In the dimly lit and empty room, the wind was gusting, and the handsome young man and the strange puppet were talking in a low voice.

"You like that kid?"

"You want to help him?"

"Well, I'll always agree to your request."

Arthur's voice was as gentle as his eyes.

Every time there was a pause in the words, the tips of his fingertips would run over the ends of the eerie puppet's hair.

It looks like he's treating his sister who is spoiling.。

The strange puppet sound could not be heard, but Maltz thought it was.

Moreover, this third-level police officer inexplicably feels that this weird doll is much kinder than Arthur, at least it should be a good doll.

It's just a little ugly.

Thinking this in his heart, Maltz immediately shook his head.

Compared with the existence of ugly appearances but kindness at heart, those well-dressed and sanctimonious on the surface, but secretly male thieves and female prostitutes, the former is undoubtedly worthy of respect.

Especially......

This being is not yet human.

"I beg your pardon for being overthinking, Ms. Anna."

The third-class constable saluted respectfully with a loud voice.

Maltz is really respected.

It's also true......

Fear.

This Sergeant III, who had lived through the Seven Years' War, knew too many things that young people didn't know, or had mistaken for rumors.

Therefore, he knows very well what attitude he should use to face the weird puppet that is not human.

Even if the other party has shown kindness before!

In the past, he was also reluctant to get too close to Arthur as a psychic because of some things he had experienced, and he was even more reluctant to participate in the bad things caused by the position of sheriff in the Shire District.

But now, the two sides have the intention to cooperate, and naturally it needs to change.

Maltz's thinking and change, the patrol officers outside the door, Wiggins and Scott did not know.

They had all heard Maltz's loud voice just now.

The patrolmen were a little puzzled.

Aren't there two men in the room? How come there is still a lady.

Wiggins, on the other hand, looked uneasily into the room.

The survival wisdom on the street made him subconsciously choose to stay away,

Scott remains curious and enthusiastic.

For the magical, unknown world, Scott, as a journalist, has always had an unimaginable passion.

And in the room, Maltz, who straightened up, walked quickly to Arthur's side, and said in a low voice-

"Würth, one of the three sheriffs of the docklands, was the one who ordered Joseph to come, and he was also imperative to the position of sheriff of the Shire."

Arthur remained silent, his eyes lowered.

He wasn't surprised that Maltz said the name of the person behind him.

But just now, as Maltz shouted a greeting, a text flashed in front of his eyes.

【Deception XP +1】

[Bluff Lv. 2: 1/5]

……

'Is that okay?' ’

Arthur was full of surprise, but now was not the time to think about it, he should focus more on what was in front of him.

For example: Würth!

Soon, this name, Arthur quickly found in the memory of his predecessor.

Unlike the New Town, Old Town, Duo District, and Shire District, each of which has only one sheriff, the Yamato trade characteristics of the docklands allow it to have three sheriffs.

Of the three sheriffs, Würth was the youngest and most ambitious, and he was tough on everything.

The other two sheriffs were also happy to be idle, and threw their things to Würth.

It's just that things, the benefits that should be there, will not be less.

Therefore, it is reasonable that Würth does the most things in the docklands, and has the same money as the other two sheriffs, and the other party wants to come to the Shire.

No!

It should be said that the remaining six sheriffs all want to come to the Shire.

After all, the prosperity of the Shire district is the most prosperous in South Los Angeles.

Earnings, too.

"I need more support that will allow us to work together."

Arthur did not speak of evidence, but of cooperation.

It seemed that the essence was to ask for more evidence to prove that Würth had appointed Joseph, but Maltz knew that Arthur wanted more than that.

What Arthur wants, his attitude!

Or rather......

Sincerity!

A sincerity that will not betray!

Call!

The third-class constable took a deep breath.

Now that the decision has been made to cooperate, Maltz no longer hesitates.

"I'll get ready right away, and I'll be able to do it in an hour at most!"

Maltz made a promise.

At this time, the third-class police officer had a straight body, his eyes were sharp and determined, and he seemed to have returned to his youthful days.

That's when he faced the West Coast cavalry with his arquebus!

At that time, his instructor told him not to panic, they just need to aim at those bitch enemies, pull the trigger, and kill each other.

Kill each other and they'll survive.

Otherwise, without the protection of the large phalanx of spearmen, they will be trampled into pulp.

That time, he survived and became the only one of the lucky ones left.

This time, he is going to survive as well.

He's going to face the onrushing enemy and pull the trigger!

Since you don't want me to retire in peace, then you can let me all die!" ’

'Kill you, and I'll retire the same!' ’

Maltz thought.

Arthur looked at Maltz with surprise in his eyes.

In the past, this third-class police officer was always dull and weak, as if anyone could bully.

And now, the temperament is completely different.

It's not as sharp as a young man, like an unsheathed sword.

On the contrary, like a wolf, a wolf king who was expelled from the wolf pack, should have died of hunger and illness, but who knew that the other party unexpectedly found a steady stream of food on the highway and lived like this.

Not only is he alive, but he is stronger than before.

Arthur didn't mind at all about that.

Because, he knows who the stronger opponent will shoot.

Würth!

It is precisely because of the existence of Würth that the two sides have now cooperated.

Arthur, who has a great need for XP, naturally wants this cooperation to continue.

Of course, if one of the Shire sheriffs became friends......

It's also pretty good.

So, Arthur didn't hesitate.

He patted Anna on the back as if to comfort her.

"I'll help them!"

With that, Arthur looked at Maltz and told him the address.

14 Kirk Street.

……

Wow wow!

Graham climbed through the window and returned to 14 Kirk Street, and when he raised his hand to pull out the cloth that had gagged the baby's mouth, the baby immediately let out a cry.

Graham ignored this.

He believed no one would hear.

A family of four at 14 Kirk Street has been used by him as material.

And the neighbors around?

Good soundproofing and 'good quality' keep them out of sight.

Of course, just in case, Gram was naturally prepared-

The last selected baby is placed at the end of a ritual depicted in blood, and then the secret incense is turned on.

The fragrance is pervasive.

Immediately, the baby stopped crying and fell into a deep sleep.

Gramm's mind became calmer and his mind became active.

In order not to waste these aromas, Graham immediately began to meditate.

But Gramm, who was supposed to start meditating smoothly, was unable to enter the state for a long time.

Three times in a row, for two hours, Graham failed.

Suddenly, the eyes of this mysterious person turned gloomy.

"Siudik! West Udick! ”

Gram muttered the name coldly.

He knew very well that it was because of his resentment towards Siudik that prevented him from meditating.

Obviously, the two of them cooperated to get the [Helke Silver Medicine] and a page of [Helke Notes], but Siudik, the bastard, actually ran away with the [Helke Silver Medicine].

Fortunately, he didn't believe the other party at all, so he kept a hand and got the [Herke Notes] in advance.

Otherwise, he will spend the rest of his life in endless remorse.

But still full of resentment!

You must know that it is [Herck Silver Medicine]!

A mere page of [Helke Notes] is nothing compared to it.

Even after his translation, it was concluded that the 'Hand of Nothingness' recorded above was somewhat different from the ordinary 'Hand of Nothingness', but in his heart, it was still the [Herke Silver Medicine] precious.

"Mine! It's all mine! ”

"Don't think that Arthur is taking advantage of that. Credos will be able to escape under the guise of this! ”

Gram snorted coldly.

He knew too well the cunning of Siudik.

The other party must have planned everything a long time ago, using Arthur. Credos came to attract him and their attention, and if he hadn't found out earlier, they would have been able to hide from the world.

It's not too late, though!

Although Siudik must have left South Los, wait until he kills that Arthur. Credos, a person who has a lot of relationship with the other party, uses Arthur. If the blood and head of Credos are divined, they will definitely be able to find each other.

"Hmph, Arthur. Credos! ”

At the thought of Arthur, Gramm, who thought that it was the defeat that led to his defeat, became more and more angry.

He tore off the cloak that shrouded his body.

Suddenly, a thin body, without a trace of fat, like a dried corpse, appeared in the mirror of the hall.

Staring at himself in the mirror, Gram was not in a hurry.

Because, he was lucky!

He had found five families in South Los that were fully in line with the 'Ritual of Blood'.

Soon, by midnight today, he will be able to borrow the ritual to return to normal.

Not only is the body back to normal, but the strength is also back to normal!

You can even exceed it by one point!

When the time comes, he will get back everything he has lost.

Thinking of this, Gram laughed out loud.

"Hahaha!"

Syllable!

Syllable! Syllable!

In the midst of laughter, there was the sound of ceramic jars shattering.

More than one, continuously.

At the same time, a strange smell entered the room, and the tip of Gramm's nose moved slightly.

The next moment, his face changed drastically.
