Chapter 65: Dire Situation
London Street Policing Precinct.
Cass, who was going through the files in the file room, was suddenly greeted with a message from Coslin.
"Serious contamination source? Show up at the home of the dead sheriff."
The fact that the word 'serious' could be heard from Coslin's mouth meant that the situation was not good.
"They haven't even entered the area of the incident, but they have actually encountered a serious source of contamination, Fia, let's hurry over to assist them. Let's bring the information together."
"A serious source of contamination, how!?" Sophia was also scared.
Cass was worried about his teammate.
After all, being in an enclosed house was not conducive to the strength of Coslin, the sniper.
Han Dong, on the other hand, although he had shown great strength in the last ghoul incident, mostly relied on summons, and Han Dong's health was not as good as that of an ordinary person.
The two of them immediately put all the files about 'Block 37' into their backpacks and headed towards the exit of the security branch.
"Stop!"
Suddenly.
A security officer stepped forward and closed the door of the precinct directly, looking at Cass and Sophia with a strange look in his eyes.
"Honorable Trainee Knight, please return the files to us.
It is expressly stated that files involving 'contamination' are confidential, and only professional staff directly belonging to the Order or the Church are allowed to take them away with them if they have the relevant permit documents."
Cass had a keen sense of smell, and detected a feeling of something wrong in the air of the Police Precinct.
Immediately looking around the halls of the police substation.
All security officer who should have been buried in work, currently all raised their heads and stared at the two with a strange look.
"Fia, give them the files."
"I can forcibly take these files with the family badge."
"Give them." Cass stressed again.
"Okay."
After Fia handed over all the documentation.
All the personnel in the precinct who were watching the two returned to normal for a moment and continued to do their jobs.
The staff member who was in front of the two, smiled his normal smile and reopened the door to the precinct.
"If there is anything you need help with, the two trainee knights, we are at your disposal, we will definitely give our full assistance."
"Okay."
Cass grabbed Sophia by the arm and left the sheriff's substation, walking quickly to the next block.
Until they were completely out of sight of the weird staff member who kept waving goodbye to them.
Sophia blushed as Cass took her hand and hesitated to let go.
Cass, however, looked glum, more disturbed than the last time he had discovered the ghoul's lair.
"It's several times worse than we thought, I can't believe that even the London Street Precinct has a problem.
I was a little puzzled at first, how it was possible for just one vigilante to enter the Baker mansion where the incident occurred to search for it and subsequently die suddenly at home.
Now, it seems that a large number of security officers should have entered the house together to search for him.
One of them died suddenly due to his own strong will and autonomy to resist the intrusion of the pollution, while the rest of the security personnel should have been controlled by the pollutant."
Sophia, hearing this, also detached herself from the beautiful illusion and looked frightened.
"Ahh!! The entire police station was contaminated? How is it possible that this is already a homeland security issue, and the Order should be the ones to get right into it, right?"
Cass explained, "With the recent events and the problems at the police station, the information the Order got may have been falsified by the police station.
Of course, there's a time limit on the reward order. Once we fail to complete the mission within that time, the Order will immediately intervene, but by then it might be too late.
Behind the [Ghost Incident on the Streets of London] could be hiding a huge secret that threatens the security of the Holy City.
Everything was planned.
Manipulating a homeless man to commit a 'vicious murder' and lure a large contingent of the Sheriff's Department into the Baker mansion.
It's so horrifying that we've only touched on a portion of the information, and if we continue to delve deeper, we're bound to discover even more horrifying truths.
Let's leave that aside for now, hurry forward to assist Coslin and friend Andeva."
The two people called for a carriage and drove over at full speed.
...........
Old lady's house.
Thanks to the consumption of pure holy water, Coslin's condition has basically recovered.
Currently, he would only be affected by a small amount of visual hallucinations and auditory hallucinations, and as long as he concentrated, it would be fine, Of course, he still had to avoid a second contamination, or else there was a real possibility of degeneration and even a deteriorating situation leading to deformation.
Coslin also shuddered inside when he saw the eerie and bizarre scene of the second level.
His long-range abilities were difficult to use in such a restrictive spatial energy, it would be troublesome once he was close.
"Senior Coslin, can your device locate which room the target is in?"
There were three separate rooms on the second floor, and the current doors were all closed.
Based on the old lady's previous movement speed, once Han Dong and the two chose the wrong room, it was highly likely that the old lady would quickly flee or hide in some dark corner to sneak up on the two.
"It can, but it's limited to sensing, not clearly locating."
Coslin pulled out an item called a "resonance magnet" from his backpack.
The interior was mixed with high purity brass, and when near the source of the contamination, the vibration would intensify, thus coming to determine the distance to the target.
It was not possible to do a direct and accurate location.
" Senior, I'll search for the target, you back me up at the back."
"Be careful, this time it's not something simple, especially be careful and never look at the target for a long time."
"Mm."
Han Dong took the resonance magnet and stepped onto the second floor.
The evil aura that spilled out from between the floors would invade the living creature's body on its own, giving it a chilling sensation at first, while a large accumulation would cause serious symptoms such as 'bone necrosis' and 'organ failure'.
However, Han Dong, who was protected by the 'Bird Costume', had a black robe that could completely isolate this evil aura from his body.
He slowly walked past the three closed doors.
However, none of the "Resonance Magnets" in his hands reacted too strongly, Instead, when he reached the end of the corridor, the magnets would send out a slight vibrating sensation.
Han Dong immediately recalled the appearance of this building in his mind.
"It appears to have only two floors, in fact, the building has a triangular arch at the top, implying the existence of a hidden attic. From the magnet's detection senses, it seems that the target is most likely hiding up there."
As Han Dong tried to find a way to get to the attic.
Coslin, who had a strong affinity for objects, machinery, etc., found the 'mystery' on the kerosene lamp on the entrance wall.
Putting his ear to the surface of the kerosene lamp, he discovered the special switch hidden inside by the sound of the internal parts colliding when he turned the valve of the kerosene lamp.
Click!
The hidden switch triggered.
There was a mechanical noise from the ceiling level and a folding staircase unfolded and descended.
