The suburb of the imperial capital.
There was a heavy knock on the door in the corridor of a cheap apartment.
Not long ago, a small young man opened the door with sleepiness and impatience and said, "early in the morning, who?!"
"Hardy."
The little man rubbed his eyes, smiled awkwardly and hurried out of the way, "boss, why are you here?! come in quickly... Er, there may be a bit of chaos at home."
Double queen bed.
The female nurse Cole had seen in the hospital was dressing in a hurry, frowning and shouting, "hardy! Where are my socks? I'm going to be late for work!"
"Socks... Not on the floor?"
Anxiously lying on the ground, he took out a cotton sock with dust from under the bed and handed it to him.
After a rush.
Open the curtain, hold up the female nurse's waist and kiss, "see you in the evening, honey."
"Well, well, I'm really going to be late."
He pushed him away, picked up his backpack and smiled at Cole as he passed the door. "Good morning, Mr. Cole."
Send off your girlfriend.
The little man closed the door, dressed and said, "boss, what can I do for you?"
Cole took out the cloth and handed it to him.
"Track it with sequence secrets and tell me the results."
Hardy frowned slightly, looked down at the rags and said, "there's a new case?"
See Cole doesn't respond.
Simply stop asking questions, pinch the rags in the palm of your hand, close your eyes, and the power of sequence mystery leads to perception and no darkness.
In a minute.
Hardy opened his eyes, shook his head and said, "the last person who touched this thing is dead. Although the environment in the perception is very dark, I can detect the smell of death inside."
"Is there a specific location?"
"Specific location..."
After thinking for a while, hardy returned the rags to Cole with a serious expression and said, "if there's anything you can help, Captain, you might as well say it directly."
Cole took out the cigarette box, handed hardy one, lit it, frowned and said, "penny seranda, you should know, there was news last night.
The razor killed the team.
I received this rag this morning. "
"Is that so?"
Holding a cigarette, the little man leaned against the wall and frowned. For a moment, he didn't know what to say to comfort Cole.
It's not uncommon for demon hunters to lose their friends in duty.
But not everyone can face it calmly.
Especially a close friend with an unusual relationship.
He took a hard cigarette and said in silence for a moment, "boss, I'm one of this. No matter whether I see seranda's body or not, she must want to convey some information to you through this rag."
Cole said coldly, "go get dressed."
"Wait a minute."
Five minutes later.
A public telephone booth by the road.
In the cold air, hardy put his hands in his coat pocket, kept chopping peppers, shrunk his neck and said, "hiss, is he really cold... Last time Carl mentioned to me that his aunt works in the intelligence analysis department.
Maybe he can help us get the action plan of the razor brigade. "
coin-operated.
Make a call.
"Carl, it's me."
"Good morning... Cole."
Carl's voice kept sleeping.
"Help me get an action plan for the razor brigade of the executive group. Don't make a noise."
The other end of the phone didn't respond.
Then came the woman's complaint and Carl's tireless scolding.
Not long.
"When?"
"Now."
After a moment of silence, Carl said, "I'll try my best to meet at the bar opposite headquarters in an hour."
Hang up.
"Boss, how's it going?"
"Let's go."
An hour later, nine twenty in the morning.
Ding Ling.
The clear bell rang when the door of the bar was pushed open.
Carl, wearing an expensive gray coat, threw a stack of documents on the table and waved to the bartender, "three black katies."
Sit on the high foot next to Cole.
"Fifteen minutes. I'll return it after reading."
Open the folder.
After browsing the whole body, all the names and task descriptions inside are blacked out, leaving only very limited clues.
Carl drank the black Katie in the cup at one breath and whispered, "I heard from my aunt about the razor brigade. The news is still blocked because it involves an internal secret investigation..."
It seems that Hugo's affair has led to serious trauma to the once Playboy's heart and spirit.
The thick bottomed glass wine glass smashed on the table, turned to look at the two people, took a deep breath, and the voice was filled with anger that could not be alleviated, filled with hatred for those who succumbed to evil.
"No matter who leaked the secret, I will find him myself."
Check out.
The three left the bar.
When Carl secretly returned the confidential documents, the three drove to the DIDU railway station.
Based on the limited information in that document.
Cole got an address: Cindas.
An abandoned remote town in the north of the Empire.
A place where evil cults are prevalent and can not be eradicated.
Based on the analysis of the confidentiality of the document, Cole infers that penny seranda and the razor brigade should be carrying out a secret sneak operation.
Plus the overreaction of the demon hunting headquarters.
It seems that this task is not just sneaking in.
Usually, in addition to the execution team, the imperial army will participate in the action of destroying cult groups and suppress them by force.
On the train.
Carl sat beside hardy and said expressionless, "I went to see Vera yesterday. She was not in good condition. She always locked herself in the bedroom without eating or drinking.
How's gene? "
Hardy opened the sandwich bread he bought on the train and said while eating.
"It's the same as before. There's no sign of awakening."
"Newcastle..."
Carl frowned and sighed, "the experience that day has changed a lot... I don't know if they can recover."
Hardy looked heartless and joked, "we are demon hunters, man. Death is as normal for us as eating and drinking water.
If you immerse yourself in such things every day... "
Swallowing the bread, he said, "when the devil or Witch catches the weakness of his heart... Burp, I think you want to go down early and reunite with them."
I heard the little man burping.
Carl smiled and said, "I envy you, Hardy."
"Yes?"
The little man opened his eyes wide and said in shock, "you are the banker of the future, Carl! That's the kind of rich man who can't spend all his money in a hundred years! What's the place for you to envy me?"
"Wow, really?"
"Isn't it?"
Laughing and shaking his head, Carl stopped talking.
DIDU is about 400 kilometers away from sindas town. You need to get off at Manchester Railway Station and then transfer to a bus.
After midnight.
The slow steam train pulled into the terminal city.
The three stayed in a local hotel and were ready to rush to Cindas after dawn.
