Chapter 7 Being Targeted
"Also you can call back up now. After all, someone has to clean up the scene," Arthur said, suddenly smiling at Anna Sunshine, "Please give me a kiss now."
Anna was shocked when she heard this, "What kiss?"
"Don't you know? In the final battle, the heroine will kiss the hero so that the hero can be invincible. This is how Hollywood movies are played." Arthur said half-jokingly.
Anna was speechless, and her face turned slightly red, "We are not making movies now, hurry up and go in you."
"Isn't you really not kissing?" Arthur shook his head helplessly, "Okay, but if I don't succeed, it's your fault." After that, he turned around and walked towards the castle.
Anna looked at the satellite images and the images from the drone nervously. The castle was quiet. This was not a normal phenomenon. She felt a little nervous and suddenly regretted not kissing Arthur.
She had applied for support a few minutes ago, and now she had nothing to do, and she had to wait.
She wanted to ask what was going on, and was afraid to disturb Arthur's actions. She waited in this terrible car for a while. Just when Anna thought she would be so quiet forever, suddenly, Arthur's voice sounded from the communicator, "Anna, I think you can come in, there is no danger here anymore."
Arthur's voice was very calm, but Anna heard a little excitement from it.
"What?" Anna was surprised, "So quickly?" And she didn't hear any gunshots at all, but with her trust in her teammates, Anna got out of the car and ran towards the castle with her handbag. When she walked in, she saw corpses everywhere, not a single living person, and these corpses pretended to be miserable, not like they died in a gun battle. Anna became more and more frightened as she walked. What was going on here?
Of course she would not naively think that these were what Arthur did. Obviously, there was an extremely fierce battle here before. A few minutes later, she finally arrived at the core of the castle. She saw the corpse of a huge monster. Even though she had died, her amazing body still made her walk around carefully.
Walking to the deepest part of the castle, she finally saw Arthur, who was standing in front of a vague pool of flesh and blood, checking what.
Anna was still a little curious at first, what was that pool of things. When Anna walked close enough and finally saw the truth of the thing clearly, she couldn't help but feel nauseous and vomited suddenly.
"Are you okay?" Arthur asked.
"I'm fine, what's going on here? You can't do this?"
"Of course not, I don't have that much destructive power," Arthur said self-deprecatingly. "It seems that someone has already taken us one step ahead, but I found something very interesting."
Anna finally calmed down. After all, she was a well-trained agent. Although she didn't have much practical experience, she still had the psychological qualities she deserved.
"What did you find?" She walked over while wiping her mouth.
Arthur pointed to the body with a very obvious square mark, "Looking here, it's obvious that this man was holding something in his hand. He was squeezed to death by a huge force, but the thing in his hand must be so strong that it left such a mark on his skin. Looking at the mark on the skin, can you tell what the pattern is?"
Anna lowered her head and squatted down. When she saw the pattern clearly, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared on her face. It was indeed a dent in a ball-shaped shape. Judging from the shape, it looked like an eye.
"That seems to be an eye."
"That's right, it's just one eye." Arthur glanced at her with a bright look and said with excitement.
Seeing that Anna was still confused, she had to explain, "If I guess correctly, this person is holding the legendary book of another world."
Anna was shocked when she heard this, "Book of Another World? I thought it was just a legend."
Of course she understood the meaning of these two. As a purifier, she accepted a concept from the day she joined the company that her mission was to protect the world from countless evil and terrible people, and the most evil of them was the summoner, but she didn't expect that she would face this terrible enemy so early.
After she joined the Purifier, she did hear some content related to Summoner and Book of Another World, but these contents are not as detailed and accurate as the information of other cult organizations or superpower organizations within the Purifier. Instead, they are more like some speculation and conjecture. She originally thought that those were just legends or exaggerated propaganda, used to cheat funds from the participating countries of each Purifier.
"It's not a legend. Summoners are real. However, every summoner is very mysterious. Whenever we feel that we have found some clues, these people either disappear or die. But they do exist. We can always find some clues, but we can always not catch their true background, just like an invisible hand covering them, but this time it's different."
Arthur pointed to the seal excitedly, "The one who killed all these people was a summoner. He must have come to snatch the Book of Another World. Of course, it is also possible that the dead were a summoner, and the person who killed him was to snatch the Book of Another World, but it is actually the same, because once this person obtains the Book of Another World, it becomes a summoner. This person is obviously very powerful. He should use magical abilities. Did he see the footprints on the ground? The person who came should be two people. They did not sneak in secret, but rushed in from the main gate. These people tried their best to resist, but were slaughtered one-sidedly without any suspense."
Anna suddenly had a cold sweat. When she thought of passing by two summoners just now, she felt scared. If she had come a few minutes earlier, there might be two more corpses here.
"We have caught a big fish now." Arthur said excitedly. At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside, but the support team finally arrived.
A black bald man was wearing a black leather windbreaker and rushed in quickly. Behind him was a whole team of commandos wearing black combat uniforms. He was about forty years old and looked majestic. He looked like he was a person who was used to giving orders and was in the upper hand.
"Arthur, I have said it many times. When facing an enemy with certain threats, be sure to call for support. You are a purifier, not Rambo, nor 007. You are the best agent under my command. I don't want to attend your funeral one day." The black man shouted as soon as he came in, looking extremely angry.
Arthur didn't care much about the black bald scolding. He had long been accustomed to the minister's yelling behavior.
