A gaze from a higher dimension

Arianna nodded, her voice calm:

The arrest operation failed.

"The exposed Parliamentarian Begat was nothing more than a controlled Marionette, who died soon after his manipulator escaped."

"The results of the ' Spirit Channeling ' did prove some things, but no clues were found linking it to MI9's human trafficking, the Demoness Sect, or the ' Black Emperor.'"

"Uh, is it because Parliamentarian Begat doesn't know?" Lorry felt a little guilty upon hearing this, and pretended to think hard about his suggestion.

"Possibly." Arianna didn't continue the topic.

"These past two Nighthawks have been trying to track down the manipulators of Parliamentarian Begat, while also negotiating with MI9."

"Currently, there is no evidence to accuse them of illegally purchasing people."

"However, Colonel Vera and his subordinates and Informant, whom you mentioned, have been confirmed not to believe in Evil God. According to an internal investigation by MI9, the Instigator was Colonel Cezanne of MI9, because he had several major conflicts with Colonel Vera before, so he was plotting revenge."

MI9 stated that it is willing to publish a statement in the newspaper to restore the deceased's reputation and to compensate their family with a generous sum of money.

"On the list of dead they provided, there was a name called Lorry."

She paused slightly at this point, then continued:

"You are considered an outsider, and your compensation is only one thousand pounds."

According to MI9, if no family member comes forward to claim the compensation, it will be donated to an orphanage or Poorhouse.

One thousand pounds... Lorry said in a deep voice:

"Donate my pension. As for Colonel Vera..."

He thought of Beyoncé and couldn't help but regret that the two of them hadn't formally entered into a marriage contract, otherwise she could have received the Lieutenant Colonel's pension.

With this money, at least a comfortable life can be guaranteed in the future.

"Let's donate it too."

Lorry sighed and said bitterly:

"As far as I know, Colonel Vera consistently donated money to orphanages and Poorhouse during his lifetime; he grew up under the mercy of the Goddess."

Upon hearing this, Arianna's gaze softened slightly:

The related reports should appear in the newspapers tomorrow, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

"However, MI9's intention is more to cover up the Truth and portray you as heroes who sacrificed yourselves in the fight against evil."

Lorry nodded slightly, offering no comment.

He knew that the church and the Military, or rather the Royal Family, had an equal cooperative relationship, and that achieving the current result was already extremely difficult.

Lorry took a deep breath and asked in a low voice:

Do you know which direction the person controlling Begat escaped in?

"The Southern Continent?"

The Southern Continent is the stronghold of the Rose School.

He guessed that the other person's identity had been exposed and that they were likely seeking refuge here.

Arianna nodded:

"Um."

After saying that, she was about to speak again.

Based on their previous two exchanges, Lorry guessed that this person intended to leave, so he coughed lightly, feeling embarrassed, and spoke first:

"I have something I'd like to ask you."

As he spoke, he returned to his desk, picked up the "Book of Dimensions," and said weakly:

"For the past few days, I've often had the feeling of being watched for no reason. I'd like to ask you to take a look and see if it's a problem with this Sealed Artifact."

Arianna's gaze remained calm as she shook her head.

"No need to look at it, that's the problem."

"This is a manifestation of Altair's belief in the authority of the Evil God; anything that falls into this Pathway, whether Blessed or Sealed Artifact, will come under His gaze."

Lorry, being sensible, didn't ask foolish questions like "Which Evil God is this?" He just suddenly felt a bit of a toothache.

The Beyonder Ability of the "Book of Dimensions" are quite powerful, while its negative effects are minimal.

He had originally planned to take some time to study it carefully and use it as another trump card, but now he felt a bit stuck.

The gaze of Evil God...

Even someone with absolutely no knowledge of Mysticism knows this is not a good thing.

Who knows what terrible things might happen?

I am not one of His Believer!

After a slight hesitation, Lorry brazenly asked:

Can you help me with this?

Although reason told him it was unlikely, what if he agreed?

After all, we are all the most devout Believer of the Goddess.

It's no big deal to just talk.

Besides, I can be considered to have made a contribution by reporting him, right? Putting aside the fact that Parliamentarian Begat is Puppet, he will definitely be able to implicate a whole bunch of accomplices.

Arianna glanced calmly at Lorry:

Negotiating with MI9 is no easy task.

Lorry sighed inwardly, knowing that this meant rejection.

He muttered to himself, "Looks like one of us isn't very devout to our Goddess," before quickly considering what he could offer.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he tentatively said:

"I pledge to donate no less than £20,000 to the church within two weeks for the construction of the Goddess's orphanage and Poorhouse."

Arianna nodded calmly.

"Good.

"Then you can go directly to Saint Samuel Cathedral and give it to Anthony."

After speaking, she waved her hand lightly in the air in front of her, and the cover of the "Book of Dimensions" flashed with a faint light before returning to its original state.

Lorry felt relaxed, no longer feeling like she was being watched.

He quickly thanked him and then asked, following up on what had just been said:

Are you leaving Backlund?

Arianna nodded slightly. "This is the result of negotiations with MI9, and also an agreement between the Three Great Churches and the Royal Family."

After saying that, she glanced at Lorry, seemingly guessing that he had nothing else to say, tapped her chest four times clockwise, and disappeared as if erased by an eraser.

As Lorry watched the abbot leave, he suddenly remembered what had happened.

Under normal circumstances, the Three Great Churches, the Royal Family, and the Military have a certain tacit understanding in this regard, namely that Angel on earth and "0" level Sealed Artifact will not appear in Backlund.

Why should a Sequence 8 like me be thinking about these things... Realizing what was happening, he gave a self-deprecating laugh and slumped onto the table to start writing a letter to the Publishing House.

Thursday morning.

At Isengard Stanton's home in Hillston District.

Kaslana, who is suspected of having ties to MI9, was talking quietly with the gray-haired Detective Isengard when Klein, who got up to pour water, heard the Newsboy knocking on the door and casually took the Newspaper in.

He returned to the table with a few Newspaper, finished the last half of a soft potato pancake, drank a couple of sips of tea, and casually picked up a Newspaper.

Klein's gaze froze slightly as he glanced at the front page headline.

"Recently, our reporter had the privilege of interviewing Lieutenant General Bendit of MI9, and learned that another group of heroes has left us forever."

"They fought on the front lines against evil, always remembering their faith in loyalty to the Kingdom and protection of the people, even at the cost of their lives."

"In my opinion, heroes should not remain unknown; we should remember them forever. Therefore, I specifically requested a list:"

"Colonel Vera, Sergeant Ilait, Corporal Guli... outer circle member Lorry..."
