Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 182: The Conspiracy of MI
When Odysseus announced some of the information he had, the other members were stunned.

Few dared to hold a ceremony to commemorate the advent of the evil god in Backlund, as there were several demigods stationed in the city for a long time, and many demigods hidden in the dark, representing their respective organizations, conducting transactions and other matters in Backlund.

This is not a good place to hold a divine descent. The uncle sitting next to you picking his feet might be a demigod, and he doesn't want evil gods to disturb his peaceful life.

Then when the other party becomes aware of this ritual, they will most likely try to destroy the ritual during the preparation stage.

Under such circumstances, the ceremony still has to be held, and the "leader" can still issue corresponding tasks. This shows that the other party's ceremony is very secretive. At least until now, we have only learned the corresponding information, but have not found the place where they hold the ceremony.

For Odysseus, the most important thing at the moment is to collect intelligence and make judgments.

At the same time, he also used this opportunity to alert MI9 and the members of the secret organization hiding in Backlund.

Although some of them would like to see their own evil gods descend, they may not necessarily be willing to see other organizations descend their evil gods.

So Odysseus took the initiative to release some information.

Member "Hound" asked again: "Which organization is performing such a ritual?"

Odysseus replied: "The Ascetic Order of Moss."

The members discussed it in a low voice. As intelligence personnel, they certainly knew about the organization "Moss Ascetic Order".

However, this secret organization has never taken any extreme actions. Among secret organizations, it is not very dangerous or evil.

Why are they suddenly holding such a ceremony this time? And in Backlund?

Sitting in the corner, Xio was a little confused the whole time, and it felt a little unreal. She had been planning to take on some tasks and make some extra money, so how did she suddenly get involved in the evil god?

The Hound, who knew some advanced intelligence, asked again, "Are they going to let the 'Hidden Sage' descend upon Backlund?"

Odysseus was about to nod, but suddenly recalled some other information he had obtained, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

Under the mask, the "Hound" was a little surprised: In other words, it is very likely that another evil god is about to descend!

It is surprising that the "Moss Ascetic Order" does not necessarily hold a ceremony to allow the "Hidden Sage" to descend.

Although most of the other members didn't quite understand what the two people's questions and answers meant, they were all a little uneasy and frightened.

The arrival of the evil god means Backlund could become a living hell! All sorts of unimaginable things will happen.

Odysseus waved his hand: "Let's get started."

This means that the task he just assigned can only provide so many clues.

At this time, the Hound suddenly said, "Mr. Chief, I have an important piece of information to trade with you."

Odysseus asked: "Information about what?"

"It involves a case that the Mechanical Heart is investigating."

Odysseus was slightly taken aback: "Okay, make an offer."

"20 pounds."

No one paid much attention to it. At this party, intelligence transactions were generally between 10 and 30 pounds.

A transaction of 20 pounds is obviously not a very important matter.

But when Odysseus got the note written in advance by the "Hound", he was slightly stunned.

The note read: Danesi from the Operations Department introduced Clermond Donahue to the Duke of Celtic. They met this morning and it seems that they are planning to harm you.

Odysseus put the note away. "I'll notify the Mechanical Heart."

This is quite important information. Not to mention 20 pounds, even if "Hound" charged 200 pounds, it would not be much. After all, this is something only known within "MI".

The "hound" costs 20 pounds, which is obviously a cover-up.

Odysseus took out two ten-pound notes from his wallet and continued to think about this while watching the waiter hand them to the "hound".

Danesi is the head of the operations department of MI9. Last week, when he helped Hugh solve the problem of the enemy spy organization, he threatened Odysseus and wanted to steal Odysseus's spoils.

The Duke of Celt was a demigod loyal to the royal family, the one who appeared in the Capin case.

It was said that he was the director of MI9, and that he and Georgina Augustus were in charge of two different spy agencies. Georgina was the king's personal intelligence officer, so the previous plan against the Feysac people was presided over by Georgina.

As for Corey Mond, he was a section chief of the Operations Department of MI9. He had a high Adam's apple and it looked like there was an egg stuck in his throat.

His younger brother was once one of the extraordinary bodyguards protecting Capin, but was shot dead by Odysseus, so he has always held a grudge and has been collecting evidence of the "leader's" crimes.

Considering that Odysseus had just offended Danesi last week, his introduction of Coreymond to meet Celt was definitely not just a matter of having tea and chatting.

This made Odysseus sigh inwardly, as all these thorny problems came together.

Odysseus tried his best to concentrate and listen to the members' transactions. Party member "Wolverine" issued another task: "Help me find a follower of a mysterious existence called "The Fool". Just find useful clues and you can get 100 pounds from me.

"If you find a true believer, you can get at least 300 pounds in reward!"

Odysseus smiled behind the mask and thought to himself: I don't know if I can be considered a follower of the "Fool", but I know very well that you are looking for members of the Tarot Club like me.

If you are simply looking for someone, the reward is very generous.

If it were when he first came to Backlund, Odysseus would have wanted to tie himself up and collect the bounty.

Then he was rescued by the "Mechanical Heart".

At this time, the sarcastic "Elephant" laughed and said, "Are you sure? What hidden being would call themselves 'The Fool'? It sounds stupid. Are all believers fools?"

Odysseus looked at him with a smile, without making any statement.

Wolverine said coldly, "This is a being who has demonstrated power in the real world."

The "elephant" curled his lips, but didn't dare to say anything else.

Joking aside, he certainly couldn't afford to offend the secret existence of the extraordinary world.

Moreover, he was planning to leave Backlund. This was his last time attending the party, and he didn't want to get into trouble at this time.

Many members are interested in Wolverine's mission, but because the bounty is too high, they doubt whether those believers are all powerful.

"That's not the case." Wolverine explained, "The difficulty of this mission lies in finding them, because I can't provide you with any clues about those believers."

The other members were all stunned. So, whether they could find clues for this mission depended entirely on luck.

After the "Wolverine" mission ended, the transaction continued.

At the end of the gathering, Odysseus said, "I have a few extraordinary materials you might find useful: the 'Eyeball of the Ancient Nasra Giant Ape,' the 'Blood of the Black Fish,' and the dust formed from a complete 'Parasite Spirit.' Each is 160 pounds."

Sequence 9 materials didn't command much of a premium unless someone was desperate for them.

The members who had bought the potion formula from Odysseus were stunned at first, then began to rush to buy it and spontaneously started to raise the price, which soon reached 180 pounds.

Although there is a potion formula, the main ingredients of sequence level 9 are not easy to find all at once. Three weeks have passed, and some people have not bought any main ingredients.

Odysseus waved his hand and said, “There are more than one of these extraordinary materials, so there is no need for you to bid.

"It doesn't matter if you didn't buy any. I can provide more of these three materials, but it will take some time before I can give them to you."

The main reason is that "Little Sun" is going on a new exploration, and he can only provide new extraordinary materials after he returns to Silver City.

Of course, "Little Sun" has not set off yet, but Odysseus has no time to initiate a new deal with him now.

After hearing what the "leader" said, the members of the party who needed these materials all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hound" and others speculated that the "leader" had obtained the channels for extraordinary materials from somewhere, and was able to trade so many extraordinary materials at once.

Although these are all Sequence 9 level materials, this kind of "large quantity and sufficient supply" is rare.

Soon, Odysseus sold all 7 Sequence 9 potions and earned 1120 pounds.

There are also three other members who have trading needs and want to order extraordinary materials from Odysseus.

When the transaction was completed, the party also came to an end.

As usual, Odysseus watched the members leave, left some gold pounds to the waiters, asked them to trade information with other members, and made some arrangements in the basement before leaving.

……

19 King's Road.

This is the residence of the Duke of Celt. The Duke has black hair and golden eyes, and he wears formal attire, giving people a mature and elegant feeling.

At this time, he was in the living room, receiving several guests.

Celt also has his own office at the headquarters of MI9, but he rarely appears there. However, he actually controls MI9.

Coreymond was the last one in line. He felt a little nervous as he watched people being called away one by one and then leaving.

When it was finally his turn, it was around ten in the morning.

Led by the butler to the living room, Coreymond finally met the real director of MI9.

Even among the members of MI9, few have ever seen the director of this department, and the person who is currently working in the director's office all year round is actually the secretary of the Duke of Celtic.

"Please sit down." Duke Celt said to Coremond without any expression. "I heard from Danesi that you have something very important to report to me?"

"Yes." Coremond did not sit down, or rather, he did not dare to sit down, because the Duke exuded tremendous pressure, which made Coremond lower his head and dare not look at him.

He took a deep breath, as if organizing his words, before saying, "Someone has learned of some very important plans of ours."

Celt didn't ask, so Kleinmond continued, "In Backlund, there's a very famous intelligence officer. He gave himself the codename 'Chief.'"

Celtic nodded: "I know."

"He previously protected one of our informants, Hugh Dilcha, but during this incident, he exposed a big secret of his own." Coremond said:

"I've repeatedly questioned the members of the Operations Division who were also involved in this operation. At the time, the 'leader' had the waiter shout that he had crucial intelligence about Bruce..."

At this point, he paused and explained, "Bruce is the Manufactured Punisher informant who sold information to the Feysac people."

Coreymond didn't know that it was a trap designed by Georgina. He only knew that finding this informant was a very important task at that time. It seemed that he had sold a piece of intelligence to the enemy country that attracted the attention of the top leaders, and even the King's Guard sent people to kill him directly.

However, after the psychic communication, it was discovered that the secret had been leaked, so "MI9" received an urgent task at that time to investigate the people Bruce had contacted during his lifetime, which led to "Hound" issuing the task at the occult research conference.

But what information Bruce betrayed was unknown to Coreymond.

Celt said again: "I know."

"It may seem like nothing on the surface, but when we issued the mission, we didn't specify why we were investigating Bruce." Coreymond said, "But the 'leader' is very confident that as long as Bruce's name is called out, our people will definitely come out to help!

"According to the intelligence provided by Hugh Dilcha, she didn't know what was special about Bruce, so it was impossible for the 'leader' to get the corresponding information from her.

"This means that the 'chief' has the channels to know Bruce's specialness.

"Given the recent Kapin incident, it's not surprising that the 'chief' could have guessed that our people were monitoring him.

“But if he has no problems, he should think that the members of the task force who are monitoring him are doing so for Kapin’s case!
"But the fact that he's using Bruce as an excuse to get our attention is very unusual.

"I think he should know some secrets about Bruce."

Celt pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, the 'leader' seemed to have killed your brother."

Coreymond felt even greater pressure than before, and a thin layer of sweat immediately broke out on his forehead. "Although there is a personal grudge, I... I mainly don't want MI9 to be deceived."

"Heh." Duke Celt laughed. "That's a crude lie, but in my opinion, only when there's a personal grudge would one go to such lengths to investigate."

At this moment a servant came in quickly and respectfully handed the Duke a telegram.

Celt glanced at the contents of the telegram before saying, "The 'leader' is quite a talent when it comes to intelligence."

Having said this, he handed the telegram to Claymond: "Take a look at it."

That was a report from "Hound". The "Leader" had just reminded "MI9" that a secret organization was performing a ritual to prepare for the arrival of a certain evil god.

Celt sighed, "Before this, we hadn't received any relevant reports. No wonder Bishop Horamick was willing to personally protect this intelligence officer."

Kerreymond suddenly felt that the director might not investigate the "leader". He asked: "Then... the 'leader' should..."

Celt said, "Immediately launch a special investigation into the 'leader'! Once the results are in, I will explain them to the 'Mechanical Heart'."

Coreymond breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had made the right bet.

For the Duke of Celt, there is a very sensitive secret hidden behind the name Bruce. Just in case, he still has to check it out to be at ease.

Even if it's just a suspicion, we have to investigate it thoroughly, and even if it offends the "Mechanical Heart", we have to investigate it.

Coremond raised the corner of his mouth. The so-called 'special investigation' meant that the 'leader' could be arrested and interrogated first.

There was no need to provide evidence for the "Mechanical Heart" or any arrest warrant. They could arrest anyone they saw, and they could also arrest those around them for questioning.
