Chapter 589 Disaster
Cynthia on the other side was walking on the street of Enmatt Street at the moment.
Since this place is located in the center of the city, all the people coming and going are well-dressed gentlemen, so the public security is relatively good, and gangsters robbing children on the street have not happened here.
There were quite a few pedestrians who were caught by Cynthia, no! To be precise, I was attracted by Fratis's delicate doll-like face and Cynthia's cool temperament like the silver moon in the sky. I couldn't help but look at her for a few more seconds.
Cynthia ignored this and walked steadily from the street to the end of the street, carefully sensing the surrounding environment as she walked.
As she walked, she passed by No. 19 Enmat Street, the residence of the greedy disciple named Enyuge.
But Cynthia did not stop and kept walking forward.
Even thinking about it with his knees, he knew that the Lock of Heaven could not be placed in the residence of a Sequence 5 person.
It would be a waste of time to check the Sequence 5's home without being able to alert the enemy.
"Did you find anything?"
Barbara conveyed her problem to Cynthia through soul communication.
"No!" Cynthia replied concisely.
"Me neither, but I have a vague feeling that something is wrong with this whole street." Barbara's tone seemed quite serious.
"Yeah! My spiritual warning is also telling me that there is something abnormal here." Cynthia said without any emotion.
"It seems that the Lock of Heaven is indeed in this area." Barbara was very confident when she said this.
If only your own spiritual perception detects something abnormal here, then it is indeed possible that it is your own illusion.
But Cynthia, who was once a god, her spiritual premonition also told her that there was something abnormal here, so it was almost certain that the Lock of Heaven was nearby.
It's impossible that what they both perceived was an illusion, right? This possibility is very low, almost negligible.
Now that it has been confirmed that the Sky Lock is in this area, the next thing that needs to be done is to find out its specific location.
"Do you have any guesses?" Barbara then asked.
Cynthia said nothing and looked at the tallest building on Enmat Street, which was a clock tower.
The Prague Astronomical Clock, located on the edge of the Old City Center Square in the middle of Enmatt Street, was built 737 years ago and is the oldest functioning astronomical clock in Haidaram.
This clock tower is 135 meters high. Compared with the surrounding buildings whose average height is less than 50 meters, it is so conspicuous that people can see it at a glance.
The huge round wall clocks, engraved with various primitive patterns, hang from the top of the bell tower, one on each side, four in total.
This ancient wall clock, built seven hundred years ago, is still telling the time accurately to nearby residents.
Seeing Cynthia looking towards the clock tower, although she didn't speak, Barbara already understood what she wanted to express.
"Bell tower?" She whispered to herself.
Cynthia withdrew her gaze from the top of the bell tower and explained concisely:
"The Heavenly Lock can exert greater characteristics at high altitudes."
In fact, Barbara understood this even if Cynthia didn't explain it. She didn't speak, obviously agreeing with Cynthia's guess.
Of course, this is just a guess. Whether the Lock of Heaven is actually on the bell tower still needs to be confirmed.
Cynthia did not rush to the clock tower to confirm, but still pretended to be strolling on Enmatt Street.
After wandering for more than an hour, she finally arrived at the bottom of the bell tower.
As a child, it is normal to wander around and touch and look around.
Just when she was about to pretend to be having fun and climb up the steps of the bell tower, she glanced at the ground imperceptibly as if she was aware of it.
But soon, she withdrew her gaze and walked up the steps without any change in her expression.
Just when she reached the 10th floor, there was a sudden slight shaking on the steps under her feet.
It's very slight, and you might even miss it if you don't feel it carefully.
But gradually the vibration began to get louder, and at the same time, the howling of animals began to be heard from the surrounding buildings.
A large number of birds also flew up in the woods in the distance. They hovered in the air in panic and made a sharp and sharp cry.
Cynthia did not hesitate, with a look of panic on her face, like a frightened little girl, and quickly ran down the stairs that had begun to shake.
Tears began to overflow from her beautiful big eyes, and her childish voice was filled with fear as she called her mother, her voice sobbing and looking pitiful.
And just as she cried out, people in the surrounding houses and on the street also screamed in panic.
They swarmed towards the open space, their past dignity and elegance all forgotten at this moment, and they didn't even bother to worry about losing their shoes.
The world he saw began to shake violently.
One by one, the uniformed police officers quickly found the loudspeakers and shouted loudly as they ran along the street:
"There's an earthquake! Hide to an open area!"
This disaster that affected the entire Haidaram was caught off guard. No one could predict it and no one was prepared.
A large number of buildings collapsed during this accidental turning of the earth, and there were screams and cries everywhere. The city that had just experienced heavy rains was once again facing disaster.
It has added some suffering to the already suffering ordinary people in this city.
In Yolton Cathedral, feeling the violent shaking of the ground, Scolem glanced at the outside world in silence.
He could have stopped the earthquake, but he couldn't.
Once he takes action, the Sequence 2 who is preparing for promotion will notice it and may cancel the promotion plan.
And once he cancels his promotion, it will be difficult to find a chance to kill a Sequence 2 heretic next time.
If a Sequence 2 heretic continues to live, the damage he can cause in the future will be far greater than this earthquake.
What he was facing now was similar to the steam track problem raised by a certain empire philosopher a hundred years ago.
There is a minority on one side and a majority on the other. Should we save the minority and give up the majority, or should we save the majority and give up the minority?
Obviously, Scolem chose the future majority this time, which was a necessary trade-off.
Withdrawing his gaze from the outside world, Scolam looked at Archbishop Dino who had been standing behind him, and said indifferently:
"The previous heavy rains and this earthquake, a city suffered two disasters in a short period of time that were normal in all aspects. This in itself is an abnormal thing."
"This situation reminds me of the disasters recorded in church materials!"
