Chapter 132: First Communication

After leaving the prom, tossing and turning in the East End, passing through the safe house and returning home, it was late at night.

Angel went to the basement and carefully formed the ice with frost, and spread the communication potion obtained from Triss around the mirror to form an oval-shaped closed area, which used up about a third of the potion, which meant that the same communication could only be done twice.

The cold mirror quickly turned pitch black, and then the opposite scene appeared, and another mirror seemed to be placed in a dark and dark room, although Angel had dark vision, but this ability could not reach the other side through the spirit world, so it was almost impossible to see the opposite environment.

"Hello?"

She cautiously said hello.

On the other side, there was silence.

Could it be that this is the mirror that Triss has pre-applied with the potion, and she herself is not around?

Angel frowned and looked at the ice mirror, the potion around the mirror was rapidly evaporating, and the remaining bit was gradually melting, flowing down the edge of the mirror, like fresh blood, and when these potions disappeared completely, the connection between the two mirrors in the spirit world would be broken.

After waiting for a few more minutes, just when Angel thought that the communication was about to end meaninglessly, she glanced at a note with something written in the corner of the mirror, and due to the dim environment, she could only lean closer to the ice mirror to take a closer look, and read the words on it clearly at the moment when contact was interrupted.

"Sunday at five p.m., get in touch again."

Moving the useless ice mirror to the sink and letting it melt slowly, Angel returned to her study, pondering over the note she had just seen.

Triss must have prepared all of this, leaving the note in a secret room in advance, and the mirror facing the note, smeared with communication potions. This way, no matter who she gives the potion to, the other party will be able to see a note when she contacts for the first time, and the time for the next contact will be determined...... The medicine in the test tube can barely be used three times, and there is enough room for error......"

Looking at the tube in his hand, which was already missing by a third, Angel frowned suspiciously.

"But why did she go to such lengths to contact me? Can't you ...... face to face?"

Angel suddenly remembered what had happened when she saw each other at the ball tonight, when Triss was about to say what she was asking for her help, when suddenly it was like a different person, her expression, demeanor and words were completely different from before, and she even hurried off the balcony and left the person she wanted to ask for.

"Could it be that Triss knew that this would happen, so she prepared the communication potion and magic mirror in advance, so that she could still contact me, or anyone sent by any witch sect to contact her, in the event of an accident? But how can she make sure that this person doesn't leak secrets...... Oh, I remember saying that she had run away several times and failed, and it seemed that even she had little hope for this operation, just a struggle......"

Thinking about this, Angel decided to wait until tomorrow, Sunday afternoon, to contact Triss to see what the other party had planned, and then decide whether to contact her further.

Although she doesn't have a good impression of the real murderer of the "Alfalfa tragedy", Triss seems to want to deal with the Witch Sect at the moment, and even has some kind of power that can create "coincidences" and make her involuntarily become the prince's mistress, which may be the key to exploring the Witch Sect's plan to find Ince Zangwill.

On Friday, Angel went to the detective agency not far from Beckland Technical College, and met the private detective who had a bad face because he stayed up late for a long time.

"Miss Watson, my assistant and I have been conducting continuous surveillance of the target residence for the past week, but have not found the suspicious man you mentioned."

The detective, Raymond, handed Angel a thin stack of papers, who looked through them and found that they were records of all the outsiders who had been close to Lily Granger's rented house for the past week, with the time, the general appearance and clothing of the other person, and information about whether or not they had entered the house.

Judging by their age, most of them were Lily's classmates and friends of the same age, and there was no middle-aged man who sent threatening letters.

"In addition, in the process of squatting, we also found another team of people, who were also secretly observing the house, and following the lady's behavior, because the other party is also very vigilant, we did not follow it, and your commission does not include this item."

"Just in case, my assistant drew their looks, are they your private investigators?"

Speaking of this, Raymond looked at Angel with a puzzled look.

"No, I only entrusted you ......"

Angel took the portrait and looked at it, and immediately realized that one of the two rough sketches was the male "night watchman" she saw on the street outside the door when she went to Lily Granger's house.

The other is more familiar, it is Lorota, who once traveled from Beckland to Tingen City to escort the seal "2-049" to help the Tingen team capture Riel Bieber and find the notes of the Antigonus family, she is also a member of the Beckland Night Watch Team and is the "gravedigger" of Sequence 8.

When she saw the former at Lily's doorstep, Angel suspected that Bakeland's night watchmen were using Lily to "fish" in an attempt to find the mastermind behind the threatening letter, and now seeing another acquaintance watching her confirm this.

"I know them, this is the guy from the Side Villas field, they may have received the report, and they were also squatting to guard the man who sent the threatening letter."

Angel can't reveal the night watchman, so he fabricates an identity to explain the origin of the two night watchmen. Of course, this is not a complete fabrication, and the Night Watch does have the rank of Inspector of Beckland.

"There's a police intervening? So why did you hire us? ”

This explanation only made Detective Raymond even more confused.

"Because I don't trust the Cialas field, they are arrogant, they are inefficient, they don't bother to explain the progress of the case to the victims, and to be honest, I trust the private investigators who collect money and act efficiently more than they do."

"Oh, yes...... They have always been like this, the recent boiling serial murder case, the West Villas field has not caught the murderer for two months, and finally relied on several experienced detectives to analyze the identity of the murderer and the law of killing, only to catch the murderer The current one, several detectives who have made contributions have shared thousands of pounds of bounty! ”

Angel pretended to be bitter and vengeful against the police, and successfully dispelled the other party's suspicions, and the detective even took some rumors about the demon murder case as a merit of his peers, and bragged a little bit.

Of course, after the boasting, he still had a lot of money to collect, and Angel spent another £10 for the next week's stalking expenses, which made her already shriveled wallet even worse.

Fortunately, tomorrow there will be a gathering of extraordinary people hosted by the "Wisdom Eye", where she can greatly improve her finances if she can sell some easy-to-sell Sequence 9 recipes.

Mr. A's rally at the "Aurora Club" also took place on the same night, and it was obviously easier to get at Mr. A's rally if he chose to sell the formula. But Angel, who had just killed Ms. D and ruined the plan of the Aurora Society, would never dare to appear in front of this divine envoy, even if it was difficult for the other party to see through his multiple disguises.

————

"I didn't expect you to contact me so quickly, did you find out any news?"

A lavishly decorated bedroom appeared on the mirrored surface smeared with the potion provided by Lola Swan, and Angel appeared in front of Angel in a silk robe, with her black hair pulled up high, and a lazy face of pleasure.

It was late Friday night, and Angel had been busy all day making spells, potions, and special bullets before she remembered to keep in regular contact with the "collaborator", who would have been lying under the warm bed instead of making the timeless "video call" in the dark basement.

"Yes, I've heard a lot from Severia."

In order to show proper sincerity, Angel did not wear the "Ring of Madness", but once again used the extraordinary characteristics of the Facelings to create the faces that were displayed to the other party that night, and sat in front of the ice mirror and said.

"Very well, I'll hear you."

Lola smiled brightly.
