Zhang Huaisheng asked rhetorically: "Lucia... Ma'am, or sir, is the place you talking about, Mr. Levi's villa on Park Avenue? ”

Lucia nodded, "Of course, and specifically his study, where you've been the longest—you can call me a lady for the time being." ”

Zhang Huaisheng pondered his words and said, "Then madam, I don't know if you have heard of the case of the Boston murderer who made a fuss some time ago?" ”

Lucia raised her eyebrows, a little disdainful: "Is that the midnight prostitute killer?" ”

Zhang Huaisheng was stunned for a moment: "It's true, but I have to remind you that the victims are not all prostitutes, for example, the first victim is Mr. Levi's daughter." ”

Lucia nodded in understanding: "So, Levi hired you to be a private investigator?" ”

Lucia frowned, and her immature face showed a solemnity that did not match her age: "As far as I know, Levi is a well-known local textile tycoon, and I wonder why he asked you to be a private investigator from Donghua - sorry, I'm not racist, but it's like this now." ”

"It's okay."

Zhang Huaisheng hesitated, but still said: "I studied in Edinburgh, so I have some connections with the resistance group there, and Mr. Levi is actually a strong sponsor of the resistance organization. ”

"Oh, I see, you only started an armed uprising some time ago, didn't you? Don't worry, I'm looking forward to you standing with the Germans and kicking the British in the ass. ”

Lucia showed a look of sudden realization: "So everything makes sense, so, you are just involved in this incident by coincidence?" ”

"Yes, it's a coincidence."

"First evil gods, then vampires."

Lucia looked pity: "You're really unlucky, it's rare to see a low-level person who can survive something like you." ”

Zhang Huaisheng also thought so.

"But it also shows that you are a promising lad, are you interested in joining the Controllers Club?"

Zhang Huaisheng was a little puzzled: "But I'm not in control at all." ”

"Please, in the Steam Church, there are many butchers and hunters wearing exoskeleton mechas, so why don't we recruit some thugs in the Masters Club?"

Zhang Huaisheng hesitated, but still refused: "I'm sorry, ma'am, the Controller Club is just a regional organization in Boston, and I won't be leaving soon." ”

Under normal circumstances, joining such a "club" type of organization, although it is more loose and does not have to obey orders, requires a monthly or annual membership fee.

Zhang Huaisheng felt that he did not need to spend this unjust money, after all, his time in Boston was limited.

"You have a point."

Lucia nodded, and didn't insist anymore.

"By the way, what is the matter of the evil gods in Boston? Those people who attract the tide, have they all been cleaned up? ”

Lucia's eyes narrowed slightly, and a look of sorrow appeared on her face: "By the time we arrived, they had already run out, and I suspect that the damned god was developing his followers and performing miracles to them—and now, in Boston, pamphlets of the rituals of his worship have begun to circulate." ”

Zhang Huaisheng was stunned: "Believe in the evil god and keep safe?" ”

"That's right, no one wants to die without a trace like the people who live in these three blocks, they prefer to believe in the evil gods, hoping that the evil gods will open up to them the next time...

This kind of behavior is so stupid that if no one believes in Him, it won't be long before He will completely degenerate into an aberration, a giant sarcoma and explode at the bottom of the sea. ”

The evil god grabs faith in order to stabilize his own existence, so as to avoid completely falling into a state of chaos and disorder?

Zhang Huaisheng knows that aberration is like cancer cells, crazy fission and proliferation, but the potential of cells in the body is limited, and the final result of this will definitely be decay.

So the evil god is actually not a complete aberration, but in an intermediate state?

In layman's terms, it's just - crazy, but not completely crazy.

Zhang Huaisheng silently digested this information, and then said: "They just want to live, and fear of death should not be considered a shortcoming." ”

Boom –

Rolling thunder, like a roar of heaven, rumbling and exploding.

The rain began to fall almost instantly.

"But in the transcendent world, fear has always been the way to death."

Lucia glanced at him, one tall and one short, walking in the rain with large black umbrellas side by side.

Zhang Huaisheng sighed: "Where do ordinary people know about the transcendent world, their daily thoughts are spent on coal, flour, oil, and salt. ”

Lucia said with some sarcasm: "You just indirectly killed a dozen ordinary people. ”

Zhang Huaisheng shook his head and said, "Although the vampires are indeed provoked by me, it doesn't mean that the sin of killing them can be deducted from me." ”

He looked down at Lucia and said helplessly, "Ma'am, when you control this body, do you even have a similar personality?" ”

Lucia was stunned and let out a sharp voice: "You think I look like a?" ”

Isn't it like?

Zhang Huaisheng secretly complained.

But on the surface, he said, "It's for playing, right?" ”

Lucia got off the donkey and said, "Yes, that's right, it's for playing." ”

In fact, Zhang Huaisheng still has some understanding of the way of control, and this way of playing is clearly that of the Sequence 8 Corpse Whisperer, not the Sequence 6 magician.

"What's your name?"

Zhang Huaisheng thought about it, but still didn't make up a fake name, but said: "Just call me Zhang, as for the name, it doesn't matter." ”

"Good, you didn't lie to me."

Lucia nodded with satisfaction: "Now that I know your surname and breath, as long as you are in Boston, I can find you at any time, and if there is anything I need your cooperation in the investigation, I will find you again." ”

She didn't ask Zhang Huaisheng how he got into trouble with vampires, it had nothing to do with her.

"Madam, I am willing to cooperate with the investigation at any time, after all, I have escaped from the hands of that evil god, and I have killed a lot of tide movers, and I think I have greatly offended that crown."

"So, more than anyone else, I want to get rid of his threat as soon as possible."

"I believe in you."

Lucia bowed slightly.

"Oh, by the way, there's a clue to warn you, I suspect that Mr. Levi may have something to do with the evil gods, and I fled with him that day for three blocks..."

Zhang Huaisheng described several details of his suspicions.

"That's right, you suspect him for good reason, and I must thank you for this part of the clue."

Zhang Huaisheng hesitated, but still said: "But it may also be that he was deceived by the evil god... If he is an ordinary person, he can do very little. ”

"I understand."

Lucia smiled: "As the master, you won't wronged a good person, can you lend me your hat and use it?" ”

"Of course, ma'am."

Zhang Huaisheng took off his hat.

Lucia pressed his hat on top of her head with one hand: "Goodbye, Zhang, remember not to get drenched in the rain, it rains too much in Boston, but you will be bald." ”

She let go of her hand.

When the hat fell, it fell directly to the ground as if there was no support underneath.

And the original Lucia has also disappeared without a trace.

"It's a good hand."

The corners of Zhang Huaisheng's mouth curled slightly, this is how the magician in the middle sequence plays - Ms. Lucia may also have a part-time job in the circus.

Just thinking about it, large drops of rain fell on his face.

When I looked up, the big black umbrella had turned into a torn newspaper full of holes.

He subconsciously remembered what Lucia said before leaving: "Goodbye, Zhang, remember not to get drenched in the rain, Boston is getting too much rain, but you will be bald." ”
