The time was nine hours ago.

Four forty-two in the morning.

"This is the Barton County Maritime Administration. It is the 21st attempt to establish communication with the White Swan Harbor Offshore Patrol. The communication frequency band is BTE547. Please answer if you receive it! Please answer if you receive it!"

"The communication request you requested failed to be established.

Please try again later."

In front of the central computer of the coastal watch tower, the deputy director of the Barton County Maritime Administration who was woken up in the middle of the night and rushed here stood behind the correspondent who tried again and again to establish communication. As a heavenly noble, he usually had a pampered face.

He looked extremely dignified.

The coffee on the coaster on the corner of the table has gone cold, and the air in the central control room is eerily quiet.

The correspondent who first discovered something was wrong early this morning was looking at the clockwise rotating green radar scanner on the central control computer with a bewildered expression.

The coastal signal transmitter has been enhanced and raised to the maximum value, but no returning ships have been found in the nearby waters.

This has never happened before!

"Lost contact?"

The deputy director took a deep breath.

He asked:

"When was the last communication?"

"Ten minutes ago, the night patrol team of the offshore patrol applied for a return flight," the correspondent said.

"Then what?"

asked the deputy director of the Maritime Administration.

"Thirty seconds later, when the patrol team correspondent and I confirmed that the sea was safe...the other party did not respond." The correspondent said with an ugly face.

"Thirty seconds..."

The deputy director of the Maritime Administration shook his head and said flatly, "This is impossible."

What can you do with thirty seconds?

You know, Barton County belongs to the upper Kyoto metropolitan area, and even the offshore patrol team is an elite.

There are many people with high-level abilities among them.

To take a step back, even if the ship is suddenly and unexpectedly attacked in the early morning, there will always be people who can survive through various means, and there will be no news at all like this.

"But the patrol team's signal was completely interrupted, and the offshore radar could not scan any traces. It was like... it just disappeared out of thin air." The correspondent swallowed his saliva.

The deputy director glanced down at him and said expressionlessly, "You mean to say that the 'Black Triangle' of the extremely evil islands in the West Sea appeared offshore of White Swan Harbor? There was a black hole that suddenly appeared and swallowed our ship?"

"

"Well..."

The correspondent suddenly choked.

He knew that the deputy director who was called up in the middle of the night was in a bad mood. After all, this deputy director of the Maritime Administration who had been working in Barton County for so many years had never had any major troubles with the White Swan in his jurisdiction.

Seeing that the World Conference Dog was about to be promoted to full-time, who knew that such an unexpected situation would suddenly arise.

The correspondent secretly glanced at the gloomy deputy director and carefully gave advice, "If the enemy turns on the super signal jamming device when launching a sneak attack, it is possible to instantly cut off our radio communications."

"So... where is the enemy?" the deputy director asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Uh...this..." The correspondent glanced at the empty offshore radar scanner and lowered his head slightly.

I was speechless for a while.

If there really is an enemy, with the advanced technical equipment of the Barton County Maritime Administration, even if the communication is cut off, it is impossible to be able to detect even the slightest trace of the enemy like it is now.

Suddenly, the correspondent sitting in front of the central control computer felt a chill in his heart.

Unless, what attacks them is a ghost fleet that does not exist in this world.

But he secretly glanced sideways at the livid deputy director of the Maritime Administration behind him, and the correspondent still had a strong desire to survive and kept this guess in his heart.

The deputy director was silent for a moment, and suddenly said in a low tone, "Now mobilize the offshore patrol team to investigate. Until the results are found, this matter...do not report it for the time being,"

"yes."

The correspondent said quickly.

The deputy director had his hands behind his back, and his emerald-like eyes of pure Sirius blood were calmly staring at the empty radar scanner.

However at this moment,

What he was thinking about was not the results of the investigation, but how to appease the families of the victims of the offshore patrol, so as to suppress this matter that was likely to affect his future.

He is a man who wants to enter Kyoto.

I cannot tolerate any flaws in my resume.

...

Go to the center of Kyoto.

Tianren Administrative District, Adjudication Department Building.

A burst of extremely fast footsteps came in the corridor.

A sturdy woman in black held a phone in her hand and said in a hurry as she walked:

"Has the news been confirmed? The masked clown appeared in White Swan Port? Send me the specific location. Hurry up. The Empress needs this information and don't let me repeat it a second time."

"But...but Mr. Pusuo..."

The man's voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little troubled and annoyed. He only regretted that he had somehow fallen into the vortex of such a big shot's 'infighting', and said hesitantly:

"If I tell you, can you keep it a secret for me and ensure my safety?"

The woman in black stopped walking quickly in the corridor and said with a cold expression:

"I can only guarantee you that if you don't tell me, I will guarantee that you will not be safe."

The other end of the phone suddenly choked.

After a moment, the man bowed his head as if resigned to his fate, and sent over the specific location of the masked clown appearing in White Swan Harbor in the request for help message sent by the Tagos Kingdom Condor Bureau.

He is not afraid of this woman in black.

But he is afraid of the woman in black who is called the "Empress" behind the woman in black.

While the situation is still unclear,

No smart person would choose to take sides so quickly. Now that he was caught in the middle, he could only hope that the woman in black under the empress could show some moral integrity and keep the secret for him...

After receiving the specific location, the woman in black in the corridor immediately stopped hesitating and walked quickly to the door of a secret private office on the third floor.

She straightened her appearance,

He coughed dryly and raised his hand to knock on the door.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she raised her hand, the door suddenly opened from the inside, and a tall woman in black wearing a black veil appeared at the door, ready to go out.

"My Lady Empress,

I have important news to report."

However, before the woman in black could continue speaking, the empress Dorothy Alita who pushed out the door glanced at her indifferently and said in a cold voice:

"Is it information about the 'Joker'?"

The woman in black was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect that the other party had other intelligence networks that had received the news. It seemed that she was right to report decisively.

She quickly lowered her head and said respectfully:

"Yes, there are signs of suspected illegal gatherings of the Revolutionary Army in the White Swan in Barton County, and there are also several groups of pirates from the sea. The second ruling means that your Excellency should have received the news in advance and rushed there."

"It seems he still doesn't want to give up."

Empress Dorothy Alita said in a low tone, her voice suddenly turned slightly cold, "But my people are not that easy to kill."

The woman in black secretly raised her eyes to look at the face of Empress Dorothy Alita, and said cautiously, "In terms of time... I'm afraid I won't have enough time."

Although the Second Judgment uses the demon sword very rarely, it is the strongest combat power in the Judgment Department after the old man. This is the consensus of almost everyone in the Judgment Department.

Although the "Joker", the rumored new right-hand man under the Queen's command, seems to be quite powerful, he will definitely not be able to last long in front of that man.

Not even a face-to-face meeting.

Hearing the words of the woman in black, Dorothy Alita's beautiful face under the veil could not help but frown slightly, and the figure of the young man under the clown mask suddenly appeared in his mind.

She admired the other person's strength and potential very much, but compared with that man, it was no longer a gap in strength, but a gap in another realm.

"He can do it."

The empress took a breath and said calmly.

As soon as she finished speaking, she walked towards the corridor and pressed the up button when she reached the Adjudication Division's helicopter.

The woman in black followed behind without missing a step, occasionally glancing at the other side secretly at the side face of Empress Dorothy Alita who was walking in front.
