The topic of cannibalism made Jenkins feel a strong sense of discomfort. Although he was physically strong, he was still sweating white in the cold wind. Of course, it could also have something to do with a cat that is too warm on the chest.
"Yes, it was eaten."
Judging from his expression, the discomfort in Captain Bincy's heart should be stronger than that of Jenkins, after all, he has seen the remains of corpses.
"I don't want to discuss this issue. Well, to make a long story short: it was the lady who was invited by the victim, Mr. Stan, to eat Mr. Stan. At first we thought it was a troll disguised as a human, but later found out that the woman showed Its behavior is more like that of a praying mantis. Did you know that after mating, a female praying mantis will... "
"I see."
Jenkins covered his face and nodded. He had heard of such things: "If this is the case, then this is indeed a tragedy. But what caused this to happen? Where is the lady now?"
"I don't know, I won't know until she is caught. There are three teams around here, and we are only in charge of the station area. Divination shows that the woman is in the block near the station."
As he spoke, Captain Bincy looked back, but found nothing unusual.
"I understand, oh, you don't have to care about me, please continue to work, I will leave soon. Get out of here, go home and rest."
Jenkins nodded in agreement, then looked in the direction of Miss Rick and Garcia again. Captain Bincy also felt that he had explained almost the same, so he led the members of the team to scatter around to search.
"Mother mantis and man, what is the reason? The experiment of the evil bestower? The awakening of the ancient bloodline? The mysterious unknown alien species? Some kind of strange thing?"
Jenkins lowered his eyelids and thought, and walked towards his companions with a cane, intending to chat about some train delays. Suddenly thought of something, and turned to Captain Bincy who hadn't gone far:
"Then the rose..."
"Oh, this seems to be an unknown phenomenon. The cannibal woman is particularly sensitive to red roses, and shows a tendency to attack men holding red roses. This is like an animal's instinctive reaction, can you understand it? "
"instinct?"
Jenkins repeated the word, .
"Yes, we were able to find it, thanks to her frenzied attack. Look, this is evidence of the attack this evening. I haven't had time to send it to the church."
What the captain took out was a completely withered and wilted flower, which he put carelessly in his pocket, which aggravated the damage to the flower.
Seeing this, Jenkins immediately thought of the fiery red rose he saw just now. Suddenly heard a scream from behind, Miss Rick fell to the ground, and a tightly wrapped humanoid creature sandwiched Garcia holding a red rose by its side, and quickly moved towards Jenkins and Bin Flee in the direction to the right of Captain West.
There were few people on the platform, and the only lighting facilities were a few old-fashioned gas lamps on the pillars and walls. The dim light illuminated the drowsy passengers, but there was no one on the escape route chosen by the man who had kidnapped Garcia. Even the closest people could hardly stop her before she climbed over the high wall over there.
"That's your friend who's going to elope..."
Captain Bincy slanted his body and asked in a low voice, knowing that he should protect other people's privacy.
"Yes, I hope it wasn't my bad luck that brought them disaster."
Jenkins frowned and said depressedly, but both of them stood there without moving. Jenkins took the flower with almost stalks left in Captain Bincy's hand, and gently rolled it in his hand.
"Hi~look over here~"
He yelled loudly, turning the stalk slowly with the thumb and forefinger of his left hand. With the appearance and penetration of green smoke, the branch of this flower re-enacted the whole process from bud emergence to final bloom in a few seconds.
"Roar~"
The woman looked at this side, her steps stopped suddenly, and then she rushed over with Garcia. Jenkins raised his cane and drew it towards her, and the woman's right arm raised and collided with the cane, making a clear "clang~" sound.
Captain Bincy took advantage of the situation to grab her left arm, but the moment his palm touched the sleeve, a huge crack appeared in his palm, and he was knocked to the ground by the woman. Even so, the rope that slipped out of the cuff still tied her arm firmly.
"Oh~"
Jenkins pulled down the cane violently again, and the woman's sleeves were completely ripped off, revealing a metallic black arm. And in the few seconds when she was blocked by Jenkins, other scribes of the church also gathered.
Everyone didn't dare to touch her body directly, and they used long-range attacks to take action. In the end, he used the [Freezing Charm] to freeze the woman on the ground, and then took out the church's special instruments of torture to control her.
"Mr. Williams, this..."
Garcia was not unconscious, he was thrown when Captain Bincy's rope worked. Now this man is completely confused, because the scene just now seems to only appear in a knight novel.
"Sorry, I think you and Miss Rick may not be able to leave."
Jenkins squatted down to heal the wound on Captain Bincy's hand, smiled apologetically but did not look at their expressions, at this time the only female member of the team brought Miss Rick over.
"I'm really sorry, but your thoughts of wanting to disappear for a while can still be realized."
He lowered his head and stuffed the re-blooming red rose in his hand to Miss Rick. The latter's hands were cold, and she wanted to say something, but the scribe who had been prepared had already controlled her.
Jenkins nodded to Captain Bincy, and watched as he led all the witnesses and the strange woman away from the train station.
"Oh, sage, what are these things~"
After everyone disappeared, he covered his face and said. But he had to pull himself together, because there were two ladies waiting for him outside.
Jenkins couldn't get out of the station until the late train arrived five minutes later. Hathaway and Britney had indeed fallen asleep. After Jenkins told them that Miss Rick and Garcia had left, no one really suspected it.
This lie should not be easily exposed, because Miss Rick and Garcia are not Feeney, and the confidentiality agreement they have to sign is more stringent and complicated. Jenkins even believes that no one will see them again for half a year. In a way, this can be regarded as their dream come true...
