Around the square at this moment, hundreds of people in various costumes prostrated themselves, chanting maddening whispers. They looked like ordinary citizens, like policemen maintaining order, like tourists traveling to Loen... In short, these are people who have a reason to be here today.
Beside the prostrate people, more than a dozen stern-faced men in black looked for or made corpses from outside the square, and threw them into the square.
Blood, bone and flesh are mixed together in the square, and the horrible scene makes people can't help but think of the hell in the story. A few people in white robes stepped on the bones and walked inside the square. Each of them held a small bag in their hands, and sprinkled the crystal powder inside on the bones in a certain pattern.
"The crawling people seem to be under mind control... The man in black is a hired mercenary of ordinary people, and the man in white is a member of the mastermind gang... For the time being, it can only be speculated to the current extent. Jenkins, you can find Doro Liz?"
Alexia looked at this scene and asked calmly.
Jenkins took a deep breath and stopped looking at the square, but blinked his eyes again, looking for the familiar light spots from left to right:
"In the basement of the House, there are... 8 benefactors there. Are they bodyguards hired by the royal family? When the accident happened, some people should have reacted in time and fled underground."
"Is there a demigod present?"
she asked again, fully trusting Jenkins' intelligence capabilities.
"There are no underground chambers, but there are around the square. There are two of them in total. But it's strange. Although they look like demigods, they are not strong enough. Could it be that they were forcibly promoted by relying on the power of the contract? Oh, one of them stood On the stone steps in front of the House, he is directing the overall situation, and the other is standing on the highest spire of the side tower of the House, looking at us."
On the spire of the House side tower on the opposite side of the roof is a man with a turban and a hooked nose. His face is quite three-dimensional, which is the characteristic of the main ethnic group of the southern Cheslan Kingdom. He is tall and thin. He also saw Jenkins and Alexia here, but he did nothing. He glanced at them and then looked elsewhere.
"It seemed like that barrier gave them a lot of confidence."
Jenkins said in a low voice, he raised his foot and slammed on the ground, and the precise power control caused the broken ice to shatter and splash. Grab it casually, hold a piece of ice that splashes and is of a suitable size in your hand, and then flick your wrist to throw the ice towards the barrier in the distance.
The flying ice made a whoosh sound in the air, but disappeared out of thin air after touching the barrier. This is not space transfer, but crushed into powder by extremely strong energy.
"You can't rush in rashly."
Jenkins understood this, so he and Alexia retreated temporarily to the ruins downstairs. Alexia can analyze the principle of that layer of barrier, but to crack it, it can't be achieved in a few minutes.
"Before I left Loen to search for ores in the mountains, I left the spiritual magnet to Dolores so that I could contact you. There is a high probability that the magnet is still on her body. Now you project it over immediately, and then use your shadow The ability to pull the real body over."
"how about you?"
"I'm here to find a way to break through the barrier. We must enter the innermost layer. You should first make sure Dolores and Julia are okay."
said the short lady.
Jenkins nodded and was about to agree, when he suddenly remembered that he also carried the magnet that the chocolate was usually transferred to Loen, so he said:
"Why don't we go together..."
"Then who will guard my body and your cat?"
Alexia made the point right away.
Indeed, if they all projected in the past, Alexia's unconscious body and the cat that could not be moved would be left behind, which was a very dangerous behavior.
"I see, then I will help Dolores and Julia first, and wait for the opportunity to find a way to contact the barrier. Help me take care of chocolate..."
As he said that, he took out the cat that had been hiding in his arms all the time. It didn't want to stand on Alexia's shoulders and on top of her head, so it jumped to the ground by itself, and was very dissatisfied because the snow on the ground was too cold.
Because he didn't know what was going on with Dolores, Jenkins was fully prepared before using the spiritual magnet to transfer there.
Facts proved that his preparation was necessary. Just as he appeared in the dim corridor, a bright fireball flew directly over. Before Jenkins even had time to react, he was hit by the fireball, as if he had deliberately appeared in front of the fireball.
The underground structure could not withstand the huge explosion that followed, and the falling masonry almost completely covered Jenkins.
It took a long time after the rumbling collapse ended before he struggled out of the ruins with his face covered in blood, and found that the corridor in the direction the fireball flew from had been completely blown off. Even though he saw the instigator who threw the fireball just now, even though he confirmed through the Eye of Reality that it was a level 3 gifter and was leaving in the opposite direction, he still couldn't catch up to take revenge.
That person didn't come to attack him specifically, but to destroy the passage, but Jenkins just happened to appear in an inappropriate position.
"Damn it!"
He spat blood on the ground, wiped his face with his hands, and the bloody face immediately began to recover. Fortunately, it is now in the projection state, otherwise it will be more troublesome to restore.
After all this was done, the monocle was summoned to obtain dark vision, but Dolores was not found in the corridor behind her. In fact, it was empty, and Jenkins scrambled through the rubble for a long time before finding Dolores' handbag.
The expensive small bag is now so damaged by stones and explosions that it cannot be seen clearly, but the sapphire inlaid on the lock is still intact. In addition to the spiritual magnet, there are also some personal items such as handkerchiefs, private seals, and perfume in the bag. Jenkins is very worried about the reason why this bag appears here.
After packing everything up, he returned to Alexia and told the lady what happened underground. Alexia thought about it, and insisted that Jenkins go find Dolores instead of staying here:
"Although Dolores' luck has always been good, we're all worried about her, aren't we?"
"I understand, there is no need to delay, then I will use my real body to go directly to the underground of the House, Alexia, you have to be careful here."
He lowered his head and kissed the short lady on the forehead.
"Be careful too, I will take good care of your cat."
The cat squatted at the front end of the broken pillar raised up in the ruins, and said "meow~" to indicate that it was safe. It knew that Jenkins' trip would not be in danger, because the trip to the northern cities had only just begun.
