Chapter 51: Stress

Champagne Street in the North runs north-south, with its southern end extending to the Golden Sycamore district, connecting to a wider main road.

In the first half of the night, there are very few pedestrians on the streets, and occasionally one or two horse-drawn carriages pass by.

Abis hid her figure and walked down the Champagne Street.

The coincidence happened at the intersection of Rue de Champagne and Rue Beswick.

When she was about to arrive and pass by this intersection.

"Whew!"

A slight wind sounded, and the gas lamp at the intersection suddenly rose for a moment, and a man dressed as a clown appeared from the flames and fell steadily to the ground.

"Fire Jump" ...... Sequence 7 "The Magician" ...... It's a member of the Esoteric Order!

Because Valilla showed the ability to disguise her appearance during the assassination of Sharon, Abis was already full of suspicion of the Esoteric Order, and when she saw Riggins appear, her first reaction was to control the other party and interrogate him.

Out of the cautious instinct cultivated during her time as an "Assassin", Abis did not act rashly.

She hid and watched as the tuxedo clown snuck into another house.

Abis thought for a moment and approached the street lamp at the corner of the street.

About ten minutes later.

"Whew!"

The flash of the gaslight flashes again, and the tuxedo clown reappears in the streets.

That's when Abis was waiting.

She had already taken the small portable mirror she always had in her waist bag into her hand and held it behind her back.

In this way, the withered handle, which was still a slender point, became a dagger.

The dagger, with its black flames wrapped in it, got stuck in the tuxedo clown as it landed on the ground, silently plunging into his waist.

A muffled grunt sounded, and the figure of the tuxedo clown quickly thinned out, turning into a paper figure and quickly burning to ashes.

"Paper Man Stand-in"!

Regins, who appeared across the street, couldn't help but shudder, his pale and frightened expression was covered by the thick oil paint on his face.

God knows how close he was to death just now!

Fortunately, he was already an old "magician", and the speed of launching the "Paper Man Stand-in" was several times faster than when he was first promoted, otherwise he would definitely not be able to dodge this sneak attack.

suffered such a big loss, and Rickins fought back as soon as possible.

He raised his hands and snapped his fingers one after another, and shot "air bullets" one after another.

But the flamboyant woman who sneaked up on him just jumped high lightly, avoided the first wave of "air bombs", and re-entered invisibility in mid-air.

Riggins tried blindly and hit a few more rounds of "air bombs", but apparently missed.

At this time, he felt the restraint and teasing of his body by the invisible threads.

"Witch."

That's when Riggins confirmed the attacker's pathway.

With a gesture of his hand, he borrowed a stream of flames from the gas lamp, burning the invisible silk threads around him, and wanted to open his mouth to explain.

The Esoteric Order and the Witch Cult rarely had anything to do with each other, and he had only been in Tingen for a short time, so he didn't think he had offended a witch.

"Phew!"

Before he could speak, a slender palm covered in a thin layer of frost stabbed the black flame dagger into his lower back.

As if the previous scene was repeated, Riggins's figure quickly thinned out again, turning into a paper figure and quickly burning to ashes.

"Wait!"

Rickins, who had reappeared not far away, stretched out his right palm and made a stop gesture to the witch, saying:

"Witch, I'm a member of the Esoteric Order, and I have something to say...... Ahem, ahem! ”

Before he could finish his sentence, Reggins suddenly coughed.

Feeling the faint burning sensation in his lungs, his heart shook wildly, and the pressure increased dramatically.

"Aura of Pain"!

The "Pain" Witch from Sequence 5!

How can a small place like Tingen have a Sequence 5 powerhouse?!

Before he had time to think too much, Riggins used the magician's technique to quickly take out a match and light it, thereby launching the "Flame Jump".

As soon as his figure appeared by a street lamp in the distance, it flashed again and disappeared.

After several successive "flame jumps", after several flashes of gas lights on the street, Abis followed the trail of the tuxedo clown.

There are gas lamps every 50 meters on the street, which is almost perfectly adapted to the "flame jump" of the "soothsayer" pathway, and Abis does not have the corresponding ability to move quickly, and she can't catch up with it.

She paused with some regret, but was not annoyed.

Unfortunately, the first blow that was most likely to seriously injure the opponent was avoided by the opponent with a "paper man stand-in" and failed to work.

But that doesn't mean she hasn't gained anything.

The other party's self-disclosure of the identity of a member of the Esoteric Order is one of the gains;

In addition, the other party has been infected with the "disease" she spreads, and she can use this as a clue to continue tracking.

Abis stood on the street and thought about it, but decided to track down the tuxedo clown first.

Ordinary people and extraordinary people, no matter how you look at it, extraordinary people will have more clues.

……

The next day, Tuesday, June 5th.

Newspapers such as the Tingen Morning Post and the Tingen Honest have all reported a fairly weighty piece of news.

City Councillor John Maynard, a strong contender for next year's mayoral election in Tingen, was found dead last night in a hotel room in the East End.

It is reported that the results of the preliminary examination were that Congressman Maynard died of a sudden illness.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, and this does not seem to be a big problem.

For the majority of the population, this is indeed the case; But for the Kinoca Police Agency, the situation is completely different.

Because, also last night, there was another eucalyptus case that also died of a sudden illness.

It's just that the deceased's influence is far less important than that of a senior parliamentarian, and it is not reported.

What's more, the experienced Inspector Toler saw more connections between the two at a glance -

They were all closely related to Lady Sharon's murder.

This is a continuation of Lady Sharron's eucalyptus, and it is another eucalyptus that involves extraordinary powers!

The news was delivered to the night watchman squad on rue Zotland last night, before it reached the newspaper offices.

The National Police Agency originally thought that the night watchman team that Mrs. Sharon had not been able to find the real culprit last time, but this time it was probably going to be a similar situation.

To their surprise, Dunn Smith, the leader of the Nightwatcher's team, almost immediately gave a portrait of the killer.

The explanation he gives is that this is the harvest of tracking down the murder of Mrs. Sharon.

Of course, because the danger of the target is extremely high, it is not suitable to make the wanted warrant public.

The death of Congressman Maynard can still only be concluded according to the death of illness, and at the same time, subordinate police officers are dispatched to carry out covert searches in other names such as Chavas meters, neighborhood warmth, etc.

That night, after sending off the police officers who had reported the situation, Dunn sat in the captain's office, his brow furrowed, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

This witch, just one day after she appeared, killed two people!

She is so unscrupulous, obviously very confident in her own strength.

Dunn felt a heavy pressure.

……

In the house at 6 Daffodil Street, Valilla spent the day in peace with trepidation.

During the day, she smiles and smiles, making people unable to find a trace of fault;

But when she was alone at night, melancholy crawled all over her delicate face.

Sometimes, the slightest movement of Harpy, who was on guard at the bedside, changing his position, could wake her up.

Even with the delicate maintenance and regulation of her physical condition, Valilla still inevitably began to suffer mild hair loss.

The pressure in her heart is getting bigger and bigger day by day.
