Chapter 158 The Duke of Hellfire
Chapter 158 The Duke of Hellfire
In an instant, Esta and Xing's phones began to emit a series of alert sounds.
Xing took out his phone to check it in confusion.
The smell of the bastards: Here it comes, here it comes!
Flying a spacecraft without a license: What's coming?
The big one is coming!
Tireless in destroying people:?
Bill Gewa: Oh my god!
Bill Gewa: (video, click to view)
Xing was a little confused, but still clicked on it.
"Ms. Black Tower's single push news - insert an urgent news! Insert an urgent news!"
"The attack on Ms. Black Tower has finally come to a conclusion! The Annihilation Gang claims responsibility for the entire incident and will take further action. The Association strongly condemns this."
---
"The gods among the stars are detached from the world and have no intention of caring about the insignificant living beings."
"Only the benefactor who bears the wound can bathe all worlds in the flames of destruction."
"There are always cowards who try to reject grace and escape the pain."
"Run away, run away! No matter where you run to, Hunmie will eventually visit you!"
---
The video ended, Xing put his phone down, and then saw Estelle, who looked shocked.
"What is this...?" Estelle covered her mouth and looked at the contents on her phone.
"A declaration of war, a letter of warning, you are being targeted. The aftermath of the Legion has not yet subsided, and the Annihilation Gang is following closely. It seems that your space station is more compatible with the fate of destruction than intelligence." Latio chuckled.
"This 'Underworld Fire Duke' Afrit was born from the extinct planet 'Tophet'. The Fire Demons, who are always burning, regard Nanook as their emperor and call him their benefactor, but they have never been even glanced at by the Star God." Screw Gum explained.
"What a bunch of pathetic lunatics. I quite like Dr. Primal's comment: the value that Nanook saw in the so-called Annihilation Gang may be far less than that of a baby who deliberately broke a vase."
"Fire demons are violent by nature. Burning and destruction are their instincts. Afrit is particularly evil and cruel. The 'Eternal Fire Mansion' led by him is even a mortal enemy of the 'Yepela Brotherhood' which is also a gang of annihilation~" said Latio.
"Yepela Brotherhood...? I seem to have seen this name somewhere..." Estelle frowned slightly, resting her chin on her hand, and fell into deep thought.
"On the wanted poster of the Star Core Hunters." ScrewGum explained, "They were accused of being involved in the Yepera rebellion, which led to the demise of the Brotherhood." ScrewGum said, answering Ester's doubts.
"The Yepera Palace collapsed in flames, and then Avrit's power grew day by day. Do you believe this is just a coincidence?"
"The same thing is about to happen in the space station. As a fire demon, he is of course good at the trick of spontaneous human combustion. The disappearance of the clerk and the puppet are also part of the plan. After that... the video will spread quickly in the space station. Just wait and see, it won't be long before the space station becomes a sea of fire." Latio said.
"The destruction of 'trust.'" said ScrewGum heavily.
"I'm afraid it's not just trust that needs to be destroyed." Latio stared at Xing, then said, "If you don't want to sit and wait for death, take action. You, follow me." Latio pointed at Xing.
"Me? Only me?" Xing asked confusedly.
"What else? Let them run around and have the accident of the space station written all over their faces?" Latio said.
"It would be a low-class thing to do... I will stay here and try my best to control the spread of news. I'll leave the investigation to you guys during this period." Estelle said to the two of them, then bowed slightly.
...
As the two of them set off, Xing also suggested going to find Alan.
"It's a pity that this happened... The situation is urgent. If you need anything, the Defense Department will do its best to help you." Alan said to Xing and Latio.
"A list of missing officers and their detailed information." Latio said, then looked around.
"It's possible, but the Defense Department has investigated their identities, backgrounds and relationships in detail and found nothing in common. The Annihilation Gang is a group of desperate criminals, and they may be indiscriminate attacks..."
After listening to Alan's words, Latio added: "Another list of missing officers and their detailed information."
"Okay, okay..." Alan did it immediately after hearing it.
Soon, Alan came back with the information and the list.
Latio reached out to take it, then handed it to Xing.
"Take it, remember these names, then find a well-informed friend and tell him you want to know how these people are connected."
"Yeah..." Xing nodded, then opened her phone and messaged Pamela.
"Is there anything else I can do?" Alan asked.
"Take me to see the person who knows the most about strange things in the world."
"He, he disappeared too..." Alan lowered his head.
"What happened?" Xing put down his phone and looked at Alan in confusion.
"At first I didn't take it seriously, after all, Adler was often out of sight, but it's been several hours and I haven't been able to contact him, even when I checked the surveillance cameras, I couldn't find any trace of him..."
"The last time I saw him was in the main control cabin, with Wen Shiling from the response department."
"Lead the way. You said this Adler seemed to have some clues, but you didn't have time to say it. If his disappearance is also related to the attack, I'm afraid he really realized something."
Xing was also thinking, indeed... I remember that the key word that inspired Adler at that time was "energy life", and the Duke of Hellfire was also an elemental life, was it just a coincidence? It is necessary to investigate further...
Then Xing followed the two of them and turned on his phone.
Xing: I need your help.
Danheng: What’s the matter?
Xing: Do you know "Duke of Hellfire" Afrit?
Dan Heng: The annihilation gang?
Dan Heng: It’s best not to get involved.
Xing: The space station is in trouble, and it's related to him.
Xing: Lin Yu is not with me...I don’t know what Sister Ji Zi is doing, she said she is busy.
Xing: Now, I can only contact you..
Xing: Alan will tell you the details.
Xing: I want to know more about him.
Danheng: I understand. Wait for my news.
Dan Heng: Please be careful. If the situation changes, notify me immediately.
Xing: Okay.
Then, Xing turned off his phone and found himself next to Latio without realizing it.
"boom!"
"Ah..." Xing covered his head and staggered back a few steps.
"Watch out as you walk, we're here." Latio turned back and said to Xing, then turned away again.
"You little bastard! You little bastard! You're playing missing! I told you to play missing, don't let me see you again!" Wen Shiling stomped her feet and shouted angrily.
"Who made you angry again?" Xing rubbed his head, then walked over and squatted down to ask her.
Wen Shiling looked up and found that it was Xinghou, sobbing and said, "It's you, I'm telling you, Adler, Adler is missing, wuwuwu ah ah ah..."
"He, he's been acting weird lately, always researching spontaneous human combustion and supernatural phenomena... I called him, but he ignored me and kept mumbling to himself."
"What did he say?" Latio interrupted.
"Well, it seems like a 'fragrance' or something!" Wen Shiling said, trying to recall.
"Scent..." Latio lowered his head in thought, trying to interpret the meaning behind the word.
"We will bring him back." Xing comforted Wen Shiling.
"Who wants him to come back!" Wen Shiling suddenly raised her voice.
But then, she lowered her head again, picked up a booklet from the small shelf behind her, and slowly said, "But if you want to find him... the last time I saw him, he had been flipping through this booklet. Although I don't know what he was looking for, I hope it will be useful to you..."
After Wen Shiling finished speaking, she handed the booklet in her hand to Latio.
