Chapter 12: The 'Harlequin' Mask
Grandin picked up the list and mask, and he decided to take the commission to see what exactly was in this Mr. A's gourd. If you can't handle it yourself, report it to the church right away!
He stood up and said:
"I took the commission."
Mr. A was pleased with his attitude:
"If something strange appears on the deceased, please bring them over and I will buy them for a reasonable price."
Is this to recycle extraordinary properties?
Grandin paused as he twisted the doorknob, and replied:
"I try."
"By the way, keep it quiet, I don't want the church to notice." Mr. A finally admonished.
Grandin nodded silently and left the cubicle.
After Grandin left, Mr. A, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly had his entire ear torn and blood flowed from his mouth and nose.
He listened and muttered:
“…… Yes, my lord ......"
Outside, there were a number of people in the meeting hall, and he put everything away and hid it in his robes.
As he passed by Mr. A outside, Grandin paid special attention this time. He found this Mr. A lifeless, like a wood carving.
Is this a puppet?
At this time, a dark and slippery feeling suddenly appeared on the puppet's body, and its stiff body became more natural.
Grandin's expression froze, and he gave up probing and strode to his seat.
The abilities of the 'shepherd' are simply weird.
"The break is over, and the party continues."
Mr. A, who was sitting on the couch, spoke.
Grandin waited a little longer, then took advantage of the rest to buy the foot-binding mud and leave the secret assembly.
After going downstairs, he walked down the road for a while, his spirituality was completely released, and he pinched the 'stealing gold coin' in his hand, and after making sure that no one was following him, he boarded a railroad???.. coM
This carriage pays by stop, 2p per stop, and can carry up to 50 people.
Grandin gave the conductor 2 Soles bills, enough money to go around Queens.
He went out at 7 o'clock, but now it's 9 o'clock in the evening.
Because it was too late, there was no one in the public carriage, and this time he found a seat at the back. Then he unfolded the parchment given by Mr. A.
There is a clear hole in the parchment that has been pierced by a throwing knife. There were nine names on the list, but six have now been crossed out.
This list should be the one that the 'Serial Killer' once had, but I didn't expect it to be taken away by Mr. A in the end.
Grandin borrowed the kerosene lamp in the carriage and began to read the list.
In order to facilitate his assassination, the information on this list is quite detailed. The approximate range of activity of the target, and even the sequence pathway, are written on it.
"Coria, Bije, Remy...... Two 'secret prayers' and one 'listener'? ”
Grandin's hand holding the parchment tightened unconsciously, Mr. A, is this going to kill his relatives in righteousness? But if they are all 'terrorists', he has no worries about starting out.
"No, he said that some people gain strength without being tested...... So, these people are not the believers he developed? Is this someone meddling in Beckland without Mr. A's consent? ”
Grandin pondered twice more what he had heard during his meeting with Mr. A. and thought that it was highly likely.
He saw on the list the name of Ms. Kaya, who was in the Brick Alley Apartments, >>

The out-of-control extraordinary. According to the intelligence of her own informant, Hugh, the lady was from the port of Emmatt.
"Could the other people on this list be from the same place?"
He thought for a moment, and then got out of the carriage when the railcar arrived again.
According to the horse-drawn carriage conductor's announcement, Grandin knew that this was King's Avenue in Queens, and that he was still some distance away from his destination.
So he stopped another light carriage on the side of the road.
"Sir, where are you going?"
The driver sitting in the front compartment asked.
"West Velas Field, thank you."
Grandin handed the coachman a sule, a price that pleased the coachman so much that he even waved his horsewhip a little neatly.
He thinks that the officers of the National Police Agency will be more professional in this kind of household registration check.
Even at night, the magnificent West Villas Field is still brightly lit, with officers on duty constantly coming in and out.
Because he was going to a party, Grandin didn't bring his inspector's badge this time.
However, it was not a big problem, and he reported his ID number at the front desk. Then it didn't take long for the inspector who received the notice to arrive.
"Mr. Grandin, why are you here, ahem, I mean how are you dressed like this?"
The inspector with the national character face held the coffee cup in one hand, and his face looked more bitter than the coffee in his hand.
"Mr. Inspector, I have something I need to ask you for, is it like this......"
Grandin, still wearing the voluminous robes, ignored the Inspector's face and pulled the Inspector into his office and made his own request.
After listening to Grandin's request, the inspector's face became even more bitter:
"Mr. Grandin, it is simply not realistic to check the national register...... We haven't even counted Beckland's accounts. ”
"No, it doesn't need to be so troublesome, I think they're all from the port of Emmat, so just check there, can this be done?"
Grandin copied the names of the men on a piece of paper and handed them to him.
As soon as he heard that this matter was not in his own jurisdiction, but in the port of Enmat, the waist of the inspector with the national character face immediately straightened:
"That's no problem! Rent, water bills, gas bills, tax bills, there will always be some of them with their names on them. ”
The Inspector took the list and continued:
"I'm going to send a telegram asking the local police agency to fully cooperate with our investigation!"
"It's great." Grandin, who received an affirmative reply, smiled with satisfaction.
By the time he got home again, it was past 10 p.m., and he had disposed of the robes and masks he had worn at the party, and then picked up the extraordinary item he had gotten today.
This extraordinary item is different from the magical item he has. Because it does not have extraordinary properties in it, its stability and persistence are relatively poor, and it is useless when the item's spirituality subsides.
But it's still magical enough.
Grandin took out the leather mask and allowed his spirituality to spread to the mask, activating it.
While the cold feeling crawled all over his body, he also received a lot of information.
The first time you use it, you need to create a character template, which can store up to 3 'Harlequin' masks. As long as it's stored, it can be used next time.
The face has its own adjustment range, and the height can be adjusted up and down by 5 cm. Fat and thin can only be adjusted appropriately, and gender cannot be changed. However, the face shape can be completely changed, and Grandin thinks that it can be cross-dressed with some clothes.
For the next two hours before falling asleep, he was addicted to a game of pinching his face.
