From Prisoner to Si Chen

Boom——

The roar of engines echoed through the streets.

A silver-gray car shuttled through the city streets of Triumph District at high speed, like a strong wind blowing by, attracting the side glances of pedestrians on the street.

Passers-by cursed and looked up, only to find that the silver car was wearing the official white-on-black license plate, and the characters ended with the unique "cross" of the Triumph Building.

The cursing voices gradually became quieter, and some people even stopped and made a cross-salute to the passing silver car from a distance.

The official vehicle in such a hurry must be because of some important matters...

Gillan, who was driving, had no expression on his face. He controlled the steering wheel with both hands and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

Some cars and carriages on the road were all overtaken by him nimbly, causing waves of exclamations.

With his extraordinary reaction speed, Gillan is not worried about any accidents. On the contrary, he also complained that the speed was too slow.

Just now in the apartment, he received a call from the mysterious investigation committee. The staff there sounded very urgent.

Fortunately, the other party spoke clearly and clearly conveyed Teacher Parra's order, asking him to rush to the Triumph Building immediately to take charge of the overall situation.

I couldn't explain the specific situation over the phone.

But Gillan also knew roughly what happened.

"The support from the major official forces within the empire was all intercepted and killed by mysterious forces..."

He squinted his eyes, thinking about countermeasures.

"The Machinery Union, the Redemption Church, the Chamber of Commerce, the Holy Mother Church...all, without exception, have suffered heavy losses and are seeking help from the Investigative Committee."

The reason why these forces sent their respective forces to the capital to assist the investigation committee was because of the intervention of Pala Celsus.

As early as more than ten days ago, Parra visited the top leaders of these forces one by one in order to cope with the changes that were likely to occur this month.

The "Eclipse Society" is already very dangerous and is plotting evil actions against the empire. And there are various signs that there is likely to be the intervention of a superior person behind this matter.

Therefore, Palla attaches great importance to it.

He was worried that the mysterious investigation committee alone would not be enough to deal with this incident, so he requested assistance from major forces in advance.

But I never thought that everyone's secret actions seemed to be accurately understood by the enemy. While personnel from all parties were still on their way to the capital, they were brutally intercepted and killed.

The situation was urgent now, and Ji Lan didn't care too much, so he had to drive the car at full speed, hoping to arrive at the Triumph Mansion as soon as possible.

Less than five minutes.

The silver car drove to the downstairs of the Triumph Building.

After getting off the bus, Gilan quickly walked into the building and took the elevator as quickly as possible to the 70th floor.

As soon as he arrived at the committee hall, he found that many people had gathered here.

There are no less than a hundred men and women, all wearing black uniforms, and they are all members of the mysterious investigation committee. Including the team leader level and even the special operations team (gravediggers) were also present.

This shows the urgency of this incident.

"Mr. Guillain Iros is here."

"Sir!"

"Sir Gillan!"

When the crowd saw the purple-eyed young man arriving, they all stood up, saluted, and greeted him respectfully.

Gillan has two identities outside the country. One is the Executive Minister of the Reich's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the other is the newly appointed Secretary-General of the House of Lords.

But here, he only has one identity, and that is the head of the special operations team of the mysterious investigation committee.

And he is the only student of Chairman Parra.

Can be called a successor.

In addition, his various deeds during this period made his reputation even higher and he was deeply respected by the committee members.

Everyone is respectfully addressed as "sir".

"Good morning everyone."

Jilan strode forward and nodded to the crowd.

He walked past the crowd with a calm expression and went straight to the high platform of the committee hall.

At this time, a tall woman who was standing on the side of the high platform hurriedly took two steps forward and came to Jilan's side.

It was Maiev Matillier who was wearing a black windbreaker and a single ponytail, looking like a royal lady.

"Mr. Gillan, this is a temporarily compiled intelligence document... In addition, Chairman Parra left due to urgent matters and cannot come back for the time being. He asked me to inform you that you will be fully responsible for presiding over the committee, and everything will be dominated by you. Don't worry too much." many."

Maiev handed over a stack of documents and whispered into Gilan's ear.

Gilan nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Thank you, Maiev."

"You're welcome, Chief Gillan."

Maiev winked at him and made a respectful cross-salute.

Ji Lan took the document and quickly flipped through it a few times, his expression becoming more solemn.

The whole committee hall was quite quiet.

No one whispered to each other inappropriately, and they all looked seriously at the purple-eyed young man who was flipping through documents on the stage.

The only sound in the room was the clatter of paper being turned.

After a few minutes.

Gilan put down the document, pulled the octagonal microphone on the podium in front of him, and said:

"Everyone, the chairman of the committee is out on urgent matters, so I will be in charge of this place for the time being..."

"Regarding the 'Emergency Response to the April Accident', everyone must have received relevant orders, but now there are accidents happening to the personnel of the Machinery Union, the Atonement Church, the Chamber of Commerce and the Holy Mother Church, and unknown forces attacked them on their way to the capital. , urgently need our support.”

"According to intelligence, all four forces have been subjected to malicious divination and positioning. Compared to the possibility of an 'inner ghost', I personally prefer the intervention of a superior person behind the other party."

"Sir Gillan."

At this time, a senior member of the special operations team who was sitting in the front row stood up.

This person was a burly man with a beard and sunglasses. His expression was serious and his brows were furrowed.

"I don't know what you base your speculation on... Sorry, I'm not questioning your judgment, but it involves the superiors, so we have to be extremely vigilant."

"The main body of this incident is the extreme esoteric 'Eclipse Society', and behind it is the evil god messenger 'Windmill Cat' Pal Solomon."

Gilan glanced at the burly man, supported his hands on the edge of the podium, and said lightly.

"And the earthly self of 'Windmill Cat' has been severely damaged by Chairman Pala and other imperial strongmen, and is temporarily unable to take action... But He still has an ally, a hell monarch named 'Spirit King'."

As he said, Gilan raised his hand.

A bone-carved Ouija board appeared out of thin air in his palm, attracting the attention of everyone present.

"This is a mysterious artifact called the 'Lothar Ouija Board', which has extremely strong divination abilities and was created by the 'Spirit King'."

"Captain Jilan, these alone are probably not enough to determine that the 'Spirit King' is behind the unknown forces, right?"

Another female senior executive of the special operations team stood up and said in a deep voice.

Jilan sighed.

He knocked on the documents on the table.

After being amplified by the octagonal microphone, Jilan's voice echoed in the committee hall:

"There are several important details in the intelligence received. The attacks suffered by the four forces are all related to death, illusions, drama and poetry... and these just correspond to the four ascenders under the seat of the 'Spirit King'."

"?!"

All the committee members present were shocked.

"Four ascenders descended to the earth?"

Obviously, facing such a terrifying enemy, everyone was under great pressure for a while, and their hearts were awed.

Even the five-level senior executives of the special operations team showed a very solemn expression.

Knock knock!

Jilan knocked on the table again, signaling silence.

When everyone's voices gradually died down, he said:

"I personally speculate that the other party's move to kill the four forces this time has two purposes."

"First, it is to weaken the overall strength of the mysterious side of the empire, so that the resistance of the "Eclipse Society" to the next action will be reduced."

"Second, it is very likely to deliberately attract our attention and attack from the east while making a feint to the west."

Jilan said, his tone heavier.

"The four forces came to assist the empire and asked us for help after being attacked. No matter what our position is, we have no reason to refuse."

"But rash actions are likely to fall into the enemy's trap."

"What the other party wants is probably to disperse the power of the mysterious investigation committee... and the "Eclipse Society" will take the opportunity to implement their unknown plan and strike the empire."

"Once there is a major change in the empire, it will inevitably affect the situation of the Buao War."

"So we must be extremely cautious..."

As Jilan's analysis became more and more in-depth, the committee members present were not stupid people, and they immediately understood the pros and cons.

One hair cannot be pulled, and the whole body will be moved!

The opponent's attack came without any warning, but it happened to be stuck at a critical point, and invisibly, the mysterious investigation committee was killed on the spot.

For a moment, the committee hall was silent.

Many people were already sweating, and they understood how serious the predicament was!

If they were not careful, I am afraid that all the members present would become sinners of the empire!

The calm and self-assured conversation of the purple-eyed young man on the stage, as well as his incisive analysis, also impressed everyone.

Unconsciously, everyone was more convinced that Chairman Pala handed over the command to Gillan Ilos not because of his student status.

But because of his ability and strength!

"Chief Gillan, how should we deal with it?"

The strong man asked earlier.

His tone became anxious:

"Can we only watch our allies being attacked without helping... Please give orders."

"Of course we need support."

Gillan glanced at the whole audience and said lightly.

"The Mechanic Union, the Church of Atonement, the Chamber of Commerce and the Church of the Holy Mother are important allies of the Empire. If we stand aside and watch, they will inevitably be disheartened and even become enemies, which is not worth the loss."

"But in order to avoid over-dispersing the power of the committee and giving the other party an opportunity to take advantage, I plan to send only two teams to support the Mechanic Union and the Chamber of Commerce respectively."

"Gures, Manning, the two of you lead your respective gravedigger teams and bring 30 committee members to support the Mechanic Union immediately."

"Beldych, Elona, ​​the two of you also lead your respective gravedigger teams and bring 30 committee members to support the Chamber of Commerce."

Gilan issued orders in an orderly manner.

The four special operations team leaders who were named were all 5th-level long-lived people. They stood up in unison and saluted to the platform.

Among them was the strong man.

But he frowned and hesitated:

"Captain Gilan, according to the regulations of the committee, the gravedigger team only acts against the "Nightmare Monument" and does not participate in other mysterious events...You are violating the rules by doing this."
