Chapter 122 Should we stage a coup?
Daily life in Backlund is somewhat monotonous.
This is also true for Xia'er, who is accustomed to multi-threaded operations.
Sequence 7 is already at the level where one can be deployed to serve as a city squad leader; some city-level extraordinary individuals do not yet have Sequence 7.
For example, in Tingen City, the scapegoats there are only at Sequence 8 level.
After Shaelpus reached Sequence 7, he could selectively wear the "red glove." If he found a wild extraordinary individual suspicious, he would follow and investigate them. If he felt a secret gathering was worth paying attention to, he would participate and monitor the extraordinary transactions within.
The feeling was a little subtle. Becoming a member of the Red Gloves meant going on missions, while ordinary Night Watchers meant working in various places or taking shifts behind the Charnis Gate.
When Chael was bored, he arrested Alice for the third time on the grounds that "a concerned citizen reported that you are suspected of possessing dangerous items and seriously violating public safety and order." When they were interrogated at St. Samuel Cathedral, Ms. Daly Simone, who couldn't stand it anymore, also grabbed Chael by the collar and dragged him into the inner rest area behind the church, commonly known as the "little black room."
"Are you complaining that the work the church has given you is too easy?"
Dai Li sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. She had never seen anyone bully a young girl like this before.
"This isn't my fault."
"This is the Kingdom of Loen, Backlund. She's been secretly spreading some extreme solar ideologies with certain people. Isn't it perfectly normal for me to invite her to the church for a cup of tea, to understand the situation, and to offer some advice?"
Of course, Shael wouldn't say that he was doing it to boost Alice's resume; after all, having some interaction with Rune's report in the annual report would be quite eye-catching. As for whether Daly and Alice believed him, he could only say that it was a small cookie the church used to entertain guests.
Alice ate quite a bit too.
"You really want to investigate some wild extraordinary beings."
"Could you find a genuine wild Extraordinary?"
"You arrest someone, close the door, set out snacks and tea, and then interrogate them for hours. Aren't you afraid the other night watchmen will complain?"
Daly was also helpless; she almost considered using her connections to get this guy into the "Red Gloves."
If an ordinary night watchman were to act like this, they would have been reprimanded long ago. But this guy, he didn't neglect his work; in fact, he recently returned a lost item and donated all the reward money he found to church charity. Now, the church is paying attention to him even with small things...
Turn a blind eye and pretend you didn't see it.
"Investigating the true wild extraordinary beings?"
"Do I have this right?"
Xia Er hesitated for a moment.
Isn't this a bad idea?
Isn't this an abuse of power? Isn't this just low-level law enforcement?
"If the other party is truly suspicious, you can investigate; that's simply our job as night watchmen."
Daly rolled her eyes at Xia Er; she didn't believe his acting at all, she was sure it was all an act.
"If you put it that way, I do know a suspicious wild extraordinary being."
Xia Er nodded. Having the right to investigate is surely a good thing, isn't it?
How many scoundrels are hiding in Backlund? Others may not know, but does he not know?
For example, that group of vampires, and that vampire marquis Nibais lying in a coffin.
"Oh?"
"Tell me about it."
Dai Li became interested; she knew that what 'Shael' had specifically mentioned must have something special about it.
Chaer took out a photograph from her bosom. It showed a beautiful woman with bright blonde hair and delicate, elegant features.
"Audrey Hall, the youngest daughter of Earl Hall, a wealthy noblewoman, and an unregistered wild extraordinary."
Chaer pushed the photo toward Daly, then looked at her questioningly, "Can this lady investigate?"
That probably won't work...
Dai Li's lips twitched slightly.
"You carry a photo of Miss Hall with you...you wouldn't happen to be...?"
Dai Li naturally changed the subject, trying to dispel Xia'er's extreme thoughts.
Wild extraordinary individuals can be searched at will, but they cannot be searched arbitrarily.
"That's right, just like you think. If we find the right person, selling this photo for £100 is no problem. With a little guidance, it might even sell for more."
Xia Er carefully kept the photo close to his body, confident that he would be able to sell it sooner or later.
If you sell it, please treat Miss Justice to a small cake.
"You donated 20,000 pounds without batting an eye."
Dai Li was also surprised; this didn't seem like acting.
"That money was found. If I sell the photos, I'll earn it myself. It's different."
Chael made the distinction very clearly.
"And there's something really suspicious about this Miss Hall."
"I suspect she may have joined a psycho-alchemy group."
Without any evidence, Xia Er immediately raised suspicions.
"Among the intelligence we have, there are indeed traces of Psychological Alchemy members operating in Backlund's high society, but as long as they do not obviously disrupt social order or harm innocent lives, our general approach is to tacitly approve."
"Because we can't completely eliminate these people, and frankly, you simply want to invite Miss Hall to church for tea, right?"
"Count Hall is an important believer in the church. If you dare to mess with his daughter, be careful the archbishop comes and scolds you."
Dai Li shook her head, advising "Shael" to give up the idea.
Looking at the boy in front of her, who was clearly unwilling to give up, she felt that the night watchmen in Tingen City and Enmat Port were still more endearing.
Why not arrest Miss Justice?
How can I take this opportunity to threaten Earl Hall?
If I don't threaten Earl Hall, how can I also put pressure on the noble class of Backlund?
If I don't put these people in check, how can I possibly bring about some change in this era?
"If one day I become an archbishop, could I... could I invite this Miss Hall over for tea?"
Shaiel leaned back listlessly in his chair, enjoying the shoulder massage from his shadow servant, and asked.
He wasn't being particularly kind; he just wanted to try out different paths, like playing a game.
"If you become the archbishop, besides those in the sanctuary, who can control you?"
Hearing this, Daly laughed. The reason for wanting to become an archbishop was indeed quite strange.
If Archbishop Anthony knew, he would probably give this guy a look that could terrify even dragons, letting him know that being an archbishop isn't so easy.
"The Church of the True God 'does not participate' in the operation of the state; I wonder who came up with this rule."
"Those who don't know the situation might think that our church is no match for the royal family, that it has declined several times over, and is powerless to intervene."
Chael voiced his righteous protest.
He also wants a coup, right? The archbishop could be one, right?
