Chapter 65: Chapter 65: The Seriousness of the Situation
Translator: 549690339
London Street Police Division.
Cass, who was reviewing documents in the archive room, suddenly received a message from Koslin.
“A serious pollution source? It appeared in the house of the deceased security officer.’
That Koslin mentioned ‘serious’ indicated that the situation was grim.
“We haven’t even arrived at the scene, and we’ve encountered a serious pollution source… Fiya, let’s hurry over to help them. Bring the documents with us.”
“A serious pollution source, how could this be?” Sophia was also shocked.
Cass was worried about his teammates’ situation.
After all, being in a closed house wouldn’t facilitate Koslin’s sniper skills.
And although Han Dong had shown his strength in the previous ghoul incident. he mainly relied on summoned creatures: Physically. Han Dong was inferior to an ordinary person.
The two immediately packed all the documents about ‘Block 37’ into their backpacks and headed towards the exit of the police division.
“Click! ”
Suddenly.
A security officer came forward and shut the division’s door, looking at Cass and Sophia with a strange gaze.
“Honorable apprentice knights, please return the documents to us.
It is clearly stipulated that files related to ‘pollution’ are classified and only professionals directly under the Knight Regiment or the church are allowed to carry them away when they have relevant permits.”
Cass had a keen sense of smell and could sense a ‘strange’ atmosphere spreading in the division’s air.
He immediately scanned the division’s hall.
All the officers who should have been engrossed in their work were lifting their heads, staring at them in an eerie way.
“Fiya, give them the documents.”
“…I can forcibly take these documents away using my family’s badge.”
“Give it to them,” Cass insisted once more.
“Alright.’
After Fiya handed over all the documents.
All personnel in the division who had been staring at the two resumed their work.
The staff member who had blocked their way created a normal smile, reopening the division’s gate.
“If you need any help, honorable apprentice knights, please give your instructions… we will certainly ‘assist with all our might’.”
“Hmm…’
Cass grabbed Sophia’s arm and left the division quickly, walking to the next block.
Not until they could no longer see the strange officer who kept waving farewell to them.
Because Cass had willingly held her hand and wasn’t letting go, Sophia’s face turned red.
But Cass was solemn, even more anxious than when they discovered the ghoul nest.
“The situation is far more serious than we imagined… there are even issues with London Street’s Police Division.
Initially, I was suspicious about how it was possible that only one security officer had entered the Baker House to search after the incident, and then suddenly died at home.
But now it seems that a large number of security personnel must have entered the mansion to search at that time.
One of them resisted the pollution invasion out of sheer willpower and suddenly died… while the rest of the security personnel were probably polluted and then controlled.”
Upon hearing this, Sophia also snapped out of her beautiful daydream, her face full of fear:
.Ah! All the staff in the police division were polluted? How is that possible? This is a national security issue, shouldn’t the Knight Regiment take direct action to resolve it?”
Cass explained: “The incident just happened not long ago, plus with the problem in the police division, the information the Knight Regiment received might be falsified by the police division.
Of course, there’s also a time limit on the Bounty Order. If we can’t complete the tasks within the specified time, the Knight Regiment will intervene immediately… but by then it might be too late.
Behind the ‘Ghost Incident of London Street’ there might be a big secret that threatens the safety of Holy City.
Everything is planned.
Controlling homeless people to create ‘heinous murder incidents’, thus attracting a large number of security personnel to enter Baker House.
We’re already horrified just by touching a part of the information, as we delve deeper in, we will inevitably discover more terrifying truths.
Never mind these things… Let’s hurry up and assist Koslin and our friend
Andwa.”
The two flagged down a carriage and sped off.
The old lady’s home.
Due to drinking the pure holy water, Koslin’s condition had basically recovered.
Currently, he would only experience minor illusions and auditory hallucinations. As long as he stays focused, there’s nothing to worry about… of course, he still has to avoid secondary pollution, otherwise, he could really undergo falling or even deteriorating abnormalities.”
Upon seeing the gloomy and strange scene on the second floor, Koslin shuddered.
With his long-range abilities, it would be very difficult to function in such a restrictive space… would be troublesome if he got up close.
“Senior Koslin, can your equipment locate which room the target is in?”
There are three separate rooms on the second floor, all doors currently closed.
According to the old lady’s previous moving speed, if Han Dong and the others chose the wrong room, the old lady could possibly flee swiftly or hide in some dark corner to ambush them.
“Yes… but it’s limited to sensing, not precise positioning.”
Koslin took out a gadget similar to a ‘Resonance Magnet’ from his backpack. The interior was blended with high-purity brass, which would intensify vibrations when close to a pollution source, thus determining the distance between the target.
It couldn’t achieve exact positioning.
“Senior, I will search for the target, and you support me from behind.”
“Be careful…what we’re dealing with this time isn’t simple, especially be careful not to have prolonged eye contact with the target.”
“Yes.”
Han Dong took the Resonance Magnet and went upstairs.
The Yin Qi seeping through the floor would automatically invade living bodies. Initially, it would feel a chill, but with a heavy accumulation, severe symptoms like ‘osteonecrosis’, ‘organ failure’ could occur.
However, with the ‘Bird Beak Doctor Outfit’ to protect him, Han Dong’s black robe could completely block the Yin Qi from his body.
He walked slowly past the three closed doors.
However, the ‘Resonance Magnet’ in his hand didn’t show a very strong reaction… On the contrary, when he walked to the end of the foyer, the magnet transmitted a slight vibration.
Han Dong immediately recalled the building’s exterior in his mind.
“It appears to have only two levels… actually, the top triangular archway structure of this building indicates the existence of a hidden attic. Judging from the magnet’s detection, the target is likely hidden there.”
Just as Han Dong was trying to find a way to the attic.
Koslin, who has a strong affinity for objects and machinery, discovered a ‘mystery’ on the surface of the oil lamp in the foyer.
Placing his ear against the oil lamp surface, he detected a hidden switch by listening to the sound of internal parts colliding when he turned the valve of the oil lamp.
Click!
The hidden switch was triggered.
A mechanical sound came from the ceiling, a folding staircase unfolded and descended..
