But when Captain Beromo came to the alley.

In addition to the corpses of the two team members, there was no figure of the masked man in the windbreaker. There were only traces of blood and fishy smell in the empty alley.

"Damn it!" the strong man with a flat head yelled angrily.

He tightened his grip on the tiger knife, but did not pursue it again.

As the captain of Purification Squad, he did not let anger get to his head. The overall situation and rationality told him that if he pursued rashly, he would only give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of him.

Beromo was not fooled, and turned back to the battlefield with a cold face.

With him as the backbone, the team quickly relied on their personal strength and sophisticated equipment and props to kill all the incoming Wolf-Faced Hunters.

However, because of this, more than half of the team members have consumed the stimulants they were equipped with.

"Clean up the battlefield and make records."

Beromo looked around and ordered the team members with a livid face.

On the ground, two team members were shot in the chest, and their necks and faces were stabbed "Wolf-Faced Hunters" several times. They were too dead to die.

The movie viewing has just begun, and the team has lost four members!

This made Beromo quite annoyed, and he said in a deep voice:

"Find a place to stay first and discuss the next step."

"Yes, Captain."

The other six team members answered in unison.

Immediately, their division of labor was clear. Someone carefully examined the bodies of the thugs and Wolf-Faced Hunters, and wrote something with pen and paper.

Then, we left together towards the other end of the street.

Until I found a hotel and checked in.

The hotel owner is a middle-aged bald man, his wife serves as the cook, and his daughter does the chores... However, due to the outbreak of the plague, the hotel is closed and guests are not allowed to stay.

But Purification Squad didn't care so much. Captain Beromo gave the order and the team members directly killed the family of three with finger-tiger knives and forcibly occupied the hotel.

What they didn't notice was that at the corner of the street, the head of a white owl suddenly retracted from the wall.

Gilan secretly followed Purification Squad, determined their destination, and then turned around and left.

Because of Gnosis's touch, he guessed that the current movie story was probably being monitored by "Purification Department" people in reality.

Every move of both parties can be clearly seen by people outside!

Therefore, he did not dare to go to Corruption's body rashly to avoid exposing "Iridescence".

Gilan secretly thought it was a pity and quickened his pace.

He searched for the location of the church along the way. After a while, he found a small church in the center of the town based on the impression in his dream.

The whole structure is made of stone and wood, with a triangular sloping roof. It is not big, but it has a sense of solemnity. At the door, you can also see a simple cross made of wooden board nails, swearing that this is the Dawn Era church of "Omer".

Push the door open and enter.

Gilan saw the four Record Society waiting here.

Seeing him come in, Mr. Stork and others who were sitting on the wooden bench suddenly stood up.

"Mr. Snowy Owl! Are you okay?!"

Miss Sparrow came over quickly and asked with concern.

Gilan shook his head.

When he saw that several people had not taken off their masks, he immediately realized that Mr. Stork must have also guessed that someone was watching outside the movie, so it was necessary to use masks to cover up their appearance to avoid revealing their true identity in reality.

"I found these from two Purification Squad members."

Gilan reached out and took out two Ivory Pistol from his windbreaker pocket and handed them to Mr. Stork.

This kind of pistol looks like it is specially made by the official government. It fires 7.62mm round-nose bullets and has a magazine capacity of 12 rounds.

The advantages are light weight and fast fire rate, making it suitable for bringing into movies and used for fire suppression. But the disadvantages are also obvious, including unsatisfactory accuracy, lethality and effective range.

Compared with these, Gilan still prefers the short-barreled revolver on his body.

"You can use these two guns," he said.

When everyone heard this, they didn't know that Mr. Snowy Owl killed two Purification team members and got the trophies from them.

Mr. Stork took the light and exquisite Ivory Pistol, and seemed to know something about this weapon, so he smiled and handed it to the two ladies.

Miss Sparrow and Miss Seagull were startled and looked down at their weapons.

"Thank you, Mr. Snowy Owl."

They played with the exquisite firearms and thanked Gilan.

Next, everyone sat back on the bench and discussed the next step.

Because the sudden arrival of Purification Squad disrupted their original plans, they had to make adjustments.

"I have just explained to them the reason why Purification Squad will appear in the film at the same time as us... I would like to explain it to you again by the way."

Mr. Stork turned towards Gilan.

"True Film Reel, for the same movie, there is not only one 'master tape', but also a 'sub-tape'... But this situation is rare, and most of them only appear in large-scale movies, especially series of movies, such as <Rongdeng Great Plague#2>, which I watched this time."

"If two people hold two 'sub-tapes' of the same movie and watch the movie at a close time, they may appear in the movie at the same time."

"Even though these two people are thousands of miles apart in reality."

Mr. Stork explained the principle in a deep voice.

Gilan then realized why Purification Squad was also in the movie.

He nodded, thoughtfully.

Mr. Stork said again:

"In view of the high degree of danger in this film, and now there is Purification Squad, I plan to let the two ladies Sparrow and Seagull wake up first. This will ensure their safety, and at the same time, having them outside monitoring the movie screen can wake us up in a better and more timely manner."

Gilan glanced at the others, and Mr. Oystercatcher nodded towards him.

Although the two ladies Sparrow and Seagull were reluctant to abandon their teammates, they also understood the seriousness of the matter and both nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Stork, what are you going to do?"

Gilan asked.

Mr. Stork shook his cane and sighed.

"We can only ask the two ladies to endure the pain for a while, otherwise Old Jerry will not be able to judge the timing of awakening."

"It's okay, please do it."

Miss Sparrow said fearlessly.

Miss Seagull also nodded, she is not a little woman who is afraid of pain.

Whoosh--pop!!

Miss Seagull screamed.

Mr. Stork's silver cane hit her calf with just the right amount of force. It only injured the muscles but did not break the bones.

In this way, the negative impact on the real body will be much smaller.

"You... are cruel!"

Miss Seagull said with tears in the corners of his eyes, trembling.

Mr. Stork took off his hat apologetically.

Just as Miss Sparrow was preparing to receive a blow from the stick, he heard:

"After Miss Seagull wakes up, be sure to wake up Miss Sparrow as soon as possible."

"Ah?" Miss Seagull was startled. "Am I the only one who will be beaten?"

The next second.

Her figure began to flicker, with noise and vertical spots appearing.

He immediately disappeared into the original chair.

Soon, Miss Sparrow heard the call of Miss Seagull, and she followed closely behind, disappeared from the chair, and left the movie.

"Now, there are only three of us gentlemen left."

Mr. Stork turned to look at Gilan.

"Mr. Snowy Owl, do you have any suggestions for action?"

"According to your statement, Purification Squad, as an official elite, has zero tolerance for the existence of secret societies, so they will definitely seriously hinder our actions."

Gilan looked at the two men and said calmly.

"Mr. Stork, you and Mr. Oystercatcher should follow the original plan and go to other local guards to report, or go directly to the city lord to see if you can get new information or tasks..."

"Take these to save your lives."

He sat on a chair, took out the two iron boxes containing "stimulants" and "hemostatic agents" and handed them to the two of them.

Under the owl mask, there is a solemn expression.

"As for me, I am responsible for harassing and intercepting Purification Squad. If you don't create some trouble for them, it will be difficult for you to carry out operations..."

"?!"

The two men present, Stork and Oystercatcher, Sparrow and Miss Seagull outside the movie, and even the observers of "Triumph Building" far away in the capital...

None of them thought that this Mr. Snowy Owl would dare to take the initiative to deal with Purification Squad!

The official observer quickly lowered his head, crossed out the original word "danger" on the notepad with a pen, and changed it to:

"Snowy Owl, risk assessment: severe danger!"

"This person has strong hostility towards Purification Squad and is extremely murderous!"
