Apocalypse: Counterattack of a Cannon Fodder

Chapter 393: A city-wide investigation

Views:

Tang Shi sat on a chair in the office, closing his eyes and relaxing.

During the recent period, he had to go to the trial meeting every day. Every judge was very busy. The reason was naturally related to the appearance of demon servants in Azurite City. Moreover, the incident of Mei Hanxing also sounded the alarm to the higher-ups. Demon warriors do not have only one identity. They should have their own life circle in normal times. This is the case for Mei Hanxing. He not only took root in Blue Crystal City, but also single-handedly founded a silver-level team such as the Dragon Pillar Awakening Team.

His identity is very important in a B-level gathering place like Azure City. After all, a B-level gathering place cannot have many silver-level teams, so Mei Hanxing is a demon warrior and is placed in Azure City. nails, this matter involves a lot. As the captain of the silver-level team, he usually has complicated personal relationships. There are many people involved with him. It would take a lot of time to investigate everyone one by one.

The investigation of internal matters is naturally left to the Tribunal, while the Awakening Army is strengthening the protection outside the city. During this period, everyone is nervous and very busy. Tang Shi and Yanxu are busy with their own duties. There wasn't much time to meet in person, so we had to contact him by phone instead. If we left Azure City, we would have to use vision skills to contact him. However, Yanxu made a request to Tang Shi not to leave Azure City.

No matter how arrogant the demon servants are, if they want to make big moves in the Blue Crystal City, they will definitely be discovered. What's more, they are still targeting Tang Shi. If he goes outside the city again, he will undoubtedly be a sheep in the tiger's mouth. Maybe those demon servants will He was hiding somewhere waiting for Tang Shi to appear.

After the experience of Xianglong City being breached from inside the city, every gathering place in the future not only strictly enforced city defense, but also did not relax the defense inside the gathering place. There are patrol teams in the city at all times. If any abnormality is found, report it immediately. Normally That's it, now that Mei Hanxing's incident happened, he is just more cautious and strict than before.

However, the truth of this matter has not been leaked. When the trial committee secretly visited, they did not make a big move to cause a commotion. At most, the people felt that there seemed to be a lot more patrols recently, and there were no other changes.

Mei Hanxing must have been lurking in Blue Crystal City for a long time. His ultimate goal was unknown, but the appearance of Tang Shi disrupted his plan to continue lurking. He had previously wanted to make friends with Tang Shi, and gradually hinted at Tang Shi. , they have an uncle-nephew relationship, so they should be close and help each other.

Tang Shi has no relatives alive now. Thinking about Mei Hanxing, as long as he knows that there is still an uncle alive, he will definitely be very happy and feel close to him. In such a mixed new era, having relatives is quite a big deal. Yu has something to rely on.

However, Mei Hanxing did not expect that Tang Shi could be so calm and turn a blind eye even though he knew each other's identities, and yet he hid it for so long because he was eager to get the "Mei Family Treasure" in Tang Shi's hands. His identity was easily leaked.

Maybe Mei Hanxing didn't expect that Tang Shi could escape his trap.

When he agreed on the location with Tang Shi, he made arrangements secretly. He had already thought that Tang Shi knew his identity but was still so alienated. He wanted to use gentle and affectionate affection to influence him and let him hand over the Mei family's treasure. , was already impossible, so during this meeting, he laid a trap. As long as things couldn't be negotiated, he would first control Tang Shi and then make plans. So what if he was in the hero stage with intermediate strength? The six demon servants he secretly placed were definitely more than enough to deal with one Tang Shi.

This was almost a certainty. The first two times Tang Shi came to meet him, he was alone, so this time Mei Hanxing didn't expect that Tang Shi actually had arrangements. Originally, he was trying hard to expose his identity and capture Tang Shi. But when the time comes, what if Tang Shi knows his identity? He was already under control and had no way to send news out. As far as Mei Hanxing was concerned, there was no threat.

It's a pity that despite all the calculations, Tang Shi came prepared this time, and his strength was stronger than Mei Hanxing imagined, and there was the killing god Yan Xu waiting outside. It was originally going very smoothly. The plan has become extremely difficult.

This was not the first time that Mei Hanxing had fought against Tang Shi and Yan Xu. The first head-to-head confrontation was outside Lincheng, and then outside Blue Crystal City. He had some understanding of the strength of the two of them, but unfortunately, his understanding was all. It was obtained on the basis that the two people did not try their best. They could not see through the real strength of these two people. This was why he was completely defeated and died on the spot.

Recently, I have been investigating those who were involved with Mei Hanxing. When they heard that Mei Hanxing was a demon servant, they were so frightened that they turned pale and could not speak complete words.

In Huazun Domain, even a three-year-old child knows the bad reputation of the Demon Server. Anyone involved with the Demon Server will be immediately sent to the Tribunal for review. As long as the matter involving the Demon Server is confirmed, he will be sent in. Almost none of them came out, so when the matter was investigated on them, they were all frightened and turned pale. They gave various explanations and distanced themselves from the relationship, just to protect Mingzhe.

After being controlled for many days, the Dragon Pillar Awakeners team investigated one by one. The Awakeners who had no abnormality had already left the Dragon Pillar Awakeners team. This silver-level team had already been captured by Blue Crystal City when the disaster occurred that day. The top management announced the disbandment. However, this does not mean that the awakened ones inside will be free. After investigation, people who have nothing to do with the matter must be confirmed before they can leave and gain freedom. Anyone with the slightest trace of wrongdoing will be taken away. Return to the tribunal for review.

Because Tang Shi was a direct participant in this matter, Tang Shi was naturally responsible for investigating the Longzhu Awakening team's home base. After many days of investigation, only five people were the most suspect. Three of them disappeared without reason, and only two people. When he was about to leave, he was blocked by people from the Tribunal, and he was captured on the spot and taken back to the Tribunal.

During the routine questioning and examination, the two people insisted that they knew nothing. After many days of examination, they could not find any useful clues. Finally, they found traces on the list of members of the Dragon Pillar Awakening team. Those three people left the Dragon Pillar Awakeners team in a hurry after Mei Hanxing was executed. Instead of returning to their residence, they drove directly out of the city and disappeared without a trace. The other two people also wanted to leave, but were a step too late and were killed. The trial will be blocked and it will be impossible to leave.

Even after all the evidence was presented, the two people still refused to admit their connection with the Demon Server. They were so angry that the censors just wanted to look at them, but they also knew that they were more valuable alive than dead.

After Tang Shi finished investigating the Dragon Pillar Awakening team, he joined the security investigation of Blue Crystal City and was very busy every day. Now that he could finally take a breather, he leaned on the chair and took a nap. The only reason why a lazy person like Tang Shi could work so hard was because he didn't want to see Lan Jingcheng become the second Xiang. Dragon City, not to mention that this incident started because of him, so he should act more cautiously.

But he didn't sleep for long when someone knocked on his office door.

Tang Shi rubbed his eyebrows but did not open his eyes, "Come in."

Jin Jue opened the door and came in. He saw Tang Shi looking tired and his eyes were a little unbearable, "You didn't sleep last night?"

"I checked two places, what's the matter?" Tang Shi looked drowsy.

The two people who came in with Jin Jue looked at each other a little bit when they saw the "Spirit King" judge looking so sleepy.

Tang Shi seemed to feel an outsider coming in. When he opened his eyes, he saw the two of them.

Jin Jue said: "They are censors."

Tang Shi looked at Jin Jue and then moved to the two examiners. The identity of the examiner is naturally incomparable with that of the judge. The judge is the person with the most power in the tribunal after the president and vice president. The identity of the examiner is, at best, responsible for examining those suspects who were captured. These two people were responsible for examining the two suspects brought back from the Dragon Pillar Awakening Team.

Seeing them coming over, thinking that the review had produced results, Tang Shi asked, "Did you find anything useful?"

The two examiners were quite respectful, "No, but they are willing to speak, but there are conditions."

"What are the conditions?" Tang Shi captured these two people from the Longzhu Awakener team. He should be responsible for it, but he was not good at examining and questioning, so he could only hand them over to his own examiners. The trial meeting Someone will be sent to supervise them, so Tang Shi can continue to do other work.

The censor said: "They want to talk to you in person, but if they can't see you, they won't tell you."

Tang Shi frowned, then quickly relaxed, stood up and said, "Let's go."

Tang Shi took the lead and walked in front, followed by the two examiners and Jin Jue, all the way to the examination room of the trial meeting.

The trial chamber's examination room is made of metal from another world. It has high purity and strong defense. It is absolutely impossible to destroy it from the inside. Even if they are awakened people, they cannot escape from the examination room. .

There were many examination rooms, each of which was a silver-white metal hut. Tang Shi came to the door of the room where the two suspects were closed, and the examiner who followed behind stepped forward to open the door.

Tang Shi didn't say much, and just as he was about to go in, Jin Jue suddenly said: "Be careful."

Tang Shi paused, nodded, and went inside. The censor outside the door locked the door again to prevent any accidents.

The two arrested suspects were handcuffed onto fixed metal chairs and sat at a distance on either side of the metal room. The room was very bright. The pure silver metal walls were even more dazzling under the light. There was a surveillance camera installed in the corner of the examination room. When Tang Shi came in, the camera moved, apparently recording the person coming. Got in.

The eyes of the two people were a little hazy. I wonder if they were hanging here all the time and being exposed to the strong light. They looked a little listless and their faces were sallow.

"I'm here, tell me if you need anything." Tang Shi's hatred with the Demon Warrior has been forged. As long as the Demon Warrior is involved, he will show no mercy.

Hearing Tang Shi's voice, a man sitting on the right side of the room raised his head slightly, his eyes were blurry, as if he was looking at Tang Shi, but not like looking at him, and a bit like he was identifying the person in front of him. His eyes were very strange. , the expression is even weirder, like a dead corpse that has been frozen for a long time. Now it wants to move its dying muscles, but apart from the stiffness and distortion, it can no longer make any unnecessary expressions.

Look at the man on the left, his head is hanging down at the moment, as if he has passed out. Tang Shi frowned, wondering how they became like this. They were not like this when they were arrested. Could it be that the examiner used torture

The man on the right tugged at his stiff face, grinning, trying to show a smile, but that look was even more creepy, and his scalp was numb. Tang Shi had seen a lot of weird things, and they were so weird, not at all. It will affect Tang Dynasty.

A wisp of black smoke suddenly rose from the man's hazy eyes, flying directly out of his eyes and hitting the camera in the corner.

When Tang Shi saw the wisp of black smoke rising from the man's eyes, his whole heart lifted up. When he saw the black smoke shooting towards the camera again, it quickly turned into a thin layer of black gas, completely covering the camera. It was covered, then bounced back into the man's body and disappeared.

Everything happened in an instant. Tang Shi felt his heart beat faster and even his breathing became unsteady. The reason was naturally not that he was scared, but that the feeling of black smoke rising from the man's eyes made him so... familiar!
