Lord of the Mysteries v7c18 - Tencent MTL

In the present age, belief in gods is universal in this world, and the only difference lies in which god they believe in, so even if Roy, Pasha and others do not understand the meaning of the term angel in the occult, they have more or less heard stories about angels from the mouths of priests, bishops and the elders around them, knowing that they are the attendants of gods and powerful creatures qualified to be called "him". Every move can create miracles, which is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people.

In the hearts of these four extraordinary beings, angels are the holy spirits of another world on another level. under normal circumstances, they live in the kingdom of God and can be treated as real legends, regardless of their practical significance. Just like in the wars they have experienced before, although there are occasionally extraordinary people who make them feel terrible to this day, it absolutely does not remind them of angels.

The two are not on the same level at all!

But today, a wandering, mysterious "magician" told them that the head of the Patriarch of the God of War Church was an angel walking on the earth.

For the gentleman who has shown a lot of magic, Phil and others believe from the bottom of their heart that one is that the other party has met their wishes and is friendly enough, and the other is that they do not think that people like themselves are qualified to be deceived in this matter. as far as they are concerned, it makes no difference whether the Archbishop is an angel or an extraordinarily powerful one.

The reality of the world is far beyond our imagination. Once again, Pasha flashed through her usual words.

Roy thought more.

He remembers that the lady Mr. Magician invited out of the air said that she was tracking the head of the Church of the God of War, and that she seemed qualified to see the oracle of the Night Goddess.

He who can track one angel can only be another angel. Judging from the performance of the "wizard" in front of that lady, his position will not be much worse. Roy hurriedly withdrew his subconscious gaze at Klein's back and dared not look directly at each other.

He looked left and right and saw that Phil seemed to have a similar guess, and a very complex emotion emerged from his face, which was white from blood loss.

Byers held his breath for several seconds before he said:

"No wonder such an incomprehensible change has taken place in Beldan."

"now is not the time to lament this. Let's go. The curfew is about to take effect." Klein warned with an unnervous smile.

Pasha hurriedly glanced at the bulletin board and printed the full contents of the curfew into her mind:

". From eight o'clock in the evening to eight o'clock in the morning, it is strictly forbidden to walk outdoors and gather. "

"where should we go?" She blurted out.

Under the dual restrictions of a curfew and the crime of trespassing, they seem to have no choice but to accept punishment.

Klein smiled and said:

"it's just that walking and gathering outdoors are strictly prohibited."

As he spoke, he lit the sewer cover next to him with his foot.

Byers' eyes lit up and said:

"Yes, I didn't say you can't walk inside the sewers!

"where there was a curfew, homeless people took refuge in sewers or abandoned buildings."

Roy and others no longer hesitated, immediately came forward, gave full play to their strength, pushed open the manhole cover and climbed into the sewer.

In the darkness, the yellow fire lit up, and Klein had an extra lantern in his hand.

As he followed the magical wizard, Phil said thoughtfully:

"then we can go to the hotel.

"Byers is a native and will not be attacked, so we can open a suite, and then we climb through the window to enter. Because of the owner's permission, it is not trespassing.

"in this way, we can stay until dawn and wait for the ban to be lifted automatically."

"it's an interesting idea, but our goal is not to survive till dawn." Klein, walking in front of him with a lantern, responded with a smile.

Roy nodded and said:

"if we do nothing and stay in the hotel all the time, the rules will be increased one by one to the extent that foreigners are not allowed to stay in the hotel room."

"in fact, the most interesting thing about that proposal is not to find a loophole in the limit, but to remind me of one thing." Klein half-turned and looked at Byers. "as a native of Beldan, he didn't try to catch strangers."

That is, unaffected by the order on the yellow paper.

This. Pasha and others looked at Byers with a little vigilance, with unconcealed doubts in their expressions.

What they had just experienced confirmed to them that the citizens of Beldan had lost their minds in arresting outsiders.

"I don't know why." Byers whispered in the same bewilderment.

"are you still a citizen of Beldan?" Klein asked casually as he walked slowly through the damp and smelly sewers.

Byers followed him and replied with considerable certainty:

"of course."

Klein said thoughtfully:

"you are a citizen of Beldan on the one hand and a standard outsider on the other. The two attributes overlap and there is a contradiction, so that you do not have to be attacked or intellectually affected under that order."

"if we can create this kind of 'contradiction', can we escape the limits of the rules?" Phil cheered up.

Pasha shook her head:

"but this kind of 'contradiction' is hard to create, at least I can't think of any possibility right now."

At this point, she suddenly paused and hesitated for a moment before she said:

"the most important thing is that we are far away from the bulletin board and have no idea what laws will follow, and there is no way to avoid it."

At that time, I dare not do anything!

Klein smiled and said:

"Don't worry, this mirror can help us see the new additions to the bulletin board."

He casually showed the "magic mirror" that fell to the left palm.

Pasha breathed a sigh of relief, then asked in doubt:

"isn't that the crime of peeping?"

On the surface of the silver mirror, words that seemed to be dripping with blood emerged:

"I look at the bulletin board like looking at the sun during the day. I don't need to peep."

Klein withdrew the Mirror and added with a smile:

"besides, it's just an object. How can you commit a crime?"

That makes sense. Byers and Phil could not help nodding.

When Roy figured it out, he exhaled and asked:

"the most important thing for us to do next is to find that item, but we don't have a clue. As a 'book', it can be anywhere and we can only do citywide search, but it's obviously too late."

"indeed, we have no idea where '0mur02' is, and we don't have a clue at all, but one is very clear." Klein replied leisurely, listening to the footsteps echoing in the sewers.

Pasha had a thought in her heart:

"you mean the Shepherd?"

Klein smiled and nodded:

"'0mur02' is either in his hands or hidden by him somewhere, and it is obvious that a 'book' cannot be transferred on its own, and this is not something that the current rules can help it accomplish."

"but how do we find the shepherd?" Byers blurted out.

I don't know if it's because the magical "wizard" is right next to him, and he's not so afraid of looking for the angel on earth.

Klein held the lantern calmly and said:

"as long as' 0mur02 'does not give the Shepherd immunity, he must also obey the law in the proclamation.

"he was originally a Fossack, and there is no doubt that he was not a Beldan citizen and could not enjoy the treatment of the locals. Similarly, although he is a foreign angel, not a stranger in a narrow sense, he will still be hunted by the citizens. That's for sure."

"in short, the shepherd has to abide by the overnight ban, cannot break into houses, cannot hide in public areas that are closed to the public at night, and at the same time, he should not have a companion with dual attributes like Byers, do you think?" where will he be? "

Roy turned his eyes slightly and said several answers:

"sewers, cemeteries, churches before zero o'clock, abandoned buildings."

"the graveyard at night is inaccessible, and the abandoned building itself has property rights and belongs to a certain person or group." Pasha hurriedly warned.

"well, when access to the sewers is also restricted, we'll go to church to find the shepherd or wait for him." Klein said in a relaxed tone, as if deciding on a small matter.

Roy, Phil and others were a little stunned, but they did not expect that they would be able to lock in the target so easily.

Just a few words of discussion, the whereabouts of an angel will be exposed!

"however, there are several churches in Beldan, and we have to split up to save time, and the shepherd may rely on the level and strength of angels to forcibly confront punishment." Klein said here, bowing his head to the "magic mirror" in his hand, "Arodes, you monitor the whole city, pay attention to the abnormal situation."

Ordering the magic mirror, Klein once again dragged Ms. Arianne out of the fog of history and asked him to take charge of the churches of the Night Church.

After doing these things, he half-turned his body and said to Roy, Pasha and others:

"if the great shepherd cannot be found in this way, it means that he has either left Beldan, leaving only '0mur02' to block the enemy, or has controlled '0mur02' to some extent. In short, we can only do elimination for the time being."

Roy and others nodded at the same time and continued to follow Klein in the sewers.

After a few minutes, the old silver mirror glowed, reflecting a picture:

On the bulletin board, there is another blank sheet of paper with new rules written on it:

". Due to the need of municipal maintenance, no living creature will be allowed to enter the sewers from now on. "

"the speed of new content is getting faster." Klein frowned slightly invisibly, whispered, and took a human leather glove out of the air.

Then he motioned to Pasha and others to hold hands.

Then he grabbed one of them by the shoulder, took them out of the sewer and "teleported" to the nearest storm church.

In this process, the four extraordinary people first saw the rats and cockroaches in the sewers twitching and dying one after another, and were immediately attracted by the strange and abstract spiritual world, as if they had been baptized at the spiritual level.
