Chapter 47

Seeing that he was about to fall asleep, the madman suddenly woke up, shook his head vigorously, and then rushed forward with a roar. As the carriage passed by, the lunatic picked up a rein leading the horse and flung it out with a whimper.

Jeffrey quickly raised the short stick to block it, but the rope entangled his arm, and the lunatic pulled hard, causing the pale-skinned man to fall in the direction of his opponent involuntarily.

The lunatic grabbed a sharp piece of glass from the window of the carriage next to him. He seemed to be able to turn everything he got at hand into a weapon, so he grabbed the glass and rushed over, aiming at Jeffrey's neck.

Suddenly the lunatic sensed something, stopped, and stepped back.

At this moment, the rein broke, and a gunshot sounded from the side of the street. Sifa looked and saw Lewis, wearing black-rimmed glasses, running towards him.

Lewis aimed at the madman's head just now, but he didn't expect the other party's keen sense to escape him.

Probably feeling that he couldn't deal with both Lewis and Jeffrey at the same time, the lunatic threw the piece of glass like a throwing knife, forcing Jeffrey who was rushing over with a short stick, turned and ran towards the outer wall of a villa.

Lewis shot again and again from behind, but still let the lunatic climb over the fence. The police officer yelled: "Catch him, don't let him get away!"

Judging from their appearance, they were planning to chase that lunatic, and Xifa hurriedly shouted from behind: "Mr. Lewis, if you have a chance, ask that guy who Hammerk is, and he should tell you. We will talk about the details later. "

Lewis was full of doubts, but he still nodded, and he also climbed over the wall and disappeared from Xifa's sight.

Just now, Xifa shot the lunatic in the capacity of "Heymerk's subordinate", just to give the lunatic the illusion that "he was betrayed by Heymerk".

He also deliberately missed the point, so that if he can subdue the lunatic, he should be able to induce him to reveal the information of 'Haymoke'. A person who can get a response from the gods by modifying the spell is probably not a simple thing.

Such a person is more dangerous than that lunatic.

"Do you want to follow?"

Cifer shook his head, deciding to go home. Originally, he wanted to chase after him as a 'Duke', but he was worried about being exposed, so he decided to give up.

Walking on the golden champagne avenue, Xifa felt that the potion residue had digested a little more.

He carefully recalled the incident just now, and realized that even under the previous conditions, he was still unconsciously playing the role of a hunter, still laying traps and hunting prey.

It's just that the 'prey' at that time was not the lunatic himself, but the information revealed by the lunatic. As for the trap, it was the language I used, especially the so-called "reward" I gave to the lunatic at the end, whether it was the sentence "You don't need to live anymore" or the shot that shot him in the chest, they were all different. A formal snare and trap!

"So, for the hunter, the prey is not necessarily something alive?"

"It's really fun to act like that."

Not long after Xifa left, a croak sounded from a street lamp.

A black crow with red eyes flew into the night sky and dropped two jet-black feathers.

It was more than an hour before I saw Lewis again. The inspector wearing black-rimmed glasses and Martha with red wavy hair came to visit, and Xifa received them in the lobby.

"Sir, has the prisoner been caught?" Sifa asked this key question as soon as he saw them.

Lewis nodded, and took out the notebook from his pocket: "To be precise, he is dead. He fought fiercely. In that kind of battle, we cannot capture him alive."

Xifa asked nervously again: "Then did you ask about 'Haymoke'?"

"I asked, but this matter cannot be disclosed to the outside world, so... I'm sorry." Lewis habitually lifted his glasses frame and got to the point, "Mr. Xifa, I'm curious, why did you remind me just now Ask about Haymerk's information?"

Xifa did not intend to hide anything about this matter, and said frankly: "After I was attacked on the road, in order to protect myself, I had a flash of inspiration and lied that I was a subordinate of Haimoke. I read that diary, I knew the prisoner had been taught by Haymerk, and I thought it might work, but I didn't hold out much hope."

"After all, as long as people with a normal head will not easily believe such words."

"I don't know why, but the prisoner actually believed it. It's really ridiculous, but it's true."

"It seems that his head is not working well. But fortunately, I saved my life because of it."

"Then."

In this way, Xifa revealed all the conversations between himself and the lunatic, including the subsequent shooting as a subordinate of Haimoke.

Of course, Xifa claimed that his shot was originally intended to kill the prisoner, but he dodged it and missed the vital point.

Having seen the man's keen senses with his own eyes, Lewis has no doubts about it.

Instead, he sighed: "Mr. Xifa really made a mistake and extracted so much useful information from that guy."

Xifa deliberately asked back: "Is it useful? I heard what he said about the channel, the spiritual world, and thought he was insane and talking nonsense."

"But later he mentioned the coming of the gods. I remembered that he also mentioned the gods in his diary, so I wrote down these words."

"If the officer finds it useful, then my efforts are not in vain."

Xifa asked half truthfully and half intentionally: "Sir, there is no real god coming, right?"

Lewis said with a serious expression: "That's just a lunatic's nonsense, Mr. Seafar, you don't need to take it to heart. The most important thing now is to find that monster named 'Gory'."

Xifa pondered and said: "The lunatic said it is in a safe place. Our Enqi Town is not big, and there is almost no place where we can safely store a monster."

The red-haired lady Martha reminded: "Didn't the prisoner hide the monster in the mountain? Perhaps, he did the old trick again?"

"Is it hidden in Mount Ebury? That's possible." Xifa stood up and said, "That's all right. I'll take you to find someone tomorrow. He is very familiar with Mount Ebury."

"If the monster is really hiding on the mountain, then he should be able to lead us to find it!"

Lewis and Martha exchanged glances, stood up and said, "Okay, let's do this, we will visit again tomorrow."

Leaving the Baron's Mansion and sitting in the carriage back to the hotel in town, Martha sighed and said, "Captain, you must have forgotten again."

"You've already used that 'lucky coin' in the pursuit of the criminal, which prevented the fight from spreading to the town."

"So next, you will be quarantined for 24 hours, and you will not be able to participate in any operations tomorrow."

Lewis touched his forehead: "I seem to have really forgotten, but I can't let that monster go. You heard it too, it has become a 'channel', and its state is both in the spirit world and in reality."

"I've never heard of such a thing, and besides, it's about to become a vehicle for the coming of the gods."

"Although I said that it was just a lunatic's nonsense, but you and I both know that this matter may become a fact."

Masha took out the candy box, but did not open it, did not take out the candy, she said seriously: "Captain, this is probably beyond our ability."

"Should you consider informing them?"

Lewis glanced at her: "They? You mean, red gloves?"
