Walking silently on the street, Angel could feel the Nighthawks's eyes briefly lingering on her, but she entered and exited through the back door of Lily's house and did not show up on the street. The other party just subconsciously followed her back, quickly withdrew his gaze and continued to scan the street.
It wasn't until he turned the corner and left the other party's sight that Angel breathed a sigh of relief, got on the hired carriage, and left here.
Her destination was a nearby private Detective club.
That's right, the "traditional" method is what Angel used in Tingen City, hiring a private Detective to help keep an eye on Lily Granger's home, waiting for the guy who sent the threatening letter to come to your door.
Although the Nighthawks I met just now is probably doing the same thing, Angel decided to solve the problem in his own way instead of waiting for the results from Nighthawks.
Not far from Technical College, she found a private Detective club. She borrowed paper and pen and quickly drew a portrait of the middle-aged man in the divination, marked the hair color and eye color, and handed it to the Detective who received her.
The asking price for all-day tracking is 10 pounds per week, which is a high price, but they should arrange for 2-3 people to take turns to ensure that someone is watching 24 hours a day, so according to Detective, "It's expensive for what it is."
If the target person is found, they also need to track the other person to the hiding place, and it is best to find out the other person's identity. This is an additional service and will cost extra afterwards.
At this moment, Angel almost wanted to find Sherlock Moriarty Detective, whom she knew well, to do this.
But considering that Sherlock is named Beyonder, the asking price will only be higher, and asking him to do the surveillance work is overqualified, so in the end, he handed over 10 pounds in pain, paid the amount for a week in advance, and hired Detective and his men to monitor Lily Granger's house.
"I hope the 10 pounds spent is worth it and I can find the guy who wrote the threatening letter. Huh, this was supposed to be Nighthawks's job, but it's a pity that I can't ask them to reimburse..."
Thinking bitterly, Angel left North Borough. This time she tried to ride Steam Subway once, and successfully used the "Good Luck" revolver to blow up a cylinder on the front of the subway car, delaying the journey of hundreds of people.
On Saturday, Angel came to East Borough's Sherman home. This time she climbed up to the second floor from the back of the apartment and entered the other person's home through the window. Before she even left the bedroom, she saw Sherman coming over with a vigilant face.
"Good, you have made some progress this time."
Looking at the novice assassin who was assuming a less-than-standard posture to respond to the enemy, Angel nodded with satisfaction. Even though the "assassin" Potion has a strengthening effect on the body and several useful Beyonder Ability, combat skills still have to be explored and learned by oneself. He can detect someone breaking into the home, which is already better than last week.
After questioning, Angel learned about Sherman's actions over the past week. He practiced meditation and Spirit Vision every day, and also tried to train "assassin" skills at home, such as Mighty Blow, levitation, etc. Beyonder Ability.
"Dark Vision is also very useful. Now I don't need to light the gas lamp at night, which can save a lot of money."
Sitting in the simple living room, Sherman said a little shyly.
These words made Angel feel a little ashamed. She finally understood how Sevillea felt about her.
Perhaps the two poorest members of the Demoness Sect are concentrated in this palm-sized room...
After a brief embarrassment, she changed the subject and asked Sherman if she had found the whereabouts of the human trafficker Baelen.
"I found some former friends in a nearby tavern and asked them to search for the person named Baelen through their own connections, but nothing was found yet. Maybe he is not at East Borough, but at the dock, South District and other places, where poor people are also concentrated and suitable for hiding."
Sherman replied, adding his own analysis while reporting, which made Angel somewhat impressed by the quality of this newbie.
"In addition, I found that East Borough people in many places are spreading the belief of 'Creator'. They think that instead of believing in one of the seven gods, it is better to go directly to the church and pray to the source of 'Creator'. He is in everyone's body and has never left... As long as you pray to him, you will be more relaxed while alive, have meat to eat every day, and after death, you will get Redemption and enter his kingdom of heaven.
"These words are very tempting, especially when farmers around them flock to Backlund to grab the few jobs, many unemployed workers believe this."
Listening to the preaching words recited by Sherman, Angel felt a sense of familiarity, and quickly found the source from his memory, and found that it was the same as the "True Creator" claimed by "Aurora Order" E" belief is very similar, but after some changes, it no longer blindly promotes Creator itself, but focuses on more direct "profits", making the teachings more understandable and convenient for dissemination at the bottom.
It seems that what "Justice" Audrey said on Tarot Club is that the cult belief is gradually spreading among the people at the bottom of East Borough. I just don't know what the purpose of "Aurora Order" is. Is it simply to expand the number of believers, or is it for some larger conspiracy?
Of course, there is nothing Angel can do about it. We can only hope that Orthodox Church can detect the problem early and intervene, or that the royal family can solve the survival problems of the people at the bottom and eliminate the soil for the breeding and spread of cults.
"You should focus on Baelen, or other incidents involving a large number of missing people. Well, if you know friends who are unemployed, you can find some smart people and hire them to help you expand the search scope."
Angel asked Sherman not to pay too much attention to the issue of evil god belief.
The latter nodded and did not mention the matter again. Instead, he asked about "Assassin" Beyonder Ability's usage skills. Angel did not hold back and taught him some of his own experience, experiencing the joy of being a teacher.
Unexpectedly, although Sherman has a somewhat indecisive personality, he learns knowledge very quickly, draws inferences from one example, and quickly absorbs the skills of Professor Angel.
If he were not born in East Borough, he might be able to get into a good school and have a decent job...
Angel looked at the other party's somewhat neutral face and suddenly asked:
"You took the initiative to take 'Assassin' Potion, can you tell me the reason?"
Sherman, who was thinking hard, was stunned for a moment, hesitated, and then asked after a while:
"I heard that Sequence 7 of Assassin Pathway, which is the third Potion taken, is called 'Witch'?"
"Yes, since you asked this question, you must know what changes will occur in the body at that stage, right?"
No wonder Sevillea said that I would be surprised when I heard the reason. It turned out to be the case. It really surprised me...
Looking at Sherman, whose eyes instantly revealed a look of anticipation, Angel sighed secretly. She already knew the reason why the other party took the initiative to choose "Assassin".
"You already have ambitious goals, but are you prepared for the difficulties along the way?"
Angel took out the dagger from his waist, pierced it on the table, and then let go. The slightly trembling dagger made Sherman's expectant expression blend with a hint of panic.
"... Yes, they told me, but, but I..."
"You can try to choose people who do a lot of evil, such as the first life in your hand, the foreman who bullied you. Of course, his crime is not worthy of death, but East Borough has no shortage of damn scum. I think you should know a lot of them, and you have even thought about how to deal with them, right?"
"I..."
Sherman's face was full of horror, as if he still couldn't accept his identity and the path he would embark on in the future.
Limited to the oath made in front of Goddess's Sword, Angel could not inform the other party of "Acting Method". He could only guide him to follow the literal meaning of "assassin" and perform actions consistent with his identity. At most, he would reduce the casualties of innocent people and try to point the sharp blade at the small part that deserved death.
If Sherman cannot even perform such screening, then Angel is not prepared to promote him to the higher Sequence. Compared with "assassins", "Instigator" and "Witch" who have no bottom line will only pose a greater threat to the normal social order.
After leaving the dagger given to the other party as a weapon and the 10 pounds used as Sherman's fund to recruit an informant, Angel left here. When she returned to the street, she looked back at the second floor. Sherman's somewhat confused and helpless figure stood at the window, looking over here.
Sighing again, Angel tightened his hood and walked quickly towards his safe house.
Why wasn't she confused for further "acting"?
With this melancholy, Angel opened the door on the second floor of the simple apartment building and came to the one-bedroom apartment he rented. Under Dark Vision, there was an unmarked envelope next to the door crack.
