Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery
#186 - False Altars and True Altars
Audis used a "teleportation array" to escape back to the basement of 77 Hilton Avenue: "Leader's" secret has been discovered!
The "Leader" "account" that he painstakingly managed can no longer be used, but with the support of the "Mechanical Heart," he can reconvene the Esoteric Research Society after a period of time.
It's just that the new gathering will have to wait until the negotiations with "Military Intelligence Section Nine" are over before it can be convened again.
Audis felt that his head was still very uncomfortable from the impact of the blast wave, but he immediately pried off the "Ahona Crystal" worth more than four thousand pounds from the array to prevent the people from "Military Intelligence Section Nine" from immediately chasing after him.

Then, he took out a glass bottle that had been placed next to the array but was being used for the first time, uncorked it, and splashed the liquid inside onto the wall, completely destroying the array.
In this way, even with extraordinary means, it would be difficult to find this place for a while.
Finally, Audis took off his mask, took off his somewhat tattered cloak, and took them away, leaving here as Audis.
All along, in order to prevent today's situation from happening, Audis has tried to cover his face as much as possible when entering 77 Hilton Avenue, so the surrounding neighbors are not clear about his appearance.
As usual, Audis tried to cover his face with his collar and hat brim when he went out, and he quickly hailed a taxi carriage and stopped at a hotel two streets away.
Entering the hotel, he used forged documents to get a room and paid for a week.
Audis opened the door to the room and sat on the edge of the bed in the hotel, and he breathed a sigh of relief. With the operations just now, it was certain that "Military Intelligence Section Nine" would not be able to investigate Audis within a few days.
He rested for a while before escaping through the back window. After walking two streets, he took a taxi carriage to the Backlund Mechanical Research Society.
Today, the official Beyonders were still very busy, and Max was not there, but Audis met Captain Ikanse and described today's encounter.
After listening, Captain Ikanse frowned: "It is indeed a bit too much for 'Military Intelligence Section Nine' to do this. Even if they suspect you, they can't just arrest people like that."
He thought for a while and then said: "Since Audis's identity has not been exposed, you go back first, and I will immediately question 'Military Intelligence Section Nine' and let them stop arresting you.
"When the opportunity is right, I will invite people from 'Military Intelligence Section Nine' to the Mechanical Research Society, and you will also come at that time to explain what happened in person."
The so-called clarifying in person is to dispel some of the "Military Intelligence Section Nine's" doubts and tell them that the "Mechanical Heart" will not give up on "Leader."
Audis nodded, fairly satisfied with this answer.
After returning to 77 Hailing Avenue, Audis drank a cup of tea and waited for the tinnitus caused by the impact of the blast wave to disappear before he opened the intelligence he had brought back from 199 Hairun Avenue and continued to study the extraordinary cases that had occurred in the past two days.
From yesterday afternoon to last night, there were another 6 extraordinary cases. Judging from the descriptions, they were also extraordinary cases caused by the overflow of power from this evil god's descent ritual.
Audis looked at the map that he had drawn so full, and finally had some ideas.
At this moment, a layer of illusory feathers suddenly appeared in the room. It was a pair of pure white illusory wings. The wings opened, and Bernadette walked out from inside: "I have found the location of the altar."
Audis first glanced at the map in front of him again, and then asked, "Where is it?"
"It's in that Fourth Epoch ruin!" Bernadette said: "They actually used the anti-divination characteristics of that ruin to build a secret space inside."
That's why she hadn't found the trace of the altar all along.
Audis said: "Tell me the specific location, and I will notify the official Beyonders."
With a wave of Bernadette's hand, several exquisite sketches appeared on Audis's desk: "Following the sequential order of the scenes described in these sketches, you can find the altar.
"On the last page, I noted how to enter the space they built."
Bernadette gave this information to Audis in the hope of using the power of the official Beyonders to destroy the "Moses Ascetic Order's" altar.
Audis nodded: "I'll go to the 'Mechanical Heart' now."
Taking the information, Audis suddenly stopped after taking two steps: "I will tell them that I got the information from the 'Mysterious Queen'."
An altar of this level is obviously not something a Sequence 7 can find.
Bernadette "hmm"ed and disappeared from Audis's study.
Audis took a taxi carriage and came to the Backlund Mechanical Research Society again. Captain Ikanse had just returned from "Military Intelligence Section Nine."
Audis immediately stepped forward: "Found it!"
Ikanse was slightly stunned for a moment, then understood what Audis had found: "To my office!"
The two quickly came to the second floor. As soon as they closed the door, Audis immediately said: "Just now, the 'Mysterious Queen' found me, gave me these sketches, and told me that if I look for them in the order marked on the sketches, I will be able to find the altar."
Ikanse was stunned: "How did she know you were our informant?"
"One of her subordinates bought information from me." Audis lied: "Of course, I didn't know it was a subordinate of the Mysterious Queen, but now that I think about it, it should be her."
"I didn't expect that there is such a large Fourth Epoch ruin deep underground in the dock area." Ikanse glanced at the sketches and said: "I will immediately give this information to Bishop Horamick."
Coming out of the Research Society, Audis should have breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't feel any relaxation at all.
Returning to his study and seeing the map again, Audis realized what he was worried about.
Theoretically speaking, that Fourth Epoch ruin is the best choice for the "Moses Ascetic Order" to set up an altar, but all of this seems too logical.
This made Audis recall the ambush by the "Moses Ascetic Order" that he encountered when investigating Bernie's residence before.
Looking back now, I always feel that the ambush was a bit too perfunctory.
They only sent a Sequence 6 to arrest a Sequence 7, which was like them telling Audis: You have to be careful, we are still arresting you.
At the same time, it was also like telling Bernadette: We are still in Backlund.
Later, Bernadette actually found the Fourth Epoch ruin by tracking the members of the "Moses Ascetic Order".
All the clues seemed to lead logically to the location of the altar.
Thinking of this, Audis continued to study the map he had drawn. He gradually had a guess and immediately whispered the honorific name of the "Mysterious Queen": "The Holy Spirit who pursues knowledge;
"The Lighthouse of the Mysterious World;
"The Eye that Peeps into Fate;
"The King on the Sea;
"The Holy Bernadette Gustave."
He waited for a few seconds, but there was no response, so he whispered it a second time.
Just after finishing speaking, a vague and majestic figure appeared in Audis's mind, and a voice full of majesty came: "What's the matter?"
"We seem to have a misunderstanding before." Facing the great pressure that Bernadette showed, Audis lowered his head unconsciously: "Why does the 'Moses Ascetic Order' have to set up the altar in Backlund?"
Theoretically speaking, doing so is actually very risky. The key is that the power of this ritual will also overflow, and the demigods of Backlund can completely detect the ritual in progress.
They don't need to do this at all. Finding an uninhabited area seems to be a safer way to complete the ritual.
But they chose Backlund, where "demigods are everywhere," which is very strange in itself.
Bernadette paused before asking: "What are your thoughts?"
"They need a lot of life!" Audis guessed: "At some point in the ritual, they must need millions of lives!
"In that case, conducting the ritual in a metropolis is the best choice.
"But in this case, the altar must be hidden well.
"Maybe they decided to conduct this ritual after finding that Fourth Epoch ruin.
"But they felt that this was not enough, because that ruin is hundreds of meters deep underground, and there are not many lives around!
"Most likely, they used this ruin as a 'smokescreen'."
After Bernadette paused, she asked again: "Where do you guess the altar is?"
"In the East End," Audis pointed to the map he had drawn: "The most densely populated East End."
No mistake, one first, one issue, one content, one in, one look, one look!
From the information he has obtained so far, this "Evil God Descent" incident has triggered 16 extraordinary cases.
Currently, the official Beyonders have just established a joint investigation team, and the cases they know may not be as comprehensive as Audis's.
Judging from the location of the 16 cases, they are roughly happening around the East End.
The West End, which is the farthest from the East End, has only had one extraordinary case so far.
And so far, no extraordinary cases have occurred in the East End, which is strange in itself.
Extraordinary cases are not like the robbery cases that often occur in the East End that will not attract attention. After the case occurs, even if no one reports it, the official Beyonders can find something wrong.
Thinking of this, Audis sighed: The disaster-ridden East End!
Bernadette asked again: "The specific location?"
"Not sure." Audis said: "I need to find a friend to help me and let him help me determine the approximate location."
Audis planned to ask Klein for help to see if he could use the clues on the map he had organized to roughly divine the location of the altar.
Of course, if it were an ordinary "Magician," there would definitely be no way to divine anything from such abstract things, but Klein was different.
This map was equivalent to an abstract collection of the consequences caused by the evil god's descent ceremony. "The Fool" could completely use these abstract things to divine some clues.
After going out, Audis first sent a telegram to the Backlund Mechanical Research Society, telling them that he had new clues.
Then he came to 15 Minsk Street and found Klein waiting there.
"I have discovered some clues..." As soon as he entered the living room, Audis did not hide anything and explained the general situation: "Now I really need you to perform a divination to see where the 'Moses Ascetics Society' altar is roughly located?"
He paused and then said: "If this divination is difficult, just divining whether it is in the East End will also work?"
The rest would be left to the official Beyonders to investigate.
Klein did not decline. He nodded and said, "I need a quiet divination environment."
Audis immediately got up and waited in the outer living room.
Although Klein was alone in the room, he was still very careful and pretended to create an altar, placing the map Audis had brought on the altar.
Then he prayed to himself, put on a praying appearance, and entered "above the gray fog" to perform the divination.
Arriving "above the gray fog," Klein sat at the head of the long bronze table and used his own star to establish a connection with the map on the altar.
At this time, Klein saw a nearly transparent human figure in the corner of the room.
That was Bernadette's "Invisible Servant"!
Fortunately, Klein was so careful, otherwise Bernadette would have seen something.
Klein frowned, thinking it was an official Beyonder who had followed Audis. This ritual was equivalent to exposing Sherlock Moriarty's hidden faith.
But thinking that "Sherlock Moriarty" had recently been accidentally involved in a Beyonder case that seemed to be manipulated by 0-08, and was about to leave Backlund, there was no need to worry too much about this.
So he continued to divine.
At this time, under Bernadette's command, the "Invisible Servant" looked at the symbol in the center of the altar. This was a symbol she had never seen before, and it should represent a hidden existence.
Soon, the great detective seemed to have finished "praying" and quickly drew a sketch with paper and pen.
It was a three-story building, which looked a bit mottled and did look like a house in the East End.
"I have divined a clue!" Klein said loudly.
Audis hurried in, took the sketch and glanced at it: "I will immediately have people look for this building!"
He said as he walked out: "If the official Beyonders issue a bonus, I will definitely give you a portion!"
Without waiting for Klein's reply, Audis had already left the door and first came to the telegraph office to send several telegrams.
Although the "Leader" "account" could not be used, this did not prevent Audis from bypassing the Mysticism Research Society and directly sending telegrams to several members, issuing emergency missions.
After the telegrams were sent, Audis took a carriage and came to the Backlund Mechanical Research Society again.
Of course, he would not be foolish enough to confirm such a high-level altar himself.
Captain Ikanos was already waiting in the hall of the Mechanical Research Society. As soon as Audis entered the door, he greeted him and said, "Members of the Mysticism Research Society have sent a telegram saying that the building you described is at 16 Graystone Street in the East End."
In the telegram Audis had just sent, he had asked members with clues to send the clues to the Backlund Mechanical Research Society.
He didn't expect a reply so quickly. Obviously, the other party knew where the building was, so they immediately sent a telegram back to the Mechanical Research Society.
Audis breathed a sigh of relief: "Then, please have Bishop Horamick go there immediately!"
Captain Ikanos took a deep breath and whispered to Audis: "I can't contact Bishop Horamick!"
He paused and then explained: "Bishop Horamick, along with Archbishop Anthony Stevenson of the Church of the Night Goddess, Archbishop Ace Snake of the Church of Storms, and Duke Grove Augustus, cannot be contacted."
Audis thought to himself: "Damn, could it be that they fell into the 'Moses Ascetics Society's' trap because of the previous 'fake altar'?"
Then he smiled bitterly. If the official Beyonders lost four demigods, at least the Church of Steam and Machinery would have to get an angel to protect themselves.
