From Prisoner to Si Chen

Gillan stood on the side of the road on the outskirts of Cockburn, looking at more and more red-skinned devils hovering among the buildings in the distance, his face gloomy.

A red mist seemed to hang over the city.

The imperial soldier in charge of the driver sat in the driver's seat without squinting or asking questions, quietly waiting for the commander's instructions.

Jilan stared into the distance, expressionlessly took out the alchemy hotline from his arms, and called the headquarters of the mysterious investigation committee directly.

Almost as soon as I called, the call was connected.

It seems that Maiev carries the committee hotline with her and is always ready to answer it.

"Sir Gillan, this is Maiev."

"Maev, there's an accident in Cockburn City."

Jilan said solemnly.

"The 'Eclipse Society' took action. They opened the door between the world and hell through dreams, and released the devil's army... Now the entire city of Cockburn is occupied by devils and is in chaos."

"?!"

Maiev on the other end of the phone exclaimed.

Obviously she also knew how serious this matter was.

At this time, there was a sound of breaking through the air above Jilan's head.

A red-skinned devil with a ferocious smile flapped its bat wings and descended from the sky holding a scimitar. It seems that he regards Jilan as prey and intends to invade his body, play with him until he dies and devour his soul.

However, Jilan didn't even raise his eyes and waved his hand.

Bang! !

Silver arcs of lightning shot out, and with a muffled sound, the attacking devil instantly decomposed and reconstructed into a glass bead, which Jilan put into his pocket.

He turned around and said calmly into the microphone:

"Mavey, give me the order to immediately ask the committee to send manpower, and arrange for four teams from the Machinery Union, the Chamber of Commerce, the Atonement Church, and the Holy Mother Church to set off immediately and rush to Cockburn City for support."

"Yes, sir!" Maiev responded solemnly.

Click.

The hotline hung up, and Gilan ordered the armored vehicle driver to return to the military area on his own, but he dodged and disappeared in an instant.

…

…

Gillan was heading towards the center of Cockburn.

Along the way, he saw scenes of great chaos.

Carriages and carriages were blocked on the road crookedly, and some tilted, overturned, and even crashed into shops on the roadside.

Glass shards were mixed with blood, the wall was broken, and dust and stones were everywhere. At first glance, the floor was littered with lone leather shoes and paper bags of garbage.

There were also broken limbs and crooked corpses.

Many survivors were running wildly on the streets, waving their arms as if to drive away something invisible, and screaming hoarsely.

Gillan passed by an overturned car, and with a casual glance, he saw through the glass a gentleman's body twisted and curled up in the driver's seat, with a horrified face, as if he had been dead for a long time.

And his soul has been eaten by the devil.

Ji Lan's eyes were cold, he raised his hand and summoned the black cane, flicking it gently.

jingle!

The bell tied to the top of the stick swayed, making a crisp sound that penetrated the entire street.

The dozens of devils wandering around and wreaking havoc here all heard the bell. They were stunned for a moment, and then were shocked to find that their bodies were being pulled uncontrollably.

It was as if there was an invisible force pulling them forcefully, and the apostle dragged them to a place.

"Damn it!"

"What?!"

"Let me go!!"

However, the devils' struggles and roars were in vain, and they were soon forcibly dragged into Gillan's spiritual kingdom.

The Mad King, who had been waiting in front of the Heart Tower, flicked his cloak, and countless blood feathers passed over them like a rain of blades, tearing them into pieces.

In reality, Gillan held the staff in one hand and raised it in the other.

Dozens of glass beads appeared out of thin air in his palm, and he put them all into his pocket.

These pure soul energies decomposed and reconstructed by devils can be used as the core refining materials of the "Philosopher's Stone", and can also be corrupted into mysterious points at any time.

Good stuff for Gillan.

He continued to march forward, and when he saw ordinary people being attacked, he would lend a helping hand and take advantage of the situation to rescue them.

Any demon passing by will be captured by the bell tied to his cane, dragged into the spiritual kingdom, destroyed, and then refined into glass beads and stored.

Gilan seems to have become a humanoid self-propelled vacuum cleaner. Wherever he goes, the devils will be sucked up and decomposed.

Those devils who were carnivaling and wreaking havoc were more fragile than ants in front of him, and would die at the touch of a touch.

jingle……

Gilan shook her cane gently, rang the bell, and walked calmly through the apocalyptic streets.

One after another, the red-skinned devils struggled and roared while being dragged into the invisible place uncontrollably.

'The "Eclipse Society" has been planning for a long time. This time it chooses to attack Coburn, probably because it intends to destroy this place...'

The further Gilan walked toward the city, the more dilapidated the scenes he saw, and the number of people's corpses increased.

There are countless bloody and miserable scenes, which can be called a hell on earth.

He frowned, thinking in his mind.

'If the rapidly deteriorating situation is not curbed in time, there will be a steady stream of devils coming from the doors they opened to wreak havoc in the world... There is no need to wait for the mortals of Cockburn to die, those devils have already flowed to surrounding towns. , continue to cause disaster. ’

‘It’s like a viral plague, until it turns the entire empire upside down! ’

'And this is also the purpose of the "Eclipse Meeting". ’

Gillan suddenly stopped.

There was no one on the silent and desolate dilapidated streets.

He suddenly noticed something, slowly raised his head and looked at the sky.

It's almost ten o'clock in the morning, the sun has risen in the sky, but the sky is getting darker and darker.

A dark circle covers one-third of the sun, like erosion and infection, blocking most of the light, gradually forming a solar eclipse.

When Jilan saw this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He had an extremely uneasy feeling.

This wave of demons set off by the "Solar Eclipse Society" seems to be more than just invading the empire, and may have a more profound mysterious influence.

‘The local police station and army in Cockburn are of no help in facing this mysterious disaster. After all, the police and soldiers are just ordinary people with guns... If they were possessed by the devil, there would be even more tragic casualties. ’

‘I hope the occultists in the military region can hold on. ’

Ji Lan withdrew his gaze and thought about countermeasures.

At present, support from the committee is still on the way, and he can only do his best to delay the deterioration of the situation.

After all, a person's power is still limited.

'Cockburn's church armed forces have mysterious power and should be able to barely withstand the attacks of the devil, such as the Church of Dawn, the Church of Atonement, and the Church of Our Lady... Although we don't expect them to fight their way out, they can still protect themselves and provide some protection. Innocent people. ’

‘There are also local secret societies. ’

Jilan thought to herself, took out the alchemy hotline, used the exclusive nameplate as a medium, put it close to it and called Ms. Crow.

After waiting for a while, with a click, the other end answered the phone, and a lady's solemn voice came:

"Mr. Gillan? I'm so sorry. I have something important to do now. Can we talk about it later..."

"Ms. Crow, I am currently in Cockburn City."

Gillan said directly.

There was a sound of surprise from the other end, and Ms. Crow said again:

"Mr. Gillan came to Cockburn City? Is it because of the mysterious disaster that is happening in the city?"

"It's just a coincidence." Ji Lan sighed. "I chased one of the chiefs of the 'Eclipse Society' here. As soon as I suppressed him, I discovered that a wave of demons had broken out here."

"Ms. Crow, I wonder if the Recording Committee can help the committee fight this disaster?"

"This..." Ms. Crow wanted to refuse, but she fell into deep thought.

If someone else asked for help, she would definitely ignore it.

How can their "recording meeting" counteract such a terrifying mysterious disaster? The most important thing is to escape from Cockburn as soon as possible.

But the identity of Gilan Ilos and the friendship between the two parties made Ms. Crow hesitate.

"The 'Recording Meeting' does not need to provide full assistance. It only needs to send a strong team to participate in the committee's actions."

Ji Lan seemed to have guessed the other party's concerns, so he lowered his demands and spoke bluntly.

"Now that Cockburn is in trouble, only by uniting the forces of all parties can we contain the situation faster, otherwise chaos will only spread to other areas."

"If the 'Record Society' is willing to help, I will reward you from the official position of the empire afterwards. Ms. Crow can regard this as an 'equivalent exchange' commission."

"Of course, I will also remember your friendship."

Hearing this, Ms. Crow no longer hesitated and agreed in a deep voice:

"Okay, I will dispatch some members to assist you, but the rest of the 'recording meeting' will leave Cockburn before noon. I hope Mr. Gillan can understand."

The reason why she agreed to Jilan's request for help was not the so-called entrustment reward, but the other party's last words.

Lady Crow knows very well that no amount of Caesars can compare to the friendship of Gilan Iros.

The other party is powerful and his status in the empire is getting higher and higher. The value of this friendship will only increase in the future.

"Then thank you Ms. Crow for your help."

Gillan said.

"After the 'Recording Conference' sends out the team, please ask them to rush to the Dawn Church in the city center first, and we will meet there."

"no problem."

After Ms. Crow finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Jilan put away the alchemy hotline and hurried towards the direction of Dawn Church.

More than twenty minutes later.

He came to a square, at the end of which stood a large gray stone church, with a statue of Omer's crucifixion and a cross above the four-column porch.

This is Cockburn's Cathedral of the Dawn.

There were a lot of debris and suitcases scattered around the square, and even some women's underwear and smelly socks were everywhere.

Apparently, a large number of local people came here to seek refuge.

Gillan unfolded his spiritual vision and scanned the interior of the cathedral.

The church became a sanctuary, with thousands of shocked people gathered.

There were people of both sexes, old and young, women holding their children, old people curled up on old newspapers to rest, men smoking cigarettes and walking around, crying and whispering one after another.

The seemingly huge church was already crowded.

Some priests and monks wearing white vestments were holding consecrated crosses, Bibles and bottles of holy water, guarding the double doors, waiting for the devils lingering in the air outside the church.
