Chapter 112: Stalking and Fierce Battle (5/7)
Joe Wood District, Leletton Ave.
Abner turned his head to look at the taxi carriage that passed him, and at the slightly familiar figure sitting in the carriage, and couldn't help but squint his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked up into a smile.
Yes, the delicate girl who looked like a woman disguised as a man at Alex and was unsuccessful was Abner who wore a "clown mask" and went out with an ordinary woman's face.
The reason why he chose to change his face for this commissioned mission was because Roman's fiancé, Alex, recognized him. The news about him has been so hot in the past few days, if he shows his true face and is recognized by Alex, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the other party, which is not conducive to the follow-up investigation.
And the reason why they met on the road so coincidentally was because ......
"The lucky effect of this gold coin blessing is really very powerful."
Abner muttered to himself, played with the Solomon Empire gold coin that had been wiped out of his blood, and put it back in his pocket.
He asks Judy and Susan about Alex's address and the places he frequents before he heads out to investigate. Fearing that he would not be able to meet him, Abner blessed himself with the gold coins of the Solomonic Empire.
Who would have thought that he had just left the office and entered the Jowood district, and he happened to pass by Alex's carriage, and "extracted" a wisp of his breath the moment he recognized the other party as Roman's fiancé.
"Alex has become extraordinary? It seems that he should have just been promoted not long ago, and he still lacks knowledge of common sense in some extraordinary fields, otherwise he wouldn't have even reacted if I extracted his breath in person like this......
"Was it the potion given to him by his suspected lover? Well, I heard that Alex is really fond of occult knowledge, and Roman joins Coughsti's club because he wants to cater to his hobby.
"So that his so-called lover must be an extraordinary person...... He's still an extraordinary person who can give potion recipes at hand......"
Thinking of this, Abner did not immediately catch up with the carriage, but took off his mask and returned to the office, using the ritual to make a batch of short-effect charms and put them on his body, and then carried the case containing the "Sword of Dawn" on his back, and only then secretly put on the mask again after leaving the office, and stopped a rental carriage.
The coachman looked at Abner's clothes and the face of the mask, pretended not to see that it was a "lady", and asked, "Sir, where are you going?" ”
Abner boarded the carriage, sat down and said to the coachman:
"Follow my instructions and go to the end of this street first."
"Okay." The coachman didn't ask why.
In the carriage, Abner took out the gold coin of the Solomon Empire and began divination.
As an extraordinary person in the "reader" sequence, he was not too good at divination, but he held the breath extracted from Alex in his hand, and besides, the gold coins of the Solomon Empire itself also had a bonus effect on the effect of divination, and he wore the "clown mask" of the soothsayer sequence, and these factors were superimposed, so that his divination effect at this moment would not be much worse than that of the soothsayer in sequence 9.
"The whereabouts of the owner of this breath in my hand."
After a few silent recitations, Abner tossed the coin and let it fall freely. I saw that this two-colored gold Solomon coin spun in mid-air for a few weeks, and then it actually fell upright and landed on the seat of the carriage.
"Go straight!" Seeing that the carriage was just at the end of the street, Abner hurriedly gave the coachman a command.
The front side represents a left turn, the back side represents a right turn, and the erection is naturally a straight line.
As he went, Abner kept the driver in his direction, and finally arrived at a house facing the street in St. George's district, and as he walked around, he noticed a factory and a warehouse behind it, apparently the façade of a factory.
The coin was tossed again, and it spun on the ground, refusing to fall or stand upright......
Seeing this, Abner knew that the person he was looking for should be in the factory, so he paid the driver 4 soles and jumped out of the carriage with the case on his back.
Instead of stopping at the main entrance, where security guards were stationed, Abner walked along the factory wall to the corner.
He looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he took out an oil paint pen from his pocket and drew a boxy door frame on the wall.
Then, Abner turned on the "Pure White Eye" to simulate the "apprentice's" ability to "open the door", and walked directly into the factory area through the painted door frame.
After entering the factory, Abner simulated the "stealth" ability to hide his body, and at the same time constantly "extracted" and "backtracked", looking for the whereabouts of Alex.
Since Roman's fiancé may have really just become an extraordinary man and lacked the necessary common sense, he left too many traces, and soon he was caught by the "tail" by Abner and followed outside a dilapidated warehouse.
……
On the other hand, after getting the potion from the fat pharmacist, Alex took a horse-drawn carriage directly to the factory area of his own factory, and soon walked into an old warehouse on the southeast side of the factory.
Although the sun was still shining outside, the inside of the warehouse was extremely dim because of the poor lighting, and Alex lit the gas lamp that had been prepared for a long time, and he could barely see things clearly.
"Ma'am, I've got the potion back." Alex shouted a few times, but there was still no movement in the warehouse. Just when he was a little impatient and wanted to shout loudly again, a crisp female voice sounded behind him:
"Silence! I'm checking to see if you've been marked by someone else. ”
Hearing this, Alex turned his head happily, and sure enough, he saw a beautiful girl with a pure appearance holding a ring to him, and the blue gem on the ring emitted a few rays of light that swept over his body.
"No problem...... It doesn't seem like anyone is paying attention to you. The girl breathed a sigh of relief, then took the glass vial from Alex's hand, examined it a little, and then opened the lid and drank it down.
Alex wanted to stop it, but before he could say anything, he saw the girl drink the potion, so he had to persuade tactfully: "Madam, that folk herb shop is not compliant at first glance, you should go to a more formal hospital to have a look." ”
The young girl could guess his thoughts, so she shook her head and said with a smile: "Although the pharmacist in the folk herb shop looks unreliable, his ability is still very good...... It's just that I don't know how to speak human words. ”
"Don't speak very well? Also, he is a mute, so naturally he can't speak human words...... I didn't expect you to make such a joke, ma'am. Alex said in surprise.
"Dumb? You can't go to the wrong store, right? This time it was the young girl's turn to be taken aback, and she hurried to ask Alex about his previous experience.
After Alex had recounted all the details of the herb shop, the young girl said to herself thoughtfully, "It seems that someone who can't stand him has finally made him dumb......"
As if seeing that the girl was in a good mood today, not as cold as before, Alex seized the opportunity to ask, "Madam, look, I have completed the task you assigned, can you give me the potion recipe for 'Sequence 8'?" ”
The young girl looked at him with a smile and said, "You've only been drinking the 'Fortune Teller' potion for two days, aren't you?" You haven't even mastered meditation yet, and you're thinking about the next potion recipe? Hehe, I can tell you clearly, with your current state to promote to sequence 8, 100% will get out of control and become a monster. ”
Alex was a little frustrated when he heard this, and complained casually: "I wasn't in such a hurry, but the ability of this 'soothsayer' sequence is too far from my vision of the extraordinary...... I have neither the ability to fight head-on, nor the tricky means, so I can only turn on my spiritual vision to see the so-called 'spirits', and at most I have spiritual sensing when others look at me......"
"Wait!" Before Alex could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the young lady, her face was no longer as relaxed as before, and she asked Alex with a serious face, "What do you mean by 'you have a spiritual sense when others look at you'?" When did this happen? ”
Alex was frightened by the girl's momentum, but he couldn't help but be attracted by her face, and under the double feeling of fear and excitement, he stumbled and said, "It's on the way back...... The ...... that happened when I made eye contact with an oncoming girl"
"Idiot...... That's a spiritual warning, you're being targeted by her! As she spoke, the young girl quietly put a cold-looking claw on her hand.
"Warning? But I don't feel in danger......" Alex said confusedly.
But by this time, the young girl had no heart to deal with him, because she noticed that there were uninvited guests in the warehouse.
"Neither the rune traps nor the vigilance rituals I set were touched...... Only the 'sense of smell' brought by this 'Ice Claw' vaguely made me smell strangers...... Someone who is an expert in ritual magic? ”
Thinking of this, the girl's innocent eyes were dyed with a layer of darkness, and more than a dozen black flames swirled around her. She decided to strike first and force the future people to come out, otherwise when the other party calmly arranged the ceremony in the dark, she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to escape.
Alex on the side was a little stunned, and envy rose to his heart, because such a scene was the extraordinary person in his dreams!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Black flames shot like bullets into the dark corners of the warehouse.
Most of the black flames fell on the goods in the warehouse, but they did not burn, because this black flame could only affect living or spiritual things.
However, when a black flame shot into a corner on the left hand side, a figure appeared out of thin air, and in the blink of an eye, the figure approached the young girl in the blink of an eye under the impetus of a gust of wind from nowhere.
The figure raised a great sword and slashed down at the girl's head.
