Chapter 188 The Choice of Fate
"Needless to deny, I was skeptical when you sent that letter. After all, I have experienced the same thing in Leeds. A person's handwriting is easy to change, but the style of words and writing is not easy to change easily.
Of course, this is not enough for me to recognize you at a glance. Fortunately, I checked the gift list with the steward of the Weimar family before I came here. After checking, I found that there was indeed a rare gift.
Then I saw another interesting name on the guest list, Tuf Capet.
I didn't expect you to enter Sequence 7 so quickly.
Tsk tsk, an enviable talent. "
This old hooligan who has always done things absurdly but has outstanding professional ability, has an extremely keen sense of the ins and outs of things.
Combining several conditional reasoning, it is not surprising to guess his identity naturally.
This made Tu Fu feel dumbfounded for a while, and now he is not as humble as he was before, he doesn't care about revealing his identity in front of acquaintances, so he simply took off his mask.
That handsome and tough young man finally revealed the truth, with a bit of helplessness in his expression.
This is also like admitting his identity.
Just as Roman Richard guessed at the time, it was this child who looked honest and didn't know how black-bellied he was in his heart when he took away the Brotherhood potion and made Mason fool around.
Dare to plot against extraordinary people in ordinary times, presumably there is something extraordinary about them.
Otherwise, how could an ordinary boy from a small coastal town be able to thrive in the capital.
"Mr. Richard, I remember that you said that if you encounter difficulties in Göttinghagen, you can ask you for help. Does this request still count?"
Tu Fu also put on a smiling face, deliberately misinterpreting his meaning.
"Little devil, I'll settle the score with you later, and settle this matter first." Roman scolded with a smile, "Remember to wear a mask, you are a big celebrity who is often in the news now, image, you should pay attention to your image."
The black swan knight captain easily mentioned Deacon Milo who had fainted, and motioned Tu Fu to follow along.
The situation at the trade fair is going smoothly.
Tu Fu and Roman alone dealt with a mid-sequence Transcendent, but there were still two powerful stewards who entangled here for a long time. They completely ignored the lives of the guests and killed many people.
Fortunately, the team led by Uncle Roman is experienced. Not only are they all Sequence 8 Transcendents, but they are also equipped with large-caliber muskets and shells.
As long as the target is locked, unless there is a special life-saving ability,
Otherwise, dozens of rounds of gunpowder exploded on the body at the same time, it would be uncomfortable.
Just like that, when Roman brought Tu Fu to the front yard, the extraordinary team took down the underground black market with ease after roaring with their weapons.
Most of them are also low-sequence transcendents, but they can't resist the artillery.
There were already many corpses and blood scattered around the club, and only some painful wailing could be heard faintly from nearby.
Roman was the first to go up to check a corpse. The instigator, Smolin Laier, had been lying in the middle of a pool of blood early on, with a terrified expression on his face even when he died.
The knife stuck in his chest was unbiased, and the broken neck just made him swallow his breath.
It seems that this incident is very unusual. A member responsible for recording came up to report the news, "Captain, there are four stewards in total, three Sequence 7s and one Transcendent who is about to be promoted to Sequence 6.
Two of them have died, and the remaining sixteen low-rank thugs have all been captured. "
Tu Fu who heard this number was much more surprised than before.
He really didn't expect that there were so many mid-sequence transcendents hidden in an ordinary underground black market.
If Roman hadn't been notified by writing a letter in advance, he might not even have time to return to the ghost ship if those extraordinary people shot at the same time.
"Go and find out the identity of this person, whether you can find out or not, and then submit all the cases to the deacon board."
Roman stared at the strangely dead Smolin for a long time before giving orders to the team members.
Tu Fu's letter had made it clear enough that this person, or the force behind him, was trying to use extraordinary power to persecute the Weimar family's lady.
This is no longer within the control of the ordinary police department.
Realizing the wide-ranging implications of this matter, Roman decisively let the Church of the Goddess of Wisdom handle it. He then asked:
"Which two of the Sequence 7s you said were dead?"
"A dream maker, nicknamed 'Nightmare', and a knight path..."
"nightmare?"
Tu Fu frowned, he clearly remembered that he didn't kill him just now.
If that guy wanted to die, he wouldn't have confided so many things to him.
"Just now, when several buyers were scrambling for extraordinary items, they broke down the bricks. It happened that the wall he was on collapsed. He was already very weak, and he died completely after that."
The members of the Black Swan noticed that Tufu next to Captain Roman murmured for a while, and in order to verify the authenticity of these words, they dragged the body of Mr. "Nightmare" out of it.
Apart from the complete collapse of the chest and the broken fingers of the corpse, it looked serious, but what really made him fatal was that the collapsed wall hit his head.
The bleeding continued and he died shortly after.
When Mr. "Nightmare" died, he also left the same frightened expression on his face as Smalling Laier.
"Mr. Richard, I remember that in the letter I submitted to you before, I mentioned the address of his companion, and that Smolin specially sent someone to steal something from the palace mansion. A person with a highly skilled clown path Extraordinary.
And Winks Street craftsman Ford Justin, who was the source of the affair. "
Tu Fu pondered for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and remembered this matter.
Mentioning that these two people were related to the incident, not only Roman Richard's expression froze, but everyone in the Black Swan Extraordinary Team also had weird expressions.
Tu Fu subconsciously asked, "What happened?"
"Those two people died before we arrived." Some members of the extraordinary team lowered their heads.
"Dead? Who did it."
"It looks like suicide. The clown passed through the Transcendent. When we found him, he had drowned in the bathroom at home. He must have accidentally hit his head and fell into a coma after falling in it. Then he was just submerged in the bathtub. The water in the head drowned alive."
Another woman added: "And the master craftsman you mentioned, Mr. Justin, this man is indeed remarkable, he has made many proud works, even we pay attention to them.
I heard from neighbors that it was probably one night, because I was too tired, I lay down in front of the steelmaking furnace for a while, and let the smoke in the furnace ignite, and the fire burned everything.
Burnt to death along with Ford Justin in his sleep, where only ashes now remain. "
The words of the Black Swan members made Tu Fu's hair stand on end,
He could already imagine such a picture.
A clown path transcendent fell down in the bathroom because he couldn't keep his balance, put his head in the bathtub and was drowned alive by the water.
The Sequence 7 "master" of the most skillfully crafted utensils was burned to death by the proud furnace when refining tools.
Reminiscent of Smolin and Mr. Nightmare just now, their deaths were so coincidental, as if they were deliberately cursed, even if the behind-the-scenes murdered them, it was all too coincidental.
Curse... Tu Fu silently recited this word several times in his heart, and he suddenly raised his head.
It was also because of this that Tu Fu suddenly noticed the commonality of this case.
Starting from Ford Justin, this group of people has formed an indissoluble bond with the cursed necklace, the maker, the transporter, the gift giver and the last trader.
Four people died in chronological order, and they died by such a coincidence.
He wouldn't believe it if he told Tu Fu that it wasn't the "Heart of the Ocean".
Perhaps its target should have been Elena Weimar at the beginning, but after being intervened by Tu Fu, the already set fate has undergone a huge deviation invisibly.
The curse has been cast.
In order to save one person, more people need to be sacrificed.
It has become a trolley problem.
After causing disaster, the "Heart of the Ocean" cleverly returned to Tu Fu according to the pre-set fate, and gave him many valuable formulas and taboos as gifts.
Some gifts with blood on them.
"We must send that necklace back to the ship as soon as possible, and use the power of the ghost ship to suppress it again."
Tu Fu became more and more frightened, it took a few days to take it off the top, and after one processing, it has such a terrifying power.
The item attributes of "Heart of the Ocean" are similar to the "red shoes" that broke out in Leeds, and it has become a mysterious time that endangers public order.
After straightening out the matter, Tu Fu did not tell Uncle Roman all his guesses, but just told him part of the conversation with Mr. Nightmare just now, and then asked:
"Mr. Richard, according to all the information now, are you sure you can find the mastermind behind it?"
He could indeed use surveillance to check Smolin later, but this guy is most likely an intermediary.
He won't have too much contact with the mastermind behind the scenes. If what Mr. Nightmare said just now is true, it will be difficult to figure out who is behind him from Central City.
What's more, he has never had the opportunity to unlock the Hill Palace in Göttinghagen, and naturally he has no authority to monitor it.
To put it bluntly, even if it is known who did it, it must be a very powerful figure.
"If, as you said, the big shots in Central City are involved, then their affairs have never been easy to find out."
Roman also shook his head pessimistically, "I advise you to stop worrying about this matter, even what I can do is to report it to the church as a notification, Smolin is dead, this is a warning, this matter Enough to force them to stop."
"Thinking about it, this is the best ending."
Tu Fu heaved a sigh of relief, and it could be regarded as helping the literary girl out of the crisis. As a friend with some friendship, this level is enough.
After going back, I have to charge her some money.
But if Sophie encountered such a thing, would he stop here?
The moment this question surfaced, Tu Fu already had the answer.
Never will.
He would just dig up the other party's ancestral grave regardless of the cost.
