Lord of the Mysteries

Chapter 220 The Information Dealer

The original creator? Klein was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of the information that old Kohler had given him:

Belief in the primordial Creator has been preached in the East End, on the Docklands and in the factories lately, that He is not really dead, that He exists in everyone, in everything, and that as long as He is wholeheartedly served and praised, not only after death You can be redeemed, enter His kingdom of heaven, and your current life can be greatly improved. For example, you can eat sizzling meat every day.

This is very close to the mutant creator theory of the Aurora Society, so Klein judged at the time that it was done by that secret organization, and felt that after the Lanrus incident, they began to pay attention to the vast number of poor people.

They have developed so aggressively that they are trying to get people to believe in religion on the way? Klein thought about it and answered:

"heard about it."

The old-fashioned middle-aged man suddenly smiled:

"Then do you know that the end is coming? Do you know that the original creator will build a sanctuary on earth to shelter believers?"

For a moment, Klein wanted to take advantage of the trend to be preached, slowly infiltrate the peripheral organization of the Aurora Society, collect corresponding evidence and clues, and take revenge on the other party's search for "The Fool" believers, but after careful consideration, he felt that this was too dangerous , It's tiring and troublesome to rely on yourself alone, and it may not be effective.

In the end, he decided to report the current phenomenon to "Mechanical Heart" and let the official organization handle it!

After figuring this out, Klein instantly sank his expression:

"I don't know, and I don't want to know!"

He stepped forward, throwing off the opponent, ignoring the middle-aged man's shout.

On the way out of the East District, he observed carefully and found that many workers who were unemployed due to the improvement of the textile machine and the off-season of the wharf gathered together in small groups, listening to the comfort and teaching of the unknown person.

The investigation of the East District, the Docklands and the Factory District was completed in the first two months. Why haven't the three major churches and the House of Representatives come up with specific measures? They must have paid more attention to this side, and they won't fail to notice the current situation... Want to put a long line to catch big fish? This, this is easy to play off! While cursing, Klein pressed the peaked cap on his head, walked out of the East District, and went straight to the Backlund Bridge area.

The "Brave" bar at noon has just opened, and there are almost no alcoholics. Only workers who are busy nearby will enter here and ask for a simple lunch.

Klein mingled among them, and ordered oatmeal bread with pork sausage and a glass of Southwell beer for 10 pence, looking very rich.

After filling his stomach slowly and drinking all the beer, he looked at the bartender:

"Is Kaspers Kanlinin there?"

He intends to add some ordinary ammunition by the way.

The bartender glanced at him:

"You haven't been here for a long time?

"Kaspers died. It is said that he was restless when he slept at night. He wrapped himself too tightly and smothered himself to death. Hehe, I don't really believe that this kind of thing will happen. I only heard it in ghost stories. Similar situation, but that's what those black and white dogs said."

Black and white dogs refer to policemen in black and white checkered uniforms.

Smothered to death by your own quilt? This sounds very mystical... Is it because the high-sequence expert of the Rose School of Thought chose to kill to vent his anger because he kept finding Miss Sharon and Maric? What about the personality of a high-sequence powerhouse? Judging from this, Kaspers can't contact Ms. Sharron and the others... Maybe they have already left Backlund...

Kaspers didn't fully predict the dangers of the extraordinary world. If it were me, I would never return to the "Brave" bar. I would have brought the money I saved and changed the city and the environment...but it is normal Under the circumstances, high-sequence powerhouses will not specifically deal with this kind of ordinary people. At most, they will not consider whether there are sequelae when forcing "psychic psychics"... As expected of the Rose School of Indulgent Desire, high-sequence powerhouses can actually do such a thing. kind of thing...

Klein was both surprised and sympathetic to the black market arms dealer.

The bartender wiped the glass and continued:

"If you want to buy some items, there are new merchants.

"

"Who?" Klein asked casually.

"'Old man', it's in the billiard room No. 3." The bartender said without looking up.

Klein got up immediately, walked slowly towards the familiar place, and knocked on the concealed door.

"Come in." A voice came out.

This voice sounds familiar... Klein pushed open the wooden door and looked inside.

Standing by the table was a not-too-old boy. He was wearing an old overcoat, a brown bowler hat, and a pair of bright red eyes. He was the Ian Klein met when he first arrived in Backlund. , and because of the disappearance of Detective Zreal entrusted by him, he was involved in the third-generation difference engine manuscript dispute, and had to spend a lot of money to ask Mr. A of the Aurora Society to kill Intis's ambassador to the Kingdom of Loen, Bakerland Jean. . Madan.

"It's you, Detective Moriarty?" Ian was taken aback.

He deliberately stuck two beards on his mouth to make himself look old.

Klein entered the billiard room with a smile, closed the door and said:

"haven't seen you for a long time."

He was quite surprised at first that Ian appeared here and became a black market weapons dealer, but soon he thought of some details and felt that it was reasonable:

Klein was able to find the "Brave" bar and Caspers Canlinen because of Ian's introduction.

This big boy must have some contacts nearby!

"Yeah." Ian restrained his astonished expression, and muttered, "I went to Pritz Harbor for two months, and found that those guys were brutal and fierce, and they didn't have any humility and love for children, so I had to go back to Backlund returned to doing what he was good at, and when Kaspers died, he decided to change careers."

Before Klein could speak, he added:

"Mr. Detective, I have always kept in mind that I still owe you two requests."

There's no need to explain so much, and I don't care what you did in the past. Although I always thought it was suspicious that you escaped from MI9, I didn't care too much... Klein picked up a cue and gestured The next posture said:

"In addition to doing underground arms trading, you seem to be still selling information?"

"Yes." Ian replied very frankly, "What do you want to know? It's free."

It's very bold... Do you feel guilty about what happened to me before? Klein pushed out the cue and hit the cue ball, allowing a red ball to accurately fall into the middle pocket.

He was not polite, straightened his body and said:

"Recently, I have been looking for followers of The Fool. There are many rewards on offer. What news do you have?"

Ian thought about it carefully and said:

"No.

"I even wonder if there are any believers in 'The Fool', but no one can find any clues."

...This is the so-called cannon hitting the air... Klein laughed at himself silently, and asked instead:

"In addition, there is a reward. Someone is looking for a university tutor named Azik Eggers. I want to know who issued this reward, so that I can confirm whether I should get involved in this matter. Heh, looking for people is a waste of time. .”

Ian didn't answer directly, looked around, and lowered his voice:

"MI9."

MI9? It wasn't the Spiritual Sect... It seems that it was Ince Zangwill's arrangement that Mr. Azik had a conflict with MI9? Maybe let him know a secret that he shouldn't know? Klein flashed through a series of thoughts in an instant, and finally smiled and said:

"It seems that I don't have to worry that the bounty is fake, but I'm afraid that Azik Eggers was tracked by MI9 because of some secrets. In that case, the day I get the bounty may be the last day of my life. time."

Ian spread his hands:

"I don't know that.

"But you can just provide clues."

"A good suggestion." Klein didn't ask any more questions. He spent 5 soli to replenish some ordinary bullets, and immediately left the "Brave" bar.

After getting into the taxi, looking at the gloomy weather outside the window, he suddenly sighed:

"The death of Kaspers Kanlinin means that Miss Sharron and Maric will give up this 'stronghold'. I can only contact them unilaterally, so it is difficult to find them again...

"Unless they encounter difficulties and need help, or have reached the stage of dealing with the evil spirit in the underground ruins, otherwise, I should not see them.

"Although they are not considered friends, they have cooperated twice. They are my acquaintances who I can communicate with as an Extraordinary without hiding my face. In this way, there are two less similar people.

"If it hadn't been for the 'Apostle of Desire' incident, only Emlyn White, a weird vampire, could communicate about the situation in the mysterious realm without pretending.

"so far so good……"

Amidst the silent exclamation, an illusory voice suddenly sounded in Klein's ear:

"What's your business?"

Klein's hair stood up for a moment, and he breathed a sigh of relief after seeing clearly who was sitting in front of him, and said with a helpless smile:

"Miss Sharon, do you always appear like this unknowingly?"

Sharon, who was wearing a gothic court dress and a small black soft hat, was sitting quietly on the other side of the carriage, her face as pale as ever.

"Next time I will knock on the window." Sharon nodded without any emotional ups and downs.

She didn't repeat the previous question, and just looked at Klein quietly and reservedly.

Suddenly knock on the window? This is also very scary... Klein was not in a hurry to mention the "Human Skin Shadow", and asked instead:

"That high-sequence expert is gone?"

"Yes." Sharon spit out a word.

Klein breathed a sigh of relief and reminded:

"It could be a trap, too."

Having said that, he remembered something, and hurriedly added:

"I've finished reading "Book of Secrets" and got corresponding information from other sources. Praying to the 'primordial moon' is easy to cause problems, so it's best not to try it."

"Okay." Sharon didn't ask why.

She paused for a second, and said in an ethereal voice:

"'Primitive Moon' and 'Bound God' are suspected mortal enemies."

Because the sequences are interchangeable? Or some other reason? Klein thoughtfully introduced the topic into the regular:

"Miss Sharon, do you know where there is the characteristic of 'Human Skin Shadow'?"

Sharon, who was like a puppet, calmly listened and nodded:

"Know."
