Chapter 101: The Rules for the Keeper of the Know
After disposing of Moreira's body, Abner returned to the safe house, eating the food Hugh had brought with him while sharing with her the information they had received since their separation today.
"After I handed over those gangsters to the police, I revealed the identity of MI9, so I was not troubled." Hugh gave the "golden mask" man an answer at noon and became a subordinate agent of MI9, but he didn't expect to use this identity in the afternoon.
"Those thugs didn't talk nonsense, did they?" Abner asked, smearing a spoonful of jam on the bread.
Hugh shook his head and said, "Those thugs are very experienced in dealing with the police, and they know what to say and what not to say. And they also saw that I seemed to have something to do with the police department, so they only put the responsibility for the kidnapping of civilians on the man named Moreira, but did not say anything about our capture of Moreira. ”
"Hehe, sure enough, they are all 'experienced'...... However, it should also have something to do with the fact that Moreira is not the same kind of person as them. Abner laughed.
"Not one of the kind?" Hugh repeated it with some confusion, and then suddenly, "You mean...... Looks? ”
"Yes, they should all be members of the East Bailang Restoration Congress, and almost all of them in this organization are from the Southern Continent. However, although Moreira is also a half-race, her appearance and characteristics are biased towards Rune, which is why she was chosen as the manager of the company in front of the stage, and was given the 'lawyer' potion by the Eternal Life Society. Because of his good looks, it is easy to deal with the Rune. Abner explained as he picked up the bacon with the bread.
"East Bailang Restoration Congress? Eternal Life? What is that? Isn't this service company controlled by the Black Skull Party? Hugh was a little confused and asked directly.
"The Black Skull Party was formed by the East Byron Restoration Congress for the purpose of collecting money. The organization should be able to guess what it does by listening to the name. The Eternal Life Society is a subordinate branch of the Spirit Order, a secret organization with the existence of extraordinary beings. Many of the high-ranking members of the Eastern Bailang Restoration Council joined the Eternal Life Society, collecting items related to the Grim Reaper for the latter and sending them back to the Southern Continent. ”
After Abner finished speaking, he took the last slice of bread in three or two bites, and then told Hugh all the results and inferences he had obtained from his previous psychic and retrospective skills, except for the relevant matters of Lanlius.
Hugh nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and was about to speak, but suddenly found that Abner was a little stunned, so he asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" ”
Abner came back to his senses when he heard this, and replied with a hint of joy on his face, "It's nothing, it's just that I've finally figured out what 'Keeper of the Know' means." ”
Hugh also knew that Abner was summarizing the rules of the play during this time, so he asked with some curiosity, "What is it?" How did you figure it out? I don't know if I can learn from it, she also wants to digest the "sheriff" potion as soon as possible.
"After I have just told you my inferences based on the results of the investigation, I feel that the 'Keeper of Knowledge' potion is finally beginning to show signs of digestion......" Abner said, organizing his words for a moment, and continued:
"I was wondering why telling you these things would have the effect of facilitating the digestion of potions?" Isn't 'keeping knowledge' about keeping knowledge? ”
Hugh thought about it for a while, and found that he couldn't figure out the logic, so he had to ask seriously: "Yes, why?" ”
"At this time, it occurred to me that the best way to 'protect' knowledge is not to hide it or keep it strictly secret, which will only make it lost and cut off. The best way to do this is to spread the knowledge to those who need to know about it and use it! Abner said excitedly.
Hugh was a little excited by Abner's emotion, but she suddenly remembered something, and asked, "You've done this a lot before...... Why didn't you start digesting it until now? Is it because the accumulation is not enough? ”
"I have also considered this point, and I guess that the so-called 'keeper of knowledge' should be the first to 'know' and then 'keep', that is to say, there must be a process of exploring knowledge first, and then the hard-earned 'knowledge' will be disseminated to those who need it, which is a real role. Well, that's also in line with the work of 'detectives', no wonder it has this nickname. Abner explained with a smile.
That is to say...... Most of the knowledge you have passed on has not been acquired by your own exploration, but has been heard or read from elsewhere? Hugh listened thoughtfully, and had a new idea about his role as a "sheriff".
"Almost......" Abner replied vaguely, guessing that knowledge gained through reading or learning should also be counted as a process of knowledge exploration, except that he was not in this world when he read much of it, or that much of what he had previously told others, although true in this world, was essentially knowledge acquired from another world.
As for why so much was said at the tarot meeting and there was no sign of digestion? That's simpler, firstly, many of the things he said were still not explored by himself, and secondly, the source fort originally had hidden authority, and the gods could not snoop on, so spreading knowledge there could be called spreading?
Next, the two discussed a few more words on the issue of acting, and then returned to the topic.
"What happened to the Kellys? Do they have any other clues there? Abner asked, recalling what he had seen in the backtrack of Kelly's son writing a letter home.
"No, the family doesn't really know anything...... And the thugs also bit them to death at the police, saying that they did not know where their son was. ”
Thinking of the scene Abner had just described, Hugh knew that Kelly's son might have been murdered, and her heart was a little sad, but she quickly adjusted and asked, "Abner, can you describe the appearance of that warehouse in detail?" I'll mobilize informants tomorrow to find its exact location. ”
Abner knew that Hugh's sense of justice had flare up again, and he wanted to avenge Kelly's son, but this coincided with his thoughts, so he smiled and said, "There is no need to bother, I pray to the gods to paint the exterior of that factory." ”
……
Bridge South District, Harvest Church.
As it was late, a girl with long brown hair and a blue dress politely knocked on the door of the church, followed by a two-meter-tall "giant" and a feminine-looking black-haired man with red eyes.
With the sound of heavy footsteps, the door of the church was opened, and Bishop Utravsky, who was 2.2 meters tall, appeared in front of the three of them.
The brown-haired girl looked at the giant bishop in front of her, and then looked back at her captain, and couldn't help but be a little glad that she was one meter six tall.
However, the feminine man behind her, Cullen, seemed to see through her thoughts, and laughed and teased, "Judy, don't look at it. When you advance to the 'Druid', you can turn into a giant bear, and you will definitely be taller and stronger than them! ”
The girl named Judy glanced at the man angrily when she heard this, and shot back: "I heard that the blood clan are very elegant gentlemen, why did you come out of such an other?" ”
"Alternative? At least I'm not obsessed with dolls. Cullen replied with a smile, not angry at all.
"Dolls? What does that mean? Judy asked, confused.
The captain of the giant couldn't stand it anymore at this time, and interrupted loudly: "Okay, you two be serious, don't let the bishop see the joke." ”
Bishop Utrawski smiled mildly: "Welcome, 'desolates'. It's a pity that this is Beckland, and although you have permission to enter the Church of Storm and the Church of Steam, you can't hold a banquet to welcome you openly. ”
"You're so polite, Bishop." The captain, who was also a "giant", waved his hand and continued, "We are here to complete the mission, and we don't need those ...... Let us know a little bit about the believer who went astray. ”
"Well, let's come into church, let's talk slowly."
In addition, there was a patron of the Mother Goddess who also experienced this...... I think I should have brought him with me. ”
