"Now that you've remembered it, hurry up." The veiled woman said to the man in front of her, and the man quickly responded.
"Wait a mininute……"
As he spoke, the man touched his chin. Then Pearson saw that the man's strong and resolute face suddenly began to wriggle. It changed rapidly in a violent ups and downs. After a while, the man's face changed into another ordinary face. His body also shrank a bit. Pearson recognized it. Is it his own face? !
"This is... the Shadow-Faced Man!? They are from the Eight-Pointed Nest! The Eight-Pointed Nest that assassinated Lord Barrett!"
Seeing this scene outside the prison door, Pearson was surprised and thought that because the assassination case at the beginning of the year had such a huge impact on Putin, the name of the Eight-Pointed Nest had spread almost throughout the entire Putin secret world. Even people like Pearson who were not affiliated with the investigation department in the church had heard of it and knew their abilities and what they had done.
"Okay, this should be fine." Touching his new face, the man who seemed to belong to the Eight-Pointed Nest said to the veiled woman in front of him, and the woman responded with her hands folded in front of her chest.
"Not bad. Now that your face has been changed, quickly change your clothes. Take them off those charlatans. The other four are ready and waiting for you."
"The other four... Could it be that besides me, the rest of our group was also captured here?" Pearson thought in surprise as he listened to the woman's words outside.
Pearson had previously thought that if his teammates couldn't find him for a long time, they would return to report to the church and ask the church to send people to rescue him, but he didn't expect that his other companions had all been captured, and now there was no one who could report his situation to the church.
"Five people... We have to play the roles. The nun won't be familiar with any of them. If she is familiar with them, it will be difficult to fool her."
Outside the prison door, the man said this after his face changed, and the woman in front of him quickly responded.
"According to the intelligence from Gramoen, these five people have no relationship with the nun, and the nun's guards are mostly not from Putt, so you don't have to worry about this. The nun only knows the name of the replacement ceremony, and knows nothing else. After you arrive in Gramoen, you can fool her however you want. In the eyes of the nun, after all, you are the 'experts' she invited from Tivian..."
With a wicked smile, the veiled woman spoke to the man with the changed face. Hearing the woman's words, Pearson was startled again.
'Sister Gramorn... This group of people is targeting Sister Vanya! They want to use our investigation of the advance team's identity to get close to Sister Vanya!'
Pearson thought in amazement, and at this moment the man with the changed face continued to speak.
"The Gospel of the Summer Tree Islands... the Savior of Adus... thank you to the Holy Mother of the Fallen City... Vanya Chafillon, haha, it is such an honor to be able to seduce the most brilliant young rookie of the church in recent years to do blasphemous and defiled things, pollute the night sky, and help the Queen of the Deep Web to take the entire Putt's cause to the next step. I wonder what expressions the guys on the Holy Land Mountain will show when they know that the nun they are paying attention to is our pawn..."
With a smug look on his face, the man with the changed face smiled and said, while the woman in front of him waved her hand and spoke.
"You seem very motivated, but you'd better save the rest of your enthusiasm for Gramorn. There is still a lot for you to do there."
"Okay, it's time to set off now..." the man said, and then he and the masked woman walked towards the distance together. But after taking two steps, the man seemed to remember something. He stopped and looked at Pearson's cell door, which scared Pearson, who was eavesdropping and peeping, and he lowered his head.
"So, when I was trying to recognize his face just now, I found that the guy inside was still alive, but he had fainted. Why didn't you just kill him? I only needed to recognize his face, and I didn't need him to be alive."
The man looked at the cell door in confusion and asked, while the veiled woman answered quickly.
"We have a little problem with logistics. A bunch of idiots messed things up. The soul-binding measures are not in place. If we kill them rashly now, their souls may be communicated with by someone else. So now we can only lock them up alive. When things over there are over, I will also start to clean them up as soon as possible."
“I see…”
Listening to the words of the masked woman, the man with the changed face nodded silently, and then he followed the woman and walked forward along the corridor. Pearson in the cell silently heard their footsteps disappear at the end of the distance.
After hearing the footsteps getting farther away, Pearson silently clenched his teeth and thought angrily in his heart.
"We must...we must find a way to escape, and report the news here to Archbishop Francesco!"
…
On the other side, in the long dark corridor, the man with the changed face and the masked woman walked for a distance and then stopped again. The masked woman looked up and spoke slowly.
"Okay, he can't hear us from this position, Mr. Shadow-Man."
"Really... That's good. Do you think my performance was okay, ma'am?" After hearing the woman's words, the man with the changed face smiled and said, and the masked woman quickly responded.
"Not bad... It seems that the detective has guided you. Although it is not perfect, it is more than enough to deceive a frightened person." The masked woman said this, and then the man continued to speak.
"Huh... I didn't expect that Mr. Detective would ask us to attack the church members this time. I really don't know what he is planning to the extent of going against the church..."
"You can't say that I'm against the church. At most, I'm just taking advantage of them. According to what the great detective said, I'll release all the five priests I captured today when the time is right. It's clear that he doesn't want to offend the church. If he really wants to be an enemy of the church, I dare not help him casually."
The masked woman said this, and after a slight pause, she continued speaking.
"Well, apart from following his orders to release the people, we have finished everything here. The next step for the great detective is not to focus on Tivian. Mr. Shadow-faced Man, you can take a rest. You have your own things to do, too."
"Yes, then I'll take my leave now, ma'am, I'm glad we can work together again."
With that, Gregor walked away quickly with a face that did not belong to him. Adele, wearing a veil, stood on the ground. After Gregor left, she leaned against the wall and thought about something silently.
"It seems... your long-awaited plan is finally reaching the most critical stage... I wish you good luck, my little detective..."
