Section 12 Tracking
Twelve chapter tracking
Captain Chris dressed up alone in the room, or put on makeup. With the rich experience of the troupe, she soon made herself look very much like a person who was awakened by the sound and was panicked.
After she finished the preparation work, she didn't wait too long. Her door was pushed open rudely after knocking on it a few randomly. Outside were more than a dozen clergymen and armed guards holding torches, all holding weapons, and half of them were wearing armor.
"Who! Breaking into the lady's room so late." Chris performed the frightened woman vividly, of course, some of them were not acting.
"I'm sorry, ma'am." The person leading the company is quite polite, because they also know that the guests are all here, and God knows that they are relatives and friends of a senior figure. "We are searching for a thief who has infiltrated. He was seriously injured and shouldn't run far, but we're worried that he might have sneaked into a room here."
Although they were quite polite, they did not care about the single woman's problem in their actions. Before Chris could reply, several people rushed up and checked around. They were very familiar with the structure of the room used to stay for guests. Several spaces that could hide were checked. Then one person came to Chris' bed and knelt down to look under the bed.
Chris was secretly worried in her heart. Her armor was piled up in a pile and then she used her backpack as a cover. I hope these guys would not check it carefully in boredom - the armor took up very little space and could not hide one person.
"There's something." The man said to his companion simply, "Give me a spear."
"Then is my luggage!" Chris tried desperately to stop the tragedy.
"Don't worry, ma'am, you won't break your luggage." The man was unmoved at all, turned his spear over and took out the luggage with the handle. After completing this, he looked under the bed again.
"It's over!" Chris's eyes turned dark and he fell backwards. Fortunately, a man supported her.
"Nothing." The inspector stuffed his luggage under the bed again. Seeing this scene, the leading man said a few apologetically and kind words to Chris, and led his subordinates out of Chris' room and walked towards the next room.
At this moment, it was Chris' turn to be a little confused about her eyes. What happened? The armor that was taken off Ash Rufate...
After confirming that everyone had left, she immediately closed the door and pulled out the duffel bag under the bed. Now she could continue the faint light of the candlelight to see clearly what was under the bed.
The bed was empty and there was nothing. The armor that Ash Rufate took off was gone.
...
They felt an abnormality when they stood outside the room.
Because of the great noise, all the residents of all the rooms they searched along the way were awakened. Some people opened the door and came out to check what was going on, while others hugged in the room and did not dare to go out, but all the rooms were lighted on.
However, the room was still dark and there was no light in the window.
"Who is living in this room?" The leading guard captain made a gesture to his subordinates, and his subordinates immediately dispersed and surrounded the house. Of course, the biggest possibility is that the guests did not spend the night here, but in this case, any caution is not redundant.
Today, a group of bold invaders (no doubt, this group of people is another group of thieves attracted by the legendary treasure) sneaked into the underground of the Great Temple, and what's worse, they actually successfully escaped. Only the high-level figures here know what this means - in the deepest part of the underground of the Temple, there is an angel who received the orders of the gods in the Star Realm.
The thief failed, but the angels could not kill any of the thieves. Only the blood along the way proved the end of the battle. These bold bandits actually dared to defile this sacred land! When they think of this, the true believers can be filled with the wrath of justice.
However, these thieves are extremely skilled and are the best proof that they can escape from the angels. Thinking of this, the guard captain cautiously turned the spear back and stabbed the door open with the handle of the spear.
The light of the torch made people see the truth in the room - a man and a woman on the bed were turning their heads and looking out. The man was leaning up, and the woman was riding on the man's body. A thin quilt covered most of their bodies, but from the ups and downs of the woman's body, the fool could tell what they were doing.
No wonder they were unaware of the sounds outside. The guards who had just held their weapons relaxed, and those more conservatives all staggered their eyes awkwardly. Of course, some of them were also ignorantly resting their eyes on the girl's breasts exposed outside.
The next moment, the woman let out a scream, quickly lay down, hiding her entire body in the quilt. The man looked shocked and angry, but couldn't speak for a moment.
"Sorry, we are searching for a thief who was infiltrated. He was seriously injured and shouldn't run far, but we are worried that he might have sneaked into a room here." The guard captain sighed in his heart. He hoped that the two guests would not leave a special impression on him, otherwise they would hate him and retaliate if they had the chance.
Accompanied by awkward silence, several guards walked in and searched for a long time, including under the bed. The whole process was short, and then they stepped out.
"I'm sorry." As they left, the captain of the guard closed the door with his own hands and apologized again to the pair of guests who had been disturbed.
I didn't encounter anything worth mentioning in the next search work. But until they finished searching, they found nothing suspicious.
The thief escaped? The captain of the guard recalled the search process... No, he should have done a good job. But it is hard to say that after all, these thieves have proven to be extremely powerful. Even if they are injured, they may find a chance to sneak out of the encirclement, which will waste their time searching in this area.
The subordinates around him made way, and then he realized that a man had come to him. The man was wearing a light brother-in-law robe and holding a silver stick in his hand. He had a strange temperament, which made people feel that this person was different at first glance, but he could not tell what it was different.
"Article, Archbishop." When the man stopped, everyone present saluted him. The person who came was Archbishop Carl, the de facto ruler of Oren City. Although his appearance looked very young, everyone knew that Archbishop Carl was far from his appearance. Carl was blessed by the gods of the Star Realm and his appearance would not change until he died of old age.
"Have you found something?" Carl's expression was not much annoyed.
"I'm sorry, but I'm down... I thought... they would hide in the guest's dormitory..." The captain stammered.
"You haven't found anything?" This time Carl's voice was obviously displeased.
"...I have searched all the houses one by one... but no wounded who meets the conditions... Judging from the blood on the ground, the thief was seriously injured..."
"But it is possible that the injury is serious, but the wound is not big." Carl replied coldly. "Then you were hiding it."
This is impossible - after so much blood is shed, no matter who it is or what method to cover it up, you will definitely feel weak, pale face, unable to move freely, etc. As long as you are not blind, anyone can see it. However, it is obviously inappropriate to refute the Archbishop's words at this time, so the captain could only lower his head to express his respect.
By the way... the person who didn't move... the captain's head suddenly flashed and realized that he seemed to have missed something.
Humph! Looking at the trash who wanted to say something but didn't dare, Carl couldn't help but start angry. In fact, he didn't care about the threat of the thief at all - what can the thief steal from the Grand Temple? On the contrary, the treasure house is not here at all. As for the sacred objects, there is no need to worry about it. They arranged a guard who was unattainable in this world! What really made Carl angry was that he was disturbed while he was in a carnival! And the group of trash under his command could not even do such a thing, which made him hurriedly drive out halfway, full of fire.
Carl took out a crystal ball with a slight white light from his arms and walked along the way from the entrance, while everyone else followed behind. As Carl walked to the side of a room, the crystal ball suddenly became bright.
"Here!" Carl pointed to the ground.
With the help of the light of the torch and the crystal ball, you can clearly see a pool of traces on the ground. It was dry blood. There is no doubt that this was left by the injured thief. However, the amount of blood here is not large, so it can be inferred that either the thief urgently bandaged the wound to stop the bleeding, or his blood was about to dry out. Of course, the possibility of the former is far greater than the latter.
Carl continued to follow the guidance of the crystal ball and soon found another small pool of blood. In this way, traces that were originally hidden in the dark and extremely difficult to judge were accurately found by the crystal ball. They came to the front of a room without much effort.
The door was wide open and there was no one inside. The guard captain remembered that this room was the residence of the single female guest before - they had carefully searched that room, and it was impossible for a third party to hide. The female guest was quick and easy to move, and it was absolutely impossible for him to be a wounded person.
"There are guests here?" Carl's eyes stopped at the messy cup on the bed.
"It's a female guest, it seems that she has left..." a lowly priest in charge of chores explained, "maybe it was because of frightened." He added the last sentence.
Carl snorted coldly, ignoring the other party's explanation. His crystal ball emitted a very bright light, much brighter than the blood stains just now. Then, he seemed to realize some sign, turned his head and walked out of the door and walked towards the neighboring house.
The door of this room is also open, and there is no one inside. Only the sharp bedding shows that this is not an empty room. Carl's crystal ball emits the brightest light so far. Because the embarrassing things that happened here before are impressive, many people remember this room.
"It's here!" Carl stretched out his hand and waved it. Under the light of the crystal ball, a virtual image appeared in the room. A man and a woman were lying naked on the bed, and then the woman lifted the quilt and got up to wear clothes. Now everyone could see clearly that the man was wearing a white bandage on his waist.
Almost no one noticed that Archbishop Carl's eyes were fixed on the woman, with a greedy look in his eyes.
