"That's it..." he said. "I'm not sure if I should let the news spread... at least not to the fur traders."
"Seeds?" Hitzfeld frowned.
Did the soil that was spread earlier hide the seeds of Fair Lawrence?
But why does he have seeds... Isn't he the seed of destruction himself? Could it be that the seed of destruction can be infinitely dispersed and resurrected in this way?
impossible!
She denied the speculation immediately.
If this is true, the Seed of Destruction is too powerful.
Previously, a "Desire Abnormal" destroyed the entire continent of Laceres, forcing Sarah to develop the secret-keeper system and sacrifice Ferdinand's family to ensure order and stability.
If the seeds of suspicion can still split, where can they find so many Ferdinands?
If something like this appears or erupts once, the entire Sara civilization and the social order built on it will collapse!
"Seal off the scene." She whispered to Xia Yibing, "No matter how we deal with it, the threat is in this thatched house. Just lock it up and don't allow anyone to leave under any excuse."
Xia Yibing didn't say anything, but frowned and looked down at the girl.
There was anger and worry in her eyes, because she knew that the reason why she had such authority was not just because she was the captain of Team 17. The most important and core reason was that she was one of the few people who was not splashed by the mud.
People who were not splashed by the mud were completely unlikely to be parasitized by the seeds. She certainly knew how she got into this situation, but she was not happy about it at all.
She would even rather Hitzfeld was the one holding this authority, rather than being forced to label the girl as a suspect as she is now.
Because all the dust flying towards me was blocked by her...
"I'm not sure if the Dead Forest has erupted before. But I think its seeds should have never parasitized the Devourer." Hitzfeld raised his lip to her, "Don't worry, not to mention that it may not be me, even if the seeds are in my place, it may not be able to parasitize successfully."
But there has never been any evidence that it can’t be done.
Unlike her optimism, Zafira and Ethan both looked gloomy.
Anyone who is not a fool can understand the meaning of this conversation.
Hitzfeld was sprinkled with dirt.
Then she is also a suspect.
After taking a deep breath, Xia Yibing did not hesitate any longer.
She first comforted the civilians at the scene and asked them to remain quiet, and then began to investigate who was covered in dirt during the battle.
The statistics are very disturbing.
The monster threw two handfuls of dirt, one at the police force that was besieging it, and one at the fur traders huddled in the thatched hut.
The soil that was sprinkled on the police force, except for Ethan and Zafira who were standing on the left and right sides and were completely unaffected, only Xia Yibing could be 100% sure of her "purity".
The police officers could monitor each other, so it was difficult for them to lie about this matter. Those vague and uncertain testimonies were listed as suspects, and they were driven into the inner part of the thatched house and stayed with the fur traders.
There is no need for the fur traders to confirm.
They are so close together that they all look like parasites.
Then, Xia Yibing asked Ethan and Zafira to confiscate all the weapons from this group of people.
After doing all this, amid the whispers of the merchants and the puzzled and puzzled gazes of the police officers, Hitzfeld took a step inside, turned around, and faced his three former companions.
She raised her right hand, glanced at the bright silver revolver, and casually threw it out, landing with a bang five meters away.
"The suspects should be here." She said in a clear voice, "Agent Anmi is here, please seal off this place."
Just as he finished speaking, a burst of dense footsteps rushed into the thatched house.
Led by Agent Anmi's iconic sturdy physique, a team of at least thirty black-clad policemen also squeezed in, looking at the scene in front of them in a daze.
There was a strange corpse lying on the ground... Was this Fair Lawrence?
It was resolved so quickly?
But what about the group of people behind the corpses…Why are colleagues huddled together with civilians and piling their weapons and guns aside?
"Captain Xia Sha..." Agent Anmi walked forward and lowered his voice to inquire about the situation.
"As you can see, Fair Lawrence was cursed by evil and turned into a monster."
Xia Yibing spoke, but she was facing the crowd directly.
There was no attempt to conceal her voice, ensuring that everyone in the hut could hear what she said.
"After our analysis, this monster is likely to have the ability to parasitize. Its seeds... may be hidden in the two handfuls of soil that I just sprinkled on you!"
boom!
As soon as these words came out, the crowd on Hitzfeld's side exploded.
"not me!"
"It's not me either!"
"I wasn't spilled! I wasn't spilled!"
"It's me who didn't get spilled! How dare you, the one standing in the way?"
The disarmed police officers looked gloomy, but didn't say much.
But those businessmen are different, they are very good at observing people's words and expressions.
The current situation clearly shows that they are being treated as suspects!
Judging from the rumored ruthless methods used by the black-clad police, if the real parasite cannot be found among them in the end, it is possible that they will all be killed!
Appeal!
Must appeal!
Is that so?
Agent Anmi broke out in a cold sweat instantly.
He stared with wide eyes at the twenty or so former colleagues, meeting eyes filled with anger and anxiety, feeling regretful but also a little relieved.
The regret was naturally that he was late. If he had come earlier, he might have been able to subdue the monster more quickly and not give it time to spread its seeds.
Being glad is also being glad that I was late.
Because of his late arrival, he could ensure that he could stand here... instead of standing with a group of suspects like Aisuen Hitzfeld.
Um! ?
With a sudden start, he realized: This famous young female detective was also listed as a suspect?
Has the situation gotten that bad?
"Inspector Anmi! Here, look at me!"
"Sheriff! Sheriff! Look at me! Look at me!"
During this brief moment of hesitation, the merchants' unrest intensified and was threatening to develop into a riot.
Everyone was pushing forward, their eyes red, shouting words of defense, some even started taking off their clothes to prove their innocence.
Although there were more than 20 police officers blocking them, the temporary defense line formed by these people blocked them. But even these police officers themselves were suspicious of their targets. Their minds were full of confusion, and their execution ability was less than half of the usual level.
Many gaps were immediately created, and a few people sneaked out and ran to the other side.
Dangerous.
Hitzfeld immediately looked at the police force across the street, but found that most of them were still confused, just staring blankly at these people running towards them.
A few of them who realized the seriousness of the situation had already drawn their guns, but judging from the hesitation on their faces and the fact that they kept looking at Anmi, it was impossible to expect them to fire warning shots.
"boom!"
A gunshot rang out, and the man running in front fell down.
The other escapees were stunned. They quickly slowed down their pace and stopped. They looked at the body lying on the ground, then at the woman with a ponytail holding a pistol. For a moment, they didn't know how to react.
As if the throat was suddenly choked by the gunshot, the thatched house returned to silence within seconds.
The businessmen stopped rushing forward. Instead, they stood together with the police officers who had intercepted them and looked at the body at the same time. The confusion and uneasiness on their faces were quickly turning into extreme fear.
"do not panic!"
Seeing this, Hitzfeld immediately turned around to comfort them.
"Information about this monster is almost here... Please trust them and believe that they have the ability to find possible parasites!"
data.
trust.
These two words were like a basin of ice water that extinguished some crazy fantasies, and also like a cluster of warm flames that gave them a glimmer of hope.
The growth of fear was suspended.
Under the supervision of Agent Anmi, these people found a place to sit down and began to wait, temporarily relaxing their nerves that had been tense for too long.
Seeing this scene, Hitzfeld finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for what you did just now."
Xia Yibing's voice came from behind.
She saw it clearly, and if the girl hadn't spoken to comfort her, the most extreme fear would have been tantamount to madness.
By then, these people - and maybe even the police officers - will go crazy.
If they were determined to rush out of the hut regardless of the consequences, why would they stop them?
Just relying on the few guns in his hands and those confused rookies brought by Anmi who haven't figured out the situation yet?
But she did not regret firing that shot.
Because that's...
"You shouldn't have such thoughts."
But she was interrupted by the girl.
"From this moment on, you should treat me as a real suspect and doubt whether the reason I spoke out is because I am the parasite and I am just using this method to protect myself."
Xia Yibing was stunned.
Ethan, Zafira, Hem... and Anmi who followed were all stunned.
"It's not that I take it too seriously."
Hitzfeld stared at them.
“Without this awareness, you may not be able to find it.”
Chapter 31: Level 9 Files: Death Tree
The thatched house was blocked, but it greatly eased the defense pressure of the entire town.
Just think about it... To perfectly block the entire town, the manpower and energy required here far exceeded that of blocking a mere thatched house. Anmi was able to free up some manpower, and he used these 44 people to organize four patrol teams, constantly running around on the streets to guard.
In the lobby of Sheena's House, Ethan paced back and forth in the aisle in annoyance.
A preliminary investigation of the kitchen has been completed, and it has been basically confirmed that there are no toxins in the ingredients used by Lao Xige.
It has been fed separately to experimental animals, and all the test subjects have not shown any adverse reactions so far. If it were poisonous, this should obviously not be the result.
Then the only explanation for Fair Lawrence's abnormality is... it is entirely his own mutation.
"The messenger hasn't arrived yet?" Ethan turned to look at Zafira with a bad look on his face. "It's such an important thing... Such a dangerous mission! They should have given us the files in advance!"
"You know the rules of the bureau. Whenever we encounter a similar situation, we temporarily seek intelligence support from a nearby base. This rule is not easy to break. The director has people from Vista watching him all the time."
Zafira frowned slightly, hesitated and added: "You have changed, Ethan. You were not so anxious before."
"That's Hitzfeld!" Ethan growled, "Her analytical ability is the best among us! She's been waiting for this information!"
The information is coming soon.
Aishun Hitzfeld was denied the privilege of viewing it.
This blow was a heavy one for Team 17, because the girl was also their target of protection.
The protected objects have fallen into their current situation, being forced to stay with a group of parasitic targets that could explode in danger at any time...reality is simply slapping them in the face, calling them trash by name.
