Chapter 41: Ghost City(1/3)
The chaotic situation in the underground prison quickly subsided. After all, Brother Shui and others had retreated. A group of criminals wearing restraint devices would not be able to cause too much trouble even if they were released from the cells.
In the dean's office on the third floor, Irene stood in a row with several people on duty at the middle floor of the lunatic asylum. They were filled with frustration. Since the establishment of the lunatic asylum, although some extremely vicious criminals have escaped, it was an escape. No one has ever been able to escape from the lunatic asylum before.
The murderer was kidnapped here.
"Dean, we..."
As soon as Irene opened her mouth, she noticed that Su Xiao, who was flipping through the documents behind the desk, had his hands trembled. This made Irene's words stop abruptly. Several middle-level people in the lunatic asylum next to her didn't even dare to breathe.
"The hatred on the third floor of the dungeon has been rescued. It's a good thing. From now on, the maintenance cost of the underground prison can be reduced by at least 20% every month."
After Su Xiao said this, he threw a pile of documents in his hand on the table. After hearing this, several senior managers in the lunatic asylum, including Irene, lowered their heads.
"I will handle this matter. If the House of Representatives comes to trouble you, just tell them to get out."
"Ah? Dean, is that... bad?"
Irene's expression was quite complicated. She felt a little guilty on her face, but she was inexplicably a little excited in her heart.
"There's nothing wrong with it. You have to disappear from my sight within 10 seconds."
After hearing this, Irene and others were hesitant to speak, and finally left with frustrated expressions on their faces, their anger towards the Dark Cult already full in their hearts.
Su Xiao picked up the phone on the table, considered her words, and then called Mayor Perkin. As soon as the call was connected, the other person said: "No money."
"..."
Su Xiao felt that these words sounded familiar, and he said: "It's not about money."
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Mayor Perkin, who was wearing pajamas on the other side of the phone, straightened up from his recliner and looked at it. It was already nine o'clock in the evening. Mayor Perkin looked serious. He knew that at this time, there was nothing serious to do.
Neither he nor Tessa would call him. They both knew that he was not in good health. If they called at this time, either the department was in urgent need of money or something had happened. Mayor Perkin preferred the former.
"I'm mentally prepared now, let's talk."
Mayor Perkin's tone lost its previous warmth and became serious.
"Tonight, people from the Dark God's Cult sneaked into the lunatic asylum and rescued a person."
"Don't tell me, they saved Hatred."
"Correct answer."
"Hoo~"
Mayor Perkin exhaled, and after twitching his eyebrows, he asked in a calm tone: "Did the lunatic asylum suffer heavy losses?"
"Other than the hatred of being robbed, there is basically no loss."
"How many people did they come to hold you back?"
"I wasn't in the asylum at the time, I was drinking with Tessa."
Hearing what Su Xiao said, Mayor Perkin said in his heart, "Good guy, if any of these two people are present, they can't get into this kind of thing."
"I understand. It seems that I don't have time to rest tonight."
After Mayor Perkin said this, he hung up the phone. Su Xiao called Tessa directly to inform her of tonight's events, which was a pre-emptive communication.
After hanging up the phone, Su Xiao began to ask BuBoWang to play back the surveillance footage from various places in the lunatic asylum tonight. The first was the footage of Brother Shui and others rescuing Hatred on the third floor of the underground prison.
When Brother Shui stopped the train convoy, his purpose was not to kill Silver Face, Red Eyed Girl and others, but to learn the whereabouts of the director of Twilight Lunatic Asylum. Thinking about it this way, Brother Shui had two purposes, 1. To kill.
Director of Dusk Lunatic Asylum, 2. What do you get from the Director of Dusk Lunatic Asylum?
The answer is obviously the latter, but after Brother Shui confirmed that the director of Dusk Lunatic Asylum was Su Xiao, he gave up this plan and chose a more cumbersome and time-consuming way to get what he wanted. Now
It seems that it is the key to open the elevator in the center of the lunatic asylum and the means of identifying the third floor of the dungeon.
In Brother Shui's estimation, the risk of fighting Su Xiao to the death is much higher than the backup plan.
Brother Shui's initial goal is the dungeon key, so this all makes sense, but the question is, why does the other party want to save Hatred? This is most likely the core content of Brother Shui's mission.
Su Xiao continued to watch the surveillance video. Soon, a surveillance video with a low sound that could barely be heard caught his attention. He turned the sound to the maximum. After a while, the video finished playing. It was Brother Shui who stopped the Dark God Cult.
A scene in which members were silenced.
Based on Su Xiao's understanding of Brother Shui, also known as Enzuo, this person does not have the habit of killing innocent people indiscriminately. The problem is that during tonight's infiltration, the guards were obviously not on the innocent side, but on the hostile side. They actually left the enemy's
Live, this is very meaningful.
Because Brother Shui didn't do everything right, the alliance that got slapped tonight did not reach the level of becoming a laughing stock. Although a criminal escaped from the lunatic asylum, there were no casualties. The nature of this matter can be reduced from prison robbery to cooperation inside and outside.
Just one word difference in the jailbreak, but the subsequent intensity of revenge is completely different.
If they are jailed, the Alliance will find a way to kill every one of the people involved in this matter tonight. But if they are jailed, the Alliance will not care about who specifically carried out the matter, but will focus on
On the Dark Cult, the mastermind behind the scenes.
In this way, Brother Shui not only completed the mission of Death Paradise, first received the mission reward, but also received the payment from the Dark God Religion. In addition, he could also rely on the Dark God Religion's camp reputation to exchange supplies at the camp store in Ghost City. Finally, he also received
He will be stared at and targeted by the alliance. This is a brilliant thing to do.
Su Xiao switched the screen to Black A. It was the scene of Black A pulling out the "Abyss Meteor" sword. This made Su Xiao feel a little better. Black A was the key to the plan to deal with the leader of the abyss, Silvis.
The most important thing.
First of all, the leader of the abyss, Silvis, trusts Black A very much. In addition, Black A is a rebellious son who always thinks about defeating Su Xiao. This makes Black A act like the real thing when working under the leader of the abyss, Silvis.
No, that was not an act, but Black A’s true thoughts. This also destined that the leader of the abyss, Silvis, could not see through the fact that Black A was a traitor. To be more precise, Black A himself did not know that he was a traitor.
.
Black A is the first Devourer created by Su Xiao. Of course he has the means to control it. Because of this, Su Xiao's idea is that this traitor must not add drama to himself indiscriminately. Just keep his current style and lead the leader of the abyss.
·Just do the work under Silvis.
When Su Xiao takes care of the leader of the abyss, Silvis, he has more than two digits of ways to make this traitor obedient. Even if Black A still has the traitor in mind, he will try his best to hide his thoughts.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Su Xiao asked Eminem to take a handbag and pack some necessities. After a while, the phone on the table rang. After picking up, it turned out to be a call from the Holy City Council, asking him to hurry up.
Rushed to the Parliament House.
"Baha, go find Irene, she will go to the Holy Capital with me."
As Su Xiao spoke, he felt slightly tired. He had not slept for so many days when he went to the Holy Orchid Kingdom. He just happened to catch up on some sleep tonight. As for going to the Parliament House with Irene, who is the vice president,
Naturally, I have to attend such occasions.
After a while, Irene walked into the office, her steps were uneasy. Looking at the folded vomit bag in her hand, she was obviously thinking about how to get to the Holy City.
Su Xiao, Irene, and Amu stood on the teleportation array in the bedroom. The teleportation started with a bang. When the space fluctuations subsided, they had arrived at an empty warehouse in the back streets of the Holy City.
Driving to the Parliament House, when Su Xiao walked into the large chamber of the Parliament House, she found that three of the four senior members were already present. The center table was filled with high-level officials from the alliance, and the second row was filled with representatives of major families.
, and the middle and high-level officials were in the back row. Because there were many people at the scene, the environment was a bit noisy.
Seeing this battle, Irene, who was next to Su Xiao, felt a chill in her heart. Tonight's parliament must have put a madhouse on the fire. In fact, Irene was overly concerned. Considering Su Xiao's strong record after taking office,
As long as the Alliance is not insane, it will not set the madhouse on fire.
Although Su Xiao was qualified to sit in the first row around the table, he chose to sit in the fifth row. Although Irene, who was accompanying him, did not understand, she also sat down beside him. She leaned over and whispered to Su Xiao: "
Dean, you must calm down for a while."
"?"
After Su Xiao glanced at Irene in confusion, she asked Eminem to take the kettle in her handbag and quickly get some boiling water, as the conference hall was about to close.
"Dean, what should we do later?"
Irene was still hesitant in her heart. In terms of ability, Irene still had it. She could be the director of the lunatic asylum, but she had experienced too little in such situations.
"..."
Su Xiao didn't say anything. Seeing this, Irene felt even more uncertain. She looked down at the handbag at her feet. Out of curiosity, she picked it up and opened it with the idea that there was a magic weapon inside.
I saw blankets, tea bags, and even a box of pastries for supper.
Ten minutes later, the door of the chamber slammed shut, and a senior member of Parliament sitting at the head signaled to Mayor Perkin that tonight's session of the chamber could begin.
Under the auspices of Mayor Perkin, the atmosphere in the council was extremely serious. Until they discussed how to deal with the Dark Cult sneaking into the asylum tonight, the council hall became lively. After a while, it developed into family factions, business alliances, and
The reason why the three parties of the bureaucracy are blaming each other is how to deal with this matter, more specifically, how to take revenge against the Dark God Cult, who should take revenge, etc.
Mayor Perkin, who was usually gentle and smiling, was already pointing at the old fox from the opposite family faction, while the four senior council members sitting at the top looked like they were taking a nap and had not heard anything.
"What is our responsibility? For so many years, it was us who dealt with the Dark Cult so that you could make money safely. Now if something goes wrong, you have nothing to do with it, right?"
The old fox puffed his beard and glared, and a number of family officials and senior officials spoke out in support.
"You put..."
Mayor Perkin held back the second half of the sentence, but with just a few words, he shocked the old fox across from him until his blood pressure soared.
If you turn the camera to the four congressmen, the heated atmosphere will calm down immediately. These four have long been accustomed to such scenes, and have developed an expression that looks like they have their eyes open, but are actually half asleep.
If you turn the camera to Su Xiao's side, you will find that Su Xiao is already sitting on the seat, covered with a blanket and asleep, while Irene on the side is dragging the pastry box with one hand and eating a late-night snack.
It was not until late in the night that Su Xiao felt someone nudge her, and a soft voice came to her ear: "Dean, dean, wake up."
"Um?"
Su Xiao opened her eyes. Not to mention, she had a very solid sleep this time around. With the presence of four great congressmen, one can imagine the strength of the parliament's defense. She didn't need to use external senses to catch up on her sleep here.
To be continued...
