Even discarding the existence of extraordinary beings, it is extremely taboo for the prime minister who holds the administrative power of the country to have a private conversation with the head of the intelligence agency directly under the king.
Although the Augustus family controls huge power, even if the Prime Minister and MI9 join forces, their status and rule cannot be threatened, but such a thing will not be allowed to happen. This is based on political considerations.
The tit-for-tat confrontation between Agushid and Selt is actually a political game.
Because of Lockhard's identity and prison escape, MI9 was seized with a handle, and the handle was still in the hands of the prime minister and the Negan family who could threaten its existence. As long as there is an impeachment in the parliament, Salt himself will naturally take the blame.
Resign.
Although in Rawls's view, there is no need for a demigod to be restrained by MI9, Selt's performance was obviously unwilling to give up, so he had to stay here to make a deal with Prime Minister Agushed.
However, the situation of MI9 itself is extremely complex, and it is not something that a single director of Celtic can make the decision, otherwise there would not be a group of deputy directors fighting with factions.
"What's your opinion, Mr. Prime Minister?"
"I said I have no right to interfere with MI9."
It's a familiar rhetoric again. Prime Minister Agushed will never show that he wants to get involved in MI9, even though this is what he wants.
Selt twitched the corner of his mouth and said seriously:
"But Parliament has the power to make demands on MI9, doesn't it?"
"I will seek parliamentary advice."
"Then I'll come back tomorrow to listen to the council's opinions." Seeing Agushid finally nod, Selt continued to talk about Lockhard's situation, "After Lockhard escaped from prison, he first fled to Camoron in the South District of the Bridge.
At No. 71 Street, a 'janitor' attacked him there. Maybe both parties had concerns, and after hurting each other, they left.
Lockhard suffered a second attack while escaping, and died at the exit of an alley in the south area of the bridge. This was because he had made corresponding interference in order to avoid divination and prophecy, and was aware of the two attacks.
Who are his people and are they from the same organization.
However, judging from the fact that Qilingos, who assassinated the Duke last time, 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 being exposed.
Lockhard and others silenced him. The second scenario is that the two parties are hostile, which is also the most likely scenario."
Lockhard was attacked by a "janitor"? He was killed by a second person? When did Backlund have a "janitor"? Was he the mysterious man who was following Azik Eggers in Xiu's mouth? What about the second person?
Who are these two people? It can’t be Klein, right?
Rawls, who was still amused by his conjecture just now, suddenly realized that this may not be impossible.
There is a mysterious man next to Azik Eggers. This is because Rawls fanned the wings of butterflies, and there is indeed an existence that can match this mysterious man. Dunn Smith, the former captain of the Nighthawks team in Tingen, his
The body disappeared.
If the person who attacked Lockhard was Dunn, then the second person was very likely to be Klein! But didn’t he leave any Tarot cards?
Tomorrow is the Tarot session, so you can test Mr. World.
Agushed nodded. Whether it was the first time or the second time, Qilingos, Jason Beria, and Lockhard all had the chance to escape. In this case, the possibility of silencing them was impossible.
High. If it is a hostile organization, that would make sense.
"In either case, the 'gatekeeper' and the organization behind him must be investigated. If we find out them, we will have a chance to know who conspired to assassinate my brother!"
"Currently, we have a preliminary guess that this matter is related to Azik Eggers. He is a high-sequence expert in the 'Corpse Collector' path. He is followed by a 'Gatekeeper'. It may be Azik who takes action for the first time.
K. Eggers.”
As the director of MI9, Selt raised his vigilance when Azik Eggers suddenly appeared in Backlund. An active earthly angel could have a devastating impact on the city. Later, more information was added.
It is connected with the assassination of Duke Negan by Qilingos.
The only demigod who can kill Qilingos with almost no resistance, and judging from the scene is the demigod of the "corpse collector" path, Azik Eggers perfectly fits this situation, so MI9
He was wanted everywhere without hesitation.
"He?" Agushid was a little surprised. He was not an extraordinary person, but he also understood the meaning of this word.
Salt glanced at Rawls, nodded and said:
"Yes."
"Is MI9 confident?"
An angel is no longer something that MI9 can compete with. There are not many existences of this level in this world. Among the seven major churches, only the Pope and some ascetic monks have reached this level.
Selt remained silent. He could see a little more information. Azik Eggers was active at the end of the Fourth Age. He was a descendant of the "God of Death" and the "Death Archon" of the Balam Empire. He would be updated later.
He became a baron of the Loen Kingdom.
At that time, the four countries in the Northern Continent were still digesting the consequences of the "Pale Disaster" and facing the crisis caused by the geopolitical conflict. The Augustus family did not take action against it. When the time came, the "Death Consul" had already
It disappeared, leaving only the heir. Even if it was poisoned, it did not appear.
In the following more than a thousand years, he occasionally appeared once, but always with a strange identity. Until now, he appeared again, restored to his appearance, but became a university teacher.
"I understand, I will tell Philip." Agushid took a deep breath, and his gray-blue eyes suddenly lost their light.
"Then I'll take my leave first."
Selt also sighed and walked out of the living room.
Rawls could only pretend to be confused, 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..." Agushid raised his hand, leaned on the sofa, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.
.
"Oh well."
Rawls said no more, and under the guidance of the housekeeper, he came to the previous room again. Not surprisingly, not long after, he heard Philip's deep roar coming from the study.
Standing in front of the window, looking at the crimson sky, thinking about some of Selt's actions, I still have a lot of doubts. Unfortunately, Agushid did not put forward conditions, and it was difficult for Rawls to grasp the inner truth of the director of MI9.
Thoughts, but I can vaguely feel that this demigod is not just bowing his head to Agushed and the Negan family just to keep his position.
Forsi curled up on the warm bed, with only her slightly curly brown hair remaining outside the quilt.
The body inside the quilt squirmed a few times, and a hand quietly stretched out from the edge. It was slightly stimulated by the cool air, and immediately retracted it. After a few seconds of calm, Forsi suddenly opened the quilt, and the light blue
She looked at the window sill warily, her spirituality told her that there was someone there, and only she and Xiu lived in this house!
In the middle of the night last night, Xio suddenly came back and asked her to help with a purification ceremony to eliminate the negative effects of the mask. At the same time, he also told her that Bellotto No. 9 where she was was being canceled and would be moved overnight.
It is impossible for her to come back at this time, let alone suddenly appear in this room.
In front of the window sill, Alicia, dressed as a rider, looked at the sky that was covered by gray and yellow clouds, but could still see the direction of the sun. Her tone was cold:
"Since you have become an 'astrologer', why don't you 'act'?"
Forsi, who was suddenly startled, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing who it was. Hearing this question, he became nervous again. His brain was running wildly, and he found the reason in an instant:
"I originally wanted to find a divination club to try out, but recently due to the assassination of Duke Negan, the actions of the three major churches and MI9 have become more and more frequent. I am afraid of being discovered by them, so..."
"Then why don't you go to Pulitzer Harbor? Dorian and the others can teach you better there." Alicia still stood there.
"Well, Teacher Lawrence's health has begun to deteriorate, and Teacher Dorian is taking care of him, so I have no choice but...no choice." As he said this, Forsi felt that this reason seemed unreasonable.
Alicia's slender eyebrows moved. The last time she saw Lawrence Norton, she noticed that he was in poor health. This was not a disease, but a previous injury that had shortened his lifespan. The "astrologer" could not
extend your life.
"I see."
Forsi was still considering whether to find another reason. Hearing Alicia's words, he subconsciously looked up, only to find that the person had disappeared.

Fortunately, she didn't continue to ask, otherwise I don't know what reasons can deceive a "Law Master"... Forsi sighed, since Xio became an "interrogator", any excuses and lies she can find can be
Being exposed.
So Alicia is now looking for two teachers?
Forsi fell on the bed with a bang and pulled up the quilt to cover him, but his sleepiness had long since disappeared. 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 needs to divine where she is suitable to play, and when Alicia comes, she will be able to make up a better reason.
If it's appropriate, wait until next week... well, that is, after the New Year before trying to play "astrologer".
…
Minsk Street 15, one o'clock in the afternoon.
Klein looked at the group of children helping to clean the house with a smile on his face. The New Year was approaching and there was always a big cleaning. Of course, he asked the "Children's Home" to help. In addition to giving him some extra money and candies, he also
By the way, I wanted to inquire about MI9's actions after Lockhard escaped from prison.
In order to avoid trouble, he didn't even wait for the at least 10,000 pounds of "Chaos Tutor" characteristics to be released and left directly. When he thought of this, he felt heartbroken. But he had to do this. Whatever the "Twilight Hermits" said, they would do it.
The known method really made him a little afraid, and he was deeply afraid that it would bring the same danger as the "werewolf" characteristic that was still on the gray mist.
call
Klein shook his head, picked up the brush, walked into the bathroom, and started scrubbing the toilet.
After the house was almost cleaned, he took out the candy he bought in advance and called to the two children he was familiar with:
"Joel, Jack, please share all these candies. They are candies from Hillier Candy Shop!"
The mixed-race Joel scratched his head, looked at his younger siblings with longing in their eyes, and could only thank him:
"Detective Moriarty, thank you."
His words caused the children to cheer and shout in unison:
"Thank you Detective Moriarty!"
"Okay, okay, no need to be polite to me."
With a smile on his face, Klein handed the candy to Joel.
…
The hour hand was about to point to three o'clock, and Klein walked into the bedroom. Joel told him that Ian did not behave in any special way. It was probably because the news had not been received, or that MI9 had concealed the news.
Walk four steps backward, arrive above the gray fog, and skillfully send a notification to Derrick "The Sun":
"Get ready to party".
In the open-air camp that was burning with flames and always manned, with his back against a stone pillar, Derrick fell asleep to recover his strength. He dreamed of the boundless gray mist and an ancient chair located at the highest point in the center.
And the indifferent figure sitting on the chair, looking down at everything, heard the voice from Mr. Fool.
Yes, Mr. Fool. Derrick responded silently, counting his heartbeats silently.
His eyes never opened, as if everything that had just happened was just an interlude in a dream.
There was still a long time before departure, enough time to finish attending the Tarot party... He thought happily.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He originally thought that he would miss this party after joining the exploration team.
After 1,000 heartbeats, Derrick waited for a while before he felt that he had entered the silent and peaceful temple.
As soon as he opened his eyes, one scene after another suddenly flashed back in his mind, as if some external force had instantly refilled all the lost memories into his head.
We have explored the temple five times... We have been living in this experience, and there is no way to really end it! The more Derrick understands his sudden extra memories, the more frightened and creepy he feels.
"Justice" Audrey, who was sitting on the other side of the long bronze table, originally wanted to say hello to Mr. Fool and everyone as happily and briskly as usual, but when she glanced around, she immediately realized that the mood of the little "Sun" was not right, and immediately He opened his mouth and asked:
"Mr. Sun, what happened? The operation to explore the real, um, Fallen Creator Temple did not go well?"
Derrick "The Sun" seemed to have grasped hope, and quickly described what happened in general, and finally said:
"After the little boy was eliminated 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 without any memory of the previous one.
This process was repeated five times, with only slight differences in details.
If Mr. Fool hadn’t reminded me, I wouldn’t have even known that I’d been living a repetitive life during this period.”
He took it for granted that the extra memories he had after coming above the gray fog were due to Mr. Fool's reminder, so he stood up and solemnly saluted the blurry figure sitting at the top of the long bronze table.
