From Prisoner to Si Chen

Yaz Moran's face changed slightly.

She wanted to deny it, but when she looked up and saw the pair of charming and deep purple eyes, she swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.

So the female shopkeeper winked at Gillan.

Then she shook her head and said:

"Sorry, sir, I haven't heard of the "Solidified Bookstore."

Gillan noticed Yaz's eyes and understood. The other party had actually acquiesced, and what he said was just for others to hear.

"Yeah." Gillan nodded.

He glanced at the man and woman behind Yaz and changed the subject:

"Currently, Coburn is in trouble, and I am here to rescue him on behalf of the imperial officials and the mysterious investigation committee. The follow-up support team is still on the way, but we are currently short of manpower. I wonder if you are willing to accept my recruitment?"

"Recruit?"

Everyone in the bookstore, including Yaz, was stunned.

Gillan nodded, turned around and said to the back:

"Mr. Cangsong."

A steady man who looked to be in his thirties came over. He was also wearing a suit and tie, a blue tie, and his hair was combed meticulously.

It was the "index finger" in the "Hand of Dawn", Franco Thurman.

He was sent by Ms. Crow to lead a team of "film critics" to support Gillan. After the two sides met at the Cathedral of Dawn, they set out together and passed by here.

"Ms. Yaz, I am Cangsong from the "Record Society" and the leader of this team."

Franco said in a deep voice.

"We will assist Mr. Gillan Ilos to fight against the mysterious disaster that is happening in Coburn."

Hearing this, everyone in the bookstore understood.

They have all heard of the "Record Society" and know that it is a secret society that believes in the "director" of the February Hour.

Obviously, they have agreed to the official recruitment and will help fight the disaster together.

"I promise you that the Empire will not liquidate your identities as mysterious people afterwards, but will give you corresponding rewards..."

Gilan put his hands on the top of the stick on the ground and spoke slowly.

"If you perform well, you will have the opportunity to officially join the Mysterious Investigation Committee."

Hearing this, everyone in the bookstore was delighted.

Not being liquidated and having the opportunity to join the official organization is a very good destination for lone mysterious people like them.

Except for the owner Yaz, the others were quite tempted.

"I'm sure you are all familiar with Mr. Gilan Ilos..."

The Stork said solemnly.

"He won't break his promise."

"Of course, we believe it!"

Langel was excited and excited.

They really knew a lot about the rumors about the Empire's Foreign Minister. This powerful big man has a high prestige and has never had a bad reputation.

The promise given by the other party at the moment also convinced everyone.

"I am willing to accept your recruitment, sir."

Yaz thought for a while and said.

"We are also willing to help."

The rest of the people also agreed.

If they don't join Gillan's team now, it will be difficult for them to escape from Coburn and they will be in danger at any time.

Might as well seize this opportunity.

Maybe, they can transform themselves from a mysterious person who is not allowed to see the light to an official investigation committee member afterwards.

Seeing that everyone in the bookstore did not refuse, Gillan smiled and nodded. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, perhaps, this is what Teacher Pala said... the power of fame?

…

…

With the addition of these people from the bookstore, the team's strength has been expanded.

Gillan led them through the city and wiped out all the demons along the way.

Of course, they almost didn't take action throughout the whole process, just watching, because there was no need at all.

Mr. Gillan, who was walking in the front, shook his cane, and the bell would capture all the wandering demons nearby.

Although he didn't know where they went, in the end, they would all turn into small glass balls decomposed and reconstructed by alchemy, and be put into Mr. Gillan's pocket.

Among them, there are also many hell nobles.

This terrible strength and means shocked everyone.

Perhaps this is the attitude that a strong man who has truly reached the peak of the mysterious realm should have?

Jilan led the team to the Church of Atonement and the Church of the Virgin Mary, helping these two temporary shelters to clear the demons gathered around them, relieving a lot of pressure on them.

Including the Cathedral of Dawn, these three churches have accommodated many refugees, adding up to tens of thousands of people. And this number is still increasing.

It was noon soon.

The sun was hanging in the sky.

Jilan looked up at the sky.

The gradually forming solar eclipse became more and more serious, and a round of scorching sun had been swallowed by darkness for nearly half of the area.

"Mr. Jilan, I have a very bad premonition."

Cang Stork stood beside him and looked up together, with a very solemn expression on his face.

Jilan nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:

"Well, me too."

As the solar eclipse gradually formed, his spiritual warnings became more and more frequent.

"The Eclipse Society deliberately set off this devil wave, it is impossible that it is just to invade the empire, there must be a conspiracy."

"Unfortunately, we still can't find the location of the dream gate... If the solar eclipse in the sky is completely formed, I am afraid something bad will happen."

Gilan thought for a while, turned around and walked to the group of lone mysterious people, and asked:

"Did you find anything special when you were hiding in the bookstore before?"

Looking at the puzzled expressions of the crowd, he added:

"I hunted demons all the way, but their number increased instead of decreasing...so we must find the source of the demons. If we can't destroy them, the situation will only get worse."

"Mr. Rangel has been out doing the most investigating, and he may know something."

Ms. Yaz thought for a while and said.

Rangel on the side was stunned at first, and when he saw Gilan's gaze, he became a little nervous.

After thinking carefully, Langer suddenly thought of something and said quickly:

"In the center of Cockburn, there is an area of ​​noble manors. I found that there are no devils there. I don't know if this is an abnormality."

Hearing this, Ji Lan looked thoughtful.

"Thank you for the information, Mr. Rangel."

He thought for a while and decided to go there and take a look.

At this moment, the alchemy hotline in his arms vibrated.

Gillan pulled out the hotline and answered it.

Click.

Maiev's voice came from the other end:

"Sir, the support team has arrived in Cockburn City. The transport plane has landed in the suburbs and is waiting for your instructions."

"Let them come to the city and gather at Dawn Cathedral."

Jilan said solemnly.

Maiev, who was in the Triumph Building in the capital, immediately agreed and immediately sent an urgent order to the support team.

…

…

An hour later.

Gillan led the team back to the Cathedral of the Dawn and met with the support sent by the committee.

More than a hundred elite people gathered in the square.

Half of them are committee members, led by five senior members of the special operations team, all of whom are fifth-level Kusai.

Aurora, the leader of the Holy Sisters, saw Gillan and Mr. Stork again, with a smile on her face.

But she didn't come forward to reminisce, after all, the occasion was not right.

"Gures, Manning, Berdych, Alona, ​​and Parado, the five of you will each lead a team and march toward the north and east of Cockburn to eliminate the devils along the way."

Jilan ordered to everyone on the committee.

He turned his head again and looked at the other assisting personnel.

"Miss Aurora, Mr. Franco, and Ms. Yaz, you three will work together to eliminate the devils in the west."

"Father Jennings, Mr. Neville, Miss Enna, you three will also act together and be responsible for heading south..."

Following his instructions, everyone looked serious and agreed one after another.

Jilan looked at the solar eclipse scene in the sky again and said in a deep voice:

"You don't have to force yourself, just do your best. The devils can't be killed until the gate of hell is closed."

"And I will go find the location of the door alone. Everyone try to buy me time."

"Yes, Mr. Gillan (sir)."

Everyone nodded.

Gilan took a deep breath and swung his cane.

The blood mist exploded and the cane disappeared without a trace.

And Gilan's image suddenly changed as the blood mist filled the air. I saw that he was covered in a set of extremely ferocious stone bone armor, with a wide scarlet cloak fluttering in the wind on his back.

boom!

A strong armored white sheep fell from the sky, and Gilan turned over and rode on it. The knight stepped into the void, leaving a series of green flame hoof prints and flying towards the distance.

"Leave now!"

Gillan's hoarse voice echoed over the square.

Everyone bowed in mid-air, and then dispersed in all directions with a tacit understanding.

A rescue operation personally presided over by Gillan was launched in the city of Cockburn.

As for himself, in the "Wang Lin" posture, he flew over the city on a feral sheep, heading towards the clues he had previously received from Rangel.

"Aristocratic manor area?"

Jilan murmured against the strong wind high in the sky.

"If it's not there, we can only do a blanket search. I hope it's not too late..."

At this time, the densely packed red-skinned devils noticed the knight running in the air and attacked him with strange smiles.

Jilan had no expression on his face, pulled the reins of the feral sheep, and charged forward at a faster speed.

boom--

The cloak behind him dances like a scarlet scimitar that can be transformed at will, tearing apart all the demons that approach.

At the same time, the silver arc continued to flash, and the killed devils were decomposed and reconstructed into glass beads, which were collected by Gillan.

Not long after.

Guillen found the area Rangel was talking about.

He looked down into the distance and saw that, as the other party said, there was almost no trace of the devil in the area full of green manors.

This aroused Gillan's suspicion even more.

"Go!" He swung the reins, and the feral sheep swung its hooves vigorously and fell at an extremely fast speed.

Buzz! !

Just after Gilan approached the manor area, he seemed to have passed through an invisible barrier, causing his vision to flicker.

Immediately——

"Ah ha ha ha!"

"Hahaha!!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"We have arrived at the delicious world of humanity!"

Ji Lan seemed to have entered an extremely noisy world, and his ears were filled with excitement.

What came into view was a huge whirlpool above the manor, from which red-skinned devils were flying out one after another.

Obviously what I saw in the distance before was all an illusion!

This is the source of the gate to hell!

It was just covered up by some means!

Suddenly, hundreds of demons noticed Ji Lan who had broken into the place, and they all cast malicious glances from mid-air.

"Intruder!"

"It's an intruder!!"
