From Prisoner to Si Chen

After this incident.

In the following games, everyone lost their initial interest.

The topic of discussion also shifted from fighting competitions to the mysterious realm. When faced with novel things, they follow their instinctive drive and want to find out more.

As a member of the "Mysterious Research Group" interest club, Miss Dedel naturally became the center of the topic.

She was originally the most dazzling core figure in this circle, but now she has become even more dazzling.

Young men and women gathered around her, asking questions, looking curious.

Such as:

What is the devil?

How can one make a pact with the devil?

Is the power of the devil terrible?

Are there many sorcerers in the empire?

Does the official have a way to deal with the devil?

What is the "gnosis" mentioned by the chief of the purification department?

etc.

Miss Didier always maintained that gentle smile. She could answer some questions, and she was not clear on some questions, but she told them all frankly.

Faced with unanswerable questions, everyone also thought about asking Ji Lan.

But when they saw the young man in black coat sitting alone on the small sofa, looking like he wouldn't let strangers approach him, they gave up the idea.

Originally, facing this illegitimate son of Earl Farhan's family, they felt contempt and rejection. But when he learned that this peer had the strength of a master and the ability to spy on and identify demons, his attitude quietly changed.

Became somewhat inexplicable awe of him.

Compared with these, the identity of an illegitimate child is not worth mentioning.

That mysterious temperament that transcends identity is like a black shadow, always shrouding the young man's body, making people hold their breath unconsciously.

But what they didn't know was that Gilan seemed to be drinking tea alone and in a daze, but he was actually quietly observing someone.

This person is the blond girl who has been sitting next to Miss Didier.

The enchanting lady named Jenna Claire.

After silent observation, Gillan can almost confirm that she is the "Miss Rabbit" in the memory of the black market businessman "Big Goose".

This woman is very rich and is also passionate about underground movies.

But it is unlikely that she wanted to watch it for herself, because the amount purchased was too large.

Therefore, Gillan judged that this "Miss Rabbit" was either a middleman who specialized in acquiring small underground films and selling them to the upper class circles. Either they are collecting on behalf of someone or an organization, and they have some ulterior secret.

Thinking of her identity as the daughter of the president of the July Baptist Church, Gillan suddenly had a guess.

‘Although the Baptist Church disdains the red tape of the Hope Church, most of its members are devout Dawn believers. Why are they so keen on underground movies? ’

A thought flashed through Jilan's mind, and her heart trembled.

‘Could it be... the second Si Sui, the old god “Fan Mu”? ’

After the divergence and extension of his thoughts, a related power organization popped out of his mind——

The old god's secret sect "Golden Bough of Dawn"!

Is it possible that July Baptist Church was infiltrated by this secret cult? !

Gillan was not sure. After all, there was a lack of clear evidence, and these were just conclusions he derived based on one-sided findings.

Furthermore, what the July Baptist Church is like has nothing to do with him.

Everyone chatted in the box for nearly an hour.

Near noon, the "Monthly Salon" competition was completely over, and everyone got up and prepared to leave.

Cordell generously invited everyone to dine at a high-end restaurant near the club, but Miss Didier declined on the grounds that she had something important to do.

Without her participation as a core figure, the others were not so active, so the proposal to have a dinner party was abandoned.

At the time of separation, when everyone walked out of the box, Miss Dedel at the back quietly grabbed Gillan's sleeve.

"Mr. Gillan, I'm sorry, could I take up a moment of your time."

She pushed her pale blond hair behind her ear, revealing a white ear, and her soft eyes showed expectation.

Beside him, the blonde girl named Jenna was quietly following.

Ji Lan nodded slightly when he saw that this was exactly what he wanted.

However, Didier did not speak immediately, but turned to look at the door.

Milinda's little head poked in, a look of gossip on her face. Behind her stood two young men, Cordell and Prince, with concerned expressions.

"Sister Milinda, please close the door."

Dedel smiled politely.

"I have something private and I want to talk to Mr. Gillan alone so that no one can hear me."

Hearing this, the expressions of Cordell and Prince changed slightly. Among them, Cordell looked at Gillan with some hostility, even warning.

Gillan turned a blind eye.

"Oh." Milinda looked disappointed, but she closed the box door knowingly. Finally, he also mouthed to Jilan, as if to say: "Brother Jilan, come on."

Ignoring the hints in the eyes of his brother Prince next to him.

Click.

Only Dedel, Gillan and Jenna were left in the room.

"That's right, Mr. Gillan."

Didier spoke for a moment before speaking.

"I have a good best friend who has been behaving a little abnormally recently. I suspect that she is being harmed by the devil or a mysterious force... But due to the lack of screening methods, I am very distressed."

"I wonder if I could ask you to help me go take a look."

Her tone was sincere and full of hope.

Ji Lan raised his eyebrows and said:

"Why don't you contact the official purification department? They must have many ways to solve this kind of thing."

"No." Dedel shook her head.

"My best friend...she is a noble, and her family values ​​tradition and face. And this matter involves people and things in some circles, so it is not convenient for the official to know, so as not to leak it and cause damage to her reputation."

Gillan immediately thought of the newspaper headlines he saw this morning.

‘Could it be that those aristocratic ladies who behaved inappropriately were bewitched by the devil, or were they influenced by mysterious forces? ’

He secretly guessed.

At this time, I heard Dedel whisper again:

"I wonder if you are sure, Mr. Gillan? If you can help me solve this matter, I will give you a corresponding reward as a reward for your hard work."

"Then you're not worried about me spreading this matter?"

Gilan asked with interest.

Miss Dedel smiled slightly, shook her head and said:

"Mr. Gillan is a noble young master from Earl Farhan's family. I believe in your character, and I believe in my own vision even more."

"A gentleman as good as you wouldn't do such boring things, right?"

Gilan secretly lamented that Didier was worthy of being the second daughter of the Earl's family. Her words and deeds had the temperament that a noble lady should have, and her conversation was even more mysterious.

With this high hat on, no matter how much he tries to show off his face, he will definitely remain tight-lipped. Moreover, Didier seemed to be sure that he would not leak this matter. After all, the consequence would be to offend her, and the risks and benefits were not proportional.

Gillan originally wanted to establish a good relationship with Dedel so that he could explore channels in the future. After pretending to think, he nodded slightly:

"Of course not. Then I will accept your request, Miss Dedel."

Gilan put the short top hat on his head, adjusted it, and added:

"But I can't guarantee that this matter will be resolved."

"Of course, I know."

Dedel was delighted and nodded.

"Then how about we continue to meet at the Silver Lizard at ten o'clock tomorrow morning?"

"Okay." Gillan agreed.

Miss Didier lifted up her skirt and curtsied slightly to him.

But the blonde girl Jenna beside her changed her expression subtly. There was a trace of unnaturalness in his eyes.
