Chapter 562: Worried
After Jiang Qilan finished his oath of initiation, everyone else, including Batty who had put down the scepter and holy grail, applauded him.
"Welcome, my brother!"
"From now on, we are a family!"
"We must help each other!"
Jiang Qilan also responded enthusiastically, shaking hands and hugging them.
He noticed that Batty accidentally glanced to the side: and that direction was exactly the direction of the person hiding in armor.
It seems that Batty knew about the fact that someone was hiding in armor.
And he acquiesced to this behavior.
Jiang Qilan couldn't understand why they did this - if he wanted to watch his initiation ceremony, he could use the camera or watch the video again -
This is not the best time to think about this.
Batty put his arm around Jiang Qilan's shoulders and said enthusiastically: "We senior members have some special powers and some unshirkable obligations. I will tell you in detail tomorrow..." After that, he gave Jiang Qilan a lewd smile: "I know you are anxious today, so I won't waste your time." Jiang Qilan patted Batty on the back, meaning "Thanks, buddy! Men still understand men better." "Okay, everyone, today's ceremony is over. Don't disturb the temple." Everyone bowed deeply to the wall with the photo of the temple president, and then turned and left the temple. Batty was responsible for closing the door of the temple. Before closing the door, he looked at a certain place in the temple again. The white door creaked and finally closed completely. After a long time, a certain armor in the temple made a "bang bang" sound of metal collision. A figure walked out of the armor. He walked straight to the swearing platform, picked up the scepter on the red silk of the swearing platform, and weighed it.
Then, he took out some kind of bottle from his pocket, squeezed out some lubricating stuff, and smeared it on the scepter until the whole sapphire was soaked and wrapped in liquid.
The man untied his belt, hung the scepter down, and half-knelt on the carpet.
Not long after, strange sounds rang out in the temple.
High and low.
It lasted for a long time.

Jiang Qilan and his party walked towards the auditorium.
The senior members of the Masonic Society are all busy people with all kinds of affairs. Being able to participate in the initiation ceremony is already a great honor. After the initiation ceremony, there is no point for them to stay here.
So, they said goodbye one after another.
Jiang Qilan sincerely thanked them for coming again and again, and watched them leave.
Only Amos did not leave.
"Huh? Mr. Amos? Aren't you leaving?" Batty asked.
Amos wanted to leave very much, but he couldn't.
What if Batty mentions the name [Cheng Ling] later and he misses it again?
"Well, John is probably having a good time. An old man like me should not spoil the fun of young people... It just so happens that I want to stay with you for a while. When people get older, they want to chat with old friends." Amos explained.
Batty smiled and patted Amos on the shoulder: "Hahaha! Don't give in to old age, my friend! You can continue to struggle for fifty years!"
Amos waved his hand modestly and said self-deprecating words.
But Amos did not notice that a sharp light flashed quietly in Batty's blue eyes.
Batty noticed Amos's abnormality.
While chatting and laughing with Amos, he speculated in his heart:
- Amos, this old man, refused to leave. Is he trying to get some information from him?
What information?
Amos didn't have this attitude before...
His change came after he "dropped the wine glass by mistake"...
So Batty began to trace what happened at that time.
He mentioned a person at that time, a Chinese female star that Jiang Qilan had just made friends with: Cheng Ling.
Could it be that Amos knew Cheng Ling?
Even if he did, there was no need to be so frightened by a name, right?
It seemed that he had to check this Cheng Ling himself.
He was worried about handing such an important task to his subordinates.
