Chapter 197: Kua Kua Group
On the black-painted airship, the four demigods once again sat on the high-back chairs prepared on the deck. The difference from before was that next to the giant hamster was a charred corpse, and further in front, there stood four teams.
Saint Anthony, the Archbishop of the Church of Night, said:
"The cultists' spirits have been completely polluted by the evil god and are no longer able to communicate with spirits...
"But the course of events is clear. When Lanevus was designing the 'Steel Company' scam in Tingen, he was discovered by members of the Aurora Society and became a believer of the evil god. Afterwards, he held a ceremony to bestow divinity, and the price he paid was to become a vessel for the evil god to descend.
"The fraudster came to Backlund, but because of our previous joint investigation, the Aurora Club did not send many Beyonders to protect him. Instead, they helped him disguise himself as an ordinary person and let him hide among the ordinary people.
"But the evil god is the evil god. Lanevus's crazy tendencies made him vent in the sewers, where it is not easy for us to find abnormalities, and he created the 'giant hamster'.
"Everyone knows what happened next. Thank you all, and thank you to Storm, Steam, and the military for their assistance. I think I can announce that the Lanevus case has been officially solved.
"Everyone, we have protected Backlund once again!"
"Oh!!" The low- and mid-sequence Beyonders cheered. Even the usually serious Cecima smiled. The enemy this time was very dangerous. If they let it go for a while, maybe the evil god would really come to reality! The battle at that time would definitely not be as safe as it is now. At least the ordinary citizens around would definitely suffer a catastrophic disaster!
The other three demigods had different expressions. The "God's Dove" was a little embarrassed. He was blinded by anger and subconsciously thought that his two Mandated Punishers had died... So he attacked without mercy. Lanevus's spirit... was split apart by him.
Otherwise, even if it was contaminated by the evil god, the Archbishop of the Church of Darkness, who was crowned with the title of "Saint", could still try to communicate with the spirit world...
The military demigod Celt nodded politely. He only used the move of "forbidden". Ha, if it wasn't for diverting the attention of the three major churches, he would not have participated in this action at all...
Horamik of the Steam Church had a smile on his face. He actually wanted to act together with the people of Storm, because the hot-tempered Punishers always rushed to the front, giving the "generalists" who were not strong enough time and space to prepare.
Well, I can't blame myself for not using the killer move I prepared! This cooperation model can be promoted! Ikanser didn't seem to make any moves just now, he just posed and the incident was over! So convenient! So he said:
"I've heard of the name 'Lucky Team' for a long time, but I didn't expect them to be more sharp and have more extraordinary ideas than the rumors say.
"What's even more valuable is that this team includes representatives from our Steam, the military, your religion's Dark Night, and your religion's Storm. This is undoubtedly a model of friendly cooperation among all forces!
"I suggest that we strengthen cooperation in all aspects and try more joint operations to have more 'lucky teams'! What do you think?"
Saint Anthony and Celtic nodded in succession, indicating that it was okay.
The Singer of God looked much more relaxed. Storm had first established the Lucky Team! Oh, this matter really put Night and Steam on the same level! It wasn't easy... So he said in a calm tone, as if he didn't care at all:
"I have no objection either. Roy, Blue, tell us about your experience in establishing a team."
Roy Wellington immediately stepped forward, punched his left chest with his right fist and said:
“The storm is above!
“Thank you for your recognition, I have the honor to witness the origin and establishment of the Lucky Squad, and I would like to share some things about it.
"Two years ago, His Excellency 'Singer of God' came to me and said with concern: Our lovely Substitute Punishers have worked hard enough and made enough sacrifices, but why do vicious and extraordinary incidents continue to occur? Why are some of these cases still unsolved?
"I can't answer the reason, because my wisdom cannot reach the level of your Excellency the Archbishop!
"Soon after that, His Eminence the Archbishop proposed the idea of establishing a team to deal with difficult cases, but the matter had to be shelved because none of the candidates for the captain met the requirements.
"This case has been on hold for two years! During this time, His Excellency the Archbishop has been sending Punishers from various dioceses to Backlund to investigate the case, with the sole purpose of selecting the most suitable person!
"Occasionally, I heard His Excellency 'Singer of God' sigh: Talent is hard to find." Until August of this year, the rebel, the usurper pirate Qilingos who called himself a lieutenant general sneaked into Backlund and threatened the safety of the citizens! Storm once again summoned 8 Punishers to the Holy Wind Cathedral!
“And this time, I noticed that His Excellency ‘Singer of God’ had been paying attention to one person, and that person was Old Blue.
"I privately asked His Eminence the Archbishop in confusion, what was so special about that person?
"The Singer of God smiled slightly on his usually serious face. He said: We should be able to set up that special team. I have found the most suitable candidate for the captain.
“What? I was very shocked and a little skeptical. Did His Excellency the Archbishop decide on the candidate with just one look?
"But I was wrong. I was wrong to doubt the Archbishop's judgment!
"Qilingus was killed within a week!
"Then I asked His Eminence the Archbishop: Do you have the ability to predict the future?
"'No,' His Eminence the Archbishop denied with a smile, and then he took out a thick stack of information from the drawer of his desk. It contained the detailed information of the 12 chosen Substitutes of Punishment!
"I picked up the first one with trembling hands, and after opening it, I found that it was Old Blue's file. Every extraordinary incident he solved was circled in red ink! There were also dense annotations next to it! There were two big words written next to it: Captain.
"I picked up another one, and it was also full of annotations! But the word "Captain" was missing!
"It turns out that His Excellency the Archbishop has always been the most pragmatic person! He has carefully studied every candidate he personally selected!
"I asked stupidly: Then...what should this team be called?
"'Lucky Team,' the Archbishop said without hesitation: 'For Backlund, the existence of this team is lucky.'
"I was so moved that my eyes welled up with tears. I just want to say: It is the luck of the Made Punishers, Backlund, and Loen to have an Archbishop like you! The storm is with you!"
Hiss! The members of the Lucky Team all took a deep breath. So this is the Lucky? Wasn't it a name that Klein casually said?
Hiss! Is this the Church of Storms? Dark Night, Steam, and the military all took a deep breath. The Singer of God is so terrifying!
What the hell! ! ? Old Blue listened to Roy's boasting and felt an endless stream of "What the hell" in his heart. Roy, this guy! His previous report showed his exaggerated style, and this time it was even more explicit! Aren't you afraid of the opposite effect? !
Hypocrisy! So hypocritical!
Old Blue immediately stepped forward, pounded his chest, and shouted:
"Storm is above! I only have faith in Storm! Thank you, His Excellency the Archbishop, for your advice! Thank you, Deacon Roy, for telling me this secret! Thank you, Storm, for giving me this opportunity!
"The Lucky Team cannot take credit for itself! In addition to us, there are many members of the Mandated Punishers, Nighthawks, Mechanical Hearts, and the military who have devoted a great deal of time, energy, and even sacrificed their lives to hunt down the cultists!
"I dare not say that we are Backlund's luck, but I can say that being able to clear away the evil and crime for Storm, Backlun, and Loen is our team's luck!"
Hiss! The other members of the Lucky Team took a deep breath again. Did "Lucky" mean this again? Wasn't this a name that Klein just casually said? ! !
Snapped! Bang bang!
The military demigod Celt looked very moved and took the lead in applauding. Then, the applause became continuous. The extraordinary people on the airship deck applauded with different expressions and looked at the "Lucky Team" members closest to them.
The big hamster surrounded by people had a dull expression. It totally couldn't understand what the people around it were discussing or what they were doing...but everyone was doing it, so it should imitate it too!
Poof, poof.
The big hamster barely supported its body on its hind legs, raised its two short front legs, and imitated the movement of clapping, clapping against each other, but it could only make strange sounds.
The next moment, everyone's eyes were focused on it.
