Chapter 3869 Moon Eye
When Angel walked out of the Ruiyi Theater, his eyes were full of thought.
Just now, he went to the Art Theater, met Alfred's "secret lover" Ms. Zoe, and had a "friendly" conversation.
Ms. Zoe confessed...it should be said that she told Angel all the information she knew very "enthusiastically".
After listening, Angel finally realized that there was a reason why Ms. Zoe was listed as a purple light group along with Sisley, Vera, and half-human and half-demon.
If Sisley is the beginning of everything, Vera is the instigator of information, and the half-human, half-doll is the key to taking that step, then Ms. Zoe is the promoter behind the scenes.
Why do you say that?
Just imagine, as a powerful high-level magician, Zuniga has traveled across the continent for more than ten years, and even with the bonus status of "Call of the Dark Corner", he still has not found a way to enter the dark corner.
According to the "Alfred Intelligence Collection", Alfred was only an intermediate magician, and his role in the Dark Round Table was not that of a "wise general". In the same year that he met Sisley, he
He disappeared, which meant that he had entered a dark corner in just one year.
He didn't even have the "Call of the Dark Corner", but he still found the dark corner before Zuniga. Why should he?
Angel had not figured it out before, but now he understood that Alfred relied on... Ms. Zoe, the driving force behind the scenes!
…
The rain is still falling like wisps of catkins.
Angel found a pavilion to rest temporarily near the Ruiyi Theater.
Through the hollow door railing, Angel stared at the increasingly clear neon lights in the rain outside, and his pupils reflected a piece of glass light.
If you don't consider that this is a polluted acid rain, this scene is actually quite beautiful.
"What are your plans next?" While taking a rest and enjoying the rain, Angel contacted Gleipnir through the perspective of God.
At this time, Gleipnir was still at Prada Media and seemed to be processing some documents.
Hearing Angel's voice, Gleipnir raised his head from his desk.
After stretching, he replied: "In addition to talent reserves and start-up funds, the third round of main missions also has many other projects. Although these projects are not difficult, they are very cumbersome and time-consuming and must be dealt with."
"So, I'll take care of these first..." Gleipnir said: "I'll check the accounts with Yusup and see if there's anything else in the warehouse that can be used."
After all, Yusup had previously sold out everything in order to maintain the company's operations. And many of the things he sold happened to be needed for this main mission.
Therefore, Gleipnir must quickly check his accounts and try to buy back what he sold if possible.
"I definitely won't be able to finish it today, so I'll take care of part of it first and talk about the rest later." Gleipnir rubbed his swollen temples and said with a tired face: "I guess I can only take care of half of it.
It will be ready to go offline in an hour.”
While he was dealing with affairs online, he also had to deal with official duties offline. Just thinking about it gave Gleipnir a headache.
"What about you? What are you going to do later?" Gleipnir asked.
Angel: "I'm going to open the dark corner copy."
"Dark corner copy?" Gleipnir said "Huh": "Have you made any progress over there? Do you know how to open the dark corner?"
Angel: "That's right. I just completed the mission of 'The Lost Knight', and then received a new mission. I should be able to go to the dark corner according to the clues."
When Graipnir heard that Angel had completed the "Case of the Disappearance of Knights", curiosity immediately flashed in his eyes. Although she was not involved in this case, she had always paid attention to it.
She still remembers what Angel said before, that he was going to see Ms. Zoe, but with this meeting, the mission was completed?
What is going on here?
Angel found the clue that the Knights didn't find so easily?
Faced with Gleipnir's curiosity, Angel said silently: "I used some small tricks."
Gleipnir immediately realized that Ms. Zoe must be controlled by the nightmare: "What is the clue?"
Angel sighed: "It's not a special clue. I can only say that Zoe's identity is somewhat special."
"What identity?"
"I am an artist during the day, and at night... I am the Archbishop of the Dark Corner Cult."
Gleipnir: "???"
When Angel learned the news from Zoe, he was stunned for several seconds. But after he came back to his senses, he touched it carefully and felt that it made sense.
Angel had heard of this sect before when he was in the Hermitage, but he didn't pay much attention at the time.
Now after personal contact, I discovered that this sect is quite powerful and influential, with branches in almost every city.
This sect worships everything in the Dark Corner and believes that the Dark Corner is the birthplace of everything. Even their own species, humans, originate from the Dark Corner.
Although the Dark Corner Cult is basically a group of crazy believers, thanks to their huge organizational structure, they have also collected a large amount of intelligence related to Dark Corner from various cities.
If you want to ask who is most likely to know how to enter the dark corner? There is no doubt that it is the Dark Corner Cult.
As for Ms. Zoe, she came into contact with the Dark Corner Cult when she was still in Red Alley. In fact, the big boss who brought her out of Red Alley was one of the guides of the Dark Corner Cult.
It was also at that time that Zoe joined the Dark Corner Cult.
After more than twenty years of ups and downs, Zoe climbed from an ordinary believer to the highest position in the Dark Corner Cult's branch in Modern City: Archbishop.
It can be said that Zoe now controls all the resources of the Dark Corner Cult in Modern City.
Previously, Print Lady had mentioned a piece of news, saying that Zoe's private life was chaotic. Occasionally, in the middle of the night, a large number of male and female models would come to the Ruiyi Theater, as well as wealthy businessmen and celebrities. They would stay all night, and they were suspected of being there.
There are illegal silver parties inside.
The real situation is indeed "illegal", but it is not a silver party, but a routine mass of the Dark Corner Cult.
Through chanting, praying, singing hymns, collecting donations, and giving gifts, we will sing the praises of the great protector "Moon Eye".
"Moon Eye is a god worshiped by the Dark Horn Cult?" Gleipnir asked doubtfully.
Angel: "No, the Dark Corner Cult does not worship a god. If you insist on saying so, what they worship is the concept of 'Dark Corner'."
"As for Moon Eye, I asked Zoe, and she said that she is an extremely powerful being in the Dark Corner and one of the dozens of patrons of the Dark Corner Cult."
Gleipnir: "Since it is named the protector, can the Moon Eyes really protect the Dark Corner Cult?"
"Who knows." Angel shrugged: "However, according to Zoe, although Moon Eye, the protector, cannot directly affect the world, it also brings many conveniences to the Dark Corner Cult."
For example, the purple light group Angel saw before - the half-human, half-demon in the underwater church, was the messenger sent by Moon Eye.
Angel spoke roughly, and when Graipnir didn't respond, he continued: "In short, Zoe is indispensable for Alfred's ability to find dark corners."
If looking for dark corners is regarded as a tree-shaped mini-game, and each fork is a choice, then most of them are invalid choices, or wrong choices. There is only one path that is the correct choice, leading to the dark corners.
Normal people look for dark corners, and almost no matter how they go around, they will end up making wrong choices, and then they can never find the right path.
Just like Zuniga, it took more than ten years and the progress was almost zero.
But Alfred was different. Although he also encountered choices, with the secret help of Archbishop Zoe, he almost had an unimpeded journey. Every time he chose the right option, he found the right option at an extremely fast and amazing speed.
That's the only way out.
Graipnir: "Why did Zoe help Alfred? Or is it that Alfred knew that Zoe was from the Dark Corner Cult and took the initiative to seek cooperation?"
Angel: "Alfred does not know Zoe's identity. As for the reason why Zoe secretly helped Alfred, it is actually a coincidence..."
The two of them were indeed underground lovers.
To be precise, Zoe knew Alfred's identity and deliberately approached him.
A perfectly sexy woman took the initiative to show her affection, which no man would be able to resist, and Alfred fell for her.
At that time, Zoe was thinking about slowly gaining access to more information about the Dark Round Table through Alfred's identity... In fact, Zoe did get a lot of information, but she had been entangled with Alfred for many years.
, in the end, she couldn’t tell whether she really stayed with Alfred for the information or whether she revealed her true feelings.
Later, Alfred began to investigate the dark corner, and Zoe also witnessed it all the time.
However, at that time, Zoe was still hesitant about whether to help secretly, but after careful consideration, she chose not to expose it.
until--
On this day, when Zoe went home, she found Alfred entering her secret room.
And in her secret room, she hides the list of congregants.
Although this list does not explicitly mention that they are members of the Dark Corner Cult, if Alfred investigates one by one, he will definitely find clues.
To be continued...
