The third level of the treasury, within the enclosed space.
Kaxiu glanced at the bronze key obscurely, and moved to the right. He walked slowly, like a collector selecting antiques. When he encountered an item of interest, he would stop and take a closer look. It was not until half an hour later that Kaxiu stopped at the first item on the left. His eyes slowly floated, and he reached out and picked it up.
The first feeling when he touched it was that it was cold, like metal placed in an ice cellar. The second feeling was that it was heavy. Of course, this meant that the key was very heavy compared to its smaller size. He spread out his palm, and the skin on his palm immediately felt the coldness transmitted by the key. The bronze key exuded waves of cold air.
Kaxiu lowered his head slightly and glanced at the overall shape of the key.
At the end was a ring the size of an eyeball, with a bronze trunk the length of a middle finger extending from the ring. Three curved branches grew from one side of the trunk, and two branches on the other side. At first glance, it looked like a miniature bronze tree, or some kind of ferocious metal claw.
A bit like a bird? Hooked claws...
Kaxiu turned it over and over for a while, and finally squeezed it.
"That's it." He said, looking at the black machine leader in the distance.
The black machine leader nodded, his eyes swept over the bronze key in Kaxiu's hand, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He turned around and led Kaxiu out of the treasure house.
Ta-ta-ta…
A series of approaching footsteps were heard on the steps of the underground passage.
Soon, two figures left the treasure house and stood on the brick and stone open space. Today the weather was clear and the sky was blue. Occasionally, wisps of pure white clouds floated like gauze at the edge of the sky.
On a quiet road, Kaxiu and the Black Agency Chief walked towards the headquarters building. Five minutes later, they arrived at the Black Agency Chief's office.
Kaxiu sat on a soft brown sofa, half of his body covered by the bright sunlight coming in from the floor-to-ceiling windows. The shadows created by the light made his figure look even more sturdy and strong, with a sense of oppression.
In front of him was a coffee table, on which was a cup of fragrant black tea.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and soon a figure walked into the office. It was Thomas, the assistant to the black director who had accompanied Kaxiu to the treatment center for the first time. He held a document in his hand. The surface of the light yellow paper hard cover was a circle of white sealing tape with two red words on it.
"Top secret."
Thomas walked over to Kaxiu, gently placed the document on Kaxiu's right hand side, and considerately turned the document to the front.
"Would you like some hot milk?"
Thomas said, looking at the smoking hot tea.
"No, I don't really like sweet taste."
Kaxiu responded and immediately began to open the documents.
Thomas turned and left to get hot milk from another room. The black chief was sitting at his desk, handling business. There was also a cup of black tea on his desk. Thomas naturally had to complete his usual work.
With the sound of paper folding, the file was opened.
Kaxiu read through the pages expressionlessly, making the rustling sounds.
The paper surface looked white and hot under the sunlight outside the window.
"Wow." The last page was turned and Kaxiu raised his head.
"Interesting. The Moon Eclipse in the east of the empire uses Blood Moon Potion at least five to six times more frequently than the First Division in the north. This means that they have been able to use it on a regular basis, and in such large quantities. Is the source of the Gate Organization's supplies in the east of the empire? Is that their potion production base? Or are these potions shipped in from abroad, but the maritime trade on the east coast of the empire is prosperous, so it radiates from the east..."
He spoke slowly, looking at the black machine leader from a distance.
"It's possible..." The head of the Black Agency put down the feather pen he was using to review documents, looked up and said, "If the Gate Organization really has such a pharmaceutical production factory, it is very likely to be located in the eastern region..."
"Is that so..." Kaxiu nodded, his eyes deep. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Does the Eastern Eclipse Society have any overt connection with the Gate Organization? For example, members of the Gate Organization have had frequent contact with the Eclipse Society. Or, have the two sides had some joint actions..."
"Yes. In the county where the Eclipse Society's headquarters is located, many members of the sect have frequently appeared. In fact, some members of the sect don't look like people from our Red Li Empire, but from the South Reef Island."
The head of the Black Agency was also very concerned about this matter and knew everything about it.
After listening to this, Kaxiu nodded. He already had a guess in his mind.
The Eclipse Society is probably one of the vanguards of the Gate Organization, and is also a test subject and a thug. Just like the Blood Spirit Society that Kaxiu had encountered before, the Eclipse Society is much larger and more valuable than the Blood Spirit Society. Moreover, the potion that the Gate Organization cooperated with the Eclipse Society is called the Blood Moon Potion. Is it secretly pointing to the Moon Goddess Statue, the Eclipse Society's trump card, and the fallen Moon Goddess? Kaxiu always feels that the Gate Organization is planning something, and even the cooperation with the Eclipse Society may not be simple, not just an experiment.
After much thought, Kaxiu personally felt that the only thing worth the sect's attention in the Lunar Eclipse Society was the Moon Goddess Statue and the Moon Goddess's Flesh and Blood.
Unfortunately, there was not enough information, so he could only guess this far.
As for the rest, I will have to wait until I go to the southeastern counties of the empire to investigate in person. Kaxiu's thoughts worked quickly and he took a sip of black tea.
Not far away, behind the desk, the black chief quietly watched this side. He rubbed the golden ring on his thumb with his left hand, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised. It's interesting that after reading the information about the Eclipse Society, Kaxiu didn't care about the Eclipse Society itself, but kept an eye on the Gate Organization. Does this mean that he doesn't care about the powerful Eclipse Society headquarters at all? He doesn't care about possible revenge and assassinations
It seems that this new director of the treatment center has absolute confidence in himself. Every move he makes is aimed at the most dangerous organization in the world. In this case, maybe he will be a qualified ally in the future.
If the sect organization really has evil intentions towards Florence...
Half an hour later, Kaxiu remembered all the information and left the Dark Hunter Organization headquarters. He took a carriage back to the headquarters of the treatment center.
After a brief adjustment, Kaxiu selected the candidates for this operation.
Yes, it is not enough to have only the two commanders, Nine Snakes and Mist Man. Because they not only have to go to the Alfama Mountains in Shire County, but also directly fight in the southeastern counties of the empire. The Eclipse Society, the Gate Organization, the top night weirdos in Black Rain Villa, the dangers of the Eternal Islands, and the remnants of the Totem Temple in the southern part of the empire that may intervene. They have many enemies...
After a while of consideration, Kaxiu quickly decided on the candidate.
He planned to take Vice Dean Odo away, including Odo's disciples and several elite doctors under him, while the ascetic monks stayed at the headquarters.
In fact, the best candidate to guard the headquarters is definitely Odo, who has experience in handling many matters. However, Kaxiu needs to see how Odo practices the Fantasy Moon Fist so that he can make adjustments and improve the fist he created.
So, a total of two carriages drove out from the headquarters of the treatment center.
Kashu was sitting in the front carriage, while Odo and his men were in the back carriage. In the first carriage, Kashu took out a pair of bronze rings from his arms. He flicked the rings with his fingers and they separated. He threw one of the rings into the shadow of a corner of the carriage.
Suddenly, a white and plump hand reached out and caught it.
The figure of the evil mother appeared in the carriage.
She had shrunk to the size of a normal human woman, wearing a large black cloak that covered her strange arms, revealing only her beautiful face and the faintly visible totem on her neck.
"This bronze ring can transmit information remotely. You hold it and hide in the dark. If necessary, I will command you through the ring..."
Kaxiu put away the remaining ring and said indifferently.
After he finished speaking, he opened the curtains of the carriage. Outside was a somewhat rugged dirt road, with lush green forests on both sides.
The carriage has left Florence and is heading towards its destination.
Kaxiu glanced at the dazzling sun hanging high in the sky, and his sight seemed to move to Shire County thousands of miles away, seeing the actions of his men.
****************************
Shire County, Mingshan City, urban area.
A single-family house with a white fence.
Inside the building, a banquet involving delicious food was taking place.
A rectangular table with a gold-rimmed edge was placed in the middle of the hall.
Metal lamps, flower bouquets, fruit baskets, candlesticks, everything was arranged around the rectangular tabletop, and in the center was a huge metal tray covered with a large piece of red silk-like cloth.
The candle flame burned and flickered.
Around the table, four noble and elegant gentlemen were walking back and forth, making final preparations. They had a slight smile on their faces, but they were not friendly at all. Because the faces of these gentlemen were too pale, as pale as a corpse that had been dead for three or four days. In the dim environment, their eyes were also abnormal. The edge was pure black, and the middle was a little scarlet, like a bat. It looked extremely cold.
"Can we start, Ludo?" a gentleman suddenly said.
"Andy hasn't arrived yet. Let's wait for him for a while."
Another older gentleman responded.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a soft knock on the door.
“Knock knock knock…”
"Oh, here it comes." Several gentlemen looked at each other and smiled.
"Tap, tap..." Suddenly, something under the red cloth on the long table began to shake, as if struggling. Occasionally, the slender limbs of a woman could be seen.
"You take care of it, I'll go open the door."
The older gentleman named Ludo glanced at him and walked towards the door. He opened it with a click: "You are almost late."
Swish!
!
Strands of blood-red wind squeezed in from outside the door, rushing in one after another, forming a vortex at the door. In just a blink of an eye, the vortex disappeared. Only a skeleton was left standing in the corridor, motionless, pale and dead.
The blood-red mist that rushed in was like a bone scraper or a tongue full of barbs. It licked Ludo's flesh clean in an instant.
Inside and out, skin, muscles, internal organs, nothing was spared.
They were all eaten and rolled into the chewing mouth of a monster outside the door.
"Kachakachakacha..."
"Squeak~" The wooden door was pushed open, and a figure in a black robe stood at the door.
He had a yin-yang face, with pale human flesh on one side and an extremely evil bloody mist on the other. At this moment, the mist was violently rolling and expanding, forming whirlpools on the surface. In the whirlpools, it seemed that pieces of meat or internal organs were floating by.
"Tsk, I'm having lunch."
The fog man's extremely unpleasant voice sounded, with an evil smile on his face.
"Friend, do you mind taking me with you..."
Boom boom boom!
All of a sudden, all the windows of the building were shattered by a huge external pressure. Amid the clanging sound of broken glass, a torrent of bloody mist rushed in, expelling all the air.
A few seconds later, all the blood mist merged into one place, forming a huge vortex. Inside the vortex, a scarlet mouth suddenly grew out.
Kacha swallowed all the vampires present in one gulp.
"Empty, empty, empty..."
The whole house was shaking and cracks appeared on the walls.
When the shaking stopped, Wu Ren slowly turned around and glanced at his strong and sturdy subordinates standing quietly in the yard. He smiled and waved his hand gently. Immediately, the doctors in black clothes rushed into the building from both sides of Wu Ren.
In the hall, the struggle at the rectangular dining table came to an end.
"ah!"
A sharp cry suddenly sounded. The red cloth was lifted up, and a beautiful girl with blond hair and blue eyes half sat on the plate, looking around in fear and confusion. She was naked at the moment, with her beautiful figure and fair skin exposed to the air. She was a naked lamb.
"Vampires! Monsters! They want to eat people, they want to eat..."
The girl turned around with fear on her face. She saw three skeletons standing next to the dining table, struggling in pain. One of the skeletons had a torn noble costume and a white lace flower on its shoulder.
"It's... those vampires! He... they're dead!
!”
The girl was stunned for a while before she reacted. She was shocked and scared at first, and then she was ecstatic. She survived, she was saved!
This emotion lasted for a second, and then a second later.
"It's over."
The girl turned around, her eyes full of despair. It was only then that she noticed that on the right side of the hall, a strong and sturdy man who looked like a bull was searching everywhere. There were also a few people walking towards this side, their faces were full of ferocity, their eyes were red, and they were violent and raging.
Just out of the wolf's den, and into the tiger's mouth!
In the hall, a sturdy man with totem tattoos on his face walked over and looked at the fair-skinned girl, his eyes seemed to be ready to make a move. He could hardly restrain his inner desire to tear apart the beauty, and slowly stretched out his rough big hand.
Kacha! A sturdy man nearby had a fierce light in his eyes, and he pulled out a beheading sword from his back and chopped off his companion's right hand.
Then he punched it and knocked it away.
The man screamed miserably, blood gushing out of his arm. Even his entire right cheek was knocked crooked by the punch, and five or six broken teeth fell out of the corner of his mouth.
The sturdy man who had done the decapitation stood still, the beheading sword stabbed fiercely into the ground. He placed both hands on the end of the hilt, his face full of anger and brutality.
"By order of the dean, if any doctor has the intention or action to attack ordinary people... the team leader can impose punishment on his own!"
"I'm going to chop off one of your arms today. Remember this lesson! If it happens again, I'll chop off your head with this sword..."
