Chapter 127 - The Scarecrow Strange Creature That Became The Topic Of Conversation
"What else? What other clues do you have?"
"It"s not too late to talk about the clues later. Branch head, I suddenly feel very weak. Can you send someone to pick me up?"
Edward had narrowly escaped death from the death bus. Now that he had spent a lot of energy recalling and narrating, his body had long been exhausted.
Do not forget, before Flanders arrived, Edward himself had already stayed in the death bus.
He had not ingested anything for a long time. Instead, it was constantly depleting and losing energy.
To be able to hold on until now, one had to say that it was already a miracle.
Hearing Edward"s somewhat weak voice, Jerry said calmly, "don"t worry, he"s already on his way. He should be arriving by now."
As a qualified branch head, how could Jerry not have thought of Edward"s current condition?
He had already considered this point. After knowing the other party"s ident.i.ty, he immediately informed his secretary to arrange for rescue.
In such an awkward position as the head of the Investigation Department, there was a reason why he could still be trusted by the members of the department.
Jerry"s own abilities were impeccable. He would give a certain amount of respect to each and every one of his subordinates.
Moreover, he had considered many things very carefully.
When Edward heard Jerry"s words, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Not long after, he heard a few familiar voices. He looked in the direction of the voices and was a little excited.
"Branch head, I"ve already seen them."
"Okay, then you should rest well. Hmm... Tomorrow, I"ll come and look for you tomorrow to understand the situation."
Considering his subordinate"s physical condition, Jerry was a little conflicted. In the end, he gave the other party a day"s rest.
After all, the matter here was also very urgent.
Although he already knew the murderer of the Black Hawk Squad.
But the news that Edward brought also told Jerry that the scarecrow was now back in Durham.
The sense of crisis came at once, and he would report this matter later.
He also informed the other colleagues in Durham to take precautions.
In times of emergency, even if Jerry wanted Edward to rest for a while, he could not do it.
Edward could understand this point, but he did not have much to say.
Edward waved at his colleagues who were about to walk over. He had just stepped out with his left foot, wanting to reunite with the other side, but his body collapsed to the ground like mud.
Plop!
When the colleagues who had rushed over to rescue saw this situation, they hurriedly ran over.
The phone slipped out of his hand and let out a crisp sound.
When he heard the commotion over here, Jerry anxiously called out over the phone, "Edward, Edward, are you alright? Quickly reply!"
At this moment, an investigator who had already come to Edward"s side picked up the phone and reported to Jerry.
"Chief, Edward has fainted."
"Send him to the medical department immediately. Inform me when he wakes up."
After thinking for a moment, Jerry added,
"Let him rest well first."
Since he was already like this, he could not be so harsh. He could think of other ways to get information. The most important thing was that he was fine.
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Jerry pinched his nose with his fingers. He said with a tired face,
"Recently, things have really been going on one after another..."
The strange creatures that had appeared recently were really getting more and more powerful.
First, there was a scarecrow, then there was a death bus. After a while, they would have to prepare for battles with strange creatures in other Domains and other worlds.
A mage was really a high-risk job!
Unknowingly, Jerry had the thought of retiring.
"Branch head, is there another place to take a look?"
The secretary walked over and asked Jerry.
Hearing the secretary"s words, Jerry shook his head.
Since they already knew who killed the Black Hawk Squad, there was no need to investigate the scene.
Jerry had enough of this terrible scene. He had not eaten when he woke up.
He was a little hungry at first, but now he did not feel anything at all.
when he thought of meat, he would even recall the horrifying scene before number 7"s death.
Then, his stomach turned upside down and convulsed. He had no desire to eat at all.
It could be predicted that in the next long period of time, meat would be removed from Jerry"s diet.
"There"s no need for that. When the time comes, you can make a summary and report it to me. I"ll take a look."
After saying that, Jerry left the scene first.
Hearing what Jerry said, the secretary also called out to the investigators at the three scenes and began to speak.
"Everyone can call it a day. Dispose of the body and then send me the contents of the investigation records."
"Understood."
In fact, it was not just Jerry who had had enough of these scenes. His subordinates had also had enough.
Therefore, in order to make these scenes disappear from their vision as much as possible, these people put in 1,000% of their energy and did the job very efficiently.
"Oh my G.o.d, it"s finally over."
After sending off the secretary, the remaining investigators at the scene all heaved a sigh of relief.
"I really don"t want to stay in this d.a.m.ned place for even a second longer."
They grumbled in dissatisfaction, but this dissatisfaction was not directed at Jerry and the others, but at the Black Hawk Squad at the scene.
Even if they died, they would still cause trouble for others.
When they were alive, they made them look down in front of their colleagues, and after they died, they still had to suffer this kind of punishment.
Everyone present was extremely disgusted with the members of the Black Hawk squad.
Looking at the corpses at the scene, one of the investigators could not help but sigh.
"What kind of monster is this!"
"I heard that it"s the scarecrow that wreaked havoc in other cities."
The topic had unknowingly changed from criticizing the Black Hawk Squad to discussing the scarecrow that had killed them.
"Scarecrow, I"ve heard of this strange thing too. It"s said that not long after it was born, it killed all the elites of the Sarkos City Branch."
This kind of discussion effectively eased the disgust and fear they felt when dealing with the scene.
As they were surrounded by their companions, although they were discussing very exaggerated and terrifying things, in reality, there was not much fear in their hearts.
"If it"s so terrifying, why hasn"t the higher-ups done anything yet?"
"They originally sent Lord Garros and his team, but you know what happened a while ago..."
"It"s so terrifying. Did the scarecrow grow so fast? Then isn"t it invincible now?"
"No, that wasn"t done by the Scarecrow. Lord Garros and his team were on their way to the crusade when they encountered a strange creature attack from other Domains, which allowed the scarecrow to escape. It"s still out there now."
"Then this scarecrow"s luck is really good. However, Lord Garros is still recovering from his injuries. Who will the higher-ups send to stop it?"
