Invincible priest, out of the courtroom

As always, most of them are advertisements and leaflets, as well as a few pairs of pink envelopes sprayed with perfume and lipstick, which are full of small pieces of paper with various addresses written on them.

As usual, Rorschach put away all these and kept them in reserve. When the weather got cold, they would stuff them into the fireplace and use them as firewood.

But he looked through it carefully again, and found that there was a serious official letter sandwiched among the pile of 'firewood'?

Although it was still packaged in a pink envelope, the seal was covered with the sealant of 'Investigate Nine Sections'. If Rorschach hadn't been careful, they would have been stuffed into the 'firewood pile'.

He opened it up and saw that it was sent back by Deltina again.

The above first expressed their longing for Rorschach, then paid tribute to the goddess, and finally mentioned the serious business—she unexpectedly found new clues in the previous grave digging case?

She sent a letter to invite Luo Xia to meet near the old street in Shangcheng District early tomorrow morning to continue this unfinished case.

"Old Street? It's in that kind of place?"

Looking at the place name, Luo Xia couldn't help scratching his head.

Old Street is not a single street, but an area composed of three blocks, named 'Old Street'.

Luo Xia not only heard about this place in the "Unbelievable" column, but also heard many people mention and talk about it. It is a well-known urban legend in the city.

Although it is located in the upper city, there is no water, electricity, or traffic, and no one lives there. It is even marked as a mosaic on the map.

Luo Xia hasn't been there in person, so he doesn't know what it looks like, and other people and radio programs have described it there in various ways.

Some people say that it has been cursed by evil gods, and those who enter will go mad and become monsters.

Some people also say that there is a dead city with no one there, which was caused by a terrible supernatural event.

Some people also said that there was only a piece of ruins there, only ruined walls and bones scattered all over the place. It was the remnants of the battlefield after the fierce battle broke out between the two sides when the Holy See of the Northland invaded the city of the oracle.

What's even more outrageous is that some people say that it is the lair of various secret agencies, where various unknown and dirty activities are going on...

In short, it is quite a legendary place.

"You really should go and have a look. No matter what it is, a no-man's land like this is usually a breeding ground for evil. Maybe there is a dark and evil force lurking inside..."

"Shouldn't you just ignore the sects in the city? Let this kind of place exist?"

Luo Xia whispered to himself, shook his head involuntarily, and said with emotion:

"The city...is sick..."

So it was like this, the next day Rorschach ordered Nota and the little milk cat to guard the church, and he called the girl in red to go out.

After about a few minutes, he came to the park in the middle of the street where Deltina asked.

She seems to like to choose a place like a park for meeting?

Today's Deltina didn't dress up too much, she was still dressed professionally in a uniform, black silk and high heels. When she saw Rorschach appearing, she smiled sweetly and walked over quickly.

It's just that in that smile, there is a bit more exhaustion and tiredness that can't be hidden.

She's going crazy working overtime these days...

I don't know how much the Jiuke thinks highly of her. Anyway, the big and small cases are either handed over to her or taken with her.

She felt as if she was living a life like a mule and horse kneeling, but her income and qualifications were rising rapidly. It took only such a short time to join the Ninth Division, and she became an elite backbone of the Ninth Division, with a beautiful resume. It's unnatural.

This not only made the colleagues around her criticize, wondering whether she had won the favor of a certain important person because of her beauty.

Deltina didn't even have the strength and time to explain these gossip...

Undertaker: Chapter 137 135. You will accompany me, right?

Luo Xia also saw that Deltina's condition was not very good at a glance, and asked the first sentence when they met:

"Believer Deltina, you seem to be in a bad state? Then remember to come to the church more often. The glory and grace of the goddess can cheer you up again!"

Deltina showed a wry smile, and said helplessly:

"If I had time to come to the church, it wouldn't be like this... Also! Didn't you promise me before that you don't need to be called so formally? Just call me Tina."

Rorschach smiled and nodded.

"Okay, believer Tina."

Deltina: "..."

But no matter what, she was very happy to see her future boyfriend, and she looked a little better, so she said:

"These days, Luo Xia, how are you doing? Did you miss me...about our case?"

She originally wanted to ask Rorschach if he missed her.

But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say anything...

A 'girlfriend' like myself who can't even make time for a date is not qualified to say such a thing.

But Luo Xia replied truthfully:

"no!"

"I have also encountered a lot of things during this time, and I don't have time to think about those messy things."

As a result, as soon as the words came out, Deltina actually showed an aggrieved look, as if she was about to cry to herself?

This made Rorschach also baffled, scratching his head in a daze, and asked:

"Eh? Disciple Tina, did I say something wrong?"

"As a pastor, I'm really not very good at investigating cases. Look at the grave-digging case last time, it ended up like that..."

After hearing this, Deltina quickly shook her head and explained:

"No, it's not that, it's just..."

"Forget it, let's talk about the case."

Although what she said was "Did you think about the case", what was still on her mind was "Did you think about me?" In the end, Luo Xia said "No", which made her a little bit off guard.

This is probably some kind of duplicity, right?

Fortunately, Deltina's endurance is still very strong. After all, she is an executor who has survived for a year and a half. She has always been very tough in her heart, so she quickly put aside the inexplicable random thoughts in her head and talked about the business.

She first talked about the antecedents of the case:

"In the last grave-digging case, a secret society disguised as a circus was eliminated by accident. Although the higher-ups also gave affirmation and awards, I still did not give up and continued to collect clues."

"After all, it's the first time for the two of us...well...I mean the first official cooperation, so don't get it wrong!"

"Hmm... It doesn't count from the previous one, it was interrupted by that annoying nun..."

This opening remark made Rorschach want to complain.

The 'disgusting esoteric nun' you're talking about is about to move to Avia Church...

As for Deltina, as if by magic, she took out a huge notebook from her waist.

This is obviously some kind of space storage bag, and it can be seen that she is indeed highly appreciated and valued by the above, and even such high-level equipment is allotted.

She flipped through the densely written notes and continued to talk about the progress behind:

"Afterwards, I entrusted the police to help collect evidence, but they accidentally found this in the trash can at the cemetery..."

As she spoke, she turned the notebook to one page, revealing a pair of plastic evidence bags with a piece of iron inside.

"It's a very, very old trademark, older than you and me. It's an absolute antique."

As Deltina said, she handed the evidence bag to Rorschach and asked him to take a closer look.

Only then did Luo Xia barely see the blurred handwriting on it. Is this actually a tube of paint?

It was just completely, thoroughly squeezed dry, and crushed into a thin piece of iron.

The surface is even more rusty, as if it has been scoured by time for a long time, so that some words left on it have become completely blurred and cannot be recognized at all.

Only at the opening, a bright red color can be vaguely seen, with a little bit of luster, like fresh paint that has just been squeezed out.

Looking at it, Luo Xia couldn't help frowning.

Deltina asked from the side:

"You also think something is wrong, right? I checked a lot of information, and I also consulted art professionals. They said that this thing is very abnormal, and even said that it shouldn't exist at all..."

"This is a tube of paint with a history of more than 200 years! It is the first batch of paint made in this way of storage. It should be placed in the museum instead of being squeezed into iron sheets and thrown into the trash can."

"And you should also know that the era and society in 200 years are not what they are today. At that time, there was no such thing as the chemical industry, and the pigments were made in a more natural and primitive way, so the shelf life was very short. It won't be long..."

"But look at the red patch at the opening, it looks like it's just been opened."

After listening to Deltina's explanation, Luo Xia's mind suddenly jumped, as if reminding him of something.

But it wasn't dangerous, but rather something very important.

So it was difficult for him to take the initiative to ask:

"Is this the kind of paint used in the graffiti on the coffin in the grave digging case?"

Deltina nodded seriously.

"Those graffitied coffins were cut off by the police and sent for appraisal as evidence. According to the judgment of some experts in the antique industry, the paint used on them is indeed not the current paint. There are great differences in details such as brightness and saturation. the difference."

"Afterwards, they suggested to me that I can come to the old street to look for it. If there is any other place in the city where I can find this kind of ancient paint, apart from the paintings in the museum, the only place is 'Old Street'."

"But you should have heard of 'Old Street', right? It is praised by many people as the most dangerous place in the city, so if you want to go in, I can only trouble you."

After Deltina finished speaking, she smiled obediently at Rorschach, blinked her rose gold eyes, and asked like a baby:

"Rorschach, you will accompany me and protect me, right?"

Rorschach nodded solemnly.

This matter certainly cannot be shirked.

On the one hand, Deltina is currently the only follower of the Avia Sect.

On the other hand, he also really wanted to know what was in that old street, and whether there were any dark and evil forces hiding in it.

What's more, there was that inexplicable flash of inspiration before.

"Hee hee, I knew Rorschach was the best!"

Deltina simply became happy.

I feel as happy as my boyfriend promised to buy me a bag.

The Undertaker: Chapter 138 136. Scientific, Efficient, and Reasonable Response Process

Because the roads near the old street were completely blocked and closed to traffic at all, Rorschach and Deltina could only walk there.

Even though the street park where the two agreed to meet is already a long time away, it still takes more than an hour to walk...

And the closer to that direction, the fewer people and buildings, and in the end there is only a wasteland overgrown with weeds, and there are no roads.

It was hard to believe that this place was still within the boundaries of the upper city, and Rorschach even thought he had already left the outer city.

And in the waist-high weeds, you can still vaguely see the original streets and the ruins of those completely demolished buildings.

It's already like this before you really enter the old street. It's really hard to imagine what it will be like in the depths?

Thanks to the fact that the city of oracle is really majestic, it was able to circle such a large no-man's land in the upper city.

The two could only trudge slowly in this barren land. Fortunately, Luo Xia Tian exercised every day, and his body was as strong as a cow, so it was nothing to walk around.

Of course Deltina was fine, although she was still wearing high heels, but being able to be alone with Rorschach like this was already a rare and precious time.

But Rorschach didn't want to talk about anything else at all, and didn't notice the various inconveniences that Deltina caused because of the high heels, and was still discussing seriously:

"What is there in this old street?"

"According to the information I have read, there is actually nothing inside, just an abandoned residential area. It is not as scary as the rumors in the market, but there may still be some unknown dangers hidden, such as wild animals. Animals?"

"The government didn't list it as a restricted area, but it's just that citizens are not advised to go in, but in fact, people often go there, exploring, looking for inspiration or something..."

"Many painters and writers have tried to go in, and finally came back safely, and then exaggerated the desolation and horror inside. After a long time, many people imagined it as a dangerous restricted area, and then spread more and more... ..."

"In addition, the traffic here is extremely inconvenient, so naturally not many people will come here, and the rumors about this will become more and more chaotic."

Deltina first introduced the background of the old street in a serious manner, and then suddenly revealed a pitiful look, and asked softly:

"Ugh... Luo Xia, I'm a bit late, can you take a break?"

Luo Xia was not in a hurry, so he nodded.
