"'Ms. D'?"

Angel took a breath and repeated.

It can be seen from her code name that this is undoubtedly another Oracle named "Aurora Order".

"The person who came to exchange the bearer bonds called her that, and his tone was respectful, as if he were facing a boss or a teacher."

Klein After drinking a cup of coffee with extra sugar, he regained some strength, but continued to slump on the sofa and added.

"It is said that each of 'Aurora Order' and Oracle has numerous subordinates, some of whom can even be assembled into combat teams. It seems that he is one of them."

Dunn thought about it and shared the information he knew with the other two Nighthawks.

"But they can't be equal, right?" Angel asked, "This means that the murderer of the Pluck Family was not 'Aurora Order' Oracle, which is different from what we had speculated before."

"Or, 'Ms. D' is the one behind the scenes, and the murderer on the surface is just a cover, a bait?"

She suddenly thought of another possibility, one that was more reasonable and more in line with "Aurora Order"'s behavior style.

"At this time, you should say..." Klein sat up straight and said with a smile, "Seer, please verify it."

He unbuttoned the left wrist of his police uniform and shook off the gold chain tied to his wrist. The amethyst hung down and floated above the table, shaking slightly.

"The real murderer of Alan Pluck's family was the redeemer of this bond."

After reciting the divination words silently seven times, he entered a meditative state and quickly came to a conclusion.

The real murderer is someone else!

Returning the bond completely to the relieved bank manager, the three Nighthawks quickly returned to Blackthorn Security Company at Zouteland Street in a carriage.

Now that the real culprit of the murder has been identified, the location of "Aurora Order" at Tingen City has been found, and the "Ms. D" behind the murderer has been found, the next thing to do is to wait for "Red Gloves" to arrive.

But Angel didn't expect that when the three of them pushed open the door to the second floor of the company, the three guests were already sitting on the sofa in the reception hall.

"Hey, Dunn, long time no see. Are you surprised to see me?"

A middle-aged man about forty years old stood up from the sofa and walked towards the Dunn trio.

He was wearing an exaggerated standard top hat, which was twice as tall as the half-top hat Tingen City Nighthawks liked. He was wearing a black trench coat, with soft facial features and deliberately long temples. Angel noticed that he, and the other two guests, were all wearing gloves as red as blood.

Are they the "Red Gloves" team that came to support?

Angel immediately guessed the identities of the three people.

"Soest, nice to meet you. I really didn't expect that you would be leading the team this time."

Dunn Smith replied calmly, not showing any happiness at all.

The remaining two "Red Gloves" also stood up from the sofa and followed their captain forward.

Three Tingen Team Nighthawks and three members of "Red Gloves" formed two rows, standing opposite each other and sizing each other up.

Why is there a feeling of tension, aren't they here to support...

Angel glanced at his captain and saw his expressionless face, then looked at Klein on the other side. The latter also seemed a little confused and just followed the captain's movements subconsciously.

"Oh, let's talk about business," Soest grinned, letting the solid air in the field continue to flow, "You have a Oracle of 'Aurora Order' here?"

"Yes, this is the reason why Tingen City asked Backlund for help, and we just made a new discovery."

After the captains on both sides spoke in turn, the remaining four people secretly breathed a sigh of relief. People from the two teams sat down one after another, occupying the sofas and benches in the reception hall.

Under the instruction of Dunn, Klein repeated the scene he had seen from Dream Divination, which made Soest, who had an unclear attitude just now, frown.

"You mean, that 'Ms. D' is probably Beyonder of Sequence 5?"

"Shepherd."

Dunn added, roughly introducing the abilities of Secrets Suppliant Sequence 5 and "Shepherd" to the three "Red Gloves" members.

These information were given to Dunn by Angel yesterday after the end of "Tarot Club". She did not say where the information came from, and Dunn did not ask.

The two seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding.

"There are also Potion names of 'Shepherd' in the internal documents, and they have a variety of Beyonder Ability that are not their own, but... 'Grazing' other Beyonder? No wonder they always have endless abilities and can always deal with various attacks and injuries. So, we are likely to face a joint attack from Beyonder of different Pathway?"

Soest had put away his inexplicable hostility, sat upright, and muttered and repeated Dunn's introduction.

Yes, hostility, Angel used Instigator's instinct to see the hostility towards Dunn from this "Red Gloves".

But this negative emotion is very light, not like a strong emotion buried deep in the heart that will dictate actions.

"It's not a joint attack. No matter how many abilities she has, she is only one person. Moreover, the number of 'Shepherd's that can be Grazing ed is limited. Each Grazing ed Beyonder can only retain a few abilities, and they cannot be used at the same time."

"No matter how many tricks a person has, he can't defeat a team."

Dunn stared at Soest with gray eyes and said slowly.

One plus one is greater than two. This is common sense in the battle of Beyonder. The cooperation between multiple Low Sequence Beyonder may make Mid Sequence's Beyonder confused or even run away.

But this does not mean that if these abilities are concentrated in one person, he or she will be stronger than multiple Beyonder.

Spirituality's consumption, physical damage, and being overwhelmed when being besieged will all affect his combat effectiveness.

After the tone was set by Dunn, all that was left to do was to discuss how to fight.

First, Klein marked the divination location on the map: Wendell Street of North Borough, a single-family villa some distance away from other houses.

"I will go to Police Station now to get the relevant information, and then I will formulate an attack plan. I will take action tonight. Is that okay?"

Dunn took the map, arranged his police uniform, put on his police hat, and turned his eyes to Soest who was sitting opposite him.

As if he felt that he was gradually losing his command, Soest raised his eyebrows and moved his lips, but finally nodded.

Angel felt that his negative emotions and his hostility towards Dunn had become lighter.

Watching Dunn push open the door and leave the station, the captain of "Red Gloves" and Soest, with soft facial features, moved their eyes towards the other two Tingen Team members.

"Klein Moretti, 'Seer' who just joined Nighthawks, right?"

He first looked at Klein, who was sitting on a short stool, trying hard to make himself less conspicuous. After the latter nodded in confirmation, he continued:

"My team has always wanted a Seer. Unfortunately, most of the newcomers chose 'Sleepless' Pathway, and the few who made the same choice as you are not so Luck."

"Not so Luck?"

Klein asked back, with a trace of doubt and worry on his face.

"Well, Seer's inspiration is relatively high, and there are too many things that they need to divine and search for at the grassroots level of Nighthawks, so they usually don't get promoted, so..."

He showed a "you know" expression, successfully making the blood fade from Klein's face.

"Then there is you. I heard Daly mention you before Backlund. Angel Granger was an 'assassin' before joining Nighthawks."

Soest turned his attention to Angel again.
