A warm and hypocritical exchange unfolds between Maltz and James.

Arthur, who had made a decision in his heart, restrained his smile, and his eyes stared directly at Cook behind Jaime - Cook is Jaime's deputy, a native of South Ross, of course, the other party can become a third-class police officer entirely because the other party's father was a well-known bounty hunter and accumulated a lot of wealth and connections when he was young.

It's a pity that the elder Cook was ambushed during a bounty chase and was hit by an arrow in the knee.

But thankfully, retired Cook Sr. is living a happy life, not only with a wife and son, but also with a farm outside the city.

The reason why Arthur knows something about this Cook is because the other party is the target that Maltz wants to woo.

Compared to James's bad reputation, Cook's reputation was much better—at least, for getting paid to do things.

Cook soon spotted Arthur's gaze.

The son of a bounty hunter may not be able to compare with his father, but he still has due vigilance.

The next moment, though, Cook frowned.

Because, Arthur was still watching him - under normal circumstances, when caught peeping, the peeping person would immediately withdraw his gaze and pretend that nothing happened.

Occasionally, the thick-skinned ones will smile.

But the situation where Arthur was discovered like this and stared at people was unique.

And, more importantly, Arthur had a serious countenance.

Such seriousness made Cook subconsciously look down - he suspected that his trouser chain was open.

But no!

The trouser chain is fine!

Cook immediately looked up and glared at Arthur, who he thought was playing tricks on him.

But when he looked up, he found that Arthur's gaze was no longer on him, but on James, and this time, not only his face was serious, but even his eyes were solemn.

'What's going on?' ’

'What's going on?' ’

Cook became a little suspicious.

Not just Cook, but also Jaime who was being stared at.

The sheriff of the Duo District naturally knew about Arthur's rumors, but it was precisely because he knew that the other party was a little weak-hearted.

'Isn't it going to be seen?' ’

Jaime, who had done too many bad things, and even came with bad intentions this time, thought in his heart, but on the surface, the priest of the Priesthood looked at Arthur with a smile on his face and greeted him with great enthusiasm.

"Hello, Mr. Credos!"

As she spoke, the sheriff of the Dirdium wanted to step forward and shake Arthur's hand.

However, Arthur refused.

The young 'medium' did not raise his hand, causing the priest's hand to freeze in mid-air.

Suddenly, embarrassment appeared on the face of the priest of the district sheriff, and anger ensued.

But before the other party could speak, Arthur suddenly said-

"Black and red mingle, and in the silence I hear the wails of the souls of the dead, who have crossed the ironwood bushes and are chasing your footsteps, when the ominous bird begins to pray, and it is the calamity that hangs over you...... Now, please stay away from us. ”

Arthur's serious words made the priest of the district suspicious.

The other party couldn't tell if Arthur was telling if it was true or not.

And at this very moment-

Whew!

It was as if the wind was blowing through the leaves behind the priest.

But there were no trees in the small square of the Shire police station.

And there was no wind at all just now.

But the voice did appear.

Cook and Jaime's bodies stiffened.

The two of them almost involuntarily thought of Arthur's words just now: 'They crossed the Ironwood Thicket!' ’

What's more critical is -

Quack, quack!

At some point, two crows flew in, and the piercing chirping echoed overhead.

The remnant sun was like blood, and the black crows were all flushed with a touch of crimson at this moment.

Ominous Bird!

Start praying!

Jaime's face turned pale as he twisted his back unnaturally, and then he took a step away from him without a trace.

Maltz even hid directly behind Arthur.

Jaime was not slow to react, and subconsciously wanted to stand behind Arthur, but Arthur didn't give the other party a chance at all.

"Retreat, retreat!"

Drink low in your mouth, raise your feet and stomp on the ground, and connect your fingers.

Under the strange atmosphere, Arthur's smooth movements immediately gained momentum that should not have existed, and scared Jaime to retreat again and again.

"Disasters are spreading—they are temporarily frightened, but they are still lingering, and the next time they appear, it will be time for them to take revenge."

Arthur didn't say anything more, turned around and walked towards the police office building.

He remembered Charlie Sr.'s teaching: saying that half of the legacy of the medium was the core of the 'medium' lineage, and that it was the same as improvisation.

Moreover, the effect is far better than expected.

Arthur thanked the crows for their cooperation.

He had wanted to scare Jaime first, and then find another crow to completely scare the other party, but who knew that two crows actually flew overhead.

'Maybe I can keep two crows as an atmosphere group?' ’

Arthur thought in his heart, his eyes swept over the [bluffing] that had increased by 1 experience again, and he began to count silently in his heart.

10、9、8……

When the silent count reached zero, Dicko's figure appeared at the door of the police station on time.

"Sheriff, advisor, there's an accident at 10 Clara Street!"

Arthur turned to look at Dico, who was running out of breath, and there was just the right amount of surprise on his face.

Looking at Dicko's appearance, Maltz beat a drum in his heart.

Broken!

Something happened!

Someone is dead, right?

After too many 'accidents', this sheriff has become a little accustomed to it, and once something happens, he will subconsciously think of his partner's almost curse-like 'favor of death'.

"What happened?"

"Dead, dead!"

Faced with the question of his own sheriff, Dick said breathlessly.

Really!

What was I thanking for?

How could there be no dead people in the places where Arthur went?

I didn't die before, but I didn't have time!

Subconsciously, Maltz's gaze at Arthur was filled with a kind of helplessness to see through everything.

Arthur sighed helplessly.

"What a bad day – to 10 Clara Street!"

With that, Arthur walked towards the carriage.

Maltz and Dick followed.

An auxiliary police officer acts as a coachman.

On the way, Dick told Arthur and Maltz everything he knew.

Everything that happened there, Arthur already knew.

However, there are still surprises -

"You say Jaime sent someone to keep an eye on you?"

"This guy can't guess something from the newspapers, right?"

Maltz frowned, and his tone became unkind.

The sheriff's gaze swept back, looking at the carriage belonging to the District of the Priesthood, and there was a coldness in his eyes—he realized that he still underestimated the greed of the other party.

This greed......

It's so hard to sleep!

You have to kill each other as soon as possible!

Do you want to change your plans......

Maltz thought and looked at Arthur, his eyes lit up with a question.

Arthur shook his head slightly.

When there is an unexpected intruder, the plan will naturally change, but only slightly, but the purpose of installing oneself in the Dirdor District will not change!

Moreover, he had to let the accidental intruder take the initiative to show his feet!

As long as......

Just put everything on Jaime's head!
