v2 Chapter 117: Black Face (17/27)

At 5 p.m. Horn Shelley came in from outside the police department office with a faxed briefing in hand. WWW.SUIMENG.lā

Donald took the initiative to greet him.

"Captain, I applied to leave early. I'm going to customize a mechanical mask. Stephanie will show me the way."

Donald briefly explained his thoughts. The previous fox mask was used many times, and it was destroyed by him after the last transaction in the near future. It was considered to be dead.

"Okay, there shouldn't be anything today. I just have something for you. Your application for an expedition to the sea has been approved. This is the time and island information, which was just faxed from the Discord Bureau."

Put the briefing paper in Donald's hand, and then let the door open.

"The briefing did not expect a ship to go out to sea so soon."

In fact, it's not too early. It's been nearly a week since Donald's application, and Demingham's overseas activities are at the hottest time.

He turned around and greeted Stephanie and Lilo, and left the police station.

"Going to sea the day after tomorrow?"

Stephanie stood by and looked at the briefing in Donald's hand. The paragraph above was not long, only a few pieces of information.

"To be exact, it's 9:00 a.m. the day after tomorrow. It's a bit early. The mixed fruit I want is one of the specialties on this island. It's finally here, but this island doesn't seem to be easy."

Looking at the content of the island in the briefing, it is said that it is a briefing, and naturally there will be no detailed introduction.

Illusory Island is an island discovered at the beginning of this year. Although it has been explored for nearly a year, the fleets of various major companies, government fleets and those small fleets have gone to a lot, but they have not been able to completely. to explore the island clearly.

The briefing only said that there are many strange beasts on the island, and the terrain is changeable, and then there is no more.

"There must be many strange beasts on these overseas islands. The terrain is changeable? Does it mean the variety of terrain or the change of terrain in the literal sense?"

Stephanie was also a little puzzled after reading the content of the briefing.

"There should be a lot of investigators going on the ship of the Alien Investigation Bureau. Just wait until you get on the ship and ask those who have been there before. You go to the mechanical mask shop and wait for me. I have to meet a friend. , you help me choose some good-looking mask styles first, and I'll choose them later."

These days I have been running around for Anthony's affairs. Delia hasn't visited for a while. She will go to sea the day after tomorrow, and she has to prepare some supplies for landing on the island tomorrow, so Donald thought of going today while he is free. , tell Delia first what you know.

"Okay, you should remember the place, right?"

"Well, I'll definitely find it."

Taking Lilo and Finger to visit Delia, she was preparing dinner at home, and Donald suddenly came to her door at this time, which caught her by surprise.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to eat, I just want to tell you some information, and then leave."

Standing outside the kitchen, Donald looked at Delia, who was wearing an apron around his waist and holding a half-peeled potato in his hand, and said with a smile.

"You may not believe it. I really hope someone can have dinner with me. It's boring to be alone during this time."

He put the potatoes in the bamboo basket next to him, took off his apron and hung it on the chair behind him and continued,

"Go upstairs and talk, it's not convenient here."

"Staying alone, didn't you go back to the Arboretum? Or is it because you don't have any guests in your work."

"My current status doesn't allow me to go back often. Occasionally, I have to go back late at night for urgent matters. For fear of being discovered, sometimes I will think that it might be easier if I died with my companions."

Living as a dead person is really not a good experience.

"It's better to live than anything else. According to your current thinking, didn't I hurt you when I saved you?"

Donald deliberately laughed a few words to liven up the atmosphere. After saying this, Delia's face became better before continuing.

"In the past, I was busy with various things every day, but now I have more personal time for magic practice, even if it is a vacation."

People are always like this. When they are resting, they do everything possible to make themselves busy, and when they are busy, they always complain that they do not have enough time to rest.

It is a contradiction.

Fortunately, Delia, who has experienced life and death, is not the type of person who likes to complain about others. After entering the psychological consultation room, she quickly adjusted her emotions.

Back to that shrewd and capable witch.

"Do you know the Holy Maidens?"

As soon as Donald sat down, he said his intentions straight to the point.

The mark on the back of the maid Gerald Parker that he had seen at Tate Manor made Donald still fresh in his memory. Occasionally, he would go through some books on heraldry in the villa library when he had spare time these days.

Apparently there are no scary tattoos in these books written by ordinary people.

"Uh what?"

Delia, who was checking the ink level in the pen, looked at Donald suspiciously.

"If you look like this, then you probably haven't heard of the Holy Maiden Society. That's it."

Donald chose a part of what he encountered in Tate Manor to tell Delia, and the focus was still on the creepy human tattoo.

"Although I want to know more about what you did in Tate Manor, it should be a good thing to think about it, after all, it is such a dirty family, as for this skull tattoo wearing a veil and hugging a child, I really don't know the source. , but I have seen some books stored in the Arboretum library by some literary sects, and this type of tattoo can never come from an orthodox force, and it can even be said that it should not be a tattoo of a normal person!"

Delia knew that Donald didn't want to discuss too much about the Tate family. In view of the current situation, she also cooperated not to ask questions, but focused on the tattoo.

The pen in his hand quickly drew a drawing similar to what Donald said on the note, and then raised it towards Donald.

"You may not know if you haven't been exposed to this knowledge. Let me explain to you. First of all, the outer covering is not the tulle you mentioned, but a piece of clothing, not a simple layer of clothing. Its image is often It appears on the murals and sculptures of major orthodox sects. Although the external decorations and hangings of the sacrificial clothes of different sects are different, they are all of this type in style, so this represents religious culture to some extent. "

With a pen, he made a line on the outside of his shirt and wrote the word religion.

"The skeleton means death, you should know that, but according to your description, the skeleton's eyes are burning with blood-colored flames. If I guess correctly, this is an imitation of a high-level undead depicting a blood-colored ghost, Vengeance, synonymous with resentment!"

"A baby means a new birth. Combined with the blood-colored resentment above, it means that a new life is born out of resentment and revenge. This is what I understand. I can assure you that normal people will never get this kind of tattoo. The woman you mentioned must belong to a special religion. The Holy Maiden you mentioned seems that I have to go back to the Arboretum. I have never heard of this sect, and it suddenly appeared. The means of controlling the Tate family is probably another wolf.”

Speaking of which, even Delia herself frowned unknowingly.

A cult hidden in the shadows.

Its harm is immeasurable!

"Donald, it's true that Arboretum chose you to join the Discord Bureau. If such important information is confirmed to be true, you should be able to gain considerable merit."

"Haha, thanks for the compliment, I'm going to sea the day after tomorrow. When I get back, I hope I can get feedback on this information from you. That's all I have to say. I have something else to do later. I'll go first?"

They got up and straightened their clothes, and shared the information by themselves. The extent to which the tree garden can find out depends on their ability.

"Well, go get busy. If I have new information, I will give you a signal."

Xu was finally finding a new job after being free for a long time. Delia was very interested in the information given by Donald, and waved her hand without raising her head. It seemed that she did not intend to send him off.

Donald didn't mind either, and left the psychological counseling center to go to the shop selling mechanical masks.

Because most of the products in this mechanical mask store are provided to aliens, and the store manager is a skilled mechanic, the prices of the things sold are naturally not low.

The income is high, and the facade will definitely not be bad.

This is what Donald thinks.

So when he stood at the entrance of the alley and looked at the stairs going down and the lighted store sign hanging outside—the black face, he really experienced a psychological gap.

The store is actually in a basement.

But when he pushed open the mechanical door outside, the scene inside made him feel a little disappointed and suddenly improved.

I thought it would be a narrow and cramped dark basement, but it turned out to be a large space of nearly 100 square meters with perfect decoration.

Just the two humanoid mechanical puppets at the door attracted Donald's attention~lightnovelpub.net~Donald couldn't use some specific language to describe the beauty that these mechanical puppets brought him, it was like a A sense of advance that spans the era or a special landscape in this era.

Looking at other parts of the store, you can also see a large number of mannequins, most of them wearing various mechanical masks, the owner has thoughtfully matched them with clothes, and Donald even saw a few. The model also held a weapon in his hand, posing some very handsome poses.

"Donald, here."

Stephanie's voice came from the store, Donald took a few quick steps, passed around a few mechanical models, and saw her standing in front of a counter.

Next to her was a strong man and a man with long gray hair and a bowler hat with a very low brim.

"Donald Grant?"

Before Donald could answer, the strong man next to Stephanie spoke first.
