When Klein woke up early Sunday morning, he found that the map of Beckland on the coffee table in the living room had been circled in several places, and they were not too far apart. Presumably, this is the clue left by Sharon, the preparatory ground for the upcoming battle. So, according to the prompts, he spent the morning carefully familiarizing himself with the surrounding environment, figuring out what buildings were and where the nearest church was.

In the afternoon, he went to the Kragg Club again, and as soon as he entered the hall, he saw Alan Crees, a surgeon with a cane who had recently been unlucky, slowly coming out of the cafeteria.

"Alan, how are you doing? Has your luck changed? ”

"At least it's not so unlucky!" Allen, who was naturally cold-looking, had a heartfelt smile on his face, "I followed your proposal and went to the church and told the bishop about it. In the midst of the prayer, I fell asleep, but I seemed to feel that the Goddess had blessed me with peace and tranquility, and since then, my fortune has been normal! Praise be to the Goddess! ”

He drew a crimson moon on his chest.

In my experience, it was a Sequence 7 "Nightmare" that put you into a deep sleep, and then the ritual watchman quickly set up the altar and prayed to the goddess to neutralize your bad luck...... Klein upturned the corners of his mouth and said, "That's great! ”

At this time, Alan glanced at him and said, "Sherlock, I have always felt that you are not religious enough to believe in the gods of steam and machines, why don't you convert?" You see, there is my example here, believe in the goddess! ”

Isn't this embarrassing for me? Hearing Allen's request, Klein almost drew a crimson moon on his chest, but in the end he resisted the urge and responded to the other party very seriously:

"Maybe some of my actions have misled you."

"But I must tell you that faith is a thing that is decided and will not change."

Alan suddenly raised his arms and made an apologetic gesture: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood your piety, I shouldn't joke about your faith." ”

"Okay, the difference in faith doesn't stop us from being friends."

Klein put away the expression he had disguised just now, and said with a smile:

"This statement is not true in Fursack and Fenerport, who can only accept one faith."

At this moment, Klein saw that another person slowly walked out of the restaurant. The other's hair seemed to grow a little longer, and the dark brown ends of the hair had touched the shoulders. An angel should be able to control his body, and he would allow his hair to grow unchecked?

His lips seemed to twitch slightly, as if speaking to himself.

Klein said hello, "Mr. Edward." ”

Edward turned his head with a smile on his face. Dr. Allen and He were not familiar with him, but they were also members of the same club, and they had met a few times, so they nodded to each other in goodwill.

Thinking that he still had something curious, and it was not a secret, Klein directly pretended to change the topic casually: "Have you ever seen Will Onsetin later?" It's the kid who got a leg sawed off and said you were going to get unlucky. ”

Edward didn't join their conversation, and in Klein's opinion, High Sequence wasn't interested in such ordinary extraordinary events.

"No, I haven't seen him since he was discharged from the hospital." Alan shook his head affirmatively, feeling a chill for no apparent reason.

Edward gave him a silent look, then withdrew his gaze.

It's a pity, the night watchman can find it according to the address registered in the hospital, but I can't rush to meddle...... Of course, the kid might have moved away a long time ago...... But it doesn't have anything to do with me...... After chatting with Alan for a few words, Klein retired first because of something. Edward then turned his head (he had been staring at the corner in a daze) and asked with some curiosity, "Did something happen to Mr. Cris?" ”

"After Mr. Allen operated on a child, his luck strangely took a turn for the worse." Klein briefly summarized the cause and effect of the incident, and also tried to get some high-level reasoning from his fellow villagers, "I suggested that he go to the church of the goddess and pray. ”

Edward nodded, and said to him with a pleasant face, "This is the most orthodox and easiest way to deal with it. His luck was affected, probably not to do with that child, but most likely due to the negative effects of the extraordinary items of the Destiny Path. After all, it is normal for children to have higher inspiration, just because that sentence has some psychological implications. ”

Klein felt it made sense and put it behind him.

At this time, two more acquaintances came in at the door, one was a member of the Kingdom Air Pollution Investigation Committee and a shareholder of Coim, Mrs. Mary, and the other was Mrs. Summer, Klein's landlord. They all wore relatively light skirts and looked a lot younger.

They saw Edward from afar, and they also saw Mr. Sherlock, the great detective with whom Edward had a good conversation.

As if he hadn't seen the two ladies, Edward passed by them without squinting. Mrs. Mary, who had hurriedly covered her face with a feather fan and was about to come forward to talk, stopped talking, and was embarrassed by the simple and rude ignorance of the other party, and quickly pulled Mrs. Summerer into the hall. Crane smiled and went to say hello to them.

"It's the serpent of mercury." The King of Decay said, "Will."

"I know He won't change his name. This name is an important part of His humanity, and when it comes along with luck, it is most likely because of Him. No one saw that as soon as Edward Vaughn left the club on his front foot, the smile on his face vanished without a trace and turned into a chilling indifference. He had words in his mouth, as if he were talking to someone, and he stood in the street like a rock that separated the flow of people.

"What a surprising piece of information."

"Letting Will run away so easily, it seems that Ulorius is not a concern now."

"The True Creator hasn't been actively communicating with me lately." Edward searched for Alan Kreese's back in the crowd, but he had been gone for a while, long gone.

It's daylight, and it's strange that he's taking the initiative to find someone at the other party's clinic, not to mention the fact that it's uncertain what role this person will play in Will Onsetin's reboot: "I didn't tell him about Medici either. He has not been in a normal state of mind lately, and the pollution is eating away at his memory and consciousness. Oh, He also found out, but blamed it on misfortune and misfortune, which is also the conclusion after judgment has been affected. ”

"Let's do it first. When His judgment is weakened to a point, I will actively exert my influence."

The Decaying King's tone was still flat as stagnant water, and only a few specific things could lift him up a little: "It's almost time to do it, I've been going to the East Side recently to take a look, and the point of decline of the human race is approaching."

"Natural or man-made?"

"Man-made disaster."

"Huh." Edward couldn't help but laugh, "Demons have never been a race that enjoys cannibalism, but humans are ......different."

Before the words fell, a person in the inaccessible alley suddenly bumped into him, with a very strong force. But Edward did not move, but he was knocked and staggered, and Edward felt in his pocket, and found that the wallet was missing, and the ragged man quickly put something in his pocket and ran deeper without looking back.

“…… Where are you going, sacrifice? ”

Edward stood in place and spoke into his back, "You sold life to me, and your entrails will be used for divination." ”

…………

Moments later, Edward followed the results of his divination to a townhouse in the eastern part of Beckland. People in the vicinity were generally well-dressed, armed with top hats and walking sticks. Occasionally, one or two ladies are also seen wearing expensive dresses and jeweled jewelry. Obviously, this is supposed to be a middle-class residential street.

After surveying the geography of the surrounding environment, Edward put on a smile and asked the nearby residents where the Ansetten family lived. He seemed gentle and noble, and his elegant words and deeds always made people feel good about him, and after only ten minutes of investigation, he had collected all the current impressions of the Ansette's house in the neighborhood.

The Ansettin family has a total of four people, the business Ansettin and his wife, and two children, one older and one young.

The eldest son has reached the age where he can help his parents in the business together, and the younger son has stayed at home because he has not gone to school because of his frailty. After the birth of their youngest son, the business of the Ansettens became better and better, and their lives were no longer poor. Therefore, he took care of his youngest son who was not in good health as a lucky star, met all his requirements, and asked a tutor to teach him.

But somehow, the youngest son had a strange tumor on his leg, and he had to undergo surgery to amputate his leg, and it took a lot of money to finally cure it. Mr. and Mrs. Ansettein also made enough money, and the family of four hurriedly moved to a better city.

The survey lasted 10 minutes, and the listening was shorter than 2 hours. By the time Edward finally sent away his enthusiastic neighbors, it was dark.

"Do you want to catch up and have a look?" Edward said to himself, "Will Encettin will certainly not be untouched, and he will not be rewarded. ”

"He will seek the good and avoid the bad, whether you go or not is part of today's fate, we just wait for His next move." The King of Decay replied, "His healing should represent his successful escape from Ulorius' pursuit. So whether he will continue to hide with his current identity, or whether he will find another home to restart, is unknown."

"Anyway, it shouldn't be possible for the fate path to become true gods before the end, and waiting for that "opportunity" is enough to grind them to death. Not to mention the Circle of Fate and the many gods staring at their essentia outside, the battle between Ulorius and Will was nothing to worry about. ”

"Hmm."

"Look down on Dr. Allen." Edward thought, "I remember he had a wife, and children, and he was young. ”

In the headmaster's room of the Ernst Charity School in the Eastern District, Maria took advantage of the evening sunlight to flip through the files that had been sorted out in the past few days, on which were the names of teenagers and girls, most of whom were under the age of 20, and were the main group of people who disappeared during this time in the Eastern District.

There are more and more people.

Enraged by the huge losses, Caping begins to arrest people with impunity in the East End. The range of targets expanded, almost indiscriminately revenge, and during this time even the homeless did not dare to walk alone on the road.

Patience, Mary, patience, and you will deliver them.

After eating black with Mr. Z, the Touring Sect received a share of 6,500 pounds, which is a huge amount of money, and this year there may be no need for the chief's appropriation, and the East End will be able to renovate and expand the facility.

Considering that there will be cooperation in the future, Mr. Z originally wanted to give a little more, but for some reason (the best employee assessment of the Aurora Club), he tearfully accepted 3,500 pounds of funds and a huge merit worth 10,000 pounds. It is said that Mr. Z laughed so hard that his mouth was cracked directly to the root of his ear, and on the night he returned, a serious civil war broke out at the Aurora Festival.

In this regard, Maria can only say: thank you Mr. A, worried that she would be deducted from her merits and did not choose the battlefield in her workhouse.

And: I hope Mr. Z is okay.

Of course Mr. Z is fine, a lump of meat is still a lump of meat after being kneaded into plasticine and then pinched back into human form. Not only was he fine, but he happily sent a thank-you note after returning to the Aurora Society, along with a price list for Beckland's private detective requested by Maria. - Maria still decides to ask for the detective's help. Because private investigators are better at hiding, disguising, and investigating than themselves, they are omnipresent, and they are not the familiar faces of Kapin. Can do simple investigations, provided they have the ability to be close to Capping's home.

Maria needed a rough layout plan for the building. I don't expect to find a secret passage, but the internal rooms, corridors, and roads leading to the basement are necessary, as are vents and sewers.

This matter could not be dragged on like this any longer, she planned to infiltrate alone, summon the angels of the abyss inside, and then wait for the opportunity to leave with the trafficked children herself. Some adventure, but no alternative.

...... Issinger Stanton Suspected of being an extraordinary person in the middle sequence, suspected of possessing more than one extraordinary item, who has made a great contribution to the investigation of the previous demon case...... He's a great choice! But it's too expensive......

Detective Stuart, Detective Caslana...... They also contribute to the case, and the price is very affordable, but they seem to be ordinary people who don't know anything about the extraordinary world...... With the support of the nobles behind Kapin, Maria sighed, she herself did not know that there were several extraordinary people hidden in the house, and of course it was impossible to pull ordinary people into the water.

Sherlock Moriarty Detective ...... He is also the person who participated in the investigation of the case, and has a certain reputation in the detective circle of Beckland, and there is too little intelligence information, so I am not sure if it is extraordinary, but the price is very reasonable, and it is strongly guaranteed by Issinger Stanton......

Maria quickly read the form, circled several goals in terms of combat effectiveness and economic ability, and decided to visit tomorrow.
