Chapter 199 New Method of Obtaining Information

Glancing at Danitz's expression, Anderson continued as if he didn't notice anything:

"However, their brains seem to have been eaten by living corpses, and they are so fanatical that they are almost stupid. It doesn't fit my aesthetics, so I quit after cheating something.

"Hey, why is your face a little pale, with a lot of sweat on your face, do you have sunstroke? As a hunter, shouldn't it be instinctive to adapt to the environment?"

Danitz raised his right hand, wiped his sweat, cursed a few words in his heart, forced a smile and said:

"I've heard people say that once you believe in an evil god, it's almost impossible to get rid of it."

He raised his chin as he spoke, looking like I'm watching you die. He didn't think about the fact that Gehrman Sparrow had just offended the Aurora Society and was wanted by followers of the "True Creator" at all. It reminds me that I am believing in a "fool" who is suspected of being an evil god.

"That's right." Anderson responded with a smile without any haze, "I don't have any real faith, and what I recited at that time were all sentences I changed from the name of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. Anyway, they don't like to use Brain, no, they don’t have this thing at all, as long as they pretend to be pious on the surface, they can be fooled by just finding any reason.”

Without waiting for Danis to discuss this, he asked instead:

"Why did you suddenly mention the Aurora Society?"

Danitz took a bite of the roasted meat, chewed and swallowed it slowly, and deliberately waited for twenty or thirty seconds before saying:

"Because I remembered one thing, Gehrman Sparrow did something, and was listed by the Aurora Society as the main target that must be eliminated. By the way, there is also the Spiritual Sect, and you and I are both People who are recognized as having connections with him."

"Tell me to be careful of people from the Aurora Society and the Spiritual Order?" Anderson nodded suddenly, and laughed, "You seem to have said something similar recently, the Rose School of Thought, the Church of Storms, the Loen Military... Hiss, there are At that time, I felt that Gehrman Sparrow was more suitable as a hunter than me."

It was rare for Danitz not to refute, and nodded heavily in sympathy.

Anderson thought for a while, then suddenly changed the subject without warning:

"What exactly do you want to do when you come to West Balam this time? To help Gehrman Sparrow?"

Hearing this question, Danitz was silent for a second, put away the things in his hands, straightened his clothes in a leisurely manner and said:

"Investigation on the beliefs of people from all walks of life in West Balam."

This is the purpose of this trip that he confirmed after discussing with "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina. In more common terms, it is: to investigate the development and sphere of influence of the major secret organizations in West Balam.

Of course, this will also come with initial contact with the local ruling forces to find out whether they have a need to buy guns and ammunition.

"Investigation on the beliefs of people from all walks of life in West Balam..." Anderson repeated Danitz's words, raised his right hand reflexively, and rubbed his forehead, as if he had a headache.

…………

After finishing the Tarot Society and reminding the "Admiral of the Stars" to pay attention to the "investigation" of the Aurora Society and the Spiritual Cult, it is best to seek the help of the Moss Penance Society, Klein was busy completing the "World", "Moon" and The three-party transaction of "Sun" received 5,000 pounds in cash.

After dinner, he read the newspaper with an unlit ornamental pipe in his mouth, and saw his Miss Courier step out of the void, delivering a letter.

"Leonard's..." Klein stretched out his hand to take it while paying attention to whether Reinette Tinekerr stayed, and found that the messenger lady returned to the spirit world quickly.

This made him confirm that Leonard Mitchell had paid for the postage, so he took his other hand out of his pocket and unfolded the letter:

"Ince Zangwill appeared in East Balam, suspected to have met Palenque Tasib from the Artificial Death Sect of the Spiritual Cult..."

Ince Zangwill... Klein chewed on the name, and slowly leaned back on the back of the easy chair.

In the letter, Leonard hoped that he could conduct some investigations secretly to find out Ince Zangwill's purpose.

"But the problem is,

It was mentioned last time that '0-08' has a characteristic similar to 'everything that is said will be known'. If you know it, you will be known by it at the same time. Moreover, it is good at arranging coincidences, so that people will follow it unconsciously. Take the baton... Under such circumstances, if you want to investigate Ince Zangwill, it's hard not to be noticed by '0-08'. Not only is there no possibility of success, but it is also easy to expose yourself..." Klein said Thinking, let the "winner" Enzo walk behind him, and squeezed his shoulder.

He read Leonard Mitchell's letter again from the beginning, hoping to find more clues and possible investigation entry points in those few sentences:

"East Balam... Spiritual Religion Group... Artificial Death Sect... Palenque Tasib... What is Ince Zangwill looking for them for? For the royal faction behind it for the Great Smog Incident in Backlund The real murderer seeks allies?

"Artificial Death Pie... Artificial Death Pie..."

Klein thought about it, and suddenly remembered something that almost no one knew except himself and Mr. Azik:

The "Goddess of the Night" has preliminarily controlled the "uniqueness" of the "Grim Reaper" pathway, that is, the "Artificial Grim Reaper", and is currently usurping, digesting, and mastering the corresponding authority!

In other words, the objects believed by the "Artificial Death" faction of the Spiritual Cult are already regarded as the "Goddess of the Night" to a certain extent. When the transfer and control of power is over, they will inevitably face a certain cleansing and gradually integrate into the Church of Evernight, or continue to use The current identity activities, contact with other factions of the Spiritual Cult, contact with various hidden forces, and cooperate with the "Nighthawks" without any trace.

For Klein, this is not the point. The point is that he remembers that it was mentioned in the ancient documents collected before:

In order to artificially create the god of death, the members of the Lingjiao group will pray to the "uniqueness" every day, as if the other party is a real god, trying to arouse its wisdom little by little, and let it activate step by step.

Of course, this is only one part of the plan, and it is not the key.

"So, is there such a possibility that Palenque Tasib mentioned Ince Zangwill's purpose when praying to the 'artificial god of death', in order to obtain protection?

"But what he didn't expect was that the 'Artificial God of Death' on the opposite side had been controlled by the 'Goddess of the Night'. Although he hadn't become the incarnation of the other party, he had also lost his 'freedom'.

"From this point of view and logic, if you directly arrange the ceremony and pray to the goddess, you might be able to achieve Ince Zangwill's goal... This may not be impossible!" The more Klein thought about it, the more he felt that this seemed absurd. program has a chance of success.

The basis for this possibility to become a reality is:

The enemy's "leader" is our "undercover agent"!

Telling Secret Puppet Enzo to stop pressing, Klein slowly got up, paced back and forth, thinking about whether to try it, and how to try it.

"Ince Zangwill is a traitor to the church and a disgrace to all 'Nighthawks'. If there is a chance to eliminate him, the goddess should be very happy and don't mind providing a little help...

"But now is the critical period for the goddess to digest and grasp the power of the 'artificial god of death'. He may not be able to respond for a long time, and can only maintain the feedback of normal ritual magic, and I also lack the corresponding materials...

"Also, I have been telling myself to be vigilant and not to trust and rely on the Goddess... directly praying to Him to obtain the 'Oracle', I always feel that it is not very good, I hope to keep a safe distance... With so many thoughts, Klein hesitated for a moment.

He spread his thoughts away, trying to find a more acceptable solution.

Suddenly, he had an even more ridiculous idea:

Pray directly to the "Artificial Death"!

On the one hand, there is actually no danger, because the "Artificial Grim Reaper" itself will not respond to prayers and rituals. If it gets feedback, it means that the "Evernight Goddess" is "operating". "Reaper's Project" comes with feathers left over from the product, and there is an Azik copper whistle. It doesn't take a long time to collect materials to arrange a ceremony to pray to the "Oracle"!

"In addition, it's separated by a layer, instead of directly 'connecting' with the goddess, maybe this can help her further grasp the authority of the 'artificial god of death'." Klein comforted himself and began to get busy in the room.

He first used the "Sacrifice and Bestowment Ceremony" to bring back one of the remaining two feathers, the long-unused "Full Moon" essential oil, night vanilla powder and other items to the real world, and then transformed the altar to complete the preliminary preparations for the ceremony ——Anyway, the essence is to pray to the "Goddess of the Night", so he doesn't bother to buy additional ritual materials in the "Reaper" domain.

This is not fundamentally different from normal ritual magic. Klein skillfully lit candles, dripped essential oils, and drew symbols such as "human" and "secret" in occultism on the imitation parchment. , pressed Azik's copper whistle on it.

Immediately afterwards, he put the white feather stained with light butter into the silver bowl where the herbal powder was burning, and saw that it was not curled at all, and there was no sign of scorched black.

Breathing out silently, Klein took a step back and recited in Hermes language:

"You are the essence of death;

"You are the prince of the dead;

"You are the final destination of all living beings.

"I pray for your help, I pray that I can know the purpose of Ince Zangwill's contact with the Spiritual Order.

"..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three candles suddenly swelled up. They seemed to have brightened a lot, but they were stained with a dark green, and the surroundings suddenly became cold.

Klein closed his eyes and meditated for 30 seconds with a little nervousness, walked to the front of the altar, picked up the "Full Moon" essential oil, and dropped a drop on each of the three candles.

After finishing this, he took back Azik's copper whistle, grabbed the imitation parchment, put it in front of the candle symbolizing "I", lit it and threw it into the silver bowl.

With a swipe of the ground, the originally undamaged white feather burst into pale flames, completely covering the entire silver bowl and blocking Klein's sight.

After two or three seconds, the flames completely receded, leaving only a pile of powder in the silver bowl.

Those powders are windless and automatic, forming one word after another:

"Evil spirits are possessed and need to be exorcised."
