After leaving the dance, wandering around East Borough, passing the safe house and returning home, it was already late at night.
Angel came to the basement, carefully used Frost to form an ice surface, and applied Communication Potion obtained from Trissy around the mirror to form an oval closed area. This used up about one-third of the medicine, which meant that the same communication could only be carried out twice.
The cold mirror quickly turned into pitch black, and then the scene on the opposite side appeared. The other mirror seemed to be placed in a dark and lightless room. Although Angel had Dark Vision, this ability could not reach the other side through Spirit World, so it was almost impossible to see the environment on the other side clearly.
"Hello?"
She greeted cautiously.
There was silence on the other side.
Could it be that this is the mirror where Trissy has pre-applied the medicine, and she is not next to it?
Angel frowned and looked at Ice Mirror. The medicine around the mirror was evaporating rapidly, and the remaining bits gradually melted and flowed along the edge of the mirror, like fresh blood. When these medicines disappeared completely, the connection between the two mirrors at Spirit World would be interrupted.
After continuing to wait for several minutes, just when Angel thought that this communication was going to end in vain, she caught a glimpse of a piece of paper with something written on it in the corner of the mirror. Due to the dim environment, she could only get closer to Ice Mirror and look at it carefully, and she could clearly see the words on it the moment the contact was interrupted.
"Contact again at five o'clock on Sunday afternoon."
Moving the useless Ice Mirror to the sink and letting it melt slowly, Angel returned to the study and thought carefully about the note he just saw.
"Trissy should have prepared all this a long time ago. She left the note in a secret room in advance, as well as the mirror with Communication Potion painted on it in front of the note. In this way, no matter who she hands the potion to, the other party can see the note during the first contact and determine the time of the next contact... The potion in the test tube can barely be used three times, leaving enough room for mistakes..."
Looking at the dark red potion in his hand that was one-third missing, Angel frowned in confusion.
"But why did she go to such trouble to contact me? Couldn't she..."
Angel suddenly remembered what happened when he saw the other party at the dance tonight. At that time, Trissy was just about to say what he asked her to help him, but suddenly he seemed to be a different person. His expression, demeanor and words were completely different from before. He even hurriedly left the balcony and left the person he wanted to ask for help.
"Could it be that Trissy knew that such a situation would occur, so he prepared Communication Potion and Magic Mirror in advance so that he could still contact me after an accident, or any Demoness Sect The person sent to contact her? But how can she ensure that this person will not leak the secret... Oh, I remember she said that she has failed several times to escape. It seems that even she has no hope for this operation, it is just a struggle..."
After thinking about this, Angel decided to wait until tomorrow, that is, Sunday afternoon, to contact Trissy to see what the other party's plans were before deciding whether to further contact her.
Although she does not have a good impression of the real murderer of "Alfalfa Tragedy", Trissy currently seems to want to deal with the Demoness Sect, and even has some kind of ability involved in him. The power of creating a "coincidence" that can make her involuntarily become Prince's mistress may become the key to exploring Demoness Sect's plan and finding Ince Zangwill.
On Friday, Angel came to the Detective club not far from Backlund Technical College, and saw private Detective who looked a little bad because he stayed up late for a long time to follow.
"Watson, my assistant and I have been continuously monitoring the target residence this week, but we did not find the suspicious man you mentioned."
Detective named Raymond handed a thin stack of documents to Angel. The latter looked through it and found that it was the record of all outsiders who had been near Lily Granger's rented house this week. It contained the time, general appearance and clothing of the other party, and information about whether they had entered the house.
Judging from their age, most of them are classmates and friends of the same age as Lily, and there is no middle-aged man who sent the threatening letter.
"In addition, during the process of squatting, we also discovered another group of people. They were also secretly observing the house and following the lady. Since the other party was also very vigilant, we did not follow her, and your commission did not include this."
"Just in case, my assistant drew their faces. Are they the private Detective you commissioned?"
Having said this, Raymond looked at Angel with doubtful eyes.
"No, I only entrusted you..."
Angel took a look at the portrait and immediately realized that one of the two rough sketches was the male "Nighthawks" she saw on the street outside her door when she went to Lily Granger's house. Although they only met once, Angel still remembered his appearance because of his identity.
The other one is more familiar. It was Sealed Artifact who once went from Backlund to Tingen City, escorted Sealed Artifact "2-049" and helped Tingen Team capture Ray Bieber. Find Lorotta of Antigonus Family Notebook. She is also a member of the Backlund Nighthawks team and is the "Gravedigger" of Sequence 8.
When she saw the former in front of Lily's house, Angel suspected that the Nighthawkss of Backlund were using Lily to "fish", trying to find the person behind the threatening letter. Now she saw another acquaintance also following him, which made her confirm this.
"I know them. They are people with Sivellaus Yard. They may have received a report and are also guarding the man who sent the threatening letter."
Angel couldn't expose Nighthawks, so he made up an identity to explain the origins of the two Nighthawks. Of course, this is not a complete fabrication. Nighthawks does have the rank of inspector Backlund.
"The police were involved? So why did you hire us?"
This explanation made Detective Raymond even more confused.
"Because I don't trust Sivellaus Yard. They are arrogant and inefficient, and they don't bother to explain the progress of the case to the victims. To be honest, compared to them, I trust private Detective who collect money and act efficiently."
"Oh, yes... they have always been like this. In the recent serial murder case that has been making a lot of noise, Sivellaus Yard has not caught the murderer for two months. In the end, it was only thanks to a few experienced Detectives who analyzed the murderer's identity and killing patterns that the murderer was caught. Several Detectives who made contributions shared the reward of thousands of pounds!"
Angel pretended to have a deep hatred for the police and successfully dispelled the other party's suspicion. This Detective even regarded some rumors about the Devil murder case as the merits of his colleagues and boasted a little.
Of course, after bragging, he still received a lot of money. Angel spent another 10 pounds as follow-up fees for the next week, which made her already dry wallet worse.
Fortunately, there will be a Beyonder party held by "Eye of Wisdom" tomorrow. If she can sell some Sequence 9 formulas that are easy to sell there, she can greatly Earth Mother improve her financial situation.
The rally held by Mr. A of "Aurora Order" is also held on the same night. If you choose to sell the formula, it is obviously easier at the rally of Mr. A. But Angel, who had just killed Ms. D and destroyed Aurora Order's plan, would never dare to appear in front of this Oracle, even if it was difficult for the other party to see through his multiple disguises.
"I didn't expect you to contact me so quickly. Did you get some information?"
A luxuriously decorated bedroom appeared on the mirror smeared with the potion provided by Lola Swann. Demoness of Pleasure, wearing a silk robe and with his black hair pulled high, appeared in front of Angel with a lazy look on his face.
It was already late on Friday night. Angel had been busy all day, making various Charm, potions and special bullets, and then she remembered to have regular contact with this "collaborator". If not, she would have been lying in a warm bed, instead of making this "video phone" that transcended the times in the dark basement.
"Yes, I heard a lot from Sevillea."
In order to show appropriate sincerity, Angel did not wear "Madness Ring", but once again used Faceless's Beyonder Characteristic to create the face he showed to the other party that night, and sat in front of Ice Mirror and said.
"Very well, I'm all ears."
Lola showed a bright smile.
