Chapter 1094 A sleepless person who doesn’t need to sleep
After observing the reaction of the person who occupied his body, Klein also agreed with the words of his grandfather. Although Zhou Mingrui is not a good person, his nature should be relatively simple and kind. In this case,
Maybe they can coexist after getting along for a while.
While he continued to observe, Zhou Mingrui had also left the Mo family headquarters. Now that he could wake up another soul in his body and control his body while sleeping at night.
Then he didn't need to think of ways to catch up on sleep during the day. Staying in the dormitory was safe, but it was not an option. It was better to go to the Church of the Goddess of Night.
It just so happened that he spent a whole pound to make an appointment for a blessing in the Church of the Goddess of the Night. This amount of money was already considered a huge sum of money for him.
Although it now seems that the things he was prepared for before were a bit fussy, but it can't be wasted, right? The Goddess of the Night Church is the same as the Mo Family Headquarters. You can basically ensure your own safety by just staying there.
Therefore, there is absolutely no problem in hiding there during the day and collecting some information about the Church of the Night Goddess.
In order to ensure the safety of his actions, Zhou Mingrui waited in his dormitory until nine o'clock, when the sky was bright enough and there were enough people on the street, before he set off. At this time, there was a chance that he would be attacked by the extraordinary beings hiding in the dark.
will be greatly reduced.
Taking the subway again, he still felt that this world was incredible. Technology was almost the same as it was before he traveled through time. If such a world develops into the future, it probably won't take long.
After getting off at the Church of the Night Goddess station, you will see the entrance of the Church of the Goddess of the Night church from the subway exit.
After Zhou Mingrui entered the church, someone welcomed him into a prayer room in the church.
This is a place for individual blessings for believers. The church is not completely deceptive. People who spend money to bless here will have good luck over a period of time and can avoid some catastrophic disasters.
After all, the goddess of the night also has the title of Queen of Fear and Disaster, which means that the other party can control her destiny to a certain extent. In the original work, Klein's extraordinary teacher, Old Neil, held an extraordinary ceremony to let the night
The goddess helped him solve the problem of owing thirty pounds, so he luckily found the wallet, and was thanked by the owner of the wallet for thirty pounds.
It can be roughly judged from this that most people who pray to the Night Goddess should automatically respond. After giving the correct rituals and prayers, the wish will be completed according to the process. Otherwise, the Night Goddess will be a bit too boring.
Believers are about to run out of money, so they have to take care of this kind of thing.
Zhou Mingrui was sitting in the prayer room waiting for the arrival of the priest. In the memory of the original owner of this body, his mother seemed to have brought him there once when he was a child, and then never came to the prayer room to receive blessings again.
, after all, before the arrival of the Mo family, their family's financial situation was not good.
Even the cheapest blessing was difficult to afford at that time. Zhou Mingrui, who was leaning on the back of his chair, felt relaxed unconsciously. In a trance, he saw a priest with gray eyes walking into the room.
, the other party's actions were capable and decisive, but after sitting down, he showed a trace of laziness, and he didn't look very much like a priest or priest.
When Zhou Mingrui was thinking this, the gray-eyed pastor sitting opposite him also asked: "Where did you go after you left the Welch's house?"
Zhou Mingrui: "!"
This question is obviously not something that a priest can ask. The Church of the Goddess of the Night is not the Mo family, and even the Mo family found out that he had been to the Welch house without directly checking it on the computer.
Faced with this kind of question, he could only choose to answer: "I don't remember it myself."
The gray-eyed priest seemed a little surprised by this answer, but he thought it was reasonable and continued to ask: "Do you still know where he is in the notebook you analyzed at Welch's house?"
Zhou Mingrui shook his head again: "I don't know, what happened?"
"Welch and his classmates committed suicide." The gray-eyed priest's words made Zhou Mingrui sweat with fear, but after a moment, the priest continued: "It's just that they failed to commit suicide. Now the last question. Do you know this
Where did this note come from?"
Zhou Mingrui frowned and thought, and then suddenly discovered a question, why did he come here to pray for blessings instead of a priest interrogating him here?
This is wrong. A normal priest would not do such a thing, and the other person asked so naturally. He seemed to think that he would answer his questions as a matter of course, and would not lie when he answered.
Does this mean that he is actually in a special state at this time. Under normal circumstances, he will tell the truth no matter what he asks, but he may be a little special?
When these thoughts were swirling in his mind, he also answered truthfully: "That book was bought by Welch. He may know the origin of the book. I was just asked by him to interpret the book together. I don't know the origin of the book."
How did the book come about?"
After asking these questions, the gray-eyed priest nodded: "Okay, your suspicion can be generally eliminated. During the previous ceremony, you may have really lost part of your memory. However, according to the monitoring provided by the Mo family,
It shows that after you left Welch's house, you held that note in your hand, and you chose secluded paths along the way, avoiding most surveillance cameras, so that no one knew where you ended up.
You have no memory of these things, do you?"
Zhou Mingrui: "!"
He didn't know these things at all and shook his head instinctively. At the same time, he also had a new understanding of the Mo family's abilities. These guys were able to install surveillance cameras in the streets and alleys of the city. Their control over the city was close to 21
century.
After the conversation, the gray-eyed priest left the prayer room, and Zhou Mingrui always felt a sinful feeling, and then he woke up in his chair as if he suddenly woke up from a dream, and at this time
The priest also walked in from the outside. But it was not the one with gray eyes that he had just seen, but the priest who looked familiar and seemed to often preach at the Church of the Night Goddess.
This time the content of the blessing was much more normal. The priest recited a prayer, lit a candle, dropped spices into the candle, and asked him to recite it together.
Zhou Mingrui was thinking about what he had just experienced. I am afraid that it was a dream guided by the priest with gray eyes. Most people do not lie when they dream, and their consciousness is hazy.
This is probably the reason why the other party subconsciously thinks that what he tells is the truth, and he seems to have some special ability to stay awake in dreams.
While he was still thinking, the blessing ceremony was over. The priest dropped a drop of spice on his forehead, and he always felt that his whole body became more relaxed, and the stress and shadows in his heart in the past few days disappeared.
They all disappeared. Although there were no gorgeous light and shadow effects, it seemed like he had really been blessed.
When he left the room, he saw the priest with gray eyes standing at the door, but he was no longer wearing a priest's robe, but a dark formal suit.
There is a badge with a landscape on the chest, and he is actually a police inspector. This is already a very high status in the police system in this small city.
"Can you come with me? You are suspected of participating in a dangerous extraordinary ritual, and I need to conduct some inquiries on you. Don't be afraid, this ritual did not cause any casualties, but in order to ensure your safety, I hope you will
My questions can be answered truthfully."
"Who are you?"
"Dunn Smith, a police officer."
Zhou Mingrui pretended that he didn't know the other person at all and didn't remember everything that happened in the dream, but he also found that he seemed to have made the right bet. Normal people would not stay awake when being pulled into a dream like that.
Dunn Smith asked him a series of questions repeatedly in reality, and he gave almost the same answers as in the dream.
Dunn nodded: "It seems that you are really an ordinary person involved in this matter. There is someone else behind the scenes. We are specially responsible for investigating these extraordinary things. For ordinary people, contact with extraordinary things
It's very dangerous, I hope you won't have the chance to come into contact with it next time."
As he was about to leave, Zhou Mingrui quickly stopped him: "If my previous suicide was really arranged by the mastermind behind the scenes, then I didn't succeed in committing suicide. Wouldn't it be very dangerous now? I can't leave like this, shouldn't I?"
Do you want to stay and keep me safe?"
The leaving police officer paused in his walking movements, but continued to leave as if he hadn't heard. Zhou Mingrui chased after him and shouted: "You will definitely protect me, right? You are the police, and you will not let me be in danger."
Among them, right?"
However, his words only made the other party go faster, and he was out of sight in the blink of an eye.
"This...isn't he using me as bait? It does seem so, but his acting skills are a bit poor." Zhou Mingrui had already chased him out of the church. At this time, he was thinking about whether he should go to the Mo family, return to the church, or
It's home.
After a brief hesitation, Zhou Mingrui gritted his teeth and decided to go home. He could not always hide in the Mo family or the Church of the Goddess of the Night. There was no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. Since the police officer wanted to use him as bait, then
There is a high probability that they will secretly ambush near their home to protect their own safety.
As long as he is vigilant enough, he should be able to find out the person behind the scenes who wants to assassinate him. In this way, he won't need to be worried every day in the future.
When he was thinking this, he had already returned home, filled the pistol he used to commit suicide with bullets, and then placed it on his bed, where he could easily touch it.
In the next day, he read as much as possible from the books on the table, learned about the situation on this continent, read the old newspapers at home, and learned about the great changes brought about by the Mohists over the years.
As the sky gradually darkened, he even cooked a dinner for the family. When it was late at night, he lay on the bed and pretended to go to sleep. In fact, he was ready at any time and took out the bag hidden under the bed.
pistol.
However, the feeling of sleepiness continued to invade him. After lying on the bed, it was impossible to stay alert at all times. In a trance, his consciousness fell into a deep sleep. Before falling asleep, he suddenly realized that the window
There seemed to be an unusual aroma wafting from the direction. He was not prepared and inhaled the smell! But soon, the strong sleepiness made him fall asleep.
At the same time, the door of the room was quietly pushed open, and a man wearing a black robe, covering the upper half of his face, was like a ghost, quietly walking closer to him who was lying on the bed and fell asleep.
of Klein.
Just when he was about to do something, the black muzzle of the gun suddenly lifted up and pointed at his forehead. Klein, who was obviously asleep, had already sat up at this time, with the hammer high on the pistol in his hand.
Raise it high, and as long as you pull the trigger, the bullet will smash the brain of the man in black robe.
"Raise your hands and stand back! My hands are shaking right now. If you don't do this, it's hard for me to guarantee that a bullet won't be shot into your brain." Klein was actually telling the truth. If it hadn't been for him
Even though he exerts all his strength to control, his hands will still shake because his current control over this body is not perfect yet.
The lower half of the black-robed man's face showed a shocked expression. He had just used incense with a sleeping effect to put the target into a deep sleep. However, it seemed to have no effect, and the opponent still had complete ability to move.
However, facing a pistol, he also knew very well that at this distance, the opponent could kill him with one shot, so he raised his hands and slowly retreated. When he retreated to the door, the man grabbed the door handle and shot it with a very high
He quickly flashed behind the door, seemingly trying to block his sight so that the other party could not shoot and hit him.
Klein didn't fire because he knew that his control over his body was too weak, and he couldn't hit anyone now. But he didn't need to fire, because as soon as he exited the door, there was a thump.
With a sound, the mantis stalks the cicada, followed by the oriole.
Dunn Smith with black eyes opened his door, and behind him was the assassin who had fallen asleep and fell to the ground.
"A very decisive response. You are basically safe now, at least temporarily, but in the future... we can't guarantee it. After all, when it comes to mysterious events, anything can happen. There used to be people like you.
Just like you, you got rid of the entanglement of bad luck. You even lived a happy life for a while, but not long ago, he committed suicide and strangled himself to death. But you don't have to worry too much. People who have come into contact with similar things
More than 80% of the time, you won’t run into trouble again. Of course, this is data based on my experience, and I haven’t calculated the specific probability.”
Klein: "..."
"I don't want to leave my life and death to chance. Is there a possibility that I can become an extraordinary person, or that I can learn more inside information and be prepared."
