Wait, can you ...... that £600

Mr. A in the study had already turned his gaze, and Angel's unspoken words were swallowed back into his stomach.

"Very well, it looks like you've come to an agreement," his chin twitched under his hood, as if grinning, "By the way, this cat lady doesn't seem to be the same person as last time?" ”

Mr. A looked at Angel, his gaze under the hood was probing and scrutinizing, as if asking casually.

"It's just another partner." Dominic stepped forward and said, "What about that magical item you're talking about?" ”

Retracting his scrutinizing gaze, Mr. A took out a delicate wooden box the size of a palm from under his robe, opened it, turned it around, and placed it on the table.

Inside the box was a silver-white ring with an intricate but regular pattern printed on it, but strangely, Angel could hardly recall the style and shape of the ring as soon as he looked away.

"It's called the 'Ring of Madness', and it's a magical item formed by the extraordinary characteristics of an extraordinary person in the middle sequence after his death, and the wearer can get a psychological strangeness, even if they have seen him and are familiar with him, they will feel like they have seen a stranger, they will not recognize his true face, and they will not be impressed afterwards."

Picking up the ring, Mr. A demonstratively placed it on his left index finger, then removed the hood of his robe.

Under the hood is a plain face, with well-rounded features, but unattractive, like a middle-aged man who can be seen everywhere on the road.

He then took off the silver ring in front of the two of them.

Angel felt a flower in front of him, and Mr. A's unimpressive face became beautiful and bewitching, as if he had taken the "witch" potion, but he had not yet completely changed into a woman's intermediate state.

"That's how it works."

Mr. A said slowly.

It's much more "strange" than the description says...... When he wore the ring, I didn't even realize his extraordinary beauty, well, is it a bit of a ...... to use that word to describe men

As her mind went along, Angel suddenly found that she couldn't remember Mr. A's blank face when he wore the ring.

Based on this magical "psychological strangeness", she guessed that the ring was probably left by the extraordinary person of the "audience" pathway, and should be a sequence after the "mind reader", and sequence 7 was the most likely, and if it was higher, it would not be worth only 2,000 pounds.

Putting the ring back in the wooden box, Mr. A continued:

"In addition to this, this ring also allows the wearer to gain an extraordinary ability to actively use, 'Madness'."

"It can detonate the target's negative emotions or psychological state, make the other person fall into a state of madness, forget themselves, become crazy, and even make some mentally unstable people directly out of control."

He looked at the two of them, his mouth grinning gracefully upward.

"Need I demonstrate?"

"No, we believe you." Angel hurriedly responded, and introductions such as "stinky ditch" and "self-defeating challenger" tied to Mr. A's name came to mind, "So, what is its negative effect?" ”

The strength of a magical item is not only about the strength of the ability, but also the impact of the negative effects.

"As long as the owner wears it, he will continue to accumulate and amplify the desire for any need, such as physical needs such as eating and drinking, or psychological needs for talking and confiding," Mr. A said, as if he thought of something happy, and smiled slightly, "Even if you take off the ring, you can only stop the enhancement of your desire, and you will not let the effect disappear directly, and you must meet this demand that comes from psychological effects in order to stop the negative effect." ”

"Psychological craving? So not really hungry or thirsty? ”

Angel asked rhetorically.

"That's right, so if you wear it for too long, you'll either go crazy with hunger and thirst, or overeat and blow up your belly, and that's the negative effect of the ring."

Mr. A closed the lid, picked up the wooden box containing the ring, put his hood back on, and stepped forward.

He seemed to know who was in charge of the deal, and looked at Angel "Cat Lady" instead of Dominic the "Joker" who had been in contact with him before.

If he ripped my mask off now, wouldn't he find out that I was one of the night watchmen who prevented his Creator from coming in Tingen......

Angel subconsciously took a step back, away from the Aurora Society's divine envoy, and then took out the file bag containing the manuscript of the difference machine.

"By the way," she suddenly remembered that all the cash she had on her was not enough to pay Dominic the thirty percent she deserved, and her outstretched hand took it back, "this transaction, um, I mean, can you add another 200 pounds to the part paid to us?" ”

Mr. A's outstretched hand, which was about to take the document bag, stopped in the air, and his fair skin seemed to be covered with a trace of blood.

"Why?"

There was a moment of silence, and a muffled voice of inquiry came from under the hood, mixed with confusion greater than anger.

"We, we have no money......"

……

"At that time, I was about to break through the window and escape, you crazy woman, I didn't dare to provoke him!"

Walking out of the study and down the corridor back to the hall, Dominic the "provocateur" whispered in a trilled voice, his eyes looking behind him from time to time, as if he was afraid that Mr. A would chase him out.

Angel also felt that she was crazy, how dare she bargain with an Aurora Divine Envoy who is likely to be Sequence 5.

"Isn't this here to help you get money, I don't even have £600 on me...... But I must have been affected by the 'Ring of Madness' just now, which amplified my need for gold pounds. ”

She thought of a reason.

"(Rune sluscates), the ring wasn't in your hand at all."

Fortunately, in the end, Mr. A did not have a seizure and sent the two into a stinky ditch, but sent his subordinates to take out 200 pounds in cash, and exchanged it for the manuscript of the difference machine with the "Ring of Madness".

Looking at the newly obtained 200 pounds of different denominations, Angel guessed that this Mr. A may not be as glamorous as it seems, maybe he wants to rent this Queens house and raise a group of subordinates, and now he is struggling to make ends meet......

Back at the meeting place, the free exchange continued, but some of the members had already left the noisy hall, and only a dozen or so people were left sitting scattered around, discussing some occult information in groups of threes and twos.

The two returned to their seats, moving their seats back to the crowd to block the view of others, and hanging on the high place, but deliberately dimmed gaslight.

Angel took out 400 pounds in distress and handed it to Dominic along with the 200 pounds he had just received from Mr. A, watched him turn sideways, counted them one by one by the light, and then stuffed them into his pocket, and patted them pretendedly.

"So we're both clear."

He said with a smile on his face, and the nervousness he had just faced Mr. A had been diluted by the gold pound.

Even if he had been complaining that he could only take 30% before, the 600 pounds in his pocket at this time still made the provocateur show a satisfied expression. Angel took the opportunity to ask him how to attend the rally on time, and easily got the answer, so that from the next time, he could come to the meeting on his own.

"Every day in the Beckland Morning Post, if there is a meeting, the fifth page will publish a missing person notice, 'Looking for Mr. A', and the contact address in it is a reminder of the time of the meeting."

He just put his name in the newspaper like that?

Angel was a little stunned, but thinking that this Aurora Divine Envoy dared to hold a gathering of extraordinary people in Queens, Beckland, it felt that this was not an uncommon thing.

The two talked without saying a word, Angel suddenly felt a probing gaze behind her, she thought it was Mr. A who had returned to the venue, and subconsciously glanced back and found that it was the last two ladies to enter the meeting before the start of the meeting.

"Let's go, don't look at it, there's something funny about the kitten's face, maybe there's a powerful extraordinaire behind it, who will follow you back to your dwelling and burn you to ashes."

Hugh Dilcha elbowed Foirth Wall, who was laughing out loud, but unfortunately only hit her in the waist due to the height difference, but he managed to stop her friend's laughter, so that she would not wake up the next day and find that she had become the ghost of some extraordinary person.

"Okay, okay, but it's really cute......"

Forthth stifled a smile and followed Hugh out of Mr. A's meeting place and into the street where the red moon hung high.

Looking at the full moon overhead, she sighed secretly and looked at Hugh, who was looking at her worriedly.

"Let's go back, rest early, and go to Miss Audrey's tomorrow to get paid for this commission, and maybe you'll be able to buy the 'sheriff' recipe soon."

"That's 450 pounds, would Miss Audrey really be that generous?"

"More generous than you think."

One tall and one short, the two figures slowly walked away in the crimson moonlight.
