Chapter 475: Secret Arrangement

Beckland, West Street on the West End and Bridge South.

A member of the "substitute punisher" team took McConaughey and Stewart around the corner of a house and briefly reported: "I followed Erin here and saw her 'wipe off' her body ......"

Due to the shame brought to the "Substitute Punisher" by the "Witch of Pain" incident a few months ago, every member of the team now has some understanding of the witch's abilities, so it is judged that Erin has become a "witch".

Stewart nodded when he heard this, then expanded the "scene backtrack", and frowned after a while: "No, there are few clues and breath left, and the content of the 'backtrack' is very vague, and it is impossible to judge where she went." ”

Then, he tried five or six more "secret techniques", but the results were not satisfactory, and he could only shake his head at McConaughey.

"What then?" McConaughey frowned at first, but suddenly saw Stewart gritting his teeth, as if he had made a decision, and immediately thought of something, his voice was slightly out of shape, and his expression was a little distorted, "Do you still want to use that technique?" ”

"Do you have any other way?" Stewart said as he took various materials and a small mirror from his pocket and began to set up the "ritual".

McConaughey looked at the team members around him, and lowered his voice, "At least we have to change to a place with fewer people......

"Don't think about it...... Because of the use of it so often, the secret technique I developed could no longer bypass the rules of '2-111'...... So, no matter who you or I ask, we will definitely need to be watched......" Stewart sighed as he placed the mirror from the altar.

"That'...... I'm coming this time? As McConaughey spoke, he thought about what he didn't want to be known about.

"Forget it...... Shall I do it...... You're the captain, don't let this prestige be ruined......" Stewart said with a pat on the shoulder.

"How can you be sure that I must have 'black material' that will be exposed?" While McConaughey breathed a sigh of relief, he was a little unconvinced.

Stewart glanced at him, and only replied lightly, "Why don't you ask?" McConaughey shut up.

After the ritual was ready, Stewart recited the incantation of "Secret Art" to the curious or horrified gazes of the surrounding team members:

"The executioner who holds the thunder, the notary who makes the contract, the magic mirror that opens the omniscient eye, the humble servant of the great master, Arodes......

"I pray that your strength will come upon this mirror;

"I pray that your knowledge will bring me answers to my questions......"

He then spiritually lit the paper on which the question had been written, causing the dust to dissipate on the altar.

Soon, images began to appear in the mirrors placed on the altar, clearly showing the route that Erin had traveled all the way.

Finally, the scene stops in front of a three-story house on Rheinster Straße in the south area of the bridge.

Stewart looked at the scene in the mirror, his expression changed slightly, because it was very close to his rented house, and only a wall away from Mrs. Philina, who had moved down the street with Kuhn's help.

Speaking of which, Filina's space house has also been rented out in the past few days, and it seems that there are still two ladies who rent it...... However, because he is busy, he rarely goes home in the past week, so he has not visited the house yet.

Just as Stewart's thoughts were wandering, the picture in the mirror quietly faded, replaced by a blood-colored line of Rune:

"That night, when you imitated Kuhn's voice and shouted the name 'Mrs. Philina,' was it because you thought she was really beautiful, or because she had a temperament like your first love?"

Worried that he would not be able to see clearly in the dark night, the mirror also intimately projected the text onto the outer walls of nearby buildings......

McConaughey looked at the question dumbfounded, deeply feeling that it didn't matter if Stewart didn't answer, just looking at the strange expressions of the substitutes around him, he knew that Stewart's reputation was about to end...... Kuhn, in particular, heard that the lady was still the one he helped to settle......

In this regard, McConaughey, while rejoicing, felt pity for Stewart and felt that he deserved it......

And Stewart, who was standing in front of the altar, finally figured out one thing at this time:

That is, his secret technique may never have been able to bypass the rules of "2-111", and the "absurd" things he was instructed to do before were not only the "sweetness" given by the other party, but also the "black material" mastered by Arodes, waiting for the right opportunity to "publicly execute" him......

Even if he was able to successfully "parse" the "descriptive sentence" of Arodes, and then develop the "secret technique", it was all within the calculation of that mirror...... If it's not good, it's deliberately revealed!

What a stubborn seal!

Fortunately, it is still "fair", and the information given is correct.

Thinking of this, Stewart closed his eyes and replied, "Both." ”

"Correct." When this line of writing appeared in the mirror, it suddenly shattered and scattered fragments on the ground.

Seeing this, McConaughey asked, "The previous ceremony, it seems that there is no such situation...... What happened? ”

Stewart was silent for a few seconds, then replied with a complicated complication:

"It's with me...... Enough of it. ”

……

Ten minutes later, the figure of the "Master of the Secret Puppet" Tan De appeared at the corner of the house where the punishers had stayed, and he muttered for a few seconds, holding his staff upright on the ground and allowing it to tilt naturally.

"Divination", one of the means used by "soothsayers" to find people.

After determining the direction, Tande's figure disappeared again, appearing next to the light of the street lamp on another street.

……

In a small two-story building on Rheinster Street, Shawko, dressed in a neutral dress, brought the prepared dinner to the table, and then went upstairs to call Lina down for dinner.

Speaking of which, although Xiao Ke has only learned to cook for a long time, his level is unexpectedly good, and he occasionally has a flash of inspiration, and he "thinks" a certain cooking method, and then experiments, and the taste is often very good.

Lina even teased him for being favored by the "evil god of food", of course, this was just a joke, and she herself didn't believe that any evil god would give him a recipe for food.

But today, Lina's state is obviously not right, even if the food in her mouth is delicious, she still frowns.

"Is something wrong?" Shawco asked worriedly.

"......No," Lina said, shaking her head, "but I'm a little uneasy...... I always feel like what's going to happen......"

Speaking of this, she seemed to have guessed something, suddenly stood up, and said to Xiao Ke seriously: "You hide out first, the farther away the better!" Come back tomorrow morning! ”

……

Inside a room with a thick soft carpet.

The facial features were like carvings, but Ince Zangwill, who was blind in one eye, took the quill pen he held and wrote:

Due to the exposed address, Shoko helped Lina rent a house on Rheinster Street, but what he didn't know was that next door to the house was the secret stronghold of the Aurora Society, and not far from it was the rented house of Stewart, the 'arcane master' of the Storm Church...... This is a reasonable development.

After receiving the oracle, Mr. A was too excited and gave the wrong order, so that Erin, who was already under the supervision of the substitute, came to the stronghold on Rheinster Street, and was then found out by Stewart and others.

"In order to recover the lost extraordinary characteristics of the 'Secret Puppet Master', Tan De of the Esoteric Order followed behind the substitute punishment, wanting to wait for the two sides to fight, and then subdue everyone and get back the traits belonging to the Esoteric Order.

"Lina's rented house was too close to the Aurora Society's stronghold, and it was affected by the battle......

At this point, Ince Zangwill stopped writing and said in his heart: Witch, although you can resist the arrangement of "fate", you can't let the people around you do the same...... And the arcane mentor who sabotaged my plans a few times...... Let's wrap it up this time!

He pondered for a while before he resumed writing......

……

Bridge South District, Yuejihua Street.

Dressed in a double-breasted long gown, Klein took off his half-height silk top hat and walked slowly into the rather small Harvest Chapel.

As soon as he stepped into the quiet prayer room, he saw Father Utrawski like a giant, Emlyn White in a brown clergyman's robe, and Miss Hazel with long dark green wavy hair and dark brown eyes.

At this moment, the red-eyed vampire took over Hazel's previous work, and was wiping the candlestick, looking numb as if his heart was dead.

Klein first greeted the bishop and exchanged a few words with Emlyn before asking Miss Hazel, "I wonder what commission you want to come to me, Miss?" ”

Hazel did not answer immediately, but led him to a secluded corner, and after making sure that the pesky vampire had not eavesdropped, he hesitated:

"Detective Moriarty, are you familiar with 'scams'?"
