Start with the Readers Chapter 299: Prologue

"Origin Castle!"

After uttering this word, some of the dark spots on the man's face miraculously fell off, revealing a handsome face.

After a few more seconds, the man's brown eyeballs also became lively, no longer dull as before.

"'Origin Castle' is indeed the nemesis of pollution on my body...just using the remaining breath on this pendant to pry the power released by the descending 'Origin Castle', I temporarily recovered my sobriety ..."

The man who still had a few dark spots on his cheeks muttered to himself, then checked his condition, and then said thoughtfully:

"The 'cursed thing' possessing me seems to have been polluted by something extremely high, and it has reached a strange balance with the underground pollution in my body... So, I Only then can you have the opportunity to control your body...

"Austin, my original decision was correct. We who have slept together to this era finally have the possibility to get rid of pollution..."

After chattering for a long while, the man looked in the direction of the Jowood area again, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that the 'Origin Castle' only appeared for a moment and then disappeared, without locating the specific location...

"But it's okay, the direction is right...

"Austin, you can't wait to see me again, can you?"

……

Backlund is located in a villa in the dock area.

"Mechanical Heart" and MI9's top executives sat on both sides of a long table in the hall, waiting quietly.

There are three chairs at the top, two of which are currently occupied by Horamick Haydn, archbishop of the Church of Steam Backlund, and a saint wearing a golden mask from MI9 .

A few minutes later, Deacon Ikanser walked in from the outside. He took off his hat, stroked his fluffy but not soft hair, and sat in the first position on the left. His subordinates were already sitting." Mechanical Heart" team member.

On the opposite side of him, from his side, were senior officials from MI9. They were all summoned to a meeting by Backlund Archbishop Horamick Haydn and the military saints.

The archbishop wearing a white priest robe looked like an ordinary old man at this moment. He glanced at the empty seat beside him and asked the military saint, "Why hasn't Your Excellency Snake arrived yet?"

"The Church of the Storm seems to be looking for the whereabouts of Vice Admiral Hurricane recently, maybe they have been caught by something." The military demigod wearing a golden mask said with a chuckle.

Archbishop Horamick looked at his watch again, then nodded and said: "The time has come, since His Excellency Snake hasn't arrived yet, let's not wait for him, and report the results to the 'Deputy Punisher' after the meeting is over." Those who’ll be fine.”

After finishing speaking, he looked around and said gently:

"Starting with Ikanser, let's talk about the investigations of the past few days in order."

Ikanser Bernard brushed his hair, took out the ancient silver mirror of Arrods from the special pocket on the inside of his clothes, and placed it in front of him.

Seeing this mirror, MI9 officers who experienced the last workshop incident in the dock area swallowed subconsciously. Only Consi Liersen, who was brought to attend by the military sage for the first time, looked at the silver mirror in surprise, not understanding why the colleagues around him showed serious expressions.

While flipping through the thick documents, Ikanser reported concisely:

"Your Excellency the Archbishop, Your Excellency the Admiral, we are responsible for the missing persons of the Secret Order and the dock area. After a detailed investigation and the assistance of corresponding extraordinary means, we confirm that the target of '1-025' is the Secret Order One of them named Riggins...to be precise, he bought an antique in Conston City. As for the other members of the secret order, they were just implicated.

"According to the information provided by Mr. Stewart, the senior deacon of the Church of Storms, Riggins even bought the antique with the notes of the Antigonus family... Although Riggins regretted it very much afterwards, he even sent someone to Tingen to think about it. Tried to retrieve the lost note, but failed.

"However, even if he was really just impulsive, it also shows that the antique is really not simple, otherwise, as a senior member of the Secret Order stationed in Loen, how could he make such a decision so easily?"

Mentioning Stuart, Ikanser suddenly sighed, because this gentleman is actually a good person. When he was punished by Arrods' lightning before, he was the one who healed him... It's a pity that he didn't know it out of some psychology at the time. Remind him that this will completely ruin the other party's reputation in the two churches and the military.

No matter what, Mr. Stewart's "sacrifice" pointed out the direction for our investigation, otherwise we would not know what "1-025" really cares about... Ikanser breathed out slowly, and continued News report:

"As for the investigation of the dock area and the factory area, the situation is not very ideal, because the turnover of people is too high, and we cannot accurately know who has disappeared recently..."

After listening quietly, Horamick said to himself, "It's not okay for the dock area and factory area to always be like this. It seems that necessary reforms are imperative."

"That's something that needs to be considered by the gentlemen of the cabinet and the parliament." The military sage shrugged, and then he gave Kang Si a wink and asked him to report the progress on his side.

Upon seeing this, Lance stood up and gave a salute, and then seriously reported:

"Our investigation on the identity of the object possessed by '1-025' has also obtained preliminary results. Since '1-025' was lost in the Dreyer Forest, the target of its possession should be in the The surrounding area. And the black spots on its body, as well as the characteristics of the 'gatekeeper', we speculate that it is the performance of an extraordinary person who lost control of the 'corpse collector' pathway... Therefore, it is very likely that it is possessed in an ancient tomb The 'Corpse Collector' route to demigod corpses.

"After further investigation, we narrowed down our targets to three.

"First, for more than a hundred years, an Extraordinary named John once lived in the small town of Kangwa, and the hotel in the town was built according to a specific shape... According to our survey, this building is Although there are no extraordinary traces, it has an extremely strong ritual style.

"And this man named John disappeared later, and he probably died near the small town of Kangwa.

"Secondly, it's Baron Kangwa before and after the 'Battle of Reneging the Oath'. The baron's fief is around there, and he died in an extremely strange way. Both the castle and the fief were buried by mudslides...but This baron only had mid-sequence strength during his lifetime, and it is unlikely to have a negative impact on ~IndoMTL.com~, so we think it is unlikely.”

"The third is the captain of the guard of the Duke of West, who was at the same time as Baron Conwa. According to the data, the duke's wife went missing. "

After listening to him, Archbishop Horamick pondered for a while, looked around at the participants, and concluded:

"...It seems that we have not fully grasped the situation, and there are still three things that cannot be confirmed. First, the '2-111' showed that '1-025' has a very high intelligence, so now the control Is it '1-025' holding the body or the consciousness of the body itself? Second, what exactly is the antique bought by members of the secret order, and what is so special about it? Third, what purpose does it have! Since With wisdom, it can't just do things by instinct as before."

"2-111" refers to the magic mirror of Arrods.

Everyone was silent, thinking about the question raised by the Archbishop.

At this moment, the military demigod wearing a golden mask suddenly said:

"Kans, you ask '2-111', who is controlling that body?"

Is it finally my turn to perform? Your Excellency asked me if I was willing to make some sacrifices, but you need me to use the Sealed Artifact?

That's it, it seems that the negative effects of this sealed item will make people very painful... That's why my colleagues were so afraid just now.

After looking at his boss and his colleagues, Kang Si stood up straight and replied with enthusiasm:

"Yes, sir."
