Chapter 201 Desire Apostle
While Stuart raised his gun to aim, Klein, who had been on guard for a long time, had already noticed that he fell forward almost indiscriminately with the opponent's movements, and threw himself on the ground.
boom!
Stuart, who was obviously out of control, pulled the trigger, and the bullet grazed a private detective's side face, hit the wall, and got in.
After a while, the rest of the detectives pulled out their revolvers in response. It seemed that everyone was an enemy, and the scene was chaotic.
Among them, Stuart and a private detective had flushed faces, protruding veins, and "flames" of fear and anger burning in their eyes, as if they had become so-called demons.
At this moment, Kaslana let out a low growl:
"stop!"
Her voice was not loud, but she was full of majesty, which made everyone present tremble and wanted to obey unconsciously.
The scene was quiet for a short while, but everyone's mood didn't seem to improve substantially. Klein had already rolled to another direction and stood up, holding his own revolver in his hand.
His thoughts turned sharply, he didn't care about hiding his secrets, and planned to rely on the ability of hallucinations to calm down several visitors.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Jingle!
Several private detectives suddenly turned smart, and their eyes became clearer.
The light doorbell sounded like a basin of cold water pouring over their heads.
Stuart looked at the revolver in his hand, and murmured blankly:
"What was I doing just now..."
The official Extraordinary made a move? Klein heaved a sigh of relief, held the revolver, and approached the gate.
As soon as he held the handle, the appearance of the person outside the door naturally appeared in his mind.
It was Isengard Stanton with gray temples, a thin face, wearing a deer cap and a black coat.
The big detective's face was a little pale, and his left arm was raised up near his shoulder.
He is fine! Klein was overjoyed at first, but then became cautious - he still remembered the incident where "Master Puppet" Rosago turned into a familiar policeman to swindle the door.
Klein pressed his finger tightly on the trigger, opened the door, and took two steps back.
Isengard Stanton smiled and nodded to him:
"Thank you for your visit this afternoon, otherwise I might not be able to continue playing hide-and-seek with that demon because I was injured.
"You saved my life."
This... Could it be that the correct interpretation of "it is appropriate to visit Isengard Stanton" is that going to him this afternoon can help him out of danger? What about the "suitable to visit" in the next few days? Stagger the murder scene and not be suspected? Klein was a little dumbfounded for a moment.
He got out of the way without letting down his vigilance:
"What happened?"
"Let's talk later." Essinger suddenly lowered his voice and laughed, "Do you want to discuss Extraordinary-related topics in front of Stuart and the others?"
So you just mentioned Extraordinary to me so naturally? Also, I was able to stand in a stalemate with the owner of the demon dog for more than ten minutes, which is enough to show that I am not an ordinary person... And I also provided advice on intentionally pointing at demonized animals... Klein quietly lagged behind Ai Singer Stanton two steps.
Seeing this great detective, Kaslana and her assistant Lydia breathed a sigh of relief, and Stuart and other private detectives also showed expressions of relief.
"Mr. Stanton, are you all right?" they asked one after another.
Essinger moved his left arm slightly and said:
"A little hurt, but not too serious.
"Okay, everyone, don't be nervous, the matter will pass soon, the police are waiting for that guy in the darkness nearby."
"Is it because of the serial murder?"
"Is the suspect locked?"
"Will he harm innocent people?"
...
The private detectives scrambled to ask.
Essinger pressed his right palm down and said:
"Don't worry, I will tell you the truth in detail, but before that, I need to ask Sherlock and Kaslana about a few questions. Let's go to the living room for a few minutes first."
His long-accumulated prestige made the detectives sit down without any objection.
Although they are still not at ease, they no longer have the problem of being restless and losing control of their emotions at any time.
After entering the living room and closing the wooden door, Klein glanced at the airtight room, and suddenly thought of one thing:
This environment is perfect for "biotoxin vial" type items!
Cough... Klein cleared his throat, walked to the opposite side, and opened the glass window.
He still didn't relax his guard against Isengard Stanton, and he didn't even think that Kaslana was absolutely trustworthy.
Essinger looked around, took Klein's easy chair directly, and then said with a chuckle:
"I'm getting older, but I still like to sit like this."
Klein sat on the single sofa and asked again:
"Mr. Stanton, what happened?"
Essinger glanced at Kaslana behind the coffee table and said:
"We are all Extraordinary, so I won't explain common sense concepts."
"Extraordinary?" Kaslana first looked at Klein, then at Isinger, a little surprised but not too surprised.
It turns out that you are also an Extraordinary... Why was it that you were stumped by a weak ghost at the beginning, and you didn't even see the problem... Well, maybe it's because you are not good at dealing with the sequence of ghosts and wraiths... Klein responded met Kaslana's gaze.
Essinger smiled and said:
"I went to Lunburg to study abroad for four years, where I came into contact with the extraordinary world and became a believer in the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.
"After returning to Backlund, I gradually established a good relationship with the military, the Church of the Goddess of the Night, and the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, but I still dare not reveal my identity, because the Punisher will definitely treat me as an evil The believers are cleared. In this matter, other official organizations will not directly help me, because it is equivalent to fighting the Church of the Lord of Storms.
"As expected of a tyrant's church."
"Tyrant?" Klein asked casually.
Essinger took out his pipe, but only sniffed the tobacco:
"This is the name of the Lord of Storms within our church.
"Okay, let me go back to today's matter first. The person who attacked me and sent you a threatening letter is the owner of the murderer in the previous serial murder case. Hehe, you should know that the murderer is a 'demon' sequence Black Dog, especially Sherlock, you were the first to point out that demons could be animals."
Klein smiled, neither denying nor admitting. Kaslana also just clasped her hands together without saying anything.
Essinger suddenly shook his head and laughed:
"Don't worry, I'm not a law enforcer. As a believer in the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, I can't preach in Backlund, and I can't formally establish an organization. I can only rely on you and people like you for help."
In other words, can you help us take the blame? Klein joked in his heart.
Seeing that they still did not admit it, Essinger continued:
"The owner of that demon dog is a strong Sequence 5, um, as far as I know, the Sequence 5 of the 'Devil' pathway is called 'Apostle of Desire', which can use and manipulate everyone's emotions and desires to induce them to degenerate.
"When facing the 'Apostle of Desire', you must not have too strong emotional fluctuations, and you must not have too obvious desires, otherwise you will be remotely controlled by him immediately, or plant seeds, or directly catalyze it.
"This will expose many problems, gradually degenerate, or lose control of emotions at critical moments, unable to resist... This is just part of the extraordinary ability of the 'Apostle of Desire'. I confirmed this aspect in the battle with him."
Hearing this, Klein suddenly understood one reason why the other party sent the threatening letter and made provocative actions:
He wanted to irritate himself and cause his emotions to fluctuate violently, so as to achieve the purpose of planting the seeds of depravity or catalyzing emotions, causing them to explode out of control!
This will make his subsequent raids light and easy!
Fortunately, I have seen Extraordinary people who have experienced many things. At that time, there was only vigilance and caution... Stuart and the others should have had a more obvious emotional change when they saw the threatening letter, so they were called "Apostle of Desire" planted the seeds...
If they failed to stabilize them in time just now, the scene would become chaotic from the inside, making it too late for the surrounding official Extraordinary to react, leaving enough opportunities for the "Apostle of Desire"...
I felt that time was slow at Isengard Stanton's house before. Is it because the sudden vigilance, tension, alertness and other emotions were amplified?
Klein rejoiced for a while as he recalled the past.
"So it's like this..." Kaslana also seemed to understand a lot of things.
Essinger rubbed his forehead and said:
"I was almost manipulated by him, so I was injured, and then used a magical item to play hide-and-seek with him in the house. It wasn't until Sherlock came to visit that the three parties had a stalemate, and then I got a chance to breathe.
"My poor assistant was looking forward to returning to Lunburg to attend Mass in the New Year."
Having said that, he let out a long sigh.
"When the police came, I took the opportunity to escape, and then I escaped with the help of the river." Essinger added, and then said, "Sherlock, Kaslana, how are you going to deal with it?"
Kaslana was silent for a moment and said:
"Mr. Stanton, what do you suggest?"
Essinger said:
"Accept the official protection first, so that the 'Apostle of Desire' will not dare to act, and hope that he will be caught or killed soon.
"If that idea is not realized, and the government cannot always send people to protect us, then we have only two options. One is to change the identities of ourselves and our family and live in another place with their help, but no one can guarantee the 'Apostle of Desire'" If you can’t find it, the second is to directly join the corresponding official organization and become a peripheral member, which will also change your identity and residence, but it is safer.”
Join the corresponding official organization? Mechanical heart? Or go to places like Lemburg Marsch and join the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom? Then I don't have three surnames, no, three believers? Klein had an inexplicable sense of absurdity.
He asked thoughtfully:
"Is there no other way?"
At the same time, Kaslana's expression didn't change, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Essinger Stanton stroked the pipe and said:
"Yes, that means we join forces to create an opportunity to find and hold the 'Apostle of Desire' as soon as possible.
"Of course, the most perfect result is to kill him directly."
