The white moon has sunk into the horizon, and the sun has not yet risen. Only the moon shook the sky cast a glimmer of light on the earth. The ground before dawn came was shrouded in subtle darkness.

Now is the most tired time of the day for humans. The body and brain that have not yet received sufficient rest make people fall into the deepest dream. Even the noisy reporters could not resist the Sandman's offensive, which had dispersed not long ago, and only the yawning guards were swaying on the scene.

Curt looked for Yu Geely's trace in the direction pointed out by the staff, but after searching for a while, he couldn't find him. If he just wanted to smoke a cigarette to refresh himself, he would have run too far. Curt complained about why he didn't prepare a spell in advance that he could use to find someone.

"What's the use of preparing it? You won't know how to use it anyway." Liqi, who stayed at home, said in a long-awaited tone. She was still creaking and eating, and she seemed to be tired. "I've told you that there is no harm in learning more spells, anyway, you're idle all day."

Curt's magic capacity is not small, but his ability to understand spells is really limited. A magic capacity is not as slow as his spell, who just reads books and masters "flash guns" for about a week; and under the guidance of Liqi, he failed to successfully use the simplest spell for a month.

Curt's spell casting ability is not about projective spells. Liqi was so asserting at the time. In fact, she was indeed right. Almost all the spells Curt learned were skills to strengthen physical abilities or directly release magic. He had never touched such a use-type spell like "seeking people".

Even if you have touched it, you won’t learn it. Of course, if you are willing to invest a lot of time and practice it repeatedly, it is not impossible to learn these spells. However, after considering the ratio of investment to reward, Curt gave up learning of those complex functional spells without hesitation.

I only regret that I have few books when I use them, and the same is true for spells. If I don’t master enough knowledge through learning, it will be too late to catch blindly when I want to use them.

The slums and bustling streets in the dark are only a few hundred meters away, but they are filled with too many differences, which makes people feel that they are divided into different cities. Municipal engineering obviously does not take into account this small area, and there are only dilapidated old oil lamps on the long street. In an era when the work of street lamp maintenance staff has been cancelled for a long time, the long streets are only moonlight illumination.

There was a little restlessness in the stable air of the street, and the swaying candlelight was revealed in several windows. From time to time, you could see the shaking of people through the windows. At this moment when ordinary people were sleeping deeply, these people living at the bottom of society had begun to prepare to work hard for a new day.

Counting the light and shadows of the shaking windows beside the road, Curt slowly walked around several nearby streets. The streets of this slum seem quite narrow, not like the old city, and all kinds of forks are crisscrossing. They are all square and regular paths. It is difficult to get lost on such a road.

After walking around, Curt never noticed Yugeli. He thought he and he had missed it. After all, if they missed the interconnected neighborhoods, it would be very likely that they would not be able to find anyone. But when he returned to the scene, the staff told him that Yugeli had not come back yet.

"Where has the Supervisor Geely gone... Didn't you say he went to the nearby smoking a cigarette and would come back soon?" Another team's security officer whispered to the staff who pointed out the direction for Curt before, "It's hard for us to handle this. The on-site supervisor's work notes must be handed over by hand."

The next group of staff members who changed shifts have arrived at the scene. As long as Geely comes back and hand over the work, the previous group of staff will be able to go home to rest. When there is insufficient staff, every minute and a second is precious, and the security officers present are anxious.

The staff asked, with a bitter face, replied: "Even if you ask me, I don't know. Supervisor Geely said that he was going to go nearby to smoke a cigarette and rest, and then he walked over there. How could I think he wouldn't come back for so long..."

"Mr. Leinster... Well, the notice has already been said, it is the mercenary who came to assist in the work." After that, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Curt and said to the security officer, "He had just searched nearby, but he could not find any trace of the Supervisor Geely."

His move was clearly diverting his gaze. Curt, who was confessed by him, instantly felt that the eyes of the people present gathered on him. To their reaction, Curt could only shruggle helplessly and tell them that his search was rewarded.

If Yugeli was just to "smoke a cigarette to refresh himself", then he wouldn't have left the scene for so long. Judging from the reactions of these security officers, Yugeli didn't seem like a person who would leave his post without a trace. He disappeared without a trace at this time, and was probably stuck with the sudden trouble.

"Okay, everyone, calm down first."

One of the security officers standing in the shift clapped his hands, which made the commotion quiet temporarily. Curt noticed that he was the security officer who replaced Grosted in the Tree Spirit incident at that time. This time he seemed to be taking over the investigation at the scene.

"I know you are very tired and want to rush back and take a break. But please calm down now." Unlike the yelling look when treating Curt, the guard officer began to speak in a steady tone. The gathering of many people could only hear his voice. "You should all know that Supervisor Geely is definitely not an irresponsible person, he is likely to be in trouble."

According to the regulations of the security team, as the highest-level security officer on the field, he must deal with emergencies as soon as possible. He seemed quite experienced and quickly assigned everyone's work. The previous staff began to sort out the legacy of previous work, and the security officers who came with him were divided into several groups by him and began to search for the unknown supervisor nearby.

"Curter, Lynster, did you pronounce your name like this?" He walked to Curter, and the expression on his face told Curter that he was completely treated as a broom star by the security officer. "You guy is definitely the incarnation of Acanelos. Every time you see you, it means something will happen."

This guard is a believer who believes in the Holy Lord. The "Akanelos" he mentioned is the demon who spreads misfortune on the earth in the legend of this sect. In the legend of this sect, it is precisely because this demon exists in the world that people suffer all kinds of misfortunes.

Liqi hates the religion of a god called "Holy Lord" of this believer, but Curt doesn't care much. He has always been neutral about all kinds of beliefs.

"At best, I'm just a little crow. It's too much to say that I'm the source of misfortune?" Curt responded to the guard's greeting with a wry smile, "Of course, I just happened to have some cooperation with you in your work. It's normal to encounter the same problem."

Even if his attitude is neutral, it does not mean that he can accept everything. He is rashly called the incarnation of misfortune by others, and Curt cannot accept it with a smile. However, every time Curt meets him, the security officer will always be involved in a lot of trouble, and he cannot refute this.

"It's useless. These guys who believe in the Holy Lord are like this. They can't listen to what you say at all."

Every time she saw people who believed in the Holy Lord, Liqi would always jump out and criticize them, and this time was obviously no exception. A lot of nagging cited scriptures suddenly rang out in Curt's mind. Liqi had been resentful about this sect for a long time, and it seemed that it was impossible for her to forget this.

"Hmph, 'coincidence'? You said this to the three-year-old kid and he might not believe you." However, Liqi's words were still a bit correct. The guard officer obviously did not listen to Curt's words. He hummed, "Forget it, now there is insufficient staff, even a broom star like you must use it."

The lack of staff in the security forces is indeed obvious. The burden originally on Grosted was allocated to the new guards who were reserve forces. Not only work, but also the dark circles piled up around the eyes, they all delivered the new guards like the guards in front of them.

As a non-staff member, Curt has excessive working hours. In these guards who are overwhelmed by work, they are idle people who are doing nothing and wandering around the scene. Now they have the opportunity to push some of their work onto these idle people, why not do it?

In just a blink of an eye, Curt was assigned a lot of work by the security officer. Not only did Curt ask him to investigate where Geely had gone in the nearby neighborhood, he also asked Curt to search for the dirtiest areas of the slums alone, and narrow alleyways connected to several stinky ditches.

Curt did not reject this job. After all, he had been to places that were more disgusting when he was working in mercenaries. However, when walking in these places, he could clearly feel the darkness hidden under the bright and beautiful appearance of the city. The filth in the city flowed into the river through this place, and what you could see here was everything left from the surface of Katris and was eliminated.

"This is……"

But the security officer would always be involved in trouble, is it because of his own reasons or someone else's reasons? If the security officer came with Curt, he would definitely be frightened by what appeared in front of him. In the depths of the dark alley, a man was lying.

The uniforms worn by the staff had been taken off, and he fell quietly in the corner of the alley where sewage was flowing. Not the Prosecutor Geely, but the staff member who told Curt to go from Geely. He fell on the dark ground, and a swollen bag was blown out with a blunt object on his head.

He shouldn't have appeared here, because when Curt left the venue where the guards gathered, he was still sorting out what he found at the scene with his colleagues. (To be continued...)
