Chapter 371: Abnormal Aura

Arriving in the streets, the cold wind swept through the open space between the buildings and blew on her face, causing Agatha to come to her senses.

However, in her mind, there was still a series of questions that almost shook her three views and reshaped her cognition--

"Don't you give bonuses to enthusiastic citizens who actively report cult clues?

"You haven't used a bank account? Your church doesn't usually come into contact with ordinary people's lives?

"You didn't see it was a bank account?

Agatha never imagined in her life that the biggest gaffe she had when dealing with a transcendent being would be in this situation.

And she was quite convinced that Bishop Ivan of the Cathedral and the group of cryptographers and soothsayers who were still gathering in the church to study the "secret number" would not be much different from her reaction when the time came.

Footsteps came from the side, and several subordinates who had been staying in the shelter near the building walked out, and one of the black-clothed guards noticed the trance in Agatha's expression, and immediately became a little worried: "Are you okay?" In that house. . . …」

Agatha raised her hand and interrupted her subordinates, she glanced back, then picked up her cane and slowly walked towards the steam cart not far away, while slowly speaking: "Don't disturb the occupants of this house, inform the local church, and keep the guardians away from here - the Great Chapel of Silence will directly take over the docking and communication with this place."

"Yes, Gatekeeper," the black-clad guard immediately bowed his head in order, and then couldn't help but ask, "You....... Need a break?"

Agatha paused and sighed, "Alas.... If I can, I will seek psychological counseling from the nearest church or consult a reputable psychiatrist......

The subordinate was stunned: "Huh?"

"Don't worry, I don't need to rest," Agatha waved her hand, "Go back to the cathedral, we need to start searching the city-state's underground as soon as possible."

"The people of the church are gone," Morris said, standing in front of the window, watching the street outside, turning his head to Duncan after seeing the gray-blue steam cart pull out of the intersection, "I thought they had to leave at least a few 'eyes,'"

"The Gatekeeper's position in the Church of the Dead is equivalent to that of the Inquisitor of the Deep Sea Church, and she must fulfill her promise that if she says that she will not bother, then naturally there will be no small movements," Vana said on the side, "What's more, she knows that those 'small actions' are meaningless."

Duncan raised his eyelids and glanced at Fanna, "I thought you'd talk to the gatekeeper a little more, so you guys are together."

I can't think of anything to communicate with."

Vanna shook her head, "I'm a little awkward, whether it's as a Deep Sea Inquisitor or a member of the Lost Country, and it's only a hassle to establish communication with the Frost Church at this time.

Duncan snorted and didn't say much, but Nina next to her suddenly broke the silence curiously: "That 'gatekeeper, my sister looked a little excited before leaving, as if she had some plan.... She said

What is the search plan? Uncle, do you have an idea?"

Vanna and Morris looked at Duncan in unison, who nodded slightly after a brief mutter.

Although he was stunned at first, he also realized what was going on at this time - Agatha's reaction said one thing, after searching the main areas of the city-state to no avail, the attention of the Frost Church seemed to have turned to the dark underworld.

Second waterway.

In the past, due to high costs and practical implementation difficulties, the Frost authorities had allowed the second waterway left over from the Queen's era to lie dormant in the depths of the city-state, at most symbolically purifying and sealing the upper areas connecting the waterways, but now it seems that ..... They finally don't have to think about the cost.

Duncan looked up and said to Vanna, "You can visit Nemo's tavern again in the afternoon to remind him that there may be an operation against the Second Waterway in the near future, so let him and his colleagues pay attention."

The second waterway is huge, and Nemo and him

In fact, the "colleagues" control only a small part of the entire sewer system, this small part is very hidden, and it is consciously hidden and blocked, theoretically not noticed by the authorities and the church, but no one knows how determined the church is this time, so it is better to warn it.

"Also, the matter of Dagger Island is also very interesting," said Duncan after a moment's thought, "the disappearance of that island is obviously unreasonable, and I am afraid that something will happen in the future—Morris, you have been paying attention to all kinds of news in the city lately, especially in the city near the eastern port, to see if there are any unusual rumors that have occurred."

Morris nodded, "Understood."

"Remind Tirion afterwards that he should pay attention to the changes in that sea... …」

Duncan touched his chin and muttered to himself thoughtfully, wondering if he was missing something, when he suddenly saw Shirley approaching from the side.

Creeping and sneaky.

"What's wrong?" Duncan asked casually.

"It's not me, it's Dog," Shirley waved her hand quickly, and then raised her arm - the pitch-black chains emerged from the air, and Dog, who had been hastily hiding due to the appearance of the gatekeeper, appeared in front of Duncan, "Dog said that there is a situation to report to you"

"Situation?" Duncan frowned and looked at the shrunken ghostly hound, "What's the situation?"

Dog shook his ugly head, and then cautiously glanced up in the direction of the door, and then spoke: "I don't know if I feel wrong, the 'gatekeeper' named Agatha just now..... I always felt a familiar aura about her.......

There was some silence around him for a moment, and Duncan's eyes immediately became serious: "Familiar breath? What are you referring to? A ghostly demon?"

"No, it's not a ghostly demon," Ah Dog immediately shook his head, "I can't tell, you know, I have a vague memory of gaining the 'heart', but that breath.. It reminds me a little bit of the atmosphere I felt when I was around the Shadow Lord, well, the Shadow Lord."

As soon as Ah Dog said this, everyone looked at each other, and Duncan immediately said with a serious expression, "Why didn't you say it just now?

"I didn't dare to show my face just now!" Ah Gou shrunk his neck, "That's a gatekeeper - of course, she's certainly not your opponent, but now that Frost is hunting down the Annihilation Cultists and Demons all over the city, I'm afraid I won't be able to tell you clearly as soon as I show up, and I'll still delay your business in the end!"

There was some truth in Dog's explanation, and Duncan didn't dig into it, but the situation it reported was clearly beyond everyone's expectations.

Agatha, the gatekeeper of frost... How could there be the aura of a dark holy lord on his body?!

"Isn't it....... That gatekeeper has fallen? Or is it already contaminated?" Morris's expression was solemn, "But everything is normal in her behavior, and there is no problem with her speech and demeanor.

"Maybe she doesn't even know about it?" Shirley next to her cautiously interjected, "Isn't it said that cognitive pollution is the most difficult to detect, especially the person concerned."

Duncan didn't speak, just looked up at Vanna.

"It's not like she's depraved or polluted, and it's clearly not a fake," Fanna said slowly, frowning, recalling the details of Agatha's body just now, "And I don't feel anything unusual about her at all—dog, are you sure you feel right?"

"As I said, I'm not sure if I'm feeling wrong," Ah Dog said, his tone was very weak, "It's just a little bit of a very faint aura that reminds me of the deep sea....... Maybe it wasn't her. By the way, didn't she say that she had recently caught some Annihilationists? Although they are not important people, it is normal for me to deal with them every day lately, and I have some breath from the deep sea......

Duncan was still frowning.

Ah Gou's explanation sounded reasonable, but he always felt that things should not be so simple - a professional goddess official, the "gatekeeper" of the city-state, would get it right

Did the cultists forget to purify themselves after their interrogation? Will you allow yourself to walk around outside with the smell of a cultist?

Vanna stepped forward, "Do you want to get that 'gatekeeper back?" Or do we take the initiative to find her?"

"No, if she's really at risk of falling, or if she's connected to the Netherworld, any head-on contact could be startling," Duncan shook his head and looked up in the direction Agatha had left, "I'll keep an eye on this matter secretly, don't go and make contact with her."

Covert concern?

Vanna was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to ask Duncan what kind of attention he meant by "secret attention", but it seemed that something suddenly remembered - some memories came to her mind, and she immediately knew what was going on.

"You...... Already left a mark on her?

"She's seen me."

Duncan nodded slightly, and in his other vision, a small green flame was dancing softly in a position that was already some distance away.

That was the direction Agatha had gone.
