() Crane didn't want to believe a word about the witch's words, but it was a fact that the other party had saved Kornley for whatever purpose, so he was reluctant to take the initiative to attack until he showed hostility.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the captain was hit by Lady Sharon's dying curse and passed out temporarily, leaving him alone in the combat power of the night watchman on the scene.

I was on guard for about a minute, and I don't know what extraordinary means Lina used to make Mrs. Sharon's "Witch of Pleasure" characteristics come out in advance.

She looked calm, but in fact, she carefully sealed the extraordinary characteristics, and then she stood up and said to Crane with a smile: "This night watchman is next, I should go...... We're destined to see you again. ”

With that, she disappeared in front of Klein, and then quickly climbed out of the window, over the wall, and headed toward the Tasok River.

Although he saw her leave, Klein still didn't dare to be careless, and while holding a gun on guard, he untied the silver chain on the cuff with one hand, allowing the citrine pendant to fall naturally.

Carefully swapping the positions of the revolver and the pendulum, Crane waited until the shaking of the citrine was stable, and immediately half-closed his eyes, entered a meditative state, and silently recited the divination statement:

"Lina has left the house."

……

Seven times later, he opened his eyes and saw the pendant turning clockwise.

"Really gone...... Klein put his heart back in place, and with a pendulum, he walked over to Kornley's side and checked his injuries.

Previously, he took advantage of Lina's entry into the battle and the captain's time before he came, and quietly used the "Summoning Holy Light" and "Pacification" on the "Fallen Morning Star" to treat Kornley once, otherwise he would have been killed by the evil spirit in "3-0271" even if he was not hit by Lady Sharon's "Black Flame".

Although he suffered a lot of mental trauma, he was finally freed from the mark of evil spirits...... It shouldn't be a big problem...... When the "peep man" who had been transferred to Tingen arrived, he could find a way to design the ritual and slowly recuperate for Kornley.

Because Kornley was not in danger of his life, and the captain could wake up at any time, Klein did not plan to use the "Fallen Morning Star" again, so as not to make it difficult to explain.

After a moment's hesitation, he came to Mrs. Sharron, who was only half a head left, took out all kinds of materials, quickly set up the altar, and began to channel.

It's been delayed for a while, and if you wait for the captain to wake up and then channel, I'm afraid there won't be anything.

Moments later, after watching a large bed-based documentary in a dream called "Mrs. Sharon Introduces You to the Upper Circle of Tingen", Klein opened his eyes.

Through dream channeling, he learned a lot of things, such as the death of Councilman Maynard and the current mayor's driving force...... Another example is the potion recipe for part of the sequence of the Witch Path.

But a new question arises as a result. That is, Mrs. Sharon's motives for killing Congressman Maynard were too hasty and did not seem to be in line with her usual code of conduct.

Just as he was falling into thought, the captain Dunn suddenly sat up straight, opened his eyes, he first looked around with sharp eyes, and only after seeing the situation clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief, pressed his hand on his eyebrows, and his expression was a little pale.

Obviously not injured, but he seems to have lost too much blood.

"Captain, are you alright?" Klein saw him wake up, and his face was overjoyed.

"Nothing...... Lady Sharon's final curse wasn't actually fully completed, and she didn't have a medium to curse me in her hands, so it wasn't very powerful...... Well, at most, disturb my spirit, and when I have Mass on the weekend, I will be able to heal my wounds completely by the gift of the goddess. ”

Speaking of this, Dunn stood up, stepped forward slowly, walked to Klein's side, and said in an unusually low voice:

"It was my mistake that I was deceived by Mrs. Sharon, but I didn't expect her to have quietly escaped from the dream...... If it weren't for another witch to stir up the trouble, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to keep her ......."

If it weren't for the fact that I had something special, Kornley and I would have confessed at the same time for more than ten seconds after the battle began...... Klein glanced sideways at Kornley, who was lying quietly on the ground, and exhaled:

"Captain, Kornli ......"

"I know......" Dunn replied in a hoarse voice, "but you have to get used to it, it's normal for a night watchman to die on a mission, and maybe I'll be next." ”

"No, Captain...... I mean, Kornley isn't dead...... It was Lina who saved him. Although Klein was very wary of Lina, the other party saved Kornley anyway, so he didn't want the other party to be wanted by the night watchman, so he bluntly stated her contribution.

Dunn was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then a gentle and relaxed smile appeared on his pale face, and said, "Is that so?" That's great! ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but draw a crimson moon on his chest, and at the same time said, "Goddess bless!" ”

Klein could understand the captain's feelings, just thinking that if Kornley did die tonight, he would face his family afterwards, and see the grief-stricken eyes of the other party's parents and the soulless performance of his fiancée...... I felt a sense of fear from the bottom of my heart...... I'm afraid to hear that sob!

At this moment, he actually agreed with Lina's words that were obviously excuses, but he should change it:

There should be no sad episodes in the life stories of the Guardians!

Dunn was so happy that he subconsciously wanted to pull out the cigarette case and smoke a cigarette, but he immediately remembered that he hadn't carried the cigarette with him for a while, so he gave up. But at this time, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked, "Lina?" Do you know that 'witch'? ”

Captain, are your brain circuits too long, or are the symptoms of forgetfulness getting worse? I thought the argument I had just prepared would not be useful.

After complaining a few words in his heart, Crane told Dunn what he knew about Lina, and finally added: "Most of this was told to me by Ms. Dali during the last casual conversation, and you were there at the time." ”

Dunn thought seriously for a while, and then suddenly nodded: "In this way, it seems that Councillor Maynard's wife and sister were able to find us, and it was also instigated by this Lady Lina...... Her purpose is extraordinary...... It was the remnants of Mrs. Sharon's precipitation. ”

Captain, I already know what extraordinary characteristics are, and I didn't shy away from them when I came to the Sword of the Goddess to concoct the "Joker" potion...... You don't have to be so careful.

After a few words, Klein told Dunn all the gains of the psychic without concealment, and then expressed his doubts about Mrs. Sharon's murder of Councillor Maynard.

"'Pleasure' really doesn't need to kill people of higher status and status...... Well, we'll have to find out where Mrs. Sharon has been over the years to find out where she really came from...... Of course, this needs to be reported to the church, and they will arrange it together, and we cannot leave Tingen at will. Dunn bowed his head slightly, deliberately omitting to mention "Lina" when he spoke of reporting to the Templars......

Then, he looked around and said, "You take care of the items at the scene, and then go to the nearest police station to find someone, well, by the way, go back to Zotland Street, and let Frye help." ”

"Yes, Captain."

……

Outside a village in the lower reaches of the Tasok River, a wet figure emerged from the river and disappeared in an instant, like a water ghost in folklore, so that the drunken man who happened to see this scene immediately woke up and ran back to the village in a panic.

This figure was none other than Lina, who stared at the drunken man's back at this time, and only after a while did she sigh and say to herself, "Forget it...... He didn't see my face...... And even if you say it, no one will believe it...... Killing him could attract attention. ”

Then, she made her way to a hill southeast of the village.

Because wildlife is almost extinct, there is a hunter's hut that has been abandoned for many years in the middle of the mountain, and it is a safe house that Lina has prepared in advance.

After entering the hut, Lina quickly took off her soaked clothes, took advantage of the moonlight to change into a men's hunting suit hidden here, and then sat down, and while taking out the prepared food, she thought solemnly:

"The 'Fallen Morning Star' is actually on the night watchman of the 'soothsayer' path...... Didn't I ask Shoko to pass it over to Detective Bryan? How did you come to Tingen? Was it Detective Bryan who sold the necklace to the Night Watchman?

"What if...... If I hadn't handed over the Fallen Morning Star, I probably brought it to Tingen by now, right?

"I had heard of Mrs. Sharron's style at a party in Beckland, and was it really my own judgment to infer that she might be the 'Witch of Pleasure'? Or is there someone behind it......

"Is the purpose of the people behind the scenes just to get the 'Fallen Morning Star' to Tingen?

"No...... It's not that simple, I'm afraid something big will happen in Tingen......

"I happened to be the teacher of Councillor Maynard's sister, and Mrs. Sharon recklessly killed Councillor Maynard......

"Encouraging Mrs. Maynard to hire the official Extraordinaire team happened to meet a member of the Nightwatch with the 'Fallen Morning Star'......

"It's a bit too much of a coincidence...... I hadn't even been paying attention to it before!

"No, we need to get out of here as soon as possible! The farther away the better! ”

With a decision in her mind, Lina rested for a few hours, and when it was dawn, she immediately got up and hurried to the town where there was a steam train station nearby.

……

On the outskirts of Tingen, in a house with a red chimney.

The middle-aged man with dark blonde hair and one eye looked at the latest content that the quill had written on his own:

"The 'witch' Lina sensed the hidden danger of Tingen after receiving her extraordinary trait and decided to leave the city."

He groaned for a moment, without adding or modifying it. This "witch" is also very eccentric, she has made a change in the story she wrote before, and it is one less variable to be able to leave.

However, there are still too many variables in Tingen!

The middle-aged man glanced at the words "Klein Moretti", his face became ugly, he turned the note forward again, clicked the name of the word "Stewart" with his hand, and then muttered to himself as he walked around the room:

"We can't delay any longer, the 'Secret Master' of the Storm Church may come over to investigate next Monday, if he is allowed to have an accident halfway, I'm afraid it will be difficult to push it on again, he must suspect that there is interference, and then lock me and '0-08'......

"So, Sunday...... Before Mass, it's time to act! ”

At this point, as if he had made up his mind, he stopped, returned to the table, picked up his quill, and wrote in his notebook:

"Leonard and Klein discovered the letter left behind by Lanrius during a search."

"Megooss was inexplicably summoned to Zotland Street and entered the Black Thorn Security Company, where the baby in her womb was in a critical period and failed to stop her impulse."

"Dunn made a detailed arrangement, the right arrangement, but he did one thing wrong, if he made up his mind to deal with Megaoos immediately, then it would be better to bring the other party behind the Chanis Gate, and fight with the advantage of the environment and items, if he intends to wait for helpers, then he must not take out the ashes of Saint Selena."

"It's a pity that due to the recent successive curses and pollution, the trance-stricken Dunn was in a hurry to think of the crucial point that the heir of the god could sense the threat of the Sage's ashes, so the latter was stimulated and began to desperately absorb the power of the mother, trying to be born early, even if it was not really mature."

At this point, the man remembered the history faculty member who had sabotaged his arrangement several times, and added:

"Azik is not in Rune, even if he recalls the 'Spirit Shuttle', it will be difficult to rush back in a short time."

After re-examining what he had written, the middle-aged man put the notes and quill in his pocket and turned to walk out the door.

……

Early on Sunday morning, after breakfast, Abner was about to enter the "learning space" when he was suddenly stopped by Mr. Scudder when he was stopped by Mr. Scudder and had a telegram in his hand.

"Bishop Utravsky looking for me? Let me go to the Harvest Church......"
