It was not until late at night that Angel returned to the safe house located in East Borough after passing through sewers throughout the city and unlit alleys.
The surrounding residents had already turned off their lights to rest, and she did not dare to light the gas lamp. Instead, she went to the bedroom in the dark, took off her blood-stained clothes, slightly treated the wounds on her body, and put on another set of clothes.
While on the road, Angel took the Healing Potion bought from Apothecary Darkwill. At this time, Ms. D passed "Arbiter" Pathway The wound caused by Beyonder Ability has been mostly healed, but there is still a small amount of blood seeping out, which quickly wets the dressing gauze. Fortunately, the medicine made by "Apothecary" through Beyonder Ability also has bactericidal ability, avoiding the possibility of subsequent wound infection.
After taking care of these things, she had time to sit at the desk in the bedroom and carefully study tonight's harvest.
After Ms. D died, there was no doubt that Beyonder Characteristic was precipitated, but apart from the dagger that looked like it was made of bone, there were actually two different Beyonder Characteristics. This was the most curious thing for Angel.
First, he picked up the object with a hint of light wrapped in the darkness, Angel placed it behind the palm-sized Magic Mirror, stroked the mirror, and performed a Magic Mirror Divination with it as the target.
"Magic Mirror Magic Mirror Tell me, why does the owner of Beyonder Characteristic pretend to be someone else?"
This is the issue she is most concerned about at the moment, not to mention that the remaining part of the characteristic that belongs to Ms. D will decrease rapidly over time. If the divination is not done immediately, it is very likely that no results will be obtained.
Some picture fragments quickly appeared on the mirror. Just as Angel was worried, several hours passed and the divination results were in pieces. She only vaguely heard "Earl's industry", "Duke", "next year's plan" and other unclear phrases, but one thing that is certain is that Ms. D does intend to become Audrey, close to the Earl Hall.
"Telepathist" Audrey, who is good at observing other people's expressions and movements, was not able to spot her disguise. If Earl Hall didn't have the powerful Beyonder beside him, she would most likely be able to get past her!
Thinking with some fear, Angel stroked Magic Mirror and asked the second question.
"Magic Mirror Magic Mirror Tell me, which Sequence does this Beyonder Characteristic belong to?"
A windowless secret room soon appeared in the mirror. Ms. D, who was wearing a black robe, looked at a piece of parchment with unclear contents, and then prepared a cup of Potion that was as red as blood. He slowly approached a tall man who was being tortured by a cross in the corner, and drank all the Potion in one gulp. Then the whole person seemed to turn into a shadow, attached to the man's body.
As the man screamed at the top of his lungs, his body melted into a pool of flesh and blood, and a naked Ms. D emerged from the flesh and blood. The latter trembled and knelt on the ground, unable to stand up for a long time.
The mirror surface became calm, but Angel's heart did not calm down for a long time.
According to Lola, starting from the promotion of Sequence 6 to Sequence 5, you need to take the corresponding Promotion Ritual when taking Potion, obviously the Ms. D in the divination screen is like this, so this Beyonder Characteristic should be the characteristics of "Shepherd" after death.
Unfortunately, the divination information was insufficient, and the formula for "Shepherd" Potion was not obtained, and the ceremony was incomplete. She only knew that her promotion led to the death of a man, but the identity of the other party, Sequence, was completely unknown.
Based on her understanding of how difficult it is for "Devil" to be promoted to Sequence 5, I am afraid that the sacrifice for him to be promoted to "Shepherd" is at least a similar Sequence, or even Beyonder of Sequence 5...
Although no more information could be obtained, what Luck knows is that the divination process went very smoothly, and Beyonder Characteristic was not contaminated by Ms. D's loss of control before his death. This Sequence 5's Beyonder Characteristic means Gold Pound that far exceeds the characteristics of Sequence 6, or even a Mystical Item that has the ability of "Grazing".
Carefully placing it back on the table, Angel looked at the flat object next to it, about the same size as a human face, with constantly changing colors and surface textures.
It is said to be about the same size as a human face, but in fact it looks like human skin peeled off a human face, but there are no blood marks or subcutaneous tissue on both sides. The surface is constantly changing, sometimes with skin lines, sometimes like hard stone.
Next to it is the last harvest of the night. It is about 20 centimeters long, with a sharp top, shaped like a dagger, but with a pale surface and a slight bulge at the end, like a human leg bone that has been violently broken.
With a slight touch, Angel felt bursts of inexhaustible strength in her body. She knew that this item had probably been integrated with part of Ms. D's body and could be used directly like the "Crimson Eye", but she didn't know the side effects, so she didn't dare to try further.
Through Magic Mirror Divination, she quickly confirmed that the "human skin" came from Beyonder of "Faceless" Sequence, and the leg bone dagger was Beyonder Characteristic of "Dawn Paladin".
If the divination result is correct, it means that after the death of "Shepherd", all the Beyonder Characteristic owned by her "Grazing" soul will be separated one by one, including the Faceless and Dawn Paladin that have been obtained, but there must be other characteristics that have not yet been separated out, such as a certain Sequence of "Interrogator" Pathway, a certain Sequence that controls Flame Spear...
There was also the "Crimson Eye" that she stuffed into Ms. D's body at the critical moment. The characteristics of "Rose Bishop" and the contamination belonging to "True Creator" on it disappeared. Perhaps together with other delayed precipitation characteristics, they were picked up by the official Beyonder who arrived later.
But the situation was urgent at that time, and the "Black Emperor" ghost transformed by Sherlock was delaying time on the ground, blocking the arrival of the official Beyonder. She could only quickly pick up some of the precipitated characteristics and leave the scene.
Even the two copies of Beyonder Characteristic that have been obtained have been combined with some body tissues to form a strange state of half-character, half-Mystical Item.
The former can be directly covered on the face and turn into different faces according to the user's intention. It seems that Ms. D is likely to use the ability of "Faceless" to change into the appearance of Escalante, deceiving Audrey; the latter can increase the user's power to Earth Mother. This is the ability of the characteristic itself, and is a very original usage.
"Perhaps with the help of the power of 'Artisan', we can further process them and make them into real Mystical Item. Although it will have negative effects, the effect will be more complete. Unfortunately, I only know one Artisan, she is still a member of 'Machinery Hivemind'. If I hand over these Beyonder Characteristic, especially the characteristics of 'Shepherd' to her, it will definitely expose my involvement in tonight's battle..."
Angel looked at the human skin and leg bone daggers on the table and fell into deep thought.
"Let's ask on Tarot Club first. Mr. Hanged Man may have other Artisan channels. The disposal of the loot also needs to be discussed with Miss Justice to avoid exposing our identities..."
After thinking about it, she decided to wait for tomorrow's Tarot Club before disposing of these trophies.
Put the "Shepherd" characteristic into a box that isolates Spirituality, and place the other two semi-combined characteristics separately to prevent them from being further affected by other objects and merging into something more inexplicable. Then Angel put on his hood, silently recited Honorific Name from Mr. Fool, and made tonight's report.
"Mr. Fool," after reciting Honorific Name of Fool, she first reported tonight's events in detail, and then said, "Thanks to the help of your believer Sherlock Moriarty, I have avoided the arrest of the official Beyonder. He has borne the corresponding risks, and I am willing to pay a certain price for it."
After a moment, she added:
"In addition, please tell 'Justice' Miss that she will soon face the official Beyonder's inquiry and review and needs to prepare for this. If 'Nighthawks' is responsible for this matter, she may need a little help from you."
Judging from Angel's two-month Nighthawks experience, Audrey is likely to face the first inquiry the next morning. She is a victim of the incident. Official Beyonder will not use strong methods to ask about the situation at that time, but if "Nighthawks" is responsible, Nightmare can get the information they need in a less violent way.
Angel has the confidence to lie in dreams. Audrey, as Sequence 8's "Telepathist", does not have such ability. Currently, only Mr. Fool can help her.
And no matter how Audrey responds, she, as "Irene Watson" who appeared with her at the scene, will be exposed to the sight of the official Beyonder. The two escorts and personal maid Anne who followed her to the seminar have seen her and know her apparent identity. Even if Audrey lies to take herself out, once the scope of evidence collection is expanded, she cannot hide it from anyone.
"Fortunately, this is just my false identity. As believers of Evernight Goddess, the Earl Hall family is likely to face the scrutiny of Nighthawks. Their methods are relatively 'mild' and will make Audrey invite me to the Hall Family, and then questioned me through Dream Invasion, Spirit Channeling, etc., instead of enlarging the review of everyone, and even investigated Sevillea. As for communicating with each other in dreams, I have rich experience..."
She recalled tonight's battle and the various loopholes in her apparent identity after arriving at Backlund, and quickly formulated a corresponding plan.
Then, she glanced at Moon outside the window, closed the curtains, and lay directly on the bed. Fighting against the pain from the wounds in various parts of her body and the desire she had accumulated after taking off "Madness Ring", she gradually fell asleep.
