Mysteries: Arcana Wars
Chapter 66 Chase
After watching Klein disappear into the street, Leonard stood up, turned on the navigation, and headed towards the location of another great intelligence in the tribute case.
Ah, thanks to modern technology, combined with the Beyonders' outstanding spiritual intuition, the efficiency of the Night Watchers and Red Gloves in handling cases in the Sixth Epoch is much higher.
"I think it's necessary to remind you." Pales said in Leonard's mind, "Most of the navigation and positioning services in Loen use the satellite constellation of the Abraham family.
Leonard's hand froze as he flipped through the navigation.
...There is always a feeling that I will be led into a ditch unexpectedly...
Is this what Klein meant by the "good luck" of the old days?
Judging from the scenery in front of him, the intersection of Iris Street and Banyan Road where the smart Jerome Clay was should be not far from Leonard. He put away his phone and walked forward quickly.
According to the plan, after Klein left, he would control the secret puppet Sene Babu to escape from the inn, leaving enough traces on the street and completely escape the attention of the Church of Evernight.
The development of modern technology has not only facilitated the Sixth Epoch's ability to handle cases, but has also created great difficulties for criminals like the Tarot Club.
It would be fine if ordinary people committed some robbery and arson, but as soon as the files were handed over to the church and extraordinary forces intervened in the investigation, everything would become troublesome.
Especially in countries where the belief in the god of steam and machinery is prevalent, such as Loen, the ubiquitous cameras will provide officials with a steady stream of clues.
However, this does not mean that the evil has nowhere to hide. In the final analysis, it just makes things more "troublesome". Leonard, who has been solving problems in official organizations while creating problems for official organizations outside for more than a thousand years, has a deep understanding of this.
Order and peace are always relative and temporary, and no one can claim to own the entire Backlund. The dilapidated and chaotic underground cities under the thousand-meter layer are the best example.
The chase on the street was not only captured by the camera, but also seen by a large group of people. In this half-disabled state, Klein and Leonard could not erase the memories of so many people. Given the speed of response of the current church forces, the matter would definitely be known.
So in order to provide the Church of Evernight, which was investigating the case, with a more logical and complete misleading message, Klein controlled the puppet to go around in another circle under the surveillance and witnesses.
In this way, it would be easy for the Church of Night to come to the following conclusion: Senai Babu, who was hypnotized by Detective Leonard and put into the hotel, suddenly woke up, jumped out of the window and escaped. After being chased by the police all the way, he jumped into the river and disappeared.
...Well...it seems that I was at fault in this case...but at least I was able to catch one and find out all the details, so Gloria shouldn't blame me too much.
...When I think about it, I always feel a bit socially dead and ashamed...
"Your plan is really interesting." Pales commented on Leonard. "I'm curious, how does it feel to tell your subordinate who once admired you that you made a mistake and let a thief go?"
"...I don't have any experience with this. From my experience, Gloria wouldn't get angry or swear over this. She is a girl with a lovely temper."
Leonard held up his cell phone and pretended to talk to Pales.
"Oh? Well, I have been dealing with that bishop for three hundred years after all. I have not experienced any of your cuteness at all."
"That's not what you call dealing with someone. It's just checking up on them during the holidays! You're just the one being checked up! Can you have a conversation about life with a Sealed Object?"
There is nothing wrong with saying that you are really making a phone call.
Leonard learned from the old man that after the Sky War, Pales was seriously injured again. This time, because Pales protected the newly built St. Juli Church during the Sky War, the Church of the Night agreed to let the old man recover under the protection of the Church of the Night to express gratitude.
It was called blessing, but in fact it was no different from house arrest. As long as Pales's real body left 7 Pinster Street, Gloria would immediately call for help, or even let a higher-ranking clone walk around the street. The next night, the red gloves from St. Juli's Church would come to the door with a bouquet of black roses and spiritual weapons, and ask attentively if the gentleman needed any help.
More often than not, Pales would send out a low-sequence clone to go out and buy groceries, and then bring back some Steam Daily or other newspapers such as Tussock News or Moon News.
"Praise of the Stars"? Of course there is, but it's a pity that it only comes out once a week.
Therefore, under the dual effects of injury and surveillance, Pales could only parasitize a lower-level clone on Leonard, and could not help much in the fight.
Leonard agreed with Emlyn's point of view. The current Tarot Club should be renamed as a rehabilitation hospital, and even the doctor should be lame.
An inexplicable impatience rose in Leonard's heart. His spiritual intuition made him feel a little uneasy. He quickened his pace, fearing that something unexpected would happen if things were delayed too long.
After walking through the crooked path, Leonard simply tapped his teeth and released two spirits to scout ahead. This was only the first week after he woke up, and time was tight and work was busy. Leonard couldn't find any useful spirits, so he could only grab two natural spirits with some intelligence and sign a contract to use first.
Soon a spirit brought a message and saw Jerome on Iris Street making a phone call about a kilometer away.
Wait… call… call Senai Babu?
Leonard clearly remembered that during the arrest, they broke Senai Babu's phone.
So it was destined that Sene's call would not go through, and when Jerome found that no one answered the phone, he would... Oh no! He was going to run away!
The situation suddenly changed, and Leonard ran quickly, but at this distance, it was not enough for a Beyonder to run fast to seize the opportunity. He wanted to stop a car and requisition it, but realized that he had entered a small road with few cars in order to take a shortcut. It should be a special intersection planned for the church or the big hotel. Now there is no car around here.
But there is always a way out.
A tractor with a bucket attached was gleaming on the side of the road.
It looked to be in perfect condition, with timely maintenance, and some parts were even almost new. The carriage was painted with a dazzling red flag, and the streamlined shape of the carriage inexplicably reminded Leonard of the bride with a red cloth covering her head in the old days described by Klein.
Leonard then punched the bride's glass and broke it.
From some chaotic and evil perspective, a tractor is a car, and a tractor with a bucket attached is also a car.
It didn't matter that there was no key. A spirit received the command, rolled itself up and stuffed itself into the keyhole. With a loud bang, the bucket tractor started.
When people act with a strong goal in mind, their attention will be raised to an extremely high level. All irrelevant things will be ignored. All that is left in your eyes is the road ahead. You move forward courageously, as if the whole world is paving the way for you.
So Leonard never thought about why this tractor had a beautiful and streamlined carriage, why there were such exaggerated bumpers on both sides of the seats, why there were such large scales on the dashboard, and why the building here looked a bit like the back of St. Hillran's Church.
He just buckled his seat belt and put on his helmet subconsciously, without thinking about why a tractor had such a wide seat belt and such a thick helmet.
Do I need to wear a helmet when driving a tractor? Since it's here, I'll wear it.
So Leonard stepped on the accelerator without any preparation, and a strong force pressed his body firmly into the seat. The unruly pointer turned to 200 yards in the blink of an eye!
The shocked Leonard only then actually noticed the electronic instrument panel.
Goddess, what kind of tractor has a 300 kph scale on its dashboard!!
Even with a heavy bucket attached, this tractor is still fast and maneuverable under the power of its powerful electric engine.
The mechanical beast let out a huge and crazy roar, and the scale on the dashboard quickly dropped to a reasonable 100 kilometers per hour. The sharp wind was like a herd of cattle fleeing madly after being attacked by an alien god during migration in the southern continent. It spread its four hooves and ran into the car, punching Leonard in the face without saying a word.
For a second, Leonard even thought about calling Ms. Arianna and asking her if this was what it felt like to be a Knight of Misfortune.
After a while, a black sedan rushed into Leonard's sight from the intersection on the side, and then ran rampant on the street and fled all the way.
"Eat shit, Sivellas! You can't catch me, 'Field Moretti'!"
The suspect's wild shouting was drowned out by the strong wind, and passers-by on the street could only hear meaningless screaming, but as a high-status Extraordinary Being, Leonard could hear it all.
It's the escaped Jerome Clay!
Got you!
Leonard skillfully took out the folding alarm from his pocket and hung it on the roof of the car, then took out the folding horn, held the steering wheel with one hand and extended the horn out of the window with the other.
What Leonard shouted out through the loudspeaker at this moment was not a warning, but a poem published in the Steam Daily a few days ago.
"'I cried out in fear, my soul dried up with tears, my courage hid from the world'!"
Inexplicable fear spread in the street. Passersby who were already terrified by the pursuit of vehicles now screamed and fled, and Jerome in the car ahead even slowed down out of fear.
The horrific poem depicting fear played on the loudspeaker in a loop. Leonard sat back in the car and continued to activate his extraordinary ability seamlessly.
Nightmare·Dream!
Jerome was immediately drawn into an endless nightmare as the car lost control due to the driver's incapacitation. Leonard stepped on the accelerator and rushed forward, pulling the lever decisively, and the bucket in front of him overturned the car to the ground.
There was no oil leakage, no excessive sliding, no damage to public property, and no casualties. The angle was just right, just like frying eggs in a frying pan, but the reality was that both the shovel and the egg were running at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour on the big pot that was as stable as a mountain in the wind and rain.
Leonard braked again, and stopped steadily in front of the overturned car, opened the door and pulled out the unconscious Jerome. With a snap of his fingers, the violent and roaring tractor stalled.
The bright electronic screen is making its final flicker.
"FS03: fast, efficient and convenient."
“The best choice for your agricultural production.”
************
Andrea Esposito moved toward the back of the church while stretching her joints.
Mechanical Heart said that the tractor he drove here was completely fine. The "laboratory of the Steam Church" was even considerate enough to replace a few worn parts. Now the tractor girl looked like a brand new one and was parked in the cargo aisle behind the church.
This meeting was too long, which made Andrea very tired. As a background board, she was just a "topic" in the "borrowing topic" and had no sense of participation in the whole process, but she was very satisfied to watch the big drama.
The light outside gradually became brighter, and Andrea, who longed for freedom, couldn't help but be eager to try.
Oh my God, my tractor looks brand new!
Andrea fell to the ground with a thud.
?
What about a tractor as big as mine?
