Agnes looked seriously at the file that Renes brought and rubbed her forehead slightly.
The file that Ms. Jones gave her only contained the contents of Alyssa's original investigation. The results of the investigation after the case was transferred to the Watchers could not be given to her until the application was approved.
But even what Alyssa obtained from her investigation was enough for Agnes to speculate on something.
It is known that President Kaman has secretly hidden an extraordinary item, and that the extraordinary item has the ability of "psychological suggestion". It can use a specific environment as a medium to hint to the target, making him follow the user's arrangements unknowingly, or strongly , sincerely do not want to break a promise.
However, this item cannot be moved within three days after it takes effect, otherwise it will swallow up all the thoughts and thoughts of the person who moves it, causing his or her brain to go blank and forget what he is going to do, until he becomes an idiot.
From this point of view, President Kaman probably used this item to influence the attitudes of some important people who came to his office in the blacksmith guild, and even achieved the purpose of controlling them to some extent.
And if President Kaman uses this extraordinary item without restraint, he may also use this item to control the members of the guild and brainwash them to ensure their loyalty to the blacksmith guild.
This can explain why after the blacksmith guild theft, the attitude of many parliamentarians who were originally sympathetic to the guild changed. They probably learned about the church's investigation results through their own channels.
At the same time, if you think a little darker, Henry Schelling said before, "When President Carman was here, no matter how difficult the situation was, the number of members hardly decreased." Is there any influence of this extraordinary item? ?
But there is still a doubt: How did the president of a mere blacksmith's guild obtain such an extraordinary item, and how did he have the courage to plot against some important figures?
President Carman's behavior was as if he had been bewitched by someone, and the theft at the Blacksmith Guild in Feneport City was too coincidental. It was almost as if it was specifically designed to expose President Carman's affairs. ...
What's even more coincidental is that not long after my father proposed the abolition of the guild system, this case happened and even passed into the hands of the church.
In Agnes' impression, there are three sequences that have similar bewitching abilities: the audience sequence, the assassin sequence, and the lawyer sequence. Among them, the "instigators" of the assassin sequence are more inclined to intensify conflicts, provoke conflicts, and create murders. This matter does not seem like the instigator's style; while the lawyer sequence can distort or guide the target's thinking to a certain extent, making the It is possible to a certain extent for people to feel friendly and willing to believe; and the audience sequence has the ability to guide others to act according to their own ideas from beginning to end, which is the most likely.
Looking at it this way, if there is really a person behind this matter who is guiding President Kaman's thinking, then he should be...
Agnes suddenly felt a degenerate and filthy aura erupting from the church's underground, but it was suppressed and disappeared in an instant, making people wonder whether she had felt wrong just now.
Agnes quickly put down the file, stood up, and walked out of the room.
No one came out of the corridor, and Agnes couldn't help but frown. She walked to the office door, raised her hand and knocked.
Ms. Beshmit opened the door and asked, "What's the matter, Agnes?"
"Ms. Beshmit, there seemed to be something rioting underneath the church. Did you feel it?" Agnes asked.
Ms. Beshmit shook her head, smiled slightly, and said, "No, my feeling may not be as sharp as yours."
Agnes raised her eyebrows, sat down on the sofa, and said, "Okay, Ms. Jones should come up later, just ask her then."
...
Ms. Jones walked up tiredly and said to Agnes in a hoarse voice: "Follow me, Agnes."
"Although you failed the test, you are not asked to fight now, but to help comfort a... some 'children'." Ms. Jones explained.
"Is this the source of the riot in the church just now?" Agnes asked.
"Did you just notice it? It was him." Ms. Jones nodded.
"I see," Agnes said.
Agnes followed Ms. Jones down the church's underground passage, up a path among vine-like tree roots, and came to a large... um, "room"?
Agnes caught a glimpse of a child huddled at the end of the "room"...a toddler who looked to be only over three years old?
He buried his head between his knees, wrapped his hands around his legs, and his whole body seemed to be trembling slightly. He was wearing a robe that was so tattered that the color could no longer be seen. The robe was almost big enough to hold two of his size. No matter how you look at it, he looks like a lost child who entered the church by mistake.
But this is not normal. A child who looks to be over three years old is under the church. He looks very suspicious no matter how you look at him.
"Is he the one the watchmen brought back?" Agnes couldn't help but ask Ms. Jones.
Before Ms. Jones could answer, the huge baby seemed to hear Agnes's voice and looked up.
Agnes looked at his face and was slightly stunned.
Only then did she realize that the smooth and tender skin that she had just thought was no different from that of a normal child was actually in a state of constant change. The fatness and thinness of his limbs, the roughness of his skin, and the depth of his skin color were all constantly changing. Changes were taking place, but because the changes were not very different, they were not noticed at a glance.
Although his face has all the facial features of a normal person, there is always a sense of disharmony that makes people feel uncomfortable. It's like men and women randomly put the facial features of different people on one person's body and pieced them together. Similarly, his facial features are also constantly changing, and changes in this area will have a more obvious impact on the overall image of the person.
Fortunately, this is not a novelty in the Church of the Mother Earth, Agnes couldn't help but think, at least it is much more normal than what Frank made.
Agnes looked around the "room" and saw no other watchers.
Seemingly aware of Agnes' inner doubts, Ms. Jones said: "Once the aura on his body breaks out, no one else can last long in this room, so I will ask them to leave here first."
Agnes nodded slightly and asked, "What do I need to do?"
Although she was clearly aware that there were some problems with this three-year-old toddler, she still didn't know what the Watcher needed to do. It couldn't be to coax the child, right?
If you expect her to coax the child, you might as well just recruit a random member of the church. It will definitely be better than her.
Ms. Jones hesitated and asked, "Did you feel any uncontrollable impulse in him?"
