Chapter 89
Three detectives returned to the house that Caroline had arranged for Athena with a dead body.

Employers are waiting for them.

"We failed."

"I see."

When Detective Hooke, who was sent to deal with Bruno's Detective Agency, came back with the corpse of his companion, Athena Pruger was not surprised.

Because she knew there would be surprises.

The more rigorous the steps of the plan, the more accidents there will be.

It's like she made two semi-finished products to check on Joe Mani's recent situation for herself, but accidentally bumped into a wild werewolf.

As long as a grain of sand is embedded in the working structure, the movement of the gears inside the clock will be off track, and the correct time will not be displayed.

So she has other plans.

Believe that the trusted dwarf will surprise the Skinny Dog Detective.

Athena only had a brief recollection of her backhand, and quickly withdrew from that incident.

"Don't worry about him. You have a new mission. There is an antique shop in the parish of St. Mored. Its name is rusted silver coins. You should investigate its owner. That guy is a werewolf who can track scents. If you Decided to search the store or his home, it's best to finish the matter at once, don't waste the wetland potion I gave you, and don't leave any traces to let him know that someone has been there. Diesel?"

She noticed that the bald detective Hook, who was carrying the corpse of his companion, didn't seem to be listening. He was the deputy of the team, and he was also absent-minded at the moment.

Athena could understand this, people who have no faith always show such a pathetic ugliness.

All sufferings during life will be settled after death, everyone's position has been determined by their own actions, and there is no position between heaven and hell.

Detective Hook helps the Holy Grail only because of money, so each of them has the potential to go to hell.

Diesel's pupils refocused on Athena, giving the response she didn't want to hear:

"Sorry ma'am, we decline this operation."

"Just because someone died?" Athena frowned. She raised her hand to look at her palm, and grasped the air a few times. The sensitivity was not satisfactory.

"No, it's because of your distrust." Diesel raised his hand, and slowly changed the angle of the body behind him to save effort, his hands were covered with blood: "You spent money, and it's only natural that we die because of it. But in The contract also stipulates that you should provide the existing information to avoid our casualties as much as possible. Before this operation, you did not tell us the details of the owner of the Bruno Detective Agency, but you clearly know it.”

The Hooke detectives are not idiots, and by now they are well aware of their roles.

It's a living tool that you don't need to feel bad about if you lose your life.

During the few days under Carolingian's command, they discovered that although this man was arrogant, he was also very careful.

If he was going to hire detectives to investigate Athena's details in private, he would never have a conversation near Athena, who was known to have incredible magic.

Magic is not omnipotent, and Diesel also has the ability to recognize the traces of magic. It is certain that there is no hidden magic in Carolin——In order to cooperate with the actions of the Holy Grail, the office assigned three extraordinary people to join the mission. is one of them.

Athena was able to learn that Carolin was recruiting people to investigate her, and it could only be that she had placed a pawn in that detective agency in advance.

If there is an exchange plan in advance, they can easily solve this firm by cooperating with the inside and outside, instead of attacking by force.But because the information provided by Athena was not enough, they were counterattacked by the owner of the firm and killed a companion.

None of them thought that Bruno would use the house he lived in as his office, and thought that he chose to open an office in a residential area because he couldn't afford the land in the commercial street.

This man was poorer than they thought.

When they entered Bruno Detective Agency, they underestimated the possibility that there were people inside.

Facing the detective's persecution, the spider priest had no choice but to let out a sigh.

She hates facing this situation. As a weaver of the dark network, she hates the matter of "explaining the limits of her abilities to others".

This was one of the reasons why she didn't have a particularly good impression of Creighton.

Athena put down her palms and looked at the detective with an aggrieved look: "Diesel, I can't control a person's spirit for a long time, so the person you think of can't cooperate with you. I want others to follow my instructions , requires relatively complicated steps to do it, otherwise everything can only be induced."

"I hope what you say is true."

"We should trust each other." The blond-haired, blue-eyed monster gave a perfect smile.

If it wasn't for the rush and the constraints of the Holy Grail Society, she really wanted to kill them all—with a calm attitude.

Diesel was moved by that smile. He lowered his head slightly and put on a hat to cover his bald head: "We will report all these problems. This is the last active force action. We will separate after your things arrive. .”

Another task of the firm is to build a base in Sasha City, and someone must be a supervisor.

"Of course. Now let me tell you what you need to pay attention to."

Athena knows the advantages of her appearance, so she often uses it, and now she is very proficient in this aspect.

While talking to him with a smile, she thought about how to deal with Clayton Bello.

The werewolf seemed suspicious of the Grail Order's code of conduct, but his worth outweighed the disrespect.

Werewolves belong to the group with relatively strong fecundity among the Darkin, and they are also shapeshifters with the ability to hide.Clayton's appearance is particularly good, and if he can be persuaded to be religious, then his physical condition can be used to advantage.In less than 100 years, he can create hundreds of offspring with wolf blood to serve the Holy Grail.

Those werewolves with inheritance are mostly druids, and it is difficult to naturalize, and wild werewolves will only appear during the unstable time of the dark moon tidal disturbance.

Both the newborn and the sealed one have no inheritance, so they are easier to be wooed.

The Presbyterian Church is by no means an opponent of the Holy Grail Society in this regard, they are too stingy.

Athena needed to understand Creighton's needs better so she could make an offer he couldn't refuse.

Of course, being able to recruit him is good, but if it fails, Athena will not let him fight against her again.After all, he killed Moore, although she doesn't mind as a mother, but in terms of tasks, she is responsible to her subordinates.

".The specific situation is like this. If you are discovered by him during the operation, try to escape to a crowded place. These shapeshifters dare not release their power in public. You can even hide in the church, because he You are dark descendants, so the clergy have an obligation to protect you."

While some of these detectives also have superhumans, Spider-Priest doesn't believe they can outwit Creighton.

She had a vague compatriot feeling for Clayton.

"Is there a time limit for this mission?" Diesel asked.

Athena narrowed her eyes, but then relaxed: "What do you guys have to do recently?"

"We're going to bury Cooper."

Cooper is Detective Hook who was shot and killed.

"I think there is enough time. Just do your best to investigate this person within a week. His accent is not a local, which means that he has not moved to this city not long ago. He must have dealt with many people when he moved to this city. .”

"We are detectives."

Diesel interrupted the spider priest's warning, he stared at her for a few seconds, and then left with the others.

The room was deserted again.

Facing the empty room, Athene Bruggot laughed nervously.

This body has reached its limit again.

She walked into the bathroom, took off her clothes in front of the mirror, and took a sideways photo of her exquisite body.Then he raised the palm with five fingers together, and inserted it into his chest like a harpoon, peeling off the white and dried flesh with corpse spots one by one, like a self-sculpted plaster statue.

When the white flesh and blood fell one by one, the real body at the bottom was revealed.

She has her own body parts, those parts continue to the waist, but she is very thin, her chest is shriveled, her arms are thin, her abdomen is sunken like a mummy, so she can be shaped into other figures at will, and her waist is like a spider of arthropods.

On the skin lacking in moisture, the crow-blue lines containing the ancient curse crawled between the breasts, passed down from generation to generation.

Her mother used to have plump breasts, but in her generation, her breasts have declined unbelievably, and even her arms have begun to weaken, and the situation has worsened since then.As time passed, her body became weaker and weaker.

Athena tried to create nearly a hundred offspring, but none of them naturally inherited the darkin blood.

Even if the blood of desire is accepted, it can only produce deformed people who have completely lost the ability to reproduce.

They used to be the cruel and terrifying spider elves in the legend, but now they are on the verge of extinction, and even changed their name 100 years ago.

Athena witnessed these painful transformations,
But she is also happy, because she was lucky enough to know the return of Dark Moon while she was still alive.

"everything will get better."

She pressed her belly with one hand and said to herself in the mirror.

The power of life is conceived in it again.

Behind the Wandering Street Church in St. Alvin's Parish is the cemetery of this parish, with cross-shaped white stone tombstones standing behind it.

At the front of the cemetery there is a specially vacant space, and at the end is the back of the church building, with a row of poplars planted on both sides, where the washbasin for disposing of the corpses is located.

The washing platform is an open-air stone platform with a slight depression in the middle, which is long enough to accommodate a two-meter-tall person.

When the priest baptizes the corpse, he needs to strip off the deceased’s clothes, shave off the hair other than the head, and then apply holy water and ointment on it. The waiter will recite the Rosary and pray that the deceased will ascend to heaven.

This is about privacy, so the area is closed off for important funerals.

But if there are too many corpses to be processed at the same time, the priest will skip the complicated steps and directly spray the holy water on the corpses with a shower to speed up the ritual process.

Not being curious and not lowering prices is the mercy of the clergy to the dead of suspicious causes.

Diesel stayed here, and he sent the other two to go outside the city and the other to contact his companions at the Bronze Horse Inn to inform them of Cooper's death.

He himself stayed here, waiting for the priest to dispose of the body.

Cooper has no relatives, so it doesn't matter which city he is buried in. He usually tells others with a smile that he only enjoys the present. It's all divided.

Now it seems that this kind of thinking is really necessary for their lives.
