After a long day.
Newcastle, shrouded in the shadow of evil, has finally returned to its former tranquility.
After midnight.
No one sleeps.
Volunteers and government employees were busy and silent all night in foy manor.
The families of the victims cried and left with sadness under the comfort of the police.
Carl wrapped vera in a blanket, held her in his arms and whispered comfort.
Their eyes rested on the black shroud not far away, and the label of one of them read their familiar name: Hugo Hoshi.
Their hair is small.
A playmate who once spent his childhood in the same primary school.
After closing the door around Cole, the female reporter still didn't give up and found hardy who helped gene to rest in the mansion.
Talk and get what she wants.
Before leaving the manor.
Amelia looked at Cole from a distance, looked helpless, sighed, carried her bag and left quickly.
Into the night.
Newcastle City Council building.
The telephone number of the acting mayor was almost exploded by the headquarters of the demon hunting regiment and the prime minister's house.
It's not dawn yet.
An integrated imperial army brigade had arrived in Newcastle overnight by train.
While controlling the local chaos.
Implement compulsory jurisdiction over Fuyi South iron and steel group.
The army was accompanied by an investigation mission sent from the headquarters of the demon hunting regiment.
Four fifty in the morning.
Maurice Berg, the head of the investigation mission and one of the three permanent leaders of the implementation team, met with Cole in the conference hall on the third floor of the municipal building.
A man over 50, bald, tall and thin, with a gloomy face.
Wearing a long black windbreaker.
Sitting in a chair with a cup of hot milk, he said to Cole with a straight face, "Mr. Cole walker, our conversation will be recorded by the tape recorder as a confession in court.
What do I ask, what do you answer, understand? "
Cole, with a cigarette in his hand, frowned and said indifferently, "ask."
It seems that I have heard of his arrogance for a long time. Morris was silent for a while, pressed the tape recorder and said, "after Hendrick's death, are you the only person in charge at the scene?"
"Hendrick died the moment before the seal was completed."
"How do you explain the numerous casualties at the scene?"
“...”
After a routine inquiry.
The hot milk in the cup is getting cold.
Morris turned off the tape recorder and said solemnly, "it involves foy Steel Group, hundreds of lives. I hope you can understand my difficulties, Mr. Cole walker."
See Cole who smokes and is always silent.
Morris reluctantly smiled and pretended to be relaxed. "Please rest assured that the investigation team and the trial court will make the most fair judgment."
...
Noon the next day.
Within the Empire and even neighboring countries.
The headlines of every newspaper are explosive news about Newcastle's "murderer in the mirror" for a century, announcing that the case has made great progress!
Two demon hunters died.
Among them is Hugo Hoshi, the grandson of the helmsman of the automotive industry.
Twenty nine people are missing and 167 innocent citizens are dead.
The mayor of Newcastle, the Commissioner of police, two senior detectives and 16 police officers were killed on the spot.
In addition.
The news about Luc foy and foy Southern iron and Steel Group, which have been deeply involved in a hundred years of pending cases, shows a polarized attitude.
Not surprisingly, Luc's capital group has begun to operate in the media.
That afternoon.
An exclusive headline in the grand Empire Daily has raised the news and attention of "Newcastle's Centennial outstanding case" to a new height.
"The man feared by death: Cole Walker -- the sacrifice of the front-line demon hunters and the incompetence of the bureaucrats of the demon hunting regiment.
Written exclusively by Amelia green. "
This news not only occupied the front page, but also used a whole page to release the black-and-white photo taken by the female reporter at foy manor, which can be called the best photography of the year.
The demon hunter holds a knife in one hand and a gun in the other.
Blood all over.
Blood droplets slide down the tip of the knife.
At the moment when the muzzle flame flickered, three twisted and strange evil things that made the reader crazy stagnated in the air that rushed at him.
If that's all.
Perhaps this news can not reach the current explosive communication power.
The most amazing thing for critics is that this photo perfectly presents the powerful spirit of the demon hunter who is calm, indifferent to death and not afraid of evil.
Its fearlessness.
Enough to inspire the courage of everyone who sees this picture.
In addition.
And because this is the second time the imperial people have seen the name of Cole Walker in the newspaper.
Like many people believe in fatalism, the predicted Savior is exciting in this dangerous world surrounded by darkness and evil.
The third page of the newspaper.
There is another short report, accompanied by a picture of Cole sitting by the garden smoking.
"The loneliness of the demon hunters on the front line -- pay tribute to those brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the Empire and the people.
Written exclusively by Amelia green. "
...
evening.
Take the train back to the capital.
Hardy held the newspaper. It seemed that the terrorist experience in Newcastle had not caused any psychological shadow to him. He smiled heartlessly, "boss, now you are a celebrity in the Empire!
Ha ha! I guess you must be one of the few demon hunters in the demon hunting group who made headlines twice... Oh no! Who completed the feat of slaughtering the version! "
Gene smiled very reluctantly.
It seemed to be the sequelae of the direct contact between the seal ceremony and the evil forces. He was pale and wrapped in three thick blankets, but he was still shivering with cold.
"Captain Cole is better than many demon hunters I've seen."
Carl sat on the other side and whispered to comfort Vera. He turned to Cole, took a deep breath and said, "Cole."
Gently rubbing the metal flip lighter, Cole said coldly, "say."
"I want to join the black snake brigade."
The voice fell.
Hardy and gene looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Perhaps the heims family is not as well known as Hoshi industries.
However, perhaps no one is strange to mention the Mengxi imperial Development Bank.
The heims family, a hereditary banker.
The top person in the imperial capital.
It is really surprising that such a dissolute young man who will inherit hundreds of millions of wealth suddenly requests to join the investigation section action team dancing with death every day.
"Uh... Carl, are you serious? About Hugo..."
The young man, who was always frivolous and kind-hearted when he went to Newcastle, was gloomy and silent for a long time, and did not answer Hardy's questions.
Cole handed over the cigarette box.
Carl took one of them and held it in his mouth.
"Yes."
For the first time, when Cole agreed to join the team so happily, hardy opened his mouth and wanted to say something. Finally, he had to shrug helplessly, turn around and smile at Carl, "welcome to the black snake, Carl Helms."
