"Haha, don't show such an expression, Mr. William. After all, it is the heir of a great god, and we can count it as a victory if we can seriously injure it. In fact, if it and its assistants are not very good at hiding, We can directly call on the righteous gods to descend to resolve this matter."
To deal with creatures with divinity, calling the gods to come to the world is an extremely correct choice. But this kind of thing rarely happened in history, which means that almost all the mortal containers prepared by the Orthodox Church for the gods to descend into the world just lived peacefully in the church until they died.
Of course, only very few people in the church can know the identity of the person who is suitable as a container for the descending of the gods. He/she may be just an ordinary priest/nun, may be a humble member of a combat unit, or may be a powerful diocesan bishop.
The only thing in common is that they all have a devout belief.
Jenkins will not worry about being chosen as a container, because there are records of sages descending who use women as their bodies.
"I have something to ask you."
He finally got down to business, but he was still hesitating. After all, it seems that he is the only one who has the memory repeated once on the 31st, which seems to imply his particularity.
But if it is because of this, it would be inappropriate to hide this matter and wait for the next night to come and make plans.
"Please say."
Miss Bevanna put down her teacup and smiled softly at Jenkins.
"Is such that… "
He looked at the potted flower on the window sill, and decided in his heart to say the even number, and temporarily hide the odd number to wait for the arrival of the next zero. Make sure this happens on a regular basis, not just a one-off event.
"... 7, 8, 9... singular."
"It's like this. This morning, I went to repair my pocket watch. It's in the shop next to the Central Civic Square, do you know?"
Seeing the woman's affirmation, he swallowed and continued: "It's nothing at first, and I don't want to stay outside in such cold weather. But the gear monitoring A-08-1-9990 suddenly produced a huge heat, but only for a moment, just a moment."
He repeatedly emphasized this point because the syringe was hidden in the mechanical arm on the right side of the middle-aged shopkeeper, and it didn't respond at all until he took it out. He emphasized that it was only for a moment, and even if it was later discovered that the gear should not be functioning, it could be explained by the failure of the man's mechanical arm.
Miss Bevanna nodded, motioning for Jenkins to continue.
"That's it, this is definitely not an illusion. Oh, yes, one more thing, there is a clock in that watch shop that also gave me a very strange feeling. You know, I am very sensitive to the perception of spirits. That clock … how to say?"
The guest star actor frowned and made a puzzled expression: "It's like choosing gifts in front of the gate of Vientiane, yes, that's the feeling."
He stood up from the sofa, revealed the book of memories, and opened the first page, which showed the appearance of C-08-2-2218 in Jenkins' memories, [Stopped Clock].
Miss Bevanna's eyes narrowed, her expression was very serious, she knew this gift!
"Are you sure it's this clock that gave you a special feeling?"
She had to confirm this again, because the table clock was of a very common style and could be found in almost any watch shop.
"Yes."
Jenkins was pretty sure he had it briefly, and that was definitely a boon.
"I see."
Miss Bevanna stood up, put the women's coat on the back of the chair, lightly shook the big book she never left, and took out another coat.
"Do you need my help?"
"No no no."
She stretched out a finger and shook it gently: "This matter is likely to involve a wanted criminal with a five-figure bounty, Mr. Williamett, oh, let's call you Jenkins. Jenkins, this kind of thing, or It needs to be handled by a professional. Please protect your own safety, and it is best not to leave the church today... "
Even if she didn't remind, Jenkins had no intention of leaving here. No matter what happened, the church protected by the sage's divine power would be the safest place, and he had made up his mind to spend the night here.
The purpose of disclosing the matter of the owner of the watch shop is to verify whether his memory of "yesterday" is correct, and at the same time to confirm once again whether this matter has anything to do with that clock.
But no matter what it is, as long as "tomorrow" is still the 31st, he will inform the church about the repeated things.
Saying goodbye to Miss Bevanna, the worried Jenkins stood still and sighed, stroked the chocolate that was trying to claw his face, looked around, and was about to go to the Gate of Vientiane.
When using the storage room/library/archive room behind the Vientiane Gate, it is not allowed to bring any living objects. So Jenkins had never brought chocolate in before. It was the same this time, asking the Keeper to take care of his cat, Jenkins explained his purpose, borrowed a pocket watch from him, and then walked into the bronze door with a gap open.
The second floor of the Secret Library is still full of the scent of expensive candles. Jenkins took a deep breath, only to feel that his irritable mood immediately calmed down.
"calm down."
He said this to himself, and stood still for a few seconds before he strode toward the depths of the bookshelf.
Knowing the serial number and the name, the information of C-08-2-2218, [Stopped Clock] was quickly found.
The church has very few records about this [Gift], only a very vague black and white picture and half a page of text introduction on parchment.
[The original origin comes from the founding of the Artisan Church in the 7th era. The main force of the church solved a special time trick event (for specific information, you need to apply to the Holy See for permission to view it). The clock absorbed the blood of a devout believer, the weak divinity and the remaining power of time events, thus forming a [gift]. Function unknown, related to time control, details unknown.
Note: Time control is a very dangerous behavior, and time control requires a disproportionate price.]
"Skillful craftsman, great righteous god..."
Jenkins looked serious, and the formation of [Gift] was indeed related to the gods, which can be gradually confirmed in many incidents.
