Tingen City southern suburbs, Tussock River.
The dark clouds covering Tingen City have gradually dispersed, and Crimson Moon has revealed its face, spreading crimson moonlight onto the rushing river.
A figure disappeared and appeared among the waves. She was naked, but covered with sparkling scales, like an elegant mermaid, swimming down the river.
She seemed to be born to move in the water. Even with only one left hand, she could control the direction in the turbulent river. Her flexible lower limbs swayed and she swam forward at an extremely fast speed, gradually moving away from Tingen City.
As she swam, she whispered something, as if she was talking to herself or communicating with someone in the distance.
"Yes, they did come to my door. They were stronger than I expected and used several Mystical Items. However, I managed to escape. Gabriaus sacrificed themselves to cover me."
She listened intently, nodded, and then continued.
"... I can arrive at Backlund before dawn, and I will stay at Mr. A for a while... It doesn't matter, I Grazing'Astrologer', It can interfere with divination, but they should know that I left Tingen, and the search targets will also be placed in surrounding cities, and even Backlund, you are safe for the time being, and you can continue to implement the follow-up plan."
"Oh, I didn't kill her, but even if I wanted to, it would be very difficult. Does she really only have Sequence 9?"
The woman slowed down her hands and feet in stirring the river water, raised her head and surfaced. There seemed to be scales hidden under her skin, and her expression was a little obscure, but she could still tell that she was Ms. D who had just escaped from Tingen City North Borough.
"... I understand. You should be careful and don't let down your guard against those two people. They must have their own plans."
After saying this, Ms. D turned back and looked at Tingen City looming under the night.
"The last time I saw Old Neil was two years ago, and he hasn't retired yet?"
In the Blackthorn Security Company reception hall with the door locked and the curtains closed, three tired Nighthawks sat down and discussed tonight's battle over cold coffee.
"It's almost time. He said that after Klein has learned all his Ritual Magic, he will be ready to apply for retirement."
Dunn replied. His windbreaker was hung on the coat rack at the door, revealing his shirt and black vest. After a short rest, this "Nightmare" had already eliminated part of his tiredness.
Soest nodded, picked up the coffee cup with his red-gloved right hand, and drank the entire cup of coffee like water. His left hand was still swollen and rested weakly on his knee. Angel guessed that this might be the negative effect of the silver ring.
The seriously injured Henry and Lares have been sent to Alchemy Room located underground, and Old Neil is treating them with the Ritual Magic that has been prepared.
In order to take care of Angel who was in the "Fear of Firelight" state, all the gas lights in the hall were extinguished at this moment. Fortunately, the three people present had night vision, so even if the room was dark, it did not affect their conversation.
The only exception is Klein, who has been on standby at the station. Not only is he unable to move in Evernight, but he also needs ritual candles for the divination that needs to be connected.
So he took the initiative to perform divination in the lounge next door to avoid other people's influence on the divination and to avoid scaring Angel with his own candle.
Using the need to light candles as an excuse, he left the hall and came to the lounge. Klein carefully locked the door and sealed the entire lounge with the ritual dagger Wall of Spirituality before walking to the sofa in the center of the lounge.
When the four Nighthawkss carried an unconscious teammate back to Blackthorn Security Company just now, his heart was in his throat. Fortunately, after seeing clearly, he discovered that neither his captain nor Angel was injured, and the only one lying down was a member of "Red Gloves".
Although he knows that this mentality is unhealthy, if there must be a victim, he doesn't want it to be his teammates.
Just last week, he saw with his own eyes a member of "Mandated Punishers" at Docklands who lost control and turned into a scaly monster. He eventually died at the hands of other Mandated Punishers, his former teammates.
After feeling the sad emotions of those Mandated Punisherss, he couldn't imagine how he would react when this happened to his teammates who got along day and night.
Eliminating the complicated thoughts in his mind, Klein sat on the sofa, untied the gold chain on his left wrist, held it, and let the purple crystal pendant hang above the table, gradually stopping shaking.
Looking at the purple crystal that shone brightly under the light, his somewhat depressed mood gradually recovered. Then he closed his eyes and entered a meditative state, muttering something:
"Ms. D is still within Tingen City."
After reciting the divination content seven times, he opened his eyes and saw, as expected, that the pendulum was in a disturbed and random state.
"Sure enough, there was interference. Fortunately, I had guessed it and came here in advance to conduct divination alone."
Klein murmured, without any hesitation, he quickly put away the pendant and stood up.
He glanced at the locked door, slowly walked four steps counterclockwise on the carpet, and along with the incantation he had already memorized by heart, he came to the piece of Grey Fog Space that belonged to "Fool".
After many experiments, Klein has understood that this piece of Grey Fog Space has some special function, which can greatly Earth Mother strengthen his divination ability, and can even isolate the attention caused by high-level beings when divination.
"Details of tonight's battle between Nighthawks and Ms. D."
He manifested the parchment with the divination content written on it, held the paper and recited it silently seven times, then leaned back on the chair and entered the "dream".
An illusory, gray-white mist enveloped him. As the mist dispersed, the penetrating hall of a luxurious villa appeared in front of him.
He saw Ms. D appearing under the statue of "True Creator", wearing a black robe and with a beautiful face.
I saw the Nighthawkss who tried to make a sneak attack but were ambushed instead. They were hiding from Flame Spear in panic.
Seeing the soul of Grazing continuously changing, Silver White Armor appeared on his body instantly, and "Shepherd" held Greatsword in both hands and slashed at Angel.
And the furniture was blown away by the scattered light and hurricane, Spirit World Creature was expelled by "Prohibition", Armored Warrior was controlled by "Nightmare", and Nighthawks were blown away by the black-haired man who jumped out of the shadows.
Pushing Dunn away, he turned into Angel, which shattered Paper Figurine in the explosion.
Finally, there is Ms. D who walks through the wall with a weird smile.
Even though he already knew that the parties involved had returned to their residence intact and were now sitting outside the door chatting, Klein still took a breath of cold air.
"No wonder the captain didn't let me take part in the operation. This is really not the place where a 'Seer' like me should go..."
Exit Dream Divination, Klein muttered to himself.
After obtaining enough information through Dream Divination, he materialized a new parchment again, which read:
"Ms. D is still within Tingen City."
Using the amethyst pendant that entered Grey Fog Space with him to cast "Pendulum Divination", Klein got the answer by rotating the pendulum counterclockwise.
"So, she has indeed left Tingen City...'Red Gloves' captain Soest's guess is correct."
Klein was relieved to learn that Sequence 5's "Shepherd" had left Tingen City.
If this "Aurora Order" Oracle is still hiding in Tingen, after seeing her methods, Klein may not even be able to eat and sleep at ease.
Just as he was about to leave Grey Fog Space and tell the people waiting in the hall the good news, Klein stopped moving with a thought in his mind.
He remembered the words Ms. D said before leaving through the wall in Dream Divination.
"As he said? You will see it?"
This gave him a very uncomfortable feeling, as if he had missed some important clue.
"Just two more minutes..."
Klein materialized the parchment with new divination content written on it.
"People who had contact with Ms. D at Tingen City."
It is only limited to Tingen City because after "travelling", I have never been far away from this city and lacks information about other areas. If you divine elsewhere and enlarge the content to "Loen Kingdom", the fortune will most likely fail due to lack of information.
Entering meditation again, Klein saw faces flashing rapidly in his dream, most of them shrouded in hazy fog, which was caused by the lack of divination information, and some others he had never seen at all - excluding Ms. D's subordinate "Aurora Order", who had died in tonight's battle.
Trying to remember the faces that could be seen clearly, Klein suddenly found a familiar person among them.
Because he had seen this person on the wanted poster, had contact with his "family members" many times, and even once wanted to find traces of him through divination.
"Lanevus?"
He read out the name of this fraudster who had made tens of thousands of pounds and fell into deep thought.
