Chapter 187: Recognition
At this time, Leonard suddenly sighed and asked, "Witch?" Captain, do you mean that the lady who escaped just now is Tris? She became a woman? ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, and then suddenly realized: "I see, this can perfectly explain the sudden disappearance of the 'instigator' Tris, and it is also in line with the characteristics of the upper echelons of the witch sect that are all women. ”
"What?" Frye, the "corpse collector" on the side, blurted out in surprise, as if he didn't hear what Leonard was saying.
Crane, who was still thinking about how to reasonably tell the information obtained from the tarot meeting, was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Captain Dunn, wanting to hear what he had to say, and if there was anything incomplete, he would make excuses to add it.
It's like when you want to answer Miss Justice's question at a tarot meeting, but you are preempted by the "tower" or the "hanged man".
"According to Dai Li, after the Extraordinary Person of the Witch Path becomes Sequence 7, she will indeed become a woman." Dunn nodded in acknowledgment of Leonard's guess, then pointed to the puppets with their names written on them, "But I can't be sure if it's Terry...... Triss, after all, could be some other member of the Witch Cult doing this. ”
"Potions can do such a thing!" Frye sighed, still a little incredulous.
"Combined with the cursed person on the puppet, I think she should be right. After all, it was the three of us who sabotaged her plan to instigate Joyce's murder, and it made sense that she wanted to take revenge on us. Leonard took it for granted.
"Don't jump to conclusions without solid evidence......," Dunn criticized Leonard's frivolity before solemnly saying to Klein, "I'll leave it to you." ”
Hearing the trust in the captain's tone, Crane nodded, and after thinking for a moment, quickly arranged the ritual, and placed a dressing mirror in front of him that had been shattered by the witch's "mirror stand-in technique", and then, chanting in Hermes:
“…… I pray that this mirror will be restored for a short time, that it will show all the people who have been reflected in the past month. ”
……
As the incantation was pronounced, a faint glow floated on the mirror, followed by a human figure.
It was a young girl, with smooth black hair, a round face, and a gentle and sweet temperament.
"Sure enough, it's very similar to the 'instigator' Tris, it should be that she's right." Leonard smiled when he saw this.
Dunn also nodded solemnly, looked sideways at Crane, and said, "You try to divinate the target's current location." ”
"Okay." Crane placed the cane on the garment that Triss had not had time to destroy, and then silently recited the divination statement as he recalled the subject's facial features and corresponding information:
"Tris, no, Triss's whereabouts".
Seven times later, the silver-encrusted black cane was shaking, and instead of toppling down, it was still in place.
Divination is interfered with.
……
In the deep darkness of the night, Crane and Leonard walked almost five hundred meters before they saw the bus stop.
After waiting for a while, they returned to Iron Cross Street, one went to a nearby police station to ask for help in sealing off the dock and train station, and the other went straight to their home on Daffodil Street.
After separating from Klein, Leonard looked at the back of his colleague, made a gesture of listening, and then said to himself:
"Is it impossible to use that badly damaged mirror as a medium to present the figure so clearly?
"Klein seems to have used some tricks that have been passed down within the Bloodline?
"Sure enough, he's the same as me, the 'protagonist' who hides secrets!"
……
Back at the townhouse at 2 Daffodil Street, Klein sped to the second floor and into the bedroom.
After locking the door and sealing the room with a spiritual wall, he calmed his mood and took four counterclockwise steps, and then reappeared in the majestic palace above the gray fog in a frantic whisper.
Sitting in the high-backed chair that belonged to the Fool, Crane was ready to respond to the reliable companion recommended by Mr. "Tower" first, and let the matter enter the "examination process".
He reached out and pointed at the circle of light that kept rippling as Hugh recited his true name, as a way to make a connection.
Immediately after that, the entire mysterious space above the gray mist trembled slightly for a few seconds. When everything subsided, a vague figure appeared on the edge of the long bronze table.
Hugh opened his eyes in a heavy sleep, and saw the endless gray mist, saw an ancient high-backed chair, and saw a dark shadow looking down on him.
Crane looked at Hugh carefully, and then, as intended, cut off contact.
The petite figure with a hazy face vanished, but in the gray mist there was a cloud of crimson illusory stars.
Klein looked at this scene and frowned slightly, because he seemed to feel that the other party was inexplicably familiar.
In the face of "inexplicable familiarity", the other Sequence 9 extraordinaries may try their best to recall, or they may ignore and forget, but unlike the soothsayers, Crane directly embodied a pen and paper and wrote the following divination sentences:
"The source of the familiarity just now."
Immediately afterwards, he took the paper, leaned back, and silently recited the divination statement.
After seven times, his eyes deepened and he fell into a deep sleep.
In a fuzzy and twisted world, Crane sees a petite teenage girl shoot the "instigator" Tris, who is about to retreat into the shadows, killing her instantly.
Beside the girl was a young man dressed in an officer's uniform, wearing a tricorne hat and a pair of copper-rimmed glasses on his nose.
……
This is the scene I saw when I was divining Joyce's dream before, and it seemed to hide something terrible?
Mr. Tower's reliable friend is the girl who killed Tris in her dreams?
So, in the picture just now, the young man next to the girl ...... Could it be the "tower" himself?
It's very likely! Being able to venture together in such a magical place shows that they are close!
However, if that young man is really a "tower", then he should have done a certain disguise every time he participated in the tarot meeting? At least he never wore glasses when he came to the Grey Mist......
Hehe, the lively mind of the "tower" that I observed was indeed disguised, and he did not trust the "fool" as he appeared at first!
For some reason, Klein, who came to this conclusion, breathed a sigh of relief.
…………
Joe Wood, in a garden villa at 28 Kings Street.
After the banquet was over, he sat up for a while.
She had been worried about the hidden danger of reciting the honorific name of the "Fool", and not long after she fell asleep, she dreamed of a mysterious space, and dreamed of a gray misty figure looking at her condescendingly.
The dream was so clear, so clear that it made her feel scared again
- Originally, she felt that Abner's attitude was not dignified, but she had relaxed a lot.
Hugh got up and dressed, put on the "Ring of Judgment," and took the three-edged thorn in his hand, as if it would give her courage.
However, she still thought with a little trembling mentality:
"Is it a nightmare caused by fear, or is it an evil spirit haunted by the gaze of a hidden being?
"Will there be monsters attacking in the night?
"Hmm...... Do you want to go to Abner now? Don't wait for the ceremony, let him help simulate the 'Holy Light' directly?
"But it's so late...... It doesn't seem to be very good......"
Hugh struggled for a few seconds, looked at the sleeping Furth next to him, and thought to himself: she can still sleep so soundly, which means that she has not seen the mysterious space and the gray mist figure...... That is, only I was "watched......
Hugh breathed a sigh of relief when she thought about this, but it also strengthened her determination to go to Abner to exorcise evil spirits.
At least tonight, she can't sleep with Forth, or it might affect her.
……
In the master bedroom on the third floor, although it was close to the early hours of the morning, the gas lamp was still on.
Abner was feeling a big head at the ridicule of his friends such as Reporter Mike after the banquet, but suddenly he felt a spiritual touch, he quickly turned on his vision, and then saw an illusory monster come out of the void.
It is made entirely of white bone, with pitch-black flames flickering in its eye sockets, and is nearly four meters tall.
This is Jane's messenger, suspected to be one of the inheritances inherited from the tomb of her ancestors.
Moreover, the appearance of this messenger is very similar to the description of Mr. Azik's messenger in the original book.
The Bone Courier looked down at Abner, then took out a mirror and placed it in his hand.
Abner took the mirror suspiciously, and then heard Jane's voice coming from inside:
"Abner? This mirror can share my vision, but it can't be used for communication......
"Well, the time is just right, and a sea battle that may go down in history is about to begin."
