Conan: Start with three choices, but sequence potion

Chapter 164 Two New Members of the Aurora Society

"Where is this?"

The corridor was pitch black, and the voice of Kogoro Mori sounded faintly, clearly audible amidst the noise of their footsteps.

However, this question has not been answered.

Gin was too lazy to talk, while Kuroba Kaito simply had no idea of the situation.

Finally, after several twists and turns, a faint light came into their sight.

That was the secret room where Gin first woke up. The candles that formed a strange pattern in the center had burned out, but the flames did not dissipate with them. Instead, they danced in the air.

A thick layer of wax piled on the ground, with floating flames forming discontinuous lines that vaguely outlined the outline of the sun.

And in the center of the sun is an inverted cross that is wrapped and bound by it.

The flames burned fiercely, and as the three people got closer, they suddenly shot up higher, merging into a huge fireball, and then blooming like a bouquet of flowers.

A fortune teller in formal attire jumped out from among them, casually adjusted his bow tie, and looked at them with a gentle smile.

"welcome."

He nodded meaningfully to Gin: "I told you that you would come back."

"Why are you helping us?" Gin ignored his riddle and was full of vigilance. "Also, what do you and the 'world' mean by 'old survivors'?"

He reached into his pocket and gently grasped the Beretta. Although this did not give him much sense of security, it was better than nothing.

"Why should I help you?" The fortune teller's face suddenly blurred for a moment. His brown eyes were filled with piety and tranquility. He made an inverted cross on his chest. "The teachings of our Lord are, 'salvation will eventually come.'"

"As for the 'old remnants'."

He chuckled and shook his head: "It's a secret."

Gin chewed on the word "secret". For some reason, he always felt that it not only meant "secret", but also concealed other deeper meanings.

"Well, these irrelevant topics are not suitable for hospitality." The fortune teller poked his cane lightly, "How about believing in the great Lord?"

"We in the Aurora Society have mastered a complete method for the sacrificial ritual that you are so obsessed with and are willing to take risks for."

"If we believe in the sun god, will you give us the sacrificial method?" asked Kuroba Kaito.

“No.” The fortune teller shook his head. “Even if you don’t believe in my Lord, I will teach you the Sequence 9 sacrificial method of the Holy Spirit Path.”

"Why?" Kuroba Kaito was puzzled, "Aren't you afraid that we might sell it back?"

"That's even better." The fortune teller laughed.

After just a little thought, Gin understood the deeper meaning behind it.

It can be seen from the extraordinary gathering that even those who are rich and have resources can only search for the "right way to God" on the surface.

The "Holy Spirit" path mentioned by the fortune tellers is undoubtedly not one of them, but a clear "path of evil gods."

Not to mention selling it, as long as people know that your extraordinary path is the "evil god's path", you will inevitably be liquidated by several righteous churches.

"Choice" Gin understood the underlying logic of the extraordinary operation of this world.

The most important thing is choice. "In choosing a path, you choose your enemies and your friends."

This is why fortune tellers are so generous in "investing" in them.

If you choose to take the "Holy Spirit" path, even if you do not believe in the Sun God, in the eyes of others you have become a member of the evil god organization and will not be tolerated by the powerful righteous church.

In the end, he would only come to the side of the Aurora Society.

Same way.

"I will first teach you some languages that have extraordinary power. This kind of knowledge is valuable currency in this world and is part of my investment in you."

The fortune teller took out half a piece of parchment and asked the three people to pass it around and read it. When they read it one by one, their minds were filled with some unfamiliar knowledge. They were three languages they had never come across before, namely Ancient Hermetic, Hermetic and Giant.

In addition, there is a brief ritual of the so-called "Holy Spirit" Path Sequence 9 "Fire".

"If you are worried that you won't remember it well enough, maybe you can carry this thing with you." The fortune teller shook the half piece of parchment, with a smile in his brown eyes.

"No, thanks." Kuroba Kaito also figured out the interests and disputes behind the so-called extraordinary path, and cautiously rejected it.

If you were accidentally found carrying items related to the evil god, you would probably be wanted and hunted by all the major orthodox churches, right?

He was even worried about what would happen after he got out.

He won’t be blocked at the door and killed by the Time Angel who goes by the alias Mr. World and is actually a high-ranking member of the Church of Fools, right?
He somewhat regretted swearing the oath of fool at that time.

When the thief gets used to talking nonsense, he forgets that there are really such things as gods in this world.

Kuroba Kaito had a terrible headache.

"If you have the idea of believing in my Lord, you can stay and listen to my understanding of my Lord's great teachings." The fortune teller seemed very easygoing. "It doesn't matter if you don't have any ideas. These seven exits can all lead to a safe place."

"As for Mr. World, you don't have to worry too much. Although you have done something blasphemous, targeting a few of you who are not even Beyonders is not enough to attract a Saint to personally dispatch. Just be careful to avoid the Tingen Rangers."

"I'll stay." Gin said without any hesitation.

He has already figured out the pros and cons behind this and will not hesitate to worry about it. Instead of going out to face the search of the Orthodox Church, it is better to join the Aurora Society, which is at least a complete organization. Especially in terms of combat power, this fortune teller seems to be no inferior to the "saint" angel he mentioned.

It's nothing more than an illegal organization, and his experience is just right for it.

After thinking about it, Kuroba Kaito also stayed, but Maori Kogoro still found it difficult to accept this situation. He chose "Let me think about it", and then left the secret room with sorrow.

"I am very happy to see two smart people." The fortune teller seemed to be in a good mood. "I will personally teach you to become extraordinary people and lead you onto the right path."

"When ignorance becomes the mainstream, awakening becomes the original sin, and we, the Aurora Society, are committed to restoring the orthodoxy of our Lord's faith and exposing the false faces of false gods."

He raised his cane and tapped it lightly on the candle flame.

The brilliant light circle spread, illuminating the damp and dark secret room.

Gin and Kuroba Kaito were blinded by the light and subconsciously shrank their eyes.

Then I found that the scene before my eyes had changed.

The originally simple and cramped underground secret room disappeared, replaced by a magnificent pure white church.
