New Gods of North America

A spacious van, surrounded by a crowd, took the lead in departing, and the accompanying carriage team also took away most of the guards on the scene.

Wayne confirmed the appearance of the person in the distance with binoculars, "This is Priest Tyrrell from the Exorcist Association."

Then three carriages, 'one large and two small,' left, and a considerable portion of the guards in the manor were reduced again.

Wayne recognized the carriage of Georgeburg Church, "Priest Barzini is also gone."

Next was a configuration of two carriages, like a priest with a few followers.

Wayne recalled slightly, trying to remember the other person's appearance with Ineisha next to him, "Don't recognize him, let's just write Middle-aged A for now."

After that, there was Middle-aged B, Fatty C, Bald D, Skinny E...

Among them, Wayne had even seen two people in the cathedral before, when Bishop Corleone was using Wayne as a target to 'criticize by allusion,' they should also be priests or exorcism directors from some city in Virginia.

The guests in the manor left one after another, and the number of servants also seemed to gradually return to a scale close to that of the daytime.

The two guys who are still at the entrance of the manor's main house at this moment look very much like the 'masterminds behind the scenes'.

One is the old acquaintance, Priest Pasiel, and the other is an unrecognized older middle-aged man or a young old man.

Wayne compromised slightly and planned to call him Middle-aged/Elderly F.

Lina raised an objection on the other side, "Wait, that's Priest Norton from South Carolina. It's not clear what he's specifically responsible for, but he's not the local parish priest."

"You know him?"

"The members who went to Atlanta with us before all know him. Right? Echo."

"Yes, Miss Lina."

"Okay... then Doug, change it. Priest Norton, out-of-towner. Our detective agency doesn't have any grudges with him, right?"

"Not anymore. He used to target us with a bad sheriff, and we happened to meet him on the road when we returned, so we beat him up. He shouldn't know it was us."

"..."

Wayne didn't know if he should trust the agents' professional abilities, "Doug, make a key mark."

"Yes, sir."

Finally, even Priest Pasiel left the manor by carriage, and only that out-of-town priest returned to the main house surrounded by servants.

Wayne was a little convinced at this moment, "This manor is registered in the exorcism department as the property of a rich man from South Carolina. Now the one who stayed is also a priest from the same state, is he here for you? Is he arranging for people to attack the detective agency as revenge on you guys?"

"Shouldn't be..."

Lina turned her head to look at 'Echo', then turned her gaze back, seeming a little uncertain, "We were very strategic when we attacked, we covered his face at the time, and no one spoke. We were all wearing gloves."

Wayne had a slight brainstorm, "What if the other party knows some extraordinary people with special abilities? Or like you, can pray to the 'Wise Sage' for enlightenment or something."

Lina reacted quickly, "Then he is a heretic. If it were in the Old Continent, as long as he was reported to the Holy See, he could be sent to the Inquisition."

...Anyway, other people are ruined when they live in there, but you're like you're at home, right?

Wayne felt that the whole thing seemed to have become a bit of a mess now.

But since the other party is related to this manor, then it can be considered a lucky coincidence.

To sort it out a bit, that Mr. Wiseman said that Mr. Baker had secretly visited here, indicating that the owner of the manor has some unclear relationship with Cohen Pharmaceuticals.

Now, this priest from South Carolina and the two attackers from last night have all stayed in the manor, which means that they are all on the same line.

Rounding it off, those on the Cohen Pharmaceuticals line are definitely not 'friends', and those who attacked the detective agency are even less so.

As for those who visited tonight, it's hard to say...

Priest Pasiel, this old man, is also a bit subtle now, he doesn't look like a good person, and the cathedral is now arranging for the detective agency to investigate him.

It doesn't seem appropriate to 'discard' him, but it doesn't feel quite right to 'carry him'.

Ineisha noticed that a servant drove a carriage to the annex at this time, and Doug's owl was also flying towards everyone.

So she reminded, "The two people in the annex seem to be going to take action again tonight."

This is just right.

No matter how big a bowl of rice is, you have to eat it one bite at a time.

...

To be honest,

After the detective agency has been 'waiting for the rabbit' for so many days in a row, Wayne feels that the state of 'the enemy is in the open, I am in the dark' is indeed more enjoyable.

Leaving Conner and 'Echo' to continue to stay near the manor,

Wayne drove two carriages and quietly followed the other party.

Before the other party set off, Peter secretly hid the withered leaves that Ineisha had smeared with potion on the carriage that the servants had prepared for the two attackers,

Then the group followed the other party from afar, not even seeing the kerosene lamps on the carriages, and embarked on the familiar road back to the detective agency.

Wayne's simple line-of-sight 'radar' function can actually achieve this 'over-the-horizon tracking' effect.

Unfortunately, that thing can only last for fifteen minutes at most, and it will automatically explode when the time is up. Even if you don't consider the situation of alarming the other party in advance, the durability is not high enough,

It is still more suitable to nail those who can 'hide' during actual combat for the time being.

When they were more than three miles away from the detective agency, these two guys stopped the carriage in a small forest on a tributary of the river, and then switched to walking.

After Wayne and the others found the other party's carriage, they asked Doug to release the owl to find people in the night sky, and then drove the other party's carriage away, and by the way, let Liam return to the detective agency to warn in advance,

Several partners stayed in place, thinking about how to give the other party a surprise later.

These two guys are still not easy to deal with, especially the guy who can make a bunch of foul-smelling 'cancer cells' grow on the tree trunk after touching it.

Touching a tree is so terrifying, I don't know what a 'person' will turn into if he touches it.

Everyone blindly guessed that he should be an extraordinary person in the 'Abyss' field. If he really can't be kept, then he will have to be sent away.

Many members of the detective agency are located 'opposite' him according to the field division. If it weren't for the fact that Wayne still has a bunch of undigested spiritual power in his stomach, he wouldn't want to keep prisoners.

Unfortunately, these two guys didn't have much fighting spirit tonight.

Gunshots and explosions soon rang out in the detective agency's small courtyard, and fireworks rose into the sky from time to time, as lively as New Year's Eve.

After the commotion subsided, the agents, carrying fishing nets, followed Doug and the others and rushed over, just in time to watch the scene of them emerging from the river and climbing ashore nearby.

After they moved slightly away from the river bank, a row of kerosene lamps were suddenly uncovered, everyone took up their guns, and everyone laid out their nets.

The two looked at the surrounding situation and immediately raised their hands to surrender:

"Don't do it! We are also people from the church."

Liam quickly put on his hat, "Bullshit! How dare you tarnish the reputation of the church, you must be pretending! Kill them first!"

The other party's desire to survive was obviously stronger, and they changed their words without thinking, "I... we are bounty hunters."

Um...

Although the direction of the topic is a bit strange, the result is not bad.

Then the agents threw the ropes over and asked them to tie up their teammates' wrists and knees separately,

After taking them back to the detective agency for a brief trial and rummaging through some of the items on the carriage,

"Ah? You really are peripheral members of the Exorcist Association?!"
