Chapter 68: A Moonlit Night
MI9's office building is located on Bellotto Street in the West End and is a small, unassuming-looking three-storey building.
It doesn't have any sign at the door that can identify itself, and it simply hangs a door number:
“9”
The core part of this office building is underground, and the upper part is mainly civilians, of course, most of the extraordinary people belonging to MI9 will not go underground if they have nothing to do, where the environment is not good, the atmosphere is depressing, and there is a possibility of accidents at any time due to improper care of the seals.
Hugh currently serves as Deputy Head of the Internal Security and Counterintelligence Unit, directly managing a not-so-small team of Extraordinaires responsible for Indish-related espionage cases in the Beckland Region.
"There's a mission here. Her immediate boss, Lieutenant General Pantek, deputy head of MI9 and head of the Internal Security and Counterintelligence Unit, picked up a document and handed it across her desk.
"Is it urgent?" Hugh asked cautiously, holding out his hand to take it.
Lieutenant General Pantek was a typical old man from Rune, with a receding hairline quite severely, he picked up the white glazed porcelain coffee cup, took a sip and said:
"Not urgent, low risk.
In fact, this task will be handed out to all members, hoping that someone will be able to complete it by luck. ”
Such a description was somewhat unexpected, but instead of opening the file bag on the spot, she responded directly:
"I'll tell my teammates. ”
Leaving Lieutenant General Pantek's office, Hugh returned to his room.
When she threw her body into her seat, the whole person seemed to be hidden.
After a quick glance at the documents in his hand, Hugh roughly understood why Mr. Deputy Director said that:
The utopia that needs to be investigated does not seem to be anywhere on the North and South continents, nor on the islands known to the Five Seas.
In the past two weeks, a number of people have entered the so-called utopia, but they have entered in very different ways and places: some in the area of the Tempest Sea and in the Sunian Sea, arriving in a terrible storm, some in the middle of the railway from Desey Bay to Beckland, which was stopped by heavy rain because of heavy rains, and some in West Villas, lost in the city......
So far, no one has been harmed or left behind by entering Utopia...... No wonder Deputy Director Pantek said that the danger was low...... In addition, the current case cannot summarize the pattern, and it is difficult to find the true location of the utopia, so it is impossible to send someone in and carry out an investigation, eh...... Indeed, we can only inform all the members of the committee about the details of the incident, hoping that some of them can gather some information discreetly and covertly after arriving in Utopia by chance...... Hugh put down the papers in his hand and stood up with a little regret, ready to inform his subordinates of the extraordinary.
She regretted that the task was extremely difficult to complete, and there was almost no hope, which prevented her from accumulating further merits.
In the past six months or so, Hugh has been busy every day in order to cope with the foretold apocalypse, dealing with MI9 affairs while completing various tasks given by Mr. "Fool", so as to accumulate contributions on both sides, and prepare for the exchange of "Law Mage" potion recipes and extraordinary characteristics, and realize his desire to become a demigod.
And so far, Hugh is still a little short on both sides, especially within MI9, and if there is no special contribution, Hugh will not see any hope at all.
If it weren't for the fact that he could still receive a good salary in MI9, enjoy all kinds of benefits, and rely on his status and identity to occupy a lot of information to help him complete the tasks given by Mr. "Fool", Hugh would like to resign directly and redo the bounty hunter, so that time will be more free.
The next Tarot meeting can ask about this case, maybe Mr. "World" they will have some clues...... Hugh thought as he pushed open the door to the room where the group were.
After explaining the task of utopia, Hugh specially advised:
"If the situation is not right, even if there is a chance to enter a utopia, you can just give up. The town, which I don't know if it's true or not, doesn't show any harm, maybe it's just because it's not stimulated. ”
After a busy moment, Hugh finally finished his day's work and returned home before half-past seven to have dinner with his mother, brother, and Firth for a limited amount of relaxation.
In the wee hours of the morning, she finished washing, walked to the bedroom window, pinched the curtain, and prepared to pull it in.
In the process, Hugh naturally looked outside, and found that the crimson moon in the sky had somehow become round and larger, and the color had darkened significantly, like flowing blood.
Blood Moon...... Hugh turned his head abruptly and looked next door with concern, a little worried about his friend's state.
However, she soon remembered that Firth was already a demigod in Sequence 4, and was no longer afraid of the effects of the "Full Moon Whisper".
............
In the next room, Foirth was lying on the bed, admiring the "blood moon" outside the window, enduring the pain of being pricked in the head, and listening to Mr. "Door":
"While it is true that Sequence 3 to Sequence 2, incomplete mythical creatures to true mythical creatures, I think Sequences 4 to 3 are also qualitatively changed to some extent, and it can even be said that Sequence 3 is the most beautiful level of the extraordinary pathway.
"At this level, there is no need to rely on external forces to fight madness and out-of-control tendencies, there is no need to suffer all the time, and there is also an extraordinary ability that completely surpasses ordinary people, more like a god than a man, and can also harvest a small amount of anchors to further stabilize their mental state.
"If it weren't for the fact that most of Sequence 3's lives weren't long enough to live to be over 500 years old, I don't think many Sages would have the motivation to be promoted to angelic ......"
"Uh-huh. Foirth nodded repeatedly, indicating that he already understood.
At the same time, her forehead twitched slightly, and she yawned rather covertly.
She was a little used to the pain of a direct conversation with Mr. "Men".
Mr. "Door" continued:
"Sequence 3 of the 'Apprentice' path is called 'The Wanderer', which means that the spirit world can no longer trap you, you can enter the starry sky, travel to the astral plane, travel to different planets, and see the real dead silence, the real desolation, the real grandeur, and the civilization that is completely different from the local one.
"Only by experiencing this first-hand can you know how small the world you live in......"
Mr. "Men" briefly talked about his own experience, so as to show the majesty and magnificence of the starry sky, and show the depth and charm of different civilizations.
It made Firth listen a little intoxicated, and if it weren't for the tingling in her head that reminded her, she would have forgotten that the narrator was a dangerous angel king.
"As long as you help me out of trouble, I will give you the Wanderer's potion recipe and extraordinary properties, and help you complete the ritual, of course, this can be prepaid. At the end of the "Full Moon Whisper", Mr. "Door" once again made a promise.
"It's really exciting. Furth exclaimed.
When Mr. "Door's" voice faded and disappeared, Furth jerked off the pillow on his waist and lay down.
In less than three minutes, she fell asleep peacefully.
For her, the vastness of the starry sky is indeed fascinating, but it also carries the danger of being polluted just by knowing it, and she has no incentive to explore it.
"Wait until you have traveled to all the places in the north and south continents and the five seas before thinking about ......," Forthth muttered to himself almost silently in his sleep.
By this time, the blood-red moon outside the window had long since faded, returned to a lighter crimson, and became incomplete.
............
A large blood-colored full moon hung over the edge of the cliff, illuminating the swamp below.
The swamp was dark red in color, constantly bubbling with bubbles, and there seemed to be magma steaming everything at the bottom.
At first glance, this swamp has no edge at all, like a vast ocean.
Syllable!
A stone fell from the edge of a cliff and plunged into a swamp.
In the next second, a bubble bubble came out and broke silently, giving birth to a baby covered in blood.
The baby staggered and swam close to the cliff, trying to climb up.
Syllable!
Emlyn White shattered rocks at his feet, and he fell off a cliff and into the swamp.
The Count of the Bloods awoke abruptly from his dream, looking around in fear and dazedness.
After confirming that this was his room, surrounded by many familiar dolls, large and small, Emlyn exhaled slowly, and said to himself with a rather solemn expression:
"The dream just now was not simple. ”
As a "Witch King", he has enough knowledge of the dream realm.
Is this what is called "divine revelation"? But I have not received any revelation...... Emlyn thought for a few dozen seconds but couldn't find an answer, and then decided not to bother with the question, ready to ask Father Utravsky when he had time.
............
The faded blood-red, no longer perfect moon illuminates the garden of the Church of the Waves.
Alger reached out and took the note "sent" by the wind, unfolded it and glanced at it:
"Verdu is looking for a pirate ship or smuggling ship to Bansey. ”
- The port of Bansey has not yet been rebuilt, there are no passenger ships leading there, and Verdu, who cherishes the opportunity to "teleport", can only rely on unconventional methods.
Go to Bansey?Alger frowned.
He knew exactly what Bansey meant, but he didn't understand why Verdu wanted to go to Bansey.
There should be nothing left there!
No, even if the church razed Bansey, there was still a certain abnormality left there, and the church did not find out what problems Bansey was hiding in the first place...... As a cardinal, Alger had access to some of the classified documents, including records of the Storm Church's actions against Bansey.
In addition, he learned more from Mr. Fool and Gelman Sparrow of the World.
After thinking about it, Alger quickly made up his mind and prepared to let his Shadow Guardian arrange a pirate ship for Verdur.
In this regard, Alger knows a lot of key people who don't need to come forward at all, or in their own name.
Of course, in the Rorsted Islands, smuggling ships are often also equal to pirate ships.
