"How many of these guys are there?" Owen was very curious.

"I don't know." Qian Cang shook his head.

According to what he learned in "The Treasure of the Burning Sea", Hezerak's followers all call themselves Sagula, and the performance of Douglas on the Blue Pearl shows that after becoming a believer, Hezerak can indeed use the power of Hezerak.

This means that it is possible for anyone to change who they believe in in when they are in trouble, in order to solve the problem with the help of the power of Hezerak.

Owen glanced left and right, lowered his voice, and asked Qian Cangyi to talk to him in a corner next to him.

While the bank's employees were running around anxiously, the two calm men seemed quite abrupt in it.

After no one had passed by, Owen spoke:

"The theft of the manuscript was expected by me, and I actually came to you to confirm it."

Qian Cang's eyes widened, a little surprised, and asked:

"Why do you know, Your Excellency?"

Owen took a deep breath and replied:

"Do you remember the oracle I just said?"

"There's much more to the oracle than what I just said, it's about the end times."

When Owen said this, his brow furrowed, his lips pursed, and his eyes were quite serious.

Whoever saw it didn't think it was a joke, and Owen wanted to make it clear.

Qian Cangyi took a step back, and then asked in a low voice:

"Doomsday?"

"Is it a disaster?"

"Do you mean...... The purpose of these cultists is to destroy the world? ”

Qian Cangyi said a conjecture that matched the character.

Owen shook his head, pinched his left palm with his right hand, and looked slightly depressed:

"I don't know."

"The Pope didn't tell me much, you need to figure it out yourself."

"The thief who stole the Veldra Manuscript can't be found now, I'll go back first, and say hello to the police station by the way, and I'll leave it to you here."

As a bishop, he had to deal with many things in the church, so he was solely responsible for this matter.

After nodding his head in understanding, Owen turned and left Pegasus Bank.

During the self-examination of Pegasus Bank, as soon as the money warehouse was finished, he left to find Robert.

At present, even if he wants to participate in the investigation, there is no way, and even if he is a distinguished customer, the bank and the vault cannot investigate at will.

After confirming that the vault had indeed been stolen, the bank had called the police, and the safe belonging to Qian Cangyi had also been temporarily sealed for the police to inspect.

In addition to allowing Qian Cangyi to follow up on the situation, Owen's greeting also has a purpose, so that the police department will pay attention to this theft case.

Ordinary police officers will not do their best to investigate if they hear that the missing item is just an unknown manuscript, but if Bishop Owen tells him that the manuscript is a very valuable item, the policeman's opinion will be very different.

In a few months, Robert's appearance has changed a lot.

"I was going to look for you after I got the money, but I didn't expect to run into it as soon as I came out." Robert slapped his right hand on Qian Cangyi's left arm.

Qian Cang smiled and asked:

"How's it been these months?"

"I've been investigating Virdra when I'm recuperating from my injuries, but unfortunately I haven't found anything."

"It's as if Virdra didn't exist at all, nowhere to be found."

Robert glanced left and right, his eyes swept over the surrounding shops, and then spoke:

"Shall we talk here?"

"How about a different place?"

"Stopping by for a drink?"

The Dancer's Tavern, a pub for civilians on Black Swan Street, is bustling.

Robert picked up the glass in front of the table, and there was a hint of red like a ribbon flowing slowly in the pale yellow cocktail.

He drank the glass of spirit, called "Red Air", and then his body trembled, as if to dispel the cold in his heart.

"I haven't been in Port Molov for the past few months." Robert opened his mouth to talk about the past few months.

As he spoke, the noise faded away.

Robert looked at the table, his eyes tired:

"I'm going to find Sakurah."

"You...... Why don't you tell me? Qian Cang asked.

Robert glanced down, and the focus of his eyes was Qian Cangyi's injured foot in "The Treasure of the Burning Sea":

"Your foot hurts so badly that you have problems walking, how can I tell you?"

"I'll tell you this, you'll make me wait for now, and then come with me when you're healed."

"What you just said proves that."

"Forget it, don't talk about this, the important thing is not that I went to find Sagula Island, the important thing is that I didn't find it at all."

As soon as Qian Cang heard this, a nautical chart appeared in his mind.

Saqoura is an island once visited by the crew of the Blue Pearl, located on the route from the Villefort Sea to In'an.

There is a primitive tribe on the island, the people of the tribe are all followers of Hezerak, and in addition to this, there is a strange cave that can not even know where to go, and the inside of the cave is all diamonds.

One of the survivors of the Blue Pearl, Second Officer Ken, as a token of his gratitude, marked the location of Sagura Island on the nautical chart.

It was on the basis of the markings on the nautical charts that Robert went to look for them.

The Villefort Sea is so vast that in the absence of a clear reference, it is not uncommon not to find an island.

Therefore, Qian Cangyi opened his mouth and comforted:

"This island is so special that it will take months to find it."

"Just because you didn't find it because you were unlucky doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

"Douglas didn't have a reason to lie to me, because he thought he would be able to kill me."

Robert's reaction surprised Qian Cangyi.

Whether he didn't believe Douglas's words or had doubts about the route of the nautical charts, it was normal, but Robert's answer was completely different.

Robert sighed softly and raised the "red air" again, and there was only a little left in the glass, but Robert still raised his head and drank the last few drops.

"I believe Sagora Island exists." Robert's eyes were calm, and there was no irony in his tone.

Qian Cangyi frowned and did not answer.

Robert put his glass aside and continued:

"I often have nightmares."

"The absurd and strange images and vague sounds in the dream made my legs tremble."

"I feel like I'm in hell, no, a place more terrible than hell."

"What makes me even more unbearable is that whenever I wake up from a dream, I can't even recall any scene in the dream."

"The only exception was when I dreamed of Saqoura, a rectangular island surrounded by the sea."

"The island was accompanied by storms that could capsize ships."

"I want to solve the mystery of Sagura."

When he recounted the dream, Robert had an extremely painful expression on his face, as if he did not want to remember it at all.

Qian Cangyi did not speak, but silently waited for Robert to recover.

When he saw that Robert's expression was no longer painful, he spoke:

"I'm sorry, but if I hadn't shown you the Veldra Manuscript, you wouldn't have ...... at all."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Robert.

"I wanted to see it myself." Robert's tone was very tough.

Qian Cangyi pressed his right index finger to the center of his eyebrows, and did not argue with Robert.

Robert continued:

"You've warned me, and you've even taken the manuscript away, so it's my own responsibility."

"Marshall, you don't need to blame yourself, and it's not as simple as you think."

"This manuscript doesn't just have anything to do with you."

Robert seemed to have something to say, but he swallowed it back when it came to his lips.

After a brief silence, Robert spoke again:

"What happened to Pegasus just now? I heard that it was stolen, is it true? ”

Qian Cang nodded and began to explain:

"That's right, and you've seen the stolen things, and that's the cause of all this, the Veldra Manuscript."

"I was worried that the manuscript would be stolen, so I kept it in the heavily guarded Pegasus Bank, but I didn't expect it to be stolen."

Robert licked his lips and said:

"In addition to coming to see you this time, there is one more thing, I want to read the contents of the manuscript again, maybe I can make new discoveries."

"Now it seems that I am afraid that this little request of mine will not be satisfied."

Qian Cang laughed and replied:

"While it's likely that the manuscript is no longer in Pegasus City, we can get it back."

"Owen, the guy you met at the bank, asked me to find the manuscript."

"He'll help us, and this time the search starts with the disappearance of the manuscript!"

Robert noticed a detail, his eyes lit up, and he asked:

"We?"

"That's right, I have a hunch that everything will come to an end this time." Qian Cang nodded.

"But your injuries ......" Robert had been injured, so he naturally knew how badly the person in front of him had been injured.

Qian Cangyi shook his injured leg and replied:

"It's almost recovered, out of the way."

"Now the police should have gone to Pegasus Bank, let's go over and take a look, maybe we can find out."

"By the way, I suggest you sober up."

As soon as Qian Cang finished speaking, he stood up, and on the table, not a drop of the wine that belonged to him moved.

……

Morse. Carter wiped his smooth forehead, and he knew that this matter was quite serious.

There have been thefts from Pegasus Bank in the past, but the stolen items were valuable treasures and shiny gold coins.

The stolen item was a black-covered manuscript written by a writer named Virdra.

No one knew Virdra, and no one had heard of it.

The problem was that after the manuscript was stolen, the mayor actually came to inquire about it.

Rinkuchi stepped up the steps at the door of Pegasus Bank again, only this time he was not a customer, but an investigator.

Owen had already sent someone to inform him, and arrangements had been made here.

After talking to the police, Qian Cangyi learned the information he wanted.

The most important information is, of course, the stolen items, none of which have been stolen except for the Veldra Manuscript.

Qian Cangyi did not say anything about this, but asked for the personal information of the bank employees and the results of the police questioning.

In the office of Morse, the head of the bank, Qian Cangyi and Robert were reviewing the information they had just gotten.

"Why do we want to check the employees of the bank, do you suspect that the guards are stealing?" Robert put down the information in his hand.

Qian Cangyi flipped the information in his hand to the next page, and on the right was the animal cookie he bought when he came:

"Pegasus Bank is heavily guarded, the vault has been inspected, there are no secret passages, and the only items stolen are manuscripts."

"That's all we know at the moment."

"So, taking the intelligence together, do you think it's more likely that a bank employee is stealing or an outsider stealing?"

Qian Cangyi chose to answer the question with a question.

"Why do bank employees steal manuscripts? Manuscripts have no value to them at all. Robert frowned.

Qian Cangyi replied with a smile:

"Maybe that's the direct reason why the manuscripts were stolen."

"I just eavesdropped on the conversations of a couple of employees who didn't know the importance of the manuscript until today."

"For them, stealing jewels is like stealing a king's crown and stealing bread from a bakery."

"That's probably why cultists are able to take advantage of their employees."

Robert rubbed his eyes, a little tired:

"It seems that you have decided that the person who stole the manuscript was someone from the bank."

"I'm not like you, I rely on evidence to speak, but I don't like dealing with these papers, I sleep all the time looking at these things."

"As an experienced private investigator, I'm better at dealing with people."

"I'll go out for a walk and sober up by the way."

Robert got up and left the office.

Qian Cang waved his hand and did not take his attention off the data.

As an actor in hell movies, his way of thinking is naturally different from that of the characters in the movie world.

There was no problem with the direction of Robert's thinking, the only problem was that it was not an ordinary theft.

There is also the possibility that Kankurachi did not say anything from beginning to end, and that is that it is possible that the Veldra Manuscript may have disappeared "by itself".

In the movie "The Treasure of the Burning Sea", what Qian Cangyi did was to throw the manuscript into the burning sea, but the manuscript returned to his hands inexplicably.

This kind of thing naturally cannot be a coincidence, the only possibility is the power of the "manuscript" itself or the power of Hezerak.

With the current state of affairs, it is necessary to investigate the bank employee, regardless of whether it is a bank employee theft or not.

After some searching, Qian Cangyi locked the suspects as 3 people.

At the top of the list, of course, is the head of Pegasus Bank, Morse. Carter.

As the person in charge, he had considerable power and was able to easily take the manuscript from the vault.

The question is how much Morse has gained from helping the cultists take the manuscripts, or whether there is an ulterior secret in the hands of the cultists.

To determine this, it is necessary to grasp the connection between Morse and the cultists.

The other two are the teller Marianne. Hill and the guard Newman. Gary.

The former had been stained by stealing the jewels in the safe and going out to a ball, while the latter was suspected by Qian Cangyi for a different reason than the first two.

Newman. Gary had been questioned by the police a month earlier for the sudden death of his rival in love.

Newman was drinking in the tavern at the time, and everyone in the tavern could testify, and the alibi was sufficient.

In addition, the death of the rival in love was too weird, so he was acquitted.

The love rival died in his own home, and the cause of death was suffocation, but the "suffocation" here is slightly different from the usual suffocation.

Newman's rival in love suffocated by devouring his own arm, and his forearm got stuck in his throat, making it impossible to breathe.

The coroner found several fingers and half a palm in the stomach of Newman's rival, all of which belonged to the devoured hand.

A month has passed, and there has been no progress in the case, and it has been decided that it is outstanding.

Although the police have no evidence, those who know Newman well know that Newman desperately wants his rival to die.

The strange manner of his death reminded him of the tragic events he had witnessed in Port Molov and aboard the Blue Pearl.

At that time, he was also confused during the investigation, unable to continue to follow the clues, and could only wait for the murderer to commit the crime again.

Newman's rival died in the same way as he did at the time, so he planned to start his investigation with Newman first.

……

On Black Swan Street, the moonlight hung high, and the rest of the houses had been turned off except for the Dancing Tavern, which was still full of people.

Newman's house was just deep in Black Swan Street, the rent was cheap and clean, but Newman didn't go home after work, but went to the tavern.

Today, when the police questioned Newman, he brought up the incident of a month ago again, which made Newman very unhappy, so he planned to drink to relieve his boredom.

Qian Cangyi did not plan to question Newman directly, he planned to sneak into Newman's house at night to see if there were any clues.

Robert is assigned to follow Newman.

If Newman helped the Cultist steal the manuscript because he didn't know the importance of the manuscript and thought that nothing would happen if the manuscript was stolen, then he would most likely try to contact the cultist again when the situation had taken to the point.

The lockpicking skill comes in handy again.

With the turn of the lock cylinder, there is a click, and the door lock is opened.

Qian Cangyi gently pushed the door in, and after closing the door, he searched the house by moonlight.

Newman doesn't like tidying up, and the house is a mess.

In the bedroom, the table by the window is full of miscellaneous items, the only thing special is that there is a strange potted plant on the table.

The bonsai is an unknown plant, and the leaves are pink and jagged, and at this time, the leaves are opening and closing, as if breathing in the moonlight.

As soon as Qian Cang picked up the paper on the table, he rolled it up and gently touched the blade.

The blades that were opening and closing suddenly began to tremble, and then, green juice flowed out of the place where it was touched, and the juice touched the paper and seeped into the paper.

Suddenly, a charred hand reached in from the window and grabbed Qian Cangyi's neck.

What the!

Qian Cangyi didn't notice this at all.

He grabbed his blackened hand with both hands, but found that he couldn't pull it away with his own strength.

In desperation, he used the leader of the time mound.

The Eternal Sleep Clock is currently unusable due to the fact that it has to be recharged in the movie world.

The air gradually thickens and everything around it begins to stand still.

What Qian Cangyi didn't expect was that even during the time mound's leading effect, the scorched black hand continued to exert force, and the more terrifying thing was that another hand reached in from the window.

The blackened hand wanted to reach into Qian Cangyi's mouth.

In the blink of an eye, the situation deteriorated dramatically.
