Chapter 567 The bird in the cage

The city of Tingen is actually not that small.

The population of the urban area and the suburbs is about 10. In this era of steam and machinery, it is very rare for a city without any economic pillars or political centers to reach such a level. up.

Fors, the salted fish writer lady, felt that this "small city" was so big that it made her despair.

If you want to escape here, it seems that it is not so easy, especially in this chaotic period, even the public carriages are paralyzed, so it is impossible for the steam train to be unaffected, and it has temporarily stopped operating, I don’t know When will it be restored.

——and this also blocked the possibility of her easily escaping from Tingen.

——Fors would never be able to leave the city on foot, cross the countryside, and walk all the way back to Backlund.

Even if it is really possible, this salted fish will definitely not dare to choose this method. She is seriously insecure now, and even subconsciously suspects that once she leaves a crowded place, she will be poisoned immediately...

Perhaps this is the writer's occupational disease. Too much imagination made Fors suffer from persecution paranoia. In a short period of time, she conceived many terrible conspiracies against herself. This way of dying is played in a loop like a revolving lantern in my mind.

She was timid at first, but now she scares herself even more. The more she thinks about it, the more afraid she becomes. In the end, Forsi made up her mind.

She is going to seek shelter from the Orthodox Church!

From Fowles' point of view, this may be the only self-help method she can take at present. Apart from this, she really can't think of any other good way.Because she not only doesn't know anything, but also doesn't have any combat power. As an "apprentice" of Sequence 9, at best, she can use the special characteristics of the spirit world to pass through obstacles.

But it can only pass through walls or blocked doors, and the premise is that there is no limit of extraordinary power, and the obstacles are not too thick.

Except for this extraordinary ability that seems a little bit weak, she is no different from ordinary people... Oh, there are still some, ordinary people should be able to fight better than her.

But just watching helplessly, doing nothing, simply waiting to die, is not what Forsi wants to see, even if a dog can jump over a wall in a hurry, salted fish will definitely instinctively when encountering life-threatening Jump a few times.

And perhaps it is a good material and beautiful jade who is destined to join the Tarot Society, Forsi's thinking at this moment is surprisingly consistent with that of the future Mister Fool.That's right, she chose to report herself to the authorities and voluntarily surrendered...

Although logically speaking, a wild Extraordinary like her should try to avoid contact with the authorities, but when it comes to such a critical moment, who cares so much.

Ask the authorities for help, at least there is still a chance.

If you don't do this, maybe you can't do it well, and your body will appear in the sewer or some cult sacrificial ceremony in two days.

Rich imagination and skillful self-persecution made Miss Xianyu burst out with a strong will to survive and unprecedented action. After she initially checked the official power distribution in Tingen, she found that she could easily make a choice.Because just like the mainstream beliefs in the entire Loen Kingdom, Tingen City also mainly believes in the Goddess of the Night, the Lord of Storms, and the God of Steam and Machinery.

The three major churches are divided into regions according to the situation of believers——

The Evernight Goddess Church corresponds to the "St. Selina Church" on Red Moon Street.

The Church of the God of Steam and Machinery corresponds to the "Holy Number Church" in the suburbs.

The Church of the Lord of Storms corresponds to the "River and Sea Church" in Tingen North District.

Because Fors doesn't know Tingen well, and naturally doesn't know where the city's official Extraordinary organization is based, so she can only find it through the church on the surface.

The Church of the Lord of Storms is located in the northern part of the city, but Forsi was ruled out first. She had heard of some things, especially her friend Hugh had told her specifically about the three major churches that were very important to the wild and extraordinary. differences in attitudes.

Generally speaking, although the three major churches are attacking wild Extraordinary people on the surface, the concepts and styles of the Church of Evernight and the Church of Steam are relatively milder.

Only the group of storm brothers really caught them fiercely, and they were merciless when they hit them. Forsi just wanted to take risks, but she definitely didn't want to throw herself into a trap and kill herself first, so Pass this option decisively.

As for the Church of the God of Steam and Mechanics, it was not a good choice because it was located in the suburbs. She didn't want to leave the city or places with many people, so she also ruled it out.

So--

Naturally, there was only one choice left, she wanted to find the Church of Evernight! !

Destiny is not a bird in a cage.

However, the fate of the caged bird has long been doomed.

The drama staged in Tingen, the confrontation between the Nighthawks and the Betrayer, the script written by Sealed Object 0-08... All the crimes, all the struggles, and everything that happened have long been connected by lies and tricks, whether it is Whatever the process, the result is already doomed.

Nothing can escape this bondage, from the vast gods beyond the realm of man to the planets themselves as fine as a mote of dust, everything is in the cage.

Even the starry sky forms part of this vein.

…………

…………

The second floor of No. 36 Zouteran Street, Blackthorn Security Company.

Klein paced back and forth in the reception hall, like an ant on a hot pot, running around in a hurry but not knowing what to do.

The reception hall was very quiet, probably because Luo Shan and the others did not come to work today. This quietness spread in the air. Restless silence.

Especially compared to those crowded, noisy streets where quarrels, scrambles, fights, and bloodshed occurred from time to time, Zouterand Street is terribly quiet today.Looking out from the window on the second floor, one can see the solitude and quietness of the entire street. There is no one who is empty and lifeless. It looks like a silent city where all the residents have disappeared.

Klein took a deep breath, and he knew this was normal.

The commercial development of this street is relatively low, and it is usually not very popular.

At present, almost half of the people in the city are gathered in telegraph offices, railway stations, various shops, markets, and even dock warehouses, so naturally they will not appear here.It’s not a characteristic of the times, even in the Earth world before I traveled, wouldn’t this kind of situation happen, the people think that there is a crisis in the future, and there will be a panic buying...

The only difference is that in this era of steam and machinery, the productivity is far from being comparable to the world before he traveled.

Usually, I dare not say that it can meet the basic needs of the people, let alone at this critical juncture, when everyone is desperately trying to hoard more and more supplies.And the more they can't get it, the more panic people will have, and the sense of crisis will be deepened and aggravated, and riots will follow...

"Klein, I've already reported it to the higher-ups, and the "Punisher" and "Mechanical Heart" also sent reminders—it's just that they don't have a convincing reason, I'm afraid it's hard for them to convince . "

At this moment, Dunn Smith came out from the corridor.

The Captain of the Nighthawks frowned tightly, contemplating some troublesome problem, and looked somewhat tired.

The main reason is that he was in charge of the Chanis gate last night, and it didn't end until this morning. It was a very troublesome thing.And just when he was about to go home from get off work to rest, before he had time to go out, he saw Klein rushing into the door in a hurry, bringing a news that sounded alarmist, which also made him feel a lot of pressure.

Fortunately, Dunn is a very responsible captain, he trusts his teammates.

Coupled with what happened last night, the situation in Tingen has become chaotic today. It is not impossible for some evil forces to take advantage of the situation.

Taking these factors into consideration, Dunn responded decisively. He is not a person who is afraid of taking responsibility.

"Klein, I know you may have some scruples, or you may have some secrets that you don't want to reveal, but I'm very pleased that you can take the initiative to tell me about it..."

Staring at his trusted team members with those deep gray eyes, Dunn said seriously: "I don't know how you got to know about the conspiracy, but we need more clear information, do you understand?"

"This this……"

Klein opened his mouth, finally shook his head, and said in a bitter tone: "Captain, I really don't know, the only thing I can guess is that they might want to open some portal to welcome the arrival of evil spirits... "

This is still the fragment of information he intercepted from the raving, as for the rest, he really doesn't know anything.

"Welcome the coming of the evil spirits..." Dunn muttered to himself, his expression obviously becoming serious. "If this is the case, this may be beyond what we can handle."

"Will the church send someone over?"

Klein asked with a glimmer of hope, if there are some demigods, saints, etc. who come to sit in charge, it must be fine, right?
Even though he also knew that it was not realistic, if there was no conclusive evidence, and if the one-sided statement reported by just anyone could attract the strong members of the church to come and inspect it, then the church would stop doing other things.It is estimated that at that time, the high-level executives were either exhausted or on the road to exhaustion.

"It's hard to say..." Dunn shook his head. He didn't really want to discuss this issue, probably because he knew it was unrealistic. "In any case, let's do what we should do first... Klein, where was the last time you saw her?"

"She's... she's..."

Klein was about to answer when he inadvertently looked out the window.

Just for a moment, his mind went blank, and the rest of the words seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he couldn't spit them out again.

He only felt that his heart was beating non-stop, as piercing as thunder, almost leaving only the huge heartbeat like a drum in his mind.He lost all his ability to think, and just looked at the end of Zouteland Street. The female figure reappeared, walking towards the Blackthorn Security Company, step by step with a clear goal...

——As if it unfolded as a matter of course, it seems that the trajectory of fate has been manipulated from the very beginning.

——No matter what direction you swim in, you will inevitably arrive at the same destiny by different routes.
