Chapter 123: Past events and murderers

　　 Someone in the conference room issued a low exclamation. This is not a turbulent sea battlefield. It is possible for hundreds of people to die in a small-scale naval battle.
　　 "Newin Harbor" is not only the number one port city in the kingdom, but also a military port where the kingdom's most elite naval fleet is stationed! It has always been a prosperous and open face, and it is a window to the outside world for Falettis.
　　 The number of victims as high as forty-five people in one night is enough to cause a major earthquake in "Newin Harbor".
　　 Ignoring the whispers of the audience after hearing this number, Miss Laura continued:
　　"The victims did not have any common characteristics, including workers, businessmen, the elderly, children, girls, students, and nobles, covering almost all groups of people.
　　 and the assailant was very rampant, leaving the body in place directly after the attack. According to our agent's report, every victim's body is, um...how to describe it, very abstract! "
　　 heard her spit out the adjective "abstract" with a weird expression, somehow all the big people in the room felt a chill behind their backs.
　　 "Madam, do you have any clues or speculations now? Who caused such a murder?"
　　 A representative of the Noble Alliance seemed to think of something, and stood up and asked with a serious face.
　　 At the same time, the faces of the participants in the conference room over 30 years old are a little unnatural.
"I'm very sorry sir, we don't have any witnesses or clues, and we don't know who the criminals are. The criminals are like ghosts, appearing out of thin air after committing the crime and then disappearing out of thin air. If it weren't for cluelessness, the city hall would not ask for help. Everyone!"
　　 As soon as the voice fell, someone had already put forward his own proposition. It was the gentleman of the Noble Union:
　　 "I think we should lock down the city and find out this bold murderer!"
　　 "Yes, there is no crime that leaves no trace at all. We mobilize all our forces to search every corner of the city, and we will definitely be able to find the murderer and avenge the victims!"
　　 "......"
　　 Headed by the representatives of the Noble Alliance, although they were accusing the offenders, they deliberately or unintentionally defined the incident as an ordinary serial homicide in advance. At most, the number of victims was a little unusually large.
　　 Some lower-level attendees were inspired by their words and followed in their support.
　　 However, this irresponsible argument caused a person's dissatisfaction.
　　咚! Boom! Boom!
　　 The sound of fingers tapping the conference table interrupted them.
　　 Representative of the arakkoa troops, an old man with a straight back and sharp eyes, although his hair was slightly gray, stood up.
　　 He propped his hands on the table and looked at everyone present with eagle-like eyes. An indescribable aura rose from him and enveloped the entire conference room.
　　 Silent...
　　 "Heh----! Although I don't want to admit it very much, as the arakkoa chief guarding the dark side of this city, I must remind everyone who is forgetful.
　　 The tragedy that happened eight years ago will not be avoided again because we are like ostriches by digging our heads into the sand and pretending to be invisible!
　　Especially some gentlemen among us should review their own words and deeds. Will they mislead everyone and create more trouble for real solving the problem? ! "
　　 Hearing the words of the old man, key words and vivid pictures popped up in the minds of the big people present. The things that I tried to forget once resurfaced from the bottom of my heart quickly, and more clearly than ever before!
　　 "The past eight years ago? Serial murders? Murder incident?"
　　 "The Wells family?"
　　 "Cthulhu offering sacrifices?!"
　　 "The fallen of opera!"
The representative of the Alliance of Nobles took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat coming out of his forehead, and reluctantly said: "Your Excellency Diesel, you are joking. The Welsh family, which is connected to the evil god, has been around eight years ago. The smoke is gone, how could those damn'murderers' run out again at this time?!"
　　 Diesel is also the chief arakkoa in Port Newin, and he doesn't even bother to look at him. As a barrier between mortals and the transcendent world, how could he not know what role these guys from the Noble Alliance played in that incident? At this time, the incident repeated itself, how could he show these guys a good face?
　　 was about to continue speaking out his inference, suddenly a voice rang in the conference room.
　　 "It's a dead soul box!
　　 is the box that the Wells family held for a while and disappeared after offering sacrifices to the evil eight years ago! "
　　The person who spoke was a representative of the Royal Naval Academy. He stood up and bowed slightly to everyone present.
　　 "Princeton Principal was in our city before and caught the box's fluctuations due to the burst of power, but unfortunately he was a step late. Although he kept tracking afterwards, he couldn't find it again.
　　 Until the "Dead Soul Box" really released those murderers again, we were sure that it did not leave, but was hiding in a corner of Newin Harbor. "
When 　　 was speaking ~EbookFREE.me~, his eyes were also on the side of the noble association. Although the box ran away in advance, the bodies of sea hunters and noble private soldiers were hard to hide.
　　 It’s not hard to guess what happened here...
　　 It is obvious that the Noble Alliance, or some of its members, knew the whereabouts of the Dead Soul Box much earlier than everyone present.
　　 But with some kind of private thought, I didn't report it, but wanted to steal it for myself. It doesn't matter if they succeed with ambitions, at least it shows that they have the ability to match their ambitions.
　　 But with the emergence of "murderers", it has been shown that they have failed completely. This makes people a little irritated, angry at their wanton behavior, and even more angry at the mess that must be cleaned up because of their incompetence!
　　 It's just that it's not the time to pursue accountability for the time being, and we will wait for the crisis to be resolved before doing liquidation.
　　 For a while, there was silence in the huge conference room.
　　 The famous "Dead Soul Box" almost no one in the room does not know. A few people who have experienced it eight years ago know this well.
　　Because the short period of eight years is far from enough to erase the damage caused by that trick to the city, as well as the deep marks left in people's hearts.
　　"Do you have any evidence that the'Dead Soul Box' has appeared again?
　　 You must know that if the ‘Dead Soul Box’ reappears, it means that this event involves an evil god, and it is enough to rate it as a ‘disaster event’. We must report to the kingdom! "
　　 He took office only after the incident eight years ago, and Murdoch, the Archon of Newin Harbor who didn't know the whole incident of the year, stood up and asked.
　　 In this matter, as the manager of the city, he must be the first responsible person, and he has to consider it carefully.
