The Master of the Strange Realm

Although he asked politely, his companions did not lower their guns at all.

"Since you have all overheard, don't ask me about my identity...and don't ask me about extraordinary creatures. I came to Nolan by train just two hours ago, specifically to get rid of this Bold guy, doesn’t know anything about what’s going on here.”

"So, you are of no use to us anymore?"

Mr. White Cat threatened.

"I have no grievances with the Nolan people. If I know anything related to that, I will definitely tell you. But the current situation is that I really don't know anything. I emphasize again that the only purpose of my coming here is Just get rid of him."

The man on the sofa pointed at Mr. Wilson, the ambassador who remained silent.

Seeing the unswerving expressions on the three people's faces, he immediately added:

"Although he is dead, it is impossible that none of those important documents and letters have been preserved. It just so happens that I also need to find a letter to take back. Why don't we find it together?"

"I can't let you go so easily, but you still want to leave? You have violated the laws of the Kingdom of Fidictry by killing people at will in your own country. Just wait to be sent to the police."

Mr. Hood said.

After controlling the man on the sofa, the three began to search the study. Although I did find a secret compartment behind the bookshelf, I didn't find any information related to alien species. If it weren't for what he overheard outside the door just now, Mr. White Cat almost thought he had recognized the wrong person.

But fortunately, I found something in the bedroom later. The bed was solid. After violently destroying the bedside table, I found a complicated mechanical mechanism. If this complex mechanism opening device is not handled properly, the contents inside will be immediately cut into irrecoverable shreds by the nearby knife, so it took a lot of effort to take out those letters.

Most of the letters were related to espionage activities. The three of them all understood a little about the contents, and then lamented that even a small principality had such complex activities. There are also communications with the aliens, including the threat from the tree house mentioned earlier.

It’s just that the ambassador’s wife and son were not coerced, but truly believed in the organization [Tree House], believing that they could correctly lead the future of the material world.

The action plan of the aliens the three were looking for was hidden in the middle of an ordinary envelope. Mr. White Cat was very good at handling such hidden documents, and he took out the piece of paper completely in just a few moments. .

"Let me see......"

Mr. Hood was the first to check the document and frowned as he looked at it:

"Mr. Candle's suspicion is right. In addition to connecting to the mysterious realm, they really have a second plan. Look here..."

Chapter 1386 Chapter 1363 Biogas Pool

Mr. Hood said, pointing out the contents on the paper to the two of them:

"If the door to the alien space cannot be opened through the silver key in the strange world, then change the plan to detonate the biogas pool underground in Nolan and use sacrifice to force open a door. Although this will not allow too many alien species to enter the material world, but it's still okay to cause an upheaval.

In this way, at least the deal reached between the aliens and [Tree House] was satisfied, and the ambassador could be considered to have completed his mission. As for the alien species, it seems that they can get compensation from [Tree House] afterwards... What kind of organization is this Tree House? "

Mr. Hood asked in confusion, and Jenkins, who knew the inside story, gave a brief introduction. After omitting the content related to becoming a god, Mr. Hood and Mr. White Cat still thought that the other party was a group of lunatics.

"But is there a digester underground in Nolan? Why have I never heard of it?"

Jenkins searched the memory of the original owner and asked again. This time it was Mr. White Cat who answered:

"There is indeed a place in the east of Nolan near the edge of the city and the mining area. It is very close to the Good Luck Steam Pipeline Company. The biogas digester there is used to supplement coal fuel. Although it was built more than ten years ago, it is not a city because it is not a city. Most people don’t know about this key facility, and there won’t be any news about it. If we want to cause the maximum number of deaths, it would be most appropriate to detonate the biogas digester there.”

Knowing their next destination, the three of them decided to set off immediately without further ado. But before leaving, they first knocked out the strange man who was under control, and then took him and the letters outside the courtyard. They randomly found a group of patrolling police officers, threw the people and letters into the street in front of them, and then immediately Walk towards the east part of the city.

It was three o'clock in the morning, and considering it was spring, there was probably only three hours until dawn. But the three men who had not slept all night were not tired at all, but rather excited, because all their hard work was useful, and they were only one step away from solving this matter.

Considering that the city is still under martial law, we took a short detour before arriving at our destination, arriving near Good Luck Steam Pipe Company. Because it was far away from the city, there were fewer police patrols.

Good Luck Steam Pipe Company is the second largest steam pipe company in Nolan. Its business includes but is not limited to pipe installation, door-to-door repairs and air supply and heating. Therefore, even at three o'clock in the morning, the chimney is still filled with black smoke, and the inside of the factory is still in full swing. .

But the factory area is not the destination of the three people. According to Mr. White Cat’s description, the biogas pool is in the hill to the north of the factory area and is connected to the factory through underground pipes. Before walking along the gravel road, he also reminded his friends:

"No matter what happens, never use flame-type abilities and spells, let alone abilities or spells that will cause great shock."

Both Mr. Hood and Jenkins understand his worry, but if a fight breaks out, their hands may be restrained.

The biogas pools are distributed in hills far away from residential areas. According to the content of the letter, the aliens plan to connect the external pipes of the biogas pools and nearby steam pipes, and use the mole bribed by Ambassador Corey Wilson with gold pounds to allow low-concentration The methane gas spreads into pipes throughout the city.

Then, through specific rituals and unstable additives of alchemy, the steam mixed with biogas was detonated, destroying at least one-third of the buildings in Nolan City.

This kind of action is no problem at least in principle. The difficulty lies in the fact that too many people are required to participate in order to mix a large amount of biogas into the city's steam pipes without being discovered by the [Church of Creation and Mechanism]. Therefore, the key point is how to start from the pipes near the biogas pool, which is why the three Jenkins came here.

"Although the letter states that the explosion will be detonated at dawn today, we cannot guarantee whether the other party will be punctual. I think they have probably taken action now. After all, the first plan involved a large number of church and police personnel in the city. For There should be less control over biogas digesters that are not taken seriously.”

Mr. Hood analyzed, then took out the scarecrow that had been reduced to the size of a key pendant, restored it to life-size, and picked it up. Mr. White Cat and Jenkins both approached him.

There is a simple stone brick house built by the pipeline company above the biogas digester, which serves as the daily residence for maintenance and management personnel in the hills. It was almost four o'clock when I saw the row of houses in the distance. Although the starry sky is still hanging high above our heads, the sky in the east has some signs of turning white.

The three of them quickened their pace, and Mr. White Cat once again used the ability to call shadows to obscure his figure. The cat, which had been sleeping in Jenkins's arms for a while, opened the buttons of his coat again and came out, yawned and climbed onto his shoulders, looking at the mountain scenery with interest.

"Wait a minute!"

Jenkins said suddenly, staring at the side of this wide gravel road.

"What's wrong, have you found the enemy?"

Mr. White Cat asked nervously.

"It's not an enemy, it's an acquaintance of ours. Please wait, we may have to take a detour."

Under the leadership of Jenkins, the three of them deviated from the road and entered the sparse jungle. After walking for two minutes, Jenkins suddenly turned toward the low slope on the side, and a country villa hidden on the dark side of the hill appeared in front of him.

Jenkins signaled Mr. Hood to take back his scarecrow and Mr. White Cat to also remove his abilities. Then he asked the two of them to stay outside. He opened the door to the yard and walked in, ringing the bell in front of the door.

It took a full five minutes for someone to open the door, and Miss Silver Flute's face appeared in front of Jenkins.

"Mr. Candle?"

The woman looked at the cat on his shoulder and shouted in surprise, then let him in in a panic, thinking that there was a new problem in the doomsday illusion in the city.

"It's not about the Doomsday Fantasy. Oh, Mr. White Cat and Mr. Hood are still waiting for me outside the yard. We are conducting an operation to save Nolan City. Do you want to participate? I don't think you will refuse, otherwise The one thing that gets blown up is your house."

It was a coincidence to meet Miss Yindi here. After listening to Jenkins' explanation, the other party also understood the danger of the situation. He simply put on his coat and blurred his face with a charm, then followed Jenkins out to meet Mr. Hood and Mr. White Cat.

In order to facilitate movement, the other two people did not wear masks or hoods, and both used rituals or spells to create fake faces. So the four of them could see each other's expressions at this time, which had never happened before.

Chapter 1387 Chapter 1364 Conch and Dragon

The mountain villa in front of me does not belong to Miss Yindi. This building belongs to her friend. It's just that the lady only lives here occasionally during the summer, so now only Miss Yindi lives in the house.

She also knew something about the situation nearby. After hearing that the three of them wanted to find the biogas tank on the sunny side of the hillside, she took the initiative to lead the way and took a shortcut to the factory area.

As soon as he saw the row of low warehouses in the distance, Mr. White Cat smelled the smell of blood in the air. Following the smell, a large number of human corpses were found in a nearby garbage pit where workers threw garbage.

Mr. Hood endured the stench and conducted an autopsy in the garbage pit, and determined that the time of death was within an hour, and the cause of death was that the heart was taken out by sharp claws or the throat was slit.

"It's basically certain that he was killed by a ghoul. Look at the mutilated body here. It's obviously the tooth marks of a humanoid creature."

He pulled the corpse with half of its right leg missing and wanted the other three to observe it, but the smell of the garbage pit and the miserable corpses were too shocking to their nerves, so no one else participated in Mr. Hood's autopsy. idea.

Needless to say, the identity of the corpse is naturally that of the workers who have been responsible for looking after and maintaining the biogas digester in the mountains all year round. After carefully counting the corpses, there were 34 corpses in total, which must be the total number of workers.

The four people arrived a step too late and failed to save them. If they were a step later, they might not even be able to save Nolan.

He hurriedly walked from the garbage pit to the factory area. It was easy to find blood stains on the ground that had not yet dried and scattered human organs. However, the aliens were not here. Through Jenkins' observation, he saw three Crazy Demons and Five ghouls are in the operation room of the factory area, which is the factory building with various dashboards.

The four of them were ready, and then they rushed in together. The aliens who didn't know what they were doing didn't expect that at this time, there would be a surprise attack in the remote countryside, and the extremely high concentration of high-temperature steam permeating the workshop also blocked their sight.

He was caught off guard and attacked by four humans, and three of them were killed in one encounter.

The other two frenzied demons and three ghouls immediately turned around to face the enemy, with only one still parked in the pipe room inside the workshop. By the time the four of them had overcome the blocking enemies and entered the workshop, the only ghoul had already committed suicide by slapping his own head.

There is an empty cardboard box next to its body. After picking it up, put it in front of your nose and smell it. You can smell the smell of gunpowder.

The pipe next to it was spitting out white gas, so it was inferred that the pipe was a steam pipe.

"what's the situation?"

Mr. Hood asked doubtfully.

None of the four people here have any experience in repairing pipes, so they don’t know what the other party did after all the trouble. Finally, under the guidance of White Cat Vanilla, Jenkins discovered some red traces on the wall. Mr. White Cat dipped his finger into it and then sniffed it, concluding that it was specially treated alchemical black gunpowder, which belongs to that kind. One ounce (about 28.35g) can fry a whole street.

With the cooperation of the cat, everyone found more similar traces between the pipes. The last trace was at the mouth of a pipe. Later, in conjunction with Miss Yindi's ceremony, the trace of the pipe that had obviously been opened was restored, and it was found that someone rushed gas through the exhaust valve.

"Gaseous alchemical black gunpowder, I think it's this. I've seen it before."

Mr. White Cat said very firmly, and then told everyone his conclusion:

"Before dawn has come, quickly notify relatives and friends to pick up your luggage and leave this city. There is no hope here."

Mr. White Cat came to a rather pessimistic conclusion and showed that he wanted to turn around and run away now.

Of course the other three people would not immediately believe such a result, but unfortunately Mr. White Cat's investigation conclusion was correct. Someone really transported the gaseous alchemical black powder and the steam mixed with a trace amount of biogas to Nolan's house. underground.

"Unless we can reverse time, this process is completely irreversible. As we speak, those gases must have passed through the underground of the city. In conjunction with the ceremony that is not known where, these low-concentration explosives can be detonated Half a city."

Mr. White Cat is very pessimistic.

"Can't we find and stop the detonation ritual? The concentration of the biogas and alchemical black powder is very low. Without the guidance of the occult ritual, the explosion will not occur."

Miss Yindi asked.

"But the problem is that we don't know where the detonation ceremony will be held. There is not much time left before dawn. Even if we find the place now, there is still a problem whether we can arrive in time. Moreover, if we choose to notify the church, there will be a delay Not to mention the time, a large-scale search will alert the enemy and force the opponent to detonate in advance. "

Mr. White Cat replied that Mr. Hood was unwilling to end up with this outcome. His current mood was probably similar to that of Jenkins. Both of them had special feelings for this city:

"Is there really nothing you can do? Speaking of which, Mr. White Cat, I remember you said you had a batch of magical conches in your hands..."

That batch of conchs was collected by Mr. White Cat from a fisherman at a low price. The lucky fisherman encountered a storm at sea, survived, drifted to an isolated island, and found the buried treasure. But the treasure contained a batch of conches. He lamented his luck and insisted on letting the rescue boat take the conchs with him. After landing, he sold them to Mr. White Cat who happened to be working at the dock.

"Yes, I do have the magic conch!"

Mr. White Cat then remembered this, but unfortunately, when he was accidentally led into a strange situation, his backpack was unfortunately lost. Except for the three that I carried with me in my pocket, the others were probably lost in the cracks of space. But Mr. White Cat is an optimistic person. After all, these conches didn’t cost much.

He picked up the conch and wanted to put it to his mouth to ask, but suddenly an explosive roar exploded from above his head, which scared Mr. White Cat and threw the conch to the ground. Then the ceiling above everyone's heads was torn down, allowing the strong wind caused by the flapping of the dragon's wings to flow into the factory.

Looking up at the sky, a huge red dragon was flying in the sky, and a woman could be vaguely seen on its back.

There's only one dragon that exists in Nolan City, so of course this is Miss Knight's arrival.

Her original target should also be those alien monsters, so after lifting the roof and seeing four humans standing there, she did not launch the next round of attacks, but watched vigilantly from the air.

Looking at the dragon above their heads, the four people below didn't know what to do for a moment.

Chapter 1388 Chapter 1365 The Saviors

The rising steam, mixed with the smell of blood, floated upward from the factory. Among the steaming pipes and dashboards, when she saw people from the Zhengshen Church arriving, Mr. Hood broke the deadlock, took the initiative to call her down, and then told her what happened here.

Miss Knight believed it immediately, because she came here because the man and the letter thrown into the street by Jenkins and the other two had been found by the church, and therefore understood everything that happened tonight.

"Thank you for your contribution... There are more than one biogas pools around Nolan. Because they were worried about alerting the other party and implementing the plan in advance, the church did not take large-scale actions. I am a fast person, so I came to this most remote biogas pool first. Are you sure that the other party used gaseous alchemical black gunpowder?"

Because the situation was urgent, she did not bother about the identities of the four people with suspicious origins. After understanding the current situation, she knew that if no action was taken, Nolan City might suffer the most terrible disaster since last year.

"I will immediately pass the information here to the church. There will always be a way."

She said to herself, drew out the sword at her waist that was more decorative than practical, and drew a circle on the ground. This is actually a ritual sword, a unique divine tool of the [Church of War and Victory].

It is impossible to identify the mystical meaning of the symbol she drew on the ground, but when the woman threw the note on the rune, the note burned automatically.

After a while, the burning ashes rose up to the sky again as if time and space were reversed and pieced together into a carbonized black thin paper, on which was the news from the church.

"No problem, the church already knows what happened here and has found a way to deal with it. I would like to thank you all again for your contribution to Nolan. I wonder if you have time to go to the nearest astrologers' church with me. We need to get some more detailed information."

Miss Knight asked, pausing on the white cat on Jenkins' shoulder, and then looking at the four people in turn. The dragon has landed in the yard, and it can be vaguely seen standing there observing the surroundings through the steam.

"No, no, it's too late... too early, we have to rush back to have breakfast, so we don't need to go to the church."

The four people shook their heads quickly. They all had their own reasons for not contacting the church. But Mr. Hood still had some doubts, so he asked about the church's response strategy. In his opinion, it would be impossible to find the ceremony site before dawn without launching a large-scale search.

"It's very simple. The local [Church of Death and the End] has a Class B supernatural item numbered B-12-2-8332, named [Explosion Accumulation Expert]. It is a metal puppet of unknown material, about the size of a palm. As long as it is not in a special sealed state, it will automatically absorb all artificially created excess explosive energy within a radius of 2,000 miles and release it all at the end of each month. This supernatural item was contained at the beginning of this era. The first place of discovery was the ruins of an alchemy workshop before the era. Along with the puppet, there were also documents explaining its function. The church originally believed that it had the potential to eliminate total war. Now it seems that preventing such large-scale explosions is also possible."

After explaining to this extent, everyone also understood that the church was fully capable of solving this matter. The power of the church far exceeded their imagination. At first, they did not trust the church. On the one hand, several people did not want to be associated with the church, and on the other hand, they did not expect Nolan to actually have such a means to deal with the crisis.

Since the matter has been resolved, it can be regarded as a good result. They did not accept Miss Knight's repeated retention and left immediately.

Originally, they were worried that the scary-looking dragon would stop them, but the dragon just lay in the yard and slept with its eyes closed. Even when people passed by it, the dragon did not open its eyes.

Carefully watching whether Miss Knight would follow them, they cleaned up the traces they had walked, and finally returned to Miss Silver Flute's country house in the shade of the hillside before dawn.

The four people stood on the balcony and waited patiently. When the first ray of dawn broke through the horizon and shone on the port city, the shining sunlight seemed to dye the city golden.

The expected earthquake occurred, but the tremor was very slight. Then, thousands of fiery red silk threads that only the gifted could reach gathered from the underground of the city to the Church of Death and the End on the edge of the city.

The ultimate duty of the Church of Death and the End is to bid farewell to every dead person, but on this morning it saved every living person in the city.

The sun shone on the false faces of the four people on the balcony of the country villa, but it brought out the most sincere smiles of the four people. This busy night was worth it. Although none of the four people were completely good people, they at least had deep feelings for this city.
