Chapter 144: The Beginning

It wasn't until the beautiful woman holding the flowers floated away that the man who had just finished Mr. A's party breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't dare to stay any longer, so he changed his appearance again, and circled around the surrounding neighborhood a few times, and after making sure that no one was following, he continued to flash his figure by the light of the gas lamps on both sides of the street, and walked in the direction of the Intis Embassy in the West District.

Back at the embassy, the man who had changed back to his original form was led back to his room by a waiter.

The waiter was about to retreat, but was stopped by the man. Although the waiter was a little surprised, he still asked respectfully, "Mr. Rosago, do you have anything else to order?" ”

For the first time, Mr. Rosago never spoke to the waiters.

"Give me a copy of the recent operations of Beckland's 'Punisher Squad'...... It's a trivial matter, so you don't need to alarm Mr. Ambassador, understand? As he spoke, Rosago manipulated a secret puppet who had been following him with "psychological invisibility" to exert influence on the waiter.

"Yes, sir." The waiter replied without the slightest hesitation.

"Very well, when you send the materials to me, go back to sleep, and when you wake up, you will forget what you said to me." Rosago nodded in satisfaction.

After the waiter opened the door and went out, Rosago recalled what the beautiful woman had said to him before, and thought:

"If there's a chance to get a Wind Favorer, it's worth the risk......

While thinking this, he took out some auxiliary tools from the drawer and began divination.

……

On Wednesday morning, Abner received a "normal" commission for the first time in a long time, from Mrs. Bingley, the manager of a nearby café, whose son had recently fallen in love with and socialized with the daughter of a timber merchant.

However, because the timber merchant had a large business and some disparity in the family situation, Mrs. Bingley, fearing that he was merely playing with her son, came to Abner to inquire about the girl's character.

It's not about marriage, it's just that your son is so nervous about getting a girlfriend? I'm afraid you'll have to go bankrupt in the future just for the investigation fee...... Abner complained in his heart, but on the surface he gladly accepted the commission, after all, this kind of opportunity to play without danger was rare for him.

He spent the morning sneaking into the timber merchant's house, and then extracted the scent of a strange man in the bedroom of the young lady named Erin......

Without going back, Abner could have guessed that the young lady's private life was probably rich, but in order to complete the commission, he still used extraordinary abilities to faithfully record the "scenes" he saw.

One, two, three, four...... It's amazing, there are no less than ten people in this room alone, including Mrs. Bingley's son......

Looking at it, Abner suddenly spotted a familiar face, none other than the Fursak spy, Detective Zerrell.

He frowned and turned on the "Pure White Eye" to get a more complete "backtracking scene" and hear what the detective had to say to Miss Erin.

Soon, a picture of the bed unfolded before Abner's eyes. Erin, who has a beautiful face and elegant temperament in the picture, gasped and said coquettishly to Zereel: "Great detective, I have heard some news that you care about...... What are you going to buy me as a gift? ”

Detective Zarrell, who was already a little sluggish, suddenly perked up when he heard this, and said with a smile: "My dear, I heard that the famous costume designer Mrs. Genia is selling a piece of her pride, which is said to be the same style of dress that was designed for the young lady of Earl Hall's family...... Of course, the noble lady had already worn that skirt in public once, and she wouldn't wear it again, so you don't have to worry about hitting the shirt. ”

"Great, dear. Being able to wear a dress designed by Mrs. Genia at the ball will make Serena and Anna envious! Erin happily kissed Detective Zerel before saying, "A friend of mine talked about the Difference Machine you asked about during a casual conversation...... I heard him say that at a party called Mr. A, someone had sold relevant information, but no one wanted to buy it. ”

……

Seeing this, Abner closed the "Pure White Eye", and he roughly guessed what was going on.

This was the fuse for Klein's 5-pound kill of the ambassador! But it's none of my business......

Abner shook his head, wiped away his breath, and quietly withdrew.

Next, he sorted out the information of the other men he saw in the "backtracking scene", except for Detective Rizel, and returned to the coffee shop near the office, and handed them over to his client, Mrs. Bingley.

Mrs. Bingley only glanced at it a few times, and then her hands trembled with excitement, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Very well...... Detective Brian, you're really capable, and I'm not looking for the wrong person. ”

Abner didn't care about the other party's compliment, and after getting the 2 pounds investigation fee, he felt that the "Keeper of Knowledge" potion had indeed digested a little, and couldn't help but nod secretly.

I took out my pocket watch and looked at it, it was already 3 o'clock in the afternoon, because the Macht family's estate in the northwest suburbs was on the other side of the Tasok River, if you wanted to arrive, you had to take a detour to the bridge area to cross the river, and it would take at least three hours by horse-drawn carriage, which was not very timely.

So Abner hurried back to the office and changed into his most appropriate formal suit. Then, he looked at his extraordinary belongings, and after hesitating for a moment, took everything with him except the Sword of Dawn. He has offended many people now, and it is always good to be prepared.

After arranging his outfits, Abner ordered a relatively comfortable taxi carriage and, after paying a full price of 2 soles, finally got the driver to agree to take him to the northwest suburbs.

On the way, he received a letter from the bird "Sirika". Cullen tells him in the letter that he and Judy had met with Lina the Witch in the morning, and that she had gone to her father last night to confirm the news, and that it was her eldest brother who was really harboring the witch. The news was later confirmed by Miss Sharon.

Lina gave her brother the addresses of the Golden House Zangjiao, which were in the southern, western and northwest suburbs, and the "desolates" had already set out to investigate them one by one.

"The Northwest Suburbs? What a coincidence......" Abner muttered to himself silently, slightly distracted, always having a premonition that something was going to happen.

……

On the terrace of a manor house in the northwestern suburbs, Rey set up the altar with a solemn face and a lot of bloody materials. Then, according to the dualistic ritual, she placed a candle to represent herself, and placed the pot of flowers in the corresponding position to symbolize the gods.

Taking a deep breath and a charming smile on his face again, Rey took out the items needed for the ritual one by one. After doing all this, she skillfully used the ceremonial silver dagger to guide the flow of spirituality, and circled the "altar" to create invisible, sealed walls.

Then, she stretched out her right hand and lit the candle that symbolized herself with spiritual rubbing.

In the flickering and dim light, Rey picked up a vial, the liquid in which was similar to the perfume Abner had found at Dr. Leonardo's house. She carefully unscrewed the cap and dropped a drop into the candle flame.

After a moment's time, the illusory fog spreads, with a slight eerie of a blood-colored moon.

Rey couldn't help but take a step back and chant in Ancient Hermes:

"The one-of-a-kind Red Moon, a symbol of life and beauty, the mother of all spiritual forces."

"I pray that you will give me the power to interfere with divination and to counter divination."

……

After chanting the incantation, Rey closed his eyes and repeated it seven times in his mind. Seeing that there was nothing abnormal on the altar, she took out the silver pocket watch she was carrying, looked at the time, and then the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and said to herself: "It's almost ......"

……

Underneath the Cathedral of the Holy Winds, Captain Kuhn of the "Substitute Punisher" team and Robert "The Wind Favorer" retrieved a humanoid puppet the size of a palm from the storage room with powerful sealing powers.
