Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

Chapter 141: Not a single clue found!?

Before the sounds from inside could fade, and without even consulting the oracle, Kurt unlocked the door.

I saw a naked, somewhat bloated man sitting on the bed, with a hint of majesty in his eyes.

A man in a black jacket with a scar on his face was bowing respectfully to the other man, while the red-haired Kada was tied up like a dumpling and thrown on the floor, his eyes filled with anger and defiance.

The three men noticed Kurt entering the room almost simultaneously. The naked man reacted the fastest, immediately jumping out of bed with a revolver in his hand and firing a shot at Kurt.

However, the bullet was compressed into a pancake shape by its own front half, flew a short distance weakly, and then fell down.

The two men opposite each other tried to call for help, but the air around their necks lost its ability to vibrate. The naked man who tried to jump out of the window to escape was also hit in the back of the head by a silent bullet and lay down by the window.

The man in the black jacket was strangled to death by thin air just as he was about to pull out his gun.

The entire battle lasted no more than five seconds. It seems that the naked man was an extraordinary being—judging from his demeanor, he should be an arbitrator, or even a sheriff.

As for the ropes binding Kada, they seemed to have softened and loosened on their own.

Kada staggered to his feet, ignoring the corpses on the ground, and said directly in Indis, "Are you a Night Watchman or a Punisher? Anyway, go and save these poor children; they're locked in the basement down below. And Sasha, she's been forcibly brought out to work as a prostitute—"

Kurt stared blankly at the red-haired girl who was nearly 1.7 meters tall. "Such strong composure," he thought. "I like this style of doing things; no need for further communication." But then he thought, "There's still the corpse of an Extraordinary here..."

Kut restrained the somewhat agitated Kada, glanced at the sheets where the extraordinary individual had slept, and then, using a bit more spiritual power, tossed out several playing cards to cover Kada's exposed private parts before urging him to calm down and speaking in Intis, "Calm down, madam. Sasha is settled now. There are still some guards downstairs. Just tell me where those trafficked children are?"

Kada calmed down after hearing this, tossed her long red hair, and somewhat wearily described the basement to Kurt. Her logic was clear, and Kurt didn't ask any further questions. He simply tossed her a paper key and said, "Go open all the rooms. There will be some commotion downstairs later, but don't worry."

Then Kurt handed over a bottle of potion, saying it would help Kada recover his strength, and then left.

He reactivated his Psychology Stealth and went down to the first floor. After silently knocking out the few guards scattered around the entrance, he deactivated his Psychology Stealth in front of everyone in the bar. After attracting everyone's attention, he shot and killed the two guards standing at the entrance to the secret passage right in front of everyone.

After the gunshots rang out, the remaining people immediately realized what was happening and most of them scrambled out of the bar.

The bar wasn't very big to begin with, and after Kurt's outburst, almost everyone ran away, leaving only a few drunkards passed out on the floor. Kurt ignored them and went straight to the dungeon where the girls were being held, following the clues given by Kada. After unlocking the door, he immediately stated his purpose.

He fed some medicine to the children who could no longer walk, and they left the dungeon. Because of the intimidation brought by Kurt's direct snapping of the iron gate, the girls, who were mostly 13 or 4 years old, dared not question him and obediently walked out.

However, two more bodies were found in the cell. Kurt silently mourned for them, then walked out of the dungeon. After finding some things to cover the dozen or so children, he saw Kada coming downstairs, and Sasha holding her hand.

Kada threw out a wrapped object, which Kurt recognized through his spiritual vision as the extraordinary property extracted from the deceased on the second floor.

This girl is something else — but it's none of my business. Kurt caught the wrapped-up extraordinary item, nodded, and said in a modified voice: "Wait here for a while, the police will come to take you to a safe place soon."

Then, Curt glanced meaningfully at the gun lying on the ground, tossed out a playing card, and disappeared through the doorway, disappearing into the night.

Kada frowned as he watched the card slowly disappear into the air, thinking, "He's interfering with the divination; he's not an official Beyonder—"

Thinking about it, she picked up the gun and began to organize and settle the girls.

The police arrived shortly afterward; they had received a report from the customers who had been frightened away from the bar.

Even though the police system here is corrupt, they still have to cover it up, so Kurt chose to call the police. With such a big case, the police wouldn't dare to do anything outrageous.

Kurt didn't sit still; he took down three more strongholds in the same manner. Only one of these strongholds had extraordinary individuals, and another was just a transit point. Fortunately, the slaves at this transit point hadn't been transferred yet, and Kurt wiped them all out in one fell swoop.

The Eastern District Police Department experienced its busiest day ever, with all four human trafficking dens being exposed and nearly 100 trafficked people being rescued.

It wasn't until almost four o'clock that Kurt sacrificed his gloves to the foot of Black Peak, and without removing the all-nighter bracelet, he went straight to sleep.

This time he didn't dream about Deng Li again, just some ordinary nightmares, but Kurt remained awake, so he didn't rest well, but it was still much better than his usual 4 a.m. to bed and 7 a.m. to wake up.

"You mean there was an extraordinary individual involved in the Kapin case? And then last night, four human trafficking hideouts known only to the police and the killer were raided, three of which were still within our jurisdiction?"

Inside the Holy Wind Cathedral, Snake, the Singer of God, looked angrily at the data his subordinates had brought him:

-

"And yet, they still haven't found a single clue about the killer!"

The executioner, clearly somewhat frightened, said, "It's like this, Bishop—there's actually another stronghold under the jurisdiction of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery."

Snake calmed down and said, "That's indeed a solution. Go and coordinate with them regarding all the recent events. Make sure to find the culprit—"

'

Watching his men's departing figures, Snake cursed under his breath: "Those useless royals, their own people doing these illegal things, and they still have the nerve to ask us to find the murderer after they've been killed."

While it is indeed dangerous to allow someone capable of hunting down a multitude of low- to mid-sequence Extraordinaries without leaving a trace, this score will eventually have to be settled with the royal family.
