"Beria will definitely arouse the idea of the church, and the seed in the human heart that Crane encountered was planted by him, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Hmm...... Demons, or Sequence 5, anti-divination and crisis intuition, are two characteristics that are enough for one or two churches to cooperate. Cooperation doesn't necessarily kill him, but at least protect the threatened detectives. ”

"Sherlock Moriarty's identity is a god of steam and machines, so the heart of machines should be dispatched. I don't know who that Isinger is, but the people who live in Beckland basically believe in the three gods, and there is a high probability that the three major churches will be dispatched at the same time. ”

Amon sat cross-legged on the spacious single sofa, holding a large round embroidered fringed pillow in his arms, his chin resting on the pillow, and Edward, analyzing the current situation sentence by sentence.

"Will the demigods do it?"

"No, the difficulty of this mission is to find the demon. The official team often takes the lead in sequence 6, with seals, and the three squads can achieve overflow of combat power, provided that they can successfully catch Beria's tail. ”

Amon stretched out his hand and tapped in the air, and the black gem representing Belial, which was suspended in front of the two of them, floated itself next to the pendulum of the "soothsayer", while the other gears, red beads and blue crystals, floated a little farther away.

"I remember you saying that Beria was right there close to Crane."

This symbolizes that the Church of the Three Gods is still on alert, but the crisis lurks around the detectives. The little imp of the Belial family seemed to be very confident that he would not find him, and on the second floor of the Crane house, he had a sense of what was happening, but he still did not run away immediately.

Maybe he was also daring to test the limit of this "shielding" ability, and I was lucky enough to be tested by him, and I didn't notice it.

Fabuti, who has only one more Sequence 1 trait and uniqueness than herself, may also do it, but she is eroded and controlled by the Mother Tree of Desire, and it is more likely that the Mother Tree of Desire will directly do it against herself.

"It's a fight." The outer god said.

Edward didn't look directly at most of the images he saw, in order to prevent himself from being too impressed or thinking about Beria, so that the other party would realize the danger and run away in time.

After a moment, one more sentence came to mind: "Beria ran away." ”

Who? Who ran away? Edward was stunned, dealing with a Crane, a sequence 7 who is not good at melee combat, he actually ran away?

…… It's a shame to be a devil.

No matter how you think about it, it shouldn't be this development, unless something is wrong in between...... Could it be related to Fort Source? Could it be that we guessed wrong, it wasn't Crane who controlled the Source Fort, and there really was someone else up there?

She looked at Amon, who also looked at her, and then shook his head, "I didn't feel the source fort, what happened?" ”

Edward briefly relayed another process he saw to Amon, Amon was a little surprised, he subconsciously pinched his eyes, hesitated and said: "I prefer that there are some special circumstances over there, such as they still have hidden hole cards, and the strong people passing by help easily, or the church team runs fast." Your current path is good at fighting, but there are slight shortcomings in divination and prediction, maybe the demon is not sure, or maybe the official personnel arrived in time, in short, he has temporarily given up the plan to kill people. ”

"You have a point. His original purpose was not to extinguish the mouth, but to attract the attention of the official through the extinguishment of the mouth, and to accomplish the real goal himself. Edward affirmed, "Of course he won't be desperate for this kind of thing, and running away at the right time can delay time." ”

"However, according to your guess, it would be even more humiliating for Crane and them—a few low-order and a group of ordinary people—to scare away the Apostles of Desire by some special means."

Amon sneered, and the gems floating in the air fell one by one, and he took out a Quaternary gold coin, placed it flat above the thumb of his right hand in a fist, and bounced it high with force, and the brightly colored gold coin flipped and flew upward.

"Let me tell you if the official members have rushed to Crane's side now."

They looked up together, their eyes darting down with the gold coin.

"Smack!"

Amon slapped his hands and caught it steadily. Unfolded, the float of the hand holding the scepter is facing upwards.

"Positive." On the reverse side are the symbols of the Hidden Line, the Infinity Gate and the Shadow Dial. Amon put away his favorite Quaternary gold coin, which was about the same gold as the current gold pound, but because of the defective smelting technique, it was larger and more weighty.

"It seems that the Steam Church is moving quickly this time."

After getting the result, Edward stopped thinking about other things, and continued to conceive the plan from the side: Crane did not die in the sneak attack of Belial, and successfully waited for the help of the church with the others, so the defense should be relatively tight in a short time. I didn't have a reason to visit, and I didn't want to deal with members of the Orthodox God Church.

There is no need to secretly observe or wait for the rabbit.

Because they're not really the target. Beria may not come.

"If you continue to scry about him, he will perceive your threat to him, so that's enough."

Amon crossed the glittering stone in his hand and asked without raising his head, "Then what are we going to do now?" ”

"You don't have to do anything, because 'I didn't find him at all,' just let it be. For the sake of the Beria family, he will take the initiative to come to me to die, I just have to wait. Of course, I can't do nothing, I won't give them the initiative. ”

"So ......?"

"Come out with me and go to the Aurora Club."

Eisinger Stanton deliberately disguised himself as a seriously injured person, but in fact he had simulated an extraordinary ability to heal, waiting for the demon to take the bait.

The demon successfully took the bait, but he didn't want Sherlock Moriarty to have similar abilities to heal and reduce damage, and without tacit cooperation, the wounds on his body were healed instantly, and the menacing Apostle of Desire saw this, and turned around and left.

Crane and Issinger looked at each other and laughed, they didn't expect their preparations to just collide and be self-defeating, and they didn't expect the demon to go so simply.

The demon had stayed on the second floor of his residence, right in front of his desk, where perhaps no occult connections would be left, but the scene and evidence would still be preserved.

It didn't take long for Crane to deal with it, and he saw several strangers go up to the second floor.

The leader was a man with a stiff face, but with fluffy, messy, stubborn brown hair.

In his hand he held an ancient silver mirror with strange patterns, and on either side of the mirror were black gems decorated with "eyes".

"Hello, Mr. Moriarty, I'm Conser Bernard of the Church of the God of Steam and Machines, can I check here?"

Crane bowed his head and said, "No problem. ”

He immediately said politely: "Do you need me to follow me and answer some questions at any time?" ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you." Yin Kangse smiled.

"This is where the 'Apostle of Desire' sit?" Entering the bedroom, Yin Kangse pointed to the chair in front of the desk.

He had apparently asked Issinger Stanton.

"Yes." Crane replied calmly.

Yin Kangse didn't say anything more, picked up the silver mirror, and stroked the surface three times with his right hand. After a slight pause, he spoke in a deep voice, "Dear Arodes, my question is, what does the demon who sat here look like before?" ”

The surrounding lights suddenly became deep, as if dyed with the mist after the rain, and there was a strange flash of water on the surface of the silver mirror, converging a scene:

A man covered in a viscous black "liquid" sat in a chair with his back to the window and facing the bed.

Immediately afterwards, the picture changed, and the dressing mirror in the corner of the room vaguely reflected the side face of the black shadow, which was also covered by "pitch black".

But there are some vague outlines.

The "Apostle of Desire" has high cheekbones and a pair of cold blue eyes.

Glancing at the picture that appeared in the silver mirror, Crane suddenly showed a thoughtful expression:

"I found such an important clue as my appearance so easily, this mirror is very powerful, and it has its own name, it seems to be a living seal......

"The harmfulness of this kind of thing is not necessarily too great, but the difficulty of sealing is very high, it is not a special case, and it is rarely taken out and used. Bernard's member of the Heart of the Machine seems to be of no low status, he should be a deacon, and he is not simple in his own right......"

"The limit of what divination can do is almost the result that the silver mirror just presented, even if I go to the gray mist, there will be no better harvest."

"But it is impossible to determine by the appearance of the 'Apostle of Desire' alone, and I don't know how many people meet this condition in Beckland......"

As Crane thought about it, the image in the silver mirror quickly faded.

Then, the bright red words outlined in the mirror:

"According to the principle of reciprocity, it is my turn to ask questions, and if you lie or can't answer, you will accept the task I have assigned or be punished."

"......," Crane raised an eyebrow.

Is this Truth or Dare? It's kind of interesting......

A few seconds later, a silvery flash of lightning appeared out of thin air and crackled above his head.

Ziziz, Yin Kangse's hair stood on end, and his body fell down with a thud, and some black smoke came out.

But instead of landing with him, the mirror floated on its own and landed on the table.

After two seconds, Yin Kangse stood up in a trembling chair, and then sat there, shaking and panting.

Crane watched all this speechlessly, and didn't know how to react for a long time.

Yin Kangse, who had eased up a little, looked at him, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said:

"What you should have heard of, what seals are, and what you should know about them, all have certain negative effects."

"Yes." Crane looked at Yin Kangse's hair standing up, and suddenly understood why his previous hairstyle was so fluffy, messy, and stubborn.

Crane couldn't help but say:

"Actually, you can ask by yourself, there's no need to be in front of me."

"Phew, the requirement for this mirror is that someone must be watching." Yin Kangse was still trembling.

It's really spiritual...... Crane took two steps forward, came to the table, and looked at the silver mirror carefully with curiosity, and found that the living seal had nothing special except for the strange pattern and the outfit of two eyes.

Yin Kangse turned to him sideways and shook and sighed:

"You can ask it questions too, we don't mind."

"No, I don't have that idea." Crane would play "Truth or Dare" with a guy similar to the pen fairy and the saucer.

As he spoke, he tried to touch the edge of the silver mirror.

Cold, metallic to the touch...... As soon as Crane had such an idea, he saw the ancient silver mirror tremble slightly.

White words quickly emerged on it:

"Your faithful and humble servant Arodes is at your service."

Crane: ?

The Dark Sage Kersma has a slight affection for the Abyssal Angels—mainly due to her closeness to someone who is also serious about her work, but also because the other person is a slightly more familiar collaborator who can communicate normally.

Coupled with many bells and whistles such as "Ally of the Lord", "Collaborator for a Thousand Years", "The Greatest Contributor to the Divine Descent", "Financial Helper" and many other bells and whistles, the Dark Sage who has been a Sage for only a few hundred years has a lot of respect for this demon angel, so he is also willing to do his best to help the other party in some things, expressing the sincerity of the Aurora Society.

For example, the ritual, the casualness of the angel of the abyss can be seen in her arrangements for her own rituals. Most High Beings choose a date that has a special occult relationship with them, and the Abyssal Angel chooses her own birthday, December 22. (Winter Solstice)

In the beginning, Kersma often wondered if it was a ritual or a birthday party for the demon angels every five years.

"Are you visiting tonight just for the sake of the ceremony?"

As a result, Kersma was very surprised to see Edward, and he had the impression that the other party had never paid much attention to it. It is indeed not an easy task to prepare hundreds of sinful souls, and even if you give five years, most of the time you will not meet the standard, and sometimes you will even stop temporarily for various reasons. But the angel of the abyss doesn't seem to care at all, he does whatever he wants, and he is very talkative, and this attitude makes people even more perfunctory.

"Yes."

Edward sat more casually: "There may be some things this year, I hope to be able to advance, the specific time I decide." ”

In advance...... Kersma nodded and replied, "It's already the night of the 16th, and there are only 5 days until your sacrifice, and everything is still in the process of preparation. If you do, we'll speed up the process and make sure you get started as soon as you give notice. ”

"Then the characteristics that God promised me after the successful descent......"

"Already safely escorted to the sealing room last week."

Kersma spoke: "But it's as dangerous as a Level 0 seal, and it has a lot of abyssal contamination, so it's not stored here." At that time, we will arrange for someone to pick it up for you. ”

"It's hard to know what will happen on the way, I can go there myself."

The Abyssal Angel nodded with satisfaction, and asked about the true Creator by the way.

She didn't call him by his first name, but asked rather kindly, "The situation of the Aurora Society seems to have improved, I wonder how the allies are doing lately?" ”

In such a tone, of course, Kersma had no reason to refuse to answer, but for the sake of the Lord, he still hid part of it somewhat.

"Since you have spoken, I will not hide it......"

He pondered and said, "As you can see, the Aurora Festival has been getting better recently, and we are all praying with all our hearts and souls according to the Lord's divine realm, spreading the earthly splendor and the sun's gifts to her. The number of people willing to join us is also growing, and the ranks of our compatriots are growing, but many are not religious enough and need more guidance and teaching. ”

"It is a supreme miracle that with your help, the Lord came into the world as a pure child, and the Son and the Holy Spirit are one."

Her whispers and voice are still there, but they have gradually revealed a benevolent divinity, from which we can more easily hear the precious knowledge and gospel she has bestowed. Praise the Lord and praise the kingdom she will come. ”

Aurora will expand in size, attract more people, spread the teachings on a larger scale, and make anchors in batches, which is to stabilize her state.

And the voice of the ontology far away in the God's Forsaken Land still echoed in the ears of everyone in the secret prayer path, proving that her doppelganger, who had successfully descended, was not yet the strength of a demigod, and there was no way to compete with the whispers of her own ontology...... Coupled with the large-scale development of believers' behavior, it can be seen that the current state of the true Creator is not very good.

That's great.

Let this doppelganger slowly weaken to death.

"Let her kingdom come."

"Let her kingdom come."

After Kersma closed her eyes, Edward prayed as well.
