Alien paradise

At dusk, Sandra couldn't wait to arrive at the watchtower in the south of the city.

The guarding soldiers saluted her quickly.

"Sir! Why are you here?"

"Have you seen anyone go up there?" she asked calmly.

Since there are giant moonstone pillars under each watchtower, they are also the core device to prevent fog from invading the city, so there are about fifty city guards stationed beside the tower. Not only is it covered 24 hours a day, but checkpoints and guards are also installed on every street leading to the watchtower.

"Of course not. No one can enter the watchtower without your and the lord's handwriting." The soldier raised his head and held his chest high, his words full of pride in his duties.

"Good job, now I'm going up."

"Yes!" The soldier immediately opened the iron door at the entrance.

Sandela stepped onto the narrow circular staircase and climbed all the way up the tower. When she reached the top of the tower, a familiar figure appeared in front of her.

She couldn't even help but tremble.

It had nothing to do with emotions like fear or surprise. She couldn't explain why her body reacted like this, but the hairs on her arms stood up.

At just the first glance, she recognized the other person.

The masked man who stood in the ruins of Wangshui Villa and sneered at her was now standing in front of her.

But this time, with the help of the sunset on the beach, Sandra wanted to see more clearly.

Judging from the tight skin on his ears, he is quite young.

Unfortunately, he still wears that weird mask.

At this time the other party also turned around.

"I heard you wanted to see me."

There is no doubt that he and the leader of the Paradise Foundation are two different people. Although the latter is also very bold, he still maintains basic respect for himself. This person didn't... Sandra could hear that he was talking to her in a reciprocal manner, maybe... higher.

Sandra originally wanted to ask him how he got here without the guards' sight, but then she thought about it and threw this irrelevant question behind her. In short, there must be a major flaw in the watchtower's defense, so she decided to have soldiers guard the top of the tower for a long time.

"You were the one who led Stone Bradley to the beach to intercept the pirates."

Sandra herself didn't expect this to be the opening line. She always felt that sometimes her body reacted faster than her brain.

"good."

Chaoyang did not deny it.

There is no need to deny it now – it’s time for Paradise to surface.

"His sister was in urgent need of treatment, otherwise she would probably die if her condition worsened. Paradise felt his strong desire and therefore helped him."

"Then the burning of the Grand Theater, the attack on Wangshui Manor, the robbery of Gaotian Company's steam train, and the attack on the Black Steel Camp last night were all done by you guys?"

"Although there are some discrepancies in the details, it's okay if you think so." Chaoyang replied calmly.

"So all those people deserve to die? You are executing lynchings instead of the law!"

Sandra emphasized on the word law.

"There is no point in debating scriptures. If the law had been followed, the serial murders would still have not been solved. The chief of the north police station still takes pleasure in taking human lives; the leader of Black Steel, Abovich, is still a hidden cultist. The army is his best cover. Maybe one day, you can find a flaw in them, but soon you will die in this city of dirt, just like when you took office."

"What...what did you say?" She couldn't help but be stunned.

"See for yourself."

Chaoyang threw the unsigned letter to her.

The latter caught it, scanned it quickly, and the expression in his eyes changed, "Was this found in the Black Steel Building?"

"You reacted very quickly." Chaoyang nodded slightly, "My people also found many secret messages related to conspiracies and intrigues. Of course you can think that I forged them, or you can continue to hold on to the word "law" , but I don’t have that much time to cooperate with you. I thought you would focus on some more practical issues, such as the cult monster incident... If you plan to continue debating scriptures, then I will leave."

"Wait a minute!" Sandela subconsciously blurted out the words to save her, "When I came here, I also learned how Vance White died. People in the army said that the commander received a report at that time that a unit of The convoy returning from the Dulay Ring was attacked by mist spiders, and he immediately led the team there. Unfortunately, he was bitten by a spider during the chaos and died before returning to the city. The newspapers at the time did not report the incident in detail. Only in the internal files of the City Guards can we find out that the location of the commander's accident was at Lookout Hill."

This is new information. Chaoyang couldn't help but wonder, "What is a mist spider?"

Sandra didn't expect the other party to ask this question, and stayed for a while before explaining, "A kind of aberrant creature, which can grow up to two stories high, with legs like bamboo poles and a gray body. It is usually hidden deep in the mist. But sometimes they do come to the edge of the fog area and attack people passing by."

"Then it seems that the Mist Spider's attack on this convoy was no accident." He chuckled, "After all, the content of the letter was a full day in advance."

Sandra's expression was a little complicated.

She also thought about whether the other party had sneaked into the city guard's archives, found out Vance White's information, and then deliberately prepared such a letter with no beginning or end. But then she thought about it, if it was her, it would definitely be I will write both the first and last name. It is fake anyway, so why not make it more convincing?

But he just didn't do that.

What was taken out was just an old letter without a name on it.

If Vance White really died at the hands of Black Steel, the force behind this event would definitely make people shudder.

Even the lord, you have no idea about this.

In addition, there was one thing the other party said that she couldn't refute.

That is, the city guards did not really protect the citizens of this city.

Sandela took a deep breath and decided to temporarily move the law aside.

"According to reports from my men, Abvich left briefly and then returned to the Black Steel Building. However, some mercenaries at the camp also said that what they were waiting for at the gate was their boss's carriage. This matter has nothing to do with Paradise. Is it relevant?"

"I have no comment on this." Chaoyang replied bluntly.

She did not continue to ask, but asked the key question: "Then do you have evidence that Abvich is a cultist?"

"It originally existed, but it was unfortunately destroyed by the explosion."

"What's the meaning?"

"After my people sneaked into the building, they found a secret room in the study of the boss of Black Steel. In addition to finding a pile of confidential letters, they also found a small altar." Chaoyang roughly described what he saw at that time. , "I don't think normal people would put a watery brain in their room, right? It's a pity that he triggered the self-destruction mechanism when he left, and the person ran out from the escape tunnel, but the secret room was also bombed. It’s all gone.”

"Withered roses... human brains..." Sandra couldn't help but think of the "living people" whose brains had been removed in the deep wells of the camp.

"The other evidence is Abvich himself." Chaoyang added, "He did not die immediately after being hit by a fatal fire strike, but turned into a monster. In order to deal with this guy, we also sacrificed several people. . I don’t know if you and the lord will regard the monster’s remains as evidence, but if it is alive, it will definitely not be imprisoned.”
