Chapter 86: Departure
Angel wanted to watch how Dalie "checked" Rupert, but he didn't expect that spiritism was more boring than divination, Dali opened a bottle of hydrosol and directly let Rupert smell it, causing the latter to fall into a strange state of confusion, and then put on his hood and sat opposite Rupert, no longer moving.
She watched for a while, and found that Dali herself had entered some kind of fugue state, her eyes were white, her face was serious, and she did not respond to the stimuli of the outside world.
If it weren't for the fact that Dali was a "psychic", he would definitely think that this was a "nightmare" invading other people's dreams.
After watching with some boredom for a while, Angel did not anticipate that the channeling would not end soon, so instead of staying in the hall, he returned to his room on the third floor.
Before she left, Morrow and Brandon, who had gone to the Yan Clinic on Fourth Avenue in the Dulang district to address the "listeners," also returned to the station.
It turned out that they had already dealt with the member of the "Aurora Society", but because there were a lot of ritual magic and sacrificial items arranged by the other party in the clinic, they took a little processing to notify the police of the aftermath, so they returned later than the other two teams.
The other two teams managed to solve the enemy, but we were the only ones who fought hard for a long time and finally let "Mr. C" run away...... Even the dead body of Tomas is gone.
Angel was a little discouraged.
She knew that it wouldn't be long before Mr. C's wanted warrant would be sent throughout the kingdom of Rune, just like Thomats, who was already dead but had become a "missing person".
But how effective this wanted is, Cole Granger, Triss and other wanted criminals should be able to give a less than satisfactory answer.
Fortunately, I have gained a lot in this "business trip", not only through the extraordinary characteristics of the "instigator" directly promoted, but also picked up Thomats's magical items, although it is not clear what the negative effect is, but its ability is so strong, Thomacs in sequence 8 has already shown her in several battles.
Unfortunately, the stolen item of the "Heart of the Machine" could not be given to Carveh for identification, and she could tell at a glance that it was used by Thomats......
Looking at the small pocket watch, where the hands had gone from 11:58 to 10:00, Angel confirmed once again that it was really going backwards in a one-to-one time.
Maybe the pointer goes back to zero and something will happen?
In order to avoid being affected by the negative effects, she carefully packed the pocket watch in a box that originally contained "thirsty blood" and could isolate spirituality, and put it in the suitcase.
——————
Early the next morning, Angel said goodbye to Dalie and Clement, said goodbye to the belated Beckland night watchman, and set out on the road back to Tingen with her suitcase.
After a night of recuperation, Rupert has basically returned to normal, except for some photophobia, he has been able to eat and communicate normally.
Talking about the experience of seeing the statue of the "real creator" through spiritual vision, he was still a little afraid.
According to his description, the statue under the spiritual vision seemed to become a real, bleeding upside-down man, and he felt that his spirit was out of control just by looking closely, but he thought about looking away or turning off the spiritual vision, but his body could not react.
Fortunately, after Angel's vision was forcibly interrupted and Clement was initially dealt with through his Nightmare ability, he quickly returned to normal.
Daly didn't find any problems with the psychics, but suggested that he stay in Port Emmatt for a few days to rest and return to the Nightwatch's team in Stoon City when he had fully recovered.
Angel didn't have such a good holiday, since today was Monday and she needed to attend the "tarot meeting" in the afternoon, she was worried that the night watchman station staying in the port of Enmat would be discovered, so she made an excuse and set off early.
The early morning fog in the port of Enmatt is mostly made by the sea breeze at night, but it is also mixed with the smell of industrial exhaust gases, and some factories even work all day, with people stopping machines and emitting suffocating harmful gases in three shifts.
After smelling it for a few days, Angel was already quite familiar with this kind of atmosphere, which was completely different from the city of Tingen, and she couldn't help but be a little reluctant to leave at this time.
Fortunately, the port of Emmatt is only a few hours' drive from Tingen, so you can come and see it when you have time in the future......
While planning her future vacation in her mind, she entered the steam train station with her suitcase.
The first train to Tingen in the morning was still being prepared, and on the other side of the platform was supposed to be the route to Beckland, where a steam train was also parked on the tracks, and the busy figure of maintenance workers meant that the train was likely to be delayed.
She found a chair in the waiting area and sat down to wait, nibbling on the fish cakes characteristic of the port of Enmat, and watching the staff and passengers of the train station rush to and fro.
Hey, that's ......
Angel caught a glimpse of three travelers, two men and one woman, hurrying past him, pausing for a moment in front of the overhauled steam train, and then returning to the waiting area in despair, and sitting across from her.
Without waiting for her to say hello, the woman spotted Angel as well.
"Sure enough, it's your ......"
Kaveh, who was "Mechanic Heart", left the two men and walked over to Angel, unceremoniously sat down in a chair next to him, and said hello.
"Well, you're going to Beckland?"
Angel remembered the last time she met Carveh about the "Beckland Retirement Plan".
"I actually wanted to leave this seaside city for a long time, I had some conflicts with the captain, and there was no chance of promotion if I stayed here, I wanted to wait for Bourne to retire and ......"
At the mention of the old man with the "Heart of the Machine" killed by Tomats, Carveh's mood was a little low, and she sighed, her eyes moving to the train that was about to leave for Beckland next to the platform.
"But it's better to change places, Tomas escaped from you again this time, this guy has always held a grudge, and maybe he will find an opportunity to kill me. Go to Beckland and start over, lest you fall into the hands of this bastard. ”
"Ah, I'm not saying you didn't do a good job...... That guy has powerful magical items, and he's familiar with the actions of the official Extraordinary, so haven't the previous captures of the 'Mechanical Heart' failed a few times......"
As if afraid that Angel would misunderstand, she hurriedly added.
"It's okay, and you're not quite accurate, actually, ......"
Angel hesitated for a moment, then made up her mind, and she stood up and motioned for Kaveh to follow her, a little farther away, avoiding the two men who were accompanying Kaveh.
"What do you mean by not quite accurate, do you mean Thomats...... Oh my God, what is this? ”
Carveh followed with a puzzled expression, and just wanted to ask Angel, only to see that the other party took out a small pocket watch from his pocket.
"You could call it 'Thomats' Relic,' or 'The Stolen Pocket Watch of the Machine Heart.'"
"What do you mean......" Kaveh's breathing was a little heavy, and she cautiously glanced back at the two men sitting in the distance, looking at this side, and continued in a low voice: "That guy is dead?" What about corpses? ”
You don't want to do something irrational, do you......
Angel looked at Kaveh with suspicion, and only replied after a moment: "I'm sure he's dead, I've stabbed him twice in the heart, you extraordinary people in this path shouldn't be able to survive, right?" But for some reason, his body is missing, so the Nightwatcher only informs you of the disappearance. ”
"No wonder, the follow-up divination results are so ......"
Kaveh muttered, his gaze shifting from Angel's body to the pocket watch in her hand, his serious face suddenly becoming sly.
"You mean, for me, for Bourne, so ......"
"You want me to identify this amazing item?"
"It's free."
Angel emphasized, clutching the few gold pounds he had left in his pocket.
