Elena will eventually die.

When the other party chooses to kill on the day of the salon, it is doomed that the other party will definitely die.

Malinda won't let each other go!

But definitely not now!

Because, it's not in Malinda's interest.

After finally turning the situation around and forcing Coster and Aemond into a corner, how could she let Yelena go so simply.

Similarly, Coaster and Edmond will not sit still.

They will do everything they can to get away with it.

The best way, naturally, is to 'convince' Yelena.

And that's when Malinda waited.

Only at this time, Yelena's death can be in her best interest.

Imagine what impression it would make when the lobbyists of Coaster and Aemond met Elena and the latter died like this?

Kill somebody to do away with a witness!

According to common sense, Malinda would definitely do this, but thinking back to Malinda's previous killing intent, Arthur was not sure.

But there is one thing, Arthur is sure -

"I've said that my 'psychic' ability allows me to discover wandering souls, and I can also take the initiative to contact them, as long as they ...... She's in front of me. ”

As he spoke, Arthur shrugged.

At great distance, facing Arthur's shrugged shoulders, Malinda instinctively took a step back and quickly distanced herself from Arthur.

The lady wasn't annoyed, though.

For those who want to go further, she will naturally be quite tolerant.

Moreover, it is also her temptation.

Arthur's heartbeat, she heard.

It's smooth, without any acceleration.

It should be true.

In other words, Arthur really has the talent of 'psychic medium'!

However, this lady is not 100% sure.

At the same time, she also knew that tonight's temptation must stop, otherwise, she would lose a very suitable partner.

So, after a pause, the lady asked with a smile.

"Want something to eat? Or something to drink? I'll ask Edwin to get it for you, and there's an auction in a minute. ”

That's right!

The auction continues.

Even if someone died, it didn't affect the second half of the salon.

After all, the murderer has been found, and there is a reasonable excuse.

Is there any reason not to continue?

Even if Malinda were to stop, tonight's guests wouldn't let the auction stop.

"I'll go down and pick for myself."

"What about you?"

Arthur rejects Malinda's offer and asks the other person back.

"I think it's better for me to stay here alone when I'm sad, and at the same time, in order to comfort me when I'm sad, you'll definitely bring me food back in a while, right?"

Malinda looked at Arthur pleadingly.

"Of course!"

Arthur nodded, got up, and walked out of the lounge.

The door closes behind you.

A door separates two worlds.

In the room, under the bright light, Malinda took another deep breath of her pipe, and in the smoke of the puff, the corners of the lady's mouth curled, and her eyes flashed with an inexplicable look.

Outside the room, standing in the dim shadows, Arthur also curled the corners of his mouth, his mind was tumbling, but there was no change on the surface.

Malinda chose to work with him not just to paralyze her opponents.

And also......

The identity of the 'psychic medium'!

The other party needs the ability of the 'psychic medium'!

'It shouldn't be a simple removal of spirits with such care! ’

'And ......'

It won't be as simple as one or two temptations! ’

Arthur thought, his breathing remained the same, still the same as in the room, and his steps did not pause, and he walked straight downstairs.

In the face of a lady like Malinda, Arthur couldn't be too careful.

This is true even if both parties are collaborators.

He had seen this lady's methods.

As he descended the stairs, a hint of surprise flashed in Arthur's eyes, who kept smiling.

The words that only he could see were beating in front of his eyes—

【Deception XP +1】

[Bluff Lv. 2: 2/5]

……

[Bluffing] has gained experience again.

Arthur wasn't sure if it was because he was dealing with Malinda or if he was dealing with the guest he had just had.

Or is it both?

Although Arthur can't confirm which point it is for the time being, there is one thing Arthur can be sure, and his skills can be upgraded through training.

This is naturally good news for him.

He is already talented and relies on his own efforts to improve his strength, of course he will not mind working a little harder and becoming stronger!

Even if I haven't figured out the [Mission] mechanic until now, the good news at the moment still makes the smile on Arthur's face a lot brighter.

And when he saw the acquaintance among the guests, Arthur smiled even more happily.

"Arthur!"

Scott held the plate in one hand and waved it at Arthur with the other.

"This is another fateful encounter!"

The young reporter exaggerated that Scott would appear wherever there was news about Arthur

In fact, it was Maltz who had returned and informed Scott, who was going to continue interviewing the 'new Sheriff of the Shire'.

That's why Scott came in a hurry.

He wanted to get first-hand information.

As for entering the salon?

Scott is in the name of the Shire District Police Department.

Arthur guessed these.

However, he did not expose it.

"Respect fate!"

Arthur turned around and picked up a glass of ice-free and odorless ice water to signal to Scott, then went straight over the young reporter's plate and walked to the corner.

With Brody's life cues, Arthur became more aware of how to choose food.

It's like Scott's plate, which is already full of food.

The egg tart, in particular, is quite tempting, with a rich fragrance that goes straight to the nose.

The Long Night Lady's salon has always been served cold, and only when winter arrives, some dishes such as stews or porridge are added to them.

And now it's still early in winter, and naturally the salons of pastries, sausages, chicken breasts, fruits and vegetables are dominant.

Arthur, who has his own eating habits, doesn't like fruit and vegetable salads, but pastries, sausages and chicken breasts don't.

Arthur took a bite on the egg tart, and the crispy skin and smooth heart made him feel comfortable.

Sweets and meats are really hard to eat.

And Scott looked at Arthur, who had already started dinner in the corner, and was very helpless, so he could only walk to the cold table again and choose food.

But as he walked back with the food, Arthur raised his hand and took it again.

"Thank you, Scott!"

"Seriously, I don't know what to do without you!"

Faced with Arthur's sincere appearance, the young reporter silently turned around and walked to the cold food table again.

Fortunately, this time Arthur didn't raise his hand again.

It's not that I'm full.

Rather, Arthur felt that at this point in time, he should eat some hot food.

For example: hot pot.

Cold food, after all, is almost meaningless.

Even with Arthur's favorite sweets and meats.

After all, hot pot goes well with sweets and meat!

The sigh in his heart made Arthur can't help but recall whether there is sesame sauce in Nanlos, and how to fry the hot pot base.

Of course, he didn't forget to talk to Scott about the 'rules of food in the consultation fee'.

Scott was naturally puzzled by this, but he didn't ask much.

Arthur, however, muttered under his breath.

"Food with good intentions is a good thing, it not only makes me happy, but it also helps me cope with the troubles of removing my soul – of course, they are far more important than money as food."

When he discovered that 'real food' can only be +XP, Arthur felt this from the bottom of his heart.

Scott, who clearly has the potential to be a gourmet, immediately lit up.

He could hear from Arthur's words that Arthur loved food and felt pity for those who couldn't afford the consultation.

If it weren't for such mercy, how could Arthur possibly use 'food' as part of the consulting fee?

Scott, who had a slight misunderstanding, looked at Arthur with more reverence, and just as the reporter was about to talk to Arthur in detail about how to improve the 'food rules in the consultation fee', several uninvited guests walked over.

Not a stranger.

It was the young men who had been targeting Arthur at the time of Brody's death.

Now, the one who was at the head was like an angry bull, not only gasping loudly between his nose and mouth, but his cheeks were red, and as soon as he walked into the corner, he yelled directly at Arthur—

"Arthur. Credos I'm going to duel with you! ”
