Chapter 107: The Lord's Holy Scripture
Why him?
Klein followed Lu Ze into Blackthorn Security Company, looking at the back of his neighbor and colleague with a complicated expression.
The divination above the gray fog last night could be said to have been very successful, but he couldn't bring himself to be happy. Because in his dream, Klein clearly saw the scene of Mrs. Sharon's murder.
He saw his colleague being hunted by Mrs. Sharon, burned by black flames on the ice, howling, his skin gradually turning charred black;
He saw his neighbor use a strange language, causing Mrs. Sharon's mind to almost collapse and lose control, leading to her death from a revolver shot to the head;
He also saw that after Xuelun's death, Lu Ze still didn't let her go. Instead, he opened her chest and abdomen in an almost evil way, removed her internal organs, cleaned up the scene, and left after disposing of the body.
So, in places I didn't know about, he had already become so powerful.
Klein gazed deeply at Lu Ze's back, thinking with emotion.
The scene of Lu Ze killing Xuelun had given him a huge shock.
Among our current Tarot Club members, I don't think there's anyone who can stand against him for now. Hmm, if we all went together, with the assistance of Miss Justice, and me, Hanged Man, and Sun, we could take him on…
The image of the Tarot Club battling Lu Ze couldn't help but appear in Klein's mind.
No, no, why am I starting to think about this?
What I should be considering now is, why did Lu Ze act alone? He could have just told everyone, and we could have all gone to encircle the Demoness, which would have been much safer than him going by himself. And after the Demoness died, he committed such an almost evil act. I really don't understand what he's doing.
Klein couldn't help but lightly tap his teeth, activating his Spirit Vision.
Under Spirit Vision, he saw that the light all over Lu Ze's body displayed stable and harmonious colors, indicating that his body and mind were generally very healthy, only his brain area was slightly reddish, seemingly with some anxiety. If this anxiety was attributed to Azk being wanted, it seemed plausible.
There was no aura of evil or corruption on Lu Ze.
"Good morning."
Lu Ze, completely unaware that he was being secretly observed, walked into the hall and greeted them.
He saw that Rosanne was not sitting at the front desk, but someone he hadn't seen before. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that this might be the clerical staff transferred from the police station. Rosanne had happily said before that someone could finally take her shift, allowing her more rest time.
The lady at the front desk, seeing them, smiled politely and reservedly, then briefly introduced herself. Indeed, she came from Tingen City Police Station and had previously encountered a Beyonder incident. Due to her faith in the Goddess, she was transferred to Blackthorn Security Company after vetting.
After a brief chat, Lu Ze and Klein passed through the partition and entered the captain's office.
Dunn was sitting behind his desk, looking at a telegram with deep eyes.
"Captain."
Both of them said simultaneously.
"Our team has two new clerical staff members; you should have seen them."
"Yes, I think Rosanne will be very happy."
Lu Ze nodded.
To be honest, while Rosanne was lively and friendly, her professional ability indeed needed improvement. Her father was originally a team member who died in the line of duty. After his death, the team not only provided a pension but also arranged for Rosanne to join the team, giving her a relatively simple and well-paying job. It must be said that the Goddess Church did quite well in this regard.
"Hmm, let's not talk about that for now."
Dunn picked up the telegram and said to Klein, "Klein, you know Azk, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Azk was my history teacher in university. However, he wasn't my advisor; I occasionally had academic exchanges with him when I was in school."
Klein said with some concealment.
"You all have newspapers, so you should know what happened. Tingen City Police Station is investigating Azk and found out about his relationship with you. Klein, write a document about your interactions with Azk and submit it."
Dunn said. Apparently, he thought that Azk and Klein's interactions were limited to just that, and he probably assumed the police station was just asking as a matter of routine.
Lu Ze pretended to be completely unaware, watching curiously from the side.
After chatting with Dunn for a few more sentences, they were about to leave when Dunn remembered something else and called Lu Ze back: "The Demoness case still has no follow-up. Lu Ze, walk around the streets a few more times recently, try your luck, and see if you can find any members of the Aurora Order."
"Yes."
Lu Ze casually agreed.
You definitely won't find them, because the culprit is right in front of you, Captain.
Klein thought in his heart.
After leaving the office, Klein was still thinking about Lu Ze.
Lu Ze didn't reveal my relationship with Mr. Azk in front of the captain. If I were to report him in turn, wouldn't I seem too excessive?
However, not only does he act alone, but he also has many secrets. Like his powerful vitality that allows him to recover even after being burned like that, and that mysterious and insane voice…
Thinking of this, he suddenly paused, then gave a bitter smile.
But, speaking of secrets, I, Mr. Fool, who presides over the Tarot Club above the gray fog, don't seem qualified to talk about him. And it's not just him; Leonard also has something special about him. I can't possibly report all of them, can I?
Perhaps, I shouldn't be so prejudiced.
After pondering, Klein summarized. Although Lu Ze had something special about him, there were no particularly serious problems for now.
Alright, after the end of next week, once Benson and Melissa and I finish watching "The Count Returns," I'll investigate more carefully, or simply have a good talk with him. Maybe he's just selling the Demoness's internal organs for money, just like Old Neil.
After thinking all this, his heart finally calmed down, and he turned to the office to start writing the report about Azk on the typewriter.
Lu Ze didn't know that he was almost reported by Klein today. He stayed at Blackthorn Security Company until off-duty, then took a carriage home.
Cecilia should still be at school right now. What should I cook tonight?
He thought at the door.
"Welcome back, you're home early today."
Just then, Lu Ze heard Ms. M's gentle voice from behind him. Turning around, he saw her standing behind him, seemingly just returning from outside.
Why did she go out?
Lu Ze was stunned for a moment, then his heart jumped.
If someone else saw this, it would be dangerous!
"Come in quickly!"
He opened the door and whispered to Ms. M.
"What did you go out for?"
Once Ms. M was inside, he growled.
"Just wandering around, enjoying the beauty of Tingen City."
Ms. M said something completely unbelievable, "Hehe, no kidding, I saw that your digestion progress was slow, so I brought you something good."
With that, she took out a book with an undecorated cover from her clothes.
"This is about… The Lord's Holy Scripture."
The book's cover was made of unknown leather, and it felt like human skin to the touch.
