Chapter 139: Murder on a Rainy Night
Late at night, the sky was covered with clouds and thunder.
When the stars and moonlight were gone, all that was left of the city was the dim street lamps.
The light rain that began in the early morning did not disappear, but became heavier, and layers of dense rain covered the city, and the rain filled every corner.
Right in the upper town, under the streetlights on the streets.
There was a figure in a heavy raincoat sitting on a bench, as calm as a stone. Layers of rain fell from his body, dripping into the pools of water, making a tinkling sound.
It was as if he had melted into the whole darkness, and as the rain curtain twisted, it became more and more inconspicuous. Perhaps only the faint white breath coming out from under the hood could prove that he was still breathing.
I don't know how long it took, Bai Xi came back with an umbrella and threw a bulging leather bag into his arms:
"No, what you want, I found several shops to get so much. β
Ye Qingxuan reached into the leather bag, grabbed two handfuls, felt the rough texture of the sand, nodded with satisfaction, pulled out his hand, and washed it in the rain.
And so, a little bit of silver light fell from the fingertips in the splash of rain, and poured into the sewer with the flow of water.
"How long do you have to wait?"
Bai Xi felt a little troublesome.
"Wait until midnight, exactly twelve hours. β
Ye Qingxuan said lightly: "The professor's aura extracted from the corpse can only be maintained for so long, after this time, it will be invalid, the professor will disappear into the darkness again, and the council will no longer be able to find his trace."
If the House can bear it, then we have no problem waiting. β
"It's still an hour over. β
"It's only an hour. β
Ye Qingxuan responded lightly, and his shoulders under the raincoat shook:
"βHere it is. β
He heard the sound of carriages in the distance, and late at night, a carriage without any signs drove out of the back door of a villa and galloped down the street.
"Don't look up. Look at your feet. The apocalyptic musician's sensibilities are so keen that he doesn't even think about it. β
Ye Qingxuan lowered his head and looked at the water pool under his feet, the vague influence was faintly reflected in the water pool, and a pitch-black carriage was from far and near, and the wheels ran over the rain. There was a big splash and galloped away.
At the moment of passing by, in the heavy rain, a vague line of water silently stuck to the carriage of the carriage, and the extremely subtle melody and faint aether fluctuations were covered by the overwhelming sound of rain and water vapor, and no one noticed.
Seeing the carriage go away, Ye Qingxuan got up and stretched out his hand to Bai Xi:
"Let's go, let's follow. β-
In the carriage. Claude felt a little uneasy inexplicably.
He sat upright in the carriage, shielded from the heavy sound of rain outside the carriage by a superior soundproofing layer, and he lowered his head and closed his eyes in contemplation.
In his heart, a starry sky looms, and the stars move, as if reflecting fate. In the communication with the ether, he was faintly uneasy. But it is impossible to say where this faint uneasiness comes from.
He subconsciously rubbed the bone flute in his palm, and the bone flute was heavy in his hand. Like gold and iron. Although it looks like it is made of bone, it feels similar to some extremely hard steel, and when it falls into the hand, the coldness spreads, and the slight chaos in the heart lake is smoothed out and clear.
His whole body entered a state of tranquility that was extremely quiet and could burst out with all his strength at any time. The slightly wrinkled expression also disappeared.
"It's really enviable, this is a famous artifact based on the drawings left by the legendary craftsman a hundred years ago, the 'Silver Maiden' in the Twelve Zodiac Paths.
The most suitable musician for the Apocalypse faction, as long as he has a silver maiden in his hand, he can be in the most perfect state of preparation at any time. Able to dispel mental distractions and influences, without fear or panic...... With him, Mr. Claude, your ability can skyrocket by at least fifty percent, right?"
In the carriage, a faint voice sounded, Claude frowned slightly, opened his eyes, and right in front of him, the phantom of a robin was suspended.
"The School of Revelation itself is not good at fighting, and as agreed, I have found the Professor's trace for you. But why should I even join the action?"
Claude snorted dissatisfiedly, "Can't you even find your men who do the rough work?"
"When it comes to professors, you have to be cautious. Besides, the origin of that guy is very mysterious, and if he is not careful, I am afraid that he will be allowed to escape again. It will be even more difficult to find him. β
Robin said lightly: "You are the most suitable candidate, the professor's best is illusion and psychic factions, with your astral eyes can see through illusions and drive away influences, he is not afraid." β
"Okay, I'm only responsible for assisting and observing, and I'll never approach the scene, and if I fail, I'll turn around and leave. Don't try to make me die for you. β
"This is nature, the life of a musician is precious, and naturally it cannot be compared to a killer. Besides, you've become a royal musician and have a great future. β
Robin glanced at the bone flute in his hand and said lightly: "However, the silver maiden itself is a precious musical instrument that is unique in ten thousand, and the drawings and materials are expensive, and we have paid so much, you must always ensure that you are worth the money." β
"I will. β
Claude bowed his head and closed his eyes again in meditation, and before he began, he wanted to make sure that he was in the best possible state.
The robin bowed his head in satisfaction, and the phantom dissipated-
Five minutes later, the carriage stopped.
The car door opened, and an emaciated shadow opened the umbrella, and it was a pale-faced woman, she was wearing a black robe, covering her wonderful body, but the beautiful curves made people can't help but linger:
"Mr. Claude, we've been waiting for you for a long time. β
She ushered Claude into an empty room, where flames burned in oil drums on the ground, acting as the only source of light.
Just beside the firelight, a burly figure with sharp corners caught Claude's gaze, and he looked at the tattoo of scripture on the old man's face, and the ring on his finger, a geared skeleton, which looked rough and blurry, and had been aged.
"Chainsaw Brothers?"
He muttered under his breath, and the old man glanced up at him. Nodding slowly, he pointed to his throat. On his throat, a trail of rust remained, with a strange outline. It was as if something was implanted in his flesh and blood, and he couldn't make a sound.
Claude remembered something, and his eyes were shocked. I stopped looking at his throat and subconsciously moved away from him.
He glanced at the silent white-faced woman beside him: "It's just the two of you?"
"And me. β
A hoarse voice came from the corner, and his body suddenly froze: as a revelation musician who specializes in insight and exploration, there are very few things in this world that can hide his perception, not to mention that he awakened his heart when he broke through the barrier of perception and resonated with the world, claiming to see through the power of any ordinary illusion - the eye of the stars!
But in this cramped room, he didn't even notice that there was another person.
In the shadow of the corners. A man sitting cross-legged opened his mouth and smiled at him, a smile that was unwarm and hideous.
Like a snake, the corners of his mouth opened all the way to his ears, and two slender tongues were faintly revealed from the cracked mouth, swallowing like the core of a snake.
"You smell good. β
The man muttered to himself. The beastly pupils stared at Claude so hard that he couldn't help but gasp.
"Shhh
- Black musician!
And only black musicians will do it for power. Breaking the musician's oath, he exchanged forbidden knowledge from the evil god and transformed his body into a demon.
"Are you...... Green teeth?" Claude recognized his face, a cold sweat oozing from the back of his neck.
Bluetooth, Yellowfoot, and Red-Eyed, these three brothers are the most wanted black musicians since a decade ago, and are best known for the disappearance of people in the city of Dea.
Half a year after they left that city. The tax collector in charge of collecting taxes only discovered the multi-level white bones in the basement.
It is said that the forensic doctors at the city hall alone pieced together more than 70 skeletons, and over the years, the number of missing people in the entire city has been several times that number.
In order to complete their own transformation experiments, the three brothers brazenly used civilians as experimental materials, and finally completed the last part of alienation. Became a dependant of an evil god.
It's just that Claude didn't expect that he was really bold enough to secretly enter Avalon.
He took a breath of cold air, "Avalon's Musicians' Guild is monitoring the entire city's enchantment at all times, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
"Don't worry. β
Greentooth shook his head: "Isn't there a swaggering guy here lately?" Since the robin said that you are fine, then, when you do it, I will leave it to you to cover." β
Claude's hand shook and he forced himself to look away.
In the sight of the Eye of the Stars, this guy is wrapped in blood and resentment that is so thick that it can't be dissolved, if it weren't for something blocking the sense of the enchantment, I'm afraid that getting even closer to the edge of Avalon would cause an alarm, right?
He finally knew why Mockingbird insisted on letting himself be here...... Just to let him cover up for this damn guy!
Otherwise, as soon as he makes a move, it will not only be an enchantment, but even the garrison army will be alarmed!
"It's not early, we have to finish it before midnight, otherwise if we delay until then, we won't be able to get out. β
The white-faced woman looked at Claude.
Claude forcibly ignored the chewing eyeballs in the mouth of the green tooth, and regained his composure with the silver maid in his hand. With the melody of the bone flute like a howling wind, the aether changes, building a spiritual connection for several people.
He played a silent melody, his body trembling slightly, and his face turned pale after a blush, as if he had lost too much blood.
But his eyes seemed to light up, reflecting the brilliant starry sky behind the gloomy sky, vast and majestic.
-- Heart sounds!
The eyes of the stars were awakened, and in front of those pupils, the physical obstacle was nothing more than tissue paper, and the walls could only blur the visual distance, and all colors were completely gone, turning into black and white.
In its place was the brilliant glow of the ether.
That strange vision was shared by the telepathic connection with the other three, and Green Tooth whistled, and a hint of salivation flashed in his eyes:
The Aether Eye of the Revelation faction is really a convenient ability, I wonder if it is still useful if I take it off and replace it for myself?
The professor is hiding in the Rod Laver Church in this neighborhood. β
Claude waved his hand, allowing the aether to form a reflection in front of him that overlooked the block, magnified and finally fixed on the church, and as the silver light changed, the layers of alarm enchantments were faintly revealed.
Even in his hiding place, the professor did not let his guard down.
"I'll help you block the Avalon Barrier, but be careful, it's only half an hour, and at midnight, the Avalon Barrier will start re-searching all the neighborhoods, and if you are found by then, there's nothing I can do to help. β
Claude said lightly, "With the assistance of the Eye of the Aether, most of the alarms are not a threat and can be easily infiltrated.
I'll crack the professor's illusions and psychic interference, so you just have to do it......"
The white-faced woman bowed her head and walked into the rain with the old man and disappeared into the darkness.
The figure of the green tooth squirmed and disappeared in the stinking wind.
Claude sat in the empty room, intently shielding them from the scan of the enchantment.
Everything went according to plan, but for some reason, his heart became more and more uneasy-
On this night of the storm, a shadow stood silently on the roof in the distance, staring at their figure towards the church.
A burst of lightning lit up in the clouds, bringing a terrible white light. In a fleeting moment, his black pupils illuminated.
The vengeful spirit, Sherlock Holmes, appears. (To be continued......)
