Chapter 285 284. The plan must continue

In this seemingly never-ending ball, there was only one person who did not dance.

He looked to be in his 40s, dressed like a pianist, and was sitting in the corner of the ballroom, playing with his hands in the air, as if there was a piano in front of him.

Although he could not play a single note, the pianist was still full of intoxication and forgetfulness, his head held high, his eyes closed, and he shook his head as if he was playing hard.

The performance continued until six o'clock in the morning, when the upper echelons of the dance floor fell limply to the floor and remained motionless, as if they had finally had their fun.

The pianist gets up from the invisible piano and bows and waves to the surroundings, as if thanking the audience for their love and applause.

However, there was no more movement in the room, except for the melody that had been looping all night on the gramophone......

But the pianist was completely intoxicated by the atmosphere he had imagined, greedily breathing in the turbid air around him, as if he was reminiscing about his wonderful performance.

It wasn't until there was a knock outside the door next to him that he slowly came back to his senses and said:

"Come in."

A young man dressed as a waiter walked into the ballroom, glanced at the high-class people on the floor, seemed surprised by this, and said nothing, but ran quickly to the pianist, and handed him a small message.

As soon as the pianist saw the contents of the message, his brows furrowed, and the excitement and enjoyment on his face vanished in an instant.

"How is this possible? When did it happen? ”

"Last Night......

"Who did it?"

"It should be the Brilliant Order, and an investigation team called 'Live and Work in Peace'."

"No, I need to be more detailed, specific to a specific person."

"I'm afraid it will take some time to investigate......"

"Damn! Our God, our Lord, hates nothing more than waiting! ”

The pianist was a little anxious, and hurriedly pushed the waiter away, left the ballroom, and went to the basement, and then quickly prepared a large number of divination tools.

He looked flustered, very anxious, as if he was a few seconds slower and something bad would happen.

After some preparations, he ignored the various taboos of divination, and asked bluntly:

"Who killed the deacon of the Shining City? Who killed the deacon of the Shining City? Who killed the deacon of the Shining City? ”

After questioning three times in a row, the mirrors and candles in front of him gave him a result, and after some interpretation, he took out the map and wrote and drew on it, directly depicting the murderer's appearance.

Then he folded the piece of paper on which the murderer's face was recorded in half, put it in an envelope, and hurried out of the basement, calling the waiter from before, and asking him to drive him from the manor in the suburbs to the center of the city of vanity.

On the road, he kept urging:

"Faster! This time the situation was so serious that I had to consult with a few priests about this time. ”

But in order to hide his eyes, the pianist got out of the car two blocks ahead of schedule and prepared to walk to his destination.

But before getting out of the car, he handed the waiter the envelope depicting the murderer's face, and commanded:

"Find some people and bring this guy to me from the Shining City, and I must execute him before the Juggernaut to appease the Juggernaut's wrath...... Remember! Gotta live! ”

After that, he also added:

"Remember to find some powerful and ruthless characters, and don't be afraid to spend more money."

The waiter nodded vigorously, put the envelope close to him, and then drove away from the pianist.

The pianist tidied up his attire, straightened his top hat to make himself look normal and decent, and then took his cane and went to a cigar club two blocks away.

In one of the lavishly decorated private conference rooms, he spotted several other high-ranking members of the 'Follow the Mad Sect'.

They were all priests who were responsible for worshipping and pleasing the Lord, and the first of them was the High Priest, who was the closest to the Lord in the entire sect.

But at this moment, all the high-level officials were solemn and uneasy, and they were all frightened.

As soon as the pianist took his seat, the high priest at the head brought an even heavier bomb:

"Juggernaut...... Some are tired, may need a period of deep sleep, and there will be a time when we will not be able to answer our prayers. ”

"Tired? Sleeping? ”

The pianist suddenly showed a stunned expression, as if he had heard two completely unfamiliar terms.

Or rather, he didn't want to believe that the Juggernaut would have such a human condition.

"How is this possible?"

"Lord Him...... Got some injuries......"

Another priest next to him whispered.

"This ......"

The pianist felt as if his breathing and heartbeat were about to stop, and he was completely petrified in his seat.

How could the Juggernaut be injured?

How can such an existence be injured?

He is clearly on a level completely out of reach of human beings, and who can hurt Him?

Unless......

"Sage?"

The pianist thought of the only possible answer.

Only the foolish saints of mankind have the possibility of reaching the master.

The other priest next to him nodded, and replied:

"Yes, and there is more than one, I'm afraid there are at least three Sages at the same time."

"Denied? Law? What else? ”

The pianist asked again.

"It's not clear for the time being, it may be shelter or manifestation, I am inclined to the latter, humanity currently needs the seventh Sage, and the Embodying Sage is the most motivated to make a move."

The high priest at the head made some speculation.

Another priest added:

"So together they laid this trap, killing our deacons in the Shining City and destroying our holy place there, and in doing so, luring the Juggernaut to attack and ambush him?"

"It should be like this, these people are really insidious and cunning, and despicable and shameless!"

The high priest scolded viciously.

"So what should we do now? How can we express our piety to the Lord? ”

Another priest asked.

"It will take some time for the Juggernaut to recover, no one knows how long it will take, and the help that we ants can provide is destined to be minimal...... However, Lord Juggernaut has not given instructions to terminate the operation, so our current plan must be continued. ”

As he spoke, the High Priest looked around at the faces of the people in the room, and noticing the look of embarrassment on everyone's faces, and continued:

"I know that it will be very difficult for us to confront the Order without the protection of the Lord, so we must be careful and prove our ability and devotion to the Lord in our own strength."

In fact, not everyone feels very heavy, at least the pianist secretly breathes a sigh of relief in his heart.

As the deacon who carried out the plan, he was very afraid that the Juggernaut would blame himself for the defeat on the Shining City side and punish him for it.

It was absolutely unimaginable pain and horror......

But thankfully, the Juggernaut doesn't seem to be holding himself accountable for the time being.

I also have more time to catch the gangster who killed the deacon.

So he spoke:

"Before I came, I did some divination, found the murderer of the deacon, and I have arranged for people to go to the side of the Bright City to find that guy, and then I will bring that person to the side of the City of Vanity, and use his blood and wailing to appease the anger in the heart of the master!"

"Well, well done!"

The High Priest nodded, and complimented again:

"If everyone in our sect had your agility and loyalty, we wouldn't be so embarrassed......

As soon as he finished speaking, a priest next to him interrupted:

"But what about the plans in that direction of the Shining City? With the loss of the Holy Land, there is no safe area for activity even if a new deacon is sent over. ”

"Hmm...... Truly...... The Shining City side is the most crucial part of the plan, and I must not give up, I will find a way to take out another holy place and put it in the hands of a trusted deacon. ”

The high priest said, looking at the pianist.

The rest of the people present also looked at each other.

The pianist waved his hand in embarrassment.

"This ...... The Shining City side is the most crucial part of the plan, and with my current strength, I'm afraid it's a bit ......."

"Strength is not important, the important thing is a quick mind, careful thinking, courage and responsible character, so you are the most suitable person, as for the strength you are worried about, don't care, I will give you two fifth-level holy relics for self-defense."

As he spoke, the high priest immediately gave generously, and took out a very valuable ceremonial dagger and a bright gold necklace from his bosom.

Seeing this, the other priests followed suit, each taking out holy relics, potions, transcendent materials, and large checks to express their support and favor for the pianist.

The pianist hurriedly showed a flattered look, although his mouth was still modest, his heart was already happy.

In fact, he had long felt that the Bright City side, as the core part of the plan, should be responsible for it from the beginning.

Although the pressure over there is very high and the risk is high, it is easier to get the resources of the sect and the favor and protection of the master.

It is easier for one to become the Lord's Dependent, to the top of the sect, and even to become the Agent of the Lord's Reality, to dominate the entire world.

So he has always been annoyed that he couldn't go to the Bright City, and can only play boring games with those boring upper-class people on the side of the Void City.

Although they are all prominent people, it is precisely because of their status that they can not do much to them, and they will be monitored and restricted by the priests.

It's not like the Bright City, where you can do whatever you want and be free.

Fortunately, the opportunity has come now, and looking at the various gifts that have been piled up in front of him, the pianist knows that the opportunity he has been waiting for has finally come.

The high priest also said:

"Do a good job, as long as everything goes well on the side of the Shining City, when the Lord awakens, he will definitely make you his favorite, and by then, even I will have to prostrate at your feet."

"No, no, you don't need to be like this."

The pianist was still pretending to be modest, but a discordant voice suddenly came out next to him:

"Just laugh if you want to, I see you've been holding back for a long time, it's very hard."

"Huh?"

The pianist was stunned, turned his head to look at the source of the sound, and wanted to see who was so unable to speak, and actually said what was in his heart?

As a result, he saw a middle-aged man with an unfamiliar face, squinting at himself with a playful smile.

"Who are you?"

The pianist jumped to his feet and looked at the high priest beside him.

But at some point, that position had been replaced by a grim-faced inquisitor, who was looking at him with a look of interest, as if he was looking forward to his next performance.

And the other priests in the room all vanished, replaced by a room full of judges and crusaders, with weapons in their hands, faintly pointing at themselves.

The pianist suddenly shook his head and realized that something was wrong.

For example, why do all the priests of the sect gather together, when everyone is scattered in various cities?

For example, why did the high priest, who had always been disdainful and distrustful of himself, suddenly think so highly of himself.

"This ...... What ...... [story] am I? Well, that's right, but now that I'm awake and aware that I'm in the middle of [the story], it's not a big deal......"

He said as if comforting himself.

But the middle-aged man spread his hands helplessly and explained:

"No, I'm from [Projection]...... It was you who suddenly rushed into our conference room, talked a lot about yourself, and even played multiple roles by yourself, showing excellent acting skills. ”

"Ah......h

The pianist was stunned, realizing that his perception and thinking might have been inadvertently disturbed.

He immediately burst out and prepared to force his way out.

But in this small conference room, there were dozens of people, who immediately rushed up and pressed him in place.

Why is this happening?

The pianist's cheek was pressed against the floor, and his knees were pressed against his neck, his face full of disbelief.

My power...... What about the refuge from the Lord?

Don't...... Juggernaut gave up on me?

Or is it ......

Did He really fall into a deep sleep because of his injuries?

Before he could think clearly, he suddenly felt a flower in front of him, and bursts of 'narration' that directly penetrated into his brain began to come from his ears:

"You are a street wanderer who, under the influence of an unexpected opportunity, witnessed a cult ritual and decided to report it to the Order......"

This is the real story.

Although the pianist still wanted to resist, he couldn't resist the invasion of the 'narrator' at all, and soon assumed his own 'role' and began to explain the various cult acts in his memory.

At the same time, at the bar of a speakeasy, the pianist's waiter handed the bartender an entire envelope.

The other party is the ruthless character that the pianist wants, and is known for being ruthless, treacherous and cunning.

But the waiter was not afraid, and he came with a letter from the deacon, and the other party did not dare to do anything to him.

When the bar had opened the envelope, he said:

"This man is in the Shining City, find him, and bring him to me."

The bartender glanced at the letter, and a man with a broad waist next to him gave him a look.

The latter grabbed the waiter by the neck and pinned him to the bar, then pulled out a dagger and wiped his cheek and stared at the table.

"Ahh......h My neck...... What are you doing? ”

The waiter asked as he screamed.

"Looks like you don't know yet, I hate being tricked the most."

"What?"

"This is the person you're looking for?"

The bartender slapped the letter in front of the waiter.

The waiter rolled his eyes with great difficulty, glancing at the contents of the letter.

With simple brushstrokes, a vivid pattern is depicted on it:

ヽ(○^^)

"I ...... This one...... It's not ......"

The waiter stopped talking for a while, not knowing how to explain the content of the letter that the pianist handed over to him was like this?

Thank you Tianlong Nine Babies for rewarding me with 100 points!

Thank you Uncle Steamed Bun for rewarding me with 5,000 points!

Thank you so much!
