"What?"
Bundy was taken aback, thinking he had heard wrong.
"Kerosene, explosives, artillery!"
Even after repeating it again, it also gave specific supplements:
"30 barrels of kerosene! 100 pieces of explosives! 2-3 cannons!"
"if you can…
"The more of these things the better!"
Undoubtedly, Jason made a normal request this time, but Bundy was still stunned.
Even, a little overwhelmed.
"Are you ready to start a war?"
The sheriff was joking.
But Jason didn't smile at all.
On the contrary, he shook his head very seriously.
"This is more difficult and dangerous than ordinary war."
"because… "
"You just don't know if what you have is going to be able to defend against what's there."
Jason replied with a solemn expression.
If he could, he really didn't want to touch anything related to the 'Moon Mask' club before he didn't have enough self-protection power.
But the change of the 'moon mask' forced him to pay attention there.
Even, to take the initiative to solve the things there.
After all, his main task has long been changed to [Spend seven days in Lorde], and now only three days have passed. Who can guarantee that there will be no more terrifying mutations in the 'Moon Mask' in the remaining four days
If it happens, he will become powerless to fight back.
Instead of waiting until then, sit and wait.
Might as well...
Take the initiative!
'Mystery' can deal with 'mystery'.
This of course makes sense.
But when the 'mysterious' ability he has can't deal with it, he has to seek other things.
Dynamite!
flame!
From Jason's contact with the 'mysterious side' until now, he has been proving his effectiveness on the 'mysterious side'.
Then, he relies on explosives and gunpowder to make up for his own shortcomings!
One won't do, just ten!
Ten won't work, just a hundred!
If a hundred pieces are not enough...
He went to find a thousand pieces!
As long as the quantity is large enough, it will definitely produce a qualitative change!
Jason looked directly at Bundy.
Bundy looked at Jason with unprecedented serious eyes.
next moment-
call!
He took a deep breath, pressed the brim of his hat, and said:
"Understood."
"give it to me."
After speaking, the sheriff jumped out of the carriage and ran towards the police station.
Kerosene, explosives, so to speak, with his authority, if he tried his best, there was a little hope that he could find them.
But artillery...
Don't talk about 2-3 courses, he can't do even one.
Because, in the entire Lord City, there is only one place that keeps artillery: the barracks!
There, ordinary people cannot enter.
Even if he was from the army and is now the Sheriff of Lorde, he is just an ordinary person there.
but,
Someone can!
His immediate boss!
Your Excellency the Director!
However, it is not a simple matter for the boss who wants to persuade him to use artillery.
For this he had to think up a good rhetoric.
And, be prepared to be scolded.
Inexplicably, the sheriff, who only wanted Jason to be normal before, had already begun to miss Jason's dry humor.
He felt that Jason was more 'approachable' at that time.
Thinking from the bottom of his heart, the sheriff walked faster and faster, and soon his back disappeared from Jason's sight.
Then, Jason closed his eyes and waited quietly.
…
On the outskirts of Lord, somewhere in a dense forest.
A man wearing a large cloak that completely conceals his face is walking calmly, surrounded by dense bushes of thorns, as if commoners saw nobles, they retreated one after another, and after the man passed by, these thorns and bushes appeared again. restored to its original state.
"It was really an accident."
"It's not just that I have found a good apprentice."
"Dan, are you too?"
The other party was talking to himself.
There was a very sincere joy in the voice.
As if in blessing.
But there was no smile on the other side's face under the shadow.
The cold killing intent was twisting in a secret and unique way.
The surrounding plants were all affected by such killing intent, and the thorns and bushes withered and withered quickly.
The other party lowered his head and looked at these withered thorns and bushes.
"A seedling is a seedling after all."
"Not going through the wind and rain."
"How can it grow into a towering tree?"
While speaking, the other party raised his hand and waved.
Suddenly, the thorns and bushes that had just withered and withered quickly revived with vitality.
Then, just like the thorns and bushes before, it made way for this man.
Blowing a light whistle, the man walked forward slowly.
"Shhhhh!"
"Dead Kurtz, poor, poor, very poor."
"Dead Karina, sad, sad, so sad."
"But night, night, comes."
"The black lamb has danced."
"Get up and dance."
"Get up and dance."
The man walked farther and farther, his steps became lighter and lighter, but the whistle and singing became more and more indistinct.
Eventually, it disappeared.
…
At midnight, Jason and his party arrived in front of the 'Moon Mask' club behind Kensing Street.
No one approached under Jason's signal.
With nearly twice the eyesight of ordinary people, Jason stood at the entrance of the street and looked at the 'moon mask' in the distance by the moonlight.
The door he had pushed open before closed again.
The body of the gatekeeper, which should have been covered with a white cloth, had long since disappeared.
"We didn't close the doors."
"The corpse was here before, and it disappeared with our people."
Hall said immediately, and then, pointing to the intersection of the street and the place about five meters in front of the club, he continued: "I set up two checkpoints here, here and there, two people per shift, three shifts, I am in charge support."
"There was nothing unusual all day."
"But after I came back, the four people who were supposed to stay behind and the two corpses at the door disappeared."
"Not a trace."
The senior police detective clenched his fists as he spoke.
Everyone present understood what it meant to be missing in a place like this.
A pang of sadness poured into the hearts of these young police officers.
In particular, Finch looked at the 'Moon Mask' club in the distance, and couldn't help but his eyes turned red. He had a very good relationship with two of them, because they were his roommates in 202.
call!
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by.
The autumn night wind is already full of coolness.
But the coolness in this gust of wind was icy cold.
Many people shivered instinctively.
But what makes people tremble even more is-
Squeak!
In the distance, the gate of the 'Moon Mask' club opened.
The two doors were facing inward and slowly opened.
Amidst the tooth-piercing noise, the lights in the club became dazzling again, and the music sounded again.
In the hall, people danced and laughed softly.
Then…
Two figures came out from the dancing crowd.
"Kurtz!"
"Carina!"
When they saw those two figures, many people exclaimed. They stared blankly, smiling, walked out of the club hand in hand, bent down at the same time, and the two people who made the invitation suddenly changed. Overwhelmed.
"Jason?"
Bundy asked in a low voice.
Jason didn't speak, just turned his body sideways.
Crunch, crunch.
Amidst the overwhelmed sound, the two bronze cannons were slowly pushed over.
Two blasting rounds were loaded into the barrel.
The muzzle slowly aimed at the 'Moon Mask' club.
Jason raised his hand and dropped it heavily—
"fire!"
