A subtle tremor deep in Spirituality woke Angel from his sleep.
"Here we go again... Didn't I hint to the captain that he could go find trouble with Klein next door..."
During this period of time, she was always harassed by "Nightmare" in her dreams. Angel was already familiar with it. She lifted the quilt, got up from the bed, and prepared to hide in the basement first.
...Wait a minute, I don't seem to be in the usual negative state of "Fear of Firelight"?
Holding "Bloodthirst" in one hand and "Magician Pocket Watch" in the other, she walked out of the bedroom in her pajamas and suddenly felt something.
Carefully turning on the gas lamp in the corridor, the warm firelight fell on the ground and onto her face.
The familiar trembling feeling did not appear.
"Haha, captain can also forget things in his dreams... It seems that I am not completely powerless to fight back this time?"
Angel A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It's in a dream anyway, so there's no need to worry about negative effects affecting reality——
She directly pressed "Magician Pocket Watch" in her hand and obtained three types of Magician Beyonder Ability including "Flaming Jump". At the same time, Spirituality instinctively sensed an open flame appearing downstairs for jumping.
"Pah——"
A burst of bright yellow flames flashed, and the figure of Angel disappeared from the corridor on the second floor.
The next second, she stepped out of the flames emerging from the center of the living room on the first floor, holding the revolver in her hand, her hair flying, and smiling, ready to give the forgetful "Nightmare" a big surprise.
Hey, wait...
The two gas lamps on the wall of the living room have been lit, but the yellow flame originally emitted by the burning gas has now turned into a strange turquoise, shaking and dyeing the entire living room into a permeating miserable green.
A dark wind blew by, and the curtains covering the windows facing the street swayed, occasionally casting a ray of crimson moonlight onto the ground.
This should be the captain's new trick, right?
I should still be dreaming...
Angel felt that her body was stiff. Even if Madam Sharon crawled out of the ground and sat on the sofa in the living room waiting for her to get up, she would not be as surprised as she is now.
Opening Spirit Vision by biting his back molars, Angel slowly stepped back toward the door, holding up "Bloodthirst", alert to the weirdness that might appear at any time.
If the situation goes bad, she will "jump" to the street as soon as possible, or even jump all the way along the street lights, as far away from here as possible.
Under her Spirit Vision, all the items in the living room without Spirituality appeared gray and white, while the firelight infected by green flashed a faint yellow, and concentrated on the ceiling of the living room as if being pulled by some force.
She looked at the ceiling along the yellow. A translucent face with only a mouth and no other facial features penetrated from above and slowly descended into the living room on the first floor.
Angel tightened his fingers, Spirituality poured in "Bloodthirst" and was about to pull the trigger.
"Wait, don't shoot."
When the human face fell to about one meter above the ground, it floated motionless, facing Angel. The translucent mouth opened and closed, and a familiar voice came out.
"Are you...Daly, Ms. Daly?"
"It's me, haha. I'm sorry that my sudden visit scared you."
The translucent face lacks any expression of apology, not to mention that it has only one mouth and can't make any other movements besides laughing.
"How can you prove that this is not another prank by the captain?"
Angel still didn't put down the pistol. She looked around, trying to find "Nightmare" hiding in the corner.
"Well, it seems that Dunn has put you through a lot. His carriage is parked at the junction of Iron Cross Street and Daffodil Street. I just passed by Klein's house. His Spirituality is a little unstable. Dunn probably won't bother looking for you tonight."
It doesn't sound like he's lying, and the situation this time is indeed different from the previous "nightmares"...
Angel Feeling slightly relieved, she released her index finger from holding the trigger and put away the revolver.
"Ms. Daly, I heard that you have been transferred to Backlund. Why did you come to Tingen City late tonight?"
Now that he had woken up and an old acquaintance came to visit, Angel was no longer in a hurry to return to the second floor. Instead, he sat directly on the single sofa by the window and asked Daly about his purpose.
The translucent face fluttered and came to the sofa with Angel. His lips moved up and down. "At the end of July, Dunn wrote me a letter asking about Potion's mastering skills and your little tips for him."
The human face was shaking in mid-air. Although there were no eyes, Angel still felt that there was a gaze staring at him.
"I didn't pay too much attention to it at the time. I just thought that he had some surprising insights when he was thinking about how to master the power of Potion. But for some reason, I couldn't guide him further."
"But in another letter last week, he mentioned that Klein Moretti, by imitating Mystery Pryer's motto and understanding the Potion name 'Seer', summarized the method of mastering Potion, and even mentioned a special application."
"I knew after reading the letter that the two of you must have concluded 'Acting Method'."
Sure enough, Ms. Daly also knows "Acting Method"...
Angel felt relieved and nodded silently.
"Sure enough, our communication will be much more convenient this way. I once made an oath in front of Goddess Holy Artifact not to allow 'Acting Method' to be disclosed to people who don't know it. This is also That's why I felt helpless about Dunn's promotion. Fortunately, you and Klein were there. You told Dunn this before you were discovered by the church and took the oath."
"His acting really hurt me..."
Angel muttered.
The mouth, the only organ on the translucent face, grinned upward at both corners. It was as if Angel could see through it that Daly's face with eye shadow and blush was twitching constantly.
"I would advise him not to always find the same victim... Well, the purpose of my coming today is to give you and Klein an opportunity to directly explain the meaning of Acting Method to him. Well, you can also reveal it to other members of Tingen Team. This will be of great help to their subsequent promotions."
"Then soon, you will be noticed by the church - this is almost inevitable after Klein submits a special application - and be required to take an oath. Like me, you are not allowed to reveal 'Acting Method' to people who don't know. Believe me, you don't want to know the consequences of violating the oath."
The last person who said that she had made a similar oath was Kavi from "Machinery Hivemind". I think she is fine...
Angel thought secretly, but nodded obediently to express his understanding.
Seeing that Angel agreed, the translucent face shook happily in the air a few times before continuing:
"That's the first thing I came to see you for."
"In return for your disclosure of Acting Method to Dunn, I will tell you the second thing," Human Face's lips paused for a moment and said slowly, "Church of the Evernight Goddess has not mastered the Sequence 8 formula of 'Assassin' Pathway, and the Potion formula of 'Instigator'."
This is telling me not to submit a special application because there is no Potion within the church?
Angel chewed on Daly's words.
No, that's not what she meant... Could it be that Daly already knows, or guesses that I have been promoted to Sequence 8, but is suffering from not having the opportunity to disclose it to the church, and is worried that after submitting a special application, he will be asked to take "Instigator" Potion on the spot?
There is no Potion formula of "Instigator" within the church, which means that you can submit your application with confidence and don't have to worry about losing control caused by taking Potion again...
Thinking of this, Angel couldn't stop feeling excited.
She was about to say thank you to Daly, but she saw the face continued to move its lips.
"There is a third thing..."
