Joey didn't expect that what he had planned before would come true in this way.
Then he seemed to have thought of something, and a look of horror appeared on his face.
"Annie, you are not going to blow up the shipyard, are you?"
Judging from the expressions on their faces, they indeed planned to do this.
Chris smiled and waved, walking in front and leading the way: "Follow me!"
When Joey hesitated whether to follow them, the two had already walked a short distance. He thought about it, gritted his teeth and followed.
After entering, Joey found that the people in the factory were all elderly people.
Just like yesterday, I followed Annie and repeated the steps at the hospital yesterday.
He didn't say anything during the process. It wasn't until he was ready to leave that he spoke:
"Annie, Chris" he called to the two of them solemnly, his eyes full of determination: "Now that I have boarded this ship, there is no need to hide anything from me."
He felt uncomfortable being led by others all the time.
Especially knowing that the things Anne did may involve the church.
This kind of thing might involve a lot of people.
And, most importantly, he saw the same expression on Chris's face as Margot's, which showed reluctance and calmness about facing death.
What was the reason that made them give up their lives?
Moreover, in Azrael's deduction, Chris died more than ten years ago.
He didn't find anything strange about the extraordinary aura in Chris.
Annie didn't speak, but Chris stepped forward, patted his shoulder gently and said:
"Joy, in fact, there is no need to delve into some things. The truth is often cruel. This is also for your own good."
As he spoke, his tone suddenly became serious: "Although the things we do are secretive, as long as the church investigates them, we will eventually be able to find something."
"It's for your own good not to involve you too deeply."
Joey thought for a while and quickly sorted out the key points.
He thought of certain means of censorship, and whatever was said must be known.
The characterization of terrorist incidents is different between the participants and the coercers.
Whether it is a hospital being blown up or a shipyard about to explode, it can undoubtedly be characterized as an infidel terrorist attack.
He was involved, so it was a good thing that he was not found out, in case the church traced him.
The characterization of participants and coercers is very important.
The former is an accomplice, while the latter is coerced into participating.
After understanding the key, Joey felt a sense of loss.
Then he asked:
"If you don't want to implicate me, why did you drag me in?"
When he said this, his eyes were fixed on Anne Block for a moment.
Annie, who had been silent all this time, let out a long sigh and said softly:
"We don't know who the demigod is hiding behind Port Leah, nor do we know which path he belongs to."
"High-level extraordinary beings all hold some special sealed objects in their hands."
She paused, her tone was solemn, and an obscure meaning flashed in her eyes: "The cursed telegraph machine, these are the two sealed objects he has mastered."
Anne briefly summarized the capabilities of that sealed artifact.
'The cursed telegraph machine, marked as a level 2 sealed object by the temple, codenamed 2-049'
'The ability you have is to predict risks with a certain probability'
He finally understood why Annie took him with her every time she took action. It was with the help of the precognitive ability of his Lucky Master Spiritual Interference 2-049.
This is understandable. If the Level 2 Sealed Artifact is really what Annie said, it is very likely that the Church will notice it before it happens.
It was one thing to know the role he was playing, but on the other hand, he still had no idea what Anne was going to do.
When he wanted to ask something more, the familiar church bell rang again.
Accompanied by a rich male voice:
"Foolish people of Port Leia, if the church is not destroyed in the sun, you will bear the consequences."
At the same time, in the Sheriff's Department office, Benny Hoyland also heard the voice.
He was drinking tea when he suddenly heard something and the teacup in his hand shattered.
The expression on his face suddenly became furious.
"Bring me someone!"
Soon, a girl wearing a sheriff's uniform hurried in.
She lowered her head and cautiously called out: "Director!"
"What's going on? Haven't you found the person who spread the news since yesterday?"
"Hurry up and check for me"
The girl lowered her head, not daring to look at Benny Hoyland at all.
When he was about to go out, he hesitated again and again and asked softly: "Do I need to report it to the superiors?"
"Go away! Do you have the brains to report it? Let the higher authorities hold you accountable, saying that our Lia Port branch can't even handle the smallest things?"
"I know, Director!" She said and quickly retreated, not daring to say another word.
"Come here!" he shouted toward the door.
Soon, a fat police officer with a serious face trotted over.
"Go, block all the docks out to sea, and don't allow any ships to leave," he ordered in a cold voice.
Then he quietly left the Sheriff's Department.
Leah Church, in a dark basement.
Benny Hoyland stared blankly at an old telegraph machine in front of him.
Under the telegraph machine, a dozen blank pages have been printed.
"Is it really those missionaries? Why is 2-049 unpredictable?"
This was the first time he encountered this kind of thing.
There is only one possibility, that is, the opponent came prepared and used something to restrain 2-049.
'Swish, swish, swish! '
The telegraph machine kept typing.
Finally, after a dozen blank pages, a paragraph appeared.
'East End, Hamilton Shipyard'
"I found you, little mouse!" His face was ferocious, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
As soon as he got the accurate information, he organized his personnel to rush to the Hamilton Shipyard.
A group of armed men were galloping down the street.
Just when it was about to approach, there was a deafening explosion in the distance, and then, billowing smoke covered most of the sky.
"Quick, quick, quick," he kept urging.
On a high-rise building opposite the Hamilton Shipyard, Joey and Annie stood intently.
Both of their eyes were fixed on the shipyard opposite.
Joey's tone was solemn and he asked suspiciously:
"Why don't Chris leave? There are not many people in the old shipyard. Even if it blows up, it won't affect too much."
He couldn't figure out what Chris' purpose was in blowing up the old shipyard even at the risk of his own life.
To take revenge on society and vent his dissatisfaction, if it were him, he would choose a commercial street with dense traffic instead of an old shipyard that has long been eliminated by the new era.
The same is true for Margaret. In his opinion, these sacrifices are completely unnecessary.
Annie kept her eyes fixed on the distance, shook her head, and said softly:
"Some things are more meaningful than life."
"If your life is gone, what's the use even if it's meaningful? You people have something wrong with your brains."
"Where is the next place to be bombed?" He didn't even bother to listen to Annie's rationale.
"Don't worry, the next target has not been determined yet."
Joey shrugged and asked again: "Is my task finished today? I'm leaving now."
Annie turned around and looked at him, smiling without saying a word.
"Okay, I won't leave." He sighed helplessly.
"Coming!" Suddenly, Annie shouted.
Looking back along her line of sight, there was a group of hurried-looking police officers.
Joey rolled his eyes and couldn't help but think to himself: Sheriff's Department, could it be that these are the people Anne is waiting for, and she thinks that making these noises is to attract the attention of the church.
No, she said, hiding this demigod in secret, could it be hiding in the Public Security Department?
. . .
In front of Hamilton Shipyard.
Chris stood expressionlessly on the roof of the factory. Below him was the Sheriff's team led by Benny.
"What do you want to do? Do you know that what you do violates the laws established by the church?"
Now Benny Hoyland is not the aloof demigod, but an ordinary chief of the Sheriff's Department.
Chris ignored him and glanced coldly at everyone below. Behind him was a blazing fire, and thick smoke blackened most of the sky.
"I know you can hear it. That thing is in our hands. If you want to get it back, just do what we want."
The sheriff who heard what Chris said looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what he meant.
Only Benny, a hint of sinisterness suddenly flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared quickly and was well concealed.
"Shoot me. The spirit of the heretics has been contaminated. There is no need to persuade them," he ordered with a cold expression.
The men around him were stunned for a moment and did not react.
It wasn't until he snorted coldly that someone said, "Director, this is inappropriate. What if he still has an explosive device in his hand..."
Before he could continue, Benny raised the revolver in his hand.
"Bang bang bang!"
Three shots were fired, hitting Chris in the head.
Chris's body fell straight from the roof of the factory building like a kite with its string broken.
His eyes were wide open, filled with unwillingness. The moment he fell, he saw Annie and Joey on the tower opposite.
Like porcelain, it made a loud 'bang' sound the moment it hit the ground. The great life turned into a puddle of flesh and blood, and the ground was dyed red with blood.
Benny rushed over quickly.
He had to touch Chris' body immediately.
However, before he got close, he saw a ball of flames suddenly shooting out from Chris' body.
What followed was a series of explosions. In the blink of an eye, a big explosion occurred throughout the shipyard. The fire expanded rapidly, and the impact caused those who were close to it to be thrown away.
Sheriff's Department officers retreated to a safe location.
Benny Hoyland looked extremely ugly at this time.
He stared at the burning fire with cold eyes.
He hadn't thought that the guy who stole Ghost Island was hiding in Lia Port, and he came back this time with the purpose of tracking him down.
I originally thought someone had taken that thing away accidentally.
After all, in the eyes of some adventurers, extraordinary items are of high value.
Looking at it now, that's not the case at all.
Those guys came after him and wanted to force him out by destroying the church. It was really a good plan.
But how could he compromise so easily.
The team members next to him looked at Benny's changing expressions and didn't know what he was thinking. They only knew that the director had always had a bad temper, and they couldn't get into trouble with him at this time.
Being threatened twice by infidels brought disgrace to their police department.
One of the thin police officers coughed lightly and reminded: "Chief, this explosion is a little different from the last time. It may not be a group of people."
The thin police officer is the deputy director of the Public Security Department, and his subordinates usually call him deputy director.
"What do you mean?" Benny suddenly became energetic.
The deputy pointed in the direction where Chris' body was just now.
"That person seems to be venting his dissatisfaction at work through this pagan trend."
The old shipyard was once prosperous in Port Lia, but after the Machinery and Knowledge Church brought in more advanced technology, it became worse day by day.
Many people who have worked in the shipyard for more than ten years have been laid off. Not long ago, there were rumors that the shipyard would be dismantled.
They thought Chris was a laid-off shipyard worker.
I couldn't think about it for a while and went to extremes.
At this time, another person beside him interjected: "Deputy Director, according to what you said, it really looks like that. That's not right. If he is not a heretic, it is already past 12 o'clock. There is no other place except here." , nothing happened.”
The deputy director shook his head slightly and said, "Maybe it's not necessarily because this person disrupted the pagans' arrangements!"
I was still thinking about how to cover up what Chris said before.
It's okay now, someone helped him make things right.
Benny sneered in his heart: The damn thief must have watched the missionaries' activities in Leah and wanted to use their names to do things. He is naive.
He frowned, waved his hand and said, "Go and check this person's identity."
This team is just a pioneer force, not many in number. Now that the situation is under control, the next thing to do is to put out the fire and wait for the follow-up personnel to arrive. After he finished his instructions, he turned around and left. He had more important things to do. Things need to be dealt with.
. . . .
On the high building opposite the shipyard.
Annie gritted her teeth and stared in the direction of the shipyard.
Anyway, having revealed his identity as a transcendent, Joey no longer had any scruples in front of Annie. He turned on his spiritual vision and saw everything that happened.
In order to ensure safety, the location of the two people was actually far away from the shipyard. Without the help of tools, they could not see the scene on the other side clearly.
She asked: "Is Chris really dead?"
Joey nodded with a complicated expression. He might have guessed why Annie was so angry.
According to his speculation, what Annie did was to trigger a riot and make the matter bigger, thus attracting the attention of senior officials.
Chris's death is a bit like being raised high and falling gently.
"Your plan should be more than that."
Annie gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with uncontrollable anger.
She took a deep breath and calmed down for about ten seconds before slowly speaking:
"I made a miscalculation. I didn't expect that they wouldn't even give Chris a chance to speak."
"That man." Joey looked at the flames soaring into the sky in the distance. He hesitated for two seconds before asking, "There's a big problem. He was the one who fired the gun."
