The southern shore of the Conquest Sea, Kankdar.
"Control the murderer! Control the entire train! Don't let any suspicious person escape!"
In the morning, inside the Kankdar station, intense gunshots shattered the festive atmosphere. The audience, startled by the public shooting, screamed and fell into chaos, running around in panic to escape, making the scene a mess. Amidst this chaos, the City Guard who were originally guarding the surroundings swarmed forward, wanting to control the murderer and the train. However, due to the chaotic pushing and shoving of the audience, the City Guard's formation was difficult to deploy. After immediately suppressing the murderer, they had difficulty controlling the entire train for a time, and at this moment, Miss Dorothy inside the carriage also knew that she could no longer stay.
'I have to get out of here quickly... If I don't leave now, being trapped on the train will be troublesome...'
Miss Dorothy thought this way, and after packing everything, she put on her headscarf and face veil, hurriedly opened the door and went out. Then she conveniently knocked on the adjacent carriage door. After waiting for a moment, the door opened, and before Miss Dorothy's eyes was Naifnis, still in her pajamas and looking sleepy. After seeing the scene outside the train door, she was first stunned, and after confirming the height and eye color of the figure completely wrapped up before her, she spoke lazily.
"Hmm... it's Miss Dorothy... Is there something you need, knocking so urgently? By the way, what's going on outside? It seems very noisy..."
"There's no time to explain too much now, we need to get off the train quickly!"
"Get off? Hmm... Wait, I'll change my clothes."
"Don't change! Just cover yourself with your robe, grab your luggage, and go! There's no time to waste now!"
"Ah... Alright, alright..."
Hearing Miss Dorothy's urging tone, Naifnis also realized the seriousness of the matter, so she immediately started to act. Without changing out of her pajamas, she grabbed her North Wu robe and put it on, and put on her headscarf and face veil. As she picked up her luggage, Miss Dorothy on the other side had already opened the room's train window and thrown her luggage out.
"Climb out directly from here, and then follow me!"
Miss Dorothy said this to Naifnis, and after finishing speaking, she turned and climbed out of the train window. Naifnis also nodded upon seeing this, first throwing the luggage she had packed last night out the window, and then immediately climbing out herself.
After climbing out of the train, Miss Dorothy immediately took Naifnis and began to move away from the train. Under the cover of the small Corpse Puppets, she left the scene while avoiding all sightlines. The welcome ceremony scene was already in chaos due to the audience's panic, and the guards were unable to cope for a while. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Miss Dorothy took Vanya and fled, knowing that it would be troublesome if she was controlled by the guards on the train during this suspicious assassination.
While escaping, Miss Dorothy did not forget to continue paying attention to the situation at the assassination scene. At this time, the crew member who carried out the assassination was being held down by the guards, and Kid, who Vanya had captured, also had guards helping to suppress him. Kid, whom she had suppressed, had lost consciousness at this time and had completely fainted on the ground.
'What... What is going on?! How can there be assassins! Have those crew members also been possessed?'
Seeing the chaos before her eyes, Vanya thought with surprise in her heart. Then she cast her gaze towards the assassination scene in the distance, which was protected by many guards. Thinking of the people who had been shot and fallen there, her heart couldn't help but feel anxious.
'No, I have to go and treat the injured there quickly!'
Vanya thought this way urgently in her heart. However, just as she was about to give up suppressing and go to the VIP team to provide first aid, the familiar voice of Miss Dorothy sounded in her mind again.
'Treatment? I understand, Miss Dorothy...'
Hearing Miss Dorothy's words, Vanya immediately made some subtle movements. Then she released Kid, who was being held but had lost consciousness, and after handing him over to the guards, she quickly rushed to the protected VIP team. Since Vanya had not shown any intention of assassination before and had instead subdued a murderer, no one at the scene stopped her.
"Please let me see the condition of the injured! I can treat them!"
After Vanya arrived before the Guard, she spoke to the Captain, and the Captain of the Guard spoke after glancing at Vanya.
"Thank you, Sister Vanya, for your kindness, but it's not necessary now. The City Guard's professional doctors have already begun treating Mr. Robert and the others immediately. The treatment is currently underway with full effort, so please don't disturb the doctors. Sister Vanya, please rest aside."
The Captain of the Guard refused, speaking to Vanya. Listening to the Captain's words, Vanya's gaze went past him and looked at the human wall formed by the Guard members behind him. That human wall completely blocked off the matters behind it, and even a simple medical tent was being set up behind it. These Guard members controlled the assassination scene almost immediately, protecting the area before the surrounding people could react, surrounding the area so tightly that not even water could pass through.
"One more person means one more strength, please let me join the medical efforts! I will only assist from the side and will not delay the attending doctors' treatment activities."
Although she was refused by the Captain of the Guard, Vanya did not give up the idea of joining the treatment at this time. She continued to request the Captain, and this time the Captain's reply was even more resolute.
"No need! The matters here have been fully handed over to our Kankdar Guard for handling. Sister Vanya, you don't need to participate. Please rest aside. Our medical team also has excellent physicians born from the Holy Mother's Path. Captain, you don't need to worry about the safety of the injured."
Listening to the Captain of the Guard's words, Vanya couldn't help but be startled for a moment. Then her expression became resolute, and she slowly spoke.
"What if I insist on going in to treat them?"
"Then I can only do my best to stop you, Vanya. I'm very sorry, it's not that I don't trust you, Sister Vanya, but the assassins in this attack were people close to you, Sister Vanya. This is just a necessary precaution."
The Captain of the Guard said solemnly to Vanya. After speaking, he silently stared at Vanya, and an invisible aura of power spread from his body. Vanya, feeling this power, couldn't help but tense up, realizing the extraordinary nature of the person before her.
'This Captain... is an Extraordinary, and his rank is not low, he should be Chalk...'
Looking at the Captain of the Guard before her, and the group of guards standing beside him, Vanya felt a powerful sense of deterrence for a moment. At this time, she realized that what she was facing was a complete armed force protecting Kankdar's secular and hidden safety, with a Captain having at least Chalk level combat power and other Extraordinary guards. The other party was also Kankdar's legal law enforcement agency. Her own envoy guard had suffered heavy losses and had not yet recovered. She alone could not seize control of the scene from the City Guard, who were stronger than her both legally and in terms of strength. The other party was the dominant force at this chaotic scene, both reasonably and in terms of power. It would be very unwise for her to be forceful now.
After seeing the situation before her, Vanya couldn't help but frown and step back two steps. At this moment, Miss Dorothy, who was mingling with the crowd with Naifnis trying to leave the scene, saw Vanya's experience and immediately felt that something was wrong.
'Something's fishy...'
With this thought, Miss Dorothy immediately had the small Corpse Puppets she had scattered around the station fly towards the medical tent being set up, guarded by the City Guard. However, after only approaching a short distance, she noticed the rapid consumption of the """Shadow""" in the ring of concealment. The rate was terrifying.
'High-intensity Extraordinary detection!?'
After realizing the presence of strong Extraordinary detection around the tent, Miss Dorothy immediately stopped the miniature Corpse Puppets from advancing for reconnaissance. Instead, she mingled into a hidden place in the station, took out her magic box, and quickly took something out of it. Looking closely, it was a test tube, containing some kind of dark red liquid.
After taking out the test tube, Miss Dorothy took out an ordinary iron ring from the magic box. Then Miss Dorothy put the iron ring onto the test tube, and then took out a small piece of cloth and stuffed it into the gap between the ring and the glass test tube, securing the two together. Then she threw the test tube with the iron ring attached into the air, using her ability to control the iron ring to suspend it and fly straight up into the sky.
At the assassination scene, Vanya was still confronting the Captain of the Guard. Seeing that the Captain had no intention of letting her through, she had no choice. At this moment, in the sky above the assassination scene, a small object was flying straight towards the scene that was being protected and sealed by the guards. Looking closely, it was Miss Dorothy's test tube.
After using magnetism to control the test tube to fly to the boundary of the Extraordinary detection range, Miss Dorothy gave up control. The test tube, having lost its magnetic power, was affected by inertia and continued forward and downward, arcing towards the sealed scene. Just as it was about to fall directly onto the ground at the scene, the Captain who had been confronting Vanya seemed to have discovered the test tube's existence. He immediately turned around and quickly drew his gun to shoot the thrown test tube. The test tube was shot in mid-air at a height of four to five meters above the sealed scene, instantly bursting.
The moment the test tube burst, the dark red liquid inside instantly turned into a large cloud of dark red mist, suddenly bursting out at low altitude over the sealed scene, engulfing the entire area, including the place where Vanya and the Captain of the Guard were. Immediately, everything before their eyes turned dark red, and their vision was greatly obscured.
"What... What is this thing!"
The Captain, enveloped by the dark red mist, looked around in surprise for a moment. Although he didn't know exactly what this dark red dense mist was, he instinctively knew he should dispel it. So, at the very first moment the dense mist spread out, the Captain of the Guard took out a """Shadow""" talisman and used it, blowing a gust of strong wind to try and disperse it. But he was surprised to find that his wind only caused the dark red mist to violently churn and roll. The entire mist showed no sign of dispersing. From the outside, this dark red mist looked like a gaseous slime constantly changing shape and shaking, staying put no matter how the wind blew.
What was even worse was that someone, unknown who, howled in standard Faloro language, "Raise the wind to dispel the fog!". Other Guard members who had wind-summoning talismans also used their talismans one after another. Immediately, strong winds surged from all directions. Different air currents clashed within the sealed area, forming gusts of turbulence that made it impossible to open one's eyes. Combined with the red mist, the scene became utterly chaotic.
On the other side, after feeling this mist, Vanya immediately knew what it was. She had seen Claudius use this thing before when she fought him in the underground ruins of Saint Crown University. This was a blood mist with dual abilities of concealment and healing, a product of the Eight Point Nest!
The strong wind could not disperse the mist. Instead, it made the guards at the scene and the other people behind the human wall uncomfortable. Some people were even unable to open their eyes due to the wind. The dark red mist combined with the strong wind created a scene of complete chaos within the sealed area. Amidst this chaos, several painful wails came from within the sealed area. After hearing these sounds, Vanya wanted to rush over immediately, but at this moment, a voice sounded in her mind again. Hearing this familiar voice, Vanya immediately looked to her right. Then she saw an object break through the dense mist and fly straight towards her. Vanya reached out and grabbed it, and upon closer inspection, she found that it was a gas mask in the style used by classical doctors, with a bird-beak shape, a gas mask from this world.
Without hesitation, Vanya put on the bird-beak mask. The wind and gas protection provided by the mask gave her better mobility in this extremely chaotic environment, at least she wouldn't be unable to open her eyes due to the turbulence. Then, Vanya immediately leaped towards the sealed area, enduring the strong wind and blood mist. The Captain in front of her was severely interfered with, so he didn't see Vanya's movement for a moment and didn't have time to stop her.
Leaping into the sealed area, Vanya immediately found two people in the direction of the wails. After getting very close, Vanya found that they were a noble Miss and a gentleman covering their wounds and struggling in pain. Around them was the medical team, thrown into disarray by the blood mist and strong wind. Beside the injured, there were also several broken medicine bottles and syringes.
Seeing this scene, Vanya immediately tore off a piece of cloth and soaked it with some medicine from the broken medicine bottles. Then she carried the two injured people and quickly ran towards the outside of the sealed area. Guided by the voice in her mind, she found the correct direction within this extremely chaotic area. During this time, she could feel countless figures beside her wanting to shout and chase her, but her full-speed running made it impossible for those pursuers to catch up. Before long, those pursuers were all lost in this chaotic environment.
Before long, Vanya rushed out of the chaotic area ravaged by blood mist and strong wind, and rushed into the station where the panicked audience had gathered. Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, she placed the two injured people she was carrying onto the ground and began to diagnose them in front of the crowd. She began to treat the two injured people who were struggling in pain with all her might.
Not long after the diagnosis, Vanya discovered a slight abnormality on the patients. The symptoms they were currently exhibiting seemed not only caused by external gunshot wounds. Vanya used her ability to examine the entire bodies of the two patients and found that in addition to the gunshot wounds, there was another factor endangering their lives: poison...
On these two patients, Vanya felt the poison that had almost spread throughout their bodies. This type of poison was very potent and should have been able to end an ordinary life in moments. Given this level of spread, they should have already died.
The reason why these two had not died yet and had survived until Vanya's treatment was entirely due to the strong life-sustaining effect inherent in the blood mist. This was developed by the Eight Point Nest for their senior executives to save their lives at critical moments. Considering various fatal factors, for these ordinary people, extending their lives was more than enough.
