There is no doubt that the drainage failure in West 2 District has puzzled many people. Of course, a group of people started to complain frantically.

Then some citizens gave feedback, saying that the pipes in their homes were being backed up by sewage, and some creepy things appeared, so they called the police.

The police discovered that there were eyeballs, flesh and blood with tentacles, teeth and other horrible things in the sewage poured out, and there was a bloody smell in the sewage, so they mobilized personnel to investigate the drainage system of West 2 District .

The results were extremely shocking. More than a hundred corpses were found in the drainage system of the West Second District. Most of the corpses were homeless. The most terrifying thing was that almost all of the corpses had missing organs.

The murderer used a long-abandoned storage room in the drainage system as a base camp. There were more than a dozen tall wooden shelves. Neat glass jars were placed on the shelves, filled with preservatives and classified into categories. Seventy pairs of eyeballs, fifty-five hearts, thirty-seven livers and other organs were placed.

However, the police only identified the murderer of all these horrors - a night watchman named Murtaugh - but failed to catch him.

This guy seemed to have predicted the police action. He left the house ten minutes before a large group of security guards armed to the teeth broke in. He left in a leisurely manner, as casually as if he went to the corner to buy a hot dog.

The security team even found a cup of steaming black coffee on his desk.

So far, this is just a perverted murder case, and it may involve something like a cult, but it will not attract special attention from the church or even the space.

But the problem is that the forensics department at the police station only discovered the problem three weeks after the incident:

Among the "collections" in Mr. Murtaugh's studio, one eyeball actually showed an activated state, growing long and short buds, and even something like a tentacle, which looked creepy.

More importantly, the shape of long and short tentacles growing around the eyeballs attracted the attention of the above, because according to the collected intelligence, similar mutant chaos monsters have appeared in places where chaos pollution has appeared.

The largest one has a diameter of thirty meters. It is a huge flesh ball suspended in the sky. Its surface is purple-black, and it is a geometric shape made up of large and small eyeballs. The tentacles are also of different lengths. There are rules.

The smallest one is about the size of a fist, with tentacles of varying lengths. It travels in the air like a jellyfish, constantly jetting forward.

Considering that the similarity between the two is more than 85%, and this is not a wilderness, but a giant city like Ansukka with a population of over million, once chaos pollution is not controlled in time, it will be like a severe infectious disease. , then the spread speed is extremely fast, the danger is extremely high, and the consequences are extremely terrifying.

Apart from anything else, the lessons learned from the past are clearly visible. Thirty-seven years ago, another giant city, Manhattan, with a population of 80 million, suffered a similar chaotic pollution, and its intensity quickly rose to Level 3.

After discovering this incident, the Church of the Four Seasons that ruled the area was horrified. In order to block the hole of Chaos pollution as quickly as possible, they did not hesitate to seek help from the Church of Order and dispatched 350,000 Holy See Knights and 7 million Kingdom troops. , and in the end it took a full five years to barely calm it down.

But despite this, according to the final statistics, its losses have reached 7 billion rand, and Manhattan, a city with a unique location, has completely become a restricted area. What makes the Church of the Four Seasons even more sad is that, coupled with the soldiers who went to support and lost in battle, of course As well as the citizens here, a full 43 million people eventually died from this pollution.

To the gods, worldly wealth is nothing, but the believers who died because of it are heartbroken. After all, those who can be sent to the battlefield to fight bravely for the gods are at least at the level of true believers.

After attracting the attention of the church, Murtaugh was quickly caught. However, after many verifications and tests, and even using divine power to conduct a thorough inspection, no trace of Chaos contamination was found on his body.

Under such circumstances, the investigators immediately took a deep breath and relaxed.

As a result, the Murtaugh incident that occurred in Ansukka no longer attracted local attention. After an investigation, the case was hastily closed, and only the motive of a cult alchemist was determined.

And Murtaugh is still a bit capable. During the period before he was waiting to be hanged, he successfully escaped from prison and ran away, and then he was continuously wanted.

Obviously, Noah Space is not satisfied with the investigation results of this chaos pollution incident. However, this kind of thing is separated by several layers. If we have to wait for Noah Space to put pressure on the God of Order and then pass it down layer by layer, then it will definitely It’s been a long time.

After all, the God of Order also has a certain degree of independence. If there is really evidence of chaos pollution in Noah's space, then this matter can definitely be handled immediately and vigorously, but the problem is that there is no evidence, so it will be difficult. Let the people below do their best.

However, the God of Order does have his own difficulties:

You know, the population of the God of Order is measured in "trillions", and various situations really arise in endlessly. If they really use "suspiciousness" as an excuse to let the people below them do things, then they will be able to do things 24 hours a day. It is not enough to troubleshoot suspected situations.

So Noah Space didn't say anything else and directly sent Fang Linyan and other space warriors who could directly command.

This may sound outrageous, but it's actually not surprising.

Take the history of China as an example. In the early to mid-Qing Dynasty, the emperor should have had great control over his ministers. Han ministers who wanted to call themselves slaves had to consider whether their status was sufficient.

However, when the Manchu emperor wanted to know the truth about something below, he would still bypass the feudal officials and send imperial envoys repeatedly. This is very illustrative.

Here, Noah's Space is like an emperor, the gods in the Hope Sector are like frontier officials, and Fang Linyan and other space warriors are like imperial envoys.

***

A group of people have discussed it before, what is the key point of this case?

Hands down, Murtaugh!

Once you find this person, the truth will almost come to light.

But this guy has been jailed for many days. Theoretically speaking, he can even be hundreds of millions of kilometers away now. Even if he is hidden in Ansukka, if he wants to escape in such a super city with a population of over 100 million, Looking for someone is also like looking for a needle in a haystack.

There is also a second key point, that is, the mutated eyeball. Whether it is a chaotic pollutant or not, Fang Linyan and others can see clearly with their own eyes.

The weirdest thing is that this thing has been burned.

After the forensics department at the police station came to this conclusion, they directly burned the object on the grounds that it was suspected of containing strong pathogenic factors. Then the section chief responsible for signing the signature encountered an accident two days later, and strong winds destroyed a piece of it. The light sign upstairs blew down and fell, hitting him just in time. The light sign was eleven meters long and seven meters wide. It fell from a height of forty meters. The fate of the unlucky section chief was naturally so tragic that he could not look straight at it.

In addition, after Murtaugh's "studio" in the drainage system was identified, it was also officially cited as a "strong pathogenic factor" and then was completely baptized and disinfected by flames. Fang Linyan and the others now want to go If we investigate, we will probably only find rats scurrying around and walls scorched black by the flames.

There is no doubt that Murtaugh's family must have suffered the same treatment, because there seems to be an invisible black hand behind the scenes trying to erase everything.

Fang Linyan and others were not surprised but happy about this, because they were not afraid of a culprit in this kind of thing, but they were afraid that there would be no trace, which would be tragic.

Just like Pangko in the previous incident, no matter how big your background is, can you be bigger than the church and its space?

No matter how well you cover it up, can you evade the various magical and secret techniques of the space warriors?

This time Goat even suggested that the church could be asked for help, but this proposal was immediately opposed by Omi, and her reason was very simple and direct:

"If the mastermind behind the scenes really exists, then he must be a high-ranking person with high authority and position. The person who can do this quietly has at least a 40% chance of being a senior member of the Ansukka Church!"

"At this time, people in the church don't even know what our group of people came to Ansuca for, so we are still in the dark, with almost no external interference. But once the matter is leaked, there is a 40% chance of winning the bid. , not only will it be difficult for the church to leverage, but it will also lead to a lot of resistance.”

After hearing this, the goat was speechless. After all, what Omi said was reasonable.

Xingyi said at this time:

"Actually, there is another clue that has not been mentioned, and that is Murtaugh's occupation. He is a night watchman."

After hearing what Xingyi said, Fang Linyan immediately cast an encouraging look.

And Xingyi continued:

"The night watchman is a profession unique to this star region. Because the power system of this world is different, there will also be some nocturnal evil creatures."

"To be more specific, these evil creatures, such as vampires, werewolves, etc., in a huge city with a total population of over 100 million, it is not uncommon for one to twenty people to die mysteriously every day and disappear. After the death of these unlucky people, It may also turn into a ghost, a ghost or something like that.”

"Therefore, someone needs to patrol the streets in certain dangerous areas every night in order to discover these safety hazards in advance, and then alert and notify special personnel to deal with them. This is the origin of the night watch."

"So, the night watchman is not actually an individual behavior. Just like the cleaners are under the supervision and arrangement of the Environmental Sanitation Bureau, the night watchman is actually under the jurisdiction of the Public Security Department and has its own office and even a union."

"Since Murtaugh became a night watchman, he must have colleagues, superiors, etc. It's impossible for these people to be silenced together, right?"

Fang Linyan gave a thumbs up:

"Well done, we'll go find them right away."

With the strength of Fang Linyan and his team at this time, it is really easy to find out what is going on, especially when the goat's charm has exceeded 100.

Soon, the Goat had obtained the corresponding information from the Night Watch Union. After all, when Murtaugh joined the union, he would fill out the corresponding form - of course, the more important thing is to pay a membership fee. If there are any problems in the future, the union will also Will stand up for it.

A gold rand immediately made the guy who managed the archives of the Night Watch Guild shut up, and then he provided any services to Fang Linyan and his party with a smile on his face.

Sure enough, no one thought to come here to track down clues about Murtaugh, so they successfully obtained Murtaugh's file records.

From the dates recorded above, it is not difficult to find that the form inside was filled out seven years ago. Even if Murtaugh predicted the subsequent situation and filled in some false information, there are many things that cannot be hidden. , such as handwriting.

Yes, after getting the form filled out by Murtaugh, the first impression given to people is that this man is highly educated.

In this world, a language similar to Latin is used as the lingua franca. The name Murtaugh filled in on the form is very smooth and beautiful, with graceful, rounded strokes and distinct alternations of thickness.

After asking someone about it, Goat learned that this is a type of writing called engravedcopies. In this world, because it was created by the previous Duke of Fatilenko, it is also called ducal style.

Fang Linyan casually pulled out several other files and compared them briefly, and immediately found that the calligraphy of the others was crooked and ugly, as if a dog was crawling.

But this is normal. Night watchmen are very hard working day and night, and they have to face dangers in the night and fog, but their salary is very average. Therefore, it is mostly done by people who are desperate or from the bottom of society. These people basically have no education, and they are pretty good at filling in the forms according to the requirements.

However, after having a reference, it becomes more and more obvious that Murtaugh's font is smooth and beautiful, and can be called a classic.

Next, Fang Linyan and the others visited some people one after another. Almost all of them had dealt with Motav, and they had even been on duty together at night. The impressions given by these night watchmen are almost the same:

Unkempt, vulgar, smelling of alcohol,

Basically over forty years old,

Speaks loudly and swears a lot.

However, from the descriptions of these people, Murtaugh's personal portrait was also established:

This is a man who looks a little gloomy even though he has a beard. He wears glasses on only one leg, and the other side is tied with a hemp rope.

This man spoke very softly and rarely argued with others, but once a blind fool tried to bully him, and he ended up being beaten until his mouth vomited blood and his teeth fell out.
