Chapter 271 "Man" and "God"
"No, sorry! Please forgive me! I don't want to go around with that dog!"
Xiao Fu quickly expressed his attitude and then changed the subject:
"I don't understand why you spend so much effort to make puppets, and personally supervise the 'devil' to commit crimes, and even spend time sending women to distant islands... So many people disappear in Backlund every day, uh... I'm not saying it's meaningless, but... it's not very effective?"
Old Brummel said:
“If you don’t understand, it means you don’t have enough humanity and you need to continue to see more people.
“I’m an extremely selfish person.
“You were under my control, the Apostle of Desire was under your control, and Black Dog killed people under the control of the Apostle of Desire. So, if I didn’t save the victim, it would be my sin.
“Similarly, the first visitors to Avalon were three women who were supposed to be delivered to the mouth of ‘Qilingus’. When I saw their condition, I felt pity and would have saved them. If I hadn’t saved them, it would have been my sin.
"What is 'sin' then?
"I measure everything by my conscience and by my standards, and what is below is sin.
"For the time being, I will not allow my conscience to be compromised in any way, as that would cause you to worry.
“As for the others, what does it have to do with me if I can’t see them?
"I close my eyes, and the entire universe will cease to exist."
Xiao Fu's throat was dry. Is this... human nature? Why did I feel an irresistible and unopposed "divine nature" after listening to it? ! Is he really a "human"? ! Or is he born... a god? !
Old Blue put away his pretentious attitude and asked:
"Hvin Rambis...still no movement?"
Xiao Fu quickly replied:
"The news of Eslant's death only spread today. I convened a meeting with all the members of the Psychological Alchemy Society in Backlund and calmed them down, saying that Eslant accidentally exposed himself to the madman of the Aurora Society...
"Another point, Hilbert and Norma said that Miss Audrey from the Hall family is very interested in organizational mysticism and psychology, and her family is very powerful, so she is a very suitable candidate for development...
"Hvin Rambis still hasn't shown up. Maybe it's because the president held a council meeting a few days ago and hasn't returned yet?"
Old Bruce stroked his chin and said:
"You are not the real Renee. It's normal that you don't know. You don't need to go to that meeting in person. It seems like you are in a dream...
“You can’t run away, wait until he wakes up.
"Audrey Hall...did she agree to join?"
Xiao Fu was speechless:
"We haven't made an invitation yet, and the Islant we just introduced yesterday is gone today..."
Old Bruce nodded and said:
"Then let Norma and Hilbert have normal contact, don't hurt each other, don't make an invitation, and see what the lady's attitude is.
"Well, Aurora will take action and will temporarily avoid these two people."
Xiao Fu curled her lips. Why didn't he talk about "sin" when he killed someone himself? He was not guilty if he killed someone himself? She didn't dare to say it, so she asked:
"Okay, well, what if the other party takes the initiative to ask to join the Psychological Alchemy Society?"
Old Blue showed a distressed expression and muttered:
"I can't kill him, I can't lock him up, I can't beat him, I can't scold him, what else can I do? It's none of my business, let Him worry about it, why would I care so much...
"Add! Let her add! Give her what she wants!"
... "At the end of the party, I remind you,"
The elderly-looking "Eye of Wisdom" said with a serious expression:
"The recent serial murders are somewhat unusual. Perhaps the official Beyonders will soon start another round of investigations.
“In view of this, the gathering here is temporarily cancelled and the resumption time will be notified separately.
“Those who are not absolutely confident in their own abilities are better off staying home at night, especially female members.
"I wish everyone peace and good luck, Ms. Craftsman, please leave first."
Leonard and Peiman looked at each other. This party didn't look like a "trap"? Instead, it was a very normal, valuable, and relatively safe extraordinary party!
Is the client normal? Is the last name just a coincidence?
The party members all had many questions, some of them asked directly:
"Another investigation? What a bunch of hyenas!" "Mr. Wisdom Eyes, is it really that serious? Wasn't the Aurora Society responsible?" "I don't dare go out at night!"
And the obvious "fat pharmacist" said:
"It's a pity that we don't know where Black Snake died, otherwise we could ask him what happened!"
Black Snake?! Peiman's heart suddenly jumped, so that's it! The previous client was the "Black Snake" and "Red Hair" forces! They are really haunting!
Hmm? You see we have no money and no connections, so you give us money and introduce us to the Extraordinary Party? Are you so considerate?
The Eye of Wisdom spoke out to stop him:
"Don't mention the Black Snake anymore, and don't mention anything about the Aurora Society anymore! We can't afford to offend either of them. We just want to have a place to huddle together for warmth! Pharmacist, you leave next."
"Okay... By the way, everyone, remember to keep an eye out for the medullary crystals of the 'Fountain of Elves'. I will give you enough rewards in exchange! See you at the next gathering!" The fat pharmacist said to everyone as he followed the waiter away.
Leonard looked at the "Fat Pharmacist" a few more times and speculated that the client's medicine was bought from this person, and this person might also be a subordinate of "Black Snake"!
After the two left the party, they immediately boarded a horse-drawn carriage to the Cherwood area, regardless of the high price. It was really dangerous at night!
"Don't be nervous. According to my guess, the serial killer's crimes are separated by at least three days!" Peiman said to Leonard, who was frowning.
"Hmm... maybe. If it's really that regular, it would be more like a 'devil'..." Leonard replied and said:
"Relax yourself, we should be safe..."
Crunch!
Suddenly, the sound of wheels rubbing against the ground and the driver calling for the horses to stop was heard, followed by the powerful inertia that pushed the two people in the carriage forward suddenly!
Leonard quickly placed his hand on the spot where Peiman's head was about to hit, and then opened the door of the carriage. At that moment, he felt the creepy malice! He didn't have time to think about it, and immediately pulled over the driver who was trembling with fear and speechless, and took the reins himself and swung them up and down!
Snapped!
The horse felt pain and had an instinctive desire to escape, so it let out a sharp neigh and then ran away madly on all fours!
Leonard did not show any weakness and shouted:
"Go! Run! Help! Murderer!"
The sound was so abrupt that it startled the lights in the houses as it echoed in the streets that had returned to silence as night fell.
Endless malice flowed in the eyes of the big black dog, but its figure gradually disappeared in the dark night.
All of this was seen by Patrick Jason. Instead of stopping the two from escaping, he showed a cruel smile. He walked up to the victim and wrote on the wall in bright red:
"I am not of the Aurora Society, Naughty Jack."
