mechanical court

While speaking, he walked towards the gate on his own, and when he passed the young priest, he paused:

"The reason why I told you this is because you belong to the high-level priests. Sooner or later you will know the truth, and I can use you. But before you get permission, you must strictly keep the secret and never tell others. Once the news leaks , causing mass panic, I’m afraid your life won’t be enough to fill it.”

"As ordered!"

Tuze trembled all over his body, as if a chill went straight to the bottom of his heart, and immediately covered his mouth.

Chapter 69 The Phantom in the Fog ([-])

After leaving the abandoned mansion of the Ralph family, Ivan and Tuze came to the local security station. After arranging a search, they learned that Ralph and his wife Clara had left Pushu Town almost a week ago.

Witnesses said they were in a hurry and seemed to be in a hurry.

According to the clues obtained so far, it should be that the fear beast hijacked his former family members and used this as a cover to quietly leave Pushu Town.

But Ivan knew that she hadn't left, at least not far away. The nightmare aura was always lingering in this small town, and its influence was getting stronger and stronger, and it would even change the environment here in the near future.

It is clear that there is a fear beast here, but it is impossible to accurately capture its location. This is the first time that this has happened to him.

However, it was a good thing that the fear beast did not come, to some extent.

Yiwen asked the temple side to secretly send someone to seek support, and lived alone in the hotel in the small town, planning to just sit back and wait to spend time with the other party.Since she has been reluctant to leave for so long, the other party must have her purpose, so it will save him from chasing after her everywhere.

……

Watching the setting sun slowly fall into the distant trees, Ivan sat alone on the balcony of the hotel, drinking beer, and watching the pedestrians walking back and forth on the street, his heart was full of anxiety.

The small town residents on the street are in a hurry, without any sense of imminent disaster. They are still working hard day and night to make a living. Only a very small number of people feel that something is wrong:

The apparently strong city wall suddenly became thicker, and the normally aloof priests began to go door-to-door to ask for warmth. The number of inspections by the city defense army became more and more frequent, and the night curfew time was also greatly advanced.A group of outsiders who stayed at home gradually gathered in the hotel, and there seemed to be more beggars wandering around in the streets and alleys, and the interrogation between various checkpoints became unprecedentedly strict.

The official statement was to strictly investigate smuggling, and ordinary residents were only a little depressed, but some well-informed people still sensed that something was wrong, and they all evacuated Pushu Town ahead of schedule.

……

In the somewhat cool air, Ivan returned to the room, sat alone by the window, and while wiping the weapons he carried, watched the gray morning mist pervade the surrounding forest dwellings, feeling an inexplicable sense of tension in his heart.

All this looked like the eve of the storm. It seemed calm, but the air pressure was getting higher and higher. The wind and clouds above the head were fusing, and it felt like a thunderstorm-like catastrophe would strike this border city at any moment.

dong dong dong——!

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"who is it?"

He put down his saber, which had been coated with anti-rust oil.

"It's me, Tuze!"

The priest outside the door lowered his voice, as if afraid of being heard by others, he whispered.

"Damn!"

Ivan immediately frowned, cursed secretly, walked over and opened the door, and when the other party rushed in like a frightened monkey, he immediately closed and locked the door again.

"Didn't I tell you not to act alone! Is there anything you can't tell your subordinates to pass on!?"

"It's important, Your Majesty!"

Tuze swallowed, and suddenly his eyes widened, like two round copper bells: "A group of people in the town seem to have noticed something recently and left secretly. I have reported this to you, right?" ?”

"It's true."

Ivan turned around and returned to the bed, sat down gently, and re-sheathed the saber after maintenance:

"At that time, I asked you to put martial law in the whole city under the banner of thoroughly investigating smuggling. At the same time, the exits are wide and the entry is strict. Don't make people panic. Those who want to leave should let them go... What went wrong?"

"We did exactly that."

The priest lowered his head slightly, and his face was instantly immersed in darkness: "But these people have disappeared since they left the town... At least most of them are missing."

"How come there is no whereabouts!?"

Yiwen stood up suddenly, walked straight to the other party, and asked in a low voice: "Didn't all the demon hunters I found come in intact? Why did the ones who left the town disappear?"

"Of course I am aware of this matter... I also learned through them that those people have disappeared!"

Tuze tried his best to keep calm, but those flickering pupils still revealed the fear in his heart: "But since yesterday, no demon hunter, or priests from other temples have arrived in the town."

Boom--!

Suddenly, a ferocious and dull thunder sounded from afar. The two looked out the window. The sky was still bright, but black clouds like a curtain had already been pulled up from the sky, rolling over slowly.

"This is not normal..."

Ivan shook his head, muttered to himself and walked to the balcony, looking at the dark clouds that filled the air, he was shocked all of a sudden:

"They're casting a net!"

"You mean—they!?"

The priest gasped, his face turned pale.

The rain began to fall from the sky, and the pedestrians screamed to avoid the rain, and the shoes were wet from the splash of water as they rushed.

"Blocking an area without us knowing it, this matter can never be done by a single fear beast!"

Ivan turned to look at him, his pupils suddenly shrank to a point, and his eyes were as sharp as lightning:

"This is the signal of a full-scale counterattack by the Horror Beast. The enemy we will face will not be a Horror Beast, but an assembled nightmare army!"

"..."

Tuze's eyes instantly became hollow and lifeless, as if his soul had escaped from his body, and his body collapsed limply on the floor like a deflated ball.

Pat-pat-pat--!

Just at this time, the rain was getting heavier, and it flew over like bullets, hitting him with a cold face, and raised his face as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Your Majesty, you must have a solution!?"

The priest's trembling voice broke the silence, and he looked at the other party with a hopeful look.

The person on the opposite side is the judge who hunted and killed countless fear beasts, and is the natural enemy of demons!If it is him, there must be a way, even in the face of hordes of fear beasts, he will definitely be able to win as always!

"..."

Ivan walked up to him silently, helped him up, showed confident eyes, and said loudly:
