Last time, in order to find the whereabouts of Lanevus, I forced a divination on "True Creator", which almost killed Angel. If it weren't for Hidden Holy Emblem's protection, I'm afraid she would have turned into an unrecognizable corpse in the sewer of East Borough.
But this time, just seeing a Sapphire Ring made her feel as scared as facing the aura of an evil god.
It turns out that Trissy was not affected by "0-08", but was calculated by the Demoness Sect. His body contained the aura of an evil God, just like Lanevus, just like... Megose? Then is the aura of "Primordial Demoness" that Demoness Sect believes in inside her body?
Or maybe it's a combination of both. Ince Zangwill, who cooperated with the Demoness Sect, used 0-08 to plan this incident, and Trissy's weirdness was just another insurance.
Angel didn't dare to think about it, and he had no time to think about it. Trissy on the opposite side of the mirror was looking at this side with expectant eyes, with a faint smile on his face, which was poignant and endearing.
No, that's just Demoness of Pleasure's method...
Angel gathered his thoughts and shook his head firmly.
"I can't promise you for the time being. Sevillea is pretty good to me, and the promised reward has never been delayed. I have no reason to betray her."
She doesn't really think the middle-level members of the Demoness Sect are very honest, but she would rather face the other Demoness of Pleasure than the Trissy at the center of the mysterious Vortex.
"Oh, betrayal... What kind of betrayal can be said for people who come together through profit and deception? You can think about it carefully. Are you going to never get ahead within the sect, or are you going to do me a small favor and get the key to Demigod?"
Demigod? She even knows the Potion formula of Sequence 4?
Angel raised her eyebrows, but before she could answer, Communication Potion had already evaporated, and the Ice Mirror in front of her returned to normal in a flash, reflecting her blurry face.
Seeing the round-faced Witch's doubtful and wary face disappear into the mirror, Trissy sighed softly and reached out to wipe away the remaining dark red potion on the dressing mirror. Black Flame sprang up in his hand, burning the mirror and the whole room, cleaning up all traces.
"I didn't expect this guy to look stupid, but unexpectedly alert. Who was she before she became Witch? Cole? Mason? I should have known more about those colleagues who had never been masked before, instead of just focusing on promotion..."
Looking at Sapphire Ring on her little finger, Trissy was a little curious. She was already prepared to be manipulated by an unknown force during the conversation today and stop asking for help. Unexpectedly, the conversation went very smoothly. Although the other party did not agree to help escape, she had put some chips on the table and aroused the other party's interest.
Next, I will continue to play the woman who tries to escape in a stupid way...
With a smile on her lips, she opened the door and walked out of the secret room, leaving her bedroom. As soon as she came to the corridor, she immediately felt several eyes locked on her. They were the maid and housekeeper who were responsible for monitoring and protecting her.
In addition, there was also a blazing gaze that fell on Trissy's face. She looked back and found that it was Prince Edessak's friend, Riding Instructor Talim Dumont.
Gentlemen, with short curly brown hair and wearing a black woolen coat, faced Trissy and stopped one meter away under the vigilant gaze of the maid beside him.
"Miss Triss, the horse you asked to choose last time has arrived. It has a docile personality and is well-trained. It will not shake the beautiful lady off the horse again."
"Great, I need to see it first."
The two of them talked and gradually walked towards the stables in a corner of the manor, away from the sight of others.
"How have you considered that matter?"
Talim lowered his voice, and his eyes fell on the old housekeeper who was looking at the door of the villa.
"I mentioned it to Edessak, and he got furious and told me to stop talking. I, I don't know what to do..."
Trissy stroked Mare, which was brought by Talim, and replied in its snoring, with hesitation and pain in his tone.
"You know, that is the best choice for both of you. As long as you are willing to leave Backlund, I can find a way!"
This Riding Instructor's eyes were burning, which made Trissy unbearable. He had to turn his head and said nothing, but there was a trace of expectation in his eyes.
Talim understood and led the horse towards the depths of the stable. Behind him, the newly promoted "Demoness of Pleasure" had a cold smile on his lips.
Late at night, Angel was in the study summarizing the contents of today's call with Trissy, preparing to inform Lola at the right time. Although these messages contained important clues, they were not considered urgent, so she did not use Communication Potion in advance.
Although Trissy told a lot of secrets in order to ask for help and impress Angel, but in summary, she found that apart from knowing the hiding place of the other party, being able to report it to Nighthawks at critical moments, and interfering with the Demoness Sect's plan by capturing or killing Trissy, there was not much useful information.
The only useful one is probably the Sapphire Ring of Trissy, which is probably no less than the Mystical Item of 0-08, and may even be related to "Primordial Demoness"...
Her thoughts were interrupted by the coldness in her chest, and the fear of peeping at God spread throughout her body, making her whole body feel cold.
Oh, it turns out that Magic Mirror hidden in the chest reacted...
She scratched her head, took out Magic Mirror and looked at the mirror. She found that the dark red potion that had been applied around it had seeped into the surrounding glass. The screen flickered in the area circled by them, and a familiar figure appeared in it.
"Sherlock? Is there something urgent?"
After seeing the person on the other side of the mirror clearly, Angel held Magic Mirror a little further away so that the other person could see the scene on his side clearly, and then asked.
"It's not urgent, but I think I should tell you, otherwise I might not have the chance in the future."
Sherlock's unhurried answer made Angel feel nervous.
"No chance?" she blurted out, and then immediately thought of a possibility, "'Desire Apostle'?"
"That's right."
Sherlock on the other side of the mirror was bent over awkwardly. The surrounding environment was small and cramped, as if he was in the bathroom. After hearing Angel's words, he showed a wry smile and nodded.
"After leaving the party yesterday, I found a letter written in blood as soon as I got home. It said the content mentioned by 'Eye of Wisdom', a crime notice for November 30. The only good news is that he regarded me as an ordinary Detective. For the time being, he only sent a threatening letter and took no further action."
"You should have agreed to 'Eye of Wisdom''s commission then!" Angel couldn't help complaining, "Do you need me to go to your place now?"
"If that 'Desire Apostle' had delivered the letter a few hours earlier, I would have definitely agreed, but it's not too late now. I accept protection as Detective Moriarty, and you continue to be in the dark."
Angel suddenly realized.
"So what you mean when you say 'no chance' to tell me is that you plan to accept the protection of the official Beyonder?"
she asked, relieved.
"Yes, just like Mr. 'Eye of Wisdom' said, I plan to report the crime before the next party, and then contact other Detectives who have received threatening letters, and suggest that they report the crime together, accept the surveillance and protection of the official Beyonder, and fish out the Desire Apostle. And you can accept the commission through 'Eye of Wisdom' and act in secret to increase the success rate of the operation.
"You didn't receive a threatening letter, which means that Desire Apostle either has no way to kill you, Devil Dog, or you can't find your location with Anti-Divination at all. You are hiding in secret and can solve this incident without revealing your identity.
"Of course, there is a certain risk..."
"Just do it!"
Before Sherlock could finish speaking, Angel replied.
She originally thought that the other party did not want to get involved in this matter, so after he refused "Eye of Wisdom", he also refused the commission. Unexpectedly, Sherlock was not nervous at all because he had not received the threatening letter, which made her dumbfounded.
"In short, it's best not to come to my place these days. Maybe there will be an official Beyonder targeting my home soon. It will probably be Machinery Hivemind, because I am a believer of Church of Steam for the time being."
The two exchanged some details about reporting the crime and squatting in secret. Sherlock drew Triangle Holy Emblem on his chest, and then the Fool's Believer interrupted the picture in the mirror.
