After reading the traces printed on the paper, Pacheco turned his head and said to Button next to him:

"The next thing will be quite complicated, I will ask the police for help.

"And you can return to the Foundation and wait for follow-up enquiries."

Barton staring at the paper heard this sentence. Not only did he not be disappointed, but for a while he was glad, nodded quickly:

"Okay."

After reading the traces of Vernal legacy, Button’s intuition told him that things would be very dangerous.

As an ordinary person, avoiding danger is an instinctive choice.

Of course, this is also because Vernal can only be regarded as his ordinary friend, and it is not worth his risk to blend in this matter.

After the response, Button immediately turned around, walked between the hotel owner and the waiter, and came to the street.

This time, he did not choose public transportation and got on a rented carriage.

Barton’s outing this time is a special matter, which is more urgent, and the deputy head of the “Compliance Department” testifies, so he can be reimbursed in this regard.

And spending the foundation’s money and using your own salary are completely different feelings.

On the way, Patton looked at the scenery outside the window and couldn’t help thinking about Vernal’s current state:

"Is he still alive?

"The strong **** smell in the room...

"I hope he is still alive, and may the Lord bless him.

"If he was still alive, where would he be now?

"Where...

"Will it?"

"This!"

After thinking about the electricity, Patton suddenly thought of a possibility, and he ordered the driver to change the route and go to the neighborhood where he was.

It didn’t take long for him to return home.

"What happened?" Button's wife greeted him with a look of surprise.

There is still a short time before lunch, let alone get off work.

Barton didn’t take off his hat, didn’t take off his coat, didn’t answer the question, and asked directly:

"Have Vernal been here?"

"He came to visit you in a quarter of an hour, I let him wait in the study, and sent Wells to the Foundation to find you." Button's wife answered truthfully.

Wells is the servant of their family, and it is clear that one quarter of an hour is not enough for him to reach "Ruen Antiques' Collection and Protection Foundation".

This is the most surprising part of Button’s wife.

"Uh." Button seriously nodded hurried through the living room, up to second floor, and entered the study.

In the study, the windows were wide open, and the curtains were lightly shaken, leaving no one there.

"Fernal?" Button exclaimed, but no one responded.

He jumped out of the window and left... Barton frowned, looking around in earnest, and found that the order of the books on his bookshelf was out of order.

That is a series of books on history, divided into upper middle and lower volumes.

Barton’s habit is to arrange from right to left, and now they have changed from left to right.

He silently took a deep breath, walked over quickly, and pulled out the three books.

After a careful inspection, Button found that one page in the middle was folded.

He quickly turned to that page and opened the corner.

Scribble text was written in pencil above:

"The remnants of fourth era worship Evil God."

His... Barton was panicked and horrified, and slammed the book back in his hand.

With little thought, he ran out of the study room deng deng deng and ran to the stairs, preparing to find the deputy director of the Compliance Department Pacheco, telling him his findings and asking him to find the police to protect his family.

Waiting out of the house, Barton slowed down, considering a very important issue:

Where can I find Pacheco?

The Clough Inn, Stoen Police Headquarters, or Foundation?

After a short period of thinking, Button decided to return to the foundation and find other employees in the "Compliance Department".

At this time, a rented carriage stopped at his door, and Pacheco Dawn came down.

"We found that Vernal is at your house again." The deputy director of the "Compliance Department" explained quickly.

Barton relaxed, answered without hesitation:

"Yes, but he has already left.

"However, he has left some clues."

After finishing, Patton led Pacheco into his home, came to the study, and handed the book to the other party.

Pacheco glanced at it twice, and gently slid a finger on the surface of the line of text.

Next, he took out the pencil he had used before and wrote on the side of Vernal’s message:

"Alarm!"

After doing all this, Pacheco put the book back in its original place.

However, he did not push the book completely.

As a result, the entire row of books has a bulging outward.

"Okay, go back to the Foundation, have lunch, and wait for the good news from the police." Pacheco clapped his hands and applauded.

Barton didn’t quite understand the reason why the senior Lawyer did this, but he didn’t ask why.

He really doesn’t want to blend this in, he feels he can’t bear it.

Barton immediately explained the reasons for his wife, and then followed Pacheco back to the foundation to start his daily work.

At tea time, he just finished an ancient book appraisal and heard a knock on the door.

"There is a clue, you need to go to your house." Pacheco was wearing a gray scarf and stood by the doorway.

"Clue?" Barton got up in surprise.

Pacheco did not give a positive answer, and spread his hand in an inviting gesture.

Barton couldn’t refuse and returned home with the other party.

"Fernal is here again!" His wife noticed that something was wrong and greeted the door with horror.

"It's okay, some minor problems." Patton maintained his image as a man and comforted his wife.

After coming to the study, he and Pacheco found that Vernal had escaped early.

"Damn it, can't he wait?" Barton couldn't help complaining.

"It doesn't matter." Pacheco walked to the front of the bookshelf and pulled out the book.

Obviously, Vernal has read his suggestion because the book is completely packed into the shelf.

"I probably know where Vernal is." Pacheco half-closed his eyes and said with a smile.

Barton was stunned for a while:

"How do you know?"

Pacheco opened his eyes and smiled and replied:

"He accepted my bribe, no, gift, or wrong, the most accurate description should be a suggestion.

"Of course, he may not necessarily adopt it."

After that, the deputy director of the Compliance Department crossed Barton and walked out of the study.

Barton subconsciously followed behind him, leaving the area where he was, and turning into a nearby street.

At the end of the street, there was a house that collapsed due to a fire.

"It hasn't started to rebuild yet." Barton whispered.

Pacheco put on white gloves again, his expression slightly more serious.

He entered the semi-collapsed hall through the fairly complete main entrance.

A piece of burnt black wood fell to the ground, blocking the lower body of a figure.

The figure is wearing a brown jacket with a red nose and looks very strong. It is Archaeologist Vernal.

Barton secretly asked from sighed:

"Why don't you call the police?"

"They monitor the police station." Vernal replied with no change in expression.

Barton blurted and asked again:

"Why not leave Stoen and go to another city to call the police?"

"They monitor the steam train station." Vernal responded with the same tone.

Barton thought for a while and frowned:

"You have many ways to leave Stoen, they cannot block a city."

Hearing this question, Vernal’s expression gradually came to life, and the tone said erraticly:

"I feel the will of the great existence..."
