Mysterious Catastrophe

……

Under the same moonlight.

Bridge of Yver district, interior of the church.

"The person who watched me withdrew?"

Nicholas lifted a corner of the curtain and noticed that the watcher had disappeared.

"According to Mr. Yasuo's previous news, the monitors come from the lotus eaters, and the lotus eaters once ordered the Bone Worship Society to excavate the remains of Auclair..."

"The 'beast' at the previous party was a member of the Bone Worship Society, but later... under the ruins, the tomb of the legendary Earl Aaron Sotos was discovered. The matter became serious, and we had to monitor Everyone at the party, in case the 'beast' leaked the news before..."

"Today I received information that a huge banyan tree appeared on the outskirts of Green Forest... Hehe... Such an obvious sign, obviously cannot be hidden from anyone, there must be a terrible battle there..."

Nicholas restrained his greed very well, and he also understood that he was a mere 'illuminator', and going to that level of ruins was no different from sending him to death.

Instead of being tempted by treasures that don't belong to you, it's better to get something that really suits you from the Sunset School and the teacher.

Thinking of this, Nicholas drew the curtains, lit three candles, held a silver mirror, and arranged the ceremony of communicating with the teacher.

A few minutes later, the ceremony was completed, and a line of text appeared on the surface of the mirror - "Nicholas, I will leave this city, it is too dangerous here. Before I leave, I will tell you the requirements and materials of the 'Child of Light', you You can try to complete the ceremony by yourself..."

"What? The teacher is leaving? And directly give me the mystic knowledge of the second essence. Is this the rhythm of going for a long time?"

Nicholas stared wide-eyed, and asked the relevant reason cryptically.

This time, the opposite side of the mirror hesitated for a long time before giving an answer—"My teacher was confirmed to have died in the tomb of Sotos, and the school will also be in turmoil because of this, and our department will become difficult in the future...but you have to Believe me, the dawn will come."

"Teacher's teacher...that inhuman Lieyang instructor, is dead?"

Nicholas widened his eyes...

……

Bureau of Investigation.

The underground prison room.

Percy, who was lying there, was suddenly disturbed.

Before he came to the iron gate, through the small window above, he shouted to the detective who was watching him: "Peter, give me a cigarette!"

Peter was his former acquaintance, and his face was serious at this time: "Don't play tricks, I won't let you out..."

"Hey, our friend for so many years, don't you even give me a cigarette?"

Percy said: "You didn't bring enough money to the Moulin Rouge before, so I settled the bill for you...I also helped you hide your wife."

"Okay, okay, there is only one."

Peter resentfully took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it in.

Percy put the snow-white cigarette under his nose, took a deep breath, and suddenly asked, "There is some commotion outside, what happened?"

Chapter 201 Bow and visit

"I don't know about this..."

Peter smiled bitterly, lit the match again, and lit a cigarette for Percy: "Remember to give me the cigarette butt and ashes."

Half an hour later, footsteps came from outside the prison cell.

With a creak, the heavy iron door was opened, and a majestic voice echoed: "Percy Anias...you have been released! And resumed as captain!"

"What happened?"

Percy's expression was serious, without the slightest bit of joy on his face: "In my situation, even if I pass the review, I'm sure it's not suitable for me to stay in the investigation bureau, right?"

"follow me!"

The stern-faced investigator led Percy out of the cell and toward Jacob's office.

"A lot of people have been dispatched in the bureau..."

Percy looked at the empty offices and desks, and asked with some guesswork: "Have you found the location of Sothoth's tomb?"

"No!"

The footsteps of the dignified agent stopped suddenly, and Percy almost bumped into the other's back.

Although his voice was flat, he couldn't hide the seriousness: "They're all dead..."

"All... dead?!"

Percy turned his head again, looking at the empty desks, his expression gradually became frozen...

Inside Jacob's office.

"Percy Arnias..."

With deep tiredness on Jacob's face, he seemed to have aged a lot, and handed Percy a document: "Please read the briefing of this operation first... This is top secret, you must sign a mysterious contract, I swear not to leak any news!"

Percy took it, just glanced at it, and his pupils dilated: "The Mausoleum of Sothos... heavy casualties... Caslo's death... Earl of Green Forest... Immortals... Invisible Priory?"

His heart became extremely heavy, and his voice became dry: "Secrets of this level... don't seem to be something I can read?"

After a pause, he asked again in disbelief: "That Earl of Green Forest may have lived for thousands of years?"

"I have already contacted the headquarters, and the fortune teller at the headquarters paid a great price... Although there are still many fogs that have not been seen clearly, I have come to the conclusion that the man behind the scenes is Aaron Sotos!"

This is of course because the Bureau of Investigation has a lot of key clues and information, but it only needs divination to confirm the truth and falsehood, which is the easiest type of divination.

Even so, it is said that the fortune teller paid an extremely terrible price!

This is enough to prove from the side that the 'Earl of Green Forest' is terrifying!

"As for where the other party has gone and what he is planning next... We still don't know anything, and we can only barely guess that that person may have something to do with the Invisible Priest... In this expedition, the Invisible Priest The society did not appear, but it is the key organization that led us to Sothoth's tomb, and it is also one of the masterminds behind the scenes!"

Jacob said seriously.

"Understood... I will definitely do my best to arrest the Invisible Priory."

Percy stood at attention and punched his chest: "I swear on my life!"

"No, you misunderstood what I meant. The mission I gave you was not to arrest the members of the Invisible Priory... but to use your previous identity as a bridge and channel to communicate between the Investigation Bureau and the Invisible Priory... Before the headquarters has issued a clear order, all forms of hostile activities are prohibited! This is an order from the director!"

Jacob felt his mouth full of bitterness, and Percy was stunned.

He felt the weakness and fear of the Bureau of Investigation!

'It turns out that the strength of the Invisible Priory is enough to make the Investigation Bureau bow its head?Then what did I do before?Send more agents to die? '

Percy felt a sense of collapse and despair.

If he hadn't been strong enough in his heart, the huge sense of guilt at this moment might have given him the urge to commit suicide by swallowing a gun.

"Politics is the art of compromise. Sometimes, in order to maintain the kingdom, we have to make such compromises..."

Jacob sighed, his back seemed to become a lot bent.

"If this is an order from the General Administration, then I am willing to accept it!"

Percy answered with a trembling voice.

……

The next day.

Aaron took a carriage to Indus Street and visited Clark's house.

The two embraced warmly. After entering the study, Clark showed a sincere smile: "My friend, it's great to hear that you're fine."

After a pause, a smile appeared on his face: "Ever since I knew that your ancestor might still be alive, and he arranged everything, I have a vague premonition that you might be fine... After all, how could that person who harmed me What about future generations?"

Clark's face was full of urgency and longing, and he said with a hint of joking: "My friend, if you change back to the surname of Sotos, you will have the same name as that ancestor. According to the custom, I should call you' Little Sotos' sir, lol..."

He didn't doubt Aaron's identity at all. After all, Aaron was an Extraordinary who was gradually promoted from an ordinary person under his nose, and his original quality level was still very low.

How could it be the immortal existence of the seventh essence?

In Invens' customs, it is normal for descendants to take the same name as their ancestors.

"I was able to survive, and I feel lucky myself."

With a complicated expression on Aaron's face, he sighed and said, "But... I also have to pay a terrible price for this... Clark, do you know how to expel an evil spirit?"

"What? You?"

The pipe in Clark Dass' hand trembled and almost fell to the ground.

"Don't forget, Eau Claire is also a descendant of the Sotos family, and what is an ordinary blood compared to an evil spirit?"

Aaron hinted that the ancestor didn't care about the evil spirit occupying a descendant, and he was already suspected of being possessed by the evil spirit!

Clark resisted the urge to run away, and asked in deliberation, "What did Mr. Big Sotos say?"

"I haven't seen him..." Aaron had a wry smile on his face, "But I don't think he cares much about me...Of course, being able to come out alive is already lucky enough."

"..."

Clark was speechless for a while, and finally said: "Perhaps... you have to find the existence of the non-human 'Yao', or the help of other 'underworld' religious groups... Your situation is very special, and you may have achieved symbiosis with the evil spirit , this is probably also the scheme of Mr. Big Sotos..."

"Okay, let's talk about something lighter."

Aaron clapped his hands and said: "The ruins have been destroyed, and they may still attract some extraordinary people from other places, but after they investigate, they will find that there is not only no value, but strong pollution, and then they choose to leave, just like It’s the same as the official blockade and isolation of those places where Si Sui used to appear... The extraordinary circle in this city has been hit so hard, and it will probably be quiet for a long time, what are your plans next?"

Speaking of this, Clark's eyes lit up a little: "I'm going to publish a book to refute some of the mainstream views about the Earl of Greenwood in today's historical circles... Believe me, I saw a lot in the murals of your lord's tomb. The truth buried in history..."

"That would be great, I wish you success."

Aaron added in his mind: 'If you dare to write my dark history again, I will make you look good! '

Chapter 202 Caster

Aaron bid farewell to Clark and returned to the carriage.

At this time, he saw that the martial law had begun on the street again, knowing what happened, he didn't bother to listen to the driver's complaints, and let the driver drive him back home.

"After going back, you can start preparing to open the third essence... Fortunately, the main material is already available, so there is no problem..."

Golden Rose Street.

After entering the house, Aaron saw William Mark waiting in the living room.

He looked restless and restless amidst despair, he ignored the tea and muffins brought by Sylvia, and just kept circling in the living room.

"Mr. William Mark came early in the morning and has been waiting for three hours..."

Sylvia stepped forward, took Aaron's hat, and explained to him softly.

"Oh, my friend..."

When William Mark saw Aaron, his expression was a little unnatural, as if he was ashamed: "I regret not listening to your advice... That 'Eugene' is a liar! He defrauded me of a large sum of money... If you still If I don't get a loan from the bank, I will go bankrupt, and my house, carriage, and fields will all be auctioned off...my wife and children can only go to the slums to squeeze public housing..."

'It seems that poor Mr. Mark has still fallen into the trap. '

Aaron's expression remained unchanged, and he asked, "That 'Eugene', what does he look like? Did you go to Glamorgan Field to call the police?"

William Mark's eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to have not rested for a long time. After a brief description, he sighed: "I thought the other party was a gentle and wise Extraordinary, but in fact... his so-called 'witchcraft' , is a trick!"

'Well, from the description, it looks like the leader of that scam gang. '

Aaron nodded secretly, thinking that when he left last time, he gave each of those guys an evil spirit mark.

'Using this clue to divination, none of them can escape, maybe we can let Sylvia become an enthusiastic citizen later? '

He continued to listen to William Mark's grievances: "I also specially found a middleman for the transaction, that is my friend Jackson, you also met at the party...but he also betrayed me! Aaron...I My friend, I really regret it!"

"Trust Glamorgan Field, those crooks can't get away."

Aaron comforted.

"I don't have any hope anymore. I just want to collect enough money as soon as possible to avoid bankruptcy and liquidation... Are you still interested in the 5% stake in the textile factory I mentioned last time? It only costs 1300 pounds!"

William Mark looked at Aaron expectantly.

'It seems that the factory's shares have also depreciated now, maybe it has been maliciously suppressed? '

'But... nothing is as big as my promotion right now. '

Aaron sighed: "Please let me think about it and give you an answer tomorrow."

Judging from the hours William Mark had been waiting for him, he didn't have much to go.
