Outside the Investigation Bureau, a decadent middle-aged man in simple clothes, unshaven beard, and coughing from time to time came to the door with some fear: "Excuse me... is this the Investigation Bureau?"
"Who are you?"
The detective in charge of the gate looked alert. There were not many people who knew the address of this confidential unit, and the other person didn't look like one of them.
"A mysterious person asked me to hand this letter to you, saying that you will know it as soon as you see it...ahem..."
The middle-aged man coughed a few more times and handed over a note.
The detective took it carefully, and after a quick glance, his expression changed drastically: "Follow me in!"
…
A moment later, outside the interrogation room.
Jacob held a note in his hand, with a playful smile on his face: "Is this the mysterious person who gave us Roberts' location information last time?"
"Yes, director!" The agent next to him wiped the sweat from his face: "The other party claimed to be the collaborator last time, and also knew the location of Earl Greenson's tomb. He could give it to us, but in exchange, we need Greenwood
No. 1 Mori Avenue, property of Sotos Museum!”
"It's interesting to actually make a deal with our investigation bureau!" Kaslo next to him rubbed his chin: "It's been a long time since I've seen such a bold and dangerous person."
"So... the question is, should we compromise?" Fiona looked at Jacob: "How about... please give instructions to your Excellency?"
"Promise him!" At this time, 'Philosopher' Sixtus was already standing beside him and said with a smile: "A museum has only a little historical significance, but actually has no value... If you can get the mausoleum as soon as possible,
News is the best result."
He had secretly entered the other party's mind maze, but found that the other party did not know anything about it. He was just an ordinary bankrupt worker. He got the letter and the task last night, and the other party promised to give him a large sum of money as long as he completed it.
And the way to get the answer is very simple.
Sistos and Jacob walked into the interrogation room and put the note on the table: "We agreed to the other party's request. If the news is true, he will get what he wants."
"Ahem...that's great."
An abnormal blush appeared on the poor man's face: "Ahem... My name is Raul and I am a miner. The doctor told me that I have contracted pneumoconiosis and there is no way to save me. As long as I complete the mission this time, my family will be safe."
You can get a lot of money..."
Fiona tilted her head unnaturally, but Sixtus was not surprised at all.
He had already seen these things just now.
"We agree to the conditions, let's get started... This piece of paper contains the power of the contract ceremony."
Sistos said.
"Yes, I learned for the first time last night that there is still a mysterious power in the world..."
Raul nodded: "Please give me a dagger..."
Jacob nodded, and an interrogator immediately handed him a knife.
"I'm a little afraid of pain..." Raul smiled bitterly, cut his finger, and let the blood drip on the note.
The bright red blood seeps into the paper, like a key, unlocking mysterious changes.
After absorbing the blood, another line of bright red writing emerged: "Suburban, Wickhanno Racecourse..."
"This is... a contract ceremony... of a very high level..." Fiona looked at this scene, thought for a while and said: "I seem to have seen it in an ancient book... The carrier of the information is a note, but it must be
The key to opening it the right way is not just Raul's blood."
"Yes, there is another layer of contract with Raul. Only after he hears our agreement to the terms, the contract in his heart is completed, and then his blood can be used to make the information on the paper appear...Complex Embedded Ceremony
…”
Sistos nodded: "The idea is quite sophisticated, but too cautious... Especially, it doesn't make much sense. What the other party wants is a museum. Even if we sell it, we can still monitor it... and we can take it back at any time. Of course,
We are not robbers. As long as the information provided by the other party is true and valid, it is not impossible to give it to him."
In fact, even the contract effect of the double ceremony is not impossible to bypass.
But obviously, the Bureau of Investigation doesn't have that much time.
Instead of wasting time on cracking the ritual, simply agreeing to the not-so-high conditions and getting the answer is the most efficient option.
Sixtos picked up the note, closed his eyes slightly, and solemnly declared: "The logical certification is passed, and the dialectics is valid!"
This is a strange and extraordinary ability that can confirm the authenticity of items and information through logical argumentation and philosophical thinking.
"Confirm location is real."
Jacob clenched his fists excitedly: "Notify, get ready for action!"
…
Iverbridge area.
In a cheap hotel room.
Gwen from the Sunset School was opening the curtains and looking at a fruit stall outside the church.
The vendor setting up the stall was confirmed by him to be the person spying on Nicholas.
However, the other party's purpose has always been unclear, which makes him a little worried.
At this time, he saw a group of people walking out of the church door, all following Nicholas Inam, who seemed to be preparing for a charity event.
"Gwen...that bishop is the student you selected?"
A voice suddenly came from the side. Gwen turned her head and saw a tall figure.
The other party was wearing a white robe that seemed to be woven from a single piece of cloth. He had flaming hair and his eyes were like two small suns, blooming with brilliance.
"Teacher! Yes, his name is Nicholas, his heart is bright..."
Gwen quickly bowed and saluted.
This person is one of the ‘Lamp Holders’ of the ‘Sunset School’, ‘Teacher of the Blazing Sun’ Sasluofi!
"There should be some secrets about the little guy. He survived from Roberts' hands last time and was cured of the pollution in his body and mind. It's very suspicious... Do you still want to apply for a ceremony for him?"
Sasluofi shook his head: "Gwen, you have been slacking off recently, which is not good! I will personally take action to find out the secrets hidden by your student, um... and the people who monitor him... Your mission has been
It’s done, and it’s done well. When you go back, you can prepare to hold the ceremony to unlock the third essence. When the time comes, I will personally act as your guide!”
The advancement in the mysterious system is often very bloody and cruel.
In particular, mystics of the same path and low level can even be directly used as materials for advancement!
The 'guides' are different. They can also help apprentices perform promotion ceremonies, but at the cost of actively losing part of their own spirituality, which becomes the motivation for the ritualist to advance.
This kind of thing that harms oneself and benefits others rarely occurs in the mysterious world, unless the relationship is particularly close.
"Teacher... Nicholas is a good boy."
Gwen couldn't help but defended, but when she saw the teacher's stern gaze, her voice couldn't help but become deeper...
