"Deep Sleep Flowers, Then Rock Roses......"

Angel carefully blended several plant essential oils together, and after shaking them well in a clear glass bottle, the essential oils needed for ritual magic took on a light blue color.

This thing can't be poisonous, right?

She tried to lift the cap and smell it, and the blend of essential oils gave off a fresh scent, mixed with her familiar mint scent, as well as a new aroma that didn't belong to any of the oils before the mix.

"It doesn't smell poisonous, but this weird color...... Except for the use of ritual magic, it is better to keep it at other times......"

She placed the bottle in the space high on the shelf, along with the bundle of sandalwood candles that had been bought at a high price, and took a few books from the side to cover the outside, so that no one could notice the existence of the bottle without turning the bookshelf.

Since the ritual magic taught by the Fool requires not only essential oils and candles, but also four different foods arranged in a square, Angel plans to buy fresh food at noon the next day before trying it.

If the ritual fails, there is still one day to make amends, so as not to miss the time limit set by the fool.

Solving an important problem, Angel feels the stone in her heart fall to the ground, and she immediately remembers another thing that makes her care - the round-faced teenager she met in the underground market of the Dragon Bar, Tris.

In retrospect, her vigilance in the underground market was surprisingly low, and if it hadn't been for the last prompt from her spiritual senses, she might have followed the other party out of the dragon bar in a daze.

Of course, if there is a conflict, Angel thinks that as an assassin, he also has a certain ability to protect himself.

Unless the other person is also extraordinary.

————————

"Is he really extraordinary?"

"What's wrong, you know him?"

The captain of the Nightwatch, Dunn Smith, asked Angel curiously.

It was Tuesday morning, and most of the members of the Nightwatch were gathered in the reception room on the second floor of Black Thorn Security, where Dunn was holding an internal wanted warrant with a sketch portrait to show to everyone.

In the portrait is a round, shy young face, about eighteen or nineteen years old, who is the same Triss that Angel met yesterday.

"I went to the underground trading market in the docklands yesterday...... Well, it's the one behind the dragon bar, I ran into him when I was shopping for items for training ritual magic, and I talked a few words, I thought he was just an ordinary person who had some dabbling in the occult, but I didn't expect ......"

Angel explains to the captain and the others why he knew the wanted man.

“…… I didn't expect the tragedy of Alfalfa to be done by such a young person, oh my God, it was dozens of lives, it turned out to be an extraordinary person who committed the crime, he didn't even look like an adult! ”

Roseanne sighed incoherently as she had a copy of the Tingen Zeitung two days earlier in front of her, and the page she turned to was a large account of a tragic accident on the Alfalfa at sea.

The hapless passenger ship was first confronted by the self-proclaimed King of the Five Seas by the great pirate Nast in the furious seas, the treasure was looted, and then infighting ensued, and a fierce conflict broke out between the crew and passengers, escalating from verbal arguments to physical annihilation of each other. Although the passengers, led by the captain, won and survived, dozens of lives were still lost in the endless sea as they killed each other.

The Tingen Zeitung commented that it was an "ugly conflict between survivors at the limit".

But judging from the wanted warrants within the Church of the Night Goddess, this is a tragic incident that happened under the control of the Extraordinary One.

"If it weren't for Klein's discovery that something was wrong when he was helping the survivors with divination, I'm afraid the police would have been on the same page as the Tingen Zeitung's commentary."

Dunn added from the side.

"It seems that going to have some side hustles does help with work."

Leonard looked at Crane, who was sitting in the corner, and said with a smile, as if he meant something. The latter stared at the wanted notice on the table, his brow furrowed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Thinking back to the funny and graceful teenager he met yesterday, Angel couldn't connect him with the extraordinary person who caused the alfalfa tragedy.

Although Tris also showed a hint of hidden malice at the end of the exchange, he ......

Angel was stunned for a moment, and she finally discovered the source of the familiarity in Tris.

It's not that I've seen this person before, it's a familiarity in his behavior.

"He's the 'instigator'......"

Angel slowly pronounced the name of the potion, no wonder she let down her guard against strangers in just a few words when she faced Tris yesterday, as if she were talking to an old friend for many years, it seemed that the "instigator's" linguistic charm came into play.

Dunn nodded, and said with a serious face: "That's right, last night the 'Mechanical Heart' team asked me to investigate the survivors of the Alfalfa, and I found some clues in my dream, combined with the details of the tragedy they learned, it was determined that this case was committed by the Extraordinary. ”

"His name is Tris, the 'instigator' of Sequence 8, and he does not rule out the possibility of coming from the 'Gnosis Society', and is good at stirring up people's hearts through language, intensifying contradictions, and provoking conflicts. The Alfalfa encounter with the pirates was accidental, but the ensuing violent clashes between the passengers and the crew were determined to have been caused by Tris's instigation. ”

"He disappeared after disembarking from the port of Enmat, but there are survivors who have witnessed him coming to Tingen, remember what he looks like, if you meet him alone on the street, don't get into a confrontation directly, sequence 9 of 'instigator' is 'assassin'."

Dunn said, looking at Angel the Assassin.

"That's right, after the 'Assassin' is promoted to the next sequence, the original extraordinary abilities will be strengthened, and his melee combat ability is not even inferior to many Sequence 7 extraordinaires."

Angel nodded in agreement with Dunn's admonition.

"So, what are we going to do with this Tris?" Siga Teang on the side asked, she had been listening, frowning and thinking from time to time, and only now did she ask a question.

"I've already introduced the skills of the 'assassin' to you before, if it's in a narrow room or in a small alley, my advice is to shoot him back, and then run immediately, and don't fight him alone in the same order."

Angel tries to put himself in the other person's identity, analyzing and analyzing the way the "assassin" fights.

"If it is an open terrain, as long as you use long-range weapons, you can suppress the 'assassin', and the opponent's flexible body and melee combat ability cannot be exerted in this case, even if it is a few ordinary policemen, there is a high probability of taking him down if they shoot with a firearm at a distance."

"So, the trick is to try not to melee as much as possible, preferably with more and less combat?" Crane, who had been immersed in studying the wanted warrant, looked up and concluded.

"The 'Assassin' is also good at concealment, and if you encounter him and are unsure, it is best not to show hostility so as not to let him escape. Notify us, the Punisher Substitute, the Extraordinary One of the Mechanical Heart, or contact the nearest patrol officer as soon as possible. ”

Angel thought for a moment and added a few more words.

Dunn Smith emphasized with a serious face: "If the other party dares to come to Tingen City after committing a major crime, he may want to continue to commit crimes here, or contact his superiors, once he is alerted, he is very likely to leave Tingen City, and it will be very difficult to find him again." ”

"So now that Tris's identity as an 'instigator' has been confirmed, and we haven't had time to make a want, it's our advantage. Angel met him at the Dragon Bar in the docklands yesterday, which means that the other party will most likely need to buy some much-needed materials, and maybe they will reappear again today, which is the best time to arrest him. ”

He looked around at the night watchmen in the reception room and quickly assigned the task: "Leonard, you and I will take the carriage to the Dragon Bar in the docklands now, and Kornley will guard the 'Chanis Gate' for you." Angel, you take the wanted warrant, go to the police station across the street to inform them, send a team of people to the dock area to assist in the arrest, wearing civilian clothes, all with guns. Siga, you go with her, you have to lead the team after the arrival, Tris has seen Angel, she can't go with her. Crane, you stay here, and if you need support, call Old Neil along. ”

Several of the night watchmen who were named nodded their heads in understanding, and Crane, who was assigned to guard the house, opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he still didn't speak.

Those who went to arrest were all "sleepless" paths, at least the extraordinary ones of Sequence 8...... Angel looked at the crowd and quickly noticed Dunn's clever arrangement.

Even if they encounter the "instigator" Triss alone, the "Sleeplessers", who are also good at hand-to-hand combat, have the power to fight, once the exchange of fire begins, the police who rushed to the scene will surround them, even if the "assassin" is proficient in the way of escape, it will be difficult to escape the encirclement, and if he can drag Dunn to perform the ability of "Nightmare", Tris is even more difficult to fly.

Angel and Triss had only met each other, and if they followed him to the docks, once Triss found out, it would be easy to alert the other party and flee before the officials and the police cordoned off the area. And Klein, as a "soothsayer", currently does not surpass the combat ability of ordinary people, and it is easy to become a breakthrough when he goes to the front line to fight.

She wondered why Dunn Smith had gone so far as to dispatch almost all of his night watchmen to capture an "instigator" who had fled from another city. You know, the portrait of the last wanted "instigator" Cole Granger has been hanging all over Tingen for two weeks, and Dunn has not been concerned about Mrs. Sharon's whereabouts after his death.

Unless, he thinks Tris has a connection with other extraordinary?

As if seeing Angel's doubts, Dunn explained: "The 'instigator' Tris probably belongs to the secret organization of the 'Gnosis Society', and the latter often creates bloody cases such as the Alfalfa tragedy, and the 'Labor Mutual Aid Slave Trafficking Case' that the church is investigating recently is likely to also have their involvement. ”

Why is it still related to the labor union?

Angel raised her eyebrows, she suddenly remembered the mysterious assassin she had met at the labor union, and she and Dunn had analyzed that the mysterious assassin had fought for his life to retrieve the mutual aid society's ledger, and it was likely that he was forced to control his organization behind his back.

So, it's likely that the assassin was from the Gnostic, just like the "instigator" Tris? How can this organization be on the same path as the "Witch Sect" and collect some extraordinary people in the "Assassin" sequence?

However, considering that the extraordinary people in this world need to be promoted through potions, it is not difficult to understand that the extraordinary people of the same sequence are grouped.

Looking at the "sleeplessers" preparing for the departure in front of him, Angel felt that his guess should be very close to the truth.
