Mystery: Shadow of Order

v1 Chapter 224: Arrangements before leaving

East District, an alley outside a small tavern.

Looking at Hugh Dilcha, whose height has changed significantly, Rawls nodded invisibly. At least she made a lot of sacrifices to join MI9. After she made arrangements, she could try to get her Offered to join MI9.

Hugh, who noticed that Rawls' eyes were a little weird, remembered that he had appeared near Forsi's current apartment a few days ago. He was really in a hurry to find him, but he clearly tried to contact him a few days ago, and again There has been no news?

"You came to me a few days ago, do you have a new mission?"

New mission? some days ago?

Rawls's expression remained unchanged, and he did not pick up the topic, but directly talked about the issue that Hugh was most concerned about:

"You've been a 'sheriff' for a while, it's time to join MI9."

Xio was stunned, and immediately forgot her own question. When she was recruited by MI9 for the first time, she told Rawls the news, but Rawls told her to wait for a while, and the time had not yet come. Now that he says that, does he think the time has come?

And Rawls also took advantage of Xiu's dazed time to understand her previous problems. Xio's main active area is the East District, but she has always lived with Fors, either in the Chorwood District or the North District. He had been to Crystal Street in Chorwood just a few days ago to track the whereabouts of the fat pharmacist, and was chased by the police. It should be at that time that Forsi saw it, thinking that he was going to them to assign tasks.

Although Xio was very excited, he still asked a little nervously:

"Really? I can wait a little longer." Her father was involved in the rebellion, and MI9 was an intelligence agency, so you can't go wrong with caution.

Rawls nodded, he has been waiting for a suitable opportunity for Hugh to join MI9 and get promoted quickly, to inquire about the internal situation of MI9 for him. He originally wanted Hugh to contribute a part of the Intis spy case and provide intelligence to MI9, but he didn't expect that because of his participation, Ian didn't find the manuscript of Hermoshine at all, so he changed his mind. Start with that demon dog.

But after a turnaround, he found the manuscript of Hermothein from Ian's words and under Sharon's divination, and also involved the Rose School of thought, which gave his original idea a chance of success.

"But you have to complete a mission first, and after this mission is completed, your road in MI9 will be better."

There was no surprise in the dark green pupils under the brim of Hugh's hat. This was what she and Forsi had considered before, so she replied in a deep voice:

"What mission?"

"In the gas explosion some time ago, MI9 should have issued a mission to you." Seeing Xio nod, Rawls pointed to the bridge area, "I hope you have been investigating this matter in the bridge area for the past few days. , and tell your superiors that you have been in the bridge area since the gas bombing."

What does it mean? Hugh's eyes were full of doubts. Ever since she received the task of investigating the gas explosion, she has not investigated, not only because it involves Alicia, but also because those Beyonders are not something she can deal with. She just found a few gang members who often hang out in the bridge area, and used fists and money to let them collect relevant information.

"Three or four days later, a clue will be circulated in the bridge area involving the manuscript of the third-generation difference engine of Hermothein. The secret organization Rose School is related to this manuscript, and you must have received an investigation task from MI9. They It should tell you some news about the Rose School. If not, you show that you have a certain understanding of this organization and report directly to your superiors that you have clues about the Rose School."

Regardless of Hugh's bewildered look, Rawls continued:

"Because of the previous gas explosion, you have been investigating in the Bridge District. A herbal shop in the Bridge District has aroused your suspicion. After secret surveillance, you found that the herbal shop was smuggling arms while selling herbal medicines. Although the number is not large, it is As a peripheral intelligence officer of MI9, you still investigate carefully.

Two days ago, the owner of the herbal shop, for some unknown reason, transported the ammunition hidden in the basement storage room of the herbal shop to a house in his eastern district. You infiltrated the house and found the herbal shop and the secret organization Rose There are sect connections and there seem to be suspicious people around the herbal shop. "

Hugh looked at Rawls who was describing the mission in front of her. For the first time, she had the idea of ​​whether she was unsuitable for intelligence work. She had no idea what the Rose School was or where the herbal shop was. The only one who knows is the great scientist Hermothein, who knows that he is the father of the second-generation difference engine, but has disappeared, but how his manuscript is linked to the secret organization.

Do Beyonders also use difference engines for research? Researching the proportions of potion recipes?

"After you report this matter, you can take advantage of the situation and propose to join MI9. With this information, they will not reject you. As for your identity, I will lend you a mask, which can change your appearance and Height, but there are certain negative effects. Each use is controlled within an hour, and after use, accept a purification ceremony or drink 500ml of holy water, the latter should be no problem for you.”

Rawls looked at Hugh who was a little confused. It was not easy to join MI9, especially Hugh's father, Mason Deere, had a position in MI9 before his death. That spell can only distort the Extraordinary Sense, but it can't hide the information on paper.

Originally, after Klein was promoted to "Faceless Man", he would get a copy of the "Faceless Man" trait from him to find someone to make a mask, and then let Xio join. But Azik gave Rawls his mask, so he didn't need to be so troublesome, but in this way, the mask could not be returned to his hands in a short time.

Finally, a smile appeared on Xiu's face, who finally understood part of it. She was really worried about the review after applying to join MI9. Her height could be changed, her identity could be changed, but her appearance could not be changed. Her father died only seven years ago, and she hasn't changed much in these seven years. MI9 must have her information.

She resisted the excitement of joining MI9 and nodded vigorously. Although the purification ceremony or drinking 500ml of holy water was a big expense for her, with Audrey's 500 pounds of funds, There will be no problems in a short time.

After passing the review, you can wear a mask yourself, which is the regulation of MI9. What's more, what Rawls said just now was borrowed and must be taken back.

But he arranged the task like this, is there something that can't be escaped? Or do you want to leave Backlund?

Although he didn't quite understand the meaning of this task, Hugh could feel it with the beast-like intuition that Fors said. Perhaps she was too excited, and the next second she asked directly:

"Are you leaving Backlund?"

The next second after the words were spoken, Xio realized that he had asked a bad question, and hurriedly explained:

"I'm just……"

"Just what?" Rawls raised his face and narrowed his eyes. "That's not what you should know. Do as I say."

[In other words, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books at present, Mimi Read, install the latest version. 】

Xiu Moran lowered her head. She has been living according to Fors' planned identity for a while, and she was a little too excited to be able to join MI9 to investigate her father's case.

Rawls took out a mask that was almost transparent like human skin from the pocket of the trench coat and handed it to Xio. One touch with extraordinary items.

"Fors should have weaved an identity for you, but it needs to be more perfect, otherwise it will be difficult for you to pass the censorship of MI9. After joining MI9, if the information you bring me is greater than the value of this extraordinary item, I wouldn't mind giving you this mask worth over £5,000."

£5,000?

Xio added a little more strength to the hand holding the "Variety Mask", and a cyan color immediately appeared on the mask that was no different from a human face. She has completely given up on this number. To reach this number, she has to find at least ten existences like Audrey, but where does Backlund have so many beautiful and generous noble ladies?

Thinking of Audrey, Xio immediately asked:

"Do you know where to find the recipe for 'Audience', or clues to the Psychology Alchemy Society?"

"audience"? Psychological Alchemy Society?

Why did Audrey suddenly start looking for the Psychology Alchemy Society again? She should have already digested the potion at this time, but she does not have a follow-up formula, she is preparing for the "psychiatrist" formula.

In the formula that Rawls sold before, "Psychiatrist" only had the main material and one auxiliary material. It was normal for Audrey, who was about to become a Sequence 8 "Mind Reader", to have this idea.

"Take her to Mr. A's party, there should be members of the Psychology Alchemy Society, but if you want to get the formula from them, you must reveal your identity."

Although Mr. A's party is not high-level, it may not reach the level of the party that Sharon participated in, but there is a strong guarantee there, and there must be someone in the Psychology Alchemy Club. It's just because of Mr. A's strength and confidentiality measures, if Audrey hides her identity, it will be difficult for the Psychological Alchemy Council to take the initiative to find her.

The Roselle diaries that Rawls purchased there before all involved Hermes, and he guessed that the person wearing the wooden mask should be someone from the Psychological Alchemy Society.

Xio frowned. If her identity was revealed, Audrey might not be willing. She and Fors both believed that although Audrey was generous, she definitely had a lot of secrets hidden on her body. The possibility of choosing such a method was very low.

"In addition, the wives, children, and relatives of the big nobles who support the Conservative Party may all be members of the Psychology Alchemy Society. When they talk about their desire for occultism and psychology in front of them, they are more likely to be actively contacted by people from the Psychology Alchemy Society. ."

Rawls is actually very helpless. Whether it is Adam's Twilight Hermit Society or the Psychological Alchemy Society supported by him, the dark piles buried in the Conservative Party are one after another.

Duke Negan's secretary is a member of the Twilight Hermit Society, and his oil painting in the Carlton Club office where the Conservatives gather is drawn by Pauly Dellaw, president of the Psychological Alchemy Society. The sister of Duke Negan's wife is a member of the Psychological Alchemy Society... …

This is still known, and there are still many unknowns, but the New Party did not specifically describe which one might come from these two secret organizations. Rawls can only attribute it to the goddess who holds secret authority. Of course, there may also be a tacit understanding between the goddess and Adam.

Xio was a little shocked. Could psychological alchemy be so scary? If those big figures are surrounded by people from secret organizations, wouldn't they be controlled by these secret organizations.

Looking at the somewhat stunned Xiu, Rawls was satisfied. He was about to leave Backlund, and Xiu, who was about to join MI9, needed a warning. Once she arbitrarily investigated Mason Deere's affairs, it would be easy to detect.

"Your father's matter is even more serious. Don't investigate it before I notify you!"

...

Rolls left the East District with a cane, took the luggage prepared in advance and headed towards the Backlund Steam Train Station. He was going to Tingen City, to be precise, to the nearest station to Tingen, Vinia Town.

This morning, Rawls received a notice from Mr. Fool that tomorrow's Tarot Club will be cancelled, which means that Ince Zangwill will start attacking St. Celine according to the lame script of "0-08" today. Na Church, Klein will also usher in his first death.

He didn't save Klein in the past, it was almost noon now, and it took three and a half hours for the steam train to reach the town of Vinia. And Ince Zangwill, who had been promoted to "gatekeeper" at that time, should have left Tingen with the quill~lightnovelpub.net~ He can go to the Lincoln Law School in Tingen to discuss the expansion of lawyers Office thing.

Senior Solicitor Jurgen Cooper will arrive in Tingen in the afternoon to submit the profile of a well-known barrister in Ahowa and prepare him for admission to the Lincoln School of Law.

A sharp and long whistle sounded, and the train spewing a huge steam mass set off in the sound of "crack clack".

Looking at the passing scenery outside the window, Rawls thought about the arrangement before leaving. In addition to Hugh's task, Sharon, Maric and Ian all had their own tasks.

Ian Wright will return to Backlund tomorrow, and use his friends to spread the clues about the manuscript of Hermosine; Maric is responsible for manipulating the living corpse near the herbal shop, pretending to be an Extraordinary of the Rose School. , indulge in the bait; Sharon has to hold the manuscript of Hermoshine that Rawls gave her, and wait near the house in the east side of the herbal shop owner where the arms are stored to prevent the herbal shop owner from transferring those arms.

The day after Rawls and Sharon took Helmershine’s manuscript, the herbal shop owner found out and transferred those arms at night, but these were all under Rawls’s surveillance.

Hermothein's manuscript did not contain what Rawls wanted. He only withheld the design drawings of the thermometer, and handed over the manuscript about the third-generation difference engine to Sharon, and asked her to combine the manuscript with the final design. The arms are placed together, firmly nailing the Rose School and Hermosine together.

If nothing else, Intis, Rose School and MI9 will all get mixed up, and then it will depend on whether the great detective Sherlock Moriarty can fish in troubled waters and find Master Luo with the help of Ian.
