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

Chapter 29 The Three Evil Gods Find Lanerwus

"The money is always used up without knowing it." Edward sighed.

"Yes." Mazo, who was basking in the sun next to him, replied deeply.

The dark sage who checked the accounts in the next room watched his heart, and the breath of poverty permeated the Aurora Society, making God feel pain.

It has been more than a month since the god descended, and His container has grown rapidly, and now it has the appearance of a two-year-old child.His very individual black gold highlights became more and more obvious, and the golden color tended to spread downwards, gradually occupying one-third of the territory, which was much better than when it was forced to the root of the hair at the beginning.The red eyes are still the same as before, if you walk outside, you will probably be considered a vampire hybrid... Will you be caught as a spiritual material... How much can a vampire sell for?Edward began to diverge his thinking.

"You seem to be thinking about some impolite things." The True Creator squinted at him, "You've been quite free recently, aren't you in a hurry to get promoted?"

"It's useless to be anxious." The devil replied, "Little Zaratul has also been trapped as a miracle teacher for so many years. From the Fourth Epoch until now, I haven't found a chance to be promoted. Even a fortuneteller is no good. I must have more difficulties."

The other party then changed the topic: "Aurora Society has recently transformed very smoothly, and everyone is very motivated. Have you made any progress in tracking down Lanerus?"

"Who is Lanrus?"

"..." Zhenzao Yinren said, "The one who was given flesh and blood by me."

"Oh, you said that fraudster." Edward thought for a while, "There is no news at present. Mr. Z's subordinates and the members of the sect in the East District have already tried their best to find it. But there is one report that I am very interested in, that is The bounty hunters and even the private investigators who tracked down this Lanrus were hunted in stealth and tortured to death."

The real creator has noticed: "Cruel, demon or prisoner?"

"I don't know. But people who use such rough, reckless and malicious methods are definitely not high-sequencers. I have no interest."

Edward lit a cigarette, held it in his hand, and burned it quietly: "I think it's a demon. If this is also a demon, combined with Backlund's current serial murder case, isn't the concentration of demons here too high?"

The true Creator looked over with indescribable eyes, the left eye says the devil is beside me, and the right eye says what are you talking about.

"At present, it seems that Lanerus is active in the Eastern District, because the people looking for him basically died in the corner of the Eastern District." Edward rested his chin on one hand, as if he was talking to himself, or he seemed to be talking to the real creator. , "If it's really a demon or a prisoner, I can go there. How can a private detective and a bounty hunter have a combination of Extraordinary characteristics that is effective? However, the question is, why did Lanevus connect with these two paths? "

"It's not important, the important thing is to reclaim my flesh and blood from Lanerus." The true creator said, "Resources must not be wasted."

"You can't feel your flesh and blood at all, can you?"

"It can be sensed, but there are hundreds of them. He used some method to expand my pollution, and he should have given his blood to other people."

"It would take a long time to investigate one by one, not to mention that we can't convene a large-scale investigation... Forget it, let me go to the East District for some activities."

Hugh wore much padded shoes and a bushy beard to make himself look like a short man.She came to the agreed meeting place, and after waiting for a few minutes, she saw Maria, who had also put on a disguise and hid most of the scars on her face, came in a facelift.

"I know it's you, Hugh." Maria said straight to the point, "I received the latest information and found another body. Five people who traced Lanerus have died. Are you sure you want to continue?" ?”

"How could this be... Lanerus is simply a lunatic!"

There must be more than five people who died. Don't think of Williams who died tragically after only knowing the information. Even his face was destroyed and his identity could not be identified at all.It is normal for bounty hunters to disappear in disguise for three to five days because of bounty rewards. Lanerus seems to know it too, so he always kills them brutally, disfigures their faces, and throws their bodies in a very secluded corner.If it wasn't for the fact that Xio couldn't find Williams, the intelligence dealer she knew well, she would have been kept in the dark and continued to pursue him foolishly.

The arbitrator was furious, but there was nothing he could do: "Miss Maria, I cannot forgive such a devil! I hope that this guy will be punished no matter what, and I will never let go of any chance!"

"But you are not capable enough." Maria said mercilessly, "If I hadn't provided you with the identity of the corpse in time, you would probably be one of them who are blatantly pursuing it! Who gave you this order?" A reward? Don't you know anything about this person?"

Xio bit his lips. Although he was a little puzzled and complained, he still didn't say Miss Audrey's name: "I picked it up myself. At that time, I only thought it was an outdated reward that wasn't too difficult..."

"Then you should stop now. If you continue to participate, it may threaten your life."

"What about you, Maria?"

"I don't want to pursue this matter anymore, even if his reward is as high as several hundred pounds."

Anyway, this is a matter of the Aurora Society, not my job.Maria kicked the stone at her feet away irritably, and watched it fly out of the alley: "And I still have a lot to do! Because of the introduction of new machines in the textile factory, nearly half of the female workers were fired. New job, but there are not so many positions in the East District! I don’t know if that idiot encouraged them to go back and smash the machine to demonstrate, but there are still human traffickers taking the opportunity to kidnap people—I really don’t have time to deal with a scammer!”

Xio bit his lips tightly, and Maria didn't say a word at first, and the alley fell into dead silence for a while.

"...Maybe we can consider reporting this matter to the major churches." Xio reluctantly said, Maria's expression was still not good-looking.After a while, she cursed bitterly, "Okay, you report it, I hope the gods really care about the lives of people in the East District!"

It can only be this way.Feeling powerless, Xio followed Maria and left the alley.Suddenly her forehead bumped into the other's back, as if hitting an iron plate, she instantly stared at him.Xio poked his head out from behind Maria suspiciously, and saw a very familiar brown-haired gentleman passing by the alley from a distance——Forsi's editor, their benefactor in the previous Qilingus incident, Mr. Edward Vaughn!
What is he doing here?Why is this decent gentleman here?Oh, by the way, the last time we met was in the Eastern District. He seems to like collecting folk songs, so his works mainly focus on realistic tragedies...

Xio didn't notice Maria's abnormality.This disguise is not suitable for greeting, she lowered her head and pulled up her collar, and left quickly.

After she walked away, Maria recovered from her rigid state.She took a few deep breaths and continued walking.

——However, the moment she stepped out of the alley, she saw Edward Vaughn, who was passing by as if nothing had happened, standing beside him, standing in a blind spot at the entrance of the alley, looking at her with a smile on his face.

"You were afraid of me just now." Edward said with great interest, "Fear, surprise, surprise. You know me, and you also showed a trace of joy. ——Are you a member of the Pilgrim Sect? Sequence 6, the person in charge of the Eastern Region? "

"First...no, His Highness Angel of the Abyss, His Highness Richard showed me your portrait." Under the natural fear brought about by the high sequence, and under the influence of the sect's years of terrorizing the leader, Maria tried her best He tried his best to say this.She thought she was yelling, but her voice was as thin as a mosquito and could not be heard clearly by people a meter away, "Yes, I, yes, Backlund of the Pilgrim Sect, the person in charge...East District...I... ..."

"Don't mention the name, I will soon forget you."

Edward asked: "You were pleasantly surprised, did you encounter difficulties?"

Maria hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell the truth: "Yes, I'm tracking down Lanwusi in my personal capacity, and I'm also investigating human trafficking cases. The former has killed five people, but I don't have any clues yet. The latter is basically It's pretty certain Capin did it, but there's no proof."

"I'm also looking for Lanrus." Edward took out a piece of paper from the pocket of his coat. It was a part of the Eastern Region cut out from Backlund's map. Hundreds of small red dots were densely drawn on it.A dozen or so have been crossed out, "Probably all of them can be checked today."

Maria looked at the crossed-out mark, imagined the real meaning behind the "check", and didn't dare to speak.

Without waiting for Maria to continue speaking, he looked up and looked around, pointed in a certain direction and asked, "Does Capin live there?"

"Yes."

"Resentment and sin gather there, and the blood color is more obvious than other places." Edward glanced at it from a distance, "But there are other things that helped him share part of it. He has a backer, and it's normal for you to have no evidence....Since If you are a heinous person, then you are eligible to be my sacrifice. If you can sacrifice him to me, I will reward you."

"?!Please--"

Maria was startled, but just as she was organizing her words, the angel of the abyss had turned and left, and his back could no longer be found in the crowd.The person in charge who was suddenly assigned a task covered his face with one hand, and it took several seconds to finally calm down.Anyway, there are already so many troubles, so one more is acceptable... Maria sighed deeply, regained her spirits, and went to the dockworkers association as planned.

Three in the afternoon.

Klein left Mrs. Summer's luncheon and headed to the East District again.Combining the intelligence passed by Miss Justice and Taylor's information, this time he has a clearer goal: pretending to be a reporter, and entering the Dockworkers Association to check on Lanwusi's situation.

He didn't bring his own magical items and equipment, he just dressed up as a typical investigative reporter.He didn't know the current state of Lanwusi, and those violent and cruel collaborators.Therefore, it is best to be cautious, Klein did not carry anything that would arouse suspicion.

Not far from the two-story building, Klein pressed down on the brim of his hat, but he didn't feel any suspicious gazes—if you don't count the big black dog squatting at the door of the association, dozing off and basking in the sun with half-closed eyes .

Seeing that he was about to open the door, the big black dog raised its head and looked at him.The humanized eyes and the faint blood on the fur around the mouth made Klein feel a little creepy. Thinking of Miss Justice's big golden retriever who was suspected to be an audience member, Klein couldn't help wondering: Could this also be an Extraordinary dog, right?

He didn't pay much attention to the dog, pushed the door and walked in.It was found that the internal layout of the trade union was very simple, just a spacious concrete house, without any decorations and reception staff, not even a few chairs.The stairs are in the center, and the doors of many offices on both sides are closed tightly. A man in shabby clothes is standing beside the door. Klein moves closer:
"I am a reporter from Backlund Daily. I want to interview the staff of your association to understand your demands and desires."

Hearing the word reporter, the man's eyes suddenly became vigilant, and he replied repeatedly: "No! We haven't been organizing..."

"You don't need to answer him." A female voice interrupted the man's slightly panicked words. The woman with the iconic black hair and scar came down the stairs and said sharply, "I'm sorry, we don't accept it now." Any reporter interview, please go back, sir."

"—I think you are mistaken, ma'am."

Klein's mind was spinning rapidly. Judging from the man's relieved expression and the woman's response, the other party was obviously a leader in the association, probably the Miss Maria that Taylor mentioned.Klein used the extraordinary ability of "Joker" to try his best to make his eyes appear more sincere: "I am a person who sympathizes with you, and I plan to make a special report describing the things that unions do to help workers and Please believe me when you encounter practical difficulties."

Maria's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was weighing the truth of this sentence.A layer of cold sweat quietly broke out on Klein's back. After a long while, she finally spoke, "We have encountered too many difficulties. Since you are coming to interview, you should have already understood the actual situation."

"Mr. Reporter, what do you want to interview?"

Klein got stuck for a moment.He desperately searched his mind for the big and small news he had read in the newspapers recently, and within two seconds he pieced together an answer like this: "About the new poor law."

As soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to slap himself hard.It has been several months since the Poor Law was promulgated, so it is not the time to investigate the social impact!Seeing the puzzled eyes of the man next to him, Klein felt even more regretful.But the words were out of his mouth, so he had no choice but to pretend nothing happened, and continued to look at the other party with sincere eyes.

Miss Maria also seemed surprised by this answer.She was silent, opened her mouth, and closed it again. After thinking for two seconds, she said, "I see, it's okay. It's not convenient for interviews here. Come to my office and tell me."

Ha, it actually succeeded?Klein was dumbfounded in his heart, but his superficial reaction was not slow at all. He thanked him repeatedly, and followed him upstairs.Just around the corner, Klein suddenly felt spiritually touched, and glanced out of the small window—

He saw a strange but very familiar figure.

Although the opponent's skin has turned bronze, his ordinary round face has become sharp-edged, and his glasses have changed from round frames to gold-rimmed long frames, Klein still feels familiar with the spiritual intuition of a "Seer".

This figure stayed downstairs of the association for a few seconds, and left after a few simple interactions with the big black dog at the door.Seeing all this, Klein's body trembled, and he could hardly hold his pen and notebook.

----------

2 to 1 ritual: a massacre that makes people talk about it (with foreshadowing).At least 3 times, 9 times the best, and blood sacrifice an angel.

Edward's progress: 5/9, 1/1.

The 5 massacres that have been completed can still be accurately pointed to Edward Vaughn (history books) after more than 100 years, and there are still horror stories based on him in the border areas of various countries (children who don’t sleep at night will have demons to kill him) You capture (?) or die too many people everywhere haunted places), the ritual that Edward has done works really well.He can be promoted now, but only has a success rate of about 60%.And if he is promoted, it will definitely attract the intervention of Mother Tree, Fabuti and other righteous gods to stop him. There is no guarantee that Zhenzao will help him. The success rate of about [-]% cannot resist any risk, and may even fail.

That's why he didn't rush to be promoted, but continued to look for opportunities to perfect the ceremony.

And the most important thing: ↑The above are all for others to see. In fact, the decline can be melted as soon as the sequence is entered.
