Werewolf hunting rules
Chapter 56 First meeting
The officer's attitude was so bad that it was jaw-dropping.
Clayton asked the soldiers about his identity. Without any pretense, the soldiers proudly introduced this noble man to them.
He turned out to be a cavalry commander, his name was Faslag Kules, and he was a local.
Being a soldier in his hometown is an extremely easy job for a local. He has never been to the front line for training, so he can easily be promoted in the rear. This is largely due to his aristocratic bloodline and matching generosity. In addition, he has a wealthy baron brother.
His brother, Caroline Culles, was a well-known person in St. Alvin Parish.
Clayton remembered the name.
The five-yearly mayoral election is about to take place at the end of this year, but last year, people began to speculate who would be a strong contender for this seat.
People who are interested in running for mayor this year have come forward, and busy people have compiled lists for these people.
Caroline Culles was ranked first among the five candidates in a descending order.
Although he has a noble status and is rich, his two most outstanding advantages are still lagging behind compared to other candidates.
But this gap is smaller than that between him and ordinary people.
Since this is the territory of the army, everyone can only swallow their anger, even Julius is silent.
It is common knowledge among ordinary people that soldiers are just gangsters with guns.
Creighton took his rifle and walked to a deserted corner and stood against the wall, his ears picking up the gossip in the air.
Those who came with the Sheriff's Department rested on a bench on the other side of the corner.
Clayton is becoming less and less accustomed to sitting down now. He always feels that sitting down will slow down his reaction speed and make him unable to cope with emergencies.
At the same time, the feeling of powerlessness he had often felt when he was first discharged from the army returned.
No matter how bad the army is, he at least knows that there are people who can help watch his back, and there are people who are willing to carry a gun and go with him, not because of any so-called friendship, but because of the strict military laws.
These peace officers all have weapons, but they have no common interests, and there is no need to fight side by side.
After doing business for several years, he thought he had become a small bourgeois. The arrival of the Holy Grail Society made him lose this level of understanding again.
Citizens are useless in the face of battle.
Now he belonged neither to the army nor to the city.
There's almost no one he can trust here, and he's lost almost all of his family.
Gradually, Clayton fell into mourning for life, and his whole person seemed to ascend into the universe of endless philosophy.
This also caused him to not notice the corridors with people coming and going on the east and west sides. However, a nurse in white deviated from the straight track and was walking towards the corner where he was.
"Clayton Bello." She leaned close to Clayton and asked him softly, her voice soft.
As soon as someone disturbed him, Clayton's soul immediately fell back to the earth.
"Yes, what do you want from me?" Clayton answered her in a low voice.
The nurse girl's voice was also very soft, but the weight was very strong.
"I am Athena Bai Luge. I heard that you are looking for me?"
The Spider Priest is talking to him!
Realizing this, Clayton's muscles suddenly tightened. His back left the wall and the muzzle of the rifle he was holding was slightly raised. However, he also realized that there were many soldiers in the military hospital and this was not a safe place. Anywhere to shoot.
Shooting here caused misunderstandings. Of course Spider Priest was able to hide it, so there was no way he would be spared.
"You are very wise. This time I invite someone to see you. Don't kill the wrong person again." A sweet smile appeared on the nurse's young face, but this smile did not belong to her. Deep down, it was another existence. Talk to Clayton.
As long as they stood one meter further away from the corridor, the police officer and the people sent by the church would be able to spot their abnormal posture.
But Clayton knew it was useless.
Although the nurse is not the real person, the Spider Priest is definitely watching nearby.
As long as she makes a soldier "fire", any abnormality can be covered up.
He was not completely at a disadvantage.
"I guess less than three days."
He stretched out a hand and touched the nurse's slender neck to check for marks, so that he could restrain her if necessary.
And although this posture may seem strange to outsiders, it is not incomprehensible.
Athena did not let the body push away his hand, and allowed Clayton to touch her like a well-behaved lover, with pure curiosity in her eyes.
"What three days?"
"The duration of your ability, of course." Clayton told her kindly. "I already know the limit of your abilities. Before Moore went to Notre Dame, you and he were separated for three days, right? You didn't go back to the strip club these days, right?"
"Why do you think so?"
Clayton didn't answer her question, Athena's hypnotic powers had already been figured out the day he met Moore.
That kind of power is not direct mental control, but an amplification of people's existing thoughts.
The Spider Priest made two mistakes, but maybe she didn't care about those people at all.
She encouraged Viva, the widow of the first deceased, to shoot Creighton, but failed, and Clayton believed that she should have used her powers on Viva that time. The reason why it failed may be that when people are extremely sad, they lose other emotions and become more rational to a certain extent.
Of course, this is just a guess.
It wasn't until Moore's accomplices fled that he was sure he had the right idea.
There are only three known messengers from the Holy Grail Society, and Moore's helper must be a local person who was recently found.
If it was a hired gangster, he would not say "pledge of allegiance", let alone show such an expression after feeling betrayed.
Moore may not be smart, but he's not a fool either.
The only thing that can make him feel that the other party should not betray his foundation is Athena's hypnotic ability.
As for the failure of hypnotic ability, Clayton believes that there are only two reasons.
First, the conditions are not met. The idea that the hypnotized person is amplified is very weak. Even if it is amplified, it is not enough to allow them to firmly carry out Athena's orders.
Second, time has exceeded the limit.
Moore claimed that he made an impromptu decision to bring his own men to see the holy relics. This behavior was to increase the faith of believers and cultivate loyalty.
If he was sure that his subordinates were completely under control, there would be no need to do anything more.
People from the Salvation Army blocked the only road leading to the ruins of Notre Dame. If Clayton were Moore, he would never conflict with the military over something unnecessary.
Apparently, Moore's men didn't follow orders to kill Joe because of not just one of those factors, but both.
"But this is the first time I've seen you use your possession ability. Is your true body nearby?"
The nurse's mouth twitched and she gave a fake smile: "Don't say anything too complicated to me, she won't be able to react."
By this she was obviously referring to the body Athena now manipulated.
"Then let me put it another way, this should be the third time we meet, right?"
Although Clayton used it as a question, his tone was very sure.
He knew that Athena and Moore were not together when she killed Ensign Charles.
When Clayton and Joe first arrive at Notre Dame, Moore is dragging the body, possibly as a ritual sacrifice to restore the placenta of the original whale.
The Spider Priest probably knew this type of spell, but the reason she didn't do it was simply because she didn't see the holy object at all and didn't know it was damaged.
Clayton guessed that Moore and Athena came to Sasha City for completely different purposes. She directed Moore to go to Notre Dame to seek Wonderland just to help her children. The real purpose was to use the Salvation Army to get into the army. .
Considering that the Spider Priest has never exuded her own scent so far, Clayton even suspected that Lieutenant Charles, who stood on the high platform during the day and gave a preaching speech, had been replaced by Athena Burruge, and the body was hidden in Somewhere outside Notre Dame, some kind of signal was left for Moore to help process.
The nurse's expression finally changed: "You know, Clayton, you are so perceptive that it's disgusting."
