Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 216 A Deeper Connection

The brightest star in the night sky twinkled, and a veil of darkness embroidered with stars fell on Lewis and covered him.

Then, the starry sky gradually became transparent, revealing the blazing afternoon sun, and a female voice appeared like a dream:
"The River of Eternal Darkness."

"Yes, I will look for it as soon as possible." Lewis hurriedly assured the goddess, although he had no clues at all.

As Amon and the Goddess of Night left one after another, only pools of blood and dead bodies remained at the scene.

The tree transformed by Amon stood there, its branches and flowers swaying, stretching out its slender branches and leaves, as if looking for a target.

At the same time, the tree exudes decadent desires, as if attracting someone to approach it.

"Someone from the church should be here soon. Whether it's Amon's clone or the power of the Goddess of Night, it will alert the relevant organizations."

Lewis was not in a good mood when he thought about being interrogated. What if the person who came was from the Storm Church?
Judging from the current situation, the Lord of Storms hates him very much and might take this opportunity to take revenge.

"Should I contact Bonois Gustav? For now, the God of Steam and Machinery has been showing me goodwill. This is better than falling into the hands of the Lord of Storms and the Eternal Sun."

The next moment, Lewis looked into the distance and muttered to himself:
"Are the first group of people here the police? There don't seem to be any extraordinary people mixed in with them."

A few minutes later, a carriage with a logo of "Paulownia leaves and paulownia flowers intertwined, surrounded by two swords" stopped not far away. This was the logo of the Index police system.

Three men got off the carriage, holding rubber batons for riot control, and they were not even qualified to carry pistols.

It was obvious that the three people who came were only the lowest-qualified police officers, equivalent to local police officers.

"What's going on? I think you need to explain it!" The pot-bellied policeman walked in front. He looked at the pools of blood on the ground, took out relevant documents and asked.

"Officer, please don't go any further," Lewis warned, tapping his cane.

He had seen the eyes of these policemen gradually become blurred. It was obvious that they were attracted by the "Mother Tree of Desire". If they continued to move forward, they would definitely do something ugly.

"What's your attitude?" The pot-bellied policeman grabbed Lewis by the collar angrily. Suddenly, he took a few steps back and looked at the gun on Lewis' waist.

"You are illegally carrying a gun. Looks like you have to come with me, you bastard!" The policeman toughened his attitude, and the contempt and anger in his tone became more and more obvious.

It is obvious that these policemen have been affected by the power of the Mother Tree of Desire, revealing their rough and conceited side.

Lewis had no choice but to raise his hands. He didn't want to conflict with local officials. Now these ordinary people were contaminated by the Mother Tree of Desire and might take extreme actions at any time.

However, being taken away by ordinary police is not a bad thing. I believe that someone from the Steam Church will find him soon and bail him out.

Lewis handed over his revolver, put on an exquisite silver bracelet, and stepped into the carriage.

The policemen seemed to be attracted by the tree and remained where they were, unwilling to leave. One of them even put his head in the flower, appearing to be enjoying it very much.

About a minute later, another carriage with a police logo appeared in sight, and Lewis discovered that there were several extraordinary people on this carriage.

A tall young man in an inspector's uniform got off the carriage and coughed heavily.

The three policemen, immersed in desire, quickly turned around and greeted the inspector respectfully.

"Inspector, we are handling a case. What can I do for you?"

The young inspector said coldly: "Leave this matter to us. You can leave now and hand over the relevant personnel to us."

"Okay." The pot-bellied policeman quickly agreed. He walked back to the carriage, called Lewis down, and handed over the revolver.

Before leaving, he took a reluctant look at the trees that brought him happiness.

Lewis simply changed a carriage. Looking at the four young inspectors in front of him, he guessed that they were most likely from the church. He just didn't know which church they were from, as long as it wasn't the Storm Church.

"Mr. Lewis, what happened here?" asked the tall young man who had just sent the police away.

"Do you know me?" Lewis looked at the other party in surprise. It was obvious that this extraordinary team was not the Punishers of the Storm Church.

"Of course, your great achievements have been recognized by God and even written into the doctrine. I admire you very much." The inspector handed Lewis a cup of simply packaged coffee and started chatting with Lewis in the carriage.

Knowing that the other party was a member of the Mechanical Heart, Lewis relaxed a little. He told everything he could, except for the high-level secrets.

As they listened, the expressions of the four members of the Mechanical Heart became more and more solemn. They realized that the level involved in this matter was too high and it was far beyond the ability of a Sequence Seven to handle.

"Sorry, please wait a moment. I need to inform my superiors before deciding whether to release you." The young inspector rang the telegraph.

After a few minutes, the inspector turned back and said to Lewis:
“Mr. Lewis, you can leave now. The Archbishop will come to handle things here.”

"Okay, please."

Lewis breathed a sigh of relief. It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon and he wondered if he could still make it to the Tarot gathering this week.

He removed the bracelet, picked up the pistol and left.

Suddenly, Lewis turned around and looked at the only female member of the Mechanical Heart team.

I saw that the other person's eyes were blurred and his breathing was a little heavy.

"It's obvious that she's also been contaminated by the Mother Tree of Desire, but why is the object of her desire me?"

Lewis frowned. He himself was contaminated by the Mother Tree of Desire. Perhaps this contamination had already affected people in reality.

Before Amon disappeared, he said that the Mother Tree of Desire had established a deeper connection with him.

After walking for a while, Lewis found a restaurant on the side of the road, went into the bathroom and locked the door.

I hope today's Tarot Club will end soon, otherwise he will occupy the bathroom for a long time.

Just after three o'clock, a deep red burst appeared in front of Lewis' eyes, and dense whispers appeared in his ears.

Passing through the gray fog, he saw a palace built in the gray fog that looked like a giant’s residence. He also saw Mr. Fool sitting at the top of a long bronze table, always looking down on everything.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Destiny..."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool..."

With Audrey's greeting, the new week's Tarot Club started.
