Chapter 210 The Wind Rises

"Yes, more than a month ago." Allen pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and replied in the affirmative.

more than a month ago? Isn't that when you're haunted by nightmares about Will Auceptin? Klein was surprised and puzzled, but he didn't let his emotions show on his face.

In an instant, he thought of the two divinations he had done:

Will Auceptin was in a dark room, and there was the sound of running water outside.

Is that a sign of amniotic fluid or blood? Klein's heart trembled, and he suddenly realized something.

When he looked at Dr. Allen again, his eyes were quite complicated.

He suspected that the other wife was pregnant with Will Auceptin, a mercury snake!

In the symbols of occultism, the snake of mercury connects head to tail and devours its own tail, implying a cycle of fate... Will Auceptin took the initiative to start a new cycle covertly in advance in order to avoid the enemy ? Klein made guesses based on the knowledge he has so far.

Dr. Allen was completely unaware of the abnormality he was trying to cover up, and said with a smile:

"He will be a lovely fellow. When he is born, I will hold a banquet to celebrate his arrival, Sherlock. Don't refuse my invitation then."

"Maybe it's her." Klein responded with a smile.

Frankly speaking, he was a little curious, wanting to see what state the newborn Mercury Serpent was in.

However, he was also a little afraid and worried. After all, the Mercury Snake is the Sequence 1 of the "monster" fate path, and it involves the competition for the position of the gods. No one can be sure that the follow-up will be smooth, stable and happy.

For Dr. Allen, I don't know whether it is luck or misfortune...Whether Will Auceptin is kind is one thing, and whether the other mercury snake will find it is another...And Will Auceptin is currently also Not doing anything, telling the Nighthawks seems a bit cruel, I have always understood the wild Extraordinary... It is the best choice to quietly watch the development first, not to interfere with it, not to use it... Maybe I misinterpreted and thought too much How many? Maybe Will Auceptin isn't some kind of mercury snake at all! Maybe Mrs. Dr. Allen is having a normal baby! Many thoughts flashed through Klein's mind.

"Her? That would be even better." Allen said expectantly.

Klein thought about it and asked again:

"Have you had nightmares lately?"

"Occasionally, but they are all normal nightmares. There is no more Will Auceptin, Sherlock, thank you for your enlightenment." Allen said sincerely.

No, no, no, this is not normal. As a keyboard expert, my limited psychological common sense tells me that it is normal to occasionally dream of Will Auceptin after being stimulated. Standard reaction, since the other party has caused you so much trouble and left such a deep impression on you, it will definitely be reflected in the dream, so the correct change is to dream of Will Auceptin occasionally, but the dream It's not very clear anymore, and he even forgot the specific content as soon as he got up. He only knows that there is such a thing... Klein became a little more certain.

Just then, he heard the sound of woo la.

He subconsciously looked out of the hall, only to see that the darkness in the mid-air was blown away by the strong wind, and the light yellow thin mist was swept away.

The branches without leaves swayed, and the strong wind dragged out an obvious trail, heading straight to the southeast.

After a few seconds, everything returned to normal, calm as before.

"It's hard to see such a strong wind in Backlund in winter, at least I don't have any impression." Allen also looked out the window and said with emotion.

This is not a normal wind... what happened? Klein suppressed his doubts and found an excuse to go to the bathroom to do an ordinary divination, but he didn't get any effective revelation.

He put this matter aside for the time being, and prepared to go to the underground shooting range to practice guns.

But at this time, a waiter in a red vest walked through the warm hall, came to his side, and said respectfully:

"Mr. Moriarty, your friend is looking for you."

"Who?" Klein asked back in a little astonishment.

"Mr. Ikanser Bernard.

"The red vest waiter replied.

The deacon who often passively "cuts his hair"...why did he suddenly ask me? Have a new discovery? Klein immediately walked to the reception hall of the club.

Ikanser pressed the hat covered by fluffy hair, greeted him, and said in a low voice:

"The Punisher has found Patrick Jason Beria."

"How did you find it?" Klein asked half surprised and half curious.

According to the enlightenment he obtained from divination, Jason Beria has always been wearing a human skin, his real appearance and aura are not as determined, it is almost impossible to be found so easily!

Ikanser looked around and said:

"I don't know, I just got the message."

He pointed to a small white bird parked on the tree outside the door.

The little bird was leisurely cleaning its feathers with its beak.

Without waiting for Klein to ask again, Ikanser roughly described what happened:

"The Punisher found clues and determined Jason's whereabouts, but this demon sensed the danger in advance, and before the siege closed, he forcibly killed the two Punishers and fled. The singer Ace Snake personally chased after it. You should have seen a strong wind just now, and that was caused by him. He is the Archbishop of the Backlund Diocese of the Church of Storms and one of the cardinals of the entire Church of Storms. "

It sounds normal, but it feels weird...According to Mr. Essinger and my guess, this can also be understood as Jason, the "Apostle of Desire", is distracting high-sequence powerhouses... Klein asked after deliberation:

"Are you sure it was Jason Beria who was discovered?"

Ikanser's expression suddenly became serious, and he replied in a rather strange tone:

"I'll give it a try."

He signaled Klein to go out with him, and boarded a spacious carriage parked on the side of the street, and there were two members of "Mechanical Heart" inside.

Ikanser took a deep breath, and took out the ancient silver mirror with strange patterns from the special pocket on the inside of his clothes.

After finishing the preamble, he said with a dark face:

"Dear Arrods, my question is about Patrick Jason Beria's current position."

The surrounding light suddenly distorted, like the lights after the rain, and a scene quickly emerged in the silver mirror:

It was a riverboat with its sails raised. Jason Beria, with high cheekbones, gray eyes, and neatly combed hair, pressed his peaked cap, turned up the collar of his coat, and hurriedly entered. cabin.

"He really wants to escape from Backlund! The 'Singer of God' seems to be rushing to the dock area..." A female member of "Mechanical Heart" suddenly said.

It's too easy to expose, right? Klein was full of doubts.

Ikanser didn't pay attention to these, and all his attention was on the surface of the silver mirror.

This time, the only option is to answer questions, with dire penalties for being wrong or lying.

Soon, words that were bright red like blood were outlined on the mirror:

"If the man you like is covered with pimples, or if the skin is peeled off, leaving only flesh and blood, or turned into a monster, but can communicate, will you still like him?"

Such a shameful question... wait, man? Klein almost turned his head and looked at Ikanser.

Ikanser exhaled slowly and said:

"Yes, but I will kill him myself."

"Very honest." A new combination of words appeared on the surface of the silver mirror.

...This quiz game is simply a public execution... Klein really wanted to cover his face with his hands.

He looked at the other two "Mechanical Heart" members with no abnormalities, or pretended that there were no abnormal expressions, and said hesitantly:

"I always think it's too easy, maybe that's not real Jason Beria?"

"But Jason Beria is pointing at him." Ikanser planned to lose the silver mirror.

Klein thought for a few seconds, organized his words and said:

"No, what I really mean is that we must abandon some inherent judgments. What we are looking for is the 'Apostle of Desire', not Jason Beria. The two are not necessarily completely equivalent.

"That's the point I have to make as a detective."

…………

On the King's Avenue, a luxurious carriage left the Kingdom House.

The carriage is covered with carpets and furnished with beds, sofas, tables and other furniture, like a mobile room.

Wearing a dark blue admiral uniform, Pallas, the Duke of Bendenigan, was holding a glass made of crystal, drinking the bloody Almere wine.

While tasting the wine, he thought about it and said:

"I invite Earl Hall to be a guest tomorrow. I want to talk to him about increasing the wages of factory workers, improving their working hours, and amending the "Poor Law". These are all bills that he has pushed hard recently. He should be very interested. Heh, why did the Evernight Church suddenly care about this matter?

"When inviting, you can first disclose to Earl Hall what I want to discuss. The property restrictions of the election are necessary, and the requirements cannot be lowered. Otherwise, those guys who drive a large number of workers will definitely occupy more seats. Also, will Recent attacks on invalid constituencies are suppressing..."

Swiping, the secretary next to him quickly recorded Duke Negan's orders.

After finishing speaking, Duke Negan sighed and said:

"I did this for the sake of my noble status, but there are more and more useless guys among us, and there are even many people who owe money to those rich people."

At this time, the carriage did not turn in the direction of Queens, but went straight ahead.

As the largest land nobleman other than the king, Duke Negan has many mistresses, but in the relatively conservative Loen Kingdom, this is a place that is easily attacked by political enemies, so even if he is a duke, when he goes to his mistress, Had to be sneaky too, but that seemed to give him more fun.

Today he was going to visit his favorite mistress in the past two or three years, a girl who had just turned twenty.

Taking out a bottle of potion made from mummy powder and drinking it, Duke Negan couldn't help touching the ornament hanging around his neck, which was a dark blue conch the size of a thumb.

It is a magical item specially provided by the Church of the Storms after the last assassination of Qilingus. As long as Duke Negan blows it, the "Singer of God" Ace Snake in the Holy Wind Cathedral can hear it Move and lock position.

In order to protect himself, Duke Negan even changed the residences of several mistresses to the Jowood District, not far from the Holy Wind Cathedral.

The carriage drove slowly and came to an extremely luxurious house. At a glance, there was a glass greenhouse in the garden, which was full of bright red roses.
