On Tuesday morning, Angel took Public Carriage to Zouteland Street and entered Blackthorn Security Company as usual.
After the death of Old Neil, there was a negative mood throughout Tingen Team. Even the joy of learning about "Acting Method" could not be diluted. Angel and Klein had not looked for the "Red Chimney" building for several days.
Pushing open the door of the reception hall on the second floor, Angel saw Miss Rozanne sitting on the sofa at a glance. She was wearing a long black dress. She was rarely making coffee or preparing hot water. Instead, her eyes stayed on a newspaper spread out on the coffee table, motionless.
Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, she turned her head and looked at Angel with a dull expression.
"Good morning..." She suddenly froze, "Hey, it's really you, Angel. I thought I made a mistake at first glance... Did you put on makeup today?"
Well, it turned out to be true...
Angel sighed secretly and put his hand on his cheek.
Early this morning, when she was washing up, she discovered that although the "Witch" and "Potion" she took yesterday did not change her gender, the transformation of her body was still comprehensive.
The lines of her limbs are softer, her skin is more delicate and fairer, and even the scars caused by injuries in previous battles have disappeared.
Especially in terms of appearance, if the original "Instigator" Angel and Cole Granger are still three to four points similar, so that people would not doubt their blood relationship, the current "Witch" Angel has almost no facial features of Cole and has become more feminine.
Also more beautiful and charming.
Fortunately, this change did not change her overall appearance, so Rozanne would not be able to recognize her colleagues, and would only suspect that the other party had put on makeup on purpose and made a "small change".
This is the confidence that double copies of "Witch" and Potion bring me...
Angel slandered the "assassin" Pathway for causing a lot of harm, but he couldn't explain the change in his appearance. He could only nod and admit:
"I just learned it from the newspaper and tried it myself."
If it were Miss Rozanne last week, she would have asked which newspaper it was, or asked Angel to take the time to teach her, but this week's Rozanne just said "hmm" and looked back at the newspaper on the table without saying anything.
Until Angel left the reception hall, her newspaper didn't even turn a page.
After passing through the corridor, we came to Recreation Room where Nighthawkss were passing the time. Angel found that there was already a table of people sitting inside, playing "Fight Evil".
Klein is holding playing cards in one hand and playing with a penny in the other. The copper coin is spinning on the table. Every time it is about to stop, the "clown" with nimble fingers will flick on the edge of the coin, making it spin faster again.
Opposite him, Leonard seems to be staring at the cards in his hand, but in fact his mind has wandered to nowhere; the last player is the white-haired Seeka Tron. She is the only one who is still paying attention to the game, but it is not her turn to play cards now. This Author Miss can only yawn in boredom.
Hearing the sound of Door Opening, the three of them looked up, and when they saw it was Angel, they looked away again, but then several people turned their heads and shifted their gaze back to her face.
"You... put on makeup today?"
Seeka asked questions that were inconvenient for the other two men to ask.
"I read it in the newspaper..."
Squeezing out a smile, Angel used the same excuse again.
Fortunately, the three absent-minded Nighthawks didn't take a closer look, but Klein continued to look at her face, and then frowned in confusion, as if he remembered something.
Pulling out the latest newspaper from the nearby bookshelf, Angel was about to leave the boring Recreation Room and go to the sofa in the hall to kill time, but saw Dunn passing through the corridor outside the door, turning around a second later and entering the room.
Today's captain is not wearing a windbreaker or vest. His white shirt is messy and wrinkled. His short light brown hair is also messy, but his eyes are still bright.
"So you are all here," his eyes swept across the four people in Recreation Room in turn, and finally stopped on Leonard, "Leonard, Morse Town near Tingen are in some trouble, go over and deal with it, and try to come back before nightfall."
"What happened, Captain?"
Without waiting for Leonard to answer, Klein, who was playing with the copper coins, held down the rolling penny and raised his head and asked.
"In the past two days, several suspected haunted incidents have occurred in the small town. Some residents heard strange cries, footsteps that could not be traced from the source, and even a woman saw her deceased husband. Almost all the locals were believers of Goddess, so the priest of the small town church reported it directly to us."
Klein's eyes gradually lit up as he listened to Dunn's answer.
"A suspected haunting incident? Could there be any secrets involved, or involve extraordinary power, like the ghost we met at Lamud Town last time?" He rolled his eyes and glanced at Leonard as if inadvertently, "Maybe I can help Leonard with divination, or simply Spirit Channeling."
Such a purposeful speech immediately made Leonard look at the other party, with doubts in his green eyes.
Dunn didn't think much about it. He thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement, "That's right, maybe in some cases you need to go through the Ritual Magic Purification resentful spirit. Then you and Leonard go to Morse."
"Okay, we're leaving now."
Klein answered in a brisk tone. He gathered the coins he won in front of him, put them in his pocket, stood up and left Recreation Room, leaving only Leonard who still looked confused.
Before the poet could catch up, Klein returned to the room from the corridor. He said to Dunn solemnly:
"Captain, I think the haunting incident of Morse Town is still unclear. If we have to deal with the worst case scenario, such as a powerful Wraith, Leonard and I may..."
"What else do you need?"
Dunn directly interrupted his description and asked.
"I would like to apply for the use of Sealed Artifact 3-0782, 'Mutated Sun Holy Emblem'. It has powerful destructive effects on undead and ghosts, and is very suitable for this mission."
"But Level 3 Sealed Artifact can only be used when a team of three people act together. You..." Dunn was about to shake his head and refuse, but looked at the two remaining ladies in Recreation Room.
The way he left and came back just now didn't look like he suddenly remembered the need to use Sealed Artifact, but rather like he had planned it... His target was that Sealed Artifact?
Angel analyzed secretly, looking at Klein who looked at the captain solemnly, with his right hand at his side and tapping his thigh with his index finger. This action was something he would do when he was nervous.
"I'll go with them, captain, so there will be three Nighthawkss acting together. You can use Sealed Artifacts to avoid the worst case scenario."
Seeing Seeka Tron on the side eager to try, Angel volunteered to fill the last hole in the team.
"... Okay, you guys work in groups of three and go back as soon as possible. Leonard You come to my office to get the application, and then go to Chanis Gate to take out '3-0782'. Remember..."
"No more than six hours, got it, Captain."
Leonard replied before Dunn finished speaking.
"...Yes."
After Dunn was answered, he was speechless for a moment. He looked at the last member of the team, Angel, and frowned.
"You today..."
"Wearing makeup, yes, Captain."
Angel also imitated Leonard's tone and answered quickly.
Dunn, who had not finished a few sentences in succession, opened his mouth, and his tangled expression made Seeka beside him chuckle.
The dull atmosphere in the room was finally diluted.
