Chapter two hundred and ninety-eight blackmail the poor god
Mr. "Emperor" wants to communicate with Mr. "World" alone?
Audrey blinked and quietly observed Mr. "Emperor" across from him. Although he had very little body language, it was still easier to observe his mental state than Mr. "World".
His body was very relaxed, and his hands were crossed on the table. He was very confident. He just raised his chin, and his eyes shifted a little towards Mr. Fool. What does this mean?
Before she could continue her observation, she found that the bodies of "Emperor" and "The World" had become molded, and they began to communicate alone. This made Audrey a little disappointed. The environment here was very unfriendly to "Mind Readers"
.
"The Fool" Klein looked straight ahead, seemingly looking at the crimson stars floating in the gray mist in the distance, but his eyes slipped past the "Emperor" from time to time. Above the gray mist, he felt the tension he had not seen for a long time.
, he could vaguely guess the reason why the "Emperor" wanted to communicate with the "World" alone.
Rawls put his elbows on the table and looked at the "world" without showing any body language with a half-smile:
"Last Thursday, an incident involving extraordinary people occurred on Aires Street in Jerwood District. The victims included Kapin, a wealthy man suspected of human trafficking, a Sequence 8 'sheriff', and a Sequence 7
The 'Interrogator', the perpetrator is called the Rogue 'Black Emperor', does Mr. World know about this case?"
Did you really connect this case with me? But is this a bit too arbitrary? Or did Mr. "Emperor" find something?
Several questions flashed through Klein's mind, and he manipulated the "world" and said in a hoarse voice:
"All the major newspapers in Loen have reported on this matter. It seems that this case has been taken over by your MI9."
It involves two Extraordinaries in the "arbitrator" path, and Kaping has connections with many rich people and nobles. It is normal for MI9 to take over this case. But he completed this performance in the spirit body, "
The anti-divination and anti-prophecy characteristics of the "Black Emperor Card" make most extraordinary abilities ineffective.
"Mr. 'The Hanged Man' said before that in the past two or three years, many indigenous tribes have been robbed in the southern continent, and slaves from plantations and islands have also escaped. I gave him a suggestion to look for suspected buyers.
The family even told him a clue - the rich man Kaping. But now, Kaping has been killed, and the existing clues also prove that he is indeed involved in human trafficking."
Then you should ask "The Hanged Man"... Klein secretly complained, but he also knew that with the identity and character of "The Hanged Man", he would only report it to the Church of Storms, and would not even report it. And compared to
Among the other members of the Tarot Club, "The World" is the most suspect.
In fact, after killing Kapin and the Beyonders who protected him, Klein could not scatter the Tarot cards on the discovery scene, and there was no need to risk appearing in front of the two powerful men after they arrived. But this time
In addition to rescuing the kidnapped girls, the operation also requires the active performance of a "magician".
It's just that Mr. "Emperor" seems to have said too much. No evidence has been found to prove that this case is related to "The World". Do you want to find flaws through "The World"'s answer? Is this the ability of the "Lawyer"? Or is it necessary?
Be careful...
"This case itself is nothing worthy of attention. Although it involves extraordinary people, it was reported and caused a great sensation. But in Backlund, such a thing will not affect for long, at most a week
will be forgotten by the people.
But compared to other cases, this case is slightly different. First, the perpetrator left tarot cards at the scene, which is not the first case in Backlund; second, the person who was killed
Extraordinaries are Extraordinaries of the 'Arbitrator' path, and such people almost all come from the military, nobles, royal families and groups related to them; thirdly, although those behind Kapin don't care about his death, they care very much.
They got sucked in."
Did MI9 connect the last time I killed Lanerwus with Capping? Although Klein was a little surprised, this connection is considered normal, even if ordinary people know about these two incidents.
There will also be associations. As for the people behind Kapin and the extraordinary people who protect him, even if they want to put pressure, it will be against MI9, and some of them may not even know that this department exists.
Rawls was still describing his views on the case unhurriedly. In addition to wanting to blackmail Klein, his purpose in doing so was to separate himself from the human trafficking.
He made up an identity for himself as a member of MI9, and vaguely revealed that he was from the Augustus family, although he never directly admitted his identity.
Such an identity has advantages and disadvantages. Especially after the Great Smog, Klein realized that human trafficking was related to the royal family, and he would definitely be suspicious of him, and would try to find out the truth about the Great Smog from himself, so he must
Pick yourself up before something happens, otherwise you won't be able to live peacefully in the Tarot Club in the future.
"What on earth do you want to say?" Klein suddenly realized something was wrong, and quickly controlled the "world" to interrupt the "Emperor".
"You were responsible for this crime, right?" Rawls raised his index finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture, "You don't need to deny it, and I don't need you to admit it. However, I have nine
I'm sure it's your fault, otherwise you would have interrupted me long ago."
Klein was a little helpless. He initially thought that the "Emperor" was going to find a flaw in his answer, but he didn't expect to find a flaw in "The World's" character.
"Whether it's you or not, I'm not interested in the Rogue Black Emperor. I'm more concerned about Kaping and the people behind him. Kaping has risen very quickly, but in Backlund, everything is possible
Maybe...heh, but I had to leave Backlund some time ago...I finally returned to Backlund some time ago, but not long after, I was sent on a mission to investigate arms smuggling in the Zhongsunya Sea,"
After constructing the identity of the "Emperor", Rawls was already preparing for this conversation. He did not explain it very clearly, leaving room for Crane to make up his mind. Even if he went to divination afterwards, he would only
You can divine so that everything you say is true.
There are many reasons why he showed himself to be from MI9 and from the Augustus family.
First, he needs to understand so much high-end knowledge and construct a background for himself; second, as an internal agent, he should give Klein more information about the plans of the Loen royal family, attack the Augustus family, and enhance his status in the future, and carry out subsequent acting roles.
Preparation; thirdly, from his premonition, he did not want Klein and other members of the Tarot Society to associate the "Emperor" with Rawls Adrian.
The "arbitrator" and "lawyer" paths are the paths most closely related to order among the twenty-two divine paths. Rawls is not sure what he will become in the future, and whether he will be able to perform the role and complete the ritual.
It will arouse resentment from other members.
After separating the identity of Rawls Adrian from the "Emperor", even if the barrister Rawls is hostile, the "Emperor" is still a member of the Tarot Club and can obtain assistance from the Tarot Club.
Klein's child's hole has shrunk. If the "Emperor" didn't want to use words to find out the flaws and suspicions of "The World", then some of the things behind Capine may not be that simple. In the capacity of Mr. "Emperor"
, will all be transferred away from Backlund, and I am afraid that the one who killed Kaping will be subject to more investigations.
This is why, in his capacity as Kaping, he is protected by four Beyonders of the ‘Arbitrator’ path!
"Now that Kapin is dead, even though there is no evidence that the thief Black Emperor has found out the truth behind it, those people will definitely not give up the pursuit. I received news that the director of MI9 secretly set up an investigation team,
The members are all new members who have just joined, and are specifically responsible for tracking down the Caprine.
They have investigated two cases involving tarot cards together, and put all the people involved into the investigation list for comparison to find those who overlap. Regardless of whether there is any suspicion, they rely on the ability of the 'interrogator' to question each one one by one.
, exclude them one by one.”
Klein swallowed. He only thought that MI9 would use extraordinary abilities to handle the case, and he actually forgot the way ordinary people would handle the case. Before killing Lanerwus, he had pretended to be a reporter to investigate, but before he
Capping happened on the day I received the commission from Daisy's mother. Once the comparison is made, the identity of Sherlock Moriarty will definitely not be preserved.
No, he would leave Backlund after the Tarot Club. Anyway, he already knew the follow-up formula and killed Lanerwus. As for Ince Zangwill, there was nothing he could do with his current strength.
It's just a pity to invest in the bicycle. Leppard just told him a few days ago that some rich people are interested in joining the second round of investment, and he can get at least an income of more than 1,000 pounds.
It's good to be scared appropriately, but you can't scare it too much, otherwise Kemiao will run faster than anyone else... Rawls said in an extremely affirmative tone:
"Don't worry, this investigation team will not last long, even though the leader is the director of MI9. The situation within MI9 is very complicated, involving many factions. I can receive relevant information even when I am not in Backlund,
Those people in Backlund will only be faster than me. Although they don’t know what they want to do, they will not let this matter continue. After suppressing it for a while, no one will remember this matter."
In the news from Xio, it was discovered that the targets of the investigation team were actually the two Beyonders of the 'Arbitrator' path who died at the scene of the incident. However, because no clues could be found, the investigation team's investigation into the "Black Emperor" was made.
Direction. And the royal family will definitely not let the investigation continue. It is only a matter of time before Xio's team is disbanded.
Klein nodded subconsciously, but then he reacted and relaxed slightly when he saw Mr. "Emperor" looking at "The World". But then he frowned, he still didn't understand "The Emperor"'s thoughts. If he
If what he said is true, then what does he want to do, to investigate the people behind Capine together with "The World"?
It seems that this is the only reason, otherwise there is no need for him to tell me this. He has always wanted to investigate the truth behind it, but he has been frequently transferred away from Backlund, so he needs a helper, an helper who cannot be related to him.
But you are overthinking it. I will not wade into troubled waters. After all, I don’t have the same status as you. Once I am found out, I will not make it a big deal. If it is a trivial matter, it can be solved by an external investigation.
Klein sighed secretly. Although he wanted to end the private communication like this, "Justice" and others would probably ask about the "Black Emperor" later, and they would definitely target Mr. "Emperor"
On the body. If he does not respond, the "Emperor" is likely to point the finger at the "World".
Not to mention that he still has two extraordinary characteristics that need to be sold. This is very detrimental to the unity of the Tarot Society. Once conflicts arise, they will leave cracks even if they disappear.
"The World" was silent for a long time, and finally asked:
"What do you want to do?" Although this sentence was equivalent to him admitting that the vigilante "Black Emperor" was him, there was still room for maneuver.
"According to MI9's investigation, the thief Black Emperor entered Capin's villa as a spirit." Rawls suddenly turned around and saluted Mr. Fool, "Although I don't know how you did it,
But it should be related to the 'Black Emperor' card. In Backlund, it's better not to use that card, you should know why."
"The World" nodded, his voice still hoarse:
"The law of aggregation of extraordinary characteristics."
Rawls crossed his fingers and pressed his chin, speaking calmly:
"In Backlund, there are many Extraordinaries of the 'Lawyer' and 'Arbitrator' pathways, many of them high-sequence beings. Every time you use it, you will attract attention, and high-sequence Extraordinaries can even detect this attraction."
Then his tone suddenly became serious, "Besides, I am the 'Emperor' of the Tarot Club."
"I can help you cover your tracks and tell you the MI9 investigation process, but you'd better not show up as the 'Black Emperor'."
Are you so possessive... Klein secretly complained and manipulated the "world" to ask:
"condition?"
"Those two Beyonder characteristics..." Rawls waved his hand, "Don't doubt it. According to MI9's experience, they will investigate all the circles of Beyonders in Backlund. I can give you 800 pounds, and there will definitely be no one."
Use this to find you."
Mr. "Emperor"'s quotation was very "accurate"! Klein gritted his teeth. The combined value of the two characteristics was about 1,800 pounds, which was equivalent to a loss of 1,000 pounds. But compared to the internal intelligence of MI9
,your own safety...
"This is my compensation for you on the 'Black Emperor Card'."
This sentence became the last straw, making Klein realize that he didn't actually pay much. If there hadn't been the last transaction with the "Black Emperor" card, if he wanted to complete such a transaction with Mr. "Emperor", he would have to rely solely on
Money can't do it.
…
Seeing the clear figures of the two people communicating alone, "The Hanged Man" Alger's eyes moved back and forth between the two people, trying to judge the content of the exchange from their performance, but there was something that even the "Mind Reader" couldn't observe.
, how could he, a "navigator" do it?
"Justice" Audrey looked around slowly, saw the other members fell into silence, and said with a slight smile:
"Last week, something interesting happened in Backlund, and the protagonist was called the Rogue 'Black Emperor'."
