Can't I develop my own character?

"Okay, okay, what's the point of telling them this? What if Lord Hart hears and starts scolding them? Have you forgotten about Sam?"

"Sam, that idiot, actually went to Midtown to commit crimes. He must be tired of living."

"Let's go, we still have to go downstairs to deliver something to Lord Hart."

As they talked, they ignored the others and left.

Edward next door cast a questioning look at Charlie, but Charlie shook her head, signaling him not to ask any more questions.

"Hart, go down..."

Ryan in front of the interface thought for a moment. The information in the conversation between the two people just now was very important, especially the word "go down". He realized that the Karut Labyrinth below might have been discovered by the Blood Bishop.

Speaking of which, the Blood Cult performed a huge sacrifice in the city of Berman. The game plot did not explain where it appeared, but now it seems that it should be in Cazorla Prison.

Fortunately, if I had walked around down there without knowing the Blood Bishop's situation, I might have been discovered.

"We need to find a way to get the blueprints for the Kaluuto Labyrinth."

Time is short and the task is heavy. It will take a long time for "Xia Li" to figure out the situation of the maze by herself.

There are maps in the game, but they are obtained by completing tasks.

Because there are system guidance.

Now? Ryan really wanted to call the system "Dad," and ask if he could give him a mission.

The city government might keep this thing, but given his position...

Ryan suddenly remembered that there seemed to be someone else who could be used.

"I'll ask tomorrow."

After setting 'Xia Li' to AI AFK, Ryan exited the game and took out the 'Swiftness' skill book from his backpack.

With a clap of his hands, the skills were poured into his body and transformed into a mysterious power.

"You've learned it now?"

Lion's Emissary activates Swiftness.

As light as a swallow and as swift as the wind.

The speed has indeed increased.

Skills are not uncommon in the inner world and are usually contained in job-change relics. After successfully changing jobs, you will gradually comprehend them as you become stronger over time.

In addition, you can also pray to the gods through sacrifices, which is the same as praying for relics, but it is more difficult and generally you will not get what you want.

......

The next day, eight o'clock in the morning.

Ryan got up and took a look at the idle records of the two characters. There was no problem with 'Lin Qi'. He was leveling up as usual and was almost at level 18.

'Xia Li' took the opportunity to explore the maze again. Although she didn't find the way out, she did kill some monsters and successfully reached level 8.

The other attributes are similar to Lin Qi's original ones, but the magic growth is really quite good.

"Goodbye Big Muscle, the pretty girl is awesome."

Humming a tune, I rushed to the General Administration for work at 8 am. Because the location had changed, the commuting time had become much longer. Fortunately, I drove the bureau's car yesterday.

It's time to consider moving.

The General Administration was unusually busy today. The fundamental reason was that the group of college students that Ryan arrested last night were notified by the General Administration Office one by one at home in the morning, and then their parents all came over.

Overall, there were no problems, except for two people whose minds were contaminated. They were detained in the police station and not taken away until Ryan appeared. The sheriff in charge of the interrogation came over immediately to ask for instructions.

Ryan asked them to go to Janus Church to find Priest Lin Qi.

Although ordinary people are almost unaware of the existence of extraordinary people, they still believe that there are gods and the great Janus in this world, and the church has the final say on some inexplicable strange things. Therefore, many people who are troubled by evil spirits will subconsciously seek help from the church.

Generally speaking, each church will be equipped with a priest who knows "purification". The skills may not be this one, but the effect is similar.

However, the priest of Berman City was killed by the Blood Cult before, otherwise it would not have been Lin Qi's turn to take the position.

Near noon, Ryan was planning to go to the bookstore to see Keisha, but Jonathan called.

Because he had already revealed his relationship with Adler, he planned to lead the Fire Covenant to launch an all-out attack on the latter's forces, with a full-scale surveillance and a city-wide crackdown, in order to make it difficult for Adler to move and eventually expose his true colors.

The people from the Fire Covenant alone are definitely not enough, so Jonathan needs Ryan to send people from the Administrative Bureau to cooperate. Anyway, the positions of director and deputy director have not been decided yet, so Ryan has the final say.

"Tell me where you want to take action and I will send someone there," Ryan said.

In fact, there are not many core members of the Dark Hand left in Berman City. Most of them are peripheral organizations and believers who have been bewitched. Just like the ones at No. 228 Heding Street before, they have no extraordinary abilities and can only shout "Praise Death" and so on.

But if these people are left alone, they will continue to expand the power of the Dark Hand and provide supplies to the core personnel.

Jonathan's attack on them was equivalent to completely blocking the Dark Hand's retreat.

However, in Ryan's opinion, the Dark Hand was severely damaged, and there were only a few core members left, so Jonathan's move would not have much effect.

There are only about ten people, and even if they don't replenish supplies, they can survive for a long time.

Jonathan didn't know the specific situation of the Dark Hand, but Ryan did, so he planned to try a different approach.

"What time will the operation take place?"

"This afternoon at three o'clock."

"Row."

Ryan wrote down the locations given by Jonathan, and then dispatched some people from the administrative bureau.

The sheriffs' combat power is more than enough to deal with ordinary believers. After all, they have guns in their hands. Not to mention that they are not extraordinary people, even extraordinary people have to think twice.

Ryan is personally in charge of the Midtown area, and Jack cooperates with him.

Before leaving at 3 p.m., Ryan found a public phone booth and called Adler's office.

"Lord Adler, the Fire Covenant has begun its action. You must quickly withdraw the people of the Dark Hand."

"Damn it, that guy is still haunting us!" Adler cursed. "Lian, thank goodness you're here. I'll make arrangements right away."

"Everything is for Grand Duchess Maganna. Loyalty goes without saying. I'll try my best to hold them back. Hurry up!"

Chapter 44 Adler: Fortunately, Ryan is here!

The reason why he chose to tell Adler the news was because Ryan just remembered that after he officially became a member of the Maganna camp, he seemed to have never done anything wholeheartedly for the organization.

This is not what a qualified insider should do!

Although failure every time is understandable, failure every time is a problem.

Either there is something wrong with you as a person or there is something wrong with your ability, it must be one of the two.

Anyway, attacking those strongholds wouldn't actually cause much harm to Adler. At most, it would make him feel awkward and make him do something impulsive out of frustration.

But how likely is this?

Therefore, Ryan might as well take this opportunity to express his loyalty to the organization. As the sun and the moon can attest, Grand Duchess Maganna has yet to repay his kindness!

And for Adler, as long as you also praise Maganna, then we are half-brothers!

It is still worthwhile to exchange some unimportant things for higher trust.

More importantly, Casradi will soon organize an attack plan against Adler. If Ryan wants to take advantage of the situation to kill Adler, he must gain the other party's absolute trust.

"I understand. It's all thanks to you, Ryan." Adler said in a deep voice, "Now you are our hope. Continue to win the trust of the Fire Covenant. I'll have someone bring some things to the bookstore. You can pick them up. They are all for aiding cultivation."

Ryan had previously told Adler about his magic talent test. Of course, he didn't say he was six stars, but conservatively said four stars.

Four stars is equivalent to magic talent C, which is already quite good. Adler's own magic talent is not that high.

What Ryan wants is to get more wool from the other side. Since we hope so, it is only right that the organization expresses its support, right?

"Now is not the time to talk about this... Well, just give me some more Soul Jades and extraordinary props. You can leave them in the bookstore and give them to Kesha. I'll pick them up when I have time." Ryan said, "Okay, I'll try to delay them, you hurry up."

Having said this, after hanging up the phone, Ryan rushed back to the headquarters and led the sheriffs into action with an order.

The Dark Hand did not have many locations in Midtown, only two strongholds. He and Jack each led a team to raid and ran into several cultists who were considering whether to rob a bank or rob wealthy businessmen next.

Some resisted fiercely and were shot dead on the spot by the sheriff.

In pagan forces, singers can spiritually pollute ordinary people by channeling the power of foreign gods, so real pagan members are bloodthirsty and cruel, completely different from the middle school patients at Berman University.

Ryan didn't expect to catch them alive, sometimes the corpse was just as important.

These are all merits.

"Captain, there are only two of them left."

The sheriff in charge of the operation pointed to the two men who were knocked down and pinned down, and said, "The others were all killed."

Ryan waved his hand and said, "Take them back first. The rest of you should conduct a thorough search inside. These damn pagans, it's our fault that we allowed them to stay in Berman City for so long."

"You are absolutely right."

Killing, arresting, searching, a one-stop service. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when Ryan's team returned to the headquarters.

The other action teams all gained something. Although Adler received the news in advance, the time was too short and more than half of the strongholds did not have time to evacuate.

It has to be said that the Fire Covenant's intelligence gathering is still very powerful. Ryan himself doesn't know about most of these strongholds, but Jonathan can quietly determine their locations.

I'm afraid it's been going on for more than a day or two.

The reason for not taking action before was because of the fear of alerting the enemy. After all, Jonathan also knew that it would not be of much use to just capture some peripheral personnel.

What now?

Adler had already slammed the table.

"Damn Jonathan, damn Fire Covenant!"

In the office, Adler has received the latest news.

After this operation, all major strongholds suffered heavy losses and most of the peripheral personnel were gone.

Originally, he had hoped to secretly expand his power through these peripheral personnel and find a way to launch a counterattack. But now, he has been completely forced into a desperate situation.

Even if he continued to do nothing, he didn't think Jonathan or Casradi would let him go.

After much deliberation, Adler decided to ask for support.

He returned home and stood in front of the mirror. As ripples appeared on the mirror surface, a mysterious hooded figure appeared in the mirror.

"Lord Creed."

Adler said respectfully.

Of course, the person he could contact was Creed rather than Maganna. It was the latter who contacted him last time. Besides, Adler didn't have the courage to face the majestic figure of the Grand Duke now.

As for Creed, he was nominally Maganna's "military advisor", but Adler had never seen his true face.

"Failed again?" Creed asked.
