Chapter 83 Reinforcements (2-in-1)
Bang.
Lynch and Officer Natalie hugged each other and fell heavily to the ground. They rolled over and hit the wall before stopping.
Lynch looked at his hands for the first time and found that they were empty. The little Janet he was holding in his arms had disappeared. This made Lynch feel a little sad. Maybe no matter what he did in his memories, it would not bring any impact to the present world. to any changes.
A hand stretched out from beside him. Officer Natalie was already protecting Lynch and patted his shoulder gently.
“At least we successfully suppressed the strange objects from getting out of control and returned to the living world smoothly.”
Only then did Lynch realize that he had returned to the secret room of Grant Screw Factory, and everything was the same as when he left. It's just that the five executives who were gathered around the strange object by him just now are no longer there.
It was the first time that he personally sent someone to a dead end, but Lynch didn't feel much guilt. In his opinion, these people who had no bottom line in order to make money were not worthy of sympathy, and they were the cause of the disaster. It is only natural for them to solve it themselves. If they die in the memories of strange objects, they can only blame themselves.
“They personally sent hundreds of people in, and the fear of those hundreds of people formed overseer monsters, and then those overseer monsters hung them on street lamps. Ha, in the mysterious world, the relationship between cause and effect is always the same. It’s so twisted and weird, but there is no need to find so many reasons. Just say that they deserve it, and it will be easier for them to die.”
The police officer punched Lynch gently on the head and pulled him up. Then she turned to the set plate and pulled out the blood pool in the center.
No resistance was encountered this time, and the scenery was unplugged smoothly. At the same time, Lynch felt an invisible pressure quickly dissipate, and the surroundings completely returned to calm.
“But it’s a little strange that we still remember them.” Lynch said puzzledly, “Shouldn’t they be forgotten like those workers?”
"They were not swallowed in the normal way, and they have not completed the transformation ceremony of the blood pool. They will probably not be forgotten like those workers." The police officer made a guess based on past experience, but the hand holding the blood pool scene Suddenly paused, "If this is the case, after completely containing the strange objects, will they..."
Before he finished speaking, a burst of exclamation came from outside the secret passage, and then it became noisy outside. , as if more and more people are gathering.
Realizing that something was abnormal, Lynch hesitated for a moment, then took off his Ranger uniform and covered it on the set plate to conceal it, and then quickly ran out of the secret passage with the police officer.
A large number of workers had gathered outside the small building. The expressions of these people were obviously much more alert. They gathered in a group with panic faces and pointed in one direction. The supervisors did not scold the workers for being lazy, but instead gathered together. Some even had their legs shaking in fear.
Because the five senior executives who were always in high positions were lying outside the small building, exuding a disgusting stench.
It can be seen from a distance that all five people have turned into corpses. They are like food that has been chewed up and spit out. Their bodies are twisted into a ball of rotten meat, white and dense. The bones were exposed from between the dark red rotten flesh, shocking the people around him.
The body was indeed spit out.
A glimmer of hope suddenly arose in Lin Qi's heart. If these people were spit out before completing their transformation, what about little Janet?
She has not been completely transformed. Will the remaining soul be spit out, but we can't see the state of the soul, or may it wake up directly in the body?
For a moment, Lynch wanted to run to Mrs. Scott's house immediately to see her. This was his first commission, and it was an innocent little girl. Lynch still hoped to save her.
But after looking at the situation in front of me, let’s deal with the problem here first. No matter what, we can’t make it easy for Grant behind the scenes. Even if we can’t destroy his factory, at least we must take away his rare items. , Aren’t the Watchmen worried about the political influence and it’s inconvenient to come forward, so give them the excuse.
After making up his mind, Lynch grinned at the police officer and made a gesture of looking at me, then strode out of the small building.
"What's going on... Several gentlemen are dead... The corpses appeared out of thin air... The range has not really expanded... Chi Chi Chi Gu Gu Chi Chi Chi Chi Gu Gu."
Whether it is a supervisor or a worker, More and more people gathered, and the noise became louder and louder.
“Sir, sir.”
Seeing Officer Lynch and Officer Natalie coming out, the three supervisors who were at the gate immediately ran forward with joyful faces. This time they deliberately avoided Lynch and said to Officer Natalie with a smile:
< br>"Sir, what's going on? Gentlemen, what's going on..."
"There's a problem, everyone, listen up. We are police officers from the Rangers, the special department of the Hall of Order, specializing in handling factory accidents. Yes. Go and close the factory door. From now on, no one is allowed to leave without our order. If the problem here is not solved, everyone will die. There is no point in running out."
Lin Qi's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water. He pointed at one of the supervisors guarding the door, and then said in a solemn tone to the supervisor who had been pointed at by him with a gun:
"I can't explain what happened now." What happened, but everyone, including those of us, will soon become the same as Mr. Lika. You should understand what I am talking about. Well, now that you know the seriousness of the problem, you can choose two. I will accompany you personally and take our carriage together to call the police, not to the Hall of Order, but to the agency that specializes in handling these matters. The coachman knows the address and says that there is a very dangerous situation here and that five senior executives have been killed. , the workers are also in chaos, production cannot be maintained, and there is an urgent need for officials to solve the problem and restore production. The sooner the better, we will stay here and wait for reinforcements. As long as they are dispatched, everything will be fine."
The last few words were raised in volume so that all the workers and overseers present could hear them, while winking at the coachman brought from the Scarecrow Club.
Although the coachman was just an ordinary person, he was also a supernumerary hunter of the watch. He immediately understood and called the overseer to get on the coach quickly.
With the previous manager Frank proving his identity, and the order being reasonable, the panicked supervisor did not doubt Lynch's words at all. When he heard that this could save his life, he immediately jumped on the carriage and ran away from the factory. .
Seeing the supervisors being so cooperative, Lin Qi suppressed the corners of his mouth that wanted to curl up, and arranged for the supervisors to keep an eye on the door. No one could be allowed to leave. Leaving would be tantamount to death. Everyone was frightened after confirming that, It was unlikely that anyone would run out to deliver a message to Grant. He then felt relieved and guarded the entrance to the secret passage with Officer Natalie, keeping an eye on the strange objects inside.
For such a dangerous thing, even if it is only a fear-level strange object, we cannot let down our guard and we must not let it cause problems.
Sooner than expected, about forty minutes later, noisy voices were heard outside again. Officers Lynch and Natalie looked at each other and smiled, walked out of the secret passage and looked outside, and then they were frightened. One jump.
Many carriages came outside.
There were special carriages from the watchmen, police carriages from the Hall of Order, and many inexplicable civilian carriages. In total, there were twenty or thirty vehicles, and the door of the small building was packed with people.
As soon as the car door opened and the first person jumped out, Lynch discovered that it was Mr. V who was leading the team in person. He was also wearing a Watchmen-style blue windbreaker, with a small jewel-embedded hand hanging around his waist. Sword, elegant and elegant, revealing a compelling aura.
Mr. V looked around when he landed, and immediately saw Lynch and Natalie in the small building. He raised his hat and bowed to them, and then tapped his cane lightly.
Following this movement, the doors of the carriages behind them opened simultaneously, and people filed out one after another.
A large group of familiar faces, whether they are soul-shifters or ordinary people, all of them are wearing dark blue windbreakers, which is the symbol of the Watchers. Reinforcements from the Scarecrow Club's mysterious hunters have finally arrived.
More than forty people jumped out one after another, and almost all the scarecrows came out. They immediately performed their duties as soon as they got off the car. Some commanded the blue uniforms of the Hall of Order at the back to maintain the order of the workers and supervisors, and some surrounded the people on the ground. The five corpses were surveyed in detail, methodically and orderly.
The civilian carriages following at the end also made some movement. A group of ordinary people wearing loose casual jackets got out of the carriage first. Lynch was wondering about the identities of these people when he saw these people moving from the carriage. A lot of equipment came down.
Tripod, large wooden frame, thick black cloth, and spotlight as big as a human head.
As soon as the bloated camera was set up, the spotlights began to click and flash.
Lynch was stunned and admired, this V was really cautious, he actually called so many reporters, their nature would be determined as soon as they came, Speaker Grant would really be in trouble now.
"Sure enough, the deceased were all senior managers of the factory. There is no doubt that this was an attack on the Speaker's industry. There are dangerous items that caused their deaths. They must be found and disposed of before they can be released. The factory has resumed normal production. In order to ensure the safety of all reporters, please do not wander around for the time being and move around under the supervision of professionals until we dispose of the dangerous items and then lift the restrictions. I need to start working immediately, so I will excuse you." br>
V casually reassured the reporters for a few words, and then walked into the small building with a few soul-shifting watchmen. As soon as they entered the door, eight blue windbreakers looked at the two people waiting at the door neatly and deeply. Bow deeply.
Officers Lynch and Natalie were a little confused. They didn't know what was going on for a while, until Mr. V stepped forward and gently patted their shoulders.
“In order to avenge the tragic deaths of hundreds of innocent people, the two of you went into danger alone, even at the expense of making enemies of people in power like Speaker Grant. You did what we all wanted to do but couldn’t, and You have created enough excuses for us to intervene, and I am very grateful to you. You have done a great job.”
Lin Qi coughed dryly, blushed slightly, looked around for a long time, and then clumsily changed the subject: "Actually, the problem of strange objects has been solved, why did you send so many people, and even reporters were invited."
"These supports are not for dealing with strange objects, but for Grant. According to the information you provided, Grant attaches great importance to this place. With his inhumane performance, I am worried that if you have a head-on conflict with him, He will do some crazy things that are detrimental to you, so I gathered all the hunters who have not gone out in advance. If we have to confront him, we have enough power to scare them and prevent him from taking risks at the root. I also invited the reporter here with a random excuse. I just wanted to add a layer of security, but I didn’t expect that your call to the police came at such a coincidence.”
Seeing Lin Qi’s somewhat moved expression, Mr. V chuckled softly:
"There's no need to thank me. If we can't make our collaborators feel comfortable working together, then who will dare to cooperate with us as Watchmen in the future? This is also an emotional investment for future cooperation, hahaha, so you're welcome. As long as we can If the problem is solved properly and no more innocent victims occur, everyone will feel it is worth it."
"Oh, I understand." Lin Qi smiled and nodded in agreement, "The strange object is down there, and it has been restored. Contained, what to do next? "
"Although this kind of rare object is of low level, it can cause death when used, and it is not suitable to be left in the hands of ordinary people. After we, the Watchers, will collect it, it will be sent to them. The reception center in the capital Nolin is stored in a centralized manner. There is sufficient power there to ensure that the rare items are not robbed. We... hmm?”
Before the two of them could say a few words, they noticed that several more carriages were driving into the factory, making the front of the small building even more crowded.
Before the carriage even stopped, a man had already jumped out of the carriage, staggered a few steps, and walked towards the small building.
As expected, Speaker Grant came as soon as possible, and he came very quickly.
And just behind him, Walker of the Rangers jumped out of the carriage with two of his men, and there were two very familiar people. Lynch thought for a moment before recalling that they were two detectives from the Hall of Order whom he had met before. Long, two scapegoats who relied on Lynch to escape disaster.
As soon as these people took two steps, they saw five mutilated and strange corpses on the ground. Speaker Grant immediately covered his mouth and his face became extremely ugly. He was still hesitating whether to drive away the reporters who were taking pictures or go to the small building to stop the watchmen from destroying it, when he saw Mr. V walking out with a group of people, followed by several people carrying a set tray.
"Sure enough, gentlemen reporters, just as we expected, someone with malicious intentions dropped extremely dangerous items into the Speaker's factory, resulting in the tragic death of five gentlemen. Oh, the Speaker also Here it comes." Mr. V came forward with a smile and said leisurely, "Someone put this set plate in. This thing will kill an employee in the factory every day. Fortunately, the employees in your factory reported it in time, otherwise it would have happened. It led to a tragedy. I don’t know who hates you so much that he would use this method to harm you. By the way, this thing is not from your factory, you must have never seen it.”
"Of course."
Speaker Grant's angry expression was distorted, but in front of so many reporters, he had to clear up the relationship on the spot and make his choice as clean as possible, so no matter how angry he was, he could only Holding it in, he tried his best to smile and said:
“Such a vicious thing definitely cannot come from the factory, and I have never seen it before.”
"You must understand clearly that our royal institution and the city council have always had a close relationship. If your personal belongings were inadvertently seized, it would be a disgrace to His Majesty Rudolf's trust. Therefore, this is really not your factory. Something?"
"Really..."
The Speaker felt a sharp pain in his chest and his wig was about to fall off. He gritted his teeth and said an answer. The extremely stiff smile was faithfully recorded by the cameras around him.
"Then we will handle it according to the process. Don't worry, Mr. Speaker, we will handle it properly. Your factory is now safe and can resume work at any time." Mr. V smiled, "You don't need to thank us. Protect everyone. The safety of citizens is our responsibility, and we are always ready to serve you.”
This V is really annoying.
Lin Qi smiled secretly and disappeared, drifting away from the crowd.
He had been operating as a ranger today, and his true identity might not have been exposed yet, so he decided to leave the public confrontation to attract hatred to someone like V, and just make a fortune behind his back.
Although the Watcher did not entrust him with the work, he instead asked the Watcher for help. However, given the harmfulness of this matter, Lynch believed that V's personality would definitely have a way to satisfy him, so he made an appointment. He's going to the club tomorrow.
So Lynch was relieved and secretly admired Grant's expression of tears. This person has become the third most annoying person since Lynch's time travel based on his performance. Apart from the dead Randall and the undead mastermind, he is the one, so Lynch really wants to see more of Grant who is almost blown away but can't The way he looks like he's having an attack, if he really makes himself angry to death.
However, he said goodbye to the police officer for the time being and left in a hurry.
Although there were still a few hours before the night invitation, he was anxious to go back to the King's District to see if little Janet was awake. It would be great if suppressing the strange objects could make the little girl return to normal.
With such expectations, Lynch quietly left the factory and returned to the cobweb-like alley next to Charles Square with anxiety.
