Chapter 153: Morse Town
On Tuesday morning, Angel took the usual horse-drawn carriage to Zotland Street and entered the Black Thorn Security Company.
After the death of Old Neil, the entire Tingen team was filled with a sense of negativity, and even the joy of learning about the "Playing Method" could not be diluted, and Angel and Klein had not searched for the "Red Chimney" building for several days.
Pushing open the door of the reception hall on the second floor, Angel saw Miss Roseanne sitting on the sofa, dressed in a long black dress, rarely not making coffee or preparing hot water, but her eyes stayed on a newspaper spread out on the coffee table, unmoved.
Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, she turned her head to the side and looked at Angel with a blank expression.
"Good morning...... she was suddenly stunned, "Hey, it's really you, Angel, I thought I was wrong at first glance...... Did you wear makeup today? ”
Well, it was still discovered......
Angel sighed and put her hand on her cheek.
Early this morning, when she was washing, she found that although the "witch" potion she took yesterday did not change her gender, the transformation of her body was still comprehensive.
Her limbs are softer, her skin is more delicate and fair, and even the scars from injuries sustained in previous battles have disappeared.
Especially in terms of appearance, if the original "instigator" Angel and Cole Granger are still three or four points similar, so that people will not doubt the blood relationship between them, the current "witch" Angel has almost no Cole's facial features and has become more feminine.
It is also more beautiful and charming.
Fortunately, this change did not change her overall appearance, so that Luo Shan would not even recognize her colleagues, and would only suspect that the other party had deliberately put on makeup and made a "small change".
That's the confidence that double "witch" potions gives me......
Angel slandered the harm of the "assassin" way, but he couldn't explain the change in his appearance, so he could only nod and admit:
"I just learned it from the newspaper, so I tried it myself."
If it was Miss Roshan last week, she would have asked which newspaper it was, or asked Angel to take the time to teach her, but this week's Roshan just said "um", looked back at the newspaper on the table, and said no more.
Until Angel left the reception hall, her newspaper didn't flip through.
Passing through the corridor and coming to the recreation room where the night watchers passed the time, Angel found that there was already a table of people sitting inside, playing "Fighting Evil".
Klein was playing with a playing card in one hand and a penny in the other, and the copper coin gurgled around the table, and every time it was about to stop, the nimble finger "clown" would flick around the edge of the coin, causing it to spin again at an accelerated pace.
Leonard, who was opposite him, seemed to be staring at the cards in his hand, but in fact his mind had drifted away; The last player was the white-haired Cyga Teang, who was the only one who was still focused on the game, but now it wasn't her turn, and the writer was yawning boredly.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, all three of them looked up, saw that it was Angel, and withdrew their gaze, but then several people turned their heads and looked back to her face.
"You're ...... today. Makeup? ”
Siga asked the other two gentlemen's inconvenient questions.
"...... in the newspaper"
Squeezing out a smile, Angel once again prevaricated with the same reason.
Fortunately, the three absent-minded night watchmen didn't look into it, but Crane's gaze continued to linger on her face, and then he frowned suspiciously, as if he remembered something.
Pulling the latest date of the newspaper from the nearby shelf, Angel was about to leave the dreary entertainment room and go to the lobby couch to pass the time, when Dunn passed through the hallway outside the door, and a second later turned around and entered the room.
Today's captain did not wear a trench coat or waistcoat, his white shirt was messily draped over his body, full of wrinkles, and his short light brown hair was messy, but his eyes were still bright.
"So you're all here," he glanced at the four people in the entertainment room in turn, and finally stopped at Leonard, "Leonard, there is something going on in the small town of Morse near Tingen, you go over and deal with it, and try to get back before nightfall." ”
"What's wrong, Captain?"
Without waiting for Leonard to answer, Crane, who was playing with the copper coin, pressed the tumbling penny and looked up and asked.
"In the last two days, there have been several suspected haunted incidents in the town, with residents hearing strange cries, footsteps that can't find the source, and even a woman seeing her deceased husband. Almost all of the people in the area were goddesses, so the priest from the town church reported it directly to us. ”
Klein's eyes lit up as he listened to Dunn's answer.
"A suspected haunting? Could there be some secrets inside, or extraordinary powers, like the wraiths we encountered last time in Ramder? He glanced at Leonard out of the corner of his eye, as if inadvertently, "Maybe I can help Leonard with divination, or simple channeling." ”
Such a purposeful statement immediately made Leonard look at the other party, his turquoise eyes filled with doubt.
Dunn didn't think about it that much, and nodded in agreement after a little thought: "That's right, maybe in some cases you still need to purify the spirits through ritual magic, then you and Leonard go to Morse together." ”
"Okay, let's go."
Crane replied briskly, picking up the coins he had won in front of him, pocketing them, and standing up and leaving the recreation room, leaving Leonard with a still confused expression.
Before the poet could catch up, Crane returned to his room from the hallway, and said to Dunn with a solemn face:
"Captain, I don't think it's clear what the haunting of Morse is going to do, and if we have to deal with the worst-case scenario, such as some powerful ghost, Leonard and I will probably ......"
"What else do you need?"
Dunn directly interrupted his description and asked.
"I would like to request the use of Seal 3-0782, the 'Mutated Sun Emblem', which is highly lethal to necromancers and ghosts, and is perfect for this mission."
"But Level 3 seals can only be applied for when a three-person team works together, you ......" Dunn just shook his head and refused, and looked at the remaining two ladies in the entertainment room.
The way he left and came back just now was not like a sudden reminder of the need to use the seal, but something like a planned ...... Which seal is he targeting?
Angel secretly analyzed, looking at Klein who looked at the captain with a solemn face, but put his right hand on his side, and tapped his index finger on his thigh, this action was only made when he was nervous.
"I'll go with them, Captain, so that the three Night Watchmen can act together, and they can use the seals to avoid the worst."
Seeing that Siga Teang on the side was eager to try, Angel took the initiative to fill in the last hole of the team.
“…… Yes, you guys work in groups of three, go and get back as soon as you can, Leonard, you come to my office and get the application, and then go to Chanismen and take out '3-0782', remember ......"
"No more than six hours, got it, Captain."
Leonard replied without waiting for Dunn to finish.
“…… Right. ”
Dunn was momentarily speechless after being robbed, and he looked at the last member of the team, Angel, and frowned.
"You're ...... today"
"Makeup, yes, Captain."
Angel also followed Leonard's tone and replied.
Dunn, who hadn't finished a few sentences in a row, opened his mouth, and his tangled expression made Siga on the side let out a chuckle.
The dull atmosphere in the room was finally diluted.
