Chapter 19: The Touch of Darkness (1)
In the middle of the night, as a muffled thunder rolled by, heavy rain poured down.
The church of Bethesda on the hillside stood alone in the rain, with the occasional flicker of light in the darkness, the figure of the night watchman.
It was pitch black all around, except for the white stone road in front of the church that turned into a striking ribbon that stretched into endless darkness.
"Hell, it's raining so hard, and you have to lie on the roof, and the officials are crazy!"
The whistle on the roof was cursing in secret.
The nosy Stefan Street Arrest Team is completely finished, and besides, this is not a conspicuous place, who would be stupid enough to come here to investigate?
He was grumbling when suddenly, there were lights dancing in the distance.
He rubbed his eyes, yes, it was the light, there were three o'clock in total, three people holding stone lanterns, riding three horses, along the white stone road in the torrential rain.
"Someone's coming, three on horseback!"
The three horses approached quickly, slowing down at a distance of 100 meters from the church, and slowly approached.
Lubik, who was nervously observing from the small window, breathed a sigh of relief. Not like the enemy.
The raid of the arrest team the other day caused a great shock to everyone.
The Stefan Street Arrest Team is only a second-rate team, except for Vanessa and the new Fernandez. But it was this team that almost ruined the plan to establish a holy kingdom on earth.
New equipment, new tactics, if it weren't for Dean Trisson and Bishop Magnum coming over and taking advantage of the situation, the result would be unpredictable.
The arrest team failed.
It's over, but Lubik has become cautious and suspicious. According to the above requirements, come here for a meeting tonight, he actually doesn't want to come, the dust has not yet settled, everyone is gathered in one place, what if someone serves it?
Church priest Norris noticed his anomaly and asked, "Mr. Lubik, what's the matter, the tax inspector is here?"
One sentence made Lubik laugh: "I hope not, that group of people, insatiable!"
"I know what happened a few days ago, you were caught off guard and suffered a small loss, and now everyone is nervous, and they won't give the old school another chance. The defenses here are so strong that not a single rat can slip in. Norris walked to the window and looked, "Dismounted, my men went up to investigate, it doesn't look like a troublemaker, like a passerby coming to take shelter from the rain." β
"Be careful. Doing things under the nose of the enemy is a catastrophe if you are not careful. It's impossible to be lucky all the time. I'm not afraid of a strong attack, it's very quick to destroy evidence, and I'm afraid of exposing it. When the time comes, ten Magnum will not be able to hold it down. β
Norris was a little displeased: "The meeting has ended, do you want to go back first?" β
"It's an eventful time, it's better to be careful," Lubik looked at the rainstorm outside and smiled wryly, "How about arranging a car for me?"
Norris sneered: "The more money you make, the less daring you are!"
At this time, one of his subordinates hurriedly walked over: "Two adults, Bishop Magnum is at the door, saying that there is an emergency. β
The two were stunned: "How is it possible!"
Lubik sneered: "It must be a fake! What is the identity of Bishop Magnum, how could he come here in the middle of the night in the heavy rain?"
"Don't worry, if it's a fake, it's just a good time to touch the melons and catch all the ill-intentioned people!"
The two were not in a hurry to meet the guests, and one drank another cup of coffee before swallowing slowly.
In the hall, Magnum and his two attendants were already pale, half rained, half angry.
Lubik and Norris laughed secretly in their stomachs, these three guys were really pretending to be like that, especially the pure light element fluctuations, exactly like the Templars.
I saw the two of them coming. The two attendants got up and saluted, Magnan sat still, and snorted coldly: "Why is it so late?"
Norris smiled and said: "My lord is angry, the two of us went to see the progress of the experiment, I didn't know that you were here, you missed the distance, forgive your sins." β
"How's your experiment?"
The two glanced at each other, and said in their hearts, "This fake still thinks of himself as the real thing?
Lubik shook his head and said: "It's not going well, there are a lot of key materials missing, if you don't increase the investment, I'm afraid it will be protracted." β
"Yes, yes," Norris also looked concerned, "no matter how high the level of alchemist is, he can't conjure materials from the flat ground......"
Pound!
Magnum slapped the table fiercely: "What nonsense! Are you two heads soaked in the rain? Yesterday I just passed the remark, saying that it was going well, and today we have changed the tone, isn't this nonsense?"
Lubik and Norris were taken aback and looked at each other.
Yesterday's call was via telematics, and only Magnum, Lubik, and him were communicating from start to finish. Even the entourage did not enter the house. If this Magnum was disguised, how could he possibly know the details of the conversation? Could this guy be the real Magnum?
The two quietly glanced at each other and decided to test it again.
Rubik said, "My lord, I won't tell you anything. The Port Dolandesnell branch unexpectedly got some novelty gadgets, and we couldn't help but be careful. β
"Port Dolandesnell?"
"Slime-related things, such as slime patches that can be perfectly attached to the face and throat to change their appearance and voice. β
Magnum was furious: "Do you want to come up and take a look?"
Norris said, "Ah, no, no, we didn't mean that. Now is an eventful season, the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us is huge, and it is already an unexpected joy to be able to successfully kill that arrest team, and I really can't afford to toss again. Please go this way. β
Magnum's anger subsided slightly, and he left his men where they were, and followed Norris and Lubik towards the underground testing grounds.
"Actually, even if you have a slime sticker, you are not afraid," Norris said as he walked, "The mana fluctuation characteristics of our people have been recorded, and the secretary group has provided us with new equipment - the fluctuation signature detection array, as long as we go inside, we can distinguish the authenticity from the false." β
"It seems that you won't give up if you don't have a good toss today, forget it, let's play with you. Inspect the new rags of the secretary group too!"
Lubik hurriedly said: "My lord is really broad-minded!"
"Hmph, there's a limit to my patience. β
As soon as he entered the door, a huge blue magic circle was spread on the ground, and Magnum walked up proudly: "Hurry up!"
The blue aura swept him from head to toe twice, and the circle was silent.
Norris broke out in a cold sweat, could this guy really be Magnum himself?
"No, this guy must be fake!"
"What about the evidence?"
"Intuition!"
"My gut feeling is that Magnum will not be long after he has taken refuge with us, and he will continue to be so suspiciousβ"
"There's another way!"
Norris touched his forehead with his hand: "My patience is almost at the end of my life. β
"One last time, try one last time! One person can't be in two places at the same time! Contact Magnum with a one-line video array! If you get through...... This must be a fake!"
"Well, you go and look it up. β
At this time, Magnum stepped out of the detection circle, saw Lubik's back at a glance, and asked, "Why is he going?"
"Urgency. β
"Hmph, sneaky, I don't know what the secretary group thinks, but he actually got involved with these profiteers who are forgetful of profit, is there a lack of these money?"
What else could Norris say at this point?
After a while, Rubic slipped back.
One look at his grizzled look Norris knew that he had failed again. He lost his face: "Safe?"
"Basically......"
"What do you mean basically?"
"Uh, the communication didn't work. Can't be entirely determinedβ"
"That's enough!" Norris finally couldn't help himself, and shouted angrily, "I think there's something wrong with you! The carriage is ready, when are you leaving?"
Lubik sneered: "Listen, listen to what the adults have to do, listen and leave." β
Magnum sneered: "Mr. Lubik is quite wary of his own people, but he is too insensitive to intelligence gathering, you see what this is." β
