Chapter 189: State of Events
Valilla left the bar with a large glass of Southwell beer and took a sip on her way to the billiard room.
The bitter taste is stronger than I think.
She frowned slightly, and drank a few more big sips in succession, only then did she regain the refreshing feeling in her memory.
Pushing open the wooden door of the chess and card room, she shouted to the two people who were playing inside with the face and identity of the bounty hunter Lexa:
"Caspers."
Seeing that it was an old acquaintance who greeted him, Caspars put down his club, made a few gestures to his opponent, and then limped to the door, closed the door, and asked:
"You're here for the 'old man'?"
Valera shook her head slightly confusedly.
"He was looking for you last week, so he must have gotten into some kind of trouble," Caspers explained slightly, adding, "and someone is looking for him now." ”
As soon as Caspars said this, Valilla understood completely...... Yin Eun is looking for himself in order to find the missing Detective Zerrell, and now he is either the Zmange Party or MI9.
If nothing else, the "Secret Puppet Master" Luo Sago has probably gotten clues and information from Crane at this time, and he will be able to find Yin Eun hiding near the Red Brick Lane in the East District in the middle of the night.
Although she knew the general development of things, Valera still asked casually, "What is his current situation?" ”
"I heard that someone got a bounty today, I should have seen him." Speaking of this, Caspers's tone changed, "But this kid is very slippery, it is estimated that he is hiding, there should be no problem." ”
"I hope so." Valilla couldn't say much, so she could only echo one sentence.
According to the description of the original book, although the process was a little tortuous, Yin Eun did not have any problems in the end, and finally got out of the center of the incident with all his beards and tails; Caspars, on the other hand, would soon be retaliated against by the indulgent members of the "Rose School" for misestimating the dangers of the otherworld.
When the time comes, remind him that it should be avoided...... Valera thought.
After a brief pause, Caspars changed the subject and asked:
"What's the matter with you this time?"
"It's nothing," Valera shook her head, "it's just been a long time since I've been active, come over and ask about the situation." ”
This is a common behavior among bounty hunters, and Caspars does not suspect it.
He thought about it for a moment, and said in a relaxed tone:
"No one is looking for you now, at least not what I know.
"Aside from the 'Phantom Black Queen' a while ago and the recent 'Serial Killer', there's not much else worth talking about.
"Hey, it's a coincidence that these two things have something to do with that aspect, do you think it could have been done by one person?"
Hearing such groundless speculation, Valera was secretly speechless.
"I don't know, it doesn't feel like it."
She didn't have much to say about herself, and after replying in passing, she asked the question she really cared about:
"Have you had any good commissions lately?"
"Looking for something to do?" Caspars subconsciously shook his head, "I'm afraid there is no such thing as the kind of big thing you like." ”
He apparently took the workers' march as a bounty that Valilla had received out of nowhere, and the rest of his work here was indeed a petty affair.
"Wait a minute, there's something you might be interested in."
Caspars, who was shaking his head, suddenly had a light in his eyes and remembered a person:
"Someone is looking for a strong bodyguard, Marić refuses, if you have an idea, come early tomorrow night."
That's the answer Valera wants.
She made a detour to greet Caspers, in order to ascertain how Crane was doing as soon as possible—
If there is no deviation, you can rest assured as soon as possible, and if there is a deviation, you can find a way to correct it as soon as possible.
"In that case, I'll go meet Marić first, and we'll talk later."
Valera looked like "I'm going to Marić to learn more about the situation before making a decision", and after Caspars agreed, she turned and walked to the Marić's exclusive chess and card room.
……
"Good evening."
Upon entering, Valilla raised her hand to erase the disguise of the "Stealing Appearance" ability and greeted Marić, who was sitting at the card table.
"Sit down." Marić, whose face was far paler than usual, nodded.
"It's a little late," Valeera smiled apologetically and sat down across from Marić, "the situation in Beckland hasn't been good lately, and it's not very convenient to go out. ”
She was referring to the impact of serial killings.
As the number of victims steadily and regularly increases, and public opinion increases, the official extraordinaries will inevitably pursue them in the shadows.
Correspondingly, the activities of the wild extraordinary will naturally shrink with it-
For example, she didn't dare to rush by stealth this time, but chose to rent a carriage.
"That's a good thing."
With Sharon's distinctive, non-undulating voice, her figure silently appeared in the empty seat next to her.
Marić followed along to help explain:
"What Sharon means is that in a situation like this, it is not convenient for the members of the indulgent faction to hunt us down, and we can use this time to prepare more."
"The time to hunt the 'ghosts' is almost now." Sharon added.
It seems that things haven't changed much, and I don't always have to have a nanny mentality...... Valera nodded and took the initiative to ask:
"What do you need me to do?"
Valeera's question was actually just her most appropriate response, not the most authentic response.
She had to hide what she knew.
"Not yet."
Marić shook his head, clenched his hands resting on the table, and said:
"What we need is your combat power, you just need to be able to help in the final key battle, and you don't have to participate in the preliminary preparations, we have more suitable people in this regard.
"When the situation becomes clearer, we will discuss it with you."
By the end of those words, he already had a feeling of gnashing his teeth, apparently trying to resist the curse of the sequence that was gradually approaching the peak.
"We're going to hunt that 'ghost' successfully." Valeera's tone was solemn.
As she spoke, she reached out and wiped it in front of her eyes, opening up the "Gray Vision", and then establishing a "connection" between Marić and a living corpse, helping him mitigate the effects of the curse.
Under the strong crimson light, the chess and card room was much quieter, except for the heavy breathing of Marić's suppressed pain.
It took a few minutes for him to let out a long sigh of relief and get through the hardest pass.
After Marić waved his hand, Valilla interrupted the "connection".
At the same time, she secretly set a goal in her heart -
In the battle with the Indulgents in the near future, it was important to make sure that the "Resentful" trait did not contain too much spiritual pollution.
