MTL - Whispering Verse-Chapter 9 Suspected extraordinary

"Very well, since the direction and time are right, let's catch up. If you can't catch up, go directly to the church. In short, you can't go hungry on the first day of the new world...I can't think like this, otherwise I will I feel a little pitiful.”

With such a "simple" thought in mind, Xia De took his things and set off along the low wall by the street, chasing the man forward.

In order to prevent being discovered, although the fog lingering in the city became thicker as evening came, Xia De still didn't dare to follow closely. He's self-aware enough to know he doesn't have the skills to stalk people.

As a matter of course, after ten minutes, when they turned around the back wall of a milk distribution company and entered the alley, Xia De completely lost track of the man.

"Ha~ Should I say, I lost it as expected."

Standing in the alley and looking around blankly, confirming that he really lost his target, he shook his head and gave up continuing to search. I didn't continue to dwell on this matter, since I lost my follower, I went to receive the "relief food", but—

"Where is this place?"

In a completely unfamiliar city, avoiding being discovered while following others, Xia De didn't have time to remember his own course of action, only knowing that he was now in a narrow alley with a very bad smell.

On the left is the façade of a milk distribution company, and on the right is the side wall of a three-storey apartment building. On the walls on both sides, in addition to the rusty pipes climbing to connect different directions, there are also layers of dirty words and graffiti, and there are garbage and feces everywhere under the walls.

Only near the entrance of the alley, there are two or three rusty large-caliber steam pipes piled up. It is unknown who abandoned them here.

"Go and see the name of the milk delivery company and find the current location on the map."

When Xia De had an idea, he no longer cared about the person he wanted to follow.

Turn around and go back the same way along the alley, being careful not to step on the indescribable filth in the alley. When he was about to walk out of the alley, he carefully avoided it, because a group of police officers in police uniforms hurried past on the street in front of him.

Among them, the tall middle-aged man with stubble on his face at the end of the line even glanced at Xia De. Xia De also looked at the man with innocent eyes, so the police officer ignored Xia De.

"Did something happen over there?"

Xia De stood at the entrance of the alley, looking towards the direction where the police were running. Because I don't know which street this is, I have no way of identifying what is in that direction of the street.

"None of my business."

He said in a low voice, and walked towards the door of the milk distribution company with a notepad in his hands. This is not a factory, but an office building of the distribution department. The yard is surrounded by a small yellow building with two floors, and an old dog that looks a little old is lying on the door.

The dog also took a look at Xia De who was close to here, and saw that Xia De just stopped at the door and did not come in, so he stood up lazily, changed to a position where the setting sun could see it, and lay down on his stomach.

The name of the milk delivery company is "Silver Parrot", a strange name, but it does exist on the map, and the former detective also marked that a murder happened here three years ago.

The murder case had nothing to do with Xia De. He walked forward with a quarter-expanded map while constantly confirming that his position was correct.

There are not many pedestrians on the street, and you will not bump into people when you walk with your head down. Unknowingly, in the sunset and dense fog, I walked along the direction of the pipe with white steam emitting from the wall, and came to the end of the street. There is a five-fork road in front of you. According to the map, if you walk diagonally to the left with the dessert shop, the distance will probably be shorter.

But the intersection was almost blocked by crowds at this time, and there was a silverware store near the mailbox on the east side. The signboard was scrubbed clean, but something seemed to have happened there. The team of police officers that Xia De saw at the entrance of the alley just now was maintaining order and preventing people from approaching.

While stopping to observe, more carriages came from behind Xia De and other intersections, and more policemen appeared here in just a few minutes. Even some people who looked like school scholars stepped out of the carriage, not knowing what to do.

Xia De didn't want to join in the fun at first, and now the food relief is the most important thing. But because there were too many people joining in the fun, he was pushed to the front of the crowd unknowingly while trying to pass the intersection.

Want to back off, but the people behind won't do it. The police in front kept yelling for people to disperse, there is nothing worth seeing here.

Probably seeing Xia De being squeezed over, he didn't intend to get close. The young police officer who kept order with a pen in his breast pocket kindly reminded him to be careful of thieves.

This made Xia De a little nervous, and subconsciously touched the tenpence note in his pocket. After confirming that it was still there, from the corner of the eye, another team of police officers with guns escorted three men in plain clothes into the silverware store.

The tallest man among them was extremely strong, and the young man walking in the middle had the aura of a scholar. The last man made Shad feel familiar. He seemed to be the missionary who handed him leaflets in the afternoon.

"Are missionaries in this world still working part-time in the police force?"

He thought of a conclusion that he didn't believe, and he held the coins and pocket watch in his pocket tightly, planning to leave here quickly, otherwise he would be late.

The moment he turned around and wanted to squeeze back, a strange warning suddenly came from his heart. Before I understood the reason for this feeling, I heard a voice—

boom!

The explosion was beyond everyone's expectations, and the sound of almost tearing the eardrums caused the crowd to burst into screams. Although the flames could not be seen, the glass windows of the silverware store shattered immediately, and the wall seemed to be skewed, causing the metal pipes on the wall to make a harsh metal twisting sound.

Fortunately, the police did not keep the crowd around the store door, so when the panicked shouts sounded, no one was injured.

The crowd immediately dispersed like a flood. Standing in front of the crowd, Xia De remained calm and wanted to leave. He saw a brown-haired middle-aged man running towards the door of the silverware shop:

"I'm a reporter! I'm a reporter! What's going on here?"

He grabbed the notebook with one hand and waved his ID card with the other. He rushed to this side more excitedly than anyone else, and was grabbed by the young policeman neatly:

"Gas pipe exploded, sir, please stay away."

After hearing this conclusion, Xia De couldn't believe it at all, how could the gas pipe explode—

boom!

Another almost heart-stopping explosion sounded in the silverware shop, and the oscillating air almost had the force to push people.

This time even the glass on the second floor of the silverware store was broken, and the police who maintained order had to flee temporarily due to the falling glass shards. While retreating, Xia De saw through the window that on the second floor of the explosion, there seemed to be two people fighting in a white mist, and there seemed to be light on one of them's fists.

The distance is a bit too far, and the fog that comes with the sunset is also reducing the field of vision, so Xia De can't see very clearly.

"Extraordinary?"

he thought.

【Yes. 】

The woman's voice startled Xia De, but knowing that the other party would not explain further, he left the place quickly without asking.

"The three people just now are definitely members of the church, and this kind of thing happened after they entered... Sure enough, the church in this world has a high probability of being an extraordinary force, and it seems to be closely integrated with the order of the kingdom ...In this way, the probability that the Orthodox Church can be trusted has greatly increased, I don't know if I have a chance, through the channel of the church..."

Now there are two choices, not only the psychiatrist, but also the five churches in this city, which also have the opportunity for Xia De to get in touch with Chaofan and figure out the voice in his head.

"However, how did it happen that I ran into this kind of thing?"

He followed the dispersed crowd and walked in the original direction, while the female voice in his mind said the sentence he had already said:

[Look at his ring. 】

Although he still doesn't know what the woman's voice is in his head, at least Xia De knows that the other party has no obvious malice. Immediately listening to the voice and looking around, I saw the young man wearing a pebble ring and carrying a suitcase again, UU reading www. uukanshu.com is walking not far ahead.

"Such a coincidence... No matter how I think about it, I know it can't be such a coincidence. Wait, the explosion just now has nothing to do with him, right? How could I have such an idea, and there is no evidence now."

With this thought, Xia De didn't want to follow him anymore. If the opponent was able to create an explosion with bare hands like the two in the silverware store, he followed the opponent almost equivalent to trying to replicate the tragic end of the former detective.

"No no no."

Xia De slowed down his pace, wanting to let the opponent disappear naturally into the distance of his vision. Unexpectedly, the young man also stopped, took out the map to check it like Xia De just now, and then carried the box into the alley next to him.

"To follow or not to follow?"

The woman's voice in his head reminded him of the ring three times, so he shouldn't be bored. But Shad, who knows almost nothing about the world, must also ensure the necessary caution.

He walked forward according to his original plan, and when he passed the alley where the young man turned into, he glanced inward naturally, and saw the man turned and disappeared at the corner ahead.

"To follow or not to follow."

He asked himself again, and suddenly realized that the next decision would affect his life for a long time to come.

"To follow or not to follow?"

He was asking the woman in his mind, he heard laughter, and heard a whispered answer:

【The road of destiny is unfolding in front of you, guest from a foreign land, are you willing to be ordinary, or longing for immortality? The world is like the ocean, do you have the courage to explore the horror beyond the safe island? The path of destiny unfolds in front of you, one leading to the extraordinary, one...]

"Chase!"

Gritting his teeth, Xia De leaned against the wall and entered the alley.
