Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Just as Scott pressed enter contentedly, there was a knock on his office door.

"Director Cartwright, the people from the Earth Church have brought all the information about the machine out-of-control case, including a tractor that has run away from control. It is now parked in the back street of the church."

Damien, a tall and thin man wearing smart goggles, walked into the office and placed a thick document bag and a bunch of keys on Scott's desk, and finally put a hockey on it.

"Okay, Feynaport's people have already contacted me online about this matter. I'll have our Pump Spark Research Institute check the tractor. Thank you for your hard work, Mechanical Heart. We will invite all parties involved in the case to hold a meeting at Saint Hillran Church. I'll trouble you to find a place for that."

"It's all right. It's my duty. Praise the God of Steam and Machinery."

"Is there anything else, Chief Cartwright? If there is nothing else, I will go to St. Hillran's Church first."

"Huh? Are you in such a hurry? I thought you would take the opportunity to sightsee here," Scott raised his eyebrows, without looking up, and began to ask habitually, "Is your Mechanical Heart busy recently?"

"Well... I've been busy these days. I was assigned by Bishop Wenceslas Cardan to organize a wheelchair racing competition. The prize money has been paid, and according to the schedule, the competition will begin in the next few days."

"Wheelchair racing competition? There's a prize? That boring old man Wenceslas would organize something like this?" Scott raised his head. "How much is the prize?"

This may sound a little outrageous at first, but it seems quite normal when it happens to our Steam Church.

"This was mainly everyone's idea, and then we all went to Bishop Cardin to submit a report and apply. After much discussion and persuasion, the Bishop finally approved the project."

Damien adjusted his smart goggles.

"The competition is divided into different groups according to age. The champion will receive a maximum prize of 5000 pounds, and the other places will have different prizes. There are a lot of prizes this time, and the consolation prizes are also considerable."

Damn, how could Wenceslas and his gang transfer so much spare money from Curry?

No, if you think you have too much money and want to spend it everywhere, you can leave it all to me!

You don't need it, but I do need money!

Scott said nothing, but he felt a little depressed, so he didn't say much. After handing over the documents, Damien left the underground laboratory.

In some missions, Scott Cartwright would act as a senior deacon of the Steam Church, or act as the dirty gloves of the church to handle some shady matters, but Scott's real position was the director of the "Pump Spark" Research Institute, directly connected to the Steam Church's angel stationed in Backlund: Bonois Gustav.

In other words, under normal circumstances, Scott actually only took orders from Bonova. Bonova personally gave Scott the order to manage and oversee the Pump Spark Research Institute.

Pump Spark is a secret research institute established by the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery in Loen. The biggest difference of this institute is that under the protection of the God of Steam and Machinery, the Pump Spark Institute has an almost extraordinary isolated environment.

Anti-prophecy, anti-divination, anti-interference, all extraordinary forces are deposited at the moment of stepping into the pump spark. Then, all the laws of the material world are no longer concealed, revealing its truest face.

This is the mission of the Pump Spark:

Human beings will build their own pumps here and use the sparks to advance the progress of human civilization.

But for Director Scott Cartwright, that's more than what he expects from the Pump Spark.

In fact, the pump spark is under the Saint Hillan Cathedral, but it is very far away from the street surface, even deeper than the place where the Saint Hillan Cathedral has stored the sealed objects for thousands of years, just below the ancient underground city.

There is a powerful extraordinary suppression effect inside the Pump Spark Building. Except for the entrance elevator leading to Saint Hillran Church, other entrances are distributed throughout Backlund, and then they are teleported to their corresponding elevator entrances through some mysterious means, and finally descended into the underground through a long elevator.

Therefore, except for the senior leaders of the Church of Steam and Mechanics and a small number of church members, almost no one knew where the Pump Spark was hidden. Most people didn't even know the name "Pump Spark". The title "The Research Institute of the Church of Steam" was well-known and catchy.

As for why the God of Steam and Machinery chose to set up such an important place in Backlund instead of its headquarters in Intis, Scott thought that on the one hand, it might be related to Backlund's unique and advanced academic atmosphere. On the other hand, it might be related to the Church of St. Julie of the Church of the Night, which had the same silent attribute and was established more than ten years earlier than Pump Spark.

In this kind of bizarre case of mechanical failure, the pump spark is definitely the best place to check and verify.

Scott, alone, began to pore over the documents.

These Feynapotters really sent their machines and people to Loen openly...

Another troublesome thing, Scott pushed his old glasses.

The automatic machine, which had been in use for less than a year, suddenly lost control and ran rampant in the fields, creating a huge strange pattern.

The farmers who were on duty at the time experienced varying degrees of mental damage. Some of them later developed high fevers and even became unconscious. They are currently receiving treatment at the local Earth Church Hospital.

The farm of the Church of the Earth uses the machinery, the Church of Steam designs and produces the machinery, and the Abraham Technology Group is responsible for satellite positioning support and operating software.

This document shows that because the order was small, Abraham simply outsourced the software part.

Logically, this should be a very standard, inconspicuous business cooperation, and the amount is not very large. Compared with Backlund's exaggerated daily transaction volume, it is simply a drop in the bucket. And there were no accidents in the less than one year of use, but now suddenly this batch of goods has gone out of control.

Scott opened the information of the software outsourcing company and took a closer look. This software company is not big, but it is quite famous in the industry and is a top model in the industry. The project team responsible for this outsourcing project also has many top elites. They are not only responsible for the initial development of this system, but also responsible for the subsequent maintenance and upgrading of the software.

The contract and plan show that if the sales of this automatic agricultural machinery are good, the software part of this series will also be completed by this outsourcing company.

There were not many people on the project team, so Scott checked their files one by one until a name caught his eye.

"Cline Moretti."

Moretti is a common surname, but there is only one Moretti in the entire project team.

Mechanical and software inspection and screening reports came in one after another from various departments of the institute, but the more Scott looked at the reports, the more frightened he became.

Especially the test report on the software. It is not to say that there are any huge mistakes in the software programming this time. On the contrary, the programming this time is very good, even perfect. The streamlined and efficient program logic, accurate and easy-to-understand typesetting and naming, the entire programming department is cheering for this software, clamoring to worship it as a work of art dedicated to the god of steam and machinery.

This program is surprisingly perfect, and there are no bugs no matter how you run it.

Scott narrowed his eyes, he smelled traces of extraordinary power.

...Klein Moretti...Klein Moretti...

After pondering for a moment, Scott printed out the wanted poster and took the elevator directly to the ground floor. Ignoring the contempt of Bishop Wenceslas Cardin, he walked straight to the solemn gate of the church.

Then he quickly put an A2-sized wanted poster on the bulletin board next to the gate.

"Urgent! Field Moretti, reward of 1000 pounds."
