Mystery: Shadow of Order - Chapter 385 The last tarot meeting in 1349

Even, abandoning the existence of Beyonders, the prime minister who holds the executive power of the country and the head of the intelligence agency directly under the king are extremely taboo.

Although because the Augustus family has a huge power, even if the Prime Minister and MI9 are united, they cannot threaten their status and rule, but they will not allow such a thing to happen. This is based on political considerations.

The tit-for-tat between Agusid and Sert is actually a political game.

Because of Lockhard's identity and escape from prison, MI9 was seized, and the handle was still in the hands of the Prime Minister and the Negan family who could threaten its existence. As long as parliamentary impeachment is set off, Selt himself will naturally resign.

Although in Rawls's point of view, a demigod does not need to be restricted by MI9 at all, but Sert's performance is obviously unwilling to give up, so he has to stay here to make a deal with Prime Minister Agusid.

But the situation of MI9 itself is extremely complicated, and it is not something that a single director of Sert can call the shots, otherwise there will be no multiple deputy directors and factional struggles.

"What's your opinion, Mr. Prime Minister?"

"I said I have no right to interrogate MI9."

Another familiar rhetoric, Prime Minister Agusid will never show that he wants to intervene in MI9, even though this is what he thinks.

Selt twitched the corner of his mouth and said sternly:

"But Parliament has the power to make demands on MI9, doesn't it?"

"I will seek the opinion of Parliament."

"Then I'll come back tomorrow to listen to the opinion of the council." Seeing Agusid finally nodded, Selt continued to talk about Lockhard's situation, "After Lockhard escaped from prison, he first escaped to Cameron in the southern area of ​​the bridge. 71 Street, where a 'gatekeeper' attacked him, probably both sides had scruples and left each other after hurting each other.

Lockhard suffered a second attack during his escape and died at the exit of an alley in the southern area of ​​the bridge. Because he had done corresponding interference in order to avoid divination and prophecy before, and knew who the people who attacked him twice were from the same organization.

However, judging from the last time Qilingus who assassinated the Duke was killed by a high-sequence Extraordinary of the 'corpse collector' pathway, there are two speculations. The first is that these people are from the same organization, just to avoid exposure, to silence Lockhard and others. The second, the two sides are hostile, is also the most likely situation. "

Lockhard was attacked by a "gatekeeper"? Killed by a second person? When did Backlund have a "gatekeeper"? Is it the mysterious man in Hugh's mouth who was following Azik Eggers? Who is the second person? Wouldn't it be Klein?

Rawls, who was still laughing at his guess just now, suddenly narrowed his eyes. This may not be impossible.

There is a mysterious man next to Azik Eggers. This is because Rawls fanned the wings of the butterfly, and the existence of this mysterious man does exist. Dunn Smith, the former captain of the Tingen Nighthawks team, his The corpse disappeared.

If the person who attacked Lockhard is Dunn, then the second person is very likely to be Klein! But no tarot cards left?

Tomorrow is the Tarot Club, you can test Mr. World.

Agusid nodded. Whether it was the first time or the second time, Qilingers, Jason Beria, and Lockhard all had a chance to escape. In this case, the possibility of silence is unlikely. high. If it's a hostile organization, that makes sense.

"In either case, we must investigate the 'gatekeeper' and the organization behind him. If we find out about them, we will have a chance to know who is plotting to assassinate my brother!"

"At present, there is a preliminary guess that this matter is related to Azik Eggers. He is a high-sequence powerhouse of the 'corpse collector' pathway. He is accompanied by a 'gatekeeper'. The first shot may be Azik. Ke Eggers."

As the director of MI9, Sert raised his vigilance when Ards Eggers suddenly appeared in Backlund. An active angel on the ground could have a devastating impact on the city. It was linked to the assassination of Duke Negan by Zieringus.

Qilingus can be killed without any resistance, only a demigod, and from the scene, it is a demigod of the "corpse collector" path. Azik Eggers perfectly fits this situation, so MI9 He was wanted without hesitation.

"Him?" Agusid was a little surprised. He was not a Beyonder, but he also understood the meaning of the word.

Selt glanced at Rawls, nodded and said:

"Yes."

"Is MI9 sure?"

An angel is no longer something MI9 can compete with. There are not many existences of this level in this world. In the seven major churches, only the Pope and some ascetic monks have reached this level.

Seirt remained silent. He could see a little more information. Azik Eggers was active at the end of the Fourth Epoch. He became the baron of the Loen Kingdom.

At that time, the four countries of the Northern Continent were still digesting the catastrophic consequences of the "Pale Disaster" and the crisis brought about by geographical conflicts, and the Augustus family did not take action against them. When the time is right, the "Death Consul" has disappeared, leaving only the heir, and even if he was poisoned to death, he did not appear.

In the more than a thousand years that followed, it would appear occasionally, but it all appeared in a strange identity. Until now, it has reappeared, and it has regained its appearance, but it has become a university teacher.

"I see, I'll tell Philip." Agusid took a deep breath, and his gray-blue eyes suddenly lost their light.

"Then I'll say goodbye first."

Selt also sighed and walked out of the living room.

Rawls could only pretend to be puzzled, looked at the old man sitting on the sofa, and comforted softly:

"Mr. Prime Minister, you..."

"Don't worry about me, it's getting late, you can stay here today. Philip may still need you..." Agusid raised his hand, leaned on the sofa, closed his eyes, and stopped talking. .

"OK then."

Rawls didn't say more. Under the guidance of the housekeeper, he came to the previous room again. Not surprisingly, not long after, he heard Philip's low roar from the study.

Standing in front of the window, looking at the crimson in the sky, thinking about some of Selt's actions, there are still many doubts, but unfortunately Agusid did not put forward conditions, and Rawls also had a hard time grasping the truth of the MI9 director's heart. Thought, but I could vaguely feel that this demigod did not bow to the Agusid and Negan family just to keep his position.

……

Chorwood District, 12 Crystal Street, 10:30 in the morning.

Forsi curled up on the warm bed, only the slightly curly brown hair remained outside the quilt.

The body inside the quilt squirmed a few times, and a hand quietly stretched out from the edge, slightly stimulated by the cool air, and immediately retracted. After a few seconds of calm, Fors suddenly lifted the quilt, and her pale blue eyes looked at the windowsill vigilantly. Her spirituality told her that there was someone there, and that she and Xiong were the only ones in this house!

In the middle of the night last night, Xio suddenly came back and asked her to help hold a purification ceremony to eliminate the negative effects of the mask. At the same time, she also said that Bellotto 9, where she was located, was canceled and would be relocated overnight.

It is impossible for her to come back at this time, let alone appear in this room suddenly.

In front of the windowsill, Alysia dressed as a rider looked at the sky in the direction of the sun even though it was covered by gray and yellow clouds, her tone was indifferent:

"Since you've become an 'astrologer', why don't you 'play'?"

Forsi, who was suddenly startled, was relieved after seeing who it was. Hearing this question, he became nervous again, and his brain worked frantically, and he found the reason in an instant:

"I originally wanted to find a divination club to try to play the role, but recently because of the assassination of Duke Negan, the three major churches and MI9 have been operating more and more frequently. I was afraid of being discovered by them, so..."

"Then why don't you go to Pritz Harbor, Dorian and the others can teach you better when they are there." Alysia was still standing there.

"Uh, Mr. Lawrence's health has begun to deteriorate, Mr. Dorian is taking care of him, so I have no choice but to..." After speaking, Fors felt that the reason seemed unreasonable.

Alysia's slender eyebrows moved. The last time she saw Lawrence Norton, she noticed that the other person's health was very bad. This was not a disease, but a previous injury that had shortened her lifespan. The "astrologer" could not. extend your life.

"I see."

Forsi was still considering whether to find another reason. Hearing Alicia's words, she raised her head subconsciously, but found that the person had disappeared.

call

Fortunately, she didn't continue to ask, otherwise I wouldn't know any reason to deceive a "law order mage"... Fors sighed, since Xio became an "interrogator", any reason and lie she found can be dismantled.

So Alysia is looking for two teachers now?

Forsi fell on the bed with a "bang", pulled up the quilt and covered him, but the sleepiness had long since disappeared, and he lay on the bed for a few more minutes, then got out of bed and took out a transparent crystal ball from the drawer.

She has to divination where she is suitable for her role, and when Alicia arrives, she will be able to make up a better reason.

If it's appropriate, then wait until next week... well, after the New Year, before trying to play the "astrologer".

……

15 Minsk Street, one o'clock in the afternoon.

Klein looked at the group of children who were helping to clean the house, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. The New Year was approaching, and there was always going to be a big cleaning. Of course, he asked the "Children's Home" to help. In addition to giving some more money and sugar, he also asked about MI9's actions after Lockhard escaped from prison.

In order to avoid trouble, he didn't wait for the at least 10,000 pounds of "chaotic mentor" characteristic to come out and left, and when he thought of this, he felt a pain in his heart. But he had no choice but to do it. The methods of the "Twilight Hermit Society" that would definitely be known made him a little afraid, and he was deeply afraid that it would bring the same danger as the "Wolfman" characteristics that were still on the gray fog.

call

Klein shook his head, picked up the brush, walked into the bathroom, and started to clean the toilet.

When the house was almost cleaned, he took out the candy he bought in advance and greeted the two children he was familiar with:

"Joel, Jack, divide up all these candies, they're from Hillier Candy Store!"

The half-race Joel scratched his head and looked at his younger brother and sister who showed longing in his eyes, so he could only thank:

"Detective Moriarty, thank you."

His words aroused cheers from the children, who shouted in unison:

"Thank you, Detective Moriarty!"

"Okay, okay, don't be polite to me."

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Klein handed the candy to Joel.

……

The hour hand was about to point to three o'clock, Klein walked into the bedroom, and Joel told him that Ian did not behave in any special way. It should be that he hadn't received the news yet, or MI9 concealed the news.

He took four steps backwards, came to the top of the gray fog, and skillfully sent a notification to Derrick the Sun:

"Prepare for the party".

In the open-air camp that was burning with flames and was always guarded, Derrick, who was backed by a stone pillar, was asleep and recovered his strength. He dreamed of an endless gray and white fog, and dreamed of an ancient chair located at the highest point in the center. And the indifferent figure sitting on the chair, looking down at everything, and heard the voice from Mr. Fool.

Yes, Mr. Fool. Derrick answered silently, counting his heartbeats silently.

His eyes never opened, as if everything that happened just now was just an interlude in a dream.

There is still a long time before departure, enough to complete the Tarot party... He thought happily.

He originally thought that he who entered the exploration team would be absent from this gathering.

After 1,000 heartbeats~www.novelbuddy.com~ Derrick waited for a while before feeling like he had entered that quiet and peaceful temple.

Just as he opened his eyes, scene after scene flashed back in his mind, as if there was an external force that instantly reinjected all the lost memories into his head.

We've explored the temple five times... we've been living through this experience and there's no way to really end it! The more Derrick understood his sudden memory, the more frightened and horrified he felt.

Audrey the Justice, who was sitting on the other side of the long bronze table, originally wanted to greet Mr. Fool and everyone happily and briskly as usual, but she glanced at her and immediately noticed that Little Sun was in a wrong mood. He asked:

"Mr. Sun, what happened? Exploring the truth, um, the operation of the Temple of the Fallen Creator did not go well?"

Derrick the "Sun" seemed to have seized hope, and quickly described what had happened, and finally said:

"After that little boy was cleared by His Excellency the Chief, we all closed our eyes, and then woke up in the camp outside the city, ready to start a new exploration, with no memory of the past.

This process was repeated five times, with only slight differences in the details.

If it wasn't for the reminder from Mr. Fool, I wouldn't even know that I've been living a repetitive life all this time. "

He took it for granted that the extra memory after coming above the gray fog came from Mr. Fool's reminder, so he stood up and gave a solemn salute to the fuzzy figure sitting at the top of the long bronze table.
