Chapter 30 The Restoration Congress
Arriving at the door, Walter used the light of the gas street lamp to see through the gap in the iron fence that there was no one outside, and the street was quiet.
For a moment, Walter wondered if he had misheard, there was no doorbell at all!
He settled down, walked briskly to the servants' room at the back of the building, and woke up some of them, telling them to grab their double-barreled shotguns and patrol the main house back and forth to prevent any thieves or robbers from sneaking in.
Walter didn't call the police immediately, because nothing had happened yet, and the doorbell might have been made by some mischievous homeless man.
Meanwhile, in the nearest sewer, the previous infiltrator held on to the metal handle, descending layer by layer to a bleak area.
He quickly stopped, leaning his back against the mossy wall, and slowly slid down to the dirty floor.
His eyes closed again, as if he was still in a coma, and in front of him, a middle-aged man wearing an old three-cornered hat and a dark infrared jacket instantly appeared, it was none other than Crane's secret couple, "The Resentful Spirit" Seignol.
Señol bent down and found 7 soles and 11 pence coins from the inside pocket of the infiltrator's clothes, as well as a small cloth bag containing different powders.
Crane in the room remotely manipulated the secret puppets dozens of meters away, identified the powders one by one, and found that as he expected, they were all powders of various herbs in the necromancy realm, and some of them could be used for "channeling"!
- There is a high probability that the Extraordinary One from Bailang belongs to the "Corpse Collector" path, even if it is not in Sequence 7 "Psychic", it is normal to prepare the corresponding herbal powder and essential oil hydrosol, after all, those materials are not only "psychic".
Immediately afterward, Crane manipulated the secret puppet Seigno, quickly set up a ritual, and prayed to the "Fool".
Then, he responds above the gray fog so that the other party can finish the rest of the matter.
After doing all this, he returned to the real world and continued to manipulate the "resentful spirit" Seigno, and really began to "channel".
Through the shimmering storm, Crane saw the spirit of the infiltrator, which was blurry and transparent.
"What's your name, and what kind of faction do you belong to?" asked Seigor in a low voice.
The infiltrator Mu Ran responded:
"Godopus, I belong to the 'Black Skull Party'. ”
The Black Skull Party, which seems to be a gang on the edge of the East End and the area of Beckland Bridge near the docks, is dominated by people of Bailang blood, although they are not as savage and reckless as the Zmange Party, and dare to fight and kill, but they are also ruthless and fierce, and they are not afraid to kill...... Crane thought back to the information he had gathered in the past, and asked Seigor to continue asking:
"What do you do? Why Richardson?"
Godops Confused Says:
"We are fighting for God.
"We were originally members of the East Bailang Restoration Congress, and the Black Skull Party was established to obtain information and obtain funds, in addition to these, there is also a mission, which is to collect various items related to the Grim Reaper and send them back to the Southern Continent.
"This time, we have a conclusive clue that Earl Wolf's collection contains a mask brought from the tomb of the Eggers family, a descendant of God.
"In order to get this mask, we need to send someone to work at Earl Wolf's house or to get into Count Wolf's banquet ball, and Richardson is a good candidate, he has no previous involvement in various organizations, and he has a lot of experience as a servant. ”
The servants of the aristocratic family are often "ancestral", how can they be so easy to get in...... Unless a large number of people are needed on a temporary basis, for short-term employment......
At tonight's ball, a lady mentioned that a small number of nobles with poor financial conditions sold off a lot of land and estates, dismissed almost all their servants, and left less than ten servants, barely making a decent living, and when there was a need for a large banquet or ball, they would spend money to hire a group of temporary workers from organizations such as the "Society for Helping Domestic Servants" to support the scene......
Also, Count Wolf actually has a collection of masks from the family of the Grim Reaper, and I remember that Mr. Azik's surname is Eggers...... Unfortunately, I don't want to be disturbed by accident at the moment, or I might find a way to get this mask for Mr. Azik...... Klein muttered a few words silently, allowing Seigor to continue asking:
"How did you meet Richardson?"
Godopus said bluntly:
"We met at the estate in East Bailang, and at that time, we were all slaves.
"And among the slaves, there were people who quietly spread the belief in the Grim Reaper, and I, Richardson, his mother, in that life, inevitably became a believer in the Grim Reaper, and secretly joined the organization that was very influential among the slaves.
"Later, Richardson's mother fell ill and died, and he was taken to Beckland, while I remained in East Byron to find an opportunity to escape from the estate.
"A few years later, I was sent to Beckland, and by chance, met Richardson again, who, having forgotten the death of his mother, the abuse he had suffered, the faith in God, had been corrupted by the so-called peaceful life!
"In order to avoid me, he deliberately made a mistake and changed employers three times in a row, but how could he have thought that his past companions were no longer ordinary people!"
Everyone has the right to choose, as long as they don't hurt others, but Richardson and I are two kinds of people...... Crane, who was in the room, closed his eyes and asked Seigor in a low voice:
"What's the name of that organization that is so influential among slaves?"
Godopus hesitated:
"The Eternal Life Society, those who believe in the god of death, will attain eternal life in the underworld after leaving the painful real world. ”
Eternal Life ...... I know this, a branch of the Spiritual Order...... Crane, who was born as a "night watchman", knew a lot about this.
He continued to manipulate his secret puppet Señor to interrogate them, and obtained a lot of information related to the Eternal Society, the East Bailang Restoration Congress, and the Black Skull Party, confirming that Godops and his gang were full of innocent blood.
After finishing the channeling, sorting out the traces, and waiting for two quarters of an hour, Crane once again let the "Wraith" into Godopus's body, piloting him out of the sewers and back into the shadows of the street.
By this time, the servants with double-barreled shotguns in 160 Berlund Street were no longer so attentive that they seemed to think that the hidden danger was over.
Crane pretended not to notice anything, and remained asleep in the master bedroom, but he had set up the ritual, summoned himself, responded himself, and left the house silently in the state of a ghost with an Azk copper whistle, an iron cigarette case, and a "wriggling hunger."
He stayed behind Godopus and kept a distance of 80 meters, so as to manipulate the "hostage" possessed by the secret puppet and make him go around to another block and board the taxi carriage at the intersection.
A little over an hour later, "Godopus" returned to the headquarters of the Black Skull Party, a hut located near the docks.
There was a large amount of ammunition hidden in it, and there were several members sent by the East Bailang Restoration Congress, who constituted the top of the Black Skull Party.
"Godopus" knocked on the door in the agreed manner and said to one of the members:
"Richardson has succumbed. ”
"Good. The member glanced at Godopus inattentively, got out of the way, and let him pass.
"Godopus" looked around and saw a pile of high-performance explosives and a batch of rifles in the corner of the house, while several high-ranking Black Skull Party leaders were gathering together, not knowing what was being discussed.
"Godopus, one?" the member handed over a cigarette.
This is a Southcontinent-style cigarette made directly from sun-dried tobacco leaves wrapped in a small amount of herbs.
Godopus took it, picked up the matches on the table, pulled out a few, and brushed the floor to burn.
He then threw the flaming matches into a corner, at an explosive that could easily ignite next to the high-performance explosive.
"......" Everyone present looked at Godopus with some blankness, and did not react to what had happened for a moment.
Thundered!
A few dozen meters away, on a street chair, Klein sat with his back to the house with its back to the fire, the air rolling.
A few seconds later, Señor, wearing a dark infrared suit, appeared beside him, showing a slight sign of fire.
The "resentful spirit" pressed his hand to his chest, bowed, and immediately returned to the surface of the gold coin of the iron cigarette case.
It's a pity that you can't pick up the extraordinary characteristics, otherwise it won't be like an accident...... There is no extraordinary person at the top of the Black Skull Party that is absolutely suspicious...... Crane sighed to himself, disposed of the traces, ended the summoning, and returned directly to the gray mist.
The next morning, as if nothing had happened, he got up and washed, and waited for the valet to come in and put on his clothes.
Richardson entered in silence and did his job expertly.
Then, he took a step back, buried his head and said:
"Sir, after this week of service, I would like to resign. ”
He normally receives a weekly salary from Tanea, the housekeeper.
"Why?" Klein asked, looking at himself in the mirror and arranging his vest.
At the same time, he thought leisurely in his heart: It's not bad, I know that I will resign voluntarily and not cause trouble to my employer......
Richardson had already thought of an excuse and said:
"I don't feel like I'm good enough to be a valet, and last night's ball, I talked to the servants of the other guests and found that I was still far behind. ”
Klein smiled and said:
"All of us have grown up with little experience, so think about it again and give me the final answer tomorrow. ”
"Yes, sir. Richardson said no more, and took the initiative to leave the room and go to the first floor to help his employer get the morning newspaper.
In this process, he will first flip through and put the most interesting newspaper on top.
As he flipped through it, his gaze suddenly froze and focused on a piece of news:
"A violent explosion occurred at 79 Dirham Street in the Beckland Bridge area, suspected to be linked to the 'Black Skull Party'......
"According to the police, all the top leaders of the 'Black Skull Party' died in the accidental explosion, including Lima, Moreira, Godopus ......"
This...... Richardson shook his head, suspecting that he was dreaming.
