Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 143 The scheming frog keeps touching your belly!
When Ember and Hibbert returned to Holga's luxurious villa from the manor in the suburbs, they saw Audrey in the garden. She was playing a game of eagle and chicken with two little lolis surrounded by a group of maids. —Susie is an eagle.

Although she was being a bad guy, Susie seemed to be in a very good mood, her tail wagging greatly.

Hibbert yelled softly, "Audrey!"

"Brother, Ash, what happened?"

The maids retreated to the side in a sensible manner, and Audrey walked forward with sisters Kulala, and asked with some doubts.

Hibbert looked a little dignified, but he still pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile:

"It's nothing, I just came here to tell you, try not to go out these few days."

"Okay." Audrey was startled for a moment, then nodded slightly.She knew something must have happened to make Hibbert feel uneasy, but she didn't ask.

"Ash."

Hibbert turned to Ember and asked politely, "Can I trouble you to take care of Audrey?"

"of course."

Ember nodded slightly, Audrey glanced at the two of them, her thoughts moved slightly, and she said softly:

"Kurala, let's go back to the room. Susie, follow."

"Wang!"

Susie responded, wagging her tail and followed.Seeing this, Hibbert showed a somewhat helpless expression towards Ember, Ember just shrugged, and went upstairs together.

Seeing Susie crouching in front of the door pointing the way in the corridor, Ember pushed the door open, and Audrey and Kulala were inside.

Looking at the embers that entered through the door, Audrey lowered her voice and asked:
"Ember, what happened?"

Ember closed the door smoothly, shook her head and said:

"I don't know exactly what happened. I only know that the archbishop of the Church of Storms personally took action. He should be hunting down a vicious Extraordinary, but it probably has nothing to do with us."

"That's it."

Audrey nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly had an idea, and said, "Maybe, we can ask Mister Fool?"

Ember stared at Audrey for a while, and after confirming that she wasn't joking, she couldn't help complaining:
"Are you a Doraemon when you're a fool?"

"I……"

Audrey opened her lips lightly. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard the sound of a dog barking from the corridor. It was Susie, followed by slight footsteps in the corridor. Judging from the rhythm, it belonged to her mother Caitlin. .The footsteps came from far to near, and finally stopped at the door of the room without any movement.Audrey immediately swallowed back what she was going to say, put on a shallow smile, and said curiously:

"I want to know more anecdotes about Emperor Roselle, can you tell me about it?"

Ember pondered for two seconds, then nodded slightly: "Of course."

Although he didn't know much about Roselle, anecdotes, aren't they just unofficial history?He is still good at making up stories! ——
The sewage river flows in the sewer ditch, and Klein clings to the wet walls and icy pipes, hiding in the darkness and waiting for his enemies to come to his door.

There is no light here, and ordinary people can only smell the pungent and rancid smell in the air when they come here, and they can't see anything in sight.But for Klein in the spirit state, these are not obstacles.

At this time, there was still a corpse lying in front of him—a corpse that was as thin as a shadow, as if it had no thickness.The Sequence 5 Extraordinary who successfully assassinated Duke Negan died quietly in the gutter.

"I really don't want to care about these things."

Klein sighed in his heart. If possible, he hoped that the official Extraordinary could handle all of this.But the results of divination showed that this 'Apostle of Desire' successfully escaped from the pursuit of the Nighthawks.Klein, who had already been assassinated by the opponent, didn't want to be remembered by an enemy hiding in the shadows, so he had to deal with this 'Apostle of Desire' here!
After waiting for a while, the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Apostle of Desire' emerged—it was something like a black mist.But before he could observe carefully, a tall and heavy silver armor rushed towards him.

Klein's heart tightened, and he wrapped the spirit and Extraordinary characteristics of the 'Apostle of Desire' without hesitation and ended the summoning.

After returning to the gray mist, Klein didn't rush to psychic communication, and directly left the mysterious space and entered the body of the real world.He expertly packed away the candles and other ritual items, quickly removing the last traces.

After doing all this, he made a double again, walked four steps backwards, and came to the ancient palace above the gray mist.Here, he can directly communicate with the surviving spirits like a real "psychic", no need to pray to anyone, or even ritual assistance.This point, he had already verified when he was channeling the 'Secret Puppet Master' Rosago.

Looking at the "Apostle of Desire" with brown hair and brown eyes and empty eyes, Klein spread his spirituality and asked:
"What exactly are you plotting?"

The spirit of the 'Apostle of Desire' said in a daze:

"Assassinate Duke Negan."

Duke Negan?It's him again?Who wants him to die so much?Klein asked in a little astonishment:

"Did you make it?"

"Successful." "Apostle of Desire" replied calmly, without saying anything else.

"Who ordered you?"

"Apostle of Desire" said in a calm tone:

"Twilight Hermit Society."

In the evening, Earl Hall's carriage returned to the villa.He summoned the others immediately, and ordered in a deep voice:

"Try not to go out these days!"

Audrey was taken aback for a moment, this was exactly the same as what Hibbert said in the afternoon.

"Dad, what happened?" Audrey asked in a low voice.

Earl Hall's expression was extremely solemn, and he said in a deep voice:

"Duke Negan was assassinated."

Audrey was at a loss for a moment, feeling that it wasn't real enough.Such a great nobleman, such a duke who was full of flesh and blood, could talk and laugh, and gave him a manor just died like this?Suddenly, she experienced the cruelty and coldness of the adult world.

And, why Duke Negan again?The last assassination by Qilingos was aimed at Duke Negan, but this time... Who did Duke Negan offend?

Audrey understood why Earl Hall made such a decision—although the assassination was aimed at Duke Negan, there was no guarantee that there would be no threat to ordinary nobles like them. Maybe some people would fish in troubled waters to assassinate other nobles?
And a nobleman like Earl Hall, who is second to none in the country, is likely to become the target of some interested people, so...

and many more!

Audrey changed color slightly, as if she suddenly thought of something, and suddenly asked:

"Father, is there any news that other nobles have been assassinated recently?"

Earl Hall was taken aback for a moment, frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head slightly:

"No, the most recent assassination of nobles was the last time Duke Negan was assassinated by Vice Admiral Hurricane. Well, that time you exposed Vice Admiral Hurricane in advance, which stopped his plot. It's a pity, Duke Negan There was no escape after all.”

Audrey silently took a deep breath in her heart, restrained her emotions well, and followed up and asked:
"Who did it?"

"A Sequence 5 demon."

Earl Hall sighed, and said with emotion, "But he has been silenced, and it is probably impossible to find the mastermind behind him. But such a big thing happened, there must be an explanation, the prime minister has decided to put Push this matter to the head of the Aurora Society."

The current prime minister, Agusid Negan, is the younger brother of Duke Negan. One of these two is the largest nobleman other than the king, and the other is the most powerful person in the parliament other than the king. Their status in the Loen Kingdom can be said to be powerful.But even so, facing the assassination of a Sequence 5 Extraordinary, he still couldn't escape the murderous hand after all.

"dad."

Audrey made a nervous and frightened look, lowered her voice and asked, "I want to know the details of the assassination, is that okay?"

Earl Hall was stunned for a moment, wondering why Audrey was suddenly interested in these things.But after thinking about it, she felt that maybe it was the reason why Duke Negan gave Audrey a manor before, which made her want to help Duke Negan find the murderer.Earl Hall couldn't help laughing a little, but he didn't refuse his daughter's innocent request, and told him the information he knew in detail.

From Duke Negan's private meeting with his mistress to being assassinated, to when the Nighthawks arrived but still allowed the assassin to escape, everything was in detail.After a pause, Earl Hall sighed again:
"In fact, the reason why Duke Negan arranged his mistress in the Jorwood area is because it is close to the Holy Wind Cathedral. His Excellency Ace Snake, the 'Singer of God', was there. He thought he was assassinated Your Excellency the Song of God will arrive in time at the first time, but the Song of God was lured away by the enemy's bait, which led to the successful assassination of Duke Negan. The Prime Minister was furious about this, and the Church of the Storm has agreed to replace Baekeland Archbishop of the Diocese."

"Father, I'm not feeling well. I'm going back to my room first." Audrey said softly after listening in silence.

Earl Hall didn't doubt it either, he just thought that Audrey felt uncomfortable when he heard about the assassination of Duke Negan, and comforted him:
"Go ahead and get a good night's sleep, everything will be fine tomorrow."

Audrey went upstairs in silence, Susie followed behind, uncharacteristically did not wag her tail, and seemed to be in a low mood.All the way to Audrey's bedroom, Susie instinctively wanted to follow in to comfort the master, but Audrey suddenly turned her head and whispered:

"Susie, stay outside the door."

Susie was taken aback, and then immediately reacted, she squatted on the corridor with a 'woof', shaking her tail slightly.

"call!"

In the room, Audrey locked the door and took a deep breath.

She discovered something, but she couldn't share it with her family because it would put them at risk.So the first thing she thought of was Ember, but Ember had already left before dinner, and Audrey didn't want to wait until tomorrow when they met to talk about it, by then it might be too late.Therefore, Audrey intends to seek help from Mister Fool.

Audrey sat by the bed, closed her eyes and whispered a prayer to Mister Fool in ancient Hermes:
"A fool who does not belong to this age;"

"The mysterious ruler above the gray mist;"

"The Yellow and Black King of Good Luck."

After reciting the honorable name, Audrey briefly described the assassination of Duke Negan, and she followed closely:
"Mr. Fool, I request to communicate with Mr. Lover alone."
-
15 Minsk Street.

Hearing the illusory and layered prayers that suddenly came from his ears, Klein skillfully came to the gray mist, saw the crimson star symbolizing 'justice' constantly expanding and contracting, immediately spreading spirituality, touching and go.

After listening to 'Justice''s prayer, Klein did not hesitate at all, and once again spread his spirituality to the cluster of flames representing 'embers', passing Miss 'Justice''s prayer to the other party.

He didn't act in a hurry, but pulled him above the gray mist after confirming that he heard the response from Ember.

In the majestic hall, two figures of a man and a woman quietly appeared in front of the ancient mottled bronze long table.

"Mr. Lover."

Audrey breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the familiar figure, but she quickly recounted what she had heard from Earl Hall in detail. Finally, she paused and asked, "Do you still remember Islaan?" What did Miss Te say?"

"What?" Ember was thinking about who Escalante was, but couldn't react for a while.

Audrey reminded: "Miss Escalante said that the first time she met Hvin Rambis was at Hilbert's house. And that time, Hvin Rambis went to Hilbert The reason for the special family is to ask Hilbert to assist in the assassination of a nobleman."

Ember understood immediately, and asked:

"Do you suspect that this 'noble' is Duke Negan?"

"Correct."

Audrey said seriously, "In the past few months, there have been only two nobles who have been assassinated. One is Duke Negan and the other is Baron Gramere."

"And Baron Gramere was assassinated because Chillingus wanted to pretend to be him to assassinate Duke Negan. Therefore, the nobleman Hilbert assisted in the assassination was probably 'Duke Negan'!"

Klein's thoughts moved slightly, but he still kept the 'Fool' aloof and did not take the initiative to intervene.

Ember pondered for two seconds, then said slowly: "Tell me about your analysis."

Audrey thought for two seconds, organized her thoughts, and said quickly:

"First of all, there must be a traitor by Duke Negan's side to provide the 'assassin' with the detailed itinerary of Duke Negan. That's why the Sequence 5 demon was able to lure His Excellency Song of God away at the exact time, while he himself Take the opportunity to successfully assassinate Duke Negan."

"The situation last time was very similar. Although there were many nobles who participated in the Duke Negan's ball, it was not easy to obtain the seats of these nobles. Not to mention the Baron Gramere who lived alone and was unobtrusive. , and at the same time suitable for the nobles who attack.”

"There must be a huge organization behind this that is helping Qilingus and the Sequence 5 demon to provide information. It is they who provided the specific information on Baron Gramere so that Qilingus can replace him, and carry out an investigation on Duke Negan. Assassination. It was they who reported the detailed itinerary of Duke Negan, which made it difficult for Duke Negan to escape this assassination."

"Psychological alchemy perfectly fits all of this. Their top executives are royal advisors. And the group that Miss Islander is in has always been committed to developing members among the relatives and families of nobles. Even Mrs. Norma is a member of them. .”

Audrey paused, and said solemnly, "Although Mrs. Norma's husband is only a hereditary viscount, Mrs. Norma herself is the younger sister of Duchess Della of Negan! Even Mrs. Della may be one of them. member."

Klein's expression was a little shocked, but also a little weird.I have to say that Miss Justice's analysis is indeed very rigorous and convincing.But the problem is, that demon was killed by Klein himself, and the organization that instigated the other party is not the Psychological Alchemist...

Klein thought about it and decided to disclose this information to the two of them.So he gently tapped the edge of the ancient long table with his index finger, attracting the eyes of the two, and slowly said:

"Twilight Hermit Society."

"Eh?" Audrey was stunned for a moment.

Klein glanced at both sides respectively, and said in a low and soothing voice:

"My family member is on the scene, and he is looking for the organization that instigated the apostle of desire."

Audrey was completely stunned, so the organization that instigated the Desire Apostle was actually the Twilight Hermit Society?Wasn't all her previous analysis in vain?No, not only is it in vain, but it will make her look stupid!

Audrey whispered: "Then, let's pretend I didn't say that."

"maybe."

Ember pondered for two seconds, and said slowly, "'Hilbert' received the instruction from Hvin Rambis to assassinate the nobleman, and he must have acted. This is an established fact. And the only one who was assassinated recently was Duke Negan , so there is a great possibility that psychological alchemy will be involved."

"The 'Twilight Hermit Society' is behind the scenes, but it doesn't mean that the Psychological Alchemist Society is innocent. The relationship between them is probably similar to the relationship between the Witch Sect and the Gnostic Society."

Audrey's eyes lit up, but she still remained calm and analyzed calmly:

"You mean, the Psychological Alchemist Society is a subordinate organization of the Twilight Hermit Society? The 'Twilight Hermit Society' releases missions, the 'Apostle of Desire' is responsible for executing them, and the 'Psychological Alchemist Society' is responsible for providing intelligence support. Well, this is related to the royal family and military affairs The Ninth Office has the same relationship with the military.”

The more Audrey thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. Although there was a little willfulness in not wanting to admit that her analysis was useless, it was more because the possibility of such a guess was indeed very high.

Thinking like this, Audrey subconsciously turned her attention to the 'Fool', after all, the existence of the Twilight Hermit Society was revealed by 'The Fool'.

"Don't look at me, how would I know!"

Klein felt a little helpless, the name 'Twilight Hermit' was only known to him not long ago.And how could he know the relationship between the Psychological Alchemist Society and the Twilight Hermit Society!But now facing Miss Justice's eyes, he couldn't say nothing.

After thinking for a while, Klein leaned back on the back of the chair and reminded casually:

"In the outside world, don't mention the name of that organization, and don't write it down."

"Why?" Audrey blurted out in astonishment.

Klein responded calmly:

"Whoever speaks shall be known."

"Whoever speaks must be known?"

Audrey subconsciously looked at Mister Fool, feeling that Mr. Fool seemed to be emphasizing something.

What Mister Fool means is that as long as you are not in His Kingdom of God, not talking to Him, mentioning or writing down the name of "Twilight Hermit Society", they will be sensed by them in some way or by a certain item... It should be That's what it means... It's really an extremely secretive and very personal organization!To some extent, it is even scarier than the Church of the Seven Gods...

Klein's thoughts suddenly moved slightly, and he had a bold idea:

If an organization like the Twilight Hermit Society really took action, they would send someone to assassinate Duke Negan, but it was unlikely that they would personally make a detailed plan for the assassination.And this coincides with Ember's guess—the Twilight Hermit Society is only responsible for issuing assassination orders, and the specific execution level is carried out by the Psychological Alchemist Society.

And if Ember and Miss Justice's conjectures come true, does that mean that they can completely follow the psychological alchemy society to deduce it and find the Twilight Hermit Society by following the clues?Klein would be lying if he said he wasn't interested in the organization the Great Emperor had joined.However, he also knows that he is not qualified to contact this organization for the time being, but if it is embers... Well, he might be able to kill it directly, it depends on whether there are enough 'hermits' from the Twilight Hermit Society for him to burn.

After brainstorming for a while, Audrey asked hesitantly:
"Mr. Lover, what do you think?"
