Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 71 The Missing Megose

"Bang!"

Leonard stood up hastily, but his movements were so hasty that the chair beneath him suddenly fell to the ground the moment he stood up.

He gripped Lanevus's shoulders tightly, controlling the panicked man. He sternly said, "We will save you. We will save you. Don't panic yet. Tell us what happened."

"The consciousness of the true Creator!" Lanevus clutched Leonard's arm tightly, as if grasping at a lifeline. Leonard felt a sharp pain in his arm. If Lanevus pressed harder, his sleeve and arm would probably be bruised.

Lanevus screamed sharply, "I can feel it. It's awakening within me. It's eroding my consciousness. I'm going to die!"

Leonard looked at Lanevus, who was panicking with fear, and silently commented in his heart, "Good acting. His true path can't be 'actor'."

"There is no 'Actor' path among the twenty-two divine paths." An old voice sounded in Leonard's mind.

"Old man, you can actually listen to my thoughts!" Leonard protested in his mind, "I've lost my last bit of privacy! Wait, can I talk to you in my mind now?"

"I didn't listen to your thoughts," Pales said. "Do you still need to listen to your thoughts?"

Leonard was a little skeptical, but unfortunately he had to deal with Lanevus and didn't have much time to talk to Pales.

He maintained a serious expression and looked at Lanevus.

"Just now, I sensed His presence again. I sensed it once before, sir. You know, I woke up because of Him, I was startled awake from my dream. But I didn't realize it at the time. After I fell asleep, I felt His presence again, and only this time did I realize it." Lanevus said in a trembling voice. His words were a little disorganized due to panic, but he still expressed his meaning clearly.

Leonard tried hard to keep the shock on his face. He immediately grabbed Lanevus and took him away from Chanis Gate.

They rushed to the telegraph machine. Leonard sat before it, his fingers tapping away at the machine, creating a rhythmic tapping sound. As he sent the message, he observed Lanevus closely, as if fearing he might have changed.

Leonard sent two telegrams, one to Dunn. As the captain of the Night Watch team, Dunn installed a telegraph machine at home to facilitate communication. The other was sent to the church, asking the clergy on duty at the church to immediately notify Lord Cesimar and come to the Blackthorn Security Company as soon as possible.

After sending the telegram, Leonard quickly returned to Chanis Gate with Lanevus.

There are many seals at the bottom of Chanis Gate. If an accident really happens, you can use the favorable environment to resist it.

After returning to Chanis Gate, perhaps out of concern, Leonard handcuffed him again.

Lanevus sat in the chair with his head lowered. He had calmed down now, no longer as panicked as before, but still filled with fear.

Leonard also sat in a chair, staring intently at Lanevus so he could immediately detect any changes in him.

The two waited anxiously.

After a long time, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and Leonard immediately stood up and looked towards Chanismen.

"What happened, Leonard?" Dunn asked as soon as he opened the door.

"Captain! Your Excellency Cecima!" Leonard shouted in surprise, "You're finally here!"

"Sir!" Lanevus immediately stood up and rushed towards Dunn and Cecima. He grabbed Dunn's arm tightly and said, "You must save me!"

Dunn frowned and asked calmly, "What happened?"

Lanevus immediately told him everything. Leonard listened attentively, feeling very satisfied with Lanevus's rare sincerity.

As Lanevus finished speaking, Dunn and Cecima both looked solemn and silent. For a moment, there was an unusual silence behind Chanis's door.

"I'll send a telegram to the church," said Dunn, and immediately ran to the telegraph machine.

Then, a beeping sound reached the ears of several people. After a moment, the sound faded. Dunn pushed the door open and said to Cecima and Leonard, "The Holy Temple has sent someone to transfer Lanevus and Megose to the Holy Temple. During this time, the Holy Temple hopes that we can control Megose and Lanevus as much as possible. The Aurora Society may kidnap them. There's no need to imprison Megose, just make sure she doesn't fall into the hands of the Aurora Society."

"Dunn," Cecima took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in her heart, and said, "You and Leonard take the seal and immediately go to Megose's house to control him. I will stay here to guard him."

Megose has only been pregnant for a few days, and the fetus has not yet formed. Even if it is the offspring of an evil god, it should be difficult for it to have a big impact on the outside world.

However, the true Creator's consciousness within Lanevus had already shown signs of awakening, and the Evil God's lethality was definitely greater than that of his unborn offspring. Although both missions were extremely dangerous, the Evil God's offspring was relatively safer.

Dunn frowned, seeming to disagree, but still nodded in agreement.

"Be careful." Dunn said to Cecima in a deep voice.

Cecima nodded and said, "I know."

……

Dunn and Leonard arrived at Megose's residence according to the address provided by Lanevus.

Leonard took a deep breath and knocked on the door of the apartment.

"Who?" A female voice came from inside the door. It should be the hired maid.

"Leonard Mitchell," Leonard said, pulling out his ID. "Inspector."

The door quietly opened a crack, and Leonard handed the documents in through the crack.

After a while, they heard hurried footsteps, which were getting farther and farther away from them. It must be the maid leaving.

Leonard and Dunn heard several doors opening and conversations. It must be the maid waking up the owner of the house.

The door opened and Leonard saw an ordinary-looking lady opening the door. After seeing Leonard, she respectfully returned the ID to him.

"Officer," a middle-aged man said nervously, "What's going on?"

"Ms. Megose is involved in a theft case," Dunn said, showing his ID. "She needs to go to the police station with us."

Secret surveillance or other methods are likely to arouse the vigilance of the evil god's offspring in Megose's belly. They decided to try to control Megose in the name of investigating the case as a police officer.

"My daughter couldn't possibly have been a thief," the middle-aged man said immediately with certainty. "She's been in a very bad mental state lately. We've even started considering finding a psychiatrist for her."

"We also believe in Ms. Megaux's character. In fact, we found Ms. Megaux not because we suspected she participated in the theft, but because we suspected she had contact with the thief," Dunn said. "So she needs to be investigated, and as a key witness, she will need to be investigated and protected."

"Is there going to be a follow-up review? And why do we need protection? It's just a theft case. Will Megose be in danger?" A lady who looked to be in her thirties asked worriedly.

"Yes, ma'am," Leonard nodded. "This case involves a large sum of money, so it requires special attention. Furthermore, the thief may have violent tendencies. To prevent him from harming witnesses, we need to protect Miss Megose."

"Oh, my God!" the lady screamed, and hurriedly said to the maid, "Quick, Anne, call Megose down."

Annie nodded hurriedly and ran to the second floor.

"Officer, please, please protect..."

"Oh no, ma'am!" Anne's scream suddenly came from upstairs, "The young lady is missing!"
