Chapter 241 Doubts
"Ding Ding Ding..."
Because Camus stepped on the furniture behind him when he retreated, the kitchen suddenly made a crackling sound. Fiona and Lin, who were searching in other places, ran while talking and came over in the blink of an eye.
"What's going on? When the two ran to the kitchen, they saw Camus leaning against the wall, holding a dripping black lace between his fingers, and a blank note in the other hand. His face was a little pale and his body was a little stiff.
"Look." Seeing the two coming, Camus handed over the note in his hand.
"Nothing?" Fiona took the note, turned it over and over, but there was nothing, so she raised the note to ask Camus, with some doubt in her eyes. She even suspected that Camus was also affected by Xiu Locke, and his behavior was very consistent with the characteristics before the mutation.
"This..." Looking at the blank note in front of him, Camus was stunned and his breathing stopped. He was definitely not dazzled just now. There must be something on the note just now, but he couldn't explain it now, so he could only respond in silence.
"Forget it, did you find anything? "Seeing that Camus didn't speak, Fiona turned to look at Lin and spoke in a low voice.
"No, I even used my soul power to check here, there is nothing strange, if you want to say strange..." Lin turned to look at the piece of black lace in Camus's hand, and spoke faintly.
"The person in the pot is a man. Although his hair is longer, his smell is not like a woman, but a man's breath. I presume he is a man."
Hearing Lin's words, Camus turned his head to look at the pot. The human flesh in the pot had been boiled, because he had just stirred himself into minced meat. I didn't expect Lin to be able to distinguish gender by smell.
"So who is the black lace in Mr. Camus's hand? Although we didn't see the words on the note, there are many ways to make the font disappear, such as "Card Master" and "Magician". Lin spoke in a calm tone, and he thought about it and continued to speak.
"You can try the Gnosis method to find the owner of this black lace."
"Man? Go back, I will send someone to continue the search afterwards." Hearing that it was a man, Fiona spoke quietly. She had made an appointment with Su Lan today, but she didn't expect that the special team would have such a big problem.
"What about the Sun Church?" Lin thought about it and asked. Xiu Locke is not an ordinary church member, but an elite who is trained with emphasis. The Sun Church will definitely hold him accountable.
"What else can I do? I will write the report, and I will also tell them that someone must be sent to replace Xiu Locke." Fiona snorted coldly, and left directly after saying this.
"What should we do now?" Seeing Fiona leave, Ka sniffed. The smell here is very bad. Although he has strong adaptability, he doesn't like this kind of place.
"We can't compare with her. Go back and write a report, issue a wanted notice, and... find the owner of this lace." Lin sighed. People from big families are arrogant. It's true to say so, but is the Sun Church really so easy to perfunctory? As far as he knows, three rituals have died here in just over a month, and countless other extraordinary people have died. Now even the elite Xiu Locke has died. The church will not stop until they send someone to investigate. This seems to be a good thing, but those high-ranking church officials are really annoying.
"Prepare to accept the baptism of light. Although I also hate this method, I have to give an explanation to the church." After thinking about it, Lin still gave Camus a low voice to vaccinate.
"What does the baptism of light mean?" Camus frowned immediately. This kind of thing is fine for ordinary people, but he is one of the candidates of the era. If he is discovered, he will be killed immediately. Even if he is lucky enough to escape, he will run for his life all over the world.
"Ahem... identify whether we are cultists. Of course, it is estimated that only the two of us will accept the identification. Ms. Fiona will not accept the identification." Lin coughed and spoke helplessly.
"I know, is it okay not to identify?" Camus' eyes flashed, and he was sure that there must be something wrong with the identification.
"Sure, find that orderly person as soon as possible. It's getting late, let's go back." Lin said lazily.
"Okay..."
The church bell rang six times in the evening. Camus looked at the report in front of him and picked it up to examine it carefully. It clearly wrote the cause, process, and result of Xiu Locke's mutation. After seeing that there was no problem, Camus put down the paper.
"Dongdong..." With the knock on the door, Sophia came in with a folder. He looked at the two people and walked towards Camus with the information. Camus was stunned and suddenly remembered that he was on duty today, and he should read the file first.
"Mr. Camus, Mr. Lin, here is the list I compiled, which lists some people who have recently come to Caldecott City. This is the portrait you described. Take a look." Sophia said while listing the information in order. The first thing that caught Camus's eyes was a dozen foreign personnel. There were men and women, aliens, and humans on the list. Camus glanced around and spoke in a low voice.
"I'll take the list back to look at it. You can make a backup copy of the list and send it to the local police station so that they can follow secretly." Camus put the list aside and picked up two portraits next to it. One of them was a woman with her back to him. She had long flowing hair and a slim figure. Most of her body was shrouded in darkness. The other was a man wearing a black vest, with an ordinary face and a mustache. He was the man who stopped him from evacuating the crowd.
"Mr. Camus, this man is not a local in Caldecott City, and no one in the crowd knew him at the time. I suspect that this man deliberately stopped you from evacuating the crowd. It's possible that he is also a cultist." Seeing Camus looking at the man's portrait, Sophia began to describe.
"Humph... I really don't know what to say. A group of cultists are operating under our noses. It's ironic." Lin walked over. He looked at the two people in the portrait and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"It is said that you fired the gun, but he still stopped you? Do you think an ordinary person would be so calm when seeing the gun? If I were you, I would have fired the gun at that time." Lin continued to add, he picked up the list and took a look at it, and then handed them to Sophia.
"If you want to try, try it. I don't think a group of cultists will be exposed so easily. Take them down and put them on the wanted list."
"Okay..." Sophia didn't say anything, took the information and left, the room became quiet again, the evening afterglow shone into the windowsill, the golden light made Lin's long blue hair shine, he knocked on the table and spoke calmly.
"Go home, the duty may have to be changed, I will be on duty tomorrow, Mr. Camus will be on duty the day after tomorrow, and Ms. Fiona will be on duty on the last day." After saying this, Lin turned and walked out, he was holding a suitcase in his left hand, and his right hand was in his trouser pocket. He could vaguely see the gauze exposed from the back collar, the evening light stretched his figure long, he walked quietly like a prince in an oil painting, Camus looked at his back quietly, his expression was a little solemn.
"Oil painting?"
Just when Camus thought of the oil painting, he suddenly remembered his own sealed object, the strange picture frame. He had already seen the power of the first-level sealed object. If his own was really a first-level sealed object, it would be like putting a natural disaster next to him. Thinking of this, Camus called Lin who had already opened the door handle.
"Mr. Lin, wait a moment."
"What's wrong?"
"Under what circumstances is a first-level sealed object not dangerous?"
"The true spirit is asleep or disappears. As long as this condition is met, the sealed object is safe. Of course, even if the true spirit of a first-level sealed object is asleep, it still has extremely powerful power." Lin touched it and then spoke.
"Thank you..." Camus hurriedly thanked him. He picked up the hat next to him and prepared to leave.
"Alas... I'm very uneasy." Seeing Camus pick up the hat, Lin sighed inexplicably and then turned and left.
"You are uneasy, and I am even more uneasy." Camus also sighed. In the carriage, he thought of what happened today. Suddenly, the carriage made a crisp collision sound. Camus stumbled and hit the carriage. He opened the curtain and looked over. This is the intersection of Maria Street and Golden Oak Street. There are many people here in the evening. Just now, the carriage hit another carriage. Camus glanced around and immediately found an acquaintance, and this acquaintance has always been in contact with each other.
"Mr. Smith." The curtains of the carriage opposite also opened. Hearing Camus' call, Monty Smith turned his head and looked over. When he saw Camus, he was stunned and then smiled.
"Mr. Camus, are you back?"
"I've been back for a week." Camus jumped out of the carriage and the two shook hands on the side of the road.
"Have a cup of coffee." Smith looked around, pointed to a coffee shop not far away, and smiled.
Camus looked at the sky, thought about it and agreed. He planned to go back to cook, but it would be okay to delay for a while.
The two sat by the window of the cafe, with the sidewalk outside. Because it was peak time, it was also very interesting to sit here and look outside. After a while, the waiter came over with two cups.
"Miss Mondi Anna is okay." Camus took a sip of coffee and spoke in a low voice.
"I'm sorry, my niece has been missing for more than a week." Hearing Anna, Smith's somewhat fat face showed a sad expression, and his tone was very anxious.
"Why didn't you come to find me?" Camus knew that Anna had disappeared a long time ago. He was very curious. When it comes to finding people, who is more professional than him? Why didn't Smith come to find him.
"Anna asked me not to tell you. She told me before she disappeared that if she disappeared one day, she must avoid you, sir. I was wondering why she said that at the time, but now I understand." Smith spoke with a complicated look, and his fingers rubbed anxiously.
"Why?" Camus immediately showed a surprised expression. It seemed that Anna had known that he would disappear, but why didn't she let him find her?
"I don't know either, but I still respect her choice. However, I know she is still alive. Her necklace is a level three seal. There is her blood in the seal. If something happens to her, the seal will be broken." Smith shook his head slightly and continued to give another reason.
"So she just disappeared and was not in danger? What is the name of the seal?" Camus knocked on the table. The answer he predicted was that Anna was most likely kidnapped by the Orderly People, but Smith said that Anna knew she would disappear.
"Starlight Pendant, this seal has no special use. It can sense the life characteristics of the owner. Look." Smith carefully took out the blue pendant. There was a sapphire on the pendant. There were some fluorescent fine sands flowing inside the sapphire. They surrounded a bright red liquid. Because there was no problem, Camus returned the necklace to Smith.
"I hope she is safe. Mr. Smith, I have to go back." Camus spoke softly after looking at the sky outside.
"Okay..." Just as Camus got up, Smith's mouth was hesitant to say something, but he didn't say it. He watched Camus leave.
