Timeline backtracking.

Thirty minutes before Cole entered Gregor town.

It has been more than 24 hours since miss kemora nohan, the Second Secretary of interior minister Roddy Singh, disappeared.

In a world where evil forces are everywhere.

Any case of missing persons deserves the high attention of the police and the demon hunting troupe.

Like the yellow leaves blown by the first breeze before the storm.

A full-time secretary of a big bureaucrat of the demon hunting regiment disappeared in the imperial capital for 24 hours for no reason. Even after mobilizing a large number of police forces and searching the whole city, there was still no trace.

The seriousness and severity of this emergency is enough to make a large number of bureaucrats of the demon hunting regiment sit at the conference table, spitting stars flying everywhere, blushing and thick necked "debate" day and night.

Especially.

At the current juncture, when the internal investigation is over, the position of the permanent member of the demon hunting regiment, nicius Franco, is vacant.

Interior minister Roddy Singh is also the most powerful contender for permanent membership.

Look through his resume.

It's luxurious.

Most importantly

Behind him stood Baruch Lennon Butler, another senior official of the demon hunting group, and the ambiguous Morgan consortium.

All kinds of conspiracy theories, political persecution, power and property transactions, struggle vortex

There is a lot of noise in the demon hunting group.

so that.

The demon hunters who first visited the crime scene, penny seranda's apartment, once thought that they had been tampered with according to the results of their investigation.

This is not the worst.

It happens.

Another permanent member, Luken Kay, is also about to retire.

There were two vacancies at once.

All the big consortia and political gatekeepers in the Empire were riveted with great strength and stared at every move of the top level of the demon hunting group.

The mysterious disappearance of the Second Secretary of the interior minister has virtually become the first storm to push the tide of struggle to the high point.

In addition, there is a recent rumor within the demon hunting group that Cole walker, the new special minister, has been designated as one of the future permanent members.

If interior minister Roddy Singh succeeds in taking office, together with the future Cole walker, he will form a senior official, Baruch.

Huge power factions are combined with consortia.

In the eyes of other door lords and consortia: are you too ugly for the Morgan family? Don't you leave us a bite of soup?

Now.

Baruch and Roddy, standing in his office.

We are listening to a demon hunter who is responsible for investigating the case and reporting to them.

"... on site evidence collection. The afternoon before yesterday, miss kemora did go to penny seranda's apartment. We interviewed nearby residents.

One eyewitness report confirmed that kemora left the apartment after a period of time.

But there is no way to verify the trace after that. "

Interior minister Roddy Singh.

A rugged man with a tall figure and his face cut horizontally by a ferocious scar.

Pull up the sleeves of the white shirt, hold the chest with both hands, and the muscle texture on the strong forearm is clearly visible.

After listening to the report, he frowned and said in his hoarse voice, "have you ever asked the Institute of mystics for divination?"

The demon hunter shook his head and replied, "the researchers in charge of this matter are very sure that they have not found traces of evil forces in Miss seranda's apartment.

however...

It seems that someone used supernatural forces to deliberately cover up Miss kemora's whereabouts. "

That's it.

The demon hunter shut up and didn't go on.

without doubt.

As long as you are not a fool, connect this matter with the power struggle that can be seen by the discerning people in the demon hunting regiment.

It was a premeditated kidnapping.

The specific purpose and motivation are unknown.

But it must have something to do with her Majesty's appointment of the next permanent member to fill the vacancy of nicius Franco three months later.

however.

Compared with the bureaucrats who were completely obsessed with power struggle, they were originally engaged in civilian work.

Baruch and Rodi, who were born in a line of demon hunters, were vaguely aware that this matter revealed a trace of mystery.

All things have strict logic to find. Even the results of on-site evidence collection point to a very precise point. This is a premeditated kidnapping.

But

This kind of thing, the more premature to draw a conclusion, the more accidents will occur.

Let the demon hunter go out first.

Holding his hands on the windowsill, Baruch looked at the endless street, remained silent for a long time, and said, "penny seranda also disappeared

Does it have anything to do with Cole? "

To be able to climb to the position of permanent members and massacre sequence, Baruch must not be a vegetarian meal.

Like gene.

As a demon hunter who is good at dealing with supernatural events on the mysterious side, he likes to connect seemingly unrelated events with self consistent logic and fantasy.

even to the extent that.

In his early years, he was persecuted by the devil for several times, which made him involuntarily associate it with the devil possessed case.

it seems that.

Behind everything, there are a pair of invisible hands, which are pushed slowly with a tight logical connection.

Roddy said, "I heard that Miss penny seranda has a very close relationship with Cole. Shall we inform him?"

Baruch turned and said expressionless, "he is in the white moon Republic, helping the demon hunting regiment over there to deal with a case of demon possession. Now it distracts him and may lead to danger.

First put the matter down and tell the relevant persons of the incident. Before the case is clear, if someone tells Cole about penny, I'll replace him. "

As a professional demon hunter in charge of the mysterious side.

Baruch knows very well that once the news of penny seranda's disappearance is told to Cole, his worry and anxiety will definitely become the devil, which can be used wantonly to break through the fatal weakness of his soul room.

Making such a decision is also to protect the safety of Cole overseas to the greatest extent.

however.

Compared with the highly tense nerves of the demon hunting group.

A hired killer appears calm... Or the cunning witch, Haley Johnny, is willing to take the risk of her life and take her partner with her after telling Cole.

With twenty wicked souls.

In exchange for the temporary shelter of another great devil, he escaped from mengxidi capital early, the place of disaster in the future.

A manor somewhere.

An extremely luxurious noble room.

Arlene, Haley's partner, couldn't stop pacing in place, even scratched her hair crazily, turned around, and questioned loudly with incredible eyes as if she knew each other on the first day.

"Crazy... Crazy... You must be crazy! Haley Johnny!

You would hate a bastard demon hunter, a hateful, despicable, obscene, smelly man, greedy... And that level of existence!

my god!

You won't tell me you really love him, will you?

Haley, the immortal witch who kills people without blinking an eye, will also fall in love with someone?

WOW! Am I crazy?

Or is the world crazy? "

Haley held a cup of hot tea and seemed not to be in a hurry. She blew the tea and said methodically, "this is a value for money, long-term venture capital, my dear Arlene.

Are we doing such things less often?

If Cole can really suppress or even kill that guy, do you know what that means? "

Arlene said helplessly, "of course I know! But... This kind of thing is really crazy! You're playing with fire, Haley!"
