Chapter 50: Serial Murder Suspicion

On Thursday, in the Divination Club, Angel sat in her own small room of the "Witch of Fortune", drinking coffee boredly and looking at the unchanged furnishings of the Divination House.

"Recently, there are more than half of the people who come to divination, especially women, and even the divination room next door, which is very popular with female customers, has quieted down...... Could it be that the economic crisis caused by the defeat in the war was finally transmitted to Beckland? ”

Convincing himself with the arguments of the economic analysis column that could be seen every day in the newspaper, Angel came to the corridor, asked for a few copies of the day's newspaper from the front desk, and when he returned to his divination room, he secretly observed the adjacent divination room with the door ajar ajar, and was satisfied to see that the handsome middle-aged fortune teller inside was also looking at the newspaper idly.

Back in her room, she spread out a few newspapers, looked first at the Beckland Morning Post, and found on the fifth page an advertisement for the purchase of goods by the Ernst firm.

This means that tomorrow, Friday, at 8 p.m., Mr. "Wisdom Eye" will hold a meeting at the old place.

Angel is going to attend this gathering of the Extraordinary again after a two-week absence, not only to sell some "Storm Convergence" ammo, but also to communicate with the pharmacist Darkwell who she has worked with before to see if she can buy the recipe for the "Apothecary" potion from him.

After getting 100 pounds of "mission funds" yesterday, her savings have risen to 250 pounds, and the circulating price of the potion formula of Sequence 9 is about this amount, as long as she sells some of the bullets, she is confident that she can buy this formula in the hands of the pharmacist, and if the other party's price is too high, she can also consider selling the "barbarian" formula at the party and using the money in hand to buy it at a higher price.

Anyway, in the end, the Viscount Glerin will pay for it, and I can even add a part of the labor fee......

Happily planning, Angel flipped through the page and returned to the front page to continue reading the newspaper.

"Shocked! The real 11th serial homicide, and the West Villas Field is still helpless! ”

Well?

Angel's gaze shifted to the headline of the newspaper, confirming that he was holding the Beckland Morning Post and not the Intis Post.

Why does everyone like this sensational title now?

But it has to be said that this kind of headline does work, and Angel's eyes are once again attracted by the front-page news. After reading it carefully, she realized that this was a serial murder case that had been going on for two months, and some time ago it was said that there was an 11th victim, but it was quickly confirmed that it was a parody killing, and now, it is the real 11th case.

The police have regarded this series of murders as a shame, increased police patrols and searches, and it is estimated that they have also contacted the official extraordinary person behind the scenes, but nothing has been found for more than two months......

Could it be that the reason for the decrease in the number of customers in the divination club is that this murderer has reappeared to commit crimes? Yes, his target is always aimed at women, although some newspapers have concluded that the victims are all young women who have worked as street girls and have now found formal jobs, but who can say for sure that there is such a thing as panic?

"Shocked, the income of the divination club has plummeted, and the reason behind it is actually ......"

She mentally helped the Intis Post come up with a headline.

"Squeak-"

The door to the room was pushed open, and Angel put down the newspaper in surprise and looked at the visitor, but immediately a disappointed expression appeared on her face - it was Miss Lola.

"It's not that I don't pay for divination, why do you see me like you see a ghost?"

Lola closed the door, sat down at the divination table, put down her wide-brimmed hat, and smiled and quipped, her eyes moving from Angel's face to the newspaper on the table.

"You're also concerned about this serial murder? But I suggest that you don't try to catch the criminals and collect the bounty," she said with a smile and a serious face, "The true state of the case is far more serious than the newspapers have revealed, and the perpetrators are likely to be extraordinary in the middle sequence. ”

"More serious? Do you mean that there are more than 11 deaths? ”

Angel asked curiously.

"No, the number of deaths is not wrong, but the scene of the crime is very tragic, the deceased's chest and abdomen were hollowed out, and all the internal organs were taken away, like sacrifices at the sacrifice scene," Lola replied with a frown, it seems that this series of bloody cases has made this sequence 6 extraordinary person a little difficult to accept, "The police contacted the official extraordinary person in the fifth case, and also found a lot of famous detectives, even if it means that they bowed their heads and admitted defeat, but until the 11th case happened last night, they were still helpless and had no clues." ”

"The murderer carried out anti-divination measures?"

"It's very likely, otherwise how could ordinary murderers get away with it for so long, and they would have been found by an official extraordinary."

Lola nodded, affirming Angel's reasoning.

"This almost confirms that the other party is the extraordinary person of the middle sequence, even if the low sequence has anti-divination, it will reveal flaws under the seals of the major churches, and the other party is so fanfare, regardless of the impact, it is likely that he wants to achieve some purpose through these deaths, such as pleasing bloodthirsty demons, or performing promotion rituals."

"The ceremony of promotion? Is it talking about the promotion of the Potions sequence? But isn't it okay to drink the potion after mixing it correctly......"

Hearing "please the devil", Angel first thought of the evil sacrifice performed by Triss, the witch of Tingen, and the gray-haired witch of pleasure, but Lola's last sentence made her puzzled.

"This is true from Sequence 6 onwards, but from Sequence 6 to Sequence 5, you need to take the correct potion in a specific ritual to succeed, otherwise you are almost looking for death."

"So, what kind of ritual does the Witch of Pleasure need to be promoted to the next sequence?"

Angel cautiously tested.

"Hmph, you'll know when you get there." Lola's face was a little gloomy, as if she remembered something she wasn't happy about.

After discussing the headlines in the newspaper, the conversation between the two turned to yesterday's encounter in the salon, and judging from the fact that the Witch of Pleasure carefully avoided Severia's actions in the salon, the other party did not look like a member of the "Witch Sect".

"The one who brought you to the salon yesterday was your upline, some kind of 'joy'? It seems that the 'Witch Sect' has given you the task of approaching this popular viscount? ”

After changing the topic, Lola's gloomy expression returned to normal, even with a hint of joking.

"She's Baroness Severia Langdon, but the Viscount isn't my job, it's hers."

"Since that unlucky viscount is targeted by the 'Witch Sect', then I can only quit, although the baroness most likely didn't recognize me, but it's better to have less contact with those people. Oh, this corresponds to your divination, and Glerint is really not suitable for me. ”

I don't think there's going to be a good fit for you in the whole of Beckland......

Angel sneered.

"But I also joined the Witch Sect, are you afraid of them, but not me?"

Lola scoffed, "You're different from them, cutie." ”

On Friday night, Angel arrived at the meeting place of the "Wisdom Eye" with a special bullet she had made and a transcribed recipe for the "Barbarian".

Wearing an iron mask that covered half of her face, Angel was led by the guards to the living room with only one candle lit, and was surprised to find that the number of people present was nearly half less than when she had participated in the last party, and there were six or seven members sitting sparsely on the floor in the wide room, and the old gentleman "Eyes of Wisdom" sitting next to the coffee table in the center was a little alone.

Could it be that something happened here last week when I wasn't here and some of the members left the meeting?

Angel gathered her hood, found a single sofa to sit on, observed the members who were still in the venue, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the obese "pharmacist" Darkwell was still here.

"Let's start, the others shouldn't be coming."

The "Eyes of Wisdom" saw Angel sit down and spoke.

"Because of that serial murder case, the punisters, the mechanical heart, the night watchmen, and even the military's MI9 Extraordinaires were sent out to search for the murderer's traces, and even captured many extraordinaries who would not normally care. It's understandable that some friends are reluctant to go out and attend gatherings here. ”

He explained in a flat tone.

It turned out to be because of a serial murder case again...... Well, shocked, no one participated in the gathering of the extraordinary, what was the reason behind it?

Angel was "shocked" and glanced at the others who were still participating in the party, and found that the man who had solved the crisis targeted by Sequence 5 with 400 pounds, and then became an extraordinary, was looking at him in the corner, his brown eyes with a hint of scrutiny, a hint of curiosity.
