Chapter 1523 camouflage
"These are lists of prohibited items in the warehouse. Do you have anything you want to see?" The administrator took Leo and the others to a room, signaled them to sit down at the table, and then took out a document and put it in front of them.
Leo didn't care about the list, and didn't even look at it, so he handed it over to Sylvia. Then he looked at the two managers in front of him and asked directly: "Do there be many people like you?"
The two managers didn't understand what Leo meant when he asked this, and they both stood there in a daze.
Seeing this, Leo added: "What I want to say is that in the school city, are there many people like you who can limit extraordinary power?"
Hearing Leo's question, Sylvia temporarily moved her eyes away from the list and looked at the two managers.
One of the two managers quickly came back to his senses and asked in surprise: "How do you know we can limit extraordinary power?"
"Are you a supernatural?" Another manager seemed to realize something, his face changed slightly, and he asked in a confirmatory manner.
"That's right!" Leo admitted.
After hearing Leo's confession, the manager immediately walked to Sylvia, apologized to her, and then took the list of contraband from her, and then said to Leo and the others seriously, "Don't you know that the extraordinary people are not allowed to contact contraband? Please leave now, and I will report this to the management."
"Wait, these two new mentors who have just joined the school city are not very clear about the rules of the school city," the captain of the city guard who followed Leo and the others hurried forward to defend himself: "In addition, the rules you mentioned are only affiliated with contraband management rules, and the execution level is lower than the city management rules. Now these two new mentors have obtained permission from Director Raul of the Second Urban District Anbao Bureau, which can be done."
"Director Raul is only the Director of the Second Urban Security Bureau, not our direct superior." The administrator interrupted the captain of the city guard and said, "And the Security Bureau has no rights, either."
Just as the manager was about to refute the city guard captain, a loud noise suddenly came in from outside, and then everyone felt the ground tremble slightly, as if there was a slight address.
Neither the city guard nor the manager of the contraband warehouse understood what was going on, and he stood there in a daze, while Leo and Sylvia realized something from the direction of the sound transmission and the location of the source of the vibration.
Then, they ignored the others who were still in a daze, turned around and walked out of the room quickly.
At this time, the staff in the building were also disturbed by the loud noise and the subsequent vibration. They ran out in panic and looked in the same direction in shock. Although the guards in the building were also very curious about what was happening outside, they still performed their duties conscientiously, checked the entrance and exit, and checked the identity of the incoming and exiting.
Leo and Sylvia were released without any obstruction. The moment they walked out of the door, they also looked in the direction of everyone's sight.
In the distance, a wave of dust soared into the sky rose from the ground and spread around. There should have been a four-story building at the bottom of the dust, but it has disappeared at this moment. In the memory of Leo and Sylvia, this four-story building should be the location of the lab of the tutor Filidinand.
At this time, the city guard captain and the two managers also ran out and looked at the place where something was wrong.
The two managers didn't know what was going on. Although they were curious about what happened there, they were responsible for their duties and could not leave at will. So after just a glance, they put away their curiosity and turned back to the building.
On the other hand, the captain of the city guard was stunned for a long time when he saw the movement there. Suddenly, he thought that the accident site was the director of the Security Bureau, Robert, led people to the search laboratory. His face suddenly turned pale. Without talking to Leo and the others, he took a step, pushed the crowd away, ran towards the accident site, and at the same time took out an item that looked like a whistle from his waist and ran while blowing hard.
As sharp whistle sounds came out, similar whistle sounds sounded in other places, and people kept relaying, causing the whistle to spread to the entire second city in a short period of time.
At the entrance and exit gate at the edge of the city, the city guards who were holding the gate immediately stopped people from entering other urban areas and also stopped people from leaving in the second urban areas. Then they directly closed the gate and completely blocked the second urban area.
In the urban area, those who heard the whistle's faces became a little serious, and they all lost the desire to talk. They quickly walked towards their respective offices or dormitories. Soon the streets in the urban area became empty, leaving only a large number of city guards patrolling back and forth on the streets with vigilance.
Leo and Sylvia did not go to the place where the accident occurred to check the situation, but after hearing the whistle, they returned to the apartment like everyone else.
Although the incident happened several streets away from their apartment, they could vaguely see what happened there because the sky was full of dust flying in the air.
After Leo and Sylvia returned to the apartment, Penny couldn't help but ask them curiously what was going on outside.
"A building collapsed." Sylvia responded briefly when she handed Penny the coat.
Boer, who was standing beside him, shook his head and said, "It is definitely not as simple as the collapse of the building. Now the city whistle is blowing outside. Only when there are major dangers like cult attacks will the city guard captain blew the city whistle. According to urban regulations, as long as the urban whistle sounds, the entire urban area must be completely blocked. After that, the management will send the Central City Guard to check the safety of the city. Only after the urban area is completely safe will the urban area be reopened."
"Does this happen often?" Joan asked curiously.
"How could it happen often?" Boer shook his head quickly and said, "The last time it happened was when my uncle was a student in the school town, which happened decades ago."
Hearing Boer's words, Leo and Sylvia were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and seemed to have thought of something. Then Sylvia asked Boer: "I ask you, what situation should the Captain of the City Guard be allowed to blow the City Guard whistle and completely block the whole city? If you just see a house collapsed in the distance, and the Director of the Security Bureau may be in the collapsed house, can the Captain of the City Guard whistle be blown? "
Boer didn't understand why Sylvia asked this, but he thought about it seriously, shook his head, and said, "No, only if more than five city guard captains have confirmed that they have encountered or may have attacked by extreme cultists or heresy, can they be recalled. Otherwise, they will not be allowed to take out the city guard post."
"Take out the City Guards' whistle?" Leo asked in a deep voice: "Don't the City Guards' whistle be worn with you?"
Boer thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "I remember it doesn't seem to be worn with you. The city guard whistle should be stored in the sealed cabinet in the middle of the security bureau hall. It will only be taken out when needed."
After listening to Boer's narration, Leo and Sylvia looked at each other, and then laughed at the same time, while the others around him looked confused and didn't know what the two were laughing.
Then the two of them returned to the room with a smile. Then Sylvia walked to the wine cabinet, poured a glass of wine for herself and Leo, walked over with a glass of wine, handed it to Leo, while restraining the smile on her face, and said, "We have been going well recently, so smooth that we are a little arrogant. If this hadn't happened before."
Leo nodded and said, "I am indeed a little arrogant. Why can't people deceive themselves? They can see through everything, but they end up being slapped in the face by an ordinary person."
At this moment, Leo and Sylvia had already understood that the city guard captain arranged by the Director of the Security Bureau to accompany him should be in the same group as the person who kidnapped Lucius, and Lucius should no longer be the second city. The city guard captain used the city guard post to block the whole city and focus the attention of the school city management in the second city area. There was no way to send people to chase the kidnappers and kidnapped persons who had fled outside the city in time.
As for the city guard whistle in his hand, he either made it by him or stole it from the security bureau hall.
I have to say that the city guard captain was really well disguised. The heartbeat, breathing, sight and other details that were easily exposed to the whole process of contact with Leo were easily exposed. If Boer hadn't explained that it would take a certain process to blow the city guard whistle, they might not have any doubts about this person yet.
"Do we need to intervene?" After Sylvia's self-deprecating smile completely restrained, she said with some anger: "It's really unhappy to make an ordinary person play like this."
Leo thought for a while and said, "You can act, but you need to wait until Xuecheng sends someone to invite you to act."
Sylvia asked again: "When do you think the school town will send someone?"
"It should be soon," Leo judged.
As Leo judged, Xuecheng did quickly send people to the apartment where the two lived, less than half an hour after the collapse of the building.
The people who came to the apartment this time were several people wearing black robes and uniforms. It can be seen that the marks on the uniforms of these people were that they should also be one of the city and ward systems.
When seeing these people, Boer approached Leo and whispered: "They are black-robed men from the Central City Guard, who specializes in dealing with events involving extraordinary powers."
Hearing Boer's reminder, Leo nodded, signaled Boer to retreat aside, and then asked the people: "Is there anything I can help you?"
The man in the black robe did not show any arrogant attitude, but instead lowered his attitude and asked the two: "The main reason is that the incident that happened in the second city not long ago wanted to ask Mr. Leo and Ms. Sylvia."
"Go to our study and talk!" Leo and Sylvia did not refuse, nodded, turned around and walked upstairs.
Seeing this, the man in black robe hurriedly followed.
After the group arrived at the study room of the apartment, they sat down. Then the man in black robe asked about Leo's complete story, and Leo did not hide or modify too much, and carefully described what happened after he arrived in the second city.
The whole thing was not very complicated. The man in black robe had already made it clear after just listening to it once. Then he asked: "Why did you judge that Filidinand is one of the kidnappers?"
"You misunderstood. I just said that among the mentors who refused to cooperate with the search, it is more likely that Filidinand is a kidnapper, which does not mean that other mentors are not doubtful." Leo shook his head and explained: "So the advice I gave at that time was to ask him to send someone to search all the tutor's labs at the same time. Is there any problem with the tutor's labs?"
The men in black robes looked at each other and did not answer Leo's inquiry. The man in black robes, who was in the head, did not change the question, but changed his statement and continued to ask: "Why do you think that Filidinand is a kidnapper?"
Leo explained seriously: "Because I have seen Felidinan's research project, which seems to overlap with the research project of Lucius scholars, such as the life research of the first dean of the school town, etc., I feel that Felidinan may have planned to look for clues to break through Lucius, who has similar research projects because the research progress has not made any progress, so he kidnapped Lucius."
After hearing this, the man in black was silent for a moment and asked again: "Did you notice anything abnormal about him when you were in contact with Kito?"
"Who is Kito?" Leo asked back.
The man in black robe replied, "It is the city guard captain arranged by Director Raul for His Excellency and Ms. Sylvia."
"No problem was found at that time." Leo shook his head and said.
"At that time?" The man in black robe was stunned.
"Yes, it was at that time. Because we had just arrived at Xuecheng and didn't understand some of the regulations and guidelines of Xuecheng, when the man was blowing the city whistle, we thought this was a normal operation," Leo replied truthfully: "But after returning to the apartment, we realized from Boer that the city guard captain's behavior was completely unreasonable. He blew the city whistle and the entire blockade process needed a process, which was not something that a city captain could decide, so I think he should have problems now."
Hearing Leo's words, the men in black robe looked at each other again and nodded slightly. It seemed that they had accepted Leo's words.
At this time, Leo also asked, "Is there something wrong with Director Raul?"
The man in black robe hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why do you think so?"
Leo said in a deep voice: "You come in and ask Felidinan. Director Raul personally took someone to search for his laboratory not long ago. The collapsed building should be the building where Felidinan's laboratory is, so"
