame-related items in the place where West often stays. We suspect that the chaotic church he believes in should have a certain degree of flame worship,"

While flipping through the materials, Fei Ya was also slowly summarizing the contents of these materials for He Ao,
"As a matter of fact, the sign of his flame worship only came after he returned from the ruins two years ago. During the opening of the ruins, he entered the ruins and was successfully promoted to C-level in the ruins.

"And that time the ruins made a huge difference to him.

"Before this, he had never shown much ambition, but after returning from that ruin, he unexpectedly actively participated in our affairs, and mediated before the moonlight and the city-state, for himself Obtained the identity of the person in charge of the city-state.

"And according to the confessions of the members of the outlying churches that he developed, this 'chaotic church' also appeared after that."

She looked at He Ao, and slowly concluded, "So we speculate that he might have obtained something in that ruin, and according to the entry records of the ruins at that time, after he returned from the ruins, all the supernatural items he acquired were It was handed in, and I didn't realize that there was an extra private possession... Moonlight is quite strict in this regard."

"I heard that you will strip and search everyone who comes back from the ruins?"

Wu Lan, who had finished eating the chicken leg, raised her head to look at Fei Ya, and asked softly.

"It's not that scary,"

Fei Ya shook her head, "We have a special prop that can detect the number of extraordinary items carried by an extraordinary person, but it requires a certain amount of cooperation."

"So you guess that West brought something out of the ruins, but it doesn't exist physically, but some kind of 'knowledge'?"

He Ao closed the document in his hand and asked in a low voice.

"These are the only things we can investigate at present."

Fia nodded.

"Are those extraordinary items that West brought out from the ruins still there? Can you show me?"

He Ao glanced down at the coin in his hand, and asked casually.

"It should still be there,"

Fei Ya nodded, "Let me apply for you."

"Thanks for your hard work,"

He Ao nodded slightly, then he stood up slowly, "If you find those extraordinary items, please contact me immediately, and what's more, I hope you know,"

He calmly looked at the woman in front of him, "Don't try to find the so-called secret of West's 'becoming stronger', and don't try to keep anything related to chaos, it will only pull you and the world into the abyss , the last person who tried to use the power of chaos, the residue left is still in the ruins."

Fiya looked at He Ao's calm face and was stunned for a moment.

For some reason, the scene of He Ao piercing the heart of the terrifying giant with a sword at noon flashed in her mind.

The sword light that seems to penetrate the sky and the earth, the small figure swinging the sword at the giant like a god, the power that easily destroys the "gift of the gods".

The gift of the gods is not omnipotent.

Such a powerful and terrifying power, together with 'Hao Yi', was like a brand, engraved into her heart.

She took a light breath, stood up, looked at He Ao, "I will convey your words to the headquarters."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Ho nodded.

Wu Lan at the side also got up slowly.

"By the way," Fiya looked at He Ao who was about to leave, and asked softly, "Have you been in Newland all this time? How should we contact you?"

"Just send me a message on the intelligence website you prepared for me. Any new information can be synchronized on it. Your boss will teach you how to operate it,"

He Ao said with a smile, "I won't stay in one place. I will send this Ms. Wu Lan back to the research institute later. Don't worry, I can come here anytime."

Xia Ye and the others left by plane in the afternoon, and only Wu Lan stayed here with He Ao, waiting for the preliminary investigation information.

"Oh, okay, I'll see you off."

At this time, Feiya seemed to be in a trance thinking of the Villora who had the props that could quickly travel through space.

Codo also followed.

It was not until the two sides walked out of the building that served as the temporary headquarters together that they bid farewell slowly.

Fei Ya and Ke Duo returned to the building, and He Ao took Wu Lan to board the Verola, which had returned from the West.

······
"Do you think there are deeper problems buried here in Newland?"

After the door of the Verola was slowly closed, Wu Lan turned her head and looked at He Ao with some doubts.

"At present, West obtained the gift of the evil god in the ruins, and then brought the tentacles of the evil god to the real world, which eventually led to today's situation. It is a basically self-consistent logical chain."

He Ao looked at the darkness gradually enveloping the car window, thoughtfully, "However, it may not be a complete logical chain."

"By the way," he then thought of something, turned his head to look at Wu Lan, "you suddenly asked this, what are you worried about?"

"what!"

Wu Lan was taken aback, then smiled awkwardly, "This time I suffered such a serious injury, I can't take the lead in rebuilding the Newland branch of the research institute, and the situation in Newland is a bit complicated, and there are many chaotic believers , At least a strong C-level is needed to solve all aspects of the problem."

Howo stood by, listening.

"After all, Newland is the territory of Moonlight, so our minister Yang De can't come here. Originally, we wanted our colleagues who are nearby to come here,"

Wu Lan watched He Ao's listening action, paused for a moment, and continued, "But another colleague volunteered to come over."

"It's Heo?"

He Ao answered the words calmly.

In fact, he knew it all. After all, when the Field Service Department held a meeting in the afternoon to decide who would come here, he was the protagonist.

But 'Hao Yi' shouldn't know.

"Yeah, you know him, he should be on the plane by now,"

Wu Lan nodded, "In principle, he is very strong and smart, and he is indeed more suitable for Newland's current situation, but..."

"Are you worried?"

He Ao asked in a low voice thoughtfully.

Wu Lan was silent for a moment, then suddenly said softly, "Can I tell him about the doubts you just mentioned?"

"of course."

Ho nodded.

There was once again a silent silence in the carriage.

After a while, there was a sound of unraveling some kind of entanglement in the silence.

Wu Lan took a folded long whip from her waist and handed it to He Ao, "This is the C-level extraordinary item I brought back from the ruins, if your guess is true, when the time comes you If you are in Newland, I can trouble you to save me..."

"If you're like this," He Ao looked at her with a smile, "Should I pay for you as a bait for going into danger before?"

"what?"

Wu Lan was taken aback for a moment, her head seemed to be in a daze, and she suddenly lost her voice.

"All right,"

He Ao shook his head with a smile, then blinked under Wu Lan's bewildered expression, "He's your friend, and he's also my friend."

"Well."

Wu Lan's eyes widened, she glanced at the long whip in her hand, and scratched her head in embarrassment.

Finally, she bowed her head and said softly,
"Thank you."

-

The stars and the misty sea of ​​clouds form one piece.

He Ao, who was sitting near the window of the plane, leaned on the chair, staring at the bright moon in the sky, and at the skyline where the clouds and stars meet.

Show a shallow smile.

　Calvin is a bit powerful, please ask for a ticket for Chaoda Zhang.
