MTL - Lord of the Mysteries-v6 Chapter 71 chain reaction
At this moment, Wendell just felt that his calf was shaking slightly, as if he couldn't support the weight of his body.
After leaving Utopia, he had expected what the worst result would be, that was a sudden violent day, for no reason.
However, he never expected that he would still meet people from Utopia, in the real metropolis of Bakerland.
More importantly, the guest invited him to go to Utopia again.
For Wendel, this is an extremely scary nightmare, and his mental quality is considered good without a crash on the spot.
Keeping the basic calm, Wendell squeezed out a difficult expression:
"I have a lot of things lately ..."
The policeman named Byers said immediately:
"After two weeks, this is the relevant instrument."
He said as he handed the documents to Wendel.
Frankly, Wendel didn't want to answer, but he had to answer.
Byers took a step back:
"It's about the future of a lady, and I sincerely hope that you will testify in court."
"It depends ..." Wendel didn't want to agree, and he didn't dare to refuse.
Byers didn't say much, and saluted:
"I will wait for you in Utopia and hope to see you again."
After speaking, he turned around, left the house, and entered the street.
Throughout the process, Wendell seemed to be frozen and turned into a statue, standing there without blinking.
After another ten seconds, he finally woke up from his nightmare, his body fell a little softly to the side, and he propped his right hand to the door.
Just now, he was so afraid, that Byers forced himself back to a Utopia that did not exist at all.
As a result, Wendel didn't know if he still had a chance to leave, maybe just disappeared forever like that.
This was more frightening than the sudden violence, which could not predict what would happen but the apparently bad ending.
"Hurry up and report this up! Grab the Utopian policeman, find out the real situation in this weird town, and find a suitable way to solve the problem completely!" Prepare to inform the MI9 personnel who are secretly monitoring them.
At this time, he finally found that he had a big problem with the response just now. He didn't seize the opportunity and informed the colleague in the dark of the visiting police problem with the agreed gesture. Moreover, he did not make use of his former expertise as an intelligence officer, and asked without a trace which Bailes hotel in Beckland lived in, and what day and time the ticket was booked.
He was so frightened that he could only subconsciously adopt a response that would not cause an accident.
Thinking of this, Wendell stepped out of the door and glanced in the direction that Byers left, but he did not see the other side's back.
The Utopia policeman has been integrated into the carriages and pedestrians that pass by.
Withdrawing his gaze, Wendell looked down at the paper in his hand, and suddenly he was a little hesitant:
"After two weeks, what would happen if I did not testify in Utopia?"
Wendell became more and more afraid, and his calf became weak again. He was busy making gestures to inform his colleagues who were hiding around.
…………
9 Belotto Street, West End.
Hugh was shocked and confused when he learned that Utopia residents came to Bakerland.
According to her previous observations, utopia should be hidden in a secret place, or between reality and illusory, and let outsiders enter and exit through random entrances.
As for why outsiders should be allowed in and out, it should be a ritual requirement.
Therefore, in Hugh's perception, the residents of the Utopia should not leave their hometown and run around.
Is this also a requirement of the ceremony? What are the true identities of these residents, a follower of Mr. Fool, a companion of Gullman Spallo of the World? After asking about the general appearance of Utopian visitors, due to lack of further information, he had to return to MI9 headquarters first, hesitating whether to send his subordinates for a large-scale search.
She wasn't sure if Mr. World was willing to see such behavior, and she was worried that it would affect that ceremony.
After taking a few steps back and forth in the office, Hugh prepared to pray to Mr. Fool, asking him to refer his question to "World" Gullman Spallo.
As he walked to the chair, Hugh's eyes glanced over the report on the table.
It was an investigation report made by her two subordinates. On the one hand, it was confirmed that there were no problems with the passengers who successfully arrived in Bakerland, and on the other hand, it was pointed out that one passenger was stranded in utopia.
The passenger ... Have a restless look and have a guess by virtue of his intuition:
The Utopia resident came to Bakerland for his own purpose, not to run around, and his purpose is likely to be related to a passenger who had left the Utopia before.
This ... Hugh was shocked, sat down quickly, and tried to pray.
Just then, the door of her office was knocked.
"... Please come in." Hugh hesitated.
As the door opened, Hugh saw Locke with a bushel of goatees and Wendel, the first person in the utopian incident.
"Colonel, Wendell met someone from Utopia, and he came directly to visit!" Locke said in a chaotic order.
Such a development was also unexpected.
Sure enough ... Hugh was not only not surprised, but secretly relieved.
She looked at Wendel:
"Why does he visit you?"
"He, please ask me to testify in Utopia to testify for the Tracy homicide case mentioned in my report." Compared to the previous case, Wendell has been significantly calmer.
He then added:
"He's a policeman named Byers. I didn't dare ask him where he lived, when he was going to leave, and which steam train he planned to take."
In order to show his importance, Hugh stood up and thought about it:
"Rock, summon members of your squad immediately, look for taxi drivers who often wait for guests around Wendel's apartment, and public coach drivers who pass by nearby areas and ask if they have seen Byers, and if so, have the other party Where, and also, send someone to the steam train station, wait at the entrance and observe the passengers ... "
After ordering his subordinates, Hugh turned to look at Wendel:
"Cooperate with them and draw Byers' look."
"Yes, Colonel." Locke and Wendel responded at the same time.
When they went out, closed the door, Hugh sat down again and began to pray.
Soon, she got a response from Mr. Fool and saw Gullman Sparo, the "world" praying in the fog.
Gelman Sparo told her:
"You can investigate normally.
"The ritual speculation can be made when necessary, but it must be included in several options."
Hugh breathed a sigh of relief and waited patiently for reports from the subordinates.
When night came, Locke returned to Belotto Street and reported to Hugh Hui:
"We found a taxi driver who carried that utopian!"
"Huh?" Hugh showed his concern.
Locke briefly states:
"The Utopian named Byers originally wanted the coachman to go to the dock area, but as soon as the carriage entered the corresponding area, he asked to get off, saying it had arrived.
"That street is quite strange to the driver, which makes him feel lost.
"When he left that street, he found that he was getting familiar again.
"Our people accompanied him to go there again, but he couldn't find the street."
Hugh nodded slightly and said solemnly:
"This is in line with the description of entering and leaving utopia in the previous case."
"Colonel, do you mean that you can enter or leave Utopia on any street in any city?" Locke was still a little unbelievable.
Hugh pondered:
"It seems to be the case at the moment, but I always find it a little bit wrong, um ... how does Utopia connect with different places, and what does it rely on to locate ..."
As the voice faded, Hugh told Locke:
"Go tell Wendell that he will spend the next two weeks until that paper expires."
"Okay, Colonel." Locke immediately turned and left Hugh's office.
With regard to Colonel Dilza's arrangements, Wendel had no opinion, and it can even be said that he could only find a sense of security only at MI-9 headquarters.
His temporary accommodation is a slightly modified night watch room, through which you can see the lawn, garden and trees outside.
Glancing away, Wendell saw a blackened crow, standing on a branch, looking at it quietly.
…………
Bancy at night was extremely gloomy, and the crows or other seabirds echoed from time to time.
Verdur stood at the window, looking at the dilapidated dock nearing and the dead city that had become ruins, and the pressure in his heart grew stronger.
After a few days of maritime voyages, his ship was about to arrive at Banxi Port.
The captain had told Verdu during the day that they would only wait for two hours. Beyond this time, Verdu could only wait for the next boat on the no-crowded island.
Inhaling, Verduil looked back and took off his coat.
Then he opened the trunk, took out a black robe with a classic charm, and put it on his body.
The surface of this robe is embroidered with gold and silver threads, inlaid with a variety of rice-size stones, and is a seal belonging to the Abraham family.
After being prepared, Verdu left the pirate ship and entered Banxi Port.
On the way, the classical robe tightened from time to time, making his face purple and approaching syncope.
While walking, Verdu found the original Banxi Telegraph Bureau according to the map he bought. When he saw two still bright red traces on the open space in the middle of the collapsed building, it seemed that two people were crushed into meat sauce After staying.
Next to these two shadows, on a broken wall, an octopus head monster wearing armor, pedalling waves, and holding a trident in hand was engraved.
Verdu raises the lantern in his hand and is about to observe carefully, and suddenly feels that a drop of cold liquid has fallen on his neck.
He was startled in his heart, and reached out his hand subconsciously and touched it, only to feel that it was sticky, not like rain, and had no color, not blood.
It's a bit like saliva ... Verdu's forehead jumped slightly, slowly looking up, looking at the place where the drop of liquid might fall.
It was a dark night sky without the moon and stars.
