After refilling the underground passage with the earth excavated by Raft and the surrounding stones, and dragging the baron, who had suffered a severe head injury, to the side of the road, the three of them boarded the mercenary carriage leaving the West End.

Of course, it was only Angel and Sherlock who got into the car, and it wasn't until the door closed that Miss Sharon showed herself and sat across from them.

"Let me make sure, you don't want to release that evil spirit, do you?"

Although he had just gotten the answer from the eyes of the two, Angel still opened his mouth to ask and confirm.

"Of course not, I'm afraid that guy didn't tell much truth......"

Sherlock decisively refused, and then looked at a pale Sharon, who only shook her head slightly, indicating that she was the same.

"I'm going to correct this," Angel said immediately, turning Sherlock's gaze to this side, "The 'pain' and 'despair' he spoke of are indeed my subsequent potions sequence, and of course, I don't know much about the hunter part." ”

She asked Sharon again:

"Resentful Soul Sequence 4 Potion, is it a 'puppet'?"

"Yes."

Sharon's voice was somewhat ethereal, as if she were sitting in a carriage, and the voice came from far away.

"In this way, he will not risk deceiving us on these basic issues, otherwise if someone finds fault and finds that he is insincere, he will probably make the whole matter public, or even report it directly to the official extraordinary, so that he can get another form of 'relief'."

Sherlock heard the two of them answer, straightened up and leaned back in his chair, thinking as he spoke.

"And the tarot card he provided, the 'Red Priest' card, probably corresponds to the 'Hunter' path, because he needs to collect blood from the descendants of Sauron and Einhorn, the ancient families of the Intis and Fossack Empires respectively, who were loyal to the 'Trenthorst Empire' in the Quaternary Period, and what they have in common is that they have mastered the potions of the 'Hunter' path."

So, I'm afraid that this evil spirit's "reward" for potions and path swaps is true? No, it could be limited to the names of these potions and the knowledge of the way to jump, and when he is released, he probably won't hand over the real recipe easily, and may even treat us as the first sacrifices after he regains his freedom......

What's more, the so-called Medici family needs to track down the "true creator" related organizations to find traces, and the latter I only know about the "Aurora Society", those crazy people who are elusive and do all the bad things, want to dig out information from their heads, it is better to pray directly to the "true creator".

Of course, there was a certain message from the evil spirit that did arouse Angel's strong interest.

It turns out that the "Assassin", that is, the "Witch" path, can choose the Hunter's Sequence 4 when promoting Sequence 4, like the defected archbishop of the Night Church, and the most strange thing is that, contrary to the promotion of "Witch", this jump path will force women to become men, that is...... Do you want to be a man again?

If he had heard such news three months ago, Angel would have been ecstatic and would have chosen to move in such a direction without hesitation, but at this time......

She stole a glance at Sherlock beside her, and was surprised to find that the latter had also quietly looked over, and there was no hidden worry in her eyes.

This made her somewhat worried mood diluted by banter, and when she was about to open her mouth to laugh a few words, Sharon's fluttering voice came into Angel's ears:

"Why are you still pretending?"

When the three of them meet at the "Brave Bar", Angel learns from Sherlock about his experience of meeting and working with Sharon, and has a good impression of the "resentful spirit" lady who once helped the hapless detective who got into trouble when he first arrived in Beckland.

But at this time, hearing Sharon's inquiry, she was still shocked. This first reminded her of the evil spirit that had ruthlessly broken her disguise, and then she remembered that Lola had warned that the Ring of Madness would not work on animals and spirits, and that she had lent Sherlock the extraordinary properties of the Faceling to play a ghost tonight, and that the ring was a real face under the cover.

"I'm sorry, but I still have some strong enemies in Beckland, so I'll try to avoid showing my true colors."

She gave a reasonable explanation, but out of politeness, she took off the "Ring of Madness" and showed her true face.

This is the first time she has been able to remove all disguises in front of anyone but Sherlock since she came to Beckland and obtained the "Ring of Madness".

From Miss Sharon's blue eyes, Angel could see her long pale blonde hair and a face far superior to that of the "witch" period, but the resentful spirit did not change his expression, just stared blankly for a few seconds, then nodded and looked away.

"Okay, I'll summarize," it was still Sherlock who spoke, he spoke very slowly, considering the words, "According to Raft Pound, this evil spirit should indeed have been locked underground for about two thousand years, and it is impossible for an ordinary low-rank extraordinary person to exist for such a long time after death, and he can't do it in the middle sequence, he is likely to have the strength of a demigod or above, but now he is sealed and isolated, and he can't deal with us, so he promises various rewards, hoping that we can help him unlock the seal." ”

"So, report?"

Angel subconsciously thought of this good method.

"It's a pity that I was once commissioned to help the new owner of the villa left behind by the Pound family explore the underground ruins, and in the end I blew up the passage, claiming that there was nothing special in it, only countless snake ......" At this point, Sherlock paused, as if he was a little afraid of snakes, "If I report this to the official extraordinary, I will probably be exposed to their eyes and subject to strict scrutiny." ”

It turned out to be this reason...... Otherwise, according to his character, he would report the evil spirit to the official extraordinary person as soon as possible.

Angel thought secretly, nodded and said:

"Then continue to observe this Raft Pound, who does not seem to tell the others, but secretly digs himself, and after the fright and injury of this night, he will stop for at least a few months, and perhaps not dare to continue at all. What's more, even if he digs through the passage, he will have to face the same problem as us - how to find the descendants of those three families and free the ancient evil spirit, I am afraid it will not be as easy as he himself said. ”

The three of them agreed on how to regularly monitor the passage and the baron who was decadent in front of him and had lofty ideals in the future, and then Sharon suddenly changed the subject:

"The money for the gold bars you commissioned me to sell last time has been received, and after deducting the promised commission, it is a total of 2,800 pounds."

She pulled out a new stack of gold pounds from one of the pockets of her intricate gothic dress and handed it to Sherlock.

This is equivalent to the extraordinary trait of Sequence 6, or a magical item of the same grade......

Angel watched with burning eyes as Sherlock counted the bills twice, and after confirming the amount, he nodded and put it in the inner pocket of his trench coat.

Reluctantly looking away, she suddenly found that the figure of the resentful lady in front of her gradually faded, and she disappeared in front of her, leaving only a fluttering word:

"Be careful lately, a demigod has come to Beckland."

It's really elusive, is she also playing a "resentful spirit" in daily life?

Looking at the empty seats, Angel guessed.

Sherlock next to him took out another gold pound that was not yet hot, quickly counted half of it, and handed it to Angel, who took it with a smile and carefully put it in his pocket without counting.

"Could the demigod she just said be the 'Lady of Despair'?"

After "sharing the spoils", the two were silent for a while, and Angel was the first to ask.

"Probably not, she was also chased by a certain force, and she had dealt with a few pursuers before, but the high-level extraordinary person behind her obviously came here...... She has enough experience to deal with the hunt, but she ......"

Sherlock's face was still full of apprehension.

"Are there any other magical items you can buy anytime soon? I can ...... if I'm short of money."

"No need," Angel immediately interrupted him, "I do plan to craft an extraordinary trait into a magical item, but the money is enough, you better solve your own promotion problem first." ”

She remembered that Sherlock's two potions materials had already been found, but they needed to be purchased from others, at least three or four thousand pounds, so she did not accept his offer.

"Well, feel free to tell me if you need to," Sherlock nodded, no longer insisting, "Also, you're tonight?" ”

"Back to the East End, of course, and then back to my own home."

Angel looked at the detective with a tired face, and suddenly remembered that he had gone to find Emlyn, a vampire wandering the Harvest Chapel, who was a pharmacist, the same as Darkwell......

"You won't be ......"

Sherlock looked away a little distractedly.
