Chapter 71: A Chance Encounter in the Watch Shop

After solving the problem of the "Tarot Club", Angel did not have the heart to stay in the "Scavenger Bar" anymore, she hurriedly said goodbye to "Justice" and her bodyguard, and left the trading market.

The pair seemed to have other deals, and as Angel walked down the stairs, the two were seen walking towards the message board again.

Come to think of it, the "Fortune Teller" potion requires more than just star crystals, the blood of the Rava octopus is also one of the necessary main materials, and other auxiliary materials are easy to obtain, even if they are not sold in the trading market, most of them can be bought in ordinary herb shops.

The 5 ml of octopus blood written on the blackboard seemed to have been bought by her, but if this "Justice" lady had obtained all the required Rava octopus blood and bought the star crystal, she would definitely go back to prepare the potion as soon as possible, instead of continuing to stay in the trading market.

It seems that on her path to the extraordinary, I am afraid that there is still a Rava octopus......

Rather than "justice", who is pursuing potions at a high price, Angel is more interested in the unknown bodyguard next to her.

From the brief contact before, she realized that the other party was probably an extraordinary person.

It's a pity that the extraordinary can't be discerned in appearance, even if they turn on their spiritual vision, they are only healthier and stronger than ordinary people in their field of vision, which is completely the point that normal people can achieve with a little training.

Unless you start your hands and see the other person using extraordinary abilities, it is difficult to distinguish them from ordinary people.

This is also the reason why the civilian personnel of the "Heart of the Machine" were discovered by their teammates after they had taken the potion of Sequence 8 without permission.

But if this bodyguard is extraordinary, then why did he become an underage girl's entourage? Because of lack of money, or do you fulfill your promises, or ......

While walking out of the "scavenging bird", she was making up a big drama in her heart.

——————

Angel, who had returned to the "Silver Bullet" with dinner and supper, had just pushed open the door when he saw the captain of the Port Enmat team, Clement straightening his trench coat and walking towards the door.

Seeing that he was ready to go, Angel asked curiously:

"Captain Clement, are you going out on patrol?"

"Patrol? I don't have this time anymore, so I went to replace my teammates who had been watching all day during the day, and they couldn't even eat. ”

Clement replied with a tired look on his face, this state of mind is extremely rare in the extraordinary of the "Sleepless" pathway.

It seems that the late arrival of the Beckland team has turned this joint operation into a "war of attrition", which has made the manpower situation of the already understaffed Port Enmat team worse, and even the captain has to go out to work in the middle of the night, no wonder there are not many living people in the night watchman's stronghold all day.

Angel moved out of the door, and Clement hurried past her, walking away from the "silver bullet", and somewhere to "watch".

The door closed, Angel looked around the hall on the first floor, and found that only herself and Dalie Simone sitting in the corner were left, and several other night watchers of the "Sleepless" sequence were also pulled out.

At this time, she was somewhat glad that she was an "assassin" and not a "sleepless".

"Did you catch that 'Mechanical Heart' member?"

Putting the dinner on the coffee table, Angel sat down opposite Daly, picked up the coffee pot and shook it, and found that there was still some left, although it was already cold.

"Unfortunately, no."

Dai Li was originally resting with her eyes closed, and as one of the few "sleepless" in the team, she was responsible for guarding the station when her teammates took turns going out to perform tasks, plus the "mechanical heart" to capture the defecting members, and at this time she had written the word exhaustion on her face.

Hearing the question, she opened her eyes, and Angel realized that Dalie's blush and eyeshadow that seemed to grow on her face had been washed off at some point, revealing her fair skin.

"The 'Mechanical Hearts' used a seal that could locate a specific target location through divination, but unfortunately Tomas used some kind of anti-divination method, so that the divination that began yesterday was not accurately located, until this afternoon, that anti-divination method was breached."

After taking a sip of Angel's poured herbal coffee, Daly continued:

"The location is in an apartment on Planck Street, our precinct for night watchmen. I think they had a plan to settle it privately, after all, the incumbent members became traitors and killed two teammates, and it is not a shameful thing to spread the word. But the divination was soon interfered with by the other party, and at such a time when the situation was unclear and there were not enough manpower, they could only turn to the 'night watchman' to cooperate with the action and arrest together. ”

"Anti-divination? What kind of extraordinary person is that defector? ”

Angel had learned the meaning of "anti-divination" when Old Neil was divining a wanted person, but according to him, the only people who could use this technique were at least the extraordinary ones in the middle sequence, and they had to be limited to those who were proficient in divination.

They also didn't know that the two teammates he killed were shot in the back and died on the spot, ordinary revolver bullets, and there were no other signs of damage at the scene, so it was difficult to determine what the way was. That's why the 'Hearts of the Machines' even bring their members with automatic weapons, who are afraid to face the Extraordinary of the Medium Sequence. ”

"It's a pity that the heavily armed 'mechanical hearts' still pounced, the other party is proficient in anti-divination skills, and the corresponding divination ability should not be bad, it is a pity that he was aware of the action to capture him in advance, and fled before we arrived."

Dai Li's face didn't mean any regret at all, but revealed a kind of fun teasing.

"The apartment was bought by Tomats a long time ago and used as a secret base, and we found a lot of spiritual materials and weapons in the room, which he should have intercepted in the light of his work. Herman, the 'Mechanical Heart' you saw today, judged that the two team members he killed were killed because they discovered Thomats's secret spiritual materials and were killed during the confrontation. ”

"It's a pity that Tomats will not stay in the port of Emmatt no matter how stupid he is today, if he moves faster, finds a boat that dares to go to sea at night, and goes south along the coast, he should be able to reach the port of Plitz tomorrow morning."

The wanted person, who had been determined to escape from the city of Tingen overnight, died in Tingen......

Angel remembered the "assassin" she had killed when she retrieved Antigonus' notes, and was noncommittal to Dali's judgment, but the matter had little to do with her, and seeing that Dali was a little sleepy, he did not refute her opinion.

The two shared the dinner Angel had brought back - a Dicy grilled fish, and then nibbled on some Intis bread that was as hard as a stick in the soup, until the night watchman who had been replaced by Clement returned to the place, and Dali, who was already sleepy and couldn't open her eyes, said goodbye to Angel and left the "silver bullet".

——————

Handing the banknote of 1 Suller to the coachman, Angel jumped out of the carriage.

It was the morning of the second day, and when the sun should have been shining, a dark cloud that had been blown from the sea to the port of Enmat obscured most of the sky, making the whole city gloomy, and the sea in the distance was instead blessed by the sun, and the Tyndall effect of the water vapor presented a beautiful view.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the port of Enmat, despite its oily and garbage coastline, is still crowded with tourists......

Angel glanced at the coastline with little interest, and then withdrew her gaze, she had a lot of work to do today, and she didn't have time to enjoy the scenery in the distance.

Waking up early in the morning and staying up all night, Captain Clement returned to the station and announced a piece of news that made everyone happy and worried.

The Beckland squad has been set to arrive at the port of Emmatt tomorrow, at noon on Sunday, and the "long-awaited" operation will begin tomorrow night.

Except for Dai Li, who seriously exceeded the working hours, she looked tired, and the rest of the sleepers were elated, but in order to prevent the target from running away in advance, they still had to continue to keep an eye on a few target strongholds, even if it was a "sleepless" who only slept for three or four hours a day, the smile on his face was gradually replaced by a sad face.

Fortunately, there are a large number of sleeplessers, and after reasonable distribution, all shifts can be filled, Angel, as a rare way, can't stay up all night like sleepless people without losing combat effectiveness, just need to stay in the "silver bullet" at the specified time like Dai Li.

She was assigned to be on duty tonight, and there was another "corpse collector" on duty during the day, so she was able to finish what she wanted to do in her last free time.

In the afternoon, she planned to contact the Extraordinary One who had left a message in the Market, and if possible, buy the main materials for the "Instigator Potion" potion.

A Sequence 8 potion main ingredient costs 200 to 300 pounds, and the potion recipe itself costs around 400 pounds, but fortunately, Angel already knows the "Assassin" path potion recipe until Sequence 7, and all that needs to be purchased is the material.

In order to ensure that she could get at least one main material, she sold all the "Star Crystals" yesterday, and the cash on her body had exceeded 400 pounds, as long as the other party did not increase the price wantonly, it should be enough.

But before heading to the "Scavenger Bird" trade, Angel is going to take a trip to the "Carvey Watch Shop".

Yesterday's appraisal of "Thirsty for Blood" let her know that "Craftsman" Kavineng is famous, respected by "Hanged Man", and his ability is indeed extraordinary.

I wonder if this craftsman will be able to take over the task of making new weapons......

Angel has a lot of better weapon designs than revolvers in her head, but she doesn't have the ability to make them, so she has always buried this idea in her heart, and after meeting the "craftsman", her heart is alive again.

It was 9 a.m., and to the earth-shattering, gear- and link-driven bells of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, Angel was back in front of the unassuming shop of Carvey Watch & Clock.

The glass door, which was still unwiped, was ajar.

As luck would have it, it seems that this shop is not closed on weekends.

Angel's hanging heart relaxed, she reached out and knocked on the door, and without waiting for the invitation inside, she pushed the door open and walked in.

The gas lights in the store were not turned on, and in the dim environment, the old man she had mistaken for Kaveh was lying in the narrow hallway, a dark red blood flowing from the place where his face touched the floor, and the short-barreled shotgun was thrown out of the distance.

The craftsman Kaveh sat on his knees clutching his bleeding left shoulder, his neck covered with a red handprint from the pinch, and a brass revolver with an elongated muzzle on his forehead.

The owner of the pistol stood in front of Kaveh, holding the gun in his right hand and a pocket watch in his left hand. Hearing the door open, the man in a long trench coat and a peaked cap had his head slightly sideways, and his gaze under thick-rimmed glasses skimmed to the door.
