I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 213 The Devil's Summoning Ceremony

On the way to escape, Todd kept silent.

As an orthodox member of the Divine State, Todd Barker can be regarded as a true seedling. His ancestors followed Anthony, one of the Big Three, to carry muskets in the wilderness, and fought orcs in the north. He made great achievements in battle, and the Buck family is still in the Divine State. Big family inside.

Because of this, Todd began to doubt life after hearing the words of Father Puji that could be called "rebellious".

Above the Pope of the Thirteenth Church, is the priest of Puji?

The so-called 'Father Phuket' is not a name, but a position handed down from time to time!

Todd didn't know for a while how many secrets and surprises were waiting for him in this world.

Thinking of this, Todd looked at Mr. Luden beside him.

Obviously, all this has something to do with Mr. Luden.

Todd certainly knows the meaning of the name 'Luden' to Shenbang.

He was just a little unsure whether the ancient legend of the Kingdom of God was true or not.

According to legend, every few hundred years or thousands of years, a "Luden" will descend to bring blessings to the world.

This legend is too bizarre, children will discuss it as a ghost story, and adults will put on a straight face and warn the children not to be disrespectful to the great tribune Loudon.

Todd didn't take this story seriously at first, knowing that he met the dean, who was suspected to be Brando's godfather, named Luden.

When the horses stopped running, Todd came back to his senses and found that everyone appeared outside the nursing home.

This sanatorium is the property of the Knights of St. Peter. According to the warrant of the King of the Little United Kingdom, the land of the sanatorium is owned by the Knights of St. Peter and has a certain degree of extrajudicial immunity.

Many people who have committed crimes will come to nursing homes, beg for asylum, and evade legal sanctions.

Of course, these people also need to pay a price, pay a lot of money, work as laborers in the sanatorium, or directly join the St. Peter's Knights and become servants.

Core tenet: those who have money contribute money, and those who have no money contribute effort.

After setting foot on the land of the sanatorium, nearly a hundred knights turned around and left the sanatorium without any stop, not knowing where they were going.

Only Luden, Todd and Father Puji were left at the door, waiting for the master to show up.

Not long after, a cardinal greeted him.

The cardinal first bowed slightly to Luden, then looked at Father Puji, and greeted,

"Your Majesty the Pope, the saints bless you."

Father Phuket shook his head,

"I'm no longer the Pope, and there are no saints."

The cardinal didn't answer this sentence, turned around and led the way for the three of them, walking while talking,

"I'm Noelle Jager, one of the cardinals of the Thirteenth Holy Order, and the vice president of St. Peter's Sanatorium in the Fog City here. You can call me Noelle, this way please."

Noelle took Luden and Todd around in the nursing home, found a single quiet building, and handed the key to Luden.

Obviously, these were prepared long ago.

"We will also pay some attention to the poor children in the Oliver Orphanage to ensure that there will be no accidents during this period. When the incident subsides and you go back, your life will not change in any way."

After speaking, the cardinal took his leave and left.

The nursing home can provide temporary shelter, and it can also allow Luden and Todd to get out of things and avoid the storm temporarily.

That night, Luden lay on the plank bed and finally had a good quality sleep.

The next day, he sat in the restaurant on the first floor, eating and reading the morning newspaper.

"Last night, there was an explosion in the dungeon of the Southern Street Security Team, and the security team found two dead bodies at the scene.

Accused 'Jack the Ripper' Todd Barker and his accomplice Loudon Corleone were likely killed in the blast after using the wrong amount of explosives in their escape, according to unnamed sources. .
The Vigilante has not issued any official statement on the matter.”

Todd also noticed the report.

As long as he is willing, he can start over if he leaves Wudu now and lives in another country.

Todd shook his head, dismissing the idea.

His late wife is still here, and their wedding has yet to take place.

And
Todd's eyes fell on Mr. Luden, his eyes were full of curiosity.

A new godfather, the director of the orphanage, bears the legendary name of 'Luden', who can make the former pope saddle like a servant.
Todd felt that things would be much more interesting with Mr. Luden next to him.

After breakfast, Father Phuket appeared in the restaurant with a tired face and more than one scent of perfume on his body.

Luden, who was drinking coffee and reading the newspaper, glanced at Father Phuket, and immediately launched a 'moral condemnation',
"Oh, the guy who lives indiscriminately."

Father Puji showed a helpless smile.

If it's just fifty steps and one hundred steps, Father Puji can still accept Luden's accusation.

But this guy is laughing at a hundred steps with ten thousand steps. What has he done before, does he really have no AC number in his heart?
Todd also joined the team of moral condemnation, nodded slightly, silently echoing Mr. Luden.

He loved his wife very much, and after she passed away, this love still did not dissipate.

Todd couldn't help asking,
"Mr. Luden, do you have a wife?"

"Have."

Luden put down his coffee cup and said casually,

"My wife has a bad temper. She wanted to hang me. As for my last relationship, that woman stabbed me in the ribs. Well, we haven't seen each other for many years, and I don't know how she treats me all these years. Has your hatred diminished?"

Todd listened intently, not missing any detail.

He believes that Mr. Luden is not making up stories, he can distinguish lies from truth, and Mr. Luden is very sincere.

It must be very painful to be stabbed in the ribs with a knife. If an organ is stabbed, the person will even be speechless in pain.

Mr. Luden is still alive, which is already a blessing.

Maybe it's blessings.

Moreover, according to Mr. Luden's tone, he hasn't seen that woman for many years, and during these years, Mr. Luden has no new romance.

Only focusing on two women, in this day and age, is too innocent.

It sounds like Mr. Luden is a decent person!
Todd expressed deep sympathy and understanding for what happened to Mr. Luden, and echoed,
"When my wife was still alive, we would argue, and sometimes I wanted to knock her head open to see what was going on inside. Of course, I didn't do that. I just said...that's what lovers do sometimes."

Luden nodded frequently, and chatted happily with Todd, sharing the experience of falling in love and killing each other with his two lovers.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Father Puji, who knew the truth, couldn't laugh or cry. He could only shake his head while drinking coffee.

Luden put down the newspaper of the day, he had already read it.

Miller still didn't publish that report, and didn't try to provoke Jack the Ripper.

However, no problem.

Luden looked at Father Puji and said seriously,

"It's time to talk about business."

"Please."

"Someone is behind the scenes."

Luden said seriously,

"Assuming that His Majesty didn't reveal my existence, there is only one reason why Jack the Ripper wanted me. Someone told him."

Father Puji nodded, "Indeed."

"Don't you think it's a coincidence?"

Luden pointed to Todd who was beside the table, and said seriously,
"Todd the Barber, Jack the Ripper, what era is this, are the stars shining like human beings? Even if they are humanoids, they shouldn't be serial killers gathering in the fog, right? And you should have read that book. "

Father Phuket nodded again,

"Indeed, according to rumors, that book sold very well back then."

When he was in Qiyun Kingdom, in order to make a fortune, Lu Deng did everything within the legal scope.

He became a public writer and wrote different stories under various pseudonyms.

In "The Detective Collection of Sherlock Holmes", Luden created many images of classic serial murderers:

Sweeney Todd, Jack the Ripper
Of course, the tone of the whole book is still positive!

Any crime will be brought to justice!
In Qiyun, this book is indeed a bestseller, and even the later empress liked to read it very much.

The problem is... the things in the book, after thousands of years, suddenly ran into reality.

Then there is only one possibility: someone, or an organization, is consciously cultivating these serial killers.

Luden's work became their guide!

From the first moment he saw Jack the Ripper, Luden began to think about it.

He suspected the Heresy Trial, but the other party behaved as if he didn't know.

Awu is busy with revenge, and the queen and Al are still walking on the moon.

Potential suspects Louden knew were ruled out.

Who else could it be?
Luden looked at Father Puji, he knew that the other party knew something.

"That's right, Mr. Luden"

Father Puji coughed lightly, with a strange expression on his face,

"I don't know if you remember, Mr. Lu Deng, the tribune, led a team to investigate the Qiyun ruins, and brought back a batch of books, which are important materials for studying the Qiyun Kingdom."

Luden nodded, of course he remembered.

Todd is no stranger to this period of history. It is precisely because of these materials that Shenbang finally abolished the thirteen holy descendant families and moved from a republic to a monarchy.

However, what does this matter have to do with the murderer in Wudu four hundred years later?
"Some people, when studying Qiyun's materials, their direction is a bit off. They yearn for the devil to descend. Do you understand what I mean?"

What Father Puji said was very cryptic, but Luden understood.

Just like in the Qiyun Kingdom era, people couldn't resist the temptation of eternal life, and they went on the wrong path endlessly.

They need a demon.

Slay demons and gain eternal life.

Father Phuket continued,

"Some of them think that re-enacting the creation of a certain literary author and restoring it in reality can speed up the summoning of demons. Is it an evil taboo summoning ceremony?"

Hearing this, Lu Deng's new doubts were resolved.

These people who yearn for immortality form an organization, take root in civilized society, hide it, and pass the secret down from generation to generation.

The empress does have the strength to exterminate these people, even without relying on the Inquisition, she can easily do it.

But why do it?

As far as the queen is concerned, she is too lazy to care about the future of mankind, she is already tired.

And what these people do will not only not anger the empress, but to some extent, the empress will benefit from it!
If they really summoned Luden ahead of time.
The queen can reward them with a nuke depending on the situation.

"The first is Sweeney Todd, the second is Jack the Ripper."

Luden rubbed his temples and sighed,

"Do you remember the third article in the catalogue, what is it?"

Although Luden can remember every detail of the best-selling book he wrote many years ago, it is hard work to remember, so it is better to ask others for the answer directly.

"remember."

Father Puji nodded and said a name,
"Gourmet, Hannibal."
