Chapter 30

"You are not a reporter."

As soon as she walked into the office, Maria said directly to Klein: "You came to the East District in disguise like this to investigate something. I won't ask you, but you'd better get out and leave right now. The East Side of Time will not be safe, and you will lose your life."

"...Thank you for your advice."

Realizing that the other party had seen through his disguise, but chose to continue acting for his safety, Klein was a little moved, but he couldn't stop just now after seeing the traces of Lanerus.Now he can't wait to find a place to do divination on the gray mist, to confirm whether the person he saw just now is really Lanerus.

Seeing that the other party accepted her advice, instead of taking it seriously like other reckless and bold bounty hunters, Maria felt a little relieved. "Your prudence will allow you to achieve your goal." She comforted Klein, and added, "The East District is very chaotic, maybe we will have a chance to cooperate in the future. After that, you can go out through the back door."

"Thank you!"

Klein couldn't wait for it.After the two chatted in the office for a few minutes, he followed the other party's instructions and quietly left through the narrow back door.Lanwusi had long since disappeared, and he didn't stay any longer. He packed up his belongings and walked towards the station of the tram.

During this process, he caught sight of a somewhat familiar figure among the homeless people across the street—Ms. Hugh?Klein made an instant guess.

At this moment, a carriage suddenly stopped in front of him.

The carriage opened, revealing the face of an acquaintance. This was the great detective Isengard Stanton who was also investigating the case. The two met by chance in the East End.The other party seems to be still investigating the serial murder case, but it has not improved yet.After getting in the car and exchanging greetings, Klein got on the tram and didn't go home directly, but transferred to the Kragg Club in Hillston District.

In the lounge of the club, he quickly went above the gray fog to confirm that no one was following him.

It wasn't until this step that Klein completely relaxed, feeling the fear behind him. The breath of the "True Creator" lingered in his mind like a nightmare, making the clothes on his back dry and wet, wet and dry.

Klein manifested a piece of yellow-brown parchment and a dark red round-bellied pen in front of him, and then wrote down the divination statement he had considered long ago: "The source of the inexplicable familiarity before."

Putting down the pen, leaning back against the back of the chair, he fell into a dream while meditating.In that gray and illusory world, he saw a figure.

This figure has ordinary features, wears round-rimmed glasses, and always has a look down and a mocking smile. It is Lan Erwusi!
Finally found you!Klein no longer used the "clown" ability to control his expression, and gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.

Immediately, Klein sat up straight and responded to Miss Justice's prayer.He controlled his emotions, and said in a low and indifferent voice:
"No need to confirm, that's Lanwusi."

"You can inform the Church of the Evernight Goddess and tell them that Lanerus has the divinity of the 'Fallen Creator'."

Lightning streaked across the eternally dark night sky.

In the round tower of the City of Silver, two members of the "Council of Six", chief Colin Iliad and elder Lovia, were silently confronting each other.

Colin sat obliquely at the table, staring at the back of his hands without saying a word.Lovia was also silent, slowly stroking the skull in her arms with her fingers.This suffocating atmosphere has lasted for a long time, only the anointing candles on the table were quietly burning and flowing, and the lightning and thunder brought some noises.

"...Tell me again what you felt that day." After a long while, the witcher spoke hoarsely.

Lovia's expression was still calm: "More than 20 cycles ago, I heard the Lord's roar, and then there was extreme silence, and it seemed that I finally found the peace of relying on. Chief, the Lord has come."

"This is just your one-sided opinion. Silver City doesn't have the capital to bet and gamble." The seasoned demigod was unmoved, he knew that the "lord" in the other party's mouth and the omniscient and omnipotent Lord that Silver City has believed in for more than 2000 years have something to do with each other. There are many differences. The omniscient and omnipotent Lord has never shown a dirty and dark side, nor has he tortured His believers with uninterrupted ravings.Therefore, even though Lovia hinted and verified to herself many times, Colin Iliad still maintained a cautious and skeptical attitude, trying to distinguish whether the other party was crazy or really felt something.

It would be great if it was as she said... Colin still looked forward uncontrollably.But he bears the lives of the whole city on his back, and he cannot take risks because of the other party's few words. Caution and forbearance are the qualities that a chief should have.

This time the conversation ended in failure again, and Lovia did not feel frustrated.She is also a member of the City of Silver, so she is naturally responsible for her compatriots.The chief's resolute and tough attitude reassured her, but at the same time, she felt a little helpless because she couldn't produce more evidence.

None of them spoke, and walked out of the Round Tower side by side.The two will separate at the first fork and return to their residences.

At the corner of the fork in the street, there is an ambulance station opened by two pharmacists, which specializes in simple treatment and physical examination for people who have just completed missions or returned from patrols.Since it is only a preliminary treatment, other people in the city can also come to prescribe medicine and check in their daily life.

At this time, there was a queue in front of the ambulance station, about ten people were waiting for treatment, and half of them were holding weapons. It seemed that they had just finished their mission.The first in line to be checked seemed to be a couple. The husband stood by and couldn't hide his joy, and the wife stroked her stomach with her hands.

Obviously, this is a young couple who are about to become parents—in the City of Silver, a new birth is the most joyous thing besides the festival.Sure enough, under the affirmation of the pharmacist's smile, the people in the queue behind spontaneously applauded and blessed them.The two kept thanking each other, and then the husband helped his wife to leave, whispering intimately on the road, passing not far in front of Colin and Lovia.They didn't notice the chief and elders, and it seemed that their minds were already filled with joy.

"I just said, I must be pregnant!"

The young lady excitedly said to her husband: "Didn't I tell you? I had a dream 21 cycles ago. I dreamed that a giant silver-white snake crawling under the golden cross covered itself with its wings. I spoke to the Lord. I prayed devoutly, and the giant snake glanced at me with beautiful ruby ​​eyes... Ah, this child must be the messenger sent by the Lord! The Lord has not forgotten His devout believers, and sent the messenger to save us!"

The husband was noncommittal about this dream, but he obviously didn't want to spoil his wife's interest, and continued to follow her words: "Yes, we must pray harder, and one day we will be saved... During this time, I don't want to The shift is on vacation, I want to participate in a few more patrol missions, accumulate meritorious deeds to hunt monsters, and prepare more food and meat for you and your children..."

"It's too early! I can continue to patrol and hunt, and we can prepare delicious food for the children together..."

The two walked away talking and laughing. Behind them, Lovia and Colin stood motionless like stone statues.

Both looked at the back of the couple with almost greedy eyes, wanting to hear a few more words from them about the dream.

"Chief..." Lovia was the first to break the silence. She wanted to say something, but Colin raised her hand to stop her.

"No need to say much, let's wait and see what happens." The eyes of the aged witcher shone slightly, as if he had regained some hope at this moment.

He turned around, glanced reluctantly, then glanced at the backs of the couple who were getting further and further away, and finally walked towards his quiet home.

Eight o'clock, dinner time.I sat in the best restaurant I could find in the East District, ordered a creamy mushroom soup, a vegetable salad, and a lamb stew, and began to enjoy a leisurely and quiet meal time.

The taste is ok.Let's eat at the club next time.

The investigation task is very boring, and it is too unnecessary for the dignified angel to condescend to find a fraudster.Based on the above, I decided to fish for it.

The servants really like hunting games. I rummaged through the collection cabinets, and finally the ones released to help were members of the Andrérad family.Only Sequence 5, he seems to be a guy who was afraid of being killed by me, so he betrayed the hiding places of other clansmen.The sequence is not high, but the brain is very flexible, treacherous and cunning, so I chose him to help me run errands.

For this kind of thing, you only need to take a spiritual blood sample and run around the Eastern District while sensing. Individuals contaminated by Lanerus' blood will be more sensitive to the blood of their allies, and will behave out of control and even die insane. Very simple, without any technical content.

It seems that another round of investigation is over, and he came to the cafe where I rested, with scarlet in his eyes and a joyful smile on his face.It seems that he really enjoyed this boring killing game.I took the note from him and glanced at it briefly.

Lanwusi is very cautious.When I went out, the total number of polluted people was about 350 people, and now it has completed one third of the way.

Killing hundreds of people in broad daylight without attracting the attention of others in a short period of time is not an easy task, even for a demon.And, judging from the text message my ally sent me just now, the other party has already noticed my activities and is doing more pollution as quickly as possible.It really adds to the workload.

"Are you really killing people on my orders?"

The soul is in my hands, of course I know that he can't disobey my order, but I still asked casually: "I mean, you didn't kill people who were not polluted out of boredom for fun, or kill them and throw them away Spread terror where people will pass by, and cause me trouble?"

"Absolutely, absolutely nothing! Your Highness!" Andrerad's smile froze on his face, and he lowered his head hastily.If he hadn't been in the cafe now, he would probably have knelt down and swore loyalty to me.

I interrupted his possible endless apology and panic: "I see, has something happened?"

Andrerad paused, began to think about it, and then shook his head honestly: "No."

"However, when I passed by the small church of the Evernight Church in the East District, I happened to see a man wearing red gloves talking to a priest."

The Church of Evernight is taking action, and is there someone they are looking for in the Eastern District?I didn't count myself among them. If they were planning to trouble me, then the one who came to investigate had to be the archbishop of Backlund at least.If it's just red gloves... The pendant of 0-08 is indeed from the Church of Evernight... The ones who suffered the most damage in the Descending of Gods are indeed the Parish of the Night and the Nighthawks... Lanerus helped... It can't be such a coincidence, Lan Arvus was found by them?How did they do it?Who provided the key information to help them locate?

The taste of this mushroom bisque is not bad.

If I'm really looking for Lanwusi, then I have to call my ally and ask him, "The night seems to have intervened, do you want that piece of meat?" If he wants it, I can get it too So, that is to go to the Church of Evernight to snatch Lanwusi, but if the level involved is too high, the servant of God, Arianna, may be attracted. At that time...

But what does that have to do with me?I sliced ​​the white bread comfortably, and put the stewed lamb in it under the surprised eyes of other diners.

Whether the allies want that piece of meat or not, there will be plenty to watch tonight. ——This is an interesting pastime for bored demons.
