Taking some frivolous steps, Angel walked in the underground passage of Blackthorn Security Company.

The light from the elegant gas lamps on the walls on both sides made her feel a little dazzling, and the holy emblem symbolizing Evernight Goddess was also a little blurry.

Alas, as expected, the side effects of excessive blood loss are still too great...

Angel wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned right at the intersection, and walked towards the weapons depot.

She used medical tools to drain herself a lot of blood last night. Not only did she absorb part of "Bloodthirst", which had not been used for a long time, to restore it to its best condition, she also used the mystical knowledge of "Witch" to use her own blood as Spiritual Materials to create a "Magic Mirror" that has a closer mystical connection with herself.

This mirror can not only be used as a tool for Magic Mirror Divination and provide some early warning in critical moments, but it can also be used as a disposable item for Mirror Substitution, replacing ordinary mirrors that have more stringent size requirements.

The whole pot of medicinal materials being cooked in the basement of her home also contains a lot of blood. In addition, these days are the inevitable period after becoming a woman. As a result, the body strengthened by "Witch" Potion is now a little overwhelmed.

Patient Angel stood at the door of the weapons depot, took a few deep breaths to return to normal, and then pushed Door Opening in.

The old set of tables and chairs were still in the arsenal, Old Neil used coffee cans were piled in the corner, and a young woman with long black hair sat on the chair.

Hey, isn't it Rozanne? A new civilian employee?

Angel was stunned.

The black-haired woman seemed to know Angel. She immediately stood up and greeted him with a tall posture.

After a brief exchange with this woman with a neat posture, Angel found out that she was a civilian employee who was transferred from the Tingen City Police Bureau yesterday.

Due to the death of Old Neil, the already tense manpower became even more stretched. Although Rozanne and Bredt did not complain, their expressions became visibly tired.

Dunn said after Old Neil's funeral on Monday that two police officers from Police Station who had been exposed to occult events and had devout faith in Goddess were transferred. The woman in front of her was one of them. Another civilian staff member who came with her would also rotate the weapons depot and help send and receive documents and write reimbursement reports.

It is said that Holy Cathedral will soon send a "Mystery Pryer" to Tingen City to replace Old Neil's other position, so as to avoid having only Klein and Spirit Channeling in the entire Nighthawks team.

Alas, Old Neil...

Looking at the nervous newcomer in front of him, Angel forced out a smile, handed over the approval slip signed by Dunn, received a new large-caliber revolver, handed over the old weapon that "Bloodthirst" had replaced, and also received a batch of ordinary pistol ammunition.

"Don't you need to receive that...Demon Hunter Bullet, Miss Granger?"

the newcomer asked cautiously.

"No, just to supplement some daily training consumption."

Angel replied.

She even does less daily firearms training. Firstly, because there is little room for improvement in her firearms skills. Secondly, after she is promoted to Mid Sequence Beyonder, she will rely more on Beyonder Ability for combat and will have fewer and fewer opportunities to use firearms.

However, no one knows that he has become "Witch". I am afraid that he will only be able to regard himself as "Instigator" in a short period of time... Otherwise, being promoted from Sequence 9 to Sequence 7 in a few months would be too sensational, and the senior deacon would escort him to Holy Cathedral to find out what happened.

Angel took the pistol and bullets, thinking about how to "promote" Sequence 7 within the church, and slowly walked out of the basement.

"... After Hood Eugen died, Lanevus's clues were broken again. What do you think?"

Angel returned to the second floor of Blackthorn Security Company from the stairs. She was about to open the door and go to the corridor when she heard the deep voice of Dunn Smith outside the door. She subconsciously slowed down her pace and listened carefully.

"Since Klein learned from Spirit Channeling that Lanevus is related to the Aurora Order member he killed before, why not start from this angle? I am going to go to Police Station to look through the file again to see who Siris has contacted and where he has been."

This was the voice of Leonard. Different from the usual frivolity, "Midnight Poet" who discussed the case had a serious tone without any pretense.

It turns out they were discussing the whereabouts of Lanevus... I haven't paid attention to this case for a while.

Angel recalled the fraudster and suspected member of "Aurora Order" in his mind, coughed deliberately, and then opened the door and walked out.

The two Nighthawkss outside the door turned to look over together.

"Good morning, Captain."

Angel greeted them and saw that the two were chatting in a lively manner. He did not interrupt them, but walked around, crossed the corridor, and came to the reception hall.

Rozanne was boiling water by the stove in the corner of the hall. When he saw Angel coming in, he took the initiative to say hello. Compared to the past few days, she is now less depressed. Her clothes have begun to have colors other than black, and she has a slight smile on her face.

After adjusting her emotions, this gossip-loving woman finally discovered that Angel did not become more beautiful after putting on makeup, but miraculously "whitened" her face.

"Angel, tell the truth, what... um, skin care products do you use? Why can't you share them with your colleagues?"

She took the initiative to offer Angel a cup of hot coffee and asked for advice.

Can I say it is the function of Potion?

Angel hesitated to speak. She remembered that at Old Neil's funeral, Rozanne cried and complained about why Old Neil had to take Potion to become Beyonder. She did not want to continue to irritate this sensitive girl in this matter, so she said:

"Applying cucumber on your face before going to bed every day can whiten your face. You can give it a try."

She casually mentioned a folk remedy she had seen on the Internet in her previous life. As for whether it was effective, she didn't know.

"I saw it in a magazine. It was proposed by Emperor Roselle in the early years, and it has been falsified."

Rozanne unceremoniously exposed Lies of Angel.

"Ah, this..."

Angel was stunned. She didn't expect that the senior time traveler would dig a hole for her here.

Her eyes wandered, trying to change the topic to get past it. She happened to see the newspaper on the table, and the headlines instantly attracted her attention.

"The Great Pirate Qilingus was shot to death by Duke bodyguards in Backlund"!

Um? "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Qilingus, was shot to death by a bodyguard?

Not caring about Rozanne, she quickly grabbed the copy of "Tingen Daily" that was just released on Saturday, today, and confirmed the title again.

"Ah, you also saw this headline," Rozanne, who was annoyed that he couldn't ask for the secret to whitening, saw Angel pick up the newspaper and came over, "I didn't expect that the famous 'Vice Admiral Hurricane' would die like this in Backlund. You said he was a pirate, why would he come to the shore?"

This is also the question that Mr. Hanged Man of Tarot Club—well, maybe also the forces behind him—have always wanted to find out...

Angel thought to herself, and suddenly realized that Vice Admiral Hurricane's death was probably caused by Hanged Man or Justice. She moved her eyes down from the title and read the content carefully.

But she soon discovered that the headlines were obviously added temporarily. Not only were they not accompanied by the large-scale photos that are common in headlines, but the message was also very brief and vague. It only stated in large fonts that Qilingus tried to assassinate Duke Negan at Backlund last night. After failing, he was shot dead by Duke's bodyguards while fleeing.

"For specific incident information and interviews with relevant personnel, please pay attention to this newspaper's special report tomorrow."

The news ended with the words "To be continued."

Ah, is this the end?

Angel turned to the second page and found that there was already another draft about the celebration party for the completion of North Borough Park at the weekend.

This "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Qilingus who claimed to be High Sequence Beyonder, died too hastily, right?
