"Just for your own justice, you can ignore everything?"
"Then I have committed a crime too! I was the one who killed Horus!"
"I won't leave! Just let them arrest me too!"
"Helen, I—"
Bram wanted to say something, but he suddenly heard a "click".
Turning around, the gray-haired girl in a black skirt held the Prang in one hand, with the muzzle of the gun pointed straight at this side.
"Hitzfeld..."
His eyes widened.
"you……"
"As a salaried secret policeman, I also have my responsibilities."
Hitzfeld interrupted.
"Agent Aishun Hitzfeld was chasing fugitive Dante Bram and his accomplice lover, and emptied his magazine at them through this gap."
"Bang bang bang bang-"
In sync with the voice, she pulled the trigger and emptied all the bullets in the Planck.
"…Then we lost the ability to pursue them and had to let them escape."
"..."
Bram and Helen stood there in a daze.
They looked at her, then at the outlines of the bullet holes around her, and for a moment they were speechless.
"then!"
Hitzfeld raised his hand and threw something over.
Bram reached out to catch it, and when he looked closer, he saw that it was actually a ruby the size of a baby's fist.
“A gift from both Furken and Paul.”
"I think you'll need it."
"But..." Bram was still a little hesitant.
"Dant!"
Helen's call made him turn back.
Face to face with a passionate kiss.
Maybe only for a moment.
Perhaps a full century had passed.
Letting go of Helen, he saw love burning like a flame in the girl's eyes.
Nodding, he finally changed his mind completely.
Pulling the girl, he took one last look at the gray-haired girl, and the two of them staggered up the shore, quickly disappearing around the corner of the path.
"Oh My God!"
Darent came running out of the cave in shock, just in time to see them disappear.
"look at you!"
"Agent! Aisun Hitzfeld!"
"Look what you have done!"
"..."
Hitzfeld was so tired that he half-knelt down and rolled his eyes at him unhappily when he heard that.
Installed.
Just know how to pretend!
Sometimes she really suspected that Darent was the reincarnation of a drama queen.
Was it the same before he turned into a wooden man?
"just kidding."
Darent chuckled and sat down beside him.
"But don't you regret it?"
"You've just started this business. Maybe in the future you'll have more mature ideas. Looking back on today..."
"No matter what, I won't regret it."
Hitzfeld interrupted.
"Halfway through this case, I once doubted what we were working so hard for."
“The human heart, human nature… there are so many ugly things in this world.”
"My wife sacrificed herself, countless people sacrificed themselves, and maybe I will sacrifice myself in the future too."
“But they’re not going away, they’re always going to be there.”
“I was confused and didn’t know what the point was of repeating this cycle.”
“But now I’ve figured it out.”
She grinned and looked up at the starry sky, but her mind was filled with images of the doctor and Helen kissing.
"That's the reason."
……
[I will never, ever forget the spring of 1984 in Barvik.]
The candlelight flickered.
One character after another follows the tip of the pen and is printed on the page.
[Not only did I gain experience and grow, I also found my own path.]
[I realized the meaning of life and was able to distinguish between the real beauty and the false ugliness.]
The pen tip pauses.
[Perhaps this is the lady's belief.]
Don't let her down.
[Agent, Esuan Hitzfeld.]

……
Then let’s talk about the summary.
The logic of this case is generally simple, as can be seen from the length of the article. It is a structure in which a person receives a commission and traces history step by step to uncover the truth.
But it’s different from the first case, the Golem Curse Case.
It doesn't have so many big scenes, and even the evil gods and evil spirits are only weakly portrayed in this case.
What is more highlighted is the interaction with people, and 1-2 supporting characters are portrayed slightly.
This was of course intentional, because this was a case that connected the previous and the next, and Hitzfeld needed to learn to control his thinking, remain cautious, and most importantly - recognize human nature.
Of course, the rhythm may not be well controlled, which makes some readers feel uncomfortable.
You can rest assured about this, because little Hitzfeld will basically never be humiliated again. This is just a small price to pay in the process of her learning to use her wisdom.
Let’s talk about human nature.
I never reject the idea that human nature is disgusting and dirty, but I am also always willing to believe in its beautiful side.
It is said that eyes are the windows to the soul, and you can tell what a person is thinking by looking into his eyes.
This sentence may have some artistic processing.
But in this case, the Balvik Phantom Case, it manifests itself in many aspects.
Greedy gaze.
The gaze of the evil spirit.
Nightmare gaze.
The gaze of people’s hearts.
Desire, suspicion...even Hitzfeld's mysterious left eye watching over everything.
(If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to guess that those whispers come from the vengeful spirits who died tragically in the gold rush town that year.)
So I didn't end up naming this volume "The Shadow of Balvik", but instead changed it to this more abstract title.
I hope its horror is not simply reflected in evil spirits and monsters.
As for the final ending.
Well, the inspiration came from Cinema Paradiso.
That's it, then!
I finished writing it all in one go today. I will take a day off on October 10nd to figure out the plot of the third case.
Updates will be delayed for a few hours

Chapter 1 New Life
Before we knew it, spring is almost over.
This world - well, actually Hitzfeld secretly gave it a name, called "Long Summer" - the spring of Long Summer is very short, and it ends at the end of the Bud Moon (March) and the beginning of the Flower Moon (April).
So its summer is really long... It starts from the rainy month (April) and enters autumn at the end of the hot month (July).
She was still counting on her fingers the agreement she had made with Xia Yibing.
The other party said that she would find time to come and see her again this summer.
But before that, she had to get used to the test of fate.
After all, if Mrs. Gulliver's strictness is 10, Mapes-Dallent's is 100.
"I'm here to see you again! Hitzfeld!"
It was another Saturday, and as usual, Hitzfeld was awakened from his dream by someone's loud voice.
She sprained her knees in bed for a long time until the sound of banging on the door started downstairs.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Wake up! Aisuen Hitzfeld!!"
"Boom boom boom!"
"Hurry up and get up and open the door for me! If you don't want me to come in and see you sleeping!"
"..." The gray-haired girl sat up suddenly, her face looking frighteningly gloomy.
But she still knew what she should do... She jumped out of bed barefoot, rushed to the bathroom to take a shower, then quickly tied her hair up, put on her underwear and skirt, and took out a roll of white silk stockings from the drawer of the wardrobe and put them on her legs and feet.
The whole process took exactly 10 minutes. She continued to listen and the sound of banging on the door downstairs continued.
But now she was no longer panicked. She did not open the door. She put on her blindfold, sat down at the table calmly, and opened the book "1001 Life-saving Techniques - Intermediate and Advanced Spirit Rituals" which she had not finished reading last night and continued reading.
