Chapter 295 Ears and Eyes

“An Honorable Name?”

On the seat of the teahouse, Adele raised an eyebrow at Ed’s suggestion before her face showed a clear look of surprise.

“Mr. Detective, the Honorable Name you mentioned… Could it belong to a divine existence? What do you think He would pray for?”

“Yes, this is the Honorable Name of a divine existence from another world. Miss Adele, you might not have heard of it, because His name is usually only circulated within our Rosy Cross organization. If you pray to Him, I can share with you the vision of my flesh puppet, allowing you to observe the scenes inside the police bureau here.”

After taking a sip of tea, Ed responded to Adele across from him, and Adele continued to answer with great interest.

“The divine existence secretly venerated by your Rosy Cross organization? This is quite intriguing… Then may I ask if I can learn more about this existence? You know, praying to an unfamiliar Honorable Name is very dangerous.”

Adele continued to speak to Ed, seemingly wanting to learn more about this Honorable Name or the Rosy Cross. In response to Adele’s inquiry, Ed replied calmly.

“Well… Actually, I’m not unwilling to tell Miss Adele, but the detailed information about this Honorable Name contains strong poison. Without proper preparation, Miss Adele might be in danger just by hearing these details. But if it’s just the Honorable Name itself, there’s nothing to worry about.”

Ed said this, and Dorothy’s meaning was simple: Little Adele, the waters surrounding this Honorable Name are deep; you can’t handle it! The poison contained is too potent; you can’t bear it!

In reality, Dorothy had no detailed information on that Honorable Name. Given her limited knowledge of the Secret World and Ancient Knowledge, which might even be less than Adele’s, making up such information could lead to significant errors. Therefore, she decided not to fabricate anything and instead told Adele that the poison contained was too strong. Don’t ask unless you’re prepared, and time is short now.

“A powerful divine existence with strong poison? Hmph… It seems this is a crucial secret of your Rosy Cross. To partially reveal such a secret to me… I am truly grateful for your trust, but… Reciting the name of an unfamiliar divine existence is always dangerous. Can you guarantee my safety, Mr. Detective?”

Adele said this, and Dorothy immediately manipulated Ed to respond.

“You can fully trust me, Miss Adele. If I wanted to harm you, I would have had many opportunities in the past. I have no intention of harming you. If you don’t want to trust me, I can continue to monitor the police bureau through the small flesh puppet, waiting for the informants inside to expose themselves, but it’s uncertain how long that will take, and the situation we face could change unpredictably.”

Ed spoke with great seriousness to Adele. After listening to his words, Adele paused for a moment before slowly speaking again.

“Hmm… Mr. Detective is right. This matter concerns my teacher, and it’s not the time to delay. Since I’ve hired you, not trusting you would be meaningless… Give me the Honorable Name of that divine existence.”

Adele said to Ed like this. Hearing Adele’s words, Ed smiled slightly and took out a small piece of paper from his pocket, carefully handing it to Adele.

Adele accepted the paper from Ed and slowly opened it, carefully examining it bit by bit, as if verifying whether it contained any mental influence or poison. Soon after, she finally read all the information on the paper calmly and then frowned slightly.

“This is truly an unheard-of divine existence… named A…”

Just as Adele was about to read out the Honorable Name on the paper, Ed placed his index finger in front of his lips, gesturing for silence, and then whispered:

“Don’t say it aloud, just silently pray in your heart. As long as we both show reverence to that being, we can connect our senses.”

Ed said mysteriously. After hearing Ed’s words, Adele hesitated for a moment, but eventually, thinking of her teacher, she decided to close her eyes and silently recite the Honorable Name she saw on the paper.

‘In the boundless world of this life…’

On the other side, in the carriage, Dorothy immediately used the system to establish a channel to Adele upon hearing her prayer. Through this channel, she shared her zombie puppet’s view from the police bureau in Coal Ash District with Adele. In an instant, Adele felt as though she suddenly had four or five additional pairs of eyes and ears, seeing more scenes and hearing more sounds. A flood of new information surged into Adele’s mind, making her momentarily unable to process it all. It took her some time to recover.

“Hmm… This is indeed… quite an amazing experience…”

Holding her forehead, Adele sighed in relief. At that moment, she already felt herself watching several scenes simultaneously, monitoring different angles of the scenarios inside several rooms. There were scenes above and below, in narrow gaps with round holes. He stared at the bustling room, seeing countless policemen busy amidst the chaos. Listening to their words, it seemed that the recent sandstorm had caused unrest throughout the Coal Ash District.

“How is it? Can you identify any of the policemen who seem to be in trouble now?”

At this point, Ed asked Adele, and Adele immediately began using her abilities based on the view provided by Dorothy’s small zombie puppet to observe the police station in Coal Ash District. She saw the panicked police officers and civilians reporting alarms. Using her abilities, she silently checked each of these policemen and reported her findings. Listening to Adele’s words, Ed remained calm and continued to speak.

“Are there any abnormalities among them?”

“No, these desires are typical reactions of ordinary people in the current situation. I haven’t seen anyone unusual. You should move the flesh puppets inside so I can see more places and more people.”

Adele responded, clearly indicating that there was nothing abnormal in the current view. They needed to change perspectives. Dorothy also followed Adele’s instructions and began to manipulate the small zombie puppets in the police station to change positions and angles, observing other policemen.
