Chapter 315
The Raging Sea, the sea area near Bansi Island
"The Hanged Man" Alger Wilson stood on the deck of the "Blue Avenger", silently looking into the distance.

The sea conditions tonight were surprisingly good and calm. Alger felt that walking on the deck was no different from walking on the ground.

He looked up at the night sky. The sky was cloudless, the stars were bright, the red moon was cold, there were no dark clouds, and there was no sign of the coming storm.

But he knew that dark clouds were gathering over Backlund, and disaster was about to come.

He didn't know if the "Hermit" could successfully stop the Witch Cult. All he could do was pray.

……

Tuesday noon
After responding to Emlyn White's prayer and allowing him to join the Tarot Society, Klein broke through Emlyn White's inner hints and obtained a part of the vampire's history told by him.

Then, he left his residence, took a carriage, went to the East End, went to the greasy coffee shop, and met old Kohler.

Klein paid Old Kohler a two-pound note in advance and reminded him that there might be risks in the East End, and asked him to call Liv's family and leave here temporarily.

"Are the workers going to riot?"

Old Kohler didn't know why, he didn't know why Detective Moriarty paid him two pounds to collect information, but now he let him leave the East End temporarily.

After the "Hermit" reminded him at the Tarot meeting yesterday, Klein already knew that the Witch Sect was about to release a plague in the Eastern District, but he couldn't say it clearly because of "0-08".

"Maybe, let's leave the East District first. It may not be safe here..."

"I understand, Mr. Moriarty, I will consider it." Old Kohler smiled honestly, "Yesterday when I was working, a gentleman told me that there are jobs with good salaries in the Jowood area. I will go there to take a look soon. look."

"Ok?"

Klein frowned slightly:
"Do you know that person? What does he look like?"

Old Kohler shook his head:
"I don't know him. He is of medium build, a little thin, and good-looking. Judging from his clothes, he should have a serious job..."

hermit...

The image of "The Hermit" appeared in Klein's mind.

Based on the changes in the image of "The Hermit" in the Tarot Society, Klein deduced that he had changed his appearance.

Above the gray fog, although Klein couldn't see the members' faces clearly, he could still see the general outline and appearance features, and he could also recognize the style.

"The Hermit" used to be a middle-aged wizard, but after a certain Tarot session, he became younger and gave people the impression of a newly graduated college student.

But how did he know the elder Kohler?

Klein frowned slightly, suddenly remembering that before the birth of the evil god Megoose, a strange Mechanical Heart team member came to the Blackthorn Security Company. He knew in advance that Megoose was pregnant with the heir of the "True Creator".

At that time, I didn't think much about him and just regarded him as a member of the Heart of Machinery, but now it seems that this is not the case...

Wait, Ince Zangwill seems to know him!
When Ince Zangwill appeared at Chanis Gate, he said hello to him, but he didn't hear what he said.

He must be a "hermit"...

Does the "hermit" know that I am the "fool"?

No, it's unlikely. I'm very cautious every time I enter the gray fog. It's probably a coincidence.

But it is very likely that "0-08" is secretly interfering...

Klein thought quickly. He knew that if he wanted to know the name of the Heart of the Machine team member, it would be very simple. He just needed to go back to Tingen and ask the captain, or go to the police station to check the files.

But the focus now is obviously not on the name of "The Hermit".

As a demigod, it is natural that "The Hermit" has many aliases and many different identities.

By the way, six months ago, before I came to this world, the Mechanical Heart prevented the Witch Cult's conspiracy in the Misty Village...

The "Hermit" must have been involved too!
Thinking of this, Klein breathed a sigh of relief: This meant that the "Hermit" was not targeting him when he came to Tingen, because he did not exist at all at the time.

The "hermit" is targeting a secret organization, a secret organization that wants the evil god to be born and create disasters!In this way, it is unlikely that "0-08" is secretly manipulating, unless "hermit" knows its existence.

But that would be too complicated and not very practical.

Klein could only make a judgment: "Glaxai Mir" and the members of the Heart of Machinery were all vests of "The Hermit".

"Mr. Moriarty, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Klein had been in a daze, Old Kohler asked cautiously.

Klein came back to his senses, opened his pocket watch and took a look. He quickly said goodbye to Old Kohler and walked towards the place where the taxis were gathered.

Before he went out, he had already predicted whether it was suitable to go to Red Rose Manor today.

The divination result was not beyond his expectation. The pendulum was still and did not move at all.

……

Chorwood District, Minsk Street 24

About an hour ago, Chris saw Klein passing by the window and leaving Minsk Street.

And now, he has already put on his clothes and is ready to leave.

Chris pushed the door open, got into a carriage, and drove towards Red Rose Manor.

The place he wants to go is also Red Rose Manor.

According to the original timeline, "Lady Despair" Panatia first appeared in the underground ruins, and then Mr. A used the ability of the "Recorder" to send her to the East District.

In this way, intercepting Pannadia in the underground ruins is the best choice.

If Panatia managed to reach the East District, it would be too difficult to find her.

To take a step back, even if we find her, if we don't have time and let her melt the plague into the haze, the disaster will happen and it will be of no avail.

Chris thought to himself that he might be able to help some when he arrived at Red Rose Manor.

But you have to be careful not to overexpose your own existence, not to be discovered by Ince Zangwill, let him use "0-08" to interrupt Azik's flight in the spirit world, let Klein and Azik Fall into the underground ruins.

Only in this way can Klein interrupt the birth ceremony of the "True Creator".

But I don't have this worry - I can enter the Star Island and teleport directly to the underground ruins.

While I was thinking, the carriage had already left Queens, driving on the tree-lined dirt road, and arrived in the suburbs.

The outline of Red Rose Manor has appeared in Chris's field of vision.

At the same time, "Justice" Audrey Hall was sitting in the study in a luxurious villa in Queens, where the carriage passed by not long ago, feeling restless.

"Audrey, you seem to be worried about something. Is it because of the teacher Esilante who is about to arrive?"

Susie, the big golden retriever dog, slowly walked up to Audrey and looked up at her.

His little master just "kicked" out his personal maid. Such a thing had almost never happened before.

"It's nothing."

Audrey reached out and touched Susie's furry head, forcing a smile while thinking in her mind.

Finally, after praying to the goddess of the night again, Audrey made up her mind, walked out of the study, and went straight to her mother's living room.

She took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
