Chapter 380 By Any Means Necessary
"Well, how should I put it, it's more prosperous than expected?"
From an absolutely safe distance, Annan held a telescope and observed the burning prison in the distance.
The prison where a large fire broke out was a private prison on the outskirts of Kedakes City.
"Your men did a good job. Next, as long as we are not found to be the mastermind."
"I won't be discovered. I have this confidence..."
Rodrick put down the telescope with a complicated expression.
He never imagined that he would accept Annan's crazy proposal, which was to burn down the entire prison.
While the prison is on fire, they can secretly eliminate all targets who may have become believers of the Abyss.
"If all goes well, after this fire, all the targets should become victims of the fire. It doesn't matter if there are fish that slip through the net, I will deal with them properly."
In order to execute the plan to burn the prison, they spent more than two months preparing.
Things went much smoother than expected. Roderick's men, who secretly inserted themselves in, successfully set fire to the entire prison at the designated time. Now most of the targets should have been dealt with.
"As long as you have confidence."
Annan felt that it was too slow to clear out all the targets one by one, and just like what Roderick said, even if the suspicious objects were killed secretly, there were still too many people, which would definitely arouse the suspicion of the prison or the police.
In a short period of time, more than fifty people were killed in the prison. Even in the prisons of this somewhat chaotic country, this is an unusual thing.
Normally, one or two people dying in a prison every month is the limit. If there are more, there will definitely be problems.
Annan felt that if these people were allowed to exist, a new Abyss Cult might be created secretly, and he did not want to take this risk.
Therefore, he came up with such a method, which was to burn the prison directly.
This kind of brutal and excessive approach will definitely implicate many innocent prisoners - if the prisoners can be said to be innocent.
However, without such a direct enough approach, they are too passive and too slow.
Annan originally thought that the method he proposed would be rejected, but to his great surprise, everyone who participated in the meeting seemed to acquiesce to this matter.
Finally, after two months of careful planning, I set off a fire today and had a fire event.
"As long as everything goes well, the flames should cleanse all the madness, hopefully."
*
The fire in the private prison lasted for two days and two nights, and more than 70% of the area was affected by the flames.
This prison has a certain history. Except for the VIP area, it only has the lowest and most basic facilities. Therefore, once the flames are ignited, it will be difficult to prevent them from spreading.
In addition, the prison is located in the suburbs outside the city, and the fire brigade has to travel for a while to provide disaster relief. Naturally, it will miss the golden opportunity to put out the fire.
Moreover, behind this seemingly accidental fire, there were a group of veritable troublemakers from the Nares Gang.
Even if the fire could be barely extinguished, due to these various factors, it has become such a tragic situation now.
"More than a hundred people died, which is a little less than expected."
In the quiet conference room, Annan was holding a freshly released local newspaper to confirm the status of the prison fire.
"About seventy people died directly in the fire, and the others were seriously injured and died. As for the number of injured people, is it almost a thousand people?"
Annan thought of the fire that happened in the slums of this city not long after he traveled to this world.
That time it was the work of the Abyss Order to cover up their crimes.
This time, it can also be said to be related to the Abyss Religion, but they are the ones who did it.
This is probably the so-called feeling that the tides are turning, and I will be the villain.
"So far, we can confirm that all targets are dead."
Roderick looked expressionless and confirmed the situation with his accomplices present.
"A few guys were lucky. They were rescued without any injuries. However, I dealt with them in time. Some of them were sent to the hospital. It is not difficult to deal with them. However, those targets who were buried in the sea of fire, their bodies It has been burned beyond recognition. Even if someone really sneaks away during the fire, we can't be sure..."
Rodrick paid a lot for this operation. Among the men he sent to the prison, one unfortunately died and several others were seriously injured.
Although he thought it was worth it and a necessary price, he couldn't help but feel the harshness of his conscience.
When an underground emperor or a gang boss said he had a conscience, it might make many people laugh. He himself thought it was a bit ridiculous, but he did feel a little aching in his heart.
It would be too funny if, after doing so many things, we didn't get the desired result in the end, and some fish still slipped through the net.
"The target we can solve is the one identified by the man named Kant. If the target of that guy's preaching also secretly preached and succeeded, then we really have no way of knowing who has the problem."
Annan certainly knew that this would happen, but without a better confirmation method, they could only do their best.
If those people were given more time, it might really be possible to create a new Abyss Order group that could cut off all known possibilities now, or that might be enough.
"We have to be careful for a long time. Accidents can happen at any time."
After more than two months, all the suspicious subjects who had already served their sentences and been released from prison had been found.
In order to avoid killing innocent people indiscriminately, Annan personally contacted those people to confirm their situation.
It's just that the effect isn't very good.
Just like a dark race that is trying hard to hide its own problems, and is face to face with a white knight with extremely high sensing ability, there is still a high possibility that the white knight will not be able to see through the identity of the person opposite.
If the problem with black magic could be seen at a casual glance, the white knight wouldn't have to work so hard.
In the same way, no matter how powerful Annan's inspiration is, it is impossible to confirm whether the character in front of him has entered the abyss of madness with just one glance. This always requires long-term observation and in-depth examination to understand.
All I can say is that he tried his best.
When safety cannot be confirmed, all suspicious objects can only be dealt with secretly.
"For our own safety, we are really unscrupulous."
Annan didn't have any regrets about this incident. After all, if those people didn't die completely, they might be the last ones to die.
But that's all.
