Bondy froze in his spot, thinking that he had heard Jason wrong.
“Kerosene, explosives, cannon!”
Even though Jason repeated his words. Then, he even provided specific information as a supplement.
“30 barrels of kerosene! 100 explosives! 2 to 3 cannons!”
“The more of these things, the better!”
There was no doubt this time Jason had made a perfectly normal request. But Bondy was still frozen in shock.
He was even feeling a little overwhelmed, not knowing exactly what he should do.
The other party was muttering to himself.
There was a very sincere feeling of delight in his voice.
It sounded like he was giving a blessing.
But the other party’s face, hidden in the dark shadows, was not smiling at all.
The cold, murderous intention was being contorted in some kind of secretive, unique way.
The plants in the surroundings were all affected by such a murderous intention. The brambles and shrubs were rapidly wilting and withering.
The other party lowered his head to look at these withering brambles and shrubs.
“Seedlings are, after all, seedlings.”
“Without being exposed to the different kinds of weather, come rain or wind.”
“How could they possibly grow into towering trees?”
As he spoke, he raised and waved his hand.
Suddenly, the brambles and shrubs, that were wilting and withering just a moment ago, were quickly rejuvenated with new vigor.
Then, like the thorn bushes earlier on, these brambles and shrubs also made way for this man to pass through.
Whistling a lighthearted tune, the man advanced slowly.
“The dead Kurtz. Pitiful, pitiful, so pitiful.”
“The dead Kalina. Pathetic, pathetic, so pathetic.”
“But nightfall, the night has fallen.”
“The black sheep are starting to dance.”
“Hurry up and dance.”
“Hurry up and dance.”
The man walked further and further away. His footsteps were getting lighter and lighter. The sounds of his whistling and singing were getting softer and softer.
Then, finally, he disappeared.
At midnight, Jason and company finally arrived at the doorstep of Moon Mask Club that was behind Kensing Street.
At Jason’s behest, not a single one, of all who were there, approached the club.
With a vision that was almost twice the power of an average person, Jason stood by the street and gave the Moon Mask, in the distance, a good sizing-up under the moonlight.
The door that he had pushed open earlier on was shut again.
And the corpse of the gatekeeper, that was supposed to be covered with a white cloth, had long disappeared without a trace.
“We didn’t close the door.”
“The corpse was also here before then. It disappeared together with our men.”
Hall said immediately. Then, he pointed at somewhere along the street, about 5 meters away from the gate of the club, and went on saying, “I have set up two sentry posts in this area, one here and one there. There are two people rostered for each shift, three shifts in total while I’m responsible for Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free!”
“There was nothing out of the norm all day.”
“But after I came back, the four men who were supposed to stay behind to stand guard, as well as the two corpses at the door, were all gone.”
“Without a trace at all.”
The senior detective clenched his fist tightly as he spoke.
Everyone present was well aware of what it meant to go missing in such a place.
A wave of grief surged into the minds of these young constables.
In particular, Finch, who was looking at the Moon Mask Club in the distance. His eyes were red beyond his control. He shared a close friendship with two of the missing men because they were his roommates when he was in 202.
Suddenly, there was a gust of wind.
The night breeze of autumn had long been chilly.
But the chill brought about by this gust of wind was bitingly cold.
Many people were instinctively shivering.
But what made them all tremble even more was–
In the distance, the main doors of the Moon Mask Club opened.
Two towering doors swung inward as they slowly opened.
Amidst the poignant noise, the lights inside the club became dazzling again. Music also sounded again.
In the hall, people were dancing and laughing as they conversed softly.
Two figures walked out of the crowd of dancing people.
At the sight of those two people, many people let out cries of surprise. They were incapable of movement as they looked on. The two people were smiling as they walked out of the club hand-in-hand. Then, they both bent over to bow as they extended a welcome to the people outside the door. Suddenly, everyone was at a loss.
Bondy asked in a low voice.
Jason did not open his mouth to say anything. He merely leaned sideways.
