Chapter 54: Quick Decision

"Klein, the information you and the captain got from Hood Eugen, does it mean that the purpose of Lanerwuss doing all this is to obtain 'divinity'." Leonard tilted his head, his face gradually turned pale.

livid.

Klein nodded stiffly and urged the coachman to speed up the drive.

As the horse accelerated significantly, Klein leaned back on his chair, deliberately lowered his voice, and answered Leonard's question.

"Yes, they are indeed seeking the so-called divinity."

"I think that bomb might be a person." Klein hesitated for a few seconds, and his left leg shook uncontrollably.

Leonard, who had been listening, nodded slightly, and after a second or two of silence, he exhaled in a deep voice:

"I have the same idea as you. When we arrive at the company, we will explain the situation to the captain first, and then apply for investigation of the lunatic asylum. Lanerwus must have brought the 'bomb' to Hood Eugen. This is why you are innocent.

Being attacked and hit twice was the direct cause of losing control."

"Hood Eugen must have encountered something during the ceremony he was responsible for, otherwise you would not have been harmed by the influence of the 'True Creator'!"

Although he fully agreed with Leonard's reasoning, Klein couldn't help but glance at his serious look and silently cursed in his heart:

"When did he become so sharp? It seems that every time he encounters some danger, he can suddenly remember some key things in the middle of the game. It's like watching the video of the game while playing a game."

The carriage was once again ruled by silence. The two night watchers, who seemed to have found a corner of the truth, listened to the noise outside the carriage, and their heartbeats continued to increase with the frequency of bumps.

Ten minutes later, the carriage finally turned into Zotland Street and slowly stopped in front of No. 36.

Leonard, who was physically stronger, rushed out of the carriage immediately and ran towards the door of the Blackthorn Security Company, leaving Klein alone at the door of the carriage, meeting the driver's surprised and angry eyes.

The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and he took out his wallet with heartache, ordered a few sulers, and paid the money to the coachman who was blocking the door of the carriage. After the coachman checked several times, he was put off the carriage.

I didn't expect that one day, I would be regarded as a bastard who didn't pay... Klein listened to the messy sounds coming from the company's unsecured door and slowly pushed open the nameplate.

's door.

As soon as he entered the company and entered the partition, he saw two acquaintances.

Councilor Maynard and her sister-in-law were being called out of the office by Leonard. Dunn smiled and invited them out, while Rosanne, who was supposed to be in charge of reception, had a blank look on her face, passively accepting Leonard's confused words.

explain.

Regardless of Roxanne's confidentiality level or the fact that there are outsiders present, Leonard cannot reveal the guess he made based on clues. This is a matter of principle.

After a while of prevarication, the lady wearing a long black dress and a soft hat of the same color left the Blackthorn Security Company with a strange look on her face. Dunn, who was still smiling beside him, quickly changed his expression and glanced at Leonard and Klein.

.

"You go to my office first."

Leonard, who was rejoicing that the irrelevant people had left, agreed to the captain's order without thinking about it. Klein, who had just entered the door and had not yet taken off his windbreaker, nodded and took it from the table as he walked to the partition.

He picked up the "Tingen Honest Newspaper" that Luoshan had placed on the front desk.

He held the newspaper in his hand and read it while, guided by Leonard's footsteps, he successfully entered the captain's office.

"Old Baron's Widow Dies for Involvement in Councilor Maynard's Murder Case"

"Mayor Mr. Dennis resigned and apologized for the deterioration of the security situation in Tingen in the past three months."

"Baron Hoy's mansion was bombed in a terrorist attack. The government once again emphasized the 'control of weapons prohibition regulations.' A new round of parliamentary proposals is suspected of passing relevant proposals"

...

"The New Party demands a thorough investigation into the improper political behavior of Conservative local councilors. The Conservative Party is suspected of being hit. Where will the new round of votes go?"

This has caused a chain reaction. It is estimated that the leader of the New Party who supports his daughter's revenge on the real murderer of her husband also has this consideration in order to rationally clean up the political power of the Conservative Party... Klein and he were in the newspapers,

Standing in the captain's office with Leonard, waiting for the arrival of captain Dunn Smith.

Less than a minute later, Dunn Smith's heavy and shallow footsteps gradually approached.

The gentleman with a high nose walked into his office, his deep gray eyes reflected the figures of the two team members in front of him, and he asked in a mellow voice:

"What exactly was found? What was the bomb that Leonard found?"

Klein and Leonard looked at each other. Leonard raised his hand and handed the envelope he got at No. 62 Halls Block to Dunn.

Dunn, who was originally relatively relaxed, read the letter full of madness and provocation. His relaxed brows tightened little by little, causing some small wrinkles to appear in the corners of his eyes.

Alas, he sighed, placed his left hand between his eyebrows, and rubbed his frowning eyebrows.

"This shouldn't be what makes you so nervous. Although it seems crazy, we can't determine the form and status of this bomb. What else did you find?"

"We connected the information we got before and made some judgments about the form of the so-called 'bomb'." Klein quickly answered Dunn's question, rolled his eyes, and glanced at Leonard beside him.

He clearly explained his speculation, "Based on some information we got when we asked Hood Ogenling and the situation at the time, we speculated that this so-called 'bomb' might be a person who was used by Lanerwuss.

, this is the reason why Hood Ogen, an extraordinary person in the spiritual field, was invited."

"Isn't the main reason why you were hurt at that time because of the image of the true Creator?" Dunn seemed once again unable to distinguish between dreams and reality, his thinking became stagnant, and he was unable to quickly mobilize his memory.

Klein paused, and then quickly listed the evidence for his guess.

"Captain, do you remember that Sirius, that member of the Aurora Society?"

"We discovered the connection between Lanerwus and the Aurora Society from that case, and then discovered the contamination of the true creator in Hood Ogen. Don't you think this is too coincidental, especially in Hood Ogen.

Is this ‘psychiatrist’ involved in the so-called plan?”

"Why was he later silenced by us at the hands of the Psychological Alchemy Society? Why was he not taken away? Does this also confirm that he was involved in some troublesome incident?"

"And if an extraordinary person in the spiritual realm participates in a plan, especially if he may also participate in a more important part, then this plan must involve someone. Lanerwus needs to use the power of the spiritual realm to influence someone

, so we suspect that the so-called 'bomb' may be on someone who was taken to the lunatic asylum by Lanrewus, which is also consistent with the fact that the 'bomb' is constantly moving."

Dunn, who had been lowering his head and listening to Klein's reasoning, suddenly felt pain in his brain. He pressed his forehead uncontrollably and nodded slightly, seeming to agree with Klein's point of view.

He straightened up and stroked his receding hairline with his right hand.

"This is indeed a more likely direction, but I must report the situation to the church first, and then consider subsequent actions. After all, none of us know the specific form of Lanerwus' so-called 'bomb', even if it is

In a certain person, it may just hypnotize that person and carry a seemingly inconspicuous thing 'reasonably', so we must be careful enough."

"Then why don't you check the list of visitors to the lunatic asylum first? Pay special attention to the people who went there with Lanervus, or who visited around the same time. These people are more likely to be taken advantage of by Lanervus." Leonard touched his right ear.

earlobe and asked seriously.

Dunn thought for a moment, nodded, and then opened his lips slightly, ready to agree.

"Excuse me, are you here to entrust a task?"

At this time, the three people in the office were in a quiet environment and clearly heard the inquiry from Luo Shan at the front desk.

Someone came to entrust a task at this time? Klein felt that his inspiration was affected, turned around and signaled to the captain, and walked out of the office first.

He made a few familiar turns and quickly walked to the front desk, only to see Miss Megoose, who had been defrauded by Lanerwus for money and sex, walking towards the sofa not far away with the support of Roxanne.

.

It didn't look like a commission... Klein was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously went to help.

Just when he was about to speak out, he suddenly remembered the "gossip" he learned while investigating Mr. Glacis:

"The girl from Ms. Christina's family, the girl who is pregnant with Lanerwus's child, she has not been in good spirits recently and has some minor physical problems... That girl is too sad and has to rely on herself recently.

eat......"

Klein thought of the worst possibility for no reason, and almost reflexively prepared to tap his teeth on the left side, activate his spiritual vision, and want to check on the spot whether this young lady was carrying a possible "bomb".

The moment his spiritual vision turned on, his eyelids were stained red with blood and he almost screamed.

His eyes looked directly at an existence that was too high!

"Angleweed!"

A roar like thunder suddenly exploded in Klein's ears, causing blood to trickle in his ears.

But at this moment, he didn't care about the blabbering that seemed to be in Elvish language, but focused all his energy on judging the current situation.

"I only had this reaction when I was divining the blood of the Eternal Blazing Sun and accidentally saw the true Creator. Even when Mr. Azik regained his memory, I was not hurt by the change of looking directly at him."

"There must be something in Megoos that transcends demigods, or its origin... What is in her belly?"

"Is this a so-called mythical creature?"

When he was awake due to pain, he felt that his eyes and ears were numb, as if he was fighting against the injury.

Only then did he remember a sentence that was repeatedly emphasized in the holy scriptures:

“Don’t look directly at God!”

After resting for more than ten seconds, Klein regained control of his body and quickly turned around. He saw Leonard who had just walked out of the corner of the partition. He looked at him with a look of shock. He seemed to be frightened by Klein's state.

I didn't notice Megoose behind me.

Fortunately among the misfortunes... the traumatized Klein waved his hand hastily.

"What's going on with you?" Leonard understood Klein's gesture, retreated behind the partition, and asked in a low voice.

Klein took a few deep breaths and leaned against the wall to relax for a second or two. While taking the handkerchief handed over by Leonard and wiping the blood flowing out of his eyes, he gritted his teeth and spoke quickly:

"Go and get Roxanne away quickly. Megoose's belly, and the child inside it, is the 'bomb' that Lanervus calls a divine creature!"

"Divine creature? How is this..." Leonard, who was subconsciously preparing to refute, suddenly stopped speaking. The expression on his face was out of control, and cold sweat gradually wetted his collar.

Why did Lanruth contact the Aurora Society?

Why was Hood Eugen given up by the Psychological Alchemy Society and not evacuating Tingen immediately?

Why does Lanerwuss, like a revolutionary who truly cares about civilian life, repeatedly emphasize the normal status quo of the industrialization era?

Why doesn't he seem to think he might fail?

Why am I here now?

"Why did the evil god come like this..." Under the call of a certain voice, Leonard gradually regained his stagnant consciousness, staggered back, and almost collapsed on the ground.

His dull and dilated pupils suddenly shrank, and his gaze turned to Klein, seeming to have regained his composure.

"You go notify the captain, notify others, and try to clear the entire company."

With only a touch of unnatural light red remaining on his eyelids, Klein stood up, nodded in action, brushed Leonard's shoulder, and trotted toward the telegraph room where captain Dunn Smith was.

"Old man, do you think I will die?" Leonard, who saw Klein disappearing at the end of the partition, suddenly spoke up and asked softly into the air in front of him.

"Who knows, I'm just an old man."

"If you want to survive, my suggestion is to leave Tingen now. This is not something you can deal with."

Leonard listened carefully to the meaningless answer in his mind, and walked out of the partition like a walk with his green eyes unmoved.

Looking at Roshan, who was chatting with Megoose about aesthetic magazines and gossips without knowing anything, he interrupted the two ladies' chat with a smile, and stood in front of the 'pregnant bomber' as if nothing had happened.

When he really saw this lady's smooth skin, long golden hair, eyes of the same color as his, and her melancholy and calm temperament, Leonard rarely lost his usual bohemian attitude, even the pretense he just made.

His composure also disappeared, and he could only forcefully grin the corners of his mouth under Luo Shan's surprised eyes.

"Miss Megoose, can I borrow Roxanne? She is needed for some things in the company."

His voice was magnetic, and although his breath was trembling, it added another kind of beauty.

Under this "sincere" request, Megoose's eyes suddenly became blank. After being lost for a moment, she said with a bright smile:

"Of course, but I still want to find someone to chat with."

"Of course it's no problem, I, I can fill Luo Shan's position."

Leonard's expression gradually changed. After receiving permission, he held Rosanne's wrist tightly without hesitation, dragged her behind him, and pushed her to the door.

"What are you doing?" Roxanne noticed Leonard's abnormality and did not delve into his impoliteness, but eagerly asked the reason.

"There is a 'bomb' on Miss Megoose. You should go home now and stay as far away from the company as possible." Leonard said a sentence of more than 20 words quickly and clearly against Roxanne's ear,

Nothing is blurry.

He took advantage of this opportunity and opened the door behind Luo Shan. Regardless of the reaction of the girl in front of him, he directly pushed out of the company with the help of his own body.

"Wait!" Roshan whispered, stopping Leonard from closing the door, her lips trembling, "Are you going to die? You, Captain, Klein, Sika, you..."

Leonard's movement of closing the door was hesitant for a moment, and then the incompetent poet smiled helplessly:

"possible."

Immediately, his movements resumed, and with a bang, Luo Shan was locked out of the company. For the first time, she felt the insurmountable gap between the two worlds.
