Chapter 19: The Most Religious Believers
Zotland Street, inside the Black Thorn Security Company.
Seeing that it was about to be lunchtime, Klein was reading the newspaper. Smith came to the civilian office, and in a low and mellow voice, he said:
"Klein, you and I are on a trip to Chanisgate, Seal '2-049' has arrived, and your actions may require you to sense the notebook."
"Okay." Klein put down the newspaper and followed Dunn. Smith entered Chanis Gate together.
Of the four people who escorted the seal, Crane knew only one Leonard, and the remaining three had never met. At this time, the four of them were doing arm flexion stretches, looking particularly funny.
However, Crane soon stopped laughing, and due to the special nature of the seal '2-049', he also joined the 'Do Arm Stretch' activity.
Without delay, a few people first took the seal to Riel. Bieber's original residence, where Klein also saw the seal's true face, a clown-like doll with oil paint on its face.
With the seal to lead the way, Klein soon found himself in the docks, and as he watched the clown doll work so hard, he couldn't help but think:
"Is its desperate search for the descendants of the House of Antigonus a sign of faithfulness or a model of deception?"
Thinking of this, Klein couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth.
"Dunn. Inspector Smith, didn't you say there was something important today? Approaching the scene of the crime, a chubby policeman greeted everyone in the night watch squad from a distance, with an ugly face.
He went to Dunn in the morning. Smith was rejected when he was handling the case, and now the other party took the initiative to come to the scene of the crime, obviously slapping him in the face.
Dunn frowned at the 'arm flex stretch', and when the policeman came to him in the morning, he didn't take the case to heart, because Antigonus' notes were far more important than ordinary transcendent events.
"I think what I'm going to do coincides with you." Dunn. Smith was doing the 'arm flex extension' and couldn't help but want to complain about the coincidence.
He led the transcendent who escorted the seal to the front of the warehouse, and at a glance he saw the corpse in the warehouse, and there were several tarot cards scattered on the corpse, and the "Wheel of Fortune" card happened to fall right in the middle.
"Crane, use your divination to confirm your identity." Dunn. Smith walked over to the corpse, picked up the Antigonus notebook from the corpse, and looked through it.
Things were going well and it was a little out of order, which made him wary.
The moment he saw the tarot cards, Klein subconsciously thought of his tarot meeting, such a blatant killing, it can't be his own members, right?
If it is really its own member, there may be only one "fate" in Tingen.
"No, Mr. Fate's personality is very high, this low-level killing method is not him, it should be his dependents." Crane had a final conclusion about what happened, and he couldn't help but feel the strength of Mr. Fate.
With just one family member in Tingen, Mr. Destiny was able to solve a problem that the Night Watch team had been unable to solve for a long time, and Mr. Destiny was truly unfathomable.
This also explains why Antigonus' notes remain in the warehouse, and in the person of Mr. Fate, the power of the notes is not visible.
"Okay......" Crane agreed, and he entered an ethereal state, silently reciting the divination words, and the crystal pendant turned clockwise.
"Captain, this is Riel. Bieber's corpse. Klein affirmed.
Dunn. Smith frowned, and if Rare. Bieber believed that he was out of control because of absorbing the extraordinary power in the notebook, but judging from the situation on the scene, Rare. Bieber apparently died from the shooting.
"Wait, it's a demon hunting bullet!" Snatch that bullet from the fat cop, Dunn. Smith already had the judgment to kill Riel. Bieber's supposed to be a powerful transcendent is no accident.
Riel. Bieber's own combat power is not strong, only equivalent to half a sequence nine, but Antigonus Notes is not an ordinary transcendent thing.
"At least a Sequence Seven transcendent, he has extraordinary mystical powers, and even makes Riel . Bieber didn't have time to resist. "Dunn. Smith made up his mind, and he asked Klein to soothe Riel again. Whether Bieber's cause of death has something to do with a mysterious power.
Crane entered an ethereal state again, the crystal necklace in his hand swayed slightly, and then stopped.
This shows that his divination has been interfered with, and the other party has the ability to counter-divination.
"I can't tell the story." Crane put away the crystal necklace and said regretfully.
He was not surprised by this result, according to the person of Mr. Fate, it was normal that he could not divination.
"I see." Dunn. Smith had already made up his mind that the inability to divination must mean that the matter was related to mysterious powers, which made him realize once again the horror of murderers.
"The killer just killed Riel. Bieber, but did not take the Antigonus notes, either because there was something hidden, or because the other party did not take the notebook in his eyes at all. "Dunn. Smith couldn't help but think.
The mission stopped before it even began, Dunn. Smith had no choice but to leave with the Nightwatcher team, believing that the Esoteric Order would abandon the Antigonus Notes, despite the fact that this transcendent thing was not ordinary.
He had just left the docklands when suddenly, a clown with oil paint on his face appeared in the distance of Dunn's vision, with a red nose.
……
By noon, Lewis had regained his spirituality and the runaway phenomenon had been curbed.
After a battle in the morning, he understood the power of the magical items in his body, and at the same time, he understood the limitations of the magical items.
"With my current personality, I can only change the fate of a sequence nine, and this is still when the luck value is full. If the other party absorbs the power of notes more, before the magical item can take effect, I will lose control due to spiritual consumption. ”
Thinking of the loss of control in the morning, Lewis was still afraid for a while, and he must not use the power of the Key of Light until he had to do so in the future, which would probably push him to another abyss.
Lewis hurried to find the black candle, and after all this effort, he still did not get the notes of Antigonus, and his livelihood was about to be in difficulty. The family had less than a hundred pounds of possessions left, which was by no means a significant number.
And the culprit of all this is the goddess of the night, and now, he wants to ask the goddess of the night for payment.
With the ceremony set up, Lewis recited the prayer.
"I pray for the power of the night;
I pray for the power of Crimson;
I pray for the Goddess's favor;
Pray for me to be given 10,000 pounds in exchange for notes;
O night vanilla, herbs belonging to the Red Moon, please pass on the power to my spell
O moon flower, the herb that belongs to the red moon, please pass on the power to my spell......"
As Lewis finished reading the prayer, he took out a piece of parchment, drew the shape of a lottery ticket on the parchment, and lit it in front of a black and red candle.
Suddenly, the red and black candles were abruptly extinguished, and the parchment quickly turned to ashes.
A strange wind blew within the spiritual wall, and the pile of ashes formed a single word.
"Get out!"
"Storm...... No! …… Goddess, you can't do this to your most devout believers. Lewis looked at the words before the ceremony, and couldn't help but get annoyed, and snatched his Antigonus notes, and even refused to give ten thousand pounds of labor fees.
The spiritual wall shattered, and a strange wind swept up Lewis, leaving him on the wall.
Lewis looked at everything in front of him blankly, he was actually disgusted by the goddess, this is not occult!
"Perhaps, the goddess does not want to see me, and I should try to believe in other gods." Lewis patted the dust off his body and put on his top hat.
