Chapter 306 Request from the Eye of Wisdom

"Old sir, what do you want me to do if you stay here?"

It was Sherlock who spoke first. He was still wearing a hooded robe and an iron mask that covered the upper half of his face as usual. He was sitting straight on the armchair with his hands folded under the robe, exuding a sense of rejection. The temperament of a person thousands of miles away.

"Haha, I just want to ask you a few questions about the 'Devil Dog' from a month ago." The Eye of Wisdom chuckled and said, "First of all, I want to confirm again, that Sequence 6 'Devil Dog' 'The dog was killed by you, right?"

"I killed it. Haven't its extraordinary properties been sold to you? How can it still be fake?"

Angel felt something was wrong, and his tone deliberately contained a hint of dissatisfaction, leading the topic to the authenticity of extraordinary characteristics.

"Of course it's true. I've verified it. That's why I ask."

The organizer of the gathering of extraordinary people looked at Sherlock who was sitting in the corner instead of Angel who was talking back.

"After you sold me the characteristics of the 'Devil' that day, you pretended to propose a deal, but you were actually giving him half of the proceeds. You know each other and have cooperated before, right?"

Sherlock said nothing, acquiescing.

"Yes, he and I actually killed that demon dog together."

Seeing that Sherlock did not deny it, Angel had no choice but to nod and admit the matter. After all, the "Eye of Wisdom" should have confirmed this by keeping the two of them together, and the inquiry was just out of politeness.

Of course, she did not tell the other party the specific battle process, which would expose their potion methods and strength.

Eyes of Wisdom raised the corners of his mouth, making his nasolabial folds more obvious. He seemed to be happy that his judgment was correct, and then he continued:

"Then this is a bit strange. As far as I know, Extraordinaries of the 'Demon' sequence have a special sense of danger directed at them. If you two can kill it easily, it will definitely not show up easily. of."

He seemed to be asking Angel and Sherlock, but also seemed to be talking to himself, expressing his own analysis.

"Unless you have a way to hide your own strength and let it think that killing you is the best way to avoid danger, it will take the initiative to attack... Well, do you two have some kind of anti-divination and anti-prophecy method? Interfering with its sense of danger... No, only one person should be able to do it, otherwise it would not be able to sense any danger."

Seeing him analyze the truth in just a few words, Angel was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this old gentleman not only had the prestige of being able to hold parties for a long time, but also had excellent reasoning skills.

No wonder he calls himself the "Eye of Wisdom"...

"So, what are you going to say? If you are just asking about the battle process, then she already told you last time, and you already know the reason why the devil dog took the initiative. Can we leave?"

Sherlock's tone was low, with a hint of impatience, which was completely inconsistent with his usual image. Angel guessed that he was acting in some way, perhaps because he wanted to force the "Eye of Wisdom" to reveal his true purpose quickly.

"I just want to know, when you killed the 'Demon Dog' last time, did you feel that there was anyone peeping around you, or even someone interfering with that battle?"

peep?

Angel recalled the fierce battle in that lightless alley, her inexplicable tacit cooperation with Sherlock, and the devil dog's desperate and crazy attack.

But there is no fourth "person" in it...

really not?

She suddenly thought that after killing the demon dog, the two subconsciously leaned together to guard against subsequent attacks.Could it be that at that time, the two people's spirituality had given some kind of reminder, making her and Sherlock think that someone would continue to attack them later, but the battle was too fierce and the two of them were nervous and did not realize it?

Obviously, Sherlock sitting in the corner also thought of this. He nodded hesitantly and said:

"It's possible, but the other party didn't show up in the end, so I can't be sure."

A coin appeared in his hand at some point, but he never threw it out. He just stroked the uneven surface of the coin with his fingertips.

Even the divination experts are not sure... Is it because of the opponent's anti-divination?

"That's right. Behind the 'Devil Dog', there is indeed another Beyonder." Eyes of Wisdom crossed his legs, assumed a comfortable posture, and continued, "Just two days ago, Baekeland The archives of the German Police Headquarters were stolen, and a file is missing. I think you can guess which one it is."

"This morning, multiple private detectives received threatening letters, written in blood, announcing that they would all die, with a predetermined 'time of death' on them. At the end of this month, November 11, everyone will It's the same day."

Threatening letters...Why do I keep getting threatening letters recently?

Angel was a little surprised, but not much.

Before the demon dog attacked her and Sherlock, the two of them had already analyzed that there might be someone behind the animal that was undergoing the 'ascension ceremony' that fed it and provided it with potions. The quick start of action again left Angel a little confused.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't we hibernate first and wait for the storm to completely pass and for the relevant personnel to relax their vigilance?Stealing files and sending threatening letters in a big way is like shouting at the whole world to make everyone pay attention to his actions. They are reckless and unnecessary.

She secretly looked at Sherlock in the corner - this "detective" was also one of the people who participated in analyzing the case and provided clues. Could he also be on the other party's revenge list?

"It is unlikely that this 'devil dog' took the magic potion on its own and was promoted to Sequence 6," the Eye of Wisdom continued without seeming to notice Angel's little move, "Of course, it accidentally consumed extraordinary properties. It is an example of an extraordinary creature with wisdom after surviving death by luck, but it is impossible for this creature to know the promotion method and potion formula, so there must be a 'master' behind it who has the same path but a higher sequence."

"And you think those detectives are facing vengeance from this man?"

Sherlock asked rhetorically.

"That's right, and as the people who killed it, you should have been on the list originally, but it was difficult for him to find you for a while, and there was no record in the official files, so he could only focus on the unlucky detective first."

"They should report the crime and seek help from official Beyonders."

"It is true, but this is the last resort. The detectives don't want to deal with the authorities, especially among them there are guys called 'Wild Extraordinaries'. They would rather face the situation than be locked up under the church. To danger."

The Eye of Wisdom looked at Angel who made "reasonable suggestions" and explained.

"This is why I kept you. I received a commission and wanted to hire you two extraordinary people who had killed the 'Devil Dog' to participate in the action of protecting the detectives, and even have the opportunity to locate the person behind the scenes. , solve the last troubles, for them, and for yourselves. Of course, if the risk is really high, they will not hesitate to ask official extraordinary people for help, and will not put you in mortal danger."

After hearing the other party's true purpose, Angel nodded clearly.

Sure enough, this "Eye of Wisdom" laid all the groundwork just to bring Sherlock and I in. I don't know what benefits those detectives promised him to make him so dedicated. I remember the first time I attended the party here in the summer Locke was once threatened by other extraordinary people and tried to ask for help. At that time, he suggested that the other party "spend money to eliminate disasters"...

She was a little hesitant, because Sherlock would obviously appear on the death list of the person behind the scenes. Unlike herself who had hidden her identity, Sherlock had an obvious identity as a detective. Unless he gave up this identity and changed his identity, it was very likely that he would be killed. was secretly retaliated against.

"Sorry, I refuse."

Without even hearing the reward for the commission, the detective refused without hesitation.

This made the words Angel was about to agree hang in his throat.

Chapter 307 Directly Targeting Klein's Threat

Whether he had expected it or did not show his surprise and disappointment, the "Eye of Wisdom" just nodded gently, calmly turned his gaze from Sherlock to Angel, and asked for her opinion.

"This matter has little to do with us. Besides, the Extraordinary who can cultivate Sequence 6 'Devils' must be at least Sequence 5, right? I think this is a bit beyond our capabilities."

Not knowing what Sherlock really thought, Angel had no choice but to agree with his opinion.

"I see. It seems that you have the means to deal with the other party's tracking. Those detectives can only seek help from official Beyonders. After all, I don't have any effective way to restrict a Sequence 5 'Apostle of Desire'."

Eyes of Wisdom spoke in a calm tone, as if he was only talking about other people's affairs... But that was also true. He was the only "outsider" present, unless the man behind the scenes loved the "Devil Dog" deeply, and even its extraordinary The characteristics must also be taken back, otherwise this old gentleman may not be easily involved in the incident.

"'Apostle of Desire', is the follow-up sequence of 'Devil'?"

Sherlock, who had relaxed completely after refusing to help and seemed to no longer pay attention to the conversation, suddenly asked.

"Yes, he has all the characteristics of a 'demon'. He is anti-divination, extremely sensitive to dangers directed at him, and can be 'demonized'. He also has the ability to use and manipulate everyone's emotions and desires. As for the specific information, I'm afraid Only the secret documents within the church are recorded. After all, each Desire Apostle carries dozens or hundreds of murder cases, and must be the focus of the Zhengshen Church."

"Thank you for your information."

Sherlock nodded slightly and thanked him, then continued to lean on the back of the chair without any "regret".

"Oh, it doesn't have to be like this. There are still more than ten days before the 'prediction' of the man behind the scenes. During this period, there should be two or three parties. If you," Eye of Wisdom said, looking at Angel, "you guys , if you are interested in providing help and participating in the distribution of high bounties, you can tell me at any time."

"A reward? But haven't they reported the crime yet?"

Angel raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I will let them do this. It will inevitably generate a higher bounty than the serial murder case, but in any case, official extraordinary people cannot provide long-term protection, and the last thing the 'devil' lacks is waiting. Be patient, as long as there is a flaw in the protection, they will still be retaliated against."

"Using the exact time he predicted, there is a chance to set up an ambush and kill the person behind the scenes?"

Angel said after taking over the other party's words.

"Yes, with your participation, the success rate will be much higher."

The old gentleman still did not give up his persuasion and added at the end.

----

"So, you didn't receive the threatening letter mentioned by 'Eye of Wisdom'?"

After walking out of the small building where the party was held, Klein quickly saw Angel waiting at the corner of the alley. The latter had taken off his iron mask and was looking at the street lights outside the alley with a melancholy expression.

If you don't look at the disguised round face and the black hair hanging behind the shoulders, just looking at the side silhouette under the dim light, it is exactly the same as the Nighthawk Angel Granger in Klein's memory, making him involuntarily recall Every moment when the two of them got along in Tingen City.

"Of course not, otherwise I would not refuse this even if it was to protect myself."

He answered in a relaxed tone, and walked out of the alley side by side with Angel. The other person would first go to a safe house in the East District before returning home, so Klein took the lead and walked towards the nearest steam subway station.

Klein did not lie about this matter. He indeed did not receive the so-called threatening letter.

Although when Eye of Wisdom first mentioned this matter, he was indeed a little worried about his identity being exposed, but if he rashly agreed to the other party's commission when he was not threatened, he might end up "having to accept protection as a threatened person again. He had to participate in the operation as a protector", so he first rejected the request of the Eye of Wisdom.

You must be careful and don't let the incident happen again, where you accidentally exposed your identity when you first came to Backlund, and ended up having to spend a lot of money to hire someone to assassinate Ambassador Intis...

Klein felt a sense of fear when he thought about the international farce that ended with the assassination of the ambassador because of his five-pound commission. Rune and Intis accused each other in the newspapers for a whole month.

Enjoying the tranquility of the street at night, he and Angel walked through the entire street, said good night to each other next to the subway station, and then parted ways. Watching each other's backs disappear around the corner of the stairs, Klein reluctantly left Backlund Bridge. District, back home in the Jowood District.

"Now that I think back to what happened at the party just now, I always feel that she is about to agree to the 'Eye of Wisdom' commission. Is it because she is worried about my identity being exposed, or is she interested in the bounty... Ha, it should be the latter. , Klein, you must not fall into the three major illusions. Now you are Sherlock Moriarty, not the Klein Moriarty she is familiar with..." He was thinking wildly, took out the key and opened the door.

The moment he opened the door, the smile on Klein's face froze. He felt that his spiritual intuition was touched. He suddenly stopped and stood by the door, observing the home through the crimson moonlight that shone into the living room through the door and window. Case.

The coat rack, coffee table, sofa, dimly visible bookshelf and stairs in the distance... are all normal.

But he knew that strangers had entered his home.

Nerves were tense and his feet were strong, ready to dodge at any time. Klein gently turned on the gas lamp at the door, and the warm light illuminated the entire room. Everything was as it was when he left in the evening, without any change.

No, there is an extra letter on the coffee table.

He picked up the cane by the door that he would take with him when he went out as a decent person, and slowly walked to the coffee table. With full attention and vigilance, he picked up the letter without any words or marks on the surface, and opened it with one hand.

A faint smell of blood drifted into his nostrils, and two lines of solidified blood characters on the thin letter paper caught Klein's eyes.

"November 11th is the day you and they die."

"No one can escape!"

The last stroke of the letters at the end of the sentence stretched out to the edge of the letter, and the bloody traces seemed to tell the other party's determination.

Threat letter!

The threatening letter mentioned by "Eye of Wisdom"!

----

At five o'clock on Sunday afternoon, Angel applied the bottle of communication potion provided by Tris on the ice mirror he made.

The ice mirror can be broken into shapeless fragments at any time according to her will. Compared with ordinary mirrors, it is more suitable for communicating with objects of unknown purpose like Triss.

Different from the direct connection last time, after applying the potion and waiting for a minute, the mirror surface became dark, and then the picture on the other side appeared.

Triss wore a robe that covered every inch of her skin. Her round face under her black hair was full of sorrow. When she saw Angel, a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes.

"As expected, you contacted me on time. I knew that I would successfully make my request that day."

These words made Angel confused, but thinking of all the strange behaviors on Triss, she came to a conclusion instantly.

"You don't remember what happened that night?"

Hearing Angel's rhetorical question, Triss's beautiful face gradually showed a mixture of fear, worry and helplessness.

"No, I remember most of it. I met you. You said you knew me in Tingen City. I also told you... about my current situation. But I forgot about it later. When I woke up, I was naked again. , lying on that guy's bed, he, he..."

"Prince Edsac Augustus?"

Angel carefully interrupted Triss.

"That's right, it's him!"

Triss shouted through gritted teeth.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 308 The Witch Who Unwilling to Surrender

"I can feel that someone, something, is manipulating my life and making me become less and less like myself."

Triss calmed down a little, and began to tell her story as she had done when they met on the balcony on the day of the dance.

"After coming to Backlund from Tingen, I was quickly found by them and returned to the Witch Cult. Originally, Servilia said that she would let me lead new people, just like Sharon Hoy, who would lead a few novice assassins. , taught them killing techniques and asked them to complete the sect's instructions. But they soon changed their minds and arranged for me to meet Edsac...

"Then, that man fell madly in love with me, said it was love at first sight, and even gave up pursuing the daughter of a wealthy earl for me. He was so obsessed with a suspicious woman he had only met once, and her appearance was so... Like a ridiculous supporting character who falls in love with the heroine in a third-rate novel. What's even more ridiculous is that at that time, I was still secretly happy that I was so popular after becoming a woman, haha, hahaha!"

At this point, she suddenly laughed like crazy, and the sound was transmitted to the side of the mirror, echoing in the small basement, like the roar of an evil spirit, without a trace of smile, only madness.

Inwardly surprised by Triss' performance, Angel did not respond, but waited quietly for her to continue.

Fortunately, this Sequence 6 Beyonder was not immersed in pessimism. He quickly stopped smiling and looked towards the mirror with tearful eyes. His black pupils were filled with emotions that Angel could not understand.

"By coincidence, we always met everywhere, and then under his arrangement, I moved into a manor in the suburbs and was 'captive' by him. Of course, he didn't think so himself. He felt that he was protecting me. It is providing me with the best living conditions.

"And I became more and more strange. How could a normal man accept everything so quickly after becoming a woman? But every time I resisted the intimacy, I even wanted to run away and stay away from it all. , the memory will become confused, and when you wake up again, hours or even a whole night has often passed!

"I tried my best to use the invisibility spell to seize the horse and escape. I even endured my nausea and seduced his subordinates... But without exception, all my attempts failed. There were always various coincidences that made me fall short. If I'm lucky enough not to meet anyone, the feeling that I can't control my body will come back and make me give up on escaping."

Hearing this, Angel remembered Servilia's words about "trying to escape many times" and felt a little sad about the fate of this witch whose hands were once stained with blood, but now she is trapped in some kind of "arrangement".

"At that time, I naively thought that as long as I improved my strength, I could get rid of this weird control, so I asked someone to help me collect extraordinary materials and was promoted to 'Happiness'. Haha, I didn't expect that the situation would become more serious."

Triss must have been holding back with Prince Edsac for a long time. Now she has found someone who can talk to her, even if it is across the mirror and the spirit world, even if she is not sure whether the other person will help her, she will tell her regardless. everything.

But according to what she said, being able to tell everything without any hindrance, it seems that the so-called "control" is not so terrible?

"Do you think that now that I can tell you everything, it seems that the situation is not as serious as I said?" As if she saw Angel's confusion, Triss sneered and said, "That's because I have gradually gotten used to it! I'm used to sleeping with him, I'm used to giving in to his anger, I'm used to being forgiven by his apology, I'm used to being a woman and serving a man!"

She yelled out the last word, but as if she was worried that the sound would be heard outside the room, she calmed down instantly and lowered her voice.

"As long as I abide by certain rules, that power will not take effect, and those created coincidences will not come to me... So I finally waited for this opportunity, and waited until I lost myself in the dance to make someone else The opportunity for others to pass on the potion..."

Triss changed her tone of voice, the one she seemed to have become proficient in, and said with a sticky tone of temptation:

"I guess Servilia will definitely let you get close to me, monitor me, and prevent me from escaping. Of course, I have several people like you around me, including maids, housekeepers, and even extraordinary people arranged by Edsac. Or, I will take care of some of them, so that they will restrain each other and have no time to take care of my movements, and you can help me escape from all this..."

Seeing that Triss had been laying the groundwork for a long time and finally got to the point, Angel shook his head slightly and was about to speak.

"Don't be too busy to refuse. I can provide you with generous rewards, such as magic potion formulas. You should know that the subsequent magic potion of 'Witch' is 'Happiness', right? And I can not only give you 'Happiness', but also I will give you the subsequent 'Painful' potion formula and the way to be promoted." Unfortunately, I am already a pleasure witch, and your offer is not very attractive to me...

Angel thought silently.

But she was still confused, how could such a person who was almost a "chess piece" of the Witch Sect possess the Sequence 5 formula?

"It takes too much risk to help you, but the benefits are pitifully small. Servilia has already given me the material of 'Happiness'. As long as I complete the task and get the formula, I can prepare the magic potion to be promoted, and the sequence 5. I'm not interested at the moment."

She shook her head with feigned regret and rejected Triss's request.

"Haha, Servilia? She will only hang you, give you a glimmer of hope, and make you her pawn." As if she heard something ridiculous, Triss laughed twice, and then said, "She She gave me the formula but not the extraordinary materials. If she gives you the materials, the formula will definitely get stuck. This is how she manages her men."

"What about you? How do you know the formula of Sequence 5? Based on your identity as a chess piece placed next to the prince?"

"After being tortured by that mysterious power for a long time, even if I am unable to resist, I will still gain something. And you don't need to risk your life. You only need to report my matter to the official Beyonders, Nighthawks, and Agents. Punisher, Machine Heart, anyone, tell them Prince Edsac is hiding the witch in Red Rose Manor, and let them come and capture me."

"Are you crazy? Even if your memory is confused, you probably haven't forgotten what you did in Tingen City and the Alfalfa, right?"

Angel frowned, worried that there was a communication problem due to the instability of the spiritual world, and that he had misheard what the other party meant.

But then she realized that Triss would rather be arrested by the official Beyonders, tried, and locked up under the church without ever seeing the light of day than stay with Prince Edsac.

This is not only a conflict in thinking and behavior caused by gender inversion, but also because she feels that she cannot control everything about herself and feels that everything is controlled by something.

Moreover, Angel seems to have heard of what she just said about "gaining something from the tossing of mysterious power" somewhere...

By the way, when he intercepted the escaping Lanreus in the sewers of the dock area, the fraudster who used strange abilities in the battle once said similar words.

And he once contained the divinity of the "True Creator", and even almost triggered the arrival of the evil god in the dock area!

Angel subconsciously looked at Triss on the other side of the mirror, and at the inconspicuous sapphire ring on the little finger of her left hand.

She finally recalled the origin of that frightening feeling after seeing Triss's strange change when she attended the ball.

No matter how weak and inconspicuous that power is, its status is far higher than the two pleasure witches on both sides of the mirror, and even higher than ordinary high-sequence extraordinary beings.

That is the power of the gods!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 309 The plans of both sides

Last time, in order to find the whereabouts of Lanerwus, he forced a divination on the "True Creator", which almost killed Angel. If it weren't for the protection of the secret holy symbol, I'm afraid she would have turned into a human in the sewers of the East District. A corpse whose original appearance cannot be seen.

But this time, just seeing a sapphire ring made her feel as scared as facing the aura of an evil god.

It turns out that Triss was not affected by "0-08", but was plotted by the Witch Sect, and her body contained the aura of an evil god, like Lanreus, like... Megoose?Could it be that the breath in her body is the "original witch" that the Witch Sect believes in?

Or maybe it's a combination of both. Ince Zangwill, who cooperated with the Witch Cult, used 0-08 to plan this incident, and Triss's weirdness was just another insurance.

Angel didn't dare to think about it, and he had no time to think about it. Triss on the opposite side of the mirror was looking at this side with expectant eyes, with a faint smile on her face, which was poignant and endearing.

No, that's just the way the pleasure witch uses it...

Angel gathered his thoughts and shook his head firmly.

"I can't promise you for the time being. Servilia is pretty good to me, and the promised reward has never been delayed. I have no reason to betray her."

She didn't really think that the middle-level members of the Witch Cult were very honest, but she would rather face other pleasure witches than Triss who was at the center of the mysterious vortex.

"Oh, betrayal... What kind of betrayal can be said for people who come together through profit and deception? You can think about it carefully, whether you will never get ahead within the sect, or you can do me a small favor and get a pass. The key to the demigod?"

Demi god?Does she even know the Sequence 4 potion formula?

Angel raised her eyebrows, but before she could answer, the communication potion had evaporated, and the ice mirror in front of her returned to normal in a flash, reflecting her blurry face.

----

Seeing the round-faced witch's doubtful and wary face disappear into the mirror, Triss sighed softly and reached out to wipe away the remaining dark red potion on the dressing mirror. Black flames shot up in her hand, burning The mirror burned the entire room, cleaning away all traces.

"I didn't expect that this guy looked stupid, but he was unexpectedly alert. Who was she before she became a witch? Cole? Mason? I should have known more about those colleagues who had never been masked before, instead of just focusing on promotion. …"

Looking at the sapphire ring on her little finger, Triss was a little curious. Today, she was ready to be controlled by an unknown force during the conversation and stop asking for help. Unexpectedly, the conversation went very smoothly, even though the other party did not agree to help escape. , but he has put some of his chips on the table, arousing the other party's interest.

Next, I will continue to play the woman who tries to escape in a stupid way...

With a smile on her lips, she opened the door and walked out of the secret room, leaving her bedroom. As soon as she came to the corridor, she immediately felt several eyes locked on her. They were the maid and housekeeper who were responsible for monitoring and protecting her.

In addition, there was also a blazing gaze that fell on Triss' face. She looked back and found that it was Prince Edsac's friend, the equestrian teacher Talim Dumont.

This gentleman with short curly brown hair and wearing a black woolen coat came towards Tris and stopped one meter away under the alert gaze of the maid beside him.

"Miss Triss, the horse you asked to choose last time has arrived. It has a docile personality and is well-trained. It will not shake the beautiful lady off the horse again."

"Great, I need to see it first."

The two of them talked and gradually walked towards the stables in a corner of the manor, away from the sight of others.

"How have you considered that matter?"

Talim lowered his voice, and his eyes fell on the old housekeeper who was looking at the door of the villa.

"I mentioned it to Edsac, and he got furious and told me to stop talking. I, I don't know what to do..."

Triss petted the mare that Talim had brought, and replied amid its snoring, with hesitation and pain in her tone.

"You know, that is the best choice for both of you. As long as you are willing to leave Backlund, I can find a way!"

The equestrian teacher's eyes were so intense that Triss couldn't bear it. She had to turn her head and said nothing, but there was a trace of expectation in her eyes.

Talim understood and led the horse towards the depths of the stable. Behind him, the newly promoted "Witch of Joy" had a cold smile on her lips.

———— Late at night, Angel was summarizing the contents of today's call with Tris in the study, preparing to inform Laura at the right time. Although the news contained important clues, it was not considered urgent, so she did not use the communication potion in advance. .

Although Triss told a lot of secrets in order to ask for help and impress Angel, but in summary, she found that in addition to knowing the hiding place of the other party, she could report it to the Nighthawks at critical moments by capturing or killing Triss. There isn't much useful information other than interfering with the Witch Sect's plan.

The only thing that is useful is probably Triss's sapphire ring. It is probably a magical item no less than 0-08, and may even be related to the "original witch"...

Her thoughts were interrupted by the coldness in her chest, and the fear of peeping at the gods spread throughout her body, making her whole body cold.

Oh, it turns out that the magic mirror hidden in the chest reacted...

She scratched her head, took out the magic mirror and looked at the mirror, and found that the dark red potion that had been applied around it had seeped into the surrounding glass, and the screen flickered in the area circled by them, and a familiar figure appeared in it.

"Sherlock? Is there something urgent?"

After seeing the person on the other side of the mirror clearly, Angel moved the magic mirror a little further so that the other person could see the scene on his side clearly, and then asked.

"It's not urgent, but I think I should tell you, otherwise I may not have the chance in the future."

Sherlock's unhurried answer made Angel feel nervous.

"No chance?" she blurted out, and then immediately thought of a possibility, "'Apostle of Desire'?"

"Yes."

Sherlock on the other side of the mirror was bent over awkwardly. The surrounding environment was small and cramped, as if he was in the bathroom. After hearing Angel's words, he showed a wry smile and nodded.

"After leaving the party yesterday, I found a letter written in blood as soon as I got home. It said what the 'Eye of Wisdom' mentioned, a crime notice for November 11. The only good news is that he thought I was Instead of ordinary detectives, they have only sent out threatening letters and have taken no further action."

"You should have agreed to the 'Eye of Wisdom' commission then!" Angel couldn't help complaining, "Do you need me to go to your side now?"

"If the 'Apostle of Desire' had delivered the letter a few hours earlier, I would have definitely agreed, but it's not too late now. I accept protection as Detective Moriarty, and you continue to be in the dark."

Angel suddenly realized.

"So what you mean when you say 'no chance' to tell me is that you plan to accept the protection of official Beyonders?"

she asked, relieved.

"Yes, just like Mr. Eye of Wisdom said, I plan to report the crime before the next party, and then contact other detectives who have received threatening letters, and suggest that they report the crime together and accept the surveillance and protection of official extraordinary people. Fish out the Desire Apostle. And you can accept the commission through the 'Eye of Wisdom' and act in secret to increase the success rate of the action.

"You haven't received a threatening letter, which means that the desire apostle either has no way to kill the demon dog, or can't find your location with anti-divination. You are hiding in the dark and can solve the problem without revealing your identity. this incident.

"Of course, there is a certain risk..."

"Just do it!"

Angel replied before Sherlock finished speaking.

She originally thought that the other party did not want to get involved in this matter, so after he refused the "Eye of Wisdom", he also refused the commission. Unexpectedly, Sherlock was not nervous at all because he had not received a threatening letter, which made her a little bit I can't laugh or cry.

"Anyway, it's best not to come to my place these days. Maybe there will be an official Beyonder targeting my home soon. It will probably be the Machinery Heart, because I am a believer of the Church of Steam for the time being."

The two exchanged some details about reporting the crime and squatting in secret. Sherlock drew the triangular holy emblem on his chest, and then the follower of the Fool interrupted the scene in the mirror.

Chapter 310 The Tarot Club ends quickly

"Mr. Fool, and everyone, good afternoon."

In the grand palace in the world of gray fog, "Justice" Audrey's clear and melodious greeting sounded. Everyone, including the Fool, responded to the girl one after another, and the atmosphere on the long bronze table became lively.

The northern continent is about to enter the cold winter of December. Even this isolated gray fog seems to have become colder, making everyone a little lazy. No one has found a new diary of Emperor Russell this week, so the Tarot Club The agenda soon moves to the next stage: free exchange.

"Since I returned to the Tarot Society, I have not provided the diary to Mr. Fool. I wonder if he will have any objections... Fortunately, Audrey promised to share some with me next time she finds the diary, which relieves my urgent need. ."

"Queen" Angel glanced at Mr. Fool at the top of the long table with some anxiety, and then turned his gaze to the Hanged Man opposite.

"Mr. Hanged Man, thank you for your help. I am very satisfied with the magical items made with the 'Shepherd' attribute. Please convey my gratitude to the craftsman for me."

She touched the top of her chest and said, there was nothing there, and the rose necklace did not enter the gray mist space with her soul.

"It doesn't have to be like this, I also got my share of the introduction fee," the Hanged Man replied in a relaxed tone, "The craftsman still has free time for work. I wonder if you still need to make other items?"

It seems that the 500 pounds has fully mobilized the other party's enthusiasm, so much so that the Hanged Man has begun to think about Angel's other two extraordinary characteristics.

But I have no money!

Angel lowered his head guiltily, pretending to think, and rejected the other party after a moment.

Of course, her answer was "I have to consider the choice of the next magical item for the time being", rather than exposing her dilemma of not being able to even pay for the production.

To make a magical item with the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 6, the production fee alone would probably cost around 1000 pounds. This is already more than Angel's entire savings, let alone the portion given to the Hanged Man.

"cough--"

Seeing that the conversation between the two ended quickly due to insufficient balance, Miss Justice coughed lightly and attracted everyone's attention. Just when Angel thought she was going to "advance" the production fee again, Audrey said with a hint of hesitation:

"Everyone, I have encountered a difficult situation. Please help me with some advice." She began politely, and then continued, "Last month, I said that there were members of the 'Psychological Alchemy Society' following me. Contacted me and prepared to examine me, but something unexpected happened in the middle. The contact person was involved in an incident and should have died. Originally I thought this clue had been interrupted, but just yesterday, another suspected Members of the Alchemy Society approached me again and asked about my interest in psychology..."

"Do you suspect that they are planning to test you again?"

Angel took over and said.

She had some doubts in her heart. Audrey initially concealed her connection with Ms. D's attack because she was worried that someone would use this to connect "Justice" with "Audrey Hall." However, the incident has passed, and it is said that the church Relevant information has also been blocked. Only the "Queen" knows about this matter in the Tarot Club, and "Justice" and the "Queen" know each other. There is no need to introduce the incident in vague terms and affect the judgment of others.

Unless...she knew someone else in the Tarot Club who would identify Ms. D based on her attack?

Looking quickly around the audience, Angel ruled out most possibilities: the sun was not in the northern continent, the Hanged Man was at sea, the world was silent, and the few previous interactions also showed that he did not know "justice", so there was only...

"Magician" Forsi sat up straight uneasily. She suddenly felt a line of sight looking at her, and it disappeared in an instant.

"Based on what you said, I think there are two possibilities." The Hanged Man did not notice the "Queen" peering at others. All his thinking ability was used to help Justice analyze the intention of the Psychological Alchemy Society. "The biggest The possibility is that they want to contact you to understand the truth about the 'accident' you mentioned; secondly, maybe you have shown some characteristics that make them very determined to recruit you into the organization."

"A certain characteristic..."

Miss Justice murmured to herself, lost in thought.

"For example, your family conditions, your social circle, huh, I'm just providing another perspective, it may not be correct."

The world sitting at the other end of the long table suddenly spoke, his voice not as deep as usual, but with a hint of frivolity.

"Ok?"

Miss Justice, who was thinking, looked at the other party subconsciously, and then seemed to think of something. She said after a sigh: "I understand, can I continue to contact that member? Well, what I want to say is, if I need to take the test again , can you please provide appropriate help?"

Speaking of the second half of the sentence, she looked at Mr. Fool who had not said a word.

"Just like last time."

The latter tapped his fingers on the table, promising shelter.

After another incident was solved, everyone began to share what they had seen during the week. What everyone was most concerned about was Mr. Sun, who was in the mysterious "Silver City". He had been patrolling, training, and digesting potions step by step recently, but he was killed by the team that went out. A member of the expedition team exploring the ruins of the "True Creator" came to visit him and seemed to want to persuade him to change his faith!

The Sun used the rented "Pure Black Eyes" to follow the Hanged Man's advice to lure the opponent out of control and reveal signs of mutation. He was quickly solved by the extraordinary people who secretly monitored him. In the process, Mr. Sun disguised himself as In order to achieve the state of being controlled by "Amon" and create the illusion that "Amon" and the mutation of the "True Creator" died together, it was a blessing in disguise and got rid of suspicion and surveillance.

Of course, he still followed his usual habit of falling asleep erratically to provide a cover for the weekly tarot meeting to avoid suspicion.

Everyone spoke to each other and continued to give advice to this young man who "lacked fighting experience" so that he could live well in the crisis-ridden Silver City, even Angel.

Because in the process of educating Taiyang and letting him grow, everyone can gain a great sense of accomplishment.

Until the conversation came to an end, Miss Magician, who had been silent, timidly said:

"Excuse me, does anyone sell the 'Stomach Bag of the Soul Eater' and 'Blood of the Deep Sea Marlin'?"

Angel immediately realized that this was the main ingredient for the "Master of Magic" potion. She sold the formula to this new member half a month ago. It seemed that she had searched through her network but could not find the relevant material. I can only find a solution in the Tarot meeting...

Soon, the Sun and the Hanged Man each took over the commission of one of the materials. Unfortunately, they did not have it in stock. I am afraid that this "apprentice" will not be promoted in the near future.

"Dong dong——" Seeing that the transaction was over, Mr. Fool knocked on the table to restore silence to the place, and then whispered: "This is the end of the exchange."

This time it's less than 15 minutes…

Angel was stunned when he saw everyone standing up one after another, so he had no choice but to stand up together and say goodbye to the Fool.

----

After hastily finishing the Tarot session on the gray mist, Klein quickly returned to his body and the cramped bathroom on the second floor of his home.

Although he was sure that even above the gray fog, spirituality could give certain reminders when there was danger around him, but it was not until he saw the surrounding environment clearly that he breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his whole body.

"This kind of life is too difficult...'The Apostle of Desire' is watching in secret. After reporting the case, there must be official extraordinary people monitoring it. Even the meeting can only be solved in the bathroom. If we don't want to solve this incident as soon as possible, I I won't let her get involved either…"

He was thinking wildly and pretended to press the flush button of the toilet, then pushed the door open and walked out amidst the sound of gurgling.

"If I often stay in the bathroom for too long in the future, will it cause some unfavorable rumors about me?"

A strange idea suddenly came to Klein's mind.
