Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 258 Arrodes's debut was frustrated
"Extra! Extra! 'Vice Admiral Hurricane' Qilingos was shot dead in Backlund! He died on the same day as Mr. X, an important member of the Aurora Society!"

Although the newspaper did not understand why two vicious wanted criminals died at the same time in the East District, it did not stop them from using such a headline.

What is the most important thing about news? It should be eye-catching!
As long as it attracts people to buy the newspaper, what does it matter if the headline is a little shocking?
Compared to the Intis Post, which was founded by Emperor Roselle, this title is not so sensational.

It’s good that he didn’t imply that Qi Lingos died for love with Mr. X like third-rate romance writers do!

Moreover, the newspaper's content was not wrong to a certain extent; "Lieutenant General Hurricane" Qilingos and Mr. X did die on the same day.

Even their deaths were indeed the product of Star's efficient "speedrun" of Backlund.

Discussing from this perspective, the newspaper did indeed accidentally reveal the truth.

As for the other person who died that day, the Master Luo who died in a tragic and heroic way?

Sorry, his death went unnoticed.

Perhaps there were, such as Baker, who was originally protected by him. As his superior, he sent Master Luo out to carry out tasks, and during this time he enjoyed the beauties of the Loen Kingdom, and his life was very comfortable.

But now, Master Luo's death, and Meursault's revealing his identity as an "undercover" to "MI9".

Under these double circumstances, he could no longer serve as an ambassador and had to return home in disgrace.

It's just that Becker's intelligence analysis ability, enhanced by the "conspirator", and his nose for conspiracy:
Including Rosago, Backlund killed three Sequence 5s in one day. What force was behind this?
(If “Creeping Hunger” is regarded as the personal strength of “Vice Admiral Hurricane” Qilingos, it can also be regarded as a Sequence 5 combat force)
It seems like the water in Backlund is becoming increasingly muddy...

Even Baker had an absurd idea: Maybe it would be a good thing for him to return home?
Of course, this kind of groundless speculation can only be regarded as speculation. If the inexplicable report of "MI9" and the death of Rosago and others had not occurred on the same day, Backlund would not understand what happened in Backlund in just one day until his death.
There is no possibility of finding the truth...

But he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried: What kind of "conspiracy" was behind this that was so deeply involved?

Could it be a high-sequence "audience" who is good at planning and has a lot of first-hand information?
But this doesn't make sense. What kind of opponent would be worthy of such careful planning by a "spectator"?

And how did the "opponent" of the "audience" know this information and crack it one by one within a day?

Bakerrand racked his brains but couldn't figure it out. Assuming this story was true: what reasonable reason could explain why that person was able to be alert and see through the "coincidences" of the "audience" and solve them all with foresight?

What the "conspirator" Backram couldn't figure out was what the "Mechanical Heart" team sent by the Church of Steam had to deal with directly at the scene of the crime.

It is even more difficult to reveal the truth.

Too many things happened on this day, whether it was the death of "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Qilingos, or the destruction of Mr. X, an important member of the Aurora Society, and a group of suspected important members of the Aurora Society's Backlund branch.

All of these were thrown onto them as they were the first to receive the report.

According to the unspoken rules of the three major churches regarding supernatural events: matters involving extraordinary people need to be divided according to faith and jurisdiction, among which faith plays a priority role.

And judging from the attitude of the lady who first informed the Steam Church of the unusual changes here and asked the Steam Church to deal with these corpses, there is no doubt that these two extraordinary events need to be handled by the "Heart of Steam".

In fact, the Steam Church didn't have to deal with the Aurora Society. The Storm Church was even interested in intervening in the case of the pirate Qilingos, who had repeatedly challenged the authority of the Storm Church on the sea and was known as the "Vice Admiral of the Hurricane." However, when one of the cardinals of the Storm Church, the Archbishop of the Backlund Diocese, "God's Singer" Ace Snake, arrived at the scene, Horamick Hayden, the head and Archbishop of the Backlund Diocese of the Steam Church, had already arrived in the East District with the Mechanical Heart Elite Team. They had even collected the bodies and were preparing to send people to inspect the scene.

In other words, the flowers have already cooled down, and Brother Storm is late again without even being able to catch the exhaust gas.

Naturally, it was not their turn to deal with these two matters, and they even took the credit for killing "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Qilingos and destroying the Aurora Society Backlund represented by Mr. X, all on the shoulders of the Storm Church.

Even so, it does not mean that the "Mechanical Heart" members of the Steam Church who are responsible for investigating the matter are willing to do this.

Even seeing that the scene was so clean that it didn't look like a battle had taken place, the members of "Mechanical Heart" all had complicated expressions.

This means: either the opponent killed Qi Lingos, Mr. X and others in an instant, or the power he used was of the type that no traces could be detected at the scene.

Judging from the situation of the Church of Night next door, it seems that they know something, but they just won't say it.

In desperation, Ikanser, the captain of the "Mechanical Heart" team, took out an ancient silver mirror with strange patterns from a special pocket on the inside of his clothes and called everyone in the team.

After all, the archbishop seems unable to determine the truth of the two scenes through divination and other means, and it is even possible that neither of these is the first scene.

In this case, the only way to obtain effective information is to turn to the silver mirror in your hand.

After finishing the preliminary work and taking a breath, the butler with a hard-lined face held the silver mirror in his hand and asked with a gloomy face:
"Dear Arrodes, my question is, who were the participants in the battle that took place here yesterday?"

As Ikanser asked the question, the lights around him suddenly became darker, and the whole house suddenly darkened, as if stained with the mist after the rain. A strange water light flashed on the surface of the silver mirror, and then a phantom, distorted and blurred picture quickly appeared.

The Extraordinaries from the elite team "Mechanical Heart" gathered around to take a closer look, and then looked at the illusory picture with layers of water light, which still did not reveal any content.

So everyone looked at each other in surprise:
No clue?
Even the sealed object of Arrodes cannot know what happened?
What kind of dangerous existence was involved, so Arrodes couldn't see it clearly, or simply couldn't get a glimpse of it?
As the scene could not move forward again and again, the "water light" flowing in the silver mirror of Arrodes quickly faded.

Then, blood-red words squirmed and outlined on the mirror, looking extremely terrifying:

"Malicious question!"

"Punish immediately!"

"boom!"

After the words on the silver mirror appeared rapidly, a silver-white lightning appeared out of nowhere and struck Ikanser's head.

Hiss, hiss, Ikanser's hair stood up straight, he fell down with a bang, his body twitching, and some black smoke came out.

——Arrodes directly hit him with a bolt of lightning.
