Two Lily Granger?

The Lily in the distance obviously hasn't noticed the abnormality at the door of her house. She lowered her head and walked slowly towards here, but "Lorotta"'s eyes were already the color of lava, her lips were slightly opened, and she spat out the dirty words Devil:

"Slow!"

The body of the other "Lily" behind her stiffened instantly, already pinched together, and the thumb and middle finger that were about to snap were frozen in the air. Then, invisible threads spread rapidly from all directions, wrapping her body tightly. At this time, "Lorotta" turned around and looked at the blond girl with purple eyes and a cold smile on her face.

The next second, bright yellow flames burst out from all over the body of the unable to move girl, and disappeared in the flames with a "pop" sound.

"Lorotta" had already taken out the revolver with one hand and touched "Magician Pocket Watch" with the other hand, but after hesitating for a moment, he still did not press the crown.

The opponent is "Faceless", or at least Sequence 6. The distance and usage interval of Flaming Jump are stronger than the Sequence 7 "Magician" Beyonder Characteristic owned by "Magician Pocket Watch". He has no chance to catch up with the opponent.

Moreover, the real Lily Granger's exclamation came from behind. She turned back and glanced at another panicked girl with blond hair and purple eyes. She reached out and brushed her body, disappearing from the other person's horrified eyes.

Angel squatted on the roadside for five minutes before the three Nighthawks who had a conflict with her hurried back to Lily's house, making her sigh secretly.

"If I hadn't come here in advance and discovered the conspiracy of 'Faceless', I'm afraid Lily would have been deceived by her..."

During the waiting time just now, she had already guessed the real purpose of "Faceless" pretending to be Lily:

First of all, the three Nighthawks being followed were most likely "Faceless" herself, or her accomplices lured her away through some method. Even now, it seems that Kaliwa Dupont's actions may have originated from the instructions of this group of people, with the purpose of finding opportunities to lure Nighthawks away from Lily.

Secondly, this person "Faceless" came to Lily's home. If Lily was at home, he would pretend to be Nighthawks. If Lily was not there, he would pretend to be Lily and wait for Nighthawks to return. And her real purpose is probably the missing Intis student she mentioned, Xie Like Madan, and the box he left for Lily.

Finally, Nighthawks probably wanted to wait and see, but they thought that the one who came to Lily would be Cole Granger, so they prepared special ammunition to deal with stealth, but they did not expect that they missed the target and almost caught Angel, but instead allowed "Faceless" to take advantage of the loophole.

Angel, who escaped the containment of Nighthawks, also had a similar idea, so he used "Faceless" Beyonder Characteristic, changing Becoming the only woman in the Nighthawks team, "Gravedigger" Lorotta tried to get clues from Lily.

Unexpectedly, the two "Faceless" coincided with each other, concealed their identities and bumped into each other. They even had a long conversation and exchanged many clues without discovering each other's true identity.

This wonderful coincidence made Angel's experience of being arranged by Sealed Artifact "0-08" at Tingen City come back to her mind. She even suspected that she was arranged by Ince and 0-08 again, but she thought about it and realized that she had not been arranged by Backlund. His identity has been exposed, and he has never come into contact with Ince and his Sealed Artifact. In order not to attract the other party's attention, he did not even dare to mention them. If Sealed Artifact could detect this, then he would have been visited by the Demoness Sect and Aurora Order.

"From this point of view, the whole thing is probably a clever arrangement of 'Faceless'. She was promoted from 'Seer'. She may have learned about Nighthawks's arrangement through divination, and someone else hired private Detective was keeping tabs on him, so he used a trick to get the two forces to come together while he fished in troubled waters... These actions are a bit like the arrangements of 'Secret Order' when looking for Antigonus Notebook. Aren't these people also members of Secret Order?"

She hid in the street corner, muttering to herself, and then left with peace of mind when she saw Lorotta and Borgia escorting Lily into a police carriage.

After this happened, Nighthawks would not be able to continue to use Lily Granger to "fish" anyway, and would inevitably move her to a safer place. After this failure, "Faceless" should not try to get close to Lily again in the short term. At least during this period, her cousin is considered safe.

The only problem is that this matter has only been postponed, not resolved. I am afraid only Nighthawks knows what items are in Sherrick's box that "Faceless" racked his brains to get.

"Secret Order? Why are you asking about them?"

On Wednesday afternoon, with worries about Lily Granger, Angel came to Sevillea Landon Baroness's house and met Demoness of Pleasure, her nominal boss, who had been missing for half a month.

After Sevillea heard Angel's question, he looked at her in surprise, and then answered perfunctorily.

"I encountered a Beyonder who can change his appearance. He is probably 'Faceless'."

Angel said vaguely. He wanted to dig out some information from this Demoness, but he couldn't do it if he didn't get any money.

"Well, Faceless... those are indeed the people of Secret Order. It is said that they have mastered almost all the Potion materials of 'Seer' Pathway, wild Seer can't be promoted to this stage," Sevillea thought for a moment and replied, "You'd better have less to do with them. These people are good at hiding and calculating. If you see them, it means they have included you in their plan."

Angel quite agrees with this evaluation. The "Faceless" she met yesterday has almost achieved her goal. If she didn't own Anti-Divination's "Hidden Holy Emblem", it must have been calculated by divination.

"Moreover, Secret Order has probably been incorporated by Intis and become an official organization. Their ambassador was assassinated in Backlund some time ago. These people are probably still angry. Don't get in the way of the gun."

Sevillea added, changing the direction of her crossed legs to make herself more comfortable, not caring that the scenery under her skirt was seen by Angel sitting opposite.

"Are you worried about my safety?"

Angel looked away and asked. At the same time, he solved his inner doubts through this clue. The "Faceless" that appeared at Lily's house yesterday was indeed directed at Intis's missing student and the box. This even involved the dead Ambassador Intis. They did not use extreme means to rob him. I am afraid they were worried that the relationship between the two countries would become more tense.

"I'm just afraid that you'll die in a sewer before I can take you to see Lady Despair." Sevillea refuted unceremoniously, "By the way, prepare yourself. Lady Despair will return to Backlund next week at the most, and she wants to see you."

Angel felt that her heartbeat had slowed down by half a beat. Although she had always had a premonition that she would see this Demigod of the Demoness Sect sooner or later, but being arranged so directly at the time still made her a little panicked.

It's just Demigod... At worst, he needs help from Mr. Fool. Isn't there Angel under him?

Comforting himself in his heart, Angel quickly changed the topic and talked about Trissy's attempt to escape.

She knew that there were many informants around this unfortunate Demoness of Pleasure. Even if she didn't tell him, Demoness Sect would have already gotten the news. This was the main reason why Angel did not agree to help Trissy.

"She has been so restless, which is very troublesome. Fortunately, our preventive measures are perfect enough, otherwise she would have escaped from Edessak." Sevillea was not surprised as expected, but said with a smile, "Okay It won't take long, and soon we, as well as her, will be freed. What surprises me is that she didn't find you and asked you to help her escape. Almost every monitor before has been asked by her, and we have eliminated many fools who were tempted by her."

In fact, she has already approached me, but unfortunately the "temptation" is not too great...

Angel fumed, his face remained as usual, and he even picked up the pastries on the table and started to enjoy them.

"By the way, last time I asked you to find a secret organization that believes in 'Fool'. Have you gained anything in the past half month?"

Angel The shortbread that he just swallowed got stuck in his throat.
