When Does This World Have a Blood Bar Displayed?

  Chapter 567 Bird in a Cage

  The city of Tingen is actually not that small.

The population of the urban area and the suburbs is about hundreds of thousands of people. In this age of steam and machinery, it is very rare for a city without any economic pillar or political center to reach such a level. up.

  After getting acquainted with Forsi, Miss Salted Fish Writer, she felt that this "small city" was so big that it made her despair.

If you want to escape here, it seems that it is not so easy, especially in this chaotic period, even the public carriages are paralyzed, and the steam train is naturally impossible to be unaffected. It has temporarily stopped operating, I don’t know When will it be restored.

  —and it blocked her easy escape from Tingen.

  —Fors would never be able to leave the city on foot, cross the countryside, and walk all the way back to Backlund.

  Even if it is really possible, this salted fish would definitely not dare to choose this method. She is seriously insecure now, and even subconsciously suspects that once she leaves a crowded place, she will be poisoned immediately...

Perhaps this is the writer's occupational disease. Too much imagination made Fors suffer from persecution paranoia. In a short period of time, she conceived many terrible conspiracies against herself. This way of dying is played in a loop like a revolving lantern in my mind.

  Already timid, now she scares herself even more. The more she thinks about it, the more afraid she becomes. In the end, Forsi made up her mind.

  She is going to seek shelter from the Orthodox Church!

   From Fowles' point of view, this may be the only self-help method she can take at present. Apart from this, she really can't think of any other good way. Because she not only doesn't know anything, but also doesn't have any combat power. As an "apprentice" of Sequence 9, at best, she can use the special characteristics of the spirit world to pass through obstacles.

  But it can only pass through walls or blocked doors, and the premise is that there is no limit of extraordinary power, and the obstacles are not too thick.

  Except for this extraordinary ability that seems a bit weak, she is no different from ordinary people... Oh, there are still some, ordinary people should be better than her.

But just watching helplessly, doing nothing, simply waiting to die, is not what Forsi wants to see, even if a dog can jump over a wall in a hurry, salted fish will definitely instinctively when encountering life-threatening Jump a few times.

  Maybe it is a good material and beautiful jade who is destined to join the Tarot Society, Forsi's thinking at this moment is surprisingly consistent with the future Mister Fool. That's right, she chose to report herself to the authorities and voluntarily surrendered...

  Although logically speaking, a wild Extraordinary like her should try to avoid contact with the authorities, but when it comes to such a critical moment, who cares so much.

   Ask the authorities for help, at least there is still a chance.

  If you don’t do this, maybe you can’t do it well, and your body will appear in the sewer or some cult sacrificial ceremony in two days.

  Rich imagination and skillful self-persecution made Miss Xianyu burst out with a strong will to survive and unprecedented action. After a preliminary inspection of Tingen's official power distribution, she found that she could easily make a choice. Because just like the mainstream beliefs in the entire Loen Kingdom, Tingen City also mainly believes in the Goddess of the Night, the Lord of Storms, and the God of Steam and Machinery.

  The three major churches are divided according to the situation of believers—

  The Evernight Goddess Church corresponds to the "St. Selina Church" on Red Moon Street.

  The Church of the God of Steam and Machinery corresponds to the "Holy Number Church" in the suburbs.

  The Lord of the Storm Church corresponds to the "River and Sea Church" in Tingen North District.

  Because Fors doesn't know Tingen well, and naturally doesn't know where the city's official Extraordinary organization stronghold is, so she can only find it through the church on the surface.

The Church of the Lord of Storms is located in the northern part of the city, but Forsi was ruled out first. She had heard of some things, especially her friend Hugh had told her specifically about the three major churches that were very important to the wild and extraordinary. differences in attitudes.

  In general, although the three major churches are apparently attacking wild Beyonders, the concepts and styles of the Church of Evernight and the Church of Steam are relatively moderate.

Only the group of storm brothers really caught them fiercely, and they were merciless when they hit them. Forsi just wanted to take risks, but she definitely didn't want to throw herself into a trap and kill herself first, so Pass this option decisively.

  As for the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery located in the outskirts, it is not a good choice either. She does not want to leave the city or places with many people, so she also excludes it.

So-

   Naturally, there is only one choice left, she wants to find the Church of Evernight!

  ...

  ...

   Destiny is not a caged bird.

  However, the fate of the caged bird has long been doomed.

The drama staged in Tingen, the confrontation between the Nighthawks and the Betrayer, the script written by Sealed Object 0-08... All the crimes, all the struggles, and everything that happened have long been linked by lies and tricks, no matter what it is The process and the result are all predetermined.

  Nothing can escape this bondage, from the vast gods beyond the realm of man, to the planets themselves as fine as a mote of dust, everything is in the cage.

   Even the starry sky forms part of this context.

  ...

  ...

  Second Floor, No. 36 Zouterand Street, Blackthorn Security Company.

  Klein paced back and forth in the reception hall, like an ant on a hot pot, running around in a hurry but not knowing what to do.

The reception hall was very quiet, probably because Luo Shan and the others did not come to work today. This quietness spread in the air. Restless silence.

  Especially compared to those crowded, noisy streets where quarrels, scrambles, fights, and bloodshed occurred from time to time, Zouterand Street is terribly quiet today. Looking out from the window on the second floor, one can see the solitude and quietness of the entire street. There is no one who is empty and lifeless. It looks like a silent city where all the residents have disappeared.

  Klein took a deep breath, and he knew this was normal.

  The commercial development of this street is relatively low, and it is usually not very popular.

   At present, almost half of the city's people are gathered in telegraph offices, railway stations, various shops, markets, and even dock warehouses, so naturally they will not appear here. It’s not a characteristic of the times, even in the Earth world before I traveled, wouldn’t this kind of situation also occur, people think there is a crisis in the future, and there will be a wave of panic buying...

  The only difference is that in this era of steam and machinery, the productivity is far from being comparable to the world before he traveled.

  Usually dare not say that the basic needs of the people can be met, let alone at this critical juncture, everyone is desperately trying to hoard more and more supplies. And the more they can't get it, the more panic people will have, and the sense of crisis will be deepened and aggravated, and riots will follow...

   "Klein, I have already reported it to the higher-ups, and "Punisher" and "Mechanical Heart" have also sent reminders—it's just that they lack a convincing reason, and they may find it hard to convince. "

  At this moment, Dunn Smith came out from the corridor.

  The Captain of the Nighthawks frowned tightly, thinking about some troublesome problem, looking somewhat tired.

  The main reason is that he was in charge of the Chanis gate last night, and it didn't end until this morning. It was a very troublesome thing. And just when he was about to go home from get off work to rest, before he had time to go out, he saw Klein rushing into the door in a hurry, bringing a news that sounded alarmist, which also made him feel a lot of pressure.

   Fortunately, Dunn is a very responsible captain, he trusts his teammates.

   Coupled with what happened last night, the situation in Tingen has become chaotic today. It is not impossible if some evil forces really want to take advantage of the fire.

  Considering these factors comprehensively, Dunn responded decisively. He is not a person who is afraid of taking responsibility.

   "Klein, I know that you may have some scruples, or you may have some secrets that you don't want to reveal, but I am very pleased that you can take the initiative to tell me about it..."

   Staring at his trusted team members with those deep gray eyes, Dunn said seriously: "I don't know how you got to know about the conspiracy, but we need more clear information, do you understand?"

"This this…"

  Klein opened his mouth, finally shook his head, and said in a bitter tone: "Captain, I really don't know. The only thing I can guess is that they might want to open some kind of portal to welcome the arrival of evil spirits..."

   This is still the fragment of information he intercepted from the babbling, as for the rest, he really doesn't know anything.

   "Welcome the coming of evil spirits..." Dunn muttered to himself, his expression obviously becoming serious. "If this is the case, this may be beyond what we can handle."

   "Will the church send someone over?"

  Klein asked with a glimmer of hope, if there are some demigods, saints, etc. who come to sit in charge, it must be fine, right?

  Although he also knows that it is not realistic, if there is no conclusive evidence, and a one-sided statement reported by a random person can attract the strong members of the church to come and inspect it, then the church should stop doing other things. It is estimated that at that time, the high-level executives were either exhausted or on the road to exhaustion.

   "It's hard to say..." Dunn shook his head. He didn't really want to discuss this issue, probably because he knew it was not realistic. "In any case, let's do what we should do first... Klein, where was the last time you saw her?"

   "She's...she's..."

  Klein was about to answer when he inadvertently looked out the window.

   At such a moment, his brain went blank, and the rest of the words seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he could no longer spit them out.

  He only felt that his heart was beating non-stop, as piercing as thunder, almost leaving only the huge heartbeat like the beating of a drum in his mind. He lost all his ability to think, and just looked at the end of Zouteland Street. The female figure reappeared, walking towards the Blackthorn Security Company, step by step with a clear goal...

  —As if it unfolded as a matter of course, it seems that the trajectory of fate has been manipulated from the very beginning.

  —No matter what direction you swim in, you will inevitably arrive at the same destiny by different routes.
