Chapter 201: Apostle of Desire (Monday Recommendation Ticket Monthly Pass)
At the same time as Stuart raised his gun to aim, Crane, who had been on guard, had already noticed it, and almost in no particular order moved forward with the opponent, and threw himself to the ground.
Bang!
Visibly out of control, Stuart pulled the trigger, and the bullet grazed the side of a private detective's face and hit the wall.
Brushing and brushing, the rest of the detectives pulled out their revolvers, as if to see who was the enemy, and the scene was chaotic.
Among them, Stuart and a private investigator have red faces, bulging muscles, and "fire" of fear and anger burning in their eyes, as if they have become so-called demons.
At this moment, Kaslana let out a low roar:
"Stop!"
Her voice was not loud, but it was full of majesty, which made everyone present tremble, and they unconsciously wanted to comply.
The scene was quiet for a short time, but the mood of the crowd did not seem to improve substantially, and Crane had rolled in the other direction and stood up, his own revolver in his hand.
His mind was racing, and he didn't care about hiding his secrets, intending to use his hallucinatory abilities to calm down a few visitors.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Jingle Bell!
Several private detectives snapped into their wit, and their eyes were a little clear.
The light doorbell sounded like a basin of cold water poured over their heads.
Stuart looked at the revolver in his hand and whispered blankly:
"What was I doing......
Crane breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the revolver, and approached the gate.
As soon as he grasped the handle, his mind was already naturally looking like a person outside the door.
It was Issinger Stanton, with gray temples and a thin face, wearing a deer-hunting hat and a black coat.
The detective's face was a little pale, and his left arm was raised above his shoulder.
He's really fine!Klein was overjoyed at first, and then became cautiousβhe remembered that the "Master of Secret Puppets" Rosago had become an acquaintance of the policeman to cheat him.
Crane pressed his finger to the trigger, pulled the door open, and took two steps back.
Isenger Stanton smiled and nodded at him:
"Thank you for visiting this afternoon, otherwise I might not have been able to continue playing hide-and-seek with that demon as I was injured.
"You saved my life. β
This...... Could it be that the correct interpretation of "it is appropriate to visit Issinger Stanton" is that going to him this afternoon will help him get out of danger? What about the "good place to visit" in the next few days? Staggering the murder scene without being suspected? Klein was a little laughed at for a moment.
He did not let his guard down and got out of the way:
"What the hell is going on?"
"Wait a minute. Issinger suddenly lowered his voice and laughed, "Do you want to discuss the topic of the Extraordinary in front of the Stuarts?"
Also, the fact that I was able to stalemate with the owner of that demon dog for more than ten minutes was enough to show that I was not an ordinary person...... And I've also provided advice that deliberately points to demonized animals...... Klein quietly trailed Issinger Stanton by two steps.
Upon seeing this great detective, Kaslana and her assistant Lydia immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and Stuart and other private investigators also showed reassuring expressions.
"Are you alright, Mr. Stanton?" they asked.
Esinger moved his left arm slightly and said:
"There was a little bit of an injury, but it wasn't too serious.
"Okay, don't be nervous, it's going to pass soon, and the police are waiting for that guy in the darkness nearby. β
"Is it because of that serial murder?"
"Have you locked up the suspect?"
"Will he hurt innocents?"
......
The private investigators scrambled to ask.
Isenger pressed down with his right palm:
"Don't worry, I'll tell you in detail, but before I do that, I have a few questions for Sherlock and Kaslana, so let's go to the living room for a few minutes. β
His long-accumulated prestige made the detectives sit down separately without refuting it.
Although they are still not at ease, they no longer have the problem of restlessness and emotional out-of-control.
Entering the living room and closing the wooden door, Crane looked at the closed room and suddenly thought of something:
This environment is perfect for "biotoxin bottle" type items!
Cough...... Crane cleared his throat, walked to the opposite side, and opened the glass window.
He still hasn't let his guard down on Issinger Stanton, and he doesn't even think that Kaslana can be trusted.
Issinger looked around, took Klein's easy chair directly, and then laughed:
"I'm older, and I still like to sit like this. β
Crane sat down on the single sofa and asked again:
"Mr. Stanton, what the hell is going on?"
Issinger glanced at Caslana behind the coffee table and said:
"We're all extraordinary, so I'm not going to explain common sense concepts. β
"The extraordinary?" Kaslana looked at Klein and then at Isengard, slightly surprised but not too surprised.
So you're extraordinary...... Why was I stumped by a weak ghost in the first place, and I didn't even see what the problem was...... Well, maybe it's a sequence that isn't good at dealing with ghostly creatures...... Crane responded to Kaslana's gaze.
Isenger smiled and said:
"I studied in Lemburg for four years, where I came into contact with the otherworldly world and became a believer in the god of knowledge and wisdom.
"After returning to Beckland, I gradually established a good relationship with the military, the Church of the Night Goddess, and the Church of Steam and the Church of the Mechanical God, but I still didn't dare to really reveal my identity, because the substitute punisher would definitely eliminate me as a cultist, and other official organizations would not directly help me in this matter, because that would be tantamount to starting a war with the Church of the Lord of Storms.
"A church worthy of tyrants. β
"Tyrant?" Klein asked casually.
Isinger took out his pipe, but only sniffed the tobacco:
"This is the name given to the Lord of the Storm within our church.
"Okay, let me go back to today's matter first, the person who attacked me, the person who sent you the threatening letter, is the owner of the murderer of the previous serial murder, hehe, you should know that the murderer is a black dog of the 'demon' sequence, especially Sherlock, you first pointed out that the demon may be an animal. β
Klein smiled, not denying or admitting. Kaslana also just clasped her hands and didn't say anything.
Esinger shook his head and laughed:
"You don't have to worry, I'm not an enforcer, and as a believer in the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, I can't preach in Beckland, I can't formally establish an organization, I can only rely on you and people like you to help. β
In other words, you can help us take the blame?" Klein teased in his heart.
Seeing that they still didn't admit it, Esinger continued:
"The owner of that demon dog is a strong man in Sequence 5, and as far as I know, Sequence 5 of the 'Demon' path is called 'Apostle of Desire', which can use and manipulate everyone's emotions and desires to lure them into falling.
"When facing the 'Apostle of Desire', there must not be too strong mood fluctuations, and there must not be too obvious desires, otherwise they will be controlled remotely by him immediately, or plant seeds, or directly catalyze.
"This can expose a lot of problems, gradually degenerate, or lose control of emotions at critical moments, and cannot resist...... These are just some of the extraordinary abilities of the Apostle of Desire, and I confirmed this in my battle with him. β
Hearing this, Klein Huo Ran understood one of the reasons why the other party put a threatening letter and made a provocative move:
He wants to provoke himself and cause his emotions to fluctuate violently, so as to achieve the goal of planting the seeds of depravity or catalyzing emotions to make them explode out of control!
This will make his subsequent assaults easy and easy!
Fortunately, I have seen extraordinary people who have experienced a lot of things, and there was only vigilance and caution at that time...... Stuart: It was when they saw the threatening letter that they had obvious emotional changes, so they were planted by the "Apostle of Desire......
If they hadn't been stabilized in time just now, the scene would have become chaotic from within, leaving the surrounding officials with no time to react, leaving ample opportunities for the "Apostle of Desire......
I felt that time was slow at Issinger Stanton's house before, because the sudden appearance of vigilance, tension, and vigilance was amplified?
Klein recalled, with a wave of rejoicing.
"I see...... "Kaslana also seemed to understand a lot of things.
Isenger rubbed his forehead and said:
"I was almost manipulated by him, and I was injured as a result, and then I used a magical object to hide and seek him in the house, until Sherlock came to visit and the three parties stalemate, and I was given a chance to breathe.
"My poor assistant was looking forward to returning to Lunberg for Mass on New Year's Day. β
At this, he let out a long sigh.
"When the police arrived, I took the opportunity to escape, and then I escaped with the help of the river. Isenger added, "Sherlock, Kaslana, what are you going to do?"
Kaslana was silent for a moment and said:
"What do you suggest, Mr. Stanton?"
Isenger says:
"Accept official protection first, so that the 'Apostle of Desire' does not dare to act, and hope that he will be caught or killed soon.
"If that idea is not realized, it is impossible for the official to send people to protect us all the time, then we only have two choices, one is to change the identity of ourselves and our families with their help, and live in a different place, but no one can guarantee that the 'Apostle of Desire' will not find out, and the other is to directly join the corresponding official organization and become a peripheral member, which will also have a change in identity and residence, but it is safer. β
Join the corresponding official organization, the Heart of the Machine, or go to places like Lenberg Marcy and join the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom? Am I not a three-family believer? Klein inexplicably felt a sense of absurdity.
He thoughtfully asked:
"Is there no other way?"
At the same time, Kaslana's expression did not change, and she did not know what she was thinking.
Eisinger Stanton rubbed his pipe and said:
"Yes, that is, we will join forces to create an opportunity to find and hold back the 'Apostle of Desire' as soon as possible.
"Of course, the perfect result would be to kill him outright. β
