Volume 1: The Gate of Flesh and Blood Chapter 75: In the dark!

Click!

The crisp sound echoed in the secret room.

On a metal platform with a radius of one meter, a crack appeared on a palm-sized black crow statue. Kneeling in front of the statue, a man in a hooded robe instinctively went to check his own statue.

But just as he had the thought of taking action, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, then convulsed and fell to the ground.

The young man standing nearby, dressed in gorgeous clothes, was horrified.

"Your Excellency? Your Excellency?"

"What's wrong?"

The young man asked as he tried to help the man in the hooded robe.

However, the man in the hooded robe waved his hand.

"Are you sure that there is no 'power' left beside Andinan?"

The man asked.

"I'm sure!"

"Although Andinan's mother was exposed to the 'power', she was not able to use it in the true sense. And after his mother died, it was impossible for anyone with the 'power' to appear by his side!"

The young man said with certainty.

"What about his mother's family?"

"Have you investigated?"

The man demanded.

"We've investigated!"

"Except for a sister who was lost in early years, they were all slaughtered long ago!"

The young man answered immediately.

"Is that so?"

The man's face hidden under his hood showed doubt. After thinking for a second or two, he continued to ask, "Do you know Poirot Marple?"

"Poirot Marple?"

“The travel writer?”

"He's quite famous recently. I heard the waiters heard about him, but I didn't pay attention to him."

The young man answered truthfully, and then asked softly.

"Sir, is there anything wrong with him?"

"Um!"

"The crows I raised...were all killed by him!"

"In the 'Dragon Power' way!"

The man nodded.

"'Dragon Power'?!"

The young man exclaimed, and his whole expression changed.

"Is it the 'Long Wei' I know?"

The young man asked.

"It's the 'Long Wei' we know!"

"really……"

"The Robert family still has a backup plan!"

The man in the robe slowly stood up from the ground. He picked up the crow statue in front of him. His face, shrouded in shadow, was full of heartache and murderous intent. However, the man in the robe was not dominated by anger. He ordered: "Suspend all actions against Andinan first. We need to find out the real purpose of Mr. Poirot Marple. I don't believe that he would appear next to Andinan for no reason!"

"Yes, sir!"

The young man nodded, turned and walked out.

Suddenly, this man was the only one left in the secret room.

"The one with the 'Dragon Power' has appeared. Those guys will definitely be eager to see it... Maybe this is an opportunity?"

The low whispers echoed in the secret room.

Eventually it disappeared as the candle went out.

…

At No. 6 Castle Street, a hearty breakfast made Goethe feel that his hollowed-out body was replenished.

Having recovered a little of his strength, he could now move freely.

"Mr. Marple, could you explain to me what is going on here?"

Lanster asked with a smile.

"I don't know why these crows suddenly attacked us, and then suddenly fell from the sky and died. Maybe... they were sick?"

Goethe is talking nonsense in all seriousness.

"Yeah?"

"Do you know what disease they have?"

Lanster asked quite 'cooperatively'.

"have no idea."

"I'm just guessing."

"I'm not an ornithologist, maybe you could consult a professional?"

Goethe spread his hands towards Lanster, and then continued in a very serious tone: "Sheriff Lanster, do you have any news about the attacker last night?"

Before, he was exhausted and needed Lanster's "close protection".

And now?

He has recovered a lot, so naturally he doesn't need it anymore.

As a realistic person, Goethe doesn't want to be followed by a smiling guy like Lanster.

Before Lanster could answer, Andinan took the opportunity to step forward.

"Sheriff Lanster, a whole night has passed and I still don't know anything. I seriously suspect that you are slacking off!"

"You know, my three bodyguards and four guests all died in the attack, and two waiters were unfortunately killed!"

"They need an explanation!"

"I, too, need an explanation!"

"If you can't give it to me..."

"I'll go find your chief!"

The young man stood between Goethe and Lanst and spoke in a very stern tone.

"Don't worry!"

"There will be results soon!"

Lanster stopped his partner and said with a smile.

Then, without asking any more questions, he pulled his partner and walked out.

"Lanster, why are you stopping me?"

"Those two guys did it on purpose!"

When they reached number 6 Castle Street, Ge Gen said angrily.

"Of course I know those two guys did it on purpose, but I don't want to change partners!"

At this time, the smile on Lanster's face was gone, only hatred remained.

It's not directed against Goethe or Antonin.

But...

Those crows!

This was not the first time he had seen these crows!

The last time I saw him, his wife had her eyes pecked out!

The sheriff clenched his fists as he recalled what happened.

"What's wrong, Lanster?"

Ge Gen discovered that something was wrong with his friend.

"nothing!"

"Thinking of some unhappy things!"

"Let's go investigate last night's attacker first. By the way, go ask passers-by if anyone saw where the crow came from!"

Lanster shook his head.

"Okay, got it."

Ge Gen turned around and prepared to leave, but the deputy sheriff paused.

He looked Lanster in the face.

"We are partners."

"We are friends."

"So, if there is anything, be sure to let me know!"

Ge Gen said seriously.

"certainly!"

Lanster immediately laughed and hit Gegen on the chest.

Ge Gen also laughed, and then the deputy sheriff immediately turned around and took action.

Lanster looked at Gegen's back, his smile faded, and he let out a low sigh.

"It is precisely because we are partners and friends that I don't want you to know certain things! The darkness of the world before our eyes... is even more despairing than what you know!"

Lanster pursed his lips.

Once again, he looked back at number 6 Castle Street.

At this time, Goethe was standing on the terrace. When he saw Lanst looking back, he immediately waved.

Lanster returned to his smiling face almost instantly.

The sheriff also waved.

Then, turn around and leave.

It’s not the last step yet!

He has to rely on himself!

Not that bastard!

Goethe watched Lanst's back as he walked away, while Andinan directed the servants to start cleaning.

Looking down at the crow corpses gathered on the ground, Goethe narrowed his eyes slightly.

The extraordinary appearance was beyond Goethe's expectations .
