Chapter 392: Stewart in action
"Black Emperor Card......
"All potion recipes and rituals from Sequence 9 Lawyer to Sequence 0 Black Emperor are recorded......
"No wonder Mr. Tower says that the 'Blasphemy Plaque' hides the mystery of the gods...... This is really the mystery of becoming a god!
"However, with Mr. Tower's understanding of Sequence 0 and the 'Desecrated Card', could he have a similar card in his hand? Which one will it be?
"In addition, the 'Black Emperor' can exploit the loopholes of the death rule, as long as there is a certain amount of remnants of the established order, then even if the nine mausoleums that drove the people to build are all destroyed, it is still possible to resurrect......
"Mr. 'Tower' once mentioned in Baron Ramder's investigation report that Russell seems to have forcibly jumped to the 'Black Emperor' path at the cost of half-madness in his later years......
"What if...... If Russell really made it to Sequence 0, does it mean that he hasn't really fallen?
"Perhaps, he is lying in some mausoleum waiting for the 'resurrection' at the moment......"
In the midst of his thoughts, Crane looked at Russell on the "Black Emperor" card again, in the portrait, the other party sat on an ancient stone throne, wearing a black crown inlaid with various gems on his head, wearing pitch-black armor, covered with a cloak of the same color, holding a scepter in his hand, and looking forward with indifferent eyes.
Then, Klein suddenly laughed and said:
"He doesn't really use his own image for every sequence, does he? What narcissism......
"So, what will the 'Witch Card' look like? Hehe, it's exciting. ”
After a moment of fun, Klein restrained his thoughts, then adjusted his sitting posture and used his spiritual "point" to open the crimson star of Miss "Justice".
He first answered the other party's previous question in the tone of a "fool", and then pretended to be a "dependent" to thank Miss "Justice" for her assistance, and took the opportunity to reduce the other party's debt of 3,000 pounds.
Of course, this 3,000 pounds is the last installment in January next year, and as for this month's 3,000 pounds, Mr. "Fool's" "Dependents" still want to wait for the money to arrive in the account to buy the "Sun Brooch" of the old Mr. "Eyes of Wisdom".
……
Queens, home of Earl Hall.
After having breakfast and hearing from her father that the police had identified the killer of the serial murder, Audrey prayed for the witness who kept shouting "killing" and "help" on the street, praying that the other party would not have nightmares in the future, and at the same time asked her maid Anne to prepare several invitations for afternoon tea and gave them to Glerinte, Conse, Murray, Christine, Emma, Amthea and others.
Most of them were people interested in the occult and would certainly be no stranger to Russell's manuscripts...... Under my guidance, Emma and Amthea have a high chance of making a purchase or collection...... As long as I get rid of it, I have an excuse from Forthth...... At least don't deceive her, I don't have the Russell manuscript in my possession!
So it was decided...... As soon as Audrey thought of this, a thick gray mist suddenly filled her sight, and then the figures of the "fool" and the "dependent" appeared.
"That bookmark turned out to be a blasphemy card?! And it was done so quickly...... While Mr. Eyewitness was screaming for help in a panic, Mr. Fool's 'Dependent' took the "Blasphemy Plaque" from the heavily protected museum without alarming anyone! How handsome! ”
Audrey thought longingly, but she didn't pay the slightest attention to the matter of forgiving the 3,000 pound debt.
……
In the bridge area, in the house near Iron Gate Street, Stewart, who had changed into Shaw, or Kaye Shaw, looked at Thomas Corson, who was wearing a blue overalls and was in good health, and asked in surprise, "You also hired a detective to investigate your wife before?" ”
When Thomas heard this, a look of guilt suddenly appeared on his face, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, teacher...... It was I who did not worry about her, thinking that she had been deceived...... I didn't expect her to follow your teachings...... It's all my fault. ”
Since it is possible to "instigate" the wives of workers to divorce, it is natural that they can also "instigate" their husbands to treat their wives "rationally", after all, for those who like violence, "reasoning" is something they do not usually do.
As for whether this is suitable for the role of "witch"? What's the matter with him Stewart, he's not really an "instigator", he's just a simulation ability.
Thinking so in his heart, Stewart shook his head, and said while using his ability to "charm": "You are not wrong, it is only right to care about your wife...... But why don't you talk to your wife sincerely? Figuring out the truth by hiring a detective is, in the words of Russell the Great, the practice of reversing the position of the roots and the treetops. ”
"You're right!" "I'll go to Detective Moriarty in the afternoon and ask him to finish this investigation." ”
"Good!" Stuart nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Thomas again, "Tell me more about how you got to that Detective Moriarty?" ”
"Okay, teacher...... I saw the advertisement in the newspaper ......"
After listening carefully to Thomas's description, Stewart muttered for a while, then memorized the name "Sherlock Moriarty", and when the morning "lesson" was over, he went to the Jowood District Police Station and used his official capacity to access the file of Mr. Detective.
Soon, he discovers that the Moriarty detective is the one who first uncovered the "Ambassador Intis espionage case" and was interrogated by "MI9......
MI9 interrogations? I see, it seems that this Moriarty detective has become an informant for MI9, and after receiving Thomas's commission, he obviously found out about the "instigator", and even discovered the existence of "me", so he reported it to the small lady of MI9......
After the MI9 investigation, it became aware of the existence of the "Esoteric Society" and the "Aurora Society", and only then did I inform it through the young lady...... This is not an official notice, but a gesture of goodwill to myself? Is that young lady, or some of the higher-ups behind her, trying to accomplish something with me?
Or are there people being bought, whether it's MI9 or the Church of Storm? That's why you told me this way?
In a flash of thought, Stewart put down the dossier and did not turn to the portrait of the appendix on the last page.
……
After noon, Klein, who had just taken a nap in his home, was ready to go to the circus to find inspiration to play the "magician".
As he put on his coat and hat, he thought back to two "consultations" during the morning gun practice at the Cragg Club.
The two consultations came from his friend "Equestrian Teacher" Talim and "Surgeon" Allen.
For the former's "a friend falls in love with someone he shouldn't love", Klein has no good way but to suggest that the other party look at love more...... Although Klein himself feels unreliable.
As for the latter's "continuous doom" consultation, Klein, as a former "professional", has his own unique method - that is, to "pray" to the church...... Of course, there's nothing wrong with saying "report".
Alan gladly accepted the suggestion and decided to wait a moment to meet the bishop and ask him to convey the request for protection to the goddess.
No, it would be accurate to describe it as the Bishop was able to notice the anomaly in you only with the Bishop's message...... Thinking of this, Klein complained in his heart, and then opened the door and left his home at 15 Minsk Street.
But just then, there was a knock on the door.
Klein sensed it with the "Joker" ability, and found that it was his client, Mr. Thomas Corson, who was outside the door.
How did he get here? Can't wait? Or has something else changed?
While guessing in his heart, Crane flicked the coin and divined, and only after getting a non-dangerous result did he open the door and let the other party in.
After the pleasantries, Thomas asked Klein to terminate the commission, and said that he would re-impress his wife through hard work, through sincerity, and through his love for her, so that she would change her mind...... In the end, he was quite embarrassed to say:
"I won't get the deposit back...... But can the balance payment be reduced? ”
Klein was surprised by such a change, and he had no problem with reducing the final payment, but casually asked when revising the contract: "Why don't you continue to investigate?" ”
Hearing this, Thomas showed a respectful look on his face, and said solemnly: "Because I met a teacher...... Her name is Kaye Shaw......"
The pen in Klein's hand to revise the contract suddenly stopped, and he used the ability of the "clown" to control his facial features, so that he did not let himself show too exaggerated expressions.
Kaye Shaw? Is this a reverse "instigation" of those workers? That Mr. Stewart is very good at playing!
……
At the same time, on the fifth floor of the Dream Labyrinth Tower, Abner, who had barely recovered his spirit after resting until noon, found the "bell ringer" of the bell tower again and asked him about the "Elven Trial".
