"The Beyonder Characteristic has been handed over to me by Mr. Azik, but before confirming that the senior deacon Pierce Turner is Mirror Person, I feel that I should not hand over this characteristic easily. According to what I learned from According to the information Lola learned, after 'Mirror Person' completely replaces the original body, Beyonder Characteristic can be obtained. What if he still hasn't made any moves and is hiding in the church, waiting for the characteristics of 'Nightwatcher'?
"Only Arianna and Lord Cesimir are trustworthy. I will pray to Goddess intermittently, hoping that they can come to Backlund and solve the trouble of 'Mirror Person'...
"In addition, I met Trissy after the dance last night. She seems to be free now, but she has great resentment towards the culprit of Great Smog and the mastermind behind Prince Edessak's death. She plans to launch an operation to look for clues. I think I can observe it for a while.
"There are many different factions within 'Demoness Sect'. The one to which 'White Saint' Katarina belongs may have the possibility of cooperation, but I can contact you. If your identity is exposed, it will be difficult to escape in the hands of Demoness of Sequence 3..."
After writing the information and new plans obtained in the past few days into the letter, Angel carefully sealed the envelope, picked up the harmonica on the table and blew it. The silent waves escaped, the light of the candle swayed, and the headless messenger Reinette Tinekerr slowly emerged from the sky.
After meeting "Mirror Person" Pierce, Klein temporarily handed over the harmonica that summoned Reinette to Angel, so that she could quickly summon the opponent in any battle she might encounter Demigod.
Otherwise, even if you pay 10,000 gold coins to hire Reinette, it will be difficult to get help in time in an emergency.
"Please give this letter to your contractor, Gehrman Sparrow."
Angel handed over the envelope and a gold coin and said.
Reinette's two heads held the gold coins and the letter respectively, but they did not leave immediately, but looked at her expectantly.
"I may encounter danger recently, just like Bayam..." Angel hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to hire you as a bodyguard again. The price is the same as last time, and it will be deducted from your debt."
Last time it was 10,000 gold coins, and this time it will cost 10,000 gold coins... Although Reinette is indeed very good at fighting. At that time, one person withstood two members of "Rose School", but... that is 10,000 gold coins!
While Angel was thinking wildly, Reinette's four heads were slowly shaking in her hands, and she did not agree immediately.
She doesn't want to take the opportunity to raise the price... Indeed, she still owes me 20,000 gold coins. For this kind of money that has not yet been obtained, even if she raises the price to 15,000, I might agree... Angel was a little uneasy, and was about to ask, Reinette The head holding the gold coin in his mouth had already swallowed the gold coin with a grunt, and he and the other two heads who were not working said in turn:
"Discount..." "Only..." "This time."
Discount, 10,000 gold coins or discount? Was she really planning to increase the price to fifteen thousand?
Angel felt like her mouth was going to be crooked. She took a deep breath, calmed down her mood, squeezed out a smile and said:
"Thank you!"
Reinette shook his head with the letter in his mouth, as an answer, and disappeared together with his body in front of Angel, returning to Spirit World.
In any case, with Messenger Miss as the final guarantee, I should have a great chance of winning against "Mirror Person" Pierce Turner. Of course, that is provided that he has no other helpers... Angel removed Wall of Spirituality and comforted himself with "life is worth more than gold coins."
"In this case, we must be more cautious when dealing with Pierce, and be absolutely sure before taking action, so as not to let the other party escape and waste these 10,000 gold coins...
"Trissy will take action against William Sykes next week, and I need to make some preparations in advance; today I contacted the eldest son of the Earl Hall who is a believer in Goddess. With my appearance and purpose, It is possible that 'Nighthawks' will be regarded as a new member of the Demoness Sect, and 'Nighthawks' may be subject to dream review... Compared with these things, 'Mirror Person' who has no clue at the moment is not a problem that needs to be solved urgently.
"Fortunately, I am already Sequence 4, so I can easily deal with ordinary 'Nightmare' or even Sequence 6's 'Soul Assurer', not to mention Hidden Holy Emblem The role of E is enough to cope with the scrutiny of Demigod and below... As for Trissy, I hope she won't make enemies that even I can't deal with. I won't feel any psychological burden if I abandon her."
Muttering silently, Angel summoned the maids. Under their service, the fatigue and alcohol smell of the day were washed away, and he quickly got into the warm and comfortable bed and fell asleep.
Amidst the thunderous whistle, the steaming steel giant slowly drove into Backlund Steam Train Station. Passengers walked out of the carriage one after another, and the quiet platform instantly became lively.
In the past, for safety reasons, steam trains would stop running after dark, but recently more and more people are going to Backlund to look for job opportunities, so several temporary trains departing in the afternoon and arriving at night have been added from Midseashire and Awwa County to add fresh blood to this city waiting for workers to fill factories.
After most of the passengers got off the bus, a man in his thirties walked out of the car in the middle of the vehicle. He was wearing a black trench coat, with the collar raised up to cover his chin. He was not wearing a hat. His short golden brown hair looked like a hedgehog under the dim gas light.
The most eye-catching thing about him, apart from the bright Red Gloves he wears on both hands, is the silver-white box he is holding in his hand, which is as big as a violin. Combined with his old-fashioned clothes, the passengers around him think that he is a musician who comes to Backlund to find a job.
Not caring much about the eyes of others, the "Red Gloves" man left the station, followed the crowd into the subway station, exited the station at North Borough, took a hired carriage to Church of the Evernight Goddess's headquarters at Backlund, Saint Samuel Cathedral, and stopped in the narrow aisle like an ordinary believer, admiring the stained glass on both sides, and listened to the routine mass at the Prayer Hall. Finally, he arrived at the Nighthawks station below the church and met the members on duty.
Daly Simone, she has made rapid progress recently, and she can already consider being promoted to Sequence 5 "Gatekeeper", but her merits are not enough to exchange for Potion... Her momentum, this tight string may break at any time, but unfortunately I can't...
He glanced at Daly, who was sitting by the door, wearing a hooded black robe and eyeshadow and blush on his face. The latter sensed his gaze, put down the document in his hand and looked over, nodding slightly in greeting:
"Lord Cesimir."
"Good evening, Daly, where are Archbishop Your Excellency?"
"In the chat room in the church, I discussed with the Hibbert Hall Lord about holding a charity dinner after Social Season arrives. Do you need me to inform him?"
Another officer on duty, Nighthawks, interjected.
"No need, I'll wait here."
Cesimir walked through the narrow aisle and came to a small room next to it. He sat on a cushioned armchair and placed the silver-white box at his feet that he never left his hand outside.
He noticed that there were two Nighthawks in the room. One of them he knew was Leonard Mitchell, who was also named "Red Gloves" but belonged to Backlund Sost Squad. This person only applied to join Red Gloves after Tingen Tragedy 's Nighthawks was promoted second only to Daly. Recently, he had accumulated enough merits to take "Soul Assurer" Potion, becoming a rare Sequence 6 at his age.
Leonard's eyes were slightly closed at this time, half lying and half leaning on the recliner, and his whole body exuded a quiet and peaceful atmosphere that could only be felt by Pathway.
Is he in "Dream Invasion"?
Cesimir subconsciously looked at the table in front of Leonard. There was an open file on it. He waved with one hand, and the file flew into his hand as if it was being lifted.
"Christine Teresa, came to Backlund two weeks ago, spared no expense, and quickly met many low-level nobles and elites in various industries. Last night, he contacted Hibbert Hall for the first review..."
After roughly browsing the file, Cesimir looked back at the photo of the young woman with black hair and purple eyes.
As soon as Angel fell into a deep sleep, he felt the warning from the close-fitting Magic Mirror and the holy symbol on his wrist, and then Spirituality's alertness.
She immediately opened her eyes and found that she had gone from the bedroom to the small living room on the second floor. Standing around her was a maid with a dull expression and Slowing movements, filling the porcelain cup in front of her with coffee.
Then, there was a knock on the living room door from outside.
Sure enough, the "dream" review was here... Angel was convinced, and instead of getting up to go to Door Opening, she waited for the maid next to her who seemed to be awake to open the door and put a young man in a black windbreaker with his shirt hem flowing with his movements into the living room.
"You, yes?"
Angel pretended to be hesitant in his dream, but he was muttering in his heart.
She sat down in front of her with a casual attitude and took out Police ID. It was her teammate in Tingen City who played the role of Leonard Mitchell who relied on memorizing poems.
"Backlund Police Department, a murder occurred near your residence. I want to confirm your recent whereabouts and whether the information on your identity certificate is true."
Leonard said in a flirtatious tone, unfolding the notebook in his hand and taking out the pen on his chest.
Your excuse is too lame, but it is also in line with the consistent confidence of "Nightmare" after using their abilities... Isn't there a "parasitized" Marauder Pathway's Angel in his body? Did I not tell him that I might be High Sequence Beyonder, or did he not see the problem?
Angel cursed, recalling the difference between "shallow parasitism" and "deep parasitism", and nodded.
"Christine Teresa, female, 22 years old, left Sivellas County four years ago and went to Intis Trier..."
Leonard quickly recited her forged identity certificate and then asked:
"Is your experience of doing business in Intis true?"
"Some of it is false."
Angel answered honestly.
With a smile that said "It's true" at the corner of his mouth, Leonard asked, "What is the real situation?"
"I made a lot of money in multiple industries through deception, whistleblowing, and hostile takeovers, rather than through legitimate business..."
According to the "setting" discussed between herself and Klein, Angel revealed her second identity: a young woman whose methods of making money were not so fair, and who fled back to the Loen Kingdom because she was worried about being caught by the authorities, preparing to launder her identity and property in Backlund.
These methods are in a gray area of the law, not to mention that they are carried out in neighboring countries instead of their own country. Leonard just wrote it down with a strange expression and did not ask further questions.
Then, he began to ask Angel's answers repeatedly, out of order, and compared them with each other. Angel easily defused these "attacks" because he remained awake. Finally, Leonard put down his notebook and said as if unintentionally:
"Have you heard of 'Beyonder'?"
"... I've heard of it. I even collected a few copies of the Potion formula that I didn't know were genuine or fake, but I never had the courage to try it."
Angel knew that answering "I haven't heard of it" would make people more suspicious, so he made up a half-true and half-false experience, imitating the other person's mentality when he first saw "Justice" Audrey at Tarot Club, and answered hesitantly in his tone.
"It's best not to try..." Leonard solemnly warned, then stood up and straightened the hem of his windbreaker, "Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Theresa, I wish you a good dream."
He waved his hand and activated Nightmare's ability, which made Miss, who looked beautiful but was actually a businessman proficient in fraud, forget most of the things in his dream after waking up, and then quickly escaped from the dream and returned to the room under the church.
After waking up, he immediately looked at another teammate next to him and confirmed that the other teammate had not been harmed by Beyonder when he was exploring the dream of "Dwayne Dantès". He breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, he found a man sitting opposite him with a trench coat collar covering his chin and mouth. The man was holding the document of his review target today and looking at him with probing eyes.
"Goddess's Sword"Crestet Cesimir Your Excellency!
Looking at the senior deacon, Leonard, who had "Parasite" in his body, immediately forgot about the review in the dream just now, pretended to be calm, and smiled at Cesimir.
8 Burningham Road, in the master bedroom on the third floor.
Angel slowly opened his eyes and immediately confirmed that he had escaped from the dream and returned to reality.
Unexpectedly, it was Leonard who came to review me. He gave me the same feeling as when the captain invaded my dream at Tingen. Either he was already a senior "Nightmare", or he had simply been promoted to "Soul Assurer"...
Let him, who is most likely "Red Gloves", review me instead of the ordinary Nighthawks, which shows that my identity has attracted the attention of the church... No, it should be that Hibbert Hall is too valued by the church. The Earl Hall family are all believers of Goddess and donate a large amount of property every year. If an unknown person like me approaches Hibbert, he will naturally be subject to strict scrutiny. Maybe there will be a second or third time...
Humph, I was helping them deal with the "Mirror Person" that had sneaked into the house, but they treated me as a thief to guard against... Angel muttered silently, stroking "Hidden Holy Emblem" on his wrist, hoping in his heart that Arianna or "Goddess's Sword" would reply as soon as possible.
However, I didn't expect that Leonard would also become the backbone of the church...
Angel A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked out the window. The crimson moonlight was shining on the silent street.
