Chapter 125: Movements of the Parties
The original purpose of the Prohibition Act was to eradicate a series of social problems caused by alcoholic beverages, but people at the time took it for granted. Alcoholic beverages have long been a habit www.biquge.info in the lives of ordinary people, and they can be said to be necessities, and many restaurants and pubs still serve alcoholic beverages.
As a result, instead of stopping the common people from drinking, the Prohibition Law led to the rampant use of many mafia-controlled underground liquor shops.
These people also needed to make a fortune from the profits from their own brewing, and they might have been street gangsters or shrewd speculators. But as their assets grew, so did their ambitions, and the notorious mafia slowly formed.
The state not only lost the tax on alcohol, but also led to chaos in social order, and many police officers had an affair with the mafia, which really outweighed the losses.
For the officers in the police station, life has been good lately. In addition to the salary of the police officer's job, there are also bribes from people who secretly brew wine.
But today, they feel bad......
The top boss, Police Chief Harold, was jumping and roaring, and the splatters of saliva were spraying on the heads of the hapless people at the front.
"Can't find it? You told me you couldn't find it! ”
His face was flushed, and a pair of small eyes were about to fly out of their sockets.
"One night has passed! All night! I never knew there was so much waste in my police station! Are you worthy of your salary? Can't even catch a bum? ”
The director's tall and fat figure is particularly intimidating, looking like a fierce grizzly bear:
"Think of Henry and Langdon who are still lying unconscious in the hospital, don't you want to catch that bastard and avenge your colleagues!"
The former military chief brought with him the habits of the army, and his voice grew louder and louder, with the meaning of passing through the briefing room.
At this moment, a police officer opened the door, walked quickly to the chief and whispered:
"Sir, a police officer reported that he caught the wanted criminal who attacked the police last night"
"Really? That's great news."
The fat face was cloudy and clear, and it could be seen that the director's mood was getting better again.
"Also, Mr. Heywood is waiting for you in your office"
"Well, I'll go now"
He turned to the officers in training and said:
"Disband, the wanted man has been caught, you should be glad you have a colleague to rely on"
The police officers breathed a sigh of relief, and being scolded early in the morning was not a pleasant experience after all.
After the chief dismissed the officer, he hurried back to his office to receive Mr. Heywood.
Heywood's identity is not ordinary, Heywood was originally a small investor, and now he is one of the city's top 'bosses', not only rich, but also has hands and eyes. It has something to do with Congress, and his words are more valid here than any decree.
After all, in these days, having money means having power.
The director of his own police station didn't dare to snub this big guy.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Heywood"
"Hello, Mr. Director"
Heywood's appearance can be said to be a typical middle-aged gentleman's image, with a straight waist and two bodyguards with black sunglasses standing beside him.
"Last night, I asked you to do ......."
"Rest assured, we have caught him and are now on his way back to the police station"
"Then I'll be relieved"
It was Mr. Heywood's intention to arrest the homeless man, but he didn't expect that he would be able to stun two police officers with guns and escape.
"May I ask?"
"Please Say"
"What the hell is that homeless ......?"
Seeing Heywood's eyes, the director knew that he had lost his words, and he had forgotten such a simple principle of doing things, and he should not ask what he shouldn't ask.
He took a cigar out of his bosom, and someone next to him immediately handed him a match to help Heywood light it. He took a sip, filling his mouth with the rich fragrance, and then slowly exhaled:
"Mr. Director, I hope that what I say next will not reach the ears of a third person."
He winked at the bodyguard, who locked the door.
"Of course"
Secretly scolding yourself for talking too much, I really shouldn't ask.
"He used to be one of my men, a black man but he was capable. You know, I've always been focused on results and nothing else, so he quickly became my right-hand man."
Heywood's face loomed in the smoke, hiding the fear in his eyes.
"Until one day, I found out that he could use magic"
"Magic? Are you sure it's the word? ”
It's the 20th century!
"Yes, magic or witchcraft, I don't know what it is, I don't know how he could be like this, it could be from his hometown in Africa, but that's not the problem"
Recalling that terrible scene, Heywood's fingers trembled slightly:
"He's secretly doing evil things and has ties to a secret organization, and by chance we discovered his anomaly. After the matter was revealed, we found a large number of bones and human organs in his room, as well as a notebook"
The director couldn't help but swallow his saliva, magic or something was too unbelievable.
"I found someone who knows this to do it, and it turned out that he wanted to summon the demon into this world."
"Wouldn't it be too weird? Please forgive me for being rude, it only shows that he is a cultist with a not quite normal mind."
"No"
Heywood shook his head slowly:
"I've seen summoned monsters, yesterday's shootout was it making a fuss in our building, it's not a creature that should exist in this world, it's not afraid of guns, it can't be killed. Fortunately, it didn't last long, and according to the notes, it was because the channel didn't stabilize."
Took out a blurry photo from his bosom and threw it to the director:
"He's spent his life figuring out the right way to summon him, and he's the only one in the world who knows that if he comes into contact with that secret organization, our city could become a demon's paradise."
There was a monster with bat wings on its back and a sheep's head on it, and just looking at this photo, the director rushed to feel uncomfortable.
"I never expected to go to heaven when I died, but I also don't want to go to hell while I lived."
"Sir!"
The voice of the police officer who had previously reported the message sounded outside the door:
"The police officers who captured the criminals lost contact and the patrol car found their bodies in the alley!"
After making a gesture of please, the director opened the door and shouted:
"Send all the officers out! Tell them that it is permissible to shoot the suspect without warning! ”
Things are out of control, and he was allowed to run away!
"Mr. Director"
Heywood straightened his clothes, put on his hat and said:
"We will also do our best to help with this matter, I don't know what dangerous magic he is hiding, I want to introduce a few people to you"
The bodyguard guarding the door understood, went out and left, and soon led a few young people in.
"Let me introduce you, they are experts in this area and are good at dealing with any paranormal event. This is Mr. Kamikusa Leaving Plain, who runs a detective agency with three assistants."
Leaving the grass on the plain? What a strange name......
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Somewhere in the Endless Abyss.
A claw demon stared at the abyssal portal, planning in his mind.
Behind him, countless demons of different forms were ready to go, and at the first order, they poured into the world outside the portal to slaughter and plunder souls.
The two worlds have different proportions of time, having spent one night in a temporary dungeon, and less than a second before the Abyss.
"Your Excellency the Dark Invaders, the Maharaja asks when the offensive will begin"
A little devil messenger asked.
The Sheephorn Demon is also known as the Dark Invader, and as mentioned earlier, this is an honorary title.
"Soon, the collaborator on the other side has successfully opened the portal, and a stable passage will be established immediately."
Creatures of a special plane such as Demon Angels cannot directly enter the plane where mortals are located, and they need a stable passage to do so.
On the other hand, it is easy for mortals to enter the abyss, so these demons and demons use coercion and temptation to lure mortals to open portals.
The problem is that this time the target plane is a troubled world.
No one in that world understands magic.
So the demon had to communicate through the interdimensional plane, little by little how the demon believers on the other end of the church could open the portal.
But after all, interdimensional communication is very difficult, and the interference is very serious, it is already very difficult to send the information over, and the information received is not very complete, and few people can use such rudimentary knowledge to open the portal.
To put it simply, the distance is too far and the signal is not good......
The Sheephorn Demon has a special talent, he is particularly good at interdimensional communication, and unlike the peer-to-peer communication of ordinary demons, he can spread out the communication like a radio station, covering many planes.
This is also an important reason why he was awarded the honorary title of Dark Invader.
Someone in one of the planes has temporarily opened a portal and summoned a projection of their own. Let him briefly probe the information of the target world.
There is no magic, only humans are intelligent beings, and ...... Very weak.
This made the Sheephorn Demon ecstatic, having previously helped open a portal and plunder a large number of mortal souls to return, much to the delight of the Demon Lord and bestow it with great power.
If it succeeds this time, it will become the right and left hand of the Demon Lord step by step, and it can even replace it in the future!
Not surprisingly, demons have never had a concept of loyalty, loyalty is a demeaning term for them, it is a representation of stupidity, and they obey other demons because they can't beat each other.
Demons are such strange creatures, they are more united on the outside, especially if anyone dares to provoke demons, he will be the enemy of the abyss. But sometimes he likes infighting, and often fights for turf. What's more, after being summoned by a powerful mage, it is simply more useful than any dog's leg, and there is no shame in helping outsiders deal with their own clan. Therefore, these chaotic and evil guys are far from being as good as the orderly devils in the Nine Hells next door, especially in terms of influence in the mortal world, they are several levels worse.
Closer, closer.
The Sheephorn Demon could feel that the portal built in another plane was taking shape little by little, and he would soon be able to lead the army to kill it.
At this point, it is not clear what kind of opponent it will face, and what nightmares it will face......
