Chapter 118, Cobwebs
"I don't think we have met yet, except for today, of course" Ouyang Dao was relieved in the face of the huntress's sudden question. He didn't even turn his head to look at her as he spoke, but he kept packing up his tools as if he were preparing for a new sculpture.
"When I see you, there's a strange sense of familiarity, are you sure we haven't seen each other before?" Ouyang Dao paused, "Maybe we've met before," Ouyang Dao said, touching his chin. "You're a hunter, it's normal to remember other people's faces" he said with a smile to himself "I'm always absent-minded and sometimes forget what I'm doing"
The Huntress nodded and quickly left the sculpture gallery. Ouyang Dao looked at his back and said, "The five senses are magical, I saw them briefly a few days ago, and I still remember them" Just when the huntress was about to turn, a row of people with turbans suddenly ran over from a distance, and Ouyang Dao was about to close the door, quietly looking at the new hunter.
The hunters of these squads look young because their strength is more terrifying, four of them are only suitable for beginners, and the stronger ones are not even halfway through. Just graduated from hunter school.
For Ouyang Dao, it was easy to judge. Are unions so short of manpower? These novice hunters may not be able to defeat the average experienced member of the community. After seeing the huntress, the team of novice hunters immediately surrounded it, but the huntress also had solemn expressions on their faces.
Ouyang Dao was about 100 meters away from them, and his voice was barely audible, except for saying something about detection tools, energy fluctuations, and residues, but Ouyang Dao could see the excited expression on his face. After a while, the huntress returned, and a small team of huntress followed her, smiling at the huntress Ouyang Dao again. Sorry, Mr. Mauritius. I'm still going to have to go to your gallery and do a thorough search. We got the news that someone saw a mysterious man come in last night "Did anyone see huka?"
Ouyang Dao looked at his eyes and was about to leave, when he noticed a mysterious person entering the sculpture hall at night, but when he arrived, the sun had not yet risen. As for the mysterious man entering the stadium at night, it should be fake news, because the construction worker did not sleep last night, and even if he did, it was impossible for the intruder to attack with the instinct of a dragon.
The entire arena was built by the Nocturnal Dragon, and in the sculpture hall filled with their creations, the Nocturnal Dragon was as comfortable as in its own domain, and even if there was an invasion of the main force, it was impossible to enter and exit without making a sound. Since the intruder is a false alarm, what are the hunters entering the sculpture gallery for?
Ouyang Dao walked in front, thinking, when a light suddenly flashed from behind, attracting Ouyang Dao's attention. It was given by a new young hunter. Something must have reflected the sunlight into Ouyang Dao's eyes. Ouyang Dao led the hunters on, but words that he barely heard came to his mind, and Ouyang Dao guessed the golden light in the other party's arms.
"By the way, would you like some tea? I have some black tea that Smith gave me. "Listen to him talk about the health benefits of drinking more," Ouyang Dao said, and they parked their car in the hall on one side of the large wooden table where Ouyang Dao worked, and on the table, in addition to the tools he had just bought, there was also a rather delicate ceramic teapot on the table.
"No, no, the black tea that was shot at you should be very precious, your physique is not good, you should drink more," the huntress replied with a faint smile, the young hunter behind her looked pity, this was the first time they had heard of black tea, it could improve people's health, apparently using some precious alchemy materials.
"It's not a rare breed, Smith, there are many more out there, you've been working for a long time, this tea is refreshing to drink," said the young hunters, each with a different expression, the lively hunters looked at the huntress expectantly, Ouyang Dao smiled and sent out an invitation.
"No, we are hunters, this level of investigation is not enough to tire us out, Mr. Mauritius, the mysterious man who broke into the sculpture gallery last night, is likely to be involved in a big case and the evidence will disappear over time"? Mrs. Hunter, you are exaggerating. Ouyang Dao said with a casual smile, and continued to lead the hunters to the nearby arena. "Time won't make the evidence disappear, but people will," said the huntress with a light sigh as she opened the door to the museum, saw the exact same scene.
"The sculpture gallery was empty when I arrived this morning, and it looks like your mysterious prisoner is using my place as a resting stop. "If there is evidence, it should have been cleaned up by the time the other person left," he said, Ouyang Dao stood in the doorway, chatting with the huntress. "There will always be traces, some crimes look flawless, but there is a lot of evidence left"
"Really?I think the crime scene is too clean to see Miss Hunter with the naked eye, I want to know what evidence you will use in your investigation?" Ouyang Dao asked curiously, and the huntress blinked, "We can't give you this inside information," he said.
"A lot of criminals hide it very well, and we need to prevent it from leaking out"
"Disguise, you wouldn't suspect Mrs. Mollie from the bakery next door, would you?" "No, I assure you, it's not Mrs. Morley next door, and certainly not Mr. Garrison on the other side, not my right-hand man, so you're accusing me?" Ouyang Dao grunted inwardly, seeming relieved. Then Ouyang Dao and the huntress watched the young hunters search in the arena, and Ouyang Dao saw objects reflected in the light. It is a pale blue crystal ball with a dense hexagonal crack inside.
If you look closely, you'll notice that three spiderweb-like interfaces intersect each other, and every now and then, blue dots of light appear and disappear along these lines. After about 15 minutes, four young men frustratedly reported to the huntress that they had not found any particular smell in the museum, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes. Then she turned to Ouyang Dao and said in an apologetic tone, "We won't disturb your art, we will see you again, Mr. Mauritius", "We will see your Lady Hunter again",
The two men said goodbye at the entrance to the inner sanctum. Ouyang Dao turned to his table, and the huntress led him out. At this moment, a young hunter shouted, asking if there was a chance to taste Ouyang Dao's precious black tea, Ouyang Dao approached the carving tool, stiffened slightly, and turned his face to smile.
"Of course, if you can wait a while, I'll go to the hot water, believe me, these black teas from the shootout will accompany you all night," the young hunter said, nodding happily, and when the huntress was about to scold him, she saw Ouyang Dao's black face, and she was about to scold him, when she suddenly turned to the magic lamp on the wall, with a grateful expression. "Mr. Mauritius, where did you buy these runes? They look much better than I did. "The little furniture was provided on set, and if you really like it, I can ask someone.
The huntress smiled and waved away, watching Ouyang Dao's corpse disappear with a strange look on the other side. What kind of black tea can you offer us? At this moment, the rune on the huntress's arm vibrated slightly, and she carefully reached out and pressed the rune to her forehead, closing her eyes.
"Smith did buy a large number of mysterious sculptures, supposedly spent a lot of money, locked in his basement, and the identity of Mauritius is almost certain," the huntress sighed and said, knowing that he had lost the opportunity to properly interrogate Ouyang Dao. When Ouyang Dao returned, the huntress said goodbye directly to her men, and Ouyang Dao watched them leave, holding a scalded copper pot in his hand. And in this steaming copper pot, a little bit of reddish boiling water is boiling, and the red water is like blood, disappearing little by little.
Outside, a young hunter, a bespectacled hunter, was checking the crystal ball he had applied for from school in chagrin, and a man who noticed unusual fluctuations in the museum's energy.
"What's wrong? I was fine when I checked it, but it didn't work in the gym" A few novices in the neighborhood didn't know how to convince him, they spent a lot of effort on the crystal, spent four or five hours in the city, trying to detect the anomalous energy, only to find this.
"The energy detection crystal should be fine, the owner of the sculpture hall we investigated is the problem" The other hunters looked at the huntress suspiciously, she was very good to them, it had been a long time, and he didn't have any problems. Why did he have a problem?" Do you remember the name of the neighbor on the right side of the gallery? The bespectacled hunter hesitated for a moment, then said in an uncertain voice, "Mosson Garrison? "Yes, Mawson Garrison, do you have an impression of the name Garrison?" The bespectacled hunter shook his head, and the hunter next to him suddenly said "Garrison, is this Mr. Mawson Garrison?"
The other hunters looked at him quizzically, "My family has some business dealings with the Garrisons," the hunter said. About 30 years ago, the Garrisons had a famous fugitive. It's a big deal, and although it has subsided, it's still the laughing stock of the Garrison family "Their runaway is named Mosson" "So what if Mr. Mosson has a secret story?" ”?
What does this have to do with the Mauritians?" The person who shouted loudly was a hunter who had always wanted black tea, and it seemed that Ouyang Dao's generosity had left a good impression on her. The hunter sighed softly, and then the newbied novice with glasses turned and ran towards the sculpture gallery, looking fanatical and impulsive. Zod, come back. We have no evidence that there is a problem with him. You will only expose us! ”
The huntress's words stopped the young hunter. He glanced hatefully in the direction of the sculpture gallery, and had to walk back in despair. If the owner of the gallery is a suspect, why don't we arrest him? The hunter who had just fallen in love with Ouyang Dao said that he was obviously angry at the scam.
"He is related to Smith by blood, and there is also a master in the Smith group, and we have to take into account the emotions and attitudes of the masters. The guild will not take action against the sculptor unless his background is known
"Aren't we here to protect the safety and justice of our people? Now there are traces of white wolves in the sculpture hall, and the master will understand," sighed the huntress, and he said in a tone that no one else could understand, the strongest men in the Lion City are the masters, and there are only a dozen of them, and we must fight for each and every one of them? The clock tower is one of the most famous landmarks of our city. Its collapse killed dozens of people, and the huntress gave them a blank look. Walking down the street, silently feeling the chaotic message in his heart, suddenly there were a dozen runevin equipment on his body, and the huntress let out a long sigh.
The power of violence, the availability of free rune tools, ambivalence towards master-level criminals, and the sudden silence of the Church of Light all force the hunter to imagine a pessimistic direction. After Ouyang Dao sent the hunter away for half an hour, a note wrapped in a stone came in, Ouyang Dao opened the note and quietly destroyed it. The note had a message with encrypted text: The first substrates have arrived.
