Extraordinary Puppet Master

"Have you seen the murderer's face?"

"No, their speed was incredible. I was knocked unconscious without seeing anything."

"Are you sure you are only transporting coal?"

"I swear, we are just hired workers. Whatever the boss says is whatever it is. Even if it's not a coal mine, there's no way we can open it and inspect it!"

"Why is that manager from Furnace Mining traveling with you?"

"He just said he would drop by the warehouse to hand over the order and then report back to the company."

"Why did the murderer let you go?"

"Sir, we are just a group of temporarily hired dock workers. We really don't know anything!"

After Charlotte asked a bunch of questions to the workers and drivers who were just knocked unconscious, she felt something was wrong, but she had no clue no matter how hard she thought about it.

At this time, Mycroft came to him, patted his shoulder and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. After all, your opponent is Carlin."

Charlotte sighed: "I am actually very reluctant to investigate his case. Carlin is a very rational and cautious person. Although the harm is not as great as those of the cult groups, it is still very dangerous.

I bet that if he really felt threatened, he would not show mercy to me. "

Mycroft also shook his head: "You are still so duplicitous. It's just that you are competitive and unconvinced. If you really didn't want to investigate him, you wouldn't have come to the scene with me."

"There's no point in saying this," Charlotte stopped dwelling on the topic and asked, "I've looked at the situation at the scene. Putting Carlin aside first, there may be a big problem in this furnace mining industry."

Mycroft nodded.

"Yes, you have become more sensitive after being promoted to the professional level. I just checked those intact corpses. There is something wrong with their spirituality. If they had not been dealt with, I am afraid they would have been deformed into evil things. This is what that guy Carlin gave me. Our tips.”

After hearing this, Charlotte's face condensed: "Cultist?"

"Yeah, they're all cultists."

Because cultists are affected by the power of their faith objects, their mental state is not normal. Even if they behave like ordinary people, the pollution in their spirituality has already penetrated deep into their bones.

It may be well hidden at ordinary times, and some professional tests cannot detect spiritual problems, but as long as it dies, it will 100% deform into evil things.

The trainee wizards on the street were directly burned to ashes without any distortion. However, after killing several trainee wizards in the warehouse, Charles specially put a drop of reagent on each of the corpses to suppress the distortion.

Mycroft knew at a glance that these guys were cultists. The probability that several trainee-level transcendent beings from the same organization would happen to be deformed into evil things after their death was too small.

Charlotte then asked: "What about Furnace Mining now?"

Before he could finish speaking, Mycroft answered him: "Chairman Dai Ze disappeared from his home a few hours ago. I suspect he is dead because there are signs of a violent fight at home."

"Did Karin do it?"

Charlotte blurted out without thinking.

Mycroft denied this speculation.

"It's not Carlin or the Shadow Brigade, but another cult group, because although the spirituality at the scene is chaotic, the traces left behind are too obvious.

I understand Carlin's acting style. If he had taken action, there would be no such obvious traces left behind.

Well, we don’t have to worry about their harm anymore, because all the members of this cult group are dead!

Carlin's purpose is to transport the furnace mining to the 'coal mine' here tonight, and I don't know the purpose of the other group, but Dai Ze must have something the other party needs.

In fact, what I am more curious about is, why did Carlin come to the Steam City? "

After hearing this, Charlotte couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the Silent Word. The two mysterious organizations took action at the same time in a short period of time, and all their members were killed.

But he immediately began to think about the new issues mentioned by Mycroft.

"With Carlin's strength, no matter where he goes, it will be safer than the Steam City. It seems that he has a reason to stay here. What exactly does he want to do?"

"Karin can be put aside for the time being. The astrology academy has conducted divination many times and has not been able to get any useful information. We can only wait for him to show up next time to see if we can collect more information.

Compared to the Shadow Troupe, I'm more worried about the cult group that killed Daze.

According to the traces left at the scene, I knew who they were without the need for divination. They were the work of Feast, a religious order that believed in the Blood Duke. "

After hearing this, a trace of worry appeared on Charlotte's face. The Blood Duke was an outright evil god, and his cult was much more dangerous than those cults that believed in Si Chen.

At least Si Chen will not actively support believers to cause trouble. Although the number of cult groups that believe in Si Chen is large, their quality varies.

There are only three professional level wizards in the Word of Silence. All believers bring their own food to work and do not receive any support from novel writers.

But the Blood Gods are different from Si Chen. Their sects are not only well-organized, but also actively send divine favors to enhance the strength of believers, and believers can obtain various resources by making sacrifices to please them.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

Eric lay leisurely on the easy chair and opened the "Rahm Morning News" that Danetta had just bought outside. But as soon as he took a look, Carlin was surprised.

"Daze is dead, what the hell?"

The divination results of the story tell that Dai Ze has something very important to him, which is likely to be related to the promotion of the professional level, or even a trace of Si Chen's power. It is not impossible.

Carlin left hints to Mycroft just to alert the enemy. He also designed a script specifically for Daze to let Daze run away quickly when he realized something was wrong, and then he would intercept him halfway.

But I didn't expect this guy to die right away.

Last night before he took action, Daze had already died at home. Not only him, but also some other executives of Furnace Mining also died at home.

Although there was no body left at the crime scene, it was extremely bloody. A large amount of blood was splashed everywhere, as if the room had been soaked in blood.

After seeing the description of the crime scene, Carlin immediately knew who did it and guessed the other party's motive.

‘I didn’t expect Dai Ze to have something he needed for the feast, but I just don’t know if that thing is what I want. ’

After thinking for a while, Eric directly arranged a divination ceremony.

Karin thought silently in his mind: ‘What is it about Daze that is important to me? ’

He didn't go directly to the divination feast. It was impossible to divination a cult of the Blood God. Angela might be able to do it, so he could just forget it.

While silently chanting in his mind, he also began to control Eric to initiate the ceremony, and the first sentence made him widen his eyes.

‘A Malan crystal lies quietly deep underground’
