Mystery: I can change things in books

Chapter 152 Sudden Suspicion

While Audrey was talking about the current situation and discussing the public service system, Chris on the opposite side was also thinking hard about what to say.

You can neither talk nonsense nor reveal your own information, but the information still has some effect...

After much thought, Chris finally decided what he wanted to say.

He cleared his throat, and with a low "wizard" tone, he slowly said:

“There has been an extraordinary battle recently in Tingen.”

Tingen?Extraordinary battle?
Alger and Audrey were both keenly aware of the information about the "Extraordinary Battle", but Klein was even more shocked - could the "Hermit" really live in Tingen?

He can't really be my colleague, can he?

That's strange, why didn't I hear them talk about this extraordinary battle?Is it because I am still a civil servant and my level is not enough?
"Appreciate further details."

Alger asked Klein the question in his mind, and the latter secretly gave "The Hanged Man" a thumbs up.

Facing the curious eyes of Alger and Audrey, Chris glanced at Klein who was sitting at the top, and said slowly:

"There is a secret organization called the 'Witch Sect' hiding in Tingen, trying to summon the evil god they believe in - the original witch."

Summon the evil god...

Everyone took a breath, a little in disbelief.

Alger was amazed at the madness of the secret organization on the mainland, because at sea, whether it was ordinary pirates or the leaders of the pirate regiments such as "Four Kings and Seven Generals", they all had a relatively clear understanding of the concept of "evil gods". Be aware of the dangers involved.

Except for particularly crazy secret organizations like the "Aurora Society", people who often travel on the sea know that offering sacrifices to evil gods is very risky, and summoning evil gods to guide them is almost suicidal - even if they believe in Evil God, but he also cherishes his own life.

The innocent and pure Audrey was even more shocked. She had never suffered any harm since she was a child. She originally thought that the extraordinary world was beautiful, just, and peaceful - extraordinary people helped each other, worked together, promoted social progress, and built a world together. A truly free world without sin.

She didn't expect that some people wanted the evil god to come and destroy the world...

"Such...'phenomenon', are there many such phenomena?"

Audrey looked at Chris, then turned to look at Mister Fool, seeing that the latter didn't respond, she turned her gaze to Chris's face again.

Chris also turned to look at Mr. Fool, then looked into Miss Justice's pure, water-green eyes again, and said slowly:

"countless."

After hearing the answer from "The Hermit", Audrey lowered her eyes, smoothed her hair, and said nothing.

The dreamlike fairy tale world in her heart collapsed little by little in the face of the cold and dark reality.

Chris paused and then said:

"They secretly performed a birth ceremony on the outskirts of Tingen one night not long ago..."

Chris did not say the specific time and place, and also kept the details vague, in case Klein could later find out his information through divination.

"The Mechanical Heart has identified the members of the Witch Cult who led the birth of the original Witch. One of them is named 'Gemma Marian' and lives in the suburbs of Tingen, and the other is named 'Sharon' and lives in the city."

I don't know these two people... Klein thought to himself.

"This birth ceremony was stopped by the members of the Heart of Machinery who arrived in time. Of course, they also paid a heavy price." The heavy price was that I "died".

Chris laughed to himself, trying not to feel so uncomfortable.Every time he recalled that rainy night, he wondered if he could do better and if there was a better choice.

A painful price...

Klein crossed his arms, looking calm and steady on the outside, but his heart was already turbulent.

Captain Dunn said, "We are guardians, and we are also a group of poor people who are always fighting against danger and madness."It seems that danger always accompanies extraordinary people, and they may die if they are not careful...

Chris took a deep breath, and the next sentence was what he wanted to say to Klein:

"Later, a few days ago, when several senior figures in Tingen went to express their condolences at Mrs. Sharon's home, they were killed by a mysterious killer."

Is Tingen so dangerous? !Is there any danger near Daffodil Street?I just moved!
——This was Klein’s first thought.

Seemingly aware of Mr. Fool's concerns, Chris added:
"Mrs. Sharon lives in the East End, Olsner Street."

Huh... It's okay, it's okay.

"Has the murderer been caught yet?"

Audrey asked worriedly.

Chris shook his head and said:

"The person who caused the murder was an Extraordinary. He seems to be an Extraordinary of the 'Assassin' path. The sequence is..."

"Sorry, Mr. Hermit."

Alger interrupted Chris loudly. He glanced at Mr. Fool sitting at the top, then turned back with a solemn expression:
"How did you know this?"

"The Hanged Man" was right to ask, how did he know?
Yes, how did Mr. "Hermit" know?
The three of them looked over together. Chris was stunned for a second, his thoughts changed quickly, and he laughed:
"I've heard it too."

Alger obviously didn't believe Chris's excuse, he got up and bowed to Klein to salute, half turned his body, and said seriously:
"In front of Mr. Fool, I think you should tell the truth. To be honest, I don't believe what you say. I think you live in Tingen, and you are probably a witness to the sacrificial ceremony."

The atmosphere instantly cooled down. Just now, the three of them were humorously sarcasm, calling the ministers "curly-haired baboons". Now Chris has become the target of their vigilance, as if he is a member of a secret organization that believes in evil gods.

"The Fool" still crossed his hands and held his chin in silence. Alger glanced at him, but he was quite worried in his heart - he still didn't know Mr. "The Fool's" position and didn't know which side he supported.

I have reached a deal with "The Hermit". If "The Hermit" is really a bad person, I will definitely not forgive myself...

Audrey also looked at Chris worriedly. She was already thinking about whether she would break the contract.

Chris broke out in a cold sweat, wishing he could slap himself twice: Why should I talk too much, just say a few words about the legend of "Land Abandoned by the Gods" to fool the past, why do I have to talk about Tingen, and make myself a target of public criticism... …

The above mental activity only lasted less than two seconds in Chris's heart. He came back to his senses, first bowed to Mr. Fool and saluted, and then said without any impatience:
"I don't live in Tingen. As you can see from my dress, I am a 'wizard'. I have a very keen intuition about extraordinary events."

"So, you are a member of a secret organization?"

Alger asked.As an intelligence officer of the Storm Lord Church, he really didn't like the secret organization.

"Secret organization?" Chris chuckled, "Of course."
