Chapter 234 The Shovel Is About to Be Wielded
On Saturday, the atmosphere in the office of Backlund's Nighthawks team was quite tense.
Leonard Mitchell did not put his feet on the table as usual, but sat very seriously, with a serious expression.
This was the second time he encountered a case against the items behind Chanis' door, and it naturally brought back hidden memories in his heart.
And more importantly, he had met the fake internal watcher at the time of the incident, but he could not find the problem!
"The internal watcher reported after waking up that he did not see the infiltrator and only knew that he was possessed by a resentful spirit." The "Red Glove" who came in said to everyone in the room.
"How is it possible that a resentful spirit can act inside the church?" Many "Red Gloves" raised questions, but no one could answer them.
Maybe the resentful soul believes in the goddess... Leonard muttered in his heart, and then discussed with "Red Gloves" and the local "Nighthawks". After confirming and starting to investigate their respective suspected targets, Leonard He made an excuse to go to the bathroom, then lowered his voice and said as if mumbling to himself:
"Old man, didn't you notice anything unusual at that time?"
A slightly older voice echoed in his mind:
"I discovered... that person has a special aura, a very ancient one..."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?!" Leonard thought that the old man would lie and not say anything, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so straightforward today.
He paused and asked solemnly: "The ancient breath...is that Viscount Abner Brain? Didn't you say that your old friend won't cause trouble?"
"Of course it won't be him..." Pales chuckled in an old voice and sneered in his heart: If Rhine wants something from the Goddess Church, why does he need to steal it?
"Who is that?" Leonard asked.
"Didn't you have a suspicious target in your discussion just now? It's that crazy adventurer, Gehrman Sparrow." Pales said with a smile.
"It's really him... but he seems to have the ability to 'teleport'. I don't know where he has escaped to now..." Leonard frowned and said, "Old man, you know a lot of people, and Gehrman's Who does the ancient aura come from? Is he also your friend?"
"Sorry, I don't know much about this aura, I only know that it has an ancient smell.
"However, a case you investigated before gave me some inspiration. I suspect that Herman and Detective Moriarty are the same person, and they are both agents of a certain existence."
"Who exists?" Leonard whispered in shock.
The old voice in his mind replied in a rather strange tone:
"A fool who does not belong to this era."
"A fool who does not belong to this era..." Leonard subconsciously followed the sentence and then stopped. After all, if he accidentally read the name in full, he would probably be noticed by that existence.
"I remember that I once suspected that Viscount Abner Braine was suspected to be related to the Fool... So after going around and around, do I still need to find him?"
Leonard clenched his fists, then walked out of the bathroom, and took advantage of the night to go to 28 Kingston Street, intending to venture into Abner's dreamland, visit the old monster, and see if he could get any news. ,
But as soon as he entered the dreamland, he seemed to be lost in it, indulged in a beautiful dream.
In the dream, he "traveled" back to the day of the incident in Tingen City with his current strength. Then, together with Klein and the captain, he successfully killed Megoos and held back Ince who was hiding behind the scenes. Zangwill waited for the rescue of "Punisher" and "Mechanical Heart".
Just as he was celebrating with Klein, Captain, Luo Yao, Cohen Li, Siga and other teammates in the Oldville restaurant, he was suddenly kicked awake.
Leonard opened his eyes with difficulty, and then he saw a low-level police officer holding a short stick and with a "v" on his epaulette. The other person said viciously:
"You can't sleep here!
"It's a provision of the Poor Law!"
Leonard rubbed his back where he was kicked, turned around and left without arguing.
As he walked, he took a deep breath and asked in a low voice: "Old man, what just happened?"
"You overestimated your capabilities and tried to enter someone else's dream, but ended up being trapped in the 'dream maze'... You should be lucky that this dream protection ritual does not have much malice towards the intruder." Pales Although the wording sounded like a warning, the tone was somewhat teasing.
"Ritual... That viscount has very comprehensive protection for the place where he lives!" Leonard sighed and then complained, "Old man, why didn't you remind me?"
"I have already told you that Abner Brain is already an 'Insighter'. Have you not read the information about the 'Insighter'? Don't you know that Extraordinaries of this sequence can easily leverage various This kind of power can be used for one's own purposes. The place where they live must have a very high-level and very secretive guardian power." Pales scolded Leonard for a few words before continuing, "And he doesn't seem to be here today. At home, I originally wanted you to endure some hardships and gain some memory... But it seems that he also gave you a sweet dream... It's really the 'Rhine' style in my memory!"
"It was indeed a sweet dream... but when I woke up, I felt like my heart was full of 'knife' wounds!" Leonard was silent for a few seconds, and then he realized, "You said, he was not at home tonight?"
"Yes, but you really don't need to doubt that he did it... For him, entering Chanis Gate is no different from going home. There is no need to pretend to be an internal watcher." Pales emphasized again.
"How is that possible?" Although Leonard didn't believe it, he also knew that the old man had never lied to him about anything like this.
At this time, Palles said pointedly: "I suggest you continue investigating Sherlock Moriarty and Gehrman Sparrow."
"Old man, you seem to have guessed something?" Leonard's heart moved and he asked directly.
"Have to look again..."
…
At the same time, Congressman Macht’s home at 39 Burklund Street in the North District.
When Hazel compared several files in her hand, she suddenly noticed something.
She picked up a portrait of Sherlock not long after he came to Backlund and looked at it for a long time before his beard was that long. Then she took out the Tingen secretly obtained by Melissa's friend Miss Elizabeth who had joined the "Nighthawks" team. Portraits of deceased members of the city's "Nighthawks" team were found, and the page of Melissa's brother Klein was found.
"No way?" After muttering, Hazel overlapped the two portraits.
Then she closed her eyes and realized that her "Decryptor" potion was completely digested.
…
On Sunday morning, when Abner returned home from Princess Vera's mansion and was enjoying breakfast, he heard the housekeeper report that Miss Hazel was visiting.
