Mystery: Days and Nights of Struggle with the Research Society

Chapter 112 Praise for the Goddess of Night
Ikanser nodded solemnly. According to the information given by Arrods, there is very likely to be traces of Feysac forces or even the God of War Church intervening in this matter. No matter what the reason is, the Church must do a good job. get ready.

He turned his head and was about to ask other people's opinions when he saw the picture on the silver mirror suddenly change, and a line of words written in Rune language jumped out quickly:

"Based on the principle of reciprocity, I answered your question and fulfilled your wish, so now it's my turn to ask."

"If you lie to Arrods or deceive Arrods, you will be punished by fate! (；д；)"

The word 'punishment' is made up of a color as red as blood, but what is more conspicuous than this word is the expression similar to crying that follows this sentence.

Seeing this sentence, the expression on Ikonse's face was distorted at first, and then became extremely strange.

What is Arrods doing?And when did it switch to Rune language?I have never seen such a strange mirror. Ikonser looked at the mirror in his hand and couldn't help but swallowed. His expression was fixed on the tragic look as if he was about to die heroically in the next moment.

Although he has been persecuted by this mirror for too long and has long been accustomed to Arrods' various tricks, this is the first time he sees this evil mirror showing such an expression. Is this an expression?So he is probably going to die completely today.

Su Ya was watching the show on the side, and when he saw the expression specially printed on the small mirror, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Why did Arrods still use kaomoji emoticons?Is this self-taught? But I always feel that the sentence "this little mirror" has some meaning.

In the eyes of everyone, the water on the silver mirror flashed, and a new line of words appeared, also in Rune language.

"Do you think that if you promise something to others, you will definitely do it and you can't deny it?"

Ikanser was already prepared for social death, but he was surprised to see that Arrodes not only did not ask him the questions that could cause his social death as before, but he asked him so gently. A very simple question.

"Of course, I think honesty and trustworthiness are good qualities." Ikanser did not hesitate for a moment, but nodded extremely quickly, for fear that if he was slower, Arrods would change the question.

But Arrods seemed not to hear his answer. The surface of the silver mirror flickered, but it was still fixed on the line of blood-colored Rune text without any change.

There is indeed something wrong with Arrods today. Is there something wrong?Ikonser scratched his hair in confusion, then tentatively picked up the small mirror and shook it.

However, the next moment, the silver-white mirror flashed, and a silver-white lightning appeared out of thin air, hitting his head unceremoniously.

Zizizzi, Ikonser's hair stood up straight, and his body fell down with a bang. A little black smoke came out, but the mirror did not fall to the ground with him, but floated up on its own, suspended in the sky. on the desktop.

It turns out that this is how Deacon Ikanser got his afro.

Su Ya almost laughed out loud. He looked around and found that everyone seemed to be stunned by this sudden accident. Even several members of the Heart of Machinery stood there blankly, watching all this without saying anything. I didn't know how to react for a long time.

So he shook his head, took half a step forward, and reached out to help up the still trembling Ikonse.Seeing him waving his hands to himself forcefully, shaking and panting while sitting on the chair, Su Ya's eyes turned to the floating small mirror with a strange look.

Arrodes was floating quietly on the table. The line of blood-colored text seemed to be fixed on the mirror. It was still displayed motionless in front of everyone, but there was a QAQ expression behind the line. Look. Looking up actually makes people feel aggrieved by this small mirror.

Arrodes couldn't have asked me what he said?Did it just hear what I was thinking?So in order to send it to Klein as soon as I promised, it took the initiative to help me hide Adil's matter?
Su Ya guessed speechlessly.

However, the next moment, the small mirror seemed to know what he was thinking. The suspended body shook and fell on the table. There were more than a dozen lines of bloody 'QAQ' on the mirror! ! ! ', and made a strong effort to face the mirror in the direction of him and Ikanser.

"Susulya, that's what you called me, don't worry, I'm fine." Ikanser seemed to have finally recovered from the lightning strike just now, and looked up at the only person who reacted and helped him. The man forced out a smile and said:
"You should have heard about what Sealed Artifacts are, and you should also know that they all have certain negative effects. This was just a side effect of Arrods." As he spoke, his face became a little dark, " It’s just that we’ve never been treated like this after answering its questions correctly. Am I actually a liar and don’t know it?”

Deacon Ikonse was a little doubtful about his soliloquy in life, and Suya looked at him with sympathy.

This poor Mr. Deacon has probably been played by Arrods a lot, but he would rather doubt himself than suspecting that it was Arrods' problem. It's really miserable.
Suya retracted his hand silently and walked back to Captain Al. When passing by Arrods, he quietly nodded to Arrods when no one else was paying attention, and added in his heart , 'Don't worry, I will try my best to persuade your future owner to take you away as soon as possible. '

And finally getting the answer he wanted, the text on Arrods' mirror slowly faded and disappeared, replaced by a cute cat face expression, and the scene of fireworks suddenly appeared on the mirror, which completely reflected the only thing he wanted at this moment. Small mirror inner happiness.

"It seems like I should give Arrods to the Archbishop for a checkup when I get back." Ikanser, who finally came out of his self-doubt, had already gone through all the lies he had told in the first half of his life and made sure that he was not A habitual liar, he breathed a sigh of relief and took Arrods into his hands again.

Seeing that he still maintained his fluffy, stubborn, and messy afro, Su Ya couldn't help but admire Deacon Ikanser's strong character.

Not everyone can continue to pick it up as if nothing had happened after being persecuted like this by Arrods.

Deacon Ikanser, although not that straight, is a real man.

"Cough" Sesima also reacted at this time. He coughed lightly to cover up the embarrassment that he had been shocked just now. He calmly moved away to look at Ikanser's too obvious hair and continued to mention it. The topic just now was about how to deal with the demigod who was suspected to be from Fusac.Seeing that there seemed to be no place for him here, Su Ya looked at the small mirror that was still showing off fireworks and seemed particularly excited. He turned around and followed Al Hassan, who had a mission for a while, and left. Simon, who seemed to be particularly curious about Arrodes, served tea and water to the guests present.

"What a miraculous ability. The Church of Steam actually has such a useful sealed object." Al Hassan sighed as he walked out of the room. He smacked his lips and seemed a little envious, "If there is someone similar to Arrods in the church, If it’s a sealed object, then it will be much easier for us to do the mission.”

In his opinion, Arrodes, who can obtain enemy information by simply answering a question, is a perfect sealed artifact, which is very exciting.

"Captain." Su Ya hesitated.

The reason why you are so envious of the Church of Steam now is because you still don’t know what kind of character Arrods is. Except when facing Klein, that little mirror with a leather roof dares to persecute anyone and ask any questions. from.

"Isn't it just a side effect? ​​There are many extraordinary people in the church who are rich in mystical knowledge." Al Hassan was somewhat disapproving. Besides, even if he answered the question wrong, wouldn't he be struck by lightning?Judging from the appearance of Deacon Ikonser, although he was in a very embarrassed state, he was not seriously injured. For an extraordinary person like him who has been fighting on the front line all year round, a thunderbolt was just a small fight.

"." Suya glanced at his captain with great admiration. Some people actually think that Arrodes' side effects are nothing more than this. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the small mirror did not fully show his devilish nature of persecuting people today.

He shook his head, sent away the somewhat emotional captain, and followed the steps back to the main hall of St. Samuel's Cathedral from the Nighthawks headquarters at the back.

It happened to be the time for daily mass on Saturday morning. As soon as Suya walked into the main hall, he saw the figures of believers walking out of the large prayer hall in twos and threes and walking along the corridor towards the outside of the church.

Only then did he remember one thing - it had been more than a month since he traveled through time, and he had been to St. Samuel's Church so many times, but he had never officially prayed to the goddess here once!This is not what a devout believer of the goddess should do.

Thinking of this, Su Ya couldn't help but feel guilty. He stretched out his hand to sort out the handkerchief in his left pocket, pressed several boxes on the inside of the windbreaker, and then took the handkerchief inlaid with gold and gems that he took when he went out this morning. With his walking stick, he walked through the quiet corridor and entered the large prayer hall under the sunlight piercing the stained glass.

The large prayer hall of St. Samuel's Church is very consistent with the image of this church. It is mainly pure black in color. The interior looks darker, but it has a power that makes people feel peaceful and peaceful involuntarily. The atmosphere Extremely comfortable.

The bishop responsible for preaching today looks relatively unfamiliar, but in fact Suya doesn't know several members of the Church of the Night who are not in the Nighthawk system.

He looked at the altar, casually found a seat in the prayer hall, leaned on his cane, took off his hat, closed his eyes, and began to pray to the goddess sincerely.

In the dim and quiet atmosphere in the large prayer hall, a neat and ethereal chanting sound seemed to ring in Suya's ears:
"The crimson full moon rises and reflects the earth,

Everyone fell into a sweet dream, dreaming of themselves,
Dreaming about parents, wives and children, this is forever..."

As the holy and rhythmic voice echoed layer by layer, Su Ya's mind involuntarily calmed down. At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten all his worries and no longer worried about the various problems in the real world. He felt as if his spiritual body was being washed. , spirituality flows out naturally and soothingly.

The next moment, a quiet darkness seemed to appear before his eyes, and in this darkness, there seemed to be a voice as clear as the collision of clear springs, speaking with a faint smile.

"Amani, you changed this part well, but I like the other part better." The owner of the voice said with a smile.

As he spoke, He softly read another verse:
"The setting sun is about to set, setting low in the crimson color. Looking at the inland in the golden ocean, looking at the palace solidified at dusk, looking at the vast and dim land and hillsides, looking at the land that seems to never change - "

"The watchers in the darkness came and surrounded Him. These resolute people had gentle eyes, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected their dim faces."①
"Is this your prophecy? @%￥#" The answer was another male voice that sounded slightly low but very magnetic. He seemed to be calling the name of the voice in front, but Su Ya couldn't hear it clearly. What's that name?

"I think the other paragraph is more suitable." As he said this, the deep voice read out another original paragraph of the poem:
"Sitting on the seaside, between the sun and the moon; they fell into a sweet dream, dreaming that the motherland was beyond the vast sea, and we did not want to wander anymore." ②
"Wandering!" A gentle voice that sounded like a sigh sounded in Suya's ears, bringing his mind out of this gentle and peaceful darkness and back to the large prayer hall.

At this moment, he felt that his 'Disaster Priest' potion was completely digested.

Did I just see something I shouldn't have seen again?Suya felt the potion being digested, and then he came back to his senses. He recalled what he had just seen. No, it should have been what he heard. Suddenly, he had the urge to go home immediately and contact Ourolius to ask Orochi for a copy of Sequence 5. 'Winner' potions rush the urge to get promoted.

Since he was promoted to Sequence 6, he has seen too many things that he shouldn't have seen due to various unintentional actions. The previous ones were okay. Not long ago, he even saw what was suspected to be the true god of the 'God of Steam and Machinery'. The picture I saw today
Suya couldn't help but have a headache when she remembered the name in the first voice: 'Amani' - Amanisis, that is the real name of the goddess of the night!

It allows my potion to be digested directly and completely. What on earth did I just see?And that darkness, could it be that the goddess of the night helped me block the picture to prevent me from accidentally looking directly at the true God and losing control in the church?
Thinking of this, Su Ya lowered his head, closed his eyes, and did not get up immediately. He raised his hands, crossed them on his chest, sighed softly in his heart, and whispered with unprecedented gratitude and sincerity. road:
"Praise be to you, great goddess of the night."

"The only destination is peace!"
