Son of the Olden Days - Chapter 640

The final result of the discussion at the conference table can only be to send patrols on the street to catch the murderer by casting a net.

Although everyone is not afraid of fighting, the city of Freedom today is no longer small. When the murderer does it, where does it happen, everything is too random, and there is no trace of it. It’s impossible for everyone to do nothing and squat on the street every day.

The matter was decided in this way, hoping that the increase in defensive manpower would be effective, but everyone knew that this matter was not over yet.

Sure enough, the case still happened on the fourth night, the murderer’s style did not change at all, and the victim’s head was taken away silently. With the impact of successive events, the rumors finally fermented, and various rumors began to spread among the leaders.

Some say that a beggar will knock on the door in the middle of the night, and once you open the door, he will raise the cloth bag in his hand to signal to you. Whether you ignore it or give alms with kindness, you will never escape the fate of being the head of the owl, because the other party does not want money or food, but your head.

Some say that hearing a knock on the door in the middle of the night is basically done, no matter whether the door is opened or not, they can’t stop the other party. The other party will not break in, but has a unique means of sneaking in. Anyway, in the end you still can’t escape the fate of being the head of the owl, there may be a chance to escape through the window.

In short, as long as this weird guy comes to knock on the door, whether the door is opened or not, the final outcome of the victim will be the same. All kinds of rumors spread as if they were true, and people were panicked for a while, and they didn’t know if there were any cultists behind them.

After the occurrence of the fourth case, there were some additions to the facts of the case, and it still came from the victim’s neighbors. Neighbors claimed that after nightfall, they heard the knock on the door next door, and then the strong man’s house next door opened the door, and there was no more movement thereafter.

At that time, the neighbor was very curious. He had heard the rumors of knocking on the door in the territory, and wanted to open the door to find out, but he did not dare after all. After confirming that the neighbor’s family had been killed the next day, he still said his foresight with a look of fear.

The case continued on the next fifth day, and even the celebration of the old goblin’s preparation in the territory was postponed.

All cases have only two things in common. One is that they all happened at night, and the other is that the victims have their heads taken away.

The target selection of the murderer seems to be very random, and it is impossible to narrow the scope. Among the targets are men and women, old people and children, rich people and poor people, living alone and families. In short, there have been cases in almost all directions in and outside the city of Freedom.

However, since the fifth day, the scope of the murderer’s actions and the number of beheadings seemed to expand. On the sixth day, one family in the new city suffered a catastrophe, the goblins also killed one family, and the seventh day the orcs also finished two. Well, it seems that this murderer is not racist.

The number of patrols on the streets of Liberty City has been doubled.

Even the old goblin implemented a curfew system throughout the territory, but it was useless and still failed to contain the incident. After all, the time for a few knocks on the door at the time of the crime was too short, and there was no obvious violent movement, and there was no recourse at all.

Essen and Beagle also paid great attention to this. Their mansion in the inner city is equivalent to being exposed to the brutality of the murderer without guarantee. The elders of the orcs and goblin tribes also found the old goblin, claiming to have seriously affected the normal life of the people.

Nowadays, this incident has already spread to all three urban districts and alien regions of the territory, and almost everyone knows it, after all, it is related to their own safety. I thought it was an ordinary vendetta case, but unexpectedly it gradually evolved into such a situation.

These two days the old goblin was also a little overwhelmed by this incident, but he didn’t throw the pot to Sol, after all, Sol was not a **** either. The entire Scarlet Cross campaign still failed to find the murderer, and it’s useless if the individual is strong. You have to find out who the opponent is first.

In fact, on the night when he learned the whole story, that is, the fourth night, Saul had already plunged into it. However, what he can do is also very limited. It is nothing more than bringing people to join the patrol personally, so that he can be there as soon as the incident occurs. The same is true for Stanter and Diller.

It’s a pity that the incident that night broke out in the outer city, and when Sol hurried to bring people there, there were only headless corpses left in the house.

A few days after that, Saul had also been participating in the night patrol, but he was still unable to grasp the murderer’s tail. He felt that the City of Freedom was like a wide sea, and the murderer was swimming freely in it like a small fish, and it was really hard to catch it.

Saul even wondered if there would be a gangster monster into the territory, after all, that monster was named because he liked the gangster.

Sol basically patrols until midnight these days, but he is basically in the area around his house. Before figuring out who or what the enemy was, he was really worried that his shiitake mushrooms would be in danger, so he could only wander around the mansion at all times to prevent accidents.

The shiitake mushrooms were thrown into a room by Thor, and even the sleeping Beth and Chris were moved to the room. The guards of the mansion have also been increased, and each guard will ensure that there are at least two female guards, and go to the main bedroom aisle from time to time to stroll around.

Sol’s request for his own mushrooms is that once he hears a knock on the door, he quickly teleports away from the twin towers, and then is ready to enter the battle at any time. Sol put the two twin towers in the two mushroom bedrooms respectively, and the four mushrooms can quickly clump together no matter where the door rings.

As for the sleeping two mushrooms, it doesn’t matter. The Twin Towers can not only transmit a single person, but can also carry people or things.

On the side of Sinel and the non-staff party, Saul also notified them one by one, trying to arrange the work to be completed in the evening, and then rest during the day. Although there are thousands of families in the Freedom City, this is actually a probability. It is hard to say whose door the lunatic will find.

Since he didn’t know what threatened the territory, Saul believed that all caution was necessary. Since this guy has never seen his appearance before, there may be some magical means. Without knowing anything, it is natural that there is no effective prevention and response.

It’s a new day, and the old troubles are still unsolved.

When Sol came to the city hall, the old goblin inevitably complained again. There were still new cases in the inner city last night, and it seemed that the terrible guy had returned to the inner city again. In this regard, Thor gave the old goblin a suggestion, staggering the day and night if it doesn’t work.

To put it bluntly, it is like the curfew system, the implementation of a new work and rest system.

Work at night and sleep during the day, as he suggested to Salia and the others.

Saul didn’t know if it was useful. After all, the unknown murderer might have adjusted the time of the crime to daylight.

The old goblin hugged his hands thoughtfully after listening, but his expression was obviously reluctant. Because the adjustment and implementation and the implementation of the system are not difficult, the problem is that once such an announcement is made, it is equivalent to the official admitting that they are afraid of that guy.

But if this continues, one to six indeterminate victims every day. Although this number does not temporarily drag down the total population of the Free City, it has extremely bad effects on the environment and the stability of the people. That is not any responsible lord. Want to see.

What Saul didn’t say is that in fact, the adjustment of work and rest can’t say that it will be effective.

Because all the victims who faced the guy directly died in the end, there is no concrete evidence to prove the guy’s motive. Does he act because he feels people’s sleep at night, or does he habitually act as long as it is night.

If it is the latter, it means that it has nothing to do with whether the people in the house are sleeping. The murderer comes at night, whether the people in the mansion are sleeping, working, or doing other things, as long as there are people in the mansion, it will be done. If this is the case, it will be very troublesome.

Returning to the mansion preoccupiedly, Thor and Anduo bean sprouts prepared dinner for the shiitake mushrooms.

He is no longer going to participate in night patrols today. He hasn’t rested for a few days, so he is ready to supplement his sleep tonight.

At the dinner table, everyone was silent.

At times like in the past, Shiitake mushrooms would chat about interesting things about the territory or work to invigorate the atmosphere, but now Shiitake mushrooms all know that Sol has a lot of pressure outside. Although this is a matter for the entire territory, Shiitake mushrooms have always believed that Sol It is the backbone of the territory.

Sol can only smile as much as possible to encourage everyone to relax and be happy. It is not worth affecting the mood for these trivial matters.

In Saul’s mind, this was of course no trivial matter, but he knew better that he had to face it while he was alive, no matter what came.

After the meal, everyone sitting at the table was not as happy as in the past, and the atmosphere was still dignified.

Seeing An Duo Bean Sprouts cleaned up the table and said goodbye to everyone, everyone asked her to be careful, and it was not safe to have a door right now.

“I’m going back to read a book.” Kletty got up to go back to the room.

“Then I will go back and continue my research.” Lorna also got up.

“What books to read and study? Go to me, I have important things to say.” The Great Demon waved his hand.

When the mushrooms came to Thor’s room and moved the sleeping mushrooms of Beth and Chris into the room, the Great Devil closed the door with his back.

“I have a strong instinct, that guy might knock on the door tonight, so we must be together.” Sol looked serious.

“Bah, bad excuse, you just want to attack us to satisfy your evil desires.” Petty snorted immediately.

“Start? I have eaten everything up and down your whole body a long time ago. Is there still room to start?” The big devil smiled.

Listening to the evil tiger-wolf language, the four shiitake mushrooms, including the newly-joined Saint Elisa, all looked dull and shy.

Many times they feel that they have already experienced a lot, and they are already hunters on their own. But the big devil will let them understand every time that in front of the real old jungle hunter, your poor experience is not even a novice adventurer.

“How long have you not sang in a chorus together? I don’t think so, let’s just tonight.” The evil purpose was dismantled, and the Great Demon didn’t care. He took the four tender and shy shiitake mushrooms into the bed, and sat down there with their ducks.

Although the night is beautiful, it is inevitable to go to bed earlier now, so the big devil squeezed into the circle of shiitake mushrooms and began to tell jokes.

The jokes that Saul tells are all slightly evil, mainly from the usual narration of Stanter and Diller. These two filthy guys have always had related hobbies, and they are even more enthusiastic in collecting materials, and they can accumulate a lot of them in just a few days.

People from the people, from the aristocracy, from different races, from men and women, are nothing unusual.

Although Saul listened with gusto every time, his pure heart would inevitably be contaminated, and he could only take home and continue to contaminate his own mushrooms.

Where did the simple shiitake mushrooms have heard that kind of vulgar jokes in the style of Stanter, and in a short while, they would laugh and breathe shortly, blushing and blushing. Seeing that the atmosphere was about the same, the Great Devil stopped talking and rubbed his hands.

“Come on, my lovely little shiitake mushrooms, forget everything in the warm embrace of the big devil.” The big devil looked encouraged.

“No, there are two female guards who often come to patrol the aisle outside the bedroom. What if we are heard by others?” Lorna squeezed.

“Who else? Isn’t it good to make your shiitake mushrooms? Besides, who would dare to eavesdrop on me and deduct her wages.” The devil stared.

“What if the murderer knocks on the door?” Kletty asked.

“Just blast his dog’s head.” The big devil looked brave.

“Can’t beat it?” Alessa asked again.

“Then be beaten up.”

“Puff~”

Just as the big devil threw down a crowd of shiitake mushrooms to gather nectar.

“Boom~bang~bang.” The bedroom door was knocked suddenly, and there was a clear knock on the door.
