This strange phenomenon caused everyone to fall into a strange atmosphere. Only the Mage, who had been looking for trouble since the moment he appeared, kept shouting to the people around him, "Who was the one who spoke just now? Finish your words and make it clear."
He didn't realize that his "companions" hiding in the crowd had disappeared.
Unlike on Earth, the judges in the Lost Land needed sufficient scientific evidence to convict a person of a crime. However, in the Lost Land, the judges also needed the most basic material evidence to convict a person of a crime, even though they did not care much about the strength of the evidence.
Physical evidence could be a dead body, or blood stains or clothes left behind by someone who was injured. These things could be traced back to the source with prophecy magic, and the mages could see what they wanted to see. Witnesses, of course, were the testimonies of the parties involved or witnesses.
And this Mage, who jumped out and wanted to put a hat on someone's head, couldn't get any evidence to accuse someone of anything. Even if he went to grab the collars of the onlookers and asked them what they saw, the strange situation now made people unwilling to say anything, and they didn't dare to say anything.
After hitting a wall several times, even he himself felt that something was wrong. The atmosphere here was different from any other place he had seen. If the other party used violent means, unless it was extremely cruel, there would always be people who thought that they were not afraid of authority who would be intimidated by those violent means and become supporters of the other party in order to resist.
But strange means didn't need to be accompanied by too much blood. The fear of the unknown would make most people hesitate. People weren't afraid of death, but they were afraid of dying inexplicably and worthlessly.
Seeing that it was impossible to persuade the crowd, conclude the matter, or even kill the target on the spot, the man decided to use the backup plan. He said:
"In any case, we heard rumors of a crime related to you. So, come with us to the inspector's headquarters and do the necessary investigation and questioning. " After that, he turned to his accomplice, the Mage who was also not an inspector, and said: "Go, take him back."
How could those who had watched all kinds of movies and short stories not be clear about this? Once you entered the government, you were as deep as the ocean. After going in like a fool, you would still be at the mercy of others. When the time came, in the name of an accident, they would say to the outside world, "Unfortunately, the person died inside." Even the effort of a trial could be saved. This was the best way to kill with public power.
Therefore, a certain someone still had to struggle a little. "Hey, you guys don't have the qualifications to be supervisors, right? You can arrest them directly? "
"We are volunteers who have volunteered to assist Supervisor Lord Saer. You just need to know that you have committed an unforgivable crime and cooperate with our investigation." As the man spoke, the supervisor behind him, who was wearing a yellow cape, raised his head.
Looking at the two Generals Heng and Ha approaching him aggressively from the left and right, Lin only wanted to complain. Their words had already made it clear that he was unforgivable. Would it be good for him to obediently follow them back? Lin also pulled a long face and said in a low voice, "Doing things you shouldn't do, saying things you shouldn't say. Do you have enough awareness?"
"Awareness?" The man on the left sneered and said, "We should be the ones asking you that. Are you aware that you're going against the will of an inspector? "
But none of you are supervisors. While he was complaining in his heart, another thing he was more concerned about was that the Lich was too quiet. He turned his head curiously and saw Fen staring at him with an expression of trying to hold back her laughter. She had no intention of interfering at all.
And for the two people who were going to arrest their target, this was the first time they had seen the other party's attitude. In the past, under the leadership of Supervisor Saer, which one of the targets didn't tremble in fear? No one dared to resist, no matter how they were beaten or scolded. But this time, the other party was quite absent-minded. He didn't even look at Lin, but stared at the beauty beside him.
Did he really think that she was the legendary Demon King? What a joke! He was so close to the target that he could take the other party down if he stretched out his hand. As long as he returned to the supervisor's dungeon, even if he was a Great Mage, he wouldn't be able to escape death.
Then, his vision went black. The last thing he saw was an indescribably huge wall of fire. On the other side was a pitch-black starry sky. His body involuntarily flew toward the wall of fire. At this point, he was completely unconscious.
Although he hadn't been swallowed by the wall of fire (if someone was there and looked at it from a distance, he would clearly point out that it was a star), his body had long been ignited by the high temperature of the radiation heat. He was burning until not even a trace of him was left. The whole process was so fast that he didn't have the chance to feel pain.
The other person was just as lucky. Before he realized what kind of situation he had fallen into, he had already gone crazy. So even if he fell into a huge dinner plate and looked into the eyes of the alien creature with 17 eyes, he just smiled and didn't scream in horror. And on the other side of his vision, an equally huge head with three faces squeezed in. He let out a bell-like cry.
"Why is there a human in your dinner plate? But mine doesn't, mother is biased! "
"It has nothing to do with mother. It was this person who ran into my dinner plate. "
"I want to eat too!"
"No way! What goes into my dinner plate is mine! "
In the blink of an eye, two equally huge forks, one above and one below, stabbed the chest and abdomen. With just a little bit of force, the person was torn apart. The two Xenomorph muttered to themselves as they ate the unexpected delicacies. After the seventeen-eyed one finished eating, it clasped its four hands together in pairs and prayed sincerely, saying, "Dear Lord, please forgive me for not having enough."
"Thank God for giving me such a rich meal. I hope that next time you will personally come to my dinner plate, I will be full of gratitude and savor it carefully. "
In the square below the Pilsen Tower, everyone witnessed the two magicians who tried to catch the man disappear into thin air. No matter how slow a person was, they could guess what just happened and where the strange atmosphere came from.
And the man who kept looking for trouble, shouting, and ordering others to do things, at this time, shouted hysterically, "Where are they? Why are they gone? You killed them, didn't you? "
"Me?" Lin pretended to be innocent and said with a wronged voice, "I didn't kill anyone. I don't know where the people who left went. Their feet are on their bodies, they can go wherever they want. I can't control them. Maybe they had something to do at home and went back first. They didn't tell you, it's their business. I'm not their parents, I can't control so much. "
"No matter what you did, send them back! If you refuse, you will regret it, you will regret it until you die. "
"What happened to them has nothing to do with me. How can I send them back? "Lin continued to be stubborn. In fact, even if he relented, he didn't know how to save the people who had been thrown away by the Dimensional Banishment Spell. This was also the price of casting the spell quickly and easily.
"Damn it!" The angry magician was about to go forward to catch the man himself.
Lin said innocently, "Are you coming too?"
A simple question, but it made the exasperated man suddenly freeze, unable to move forward or retreat. With a rather exaggerated dumbfounded expression on his face, anyone could tell that this fellow was in a bad situation now. If he moved forward, would there be a different outcome?
At least the onlookers, whether they were magicians or warriors, didn't know how to deal with the strange magic that made people disappear. They should even ask, was that magic? The vast majority of people didn't understand the situation.
If they retreated, it would be tantamount to the first step towards the collapse of the prestige that these vile people attached to supervisors had established over a long period of time. Because there were people who didn't fear their fragile authority and didn't seem to have any means of retaliation.
"It seems that …" The supervisor who had been standing silently in the back, the Great Magician Sawel, spoke for the first time, "… we made a mistake. These are all misunderstandings. Let's go. "
To be able to rise to the position of supervisor in the famous Pearson City of Learning, Sawel knew how to judge the situation better than most people, because his companions who couldn't do so were either mediocre or dead. Only those with strength had the ability to play dirty. Of course, the focus was on 'playing', not 'playing dirty'.
Only those without strength had to be stubborn, bluff, and intimidate others. They couldn't take a step back, otherwise everything they had painstakingly built would collapse in an instant. But what does that have to do with me? Sawel thought so. Therefore, he simply turned around and left without any hesitation.
Seeing that his backer had left, the originally aggressive mage could no longer stand still. He looked back and forth a few times, and finally had no choice but to follow Great Magician Sawel with anger and regret. Although he was angry, but he didn't go so far as to yell at him. He lowered his voice and growled like a vicious dog: "Why are you leaving like this? This is about a lot of money. "
"Before figuring out what happened and what he did, I won't step forward again. If you're not satisfied, you can do it yourself. "
In the Pearson District, the followers of supervisors were usually not as loyal as other Magicians. Usually, it was a combination of interests. Supervisors provided power and force, while followers provided money and convenience. Each took what they needed. Therefore, it was common for the two sides to have different opinions and goals.
But most of the time, such conflicts wouldn't be brought to the surface, and cooperation could continue. But the premise was that they didn't cross some bottom line. But it was clear that the matter at hand had exceeded the limits of what Sawel was willing to do. If he went any further, he would have to risk his life. It was also clear that the bounty, especially the bounty that had to be shared, wasn't enough to buy his life.
Sawel thought back. Everything he knew about the Magician was from nearly two years ago. Perhaps it was time to find out what happened to him during this period of time.
