Chapter 626: Root Trick and Terminal Conspiracy
Bridge South District, Harvest Church.
Looking at the spire building with its golden façade, Abner first "religiously" drew the stick figure emblem with his hand before pushing the door and walking in.
- When you come to negotiate with an angel, you must first please your own backstage.
Since it was a Wednesday and a weekday, there were very few believers in the prayer hall, and the few were people Abner knew.
Emlyn, Hazel, Mrs. Scudder, Mrs. Fassin, a maiden named Freya...... Hey? Edith is actually ...... Is he going back to Beckland for the New Year?
Although Abner was a little happy to see Atrith's friend here, considering that he was not using the vest of a "hero detective" and had something to do, he did not come forward to talk to the other party, but found a random place to sit down and wait for the end of Bishop Utravsky's sermon.
During this time, he opened the "Pure White Eye" and tried to use the means of communication with the "spirits" to contact the fetus in Mrs. Fasin's womb......
Soon, the other party gave him a brief response: "Go to the bathroom and talk." ”
Is this the expansion of Mr. Fool's influence, or is it that all of you great beings have a preference for the lavatory?
I remember that in the original book, Little Snake communicated with Klein at the banquet, also in the bathroom......
After complaining in his heart, Abner still stood up and walked to the public bathroom of the church.
Speaking of which, the reason why Abner is somewhat sure that the "bound god" will help is because the other party is obviously sheltered by the mother earth goddess, and he is deeply favored by Lilith, so why should he sell his face;
secondly, the last time he came to the Harvest Church, he took the initiative to "say hello", obviously with a certain amount of goodwill;
In the end, in the main hall deep in the "Daniel's Labyrinth", after all, it was he who "sacrificed" the seal "1-025" to give him the opportunity to get out of trouble...... In this way, he owes himself a favor.
Based on these three points, Abner felt that he would not refuse his request, and might even be glad that he had returned the favor in such a simple way.
Abner grunted as he entered the bathroom and locked the door.
He stood patiently in front of the washing mirror for more than a minute, and then his inspiration was suddenly struck, and then the figure of a blond and blue-eyed doll dressed in a beautiful dress and tied to a wooden stick appeared in the mirror.
"Good afternoon, Your Highness the Bound God." Abner saluted politely and greeted him without humility or arrogance.
On Lilith's turf, he wasn't afraid that the other party would hurt him.
"I ...... Time is limited...... Say...... Focus. The doll's mouth opened and closed, and the words were struggling to be spitted out, and the tone seemed stiff,
"Also...... No...... Call ...... 'Bound God'...... He ...... now. Don't just point at me......" He added intermittently with the "click" of the doll's jaw.
Although this is completely different from the "messenger" lady in the original book, the form of speaking is the same...... Abner was secretly amazed, and on the surface he slowly said his request, and finally asked, "I don't know what I need to pay for you to help stop the curse of that '0' level seal?" ”
After hearing this, the doll in the mirror broke off a finger of his left hand with his right hand and threw it to Abner, before he said:
"...... it Put it in ...... That man...... ...... on the body Curse...... Will be transferred...... Give me...... Carry. ”
Catching that finger, Abner1 found that it had quickly grown into a new doll, but it was not delicate and beautiful, and the "clothes" on it were dirty.
Abner pondered for a moment and asked, "Will the 'curse' be transferred to you?" Nothing could go wrong, right? ”
"'Prisoner'...... Burdened with a curse...... is normal...... Never mind. At this point, the doll paused for more than ten seconds before continuing, "You don't have to...... Pay...... This is what it is...... I owe ...... Debt. ”
With that, the figure of the puppet disappeared from the washing mirror.
Debt? Does it mean that I sacrificed the seal "1-025"? What does He mean by this?
And why do you go so fast? I'd also like to ask about Daniel......
Abner sighed, but he wasn't too disappointed, after all, he came to find the "bound god" this time...... No, it should be that the purpose of finding Tolzner, the "god of spiritual things", has been achieved.
After putting away the doll made of that finger, Abner solved the follow-up problem caused by choking on mung bean cake and drinking a lot of water, and then washed his hands and left the public bathroom.
By this time, Bishop Utrawski's sermon had ended, and Mrs. Fasin was walking towards the main entrance of the church, supported by Edith and Freya......
And Mrs. Scudder had already gone out to help them get the carriage.
With their departure, the prayer hall that had been a few believers suddenly became empty.
At this time, Emlyn suddenly came up and whispered with a suspicious expression, "I wanted to ask yesterday...... Have I seen you somewhere? ”
It feels like your taste is somewhat familiar, and the smell on your body is very ...... Let the Bloodline be kind......
You really have a smart nose, and you remember the smell after seeing it once at the police station more than half a year ago? This is comparable to the breath extraction ability of the "Pure White Eye".
After a few remarks, Abner responded with a smile on the surface:
"I've been in Vrsack before."
Fursac ...... I haven't been to Vrsack...... Could that intimacy and familiarity really be an illusion? Emlin thought for a few seconds before he stopped dwelling on the question, hesitated for a moment, and asked solemnly:
"Mr. Spector, may I ask you a favor?"
- Mark? Spector is the pseudonym of Abner's current status as the Countess's lover, and when he came yesterday, he had communicated his name to Bishop Utravsky, Hazel, and Emlyn.
"What's the rush? Tell me about it......" Abner asked curiously.
He had never known that Emlyn was so familiar, and his current identity was basically a stranger to him.
"I'd like to ask you to keep an eye out for this doll...... This is one of my favorite dolls, the work of Master Tano a hundred years ago...... But he suddenly disappeared a few days ago!
"If you find it in a store, a market, or a trade show, be sure to let me know!"
As he spoke, Emlyn took out a thick piece of cardboard from his bosom with a "portrait" of a puppet on it, and then gritted his teeth and said, "If I know who took it, he must look good!"
"Think you don't steal if you put the money?!"
And at this moment, Abner did his best not to show a strange look on his face, because the doll on the portrait in Emlin's hand was exactly the same as the one he had just seen in the bathroom mirror!
……
By the time Klein left Lina and Shoko's café and returned to Minsk Street in the Jowood district, it was already dark, and the glow of the gas lamps was even brighter than the red moon in the air.
I wanted to go to Attorney Huergen's house for a meal and pet the cat, but as Klein paced outside the house at No. 15, he suddenly felt a little spiritually touched, and he noticed that someone seemed to have entered his house.
Who is it? That fake Baron Larry didn't wait for me, so he came to my house?
After divining for a while, and getting no dangerous results, Klein carefully opened the door and entered the house, looking around vigilantly, and in a hurry found a letter on the coffee table.
Looking down at the letter, Crane pulled out his black glove and put it on before picking it up and opening it.
Inside the envelope was a thin piece of stationery, and when it was unfolded, a dark red color immediately hit Klein's eyes, and a faint smell of blood lingered on the tip of his nose.
On the letterhead, a line of coagulated blood was written:
"You're all going to die!"
Threatening letters? Who will it be? The name is 'you'...... And the only case I completed with others on the surface was the one where the demon dog killed people in a serial manner...... Is it the dog's owner who has come in for revenge? Klein's heart tightened, and he quickly analyzed.
Later, he found another threatening letter written in blood in his bedroom...... And this time he no longer hesitated, and immediately chose to call the police.
At the same time, he took advantage of his time in the bathroom at the police station to enter the gray fog and inform Miss "Temperance" of his situation through the "world".
Miss "Temperance" did not hesitate, indicating that she would rush to Minsk Street as soon as possible and secretly give him protection.
Crane, who got Sharon's promise, was obviously relaxed, although he didn't know what the owner of the demon dog had, but no matter what, the other party would never be a demigod, and with himself and Sharon joining forces, even if he couldn't beat it, he should still be able to protect himself.
But when he cautiously returned to Minsk Street, he found one detective after another visiting his house......
This also includes Detective Issinger Stanton, who was seriously injured.
From his mouth, Klein finally had a clearer understanding of the enemy.
……
A few streets away from Minsk Street in a safe house - no doubt on the lease. Abner and Hugh also successfully met and obtained the seal handed over by Hugh that could temporarily shield "0-08".
It was a pair of earrings, which were called:
"The Trick of the Roots" and "The Conspiracy of the End".
