Captain Dunn's behavior of using her as the target of "Nightmare" is really annoying, but Angel has more important things to do at the moment.
Moreover, it can help Dunn digest Potion as quickly as possible and gain the hope of promotion. What does it matter if I can't sleep for a few days?
After vaguely expressing her dissatisfaction and pointing out that "Nightmare" should change its target, she let her captain go.
As three o'clock in the afternoon approached, Angel said hello to Rozanne who was fishing at the reception desk, and came to the third floor of Blackthorn Security Company.
Different from the "lounge" on the second floor, which is only equipped with sofas, this is where the Nighthawkss really rest. There are five single rooms along the street with single beds, tables and chairs, and bathrooms. The Nighthawkss can sleep here if they do not need to be on duty for Chanis Gate or need to stay at the station to wait for some reason.
Angel first checked every room to make sure that there was no one on the entire third floor, and then selected the room in the corner and locked the door after entering.
After closing the window, drawing the curtains, and sealing the entire room with Wall of Spirituality, Angel breathed a sigh of relief.
She sat at the table, took out her pocket watch - the normal one - and looked at it, and found that there were less than five minutes left until three o'clock in the afternoon.
In the past several times, after entering Grey Fog Space and Tarot Club, returning to Physical World and Angel will find that they maintain their original posture, whether sitting or standing.
This may be the power of the ritual that pulled her into Gray Fog, otherwise the unconscious body would definitely fall down and be in a panic.
But for the sake of comfort, she tried her best to wait until three o'clock in a sitting position before entering Gray Fog.
This time due to work schedules, she was unable to rush home before three o'clock, so she could only temporarily use the lounge on the third floor of Blackthorn Security Company to build an isolated space in Wall of Spirituality to prepare for the meeting.
Fortunately, there are only Rozanne and Mrs. Orianna on the second floor. Seeka is taking a nap on Recreation Room on the second floor. Klein has gone home to rest. The remaining Nighthawkss also have their own affairs and are not staying in the company, which gives her time and space to "fish".
Withdrawing his thoughts, Angel watched the minute hand of the pocket watch in his hand move towards the hour, and watched the familiar crimson waves emerge from the palm of his right hand and surround himself.
The deep red faded, gray mist appeared, and the soft cushion under Angel turned into a hard bronze high-backed chair. His vision gradually became clearer, and Hanged Man sat in front of him as before.
Hey, why is there another person next to him?
A new figure appeared on the right side of Hanged Man, also sitting on a high-backed bronze chair. Although Gray Fog was shrouded in it and his face could not be seen clearly, his height was obviously higher than that of Hanged Man, who was about the same as Angel. His shoulders were broad and his figure was burly, almost covering the entire back of the chair.
If Gray Fog only covers his face and does not change his figure, he will become the tallest member of Tarot Club... well, excluding the mysterious "Fool".
Angel looked around. To her left, Miss Justice was still sitting in her original position. A little further to her right hand was the top of the long table. Surrounded by Gray Fog, "Fool" lowered her hand with one hand and held the edge of the long table with the other.
Justice also discovered anomalies in the venue. She became "Spectator" and tried hard to suppress her body movements caused by surprise, but her sudden stagnant breathing still exposed the shock in her heart.
Hanged Man was even more unbearable. When he noticed that the two ladies across from him were staring at his right side, he immediately turned his head and discovered the "new member" beside him. He was so frightened that his body trembled and seemed to want to jump up from the seat. However, after turning to one side, he abruptly stopped his movements and became a strange posture of trying to stay away from the other party but not daring to leave the seat.
"This gentleman is a new member of Tarot Club, with the title 'Sun'."
Fool's deep and steady voice came.
"This is 'Empress' Miss, 'Justice' Miss, and this is Mr. 'Hanged Man'."
He introduced other old members to "Sun" in turn.
Sure enough, he is a new member. Was he introduced by Justice or Hanged Man? But they seemed equally surprised, not like they had known about the situation.
Could it be that they are members that Fool personally "developed"?
Angel looked at the tall but nervous "Sun" next to Hanged Man and secretly guessed.
Miss Justice, who was still lively and hospitable, spoke first and said hello to other members and the newly joined Mr. Sun. Then he turned to Fool and said with a hint of pride:
"Mr. Fool, I collected two more pages of Emperor Roselle's Diary."
She submitted one page last week, and two pages this week...Angel immediately felt a strong sense of crisis. Except for the two pages she submitted at the beginning, she never made any contribution. Although she still had two pages on hand, she kept them in preparation for exchanging some important information.
At this time, I saw Justice taking out a new diary, and discussing with Fool whether we could exchange the formula of Sequence 8's "Telepathist", Angel decided to take time this week to buy a few pages of diary from Underground Market at "Evil Dragon Bar", and then submit the diary at hand to avoid being regarded as passive and sabotaging by Fool.
Thinking of this, she secretly glanced at Mr. Fool, and found that the other person's head happened to be tilted this way, and his gaze seemed to be directed towards him.
You must be looking at Miss Justice, not me...
Angel retracted his gaze and lowered his head.
"The 'Telepathist' formula prefixed by 'Psychoanalyst'?"
Tarot Club's newcomer, "Sun" suddenly asked.
Justice, who was trying to trade with Fool, looked at him doubtfully. "Yes, do you have the formula?"
"This is Pathway, which originates from the 'dragon' family. It is the mortal enemy of Giant King’s Court and our Silver City, so I have a way to get the Sequence 8 and Sequence 7 formulas of this Pathway in City of Silver."
Mr. Sun replied, his voice was very young and inconsistent with his tall figure.
Dragon Race, Giant King’s Court, Silver City... and what he called "psychoanalyst" seems to be the ancient title of "Psychiatrist"...
The joining of this new member brought a lot of new knowledge to Tarot Club. At this time, Angel could not worry about Emperor Roselle's Diary, but was busy memorizing these new words in his mind.
"Silver City" has never been seen on the church's internal atlas...
She looked at Hanged Man opposite, and found that the knowledgeable opponent also looked like he was thinking. Even the sitting posture that was originally trying to stay away from "Sun" returned to normal.
Mr. Sun did not seem to notice the actions of other members, but continued the transaction with Miss Justice, trying to exchange the "promise to obtain the Telepathist formula" for the formula of "Bard", which is the Sequence 9 of "Sun" Pathway.
Well, it fits his codename very well...
Unfortunately, Miss Justice did not have the Potion formula at hand, and her attempt to trade directly with Gold Pound was also rejected by Sun.
"I can give Sun the formula of 'Bard', and Sun will give Justice the formula of 'Telepathist', and Justice will give me Roselle's Diary."
Just when the transaction reached a stalemate, Mr. Fool proposed a three-party transaction.
Since the formula value of Sequence 8 is higher than that of Sequence 9, Mr. Sun will suffer a loss in this transaction. Fool promised to give him part of the compensation on behalf of Miss Justice, and Miss Justice needs to compensate this part of the difference in money to one of his favored ones.
"He happened to be doing something at the Loen Kingdom recently and needed some funds for activities, and Mr. Sun may not receive compensation from Miss Justice."
Fool explained calmly.
A being as powerful as a god, his favored one must at least be High Sequence, what kind of Pathway could it be...
Angel guessed, watching the three parties reach a deal, a roll of parchment appeared in front of Mr. Sun, and Miss Justice's two-page diary also appeared in front of Fool.
"You can talk freely without waiting for me."
After saying this, Fool stopped talking and stopped moving.
The four members, including newcomer Mr. Sun, did not dare to speak and waited quietly.
