Chapter 121 Coincidence, Lanevus, Planning
"Klein, what did the captain say?" Leonard asked, sitting casually on a chair nearby.
Klein stopped and repeated Dunn's words.
"Captain Dunn asked me to go to the lower street with you to investigate the details of the Changsheng Cult. He and Lord Cecima will go to investigate whether similar cultists have appeared in other neighborhoods."
"It's a good plan. The Storm Church and the Steam Church will act together."
"Well, the sooner the better." Leonard nodded.
Dunn's decision was very much in the style of a veteran night watchman.
It was determined that the God of Immortality believed in by the Immortality Sect was an evil god. An on-site investigation was conducted based on the traces. After discussions with Cecima, the Sword of the Goddess, the rest of the churches were directly united to deal with the matter, in order to prevent more people from joining in due to the temptation of "immortality" and the fermentation of time.
"By the way, Klein, are you familiar with Iron Cross Street?"
“Yes.” Klein admitted directly.
"Have you ever heard of a similar story about the God of Immortality?"
“No.” Klein shook his head.
This isn't the first time I've been asked.
Captain Dunn and Cecima both asked Klein about the past of Iron Cross Street.
"In that case, we can only investigate slowly." Leonard looked into the distance.
Outside the watershed, Xiajie and Tiexizi Street seem like two different worlds.
The former represents a truly hopeless world, while the latter represents the mortals struggling to survive.
The passers-by here are all wearing old and tattered clothes. They are both wary and greedy towards the appearance of strange and glamorous people, as if they were vultures staring at carrion and may attack at any time.
They are not stupid, or rather, in order to survive, they don't even know what the word stupid means.
Leonard shook the gun bag on his waist, and the revolver effectively cleared away those greedy eyes.
“These people’s lives are like this…”
Leonard sighed.
Feeling sad or uncomfortable?
For Leonard, it's a little bit of both.
The stigmata told him a lot, and Leonard understood why all this happened.
Just as there are many corpses on the road ahead of every extraordinary person, it is precisely because of these 90% of poor people that the Northern Continent is prosperous.
"Klein, do you think there's any chance of change?" Leonard asked casually, calmly watching the robbery, theft and other crimes in front of him.
change?
of course can.
Klein really wanted to tell the history he knew, but he was now Klein Moretti, not the time traveler Zhou Mingrui.
"It's impossible to change...right."
"Maybe." Leonard did not argue with Klein.
No matter how much you argue about right and wrong, it is not as good as making some slight changes in reality.
"Look at their arms and their legs. They're like matchsticks."
"Two... Nighthawks are here too?"
The familiar voice made Leonard and Klein look forward.
Lanevus, he was wearing a black vest shirt, with pure silver gradient gloves on both hands, holding a cane in his hands, with a smiling face.
"What are you doing here?"
“Oh, Klein Moretti, Leonard Mitchell, don’t be nervous. I am now the founder of the Tingen City Business Protection Society, and I am investigating the changes in Tingen City’s unemployment rate.” Lanevus stated his “purpose” very calmly.
Whether it is true or not, I guess only he himself knows.
“Whatever you want, don’t hinder our investigation.” Leonard suppressed the thought of fighting Lanevus and clenched his fingers into fists.
It was a chance meeting, but Lanevus and Leonard were heading in the same direction.
"you…"
"Officer, I have already explained my purpose. I will investigate, visit, and collect clues to report the cult members."
At the end of his words, Lanevus's mouth corners raised noticeably, and he let out a sarcastic laugh.
Cultist. The three people here all know that Lanevus is a cultist.
But as he himself was well aware, Lanevus was a despicable man.
For the Nighthawks, killing him is fine, but what will be the consequences?
It was precisely because Dunn and the other Nightwatchmen knew exactly what was going to happen that Lanevus was so "unbridled." "Don't disturb us." Leonard said, and left quickly with Klein.
"Of course. Have fun." Lanevus took off his hat gracefully and saluted the two.
Then he walked away humming a tune.
On the other side, Leonard and Klein stopped.
"Divination."
“Of course.” Klein nodded.
Perhaps it was a tacit understanding that made the two of them look at each other and smile.
"Lanevers came here with a conspiracy... No, wait, Lanevus came here to complete the Aurora Society's mission..." Klein silently recited in his heart and took out his pendulum.
The crisp sound swayed, and the pendulum swayed irregularly in front of Klein's eyes.
"Divination failed..." Klein said thoughtfully.
"The result of the divination of Lanreus failed."
"Extraordinary factors are interfering." Leonard made a judgment, then he put his hand on his chin and thought.
Lanevus is a peripheral member of the Aurora Society. A low-sequence Beyonder can make the divination result fail...
Anti-divination ability should not be possessed.
Is it...
"Could it be that he set up a ritual to interfere with the divination?"
Talking to himself and shaking his head, Leonard gave up thinking.
There were too many possibilities. Leonard could guess eight or ten of the conspiracies that Lanevus had prepared. A detailed investigation was needed to determine the outcome.
"Let's go, Klein. Let's go talk to the captain about Lanevus."
"Oh, you're not going to continue the investigation?" Klein asked with some confusion.
Give up investigating the hidden immortal sect in Xiajie and deal with Lanevus's affairs...
"No, I'll go deal with the Immortal God's followers. Klein, go tell Captain Dunn about Lanevus's situation."
"it is good."
Klein decisively left.
After Klein left, Leonard sighed.
"This team member of yours has a big secret." The old man suddenly said.
"is it?"
"Of course, I just can't imagine that he's still alive."
"Do you think Klein should have died in the Antigonus family notes of the Fourth Epoch?"
“No, Amon, I am really surprised that he is still alive under Amon, or that he is still Klein Moretti.”
“Everyone has secrets.”
"Yes, everyone has secrets. But Leonard, you'd better pay attention to Klein Moretti. I was just about to check on him... but he gives me a very dangerous feeling!"
"Danger? Danger that an angel like you can feel?"
“There are some things I don’t dare to mess with.”
Rubbing his forehead, Leonard found a chair under the table and sorted out his thoughts.
“Klein has a secret. An ordinary person is alive from the Antigonus family’s notes… More than a month ago I thought it was an accident, but now…” Leonard shook his head.
Leonard knew exactly what level of extraordinary object this thing was from the Antigonus family's notes.
According to historical records, the notebook is the item pursued by Zaratul. It appeared during the time of Emperor Roselle and has important historical traces!
An extraordinary item of this level was picked up casually by Klein, and then... he "survived" this extraordinary event.
What kind of joke is it that an ordinary person survived such an extraordinary event?
"Klein has a secret... Lanevus definitely wouldn't just be investigating in Lower Street. He must have done something."
Thinking of this, Leonard pounded his palm.
Is it possible that Lanevus came for the Immortal Sect?
"The peripheral members of the Aurora Society do not absolutely believe in the true Creator. Perhaps Lanevus is seeking immortality."
"Old man, is it possible that Lanevus is plotting to become the Immortal God of the Immortality Sect?"
"High probability."
The old man had seen ordinary people and extraordinary people who longed for immortality. They were more terrifying than the so-called demons and devils in their pursuit of living longer.
