Chapter 169: Magic Mirror Psychic
Hugh Dilcha, who was about to chase him out of the door, immediately made a defensive posture, and only relaxed when he saw that it was Sherman who followed him in at the door, and asked with a frown:
"Sherman, you...... Extraordinary? ”
It was normal for her to have this question, and it was not something that the emaciated Sherman could do to knock the Barron, who was close to 1.9 meters tall and had the power to rush forward, unless he had also been transformed by potions and possessed extraordinary strength.
Sherman had a nervous and excited expression on his face at this time, just now he heard the sound of kicking the door from the attic, and quietly went upstairs to check because he was worried, just happened to meet Barron who rushed out of the door, subconsciously took out a dagger, and stabbed Barron with a "charged blow", making his own small contribution to this operation.
I am afraid that it will take some time for the tension caused by this sudden battle to gradually dissipate.
Hearing Hugh's inquiry, he didn't know how to answer, and subconsciously looked at Angel, who was half-squatting at this time to check on the fallen Barron, and after a moment raised his head and said indifferently:
"It's hopeless, remember not to stab the key next time."
Barron's life has not completely disappeared at this time, but the dagger is right in the heart, I am afraid that it will not take half a minute to die on the spot, although she can use the magic pocket watch to transfer the wound, or use the flesh control of the rose necklace to try to manipulate his body and repair the fatal wound, but even if he is saved, the seriously injured Barron will not be able to withstand the next questioning, and the excessive fear may kill him again.
Moreover, there is now a better "target audience".
Angel looked at Heras, who was lying in the middle of the attic floor, his chest and back wound had stopped bleeding.
"He's really extraordinary, besides, help me watch the door, I'm going to ask this guy a few questions."
She spoke to Sherman and Hugh, who were staring at each other, causing them to look at each other in surprise.
"Ask questions? But he ...... Isn't it dead? ”
Hugh asked cautiously, it seemed that Angel's combat power just now had suppressed this somewhat ruffian bounty hunter, making her tone a lot more polite.
"The dead are more useful than the living."
Angel said with a smile on her lips, remembering her surprise when she first learned about "spiritism" in the city of Tingen.
That's right, she shouldn't be a master of divination this time, she wants to be a psychic master.
During this time, the results of the study of the "Book of Secrets" include the method of using the "Magic Mirror Divination" to perform "spiritism", the former is a direct way to communicate with the spirit world, while the latter is to use the spirit of the dead person who has not yet escaped to obtain the information of the other party before his death, and it is mentioned in the "Book of Secrets" that the use of ritual magic can combine the two, and briefly let the spirit attach to the mirror for a simple conversation.
Of course, compared with a real psychic, this method requires a ritual, a quiet and undisturbed environment, and a shorter duration of continuous psychic, so he is not a real "master".
After driving the other two outside to watch the door, Angel took out the magic mirror he was carrying, placed it beside Heras, and then quickly created a spiritual wall with Holy Night powder, isolating the cold wind blowing outside the window and the sound of Hugh's questioning of Sherman outside the door, and finally rubbed the "Hidden Holy Emblem" with his hand, and whispered the name of the goddess of the night.
This matter involves a human trafficking case that she has been tracking since Tingen, and there are valid reasons to pray!
After asking the goddess for power, Angel connected the newly dead Heras to the magic mirror that could communicate with the spirit world through a spell, and the small vanity mirror quickly became deep and dark, and then Heras's slightly pale face appeared inside, and his eyes looked at Angel blankly, completely different from when he was alive just now.
"Heras?"
Angel asked tentatively.
"It's me."
Heras in the mirror nodded slowly in reply, without any extra nonsense.
Knowing the success of her "Magic Mirror Psychic", Angel was a little excited in her heart, and she was even happier than the communication potion making method she got from Lola.
"How did you quickly find out that Barron had been attacked?"
She first asked the question she cared about the most, and Heras arrived at the scene less than ten minutes after Barron was attacked, more competent than the Archbishop of the Storm Church who protected Duke Negan, leading Angel to suspect that he had some special way of knowing Barron's status.
"I used 'secrecy' on him, and as soon as he divulged about his work, I would know immediately."
Heras replied honestly, confirming Angel's conjecture.
"So, what exactly is your 'job'?"
She continued to ask the other person's words, so that she could ask the key content in the spirit that was being channeled to the greatest extent.
"We obeyed the order to kidnap and capture the homeless and poor people in the Eastern District who no one cared about, and sent them to a designated place to be handed over to another group of people. Barron came from Byam to take charge of the East Side gangsters in place of the dead Kapin, and I was in charge of his safety, as well as dealing with disobedient thorns, and that's our job. ”
"Orders? Whose order? ”
"I don't know them, but ......" Heras frowned in the mirror before continuing to answer after a moment, "The leader is wearing a golden mask and can't see the face, but he has used the ability of 'Judge', even stronger than me, and I suspect he has reached Sequence 4." ”
Sequence 4...... Demigods?
Angel's heart sank, she didn't expect that this matter would involve a certain demigod again, and according to Heras, the other party's potion path is the same as his, that is, the path of the "arbiter", and the middle and high order potions of this path are almost all in the hands of the military and the royal family, so it can be said that this "demigod" has either been helped by both, or is simply their person......
It seems that it can only be reported......
And it had to be reported to the three major churches, and if it had been reported to the police, it would have been as likely to be as shady as the kidnappings that Kapin had been involved in in the past.
Having made up his mind, Angel continued to ask:
"Where are the slaves hidden?"
"In ...... On the northwestern outskirts of Beckland, Tasok ......"
Heras frowned, as if he was pondering, or perhaps the answer was difficult to say, and just as Angel was about to ask a question, the Heras spirit in the magic mirror suddenly froze, and then disappeared as if it had been wiped off by a rag.
Angel hurriedly stroked the mirror, only to find that the "channeling" had ended, and the magic mirror had returned to normal.
"Time? No...... It's only been two or three minutes, and a freshly dead spirit can't be so fragile. When he tried to answer the position of the handover just now, it was like Barron who was being interrogated, and he wanted to say, but he couldn't......"
"Could it be that someone has given Heras the same ban on Heras because of his 'secret-keeping' ability? And more powerful, more restrictive, as long as he tries to say a critical message, even the spirit will be attacked? ”
In her mind, the demigod of the Arbiter Path that Heras had just spoken of came to mind.
If Heras was affected by the same ban, then perhaps the demigod already knew that someone had leaked the secret, and maybe he was coming this way!
Thinking of this, Angel did not waste any more time, she quickly put away the magic mirror, took off the rose necklace around her neck, pressed it on the head of the "judge", and "grazing" him in the silent roar of Heras's spirits, and then removed the spiritual wall made by the Holy Night powder, and let the cold wind outside the window blow through the corpse of Heras that no longer possessed extraordinary properties.
Turning on his vision, Angel looked at Barron, who was lying on his back in the doorway, and found that extraordinary properties had begun to condense beside him, and wisps of dark red gas drilled out from all over his body, forming a mass of blood clots around him.
It's about a minute or two away......
She used the moment to quickly use the black flame to scorch the walls and floor of the attic, as well as the wooden chair that had bound Barron.
The two people outside the door heard the movement, and came in one after the other, Hugh saw the black flames flying all over the room, frowned and asked:
"What's wrong? Need our help? ”
"No, we're going to leave, these two people are likely to have ties with the military or even the royal family, I'll try my best to clear up the clues to avoid being divined or tracked, you go down first and wait for me at the door."
Angel had thought that there would be an objection to the recess, after all, she had promised to give her half of Barron's belongings in addition to the 50 pound payment, but now was clearly not the time to search the house.
Unexpectedly, the other party nodded in agreement without hesitation, but Sherman looked at the dagger on Barron's chest with some hesitation, and left the attic at Hugh's urging, and quickly went downstairs with the sound of "knock knock" footsteps.
After cleaning up the traces, Angel quickly searched for the items that Heras was carrying, and to her surprise, the ostentatious gold-inlaid large revolver was actually just an ordinary weapon, with no merit other than perhaps worth tens of pounds, and the iron-black gloves that he had used in Kaping's house before, which could enhance his extraordinary abilities, were not on his body.
After hesitating for a moment, Angel gave up the idea of taking the golden revolver, even if there was a black flame and a secret emblem to block the divination, it was the most stupid mistake to take the other party's belongings directly, she didn't even take the few banknotes of different denominations that she found, she just put the extraordinary properties precipitated by Barron into a bullet box, closed it with a spiritual wall, lit a black flame on the corpses of the two, and then quickly left the attic.
After a few seconds, she slowly walked into the room again, fumbled under the cloak, took out a brand new tarot card, picked out "Judgment" and "Hanged Man" in it, placed them on the faces of Heras and Barron, and sprinkled the rest in the attic at will, before leaving satisfied.
……
Half an hour later, an unmarked two-wheeled carriage sped up and stopped at Barron's door, and two hooded men sneaked through the gate and headed straight for the attic.
After seeing a mess of attics, tarot cards all over the ground and two charred corpses, one of them couldn't help but shout:
"Tarot again, judgment again?"
The voice was muffled and angry.
