Our family is in decline

Chapter 652 Weird spying

“Because she was not doing it for money or any other reason at all, but simply to challenge Hamlet’s police.

She failed, but the reason would inspire imitation, and professional thieves would view Hamlet as a challenge or competition.

We can win many times, but as long as we fail once, the price is that our previous successes will become useless and will instead become a stepping stone for the other party.

What's more, even if we catch those people in the end, what's the use?

We simply cannot sentence them to death in a public environment for stealing these things. If they are imprisoned, they will occupy precious prison resources and have to spend money to support them.

If they are allowed to go to labor camps, you have also seen the strength of these guys. Those prison guards are no match for them.

For them, these chains only require a piece of iron wire or a piece of iron to open, and high walls are meaningless to them.

We can't waste resources on these guys. I feel disgusted even if they die here, so this matter should be handled in a low-key manner and cannot be made public. "

This is a very abstract explanation, and the reason is naturally that reality is more abstract.

With a person like Audrey, there will naturally be more. Lance doesn't want those lunatics to choose Hamlet as their target.

"Can't we just kill her?"

"Why is this world so chaotic? It's because there are no rules." Lance shook his head in denial, "The reason why the law is the law lies in the word "fairness". They are not the only ones who are restricted, we are also restricted. That’s why it deserves everyone’s awe.”

Lance feels that human governance is too abstract, because humans are not quantifiable, and those who want to engage in human governance should come to this desperate world to experience it.

The truest portrayal of human rule is - I can do whatever the hell I want!

Those nobles could do whatever they wanted, which directly caused great chaos. Killing ordinary people by those guys was no different from killing a chicken.

You even have to pay for killing a chicken, and you have to thank the master for killing someone.

The moral level of this world has to be guaranteed by religion. You can imagine how far it has gone.

Lance hates this chaotic and disorderly social environment. If human beings want to develop, they must have a stable environment to complete accumulation, and he can play with mobile phones early.

Of course, having said that, Lance actually doesn’t trust the rule of law very much, because complete rule of law is directly quantified and can easily be exploited.

The troublemakers in the casinos were just testing the waters, and in the end they were dealt with by other means.

Lance is still very pragmatic. In this case, the rule of law takes priority and the rule of man is supplemented.

To put it simply, the things that can be said must be based on evidence, and some things just need not be made public, so that he can gain a lot of room for maneuver.

Don't tell him any nonsense, he is a feudal lord born for exploitation, not a fucking saint.

What else could they say?

Although both Disma and Laura tend to kill them directly, which is the easiest, the lord will do whatever they say.

Amanda had no objection to this, and she even wanted to be whipped a few more times.

Nervous, I was frightened by what this madman did, and thought it was Roma who did it.

Naturally, William also agreed, because stealing things is really not a death penalty. The lord's words also made him think, don't make a fuss...

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, go back and rest. You have worked hard today."

Lance gave a soothing signal to let them go. Disma and William left without much nonsense, but Amanda and Laura had no intention of leaving in a hurry.

"What's wrong?" Lance looked at the two of them and couldn't help but smile and joke, "Who comes first?"

Amanda naturally wanted to stay and be alone with Lance, but Laura's silence made her a little helpless.

In this regard, she could only take the initiative to speak first, and what she talked about was about the path of the tomb robbers, because when it came to extraordinary power, she had not mentioned much before when she was in the investigation team.

And now that she is saying it, it is what she should do as a consultant, which shows that she is not looking for an excuse to stay, but that she really has something to do.

You don't have the strength to be a tomb robber these days?

Let’s not talk about the suppression of the tomb robber profession in the real environment. Even if you go to the tomb, how can you withstand those traps and curses without any strength?

Among the powers Audrey had shown in battles before, apart from her strength and agility far beyond ordinary people, she also knew how to prepare poisonous needles and arrange flash daggers...

These are nothing, she also knows the ability of shadow escape, which uses the power of shadow, and being able to activate the gold-touching talisman is enough to show that she has embarked on the extraordinary path of tomb robber.

Other methods may be related to the tomb, but were not demonstrated at the time.

"Those tomb robbers like to light these candles because the power above can obscure the prying eyes of other powers. Maybe the Alhazred scholar can, but my divination results were affected. In the end, I still relied on Figs' sense of smell to identify the prisoner. .”

Amanda picked up the special candle and once again talked about how it was made and where it came from, but added more details.

The church has been arresting those tomb thieves, and the clue is naturally the tombs they have harmed.

In the face of extraordinary power, clues can be found even if there are no clues, so in order to protect themselves, of course those tomb robbers have corresponding means to eliminate their own traces and isolate themselves from prying eyes.

Lance also remembered something about this. He remembered that there would also be these specially made blood-colored candles at the Ascension Sect's ceremony.

Speaking of this Amanda is not surprising.

"This is a sacrilegious ritual. In fact, many of them are similar. If the surrounding spirituality is polluted, no one will dare to explore it rashly. If the surrounding area is cleared, the traces will be removed together. It is similar. principle."

There are many places worthy of in-depth study here, but it is a pity that Laura just stayed aside, leaving Amanda a little speechless, and she could only give up after a few simple words.

"Do you need my help to send this guy to a nursing home?" Amanda pushed Audrey with her foot before leaving, as if she were choosing a piglet, her attitude was unabashedly aggressive.

"No, I have to go to the nursing home later, so let's leave it alone for now."

Lance's casual words also didn't mean to treat her as a human being.

When Hamlet came to cause trouble, Lance was merciful if he didn't shoot her.

When Amanda saw this, she turned around and left, but took one last look at Laura, with doubts in her eyes.

No wonder she was curious. After all, this matter is over. What else do you need to report?

But she wasn't stupid enough to eavesdrop outside the door. Sometimes being too curious could kill someone, so Amanda suppressed her curiosity and left directly.

Lance was also very curious, but he remained calm and even joked quite relaxedly, "Amanda was so curious just now that she almost asked directly, but you could still hold back and didn't say anything."

Laura was not a glib person, so she told the story directly about how she went to the hotel and felt something peeping at her.

"I was alone in the room at the time. I searched several times and found nothing in it. I also checked the walls, doors and windows, and there was no damage."

"You mean that peeking is not from reality, but from a powerful transcendent being observing from another level."

Lance probably understood what she meant. The spying from the void meant that there were experts watching their actions.

Because ordinary extraordinary people, especially those who use equipment to increase their power, do not have that kind of means. Only spell casters with particularly outstanding inspirational talents and masters can do it.

Of course, it may also be possible to lower the threshold with the help of some special props or strange rituals, such as Roma psychic rituals.

But it’s not easy to do it, and even Laura only notices and reacts when she is alone.

What is certain now is that there is still a powerful spellcaster hidden in the town, and being curious about their arrest means that the other party is very concerned about their actions.

Lance could feel Laura's uneasiness. After all, he was a hunter who was used to hiding in the dark to spy on enemies and then waiting to deliver a fatal blow, but he was actually being spied on.

Don't forget Laura's identity. If she is exposed, it will probably lead to the assassination of Count Bastia.

Lance stood up silently and walked to her, raising his hand and gently placing it on her shoulder.

"Here is Hamlet, and you are under my protection."

With just one word, Laura felt her blood surge up inexplicably, and those who were vulnerable to pressure seemed as if they did not exist in the face of this power.

However, Lance paused for a moment and retracted his hand, smiling to comfort her.

"I know what you are worried about, but don't worry, Hamlet has no habit of abandoning his companions, and neither do I."

Even if Laura is really exposed, Lance won't care, but it doesn't matter that he has confidence, he has to pass this confidence on to Laura.

There is no doubt that he succeeded. Laura is not even the slightest bit uneasy now. Judging from her excitement, it is not certain whether she will fall asleep tonight.

"Relax~ You completed the task very well and found some problems that no one else noticed..."

Lance's words seemed to have the power of expression, easily soothing Laura's restless heart, and those words of encouragement also greatly satisfied Laura's heart.

"Go back and rest, it's getting late."

"Um."

Laura leaves, but Lance is lost in thought.

Laura's strength is not bad, she is probably at the top of the elite, ready to hit the master level.

Just now, I was thinking of promoting her to the master level.

However, he noticed something strange inside her body and had to temporarily interrupt.

Regarding those, we can probably guess that they are the predecessors of the eagles and the power brought by the blood of the tribe.

This power makes her stronger than ordinary people, but also has some alienation. If it continues, it will remind Lance of the Wolf Warrior turning into a werewolf.

Will Laura become Birdman?

And could the lycanthropy that suddenly appears in the mountains be related to these?

Sure enough, extraordinary power comes with a price...

Lance didn't dwell too much on those things because there were more important things to deal with.

"Go and see who is so interested in our actions."

There were no more people in the room, so it seemed a little strange that Lance was talking to himself like this.

But he didn't react much, he just picked up Audrey and walked towards the nursing home.

Recently, due to various things in the hospital, as well as the research on the medicine and holy water, the lights of the sanatorium have not been turned off at this time.

Paracelsus and Grendel were still busy among them.

Lance waited for a moment at the unguarded door, and soon the heavy door opened, and Greendale's figure appeared.

"Caught?"

She noticed the person Lance was carrying at first glance and easily guessed what it was.

After all, the only one worthy of the lord's journey was the thief.

"Well, you don't know how abstract this thing is..."

When Lance walked in, he didn't forget to complain to her and briefly described the case, which meant that he didn't reveal Audrey's growth.

To be honest, after listening to this, Greendale suddenly understood a concept called "species diversity" that the lord had told her before.

"Then why do you keep her?"

Greendale has been with Lance for too long, and she can probably figure out his thinking. If it hadn't been useful, this man wouldn't be alive today.

As he spoke, he leaned over and raised his hand to push away the blond hair that covered her face, and couldn't help but smile and tease her.

"She is quite pretty, I think she still has charm~"

"Don't even touch this kind of woman. No matter how many lives you have, you won't be able to die."

Lance was still frightened when he talked about this. There weren't many things that could scare him, but there were a lot of things that could make him feel sick.

Just now I heard Audrey herself talking about how she got her ex-husband's gold coins.

Theft, indulgence, desire for freedom, pursuit of excitement, hedonism...

Basically, there are so many elements that it doesn’t matter how beautiful this thing looks.

The black widow's colorful patterns are designed to attract prey, which they then kill and devour.

What's more, Lance didn't think she was very good-looking, and her figure was so dry that her bones were broken even when she was carrying her.

When Greendale saw that she was being warned by Lance for teasing her, she understood that Lance was not joking, and her smile faded.

"is it so serious?"

"A beast with an empty heart and driven by desires that can never be filled. Some people may like to tame this beast, but the slightest mistake will cause backlash. Anyway, I am not interested in it."

Lance's attitude is very simple: there is no hope and he is waiting to die.

In order to trap this tomb robber with various escape methods, Lance directly chose a luxurious room for her.

The window was only about the size of a fist, and it was reinforced with cross steel bars. You can imagine the strength of the blockade.

There is also a more careful search, stripping off everything except the human body. Hair, mouth and body holes are all checked, and then they are put on simple prison uniforms.

Lance really didn't react at all to this, as if he was playing with a doll in his hands.

Come in and don’t even think about running away!
