Chapter 38 The Idiot and the Plague

Although very tired.

But Truman still got up the next day and continued to work.

Not just for salary.

It was because so many things happened last night. Although Truman covered his face with a mask, if he didn't go to work today, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

Just came to the warehouse.

Truman heard the apprentices talking, saying that the appraiser Abu was seriously injured because of the appraisal last night, and he may no longer be able to engage in appraisal work.

Is it 'seriously injured' instead of 'severely injured'?

Truman pretended to be hearing this for the first time, and carefully asked the young apprentice who spread the gossip what happened.

"Sir, it's in the Central District, you can see it too."

The young apprentices seem to be very smart. Being able to be appraiser apprentices means that they may also become appraisers in the future. They must have very good qualifications and can read and write. This is already the smartest group of people in Lundini up.

The central area is indeed a bit strange now, although the broken gate has been nailed by the carpenter, which can be regarded as temporarily blocking the central area.

But through the gaps between the planks, it was still possible to see the ruined interior—everything reduced to paper and scraps.

There is no known weapon that can destroy everything like this in one night, it can only be caused by 'pollution'.

So Abu's translation of a pottery stele triggered pollution, which caused Abu to be 'severely injured'.

"Mr. Abu can no longer become an appraiser. He lost his mind. When he was taken home, he didn't even recognize his wife." The little apprentice said sadly.

This kind of thing can happen to any appraiser and apprentice, and it especially arouses everyone's empathy.

Truman also lamented a few times, but he knew that he still saved Abu after all. If it wasn't for his actions last night, Abu would probably have turned into a mass of flesh and blood with no human shape—just look at those mice.

"I hope we will all stay away from these terrible pollutions." The little apprentice prayed, "I hope you will not receive mandatory work tasks."

Truman was a little moved. He reached out and stroked the little apprentice's hair. It felt like he was touching a small animal.

The appraisers and apprentices arrived at their jobs one after another.

Among them is Ms. Hei Sha.

She still comes to work... What is her identity...?
As usual, when Truman greeted Ms. Hei Sha with a smile, his palms were a little sweaty.

This is an extraordinary person.

Why hide your identity as an appraiser in a shipping company?
"Mr. Truman, good morning." Ms. Heisha also greeted Truman in a rare way, "What do you think about the work that arrived in the Central District last night?"

"It's very dangerous." Truman's mind was spinning quickly, but his expression was calm and sad, "It made me lose a good friend of mine. I plan to go and see Abu tonight. Maybe there is still hope of recovery." .”

"Impossible." Heisha shook her head, "His 'share' has been emptied."

"How do you know?" Truman frowned, and expressed a little anger, "His wife may not agree with your point of view."

'Share' is growing...

Truman realizes that his 'share' is growing...

How terrifying is this one in front of me.

Just acting in front of her, the 'share' started to increase?

"Sorry~" Hei Sha apologized, but she didn't sound sincere, "I'm interested in taking on this appraisal job, maybe you'd like to form a team with me?"

Assemble a yarn!Truman thought while feeling the cold sweat dripping down his back.

……

after get off work.

Truman knocked on the door of Abu's house.

Abu's family lives in the western Sauron district, which is close to the central district. Most of the residents are wealthy handicraftsmen and small businessmen. Since most of the residents know each other, the security is relatively good.

Abu can own a residence here, which proves that he has received a lot of remuneration from the shipping company.

His wife's name is Qin, and his three children are named Jacob, Suri and Fonda respectively. As for the surname, Abu has not decided yet.

Now, looking at Abu sitting on the chair and laughing in a daze, Truman couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

The strange pollution that Abu experienced didn't change much on Abu's body, he just looked thinner, as if the pollution had swallowed part of his flesh and blood.

More serious trauma, as Hei Sha said, his 'share' seemed to be emptied, and he sat there with an innocent smile on his face.

Qin thanked Truman while wiping her tears, and said that Abu often mentioned Truman, saying that Truman had wisdom and was a kind person.

Truman was even more sad.

At this time, Abu suddenly murmured something.

Truman was thinking about whether Abu could be saved or not. Hearing him speak at this moment, he was refreshed and hurriedly leaned closer to listen.

I heard Abu say: "...activate the pollution on the stele...spread...bring him here..."

This is obviously not talking to Truman.Seeing the blankness in Abu's eyes, Truman turned to Qin and asked, "What is he talking about?"

"I don't know either." Qin shook her head, "He just keeps chanting some words, which I don't understand."

"...Heisha...dangerous...very dangerous..." Abu continued to mutter, "She is...a criminal..."

Truman looked at Abu, his expression slightly moved.

……

After rejecting Qin's invitation to stay for a meal, Truman was on his way home.

The steps are actually a little brisk.

Yes.

He proved it.

Abu is still conscious.

He's just pretending to be an appraiser who has lost all his 'share'.

Don't forget, Truman is an 'actor', he can see that Abu has self-awareness and is sending him a message.

Qin is also lying, and those unconscious micro-expressions prove that the husband and wife are colluding.

Probably because the information was too important to be an idiot and get disposed of by the Habsburgs, so Abramovich had to.

According to Abu's information, activating the pollution on the monument is to attract a certain existence, and then... Heisha is actually a criminal?
If the black yarn is a criminal, it can explain why she wrapped herself tightly and airtightly.

But what kind of criminal?

With her identity as a Heisha Extraordinary and her revealed abilities, she can be called a criminal, and she needs to cover up her true face to avoid being hunted down. This proves that the things she committed must not be small.

And Abu said that the black yarn and the housekeeper deliberately spread the pollution to attract a certain existence.

"Attract a certain existence...?"

Truman suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He looked up at the moon in the sky.

A full moon hung in the sky, like a bright silver plate.

"The principle of uniqueness exists in the spiritual script."

This line of words flashed through Truman's mind, and then he frowned tightly.

……

Pound is reporting to the bishop.

The Central Cathedral of Lundin is located at the end of the King's Road.

It is large enough to accommodate thousands of people to pray here.

Every believer's prayer is guided and answered by the bishop himself.

The bishop takes pleasure in these tasks far more than in the mundane affairs of the world.

Therefore, the bishop seldom responded to Pound's report, and let the red gloves do their own thing.

Pound's report today is about the case of a polluted person named 'Anton'. Following the bishop's prompt, Red Gloves is currently monitoring the apprentice named Truman, hoping to obtain clues about Anton.

Because of this, Red Gloves noticed a woman whose whole body was wrapped in black veil.

When this woman was mentioned, the bishop suddenly glanced at Pound.

The bishop is blind. Looking at it, Pound looked at him and felt that the bishop's eyes were empty and contained everything.

"A woman covered in black veil?" the Bishop repeated.

"That's right, after Truman mentioned her, I paid special attention to her, but I couldn't detect the difference in her." Pound said.

In general, it is difficult to tell the difference between the extraordinary and the ordinary.

But there are also some Extraordinary sequences who are very sensitive to this, such as the Transcendent Sorcerer Sequence, Detective Sequence, and the higher-ranked Soul Refiner Sequence and Prophet Sequence.

The bishop was lost in thought.

"My lord, do you know such a Extraordinary?" Pound asked.

"No, I just thought of one incident." The bishop said, "The plague incident that happened in Wade City."

"Are you talking about the 'Mother of Plague' who caused thousands of people to suffer from deadly diseases in order to refine potions? A terrifying 'legend'. The image of the Mother of Plague is easy to recognize, she is covered with tattoos... ...Huh?" Pound was surprised.
