The newspaper specially included a picture from the scene of the murder. It was a shattered window, and the glass shards and debris in the room were scattered all over the place. It can be seen that the room is decorated like a study. In front of the desk in the upper left corner of the black and white photo, a bloody hand is suddenly stretched out, and the position of the corpse is marked with chalk around the hand.
This is the most interesting news in today's newspapers, because the author of the report is ridiculing Parcival's extremely bad law and order in every line, but he didn't expect Nolan's situation to be no better.
Probably because Jenkins left bed early, and Chocolate woke up early today. It walked down the stairs slowly, jumped from the penultimate step to the carpet, then jumped onto the chair, and jumped to the milk pot on the table.
"Meow~"
Such a cry was a greeting to Jenkins.
Generally speaking, the breakfast of nobles and big businessmen in this era is very rich, including but not limited to boiled lobster, meatballs, cold cuts, mince pies, bacon, etc. what to decide. This sounds exaggerated, but it is true, and there are even news of being stuffed for breakfast every year. It is believed that a rich breakfast keeps the eater energized for the day and gives him energy until the next meal.
This is also one of the main causes of obesity and complications.
As for the middle class, that is, people like Jenkins, breakfast will be relatively simple, but it will definitely not be easy to deal with. But a single man has to prepare breakfast by himself, and he is not a person who likes to cook, so he just makes a living to deal with it.
Speaking of which, now the flame of the gift candle can be freely controlled outside the range of the candle core, and it is perfect for frying eggs. This also saves some gas bills.
Because of the deal with Miss Magic, Jenkins is determined to live a hard life in order to reawaken his good character of miserliness.
"The price of eggs has gone up again."
With some distress, he picked out one with his right hand, tapped it lightly on the side of the bowl, and then pinched it hard to let the egg white and egg white fall into the bowl. After stirring with the chopsticks drawn half a month ago, pour boiling water into it, and the breakfast is basically completed.
He also needs to heat the slices of bread with a flame. White bread made of refined grains is not cheap, but Jenkins really can't stand black bread, which can kill mice when it is hard.
After dinner, Jenkins didn't plan to go out for the time being, but took out the letter from Mr. W to Mr. Clark that he got from the log cabin yesterday. Although I don't know what these two people do, but the dialogue between the lines can tell that they should also be cultists or something.
Randomly flipped through the materials and letters that I didn't search for yesterday, and picked up an envelope that was once sealed with red sealing wax. The pattern on the sealing wax is a ring-shaped cross engraved on the upper part.
"Encore cross?"
This is a commonly used mystical symbol representing eternal life and resurrection. It is very similar to a certain Egyptian script in the previous life, but it is only a coincidence.
He turned out the letter in the envelope, and the first address at the beginning almost made him spit out the milk in his mouth:
Mr. Clark.
"Mr. Clark again? Wait, does this surname sound familiar?"
Touching the chocolate on the side, Jenkins only felt that there is no chance in this world, only necessity.
The owner of this letter did not sign it, but from the content of the letter, it can be known that the place where the letter was written should not be Nolan's locality, and the person who wrote the letter was a follower of the [Lord of Immortality].
Rubbing the surface of the letter with my hand, the ephedra paper is quite rough. The writer of the letter was quite cautious, so apart from the identity seen by Jenkins, he did not reveal any valid information. It was just repeatedly mentioning the proprietary word "undead", which even made Jenkins suspect that it was related to the ability on the burned letter found in New Truman City.
"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"
He saw "Mr. Clark" at the beginning of the letter in a blink of an eye, and felt that it might be such a coincidence.
He found quite a lot of these materials, and after reading them all, it was already around ten o'clock in the morning. The dinner plate in front of Jenkins was not cleared away, and even the remaining half glass of milk was completely cold.
The Mr. Clark seen in the first letter turned out to be the history teacher at Newman Williams School who liked to read newspapers to the coachman. This can be read from the follow-up letters, and the [Children of the Mist] project mentioned in the note written on the method of countering A-11-02-3219 seems to be related to the worker riots that occurred the night the twin demons appeared.
According to the information, Mr. C, that is, Mr. Clark, as a member of a large organization, was responsible for instigating workers' riots. After the plan failed, he decisively chose to give up his current identity and flee. The occupant of the wooden house, the victim of A-11-02-3219 before Jenkins, was also a member of that organization. Like Clark, he gave up his previous identity after the failure of the riot and fled to the woodland temporarily. Live and keep some important letters and materials, and then die in an accident.
The [Son of the Mist] plan should be to launch a large-scale ceremony with the help of the smoke that enveloped the city. However, neither the purpose nor the method of the ceremony was specifically mentioned, it is only known that this plan will be carried out again, but the time has not been determined.
The dead Mr. W's real name was Alan Wesley, and he was involved in two operations at the same time. One is the Son of the Mist related to Mister Clark, and the other is the Undead related to the first letter. Mr. Clark, who has disappeared, is now mainly targeting the [Son of the Mist Project], and the previous letter seems to need to be forwarded by Wesley, but he has no chance.
In other words, Jenkins didn't know whether Clark knew anything about [Undead].
Jenkins did not find out what these two actions were in the end. Although Wesley was confident that no one but Clark would be able to find his relics, out of the caution of the cultists, he still destroyed the most important part of the data. The most important clues Jenkins could get were the two small bottles he found in the corner where the materials were buried. Each bottle contained the solution of the ashes of illegal long-lived people. As long as the ** is evaporated to dryness, the resulting powder is the ashes of illegal longevity.
In a short, scribbled note, the unidentified person asked Wesley to keep these two materials carefully, and declared very rudely:
These things are bigger than your life!
PS: I took a look at the word count statistics in the background, and I have updated a total of more than 150,000 words this month. I am really diligent. Tomorrow is the next month, so ask for everything in advance of the beginning of the month.
Another: In the middle of next month, that is, in the middle of December, I will offer another reward. Recently, I have been busy with my graduation thesis opening report, and I have eaten a lot of manuscripts.
