Chapter 657 "Bounty"
Louis Berry is here again? Camus's forehead jumped when he heard the description of "the man wearing a straw hat".
Ever since he met this adventurer, he felt that his life was speeding up. First, he "caught" the serial killer, then he got clues about an old case from four years ago, and then the suspect jumped out and tried to kill himself and Kolobo, causing chaos for the patrol team.
Now, Louis Berry is here again?
Camus was worried and the pressure was doubled.
"Where is Louis Berry?" Reyaza had already heard Camus talk about the relevant matters.
The patrol member who came to report quickly replied:
"Sit in the lobby."
Reyaza nodded, and walked out of the office with Camus and down the stairs.
Camus gradually came back to his senses amid the sound of footsteps.
He thought of Louis Berry's suspicion of Tewanaku yesterday, and how the other party had only asked a few questions, without even asking for the specific situation, and then gave up the corresponding speculation and changed the target of the investigation. He thought of how the adventurer had come to him early this morning, hoping to obtain certain information in a roundabout way, and that not long after Kolobo handed over Tewanaku's information to the other party, he was attacked and fell into a coma, and there were obvious signs of fierce fighting at the scene.
Was he using such a circuitous and cautious way of questioning in order to avoid the demon's foresight of danger? Was buying intelligence from Kolobo a trap for Tewanaco? No, Tewanaco didn't sense the corresponding danger? He could only sense it one or two minutes in advance, and by the time he discovered it, it was too late? As a former "sheriff" and now an "interrogator", Camus quickly made many associations and made many speculations.
He felt that after Louis Berry knew that Tewanaku loved to drink Filmore coffee without sugar, he should have locked on to his target. The reason why he told him that he suspected the people from the Police Headquarters and did not ask for details was because he was worried that Tewanaku would foresee the danger!
As for how Louis Berry set a trap for Tewanaku today without being noticed by the other party, Camus couldn't figure it out for the time being.
He also suspected that Louis Berry's operation had not been truly successful because there was no trace at the Matani Import and Export Store that Twanaco had been killed.
This is a Sequence 5 "Apostle of Desire", and he also has the power of a Sequence 5 "Ghost". If it is not done by the demigod himself, it will probably take two or three combat teams equipped with extraordinary people from the "Sun", "Warrior" and other paths to solve it, or dispatch a pirate general-level extraordinary person who has powerful magical items and has reached Sequence 5 himself.
Soon, Camus and Réaza saw Louis Berry sitting on the sofa in the reception area of the hall. His golden straw hat was extremely eye-catching in the sunlight.
"Mr. Louis Berry, what do you want?" Camus asked in a deep voice in Intis.
Lumian first looked at Camus deeply, then smiled and said to Reysa in the awkward Dutan language:
"I'm here to collect the reward."
As he spoke, he took out the head of Tewanaku from the "traveler's bag".
The blood-stained face, the head with broken horns, the empty eyes, the hideous wound beside the nose and dozens of deep cuts were all reflected in the eyes of Camus and Reaza at the same time.
Although the head was severely damaged, Camus, as a former "sheriff", recognized who it belonged to at a glance:
!
Did he succeed? Did he really set a trap for an "Apostle of Desire" and hunt him down? Camus looked up and once again examined Louis Berry, the young man who had the title of a great adventurer in the Misty Sea.
Such strength is enough to fight against any pirate general on the five seas!
Of course, this only refers to individual abilities and does not include the pirate general's subordinates.
Reyaza silently confirmed it from the spiritual level, turned his head to look at Camus, and asked in Dutan:
“Is it Tehuanaco?”
"Yes." Camus answered affirmatively and then sighed to himself.
The battle between Tewanaku and Louis Berry was really fierce, so his death was so tragic. Not only did he lose both eyes, but he also had so many wounds, showing semi-demonic characteristics.
Reyaza looked back at Lumian, thought for a moment, and said in Tutan:
"I don't know if you've seen the wanted poster for Tewanaku. The reward is only 7 Felgin."
Originally, they offered a reward based on the standard for a “serial killer”, but only because this “serial killer” killed extraordinary people did they raise the reward to 20,000.
Lumian barely understood and smiled as he switched to Intis language:
"If I wait two days to claim the reward, can I get more?"
After Camus listened to it, he thought about it carefully and found that it was true:
In two days, the person they are looking for is Tewanako, the "Apostle of Desire" and "Ghost" who caused the deaths of several members of the patrol team, instead of the "serial killer" from the past!
Of course, with the financial resources of the Matanibunda, it is impossible to raise the reward too high. At most, it can be doubled, and then the danger will be reported to the official organizations of the Northern Continent such as the "Mother Earth" Church and the "Eternal Sun" Church to see if they want to increase the reward.
After Camus translated Lumian's words into Dutan, Reyaza remained silent, not knowing how to respond.
For the patrol team, 70,000 or 80,000 Fergold is still a lot of money!
Without waiting for his response, Lumian added with a smile:
"But you don't need to increase my bounty. Just meet my two requests. They are very simple."
"What?" Reyaza asked in a deep voice after listening to Camus' translation.
Lumian smiled:
"First, I want to see all the files related to the town of Tizamo. Second, I'm curious about the card of Tewanaco and want to take a look. Of course, just take a look."
"You want to investigate the incident in Tizamo last year? Isn't your only purpose in going to Paros to find Tewanaku?" Camus asked in confusion.
Lumian said, “Hey!”
"Need I remind you? Tewanaku's hometown is the town of Tizamo."
This... Camus suddenly felt that the matter of Tehuanaco would not end with the other party's death, and there were still many secrets hidden behind it.
And this is what Louis Berry said at the beginning.
After translating the conversation between the two to Reaza, Camus felt that the patrol team's previous investigation into the Tizamo Town incident might have been too hasty.
Looking at Louis Berry who had successfully killed an "Apostle of Desire" with the ability of "Ghost", the cold-tempered Reyaza was silent for several seconds and said:
"Who commissioned you to investigate Tehuanaco?"
Lumian did not answer but asked:
"Is he a member of the group that calls itself the Temperance Faction, a follower of the Fool?"
"It's not a self-claimed claim, we have confirmed it." After listening to Camus' translation, Reyaza replied in a very firm tone.
As expected... Lumian, who was just confirming something, defended the Church of Fools:
"Any organization can have traitors, and there will be people with ulterior motives trying to infiltrate."
"This is indeed our problem." Camus sincerely summed up the lesson, "To judge whether a person is good or bad, and whether he can be recruited, we should not only look at which organization he comes from, but also observe his words and actions."
After some consideration, Reyaza agreed to Lumian's request.
While he arranged for other patrol team members to help Lumian go through the process and collect the bounty, he asked Camus to take Lumian to see the playing cards.
…………
In the cold and silent corridor underground, Camus looked at Lumian and asked cautiously:
"What exactly are you looking for?"
This has already resulted in the death of a Sequence 5 "Apostle of Desire"!
Lumian laughed:
"Knowing too much can be dangerous."
Camus remained silent; experience told him not to ask any more questions.
As Lumian walked forward, he asked casually:
“How many people died in the patrol team this time?”
"Four of them, all of them are controlled by Tewanaco." Camus laughed self-deprecatingly, "We will recruit another batch of new members before the end of the year. Haha, they are very lucky. If they are suitable, they don't have to worry about the potion in the next sequence. If they are not suitable, they can use the seal."
This is how the resources of an official organization are accumulated slowly.
Lumian nodded slightly:
"Where's Kolobo?"
Camus smiled more easily this time:
"He's fine. He's almost done with the treatment."
During the conversation, the two arrived at a room inlaid with many cold white bones, and the playing card that looked like it had a metallic texture was placed on the table in the middle.
"Be careful, it will get into your body and control you like a 'ghost'." Camus warned.
Lumian nodded slightly, walked over, and reached out to the playing card with the Ten of Spades on it.
A bone-like texture entered his mind, followed by an icy coldness.
Lumian's right hand was quickly covered with a layer of frost.
The frost quickly condensed into crystals and spread towards the arms.
At the same time, the face of the playing card changed, highlighting the gray-white "joker".
It quickly faded away and was about to merge into Lumian's body.
Silently, a blazing white flame ignited on Lumian's arm. He turned his palm and pressed his thumb accurately on the poker card that had not yet completely faded, on the face of "Little Jack".
The poker cards fell silent for a moment.
Chunks of frost fell off Lumian's arms, dropped to the ground, and melted into water.
The frost of the "zombies", the possession of the "ghosts"... they were indeed magical items from the "prisoner" path... Lumian quickly made a basic judgment.
However, the changing ability shown by playing cards did not match the "prisoner" approach he understood. Instead, it was more like a superficial application of the "faceless man".
Could it be that it was a little bit of pollution brought by the fusion of Tianzun? Also, when the "moderation faction" gave resources, it was impossible for them to give them directly to the "wraith", they should have given them in order from the lower sequence... Was this poker card strengthened again and again? "Siso" has a fixed "craftsman" to cooperate with? Lumian withdrew his eyes from the poker card and slowly retreated to Camus' side.
"Okay." He thought for a moment and said, "Be careful when you use this item."
Camus nodded:
"We will use it as a seal instead of a magical item."
After returning to the ground, Camus went to get all the files related to Tizamo Town.
Lumian made a brief distinction and picked up one of them.
