lowered his head and used a knife and fork to handle the steak, pretending to be very casual and said:

　　 "How's the situation with John lately? I remember, the school's year-end exam is about to start."

　　 "Oh, yes, John, tell your brother about your situation."

　　Mary likes to watch her sons communicate.

　　 "Alright, Madame Padre's math class is a bit difficult, but I really like the course of introductory machining and manufacturing..."

　　 The tone of the young man's speech is a bit lazy, and it seems that he has no energy. Probably the whole day of review exhausted his energy, so the family did not blame him.

　　 After dinner, Jenkins chatted with Robert for a while in the study, then got up and left. Before leaving, Mary gave him her woolen scarf and sweater. He also asked him to pay attention to his health recently. This is already a period of high influenza.

　　 The evening breeze was biting, and when I returned to St. George Street, there was no gas light in all the houses on the street.

　　 He shrank his head and opened the door and rushed out, but in the house where the fireplace was not lit all day, the temperature was not very high.

　　 After a simple wash, she put on a quilt and sat on the sofa in front of the fireplace. Chocolate is still in good spirits, there is still an hour before it can sleep.

　　 Nothing happened at night, so I checked the final draft of "Frozen" for the last time before going to bed. He has written to his bookseller, Mr. Bro, inviting him to pick up the manuscript from the old antique shop next week.

　　If all goes well, the first edition of the book should be able to enter the bookstore before the end of the last month of this year.

　　 I felt as if I had just closed my eyes, and the crackling sound of burning wood in my ear had just sounded, and I heard someone pulling a bell outside the yard.

　　 Before figuring out what happened, the visitor walked through the small garden and stepped onto the steps, and there was a perfunctory knock on the door.

　　 is the old man, only he has the spare key for Jenkins's house.

　　 It was two o'clock in the morning, and the old man hurriedly asked Jenkins to change his clothes and go to the church with him.

　　 This is an emergency, but it is not that there are a large number of wounded waiting for treatment.

　　 Things should start in the morning. At that time, the staff of the Church of Knowledge and Books arranged in the dock area found a strange bone in a small fishing boat illegally fishing.

　　 That bone entered the church in the evening, and the gentlemen in the special item processing office sealed it up according to the usual processing steps, and waited for the secret guard and his apprentices to appraise it, but unexpectedly something went wrong in the middle of the night.

　　 When Dad and Jenkins arrived at the main entrance of the church in a carriage, they found that there were at least three times more guards than before.

　　 They were allowed to enter after confirming their identities. Ordinary priests were strictly restricted to their residences. Only gifters were active in the corridors.

　　 They followed the man who led the way to the courtyard at the back of the main hall, and then entered the large library through the back door along the corridor.

　　 The originally neatly arranged bookshelves were all moved to the wall at this time. At least twenty scribes knelt on one knee in the open space with their hands raised. And under the central dome of the library, a golden orb was quietly suspended. The sphere is translucent, and Jenkins can see a milky white bone wrapped inside.

　　 He originally thought it was just a bone, but the inside of the ball of light was more like the skeleton of an unknown monster.

　　 "Miss Bevana is not in downtown Nuo. There are traces of vampires in Victor Town in the countryside. We need you to preside over the ceremony. Except for the Son, only the gifted person above the demigod is qualified."

　　 The old man said softly, and then the secret guard Smith in sacrificial robes frowned and walked over and stuffed a note into Jenkins's hand.

　　 "Remember these, the current seal will not last long."

"Ok."

　　 He hurriedly put the sleepy kitten aside, and then lowered his head to look at the dense small print.

　　 "You watch and listen, let me talk about the current situation."

　　The secret guard spoke extremely fast, and the three of them walked to the wall together, and a group of scribes hurried past the door behind them.

　　 "This is not a special item, it is a part of an extremely powerful creature."

　　 Chocolate lazily opened one eye, glanced at it and closed it immediately. It was not interested, after all, it was time to go to bed.

"Theoretically speaking, the odds of a strange land appearing in any place are the same. The Orthodox Church can discover and deal with the strange land on the mainland in time, but it is more difficult overseas. Therefore, there are many scattered in the endless ocean There are so many weird things that fall out of the treacherous realm. I think you haven’t forgotten the A-10-1-0230 we brought back from overseas, [Parchment from the Future]."

　　 Jenkins nodded, indicating that he understood.

"This bone should have come to the material world through the treacherous realm. It originally showed extremely strong water absorption, so it was temporarily contained in an ordinary safe. But after nightfall, it suddenly appeared alive. Nature, and broke through the containment site, almost left the church. Now it is clear that it can grow by absorbing water, and its volume is more than ten times that of when we contained it!"

Chapter 524 Chapter 516 Ceremony and Errands

　　 The atmosphere in the big library is very tense, everyone is waiting for Jenkins. He lowered his head and looked at the note, quickly remembering its content, and his ears did not forget to listen to the conversations of nearby people.

　　 "Absorb moisture to grow? Can't kill him? For example, use fire. I remember that there should be at least three special flames sealed behind the Vientiane Gate. The last time the demon flames should have some samples, right?"

　　 This sentence was said by the old man.

　　 "It's too late, the methods of sealing those flames are too complicated, and now the temporary seal can't last that long. Mr. William, have you finished reading it?"

"finish watching."

　　 He confirmed it one last time and passed the note back to the old man. He clapped his hands, and three nuns walked quickly from outside, holding sacrificial robes, crowns and shoes.

　　 People in this era have realized that the air also contains water, so the golden ball that seals the bones also has the effect of isolating the air. But the weird bones that have grown to this level already have a certain amount of space capability, and they are continuing to absorb the inorganic matter needed for growth from the air of an unknown space at a slow rate.

　　 After changing his clothes, the unrelated people in the library retreated outside one after another, and the gas lamp and candle went out all at once. Seeing his father nodded at him, Jenkins opened his arms, and while walking towards the center in the golden light transmitted from the top of his head, he said loudly:

　　 "The sage walks in the barren land, sees Yizi eat each other, shouting big sins! The sage walks in the extremely cold Gaochuan, seeing books burning for warmth, shouting big sins! Sages..."

He walked step by step to just below the golden ball according to the rhythm he was reading, then lifted his right foot and slammed on the ground three times, and raised the scepter of Bishop Parode. Repeated three times, using the tail of the scepter. Draw a huge rune on the floor, and then say in lingua franca:

　　 "The sage said, you are not in this world!"

　　 A strong wind blew abruptly in the library with the door closed. Jenkins understood that this was the correct step in the ceremony, so he immediately drew the second rune:

　　 "The sage asks, why are you here?"

　　 He felt a warm touch from a certain area of ​​his forehead, which seemed to be connected to a distant place.

　　In the vision of the real eye, two chains composed of runes stretched out in the void, connected to both sides of the golden ball. From the naked eye, there is no chain at all, and the bones begin to hit the seal of the golden ball, and the golden ball has a tendency to change to black.

　　 "The wise man said, you are guilty."

　　 Along with the spirit in the body flowing crazily toward the sky, the chain sticking out of the void pierced the golden ball and tied the bone.

　　 Everyone can hear the harsh sound of chains rubbing against each other from their ears, and then they are betting down from the higher sky as if they were real.

　　 The soft white light radiated from the dome of the library, and the squally wind roared through the hall, rustling the books. The chain pulled the bones, immersed in the white light bit by bit.

　　 Ang~

　　 This is the first time it made a sound and the only time it tried to resist the chain.

　　 But it was useless at all. With the sound of the sound, the humidity in the air dropped suddenly, and Jenkins also had a dry mouth.

　　 The bones grew bigger out of thin air, and grew to be able to see the embryonic form of a four-legged monster. It should be the spine, with terrifying bone spurs protruding around.

　　 Bone spurs rubbed the chain and made a sharp sound, and the buzzing tinnitus made Jenkins very uncomfortable. He lowered his head and dug his ears. When he raised his head again, the white light and the monster disappeared.

　　 There is no official conclusion about what was being disposed of. Jenkins, who presided over the ceremony, was really tired, said hello to his father, and went home to rest.

　　 Dad approved him for a day off and reminded him not to forget that Hathaway was invited in the evening.

　　 slept and then woke up, the wall clock on the wall indicated that it was close to noon. The memory of going out last night became as illusory as a dream. He looked at the ceiling of the living room for a long time before remembering that he was going to have lunch.

　　 Because I expected to sleep until noon, I went home last night and prepared breakfast for the chocolate before going to bed.

　　 The cat, who was bored all morning, has been lying on the sofa, placing the cat's head on its front paws and looking at the sleeping man. As for whether it sneaked out of the house to hang out in the morning, Jenkins didn't know.

　　 Hathaway said that the carriage will pick him up on St. George Street at six in the afternoon, so Jenkins does not plan to go out in the afternoon.

　　 His original arrangement was to continue the final verification of the manuscript, and then read the two books ordered by his father, but then he remembered that December had already started, and his steam and water bills had not yet been paid.

　　 He had to disrupt his plan, taking advantage of the good weather this afternoon, and went out with chocolate. After dealing with various payment items, I went to the post office and bought a copy of this month's "Tropical Medicine Prospects" to determine the time for Mr. Corpse to meet.

After returning from Bel Dylan, he has already learned from Miss Magic by the number of flower pots that Mr. Hood’s party has not been held again during the week’s journey, and the next time has not yet been determined, so it will be all in the near future. No need to venture out at night.

　　 The gift for the evening visit was a bottle of expensive wine. The old man helped him prepare it a few days ago. Seeing that he had nothing to do, he brought some enthusiastic chocolates to go home.

　　 Just turning the street corner, she saw Mary walking down a carriage with her skirt. With a book and a letter in her hand, she should also come to the post office.

　　 "Jenkins!"

　　 She saw Jenkins from a distance and waved her hand to greet him.

　　 Jenkins met his family on the street for the first time. He was taken aback for a moment, and quickly walked across the street, avoiding the old man with a stick and walked to the carriage.

　　 "Great, I ran into you here. I'm going to pick up your father's clean suit later, and help me send this book to John. He went in a hurry this morning."

　　 said, he handed the book in his hand to Jenkins. She should have come to mail the letter, and then went to the dry cleaner. Jenkins remembered that Robert mentioned last night that he was going to an important reception on Monday.

　　 "Oh, yes, there is no problem at all."

　　 Jenkins took the blue-covered "Introduction to Mechanics", which also contained two papers with calculation formulas in it. The handwriting was a bit scribbled, and it seemed to be calculating the torque.

　　 "Then, the address is..."

　　 "In an apartment in the South City of Nolan, yes, No. 9 on Saar Five Star Street."

Chapter 525 Chapter 517 The Lying John

Jenkins has never been to Saar Five Star Avenue, not only because that avenue is far away from his range of activities, but also because Chengnan District is Nolan’s largest ghetto area and machinery trading area, whether it was in the past or the present. His life trajectory has no intersection with there.

　　 The apartment with No. 09 sign is easy to find. It is as ordinary as most rental apartments in this city.

　　 After Jenkins got out of the carriage with the chocolate, he first stood on the opposite side of the street and looked up at the building, then noticed the four stone statues crouching around the attic, and then walked up the street and knocked on the door. The owner here is obviously very negligent, because the surface of the door is very dirty. Although there is no floating dust, there is a dark yellow stain near the bottom of the door.

　　 Soon, there was the sound of footsteps inside the door, and then the small sliding door in the upper center of the door was opened, revealing the face of the fat woman with a sallow face behind the door.

　　 "Hello, sorry to bother you, are John Williams and his classmates here? I gave him a book."

　　 said, he waved the "Introduction to Machinery" in his hand in front of the small door.

　　 "Williamt? Oh, yes, there is indeed a child with this surname."

　　 "Great, can I call him out? I want to give him the book by myself."

　　 "Oh, sir, it doesn't need to be so troublesome. I will just give him the book."

　　 The woman didn't even want to open the door, but beckoned in front of the small window and motioned for Jenkins to roll up the book and stuff it in.

　　 "Is that so?"

　　 He was a little surprised, wanted to insist, but worried that he was nervous, "But my mother asked me to give it to him."

　　 "Sir, don't waste everyone's time."

　　 The woman immediately showed an unhappy expression:

　　 "Do you doubt that I am greedy for this book?"

　　 "No, no, you misunderstood."

　　 Jenkins smiled apologetically, rolled the blue-covered book into a tube, and handed it to the woman from the small window: "Then I will trouble you, ma'am."

　　 "No, this is my pleasure."

　　 She replied perfunctorily, and then closed the small window again with a snap. A few seconds later, Jenkins, whose ear was close to the door, heard the sound of pedaling up the stairs.

　　 "Should you not always encounter accidents?"

　　 While rubbing his chocolate head, he walked from the front of the apartment back to the street. Chocolate meowed softly, which was a response to Jenkins.

　　 is different from before other bad things happened, he didn't feel strange at this time. But he always has to be safe to do things, and it is not three o'clock now, he has time.

　　 There is a narrow alley next to the apartment at No. 9 Wuxing Avenue in Sal, which is used as a shortcut to connect this street with another block. Jenkins stood on the street for a while and bought a newspaper, then looked at it in a nearby store, and then pretended to inadvertently turn there.

　　 Confirmed that there was no one on either side of the alley, he patted the chocolate to beckon it to pay attention, and then quickly put the newspaper on the ground, sat on the newspaper, leaning against the wall, and activated Menghun's ability to leave the body.

　　 It is very interesting to observe the world with the "vision" of the spirit body, especially as the level increases and the frequent contact with the divine, the high sensitivity of the soul determines that Jenkins can discover more difficult-to-observe details.

But his ability does not last long. After all, the essence of this ability is to enter the dream rather than the soul out of the body. After "floating" into the building, he quickly passed through the rooms, and he did not find the young person who deserved to study here. students.

　　 He was ready to return to his body and then think again, but he happened to find an old man sleeping in the room on the second floor.

　　 "Good luck."

　　 He plunged into that man's dream.

　　 Jenkins rarely has the opportunity to use the ability to dream. The last time he and Miss Miller were on the 31st to fight the two witches who attempted to invade the apartment.

　　 But if the opponent is just an ordinary person, then relying on a powerful soul can easily change the dream arbitrarily, and it is not very difficult to get some information using the "inception" technique.

　　 In the alley outside the building, Chocolate crouched on the man's shoulders and looked at the left and right sides of the alley with those big amber eyes. When the man shivered violently, he lay down steadily again.

　　 "The young people nowadays have no patience at all."

　　 Having obtained the key information, Jenkins stood up, clutching his forehead, and patted the dust on the hem of his coat.
