With a "bang", the winged body of the demon giant dog fell to the ground with a heavy sound.

Angel shook off the nest, withdrew the cartridge case, and looked around vigilantly after a quick reload, and Moriarty from the corner of the alley also came to her side, the two of them were silent, nervous, and alert for the follow-up attack.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that the various mutations in the demon dog's body gradually disappeared and turned back into a black dog about one meter tall, that the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and confirmed that this "demon" had come alone, and not that he had some kind of backhand.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the serial murderer who killed 12 women and was just one step away from completing the promotion ceremony, right?"

Picking up the discarded bullet casings, Angel asked, looking at the black dog carcass, which was still several circles larger than the average canine.

She had speculated about this during the battle just now, but she had not been able to fully confirm it until now.

After all, a demon dog has been roaming the capital of the Kingdom of Rune for two months, killing 12 victims before and after has not been caught by the official extraordinary, this matter sounds a bit unbelievable.

Moriarty picked up the tattered paper figure on the ground, picked up a spiritual flame and burned it to ashes, before replying:

"I think it should be it, this demon giant dog has the strength of Sequence 6, can transform into a giant demon, curse enemies with abyssal obscenities, spew high-temperature flames, various abilities are very similar to the 'criminal' path, and most importantly, why do you think it is here to sneak up on us?"

Why sneak attack?

Angel recalled the scene when the giant dog fell from the sky just now, and reviewed the actions and conversations between the two before the attack in his mind, and suddenly realized.

"Because we talked about it?"

The detective lifted the paper ash from his hand, looked down and picked up the cap he had dropped to the ground, shook off the ice chips, put it back on his head, and nodded.

"To be exact, we're going to 'report' it."

In front of the corpse of the demon dog, Sherlock Moriarty began his analysis.

"As far as I know, the 'criminals' pathway has an almost instinctive interference with divination aimed at oneself from the middle sequence, which makes it difficult for them to be found by official extraordinaries through common means such as divination and channeling.

"And after reaching Sequence 6, which is the 'Demon' sequence, they can also gain a special sense of danger, if you can cause a fatal harm to him in a short period of time, and take action to achieve it, he will perceive it and grasp the source of the danger, so that he can stifle or avoid it. This time can be long or short, usually within a few hours, not more than a day.

"Before today, although I learned about some of the habits and characteristics of this 'serial murderer' and made a summary, I did not participate in the investigation, but only assisted those detectives in sorting out some past cases, so I have not posed a threat to it. But after we talk here tonight, I'm going to hand over the clues to you, and let you report it to the official Extraordinary......"

"If we succeed in making a report, there is a high probability that the official extraordinaire will use this information to target it and launch an arrest operation against it, which will be fatal to it, thus triggering its ability to perceive danger. Maybe it happened to be nearby, or it came from a distance, in order to stifle this possibility in the cradle. ”

Angel picked up the conversation and added.

"That's right," Moriarty pressed the frame, a smile in his eyes, "I even thought it was going to target you as the thirteenth target when it first pounced, but there were two mistakes in that made me immediately realize that it wasn't targeting you. ”

Seeing Angel's puzzled face, he paused for a short time and continued:

"First of all, the 'demon' promotion ritual kills at intervals of more than three days and less than nine days, and two days ago, that is, on Tuesday night, it killed the previous target, and it is impossible to carry out the next murder today. Secondly......

“…… Second, you don't fit the characteristics of its pick-and-choose target. ”

Characteristics of the target......

Angel remembered the newspaper's summary of the deceased's background: a young woman who had worked as a street girl and now had a formal job.

I, on the contrary, used to have a formal job, and now I ...... Well, I'm not a street girl now.

"Are you sure I don't fit those traits?"

She asked curiously.

"Of course, I'm a master diviner...... Moriarty closed his mouth under Angel's serious gaze, and paused before continuing, "The target of its attack is obviously me, who has sorted out relevant information and will pose a major threat to it, when the demon dog pounced down from the roof of the building, it didn't even look at you, maybe it didn't know that you were also in this alley a second before it appeared, otherwise the two Sequence 7 were present, it shouldn't have rashly appeared and put itself in danger." ”

Anti-divination!

Hearing Moriarty's analysis, Angel immediately thought of this.

She couldn't help but look at the movement of the "Hidden Holy Emblem" on her right wrist, but nodded greatly and said:

"That's supposed to be its sense of danger was interfered with by my anti-divination.,So I came to the conclusion that the threat is only you.,Sequence 6 vs. Sequence 7.,It's a sneak attack again.,This 'demon' thinks that the battle will be foolproof.,You can quickly solve this threat.,Quietly go away.。

"And its anti-divination will also interfere with the view of the official extraordinary, and eventually make this murder case unsolved, because the target does not match the characteristics of the ritual, it will not eat my internal organs, so I will not be counted in the 'serial killing', it can continue to hide in the shadows, waiting for the next victim." Moriarty added, "So, relying too much on abilities like divination, it's easy to put yourself in unknowable danger." ”

"Is this your summary of 'soothsayers'?"

"No, it's just another unlucky guy with a similar ending......"

He replied with a smile, then looked at the demon dog that had been dead for a while, its corpse gradually condensed into a molten glow like lava in the spiritual vision of the two, which meant that the extraordinary properties were about to be precipitated.

"One last question, what about its corpse and its extraordinary properties?"

Looking at the properties that were about to condense and form, Angel felt a little headache.

There is no doubt that after the sound of gunfire and fighting, the residents of the neighborhood will soon report the crime, and then the police will find the body of this black dog that is obviously different from ordinary dogs, and combined with the laneway damaged by various extraordinary abilities, the case will be handed over to the corresponding official extraordinary person.

After the death of the demon dog, its anti-divination should not continue to take effect, and the official extraordinary person will easily conclude that the dog is the murderer of the serial murder, and the next question is Angel and Moriarty.

"There is a £2,000 bounty on the police for serial killings, and if we drag the body to the police station in the open, ask them to confirm with the official extraordinary, we should be able to get most, if not all, of the bounty, but ......"

The more Moriarty spoke, the lower his voice became.

However, my current identity simply does not stand up to investigation, and it is obviously impossible for me to claim the reward either by the name "Erin Watson" by the Archives Bureau or by the name of "Angel Granger".

Angel pondered, looking at Moriarty, who was also frowning, and guessed that the other party might have similar concerns.

"Sherlock Moriarty" is also a fake identity? He is even more suspicious of such a pseudonym, as far as I know, in this world, not even Russell the Great has copied the story of Sherlock Holmes......

With a snap, Moriarty snapped his fingers and summoned Angel's eyes, which were gradually losing focus due to his obsessive thinking.

"In short, I personally can only give up this generous bounty, and if you have someone you can trust, you can consider letting him take the initiative to report the crime and become the first discoverer of the 'demon' death scene, maybe you can get a small part of the bounty." He looked at the extraordinary properties that had been condensed and formed next to the corpse of the demon dog, which were already visible to the naked eye, and said, "As for this extraordinary characteristic......

Angel also looked at the extraordinary properties that gradually revealed their true face, it was only the size of a thumb, it looked like a fully enclosed glass test tube, and there was dark red magma surging inside, and after staring at it for less than a second, she felt the filth in her ears.

This extraordinary piece of gold, worth a thousand gold, lay quietly in front of the two of them.
