After taking a detour to East Borough's new safe house to change clothes, and Anti-Divination with Black Flame, Angel returned to Red Rose Street's home.
In addition to Anti-Divination, she also tried a more "traditional" anti-tracking method this time, changing carriages, taking detours and observing the rear. She even passed through a coffee shop that was still open after dark, entering through the front door and exiting through the back door to get rid of possible stalkers.
Part of the reason was due to the reminder given by Dominic before leaving, but mostly it was the stress reaction after being caught by Ms. Lola, that "Demoness of Pleasure".
After washing up at home, Angel hid in the basement and sorted out the special ammunition he was going to sell. The remaining Spiritual Materials and the precious "Star Crystal", with only a few grams left of the latter, were no longer enough to complete the production of the next batch of "Storm Convergence". They urgently needed to go to Mr. A's rally to replenish them.
And it had been more than a week since she last attended the rally. She felt it was time to return to the rally and get in touch with the Demoness Sect.
This will be the only way for her to improve her strength, be promoted to Sequence 6, and get closer to the real culprit of the Tingen City evil god's coming incident.
Although today Ms. Lola said that she is Demoness of Pleasure of Sequence 6, and that she has broken away from the Demoness Sect, and seems to have the intention of wooing her secretly, but Angel does not trust this mysterious woman who has only met twice.
Considering the way she started as an "assassin", to reach her level, whether active or passive, her hands were stained with the blood of a lot of innocent people. Even if you think about it on the bright side, at best, she can only be regarded as someone who is tired of killing, rather than someone with whom she can have a deep friendship.
"But maybe, we can get the formula for Sequence 6 Potion from her..."
Listing the mysterious Ms. Lola as a candidate to obtain Potion, Angel started thinking about his next role.
Through these days of trying on Divination Club, she has found Pathway who plays "Witch". Although the efficiency is not high, there is no formula for Sequence 6 anyway, and the Potion material is nowhere to be found, and there is no need to rush to complete the digestion of "Witch".
Continue to perform, wait for the advertising notice of Mr. A's meeting, and look for opportunities to contact Demoness Sect...
Burying the plan in his heart, Angel carefully put away the bullet that was about to become Gold Pound and left the dark basement.
Or let's burn the bridge...
Lit Backlund Bridge in public, as long as enough people see it, maybe the digestion of "Witch" Potion can be completed directly, instead of receiving guests for love divination here...
After seeing off another visitor with a gloomy face, Angel wiped Magic Mirror and put it away close to his body, constantly murmuring the customs of Backlund in his heart.
In the past two days, she had tried her best to play the role of a mysterious Seer Witch, trying to digest Potion while helping some frustrated customers. Unexpectedly, all the people who came here were asking about intimacy, whether there was a third party, and even couples who were about to break up.
What's even more frightening is that Angel found that through divination to guide and break up these potential lovers, Potion's signs of digestion turned out to be faster and more obvious than ever.
Is this the true meaning of "Demoness" Pathway? Whether they are assassins, Instigator or Witch, all aim to bring Catastrophe to others and become a disaster?
Looking at the back of the man who went back to confront his lover with a sullen face after she said something inappropriate without conscience, she sighed secretly and put away the 2 soli on the table.
"Watson, I sent you the "Backlund Morning News" you wanted."
While she was deep in thought, the door of the divination room was pushed open, and a waiter from the club delivered the newspaper she read every day.
"Intis Ambassador to Loen was killed in the embassy, and the terrorist organization "Aurora Order" claimed responsibility!"
The special report on the second page has such a horrifying title, and there are small words below: Please look forward to the exclusive interview with the mysterious informant in Aurora Order to learn about the magnificent history that lasts for hundreds of years.
Angel took a rough look and found that the incident happened three days ago, that is, the night she and Dominic went to rescue the kidnapped Sonia. Combined with the commotion caused by multiple forces snatching Difference Engine Manuscript, she suspected that the ambassador's death was also related to this incident.
However, the manuscript has been sold to Mr. A, which means it is in the hands of "Aurora Order". Why did they want to assassinate the ambassador?
Personal grudge? Cover up evidence? Or for other, huge benefits?
As for the so-called exclusive interview with the Aurora Order informant, you know it is a newspaper gimmick without asking. They are the Beyonder organization, not ordinary gangsters...
After thinking for a moment, she turned to the sandwich advertisement on the fifth page, and was pleasantly surprised to find that "Looking for Mr. A" appeared on it again. From the number of the contact address, it can be seen that the rally will be held tomorrow, that is, Monday afternoon.
Finally...
Putting down the newspaper, Angel took a deep breath, recalling in his mind the various rhetoric prepared to deal with "Demoness Sect", the embellishments of his false past, and the people who died in Ince Zangwill's plan.
"This will be the first step in revenge."
She stroked the citrine pendant on her wrist and murmured.
Stroking the amethyst pendant on her wrist, Klein watched the bodyguard Miss's figure in the black palace dress disappear quickly in the bathroom mirror.
The three-day employment was over. During this period, he and this powerful bodyguard teamed up to kill the Intis espionage officer who came to "solve" his little trouble. Sequence 5's "Marionettist", Rosago; I explored the underground building of Williams Street, and I also searched for information about Viscount Pund all day long. I was very tired.
He has never been so looking forward to entering Grey Fog Space, sorting out what he has gained during this period, and trying out some of his ideas in the past few days.
But Klein was very cautious. He was not sure whether the invisible bodyguard Miss had really left, so he continued to do his own thing at his usual pace.
Cook a delicious dinner to fill your stomach, read the newspaper to pass the time, and do a little indoor exercise...
It wasn't until late at night that he returned to the bedroom, closed the curtains to block out the light of the street lights and Moon, then took out the iron cigarette box and touched the "All-Black Eye" left behind by Rosago.
Along with the roar that can tear apart the spirit, dense black thin lines spread out all around, spreading from his limbs and joints to infinity, like the control ropes on a doll.
There is no thread belonging to bodyguard Miss.
After confirming that the other party had left, Klein quickly arranged the ceremony, summoned himself in Spirit Body state, took the cigarette box, and headed to Gray Fog.
On the old long table, the "All-Black Eye" in the cigarette box no longer reveals madness, as if the pollution inside it has Slumber Charm.
But Klein couldn't care about this at all. It was as if a small piece of memory had been repaired and reshaped in his mind.
After the "Eye of Wisdom" party, the face of the mysterious woman he had been trying to recall under the prompts of the bodyguard Miss changed from a featureless black-haired woman with freckles to a blur, and became like Faceless One.
The only thing left in his last memory was the purple eyes behind the mask.
"Bodyguard Miss is right. With such beautiful eyes, why didn't I leave the slightest impression?"
he murmured.
The only possibility is that some kind of force interfered with his memory at that time, causing him to mistake the purple eyes for black, making him unable to recall the specific appearance of the other party.
And Grey Fog Space can resist this power and eliminate its influence!
But why can't I remember the other person's face? Is it because the interval is so long that I have no impression at all? Or is there some power that even Gray Fog can't fully leverage, hiding all of this?
Ignoring the planned test on "All-Black Eye", Klein appeared on parchment and wrote down a divination word.
"The true identity of the lady I saw at the party."
Reciting the divination words silently, he leaned back on his chair and entered the Dream Invasion state with a trace of expectation.
In the blurry picture, Klein saw the steam train entering the fog-shrouded Backlund from the north, the ships passing through the Tussock River, the bridge across the river, and the row houses along the Tussock River.
Then the dream stopped.
"Insufficient information makes it impossible to divine her location?"
Looking at the parchment in front of him, Klein fell into deep thought.
This is similar to the first time he divined "Red Chimney" in Grey Fog Space. There was some feedback, but he failed to divine the specific result.
"It may also be that the opponent has powerful Anti-Divination means, and even Gray Fog that blocks interference cannot completely 'penetrate'... Of course, this is not to blame Gray Fog, it is my own lack of strength that prevents me from fully grasping its power."
From the clips I saw, it can be determined that the other party came to Backlund from another city, lives near the Tussock River, and is most likely in the Backlund Bridge Borough area... This is adjacent to Cherwood Borough where I live. Maybe she lives not far from me? But the picture is too blurry, and there are thousands of townhouses in Backlund. This is much harder than finding a red chimney in a small Tingen City.
Recalling his experience of searching for the "red chimney" with Angel, Klein's mouth curved up, but he quickly got rid of the memory with a serious expression.
This time, I don't have to go through so much trouble. I can rely on the help of more people, and I don't even need to go through the mouth of "Fool"...
He took out the "All-Black Eye" from the iron cigarette box that was no longer raving crazily, and a man wearing a hooded robe appeared across the long table.
This man had a sluggish expression and stiff movements. He was more like a puppet than a human. However, under the control of Klein through black silk threads, he quickly became expressive and moved freely.
"Welcome, new member, which Tarot Cards are you going to choose?"
Klein asked with a smile.
"World, I choose the 'World' card."
The man stroked his chin and made a hoarse sound.
