Chapter 59

On Sunday morning, after Klein woke up, he found several places circled on the Backlund map on the coffee table in the living room, and they were not too far apart.Presumably this is the clue left by Sharon, the preparation site for the upcoming battle.So, according to the prompts, he spent the whole morning carefully familiarizing himself with the surrounding environment, figuring out the specific buildings and where the nearest church is.

In the afternoon, when he became free again, he went to the Kragg Club again. As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw the recently unlucky surgeon Alan Kress slowly coming out of the cafeteria with a cane.

"Alan, how are you doing recently? Has your fortune improved?"

"At least I'm not so unlucky!" Allen, who was naturally indifferent, showed a sincere smile, "I went to the church as you suggested, and told the bishop about it. I fell asleep while praying. But I seem to feel that the goddess has given me a state of peace and tranquility, and since then, my fortune has been normal! Praise the goddess!"

He drew a crimson moon on his chest.

According to my experience, it should be a certain Sequence 7 "Nightmare" who put you into a deep sleep, and then the nighthawks who are good at rituals quickly set up the altar, prayed to the goddess, and neutralized your bad luck... Klein turned up The corner of his mouth said: "This is really great!"

At this time, Allen glanced at him and said, "Sherlock, I always felt that your belief in the god of steam and machinery was not devout enough, why didn't you change your belief? You see, here is my example, believe in the goddess! "

This, isn't this embarrassing me?Hearing Alan's request, Klein almost drew a crimson moon on his chest, but in the end he resisted the urge and responded very seriously:

"Perhaps some of my performances have misunderstood you."

"But I have to tell you that faith is something that is once decided and never changed."

Allen immediately raised his arms and made an apologetic gesture: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood your piety, I shouldn't make fun of your beliefs."

"Okay, differences in beliefs don't prevent us from being friends."

Klein put away the expression he had just pretended, and said with a smile:

"This sentence is not valid in Fusac and Fenepot. They can only accept one kind of belief."

At this moment, Klein saw another person slowly walking out of the restaurant.The other party's hair seemed to grow a little longer, and the ends of the dark brown hair had touched his shoulders.An angel should be able to control his own body, yet he still allows his hair to grow freely?

His lips seemed to be moving slightly, as if talking to himself.

Klein greeted: "Mr. Edward."

Edward turned his head after hearing the words, with a smile on his face.Dr. Allen was not familiar with him, but they were members of the same club, and they had met several times, so they nodded to each other to express their goodwill.

Thinking that he still had something he was curious about, and it wasn't a secret, Klein directly changed the subject pretending to be casual: "Did you meet Will Auceptin later? The one whose leg was sawn off, said you A child whose luck will change."

Edward didn't join their conversation. From Klein's point of view, it was because High Sequence wasn't interested in such ordinary and extraordinary events.

"No, I haven't seen him since he was discharged from the hospital." Allen shook his head affirmatively, feeling a chill for no reason.

Edward glanced at him silently, then looked away again.

What a pity, the Nighthawks can find it according to the registered address of the hospital, but I can't rashly intervene... Of course, that child may have moved away long ago... But it has nothing to do with me... Klein chatted with Allen After a few words, the other party resigned first because of something.Only then did Edward turn his head (he had been staring at the corner in a daze just now), and asked curiously: "Did something happen to Mr. Chris?"

"After Mr. Allen performed an operation on a child, his luck became strangely bad." Klein briefly summarized the cause of the incident and the results, and also tried to obtain some high-sequence reasoning from his fellow seniors, "I suggest He goes to the church of the Goddess to pray."

Edward nodded, and said to him with a pleasant face: "This is the most orthodox and simplest way to deal with it. His luck may be affected, and it may have nothing to do with that child. The probability is that he was negatively affected by the Extraordinary items of the Fate Path. After all, it is normal for children to have higher inspiration, just because that sentence produced some psychological hints."

Klein thought it made sense and put it behind him.

At this time, two acquaintances entered the door. One was Mrs. Mary, a member of the Kingdom Air Pollution Investigation Committee and a shareholder of Coim Company, and the other was Klein's landlord, Mrs. Summer.They all wore relatively light skirts, which made them look a lot younger.

They saw Edward from a distance, and also saw Mr. Sherlock, the great detective who had a good chat with Edward.

As if Edward hadn't seen the two ladies, he passed by them without turning their eyes.Mrs. Mary, who hastily covered her face with a feather fan and was about to talk, hesitated to speak, and was embarrassed by the simple and rude ignorance of the other party, so she hurriedly dragged Mrs. Summer into the hall.Klein smiled and went to say hello to them.

"It's the Mercury Serpent," said the Decayed King. "Will."

"I know, he won't change his name. This name is an important part of his humanity. When it appears with luck, it's probably because of him." No one saw, Edward Vaughan just left the club , the smile on his face disappeared without a trace, and turned into a chilling indifference.He was muttering words, as if he was talking to someone, standing on the street, like a rock separating the flow of people.

"Really surprising intelligence."

"Will ran away so easily, it seems that Ulorius is not worried now."

"The real creator hasn't taken the initiative to communicate with me recently." Edward looked for the back of Alan Kress in the crowd, but he had been away for a while and disappeared long ago.

It is daytime now, it is too strange for him to take the initiative to go to the other party's clinic to find someone, not to mention that it is still uncertain what role this person will play in Will Auceptin's reboot: "I didn't take the Medici matter Tell him. He has been mentally abnormal recently, and the pollution is gradually eroding his memory and consciousness. Heh, he also discovered it, but he blamed it on misfortune and misfortune, which is also the conclusion after his judgment has been affected."

"Let's do this first. After his judgment ability is weakened to a certain extent, I will actively exert influence."

The tone of the declining king is still as flat as stagnant water, and only some specific things can cheer him up a little: "It's almost time to do something, I went to the East District recently to have a look, the decline of the human race is coming soon. Arrived."

"A natural disaster or a man-made disaster?"

"Man-made disaster."

"Ha." Edward couldn't help laughing, "Devils have never been a race that enjoys cannibalism, but humans are different..."

Before he finished speaking, an oncoming person in the inaccessible alley suddenly bumped into him with great force.But Edward didn't move, instead he was bumped and staggered. Edward touched his pocket and found that the wallet was missing. Run deep.

"...Where are you going, sacrifice?"

Edward stood still and said to his back: "You sold your life to me, and your internal organs will be used for divination."

…………

A moment later, Edward came to a townhouse in the eastern city of Backlund according to the result of divination.People who come and go around are generally neatly dressed, equipped with top hats and walking sticks.The occasional lady or two were also wearing expensive dresses and jewelry made of precious stones.Obviously, this should be a residential street for the middle class.

After a preliminary survey of the surrounding environment and geography, Edward put on a smile again and asked the nearby residents where the Auceptin family lived.He looks gentle and noble, and his elegant words and deeds can always easily make people like him. After only ten minutes of investigation, he has collected all the current impressions of the neighbors on Auceptin's house.

There are four members of the Auceptin family, the Auceptin couple who are in business, and two children, one big and one small.

The eldest son has reached the age where he can help his parents to start a business together, while the younger son does not go to school because of his frailty and stays at home all the time.After the birth of their youngest son, the business of Auceptin and his wife became better and better, and their life was no longer tight.Therefore, he took care of his poor young son as a lucky star, met all his requirements, and invited a tutor to teach him.

But for some reason, the youngest son developed a strange tumor on his leg, and had to undergo surgery to amputate his leg, which was finally cured after spending a lot of money.The Auceptins also made enough money, and the family of four hurriedly moved to a better urban area.

10 minutes to investigate, and two hours to listen to the parents.When Edward finally dismissed these enthusiastic neighbors, it was dark.

"Do you want to catch up and take a look?" Edward said to himself, "Will Auceptin will definitely not be unresponsive, and there will be no gains."

"He will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Whether you go or not is a part of today's destiny. We just wait for his next move." The Declining King replied, "His illness is cured, which should represent his successful escape. The pursuit of Ulorius. So it is unknown whether it will continue to hide with the current identity, or it will find another family to restart.”

"Anyway, the path of destiny should not be able to become a true god before the end, waiting for that "opportunity" is enough to grind them to death.Not to mention that there are rings of destiny outside and many gods staring at their source quality, the battle between Ouroreus and Will is not a concern. "

"Um."

"Take care of Dr. Allen." Edward thought, "I remember that he has a wife and children, and he is still young."

In the East District, in the principal’s room of the Ernst Charity School, Maria was flipping through the files she had sorted out in the past few days in the evening sunlight. On it were the names of teenagers and girls, most of whom were under 20 years old. The main crowd where time is missing.

There are more and more people.

Cappin, enraged by the huge loss, began arresting people on the East Side with no scruples.The range of targets expanded, almost indiscriminate revenge. During this time, even the homeless dared not walk on the road alone.

Be patient, Maria, be patient, and you will save them.

After cheating with Mr. Z, the Pilgrim Sect received a share of 6500 pounds. This is a huge sum of money. This year, the leader may not need to allocate funds, and the Eastern District can also carry out renovation and expansion of facilities.

Considering that there will be more cooperation in the future, Mr. Z originally wanted to give a little more, but for some reason (the best employee appraisal of the Aurora Society), he tearfully accepted 3500 pounds of funds and a huge meritorious service worth [-] pounds.It is said that Mr. Z laughed so hard that his mouth cracked to the base of his ears, and a serious civil war broke out in the Aurora Society on the night of his return.

In this regard, Maria can only say: Thank you, Mr. A, for worrying about being detained for meritorious service, he did not choose the battlefield in his workhouse.

And: I hope Mr. Z is okay.

Of course, Mr. Z is fine. A lump of meat is still a lump of flesh after being kneaded into plasticine and then squeezed back into a human shape.Not only was he fine, but he happily sent a letter of thanks after returning to the Aurora Society, which also included the price list of Backlund's private detective requested by Maria. — Maria still decided to ask the detective for help.Because private investigators are better at hiding, disguising and investigating than themselves, they are pervasive, and they are not familiar faces of Capin.Can be competent for simple investigations, provided they have the ability to get close to Capin's home.

Maria needs a rough floor plan of the building.Don't expect to find hidden passages, but interior rooms, corridors, and access to the basement are a must, as are vents and sewers.

This matter can't be dragged on like this any longer, she plans to sneak in alone, summon the angel of the abyss inside, and then wait for the opportunity to leave with the abducted children.Some risk, but no choice.

Isengard Stanton... Suspected to be a mid-sequence Extraordinary, suspected to hold more than one Extraordinary item, and made great contributions to the investigation of the previous demon case... He is a very good choice!But it's too expensive...

Detective Stuart, Detective Kaslana... also contributed to the case, the price is very affordable, but they seem to be ordinary people who know nothing about the extraordinary world... Capin has the support of nobles behind him, Maria sighed. She didn't even know how many Extraordinary people were hidden in the house. Of course, it was impossible to drag ordinary people into the water.

Detective Sherlock Moriarty... is also a person who participated in the investigation of the case. He has a certain reputation in Backlund's detective circle. There is too little intelligence information, so he is not sure if he is a Extraordinary, but the price is very suitable, and he has received AI Strong guarantee from Singer Stanton...

Maria quickly read the list, delineated a few goals from the two aspects of combat effectiveness and economic ability, and decided to visit tomorrow.
