Early on Wednesday morning, Magic Mirror, which was carried by Angel, received the communication from Sherlock Moriarty.
She had already expected this, because yesterday's fifth page of "Backlund Morning News" published an advertisement for Ernst Trading Company, which meant that the Beyonder party hosted by "Eye of Wisdom" would be held on time at eight o'clock tonight.
It also means that her plan with Sherlock is about to begin.
"According to the previous plan, I will go to the nearest Police Station to report the crime later," Sherlock on the other side of the mirror seemed to be in the bathroom again, his voice a little low, "I will say that after receiving the threatening letter, I thought it was a prank, so I did not report the crime immediately, but then I thought of myself For my contribution to 'Serial Murder Case', I thought I was being targeted by the murderer's companions, so I went to report the crime. Also, by coincidence, a Detective I knew came to see me yesterday, and he also received a threatening letter, which will be an opportunity for me to report the crime and seek help."
"And I will attend today's Beyonder party, agree to the commission request of 'Eye of Wisdom', and participate in the search for the person behind the scenes as Beyonder who killed 'Devil Dog'. Under the protection of the official Beyonder, you will try not to reveal your identity, and you can also serve as a back-up for the attack."
Angel looked at the palm-sized Magic Mirror in front of him and replied.
"In fact, I suspect that I have been secretly monitored and protected by the official Beyonder, and there are signs of slight interference in my divination."
Is that why you hid in the bathroom and talked to me on the phone?
Angel curled his lips and ended the connection between the two mirrors as soon as possible to prevent the monitored Detective from revealing his true identity and strength.
Besides, she also has a lot of things that need to be completed as soon as possible. Once she joins "Eye of Wisdom"'s plan, Angel estimates that she won't have much free time to use before solving the secret Desire Apostle.
After hurriedly finishing breakfast, she first came to North Borough and the private Detective agency responsible for monitoring Lily Granger's home. Detective named Raymond was personally watching, and the person who received her was a young assistant.
Unfortunately, during more than a week of tracking, the man in the divination screen was not found. The man seemed to have disappeared after sending the last threatening letter. Angel even suspected that he was just writing the threatening letter to scare Lily, rather than preparing to actually take action.
However, according to the findings of Detective and his assistants, the Nighthawkss still have not given up protecting Lily Granger, which means that they have some intelligence that Angel does not know, and they still doubt the possibility of the threat coming true.
So Angel paid the fee for the next week in advance and asked Detective to continue to stare at the residence all day long. Although Nighthawks was in the light, she felt that it would be safer to have a group of people observing in secret.
Then, she went to Sevillea's residence in West Borough. Demoness of Pleasure had previously said that she would give her another task to prevent Trissy from escaping, but there had been no follow-up since that dance, making her almost think that the other party had forgotten about it.
This time when we came to the Baron Landon mansion, Sevillea was not at home. The housekeeper, who seemed to know something, told Angel that she would not have any other tasks recently and asked her to continue to maintain the relationship with the Earl Hall's family, that is, her friend relationship with the Audrey Hall.
Regarding the mysterious disappearance of Sevillea, Angel has some speculations.
According to the information obtained from Lola, as well as the information revealed by Sevillea himself, the Demoness Sect's High Sequence Beyonder, "Lady Despair" is likely to return to Backlund in the near future. Sevillea may be making some preparations for this, so that he does not care about the arrangements of his subordinates.
Angel was also happy like this. Before she figured out the weird things about Trissy, she didn't want to have any contact with him anymore. Demoness, who was worried about her identity, was keen on using various methods to escape. Angel always felt that sooner or later she would cause something big.
After leaving West Borough, she came to East Borough without stopping, and found Sherman on the second floor of that simple apartment.
The latter finally looked a bit like an "assassin" at this time, at least not as shy as when Angel first met him. Now he could tell at a glance that he was someone "stained with blood".
"Has the first goal been solved?"
Sitting down on the chair in the living room, Angel asked.
But she already had the answer in her heart.
"Yes, yes." Once he spoke, Sherman became the timid newbie again. "I spent the whole day following and observing him to find out his routine, but in the end I just killed him in his sleep. Those Shadow Lurking, Mighty Blow and other abilities were not used..."
"Isn't this great? Those abilities need to be used desperately. As long as you plan properly and wait patiently for opportunities, you won't be able to use them."
Angel praised the newbie, trying to make him more confident.
Sherman then continued to report on the results of tracking and investigating those "Baelen" in the past few days. One of them, Baelen, also from the Southern Continent, worked as a thug in a tavern. He slept soundly during the day and guarded the door at night. He had nothing to do with human traffickers. His appearance was different from the characteristics provided by Angel, and he had been excluded from suspicion.
The other two Baelen, Sherman and several of his subordinates are still under investigation, and the results should be available in the next few days.
Although this was a commission provided by Hanged Man of Tarot Club, because it involved human trafficking, it was more likely to be related to the Demoness Sect and Aurora Order. Angel was very interested in this. She asked Sherman to contact Communication Potion as soon as she had any news.
Afterwards, she helped Sherman choose the next assassination target, and left the apartment after giving some guidance on combat skills. Although this new assassin had a questionable personality, he had good talent. He had some insights into the role of "assassin" when he planned the assassination for the first time, which made Angel sigh at the Demoness Sect's vision in selecting members.
At night, the Beyonder party of "Eye of Wisdom" was held on time. When Angel came to the venue wearing a hooded robe and an iron mask, he was surprised to find that Sherlock did not attend.
"He may be under the protection of 'Machinery Hivemind' now..."
Thinking secretly, Angel was sitting in a corner of the room, and then he was surprised to see Fat Apothecary and Darkwill sitting near the midfield.
"Does anyone sell the Potion formula of 'Warrior'?"
This "Beast Tamer" has obviously found a satisfactory animal and is selecting a suitable Potion to turn it into Beyonder Creature.
"Aren't you 'Apothecary'? What do you want warrior Potion to do?"
"Black Snake", who had always had a bad relationship with him, said in a sharp voice.
Darkwill hummed lightly and did not answer him, but repeated his needs.
"Besides 'Warrior', do you need other Potion? For example, 'Apprentice', I can sell it to you together with the subsequent Sequence One, so that you don't have to buy it everywhere every time."
Seeing that Beast Tamer was a little anxious, Angel took the opportunity to promote his formula.
"Is it you?" The other party heard her voice and asked in confusion, "You should know that what I need is Potion, a warrior, who has enough fighting ability, or... or your Pathway."
Fortunately, this guy has the most basic sense and did not reveal my Pathway...
Angel frowned and looked at this guy who spoke freely, feeling secretly glad in his heart.
"Combat ability? Then you can go find 'Spectator'. Their ancient name is 'Big Dragon' Pathway!"
Another member of the party who was not too concerned about the excitement spoke up, with a sarcastic and smiling tone.
After the party, Angel shook her head slightly when the waiter came to lead her away. The waiter understood, bypassed her sofa, and took the others away one by one. In the end, only she and the old gentleman "Eye of Wisdom" were left in the center of the room.
"I'm surprised that you changed your mind. Well, it seems that your partner didn't attend the party today either?"
After watching the last member leave, the waiter closed the door, and then Eye of Wisdom looked at Angel in the corner and asked.
"He wasn't interested in it, so he didn't come over," Angel made up a random reason to cover for Sherlock, "Let's talk about the details of the commission and the remuneration I can get."
