Chapter five hundred and ninety eight troublemakers
The atmosphere on the streets of Panderport suddenly became tense, which was inexplicable. Many local residents did not understand what was going on and seemed very panicked. The originally orderly street order also became chaotic. If
If there weren't military police from the Revolutionary Army patrolling the streets, maybe someone would have started looting by now.
For Leo, the current panic in the city is actually beneficial to him. He can predict that the revolutionary army is likely to impose martial law in the city. Once martial law starts, he will have to use other methods to enter the city.
We have seen that the cultists of the Mother of Black Mountain serve as high-level officials within the Revolutionary Army. It is obvious that the Revolutionary Army is no stranger to extraordinary beings. It is difficult to be sure whether the Revolutionary Army has anything in their hands that can detect the devices used by extraordinary beings to use extraordinary power.
In the information he remembered, both the Orthodox Church and the Underground Church had similar items, and the same was probably true for the Evil God Church.
Because of the chaos, Leo entered the city without much effort, then naturally blended into the crowd on the street and walked towards the Long Palm Street near the pier on the north side of the city.
Although Pander Port is not a large cargo port or a commercial terminal, it is a good summer resort. The cold air coming from the northern ice sea will not spread to the Kingdom of Maris because of the obstruction of the Angar Mountains.
Instead, it went south along the coastline and reached the end of the Angal Mountains south of Pander Port before turning inland.
The original biting cold air flow converged with the hot air flow blowing from the area near Pander Port and the eastern desert of the Saville Kingdom. Eventually, the temperature here became very comfortable, neither very hot nor very cool.
Every year during the hot summer, some of the middle-class people in the Kingdom of Maris who have a little money and time will come to Panderport to explore. Most of these middle-class people will stay in several large hotels on Long Palm Street. As for the rich, they will go directly
Bought a vacation home on Long Palm Street.
The reason why people who come on vacation like to live on Long Palm Street is because this street is right on the seaside and has a very beautiful beach. The sand here is finer and softer than other places, and it radiates even more under the setting sun.
It emits a faint golden light, so it is also called the Golden Beach.
Because of this, the travel guide on the airship also specifically mentioned the golden beaches of Pander Port, and introduced in detail some precautions for travelers, residence guides, etc., which made Leo after arriving at Pander Port
, you can find Long Palm Street directly without any additional digging work.
However, after arriving at Long Palm Street, Leo encountered a problem. This problem was that he could not find No. 137, Long Palm Street.
On Long Palm Street, hotels and shops do not have house numbers. The names of shops and hotels are directly used as house numbers. The only ones with house numbers are those that have built a line of holiday villas along the golden beach. However, the problem is that Leo discovered that Long Palm Street
There is no number 137 in the villa.
Leo originally thought it was because he was not familiar with the geography here that he could not find No. 137, so he found a newsboy on the street who was very familiar with the house number of this street and asked about the house number.
From the newsboy, he learned that the house numbers on Long Palm Street were only 136, not 137.
Leo didn't think that Sylvia deliberately gave a wrong address. He thought that this might be a test for the invitees of the witch group. If No. 137 could not be found, then whether it was the witch or the recipient,
Inviters are not eligible to join.
From the airship before, Leo knew that Pendel Port was not a new port, but a very old port. It was first a fishing village and was later transformed into a port with the support of the local lords. And with the changes in the political situation,
The transformation of Pandel Harbor has never stopped. It was not until Pandel Port was designated as a tourist port that this large-scale urban transformation finally came to an end. The main urban area was also completely finalized at that time.
Since there is no No. 137 on Long Palm Street, there is only one possibility: this house number belongs to a certain building in the past, and now this number has been abolished during a certain urban reconstruction. So if you want to find relevant clues, just
You can only go to the local archives to check the old urban planning files and house number files.
After identifying the target, Leo found the same newsboy and asked him to lead him to the local archives. However, the newsboy provided him with some useful information while leading the way.
"Are you saying that many people have been going to the archives recently?" Leo asked confirmingly.
The newsboy who was leading the way carefully put the traveling fee given by Leo into his pocket and replied: "Yes sir, including you, I have taken four people to the archives. In addition, I have also taken four people to the archives."
Several of my companions have taken people to the archives once or twice recently." As he spoke, he paused, turned to look at Leo, and said, "However, you are among the people I took with me.
The most normal one.”
Leo asked with interest: "Do all the other people who go to the archives look abnormal?"
The newsboy curled his lips and said: "It's not because of their looks. Although their looks are not good-looking, they are still human beings. I have seen guys with weirder looks than them, such as the old Carter from Long Beach Street..."
"It's normal, it's not normal!" Leo noticed that the newsboy was going off topic, so he coughed lightly and reminded.
"Uh!" The newsboy also realized that he had broken the topic, and quickly stopped the verbose words he was about to say, and returned to the topic, saying: "The abnormality of these people is not due to their appearance, but to their eyes, that kind of
Eyes..." As soon as the words began, the newsboy didn't know what words to use to describe him. He hesitated for a moment before squeezing out a sentence and said: "In short, the eyes are very weird, so weird that it makes people shudder."
Leo said it for him: "It's just like the way you look at ants, right?"
"Yes, yes, that's it!" The newsboy nodded repeatedly, and couldn't help but ask: "Have you seen those people?"
Leo didn't answer, just smiled. He might not have seen the people the newsboy mentioned, but he was not unfamiliar with the condescending look in the eyes of advanced life forms when they looked at ordinary people and biochemical people. When the newsboy mentioned
When this happened, he immediately recalled the not-so-good experience in the past.
At this moment, Leo was already sure that the people mentioned by the newsboy should be the assistants who were invited by the witch to attend the party. Like Leo, they also thought that number 137 was the number of the old city.
Want to find clues in the archives.
Thinking of this, Leo asked the newsboy again: "Do you know where those people went after leaving the archives?"
"That's not clear." The newsboy shook his head and said, "Those guys feel very dangerous. No one dares to follow them."
Leo did not continue to ask any more questions, and was soon led to the city's old archives by the newsboy. While Leo handed the rest of the traveling expenses to the newsboy, he also used an improved Witcher sub on the newsboy.
The Kexi Dharma Seal allows the newsboy to forget the content related to him in his memory.
The reason why Leo did this was not because he was worried that the newsboy would reveal his information to other witch party participants, but because he did not want news related to him to appear on the desk of the revolutionary army.
Because after the observation and testing just now, Leo can be sure that this newsboy, or the newsboys in the entire Port of Pendel, even the shoe shiners, coachmen and other low-level people, are the eyes and ears used by the Revolutionary Army to deal with spies.
If the memory of the newsboy is not erased, then some information about his appearance and other information will fall into the hands of the revolutionary army, and as long as he appears in the city in the following days, he will be monitored.
Leo did not enter the archives immediately, because according to common sense, if the revolutionary army knew that several outsiders went to the archives at the same time, they would definitely become suspicious and conduct some searches in the archives. If the reason was not found, they should
The people in the archives will be replaced by people from the revolutionary army to facilitate surveillance.
Leo had no intention of clashing with the Revolutionary Army, nor did he intend to look for clues under the surveillance of others, so when he was outside the archives, he opened his mental net and enveloped the entire archives, accurately
Grasping the location of each archives staff member, and then deducing the blind spots of these people's sightlines when walking, and then walking past the blind spots of these people's sights like an invisible person, entering the archives database, flipping through various
A variety of documents related to urban renewal.
However, Leo soon discovered that he didn't know whether it was the work of the revolutionary army or someone else deliberately causing trouble. All the files on urban reconstruction and house number changes were in chaos. He wanted to find the files he wanted through normal means.
I'm afraid it's a bit difficult and will waste a lot of time.
Therefore, Leo did not intend to use normal means to find these archives. He only turned on his spiritual vision directly, and combined the eye of truth and the power of devouring, and injected it into his spiritual vision. After he did this, this stored
All the paranormal energy reactions that had existed in the archive room were clearly presented in his eyes. Even if some of the energy reactions were extremely subtle, some paranormal energy factors still remained.
This is a method that Leo created on his own when he was familiar with how to use the Devouring Power on the ship, because he found that with the evolution of the Devouring Power, the Devouring Power became particularly sensitive to all kinds of supernormal energy. He even
It is suspected that its sensitivity even exceeds the psychic detection Skynet invented by the Earth Federation specifically to find psykers.
And after this sensitivity to extraordinary energy is combined with the spiritual vision skill of possessing the power of the True Eye, all extraordinary energy reactions in the world cannot escape his eyes. Yesterday, the extraordinary energy fluctuations of Guiwu Lake appeared in his eyes in the form of beams of light.
This is one of the effects after use.
At this moment, although he has found a large amount of supernormal energy factors, the matter is not over. He still needs to find the few clues he wants to find, but this is not difficult, because the archives is not a place where everyone comes.
, so even if there are extraordinary energy factors here, there are not many, and the types are even rarer.
He quickly identified several visitors who had obvious targets for the files from the trends of several extraordinary energy factors, and through the intersection of these people's energy factors, he found more than a dozen files that these people had crossed over.
's files.
Leo clicked out these files and flipped through them quickly. He couldn't help but frown, because these files were the files he wanted to find on city reconstruction and house number changes. But the problem was that none of these files were complete, and there were many in them.
The information has been manually torn down.
"It's a really annoying thing!" Leo couldn't help frowning when he saw the useless file in his hand. He felt a little unhappy, but he didn't feel distressed by it. He only saw that he put the file in his hand.
After putting it down, he continued to capture the paranormal energy factors through his spiritual vision, and then as if there was an extra guide line, he followed these paranormal energy factors out, left the archives, and walked towards the Long Palm Street where he came from.
go.
Although there are still pedestrians on the street at this moment, there are not many pedestrians anymore. Most of the residents here have returned to their artificially safe places early because of the propaganda and warnings of the revolutionary army. Some are at home, and some are in suburban farms, such as Lei
There were very few people like Ou walking on the streets, so he naturally attracted the attention of the Revolutionary Army military police patrolling the streets.
However, when these military police officers came forward to ask about Leo's identity, without exception, they were all stunned by Leo using the witcher's seal, and they let Leo leave without asking any questions.
However, when Leo used the Witcher's Seal to deal with these gendarmes, he did not notice that a symbol hidden in a tattoo on the arms of these gendarmes was slowly fading in color, becoming different from the colors of other tattoos around him.
At the same time, in the secret headquarters of the Revolutionary Army in the suburbs, several Revolutionary Army officers in a special department were discussing something, and among these officers were the two cultists that Leo had seen before.
At this time, one of the officers suddenly sensed something. The expression on his face was startled for a moment, and then he hesitated a little and said: "Another extraordinary person was found. The location is on Heel Street. He should have been to the archives."
Now, should we..."
Someone immediately retorted loudly: "You are crazy! If you want to investigate this matter, those witches themselves are not easy to mess with, and their followers and collaborators are also not easy to deal with. Those guys who died before were the warnings given by them. I
Anyway, you won’t get involved in this matter. You have to get involved yourself and don’t involve us.”
"But the reward from the Bishop..." the cultist officer said with some reluctance.
"Do you think you have the ability to get the reward offered by the Bishop?" The person next to him glanced disdainfully at his greedy colleague and said, "And even if you get the reward offered by the Bishop, do you think
Can you sit firmly in that position? You must know that there are many people staring at that position."
