The moment Cork was stabbed in the back, his eyes widened, and he immediately slapped the sharp knife behind him with his hand, knocking the hand holding the knife away. Then he grasped the handle of the knife and pulled the knife out with gritted teeth. Then he covered the wound with his hand, and as an orange-yellow halo emerged from his hand, his wound quickly stopped bleeding and healed.
Cork wanted to open the door and leave the carriage, but the driver immediately swung the reins and quickly rode forward. Cork, who was stabbed in the back, fell on his back in the carriage because of the slow speed. Taking advantage of this opportunity, three or four sturdy figures rushed out from under the seats in the carriage, pressed the fallen Cork under them, and used all their strength to clamp him tightly, restraining his movements and covering his mouth.
The imprisoned Cork whimpered and called out. He used all his strength to try to break free from the restraints of the people around him. And it seemed that this was indeed a way to get rid of it. Cork's strength was incredibly great. As he struggled, the four people in the car could not hold him down for a while.
And when Cork was about to break free, three of the four forces that bound him suddenly grew stronger, suppressing his resistance for a moment. Taking advantage of this opportunity, a pair of powerful hands came out and grabbed Cork's head, twisting it hard. With a "click", Cork's neck was broken, and he completely lost his breath, and collapsed with his eyes wide open.
Cork died, on the carriage that was still moving on the deserted road. Then the four figures that were pressing on Cork gradually crawled under the seats of the carriage. The space under the seats was like a black hole that completely accommodated the figures of the four big men.
Then, Kirk's wide-open eyes became calm. He slowly stood up from the floor of the carriage and sat down heavily on the seat. After tidying up his clothes, he took out a newspaper and started reading with a calm look.
After this, the black carriage continued to move forward. The coachman looked calm and composed, and he was even whistling and humming a little tune, as if he was carrying out a normal business. The passengers in the carriage were still waiting to reach the destination, and the occasional passers-by did not have any doubts about the carriage.
Just like that, the carriage drove out of the deserted road and headed towards the edge of the city. After turning left and right for more than an hour, it finally arrived at the outskirts of the city and stopped in front of an uninhabited grove of trees.
"You have arrived at your destination. Please pay first. The total is 15 Hao coins."
After stopping the car, the coachman said with a smile, and Cork in the car nodded and put down the newspaper in his hand. After getting out of the car, he handed the newspaper to the coachman, and the coachman took off his hat and saluted with a smile.
"Bon voyage, first."
Then, the coachman drove the carriage away, and Cork walked into the grove with a determined look, all the way to the depths of it. On the open lawn here, he saw another private carriage parked here. Cork walked to the side of the carriage, bowed respectfully, then took out a thick book with a red cover from his robe and handed it into the carriage window.
"I have come, miss, please accept it."
"Well, thank you for your hard work~"
Sitting in the comfortable carriage, Dorothy, who was wearing a little dress, reached out her hand to take the bright red secret document handed to her, then said thank you, and then Kirk respectfully retreated into the woods.
"It looks like the operation is going well..." Dorothy murmured with a smile as she looked at the secret document in her hand. She and Vanya had been formulating and preparing the plan against Cork in the morning and it was implemented in the afternoon. Everything went very smoothly.
Dorothy asked Vanya to prepare a letter threatening Cork on a typewriter, pointing out his plan. In any case, if the plan was exposed, Cork would not be able to stay in the church peacefully, so he had to run away immediately.
As long as he ran out and left the church area, Dorothy could take action.
First, Dorothy prepared a hired carriage. Due to the urgency of the situation, Dorothy had no time to get a carriage through normal channels. She directly used the corpse doll to rob a suburban hired carriage. She knocked the coachman unconscious and threw him into the woods, and stripped off his clothes and replaced them with the most suitable corpse doll.
Of course, as compensation, Dorothy left 50 pounds in cash for the poor coachman who was knocked unconscious. This money was enough for him to buy three carriages or some other property.
After Cork leaves the church area, he must move to a safe area quickly. However, he is only a mid-level deacon, which means he is only a black-level one. He does not have any peculiar movement methods like bats, so he can only take a car like ordinary people. At that time, Dorothy only needs to drive the taxi to him on time.
As for how Dorothy accurately grasped the location and time of Cork's coming out...it was because the letter that Vanya wrote to Cork was printed with the signpost seal that Dorothy bought from Beverly for thirty pounds.
It is impossible for Cork to leave such a letter behind. The tight time does not allow him to deal with the letter on the spot, so he will most likely take it with him. Later, Vanya can use the signpost sigil to sense Cork's location, and then this location information can be transmitted to Dorothy through the information channel. Combined with the map provided by Vanya, Dorothy can clearly know Cork's movements. The moment he comes out, she drives the car in front of him. After Cork gets in the car, she will do everything. Use the magic box to give the priest a set of big men, so that he can experience the treatment Kim received.
The corpse puppet of the coachman on the carriage and the corpse puppet holding the magic box hidden under the seat were both shared the effect of the Concealment Ring by Dorothy using the spiritual silk. Therefore, even though Kirk was a black-level "lamp" with the ability to passively perceive extraordinary traces, he did not find any abnormality in the corpse puppet, and Dorothy also spent 1 point of "Shadow" for this.
When strangling Cork, Dorothy spent another 3 points of "cup" and used the spirit thread to remotely maintain the effect of eating for the three corpses. Dorothy herself was sitting in her own carriage, controlling the horse from a distance of several miles. She bought her own carriage a long time ago. After the experience of Igwynte, she expected that she would need to move quickly in the city.
"Well, now that this side is finally settled, I wonder what the situation is like over there with Vanya?"
Dorothy stroked the red-covered secret book in her hand and looked at the sky outside the car window, thinking.
…
At the same time, in the lobby of the History and Classics Department of the Cathedral, the atmosphere was extremely tense.
A group of fully armed religious guards, who were incompatible with the style of the History and Classics Office, were standing guard in various places in the hall of the History and Classics Office, blocking all exits.
The staff members of the History and Classics Department, who were originally happy to continue studying the documents, were frightened when they saw these religious guards breaking in. Some people wanted to blame them, but when they saw the heresy investigators coming in from behind, wearing light armor, priest robes and helmets, everyone was afraid to make a sound.
Quickly, under the command of the heresy investigator, the Catholic Army quickly took control of the entire scene and began searching everywhere. All the priests and nuns in the History and Scripture Office were driven aside and looked around in panic. Although confusion was written on everyone's face, they did not dare to ask.
After all, he was a heresy investigator, a member of the Inquisition, and someone who handled internal affairs. He was top-notch in terms of both strength and power in all systems of the church, and was not someone that a small History and Classics Department could afford to offend.
At the same time, another group of craftsmen followed the investigator into the hall of the History and Classics Department. As soon as they entered the hall, they began to dismantle the secret observation instruments inside, and carefully began to check the structure of each component in the instruments, and carefully observed the large number of lenses one by one. Although the priests and nuns in the History and Classics Department were annoyed, no one dared to speak in front of the tall investigator.
Suddenly, a craftsman-like man frowned while checking a lens. After carefully stroking and examining it for a few seconds, he quickly ran to the investigator and spoke respectfully.
"Sir, there is indeed something wrong with the secret observation instrument here. Among the 12 anti-poison enchanted lenses, there is one ordinary lens. It is absolutely impossible to provide all-round protection when using such an instrument to observe secrets."
The investigator stretched out his hand wearing a thick leather glove, took the lens and examined it carefully, then a stern low-pitched voice came from his helmet.
"Has Ludo Coke been found?"
