Two Lily Granger?

In the distance, Lily had apparently not noticed the anomaly at her doorstep, and she slowly walked towards this place with her head down, but "Lorota's" eyes were already the color of lava, and her lips were slightly open, spitting out filthy demonic words:

"Slow!"

The body of the other "Lily" behind her instantly stiffened, already pinched together, and the thumb and middle finger that were about to be flapped froze in the air. Then, invisible threads spread rapidly from all directions, wrapping her body tightly, and only then did "Lorota" turn around and look at the blonde-haired, purple-eyed girl with a cold smile on her face.

In the next second, bright yellow flames burst out from all over the body of the girl who couldn't move, and with a "snap", she disappeared in the flames.

"Lorotta" had already pulled out his revolver in one hand and stroked the "magic pocket watch" with the other, but hesitated for a moment and still did not press the crown.

The opponent is a "Faceling", at least Sequence 6, and the distance and interval between the flame jumps are stronger than the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 7 "Magician" possessed by the "Magic Pocket Watch", and he has no chance of catching up with the opponent.

Moreover, there was already a real Lily Granger's exclamation behind her, and she glanced back at the other blonde girl with purple eyes who was panicking, and reached out to brush her body, hiding her figure in the other party's horrified gaze.

……

Angel squatted on the side of the road for a full five minutes before the three night watchmen who had clashed with her hurried back to Lily's house, and she sighed inwardly.

"If I hadn't come here early and discovered the plot of that 'Faceling', I'm afraid Lily would have been deceived by her......"

In the time she had been waiting, she had already guessed the true purpose of the "Faceling" pretending to be Lily:

First of all, it is likely that the three night watchmen who are watching are the "Facelings" themselves, or her accomplices who have been lured away by some means, and even now, it seems that Khaliwa Dupont may have acted at the behest of this group, in order to find an opportunity to distract the night watchmen from Lily's side.

Second, the "Faceling" comes to Lily's house, pretending to be the night watchman if Lily is at home, and waiting for the night watchman to return if Lily is not there. And her real purpose is probably the missing Intis student she speaks of, Sherick Madan and the box he left for Lily.

In the end, the night watchmen probably also had the intention of waiting for the rabbit, but they thought that it would be Cole Granger who came to find Lily, so they also prepared special ammunition to deal with stealth, but they didn't expect to hit it right and really almost caught Angel, but let the "Facelings" take advantage of the loophole.

Angel, who escaped from the Nightwatch, had similar thoughts, and used the Faceling's extraordinary trait to become the only woman on the Nightwatcher's team, Lorota the Gravedigger, in an attempt to extract clues from Lily.

Unexpectedly, the two "Facelings" coincided, concealed each other's identities and bumped into each other, and even had a long conversation without discovering each other's true identities, exchanging a lot of clues.

This wonderful coincidence brought Angel's experience of being arranged by the seal "0-08" in Tingen City back to her mind, and she even suspected that she was arranged by Ince and 0-08 again, but she thought about it, she had not exposed her identity in Beckland, nor had she come into contact with Ince and his seal, in order not to attract the attention of the other party, she didn't even dare to mention them, if this could be detected by the seal, then she would have been approached by the Witch Sect and the Aurora Society.

"In this way, it is likely that the whole thing was a clever arrangement by the 'Faceling', who was promoted to the 'Fortune Teller', and perhaps learned about the arrangement of the night watchman through the divination, and that someone else hired a private detective to keep an eye on her, so she used a trick to bring the two forces together, and she fished in troubled waters...... These practices are a bit like the arrangement of the 'Esoteric Order' when searching for Antigonus' notes, and these people are not also members of the Esoteric Order, right? ”

She hid incognito on the street corner, muttering to herself, and left with peace of mind when she saw Lorotta and Borgia escorting Lily into a police carriage.

If this happens, it is impossible for the Night Watch to continue to use Lily Granger to "fish" anyway, and will inevitably arrange her to a safer place, and the "Faceling" should not try to get close to Lily again in the short term after this failure, at least during this time, her cousin is safe.

The only problem is that this matter has only been postponed, not resolved, and what exactly is in Sherick's box that the Facelings will rack their brains to get is probably only known to the Night Watchers.

"Esoteric order? Why are you asking them about it? ”

On Wednesday afternoon, worried about Lily Granger, Angel went to Baroness Savelia Langdon's house and met the witch of pleasure, her titular boss, who had been missing for half a month.

When Severia heard Angel's question, she looked at her with some surprise, and then answered perfunctorily.

"I met an extraordinary person who could change his face, and it was likely to be a 'Faceling'."

Angel said ominously, if he wanted to dig out some information from this witch's mouth, he couldn't do it if he didn't pull it out.

"Hmm, Facelings...... It is indeed the Esoteric Order, it is said that they have mastered almost all the potion materials of the 'Fortune Teller' path, and it is impossible for a wild Fortune Teller to advance to this stage," Savelia thought for a moment and replied, "You better have less to do with them, these people are good at hiding and calculating, and if you meet them, it means that they have already included them in the plan." ”

Angel agrees with this evaluation, the "Faceling" she met yesterday has almost achieved its goal, and if it weren't for the "Hidden Holy Emblem" that she has against divination, she must have been calculated by divination.

"Moreover, it is likely that the Esoteric Order has been co-opted by Intis and become an official organization, their ambassador was assassinated in Beckland some time ago, these people should still be angry, don't hit the muzzle of the gun."

Severia added, her cocked legs changed direction to make her sit more comfortably, not caring about the scenery under her skirt being seen by Angel, who was sitting opposite.

"Are you worried about my safety?"

Angel looked away and asked rhetorically, and at the same time solved the doubts in his heart through this clue, the "Faceling" who appeared at Lily's house yesterday was indeed for the missing student of Intis and the box. Even the dead Ambassador Intis was involved, and they did not use drastic means to rob him, probably because they were worried that the relationship between the two countries would become more tense.

"I'm just afraid you'll die in some sewer before I can take you to Lady Despair." Severia retorted unceremoniously, "By the way, you prepare yourself, at most next week, Lady Despair will be back in Beckland, and she wants to see you." ”

Angel felt that her heart was beating half a beat slower, although she had always had a hunch that she would meet the demigod of the witch sect sooner or later, but being so directly scheduled still made her a little flustered.

A demigod only...... Isn't there an angel under Him, Mr. Fool?

Reassuring herself inwardly, Angel quickly changed the subject and talked about Triss's attempt to escape.

She knew that this unlucky witch of pleasure had a lot of eyeliner beside her, even if she didn't say it, I'm afraid that the witch sect would have gotten the news a long time ago, which was the main reason why Angel didn't agree to help Triss.

"She's been so restless, it's a headache, but luckily we have taken good precautions, otherwise she would have fled from Edsak's side a long time ago," Severia said with a smile instead of being surprised, "Fortunately, it won't be too long, and soon we, and her, will be able to get relief." It strikes me that she didn't find you and ask you to help her escape, and that almost every watcher before her had been asked by her, and that we had weed out a lot of fools who had been seduced by her. ”

In fact, she has already looked for me, but unfortunately the "temptation" is not too great......

Angel sneered, her face was as usual, and she even picked up the pastries on the table and began to eat.

"By the way, the secret organization I asked you to find last time that believes in the 'Fool', has you gained anything in the past half a month?"

Angel's freshly swallowed shortbread got stuck in her throat.
