Otto never considered himself a good person.
Otto didn't think he could be considered a good person either before or now. He is just an ordinary person. Although by chance, he has psychic powers that are beyond common sense and possesses a fantasy sword that is indestructible, this power also made him crazy and lost himself for a time, making him stubbornly believe that he was the only one special. Yes, he is the protagonist chosen by the great will in the dark, and it is his mission to gather his forces and step to the top to overthrow the society that he has difficulty adapting to. Therefore, he even went astray and hurt someone. Many people almost caused a catastrophe
If you use an immature mind to grasp this kind of power that is beyond common sense, you will become like this. If you become a little different, you will be complacent and pretentious. And holding this power in his hands is like a child holding a dangerous Just like playing with knives, even if you don't hurt others, sooner or later you will stab yourself.
If it hadn't been for Wu Ming and Alex's education and beatings that forcibly shattered Otto's illusions, he might never have been able to get out of this self-deceptive illusion on his own. Otto even believed that his mind had gradually matured since that time because everyone around him had been telling him to be an excellent person and a successful person since he was a child, but no one had ever taught him to know himself. Ordinariness is also very important, and that day, the beating from those two people made him understand this truth.
In the past few months that Otto has been partnered with Alex, the latter has been implementing his good guy theory with practical actions: proactively helping everyone who is in trouble and discouraging everyone with sincerity. Extraordinary beings who tried to do evil even took the initiative to help those extraordinary beings who were willing to repent and start a new life. The old hunter's words and deeds, coupled with the correction of the physical level, correctly shaped Otto's three views. Now he Although I am still not able to be a warm-hearted altruist like the former, I no longer mind lending a helping hand to others appropriately.
It's just that he is different from the old hunter's concept. Otto is only willing to help others when he feels that he has the ability to help others without causing any loss to himself. In his eyes, a talent like Alex He can be considered a good person, so he never thinks of himself as a good person, not even a good person in a broad sense.
Because of this, Otto felt a deep sense of disillusionment and disappointment when the old hunter turned a blind eye to Rogge who was in need of help, and when he followed Wu Ming and turned around to leave the church. And as if he wanted to antagonize the old hunter, he aroused the antagonism that he must help the mayor, and took the initiative to stay in the church and lay on the ground to carefully investigate the church.
And this time, his efforts did pay off.
I go! After using the fantasy sword to pry open the floor of the church, Otto, who was lying on the ground with only a magnifying glass to observe the ground inch by inch, suddenly shouted, "The mayor of the town!" Come here, come here! I found a clue!
What's wrong? What's wrong? ! As soon as he heard that there was a clue, the frustrated Roger immediately jumped up from the church chair, ran quickly to Otto, rubbed his hands a little eagerly and asked: Did you find anything? !
Otto didn't answer. He concentrated on observing the new discovery in his hand. He just moved his position to the mayor and waved to the mayor to look at it.
Following the gap, Rogge's eyes fell on Otto's hand. It was a floor of the church. Of course, this was not the most important thing. The point was that the back of the floor was densely engraved, making people look dizzy. runes, and judging from the slightly curved curve above, although Rogge couldn't recognize what it was, he felt that it might be part of some kind of magic circle.
The runes, judging from the meaning of these runes, should be a rune array that has the effect of transforming enslavement. Perhaps this is the rune array that makes the human-faced mouse. Otto carefully looked at the floor in his hand, and then he seemed to want to He used the fantasy sword to pry open several surrounding floors, then turned them over and put them together. In order to see clearly the dense runes engraved on the back of the floor, he couldn't help but squint his eyes: From the wear and tear Judging from the erosion marks, the rune array must have been placed here for some time. Rogge, has the church been renovated recently? .
As far as I know, the church has basically not undergone any decent renovations in recent years.
Xinhe repair, because most of the townspeople are not willing to donate to the church, there are not many people in the town, and they cannot raise so much money. Roger thought for a while and immediately gave the answer, but soon he remembered An important thing, by the way! The Williams family in town did fund the renovation of the church a while ago! The Williams family is a wealthy family in the town, so they have always been very generous in donating to the church. However, due to limited funds, we finally had to renovate the internal structure. I remember it was two or three months ago.
Otto was stunned for a moment when he heard this strange yet familiar name, and then a name naturally appeared in his mind: Abigail Abigail Williams, is that the child of the Williams family?
To her, she is the only daughter of the Williams family. Since her mother's condition deteriorated and became bedridden a year ago, and she stopped seeing people, she has appeared in public as the representative of the Williams family. But after all, she is still a child. It was too early for her to take care of some of the Williams family's properties on her own, so many matters in the Williams family were basically assisted by her mother and the old housekeeper.
Otto nodded after hearing this: So the Williams family is responsible for the repair work?
In fact, the renovation work was completed by people in the town, but some materials were indeed purchased by the housekeepers and servants of the Williams family, such as cement and flooring. Roger said and realized the problem. "What do you mean?" Was the piper a member of the Williams family?
Otto shook his head and put down the floorboard in his hand, pointing to the empty space after the floorboard was pried open, and said: It's too early to draw a conclusion now. Look at this hole, it looks like a mouse hole, maybe a piper. The man-faced rat under his command dug a tunnel and ran to the rune array carved under the church floor. Speaking of which, is there no male master in the Williams family? Just relying on Abigail and her daughter to support them?
Man of the house? Rogge looked a little confused, what kind of male host?
?
Otto was also a little confused by his reaction: He is the master, the master of the Williams family? You're not going to tell me there's no male master in the Williams family, are you?
No no! Rogge's eyes widened in disbelief. It could be seen that Otto's unintentional words seemed to have plunged him into great confusion. He kept mumbling endless words, his expression sometimes confused, sometimes shocked, and sometimes Thoughtfully, just when Otto was worried that the town mayor was mentally disturbed due to the loss of his gay friend, the expression on his face turned into one of sudden realization, as if he had just woken up from a dream, and then his expression immediately turned into a deep one. He was filled with fear, and then said something that made Otto unbelievable: There is no male master in the Williams family.
Samuel Williams, and Abigail Williams are long dead! They passed away due to illness and accident a year ago, and their funerals were hosted by Ilson! But why why am I just thinking of this now! ? Why haven't I ever felt weird? What exactly did she do to the people of Melas Town?
Otto also felt his scalp numb. Although his heart couldn't stop tingling, he still showed great calmness and stability. He grabbed Rogge's arm and said, "Let's go!" Get those floorboards and let's go to the cemetery!
What are you doing there? !
Verify that what you just said is true!
After a while, the two came to the cemetery again soon. Because the witch Martha was dead, they entered the cemetery without any hindrance this time. Under the leadership of Rogge, Otto quickly found William. As a famous family in the town, the Williams family naturally cannot be buried in the same cemetery as those in the town. They have their own family cemetery, and all members are buried in that independent cemetery.
Facts have proved that what Rogge said is indeed correct. Otto found the names of Samuel Williams and Abigail Williams on the two recent tombstones, but just when the latter summoned the fantasy sword, Before he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to take further action, the mayor stopped him with a horrified look on his face: Wait, what do you want to do?
Open coffin. Otto pushed the town mayor aside and replied concisely. Then he used his fantasy sword as a shovel, carefully and superficially piercing the soil that had become caked and grassy, and then pried up a large piece of soil. Mud, don't worry, if it really disturbs the sleep of the deceased and makes them get up one after another to settle accounts with us, the worst is for me.
Krypton Life helps the priest to save them again
Due to the indestructible nature of the Fantasy Great Sword, Otto did not dare to shovel too much soil every time for fear of piercing the coffin in the earth. However, he soon dug up the coffin buried underground, and then used the Fantasy Great Sword to Features to easily pry open the coffin lid.
The lid of the coffin was pushed open by Otto, but after seeing the things inside clearly, his pupils shrank suddenly. Due to being blocked by his body, Rogge did not see clearly what was in the coffin, but the mayor heard him immediately. Some low and hoarse voices came slowly: Roger, do you have a cremation custom here?
? Rogge was stunned when asked, no.
Then we may have to consider how likely that Abigail is the flute player. Otto crawled out of the pit. At this time, Roger also saw the scene inside the coffin, and the corpse that should have been inside was
At this moment, there is nothing.
To sum up, walking on the deserted streets of the town, in the eerie silence, Wu Ming unhurriedly told Alex his conclusion. In fact, the piper was the one we participated in before. In the vigil
I came to the conclusion relying on the clues obtained by the hunter's super senses. But brother, how did you know the true identity of the piper?
You said this is actually very simple. Wu Ming pointed at the sky above them. There were hundreds of stealth spy planes hovering over the entire town of Melas, monitoring the entire town from all directions without blind spots. I have surveillance. What just happened A series of discussions were deduced based on the results. I took advantage of the meal time to adjust the surveillance records and discovered his true identity. When the surveillance network is not established, it is okay to let the piper run away. If the surveillance method is complete and the piper cannot be found, then we should consider whether we should call the fleet for support or think about our own epitaph.
By the way, I also know where the witch's hiding place is. Of course, this is also known through monitoring and tracking Clement. Well, the flute player is hiding here.
Wu Ming pursed his lips toward the building in front of him, red light dancing on his face.
At this moment, the police station has been shrouded in flames!
