Chapter 194: Meeting at Night

Alger had said at the last tarot meeting that he could find the "horn of the glittering black snake", but he didn't expect this gentleman to be quite efficient, and he had already successfully started it on Thursday.

Abner received the message from Mr. "Fool" before dinner, and then held a ceremony to "receive the gift" and received the material.

Hugh looked at the black sharp corners in front of him that seemed to have an electric current faintly flashing, pursed his lips, but did not refuse, but asked after putting it away, "How much did it cost?" ”

Abner knew Hugh's temperament, and did not pretend to be generous, nor did he take the opportunity to increase the price, but replied sincerely: "700 gold pounds." ”

Speaking of which, Abner did not hold another "sacrifice" ceremony to send the money to Alger, but deducted the bounty of "Laugher" Longman and part of the quotation of the "Wind Favorer" formula, after all, the cost of holding the ceremony is not low, and it can be saved.

"I'll raise enough money for you as soon as possible." Hugh nodded, seriously.

"Don't be in such a hurry...... Abner shook his head with a smile and asked casually, "How are you 'sheriff' digesting?" ”

Hugh thought for a moment and replied, "It should be digested in another four or five days." ”

"So fast?" Abner was somewhat surprised, remembering that Hugh had become a "sheriff" in East Chester County, and had been for a month at most......

Hugh is so, Jane is so, only Edith is more normal......

"After learning about the acting, I have been actively maintaining order in the East Side, and I have successfully stopped many crimes that I have identified, so I have received a lot of feedback."

It turns out that the core of the role of the 'sheriff' is to actively eliminate what he considers to be disruptive behavior?

Abner nodded thoughtfully.

Afterwards, Hugh recounted what he had seen at Mr. A's party, and finally said, "Prepare me a room, I will stay with you to-day." ”

"What?"

"It's too late, the subway is already out of service."

……

Tingen, Daffodil Straße 2.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Klein and his siblings exchanged goodnight and returned to their bedroom.

He sealed the room with his spirit, then walked four steps backwards to the ancient palace above the gray mist.

Sitting in the place belonging to the "Fool", Crane spiritually touched a star entwined with a little golden light, which was the crimson star that symbolized Hugh.

Before, when he helped the "Hanging Man" to give the "horn of the glittering black snake" to the "tower", he saw the golden light shining on it, knew that this was the "tower" and held an exorcism ceremony for the girl named Hugh, and strengthened the "passage" again, but at that time he didn't have time to look closely, so he could only wait for the dead of night to watch the "video" back and forth.

He then watched the petite lady leave a palatial garden villa after an exorcism ritual and go to the East End of Beckland to deal with the disputes of ordinary people, track down the "perpetrators" who had broken her order, and in just one afternoon, she succeeded in stopping a potentially vicious crime and saving the lives of both families......

The "video" goes all the way to Queens to meet up with a friend and then wait together for a young lady named Audrey to attend an extraordinary party.

But just before Hugh is about to arrive at his target building in Queens, the scene comes to an abrupt end.

It's broken again...... Crane sighed helplessly, then tapped his fingers on the edge of the old long table, and thought seriously:

"Judging from this 'video', Miss Hugh is a person with a great sense of justice and a very principled behavior! No wonder Mr. 'Tower' trusts her so much and calls her a 'reliable' person...... It seems that it is not just because of their close relationship.

"In addition, Miss Hugh has a very wide network of contacts in the eastern and docklands of Beckland, and is deeply trusted by the people in her 'jurisdiction', whether it is an ordinary worker or a gangster, as long as she is not the kind of person who is extremely vicious, and is willing to let her arbitrate when she encounters difficult matters......

"In the end, although this 'video' is not shown, it is likely that this young lady has an official background, otherwise many of her slightly outrageous behaviors may have provoked police interference.

"Well, abide by principles, be kind, have a low sequence, and have their own circle of intelligence and resources...... Overall, this young lady is indeed a good candidate for a member of the Tarot Society......

"Once I've advanced to Sequence 8, I might as well consider pulling her into the gray fog...... Provided, of course, that she herself would like to. ”

Thinking of this, Klein wrote a new divination statement on the parchment that appeared:

"Miss Hugh joining the Tarot Club is a danger to me."

Placing the pen, he untied the pendulum wrapped around his wrist and held it firmly with his left hand, allowing the citrine pendant to hang from the parchment.

After meditating seven times, his eyes deepened, and the pendulum in his hand began to rotate slightly, counterclockwise.

The answer is no, no......

Crane nodded, and then he realized that it was late, and hurried out of the palace on the gray mist, "back" to his bedroom.

He lifted the spiritual blockade, then stood in front of his desk, and looked out of the convex window by the light of the gas lamp, at this time, the neighborhood was dark, only a few street lamps were guiding the way, and the stars in the sky were embedded in the black curtain, little by little, not clear.

"Beckland, formerly known as the 'Land of Hope' and the 'Capital of All Cities', is also like that...... I thought it was only Tingen that had a lower street...... From Miss Hugh's point of view, you can see that the people in some parts of Beckland's eastern district are worse than the streets of Tingen! Crane whispered silently, reaching out to grasp the curtain, ready to pull.

Woo!

At that moment, a cold wind blew through without warning, and the window of his bedroom opened on its own.

Crane subconsciously took a few steps back, instinctively tapped his left tooth twice, and at the same time, he jerked towards the head of the bed, trying to grab the pistol pressed under the pillow.

But at this moment, a slender lady suddenly jumped in from the window with the help of a special spirit, she wore blue eyeshadow and blush, showing a strange beauty.

It was Ms. Daly whom Klein had only met at Blackthorn Security this afternoon.

"Don't be so enthusiastic, I can't stand your bullets." Ms. Dai Li looked at the muzzle of the black hole and said with a smile.

"Ms. Dali?" Why do you come to me in the middle of the night? Crane asked, dumbfounded. However, he did not let his guard down, because it was also possible that someone else was pretending to be Dali.

"It's me...... I know that such a visit is too crude, and I should give you some hints to prepare you thoroughly...... However, I was actually improvised, and I had no choice but to do so. Ms. Daly replied with a smile.

Although it still feels incredible, it is indeed Ms. Dali's style of speaking...... Klein secretly sneered, and asked without lowering his gun:

"Ma'am, what are you coming to me for?"

"If I were you, I would seal the bedroom with spirituality first, otherwise, your family will see me in your bedroom at this time, and I'm afraid there will be some misunderstanding." Dali glanced in the direction of the door and quipped with a smile,
