Chapter 2651: Professional
Picking up the phone on the table, a somewhat familiar voice came from the receiver. It was Detective · Douglas, and the other party's voice was very anxious.
"Mr. Kuku Lin, I'm sorry to trouble you so soon, but..."
"Location."
"004 Victoria Street."
"Noble district?"
"Yes, these Dark Demons are all crazy. Please arrive as soon as possible. This transcendent event is very tricky. A major in the military died."
"Understood."
Su Xiao hung up the phone, opened the dark compartment inside the wooden table, took out two test tubes, a spray can, and several small instruments from it, and put these items into a leather bag. He walked out of the room, with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha following, while Amu stayed to watch the house, in case hunters came for supplies or Qiyuezhe arrived.
Following the stairs to the main street, after Su Xiao opened the door of the warehouse on the first floor, a steam car was parked inside, with a thin layer of dust on it. The manager of the previous Shelter had a dark-type spatial ability and eventually died from this ability.
"Woof!"
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked, opened the door, and jumped into the driver's seat. Seeing this, Su Xiao opened the door of the back seat, and Baha also drilled in. As for sitting in the passenger seat, except for the iron-headed Amu, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was driving, so it was better to sit in the back seat.
Pshhh~
Steam gushed out, the engine of the steam car started, the levers and gears rotated rapidly, and the sound was both wild and had a unique charm.
Bang!
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang first hit the wall with a reverse gear, the front wheels of the steam car rotated at high speed, moved sideways to turn, and then rushed out directly.
"Xiang Bubu, if I let you drive again, I'm a fool."
Baha's shout came from inside the steam car.
"Woof (You are one anyway)."
Amidst Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's cheerful barking, the steam car knocked down three abandoned street lamp poles and drove onto the main road. After familiarizing itself with the operation method, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's driving skills gradually became smooth, and it could even drift. If it were given a nitrogen acceleration system, it could take off.
004 Victoria Street.
Black old-fashioned cars blocked the surrounding streets, and all civilians within a radius of half a kilometer were evacuated, with the reason being the discovery of dangerous weapons from other countries.
This kind of buck-passing behavior was ignored by all countries. When transcendent events occurred in other countries, the Rhine Kingdom didn't take the blame less often.
Inside the blocked Victoria Street, police officers in uniforms were busy, searching for everything suspicious in the vicinity. Later, this aspect would be taken over by the "Pest Control Company," the so-called "Pest Control Company" was the intelligence department of the Watcher Guild.
Inside a three-story residential building, police officers were entering and leaving one after another. Some of the younger ones rushed into the alley as soon as they went out, and the retching sound continued.
It was not that these police officers had never seen the world, but the atmosphere drifting inside the three-story residential building made them feel resistance and nausea in the depths of their souls.
Detective · Douglas had two cigarettes in his mouth, his brows tightly locked. Even though he had been in contact with transcendent events for more than ten years, every time he entered the scene, he still felt faintly nauseated. He knew why this was. It was the smell of Dark Demons stimulating his soul. The body could adapt, but this kind of repulsion from the soul was something he could never adapt to.
"Ugh~, sir, what is... that smell inside."
A female police officer with a pale face spoke. Seeing her expression, Detective · Douglas felt a bit unbearable in his heart. This was the daughter of his old friend. He originally didn't want her to participate in this case, but manpower was scarce.
"Vina, hold your left little finger tightly, take a deep breath."
Hearing Detective · Douglas's words, Vina did as told. Sure enough, after taking a few deep breaths in this way, the stuffy pressure in her chest dissipated a lot. Clearly, Vina was in contact with such events for the first time.
Regarding transcendent events, civilians only knew a little, understood some, but did not know the specific situation at all. Police officers knew more, but because they did not participate in the whole process, only people like Detective · Douglas knew transcendent events completely.
This was the result that the Rhine Kingdom tried hard to maintain. Not everyone could bear the transcendent power of the Dark Prison. Even if civilians really mastered it, without correct guidance, they would gradually go crazy due to the dark-characteristic transcendent power, and even transform into mindless secondary Dark Demons. The reserve hunters who had undergone cruel training had a probability of more than 70% of losing control when mastering this power, let alone civilians.
What the Rhine Kingdom could do was only to provide civilians with a relatively safe living environment and avoid civilians coming into contact with that dangerous transcendence as much as possible.
"Is this the first incident location?"
A muffled voice came. Vina looked at the sound and almost pulled out the gun at her waist. The person who came was wearing a white rubber suit, wearing a gas mask, and several tubes on the mask were connected to the metal box behind him. This attire looked very suspicious at first glance.
"Don't be nervous, it's the Pest Control Company, they are professionals."
Detective · Douglas greeted him and talked to the person from the Pest Control Company in a low voice.
"Pest Control... Company?"
Vina's brain was a bit dead. She really couldn't figure out what this kind of vicious case had to do with the Pest Control Company.
"I'm relieved that you can come. Who notified you?"
Detective · Douglas spoke in a low voice, and the person from the Pest Control Company didn't say a word.
"By the way, I notified Kuku Lin of the Shelter, and he will arrive soon."
"That adult will come?"
The person from the Pest Control Company seemed a bit surprised, and then relaxed.
"Adult? If you are talking about Kuku Lin, then that's right."
Detective · Douglas looked puzzled. He only knew that the manager of the Shelter had a high status. As for strength, some managers were not as good as old hunters.
"Since that person will come, we don't need to stay."
After saying that, the person from the Pest Control Company took out a signal gun, and with a bang, a nearly colorless signal flare rose into the sky. Not long after, nearly a hundred figures in protective clothing around withdrew.
The people from the Pest Control Company came fast and withdrew even faster, leaving only Detective · Douglas, who was full of confusion.
"Sir, why did those professionals leave?"
Vina was still at a loss. After witnessing the situation inside the three-story residential building for the first time participating in such an event, she felt both shocked and angry in her heart, but also a little secretly happy. The things that the Rhine Kingdom had been hiding, about Dark Demons, hunters, and many mysteries, she was about to know. She was about to become one of the few people who knew the secrets.
With a creak, the tires rubbed against the ground, and a steam car stopped at the street corner in a drifting posture, the hood becoming scorching red due to high temperature.
"Baha, detect all suspicious transcendent targets within a radius of 1 kilometer, kill."
"Alright."
Baha flew into the high sky. Su Xiao took the leather bag and got out of the car. While moving forward, he took out Zhan Long Shan and hung it at his waist.
"Kuku Lin, over here."
Detective · Douglas walked from the front, followed by a female police officer. Su Xiao sensed Douglas's aura, and there was nothing unusual. This was just a somewhat sloppy middle-aged man with a chin full of stubble.
"The incident happened this morning. Half an hour ago, Major Bart's adjutant called us. This matter was classified as a transcendent event..."
Detective · Douglas was very experienced. In a few words, he narrated the situation roughly. In this matter, the attitude of the Rhine Kingdom military was a bit strange. They were prepared to handle it themselves and wanted to activate a secret weapon.
The result was that this matter was denied by the royal family. The royal family was the ruler of the Rhine Kingdom, while the military was a force organization to contain other countries. Because countries would not break out in war, the status of the military was always a bit awkward.
It looked like this on the surface, but it was not. The royal family would allocate large sums of money to the military every year, allowing them to conduct secret research. After obtaining results, they would assist or even replace hunters to deal with Dark Demons. As for the cultivation method of hunters, the Watcher Guild could not make it public, or rather, it could not be made public at all. Without a "certain object" from the Dark Prison, new hunters could not be cultivated. ===== CHAPTER 2652 =====
