Chapter 164 Death in Prison
……

Inner city of Sun City.

When Nie Hong and his companions had just set out, Nino also returned to the Inner City Guard Station, wanting to find Navidad to ask clearly.

Theoretically, the traitor has been caught and his temporary position should be revoked. There is no reason for him to enter and leave the Guard Station at will.

But the people here were familiar with Nino after all, so they turned a blind eye to his actions.

However, when he arrived at the place where Navidad was being held, there were already guards guarding the door.

"Lord Nino, is there anything that brings you back?" the guard greeted with a smile.

"Sorry, I still have some questions that I want to ask Navidad. I wonder if you can let me go in and talk to him." Nino said sullenly.

Hearing this, the guards were in a dilemma: "But Lord Wengerson has ordered that no one else be allowed to approach Navidad. Be careful of the tricks of this kind of knowledge scholar."

"Yes, he told me this at the time. But I brought him back, so can you... give me some favor?" Nino could hardly speak clearly.

Although the situation is urgent, for someone like him who rarely engaged in social interactions when he was in office, it is really a loss of face for him to swallow his pride and bypass procedures to seek favors.

The guards looked at each other, still seeming hesitant.

If it was an ordinary prisoner, they might have considered letting Nino in.

But this time it was Lord Wengerson who gave the order himself, and the prisoners inside were very important and were the source of the current chaos in Sun City. If something really happened, they would not be able to bear the responsibility.

"Please, I have something important to tell you. It will only take a moment! Five minutes!" Nino was anxious. He never thought that he would be so embarrassed about this matter, but he was not very good at talking.

Looking at Nino's impatient appearance, it was mainly because Nino's already majestic face gave people a great sense of oppression when he got anxious.

The guard quickly comforted him, "Okay, okay, let's go in and talk for a while, and you can come back soon."

As they spoke, they unlocked the door.

Nino thanked him repeatedly, then pushed the door open and rushed in.

The two guards left at the door looked at each other helplessly again, and then followed him in.

But after following Nino in, they were all stunned.

"Navidad, I have something to ask you!" Nino asked loudly in a suppressed voice as soon as he entered.

But Navidad's figure sat in the corner of the cell without making any sound.

Nino frowned, feeling something was wrong. After taking a closer look, his expression changed drastically.

"Navida!?" He came directly to the cell and saw Navidad's appearance through the darkness.

His face turned pale, his body lost temperature, his eyes closed forever, and his breathing stopped.

The guards suddenly realized something was wrong and came closer.

"This...how could this happen!" a guard exclaimed.

The heavily detained prisoner died quietly! ?

"Didn't anyone of you come in and keep an eye on him?" Nino asked, turning around.

"Lord Wengerson asked us to guard outside..." the guard replied quickly.

"How come...has anyone been in and out of the cell before you?"

"No, City Lord Wengerson directly assigned us to keep a strict guard. We are just here to take over the shift. Apart from that, we know nothing." The guard was obviously very scared, and his voice was trembling.

Nino confirmed that Navidad was really dead, so he asked two guards to open the cell door and went straight in to check Navidad's body.

There were no external injuries on the body and the cause of death is unknown.

"Go and inform the others..." Nino said calmly.

The two guards immediately turned around and ran to report.

Nino stayed and looked around again.

Suddenly, he dropped a crystal ball of light into Navidad's arms.

Get inspiration?

Nino was stunned and gently took the ball of light.

It's not a strange thing for a believer to leave inspiration after death. After all, the probability is just a little lower, but it's not impossible. But it happened to be Navidad's inspiration...

Nino put it away.

He had been honest for most of his life, and for the first time he felt a sense of stealth and shame. However, in order to get the truth behind this incident, he really gave it a go.

At about the same time, hurried footsteps were heard outside.

Surprisingly, Navidad's death did not cause any particular stir.

As the person who accidentally broke in and discovered the incident, Nino received minimal investigation and was not troubled. Everyone he met along the way testified to his innocence.

Afterwards, he also learned the cause of Navidad's death, which was that he died of exhaustion of his sensory power and was judged to have committed suicide out of fear of crime.

The most serious situation after the induction ability is exhausted is death. However, at the level of induction ability, it is difficult for others to intervene. Direct exhaustion and death basically only occur in believers who have exhausted themselves to the limit.

With the current change of Zhuyang, this matter is not so worthy of attention.

For others in Sun City who learned the news, that was the extent of the matter.

Nino received a letter from Lord Wengerson.

After hearing the news, the city lord immediately asked for details, but after knowing the situation, he let it go and became puzzled about Nino's sudden return to look for Navidad.

However, Wengerson was also busy with other affairs at the time, and Zhuyang's matter had reached a critical moment, so he did not come to see Nino in person.

After reading the words in the letter, it was not difficult for Nino to understand what Wengersen meant.

The matter has come to an end. Even if there are still doubts, please leave them until after Zhuyang takes over.

After reading the letter, Nino looked up.

The captain of the inner city guards stood in front of Nino and nodded gently, saying, "Thank you for your contribution to Sun City, Nino, but under the current circumstances, you really can't come into the guard station anymore. We don't have much manpower left."

Apparently, Wengerson had communicated something to him.

Nino nodded calmly, without any objection, and left the guard station with the letter.

At the door of the Guards' Office, he looked back at the majestic building behind him and stared at it for a long time before setting off on his way home.

……

Sanctuary station.

Salomo met Nino at the door with a serious face.

"I heard about what happened. Is the clue cut off?" Salomo asked bluntly as soon as they met.

Nino nodded, and then said, "Let's go in and talk."

The two returned to the base and were still in the same reception room.

Nino took out Navidad's extracted inspiration and placed it in front of Salomo.

"You said this is the inspiration from Navidad?"

"At least it was left on him. I hope you have the ability to do a little identification and check the situation. Right now, she is probably the only possible clue we can rely on." Nino said.

Salomo tapped the table with his fingers, then took the item in front of him. "He died because his inductive power was exhausted, and then he left behind inspiration. This is indeed a suspicious combination. I will help you investigate it, but don't hold your hopes too high."

Nino nodded, and Salomo stood up and left the reception room directly.

Nino was left sitting alone in the room, staring blankly at the brightly lit ceiling.

At this time, he encountered confusion that he had never experienced in his life before.

In this situation, he thought of his dead father who was a guard, his elderly mother, and his sister who was of marriageable age but had no ideal partner.

Where will this “broken ship” of Sun City go in the future?
In his messy thoughts, Nino couldn't help but think of Anti again.

Anti's joking proposal came to my mind uncontrollably.

But he quickly shook his head to dispel it.

He really started to have wild thoughts.

Standing up, he decided to go home and get some sleep and rest.
