Chapter 256 04.0255: "Listen, you no longer have the initiative now."

"First team, take your positions." Outside the high-rise building, the first group of fully armed Hell's Vanguards descended from the sky using newly improved noise-reducing gravity parachute packs. They landed and deployed on a floor extremely close to the target location, hiding in the darkness.

"Team Two is in position on the upper floors."

"Sniper team, get in position."

"Anti-aircraft missile team, get in position."

"Valkyrie interception team, get in position."

"Freezing missile launch team, in position."

"Five, four, three..." Horatio looked at the pocket watch Thei gave him and counted the time silently. The iron-colored liquid in his right hand rolled and transformed into a bolt pistol.

Thei set a time for action, and Horatio and Louise were responsible for preparing their "appetizers" before the time was up.

"one!"

Beep!

As a flash of electricity passed by, the club hall, which had just been filled with electronic music, singing and dancing, and people enjoying themselves, suddenly became dark and gloomy.

"what happened?"

Just as the nobles and wealthy were discussing this.

Empty boom!

Several stun grenades were fired from the grenade launcher of an Imperial Navy CAT tactical unmanned reconnaissance aircraft that had already sneaked in through the ventilation duct.

At Thei's signal, Yin Shuyao quickly covered her ears and hid in a room where the two of them were pretending to be playing a [sex game between girls], to ensure that she would not be affected by the action.

Immediately afterwards, soldiers in power armor broke in. Without saying a word, they immediately opened fire and killed all the armed security guards they saw according to the arrows marked by Horatio.

The external speakers also rumbled, and a cold and ruthless male voice yelled in the darkness: "Hold your head! Lie down!"

"Hey, who are you! Don't you know we are...Ah! Ah! Ah!!"

Henry Harvey smashed the man's face with the butt of his Hell Gun, smashing his mask and two rows of neatly trimmed, bright white upper and lower lips.

"I say! Get down!" he ordered in a threatening tone without any politeness.

Then, wearing power armor, he kicked the man's leg with his armored leg, and bones broke and screams were heard under his feet instantly.

Now, this high-ranking official had no choice but to groan and lie down on the ground obediently.

Someone tried to resist with a self-defense pistol, which caused sudden gunshots and flashes of gunfire to be heard in the darkness.

But they could not see the swift-footed heavily armed soldiers in the darkness, and their bullets could not penetrate their power armor.

Jiong! Jiong!
The scouts used thermal imaging to quickly open fire, killing several attackers, and then immediately began to tie up everyone lying on the ground with restraints.

At the same time, in a mansion on a certain floor of a spire in the throne area.

"You... who are you?" A priest with a Mediterranean hairstyle hid behind the throne and said tremblingly.

"The First Bureau of the Abyss Port Military Supervision Bureau, torture him away." Farida was already accustomed to giving such brief answers. She turned around and gave orders to the Zhongsi Stormtroopers.

At this moment, a man emerged from the storm outside the house and strode towards them on a purple carpet.

"Very good, very good. I didn't expect that you would take action immediately after I said it. Very good." William Cartell looked slightly surprised and applauded.

"Now, hand him over to me, and I will interrogate him on my black ship."

Farida didn't want to talk to him, so it was Military Supervisor Melina who stepped forward, with her hands naturally vertical, in a posture of alert with her gun at all times, and said:

"Your Excellency the Judge, according to the previous joint investigation decree, whoever arrests first will interrogate first. Therefore, this person should be tried in the interrogation room of the Abyss Port Military Supervision Bureau."

"What? What did you say?" William Cartell's eyes became sharp and fierce, as if he was looking at a loyal dog that suddenly disobeyed him.

"I said, according to the Joint Investigation Act..."

The Inquisitor did not even give her a chance to finish her words. He drew his gun and pointed the black muzzle at Melina. The servants of the Inquisition behind him also drew their weapons.

On the Military Supervisory Bureau side, Farida was the first to draw her gun, followed closely by the other members of the Military Supervisory Bureau.

"We are acting in accordance with the supreme imperial decree, Your Excellency the Inquisitor, please understand."

"Haha, hehe, hehe, now you're all rebelling, right? I ordered you to catch this man! It was me! It wasn't you who figured out the clues with your pitiful shrunken brains!"

"Although it is indeed your suggestion, I must emphasize that according to the law we have..."

"Enough! Stormtroopers! Shoot these disobedient traitors to death!"

"Sir, our guns are only aimed at the enemies of the Empire." Sergeant Valina responded coldly without moving.

This answer stung the Inquisitor so much that he felt like he had been stabbed in the vitals.

His eyes suddenly showed strong murderous intent, and he suddenly and swiftly turned the muzzle of his gun to point at the senior sergeant of the stormtroopers who was wearing a red beret on his shoulder armor.

Jiong!
pat.

Military Supervisor Melina was the first to pull the trigger, shooting the Inquisitor's pistol away.

"Ah! Ugh!" The back of the hand of the Holy Hammer Inquisitor was burned by the laser, and he groaned in pain and anger.

"Your Excellency the Inquisitor, according to the Joint Investigation Decree No. 378 of the Imperial Military Supervision Department (Officio Prefectu), we sincerely invite you to join us in the interrogation investigation. However, the interrogation will be held in the interrogation room of the Military Supervision Bureau of Abyss Port, not your Inquisition Black Ship.

We have the right to know the content of the interrogation and make a formal written report to Segmentum Obscurus Security." Military Supervisor Melina's tone was very tough.

The reason why she was so confident was that the Gothic Fleet had not yet made a formal written response to the inquiries of the Hazy Star Region Navy Headquarters.

So much so that the Navy Security Department of the Hazy Star Region has sent a Star Region Navy Disciplinary Investigation Team, which has almost the same power as the Inquisitor, but has a higher level of power under the "territorial principle", to the Gothic Star Region for investigation.

Although the Inquisitor theoretically has 'almost unlimited power'.

But if there is no legitimate reason, when the Empire's special investigation department sends an agency to deal with the situation, professionals will have to take care of professional matters.

Unless he is a Lord Inquisitor, or there is evidence that the subject of the investigation has committed clear heretical behavior, the Inquisition must intervene before the investigation can proceed.

However, after so much time, this Inquisitor of the Order of the Holy Hammer still failed to discover the heresy within the Gothic Fleet, and all his attention was focused on discovering the heresy among his peers.

Then he must give up his leadership over this matter to the Imperial Special Investigation Team.

No one would want to waste time with him in the intrigues with his colleagues.

Now, the Abyss Port Naval Military Supervision Bureau has officially received the "Imperial Sword" from the Star Domain Naval Discipline Investigation Team.

Responsible for exercising power and conducting forward-looking investigations before they arrive, and anyone who obstructs the investigation will be killed without mercy.

Of course, this was just a "torture tactic" jointly devised by the Gothic Fleet and the Abyss Port Military Supervision Bureau.

The fundamental purpose is to kick the inquisitor, who threatens life safety at every turn, out of this matter.
-
"What? The priest isn't there?"

"Yes, we investigated. These people are all dignitaries of Abyss Port, but there are no clergy."

"Could it be at the headquarters where they gather?" Horatio looked at the Inquisitor.

Ravenno wondered what had gone wrong.

Suddenly, he thought of a seemingly ordinary letter he had received before.

He took out a piece of card and covered the screen with it. Through the gaps on the card, some words were highlighted, and at a glance they were connected into a short message with a lot of information.

"what is this?"

"A secret letter from my collaborator. It says that the Abyss Port Military Supervisory Bureau and William Cartel have caught that guy."

"How did they know that guy's hiding place? I've been investigating for so long and still can't find it."

"It was William Carter who gave us the information. The Military Supervision Bureau took action ahead of time with the mentality of giving it a try, but they didn't expect to catch them red-handed."

"But if that happens, wouldn't our clues be lost? We want to know where these missing children went, and this guy is the only one who knows the details."

“It’s time to ask this collaborator to do me a favor.”
-
After three days and three nights of interrogation, a detailed transcript of intelligence was stored in the special secret archive room of the Abyss Port Military Supervision Bureau.

Farida hurried in with a document under her arm.

"Farida Hood, trainee military supervisor of the special task force." She took out her ID and handed it to the guard: "I'm here to store the investigation materials."

After verifying that there was no problem, the military supervisor guarding the gate waved his hand and asked the sentry to let them pass.

Farida walked quickly into the building. In the cold concrete corridor, her eyes quickly scanned the faded nameplates that looked like those on the doors of prison cells.

[KGB-3211 Archives, KGB-3211 Archives…]
She trotted and looked around, and finally, she stopped and her eyes lit up, and she found the archive room where the interrogation documents were stored.

She moved closer to the camera in front of the door, passed the iris recognition through the robot, and walked in.

In order to prevent all forms of peeping and intrusion, there are no surveillance cameras installed in these archives rooms and offices.

Therefore, the Military Supervision Bureau has strict control over the people coming in and out.

After Farida went in, she quickly closed the door and leaned against it to listen to the noise outside.

Apart from the sounds of a few doors opening and closing, there was no sound of approaching footsteps.

Farida immediately opened the leather bag, took out a stack of blank paper, an ink box and a feather pen, and accurately found the interrogation file of the priest, spread it on the table in the room, and began to copy it.

She had limited time and had to finish copying this top-secret transcript before the other military supervisors on the task force discovered that she was missing.

She planned to have this transcript delivered to Horatio to ensure that the clues were kept.

Time passed with the rustling sound, and suddenly, a heavy footsteps came quickly.

Farida increased her speed of copying, and the words she wrote almost floated.

[Please, just a little bit more, just a little bit more…]
The footsteps got closer and closer, until finally, they stopped outside the door.

Wow!

The door was pushed open and Farida hurriedly hid the copied documents.

"Military Supervisor Farida?"

Military Supervisor Melina looked at the flustered girl in front of her, her brows raised and lowered: "Why are you here?"
