"Well... If that's the case, then we have to move faster. We must try to complete the acceleration before the investigator arrives. I wonder if the number of dream cocoons captured by 'Pupa' can support it to complete this acceleration..."
Gomez sighed and murmured, because he didn't know when the investigators would arrive in Navaha, so the acceleration of the work on the 'pupa' must be started immediately.
…
At night in Navaha, there are many church ships anchored in the port.
Somewhere in the port, under the bright street lights, a group of men in the uniforms of the Knights stood there. The leading officer, Jode, was looking at the scene in front of him with a serious expression.
At this moment, there was a stretcher on the ground in front of Joad. A male corpse with blood coming out of all seven orifices and a horrified face was lying on the stretcher, staring at the sky with eyes full of fear, as if narrating some unimaginable horrific scene.
"Has his identity been verified now?"
After taking a look at the corpse in front of him, Joad asked, and the adjutant beside him answered immediately.
"Your Excellency... We have already searched for residents around the church to identify him, but no one knows him, so his specific identity cannot be confirmed for the time being.
"The only thing we know now is that he is definitely not an ordinary person. We found a symbol with the meaning of 'shadow' on his body, so he must be a person involved in secrets."
The adjutant spoke to Qiao De seriously. After listening to the adjutant's words, Qiao De's eyes became more concentrated.
"A suspicious 'shadow' appeared suddenly beside the church with blood gushing out of his seven orifices and he died suddenly... I've been sailing for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen such a situation..." Joad said as he took out a cigarette from his pouch and put it in his mouth, then lit it with a match and started smoking, while the adjutant beside him spoke seriously.
"Sir... could this guy be the remnant of the Haiyuan Cult in this city? Is he gathering information everywhere now, looking for an opportunity for revenge?"
"I don't think so. People related to the Haiyuan Cult generally work in ocean-related professions, and most of them drift on the sea. This guy's skin shows that he doesn't go out to sea often. In addition, Haiyuan Cult members usually have water breath symbols on their bodies, but this guy doesn't have them. Instead, he has some rare 'shadow' symbols, which is not in line with the style of Haiyuan Cult members..."
Puffing out smoke, Qiao De judged what was going on. Listening to Qiao De's words, the adjutant beside him spoke in surprise.
"It's not the Haiyuan Cult... Then where did this guy come from? Why did he suddenly die?"
"I don't know about that. The only thing that is clear now is that this small town we randomly chose to stop at is far from being as simple as it looks...
"It seems that there will be more issues to be handed over later."
Jode muttered as he turned his head to look at the dark town beside him. The body of a man who had suddenly died in front of him had made him aware of the existence of clues in this ordinary town.
"When will those guys from the court arrive?"
Joad turned to ask the adjutant beside him, and the adjutant answered immediately.
"According to the news from Troyes in the evening, the investigators have just set out and it is expected to take two days to arrive here."
"Two days left? I hope they can come as soon as possible. Now...it's not just Haiyuan Sect's affairs that need them to deal with."
Jode said this slowly. At this time, he had almost determined that there was a secret group in Navaha that was not from the Sea Abyss Church. He now needed to wait for the arrival of the investigators and then hand over all the clues to him. Now that such a thing happened suddenly, Jode could already foresee that the investigators would be busy in the future.
…
In Navaha at night, in a high-end hotel.
Dorothy was sitting by the warm brazier after taking a bath. She had just helped Vanya to exorcise the threat in her dream and was thinking about what had just happened. She had never imagined that there was actually another secret society hidden in this ordinary seaside town.
'I had felt that something was a little strange about this city before, but I never thought there was really a society hidden here, and it was a "shadow" society that could invade other people's dreams.
"These guys suddenly invaded Vanya's dream and kept searching for information about the church. It seems that they were shocked by the sudden visit of the church fleet. The presence of the church fleet made them feel uneasy, so they wanted to use this dream-pulling method to confirm the church's intentions... But unfortunately, they chose the wrong person when selecting people..."
Dorothy was thinking this in her heart. At this time, she had roughly understood why the suburban mental hospital suddenly wanted to change its sign. It was because they didn't want the church members to notice that there were three mental hospitals in this strange city.
"According to the current situation, Navaha's insomnia and the mental hospital are all related to this association. Hehe... I have run into another association without knowing it. Do I have any special constitution?"
Dorothy complained like this in her heart, but at this moment she didn't hate it too much. After all, Dorothy was short of spirituality right now and needed some spiritual associations to contribute. Isn't this something that was delivered to her door?
'Yes, the church's fleet is still at the port. I have someone to report nearby. If I use the power of the church, it won't be difficult to deal with this association.
"I just need to find these guys and then lead the church over. When they fight the church head-on, I can fish in troubled waters."
Sitting by the brazier, Dorothy smiled as she thought about it. It had been a long time since she encountered such a situation where she could report to the nearest police station. As long as the base was found and the report was successful, Dorothy could take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune, just like she had done before.
"The church's fleet can't stay in the port for too long, so I need to hurry up. The mental hospital is the closest clue right now, so let's start from there tomorrow."
Dorothy rubbed her hands and thought, she felt that it was time for her to return to the role of an enthusiastic citizen.
