MTL - The Last King of Darkness-Chapter 18 decision
Rhode was stunned.
"He's an enemy... can't you kill him?"
Lauren's gray eyes stared at him, as if trying to tell the truth from what he said.
"He is the most important clue in the Red Rock Village lesson plan, and the only member of the pollution sect that we have mastered. We have a lot of information to obtain from him, and you also need him as a witness. He cannot die."
Rhode's heart sank all of a sudden, he didn't think so much at all. He couldn't find the spiritual lock that Lauren mentioned at the time, and his first reaction when he found his real body was to shoot.
Unexpectedly, he was actually shot to death.
In this way, not only did his suspicion not lessen, but instead heavier, because he had the intention of trying to silence and destroy evidence.
"Can't you interrogate the soul? He just died not long ago, you may be able to use channeling or something..."
Halfway through his words, Rhodes closed his mouth, because Bass' soul might be with him.
Lauren also shook his head slightly: "Special judgment is not omnipotent, even if we use the most extreme means, we can only obtain part of the information, usually we need to decipher and interpret, the soul is not as simple as you think, it is not a book, You can read it as you like. And…”
He glanced at Bass' body and frowned slightly.
"His spirit has completely dissipated... So fast, is it because of corruption, or the means of polluting the cultists?"
Rhode's hand clenched tightly. "Soul devouring" is taboo. If he is found, he will be finished.
But Lauren didn't seem to doubt him, and didn't mention those visions. He put down the iron rod pointed at Rhodes and said:
"This matter should be an accident. It's not your fault, it's my fault. I didn't expect you to find his real body. He used the ancient Siglais soul talisman. It is difficult for non-professional investigators to I found it within time, I originally wanted to push him into a corner bit by bit and force him to reveal more information."
He sighed slightly, his tone a little melancholy.
"This should be your tinder ability. The researchers at the Institute of Mechanical Engineering must have fallen ill again. They replaced the original meaning with their imaginary words. Your tinder can't be called Black Rice Bucket, that's his own code name."
Rhodes almost laughed, but when he thought that he was still in a dangerous whirlpool, he hurriedly suppressed his laughter and asked, "Then what should we do now?"
Lauren said sadly: "I will change it a little bit to emphasize the danger of the battle process, to imply that you are in a life-or-death crisis, but if anyone asks you, you tell the truth, don't lie, don't make any cuts or hints ,do you understand?"
Rhode hurriedly said, "I understand."
Afterwards, Lauren briefly cleaned up the scene and found a lot of items from the doomsday believer's den.
Soon, the Investigation Division of the Internal Affairs Judgment Office also arrived here, and investigators wearing large felt hats and black hats took over the scene and began to conduct a more detailed search.
Rhode was questioned. According to Lauren, he explained the process one by one, but concealed the abnormality about the black line and the soul.
The investigators did not embarrass him too much, and after recording the confession, they pressed the handprint.
"You go back to the academy first," Lauren said briefly, without much explanation.
A scout took him into a new horseless car.
As the wheels turned, the investigator pulled the curtain on the car window, and the last picture left in Rhodes' eyes was a group of people busy in the dim light in front of the huge warehouse in the dimly lit block.
All around them is dark, the boundless darkness seems to drown everything, so that a little bit of light, like a candle in the wilderness, may be extinguished at any time in the strong wind.
No one spoke, there was no sound in the carriage, only the sound of the wheels rolling on the mud.
"I hope everything is fine." Rhode thought silently in the silence.
—
The effective clues obtained in the warehouse were far lower than what Lauren thought, and as investigators from other places reported, Lauren's heart gradually sank.
Paying so much and getting so little results, Lauren knows, this level may be very difficult.
Sure enough, after returning to the Internal Affairs Tribunal, he was severely questioned.
"I'm sorry, it was my negligence that caused the failure of this operation, and I am willing to bear all the losses."
Before ruling the parliament, Lauren did not quibble and admitted the truth.
"Bear all the losses?"
A man wearing an iron mask and sitting in the first row said indifferently.
"The clues we obtained at such a high cost, you lose it? Can you afford this loss?"
"It's rare to see that our ace investigator also misses?" A thin and short old man sneered, "It's okay to miss, I'm afraid that he is a traitor and deliberately destroys the evidence."
At the ruling council, many people frowned.
One person said: "Kelama, this kind of speculation is irrational and unnecessary."
Iron Mask stood up, looked around, and said loudly, "This is not an irrational slander. A high-level combatant would miss this kind of mission. Don't you think this is very suspicious and counter-intuitive?"
A middle-aged man with blond hair shook his head: "I think you're wrong. No one never makes mistakes. You shouldn't be so demanding of a person who works in the most dangerous position all year round."
Iron Mask said coldly: "Okay, I'll assume he made a mistake. How can the novice who just ignited the soul flame be able to see through Sigleth's ancient soul talisman?"
The blond middle-aged man said: "This is because his ability just restrains the enemy. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Bass is good at concealment and deception, and he is good at piercing the fog..."
"Lie!" Iron Mask shouted: "His fire is obviously a black rice bucket. As soon as he hears the name, he knows that he is good at eating. He can eat a lot of meals at one time, and it has nothing to do with piercing the fog!"
"This is the sparseness of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering..."
"Okay!" The chief adjudicator sitting at the highest position interrupted their quarrel, "Mano Lobana, Mipor, tell your conclusions."
Iron Mask Hansheng said: "Immediately suspend all Lauren's duties, investigate him for malfeasance, conduct a special trial on Rhodes, the main sinner of the Red Rock Village teaching case, and obtain new clues at the least cost. Tolerance to him at the beginning was a mistake. , now it's time to make up for it!"
The middle-aged blond made the exact opposite.
"Lauren should not be punished, and we are not without other clues. Rhodes, the only survivor of Red Rock Village, has shown surprising potential. I think he can be given certain permissions to customize and cultivate him."
Iron Mask shouted angrily: "It's absolutely ridiculous! Murderers and dereliction of duty are not only not punished, but can also be rewarded..."
"All right!"
The Chief Judge interrupted him.
"According to Mipor's advice, but Manolo Lobana's advice for the record."
No one raised any more objections, everyone bowed slightly and said in unison.
"As you wish, Your Excellency Lucien, the Chief Judge."
But the iron mask's eyes flickered, and it was obvious that what he said was not what was in his mind.

On the other hand, Rhodes finally returned to Kingworth College.
