[Exorcism] Parallel Trap

At night, Noah's headquarters.

"...Hey, have you heard that a dozen children slipped away at that spot in District S?"

"A dozen? So many? It can't be done by the religious group... By the way, can the black dragon do it? Why would the Boss think of cooperating with them?"

"Who knows, anyway, we are... Ah, Hello, Lord Rhodes!"

"Yeah." Rhodes, who had just returned from the task, strode into the hall, threw the pumpkin umbrella casually, and glanced at the backs of the two people who retreated respectfully, his brows arched in surprise. .

slipped?

Isn't Tiqi going to see that spot in the S area today? With him around, he can slip away. Who is so lucky?

Rhodes, who was wondering, walked upstairs, just in time to see a group of subordinates leave from the Boss study, it seems that Tiqi has returned.With some curiosity, Rhode approached the study lightly, and then took a look.

Sure enough, something was wrong.

Boss Noah, who had retreated all his subordinates, was standing alone in the study at the moment, motionless.He didn't turn on the light, and he couldn't see his expression clearly from the side of his face hidden under the curly hair.After standing there stupidly for a long time, he finally raised his hand unconsciously, took out the cigarette case, and knocked out a cigarette, but before he could hold it in his hand, the cigarette was——

Lost.

It dropped?

For a moment, Rhode wondered if the person inside was Tiqi.Yes, dropping a cigarette isn't a big deal, but it's not normal for this to happen to Tichmiek!But something even more abnormal is yet to come.Tiqi glanced at the cigarettes on the ground in a daze, and then continued to knock on the cigarette box, but after repeated several times, he struggled to take out one, and his hands were still visibly shaking.He mechanically picked at the lighter, clicking, clicking, and failed to light it four times.And just as the failure was declared for the fifth time, Tiqi's movements suddenly stopped.

He just stopped there in such a strange posture, extremely quiet.

I don't know how long it took before there was a burst of low laughter from over there. Trembling and depressing, the man was just holding an unlit cigarette in his mouth, leaning his back against the wall, looking up in the moonlight, As if possessed by a demon, he kept repeating——

"...not dead...he is not dead..."

The core area of ​​the religious order headquarters is different from the busy outer circle, but it is quiet here at the moment.Link knocked lightly on the door, and there was a bit of echo.

"Come in."

Rubelier sat upright behind the desk, and his face didn't seem to be as cloudy as he imagined. Link stood still in front of the desk and began to report as a matter of routine.

"The inspection report came out, and the equipment was not damaged. It was the control system that was hacked and caused the lighting and warning equipment to malfunction. It has now fully resumed operation."

"System intrusion..." Rubelier repeated in a low voice, and then stopped talking.

To be able to do this to such a degree, I really underestimated them.Is that Allen Walker really not dead?No, it is impossible for that kid to crack the control system so easily. Even with Zhang Mo's help, it will be difficult to complete it in such a short period of time, unless...

"Has Kuros been back in the game recently?" He took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.

"No."

"Add some more manpower and strengthen the surveillance of the Intelligence Bureau. Any troubles will not be let go."

"Yes." Link replied, and then seemed to hesitate for a moment before continuing, "In addition, there have been new clues to the rampant child abduction incident in the city..."

child abduction case.For Link, this may be what he cares more about at the moment.Back then, the case in Shihe Town was very involved, and the task force suffered heavy losses, but the culprit was still at large. Rouberier's anger and unwillingness at that time are still vivid in his memory.But this time, the missing persons data had been abnormal as early as half a month ago. He had reported it many times, but it did not receive the expected attention.

"...It is a relatively large-scale gang. The leader of the organization is code-named Heijiao. In the early years, human trafficking was carried out many times, but it is not as good as it is now..."

"Okay, don't worry about this for now," Rubelier interrupted him before he finished speaking, "At present, the focus should be on the actions of the search and arrest team, understand."

"...Yes." Lin Keben wanted to say something, but after glancing at the other party, his expression darkened, and he only answered a single tone without speaking.

The door closed from the outside with a click, Link slowly let go of the handle, turned around and leaned against the wall, and stood there for a long time in the empty corridor.

Over the years, he is not ignorant of the general's transformation, and he doesn't even agree with it very much, but no matter how radical and unscrupulous, he always feels that he can understand the reason why the general did so.It was precisely because of this that he was even more unable to stop him, unable to remove the last support for the general with his own hands.Even all of this may never end.

However, today, he suddenly found that the person in the room was so strange.That general, that Rubelier, would be indifferent to such a case that was so similar to the past?He always remembered the night when he was rescued, the heavy night, the thick blood, and the heavy pain in Ruberier's eyes.

General...has he really changed?

Link stared at the closed door for a moment, and was about to leave when a faint call came out.

"...Well, if there is any situation, report it immediately... Also, how is the investigation of the Black Flood Dragon going?..."

This is?

Link's heart twitched, as if he had thought of something, and the previous haze was almost wiped away.

So the general has always taken it to heart?

"...No, don't do unnecessary things, so as not to startle the snake, as long as he..."

However, before the frowning brows were completely relaxed, the next sentence that caught Link's ears made Link's whole body stiff, and his complexion turned pale instantly.

All around, it was cold and quiet.

When Shaq opened the door and came in, he saw Boss reading a secret report. He squeezed the letter in his hand and walked forward a few steps.

"Boss, this is a new message from this morning."

Hearing the words, the leader raised his head, casually pressed the secret report under the book, and then took the letter paper.However, when his eyes glanced at the deciphered lines of text, his complexion quickly turned cold.

"...What's wrong?" Seeing this, Shaq asked hesitantly.

"Hmph!" The dragon head slapped the letter on the table, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Very good, I have received two secret reports this morning: the first one is that the general wants to get the land in the west area, and he must get Mana’s relics from Noah; The Black Flood Dragon had already made contact secretly, and promised that as long as they could provide a stable source of "experimental products", the land in the western district would be theirs.This bad check was really easy to write.

Longtou glanced at the cautious subordinate on the opposite side, thought for a while, then tossed the two pieces of paper away.

"See for yourself."

This kid Shaq has been following him for some time, he is capable and smart enough, the leader is intended to be reused, it will let him feel the depth of the water.

"This is really...too deceitful." Shaq frowned, and pressed the letter back to its original place.

"That old guy Rubelier is getting more and more unruly." The dragon head narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered.

"Then... Boss, what are you going to do?" Shaq asked in a low voice, a flash of light flashed in his eyes.

The person on the opposite side didn't answer right away. He looked at him and said, "What do you think?"

"I think, Boss, you should have made some plans, right?" Shaq smiled, and had already returned to his respectful appearance.

"Don't worry about it, just tell me what you think." The leader leaned back on the sofa and lit a cigarette.

"Then there's no need to ask. Naturally, it's better to act first." This time the answer was straightforward.The dragon head looked at the speaker in the smoke, without showing any emotion.

What this kid said was exactly what he thought in his heart.In recent years, the rapid development of his leading power is largely due to the secret support of the general, but he has always been restricted by the sect accordingly.Now Rubelier's series of actions are even more aggressive, and the land matter is just the tip of the iceberg. When that guy feels that his chess is no longer easy to control and use, he will definitely cross the river and tear down the bridge.Instead of sitting still and waiting to die, it is better to let out this bad breath first.

"Then what do you say?" He asked seemingly casually, "The Black Order is not easy to provoke."

"There's no need for us to provoke, isn't there still Noah here?" Shaq said meaningfully.

"They've been tossing around for a long time, and I haven't seen any side really collapse. They are not fuel-efficient lamps." The religious order is not easy to mess with, let alone Noah.So before, he was only pointing to the end when he was obstructing it, and his defense was a wrong move. He didn't bring down any side, but he himself was burned.

"That's what I was going to tell you—"

Shaq took a step forward and lowered his voice again.

"Let's... just join forces with Noah?"
