Chapter 22: The Pursuers and the Church
Less than a minute later, a string of figures slid down the ladder in the dark night and hid in a nearby alley.
At the head were Yager and Klein.
"Is there any place you can go?" Yager asked in a low voice.
In the shadow of the alley, Klein looked at Ian, and then at the street behind him, where the lights in the hands of the Zmanger could already be seen in the distance, and replied sadly, "Church." ”
When he was undecided, he hid in the church.
Xiao Ke has always trusted the safety index of the official family, even if he is suspected of being a homeless man in the middle of the night.
Yager nodded.
The Church should be the most protected and most defense-free against extraordinary dangers.
In that case, could he also use this excuse to go in and have a look?
A silent thought came to mind again.
Rubbing his forehead, he said to the people who had all gathered in the alley, "In that case, how about we go to the door of the church closest to the East End and go our separate ways?" ”
Ian and Klein nodded their heads.
"I'll forget it, I'll go back to the dock union myself." Williams replied. He was confident that it had nothing to do with him, so there was no need to go to a church that didn't welcome a gangster like him.
"Okay." Yager bowed his head at him, "Thank you very much for your help today. ”
"It's okay, it's okay," Williams waved his hand repeatedly, "as long as you can give us people from the East End a little help." ”
A little help? 100 million points of help!
Crane, who was standing next to him, complained inwardly.
Did this demigod come out in disguise? Otherwise, there should be someone to curry favor with one after another, and the impact that a demigod can have on Beckland is immeasurable.
He had not thought at all about the possibility that the two of them did not have a combined deposit of fifty pounds at present.
"I will." Looking at the approaching Zmange party behind him, Yager did not continue to say more.
He came to the East End today to gain a lot of money, not only got the clues of Lenze and Bill, but also saw the direction of the follow-up investigation.
A trip to Kaping's villa in these two days should be able to completely close this case.
"I know a few shortcuts, you come with me." Williams, who had received Yager's assurance, cast a grateful look and walked into the dark alley first. The identity of the head snake in the Eastern District has been fully exerted in the matter of escaping.
Crane, who was still thinking about it in his heart, quickly stopped and followed.
The rest followed, silently disappearing into the night of the East End.
.....
A few hundred meters away, Rosago, who was chasing them, looked puzzled.
He looked at the watch in his hand.
I don't know why, but the divination that had been showing great danger since the morning suddenly turned out to be better, was it because the detective named Sherlock Moriarty left home? He has dangerous extraordinary items in his home?
No, don't worry, anyway, after receiving the order of Ambassador Bakerron, he must finish this detective and the spy in the East Side tonight.
Rosago lowered his cuffs, recovering the dial, and confidently chased in the direction of several people.
He knew that what these extraordinary people liked to do most was to go to church and hide when something went wrong, but it didn't matter, the Zmanga Party controlled the shortcut to church in the East End.
He will be waiting for them at the end of the road.
......
On the other side, a group of people who don't know anything about it, but know and don't particularly worry, are running down the alley full of stagnant water.
The team of only four figures eerily stepped on five splashes of water.
In the process of escaping, Yager deliberately pulled Klein and landed at the end of the group.
Of course, the others, especially Miss Sharon, the 'Resentful Spirit', who only Yager could see, did not fail to notice, but did not dare to notice under the oppression of the demigods.
Miss Sharon, with a cold expression, appeared at the front of the line early.
"Tarot will?" Yager asked in a low voice.
Crane was startled, trying to control his poker face.
How can you see it? No wonder the bishop didn't continue to attack them before, because he found out that he had something to do with the Fool!
So his identity saved him once.
That's actually pretty good. The Bishop did not realize that he and the Fool were the same person, and he did not have to rack his brains to find a way to make the Fool slip on his knees, thus saving his position in the Tarot Society.
"Yes, I am a servant of Mr. Fool." Crane replied in an angry voice, glancing at his companions who were about to disappear around the corner of another street.
"I see, that's what the dependents meant." Yager muttered to himself in a cold voice.
What does it mean to be a dependent?
Klein wondered if the connection between him and Grey Mist could be seen in reality.
At times, Nick was overly optimistic.
Jager was simply 'illiterate'.
In his vision, the gray mist had merged with Klein. He might have been able to discern the nature of their connection with a deeper spiritual vision, but in order to avoid the gaze of the true God, he only glanced at it superficially.
Unfortunately, he was a foreigner, otherwise this information would have been enough for him to know that this meant more than just the favor of the gods.
"If I help you solve this problem, can I exchange some knowledge with Mr. Fool?" Skipping the question of dependents, the first thing that comes to mind is the reward.
You can't work for free.
Especially just now, Miss Sharon has proven that Sequence Five is nothing more than that.
Klein laughed dryly, "I'm just an ordinary dependent, and there's no way to ask Mr. Fool to pay for me." However, I am willing to compensate as much as I can pay for it. ”
Just kidding, he didn't announce the task at the Tarot meeting at that time because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to pay your salary!
Fools can't pull it out!
Although he most likely doesn't have anything that the demigods are interested in, he always tries to avoid being abandoned by the bishop who has nothing to do with it.
To his surprise, though, the bishop agreed.
"Well, you can try it too." Yager thought for a moment, "Do you know anything about the Goddess of the Night?" ”
Goddess?
Klein was stunned for a moment, recalling the question of the bishop at the Tarot meeting before.
The real name of the god associated with the moon.
If anything, the goddess of the night is actually related to the moon, because the gesture of praying to the goddess is a new moon.
"I don't know the esoteric secrets, only common sense, which one do you want to know?"
"Common sense will do the trick. For example, the law enforcement forces of the Church of the Night, or its leader, is about a sequence. Yager casually listed a few.
"The Extraordinary Ones team of the Church of the Night are the Night Watchmen, and they are mainly responsible for the security of the surrounding towns of the Church, I mean, the kind of security related to the Extraordinary. Beckland also has special duty units called the Red Gloves, which are responsible for more serious cases. ”
Klein's face was strange, and the more he talked, the more he felt that something was wrong.
"As for the captains of the squads..... It's about sequence seven, but I don't know. ”
There was a little doubt in his heart.
Known: The Bishop is not an official member of the Church, is powerful, and intends to avoid Kingdom institutions such as MI9, most likely a covert organization or a wild demigod.
Solving: Why did he ask about the fighting apparatus of the Church of the Night?
Solution: He wants to go to the Night Church to do something.
Goddess Believer Klein's expression contorted.
