Chapter 312 Holding a Tarot Meeting
Robert remained silent, unsure how to begin. He had underestimated George III's determination to push forward with the reforms and to ensure the completion of the ceremony!
"If he really did it, then why are you willing to take responsibility for investigating the leak? Did he order you to clean up his mess?"
Evan gently shook his head, then solemnly said to Robert:
"No, this matter will eventually turn out to be a mess, and nothing will be found out. At most, a few minor figures will be implicated."
Although this was an inevitable outcome, I really wanted to secretly find out who had leaked the information!
Why?
Robert frowned, not understanding why Evan wanted to investigate this.
Since George III has already been identified as the mastermind, what's the point of investigating the source of the leak?
"Today I learned through clandestine channels that the demon was seduced by a secret organization with a blasphemous card, which led him to abandon his years of accumulated power and risk everything to kill Duke Negan!"
"Wait, you said a secret organization, not a person? Is the information accurate? What kind of organization is it? It's not a witch cult, is it?"
Robert quickly grasped the meaning behind Evan's words: if the demon was commissioned by the Augustus family, then the Augustus family must have secretly sent someone to contact him.
But if a secret organization secretly commissioned Jason Beria, it means that George III had a collaborator besides the Witch Cult, a deeper partner in the dark!
"It's not the Witch Cult. The demon accomplice I found for Archbishop Snake at the docks was a witch. Based on the latest information, she doesn't know the details of the whole plan either; she only knows she received orders from above. And it seems the higher-ups in the Witch Cult don't know the specific details either!"
"You mean George III had a deep cooperative relationship with a secret organization, and this organization was even subtly influencing many things, including George III's cooperation with the Witch Cult?"
Robert found it absurd that such an action involving a ritual of deification was not guided by the opinions of the person involved!
"That's right, that's my conclusion. Behind George III's ascension to the title of 'Black Emperor,' there's a force subtly orchestrating all of this!"
Moreover, this force is extremely powerful, as can be seen from the resources they can control. Whether it's Hurricane General Ziringus, Jason Beria, or the Blasphemy Token as a reward, these are not things that ordinary organizations can provide!
This demonstrates not only the depth of their resource mobilization but also the breadth of their control over resources.
At least in my opinion, the Augustus family couldn't possibly mobilize two extraordinary world powerhouses who appear to have no connection whatsoever so easily!
To reiterate, those at Sequence 5 are already capable of establishing secret organizations on smaller accounts; they are no longer insignificant figures!
Robert pondered for a moment and realized that Evan's words made sense.
"So you publicly took on the task of investigating the Security Department to clean up George III's mess, but actually used it as a cover to investigate the whereabouts of that secret organization?"
No, I just wanted to use this action to signal to Adam that I wanted to make contact. After all, you and I are both on Adam's list, and we can't hide our actions from him!
Although that's what Evan thought in his heart, he outwardly nodded in agreement with Robert's words!
"Then you need to be careful. Since this secretive organization is so mysterious, they should have corresponding security measures in place."
Even if you use George III as a cover, you still need to be extremely careful, understand?
Robert absolutely cannot tolerate the fact that the Third Prince has truly become the "Black Emperor," so investigating the secret organization supporting him is imperative.
At the same time, he also knew that the case of Duke Negan was the best breakthrough in investigating this secret organization, so he had no reason to stop Evan's operation, but he was still worried about Evan's safety!
"Don't worry, I'm confident!"
Judging from Adam's past attitudes, Evan is confident in his own safety!
"The secret channel you mentioned, you wouldn't happen to be that mysterious 'Black Emperor' spirit that the Church of the Night announced, would you? And is that mysterious spirit the one that stole the blasphemous tablet from the museum?"
In Evan's description, there are many details that only Jason Beria knows, and the one who ultimately kills Jason Beria is a mysterious spirit. Therefore, Robert easily connects this spirit with the secret channel that Evan mentioned!
What bothered him even more was that this mysterious spirit had to impersonate the "Black Emperor," and just a few days ago he had been trying to obtain the "Black Emperor" blasphemous token and had encountered a mysterious spirit at the museum. It was absolutely impossible for him to believe that the two were not connected!
Furthermore, given Evan's confident assurance that he would obtain the blasphemous card, Robert suspected that Evan was hiding something from him besides the Aurora Society, the Witch Cult, and the Gnostic Society!
Evan rubbed his nose and could only use the Goddess of the Night as an excuse to brush it off, while promising him that he would get the Blasphemy Token for him before the afternoon of the 10th!
Robert felt helpless, but he could only let Evan off the hook. After all, Evan was not only his brother, but also the object of the goddess's affections. He couldn't possibly tell him everything. He could only say with some disappointment:
"In short, you must be careful not to put yourself in danger!"
After finishing his conversation with Evan, Robert didn't linger. After all, so many important things had happened today, and there was so much he needed to handle. It was already a struggle for him to spare a few minutes to come to Evan's office.
After watching Robert's carriage leave through the window, Evan said to Helen, who was standing behind him:
"Tell your mother the details of Duke Negan's assassination as soon as possible. I believe she will be very interested in it. You can also take this opportunity to tell her that you have started preparing for pregnancy and a future promotion. I believe she will be very happy!"
Helen, dressed in a tight-fitting military uniform and wearing a beret at an angle, felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing this.
The previous instructions were understandable, but the pregnancy was far too significant, which basically indicated that Evan had begun plotting against her mother.
Although she felt a pang of sadness, Helen agreed without hesitation!
Evan turned around, put his hand on Helen's shoulder, patted her to comfort her, and then left his office to go to the underground security office to begin his investigation!
Meanwhile, Klein also arrived at St. Samuel's Church and sat in the dimly lit prayer hall to pray to the goddess.
He didn't pray too directly; he just offered a simple prayer, praying that he could find the pituitary gland of the Thousand-Faced Hunter as soon as possible so that he could be promoted to "Faceless Man" quickly!
After Klein prayed several times, he still did not feel any revelation from the goddess, which made him doubt his previous guesses!
After donating five pounds to the donation box, Klein left the church somewhat dejectedly, aimlessly boarded a public carriage, and let it take him away.
Why didn't the goddess respond to me? Did I guess wrong before?
"No, that's impossible. Since Evan is a favorite of the goddess, she must have paid special attention to him. Whether it's the phantom of the mysterious city on Evan's body or the mark of the gray mist, there's no reason why it could be hidden from the gods who stand at the top of the world!"
"What is the goddess's attitude towards me? If she doesn't value me, then what's the point of raising a mermaid?"
Klein was in a state of turmoil, constantly examining and reflecting on his previous guesses, wondering if he had overlooked anything.
Just then, the public carriage suddenly braked, and everyone inside was thrown forward involuntarily. Many were in a terrible state, but Klein managed to keep his balance thanks to the 'Clown's' ability to maintain his balance.
"What happened? Do you even know how to drive?!"
Some short-tempered passengers started swearing, and the coachman leaned in and apologized repeatedly.
"Excuse me, there were a lot of people suddenly crossing the road ahead, I was caught off guard and had to stop abruptly!"
Klein rolled down the car window and saw that there were indeed many people crossing the road, men, women, and children, and judging from their clothing...
They were all quite poor.
Klein was very curious, so he stopped a woman through the window and asked her:
"What happened up ahead? Why are you all running so fast!"
"There's a free medical clinic up ahead, it's free!"
The woman gave only a brief explanation before leaving with her child.
"Free medical consultation?"
Klein was a little confused. What was so attractive about a free clinic?
Having been in this world for quite some time, Klein knew that whether it was the church or the charitable organizations established with donations from nobles and wealthy merchants, they often organized free medical clinics. Although these attracted many people, none of them had caused such a sensation as this.
Curiosity led Klein to follow the people to a secluded street, where he discovered a church with an unfamiliar decorative style at the end of the street. At the end of the church stood a young man with red eyes, treating people while distributing some simply printed pictures.
Klein pushed his way through the crowd and finally reached the front, only to see that everyone who had finished their treatment had several pictures of herbs in their hands.
"Just follow the pictures and go to the countryside to collect and plant some herbs; that will be able to treat some simple illnesses."
If you could all read, I wouldn't have to go through all this trouble!
The red-eyed priest in his robes spoke arrogantly as he took the pulse.
The people around him complimented him and expressed their gratitude, while also making sure to remember the proportions of the herbs in the picture, just as the young man had instructed!
Klein, who finally got a clear look at the young priest, also realized that he actually knew this kind-hearted priest!
It turns out that a few days ago, when communicating with the detectives gathered by Essinger Stanton, someone distributed a portrait of this priest, saying that he was a young man who had run away from home!
He remembered the young man's name: Emlyn White!
Looking at the busy red-eyed young man, Klein sensed through his spiritual intuition that he was an extraordinary being, and of a high rank!
Thinking back to the information about vampires he had seen while working as a Night Watchman, Klein couldn't help but suspect that he was a real vampire.
The vampires, a race with an ancient history that even surpasses that of humans, must possess many treasures, perhaps even including the pituitary gland of the extinct Thousand-Faced Hunter.
"Could this be the goddess's response to me?"
Queens, Earl Hall.
Watching Earl Hall still summoning various people to discuss how to clean up the mess, Audrey couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
She never imagined that Duke Negan, who had already survived two assassination attempts and was on guard, would still fall into the hands of a despicable schemer.
Having grown up in a noble family, Audrey also realized that the death of Duke Negan was not simple.
This made her truly realize the dangers of politics, and at the same time, she worried about Earl Hall, who, like Duke Negan, held a key position.
Although the Church of the Night Goddess strengthened its protection of Earl Hall's family, Duke Negan was also under the close protection of the Church of the Storm.
Therefore, the protection of the Church of the Goddess of Night was not so reliable for Audrey.
This also gave Audrey the urge to get promoted as soon as possible to protect her family.
Before this, Audrey's purchase of formula materials and her active promotion were all driven by her personal interests and hobbies!
Mr. Evan's clues are very useful. The Psychological Alchemy Society has noticed that I want to become an "audience" and has already started sending Ms. Islant to test me. I guess it won't be long before they formally invite me to join.
This matter will be shared at the afternoon tarot meeting to seek the opinions of Mr. Fool and the other members.
Whether it's Mr. Hanged Man, or Evan, Fors, and Hugh, they are all very experienced and should be able to give me a lot of advice!
Mr. Fool has always been interested in the secret organization that orchestrated the assassination of Duke Negan. When Zilingus attempted to assassinate Duke Negan, he even sent a follower to the scene. I wonder if he knew anything about the legendary "Black Emperor" who was supposedly involved in the cover-up?
Earl Hall received the report of the Duke of Negan's assassination yesterday and learned the details.
When Earl Hall found out, Audrey, as his 'psychiatrist,' naturally found out as well!
Because the incident in the original story where Klein fired the cannon at Kapin had not yet occurred, Audrey was unaware of the relationship between the "Black Emperor" and the Tarot Society, so she also judged that the "Black Emperor" was trying to silence her!
Audrey glanced at her grandfather clock and realized it was already 14:30 PM; the tarot reading was scheduled for half an hour later.
He found a pre-prepared excuse and went back to his bedroom!
Having obtained the final master material from Emlyn White and successfully advanced to Sequence 6 'Faceless Man', Klein took four steps backward from his home and entered the gray fog to inform 'Sun' Derrick of the upcoming meeting!
