Chapter 451: Investigation and Speculation
"Southern Continent?" Hugh had heard of this for the first time, and looked at Vera in bewilderment.
"I received a task the other day to escort a valuable item to the colony in the Southern Continent...... The road can be dangerous, so I didn't plan to take you with me...... However, the case of 'Kaping' is more complicated...... If I'm not in Beckland, there's no guarantee that no one will do anything to you......" Vera paused at this point, and without explaining anything more, she continued,
"You can rest in the dormitory at the headquarters for the night today, and then go to say goodbye to your friends tomorrow morning, and pack your belongings by the way...... Tomorrow at 1 p.m. take the train to Port Prieze. ”
Hugh could feel that His Royal Highness Vera cared about him, and his heart was a little moved, but after pursing her lips, she still asked, "Behind Kapin...... Are there people from MI9 too? Or...... The upper echelons of the kingdom? ”
All the plans were completed in Mr. "Fool's" Divine Country, and the direct attack was also Mr. "Fool's" "Dependent", so I should have no suspicions...... But even so, Her Highness Vera still thinks that "they" may be doing something to me...... Could it be because of my father?
Is this huge force entrenched in MI9, and even in the upper echelons of the kingdom, the real culprit who framed his father? Hugh inevitably had associations.
"Now you ...... Not qualified to know that much. Vera shook her head and didn't answer Hugh's question.
It's similar to what Abner has always said...... Father, what did he find out in the first place? What is Capping taking girls for? Could it be that he wanted to "sacrifice" to the evil gods?
Hugh was silent for a few seconds, then nodded, "I understand." ”
"After this escort mission, you should be able to accumulate enough to contribute to the 'judge' another main material." Vera saw that she was not in a good mood, so she mentioned it slightly.
After Hugh left the office, Vera stood up and stood by the window of the office, looking at the layers of gorgeous courts and the towering Gothic bell tower in the center of Queens, and sighed slightly:
"The Black Emperor? Is this kind of sneaky, treacherous and treacherous behavior also worthy of being called the 'Black Emperor'?
"Not to mention His Majesty Solomon...... Even if it's Russell's courage, you can't compare to it......"
……
After coming out of the office, Hugh heeded the advice of Her Highness Vera and instead of going home, she went to rest in the MI9 quarters - she used to stay overnight when she interrogated prisoners all night, so she was no stranger to it.
After a brief wash, Hugh lay on the bed, recalling in his mind what had happened outside the Caping Villa.
The two Sage Lords suddenly descended, and Mr. Fool's "Dependent" reappeared on the roof of a nearby house as if provocative, and suddenly disappeared under the nose of the Sage.
The shattered corpse inside the villa, and the tarot cards covering the corpse.
Mr. "Fool" followed with an "angelic" blessing, and the "interrogation" that he and Hazel almost undertook.
If it weren't for Her Highness Vera personally bringing me back, I'm afraid I would still be being questioned by the Sage of the House of Augustus at this time, right?
Hugh gradually fell asleep in thought, and after a long time, she suddenly saw a divine and clear light, which instantly condensed into a figure, and twelve pairs of pitch-black wings grew behind her.
The layers of wings then closed and enveloped Hugh.
Hugh suddenly became awake, waking up to her own dreams, and she immediately understood that this was a stress change in the blessing of the "angels...... Someone has invaded their dreams!
Immediately afterward, she felt shadow-like things wandering in the gray sky, and thoughts from the depths of her heart surging out of her dreams.
Among these thoughts, she was most impressed by the things in the previous period, including receiving a commission from Mr. Scudder to take Hazel and Freya to investigate, and to capture Kapin's men who attacked Hazel.
In East Chester, Hugh, who had been invaded by dragons in his dreams, quickly calmed down and tried to control those thoughts, only to find that it was not difficult.
So, she hid the memories of the Tarot Society, leaving only the parts of what she had done in reality.
Of course, in order to cover up the flaws that he might have exposed in front of the Sage at that time, Hugh adapted the process of killing the man with red spots on his face, and turned it into his attempt to break through the prohibition in the other party's spirit and failed, and as a result, he was killed because of anger, and he committed suicide disguised as a fear of crime......
At this moment, Hugh suddenly heard a familiar cold snort, and then her dreams began to scatter, as if out of some kind of guidance.
She knew it was a sign that the infiltrator was gone.
After forcibly escaping from the dream, Hugh was fully awake, but he did not open his eyes, and remained in his usual sleeping position, bewildering possible enemies, but thought to himself:
"The Last Voice...... Is it Her Highness Vera?
"The 'Punishment Knight' can still detect dream invasions?"
……
In the Joe Wood District, in a villa not far from Kaping's house, a mature middle-aged man with a pair of golden eyes looked at the embarrassed figure that appeared from the void, and asked with a smile, "What?" Entering a Sequence 7 dream is in danger? ”
"Is Her Highness Vera really just a 'Knight of Punishment'? If she hadn't recognized who I was, I would have been almost killed by her......" The embarrassed figure said in a deep voice.
"Vera is His Majesty's youngest sister...... is also the most favored sister.,It's normal to have some powerful magical items or charms on your body.。 The middle-aged man chuckled and shook his head before asking, "Did you find any information?" ”
"No...... The little girl from the Dill family didn't know anything, and even Kapin's men took the initiative to provoke them...... The way she looked when she saw you was probably because she had just killed someone by mistake before that......"
The embarrassed figure repeated to the middle-aged man what he saw in his dream, and finally said, "I have also verified these in the dream of the girl named Hazel...... Basically the same...... However, there was a very powerful spirit beside that Hézel...... It should be the creation of the Mother Earth God Church, and I am so embarrassed now, and I also have a part to it......"
"A powerful spirit? What is it like? The middle-aged man remembered the black figure that disappeared suddenly, and his heart moved, and he asked.
The person who infiltrated the Xiu Dream Realm obviously knew what the other party was thinking, shook his head and said, "It can't be it, it doesn't have the power of the 'Black Emperor' on it."
"You should know that the ghost that attacked Kapin has the feeling of a real 'black emperor', which is the reason why His Majesty ordered a strict investigation."
The middle-aged man nodded silently, and then sighed:
"That ghost has a very strong anti-divination ability, and neither I, nor Snake, nor even the other dignitaries in the military who are good at divination, have not been able to get useful clues...... Even if he aimed for the lost 'Russell Grip', it didn't work......
"So, the only clues at present are the 'Joker' who also sprinkled tarot cards in the Lanrius case and the 'Iron Man' who also appeared in that case?
"'Rogue Black Emperor', 'Iron Man', 'Joker'...... Is this a new organization symbolized by tarot cards and appearing as so-called 'heroes'? ”
……
Byam, after Abner's interrogation of the man who sold the medicine, generally understood why he was being targeted...... To put it simply, it is that his deterrence is not enough, and he occupies a manor that others covet, so he is coveted.
I was going to keep a low profile during my time in Byam...... Why do you have to force me to do it?
Abner sighed, mimicking the "Nightmare" ability to put the pill seller to sleep before lifting the spiritual blockade and pushing open the car door.
Elaine, who had watched the interrogation process, also got out of the car when she saw this, and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Brian, where are you going?" ”
"Naturally, it's to 'solve' the problem!" Abner turned his head and smiled "kindly."
