Chapter 246: Remnants

The broken pieces of meat spread along the cracks in the ice and slid into the belly where liquid river water still existed. Many small fish devoured the unrecognizable meat paste one after another.

Mr. Li gave instructions to the glacier monster, and it took steps obediently and lay back down on the narrow river channel where the water level had dropped a lot, returning to its state when it was frozen. The ice melted quickly from its head to the back, and in an instant turned into flowing river water again.

Karl took out another bottle of vodka from his arms and took a sip of half the bottle: "Does the matter that requires us to come here have anything to do with the Soul Gathering?"

“Once something outrageous happens, it’s always right to suspect them first.” Mr. Li picked up the mask that had been shattered into pieces on the ground, felt it carefully, and took out a cloth bag to put it in.

Karl shrugged. Having experienced the chaos in Mo City, he had no objection to this statement.

"I've met Miki Inagaki. Her preparations haven't been completed so quickly, and many people haven't arrived yet. In the next period of time, I will track the traces of the soul gathering myself. If anything happens, you know how to contact me." Carl made a phone call gesture and turned around to leave.

"It has been confirmed now that Yueying is a subordinate organization of the Soul Gathering, and in the past few years, they should have absorbed some apprentices who can sense the art of divine grace. In short, don't be too careless." Mr. Li gave a few instructions.

"Don't worry, my nickname is the unkillable Carl." Carl waved his hand without looking back and disappeared into the night.

Mr. Li and Louis were the only ones left at the scene.

"Mr. Li, are you going to meet Miki Inagaki?" Louis looked at the time. It was 9:30 in the evening.

"I won't bother you tonight." Mr. Li looked at him, "Let's find a place first to discuss the details of Lisa's disappearance."

Lisa is her real name, but her family and identity were forged with official assistance, and she is a Britannian.

The first batch of apprentices of the Tower of Divine Grace were one of the first batch of apprentices recruited by Mr. Li who had a talent for learning the art of Divine Grace.

He performed relatively well and started his apprenticeship a year and a half ago. He was assigned to Tokyo to assist Louis, and awakened to become the Moon Initiator a few months ago.

"Her ability is to mark the state of an item. If the item is damaged, she can restore it to its original state, but there are certain distance and time limits."

"Later, she took the opportunity of becoming a Moon Initiator to join Moon Shadow and prepare to further investigate the connection with the Soul Assembly. Therefore, she was always worried that something unexpected would happen, so she discussed with me and put a Japanese learning textbook on the bookshelf. There are three hiragana characters in the 50-sound chart that are cut apart. [と] represents the Special Affairs Bureau, [つ] represents Moon Shadow, and [た] represents the Soul Assembly. If she encounters something unexpected and knows the other party's identity, the corresponding cuts will be restored."

"Every time she was about to reach the time limit, she would recover early and cut again."

"And as I reported before, the Hiragana representing these three were later found to have all been restored, so the initial speculation is that she not only determined that Yueying had the presence of the Soul Gathering, but also discovered that it was related to the Special Affairs Bureau."

"That's it. I didn't ask the Special Affairs Bureau for assistance, but chose to conduct an in-depth investigation on my own."

What Louis said was no different from what he had reported in the Heavenly Node before. Mr. Li sighed and said, “Where’s the book?”

"In order to avoid the Special Affairs Bureau from finding any traces, I just confirmed the information and didn't take it away." Louis shook his head, "If you need it, I can get it now."

"Forget it. It doesn't matter anymore." Mr. Li gave up this plan.

"Over in Europa, hasn't the Holy See come yet?"

"You may have heard that the remnants of the Demon Lord have been causing trouble all over Europe recently. The Paladins are trying to put out fires everywhere. Jennifer, who traveled all over the world, has also rushed back and plans to come back after she has cleared the area. After all, Miki Inagaki has given her plenty of time. The warlocks of the Tower of Grace are also assisting the Holy See. I just came here to learn about the situation first. Carl, on the other hand, has been in Tokyo recently."

“Very clumsy.”

"Yes, everyone can see that their purpose is to rescue the Demon Lord who was suppressed in the Holy Pond of Mo City, but we cannot ignore other places. Extraordinary existences also need the people as their cornerstone."

Lewis's eyebrows moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, and he didn't comment.

"Thank you for your hard work during this period. Lisa mentioned to me before that she is not used to the culture and customs here. So I think it's my fault for not arranging the tasks properly."

"I can adapt to any place as long as I can paint." Louis was even wearing a traditional kimono at this time, but it was very inconsistent with his Western face.

Mr. Li nodded and chuckled: "I can see that."

He continued to talk about some information, but they had the existence of a heavenly node, and they could actually communicate almost every day, but that kind of communication could never compare to this face-to-face conversation.

"Don't worry about me. Just maintain your normal habits. The Special Affairs Bureau already knows about my arrival. I will find them tomorrow and give a lecture at the Extraordinary Academy here. Of course, Lisa's whereabouts must be investigated. Even if she dies, her body cannot fall into the hands of the Soul Assembly."

"Okay, I understand."

Mr. Li left Louis's house without any cover until he reached a dark place, where he changed his appearance, pretending to be an ordinary local, and came to an apartment right next to Lisa's apartment.

He even had the door card here, so he came to a room and took out the key to open the door just like any other ordinary resident.

Looking around, the decoration was very simple, and there was a layer of fine white dust on the table. It was obvious that no one had lived here for some time.

When he came to the room, there was a bookcase. He casually pulled out a Japanese language textbook for beginners.

On the hiragana table, he stroked the words 【と】【つ】【た】 with his fingertips, and they were indeed intact.

Next, he turned to the Katakana table.

Unlike the previous one, this one is almost entirely cut, with only two katakana not cut.

If you want to make it smooth, it is [ルイ], which is often used to refer to the name Louis.

Mr. Li put the book away expressionlessly, restored the traces of the bookshelf, and left without searching for anything else.

"Hey, listen to me, I just discovered a super law."

Black Tali.

A country on the Mediterranean coast, famous for being the birthplace of pizza and its pizza fundamentalism.

The capital, Rome, is the spiritual home of countless people.

"Well, my great Ph.D. in physics and mathematics, you have discovered some earth-shattering super law. I hope this will have an impact on my salary and make it look better."

Near Piazza Venezia in Rome.

Around noon, two patrolmen came out of the coffee shop with two cups of coffee and stood at the entrance of the alley, watching people happily spending their Roman Holiday while drinking coffee and chatting. "Ahem, I would like to call it Enzo's First Law, and name it after me." The young patrolman coughed twice and lowered his voice, "I found that as long as I say 'It's a relaxing and beautiful day', something bad will happen in a second or two, or a few minutes."

"I think I've seen this in a short video. Let me think about it. Yes, it's called 'unfortunate bias'. It's all self-righteousness." The older patrolman tapped his head and told him not to think so much.

"My registration was preempted?!" The young patrolman couldn't accept it. "No, it's definitely different."

"Okay, just shout now." The old patrolman didn't care. He looked at the wall and saw that there was no urine stain. Then he leaned against it and drank the coffee which was not so hot.

The young patrolman took a deep breath and looked around the street. It was the weekend, and tourists and locals were mingling. Couples were eating snacks, adults were holding their children, and a few fishermen were strolling around with smiles on their faces, carrying a big fish they bought from some market.

"What if I disturb their wonderful holiday?" The young patrolman still had some conscience.

"Okay, let me explain it. I guess you're the only one who can explain this law." The old patrolman stuffed the coffee into the other person's hand.

"Sure, Boss, you try it."

"Look, the sun is so bright. It allows women to wear less and doesn't make me sweat all over. Today is such a relaxing and beautiful day. I really hope my salary can increase twenty times~"

Nothing happened.

The old patrolman took back the coffee, drank it all, and spread his hands: "So, do you want to tell me again in person?"

The young patrolman opened his mouth and was about to say something when he heard a loud bang coming from behind him. He was so scared that he subconsciously shrank his neck and his hand reached for his gun bag.

The old patrolman grabbed him extremely quickly and dragged him into the alley, with his gun drawn, staring vigilantly in the direction of the loud noise not far away.

The street, which was bustling just a moment ago, suddenly became quiet because of the explosion. Everyone's attention was drawn to it, and before they could say anything, they could only stare blankly at the large amount of smoke and dust coming out of a building not far away, and the faint screams coming from the nearest street.

Several tourists from Japan looked very surprised when they saw this. They seemed to have seen this scene before! So they screamed for the first time and ran away madly in the puzzled eyes of others, breaking the stereotype of Westerners that they could not run fast. They ran quite fast.

There is no way, I can only say that I have too much experience.

When encountering such things, they will immediately think of it as an extraordinary disaster.

Originally they traveled here to avoid encountering the supernatural events that occurred frequently in the country, but now it seems that their Roman holiday will be ruined.

"Long live the Demon Lord!"

Along with this roar in a language that most of them could not understand, a figure quickly expanded, broke through the building in an instant, and turned into a two-headed giant monster more than ten meters tall.

Smoke and dust rose into the sky, and fine stone chips scattered like flowers from heaven, and people's big mouths were filled with a lot of them.

Only then did they finally realize what they had encountered.

Screams began to spread and the fisherman turned and ran, refusing to let go of the big fish in his hands.

The mother covered her child's eyes and joined the escape.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

Two patrolmen rushed out of the scene, trying to maintain order in the collapse to avoid any stampede.

"South of the Colosseum, South of the Colosseum, a supernatural event has occurred, emergency call, a supernatural event has occurred - what did you say?! We should delay it?! Damn it, I don't want my child to receive a hero allowance. We only have two pistols that can hit people without killing them. The thing on the other side is as high as a mountain, and we can't even shave our fingernails! Hurry up and get the army over here!"

"Boss—"

"From now on, shut your stinky mouth that has been kissed by the tongue of the god of death!" The old patrolman raised his gun tremblingly, turned his head and roared with a flushed face.

"Ugh" The young patrolman who had saliva sprayed on his face was speechless. It was clearly you who said that because you didn't believe it. The god of death should be kissing you with tongue, not me.

After just looking a few more times, they also discovered that this monster didn't seem to have any interest in ordinary people. He seemed to be fighting with someone, probably also an extraordinary person.

"Lev, follow your demon lord and go to hell!"

Floating in front of the two-headed giant was the priest Brand. As he shouted, a shadow emerged behind him. A giant of light blocked the attack from the opposite side, tearing a long scar.

Lev gave up the fight and tried to continue running away.

Brand caught up directly, and the Giant of Light swooped down and hugged him, and the two behemoths rushed into the ancient Roman Colosseum together amid the chaos of tourists.

Some local elderly people were so shocked by the scene that they covered their hearts on the spot and their eyes went dark.

My goodness, a few years ago we were still laughing at the Gauls for almost not being able to protect their own iron tower, but we didn’t expect the boomerang to hit us back.

If we give them another chance, they will still laugh.

"Believe in the Demon Lord and you will have eternal life! Come out, servants!" Lev inserted his hands into his chest and tore it open suddenly. More than a dozen people with wings of flesh and blood flew out, bypassed the arms of the giant of light, and attacked Brand in a strange way.

Brand frowned and said, "So, the core believers are hiding here. No wonder we can't find them."

In the past few years, Lev, who escaped from the chaos in Mo City, claimed to be the number one general under the Demon Lord, secretly recruited soldiers and developed many followers of the Demon Lord.

But after being wiped out several times by the traveling Jennifer, it disappeared. Until recently, it seemed to have accumulated a wave of strength, and began to become restless. Its actions became obvious, and it even caused several extraordinary disasters in several European countries, saying that it was announcing the return of the Demon Lord.

However, in reality, the Demon Lord was still imprisoned. Ye Jie had been staying in Mo City, practicing hard, and had not stepped out of Mo City for three years.

Therefore, the remnants of the Demon Lord knew clearly who they should not offend, and they did not dare to go to Mo City to give themselves up.

The purpose of causing chaos everywhere now is to lure Ye Jie out and take advantage of the opportunity to do something.

"I'm sorry, but I'm probably not the kind of pastor you understand."

Brand untied his priest robe, revealing his strong arms. He swung a special nunchaku that he had taken out from somewhere and smashed the nearest person's head with it.
