Chapter 174: Dead Man Pendant
At midnight, the silver moon is full.
The prosperity of the fog capital is not inferior with the arrival of night.
On the contrary, under the cover of night, the city has many more charming scenery that is difficult to see during the day: the exchange of interests at the wine table, the oppressive respite in hidden corners......
These were originally part of MI6's supervision.
But today is something special, and at this moment, everyone's attention is focused on a special operation that has just been established.
76 Baker Street.
Aledon concealed himself, carefully hiding himself in a shadowy corner, his eyes drifting unchanging to the other end of the street, where a target on the key watch list was standing.
Looking at the target, Aleton's mind unconsciously recalled the other person's personal information.
Elizabeth, the deceased Anna's new best friend, was obsessed with the occult and the supernatural, and founded a society at the university long before her supernatural powers were revealed to the world.
To be honest, on the surface, there is nothing out of the ordinary about this girl's resume, even if her interests and hobbies are quite sensitive, but it is not very out of line.
The reason why she has made MI6 so important, in the final analysis, is because she and the deceased Anna have been too close in recent times.
Moreover, by stealing the other party's online communications with the deceased Anna in the past month, MI6 was surprised to find that the content of the chat between the two of them would be related to the witch almost every three or four sentences.
"Witch ......" Aledon silently chewed on this word in his heart, thinking of the dead Anna, his heart couldn't help but sink, and his expression became quite solemn.
Hours earlier, he had obtained top-secret information on the "Witch Affair" from Duncan.
Through this top-secret information, he has almost a full understanding of the girl named Anna who has died, from participating in so-and-so competitions in elementary school to his first love with so-and-so boy in high school.
Among these big and small matters are the suspicion of the cause of Anna's death, and the strange fact that Anna's body suddenly dissolved into a transcendent pendant on the third day after her death!
Had it not been for the fact that after reading this information, Aledon immediately rushed to a closed base and witnessed the existence of the transcendent pendant there, he would definitely doubt the authenticity of this information.
Transcendent pendants...... You must know that even the Neon Kingdom and the Three Kingdoms of A, where there are extraordinary forces in the territory, have never mastered the transcendent items, except for the Yuan Kingdom, the Corrupt Country should be the only Guo Jia with this honor, right?
Aleton's mind couldn't help but waver.
However, he quickly realized that something was wrong with him.
Now is not the time to think about those messy things, the top priority is to find a way to dig out the extraordinary clues in his possession from this key contact target, and the root cause of such a change in Anna!
Aledon exhaled softly, turning his thoughts back from the Transcendent Pendant to the target not far away.
Elizabeth is not actually MI6's premier observer.
Relatively speaking, the girl named Jenna, who is at the top of the list of key contact targets, is more valuable for observation and research, after all, her very abnormal behavior in the recent period is really worth playing.
However, if the flowers are planted intentionally, the willows and willows are planted unintentionally, and this Elizabeth gave everyone a surprise.
"I hope it's a surprise and not a fright......," Aledon muttered in his heart, and seeing that Elizabeth had a tendency to go away, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, but quietly set off to follow.
As Aledon walked farther and farther behind Elizabeth, his surroundings became quieter and quieter, and even the glow of the bright full moon became dimmer.
Elizabeth, who was walking ahead, did not seem to be aware of this situation, or she had long been accustomed to it, and she was still striding on the way, not at all afraid that she would be detected by outsiders.
Aledon, who was following behind, felt that something was wrong.
Perhaps because of the Skyfire incident, Aledon is now basically two hundred percent vigilant against anything that goes over, so when his inner intuition was touched, he immediately pressed the switch of the communication device pinned to his waist.
"Rustle—"
The busy communication sound is immediately transmitted to the ears through the earphones.
In an instant, Aledon's breathing was slightly disturbed, but it quickly adjusted to normal again.
He had expected such a situation.
In fact, on the eve of the decision to track Elizabeth, MI6 listed dozens of possible contingencies and corresponding countermeasures, of which communication failures were only the most insignificant.
Faced with this unexpected but reasonable situation, Aledon is not in a hurry.
But he became more cautious as he walked.
Time passed, and the two walked for an unknown amount of time, until the pins could be heard around them, and until the five fingers around them were hard to see, and Elizabeth's "click" footsteps finally stopped.
Aledon's expression perked up, his body bowed slightly, and the afterglow of his eyes did not dare to drift in the slightest.
Hey, why hasn't she moved?
Aledon observed Elizabeth's behavior, and seeing that the other party had no intention of making any moves, doubts unconsciously rose in his mind, and he began to guess what the mystery was.
But Aledon didn't dwell too much on the subject, for it wasn't long before another man came here alone.
Aledon couldn't help but squeeze himself into the shadows of the corner as much as he could.
Because of the dim environment, Aledon couldn't see the faces of the people who came, but by the sound of their voices, he could tell that they were not very old.
"Hey, the one in front, did you find anything where you came first?" asked Elizabeth in the aftermath.
The questioner's tone wasn't very respectful, but his attitude wasn't bad either—after all, as long as you're not stupid, no one will offend someone in an unfamiliar environment.
When Elizabeth heard the visitor's inquiry, she did not appear too indifferent, but replied lightly: "This is the entrance to the witch's market, it is better not to make noise, and not to do anything out of the ordinary, just wait quietly for the entrance to open." ”
Aleton's heart tightened.
Elizabeth had already established a connection with the extraordinary!
The questioner obviously figured out a little bit of meaning through this sentence, and his tone became much more respectful: "You...... Can you please tell us what we need to pay attention to in the Witch Bazaar?"
Well?
Instead of talking about what the Witch Bazaar is, ask what is there to look out for......
Judging from the current situation, except for himself, the uninvited guest, everyone has a certain understanding of the witch bazaar, even the group of latecomers who came here for the first time.
Aledon frowned, wondering if he had something in his mind, and pricked up his ears to listen to Elizabeth's pointers.
However, in the face of the second question, Elizabeth did not choose to speak again, but stood still on her own, like a practitioner of Closed Mouth Zen in Oriental legend.
"You—" The questioner was obviously a little unhappy, but as soon as his anger rose, he was quickly pushed down, and with a soft snort, he also followed Elizabeth's example, found a place to squat down, and waited quietly.
When Aledon saw this scene, his eyes couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and the conflict between the two parties and even the direct action was the scene that best met his interests.
There was no one around to speak.
Dozens of minutes later, two people came again.
And it was only then that the scene finally changed.
"Ding—"
With the crisp sound of a light and distant bell, there was a sudden light in the extremely dim environment.
It was like magic in a fairy tale movie, a door of light made of countless micro-rays of light, which appeared in Aledon's field of vision out of thin air.
Elizabeth rushed into the light gate without hesitation, and the other three immediately followed when they saw this, and after the selected four people all entered, the light gate seemed to have completed its mission and gradually began to dissipate in the air.
Aledon gritted his teeth and rushed towards him as if he were dead.
However, at this moment, an unfamiliar figure suddenly rushed out of the area that seemed to be empty, knocking Aledon directly to the side at a lightning speed, and successfully squeezed into it a second before the light gate completely collapsed.
Aledon could feel that at the moment when this figure squeezed into the light gate, a violent repulsive intent suddenly erupted, and he, who had been knocked aside, even flew sideways more than ten meters under the impact of this repulsive intent again.
"Bang-"
The sound of flesh crashing against walls was heard in the streets.
Based on experience, Aledon preliminarily judged that under the impact of this aftermath, he had broken at least two ribs, and his chest and lungs should have been damaged to varying degrees, because his breathing had obviously become a little difficult.
These are secondary, though.
Aledon looked around and saw that his surroundings were no longer silent, and the full moon in the sky had returned to its original glory, and he suddenly realized that he had escaped the strange environment he had just had.
So, he immediately pressed the switch of the communication device pinned to his waist, and this time it was no longer a rustling sound that came to his ears, but the voice of his familiar old colleague Duncan.
"What's the matter?" asked Duncan.
Elizabeth vanished and entered a special area called the Witch's Bazaar, accompanied by three unknown individuals. Aledon let out a deep breath, "In addition to that, the figure of the suspected Jenna also broke into it. ”
Duncan's tone became serious, "Where are you now? I can't find your place." ”
Aledon glanced at the damaged location behind him, and then at the block sign next to him: "76 Baker Street, my location hasn't changed. ”
