The prisoner scratched his head. "It seems Miss Helena is more popular with the animals."
"It seems that people who specialize in literature have an elegant aura that can attract kittens." The archer also sighed.
[Explorer: No, Orpheus is not liked by cats and dogs.]
[Entomologist: The smell of the little potion on your body is too strong.]
[novelist:......]
The blind girl coughed and whispered to the people present: "Don't forget what we are here for."
Conan had already searched all around the church by this time, and he did not find any mechanisms or secret passages in this room that could hide any unspeakable secrets.
Seeing that they were not getting much, the blind woman offered a suggestion: "We could help the nuns move the pet equipment. This way, we could gain information and do a good deed. Even if the 'Dark Eye' really has nothing to do with Professor Lorenz's case, we'd have made some amends for our previous suspicions."
This proposal was supported by everyone. After the blind girl told the priest about their desire to help, the priest readily agreed: "Thank you so much, Miss Helena. Although you can't see, I believe your eyes must be filled with the beautiful stars in the sky. Oh, your noble virtue is like a beacon. May the great cat god bless you."
[Archer: How embarrassing! I could dig a Vinland out of my toes with that compliment.]
[Lucky: It's just a human-machine thing, you know. I can understand what they say, but it just doesn't sound like human speech.]
[Forward: "I've shared a talent configuration, come and try it!"]
[Savage: No, William, don't use quick messages to imitate human computers.]
In the process of helping the nuns, Conan indirectly asked the nuns some information about the "Dark Eyes". The conclusions they came to were similar, all indicating that it seemed to be just an ordinary church that often did charity.
But one nun's words caught Conan's attention. While carrying the goods, the nun smiled strangely: "We all hope to embrace God through the ever-rising tower of science!"
This sentence seems to be talking about rescuing stray cats and dogs through scientific means, but if we put it another way, can it be understood that the members of the "Dark Eyes" Church are secretly also a group of people who believe that they can embrace the truth by combining science and theology?
Conan felt that he was being too suspicious. After all, he had listened to the professor's long speech on "Lizard Evolution" in Lakeview Village before, so it was not surprising that he now associated "Dark Eyes" with this.
However, the emblem of the "Dark Eye" has indeed appeared on the faces of the believers in Lakeview Village, which shows that the "Dark Eye" must be related to the Oletus Organization. But given the nature of the Oletus Organization, would it really establish a church that is entirely dedicated to charity?
Although Conan knew that the toy manufacturer would donate a portion of its business income to charity, overall, it was definitely profitable. After looking through the receipts from the church warehouse, Conan found that "Dark Eyes" had spent a considerable amount of money on the cause of rescuing stray cats, but the profit was very little.
There are only two possibilities that could lead to this situation. One is that the member of the Oritis organization who founded this sect has a high status in the organization and spent his own money. If this hypothesis is true, then this member must have some connection with the "Cat God".
The second is that the "Dark Eye" Church is a cover for higher-level human experiments. The experimental expenses are far greater than the church's expenses, so the money spent seems insignificant compared to the major expenses of the experiments.
Conan thought about it and decided that the first possibility was more likely. After all, if they really wanted to build a laboratory, they wouldn't choose to do so in an urban area. And judging by the apostle's attire on the skyship, he certainly looked like a believer in the "Cat God."
"So, 'Dark Eyes' was founded by the fanatical followers of the 'Cat God' within the Oritis Organization, and there's a high-ranking member of the organization behind it?" The prisoner frowned after hearing Conan's analysis. "This... doesn't seem to have anything to do with the teacher's case."
After finishing a day's work, everyone was on their way back. The prisoner was a little depressed: "I'm sorry to have asked you to accompany me here. I didn't expect it to be a waste of time."
"Don't worry, Luca, there must be other ways to find out the truth." The blind girl comforted him.
"Hmph, if all else fails, I'll try to get into the Oredis Organization. If Tracy can get in, there's no reason I can't." The prisoner regained his energetic demeanor. "Let them see my latest research on perpetual motion machines!"
"Ah? I thought you, Brother Luca, had given up on this project. Are you still doing it secretly?" Conan widened his eyes.
"Ahem, it's not a perpetual motion machine in the traditional sense. It's a more efficient power generation and discharge device. I've named it - Prototype Perpetual Motion Machine - All Things in the Universe - Three Thousand Deaths - Wormhole Devourer - MK2000."
Conan showed his half-moon eyes directly: "What a strange name."
"This is a legendary name that I came up with after consulting Mr. Charles. It is so shocking that it can shake the world and make ghosts cry. It is enough to break the tradition of the scientific community." The prisoner raised his head proudly and looked at Conan with his nose.
Compared to Brother Luca, the names given by Professor Agasa to his inventions are considered normal! Conan was speechless.
[Hermit: This name... Luca, are you serious?]
[Prisoner: I was kidding, that's just a new cover I made for the cipher machine.]
[Mechanic: But I see you've come up with a new invention. Show it to everyone.]
[Prisoner: Um, actually, this is the new idea I came up with after seeing the collar-shaped voice changer that Professor Agasa uses. Ding ding ding, this is it, an electronic voice changer.]
[Prophet: Wait, I think I know what this is used for.]
[Philanthropist: I asked Luca for one a couple of days ago. Come on, everyone, open the voice channel.]
[Lawyer: I always feel that you have bad intentions.]
[Philanthropist: Great lawyer, you are just a big fool.]
[doctor:???]
[Gardener: Aaaaah! My ears!]
[Philanthropist: Sorry, I'll turn it off now!]
[Forward: What a hellish invention!]
[Composer: Although this tune is chaotic, it is not completely useless.]
[Surveyor: At least it makes our post-game activities more convenient.]
Just then, the prisoner's phone rang. He took it out and looked at it. "Hey, it's Mr. Charles calling. Could it be that those guys are finally willing to listen to my advice and continue the investigation?"
The prisoner turned on the speaker of his cell phone and answered the call: "Mr. Charles, any updates?"
The pilot's voice on the other end of the phone sounded trembling: "Lu, Luca, a very strange thing happened here, you, you don't want to be scared when you hear it..."
"Well, what's so strange about the Crystal Palace ghost incident? Don't worry, Mr. Charles."
"Then, then I'll tell you." The pilot's voice trembled uncontrollably. "Professor Lorenz's body is missing!"
