"Alan. Bart, the bartender told me the name! ”

A flash of inspiration came to Xia Ren's mind.

Shopkeeper, and Father Ray. Natore has a good relationship, has been to bars together, and summoned monsters......

Father Ray. Natore has been with Thomas in the home of a suspected wizard. Miller Wright is missing, and the shopkeeper, who had a close relationship with the priest, has now been confirmed to have been killed, and traces of slime have been found in his home.

It's connected.

The seemingly unrelated disappearances and the aberration are connected!

The evidence in front of him was enough to prove that the content of the quarrel between the priest and the shopkeeper at the bar was the summoning of slime monsters, or something that could turn people into monsters.

But they didn't expect that they would be counterattacked, and now that the shopkeeper has become a monster, then the priest may not be spared.

"But something is wrong."

Xia Ren pondered.

Since the two were friends before their deaths, and even the bar owner knew that the priest and the shopkeeper had a good relationship, why didn't the police come to see the shopkeeper when the priest disappeared? So much so that I didn't realize the scene until I was attracted to the bottle?

The superintendent of the city of Ezeira is not so incompetent.

Then there is only one explanation: the Immortal Society.

They deliberately made the superintendent ignore the clue. But why do you have to ignore it?

The thought was stuck for a moment, and he couldn't continue to speculate, so Xia Ren decisively changed his thinking.

If the superintendent comes to Allen. What will happen to the Bart family?

First, some of the superintendents will be stunned by the stench, and then they will be eroded by the intense pollution in the house, and even if they are lucky enough not to go crazy, they will become in a trance.

After that, the logistics department will immediately notice this side and come to the scene to investigate, and then the arbitration court will take over the case and the area, and the Foundation will send investigators to ......

In other words, Immortal will deliberately let the superintendent ignore Allen. Barth's message was to hide their layout in the shadows.

However, according to this idea, then Xia Ren had to revisit the task that attracted him to Acera City.

If he hadn't come, the anomaly would never have been exposed so quickly, which means that, judging from the results, his arrival would have been a good thing for both the Foundation and the residents of Exera.

Could it be that the person who issued the task was actually well-intentioned?

But why didn't he or she tell the Foundation directly about the secrets of Ezeira City, or just tell himself?

Xia Ren shook his head, he really couldn't understand the intention of the person behind him.

There was one more thing he couldn't figure out, home Thomas. Why did Miller Wright go missing with them?

Now implicated in the disappearance of the three people, Father Ray. Nuttall and shopkeeper Alan Bart had a deep friendship so they were able to connect, but home Thomas Brown. Miller Wright was perverse, difficult to get along with, and was not treated well by his neighbors at all, and it is conceivable that he had few friends.

And according to Captain John of the Logistics Department, home Thomas. Miller Wright often declared himself an atheist and had great contempt for those who believed in the gods.

This and Father Ray. Natol, on the other hand, was religious to the gods he believed in, despite his penchant for studying the gods of other religions.

The two are opposite in their beliefs, and they have indeed had unpleasant encounters and have a very poor relationship.

But now the facts are home to Miller Wright and Father Ray. Natore disappeared together, and Captain John said that the day before they disappeared, the two of them were seen walking down the street together.

If the monster is summoned by Father Ray. Natole and shopkeeper Alan. Bart, then home Thomas. What role does Miller Wright play in this?

Why did he join in? What about the situation now? Is alive, or is it with Allen. Bart, like that, became an aberration?

"It's complicated."

Xia Ren rubbed his temples and felt his head swell a little.

He then searched the rest of the house and found no useful information, especially Alan Brown. He regretted that Bart did not have the habit of keeping a diary.

As he was about to leave the room, Natsuhito saw the door that he had kicked and broken against the door frame, and a black piece of paper was taped to the back of the door, exuding an aura that disgusted him.

The aura was faint, muffled by contamination, so he didn't even notice it when he first entered the door.

Xia Ren shook the door so that the paper was facing him, but when he saw the pattern on it, he couldn't help but be a little shocked.

On the black paper, a red eye was drawn, as if it had life, staring directly at himself.

The irregular five-pointed star pattern encloses the eyes, forming an incredibly familiar shape:

Old prints.

There are old seals here!

No wonder no pollution is perceptible from the outside.

But who laid down the old seal here?

Walking out of the store with Lily, Qin Yun and Lu Yi waited in the car, and Xia Ren told them what he found in the house, including old seals, and some conjectures.

Lu Yi looked flattered, but then her face became sad.

While it's good to be valued by her boss, it's hard to make her count more than ten fingers of addition and subtraction, let alone such a complex problem.

What Xia Ren said just now, she listened to it as a book from heaven, and she knew every word she said, but when it was put together, it became Balabala, and she couldn't remember it in her head at all.

After listening to this, Qin Yun first sorted out the logic by herself, then thought for a long time, and first asked a question: "Did you find something like a cross when you entered the house just now?" ”

Xia Ren shook his head and said, "No." ”

Qin Yun thought for a while before saying: "I remember the bartender said that in addition to opening a shop and doing business, the shopkeeper also likes to collect some antiques, and generally this kind of person will be happy to show others his collection, do you remember what the bartender said about the quarrel he had with the priest in the bar that night?" ”

Xia Ren said: "It seems to be Allen. Bart blames the priest for summoning the monster. ”

"Yes."

Qin Yun nodded: "After that, the priests blamed each other and said that it was all because of Allen. The damn thing Bart found. So ......"

"So?" Xia Ren quietly waited for her follow-up.

Qin Yun's eyes looked diagonally downward, and while sorting out the content in his mind, he said, "Home Thomas. Miller Wright's true identity is questionable, and Captain John has said that he may be a member of the Wizarding Alliance, so let him be a wizard. It is now known that the thing that summons the monster is the shop Allen. What Bart found is very likely to be one of his collections, since it can summon monsters, it means that the thing itself may be polluted, if it is a wizard, it can definitely be recognized at a glance. ”

"Wait."

Xia Ren said: "The premise of your reasoning is Allen. Bart is willing to give Thomas. Miller Wright looks at his collection, but how is that possible? ”

"Why can't it be?" Qin Yun asked rhetorically.

"Thomas. Miller Wright's personality is more perverse and unlikable, but Allen. Bart is a businessman, even if he hates someone, he won't say it directly, he still smiles on the surface, this kind of person is easier to make friends, and you just entered the house and didn't find anything in his house that represents faith.

Thunder. Although Natore was a priest, he liked to collect things from other religions, so people in the neighborhood didn't go to his church. If Bart is also a believer, then he will not be deviant in the eyes of everyone at all. Nutore became a close friend.

So Alan. Bart must have been a non-believer. ”

With the trait of the non-believer, he and the home Thomas. Miller Wright, there is no natural contradiction.
