A dozen pounds of cash, a vial of essential oil, a small packet of herbal powder, two crudely cut paper figures, a strange orange piece of paper, and a completely black eye without a child's hole—

That's all the relics left behind by the attackers who call themselves Rosago.

They were collected and placed on a bloodstained coffee table, and a short distance from the ground lay the body of Rosago with a broken head.

"This is our common spoils of war, one person picks some, you first." Crane said to the bodyguard lady beside him.

Sharon glanced sideways at him, didn't say anything, and floated over to take the orange paper, which was a magical item corresponding to Sequence 6 "The Notary".

Her choice didn't go beyond Crane's expectations.

After Sharon, Crane pulled out the iron cigarette case and filled the all-black eye inside.

It is an extraordinary trait of Sequence 5 "Master of Secret Puppets", and its value is much higher than that "notarial deed...... Well, provided it's not tainted by the True Creator.

Crane thought that he was still far from Sequence 5 anyway, and that he might be able to find a way to get rid of the contamination in the meantime, so that he could use the "Dark Eye" as the main ingredient for potions.

With a few less important items left, Sharon took the materials and left the cash on the coffee table.

Instead of reaching for it, Crane took out his wallet, neatly placed the 400 pounds bill he had just taken in the afternoon on the coffee table, next to the dozen pounds in cash, and said:

"Miss Sharon, this is my due.

"£400 may not be enough, but I only have so much for now, and I would like you to give me a few days to raise money."

"That's enough." Sharon looked at Crane in a sparse and flat tone.

With that, instead of taking the wad of bills, she came to Rosago's side half-drifting, crouched down, and lay down on the corpse.

She slowly sank in, becoming one with the corpse.

The fingers of Rosago's corpse flicked twice, and the blood, brains, and fragments around it flowed backwards, converging a head around his neck again.

A head covered with countless vertical and horizontal cracks, like glass that was cracked but not immediately shattered, there was rare blood and brains flowing inside, and the bullet head of the rare hand reflected light.

Crane couldn't help but take a step back, thinking that this could be the top horror figure of all ghost stories.

It was only then that he realized that Miss Bodyguard was cleaning up the scene, and her means were unparalleled professional.

In the living room, which was clean and there was no trace of blood, Rosago's body crawled up, picked up the policeman's soft hat, half-covered his face, and walked calmly to the door.

Crane stared blankly, and it wasn't until Rosago's body opened the door to the house that he remembered to say a few words.

"Don't ride in a horse-drawn carriage, don't walk where the street lights are bright." After a pause, he added, "When you come back, go to the Lyss police station, Sheriff Fassin's house, or around Minsk Street to look for Rosago's original clothes."

"I know."

The voice of the reply was neither like Rosago nor Sharon, but a strange sound that bordered on rust.

……

After seeing the bodyguard lady leave with Rosago's body, Crane walked back to the clean and tidy living room, and saw the cash on the coffee table, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart-

Miss Sharon is a very principled and extraordinary.

If it were him...... That must have been the first to put away such a large amount of honorarium, of course, this did not prevent him from dutifully finishing the commission like Miss Sharon.

Once seated on the couch, Crane began to rethink the treacherous battle that had lasted no more than a minute.

The ability of the "Secret Puppet Master" is really weird and powerful!

If it weren't for the "Filthy Words" charm, Miss Bodyguard might have escaped, but he would have died completely, and might not even have a chance to be resurrected.

Call.

Crane let out a long sigh, and the fear gradually dissipated, replaced by a deep sense of joy—

In addition to the "Eyes of All-Black", he also relied on the mysterious space above the gray mist to channel Rosago and obtain the potion recipes for Sequence 6 "Faceling" and Sequence 5 "Puppet Master"!

This is a gain that the bodyguard lady doesn't even know.

After a short while, Crane suddenly realized that Rosago's death at his place didn't mean that the protection around Ambassador Baker was weak tonight.

Will "Mr. A" take this opportunity to assassinate?

Thinking of this, Crane pulled out a coin and flicked it high as he whispered the divination phrase, "Beck Lang is dead."

Zheng!

The coin of the 1 pence denomination tumbled and leaped, and fell again, falling into his palm, head up.

That's for sure!

Is Beckron dead? It worked out over there, too? This matter is finally, finally over...... Crane was overjoyed, and his mood relaxed a lot.

Without Rosago's interference, he believed that the result was correct!

……

After waiting for nearly half an hour, Crane suddenly saw the figure of the bodyguard lady appearing on the bay belly window.

The next moment she floated out to the coffee table and picked up the 400 pounds of honorarium.

"It's all over?" Crane subconsciously asked.

Sharon nodded lightly and didn't speak.

Call...... Crane breathed a sigh of relief, completely relieved, and said:

"Thank you for your protection, this is the end of this matter."

Sharon nodded again, still silent.

She flashed back to the glass of the convex window, bent down, lifted the hem of her skirt and saluted, and then her figure quickly disappeared.

Are you gone...... Crane looked around, and of course he couldn't see Miss Bodyguard.

However, he still waited a little longer, and finally took out the "all-black eye" left by Rosago, and examined it with the vision of the "master puppeteer" in the face of an illusory roar......

Miss Sharon has indeed left.

Peal pedal, pedal, pedal.

Crane immediately put down the newspaper in his hand, returned to the bedroom, moved the chair to the mirror, and then took out the paper bag that Valera had given him, and carefully smeared the "communication paste" inside to the mirror.

Soon, the mirror became dark.

With a ripple of water, Valeera's figure appeared in the mirror.

Unlike the long skirts during the day, she wore a light blue loose two-section pajamas at night, which looked different.

"Why did you contact me so late?"

Crane saw Valilla pick up a wooden comb and comb her smooth black hair in front of her, and couldn't help but swallow it, and then replied:

"I've been attacked tonight."

——————

Let's talk about the plot differences related to "Azk Bronze Whistle":

Before Tingen, Crane had a "Yang Flame Charm" that was almost equivalent to it.

After Bakeland, Meursault raided the related debris, which could be brought to the Grey Mist using the "Sacrificial Ritual" instead; Master Psychic Luo, as long as he believes that Crane can bring his spirit to the gray mist without relying on the bronze whistle to strengthen his spirit, the problem will be solved.

(During the Tingen period, Crane tried to carry other charms directly, but because the spirituality of the spell was not enough, he didn't succeed, Master Luo is in sequence 5, and the spirituality is always stronger than the charm...... ）

If you do not agree with this statement, the following IF line can be referred to:

Crane failed to get the recipe from Master Psychic Luo, so he could only be promoted to Sequence 7, and Sequence 6's disguise ability could be supplemented with the "Lost Mask";

The main material of Sequence 6 is bought, except for "Naga of the Deep Sea", it is available as needed, and as long as the protagonist buys the hair at the same time, and gives it to Crane after the big haze, it basically does not affect his promotion.

("None" in Little Hunger.)

The "noodle man" is also ready for promotion, and the formula must be there. ）

I thought about it for a long time, but I decided to save some trouble.

I'm having enough bugs right now.
