Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 129 Derrick's Feedback
Roger sighed in his heart, then looked at the third incident.

"Event 3, Loen Kingdom, Backlund, St. George District.

"Name of deceased 1: William Bartley, gender: male, age: 46 years old.

"Name of deceased 2: Julie Bartley, gender: female, age: 44 years old.

"Name of deceased 3: Mike Bartley, gender: male, age: 22 years old.

"Survivor's name: Angelina Bartley, gender: female, age: 24."

Roger was slightly stunned when he saw the long list of four names of the victims.

Because Roger knew the last name "Bartley"!
The Bartleys had long been loyal students and helpers of the Abrahams, but during the latter's first large-scale rebellion, they switched sides and became one of the traitorous families.

But according to the records of the Abraham family, the Bartley family lost both the wife and the army. Not only did they not gain any benefits, but they also lost a Sequence 7 "Astrologer" and two Sequence 8 "Magic Masters".

So when Roger saw their death reports now, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Because logically speaking, they had no chance of touching the Abraham family seal!

"Could it be that the Bartley family later seized the seals of other families?"

Roger thought to himself, then continued to look down:

"The four people involved in this case are close relatives. William Bartley is a factory owner, and his wife Julie Bartley is a civilian employee at the Backlund Veterans Activity Center.

"Their two children, Mike Bartley and Angelina Bartley, are working in management positions at their father's factory and studying metallurgy at Backlund University of Technology, respectively."

"After investigation by the 'Manufactured Punisher,' three Beyonder characteristics were discovered at the scene: one Sequence 8 'Master of Magic' and two Sequence 9 'Apprentices.' No other findings were found."

"Angelina Bartley, the caller and survivor, was confirmed to be a Beyonder of the 'Comprehensive' Path... (The rest of the text is crossed out)"

"Recorded by: Belle Winters."

Roger nodded slightly. If nothing unexpected happened, the survivor, Angelina Bartley, should be a Steam Believer. Judging from her extraordinary characteristic of "Universal", her superior should be an insider of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery.

The "Substitute Punisher" therefore needs to consider the interactions between churches, which may be the key reason why her information is partially hidden.

For Roger, this message was more valuable than the Lampard-Iman and Mona Morris incidents.

Because not only could he confirm the relationship between the Bartley family and the Abraham family, but more importantly, no other remains were found at the crime scene except for the extraordinary characteristics.

This means that the seal related to Mr. "Men" in the other party's hands is still kept somewhere!

"Perhaps I should contact Angelina Bartley, but this could easily be detected by the Steam Church..."

Roger thought quickly, and then looked at the fourth case.

"Event 4, Loen Kingdom, Jianhai County, Constant.

“Name of the person involved: Mia Kaur, Gender: Female, Age: 57.

Isn't it death?
Roger noticed the three words "person involved", which meant that the other party should not have died directly in the incident.

Because what he had originally instructed Alger to do was to find all the relevant "Extraordinary People who died suddenly or went crazy", it was normal for the crazy incidents to appear in the data.

Mia Kaur is a farmer in the Uncas area outside of Constance. On the night of the incident, her neighbor Daniel Hoffman found her eyes red and gnawing on the head of a dead cow in her barn. There was a lot of blood at the scene.

"This scene frightened Daniel Hoffman, who immediately notified the nearby sheriff, who arrested Mia Call and transferred her to the Uncas Police Station.

"This case was initially handled by the Mandated Punisher and later handed over to the Nightwatchers for investigation.

"What we can confirm at this point is that Mia Cawl is not dead, and a small amount of Sequence 9 'Apprentice' Beyonder characteristics have been detected in her body, but they are not harmful.

“At present, the person involved has been admitted to a specialized institution for treatment.

"Recorded by: Bolton Carter, Dave Kreese."

After reading it, Roger felt quite surprised.

"From the description, this Ms. Kaur should be a descendant of a direct member of the Abraham family, but she is unaware of her Beyonder identity.

"Because it only carries a small amount of Beyonder characteristics, it's just going crazy. There's no sign of sudden death or loss of control, and it's not harmful.

"This can also be seen from the fact that she was eventually taken into custody for treatment. For official law enforcement, if they determine that a person is a dangerous out-of-control Beyonder, they should immediately kill them."

After determining that this case had no particular value, Roger looked at the last event:
"Event Five: Loen Kingdom, Backlund, East District.

"Name of deceased: Marcus Meyer, Gender: Male, Age: 46.

"The deceased was an employee of a trading company, a native of Backlund, with no immediate family. At the time of the incident, he was drinking and watching a dogfight at Pascal's Tavern, No. 8 Cornflower Road.

"According to witnesses, Marcus Meyer was completely normal, but suddenly he started bleeding from his mouth and nose, fell to the ground and convulsed and died." After the bar owner called the police, the police and the East District Night Watch team arrived and evacuated the scene.

"The Sequence 6 'Recorder' Beyonder characteristic was discovered on the deceased's body. The Night Watcher then searched Marcus Meyer's apartment, also located on Cornflower Road, and obtained a magical item corresponding to the Sequence 7 'Wizard' level and another magical item corresponding to the Sequence 6 'Mechanic Expert' level.

"Although the deceased was a follower of the Goddess, since the incident occurred in the jurisdiction of the 'Manufactured Punishers', this case is now shared with the 'Manufactured Punishers'. Please be advised.

"Currently, the two sealed objects involved have been sealed by the Starry Church.

"Recorded by: Anna Pavnin, Jennifer Redding."

This case made Roger feel a little strange.

First of all, judging from the "Recorder" potion extracted by Marcus Meyer and the circumstances of his death, he must be related to the Abraham family.

However, after searching his house, the Night Watchmen did not find the seal of the "Apprentice" path. Instead, they found an item of the "Secret Peeper" path and another item of the "Generalist" path.

There are only two possibilities.

First, Marcus Meyer did come into contact with the seal of the Abraham family, but for some reason he lost it or hid it very well.

Second, he belonged to a side branch of the Abraham family with less pure bloodline, so although he was not shot in the head on the spot, he could not avoid death.

"Well, this matter is also worth investigating."

In general, in addition to the many strange aspects of the Lampard Iman incident, Roger's next investigation focus will be on Angelina Bartley and the deceased Marcus Mayer.

"Thank you, Mr. Hanged Man. The information you provided is crucial."

After reading the information, Roger expressed his gratitude to Alger, the "Hanged Man" in the gray fog.

"It's my pleasure."

Alger's tone was quite polite, as if he was happy for Roger's satisfaction.

"By the way, Mr. Sun, did you ask about the 'One-Eyed Shadow that Steals Luck' that I mentioned last time?"

After completing the transaction with Alger, Roger looked at "Sun" Derrick Berg again.

"Yes, Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune'."

Derrick spoke in Giant language, which had been translated by Klein the Fool, and nodded.
"I posted a bounty notice, and a powerful Beyonder found me. He said he had the 'One-Eye of the Shadow of Stealing Luck' but needed me to exchange it for the 'Shepherd' potion formula."

"shepherd?"

Roger frowned slightly. He knew that Silver City had the formulas for the "Secret Prayer" path from Sequence 9 to Sequence 5, but these formulas were obviously not public, especially those at the mid-sequence level.

In this case, it's possible that someone wants to obtain the "Shepherd" formula outside of normal channels, but the question is why the other party would make such a request to Derrick?
After all, Derrick was only a low-sequence Beyonder, and it was a low probability event for him to have a Sequence 5 potion formula.

So in addition to the reason of "just trying his luck", Roger was also worried that the other party might be using something fictitious to deceive Xiao Taiyang or make fun of him.

When he expressed his concerns, Derrick shook his head decisively.

"Don't worry about this. I can find a guarantor. If the other party commits fraud, there will be very serious consequences.

"Besides, that Beyonder is my father's friend."

After hearing what Derrick said, Roger stopped worrying. Although this little "Sun" had a pure heart, his understanding of the rules of Silver City was definitely much better than his own.

Since the other party said so, he decided to believe it.

Even if Derrick was really cheated, the "Shepherd" formula he obtained could be converted into other rewards under the witness of "The Fool" Klein, so as long as Derrick had no objection, Roger would not lose anything.

"Mr. Fool, I request one-way communication."

Roger looked at Mr. Fool at the head of the long bronze table and put forward his request.

"Okay." Klein nodded and used the special properties of the gray fog to create a mechanism that only allowed the two participants, Wheel of Fortune and Sun, to communicate.

Of course, as the ruler of the mysterious space above the gray fog, Klein also eavesdropped on the potion formula in case of emergency.

The fact that the Wheel of Fortune readily provided the formula for the Sequence 5 potion for the "Secret Prayer" pathway gave Alger another jolt of imagination.

"It seems my previous guess was correct...Mr. Wheel of Fortune is most likely a saint of the Aurora Society."

Even Miss Justice realized the extraordinary nature of the Wheel of Fortune.

At this moment, she felt half honored and half grateful. She was honored because she had actually provided help to this demigod.

The good thing is that the "Wheel of Fortune" is a member of the Tarot Club!
