Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 44 Sealed Object 2-351
"Tell me."

Roger didn't expect that the Nighthawks would get a clue so quickly.

"The first shooter wasn't a professional killer. He was just an ordinary man in debt. Someone took advantage of his vulnerability and offered him money to attack you at the association's opening ceremony."

"And he agreed? Or was there any Beyonder involved?" Roger raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Yes. We still need to investigate the specific channel of influence." Klein gave an affirmative answer.

"As for the last two individuals, they were hired by Tri-Union Pharmaceuticals because they weren't on the list of suppliers the Tingen Stray Animal Protection Association planned to purchase animal rabies vaccines from. That's why they took this risk."

"I understand." Roger was not surprised.

The protection and sheltering of stray animals is not just a public welfare for animals, but an all-round improvement of social welfare. For example, sheltering stray animals and uniformly vaccinating them with rabies vaccines will greatly reduce the risk of rabies infection in the human community.

This influence may not be apparent in the short term, but in the first half of a year, the number of human rabies cases will drop significantly.

You know, in this era, the commercialization of rabies vaccine has only started recently, and many pharmaceutical companies are hoping to make a fortune from it.

But if the number of human rabies cases in society is suppressed, then the willingness of ordinary people to spend money on rabies vaccination will definitely decrease.

As a result, the choices for pharmaceutical companies become very narrow - either engage in price wars, or spend a lot of money to "sponsor research" and promote policy implementation, or simply shoot the leading bird and kill those "people who don't know the rules."

Sanlian Company obviously chose the most irrational but also the lowest cost option.

But is the truth really just this?
Roger didn't believe it with every fiber of his being.

You know, Ince Zangwill's original plan was to use Lanevus's deceitful fiancée, Megose, to have her interact with the projection of the True Creator and become pregnant with the latter's offspring. He then had her go to the Blackthorn Security Company and force Dunn Smith, whose mind was already unclear, to retrieve Saint Selina's ashes and use them to eliminate the True Creator's offspring.

During this process, the power of Saint Selina's ashes will be severely damaged, which also creates excellent conditions for Ince Zangwill to arrange the subsequent ceremony to be promoted to "Night Watchman".

To realize this plan, a basic prerequisite must be met, that is, the "oversights in line with human laziness" that occasionally exist in the security of Chanis Gate must be maintained as much as possible.

However, the unexpected appearance of Roger made the security issue of Chanis Gate in Tingen City come into the sight of the Temple in advance. They not only strengthened the guard of Chanis Gate, but also sent more Night Watchmen from the Temple to assist Tingen's Night Watchmen team in defense.

Therefore, for Ince Zangwill, the former Archbishop of the Church of Evernight, it would be easy for him to notice the only survivor of the attacking team, Roger Abraham, and he would certainly test Roger as a matter of course.

Faced with the attack at the banquet, Roger was forced to use the ability of "Noisy One", which allowed Ince to obtain a lot of information. Later, the Nighthawks' investigation pointed to Tri-Pharma, which had sufficient motives. This is also in line with the "plot rationality" that needs to be ensured as much as possible during the use of 0-08.

In comparison, the first gambler who drew his gun seemed very out of place.

Because of his existence, the whole incident was introduced with supernatural factors, and the Nighthawks were involved again. This was unlikely to be done by Ins, otherwise it would be superfluous and asking for trouble.

"It seems necessary to ask Amon, He might know something."

Roger pondered inwardly and asked Klein:
"How long are you going to keep me locked up in this hotel?"

"As I said last time, it will take one or two days at the earliest, four or five at the latest, but I'm guessing it won't take more than three days because you don't know what Mr. Willis did in the guest room upstairs."

Klein shrugged and gave a "you know what I mean" smile. "No, I can guess." Roger also smiled.

Mr. Willis is already a wealthy man, and the amount of money he spends on food and drink is alarmingly high. In addition, he is now being arranged to stay in a high-end hotel like Woodville. Dunn Smith's funding application report is likely to become a big problem.

After all, Mr. Willis is cooperating with the police investigation, and his business will inevitably be delayed during his protection, so the police should pay for his expenses.

In addition, the businessman was already dissatisfied with the police in Tingen City. If his funds were withheld, he would inevitably criticize the incompetence of the Ahowa County Police Department in various channels when he returned.

After hearing what Klein said, Roger could only give up for the time being and make plans after returning home.

……

No. 36 Zouteland Street, downstairs of Blackthorn Security Company.

Daly Simone, Cornelia White, and two other Night Watchmen from the Temple were testing the children's drawing board that had been seized from the tailor shop.

"Can it be recorded and described: Yes.

"The test object appears to be an 8-page wooden children's drawing board. Although it doesn't contain paper, any paper that comes into contact with the drawing board will be affected. Even drawing directly on the drawing board will have an effect...

"The test subjects have been confirmed to possess the following functions: summoning spirits to answer questions, conducting transactions with the dead, and having them fulfill conditions set by their owners...

"...For recently deceased spirits, this object appears to be able to directly enslave or even destroy them. However, judging by the scene where it was discovered, it seems some unknown prerequisite must be met...

"A side effect of this object is that if it is out of containment for more than 10 minutes, it will begin to affect the minds of those within 10 meters, confusing their cognition and making it impossible to distinguish between the dead and the living...

"Since Dunn Smith and Leonard Mitchell had been near the object for longer than this time, the testing team conducted tests on the former and confirmed that he showed no abnormalities. This exception may be related to Dunn Smith's coma...

"Leonard Mitchell's testing is still pending..."

Cohen Li quickly recorded the test results on a piece of paper, then turned the page and continued writing:

"Containment Conditions:
"It has been discovered that the Chanis Gate can effectively seal the object. Furthermore, the testing team has observed that pure silver containers can also contain it, but the minimum thickness of the silver cannot be less than 5 centimeters.

“As for whether other materials can achieve the seal and what specifications are required, it still needs to be confirmed.

"According to the Church of the Evernight Goddess's Sealed Artifact Nomenclature, this item is temporarily designated 2-351, codenamed..."

Cornley raised his head and looked at Daly Simone:
"Ms. Daly, what should we call this thing?"

Dai Li Simone thought for a moment and replied:

"Let's call it 'Ouija Board' for now."
