Chapter 35 Fear
Klein nodded and continued, "Are you still offering sacrifices to the omniscient and omnipotent God?"
"Yes, we are still offering sacrifices, but we have never received a response since the day we were abandoned." Derrick's tone was filled with pain that was difficult to conceal.
Klein was not moved by this. He said leisurely, "Describe the process of your sacrifice in detail."
Alger was very excited about this. He felt that he had found the true meaning of life and did not notice the pitying eyes of Audrey and Alice at all.
Derrick did not notice all this. He followed Klein's instructions and told the whole process of the sacrifice ceremony. As Alice listened, she suddenly understood what Klein wanted to do - he wanted to try if he could use it?
When Klein announced the end, Alice stood up with others and saluted, and she was confused to find that she was still there.
Alice looked at Klein with a confused look on her face: "Do you have something to tell me?"
"Why don't you tell Justice what alternative materials there are?" Klein asked curiously.
"..." Alice stared at Klein without saying anything.
"...You need me to pay?" Klein, who was stared at by Alice, hesitated for a moment and made a guess.
"No," Alice shook her head, "Your confidentiality level is not enough."
"?" Klein, who never expected to get such an answer, widened his eyes and looked at Alice in disbelief.
"If Justice continues to ask, it's fine if you hear it. If you ask, then your confidentiality level is not enough." Alice answered firmly.
Klein didn't know what to say in response. He opened his mouth several times but couldn't say anything. In the end, Alice only saw Mr. Fool angrily ending the summons.
Back to reality, the restlessness soon invaded Alice's good mood again.
And this time, the signal that things are getting worse seems to have finally arrived-Megose is missing!
When the members of the Aurora Society and the officials of Tingen City were restraining each other, and both sides were exhausted because of each other, Megose disappeared quietly.
Mr. A seemed to be venting his anger by directing his hatred at the official Beyonders, and the missing Megose was a time bomb hidden in the dark.
Alice finally realized that the restlessness that had been hidden in her heart for a long time wanted to remind her of something, but unfortunately, it was too late.
She tried to divine Megose's location, but the person who took Megose away in the dark was not a fool, and must have thought of the means of anti-divination - when there was no interference from anti-divination, Alice might be able to see something with her high spirituality and the preference of fate, such as the witch Triss, but in the case of anti-divination, she was powerless.
As the fear gradually spread from the bottom of her heart, Alice finally ushered in the end.
It was a blonde woman, in her early twenties, wearing a loose skirt and a lotus leaf hat, with a melancholy and calm temperament.
She looked dazed, her belly was bulging high, and she walked in as if she was wandering.
Alice stared at her as she walked into the room, approached her, and smiled at her: "I don't know why, but I suddenly want to come here and take a look."
The moment she saw her, Alice knew who she was - she was Megose! The one who was pregnant with the true Creator's child!
Alice felt the hairs on her body suddenly exploded. She instinctively wanted to jump up and run away, but her muscles couldn't muster any strength. At this time, a hand pressed down Alice's shoulder, and she heard Dunn's voice: "What do you want?"
Alice instantly felt that she had become much calmer, and her muscles seemed to be under her control again. She pulled out a standard but stiff smile and asked in a calm and emotionless voice: "Do you need anything? Coffee or tea?"
"Warm water is fine," Alice heard Megosaus answer, "I want to talk to you about Lanevus. I heard that you know a lot about him."
So Alice stood up with a smile on her face and left here without hesitation. She walked quickly and calmly to the underground and said to several night watchmen: "Megosaus is up there."
The faces of several night watchmen changed instantly. They put away their usual postures and became serious. They arranged their work for each other in a clear and orderly manner - some went to notify non-combatants to leave, some went to contact Cecima urgently, and some went to comfort Megosaus.
As for how Megose showed up at the Nighthawks headquarters under the citywide martial law, it was no longer important—or rather, it was useless for them to care about it.
When Alice returned with the warm water, she had realized the source of her restlessness and fear for the past few days—it was consistent with the source of the shadow of death that had been entangled around Dunn, and it was consistent with the coincidence that Klein felt. The other party's target was not Dunn or Klein, but the Nighthawks headquarters in Tingen City! They probably won't be able to wait for support today.
...But what's here?
Alice didn't have the opportunity to continue thinking. When she put the warm water down and raised her head, Megose was pulling a lot of hair from her head.
Alice stopped stiffly, but Megose didn't seem to notice anything wrong. She reached out to pick up the water cup with a little irritation, took a sip, then slammed the water cup heavily on the table, and grabbed five pieces of flesh from her cheek with her hand.
Alice stared at Megosa's red and white face stiffly. She heard Megosa's question: "What's wrong with you? You don't look well."
"No, I'm fine," Alice pulled the corner of her mouth and forced herself to keep smiling. She wanted to make a joke like usual, but it was obviously a huge challenge for her who could only smile stiffly. "I just suddenly remembered that I still have something to do."
"Is that so," Alice saw Megosa scratch her cheek again, and there were five bloody marks on the other half of her face. "Sorry, my face is a little itchy."
Alice pulled the corner of her mouth. She was not sure whether Megosa could see the abnormality from her expression, but she felt that it would be useless even if Megosa didn't notice the abnormality in her current state.
After Alice retreated to the partition, Klein hid behind Leonard to avoid being seen by Alice-ha, he actually remembered this.
Leonard looked at Alice with a serious expression and said in a deep voice: "We are too late. In three minutes at most, the baby in Megose's belly will be born."
As we all know, restlessness will turn into fear, and then despair will devour thoughts like a wolf...Okay, I'm just fighting the secret cult.
