Mystery: The Lamp God’s Path To Freedom

In Backlund in June and July, it was the time when the blood race represented by a certain wife was the least willing to go out.

Hazel has never been to the East District in the morning, even before, she secretly went to the East District to complete the task according to the teacher's order, she always sneaked there in the middle of the night. Later, she usually goes out in the evening.

This time, she changed into a more simple dress, brought a personal maid, and some gifts that were not considered gifts, "food", and was going to visit those children, who had stopped appearing in class last week .

The East District under the sun is dirtier and dilapidated than it was in the impression, and the slightly more decent workers have already thrown themselves into various factories and machinery. The adults who can be seen on the street make Hazel feel more and more creepy. Just like the living corpses that often appear in ghost stories, there are many pairs of eyes hidden in the shadows staring maliciously at the carriage.

With the help of the coachman, Hazel struggled to find several addresses recorded in the notebook.

After getting out of the car, Hazel held a small bag of divided food in one hand, and a lady's pistol in the other hand, while the personal maid only held a stack of papers full of handwriting. For a while, it was difficult to distinguish between the two. person's identity.

It took a long time to knock on the door before the door was opened.

It was Hazel's student who opened the door, and his appearance was almost unrecognizable to Hazel.

The young man who was dark and thin but bright-eyed and full of energy, now looks haggard, with an abnormal black and red in his sallow complexion, his footsteps are shaky, his voice is vague, and he asks: "Teacher, why are you here?"

He was very surprised in his heart, but there was no change on his face, he didn't even have the strength to make a corresponding expression.

Hazel immediately recognized that the student in front of her was sick and had a fever. She walked in the door, and when she looked around, she saw two adults and one child lying in the house without a separate bedroom.

She put down her things and walked over quickly.

That should be his parents and sister, none of them responded and seemed to be in a coma. The three of them were haggard, breathless, and had a high fever, and there were strange black spots on their exposed skin.

Hazel didn't know what kind of disease it was, but she knew that these three people were going to die soon, and his student seemed to be infected too.

Hazel felt that she was very uncomfortable, but she couldn't explain why she was so sad.

She softly asked the boy what he knew, but the boy only said that his parents suddenly fell ill, and then his younger sister, and he only started to have a fever. The parents first said that they were in pain all over, and then they started to have a fever, and then black spots appeared, and they were not awake, and this lasted for more than a week.

Hazel swallowed back all the words she was going to encourage the students before, and just repeated dryly, "The Goddess will bless them", and left in a hurry.

She couldn't take him away, it must be an infectious disease, and it was impossible for her to bring a doctor to treat him. In the shaking carriage, after thinking twice, she decided to go directly to the Goddess' church after visiting the other three children. .

However, the situation after that was even worse. Of the other three students, only one was due to his father accidentally breaking his leg, and those two were in the same situation as the first student. The whole family fell ill, and even one had lost half of his family. , and the other half is at stake.

The Macht family's carriage quickly left the East Borough and headed directly to the Church of Evernight's largest church in Backlund, St. Samuel's Church.

...

A group of cloaked people gathered in an abandoned warehouse in groups of three or four. They were obviously divided into several groups, and one of the small groups was vaguely headed. The whispering in the warehouse has not stopped, there is no mystery, high-end, and orderly gathering of Extraordinary, but it looks like a meeting of gangsters.

Just before the different gangs were about to shake off the cloaks that got in the way because of the quarrel, and stepped forward to fight, a tall, bright-faced woman walked in surrounded by two strong men.

The woman sat carelessly on the only chair, crossing her legs quite casually, revealing half of her fair calf and small and exquisite ankle that were hidden under the wide wizard robe and long cloak.

The chaotic voices in the warehouse subsided briefly. At this time, a confident voice sounded from the crowd: "Boss, when can we get the reward?"

"Don't call me boss! Call me lord witch!" The woman changed her face instantly, but soon put on a serious and indifferent face, trying to play a mysterious and unpredictable witch in legend.

"Okay, female boss... I have at least five hundred here, which is almost the same."

"Hmph! Tell me how much you have accomplished?"

After every group of people had reported their numbers, the woman calculated silently, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you so small, you bunch of idiots! I don't even know how to report to the organization."

"The potions you all drank were all applied by me with great effort, just to accomplish this great event."

"If only Extraordinary people have the resistance to avoid infection, why would I give medicine to the donkey!"

"Donkeys are faster than you!"

Everyone was so scolded that they couldn't lift their heads. Although the boss was still aggressive and swearing, he always felt that something was different from before. The words were still the same, so why did they sound a lot more pleasing to the ear?

When the woman finally had enough of scolding, she asked the leaders to talk about the details of their tasks.

A short and slender man suddenly said: "If the church finds out about this, we..."

"Can't you keep them from knowing? Damn, you can't hide and do it secretly? Did I make you an assassin to make you as funny as a clown in a circus?"

"But... I think they have already discovered that there are people who obviously don't belong to the East District walking around in my side these two days."

"Then hurry up, hurry up for me!"

"Finish it before the dogs smell it and find it!"

"This is a competition, can you guys be a little competitive, what do I want to hear? I want to hear you rushing to report to me, how many people died today, and how many people are going to be infected tomorrow!"

"If you don't work hard, how can I exchange it with the organization for a solution to this side effect!"

The more the woman talked, the more angry she became, her chest heaved up and down.

I don't know who murmured in a low voice, "I think it's good that the boss is like this."

The woman's eyebrows that had just been flattened up again.

There were bursts of messy and noisy sounds in the broken warehouse.

Finally, the woman stood up, opened her mouth and drove the ordinary people out, leaving only herself and a few assassins.

She took out a box, opened it and said, "This is the last batch of disease sources I have deployed. You must spread these gadgets as soon as possible."

Then she carefully distributed the black-gray powder in the box to the new Extraordinary subordinates present.

An assassin tentatively complained: "Can this thing be improved? It needs to be close to people to spread it, and there needs to be a period of close contact...I've been running around all day."

The woman suddenly raised her leg and kicked the person who was speaking, and the person dodged nimbly, but just as soon as he turned around, he was punched hard from another direction, and the woman shouted: "If I can make something more Alright, I've done it all by myself! What use is there for you!"
