Chapter 53: Tracking and Q&A

After Varina left the room, Miss Sharon, dressed in a long black court dress and a small black floppy hat, was completely visible from the convex belly window.

She asked in a tone that didn't fluctuate, "What kind of ability is that?" ”

"It's a psychic realm of connectivity," Marić said as he sat back on the couch, frowning.

"It feels a bit like the way we manipulate living corpses or ghosts, the kind we use in reverse...... Or maybe it's more like the kind of heart-to-heart connection between a demigod hunter and a comrade-in-arms......"

"It separates half of my thoughts and desires from the connected living corpse, and greatly reduces the difficulty of me suppressing myself."

Sharon held her chin in her hand, thought for a moment and said, "The 'Devil' has similar abilities. ”

"The Devil"? Marić was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted that the "devil" can indeed affect the target's ability to think, and manipulating desires is also the "devil's" forte.

He asked a little nervously, "Is it dangerous?" ”

"Probably not," Sharon said through the wall, leaving a phrase "I'll go and observe him." After that, he left the bar directly.

……

After leaving the Valorant's Bar, Varina made his way to White Rum Street and checked a mark on a crack in the wall somewhere next to the street restaurant.

This is where he and Hugh agreed to meet.

Varina discovers that the mark he left in the afternoon has been redacted, indicating that Hugh has received information that he will meet him at the Shure Shooting Club tomorrow morning.

There were two main reasons for him to meet him this time.

The first is to pay the honorarium for helping to solve the missing person commission last time.

He met Detective Zerrell at the shooting club in the morning, and received from him a gratuity of £42. In other words, his cousin Reyes, after receiving the result, gave a total remuneration of 70 pounds.

Another thing he wanted to ask Hugh to help keep an eye on the Dead Eels and Squirrels.

He wants to confirm the news of the two gang bosses, Kent and Eugene, with Kent concerned with his lost memories and Eugene as the target of his assassination mission.

If Kent can be found, he will be ready to go to him and interrogate him about the events of that day; And if Eugene returns to Beckland, he will have to complete the commission before the deadline.

After Varina confirmed the marker and left, Sharon appeared at the crack in the wall and observed the mark for a moment.

Eventually, Sharon couldn't decipher any of the simplicity and had to follow Varina back to his quarters.

While resting in Varina, Sharon searched several of the surrounding rooms to make sure that they were rented by ordinary people, and when she returned to Varina's room, she saw him studying Hermes.

According to the book, while copying the text to be learned, he practiced pronunciation through the pronunciation marked in the rune on the book, and continued many times, and when he had an impression, he changed to the next text.

Varina's original plan was to be on the safe side, slowly reaching out to Marić and Miss Sharon, deepening the relationship little by little, and using them as a helping hand that she might need in the future.

But the amnesia event changes all that, and he has to take the risk of skipping the foreshadowing and instead seeking a way to restrain his madness and suppressed desires from the temperance tradition.

This is the best way he can think of to fight his heart.

Varina knew that the extraordinaries of the "criminal" path would lose their humanity little by little, turning into alien beings like demons and demons, and he feared that he would become like that.

This is absolutely unacceptable to him, and it is an option that is far more unacceptable than becoming a woman!

So he went to the showdown.

Of course, before that, he had already envisioned some possible directions of development and thought a little about how to deal with them.

Sharon's follow-up investigation was one of the developments he envisioned.

He couldn't be sure, but he didn't need to, as long as he prepared according to the premise that she would come.

He had considered that except for not allowing her to discover that she knew Russelwin, everything else could be exposed, so it didn't matter what special preparations there were.

……

The next day.

In the morning, Varina met Hugh at the shooting club.

After some conversation, Hugh accepted the commission to spy on the movements of the two gangs, and Varina handed her the honorarium this time, along with the previous one, a total of 45 pounds.

During their conversation, Sharon learns that last night's contact mark was agreed upon by the two of them, and a suspicion is dispelled.

In the afternoon, Varina stayed at her residence to study and rest.

In the evening, Varina heads out to the Bar of the Brave.

Sharon hurried back to the bar before him and discussed with Marić what to do.

Marić was secretly relieved to see Sharon reappear on the glass of the convex belly window.

Fortunately, it seems that the young man is not a conspiracy of the Rose School.

"Did you find anything?" He asked.

Sharon shook her head lightly and said, "He should be under the control of some witch right now. ”

This was her judgment from the box of communication paste that Qili had left behind.

It was a method of communication that only witches would use, and Varina apparently hadn't used it once.

Marić naturally came up with a reasonable assumption: "So, he's trying to use us to get out of control?" ”

"It's possible." Sharon nodded slightly.

Marić thought for a moment and said:

"With our current situation, it's best not to provoke the Witch Sect, or let's reject him."

"His ability to help me relieve the pressure, obviously not too long for us to take the risk."

Sharon closed her eyes slightly, looking to the spirit world for answers.

A moment later, she opened her eyes, and was about to speak when there was a knock on the door from Varina.

"Promise him." Sharon's figure vanished as she spoke.

Varina pushed the door open and said hello, "Good evening, Mr. Marić." ”

"Well, you came on time," Marić's expression became serious, "I have a few more questions to ask before answering your request." ”

Varina's heart fluttered...... didn't directly refuse, that is, there was a play.

"Excuse me, I'll do my best to answer." Varina's attitude was sincere.

Marić held out a finger, "First question, why do you want to learn the philosophy of temperance?" ”

This question cannot be told the truth, but it certainly cannot be said nonsense.

You must know that "resentful spirits" are sequences that can be divined by instinct, and it is really easy to judge the truth of the answer.

Varina thought for a moment and replied:

"I tried playing the 'assassin', but I didn't want to cultivate a demon in my heart."

This sentence actually revealed a lot of information, but Marić simply nodded, because it was not particularly important to him.

He then held out a second finger and asked:

"Do you want to use me to deal with the witch who controls you and help you regain your freedom?"

"Nope."

"Or maybe I didn't think about it," Varina explained, "and I want to be free, but I haven't thought about going over to deal with my otherworldly leader. ”

Marić picked up the wine glass on the table, put it back after a moment, and said:

"On the 11th of the next month, the day before the night of the full moon, come back to me with 600 pounds."

"You can go back."
