Chapter 74 Characteristics of the "Instigator".
After tracing the notes of the Antigonus family and fighting the Extraordinary of the "Esoteric Society", the Tingen Night Squad deduced that the other party had the strength of Sequence 7, whether it was "Flame Flash" or "Paper Man Stand-in", they searched through the internal materials and classics, but found no relevant records, so they had to report the matter to the Holy Church for verification.
After Carveh personally confirmed that Tomas only had Sequence 8, and even directly denied that this extraordinary path had similar abilities, the various extraordinary abilities he used in battle could only be explained by magical items.
In the same way that Angel's "Thirst for Blood" absorbed the extraordinary characteristics of the "Witch" and obtained some of the corresponding abilities, perhaps Tomas obtained similar items from some sources that also absorbed certain extraordinary characteristics, allowing him to use extraordinary abilities that did not belong to his own potions sequence.
Thinking of this, Carveh's eyes lit up, and he got up from his chair, not caring about being in a mess in a watch shop, pacing back and forth with his feet on broken glass, muttering to the sound of "crunching" footsteps:
"That's right...... The two abilities he used in the battle just now, turning into a paper man and teleporting to another location in flames, are much like a wild extraordinaire I've seen before, he is sequence 7 of the 'soothsayer' pathway, and the potion's name is 'magician'. ”
The middle sequence of the soothsayer's path...... Magician?
Angel was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that he would only be able to divinate and ritual magic, and there was no way to strengthen the battle of the soothsayer, but in Sequence 7, he would have the weird and changeable extraordinary ability of the tuxedo clown.
She couldn't imagine a gentleman as urbane and polite as Klein, with a colorful clown paint on his face, flying up and down in a tuxedo, dodging attacks and making grimaces and mocking enemies.
Not knowing Angel's inner drama at this time, Carveh continued to analyze:
"That extraordinary man is very difficult, not only can he teleport around like Thomats, dodge deadly attacks with paper figures, and confuse us with illusions, but he can also shoot invisible bullets with his bare hands, and change the fatal wound in the chest and abdomen to an innocuous place with a single touch of his hand......"
"He used this trick just now, damage transfer."
Angel added.
Kaveh fainted when he was attacked by a steam rifle in Tomats, running away through the flame jump and damage transfer, and did not see this scene, and she nodded when she heard Angel add.
"Then it's certain that he must be holding a magical item with the ability of a 'magician'...... Wait, is it ......"
As if thinking of something, Kaveh's face changed and his steps stopped.
"That guy must have stolen the extraordinary properties in the warehouse, no wonder he was sneaky when he saw me on the day he was on temporary duty, like he was afraid of being discovered by me when he was secretly on duty."
"Extraordinary features...... Sure enough, you killed a "magician", and then the extraordinary properties were stolen by Tomats and made into magical items...... But does he have what it takes to craft magical items in Sequence 8? ”
Hearing this, Angel already has a general understanding of what happened, but according to Kaveh, Tomas should not have the ability to make magical items.
"You don't have to make it yourself, and there is a chance that magical items will be formed if you have extraordinary characteristics in contact with ordinary items for a long time, but this will make the effects of magical items very unstable, and the side effects of using them are much greater, just like your weapon."
She pointed to the "thirsty blood" on Angel's hand.
"Tomats knows this and he's always been a good learner...... I'm going to have to see if that extraordinary trait is still there, were you injured in the battle just now? Hurry back and rest, thank you for your help today, I thought you'd run away......"
I did want to escape, but Tomas didn't give me a chance......
Angel wasn't stupid enough to say that.
Looking at Kaveh, who was hurrying to the door of the store, she asked:
"By the way, how did you kill that 'magician'?"
"I wasn't involved in the operation, so I don't know the details, but the guy wounded several people, and finally the captain transferred two heavy guns and blew the whole house into the sky, and in the ruins they only found that extraordinary characteristic......"
I see, and it can be so.
Angel understood the combat method of "Mechanical Heart", and felt that the battle idea against the extraordinary was instantly much broader.
——————
Sitting at the No. 15 booth on the first floor of the "Scavenger Bar", Angel took a sip of the fruit wine in front of her, and the corner of her eye was focused on the No. 13 next door.
It was close to 3 p.m., Angel went back to the "Silver Bullet Detective Agency" to report to Clement what had happened in the morning, and after briefly dealing with the injuries in the battle, he hurried here non-stop to meet the seller who sold the "Instigator" potion.
Of course, she didn't plan to expose herself easily, so she sat at the next table, wanting to see who the other party was first, and assess the feasibility and danger of the transaction before making a decision.
As the hands of the wall clock on the wall gradually approached the direction of three o'clock, a hearty laugh came from the central bar, and several large men dressed as dock workers came to the table 13 with large wine glasses and a few plates of snacks.
They chatted about some topics of work and life, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer.
Angel picked up the glass and leaned in front of him, using it to hide his gaze, observing several workers, and it was difficult to determine if there was a target for today's transaction.
He deliberately brought a few companions with him to make it difficult for people to start? Or is it a whole team that sells potions instead of individuals?
She was hesitating to step forward to test it when she heard the sound of small footsteps behind her.
Without thinking, she put down her glass, her hand holding the weapon at her waist, and she turned her head to look behind her.
A familiar and unfamiliar face appeared in front of Angel.
When she said that she was familiar, it was because she had only met this person yesterday, but when she said that it was unfamiliar, it was that this person was dressed completely differently from before.
The bodyguard of Miss "Justice", dressed in a black cloak, with her well-fitting vest and shirt removed, is slowly approaching.
"Take it easy, I have no ill intentions."
Seeing Angel touching his waist, the man with short black hair and a slightly thin figure under the cloak hurriedly stretched out his hands from the cloak and signaled that he was empty-handed.
"The last one I said that almost shot me in the head."
Angel stood up directly from the table, leaning towards the other party, his hand still pressed on the "thirst for blood".
"You're the one who left a message on the third floor? Desk 13, 3 p.m.? ”
"Yes, it's a pity that this table is occupied......" The other party glanced at the hot No. 13 platform, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, "If you don't mind, let's go to the third floor to talk?" ”
Angel saw that many of the drinkers around him had noticed the movement here, and nodded.
She followed the bodyguard and walked down the stairs at the back of the bar to the third-floor market.
"I thought you were a bodyguard, but I didn't expect to secretly sell extraordinary materials without telling your employer...... How did you find out it was mine? ”
Ascending the stairs step by step, to the relatively quiet second floor, Angel couldn't help but ask as the two stepped on the red carpet to walk around the stairs on the other side.
"I'm not a bodyguard, you can call me Mr. Dominic. I was just worried that Sonya was being deceived yesterday, so I followed her. ”
The "bodyguard" retorted.
It turned out that the young lady who was not worldly was called Sonya...... Angel secretly wrote down the name of another "Justice".
"I arrived half an hour ago, and you stared at Channel 13 for so long, and you didn't finish a glass of wine, who else but you...... By the way, you drink fruit wine? It can't be that you are still underage, right? ”
"You're talking a little too much......"
Angel felt a little irritated in her heart for no reason.
"Didn't you ask first?" Dominic scratched his short black hair and retorted like an innocent, "I was surprised when I saw you, it seems that you sold the Star Crystal to Miss yesterday to save money for this extraordinary trait......"
"Wait, extraordinary properties?"
Angel stopped, and the two of them were only one step away from the noisy trading market on the third floor.
"Aren't you selling potions materials for the next sequence of 'Assassins'?"
"How can I have potions of other sequences, I sell extraordinary characteristics, that is, from the dead extraordinary......"
"I know what extraordinary properties are." Angel interrupted the other party's description, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and said, "But you said on the message board that the next stage of selling 'assassins' is not a potion?" ”
Dominic frowned and thought for a moment, revealing a look of sudden realization.
"Ah, you said that message, I wrote it last week, and I didn't know which sequence this feature belonged to, didn't I leave another message after that? Sell the extraordinary traits of 'The Instigator'. ”
It turns out that the message was also left by you......
Angel felt as if the conversation between the two was not on the same channel, and she was a little short of breath for a while.
For some reason, Dominic's words were always intentionally or unintentionally provoking her, and after a few words, she felt that she couldn't help but want to do it, but the other party could get the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 8, and she might not be able to take advantage of it.
Oh, and extraordinary features......
Angel remembered the words of the "craftsman" Kaveh in the morning.
If it is really the extraordinary trait of the "Instigator", can he also use the extraordinary trait to advance like the traitor of the "Machine Heart", the Tomas who tried to seize Kaveh's extraordinary trait?
Unfortunately, there is no further information, and this is very risky...... How exactly do you use extraordinary features? Is it swallowed directly, or is it made into a potion by special means?
At present, only Kaveh knows these answers, but with the "this is confidential" expression on her face, I am afraid that she will not say it if asked.
Angel currently only has more than 400 pounds on hand, which is more than enough to take the main material of a Sequence 8 potion, but it is not necessarily enough to buy the extraordinary characteristics of the "Instigator" in Dominic's hands, if the other party does not know the preciousness of the extraordinary characteristics, it is good if he also knows......
Looking at Dominic, who was unhurriedly climbing the stairs in front of him, Angel's brain was racing rapidly, thinking about how to lower the price and get his hands on the extraordinary characteristics.
