v4 Chapter 130: Abner who was caught

Trier, Southwest.

On Connor Street at night, the gas lights illuminate the smooth road, and the crimson moon hangs high.

A three-person "Heart of Machinery" team, with the help of agile skills, covered each other, and silently climbed over the wall of Senator Alice Camp's house.

They walked quickly through the garden, came to the side of the house, and cooperated with each other to climb to the balcony on the second floor.

"Captain, there doesn't seem to be anyone..." Pierre, the bearded man in the group of three, said softly after using a tarot card to open the latch of the window.

"This is very abnormal. Even if Ms. Camp has something to go out, her servants should be there!" The captain with short brown hair frowned.

According to the information provided by nearby informants, Russell visited Congressman Kemp for some unknown purpose this morning and left in the afternoon.

The "Heart of Machinery" team that had been following Russell wanted to take advantage of the night to investigate and see if there were any new clues.

And Alice Kemp is a member of Congress, and she is also the identity of Daphne, the "ancient scholar"... Of course, the "Heart of Machinery" team does not know about the latter.

"Will something go wrong? I remember that the informant said that after Russell left, he never saw the servants of the Camp family go out..." The only woman in the three-person group, Ms. "Wizard" solemnly said.

Hearing that, although the young short-haired captain didn't reply, the act of loading the bullets made the other two team members raise their vigilance to the highest level.

However, when the three sneaked into the house of Congressman Camp, they did not find any **** and cruel scenes. The whole house was empty, but half of the coffee was drunk in the living room, the books were opened in the living room, and the cut in the kitchen Potatoes that are not in the pot... These and other signs indicate that the people in the house have suddenly disappeared.

"Russell killed them and disposed of the corpses?" After the three people who had split up and found a circle in the whole house reunited, the bearded man Pierre first expressed his guess.

"You mean Congressman Kemp offended him, or has some important evidence, so Russell came to kill him?" Madam "Wizard" asked thoughtfully.

"The latter may be more likely, but it's not like his long-planned action, it's more likely to be a temporary intention! If it was really premeditated, Russell would not let people see him at the Camp House." Beard Pierre analyzed.

The captain's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he clapped his hands and said, "In other words, it is very likely that he discovered Ms. Camp's hidden secrets after he arrived here, so he acted in a hurry, and maybe some clues will be missed!"

Having said that, the captain looked at Miss Wizard, "Lisa, try to divination whether there is a dark room here."

If Congressman Kemp left any evidence, it would be better to hide it, and the "devil" is not good at divination.

Madam "Wizard" nodded, took out the silver chain and held it in the palm of her hand, letting the pendulum droop, entering a state of meditation.

Her eyes turned deep, and she whispered to herself:

"This house has a secret room or a secret compartment."

"This house has a secret room or a secret compartment."

……

After seven times, the color of Lisa the "Wizard" returned to normal. She looked at the citrine pendant and saw that it was spinning clockwise.

That's for sure!

Seeing such a result, the three of them naturally began to search again, and quickly used "divination" to find a small dark room in the living room.

There is nothing else in this dark room except a small bookshelf with a stack of papers on it.

The captain carefully picked up the document, only glanced at it a few times, and the whole person was stunned. He just felt the blood from all over his body rushing straight to his brain, causing his body to shake.

"If the contents of the document are true...the consequences..." After flipping through the pages again, the captain took a deep breath and calmed down.

No wonder Russell wanted to kill someone. It turns out that Ms. Camp has such evidence!

Now, the most important task is to send this document back to the church... No, it is best to send it to an archbishop or senior deacon.

But as soon as he thought of this, he felt that his "heart" seemed to be held by someone. At the same time, his spiritual intuition was a mad warning, which made him stand still and dare not act rashly.

And his two teammates were in similar condition to him, and seemed to have lost their ability to move.

At this time, a man with neatly combed hair walked out of the shadows, took the stack of documents from the captain's hand gracefully, and said with a smile, "Thank you very much for helping me find these things... Sure enough, professional It has to be done by professionals.”

"Russell!" The three "Heart of Machines" members gritted their teeth and said the name at the same time.

"It's rare that the three of you know my name, so I will try to make your death less painful, just like Ms. Camp, the master here." Russell smiled and said a terrible sentence.

As he spoke, he was about to stretch out his right hand and make a fist.

At the critical moment, mysterious patterns composed of many symbols suddenly flashed under the feet of the three "Heart of Machines" members, and in the next instant, their figures appeared on the street outside the courtyard wall of the house.

This is the Sealed Artifact "2-113" they carried.

It was a flag-shaped object. As long as it was inserted in a certain position in advance, the person who touched it could return to its side in half an hour. Up to three people, up to 100 meters away.

For safety reasons, the three "Heart of Machines" members planted their flags in the nearby alley before exploring the house, which happened to save their lives.

"Run separately! Be sure to bring the conspiracy of Russell and the Prime Minister back to the church!" The captain instructed the two team members as soon as his heart was out of control.

Then, the three of them walked in three directions tacitly.

Bearded Pierre is an "appraiser". Although the potion increases his physical strength, it is ultimately limited. His speed is the slowest among the three.

So after just running across a street, he was blocked by a three-meter-high "devil" with a sulphur smell and bat-like flesh wings on its back.

Although Pierre was full of despair, as a "heart of machinery", he bravely raised the revolver in his hand, ready to fight against it and die a glorious death.

But at this moment, a solemn voice came from mid-air: "The mystery of this place is weakened, and the reality is strengthened!"

As the voice fell, the three-meter-tall monster's entire body was a little illusory, and it seemed that it was about to disintegrate.

It gave the person a "deep" look, then turned around and flew away without hesitation~lightnovelpub.net~ And the gentleman who spoke up didn't seem to want to let it go, and used magical items to chase after it. up.

Pierre tried his best to raise his head, and vaguely saw a young figure wearing a top hat and a formal suit.

When he was stunned, he suddenly heard someone calling his name, and when he looked back, it was the captain and Miss "Wizard" chasing after him.

"What about you?" Pierre was still a little dazed, thinking that he might be dreaming.

"It was the Mr. 'Professor' who happened to pass by and saved us," said the wizard lady quickly.

"'Professor'? Is that the young gentleman?" Pierre asked casually, finally regaining some composure.

"Yes, he calls himself a 'Professor', maybe Russell's enemy... But now is not the time to talk, we have to go to the nearest church to ask for support." The captain quickly gave an order.

"Yes, Captain!"

……

In a house not far away, Daphne, who had released the "historical projection", smiled and said to Abner in front of her, "Lord Angel, how is my acting?"

For this play, she even gave up her identity as a congressman.

"That's right." Abner was not a stingy person. He was about to praise a few more words, but his spirituality was suddenly touched. He turned his head suddenly, and saw a tall, handsome man with long chestnut hair. The young man appeared outside the balcony on the second floor at some point.

Although he hadn't seen it before, the moment he saw the whole young man, a name appeared in Abner's mind:

"Bonova Gustave."
