Four days later.
In the abandoned warehouse, several Marine soldiers were searching the entrance and exit. Lieutenant Colonel Sartoni and Lieutenant Commander Sartoni looked gloomily at the several circles of stools in the middle of the warehouse. Obviously, this was the gathering place of some organization.
A Marine soldier found a few strange patterned masks in the cracks of several broken cabinets next to him. Then suddenly a Marine soldier exclaimed and pointed to a wall in the corner with a look of horror.
The gray paint on the wall was hidden behind a huge black cloth. The black cloth was covered by two moldy wooden shelves. Because it was in the corner of the warehouse, no one paid much attention to it. At this moment, a Marine pulled off the black cloth, revealing the scarlet and glaring handwriting behind it.
All sins will welcome the final judgment. We came from the abyss of despair to bring the final and only justice.
The dark red words seemed to have been drawn on the wall by someone's bloody fingernails. They were sharp and slightly distorted, making everyone who looked at them feel as if a bloody hand was scratching their backs, causing chills to run down their spines.
It seemed to be some kind of crazy doctrine. Below it were names arranged in a vertical line:
… …
… …
… …
The names of the missing officers were stained with blood. Sartoni sucked in a breath of cold air. He suppressed the trembling in his heart and continued to read the names that were not yet finished. The name "Bellu Maybo" came into view.
Satoni and the lieutenant commander looked at each other and saw their own horrified faces in the other's trembling eyes.
"This handwriting is not the same as the previous one. The color is much lighter. It seems like someone added it in the last two days." The lieutenant commander swallowed.
"The last two days!!"
Satoni was horrified. "Isn't that the time when Berroumebé replaced the dead lieutenant commander Senjerry? Yes, that's it. The targets of this organization are all officers. That's why Berroumebé's name was engraved later. Damn it … if something happened to Berroumebé …"
This result was too terrifying. Satoni didn't even dare to think about it. He turned to the lieutenant commander and roared. "Seal this place. Don't let anyone come close."
He hurriedly left and ran towards the field. He could see the ranks of the navy recruits from afar. However, he didn't see Berroumebé's striking blonde hair. His heart sank.
When he walked in, Yarlin greeted him. His slightly pale face had an anxious look. The uneasiness in Satoni's heart grew stronger.
"Lieutenant Berroumebé is missing!"
Ya Erlin was the first to speak. His purposefully suppressed voice was like a clap of thunder. Sartoni felt as if his vision was going black. He shook his head vigorously and said in panic, "How did it disappear?"
"We found clues about the organization. Lieutenant Berroumebé insisted on going to investigate. Then, we went to a place. Then I turned around and Lieutenant Berroumebé was gone. I looked around but couldn't find him. So I decided to come back and take a look. In the end, I couldn't find Lieutenant Berroumebé either." Yarlin stared at Satoni. His voice was hoarse and trembling. "Lieutenant Berroumebé is missing. I have to immediately report to Colonel Monca and mobilize the entire 153 Branch Navy to search the town. Maybe there is still time."
"No!"
Satoni stamped his foot. He blurted out almost without thinking. Then, his expression changed several times. He said to Yarlin in a hazy tone. "What I mean is that we can't tell Colonel Monca yet. No, this will harm Lieutenant Berroumebé."
"Harm Lieutenant Berroumebé?" Yarlin stared suspiciously at Satoni. In his heart, he was already sneering.
"What I mean is that we don't know how many Marines in the Naval Branch have joined the organization. We don't even know if there are people hiding around Colonel Monca. If we report rashly, there is a high chance that the information will be leaked. Then, Lieutenant Berroumebé's fate can only be to disappear forever." Satoni's brain was spinning faster than ever. He said. "At that time, you and I will not be able to bear the anger of Colonel Monca."
"Then what should we do?" Ya Erlin was at a loss for words. He was completely at Sartoni's mercy.
"Lieutenant Berroumebé has just disappeared. We still have hope!" Satoni said. "The Marines in the branch can't be trusted. We can't alarm them. The only ones we can trust are you recruits. Now, take your people and follow me."
"Un, understood!"
Yarlin turned around and ran to the recruits. After organizing the team, he followed Lieutenant Colonel Satoni out of the gate of the base. Under the leadership of Yarlin, the team went straight to the location where Berroumebé disappeared.
Gradually approaching the outskirts of the town of Shields, Yarlin stopped in front of a four-way alley. He turned his head and said to Satoni. "At this place, I felt that someone was spying on me. I turned my head to look. When I turned my head, Lieutenant Berroumebé was gone."
"Four forks in the road!"
Satoni's face was ugly as he stared at the intersection. There was no good way. He could only let Yarlin scatter the people to look for possible clues.
"Then I'll lead the team this way. Lieutenant Colonel Satoni, you go that way. We'll go to the front …" Yarlin pointed at a low gray building a few hundred meters across the alley. "Let's meet up there."
Without waiting for Satoni to speak, Yarlin called a few recruits and hurriedly went into the alley. Satoni didn't notice anything suspicious. He started searching with his back facing Yarlin. Behind him were four Marine recruits.
This location was close to the outskirts of Shields Town, so there were no signs of people living there. The surrounding houses were all empty, and the quiet streets were littered with broken stones, wooden stubble, and smelly garbage bags.
After walking forward 50 meters, Satoni's pupils suddenly shrank. He squatted down and found a few drops of blood at the base of the wall. He squatted down and reached out to touch it. The blood had just coagulated.
Following the blood droplets, he could see an intermittent blood line leading to the distance. Satoni quickly walked along the blood line. The four Marine recruits behind him looked at each other silently and followed without saying a word.
At the back of the gray building, there was a withered yellow tree. The blood traces stopped here and disappeared. Satoni looked at the building in front of him in surprise. This seemed to be the rendezvous point that Yarlin had just pointed to. He turned his head and looked around, but didn't see Yarlin's figure.
He felt that something was wrong, but he didn't have time to think carefully. He walked down the tree. The soil on the ground was a little hard, but there were obvious footprints. It seemed like someone had just left in a hurry. Satoni looked at the soil under his feet, sweat dripping down his forehead.
