Chapter 62: Urgent Mission

After agreeing to Klein's invitation on the spur of the moment, Angel didn't take long to regret it.

Recalling the details of the conversation, she realizes that Klein's purpose may have been simply to thank her for her help in the battle, as well as to help "lie" and conceal some facts.

Not the "confession conference" she imagined.

But since he has verbally agreed, Angel does not intend to go back, so it is good to socialize among colleagues......

She comforted herself in her heart.

————————

After solving the "Antigonus Family Notes" incident, the night watchman team in Tingen City had nothing to do for a while, except for routine patrols and duty, most of the members soaked in the lounge or reception room, or read the newspaper, or chatted.

Angel has only become an official member this week, and has not yet been scheduled to take the task of "Chanis Gate", and the original arrangement for today was to patrol the cemetery on the outskirts of the North District with Ms. Luo Yao, but Luo Yao drove the night watchman team of Beckland to the steam train station and never returned.

Not wanting to wait and waste his time, Angel went to the basement of the station, went to Old Neil to get some alchemy materials and pistol ammunition, and began to make special ammunition in the dimly lit alchemy room.

After joining the Night Watch and distributing the "Demon Hunting Bullet", her need for "Storm Convergence" ammunition is not too large, although the latter's penetration and damage are stronger than the standard Demon Hunting Bullet, but the manufacturing is time-consuming, laborious, and a waste of precious and extraordinary materials in the warehouse, and she rarely makes them these days.

On the other hand, the "Phantom Phosphorus Eruption" is a secondary bullet that she desperately feels like she needs to carry with her during yesterday's fight with the tuxedo clown.

Among the extraordinary people in this world, the ability to hide their bodies is not uncommon, at least she has seen Lady Sharon the "witch", and the tuxedo clown of unknown sequence.

Needless to say, the stealth ability can help in combat, and the "Phantom Phosphorus Eruption", which spreads light powder that leaves them with nothing to hide, is the best countermeasure.

After preparing the materials in the alchemy room, Angel began to make the "Phantom Phosphorus Eruption" with ease.

The bullet is heated to melt the binder, the bullet head is removed and discarded, the cartridge case of the entire propellant is poured out, the initial surface treatment is applied to the wax, and then the intricate runes and prayers are carefully carved with a ceremonial knife, and finally the emblem of the goddess of the night is painted.

Although the Church of the Night did not propose a way for her to turn in the special bullet for the time being, and only received some samples, Angel still prepared for this in advance, so she did not use the English prayer, but used the "localized" Hermetic script instead.

Soak the treated shells in the prepared etching solution, and soon the acidic liquid will corrode the notched parts that have no surface protection into deep ravines, and then fill these dents with the essence of screaming grass to make a charm to store spirits.

After making a batch of etched shells, Angel mixed the luminescent lizard scale powder, calcium carbide and propellant treated with nitric acid, and reloaded them into the shells.

When fired, the warhead quickly burns and explodes in the air, scattering phantom phosphorescent powder over an entire area, revealing the enemies within.

There is not much spirituality required to make the "Phantom Phosphorus Eruption", but the process is complex and the success rate of manufacturing is low, especially the part where the shell is engraved and etched, and the whole shell will be scrapped if you are not careful, so you have to start over.

Maybe it was made in an unfamiliar working environment, or maybe it was absent-mindedness caused by too many distractions in her heart, and the discarded bullet casings on the side had been piled up into a hill, and there were only ten successful ones, most of which were small-caliber ammunition, but there were still a lot of 0.45-inch bullets on hand that were not consumed, and she also made a few large-caliber ones.

There seemed to be a faint sound of conversation outside the door, Angel subconsciously tilted his head to listen, the ritual knife in his hand flicked, and there was an ugly cut across the crimson moon on the night emblem, and another surface treated bullet case was scrapped.

Listening to the conversation getting closer, she sighed secretly, she shouldn't be able to continue working today.

The etching fluid, which had become cloudy, was poured down the drain, the discarded cartridge casings and materials were thrown into the trash, and the equipment was sorted away. She carefully wrapped the prepared "Phantom Phosphorus Eruption" in oiled paper and put it into the metal bullet box, rubbed her already sore shoulders, and left the alchemy room.

Sure enough, there were two people standing outside the door, and the conversation Angel had heard earlier came from them.

Wearing a trench coat and a silk top hat was Dunn Smith, who saw someone coming out of the alchemy room, he nodded to another middle-aged man in a black priest's uniform opposite: "I see." ”

The man didn't speak, but just dotted his right hand on his chest, drew a crimson moon, and then bowed his head and hurried away.

"Is he?"

Seeing the man walk in the opposite direction of the underpass intersection, Angel asked.

"That direction leads to St. Selena's Church, and if the church has an urgent matter and we can't be contacted, a telegram will be sent to the church, and someone will come to inform us."

Dunn replied in response, retracting his gaze towards the end of the passage and looking at Angel.

"There is an urgent mission, just now the Templars sent a telegram, but our receiver sometimes malfunctions, and often does not receive the message, so they send it to the Church of St. Selena again."

Dunn reached out and pulled his top hat off his left armpit, revealing his short, meticulously groomed brown hair, his gaze wandering, as if thinking about something.

When the eyes refocused on Angel, Dunn continued:

"By noon tomorrow, you'll need to get to Port Enmat, 26 First Avenue in the Golden Apple District, where the Port Enmat Nightwatchman squad is stationed, and it's easy to find, just across from St. George's Chapel."

"When you get there, look for the captain of Enmat's team, Bell Clement, and he'll tell you what to do next, just follow him."

Port of Enmat? Urgent task?

Angel looked into Dunn's eyes, trying to find some clue in them, but the other party just looked back indifferently, gray eyes like a calm lake.

"Okay, I see."

She nodded, now that the order had been given, as a full member of the Nightwatch, she had no right to refuse, but Angel still threw her doubts to the other party.

"But why me?"

As if he had expected such a question, Dunn waved his hand and led the way to the exit of the underpass, Angel following him.

"There has been progress in the case of the Workers' Mutual Aid Association in Tingen involved in the human trade, the root cause is in the port of Enmat, the specific situation is not mentioned in the telegram, but a large number of people are required to participate in the operation, and the team in the port of Enmat is about the same size as ours, even if the whole team is not enough. So not only the city of Tingen, but also several surrounding cities where the night watchman team was stationed have sent personnel. ”

"As for why you were chosen...... Dunn tilted his head sideways and smiled faintly, "You found out about this case in the first place, and of course you have to earn the credit." ”

Seeing Angel's look of disbelief, he added:

"Of course, there is another reason, most of the night watchers are extraordinary people from the 'sleepless' and 'corpse collector' paths, and they need some different powers."

That makes a lot more sense......

Tingen's market value night squad does not count the new additions Angel and Crane, there are a total of 7 extraordinary, except for the "voyeur" old Neil turned to a civilian position, the rest are actually all "sleepless" and "corpse collector" These two ways are related, which is of course related to the extraordinary power inheritance of the Night Goddess Church, but the "bias" of potion selection can also be said to be very obvious.

It is conceivable that the distribution of the Nightwatch team in other cities should be not much different from that of Tingen, and it is really useless to send the same way to the past.

"I understand, but in this kind of cross-regional case, is the combat effectiveness really guaranteed by temporarily convening and dispatching people on duty to form a team and cooperate with teammates who are not familiar with each other? It's better to form a separate team to deal with this kind of task in normal times......"

"It's nice to think of that."

Dunn nodded approvingly, and he pondered the words before replying:

"There is indeed an elite team within the Nightwatch, and their clothing is characterized by wearing conspicuous red gloves, so we generally call them 'Red Gloves'."

"The mission of the 'Red Gloves' is to support the Nightwatch Squads in other cities at all times, to solve crises that a single squad cannot handle, and to hunt down Extraordinaire criminals who commit crimes across regions. This human trafficking case involves a number of hidden organizations of the Extraordinary, the area involved in the case spans the counties of Mt. Hay, Ahowa and East Chester, and it was supposed to be handled by them, but unfortunately the 'Red Gloves' had another task and could not return for a while, so the Templars decided to temporarily call the night watchmen in each area. ”

The two had now walked through the crossroads, back to the spiral staircase leading to Blackthorn Security, and Dunn stopped and stood at the top of the stairs, the flickering lights making his shadow flutter.

"That's all I know, and you can wait until you get to the port of Enmat to ask Clement."

He took the top hat out of his armpit again and put it on his head.

"Their request is to arrive within 24 hours, that is, by noon tomorrow, of course you can leave in the afternoon, but I suggest you be prepared to go early tomorrow morning. The ammunition and consumables you need can be picked up at the arsenal and used in their better ...... at the port of Enmat"

In the captain's somewhat cumbersome admonition, Angel nodded again and again, and seeing that he had no intention of going upstairs, he climbed the stairs and walked to the ground by himself.

"Three, two, one......"

She deliberately slowed down, silently counting down in her heart.

"Wait a minute."

Unsurprisingly, Dunn's shouts came from behind him.

"Captain, is there anything else?"

She squeezed out a smile and asked back.

"Hmm...... You go to Mrs. Oriana and advance the bounty, which is the 50 pounds that belong to you on the police warrant, as the expenses of the operation, and then reimburse it according to the specific consumption when you return. ”

As if afraid that he would stop the other party again, Dunn pressed his top hat after saying this, and turned around and walked towards "Chanis Gate".
