Pastor's Tantra

After this unpleasant transaction, Alice abandoned Yasen without any regrets and turned away with the cash box that Yasen brought.

Although she herself looked down on the money, the money from selling her "second-hand original clothes" would actually become the organization's funds. The Hawkeye Organization promised that the money would be used to improve the living conditions of the orphans, and this was why Alice was willing to sell her clothes.

She was more or less a girl, even though she had admired the thief Yasen since she was a child and once regarded him as her idol and therefore did not mind him wearing her clothes... but those were her favorite clothes.

If she didn't like it, how could she wear these skirts to attend the most grand and formal banquets?

Now that she has really calmed down, she suddenly realized where the money "used to improve the living conditions of orphans" was used.

Obviously... the Kree Party.

Although Alice was indeed naive, her social identity was a reporter after all. She couldn't be unaware of the existence and rules of the Kree Party.

If you work in the media industry, you can't be so simple and ignorant. It was a melting pot full of all kinds of malice and evil.

Aren't those people "orphans"? They were bribed by Hawkeye's subordinate organizations to carry out all kinds of illegal activities. And these children also have to get money from the superior organization... Isn't this the purpose of "improving the living conditions of orphans"?

She was not unaware of this matter. It's just that she always wishfully believed that the Moon Child was the culprit of all the chaos, evil, poverty, and depravity in Iris. If she wanted to solve all kinds of problems, she had to solve the Moon Child first - and conversely, if the Moon Child could be solved, those messy little problems would surely heal themselves.

Therefore, these "not-so-perfect little problems" were regarded by her as "necessary pains on the road to expelling the Moon Child."

——Until today, she suddenly realized that the organization had never really trusted her. She couldn't even be considered a person, but a middleman when the family and Hawkeye completed the transaction...

When the filter was broken, the smart IQ immediately occupied the high ground.

All those things that she knew in the past but was deliberately ignored now came to her mind.

She planned to think about it carefully after returning, what else she hadn't told her!

- Then she would brew up her emotions and tears and complain to her father!

At this moment, the reporter who was famous for being "rebellious and independent" and always dressed hot and behaved frivolously outside seemed to have rejuvenated and turned back into a little girl in the past.

But from another perspective... from "playing an adult" to "playing a child", it proved that she had indeed grown up.

However, until Alice left angrily, she didn't realize what the "Iben Ritual Master" had deliberately ignored.

Yasen stared at her back and chuckled: "Sure enough... she's still a child, right?"

"That's pretty good."

Evans, who played the role of "Ibn Ritualist", raised his eyebrows and commented: "She's still a little immature, and the most important thing is that she's not firm enough."

"Yeah..."

Aleister, who was in his arms, also smiled and said: "Because I heard bigger news, I unknowingly forgot my original purpose and doubts... I really miss it. I had such a time back then."

"Back then?" Aiwass asked appropriately.

"Well, when I was still a clear and stupid college student."

Aleister, who looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, said briskly: "If I remember correctly, she seems to be a college student who just graduated."

Everyone present concealed the same thing from Alice.

-That is, why the Son of the Moon and Hawkeye were stalking here at the same time.

Alice was just a little confused, but her attention was easily attracted by Yassen's exaggerated performance, and she soon focused on the extra key in the suitcase.

But in fact, the thing she overlooked was the key.

Although the assassins of the Hawkeye Organization are good at lurking, the Moon Child can sense the blood of others; and even if the Moon Child is exactly the same as ordinary people under normal circumstances, Hawkeye has already studied the Moon Child - coupled with the perception and intuition ability of adapting to the path, they can be said to be exposed to each other at the same time.

"The child is gone."

Aiwass looked at Yassen and said, "Next, let's talk about some adult things."

The white-haired vampire laughed coldly, but Yassen was not nervous at all, but leaned back.

"Speaking of which, it was because of this incident that I confirmed that you are not a bad person."

Yassen said casually: "You don't want the child to be involved in any trouble."

Indeed. Aiwass thought.

No matter what conspiracy her family was brewing, she was indeed innocent... and she risked her life to serve the country and humanity. That was why Aiwass released her after arresting her. Otherwise, she was just the daughter of the Duke of the Human Kingdom. How could she leave so easily when she was involved in a major case like the assassination of the Eternal Pope?

However, the white-haired vampire just sneered: "I just think she is in the way."

"Okay, okay..."

Yasen waved his hand, assuming it was a tough talk or a pretense of professionalism: "Now that the troublemaker is gone, I have to tell you something more important."

As he spoke, he leaned on the chair, waved lazily, snapped his fingers, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, guys - please go out for a while, okay?"

The next moment.

Everyone in the originally noisy tavern suddenly shut their mouths simultaneously.

Diners, drunkards, sailors, minstrels...even the man who worked part-time as front desk clerk, chef, bartender and boss, all stood up and wanted to leave.

"Hey, you can't leave!"

Yassen suddenly rushed over and grabbed the boss's sleeve: "Bring me some beer - I also want a red wine braised beef tripe, creamy pepper veal tripe, chicken liver mousse, and a donut. Oh, Another rice pudding with ice and linden honey, and I'll charge this gentleman's account."

"Don't even think about it, you despicable thief! Thief! Duck!"

While the boss struggled to break away, he retorted unceremoniously: "You have already recorded the account three times. This small business cannot stand such an unscrupulous default on your account!"

"Hey, I'll pay it back next time... I didn't bring any money this time... As you know, it's not suitable for me to bring money when I go out..."

"There's no next time, Yasen! Just drink plain water!"

The boss left angrily.

Yes, that is not mental manipulation.

——It’s just that everyone in this bar belongs to him.

As a Phantom Thief who has been active in Iris for more than ten years, his story is still so popular in Iris. He can even be written into a novel and sold overseas... All of this must be spontaneous, even if it is serialized for several years. Thousands of episodes of live-action sitcoms or children's animations can't do that.

As a dedicated thief, he certainly has his own power.

He has always helped the strong and the weak, robbed the rich and given to the poor. Even though he gave away almost all the money he stole and completed a "reasonable redistribution", this does not mean that he has no ability to form a force. After all, many people were saved by him, and many hated people were severely punished by the Phantom Thieves. It is only natural that these people would become followers of the Phantom Thieves.

It is by relying on a solid network of contacts in all walks of life that he can always issue accurate "crime notices". He couldn't investigate this kind of thing clearly by himself. After all, there were some crimes that only people in the industry could clearly understand their weight, and laymen couldn't even understand the professional terminology.

After all, this was an era before search engines, and industry knowledge was such a high cognitive barrier.

...However, after he became completely familiar with him, the "idol halo" around him dissipated, and people gradually changed from admiration to disgust.

As both nationally-known idols, he and Sherlock have similar but opposite situations - the more familiar Shylock is, the more people are awed and alienated from him; while he is being criticized for his increasingly unconcealed perverted behavior. The "relatively conservative-thinking" Iris people are disgusted and alienated.

Aiwass knows some of his dark history - after all, Yasen has been an NPC that has appeared in quite a few events since the mid-term. The usual form of activity is that he hides the newly stolen treasure in a designated place, and then makes up a riddle for the player who is a close friend to find it. If you find it, you can give it a mosquito leg point token...

Considering that you can still copy the homework even if you can’t answer the riddles... Therefore, as an NPC who purely gives out benefits, Yasen’s popularity is quite high.

The most perverted thing about Yasen, and the thing that players admire the most, is that he will make a bet with players in the main plot. Of course, he will lose this bet - and if the player chooses the most outrageous one among the three punishment options: "dancing the cancan on the street wearing only underwear"...

——He really can do it.

Yasen agreed without hesitation.

Although it sounds like a stylish act of "willing to accept defeat", his promise was too firm and even seemed a little impatient, which actually caused some players to have the weird idea that "he didn't want to be so looking forward to it." .

The official even designed a complete CG specifically for this option - he is wearing a fiery red skirt, but the makeup has been removed from his face. Revealing his handsome and deep face, which gave people a sense of vicissitudes of life, his lower body was only wearing underwear.

The cancan dance is famous for its dance moves of lifting up the skirt and kicking the legs high. It is characterized by exposing the bottom of the skirt and thighs, splits and high kicks.

When the police came to hunt him after hearing the news, he disappeared into the street with great agility while dancing the cancan, which became an urban legend that made people think that he was experiencing a group hallucination.

——Such a person is quite familiar with the players.

That's why Aleister subconsciously regarded the other party as a pervert - after all, in a sense, she was the person who had the least position to criticize Yassen.

It was precisely because of his keen sense of goodwill and the fact that the other party sent Alice away that Yassen roughly determined the possible identities of Aiwass and his party, and confirmed that they were not the same as those Children of the Moon. .

So Yassen said: "Those Children of the Moon are not here to snatch the Key of Moonlight. They want this key to be useless... They want to destroy it.

"Because some of the Moon Children seem to be planning to use this key to perform some particularly dangerous rituals. And this ritual may even affect the entire Moon Children clan... In order to prevent accidents, the Moon Children of other factions want to destroy this key.

"They know that this key is escorted by Alice. So for her safety, even if you didn't do it, I would have shown her the truth 'accidentally'. In this way, they will not think that the key is still in the girl's possession, and choose not to attack her - at least it can reduce the probability of her being attacked. "

"So gentle."

Iben sighed and replied in a low voice.

Yasen shook his head and continued: "As for the Hawkeye Organization... After all, this key was actually brought to me by them through Alice. They have held this key for more than a hundred years. In this way, even if our cooperation is leaked, only she will be held responsible. It could be aimed at her, or it could be aimed at her father who could die at any time...

"I think they have stayed here to prevent Alice from defecting. I am afraid they are also monitoring me and not letting me talk too much with Alice."

As Yasen said, he subconsciously grasped the key and pointed it at the light on the ceiling: "After all, this key... seems to allow people to reach the dream world in the flesh. Sometimes I think, if I were a phantom demon, I would not need to eat, drink, or sleep. I would live a carefree life... I don't need to worry about anything."

"——The dream world has thousands of entrances and exits. Once you enter, you may never find your way home again."

Evans gave a symbolic admonition.

But he also knew that it was probably useless to persuade people about this kind of thing.

However, Yasen's words revealed another piece of information:

"You want to leave Iris?"

Suddenly, the white-haired Moon Child realized the inner subtext of Yasen's words, so he asked: "What are your intentions?"

"Go to Avalon, I think Avalon is now the most powerful country in the human world."

Yasen replied nonchalantly: "Or go to Xingti, anywhere is fine. As long as I don't go to the desert and eat sand."

"Then my suggestion is Avalon."

Ewass also answered without hesitation.

After hearing this, Yasen had a bottom line in his heart.

Whether he is related to the Pope or not...at least it can be determined which side he is from.

He said this in a roundabout way - and by the way, he also blocked the other party's perfunctory words such as "I am a Parthian, so I suggest you go to the ancient Parthian Kingdom."

But in fact, even if he didn't ask this, Ewass didn't intend to hide it from him at all.

He disguised himself as Ibn, just because he was afraid that those who imprisoned Sherlock would suddenly kill Sherlock to silence him. Now that Sherlock's exact location has been quickly determined, there is no need to continue acting. All that remains to be done is to rescue him first.

When he enters the dream world and finds an opportunity, he plans to find an excuse to take off his disguise.

As for whether Arsen's words just now were from his heart, Aiwass didn't care at all.

——Come if you want. Anyway, you are not a thief who harms people randomly.

If you can really put aside the messy political situation of Iris, you are really welcome to come anytime!

Avalon has been silent for too long, it's time to bring out some masters of pranks to open people's eyes...

"But... one side wants to kidnap Alice, and the other side is also monitoring Alice. Sure enough, neither side is a good thing."

Evans sighed in a low voice: "If it weren't for your help, Alice would probably die today. Both sides may accuse the other side of killing her."

"After all, she is a 'talent' who assassinated the Pope and was pardoned by the Pope. In addition to her background... If she grows up, the influence she can bring will be too great. However, no one knows what kind of talent she will become in the future."

Mr. Kaito said meaningfully: "The only survivor of the regicide - everyone thinks she is very strong. In this case, silencing is the best and most thorough choice. And today, everyone can push the blame on the other side.

"As far as I know, both sides don't want to fight now. But if Hawkeye and the Son of the Moon really cease fire and cooperate, it would be tantamount to tying some people to the stake - so they have to intensify the conflict and fight more firmly. "

"--That's why I ate them."

Aleister said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not the kind of unreasonable person. Those who can be eaten by me are mostly not good things. The traces of being preyed by the Son of the Moon are obvious, so at least the problem will not be thrown to the other side - I think Lily also thinks so, she probably also left traces of the power of shadow. "

"Yes."

Lily's gentle voice came.

Aiwas heard this and reached out to touch Aleister's nose.

"You little guy..."

He leaned close to Aleister's ear and asked: "Didn't you say in the past that you don't suck other people's blood?"

"I ate them completely, it's not considered sucking blood, it's considered predation. I didn't even kiss them, I just used my power to draw their blood. "

Aleister smiled back, revealing a pair of ferocious and sharp little fangs: "I am now 'pure love' - how about sucking yours?"

Aivas knocked on Aleister's head and did not respond to her.

Instead, he raised his head and asked directly: "When do you plan to enter the dream? You won't wait until the end of the month, will you?

"I have something important to ask him - it won't be delayed until the end of the month!"

"...I know, it's the Queen of Avalon's birthday. I've also seen his letter."

Mr. Kaitou answered: "I said I would go later because I wanted to trick the child away first. My suggestion is to set off now - give me 20 minutes to replenish the props, and then we will go directly. Some people will take a nap at this time, we can just find someone who will take a nap and use his dream... Do you want to come with me?"

"Sure."

The white vampire nodded, being frugal with words.

"Then let's go together," Aleister also agreed happily, "I'll go find someone who is asleep first. If he didn't sleep well, I'll let him sleep more deeply. "

Lily did not respond, but quietly sneaked into Aiwas's shadow again.

However, speaking of entering the dream world to save people...

Aiwas also thought of another thing.

The task he had promised to Ms. Haibasha before could be done at the same time.

Taking a lot of tasks along the way and completing them at the same time sounds very friendly to his obsessive-compulsive disorder!
