Mystery: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 143 Not Everyday

369
Looking at the little boy behind the altar, and listening to his slightly hoarse and immature voice, Derrick seemed to be facing the most terrifying monster, and almost chopped off the "Hurricane Axe" in his hand.

In his common sense, it is definitely not human beings who can survive in pure darkness for such a long time. Even if they were once, they will definitely not be after so long!

"Demon Hunter" Colin's eyes seemed to be brighter again, he tightened the palm of his sword, and asked in a calm voice:
"what are you doing here?"

The little yellow-haired boy who called himself Jack replied with a slightly painful expression:

"We are seeking the sanctuary of the Lord."

"The sanctuary of the Lord?" Colin asked.

"Yes." The little boy Jack looked sideways at the dark cross and the upside-down portrait, "They told me that as long as you walk in the direction where the Lord's eyes are looking, and keep going, you can reach His sanctuary."

"They? You still have companions?" Colin's eyes turned around like some kind of monster, taking in all the surrounding situations, "What about them?"

Hearing this question, the little boy Jack was obviously taken aback.

Suddenly, he held his throat and said with a distorted expression:
"I'm very hungry……

"I'm so hungry..."

In the almost sleepy words, the little boy Jack raised his head and looked at Joshua who was wearing red gloves.

"I'm so hungry..."

He opened his mouth and grinned all the way to the base of his ears. His white teeth were neat and straight, and slightly viscous saliva kept gushing out.

At the same time, he rushed out and rushed towards Joshua in front, so fast that there was still a broken image on the spot.

Although Joshua was on high alert, he was a little too late to react at this time.

Before he could even see the process clearly, the little boy Jack jumped in front of him.

Boom!
The light-blond figure seemed to hit an invisible wall, and stopped only one step away from Joshua.

The little boy Jack stuck in the air, and a reddish black light burst out from his body, corroding the transparent barrier that blocked him.

Behind Joshua and Derrick, "Demon Hunter" Colin knelt down on one knee at some point, and inserted the straight sword smeared with silver-gray ointment into the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the entire area where the altar was located instantly brightened, as if it was filled with the purest morning light.

Colin drew his sword suddenly, and his figure split strangely, turning into overlapping afterimages distributed around the altar.Each figure raised the sword in their hands at the same time, combining with the nearby morning light, it burst into bright brilliance.

Whoosh whoosh!
A straight sword stabbed out, and the light of the morning sun swarmed and gathered, surrounding the little boy Jack from all directions.In the brilliance of the rising sun, the black and red figure quickly evaporated and disappeared in the storm-like attack.

In the underground hall where the altar is located, the light became so bright that Derrick Berg couldn't help but close his eyes.

He shook his head abruptly, woke up from a deep sleep, and saw the quietly burning fire in front of him and the team members guarding the camp dutifully.

"Demon Hunter" Colin, who was sitting cross-legged next to a stone pillar, opened his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"Start after 50 lightning strikes."

Hearing these words, Derrick looked up at the sky, and found that the frequency of lightning had not increased significantly, and darkness was still the master of this land.

Thinking of the city-state he was about to arrive at, and the temple of the fallen creator, he couldn't help being a little nervous.

After spending a certain amount of time calming down, Derrick ate quickly and regained his fighting state.

I don't know what will happen in that temple... Holding the "Hurricane Axe", he came to the middle of the team.

Inside the camp, lanterns covered with thin animal skins were lit one after another.

…………

Hillston area.

Klein, who had walked for half an hour before returning to the city, returned home exhausted both physically and mentally. Fortunately, there were no accidents along the way, and the evil spirit really let them go.

After heating the hot water and adjusting the temperature, Klein took a comfortable bath and relieved his tension and fatigue.

With laziness after taking a bath, he took four steps backwards and entered above the gray mist, intending to use divination to confirm the matter of the evil spirit.

Considering that he was covered in gray fog in front of that evil spirit, but the other party didn't respond or ask questions, Klein boldly guessed that the other party couldn't directly notice the gray fog like Edward Vaughn.

And the strength of the evil spirit can be compared with Mr. Azik. When I was still in Tingen, I boldly predicted Mr. Azik. The evil spirits should be harmless.

He just survived a desperate situation. If he couldn't quickly confirm the other party's state and attitude towards him, Klein might not be able to eat.

In the silent ancient palace, Klein leaned back in his chair and seriously thought about which divination method to choose and how to design divination sentences. This must conform to the principles of mysticism, cannot involve subdivision and exclusion, and must have enough information.

After a short period of stillness, Klein leaned forward, manifested a pen and paper, and wrote down what he wanted to confirm:

"The evil spirits I encountered by chance have strong malice towards Sharon and me."

Klein took off the pendulum on his left wrist, held it with one hand, and began to meditate.

After repeated murmurs, he opened his eyes and looked forward.

This time, the citrine pendant is doing its normal clockwise rotation.

This shows that the evil spirit is more malicious than Klein imagined.

At that time, the spiritual intuition of Miss Sharon and I was normal... That evil spirit is also a strong person who interferes with divination and prophecy... From his speech at the beginning, it can be felt that he was indeed intent on killing us, but After confirming that I had a relationship with Mr. Azik and gained his attention, I stopped... That means Mr. Azik is stronger than I imagined, and this evil spirit is not what Sharon and I imagined It was so terrifying, but it was easy enough to kill us... Klein sighed, returned to the real world, and lay down on the bed.

It's a pity that the heat brought by the "sun brooch" is only a psychological feeling, and cannot warm the bed... Before going to sleep, he closed his eyes and thought regretfully.

370
9 Second Avenue, Jorwood, Monday morning.

After a sleepless night, Klein slept comfortably until ten o'clock.When the sunlight came in through the gap in the curtains and hit his eyelids, he slowly opened his eyes and yawned long.

According to the scheduled plan, after completing all the "visiting" on Saturday and Sunday, he decided to take a rest for a day and report the final result to Prince Edesak tomorrow and hand over the task.

The devil angel seemed to be expelled from Backlund, and his own life was saved.And he has become a faceless man, as long as he conceals his identity and stays away from Backlund, he can disappear without a trace like a drop of water falling into the sea.

Although he can't behave too casually these days, offend the prince, and can't go to the club to relax blatantly, but just being able to rest comfortably at home already makes him very happy.

Now is the long-lost moment of relaxation.

After dawdling in the warm blanket for a few minutes, Klein put on his nightgown and got up.He washed up, wiped his face with a towel, and exhaled in a good mood.

Walking out of the washroom, looking at the clean and tidy living room and dining room, seeing the sun shining through the clouds on the transparent glass windows, showing golden spots, he seemed to feel that the haze in his heart for many days was swept away , so the mood becomes happy.

Reward yourself at noon and go out to find a good restaurant... Klein returned to the second floor and changed his clothes.

Just as he was flipping through the newspaper and waiting for a good lunch time, the doorbell suddenly jingled.

"It's almost New Year's Eve, and someone else is here to entrust the task?" Klein got up and walked towards the door, making up his mind to reject the other party.

In order to get rid of the strife of the royal family, he must go to the south for a "vacation" as soon as possible, and can no longer accept tasks.

To his surprise, the visitor was not a stranger, but the old butler of Prince Edsac.

The old butler wore a well-tailored long tuxedo, and saluted without being arrogant or losing his identity:
"Detective Moriarty, His Royal Highness is waiting for you in the carriage at the street corner, hoping to know the progress of the investigation."

So impatient?That's good, so I don't have to go to the Red Rose Manor tomorrow... Klein quickly reorganized the rhetoric he conceived last night in his mind, and responded calmly:
"Ok."

He was about to take off the hat on the coat rack when he suddenly felt a pain in his stomach, the kind of pain he wanted to squat on the toilet.

After holding back, he found that he couldn't help it, and said to the old housekeeper apologetically:
"I'm very sorry, I'm going to the bathroom first, my stomach is not feeling well."

The old butler didn't have any unusual expressions:

"This is your freedom."

After Klein finished solving his emergencies, he found that the old housekeeper was no longer there, and waiting outside was the maid with natural curly brown hair.

"His Royal Highness asked me to apologize to you. He still has something to do and he can't wait too long. Please go to Red Rose Manor tomorrow or the afternoon of the day after tomorrow." The maid saluted meticulously.

It's less than 10 minutes, I'm already as fast as possible...I usually hold the newspaper, I can squat for a while... Klein smiled and said:
"no problem."

After receiving the response, the maid who had completed the task immediately unburdened herself, and said with a light smile:

"Detective Moriarty, you missed that lady again."

"Huh?" Klein was slightly at a loss.

The maid lowered her voice and said, "That young lady is with His Royal Highness this time, and she proposed to pay a detour to visit you."

As a result, I missed it because of a stomachache?There's something wrong... Klein frowned slightly.

This repeated "coincidence" clearly pointed to something that impressed him deeply, and also recalled someone who was impossible to forget. This fact made Klein's relaxed mood clouded again. layer of shadows.

But no matter what, you still have to eat.

Although his mood was a bit complicated, Klein went out according to the original plan and went to a restaurant that he had been coveting for days.

After finishing the sumptuous and delicious lunch, he didn't choose to stay, and immediately returned to his residence, and skillfully went above the gray mist, trying to verify his almost certain guess.

Thinking about it a little bit, Ince Zangwill is really bad. Holding a level 0 sealed item in his hand, he always exposes his biggest characteristics and flaws. Even ordinary people can detect some abnormalities... If that maid also knew about 0-08 and the "coincidence", then she must have discovered the lady's problem a long time ago... It is hard to imagine that there is such a powerful sealed item, but there is no city in the way of doing things and layout. How the hell did he get 0-08 out of the sealing chamber in the Church of Evernight flawlessly...

Complaining in his heart, Klein picked up the round-bellied pen that appeared, paused for two seconds and wrote:
"I was involved in a series of coincidences made by the sealed item '0-08' again."

Putting down the dark red pen, Klein held the silver chain in his left hand, and started divination step by step.

At the end, he opened his eyes and looked at the pendulum that was close at hand.

Citrine pendant stands still and does not rotate.

This indicates that the divination failed!
It may be that the conditions are insufficient and the divination is not possible, or it may be that "0-08" made a confrontation... Similar results will appear in both cases... Klein changed the sentence again, pointing to different targets, but the divination eventually all Failed.

He tapped the edge of the mottled long table with his fingers, hesitating whether to go to Red Rose Manor tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

If it is true that there is no "0-08" or similar power to arrange these things, then my sudden absconding will definitely arouse Prince Edesak's suspicion, no, the absconding may not be successful, Prince Edesak's people are downstairs... ...Of course, it's easy for me, already a "faceless man", to find a chance to escape when I'm out, but is it necessary to go to this extent?

Tomorrow and the next afternoon, if I honestly pay a visit to Prince Edesak, and hand over the task normally, I will be able to "leave" Backlund without attracting attention, and His Royal Highness, a prince, should not force me, a wild Extraordinary, to be able to Complete too difficult things...

If there are really level 0 Sealed Artifacts or unimaginable powerhouses affecting recent events, judging from my experience, I should be just a supporting role who strayed into the stage and have not received enough attention. In this case, absconding It's like telling the other party that I've noticed the existence of "you"!I have a big problem!

In this way, relying on the ability of the "faceless man" may not be able to get rid of the "gaze" that locks on me...

The best way is to go to the Red Rose Manor calmly, exit the stage with the most normal procedures, take a decent curtain call, and fade away from the "line of sight" from nowhere...

Combining the two elements, Klein finally decided to pretend he didn't find anything, hand over the task according to the predetermined plan, and "leave" Backlund.

.........

In the open-air camp that burns with flames and is always manned.

Derrick Berg leaned against a stone pillar and recovered his strength from a deep sleep.

At this moment, he dreamed of the boundless gray and white mist, dreamed of an ancient chair located at the highest point in the center, and an indifferent figure sitting on the chair, looking down on everything.

"Mr. Fool..." Derrick chanted the name in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the voice from The Fool:

"Get ready to party".

371
Da da da.

Amon sat on the seat in the waiting area on the bank of the Tasuo River, staring at the pocket watch in his hand, waiting for the moment when it was three o'clock.

Soon, the slight movement of the minute and hour hands sounded together with the roar of the steam cruise ship from far to near.At three o'clock in the afternoon on Monday, Amon waited patiently and felt, but after a full 5 minutes passed, he didn't notice the slightest breath of Origin Castle.

"That fortune teller has already left Backlund?"

"Is there something else? Well, no matter what, I can't find him, and the information of Origin Castle has just left me..."

He waited an extra day just to see if there would be any emergencies at this special time, but there was none at all.Amon got up regretfully and walked towards the ticket gate.

He has been staying at the residence of the Aurora Society for the past two days, watching Medici teach hunters, and going to the small temple to pray, but he did not get a clear response from the real creator, only the feeling of "reading".

This made Amon not sure about the attitude of the real Creator, and it was difficult for him to position himself.Because in his view, children seem to be "approved" by their parents before they can be considered truly related by blood.

Although there are many family relationships that are not recognized by both sides but are still established, Amon feels that this should not apply to him.

This matter had to be studied slowly later.

Now, he is leaving Backlund and going to East Chester County.

Amon handed in the [-]% discount package for the first-class cabin that he had applied for at the Loen Domestic Travel Agency, and boarded the passenger ship through the VIP channel.He didn't rush to his suite, but took a leisurely walk on the deck on the second floor, admiring the scenery along the river, and inhaling the smog of Backlund.

About 10 minutes later, after the ticket check was completed, thick smoke spewed out from the chimney of the steam passenger ship, and the deck under the feet began to vibrate. The passenger ship slowly turned its bow in the spacious inland channel, and headed for the estuary along the flow of the river.

It will take at least an hour to transfer from here to the estuary, and Amon is going to go to the suite to rest for a while.

Just as he turned around, he happened to catch a glimpse of another passenger ship waiting in the port—this ship was heading directly to Bayam, the maritime colonial city of Loen.A young man with dark gray hair carried a suitcase and walked up the deck along the boarding ladder among the crowd.

The young man noticed his gaze, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then looked away.

Amon didn't even intend to say hello, and the two just ran away from each other and disappeared from each other's sight.
