Near noon the next day, Angel arrived at Blackthorn Security Company at Zouteland Street.
This is Dunn Smith's arrangement, because the negative effect of "Magician Pocket Watch" lasts for up to twelve hours. Last night, she used a pocket watch to save Klein and beat away "Witch" Trissy at about 9 o'clock. The negative effect will last until after 9 o'clock this morning.
Fortunately, "Assassin" owns Dark Vision, so not turning on the lights does not affect her night life.
After greeting Rozanne, Angel came to the door of Dunn's office.
Before knocking on the door, the captain's voice came from inside:
"Come in."
Angel wordlessly pushed Door Opening in and closed the door smoothly.
There were no lights on in the office, and the curtains were Fell short raised. After closing the door, the room was dark, with only a ray of sunlight leaking in from around the curtains coloring the wall by the window.
In her Dark Vision, Dunn is sitting behind the desk, holding her chin with one hand and placing the other on the table, staring at herself with deep eyes.
Isn't this... the way to play "Nightmare" developed by the captain?
How strange.
Angel cursed and found a chair to sit down.
"Crack, crack."
Seeing Angel sit down, Dunn took out a lighter from his pocket and pressed it a few times.
A weak flame emerged from his hand.
He looked past the flames and looked at Angel with expectant eyes.
The latter looked back with confusion.
"Captain, what's the matter?"
Dunn seemed even more surprised than she was. After a long silence, he let go of the lighter and extinguished the flame.
"Are you not afraid of fire anymore?"
"Captain, the negative effects of 'Magician Pocket Watch' only last for twelve hours, and I don't think 'Nightmare' is like you..."
"Yes, I remembered that the photophobia effect should have ended two hours ago."
Dunn put away the lighter with an embarrassed look, stood up and opened the curtains to let the sunlight shine into the office.
"Ahem - let's get down to business." He sat back on the armchair and assumed his usual comfortable office posture, "After Klein's divination failed last night, I asked Leonard to go to Police Headquarters overnight. issued a wanted order, and this morning there was a news report that one of the women in the wanted order, Trissy, took the earliest steam train to Backlund and left Tingen City."
"Did you catch her?"
Angel asked eagerly, but then she saw a look of regret on Dunn's face.
"No, although Backlund asked the passengers on the same bus, some people have seen this beautiful woman, but she should have been alert, or simply got off the bus midway out of her usual habit."
"It is worth noting that her companion, the 'Demoness of Pleasure', did not leave with her on the steam train."
"You mean, it's very possible that she's still staying at Tingen?"
Dunn nodded. "Yes, last night when I reported this incident affecting all Tingen to Holy Cathedral, they sent the latest news about 'Demoness Sect's information, this Sequence 6's 'Demoness of Pleasure' is likely to be the successor to Madam Sharon and take charge of Tingen City."
"But don't worry too much. We destroyed their evil ritual and saved the lives of dozens of citizens. Moreover, her existence has been exposed and she will be wanted by all Orthodox Churchs. As long as she takes action again and tries to do similar things, she will be reported by the masses, noticed by the police, and arrested or killed by the official Beyonders."
Another wanted order...
Over the past month, Angel has learned that the number of Beyonder who have been put on wanted warrants can be counted on one hand. At present, it seems that except for the "assassin" who was accidentally bumped into and killed by her at Docklands, none of the other wanted persons have been arrested, and not even useful clues can be found.
Of course, if a Sequence 6 Beyonder is determined to escape, the possibility of being caught by the official Beyonder is very small, and Angel is also mentally prepared for this.
"Also, regarding the incident where you... picked up Mystical Item belonging to Machinery Hivemind..."
Seeing that the other party was silent, Dunn brought up another matter.
Coming...
Angel put his legs up, changed his sitting position, hid his left hand on the side of his body, and left Dunn's sight.
She quietly pressed the crown of "Magician Pocket Watch", and with just a little force, she could activate this Mystical Item and obtain the Beyonder Ability of "Flaming Jump".
It wasn't that she didn't trust her captain. When the battle ended yesterday and she started to check the house where Curse Altar was, Dunn asked her to stay alone in the living room to guard, while all the other Nighthawks entered the restaurant where the altar was.
She knew very well that Dunn deliberately left a room for her to "escape", which at least showed that Dunn would not take drastic measures to ask her to return the Mystical Item, or simply notify Holy Cathedral to arrest her, the Nighthawks, who violated disciplines.
Leonard should have understood and acquiesced to this behavior, Klein... He had just been injured and lost blood, and was in a very bad state, so he had no time to think about these issues.
"According to the relevant agreements between Nighthawks, Machinery Hivemind, and Mandated Punishers, this Tomaz Stealing Beyonder Item, who belongs to Machinery Hivemind, should be handed over to Machinery Hivemind together with him after capturing or killing Tomaz."
Dunn didn't seem to notice Angel's small movements, with a serious look on his face and said one sentence after another.
"Since Tomaz, the defector of 'Machinery Hivemind', is still missing, this pocket watch will be temporarily kept by you until he is caught or killed."
What?
Angel was stunned.
Dunn's pretended serious expression instantly turned into a smile, with a hint of cunning.
"You have to thank Leonard and Klein. They have been interceding for you since last night. Klein came to me early in the morning."
He said with a smile on his lips, but then he felt that this was a serious topic and suppressed his laughter.
"In short, I will postpone reporting your matter to Holy Cathedral, but just in case, I will use my own channels to test the above attitude first. This can at least avoid the worst results."
The worst outcome is that Tingen City Nighthawks Squad colludes with others to secretly hide Mystical Item...
Angel was suddenly moved. Dunn must have been under a lot of pressure after making this decision. He could have pretended not to know, or reported the truth and waited for the superior's decision, but now he deliberately concealed it. If Angel was eventually "caught", he would also have to bear the responsibility.
"Besides, the church will only focus on those Mystical Items with obvious side effects and easy to cause casualties, and will number and manage them as Sealed Artifact..."
Dunn changed the topic and the smile on his face became more obvious.
"That pocket watch is called 'Magician Pocket Watch'. Its negative effects... I think it should not easily cause casualties or major extraordinary events."
He seemed to remember the situation last night after Angel fell into negative effects. He finally couldn't hold back his laughter and turned his head to cover up.
Captain, please return my emotion quickly...
Angel I feel a little feverish on my face.
