"One person is in the attic. Well, judging from the height, it should be on the fourth floor. Maybe it's to overlook the manor around the villa. The other person is next to the living room at the front entrance. I didn't notice him at all when I walked in just now..."
The bright red figures of the two Beyonder are extremely dazzling among the other ordinary people with light colors. Of course, Angel does not include the people, um, and dogs who have been confirmed to be Beyonder.
For example, "Justice" Miss. Although she claimed that she was looking for "Spectator" Potion, in the sight of the crimson eye, her body was already bright red, and the Golden Retriever wandering in the villa was also Beyonder Creature. As for Glaint... it's a pity that although he obtained the Potion formula, he is still an ordinary person.
Quickly locking the position of the two Beyonder who acted as the bodyguards of Earl's family, Angel immediately released his fingers, letting the obscene words gradually louder in his ears slowly disappear.
Sure enough, the Earl Hall family is indeed secretly protected by Beyonder. Presumably, this Earl is the top noble and an influential cabinet member with a net worth of more than ten million pounds. If the family is not protected by Beyonder, wouldn't it be like being at the mercy of others?
I heard that the Earl family are all believers of Evernight Goddess. Maybe these two Beyonders were arranged by Nighthawks, or even members of Nighthawks themselves...
Angel guessed.
Fortunately, the two Beyonders were far away from the bathroom, and their movements did not reveal their prying eyes, which made her feel relieved.
But Angel still needs to be fully prepared for the next behavior.
She waited for a moment, pressed the toilet button, and then opened the hot water valve next to the sink, letting the rising steam quickly cover the surface of the half-length mirror, making it blurry and unusable.
Then, she took out the Magic Mirror, which looked like a small dressing mirror, from her handbag, and carefully looked at her appearance in the mirror, like a beauty-loving woman who had to use her own dressing mirror because the mirror was blurry.
"Magic Mirror Magic Mirror told me the content of the conversation between the Hibbert Hall and Glaint."
She moved her lips slightly and recited the divination words silently. Then she tapped the mirror with her thumb, causing it to ripple like water ripples, showing what only she could see and hear.
The reason for performing divination within the vigilance range of the two Beyonder was because she had just come into contact with the two divination targets and could obtain the most information at this time. If she waited to leave Hall Family's villa, she might only be able to see a few words.
For your own Sequence 6's Potion, these risks are worth taking.
"Sir Dess Shaw also suggested this, but I need to choose the candidate. Do you have a suitable one?"
The mirror showed a dark room with the curtains drawn. The four people who had just been talking in the corridor were sitting at the coffee table, conspiring in low voices. Hibbert looked at Glaint and asked the question that he had not finished asking just now.
"Mary Gail, she is a member of the committee and a shareholder of Kauim Company. The company's main product is Smokeless Coal, and she is the beneficiary of the bill. The most important thing is that she and her husband are divorcing and are now isolated. She is very suitable to be the target this time."
Glaint said with a frown.
"Ms. Mary... I met her once. Very good, that's her. Keep your hands and feet clean and don't get caught, otherwise we will become a joke."
This sentence was said by Hibbert to another middle-aged man.
"Okay, Mr. Hall, I'll go find someone at East Borough. With a few more hands, no one will be able to trace us."
The picture on Magic Mirror faded, and Angel's own face was reflected again.
"Target... keep your hands and feet clean... are they planning to attack Ms. Mary? The chief secretary of Atmospheric Pollution Investigation Committee is plotting to attack her own members?"
Angel, whose heart was in turmoil but whose expression remained unchanged, put away Magic Mirror, as if looking at her makeup in a dressing mirror, then washed her hands and left the bathroom.
On the way, she briefly touched the "Crimson Eye" in her handbag. The two Beyonder bodyguards were still in place, while the extraordinary dog wandered to the other end of the villa, almost out of her sight.
Great, no one found out about my divination...
Angel felt relieved and returned to Reception Room under the leadership of the maid.
Several nobles were talking about whether "Black Emperor" was a boy or a girl. Christine, who had just shown an excited look, firmly believed that the grand thief was a female Beyonder because of the "Empress" card and because of There were rumors from people passing by the Capim Mansion, and Glaint, who had just returned here, thought it was a male, because Armored Crowned Ghost had more witnesses, and the ghost was over 1.8 meters tall, so it was unlikely to be a female.
"Or they are an organization. Some people use the 'Emperor' card as their identity symbol, others use 'Empress', and there are even other cards, such as 'Justice', such as 'Power'."
Cons momentarily forgot his identity as MI9 and thought about it expectantly.
An organization? It's a pity that the cards on Capim were given by Moriarty to me, and I... huh?
Angel suddenly reacted. If Cons's inference is correct and there really is such an organization that will use Tarot Cards to declare after killing the target, then let yourself Is Sherlock Moriarty, who became the "Emperor" and "Judgment" after Capim's death, really a member named "Black Emperor"?
"If there is such an organization, then I must choose the 'Justice' card!"
"Justice" Audrey narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, interrupting Angel's thoughts.
The party ended quickly, and several aristocratic children took their personal servants and left Hall Family's villa in a carriage. Since Angel came in a hired carriage, and Empress Borough, especially the wealthy residential area, did not have a subway, and Public Carriage had few lines, she might have to walk a while to find public transportation, or hire a carriage to go home.
"Miss Irene, please wait a moment."
Audrey stopped Angel who was about to leave.
At this time, apart from her, there were only Angel and Glaint, a few members of "Occult Salon" left in the room. The latter seemed to have already known Audrey's plan and did not show any surprise.
"There will be a Beyonder party later. It is the party that Ms. Fors mentioned last time, where someone sold the 'Spectator' formula. They were unable to come due to some issues, and I would like to invite you to attend."
After Audrey finished speaking, he looked at Glaint aside. The viscount also nodded and took over the topic:
"I also need to go to the party to buy the materials for 'Apothecary'. I don't have those two items in my family's treasure house."
He then lamented:
"That Serial Killer has finally been caught. Otherwise, if the Beyonder party continues to be postponed, I will have to ask my father's old friend to find a solution."
The Viscount, who had obtained the coveted Potion formula, had obviously been holding it in for a long time. At this time, he was able to attend the Beyonder party and purchase materials, with an expression of excitement on his face.
Angel wanted to leave immediately and go to Sevillea to report the divination results that shocked her, but then she thought that after leaving the villa with the two nobles, she might be able to find out some information about Hibbert to confirm the divination results, so she agreed.
And she guessed that Audrey asked her to go with him, probably because he needed to borrow her Beyonder identity. After all, this Earl daughter was not a member of Beyonder, and Glaint has not become the real Apothecary. The two of them should usually go to the Beyonder party under the accompaniment and protection of Xio or Fors. At this time, the other two are absent, so they can only count on her.
Riding Hall Family's carriage, the three of them first arrived at Viscount Glaint's house, leaving the maid and Susie at his home. They then transferred to another unmarked carriage. After several twists and turns, they changed to another carriage and arrived at the outskirts of North Borough, a three-story house that originally belonged to Backlund Medical College but was now almost abandoned.
"Aren't they worried about being discovered and reported when they hold a party in a place like this in broad daylight?"
Glaint asked curiously. It was also his first time here. At this time, he followed Audrey into a dressing room. Together they put on white coats, white masks and surgical caps, dressing themselves up like medical students coming for internship.
"If you are in North Borough, it is actually safer during the day than at night, because this area is under the jurisdiction of Church of Evernight's 'Nighthawks'. They, well, are all nocturnal creatures..."
Angel put on his mask and explained in a muffled voice, thinking of Tingen City's friends' habit of working on cases in the middle of the night.
"It's so eerie here. Even during the day, I feel like there are ghosts and evil spirits wandering around."
The Viscount murmured and couldn't help but shudder.
"Glaint, this is the Beyonder party. If any ghost or evil spirit appears, they will happily make it into materials, or capture it and use it as a servant." Audrey answered while leading the two of them to the other side of the locker room, where there was also a door, "Besides, don't we still have Miss Irene? She is the real Beyonder."
"Let me explain in advance, 'Seer' has no combat effectiveness..."
Angel smiled and added silently in his heart: Fortunately, I am not "Seer".
Pushing open the door, the three of them entered a large classroom, where there were already more than a dozen members who were also wearing white coats and using masks to cover their faces. They sat at a long table like medical students, facing the center of the classroom.
At the end of everyone's gaze, a transparent glass column stood erected, reaching up to the ceiling. The interior was filled with light yellow embalming fluid, and floating in it was a male corpse wearing a black academic uniform.
There are four wooden stands with skeletal specimens placed around them, and four equally transparent glass coffins with naked bodies preserved in embalming fluid.
"Ah wu..."
Viscount Glaint next to Angel let out a strange whimper after seeing the furnishings in the classroom clearly.
Amidst the pungent smell of preservatives, she looked at the Viscount, who was almost shrinking into a ball. The part of his face that was not covered by the mask had become as pale as his white coat, and his eyes were wide open, showing undisguised panic.
He moved closer to Angel, "Beyonder", almost touching each other before he stopped the trembling of his body.
Audrey, who was not here for the first time, whispered, "Follow me, find a place to sit down first."
Realizing that several people were already looking over here, Angel followed Audrey and sat down at the long table in the corner, sitting upright like the other participants.
Now there is only one textbook left, and I am back to my student days...
Cursing this weird gathering place in his heart, Angel waited for a few minutes. When no new members opened the door, the male corpse in the glass column suddenly opened his eyes, quickly glanced at the party members outside, then opened his mouth, and let the voice come out through the glass:
"Let the party begin."
