“…… What do you want to do? ”

The brass-haired lady lifted her hand little by little, and slowly stepped back, distancing herself from Estra who was holding the revolver.

Esther raised her chin in the direction of leaving the bush:

"Wait until you're gone, ma'am, I've already said it."

The lady glanced at the revolver in Esther's hand very unwillingly: "My gun ......"

"It's not necessary. We don't know each other, so how can we return it. ”

Esther's fingers pressed against the hammer, which made the lady who had been thinking about it a fluke give up on other ideas.

She leaned down to pick up the beads on the ground, and walked out quickly, quickly out of the back of the house, not even bothering to leave the direction of her back to Esther.

A strange and hidden force was exerted on Esther's body, and she glanced at the gun in her hand and realized that she had lost the desire to attack the lady.

Esther shook her head, "By imposing extraordinary abilities on my things?" It's really distressing that one or two of them are so shrewd, is it only the 'hunter' way to make stupid people? ”*

Daniz counted one, and the red-haired lady who was targeted was half counted, and they all felt very useful.

A few points of light fell from Esther's hair, briefly outlining a round wheel in the nearby air before collapsing.

Instead of taking the harvested revolver, she shoved it under the bush and left the place as well.

Esther did not erase the occult traces of the revolver itself, and if the lady returned to find the gun herself, she would not be able to find the contact with Esther, who had been severed.

But if the man came back to search the scene and found the revolver, he would eventually track down the lady and have nothing to do with Esther.

On the way back to the hotel, Esther did not run into the group of "substitutes" again, nor was she interested in finding out what they were doing on the island, so she found a restaurant and ate a random scone with mushrooms and fruits, and soon went back to the hotel where she was staying.

As Esther walked into the hotel, the owner of the front desk looked at her suspiciously, for he had no impression of the lady staying there.

Esther grabbed it, and in the trance of the boss's lost memory, she leisurely walked up the stairs and returned to her room.

Sitting on the edge of the bed until three o'clock in the afternoon, a familiar light once again enveloped Esther's eyes.

——

"Mr. 'Fool', good afternoon~"

"Justice" rang out in a brisk voice, and Crane smiled and responded to her with a smile under the gray mist.

Klein decided to communicate with "Lovers" through "World" today, and gave Esther the badge with the symbols "Fate" and "Concealment".

After receiving a reply from Mr. Azik two days ago, Klein had confirmed that the organization that belonged to the "Thieves" path did indeed exist, and was said to have originated from the remnants of the "Thieves" family in the Quaternary Period, calling themselves "Hermits of Destiny".

Although both the Jacob family and the Zoroasrid family lost news after the "War of the Four Emperors", judging from the utility of this badge, the circulation of this path has been transferred from the open side to the underground, leaving only the secret inheritance.

After learning this information, Klein suspected that they were also trying to avoid the "blasphemer" Amon based on the situation Esther had described and his own experience.

The abilities of the "parasite" are too strange that even extraordinary people in the same path have to be extremely vigilant.

The "thief" who parasitized Leonard went to a meeting, and if Esther wanted to seek the extraordinary characteristics of the "parasite", this channel was the most suitable for her.

The badge itself is harmless, and attending the party has a definite benefit to Esther, the danger is very low, and the divination results of the pendulum method give Klein enough answers before he has such a plan.

However, Klein also checked in advance, the next time for this "thief" party is at nine o'clock in the evening on June 6th, and it is only January, and there is still a lot of time, so Esther does not need to rush at all.

At this tarot meeting, only "The Magician" and "Moon" each handed in two pages of Russell's diary, and after seeing the "Magician" asking for contributions, "Moon" naturally chose to follow her.

Since several transactions had just been reached at the last tarot meeting, this time the transaction was not so eager, only the little "sun" asked for the fruit of the glorious spirit tree, and the "world" asked for the eyes of the six-winged gargoyle, and the others had no new needs for the time being.

When the "Hanged Man" suddenly asked to communicate with Esther alone, she was still at a loss for a moment.

"Miss 'Lover', the bounty issued by the church has reached my hand, and I will sacrifice three thousand gold pounds to Mr. 'Fool' after the Tarot meeting ends today."

Esther immediately sat up straight: "Okay, but I probably won't be able to hold the prayer ceremony until tomorrow, can I ask Mr. 'Fool'?" ”

The "Fool" nodded leisurely, indicating that it didn't matter.

But the "Hanged Man" did not intend to end this exchange directly: "Miss 'Lover', I would like to ask if you know about the situation of 'Flame'?" He's in big trouble this time. ”

Although Esther once helped Klein write a stack of "little commercials", she really didn't know what happened afterward: "Daniz? What happened to him? ”

Hearing Esther's answer, the "Hanged Man" had a little doubt in his heart: "You're not in Byam now?" ”

"No, I took the last ferry to Simim yesterday and haven't returned to Byam yet." Esther didn't feel anything inconvenient to say, and she didn't have a head worth more than four thousand gold pounds.

"I see, you're really lucky." The "Hanged Man" pondered for two seconds, but still reminded the "lover", "The official and church are conducting a search for suspicious people in Baiam, investigating the source of the madness that may have caused the 'Poseidon' Kavituva, and the risk of recent activities in Baiam will be higher." ”

Esther nodded immediately: "Thank you for your advice, it's just ...... I'm not going to hide it from you, my friend is still there, and I'll have to go back and meet him. ”

"Okay, then take care of yourselves." The "Hanged Man" still doesn't know the scope of application of the "lover's" ability, and since she has made up her mind, he has nothing to say.

It's a pity that the "lover" doesn't know the specific situation, and he can't find out more insiders, but the friend of the "lover" may be with "Flame"?

Thinking of this, the "hanging man" glanced at the "world" at the end of the table before turning back to the "fool": "I have no other questions, thank you." ”

At the same time, Esther also greeted the "fools" who provided the opportunity to communicate individually: "Thank you very much. ”

In the exchange session afterwards, "Justice" shared some of Beckland's follow-up treatment of the "Great Smog Incident", including the fact that the Church of the Night Goddess has set up several additional new churches in the East End for some reason, and many nobles have participated in fundraising.

"Magician" has just been promoted these days and doesn't know much about the changes in the outside world, but "Moon" has attached information from the side, according to which many civilians are still slightly infected, and the plague that has been circulating among cities has not yet completely ended.

But everything seemed to be getting better, but Esther's heart was still a little empty when she heard the final count of more than 3,000 dead or even missing.

Forget it, she just did her best and never expected to save everyone...... But there are still some resentments entrenched in the bottom of her heart, which makes Esther's hatred for the "witch" even deeper.

The news provided by the "Sun" was even more distant, saying that the "chief" of Silver City had led a team of explorers and the little boy Jack to find a way to the seaside.

The "Hanged Man" and the "Lover" are very tacitly silent about Byam's affairs, but for different reasons, the "Hanged Man" is out of concern about the future, and the "Lover" is due to incomplete knowledge of this information.

The "world" is as silent as ever, except that after everyone else has spoken, it asks the "fool" for a chance to communicate with the "lover" alone.

The hoarse voice of "World" came from under the cloak, and the aura on his body was still so eerie: "If you are still seeking news of the extraordinary properties of the 'Parasite', I have a clue here. ”

Because of her excitement, Esther subconsciously leaned forward and stared in the direction of the "world": "Mr. 'World' is very efficient, what kind of news is it?" Do I need to pay gold pounds? ”

"No, because I don't know what's going on inside the 'stealer' organization. If you can get involved, I'd love for you to get some information out there. ”

"The organization of the 'thieves'? It seems like only I can try it, and it's all at my own risk, right? ”

The World chuckled gloomily twice, "You too can seek the protection of Mr. 'Fool'." ”

This is something I didn't expect, isn't the "world" the real client, but the "fool" Mr. is also interested in that organization? Esther suppressed the urge to turn her head toward the bronze table.

There is no need to look at Mr. Fool's face, which is covered in gray mist.

There are risks, but there are also opportunities in them, and Esther sees this very clearly.

After weighing a few seconds, she nodded at the "world": "I can promise this mission, but I'm at sea right now." ”

"Don't worry," the voice of the "world" lowered again, "According to my inquiry, their next meeting will be in June, and I will need time to get the other party's voucher to participate in the meeting." ”

Of course, Esther was not suspicious, after all, this commission was originally from the "world", and of course it was up to him to decide.

And Klein, who controls the "world" to carry out this conversation, goes around in such a big circle, and also wants to delay the process of this matter for a while, and then hand over the badge to Esther in two weeks, so as to create a reasonable mission for the "world" to act outside.

In this way, from Esther's point of view, there will be a further information gap between the identity of "the world" and "Gelman", and the greater the gap between them, the less likely it is for Esther to doubt Klein's identity in the real world.

His fellow countryman plays the role of a god here...... It must have been an incredible thing for Esther.

Crane raised his hand and announced to the Tarot congregation:

"That's all for today."

"Do as you will, Mr. Fool."

Led by Justice, everyone stood up and saluted to the gods in the gray mist.

The "Fools" bowed their heads, and their figures dispersed from the gray mist.

*Represents only the stereotype of "Stealer" Esther, and does not represent the author's personal opinion. After all, there are still Anderson and Little Lou who are trying to pull up the "Red Priest" average.
