Two knocks on the door interrupted her wandering thoughts.
Talis immediately came out of her daze, stood up and walked to the door.
"There are people here today... Oh, the leisure time I have waited so hard for is coming to an end..."
Sighing very reluctantly and helplessly, she opened the door:
"Welcome to the 'Kapok Detective Agency', how can we help you?"
The location of the Enforcer Squad headquarters is kept secret from the public and is often disguised.
In Sunset Harbor, the headquarters was disguised as a detective agency.
However, although it is just a disguise, if a customer comes to place a commission, the executors are happy to earn some extra money as long as it does not affect their main job.
Obviously, the visitor outside the door was a kind-hearted person who wanted to provide subsidies to the executors.
But unfortunately, the executors have been burdened with too much work recently, and most of them are just trying to make extra money without taking any leave.
Talis planned to invite the person in, say a few simple polite words, and then politely reject the other party's request.
"Squeak-"
A slight sound of bearing friction was heard, and a face with ordinary features, slightly old and wrinkled came into view.
This is an old man in his fifties, half of his hair is white, and he is wearing an old-fashioned dark formal suit.
"Good afternoon, ma'am."
The visitor looked at Talis's face, and the corners of his mouth curled up to both sides, revealing a smile that was so standard that it didn't look like a real person.
Talis felt an inexplicable palpitation at this normal yet creepy smile, but she didn't say much.
After briefly sorting out her thoughts, she smiled professionally and said:
"Sir, please sit down and talk."
Although she intended to refuse, she still had to go through the basic procedures.
Otherwise, it would be easy for customers to notice something unusual and realize that there is something wrong with this detective agency.
"Of course, I'd love to."
The old man in the suit maintained his mask-like smile and nodded slightly.
What puzzled Talis was that his tone was very gentle, calm, and leisurely, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
This was different from other "customers" she had received - most of the people who came to the detective for help had urgent matters that were difficult to talk about with the security team, and very few of them had such a calm attitude.
But she didn't think too much about it, because there were three powerful executors stationed in the headquarters, enough to guard against some short-sighted criminals.
Moreover, the headquarters is equipped with an extremely sophisticated defense system consisting of a large number of spiritual rituals and spiritual items.
Those who are not at the level of a magician or a psychic warrior are not even qualified to compete with him.
And, even if the worst happens, they still have a trump card:
Once the defense system reserved in the headquarters suffers irresistible damage, the hidden communication system will automatically send an emergency alert to a unit of the Super Management Bureau.
And this tip will eventually be passed on to Victor the Punisher!
The first person under the godhood, the "Metallurgist" who is one of the strongest people in Sunset Harbor!
With the distance of the Super Management Bureau and the speed of the "Metallurgist" in the "Earth" field, it only takes a few seconds for that terrifying strong man to arrive!
These thoughts flashed through Talis's mind, but her body did not pause and nodded politely.
He turned around and prepared to lead the old man in the suit to the reception room.
"Please follow me, here... ugh!"
Talis had just turned her back to the door and hadn't finished her polite words when her body suddenly froze.
She lowered her neck slowly and looked down in disbelief.
She saw a skinny, old hand with thick joints "growing" on her chest.
Blood instantly dyed the vision red.
"Ugh... Ugh!... Ahem..."
"Whoosh!"
"thump--"
As the old man in the suit pulled his right hand out from the woman's back, the dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground echoed in the empty front hall.
He shook off the blood, heart fragments, and spinal fragments that covered his arms, but the mask-like standard smile on his face remained unchanged.
"Drip! drip! drip! drip! drip! drip! drip! ..."
At the same time that Talis fell, the lights in the entire headquarters suddenly turned into a bright red like blood.
Roaring alarm bells rang from all directions.
"All right."
The well-dressed old man looked around the front hall where people were rushing out one after another, and his originally calm eyes...
A gleam of eager greed lit up.
"It's time to put all the plans to an end."
"brush--"
An orange-red glow suddenly appeared under his feet, and these lights outlined an extremely complex, mysterious, and huge rune magic array on the ground.
"boom!"
The next second, a dazzling orange-red flame rose from it, transforming into a fireball that continued to expand and rise, instantly engulfing the old man.
"Little tricks..."
"Oh!"
An evil crimson glow suddenly burst out from the orange-red fireball and easily overwhelmed the latter's brilliance.
Like a surging tide, it immediately extinguished the orange-red fireball, and at the same time, the rune magic formation on the ground collapsed.
The old man, wearing a formal suit and with half white hair, walked slowly out of the crimson glow of the masterpiece unscathed.
The smile on her face remains unchanged.
He was like an ordinary old man taking a walk by the river. He stepped over the motionless Talis and walked step by step into the depths of the building that served as the headquarters of the Executioner Team.
“Swish! Swish! Swish!…”
A large number of complex rune magic arrays of different colors and strengths suddenly appeared from all positions and directions, and without exception, the old man was locked as the target.
The overwhelming attacks, obstructions, obstacles, interferences, and confusion spells swarmed over like ants discovering sugar water.
The dazzling spiritual light illuminates this space without a single inch of darkness.
Chapter 221 Snatching
"...Intruders...hurry..."
"...Activate...alert!..."
"...Mage!...It's the Mage..."
"Unknown territory..."
"...Sir Victor...why are you still..."
"..."
The noisy screams, fighting sounds, and explosions gradually blurred into an indistinguishable buzzing in my ears.
Countless blocks of color without boundaries and blending into each other fill the field of vision, plunging the entire world into a misty chaos, making it difficult to see clearly.
Talis fell to the ground with her cheek pressed against the not-so-clean ground.
In addition to the hard and cold touch, she could also feel a large mass of something wet, sticky, warm and sticky spreading beneath her.
Her perception of her body also became weaker, as if her soul was being pulled out of her body bit by bit.
The icy chill emanated from deep within the bone marrow, penetrating the soul and consciousness.
Her thinking became increasingly dull and sluggish, like her finger joints exposed to snow on a cold winter night.
"…retreat underground…"
"...Calling upon spiritual items...No application is required..."
"..."
She knew that the battle was still going on, and those respectable and brave executors were using every means within the headquarters to resist the advance of the invaders.
But those noises seemed like the sound of rain on the roof, or the noise of carriages passing on the overpass, far away.
It had a hypnotic effect, making her feel a little tired, increasingly sleepy, and more sleepy.
Soon, night fell, and the gauze-like blackness spread from the edge of the field of vision and invaded the center...
"…If you had fallen earlier, I would have had to donate blood again."
Suddenly, just before her consciousness was about to completely dissipate into nothingness, a clear, pleasant, ethereal, childish voice, as if floating from the infinite and lofty starry sky, rushed into her ears without warning.
Incredibly, her mind is now extremely confused and she has almost lost the ability to understand language.
But that childish voice that sounded like the sound of nature entered my mind clearly without any ambiguity or blur.
The next second, Talis, who was so cold that she seemed to be frozen into an ice sculpture, suddenly felt a warm current sprouting from her broken and bleeding heart.
In an instant, it spread throughout the body.
The perception of the body quickly returned, and the rigid and sluggish thinking also became clear.
In just a few breaths, her pupils regained focus, making her misty vision suddenly clear.
“Cough, cough!…Wuwu…cough…”
After coughing violently a few times, Talis spat out the blood clots in her throat, mouth and nose.
"I...ah, I'm not..."
She was a little confused for a moment. After regaining her senses, her first reaction was to sit up from the ground and look down at her body.
Her top was almost completely soaked by the blood that was gradually turning black and clotted, and there was an irregular hole on her chest.
Through the hole, you can see the fair and tender skin without any damage.
"This……"
She was stunned for a moment, then realized something and looked up quickly.
An extremely cute and beautiful black-haired little girl, wearing a simple and old long cloak, was standing more than one meter in front of him.
With his hands behind his waist, his dark brown eyes were filled with an elusive mystery as he stared at himself quietly.
"You, you are..."
Talis was immediately overwhelmed by the beauty and charm that surpassed human imagination. She stammered and was unable to speak. She even forgot how dangerous the situation she was in was.
"So this is what he really planned... Tsk, it's really boring."
The girl pouted her lips playfully and spoke casually in her angelic voice, sounding as if she was talking to herself.
"Excuse me, are you..."
Talis finally recovered from the huge shock and daze. Just as she controlled her uncontrollable tongue and wanted to ask something, her eyes suddenly blurred.
"……What?!"
By the time she reacted, the girl had disappeared, as if she had evaporated into thin air.
Only Talis was left kneeling on the ground in a daze, with an expression as if she had just woken up, as if everything that had just happened was an unreal illusion.
On the other side, the old man in a suit had used his spell level, which had reached the peak of the magician realm, to completely shatter all the defensive spiritual rituals on the ground part of the headquarters.
He stood in the center of the first floor with a smile on his face. Suddenly, he raised his hand and turned his wrist so that his palm was facing downwards.
Then, press hard in the air.
"boom!"
