Chapter 200: Wellington's Departure, The Ramirez Family
And after Wellington entered the church gate, Chris, who was surrounded by his teammates, slowly returned to normal.
"Hoo ......"
Chris gasped loudly, the fine particles on his skin had faded away, and the potion's tendency to get out of control had stopped.
Bonnie pulled a pink handkerchief out of her pocket to wipe a lot of sweat off Chris's head, while Bert supported him.
"Let's go back and talk about it!" James said hurriedly, looking at the strange eyes of the passers-by around him.
So Chris and the others took a carriage back to 41 Pruka Street.
After returning home, although Chris's spiritual body was still a little unstable, the anomaly that appeared after the loss of control had disappeared, and it seemed that the potion had stabilized.
"Why did the hell suddenly get out of control?" Bonnie asked worriedly, looking at Chris, who was still a little weak.
"Maybe it's because I've been too tired lately. James said, "Because the potions we have in our bodies, when we are subjected to severe trauma, prolonged fatigue, great anger and other emotional fluctuations, it will cause the potion in our body to be unstable and we risk losing control of our own spirituality." ”
For James, who has been a member of the "Punisher" for more than ten years, he has seen too many team members get out of control for various reasons, most of which are the reasons he just mentioned. Some of them gradually returned to normal, but the more potions got out of control, it was irreversible.
Except for Bert and Bonnie, the rest of the team have all seen the Extraordinary get out of control at some point.
Chris has seen the Extraordinary get out of control twice, once when Bonnie's "serial killer" Pol, who kidnapped Bonnie and turned into a flame monster because of the dying of his life.
Once he went to the City Lord's Mansion with Wardhouse to hunt down the witch Shirley, and in her room, he saw a monster that had gone crazy and was full of poisonous snakes.
"Or maybe there was some kind of stimulus all of a sudden, Chris, what did he tell you when you were alone in the corps' office?" asked Elton.
Chris leaned back on the sofa, his somewhat pale face gradually regaining his complexion, looked at his teammates who cared about him, and said:
"It's nothing, it's just talking about some follow-up things about the last time I went to the City Lord's Mansion with the general team. ”
Because he didn't know what Wardhouse thought and what he would follow, Chris didn't go into detail about Sally.
Captain James released his spirituality, and after perceiving that Chris was not in a problem at the moment, he looked at Chris and said:
"Then let's do it, you can relax and rest at home for the past few days, and you don't need to go to the police station, and then come to the police station to work after the potions and spirits in your body are completely stable and there is no abnormality. ”
Chris nodded, obeyed the captain's arrangement, and then asked in a low voice:
"Boss, the salary ......"
James knocked on Chris's head angrily and smiled:
"Rest assured, the weekly salary will still be paid on time. ”
After seeing that Chris seemed to be fine, everyone continued to go about their business.
Because it's the weekend, Bert and Bonnie will go to the police station together to learn how to use a revolver from Officer Andre, after all, this is a necessary skill for a police officer, and this is the second time that Chris has missed school in three classes.
And the bored Wayne takes Elton and Paul back to the "Black Cat Office" to see if he can get some commissions.
In fact, he saw that he had earned a lot of money from the last commission, so Wayne, who was in charge of finances, was very concerned about the side business of their extraordinary team.
Before leaving, Wayne also took a special look at Chris, because she found that the two times Chris was there, their office had actually received commissions.
Whether it was the Antina Nightmare case that triggered the Black Feather case or the Rose Perfume case that triggered the witch Shirley, it seemed that Chris was in the office at the time.
And the few days after Wayne went alone by himself were really a lot of people.
Thinking about Chris's previous talent in guessing dice, Wayne couldn't help but wonder if this kid had been kissed by Lady Luck and had the ability to "good luck"?
Immediately, Elton saw that Wayne threw a disgusted white eye at him.
Jeffrey, who had been silent, returned to his bedroom and continued to make the "Sleep Charm" and "Awakening Charm". An extraordinary person like him in Sequence 8 can only make one at most in an hour to make such an extremely spiritually draining transcendent spell.
Although Sunday was a day off for the "chastiners," James took Paul to the streets of the neighborhood to see if he could gather any information about the extraordinary.
Usually, most of their cases are screened and submitted by the police department, but there are many extraordinary cases that cannot be detected by ordinary police officers alone, so they also need to investigate and collect them personally, which was also done by Paul before.
After watching his teammates leave, Chris went to the storage room outside the door on the first floor alone, turned on the steam engine and centrifuge, and made the antivenom that Barnard needed for the next week.
Although Chris would love to hand over this technology to Barnard Pharmaceuticals and only need to get his dividends on time, none of the centrifuges on the market currently meet the requirements, and Barnard can't afford to hire an Arcanist.
Meanwhile, on the second floor of the backyard of the Church of the God of Machines and Wisdom, in the office of Archbishop Abraham Harris.
Wellington was sitting across from Abraham, and he had just given a general account of Sally, in the same way as he had given to Archbishop Craigie.
After all, this is about the "Gate of Hades", about the tragedy of twelve years ago, and Wellington can't be careless.
Abraham, who was still wearing a simple robe, looked at the handsome city lord in front of him and smiled:
"Since Sally is most likely a 'Calamity Witch', your people will certainly not be able to spy on her, and it will arouse her suspicions. So I'll leave her to me and Craigie, and we'll stop her if she makes a move. ”
Wellington, who received the promise of Archbishop Abraham, was relieved, although his relationship with the Church of the Gods of Machines and Wisdom was not as close as that of the Church of the Constant Light and the Sun, but the "Gates of Hades" were their common enemy after all.
After reporting this important matter, Wellington looked at Abraham with some embarrassment and asked:
"Mr. Longman, I wonder what you know about 'gamblers'?"
Originally, Wellington didn't want to ask Abraham about this, but Zach found out a limited amount of things in the past few days, he had entrusted Archbishop Craigie before, and even held a gambling tournament so that the "Sun Priest" Gabriel stayed in the three major casinos for three consecutive days to supervise, but he did not meet any "gamblers".
The information of those winners was also found out, either the official extraordinary, or a few wild extraordinary, which Wellington did not care about.
As a last resort, Wellington, who no longer had any clues about the 'gambler', asked Archbishop Abraham about it.
Abraham reached out and touched his white beard, and the old man's blue eyes shone with wisdom...... And a hint of a "bad smile", said:
"You're doing it for you and Sophia's second son, Harry. Alas, Sophia still came to see me with him in her arms, and the baby was very spiritual. Since you want to find him so much now, I'll give you a clue. ”
After hearing Abraham's words, Wellington ignored the nobleman's demeanor, his face showed surprise, and hurriedly asked:
"Do you know where he is now?"
Abraham shook his head and smiled mysteriously:
"That's what I can say to you about 'gamblers'...... They never stepped into the world of the Extraordinary by taking potions. Only the children of the 'gamblers' can become 'gamblers', and the children of the 'gamblers' will inevitably be 'gamblers'. ”
Wellington, who heard this for the first time, looked at Abraham in shock, his blue eyes flashing in disbelief before turning into surprise.
Unable to digest the paradox of the extraordinary, Wellington only cared about the core of the question, asking:
"So, if I want to find him, I need to find Sophia's father?"
Abraham stood up, put the books in his hands back on a row of shelves, and said:
"But there's a good chance that Sophia's father won't see you, after all, something like that happened. So whether you can ask him for help next depends on your luck. ”
Wellington stood up thoughtfully, thanked Abraham respectfully and said goodbye, and hurried out of the Church of the God of Machines and Intelligence.
He had to make a trip to Atlantus, the capital of the Republic of Ireland, the city where he and Sophia had met.
There is Sophia's family, the well-known Ramirez family.
Thinking that an entire family of people could be extraordinary, Wellington couldn't help but touch his heart.
What's more, he not only abducted Sophia back then, but was busy with her father getting married. It was even more inexplicable that she died twelve years ago, and Wellington felt that his father-in-law, who had only met twice, should not be disgusted with him.
But for the sake of himself and Sophia's children, for a glimmer of hope, Wellington still wants the latter to have a cheeky try.
I didn't know it before, but now that I know that Harry is still alive and in Federenburg, then I have to find a way to find him, which is not much that Sophia can do.
After preparing the convoy in Wellington and arranging the affairs of Federenburg, he went to Atlantus, which was far away, under the escort of a dozen soldiers.
On the other side, after making the antivenom, Chris returned to his bedroom.
As for his sudden loss of control this morning, although captain James said he might have been tired these days, Chris knew that it didn't seem to be the case.
