"I forgot to tell Dolores, I also want to ask her to help me investigate three names."
It was only when I returned to Nolan that I realized that there was still something to do, so I returned to Loen. In just a few minutes, Alexia certainly hadn't fallen asleep. She stood alone in front of the window looking at the night view of the city below the mountain.
"Sheffield, Capello, and Stevie, these three names are suspected to be the apprentices of the old man in the past. I guess if I ask the old man directly, or ask other people in the church, they will not directly tell me who they are , I’d like to ask Dolores to help investigate. Of course, if it’s difficult, don’t take too much effort, it’s not a big deal.”
"No problem, I think Dolores would be happy to help."
She turned to look at Jenkins. "Good night, Jenkins."
"Good night, Alexia."
It was late, and Jenkins rolled out his bed in front of the fireplace to fall asleep. He planned to move back to the bedroom on the second floor if the weather continued to warm up next week.
Now that winter is over, there is no need to use the living room as a bedroom anymore. But in this way, he had to reorganize the rooms on the second floor. After annexing the widow's house next door, he hadn't seriously planned his own house.
The chocolate sleeping cushion has already been spread on the sofa. It probably feels that the house is too hot, and it doesn't like to cover it with a small blanket. Jenkins patted the cat's head lightly. It didn't get up, but shrunk into a small fur ball and gave a soft "meow~" without even opening its eyes.
If that doesn't mean "good night," then it must mean "don't touch me."
"Boom boom boom~"
Get under the quilt to go to sleep, but suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. Jenkins was taken aback. When he came home just now, he had already locked the fence of the yard. Anyone who wanted to come in should ring the bell in front of the fence, otherwise they could just walk in.
"who is it?"
he asked, and walked toward the hall in his slippers. Blinking his eyes and seeing the dazzling golden light, tears were immediately stimulated to flow down. Frowning and wiping his face, he opened the door, only to see an ordinary-looking middle-aged man in front of him, wearing an ugly woolen sweater, with greasy hair.
It was a face Jenkins hadn't seen before, but it wasn't an extraordinary person, and Jenkins knew exactly who it was. This is the projection of a ray of god, the God of Shadow and Stealth, the god who deliberately lost the bet and gave up the priesthood of "Lie" to Jenkins.
"Sorry, it's so late, what are you going to do?"
Since the other party knocked on the door politely, Jenkins would not treat each other with bad words. But he didn't want this god to enter his home either. After all, the incident in the mirror world was suspected to be related to the old liar in front of him.
"I came to visit you very politely."
The god said this, and raised the stone slab he was holding on his body:
"Look, this is a gift for you, the doomsday document I found in the theater outside the city. It's stuck in the gap between shadow and reality, and those mortals haven't found it for a while. I think you will probably need this thing , just took it out. Can I go in? This is not a place for conversation."
"… Can."
Because I didn't expect someone to visit at such a late hour, so I didn't make any special preparations at home. Chocolate fell asleep on the sofa, and Jenkins led the visitors to talk in the restaurant. He didn't seem to care about the poor quality black tea in Jenkins' house.
The doomsday document was casually placed next to the shoe cabinet in the hall by the god, and he really looked like a normal visitor.
"Sorry to bother you so late..."
Jenkins didn't see that the god was sorry.
"This time I'm mainly here to thank you for sealing the [Chaos Pollution Beast] again. To be honest, that smelly thing is indeed a bit tricky."
The god spread his hands and said.
"What exactly do you want to do? Can we get straight to the point, it's too late now."
Jenkins responded with his teacup in his arms. He just heated the kettle with an inextinguishable fire, so the cup was warm and comfortable to hold in his hand.
"When you sealed it, you got a dark stone, right?"
Although he used a questioning tone, the god was affirming this matter.
After hesitating for a while, Jenkins asked the visitor to wait, he got up and went to the basement, and took out the ring from the shoebox. The stone was suspected to be a monster, and Jenkins used the remaining divinity to build a seal, which seemed to work well.
"Yes, that's it."
[God of Shadow and Stealth] nodded, and quickly tapped the table with the index finger of his right hand. Because there is no need for that, he is not in a state of direct descending now, but it does not look much different from the real body.
"I knew this thing would appear, how should I put it... It is difficult to describe what it is in human language, but I think you can also feel its danger. It is... a kind of aggregation of disasters, When the pebbles are activated, conceptual 'catastrophes' are released, causing catastrophes in the physical world. You know what I'm talking about?"
"Pandora's box."
Jenkins concluded in a low voice in his heart, but nodded calmly on the surface.
"It's good to understand. This stone is the product of the condensed power of [Chaos Pollution Beast] itself. It will materialize when it collides with divine power. I also got a piece a long time ago. That time my mortal believers Almost made a big mistake, but fortunately everything can be undone. Divine power can destroy this stone, but it will also release the disaster inside, so the best way to deal with it is to seal it and use the power of time to wear down its power .It's the end of the era, I don't think you will let this thing become a trigger for disaster, right? But you did a good job, I think you are more suitable for the priesthood of "lie" than me. Keep it, Patiently wait for the power of the stone to die completely."
Standing up after speaking, Jenkins quickly asked again:
"So you came to visit me just for this?"
"Of course, after all, you encountered that thing, and it has something to do with the priesthood of [lie]."
The middle-aged man winked at Jenkins, "I don't want you to be implicated when you start the disaster and they define it as an evil god. You know, I have spent a lot of effort in order to change to the lawful camp. "
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Jenkins to react, his body turned into little golden light and disappeared into the air, leaving Jenkins alone at the dining table playing with the ring. The cat, which was peeping on the sofa with its head shrunk and only its eyes exposed, saw the unfathomable expression on the man's face.
