"Well, kill me."

The second lieutenant was still ashamed of her mistakes. She closed her eyes, as if she was ready to die.

Faust grabbed the tie on her chest helplessly and pulled the lieutenant in front of him:

"Secretary Lieutenant, as a law-abiding citizen of the empire, I have no habit of killing people."

"...I've been caught in the police station, and I'm so shameless about saying that I'm not aware of the law..."

"Uh." This sentence stabbed Faust's fatal hole. He smiled awkwardly, "This matter is a long story. After the Second Lieutenant explains the information you have, I will explain it to you clearly."

"...If you want to do it, just do it. If you say the word "pain", I will take your surname."

"Ah this."

The empire still retains the tradition of the wife following the husband's surname after the couple gets married, so after the second lieutenant said this, she immediately felt something was wrong and immediately bit her mouth and spat hard.

"Bah... I'm serious, Mr. Faust! I'm definitely not your enemy!"

Faust accepted it calmly: "I understand this, Your Excellency. But I am used to taking the initiative, Your Lieutenant—"

Faust wrapped the tie on the lieutenant's uniform around the palm of his hand. He exerted a little force, making the tie tighten around the lieutenant's neck:

"Do you know me? It seems that it is not a chance encounter on the train, but your deliberate approach. Who is the second lieutenant?"

The lieutenant was so angry that she was strangled by her tie that she was blushing and her blue eyes were full of panic. If it weren't for the performance, then this person was just an ordinary girl and didn't look like an experienced soldier at all.

"I...I, I, Mr. Faust! It's too tight-!"

"Tsk."

Faust loosened his tie a little, and the second lieutenant took two breaths of air and finally became honest.

Her attitude was no longer as arrogant as before, and even her voice became much softer:

"I'm from the Defense Suppression Bureau."

Defense and suppression bureau.

If you are an ordinary person, you probably wouldn't have heard of the name of this department.

But Faust was born in the upper class of the empire at least. He knew that the Defense and Suppression Bureau was a secret department affiliated to the army and was responsible for paying attention to some "extraordinary" criminal cases.

It is rumored that the Defense Suppression Bureau has a bad reputation. Because the authorities need to hide those "supernatural" existences from the people, the Defense Suppression Bureau usually deals with crimes not publicly recognized by the state.

Therefore, it is not obsessed with complying with common social regulations, and often secondes some capable people who have not had any flawless experiences.

Faust felt that things were getting interesting. Is this related to the devil, woodland and moths he saw in his dreams?

The lieutenant was still muttering:

"I have no malice to Mr. Faust, but I will pay extra attention only on the protection list of the Defense Suppression Bureau."

“What protection list?”

The second lieutenant replied: "A list of protections for the empire's nobles. It was a surprise to meet you on the train. My intention was to let Mr. Faust leave the town of Crowns."

Standard Bank has gone bankrupt, and Faust is definitely not a great empire. If such a list of protections really exists, why did it leave Faust's name?

This is indeed confusing, but Faust decided to put it aside.

He pinched the female lieutenant's chin, stared at the other party's eyes and asked, "What's your name?"

Faust's facial features were too close, which made the second lie a little nervous. She had rarely seen anyone who looked so beautiful. Most of the Junker nobles in the empire praised the so-called martial spirit with rudeness and no words, and rarely had a beautiful face like Faust.

The second lieutenant blushed slightly, dodging Faust's gaze, but speaking honestly:

"My name is Jiabao, the second lieutenant of the Imperial Army, an intern at the Defense and Suppression Bureau..."

Faust burst out laughing: "The intern pretends to be so powerful, okay, Lieutenant, so are you here to protect me? Just because I'm on the list of the distinguished people in the Defense Suppression Bureau?"

"Bah, of course not." Jiabao said angrily, "I came to investigate the extraordinary case in Yachao Town! Who knows... Who knows that he just came to the police station to hand over and gets into such a thing..."

Jiabao was a little depressed. She lowered her head and her bright golden hair drooped down, shining like a glittering waterfall.

Faust asked, "Is that Theseusian the case you are going to investigate? All the people in the police station have been killed. I think you should report to your superiors quickly and ask them to send some more powerful people to deal with it.

It is obvious that the situation is not something you can solve."

Jiabao smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm afraid this won't work."

"Why not?"

“…Anyway, it just doesn’t work.”

Faust originally wanted to grab the tie again, but thinking about how honest the female officer explained the problem, and doing some rough things was not in line with the gentlemanly style.

"Then you should tell me directly what the case is? I'm also very troubled. No matter how you look at the Theseusian, they are organized. If we kill one, it's hard to guarantee that a group of people will be involved in the future."

Jiabao's hands were tied by Faust's shirt and his feet were tied by his uniform jacket. She couldn't move her whole body and could only sway left and right to protest.

Garbo said unhappily: "What about Mr. Faust? Mr. Faust asked so many questions, but did not say why he was in the police station. And, and..."

She seemed to think of something and sighed repeatedly:

"And...and I'm so ugly... I'm really using my face."

Jiabao sighed, as if he felt particularly regretful for Faust, which made Faust feel offended.

"Now the initiative is with me, Your Excellency." Faust reiterated, "What kind of case is it that requires the operators of the Imperial Defense Suppression Bureau to take action? I slaughtered all the police stations as soon as I started. I am really interested in trampling on the majesty of the Imperial Laws."

Jiabao stammered and finally said, "Can Mr. Faust guarantee not to tell others?"

Faust swore in seconds: "I promise in my father's reputation that I will never say it. OK, okay, tell me quickly! I rescued you just now."

"Does Mr. Faust know the day when God leaves?"

The day when God leaves.

This is a noun in history, meaning "the day when the gods leave the world". It means a landmark time node, which is often regarded by historians as the end of the medieval period.

According to the research of some religious scholars, before the age of the princes, that is, in the Middle Ages and earlier dynasties, the gods could walk directly on earth, and the earth was filled with giants, ghosts, monsters and wizards.

However, because many gods were too involved in the mortal world, their divine nature was influenced by the beliefs of mortals and were distorted or even degenerated. In order to maintain their purity, the gods agreed on a moment to raise their residence and enter the light realm called "Sleeping".

That day is called the day of God's separation.
