Central Europe, Crystal County, HighestLaws European Continental Headquarters.

It covers an area of ​​1,285 square kilometers, and is surrounded by towering iron walls, artificial canals, and plains. This geographical condition was created after many years. When the empire was not yet established, it was once one of the richest, most economically developed and highest living standards in the world. On the white cross flag on the red background, white symbolizes peace, justice and light, and red symbolizes the victory, happiness and enthusiasm of the people. Being able to live in this place is the beautiful wish of most people on earth.

But now when it comes to Crystal County, what comes to mind is a golden emblem, a diamond pattern surrounded by two star tracks, and a group of law enforcement officers who are above the law, because they carry those four words.

Instructor Luca, dressed in a decent black military uniform, came to the conference room. After entering the door, he saluted the generals who were sitting there waiting.

"Sit down Luca," said the man sitting in the middle seat.

"Yes." Luca sat upright.

"Yesterday, Lieutenant Colonel Faro had a private call with you, did you?"

"Yes." Luca replied.

"That's good, save us a lot of quarrels. Then... According to the official report submitted by Colonel Ma Long, we now appoint you to Venice to arrest the fourth-level wanted criminal code-named "Blood Owl" and execute it as soon as possible."

Luca responded, stood up and said, "Goodbye." Then she left the conference room.

After Luca went out, several people in the room spoke again: "In the past twenty-four hours, four important figures have died in Venice, including the son of the governor. Even those rebel organizations will not blindly carry out such continuous assassination operations. Is this blood owl's behavior really casually? I think the credibility of Ma Long's report is worth discussing."

"Even so, it is urgent to stop this killing, otherwise the local royal family and nobles will put pressure on the higher level. If Tiandu blames it, our European department will not look very good."

The man in the middle seat spoke again: "Don't worry about these things. I've already been thinking about it. I'll wait for Luca to deal with that 'vicious' madman first, and I'll apply to Tiandu and send an 'expert' to find out the whole story and let him go to the muddy waters of Venice. At that time, the responsibility will be borne by that person."

"You mean?" All the generals in the conference room knew who he was talking about.

"Ah, that's right, it's him. I heard that he has been stranded in Hokkaido since the end of last year. I'm not sure what the meaning is..."

…………

Venice, the next day after the Paper Man was discharged from the hospital, 7 o'clock in the evening.

Luca's special plane will not land until at least the early morning, and the murders against the nobles and wealthy businessmen continue. At this time, the number of victims has risen to twelve, and those who were killed are not included.

This small town is completely shrouded in a terrifying atmosphere. The governor has ordered a curfew, all business places are closed, residents are not allowed to go out, tourists are not allowed to leave hotels, and various transportation hubs entering and leaving the city are strictly monitored and are in a state of suspension. Before the murderer is arrested, any person stranded on the street, the police and the army have the right to arrest him. If he resists or fugitives, he can shoot directly, and the consequences are at his own risk.

This is the highest authority that the Governor can exercise under the imperial rule at the security level, and can only be carried out in extremely serious emergencies.

The local garrison troops, police, HL's garrison troops, all the forces that can be mobilized have begun to investigate the legal identities of civilians in the city one by one. The streets are covered with squads wearing uniforms, and even those homeless vagabonds are hard to find. I don't know where to hide.

The only person outside who was still strolling around in casual clothes was Paper Hero. He had not slept for more than thirty hours, but he was still patrolling around the air because the successive murders showed that Blood Owl had never rested.

He looked at the dead city and said to himself: "Where are you..."

…………

Underground, reflection of the city.

Xue Xiao is playing with hydrofluoric acid to dissolve corpses. This controlled chemical is not easy to get. If there are such things sold in convenience stores, it will be much more convenient to deal with corpses.

Suddenly, a person's voice came from the passage, "As a guest, don't you think you've been staying for too long?" The sound was sometimes close and sometimes far away, and I couldn't tell where it came from. I just felt like I was running around in the well-connected underground passage.

Xue Xiao sneered and raised his voice and replied, "Iron Rules... What messes were sent here this time?"

"Mr. Blood Owl, there is no absolute conflict of interest between you and us, and from what you do, we still have a common enemy, and you are also wanted by the Empire, aren't you?"

The expression on Xue Xiao's face was even more disdainful: "Oh... Are you here to negotiate this time?"

The voice continued, "If you are willing to work with our Steel Commandments, people like Botrini can be replaced at any time, and the killing of the priests can be written off, and the leader will forgive you."

"Forgive me?" Xue Xiao smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Do you know? After listening to you, I suddenly felt that someone who talked about 'cooperation' with me last time was so well-educated and so damn smart."

The man seemed to understand what the Blood Owl meant, and his tone became colder: "So, what is your answer?"

Xue Xiao said, "Come in front of me and let me tell you."

The fool knew that he would pounce on him and tear you down. The voice replied, "Hmph... Since you don't know how to polite, then there is nothing to talk about. Even if you can't get the control of the Reflection City for the time being, do you think we will let you hide here safely?" Before he finished speaking, a continuous explosion sounded from all over the passage.

Xue Xiao naturally understood what was going on. He walked to the computer and stored today's experimental data into his usual virtual network disk. Then he punched the chassis, pulled out the hard disk, and crushed it.

He glanced at the torture instruments and experimental equipment with regret for the last glance. As for the large piles of cash piled up randomly on the ground, he didn't even look at it.

At this time, the sea water had already spread to his knees. The place was flooded very quickly, so I had to rush to the nearby exit as soon as possible.

When the Blood Owl climbed a staircase somewhere, the sound of the sound of being far and near sounded again. I don’t know where the person who was talking was. Could it be that he was still soaked in the flooded passage?

"Blood Owl, it's stupid to refuse me. I lost the shelter of the Reflection City. Now Venice has no place to hide. I don't have to take action at all. You will die in the hands of those empireless dogs. Farewell, pagan."
