Inside the director's office.
Landsky was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, looking like a professional. Compared to the energetic and experienced look of the trench coat, this outfit gave her a different kind of charm.
His slender legs, in particular, became even longer under his trousers. It was really eye-catching.
Schmidt, who was standing opposite her, did not care about her.
He looked at her angrily.
"Why did you do that?"
Schmidt questioned the man.
"What do you mean?"
Landsky frowned.
"Stop acting like an idiot!
Why did you do something so childish?
2567 is not a nice guy. What you did will only backfire! "
Schmidt's voice rose a notch.
"Schmidt, the reason why I let you into my office was not because of your suspended status as a chief officer. It was because I thought that you were an upright person. I never thought that you would plead for mercy on behalf of a criminal. You even threatened me!"
Tally said in a cold tone.
"Hah! Righteousness doesn't mean I'm an idiot!
I know what you big shots are up to, and I also know what 2567 will do. Let me tell you, if you want to deal with 2567 the way you usually do, you've chosen the wrong person! "
Schmidt laughed, stood up, and prepared to walk out.
"Is that so?
Are you sure?
"Then, have you ever thought about who's left in 1st Black Street without the Bird of Death?"
A useless potionologist, a half-baked shaman, or that poor couple. You can't be thinking that it's that idiot and your ex-partner who's in a coma, right? "
The corners of Landsky's mouth lifted into a mocking smile.
"You!"
Schmidt immediately widened his eyes.
The threat was too obvious.
The rage in his heart almost made him lose his mind and pull out his gun to blow the woman's head off.
Tally continued to laugh when she saw Schmidt was glaring at her angrily.
"I've said it before, Schmidt, you are a righteous man. You won't understand what a despicable person would do. Of course, this isn't my decision, I'm just following orders.
"The big shots above, the real big shots, think that we shouldn't let the mystics run wild anymore. They think that the mystics should be placed in a better place."
Tally emphasized.
"So, you became the executor?"
Schmidt snorted coldly.
He could read between the lines, but that didn't mean he would give in.
If he had given in, he wouldn't have been able to keep his position as a sheriff. With his achievements, he would have been promoted to the position of director long ago.
"That's right, I've become an Executor, an Executor who creates the future!"
Tally said in a determined tone.
"Then, have you ever wondered why no one before you succeeded?"
Schmidt retorted.
"Are you talking about Nikorei? The strongest shaman on the West Coast? Or Dark Star, Night Demon, Unicorn, White Deer, or Polaris? Or is it that extremely mysterious Templar? "
"Don't be naive, they've all disappeared."
"Therefore, for us ordinary people, this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"Join us!"
"Schmidt, you will be the best assistant I have ever seen!"
At the same time, you will also step into the real top ranks, understand the vastness of this world, and enjoy a real life! "
Tally suddenly extended an invitation to Kieran.
"Ordinary people?
As a robber, please don't put yourself in the position of a weakling.
"This will only make me sick!"
Schmidt rejected the offer without hesitation.
"What a pity!"
Landsky shook her head in pity.
"Are you ready to make your move?"
"Big shots like you are always like this."
"Come on!
"Is it here or here?"
Schmidt pointed at his chest and then at his neck.
"No, no!
I'm just thinking that if you join us, we might spare 2567's life. But now?
Are you ready to bury his body? "
Tally stood up from her chair, wagging her finger at Schmidt.
"If you guys could deal with 2567, why would you waste so much time talking to me?"
Schmidt said with a disdainful smile.
"It would have been impossible in the past, but now …
"He didn't bring any weapons and was locked up in a special interrogation room. Those who wanted to see him dead contacted me before and I thought they would take good care of him."
Tally Landsky said in an unusually firm tone.
"Then have you ever wondered why 2567 isn't armed?
Don't tell me he's worried that his weapon will be confiscated. You guys can't do that! "
Schmidt asked.
"Oh? Why would he do that?"
Tally looked at Schmidt with an interested gaze.
"Because when he cooperated with you guys to enter this place, he already knew everything.
"Moreover, he thinks that none of this will threaten him!"
"That's why you should prepare a few more body bags!"
Schmidt said, emphasizing each and every word.
"Let's wait and see!"
Tally paused for a while before she said slowly.
At the same time, she quietly pressed a button on her desk.
…
In the interrogation room.
After locking Kieran in the interrogation room, the deputy left in a hurry. He didn't even cuff Kieran.
Kieran expressed his gratitude.
This made it much more convenient for him to read books.
Of course, if the water in front of him wasn't poisoned and the interrogation room wasn't marked with a magic sealing formation, it would have been even better.
After entering the interrogation room again, his [Burning Hand] showed that it was sealed.
Kieran had expected the deputy to be prepared, so he wasn't surprised.
He was just curious about the magic sealing formation.
It wasn't something a normal mystic could master.
At the very least, it had to be someone who could be called a master.
This was what he had read in Nikorei's library, "West Coast Paranormal Event Summary (Year E)". The author, Whist Ray, had described how Nikorei had easily completed this Master-level formation when she was only 15 years old.
On top of that …
She had even improved on it.
"If it was just a normal magic sealing formation, I would have been able to do it when I was 10 years old!"
When Kieran had asked Nikorei for help with the book, her words had left a deep impression on Kieran.
He really didn't know how to comment on Nikorei's talent.
Other than the word "monster", he couldn't think of anything else.
Of course, Kieran wouldn't say it in front of Nikorei.
It was just like the prophecy he had made.
Nikorei hated that word as well.
"A mystic from the upper echelons of the government?
Or is he colluding with some local thugs? "
Kieran guessed.
But soon enough, he immersed himself in his reading again.
He was about to finish the book.
However, when there were only a few pages left, the interrogation room door opened.
The loud footsteps and malicious gazes interrupted Kieran's thoughts.
He had to look up.
There were three people in total. They were of different sizes, some strong, some skinny.
However, it was enough to fill up the small interrogation room.
"Where is the [Fantos Manuscript]?"
The leader standing in the middle asked directly.
"Are you here for the [Fantos Manuscript]?
Are you guys from the East Coast? "
Kieran looked at the newcomers in shock.
The other party's appearance had really exceeded his expectations.
He hadn't expected Tally Landsky to be this resourceful. She had found out everything about the Sunshine Mary in such a short time and even contacted the East Coast mystics.
Or …
"Did the East Coast mystics contact Tally Landsky?"
Kieran squinted his eyes as he thought about it.
Both of them had very different conclusions.
If it was the former, Kieran would have to reevaluate Tally Landsky.
If it was the latter, Kieran would have to reevaluate the East Coast mystics.
The East Coast mystics didn't seem to mind cooperating with the government.
It wasn't like the West Coast at all.
Nikorei's appointment as the consultant to the police station was already shocking enough. If she hadn't been so powerful, she would have been kicked out of the job a long time ago.
The leader seemed to think that he had given Kieran too much time to think.
The leader spoke again.
"Speak! Where is the [Fantos Manuscript]?"
The leader's tone was getting more and more impatient.
The other two beside the leader also expressed their impatience in their actions. They walked towards Kieran, who was just inches away from them.
They wanted to grab Kieran's wrist and slam him on the table.
Then, they would use a more direct method to force Kieran to tell them everything they wanted to know.
As for being cautious?
Was there a need to be extra cautious when dealing with an unarmed mystic who was trapped in a magical sealing circle?
They didn't think it was necessary.
Even if their opponent was the Bird of Death who had recently risen to fame.
Therefore, when they were kicked to the wall along with the table and suffered the continuous heavy blows, the three of them were in disbelief.
Instinctively, they wanted to resist.
However, Kieran's kicks were too fast and powerful.
They could not imagine how Kieran had been able to execute such a powerful kick so quickly.
It was different from the information they had gathered.
2567 was an expert in wielding a greatsword, a bow, a spear, and firearms. He was also an expert in charging battles and fire element spells.
However, the scene before their eyes told them that they had missed out on the most important point.
It would be fatal.
Bang Bang Bang!
The narrow, small interrogation room had become the best stage for [Hundred Violent Kicks].
When [Barsical Kick]'s special effect [Bide] activated, [Hundred Violent Kicks] became even faster and more powerful.
Layers and layers of leg shadows appeared in front of Kieran in a 120-degree angle, enveloping the three of them. When Kieran stopped, the three of them were no longer human.
One of them had a piece of equipment with a green glow on it.
Kieran scooped it up and walked back to his seat without making a sound.
He continued flipping through the book in his hand.
After a while...
"Even the Bird of Death cares about fate?"
A voice came from outside the door.
PS: The third chapter ~
The lousy player had to stay up late again...
Sigh, what a pity.
