The Secret Code of Monsters

Chapter 242 Ch.241 Bristol’s Angel Shadow

Board the train from Waterloo platform to Bristol.

The journey takes ten hours.

Fernandez and Roland didn't have much luggage, but Xander dragged two leather suitcases that were eager to hold the bodies.

Fortunately, a lot of travel expenses were paid this time, and they bought the most luxurious carriage, which was spacious enough.

——You don’t have to squeeze in with other people.

The independent carriage is covered with gold and red lion pattern soft carpet, and the wooden walls and ceiling are all softly covered. The raised patterns on the walls are inlaid with thin gold, and there are several popular oil paintings hanging on them. There are thick blue soft curtains on both sides of the window, which can be used when the sun is dazzling.

On the shiny wooden table are various items for men or women, mirrors or lighters, dinner plates or multi-layered pastry plates. In addition to the hidden under-seat storage cabinet for luggage, the entire The carriage looks like it is hollowed out from a huge piece of expensive wood.

‘It’s worth the high ticket price. ’

Fernandez had never boarded the highest-class carriage, and Roland had never ridden on a train - only Xander Kratov skillfully paid coppers at the station and let a few discerning people The man helped her carry the suitcase until they were put in the car.

After unfolding the soft couch, hanging the curtains, and lighting the lamp, Xiandel stretched out and said, "I don't like sitting on iron boxes. It is said that it will shake people's heads."

This ‘supposedly’ comes from the Medical Journal.

The most famous doctor at the moment (now famous on the other hand), Dr. Isaac Brown, once said: The shaking and noise produced by the iron box running on the metal track will destroy the human nervous system and damage the brain in the long run. , destroying the soul and turning people into madmen.

Indeed, as he said, many people riding the train had some problems: they either took off their shirts for no reason and leaned out of the window; or they danced and talked nonsense.

But these strange behaviors returned to normal after getting off the car.

Edward Snow held another view on the "specific mental state" of these people on the train: perhaps the closed nature and crowded and hot environment of the lower class carriages had a certain impact on people's emotions.

Obviously, it's Isaac Brown again.

"But never again."

Mentioning this recently famous doctor, Fernandez looked disdainful: "I think anyone who can be deceived by that scam has little intelligence. He is already the top surgeon, but he can't cut off his greed..."

This shocking scam is abuzz in the city of London. Citizens who have not participated in it discuss it almost every day, saying that if they were themselves, when should they 'leave the scene' in order to use this scam to gain greater profits - but most of them are silent. , are the real participants.

They sneered at this, but were unwilling to really refute each other: 'If you participate, you will know that it is not so easy to quit'——

They thought this would reveal their stupidity.

Of course, there are people who actually make money in it.

Generally speaking, they are small businessmen who are not very wealthy.

These people don’t have big assets and don’t have the creditworthiness to lend out more money—which only allows them to avoid the eventual fireworks.

"The recent 'gold foil case' is related to this group of people. I hope they can escape for a while." There was malice in Fernandez's words.

The trial court is not responsible for this case and doesn’t know many details, but it’s a great pleasure to watch the excitement——

Look at the detectives in the Supervisory Bureau... they are exhausted.

Not only do they have to deal with the 'big men' patiently, extract the few truths from their mouths, but also discern which ones are useful: wait until the clues are pieced together, and then supplement them with the ritualist's prophecy'…

That gang is probably dead of old age.

Fernandez believed that this group of people was not only no longer in London, but had even taken an ocean-going ship to live in other countries.

"A very smart group of liars." Fernandez took out his cigarette, asked Xander, and then lit it with the oil lamp on the table: "Huh... I guess they had already prepared how to deal with the prophecy before ending this scam... Therefore, there must be ritualists among this group of people.”

The so-called prophecy is the power of those who perform rituals on the path of ‘destiny’.

But in fact, these people are not as magical as they sound - they belong to the path of 'non-crown gods'. In addition to the prophecies with complicated conditions and vague answers, it is difficult for these 'fragile' ritualists who cannot bathe in the grand ceremony to participate in frontal battles. .

Just as Fernandez was not willing to let Roland embark on a path without gods, the ritualists of the Road to the Crown God had the same attitude towards these nagging guys.

The ones with low rings look like cockroaches, and the ones with high rings look like mice.

Regardless of the amount of power, they are equally disgusting.

"I have heard of a special kind of strange objects. That is the power that can truly be called 'prophecy' - it is not the crazy words coming from the mouths of these witches and gods."

Fernandez chatted casually for a few words, and then the topic turned to business.

News came from the church in Bristol that angels had been seen at night.

Angel.

As I said before, it is like the vapor spirit of the "craftsman" and the lamp trail of the "meditator".

Angels are summoned objects belonging to those who perform rituals on the path of "saints" - when the sun wakes up in the morning, they wake up together; when the sun goes out at dusk, they sleep together.

Angels can only be summoned during the day and disappear before nightfall.

They do not have frightening power. They serve at the side of the Father of All Things all the year round. Their symbolic significance is greater than its practical significance.

"The problem is that the news said, 'I saw an angel at night'--"

Roland continued, stroking the cigar in his hand.

There are two impossibilities in this:

First, angels will not appear at night.

Second, as a 'summoned creature', it can only move within the ritual cycle-that is, a sunrise and sunset.

It is credible that it appeared for more than five days.

Who would summon an angel for five consecutive days?

The principle objects of the "Saint" Road never flow out. Except for the Holy Cross, it is almost impossible for a wandering "saint" to exist-even if he exists, he can't have the ability to summon an angel.

That's too coincidental, isn't it?

What's more, the angel summoning ritual is not simple.

"They said that they really 'saw it with their own eyes'-saw the angel with their own eyes." Shandel sat opposite Roland, his blue eyes flickering, and his words were not without malice: "The relationship between the Church and the Inquisition has been getting worse and worse recently, isn't it, Captain Devinson."

Fernandez held a cigarette in his mouth and glanced at Shandel.

He knew what she meant.

Regardless of whether the "angel" in this case is real or not, it is a big trouble to be handed over to the Inquisition.

"The ritualists of the local church will cooperate with us."

Fernandez took a deep breath and put out the burnt cigarette in the ashtray.

If it is a summon from other roads, the church will definitely not be able to summon the Inquisition under the current situation.

But the "angel" is different.

This creature with white wings has an absolutely transcendent status in the Holy Cross. It is not only a servant of the Father of All Things, but also the most familiar symbol of the Holy Cross believers, and the symbol that best represents the church besides the cross.

The impact is too great.

When the Supervisory Bureau is busy tracking down the group of scammers (or not), the Inquisition must send someone to solve this matter as soon as possible.
