As night fell, several horse-drawn carriages belonging to the police system were parked haphazardly on the lawn in a garden next to Campbell Street, and several police officers were intercepting pedestrians passing by.

After replacing the operator of "1-42", the official extraordinaries on the ground soon gathered in the sewers and gathered around the corpse of the "Apostle of Desire" Jason Beria.

The thug who ravaged Bakeland was treated to great courtesy after his death: a demigod and more than ten of the most extraordinary beings were all looking at him, and several of them were expressing "regret" for his death.

"He died in the sewers so inexplicably, and you didn't even have a clue to the murderer?"

The magnetic voice of the "God Songr" Ace Snake was full of rage at this time, like a storm about to erupt with earth-shaking energy.

"Actually, there's a part of the clue, Lord Snake."

All three of the Extraordinary were present, representing their respective churches, and Iconser, the deacon of the "Heart of the Machines", maintained basic respect for the demigod who had been fooled at a critical moment to cause the death of an important person, but did not budge in tone.

"When Seal '1-42' arrived here, the 'Apostle of Desire' was dead, but there were two people at the scene, one person and one spirit, to be exact, the former was a woman, and the blood stains here were left by her when she was attacked, and the latter was a ghost wearing a crown and black armor, who disappeared the moment he was locked by 1-42."

"So say, there's still nothing left."

Ace snorted coldly and said no more.

Duke Negan was assassinated less than 500 meters from the Cathedral of the Holy Winds, and it was a major mistake for him to be lured to the outskirts of the city by a false Apostle of Desire, who was tasked with protecting this important man, and finally found only a human skin wrapped in a stone and sunk to the bottom of the river.

Perhaps it will not be long before someone in the Storm Church of Cardinals will propose to transfer himself out of the diocese of Beckland, and he is in a very dangerous situation because of the large number of archbishops here.

This is the main reason why he is in a hurry to find out the real culprit, since the duke is dead, he has to give an explanation to the royal family.

"Can you trace each other through blood? What about other clues? The ice here has not yet thawed, there are scratches on the walls of different weapons, the corpses have obviously been burned by the Holy Light Energy, and they are sprinkled with tarot cards, so many people, do you have no clue? ”

Another deacon from the Storm Church was also on the sidelines.

Among the three extraordinary forces, they came the slowest, and at this time, they became the confidence to accuse others: You came so early, why don't you have any clues?

"The other party has the ability to resist divination, and all kinds of means have failed, and even 1-42 has not caught the murderer who left through a stand-in."

"A search has been conducted in the neighborhood and no bodies or other bloodstains have been found, and the police are looking for clues in the street above."

"Tarot cards? Could it be the organization that has committed many crimes recently, and that ghost may be the 'Grand Thief' Black Emperor! ”

Because it was in the process of cooperation, although the people of several parties were a little angry, the discussion was still harmonious.

The only witness, Leonard Mitchell, stood in the corner, staring coldly at the argument on the field, he had just crawled out of the frozen makeshift bathtub, his hair undried and dripping with water, his neck slightly tilted to one side, as if listening to something.

At this time, he is willing to be a transparent person.

Unfortunately, his new captain, Sost, quickly remembered such an important person, called him to the corpse, and asked for his opinion.

"The tracking of 1-42 has not been interrupted, but I didn't find the other two until I followed the induction here, which means that the other party has no less than a level 1 seal, or a sequence 4 anti-divination ability, at least stronger than the 'Apostle of Desire' in sequence 5.

"The woman who was attacked was supposed to be a 'mirror double', I've seen this ability, it belongs to the middle sequence of the 'Assassin' path, and the other ghost, the appearance is the same as the 'Black Emperor' in the previous Kaping case, combined with the tarot cards on the corpse, I think they belong to the same force as the 'Grand Thieves' in the Kaping case, and even the same people."

Leonard carefully analyzed, not revealing the secrets that another voice in his head had told him.

"The Black Emperor of Grand Theft? Can you be sure? ”

"God Singer" Ace asked with a frown, looking at Leonard.

He had seen the ghost in the newspaper in the distance of Kapin's mansion, but before he could get closer, the other party suddenly disappeared in front of him, and according to the judgment of another military demigod who arrived earlier, the other party has an angel-level anti-divination ability, although this may be the effect of a magical item, it does not mean his own ability, but it is enough for him to be cautious.

Moreover, this method of rushing in front of oneself and "exterminating" the assassin is somewhat similar to the fate of the previous "Lieutenant General of the Hurricane", who also died at the hands of unknown people on the way to escape after the assassination failed, as if someone had been waiting for him to appear in advance.

"It is almost certain that he also appeared in the 'Aurora Society' incident in Hilston at the beginning of the month, and like this time, the deceased was sprinkled with tarot cards."

Leonard replied, looking at Sost to the side, and the Red Glove Captain, who was also involved in the operation, nodded in acknowledgment.

While they were talking, two "Mechanical Hearts" came over from a distance, and they exchanged a few words in a low voice, and took out a silver mirror, which was "Arodes" who had almost seen Leonard's secret before.

The poet, whose expression instantly became solemn, quietly took two steps back, letting the others stand in front of him.

Fortunately, there were not many people who were in a hurry to ask questions, and no one paid attention to him, so Ace Snake, the "Singer of the Gods", quickly asked how to use the seal, personally touched the mirror three times, and asked aloud:

"Honorable," he paused, obviously not accustomed to speaking in this tone, "Arrodus, my question is, who are the men who killed this 'Apostle of Desire', and where are they?" ”

The surface of the silver mirror did not change for a few seconds, making Ace almost think that it was invalid, but then, the water rippled, and a magnificent scene of rich colors and like oil paintings appeared.

The "Black Emperor" wearing a black crown stretched out his finger, and a golden pillar of light appeared, enveloping the "Apostle of Desire" who was kneeling and begging for mercy in front of him, who had a bone spur and astonishing bone sword on top of his head, and the hilt of the sword was held in a slender and white hand.

Then, the screen squirms and switches, and a stack of tarot cards burns in the black flames, and the first one is the first of the big cards, "The Fool".

The picture vanished, and the silver mirror reflected the puzzled eyes of the "Singer of the Gods".

"Lord Snake, this kind of scene without specific meaning usually means that the other party has carried out anti-prophecy and anti-divination," Iconse took the initiative to explain, "The first scene is obviously the moment when the other party kills the 'Apostle of Desire', it seems that the two of them are working together, and the second scene ......"

His words were a little stuck, and he looked at his colleague for help.

"The tarot cards are supposed to indicate the identity of the other party, and recently there is an organization in the underground world of Beckland that uses tarot cards as a representative, and they believe in the 'fool'!" Carlson, who wore thick glasses, replied to his deacon, "And the burning card may mean ...... They fought because of the uneven distribution of the spoils? ”

Along with Iconse, everyone present looked at the thought-provoking member of the Mechanical Heart with an inexplicable look.

"Ahem, Lord Snake, it's time for you to answer the question."

Just as there was an awkward silence in the sewers, someone whispered a reminder to bring everyone's attention back to the "Singer of the Gods".

The latter looked at Arrodus with a nonchalant expression, convinced that with his knowledge and experience, he would be able to answer any difficult question posed by the seal.

"Did you ever have any disrespect for the gods you believed in in your heart?"

Ace Snake, who was calm and calm in the face of high-level extraordinary, suddenly felt his heartbeat pause for half a beat, and only felt that the gaze of the three major church extraordinaries around him was a little burning.

The sun is shining outside the window, today is a rare sunny day, and Angel by the convex belly window is not as beautiful as the sun outside, she does not sit on her favorite single sofa, but kneels at the coffee table, fiddling with the "good luck" revolver in her hand.

In front of her was a rose necklace that had absorbed the soul and extraordinary properties of the "Apostle of Desire", as well as all the evil thoughts before death; Hanging the "Hidden Holy Emblem", a citrine pendant that is shining in the sun; A "ring of madness" that can help her hide her appearance, but will accumulate all kinds of desires; As a last line of insurance, a "magic pocket watch" that allows her to be deterred by any flame.

Angel stared at the side of the living room as the intricately engraved "Storm Convergence" was loaded into the nest of the revolver, and a figure appeared in front of her as the door to the guest room was pulled open from the inside as soft footsteps sounded.
