"Let's go."
The three men didn't want to fight the terrifying and fast-moving opponent. The man who joined the cube door pulled his companion with both hands, one left and one right, and wanted to enter the door frame covered by scorching white steam.
But there was something faster than them. None of the three of them could see clearly where the white halo appeared from, so they followed the man who had rushed up to the third floor and paddled towards them silently.
When touching the three of them, the obvious sound of metal tearing can't help but make people's teeth sore. But even though the subsequent flames engulfed the three of them, the [Sword Dance·Circulation] triggered with a dagger still failed to destroy those special alloys.
But the white sword dance was not a point-to-point attack. Although it only slightly injured the three people, the white sword light directly destroyed the door frame around them.
Jenkins also completely climbed to the third floor at this time. Seeing that the items they escaped were destroyed, he did not continue to attack. Instead, he stamped his feet, causing the wood components under the metal film on the floor to grow, completely damaging the ritual matrix on the ground.
A voice came from downstairs, and the demigods of the church who were trapped in every corner of the mytho probably also understood the nature of the mytho. Jenkins took two quick steps, trying to control the three of them, but after getting closer, he realized that they were all lifeless.
"Suicide? In order to prevent the church from obtaining secrets? It seems that I have never heard of it. Gear craftsmen have this habit of cultivating dead servants."
While thinking about it, he squatted down, wanting to check the specific cause of death. But the sense of crisis that suddenly flashed in his inspiration made him subconsciously turn back.
Boom!
The sound of corpses exploding rang through the sky of half of the city on this relatively peaceful Saturday morning.
(Chocolate is running... )
"I repeat, I really have nothing to do with it."
In the ward on the third floor of the white building in the area behind the courtyard of the Sage Church, Jenkins couldn't help repeating what he had repeated many times. But these words were not spoken to Hathaway who was sitting by the bed peeling apples, nor to Britney who was arranging the bedside vase with a smile on her face, nor to Sigrid who just walked in the door, This sentence is said to my cat.
Although lying sick, the church has allowed him to walk around after inspection because he was not injured at all. But the cat didn't seem to think so, jumping up and down beside Jenkins, as if trying to check if he was missing any parts.
Jenkins had to use two hands to restrain the cat, and then looked at it seriously, reemphasizing that he was really okay.
"To be honest, I was really taken aback when I received the notice at home."
Hathaway said, began to slice the peeled apples, and put them on the plate of the bedside table:
"Both Britney and I were freaked out and thought something had happened to you."
"It's just a small explosion... Sigrid, good afternoon... Chocolate, why do you ignore me when you see an apple?"
Sigrid also walked into the room at this time, and she was relieved when she saw Jenkins "reprimanding" the pet cat with great interest:
"I just came over when I heard about it, how are you?"
"Other than being frightened, I have nothing else to do. It's a pity that the attic was almost blown to pieces, and most of the information was not left intact. The value of solving this incident is not as high as we expected."
"I've heard about this incident, what happened in the end?"
Hathaway made way for Sigrid to sit by the bed. She walked up to Britney with the half apple, tilted her head and whispered something in her ear, the blonde girl covered her mouth and laughed softly.
"It is indeed the Gear Craftsmanship Association. We dug up the bodies of those missing people under the apartment building that exploded, but all the bodies had no heads. This incident was characterized as those cultists collecting people's brains. According to the disappearance The characteristics of the monsters, that is, they are all related to the mechanical manufacturing industry. The church believes that they are performing some kind of ritual, or collecting materials for the production of evil mechanical creations. This can also explain the characteristics of the mythical, why it is not killing people, but has Selective screening of those who come... I originally wanted to release the family of three murdered by myself, but now it seems unnecessary, ruining the ceremony, and their souls will be released."
He picked up an apple slice that Hathaway had already sliced and put it in front of the cat. After sniffing the chocolate, he stretched out his head and snatched the apple slice from Jenkins' hand.
"The church immediately conducted a psychic at the scene, and barely found out that what they collected was brains and brain stems. This was requested by the underground machine, and the mythical lock was also provided by it. The gear craftsman will only help execute it, then The three executors didn't know exactly what it was going to do. But a chief priest of the Gear Artisan Association speculated that perhaps some parts of human beings were needed as materials to manufacture intelligent metal machines."
Hearing this, Sigrid immediately showed a disgusted expression.
In addition to this information, the Church has other important takeaways. The blueprint of the mechanical arm that Jenkins saw and memorized completely can only be regarded as an unimportant part. The important part is the traces left after the explosion of the mechanical door frame that the three were going to use when they escaped.
Even though the explosion wiped out most of the clues, the disorder in space cannot be erased by ordinary explosions. The Church of the Traveler is good at tracking the traces of space movement. According to the special space fluctuations left on the scene and the wreckage of the door frame torn by Jenkins recovered later, the Church of the Traveler said that it is completely impossible to track the other end of the door frame that was once connected. feasible.
This will provide the most effective clues for continuing to track down the Gear Craftsman Association. The church was worried that the other side of the door frame would get the news, so they left one step ahead, so they took action immediately after the explosion.
Jenkins did not continue to participate in the operation because he was an "injured person". He was forced to return to the church for a physical examination. After the examination, it was confirmed that he was not injured in any way and only needed to take a shower and change clothes before the church allowed him to move around at will.
When the girls at home and Sigrid came to see Jenkins, the next step had already begun. Jenkins had no reason to join the operation, so he stayed in the church and waited for the latest news.
Both Hathaway and Sigrid are gifters, and they understand that today's situation is not the most dangerous situation. But Britney is human, and she's very concerned about what happened to Jenkins today.
In the past, he also knew that Jenkins was always facing danger, and knew that when he came into contact with mysterious and extraordinary people, he might encounter accidents at any moment. But the fact that the steam bomb (officially) exploded next to Jenkins, and even brought down a building, was beyond her imagination.
Britney did not persuade Jenkins to stay away from such a dangerous thing, but only expressed her concerns in a very subtle way. Jenkins then comforted her with a hug, which made the other girls in the room, as well as the cat, feel weird.
Jenkins did not pass out after the explosion, but was buried under the collapsed house, and it took some effort to get out by himself. Therefore, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon after arriving at the church for inspection.
Seeing that the next step in the incident does not require his participation, he stayed in the church and prepared to attend the last meeting held here in the afternoon. Seeing that Jenkins was fine, Sigrid left, and Hathaway and Britney also left together.
Instead, Queen Isabella heard about Jenkins' "injury" somehow, and asked Miss Windsor to come and see Jenkins with her greetings and gifts.
Miss Windsor was also a little nervous, but seeing that Jenkins still had the energy to play with his cat, she was reluctantly relieved.
"Speaking of which, tonight, don't you have any guards around you?"
Jenkins asked suddenly before Miss Windsor left.
"Huh? How come? My guards are always by my side."
"No, I mean Miss Magic and Miss Silver Flute."
Jenkins said, Miss Windsor nodded hesitantly:
"Yes, they said they were going to meet up with their friends, and they all asked me for leave temporarily... Is there a problem?"
It's actually because of Mr. Hood's party.
"Well, since they are not by your side, you will temporarily stay at the Church of the Sages tonight. I also have some things to do. After I finish my work, I will send you back to your residence and leave after those two come back."
Miss Windsor nodded, and still asked Jenkins in a hesitant tone:
"Although it is indeed dangerous recently, and our plan has reached the final stage... But is it really necessary? I don't mean to underestimate the danger, but you deliberately proposed to do this, and I have some doubts."
She was right to be suspicious. Jenkins was not worried that Queen Isabella would murder Miss Windsor, he was worried about those cultists. Now the Ice Soul among the Four King Souls is with Dolores. Not only is there Alexia by her side, but also the church has sent three cats to protect the Stuart royal family and prevent the tragedy of Tarquin the Proud. The fully organized team is always guarding the Stuart family.
But Miss Windsor, the host of Dark Soul, besides Jenkins' two friends, there are only ordinary people guarding her. In Jenkins' experience, ordinary people are no match for cultists even if everyone has a gun.
He didn't know if there was a way for the tree house to detect the whereabouts of the dark soul that hadn't yet conceived, but he didn't want to take any risks.
Hearing Miss Windsor's inquiry, Jenkins hesitated for less than a second before deciding to tell her the truth. Hiding this matter from her may lead to unexpected consequences:
"It's really necessary to do this. Now you have a very important thing on you. Everyone wants this thing, and so do the cultists, so you'd better wait until I figure out a way to take it out. They can guarantee the protection of the gifted people around them. The two ladies you hired are very good, and I trust them."
