The Secret Code of Monsters.

Chapter 465: Planning
Shandel Kratov fell into a dream.

She was in the basement of the church, below the place where Roland had been recuperating.

Louis Heyman told him that the news was just news and the deal ended here - he couldn't help Roland enter the Holy Cross, and Heyman couldn't come forward to help an executive officer.

He said that the Holy Cross would no longer send ritualists into that dreamland.

They discussed and considered informing other sects of this special situation—

In other words.

Like paying to visit a lunatic asylum.

Holy Cross prepares to use Cinder Kratov to recover its losses.

"Maybe I thought too badly of the Holy Cross?" Louis said jokingly, "Maybe, maybe they really want to introduce other sects just to save a few ritualists including Kratov... Maybe? Maybe the Father of All Things loves them?"

"Don't blaspheme my God, pagan." Roland said lightly: "I think this method is too late. We shouldn't have sent the Holy Cross ritualists into the dream in the first place - since other sects are so interested..."

Louis Hyman stared at Roland, his gaze seeming to penetrate his eyes.

"Look, Roland."

"I knew you were just like me."

"We are different...different...different..."
-
To shut up.

"There are similar voices in the parliament. Guess why they didn't do it." Louis plucked the musical note earring and said in a faint voice, "I advise you not to get involved, Roland. That dream is definitely not simple."

"I don't know what your relationship is with Shandel Kratov. In any case, it's not worth risking your life for a woman."

Louis Heyman curled the corners of his mouth.

"Women are everywhere, Roland Collins."

In order to gain something, you have to give up something.

Over the years, Louis Heyman has been learning all the time.

In his opinion, Roland had been made too naive by his affluent life and specially favored fate, so that he did not understand what true despair was.

"You'll always know I'm right."

He told Roland that since he had never known about this matter from the beginning, he could just continue to pretend that he didn't know about it - wait until Cinder Kratov died, attend the funeral, cry a few times, and then he would have a tragic past worth telling about.

'You don't know what I've been through! My teammates died in my dreams!'

This is a wonderful saying, it can embellish your appearance just like beautiful clothes.

"At the same time, apologize for this deception, I think Ms. Judiya will also compensate you." Louis spread his hands: "Perfect approach. If you are a smart person, you should play the most promising role.

"A good boy who never gave up on his teammates, but was just deceived, right?"

Louis whispered, induced, or 'guided' Roland to the path he had walked before.

A path chosen by smart people who assess the situation.

"I occasionally try other roles. For example, a lady, a wheel, a cake, a city wall, etc." Roland stood up with his cane, tapped the carpet twice, and bent down slightly: "Thank you, Louis. I think I know what to do."

He said goodbye and turned to leave.

Leaving behind the moody red-haired man.

pat.

The door was closed from the outside.

The scented candles in the room flatter its discerning owner.

Even with the window open, I still felt a little stuffy.

Louis Heyman drums his fingers on his knees.

There was a click.

The glass beside him was shattered by an invisible blade.

The fragrant offal flowed from the tabletop onto the carpet, staining the woolen gold red.

"madness."

He said.

"Naive and stupid." He thought that Roland had obviously never experienced the real and extreme danger, and the "danger" he had experienced so far was just playing house with his captain who had a mystical organ.

When he lay on a tray, he was marinated, sprinkled with spices, roasted, and served.

Maybe then, he could really learn something.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance.

"Will fate always favor someone as foolish and naive as you?"

The man muttering to himself narrowed his eyes, becoming more and more interested in the toy.

…………

……

Roland had a headache.

"You acted so big, now you're embarrassed."
-
How do I get underground?
-
Get hurt again?

"Don't forget why you were injured last time - the Holy Cross needs to show off to those big shots."

"Besides, what kind of injuries do you think would warrant going underground?"
-
Well…
-
A mental or spiritual problem?
"You can try taking off your clothes and dancing in front of the church."
-
I didn't offend you today.

Roland knew that since Enid would not tell him what happened to Cinder, it would be impossible for him to get help from her now.

As for Fernandez…

It was hard to say whether he had such power in the church - considering Enid's side, Roland also thought that the probability that he was unaware of Shandel's situation was very small.
-
I'm not a smart person.

"You're almost not even human anymore."

Roland: ...
-
I mean, I need some help. With my head.

"Your little foot snitch can't help you much. Has she learned multiplication now?"
-
Maybe. But when it comes to stealing, Rose is probably as good as the best scholars.

"That's true."
-
We can't wait too long, once the Holy Cross makes a decision, we will have to face ritualists from other sects.
-
Stealing an object and stealing a person are different in difficulty, but in essence they are not much different.

"But stealing is more exciting."

Roland:? -
Are you saying dirty words again?

"I have to remind you, Roland. Shandel Kratov has fallen into an unknown dream. You should have heard from Louis Hyman about the fate of those ritualists. I know my words are useless in this matter, but I still have to warn you."

"Be prepared to lose two lives."
-
Mine, and yours.

"That's right."

"The rules have changed. We don't know if the ritualists who are sleeping can wake up again..."
-
I thought you would advise me to stay out of it.

The flames were still for a moment.

It immediately burned violently.

"I've been telling you to stay out of this since the beginning! But you've always been involved in everything! I've noticed that you're not only a slut with your mouth, but you're also a slut with your hands, you always try to get involved in everything—"

came back.

The familiar feeling is back.
-
That's more like you.

"You and I can only go to hell, bitch cat. You better cherish my life."
-
We'll live to wrinkly age together, spanner.

"You're the only one who wrinkles."

……

Roland plans to discuss this with Rose.

Considering one's own identity and the attitude of the church, some methods are not so legal.

He thought there was no problem on the first floor and there was a way to sneak in.

But it was obviously not that easy underground: the last time he noticed, the path leading underground seemed to be guarded by someone, and there might be some kind of ritual.

Just like that 'Whitehall'.

Roland walked out while thinking. At this moment, he could never have imagined that an unexpected person would help him a lot.
