"You went to the bathroom to do a divination on the handkerchief you got from Jason's house?"

In the hired carriage, Angel withdrew her gaze from the window to look at the street scene, and asked Sherlock Moriarty, who was sitting across from her, in a low voice.

When the other party went to Jason Beria's house in the morning, she secretly took a handkerchief used in the failed demon summoning ritual out of Jason's house while several "mechanical hearts" were attracted by her.

Angel had speculated that the handkerchief would be used for divination, and that Sherlock had understood the purpose of the handkerchief when she went to the bathroom immediately after Iconse's departure.

"That's right, that handkerchief was used by Jason in the ceremony, and it was most closely related to his body, mind, and spirit, and after I ruled out the interference, I divined a luxurious building in Beckland, which has a glass greenhouse and is planted with bright roses, this kind of house structure is not common, but we will definitely not be able to find it for a while, and we will eventually have to wait for news from the official extraordinary."

Sherlock sighed with some regret and continued:

"On top of that, I saw the real 'Jason' in my divination, he was hidden under a human skin, and his appearance was slightly different from what we saw in the portrait in the morning, and combined with the misleading history of the seal 'Arodes', I guess that any divination of 'Jason Beria' would be located on the human skin, or the target wearing the human skin."

"So, the 'Jason Beria' who is now heading to the docklands to take a boat to leave Beckland is not actually the 'Apostle of Desire' who attacked us yesterday, but one of his helpers, who is just wearing that human skin and attracting the Singer of God, the Substitute Punisher, and even other extraordinary beings of the Orthodox Church?"

"There is no doubt that it is. Of course, with our reminder, the Machine Heart and the Nightwatch should soon be able to re-lock the true 'Apostles of Desire', but perhaps in the time that has been delayed, their true purpose has been achieved......"

The two of them looked out the window at the same time, and in the distant sky, an invisible hand cut through the rare white clouds in the sky, leaving a curved scratch in the blue sky, and the tip was pointing to the dock area in the southeast direction.

That's the trajectory of the Archbishop of the Church of the Storm, Ace Snake, the "Singer of the Gods", who was attracted to "Jason Berial".

"Bang Bang-"

The sound of the wind blowing through the windows sounded continuously, and a dense and fast air mass in the sky flew through it, and the wind tore through the dark clouds, swept away a wisp of haze near the ground, and painted white and yellow colors on the canvas on a blue background like an abstract painter.

"Hmph, that's stupid, and reckless."

In the attic, a pair of brown eyes looked out the window, and after snorting coldly, he withdrew his gaze, it was the man who had shed Jason Beria's human skin and become a real "apostle of desire".

The box containing the human skin at his feet was gone, and the other, smaller suitcase that also contained stacks of large bills and a few gold bars, he crouched down, carefully closed the box, placed it in the corner, and then sat on a wooden chair with his eyes slightly closed, sensing what was happening downstairs.

He doesn't have the ability to see through floors and walls to observe others, unless the desire in the other person's heart is high, allowing this "Apostle of Desire" to easily lock onto the other party.

At this time, a man and a woman downstairs were as bright as torches in his mind.

"It's really a strong desire, even if I am secretly catalyzing and guiding, it is too abnormal...... This guy can't have taken any medicine beforehand, so cooperative, it really makes me a little unbearable to kill you. ”

He muttered, his right hand diagonally downward, his fingers spread out, as if holding something in his hands.

Sensing that the desire below had swelled to the limit, the "Apostle of Desire" grinned a grim smile at the corner of his mouth, clenched his five fingers, and twisted it fiercely.

In a secret room on the second floor, a "Wind Favorer" sent by the Storm Church instantly sensed the appearance of danger in the room next to him, as well as the outbreak of spirituality in the attic above, he didn't even bother to open the door, and directly rolled up the wind and smashed through the thick wall, breaking into the bedroom next to him.

With a click, the door opened at the same time, and a blonde man walked into the bedroom, and the two looked at each other before looking into the depths of the room.

Duke Pallas Negan, who had been talking to the two men with great interest half an hour earlier, was lying limply on top of a naked young woman with his eyes rolled and the corners of his mouth drooling.

"Protect him, I'll go to the attic and catch the murderer!"

Seeing the situation, the duke's secretary, the well-mannered-looking blonde young man, immediately made a judgment, and then without hesitation, he turned away from the bedroom and strode towards the top floor.

The furniture and furnishings along the way retreated as if they were alive, making way for the Sequence 5 "Chaos Mentor".

It only took a few seconds for him to cross a distance of tens of meters, open the old door, and rush into the attic.

The other "Wind Favorite" who remained in the bedroom picked up the frail Duke and kicked his mistress away to prevent the woman, who was likely to be an "accomplice", from continuing to harm his protector.

Duke Negan recovered a little from the detonation of the frenzy with his Extraordinary physique, his heart was still beating fast and slow, and the blood vessels in his brain were as painful as bursting, but this kind of attack that could easily kill a low-level Extraordinary was not fatal to him.

He motioned for the "Wind Favorite" who was helping him to take off a necklace that looked like a conch around his neck, helped him hand it to his mouth, took a deep breath and blew it out, and the air flow with saliva poured into the conch, turning into an invisible tide, instantly pouring out of the bedroom and running in all directions.

After being assassinated by Lieutenant General Chillingus three months ago, the Church of the Storm prepared such an extraordinary object for the duke, and when he blew the conch, the sound of it would reach the ears of Ace Snake, the "Singer of God" in the Cathedral of the Holy Wind, who promised that he would rush to his aid as soon as possible.

After doing this, the duke seemed to use all his strength, leaning on the "Wind Favorite" and couldn't move, the latter directly picked him up, pushed open the window, jumped from the second floor, and landed in the back garden of the luxurious villa.

Seven or eight gun-wielding members of the Duke's Guard heard the movement and gathered from all over the place, most of them were retired elite soldiers, and among them there were even two low-order extraordinary. Seeing the embarrassed Duke and the Storm Church Extraordinaries protecting him, the well-trained guards surrounded him and acted as a human wall to block possible attacks from all directions.

The "Wind Favorer" gently laid Duke Negan flat on the lawn, put on a comfortable position, and comforted:

"Your Excellency the Archbishop is in the Cathedral of the Holy Wind not far away, and it won't take you half a minute to arrive after hearing the sound of the necklace."

"Tell him, you must catch him alive, I want to know who is dealing with me!"

The largest landed nobleman in the kingdom of Rune besides the king, the head of the Conservative Party, Duke Pallas Negan, gritted his teeth and said angrily.

Hilston, in a small two-story building near Joewood.

A "Night Watchman" and "Mechanical Heart" were busy in the living room on the first floor, some collecting suspicious items, some carrying buckets of hot water into the adjacent lavatory and pouring them into the bathtub, their eyes occasionally looking into the middle of the living room, where a tall man in silver-white full-body armor stood.

Leonard, who had dressed "1-42" with the help of his companions, put down his visor, walked to the coffee table with heavy steps, bent slightly, and looked at a quaint silver mirror lying flat on the table.

"Are you sure there won't be any danger?"

He put his hand on the surface of the silver mirror and looked sideways at Iconse.

The latter nodded: "Don't worry, it won't cause permanent damage to your body." ”

Sounds like a big question...... However, their reluctance to elaborate on the effect of the seal is understandable, and our cooperation is only temporary.

Leonard sneered, and instead of asking, he followed the other party's instructions and stroked the mirror three times, making the living room, which had few gas lamps left, even darker.

The hideout of the "Apostle of Desire" had been ravaged by the Substitutes an hour earlier, and by the time the Nightwatchman arrived with "1-42", the irascible Storm Lord had already left, tracking the target's location. Sost, who led the team, quickly asked Leonard to put on the seal, preparing to use the traces here to lock the other party, but he didn't expect the "mechanical hearts" who came later to propose another possibility.

"Dear Arrodus, my question is, where is the 'Apostle of Desire' who attacked Isenger Stanton's house yesterday?"

The room became quiet, and everyone stopped what they were doing, and looked at the watery mirror, where a blurry picture soon appeared:

In the garden next to a luxurious villa, a stout man with blue hair and beard was half-kneeling on the ground, surrounded by several armed guards whose fragile necks had been cut, and in the bright rose bushes, more vivid blood was sprinkled on the ground, and not far away, a naked woman had a broken skull, curled up on the concrete floor, and seemed to have fallen from a height to die.

In the center of this abstract painting, from above, lies a bloated man half-naked, with round eyes, torn corners of his eyes, and a face full of panic, having been killed by his own fear.

"This is Duke Pallas Negan...... The substitutes chased the wrong person, and the 'Apostles of Desire' were not on the ship in the docks at all! ”

Iconse exclaimed.

As the deacon of the "Heart of the Machine", the armed force of the Steaming Church of Bakeland, he inevitably had to deal with many nobles, and among the nobles he had ever seen, the miserable death of the man in the mirror was undoubtedly the most noble.

It is clear that the "Apostle of Desire" does not hesitate to reveal his identity to attract the attention of the official extraordinary, and the purpose of using his companions to distract the attention of the "Singer of God" is to assassinate this real person.

And in the footage provided by Arrodus, it can be seen that he has succeeded.

In full view of everyone, a dark shadow emerged from the attic window of the villa next to it, flowed down the wall like liquid, and fell into the garden in a hazy human form.

He rushed out of the garden in a few steps, into the street, and without hesitation slipped into the sewer beside him, disappearing without a trace.

The image vanished, and scribbled words appeared on the silver mirror.

"Answering questions, lying, or refusing will all be punished."

Too late to grieve for the dead Duke Negan, Leonard immediately collected his feelings, pursed his lips, and watched as the words swam and transform again, turning into questions:

"Is there a ...... in your head?"
