"I thought the newspapers were all lies, but I didn't expect that the new park is so beautiful and doesn't require a ticket?"
After getting off the carriage, Melissa's eyes immediately widened. He looked at Street Park in front of him and praised him.
It is no longer accurate to say that it is "Street Park". The area of the new park has been expanded by half, occupying the corner of the intersection of Red Moon Street and Zouteland Street. The open space of the house has been included in the scope of the park, and with the addition of expensive artificial landscaping, it has surpassed the park next to Golden Wutong District City Hall Square and become the largest green area in Tingen City.
But even so, the entire park was already crowded with tourists who came to play. At a glance, there were at least several hundred people.
They strolled along the tree-lined avenues and played on the lawn with their children. More people gathered at the podium in the center of the park, which was already surrounded by colorful flags. Councilor Maynard's speech would begin soon.
It is said that a lottery will be held after the speech, and there will be rewards for participating. Many idle tourists have gathered around. They may not be interested in the speech or election, but the lottery can really attract anyone's attention.
"It is said that the prizes in the lottery even include tickets for "Earl Returns" which will be released on Tingen next Sunday. If we can get the tickets, Klein will definitely be very happy."
Melissa has done enough homework for this celebration. At this time, he is holding Angel's hand, squeezing through the noisy crowd and walking towards the center of the park, followed by Benson with a doting smile on his face.
""Earl Returns"? What is that?"
Angel asked curiously.
"That is Backlund's most popular drama this year. Every venue is sold out. Various newspapers often publish reviews about it. Klein has also been looking forward to it for a long time."
Melissa introduced in a low voice, as if she was afraid that others would hear about the popularity of the drama and compete with her for this opportunity.
Is it mentioned often in newspapers? Why haven't I seen it yet...
Angel blinked, feeling a little ashamed of his poor information channels.
The three of them walked through the tree-lined walkway and approached the podium. On the other side of the stone platform, the crowd was even more noisy, as if a big shot was coming to the scene.
Not long after, Councilor Maynard, who was dressed as if he was going to attend Royal Ball, walked up to the podium. His short blond hair was meticulously taken care of and a perfect smile appeared on his face.
Under his condescending gaze, the noisy citizens around him gradually became quiet.
"Tingen citizens, good morning everyone..."
Without wasting time, the councilman who aspired to be mayor began his speech. In this era without loudspeakers, he could make a loud voice that was loud enough for everyone to hear clearly when surrounded by hundreds of people. It must be said that Maynard's basic skills were very solid.
"It's just that the speech was too formal. I could even guess what he was going to say next, such as 'improve the level of public education and increase medical security'..."
Benson turned sideways and whispered to Angel.
"... improve the level of public education and increase medical security..."
His voice was very small and was easily overshadowed by the speech of Maynard on the stage.
"This makes me more confident about the public examinations held by the government next year."
Benson, who had correctly guessed the content of the speech, continued with a smile on his face, but it instantly changed into the expression of Affliction Distortion - his waist was poked heavily by Melissa's finger.
"If you think it's just a formality, don't listen. Please help me see if Klein is here. He promised to come at 9:30, but it's almost 10 o'clock now."
After hearing the instructions given by his sister, Benson quickly straightened his back, stood on tiptoes, and looked across the crowd around him, looking for traces of Klein.
Angel on the side also looked around, but she was not looking for Klein, but subconsciously felt something was wrong. The crowd around her was getting bigger and bigger, and her emotions were aroused by the congressman who was speaking. If any accident occurred, it might lead to a stampede or even more serious problems.
She opened Spirit Vision and scanned the surrounding crowd, but did not find any abnormality that was different from the surrounding environment.
She reached out and pressed her thigh under her skirt. The gun holster tied to her leg gave her a sense of security. Seeing that Melissa seemed to be leaving her and Benson, and went to the open space to look for Klein, Angel quickly grabbed him.
"Stay close to me and don't get separated..."
Before she finished speaking, her eyes became illusory, and a thick gray mist surged up, instantly surrounding her.
"An evil ritual that is absorbing the entire Tingen City's internal resentment. Is this the 'bomb' that Lanevus calls it?"
Dunn sat behind the desk, holding his temples with both hands, frowning, and asked Klein in front of him.
The captain's face looks much better than a few days ago. He should have come out of Old Neil's out-of-control self-blame...
Klein looked at his captain and felt a little relieved, and then answered:
"Yes, this is the conclusion that Leonard and I came to together. I think we should send a telegram to Holy Cathedral for help and ask them to send an occult expert to assist us and find this 'bomb' as soon as possible."
"Didn't you try to confirm it with divination first? This is not like your usual style."
Dunn's calm tone was like thunder exploding in Klein's mind.
Yes, I am 'Seer'... I used to be. Why didn't you use divination to confirm it immediately when you encountered this kind of thing?
Klein was stunned for a moment, and then felt that there was no further delay. He sat down on the chair next to him and prepared to enter the Dream Invasion environment to divine the specific location of the "bomb".
Wait, you should use Pendulum Divination, at least confirm the safety of divination. The last time you looked directly at "Eternal Blazing Sun" is a lesson... I am too impatient, is it because of the fear of the unknown, or because...
Dunn looked curiously at Klein who sat down and then stood up. When he saw him rolling up the sleeve of his left wrist, untying his gold chain, and putting down the amethyst pendant, he asked abruptly:
"She gave this to you?"
"Huh?" Klein was stunned by the captain's question, "Yes... Captain, I'm going to start divination."
After signaling the other person to be quiet with his eyes, he silently recited the divination words and half-closed his eyes to meditate.
"Lanevus's bomb will cause harm to me."
He did not perform divination with the bomb as the target, such as "whether the bomb will explode." Instead, he used himself as the object of divination. This way, he obtained the most accurate results.
And if this "bomb" can cause harm to him at the Nighthawks station, then I'm afraid "it can destroy the city" is not an empty statement.
After reciting it seven times, Klein opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Dunn's serious face and wide eyes. Then he lowered his head and looked at the pendant.
Amethyst was turning crazily clockwise at a speed that was almost difficult to see with the naked eye, and the gold chain even swayed slightly with his left hand.
"It's very harmful!"
No need for Klein to explain, Dunn has already understood the result of divination.
He directly opened the drawer, took out the telegraph book, and lifted the cloth on the table Telegraph Machine.
"I will send a telegram to Holy Cathedral immediately, asking them to send experts." Dunn turned on the power of Telegraph Machine with one hand and flipped the telegram book with the other hand, "Let Leonard goes to find Royale and asks her what she found at Police Station. You go find Angel and tell her that the vacation is cancelled."
"...Understood."
Klein took a deep breath, nodded, turned and walked out of the office.
Listening to the "tap-tap-tap" sound coming from behind, he walked slowly through the corridor, came to the partition of the reception hall, stood still, took out his pocket watch, opened the cover and took a look.
9:35, already past the agreed time...
Now Angel should be in Street Park with Melissa and Benson. I had to go there in person and call her back.
Klein You can imagine the disappointment in your sister's eyes after hearing the news.
Sighing secretly, he was about to pass through the partition and call Leonard to summon other teammates, when the latter's shocked voice came to his ears:
"Megose Miss?"
Megose...Megose!
Klein thought of this name. It was the pregnant fiancée who was abandoned by Lanevus.
Why is it that just when we were about to investigate the "bomb" left by Lanevus, his fiancée came to our door?
Feeling something was wrong, he walked out of the partition in three steps and saw the door being pushed open. A blond lady in her early twenties was entering the reception hall.
"I happened to pass by here and remembered that Mr. Seer, who helped me when I was looking for Lanevus last time, works here, so I wanted to come up and have a look."
Megose replied with a smile. She was wearing a loose skirt, and her temperament was melancholy and calm. Even if Klein had Angel as a comparison, she still felt that the other party was a rare beauty.
But the most eye-catching thing is her bulging belly. That is Lanevus's child, which he left behind...
Lanevus stayed?
As if being poured down from the head by a basin of ice water, Klein was excited, raised his teeth slightly, and was about to open Spirit Vision for observation.
But the loosened jaw could not be closed no matter what. It was a strong warning from his own Spirituality, forcing him to open his jaw, unable to grit his teeth to open the Spirit Vision, and even made his whole body stiff and afraid to move.
"You can't look at it... you'll die if you see it!"
Strong thoughts seemed to explode in his ears. Klein, who stood like a sculpture, twisted his stiff neck and looked at Leonard in the reception hall. The other party was also looking over with a cold sweat on his face, his lips were pale and his eyes were full of fear.
The only person present who was unaware was Miss Rozanne. When she saw a pregnant woman arriving, she quickly walked out from behind the reception desk, helped Megose sit on the sofa, and handed her a glass of hot water.
"No, don't get close to her..."
Klein almost blurted out, but did not dare to make any sound.
Yes, I dare not.
He recalled what Lanevus's letter said about the "bomb that keeps getting stronger."
Recall the "hotbed of birth of evil gods" seen in Roselle's Diary.
Recalling that I tried to open Spirit Vision several times to observe this pregnant woman, but was blocked by Spirituality unconsciously.
"Unseeable God"...
In the belly of Megose, the "bomb" left by Lanevus...
It is the evil god who is about to be born.
