What! Our family is actually the descendant of the evil god?.

Chapter 319: Even the gods cannot protect everyone

The next morning, after Eros had breakfast, he boarded a carriage heading to the Special Operations Department.

Anne and others were somewhat puzzled by Eros's action. Generally speaking, isn't vacation for three consecutive days?

It's only the next day, how come Eros went to the Special Operations Department?

So Eros briefly explained how he saved Peter yesterday.

Tell them that you are going to the Special Operations Department now just to find out the specific situation.

If nothing serious happens, he will come back by then.

In this way, Eros said goodbye to the three women.

After arriving at Youghal Street, he patrolled the street as usual.

This wouldn't take too long, so Eros didn't rush to the Special Operations Office.

The neighborhood was still the same as it had been a few days ago, Mr. Vadim was still as friendly as ever, and Mrs. Jennifer's flower shop was still locked.

The only thing that could be said to be different was the expression on the little girl Jessica's face.

Different from the happiness and liveliness of the past two days, today Jessica's little face showed a rare trace of sadness.

Eros was a little surprised when he saw this scene. Could something have happened in Jessica's family?

But if something happened at home, how could she have time to come out and sell matches?

"Why do you seem unhappy today?"

After thinking for a moment, Eros asked with concern in a gentle tone.

Jessica pursed her lips and said with a sob:

"Mrs. Jennifer is missing, and then I heard some terrible news."

"The news said that Mrs. Jennifer fell into the hands of a group of vicious grave robbers. It is unlikely that she is still alive now."

So the flower shop was closed for a few days. Was it because the manager, Mrs. Jennifer, disappeared?

Also, tomb robbers?

Thinking of this, Eros frowned. The only reason why Mrs. Jennifer fell into the hands of grave robbers was that she had been to the cemetery.

The cemetery now...

Wait, could it be that when Mrs. Jennifer went to the cemetery, she happened to run into members of the Abyss Cult creating zombies?

That is why the news said that there was little chance that Mrs. Jennifer was still alive.

This cannot be said to be very small, but it can be said that there is no possibility of survival.

I guess the news Jessica heard was probably polished and released by the police.

The reason why the news did not say that he was dead was probably because the body had not been found yet!

But corpses... ghouls...

Eros sighed softly and reached out to rub the little head in front of him that was still sobbing.

It seemed that Jessica should have realized long ago that those fresh roses were thrown away by Mrs. Jennifer on purpose.

The kind lady has been protecting the pitiful self-esteem of the little girl in front of her in her own subtle way.

But she was involved in a mysterious incident without knowing it, and her body was never found.

Looking at the sad little girl in front of him, Eros wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say.

Should he say that Mrs. Jennifer would definitely be fine?

This is nothing but self-deception.

In the end, Eros said nothing, but just watched the little girl sobbing in front of him silently.

After a while, Jessica raised her little face and forced a smile and said:

"Mrs. Jennifer will be fine. She is such a kind person. The great gods will definitely protect her."

Eros still didn't say anything, but just rubbed Jessica's head again.

There are so many people in the world, it is impossible for the gods to protect everyone.

After saying goodbye to Jessica, Eros continued walking along the street, and it didn't take him long to inspect the entire street.

After that, he didn't stay outside for long and went straight to the West District Police Headquarters not far away.

After arriving at the Special Operations Office, as soon as Eros entered the door, Peter put his arm around his shoulders:

"Conan, thank you so much for yesterday!"

When Peter said this, his face was full of fear.

Eros smiled slightly and said, "You should thank Ms. Vivian. She arrived before me and used holy water to help you remove some of the pollution."

Hearing Eros' words, David beside him chuckled and said:

"He also wanted to use the excuse of thanking Vivian to put his arm around her shoulders earlier!"

Eros raised his eyebrows and asked with interest: "And then?"

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Peter coughed hard.

But David ignored Peter's hint. He pointed to the wall on the other side and said mockingly:

"Then, before he even touched Vivian's shoulder, she knocked him away."

At this point, David laughed: "You haven't cleaned up the pollution from yesterday yet, otherwise why would you do such a stupid thing?"

"You can take advantage of Vivian too?"

"Get out, get out, get out!" Peter cursed angrily.

Eros looked in the direction David pointed, and saw a sunken human-shaped mark on the wall.

It seems that Vivian's attack was quite heavy-handed. Thinking of this, Eros turned his head and looked at Vivian, who was leaning back in the chair on the other side, with an air of "destruction, I'm tired".

As if she noticed someone was looking at her, Vivian raised her eyelids for a moment, then continued in that position.

Eros was a little surprised. She wasn't so depressed when he saw her yesterday.

David, who was standing by, saw this and explained in a low voice:

"I heard from Daisy that Vivian has to pay off her bank debt today."

So that's how it is. Eros understood. No wonder he was so depressed. He probably couldn't come up with the money.

A debt of 17 pounds is indeed a bit too much for a Sequence 6.

Shaking his head, Eros withdrew his gaze from Vivian and returned it to Peter:

"Did you discover anything yesterday?"

Hearing Eros mention what happened yesterday, Peter said in a depressed tone:

"Didn't you have guests at your house yesterday? When I was helping you patrol the area this afternoon, I saw Chief Inspector Modi and several police officers investigating the disappearance of a florist."

"Then I went up to ask for some specific details. After hearing that the florist disappeared in the cemetery and that a body had been stolen from the cemetery, I became suspicious."

The flower shop owner? Mrs. Jennifer? She had indeed run into someone from the Abyss Cult.

But she didn't expect that the reason why Peter encountered pollution yesterday was actually related to her incident.

There was a hint of thought in Eros' eyes, but Peter, who was talking at the side, did not notice the change in Eros' expression. He was still talking about what happened to him yesterday.

"So I went to the cemetery and tried to use the objects that were related to the stolen bodies to perform spiritualism."

"I learned the details of the matter through spiritualism, but who knew that the matter was actually related to a supernatural being."

"Fortunately, I interrupted the spiritual communication in time, otherwise I would have really died there."

Hearing Peter's last sigh, Eros curled his lips.

Did you interrupt quickly enough? That means they didn't want to kill you at all.

Of course, he just complained about this in his heart but didn't say it out loud.
