After solving the problem of "Tarot Club", Angel had no intention of staying at "Carrion Bird Bar". She hurriedly said goodbye to "Justice" and her bodyguard, and left the trading market.
The master and servant seemed to have other transactions. When Angel walked down the stairs, he saw the two of them walking towards the message board again.
Think about it, "Seer" Potion requires more than just Star Crystal. The blood of Lava Octopus is also one of the necessary Main Materials. The other Auxiliary Materials are easy to obtain. Even if they are not sold in the trading market, most of them can be purchased at ordinary Herbal Shop.
The 5 ml of octopus blood written on the blackboard seems to have been bought by her, but if this "Justice" Miss has obtained all the required Lava Octopus blood and bought Star Crystal, she will definitely go back to configure Potion as soon as possible instead of continuing to stay in the trading market.
It seems that on her road to Beyonder, there may be another Lava Octopus...
Compared to "Justice" who was pursuing Potion at a high price, Angel was more interested in the unknown bodyguard next to her.
From the short contact before, she discovered that the other party was probably a Beyonder.
It's a pity that Beyonder cannot be distinguished in appearance. Even if Spirit Vision is turned on, they are only healthier and stronger than ordinary people in the field of vision, which is completely what normal people can achieve with a little training.
Unless you use your hands and see the other party using Beyonder Ability with your own eyes, it will be difficult to distinguish it from ordinary people.
This is also the reason why the civilian employee of "Machinery Hivemind" secretly took Sequence 8's Potion before being discovered by his teammates.
But if this bodyguard is Beyonder, why did he become the follower of an underage girl? Because of lack of money, he still fulfills his promise, or...
While walking out of "Carrion Bird", she was thinking about a big drama in her heart.
Angel, who returned to "Silver Bullet" with dinner and midnight snacks, just opened the door and saw the captain of Emmett Harbor Team. Clement was adjusting his windbreaker and walking towards the door.
Seeing him getting ready, Angel asked curiously:
"Clement Captain, are you going out on patrol?"
"Patrol? We don't have this free time now. I went to replace the teammates who have been following me all day. They don't even have time to eat."
Clement replied with a tired look, this kind of mental state is extremely rare in Beyonder of "Sleepless" Pathway.
It seems that Backlund Team's tardiness turned this joint operation into a "war of attrition", worsening the manpower situation of Emmett Harbor Team, which was already short of manpower. Even the captain had to go out to work in the middle of the night. No wonder there were not many living people in the Nighthawks stronghold all day long.
Angel made way for the door, and Clement hurried past her and left "Silver Bullet" on foot, not knowing where to "follow" her.
The door closed, Angel looked around the hall on the first floor, and found that only he and Daly Simone were left sitting in the corner. The other "Sleepless" Sequence's Nighthawks were probably also raped by Fell short.
At this time, she was a little lucky that she was an "assassin" and not "Sleepless".
"Did you catch that 'Machinery Hivemind' member?"
Putting the dinner he bought on the coffee table, Angel sat across from Daly, picked up the coffee pot and shook it, and found that there was still some inside, although it was already cold.
"Sadly, not really."
Daly was originally resting with her eyes closed. As Sequence, one of the few "Sleepless" in the team, she was responsible for guarding the station when her teammates took turns to go out to perform tasks. In addition, she and "Machinery Hivemind" captured the defecting members. At this time, the word exhaustion was written on her face.
When she heard the question, she opened her eyes and Angel discovered that the blush and eye shadow that seemed to have grown on Daly's face had been washed away at some point, revealing her fair skin.
"The 'Machinery Hivemind' people used a Sealed Artifact that can locate a specific target location through divination. Unfortunately, Tomaz used some kind of Anti-Divination method, so that the divination started yesterday could not accurately locate it. Until this afternoon, that Anti-Divination method was broken through."
After taking the cold coffee poured by Angel and taking a sip, Daly continued:
"The location is located in an apartment in Planck Street, our jurisdiction of Nighthawks. I think they had plans to solve it privately. After all, a serving member became a traitor and killed two teammates. It is not a shameful thing to spread the word. But the divination was quickly interfered by the other party. When the situation was unclear and the manpower was insufficient, they could only ask 'Nighthawks' to cooperate in the operation and implement the arrest together."
"Anti-Divination? What kind of Pathway is that defector Beyonder?"
Angel once learned the meaning of "Anti-Divination" when Old Neil divined a wanted person, but according to him, the people who can use this technique are at least Mid Sequence's Beyonder, and it must be limited to those Pathway who are proficient in divination abilities.
"They also didn't know that the two teammates he killed were both shot in the back and died on the spot. Ordinary revolver bullets were used, and there were no other signs of damage at the scene. It was difficult to determine what Pathway was. This is why the 'Machinery Hivemind' even brought members equipped with automatic weapons. They were afraid of facing the Beyonder of Mid Sequence."
"Unfortunately, the heavily armed 'Machinery Hivemind' people still missed the target. The opponent is proficient in Anti-Divination skills, and his corresponding divination ability should not be bad. He was aware of the action to arrest him in advance and escaped before we arrived. It is really a pity."
Daly's face didn't show any regret at all, but instead showed a sense of fun and ridicule.
"The house in the apartment was bought by Tomaz a long time ago and used as a secret base. We found a lot of hidden Spiritual Materials and weapons in the room. He should have intercepted them using his work. Herman is the 'Machinery Hivemind' you saw today. It is judged that the two team members he killed were silenced when they went to confront Tomaz because they discovered Spiritual Materials."
"It's a pity that there is such a fuss today. No matter how stupid Tomaz is, he will not stay in Enmat Harbor. If he moves faster, finds a boat that dares to go to sea at night, and goes south along the coast, he should be able to reach Pritz Harbor tomorrow morning."
The last wanted person who was sure to escape from Tingen City overnight ended up dying in Tingen...
Angel remembered the "assassin" he killed when retrieving Antigonus Notebook, and was unconvinced about Daly's judgment. However, this matter had little to do with her, and seeing that Daly was already a little sleepy, he did not refute her point of view.
The two shared the dinner that Angel brought back - a piece of Dici Grilled Fish, and then ate some Intis Baguette that was as hard as a stick with the soup. It was not until Nighthawks, who had been replaced by Clement, returned here that Daly, who was almost too sleepy to open his eyes, said goodbye to Angel and left "Silver Bullet".
Handing the 1 soli banknote to the coachman, Angel jumped out of the carriage.
It was already the morning of the next day, and when the sun was supposed to be shining brightly, a dark cloud that was blown from the sea to Enmatt Harbor covered most of the sky, making the whole city gloomy. On the contrary, the sea in the distance was favored by the sun, and the Tyndall effect produced by water vapor presented a beautiful scenery.
Maybe this is one of the reasons why Enmat Harbor has so many tourists even though the coastline is full of oil and garbage...
Angel glanced at the coastline without interest, then withdrew her gaze. She had a heavy workload today and had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery in the distance.
Waking up early in the morning, Captain Clement, who had stayed up all night, returned to the station and announced a piece of news that made everyone happy and worried.
Backlund Team has been confirmed to arrive at Enmat Harbor tomorrow, that is, at noon on Sunday. The "long-awaited" action will begin tomorrow night.
Except for Daly, who had seriously exceeded the standard working hours, and looked tired, the other Sleeplesss were all in high spirits. It can be heard that in order to prevent the target from running away early, they still have to keep track of several target strongholds. Even "Sleepless", who only sleeps three or four hours a day, the smile on his face is gradually replaced by a sad look.
Fortunately, there are a large number of Sleepless, and after reasonable allocation, all shifts can be filled. Angel, as a rare Pathway, cannot stay up late without losing combat effectiveness like Sleepless. It only needs to stay within "Silver Bullet" at the specified time like Daly.
She was assigned to be on duty tonight, and there was another "Corpse Collector" on duty during the day. She was able to finish what she wanted to do in her last free time.
In the afternoon, she planned to contact the Beyonder who left a message in the trading market, and if possible, buy the Main Materials of "Instigator" Potion.
A piece of Potion Main Materials from Sequence 8 costs 200 to 300 pounds, and the Potion formula itself costs around 400 pounds. Well Angel already knows the "Assassin" Pathway Potion formula up to Sequence 7, all you have to buy is the materials.
In order to ensure that she can get at least one piece of Main Materials, she sold all the "Star Crystal" yesterday. The cash on her body has exceeded 400 pounds. As long as the other party does not increase the price arbitrarily, it should be enough.
But before going to "Carrion Bird" to trade, Angel planned to go to "Kavi Clock Shop" first.
Yesterday's appraisal of "Bloodthirst" let her know that "Artisan" and "Kavi" are famous and respected by "Hanged Man", and indeed have extraordinary abilities.
I wonder if this Artisan can take over the job of making new weapons...
Angel had many weapon designs better than revolvers in her head, but she did not have the ability to make them, so she kept this idea in her heart. After seeing "Artisan", her heart that was ready to move became active again.
It was exactly 9 o'clock in the morning. Amidst the shocking bells of the "God of Steam and Machinery" church, driven by gears and connecting rods, Angel returned to the inconspicuous store entrance of "Kavi Clock Shop".
The still unwiped glass door stood ajar.
As luck would have it, it seems that this store is also open on weekends.
Angel's hanging heart was relieved. She reached out and knocked on the door. Without waiting for the invitation from the door, she pushed Door Opening in.
The gas light in the store was not turned on. In the dim environment, the old man whom she had mistakenly identified as Kavi was lying on the narrow aisle. Dark red blood flowed from the place where his face touched the floor. The short tube Hunting Rifle was thrown far away.
Artisan Kavi was covering his bleeding left shoulder and kneeling on the ground. There were red fingerprints on his neck after being pinched. There was a brass revolver with an extended muzzle on his forehead.
The owner of the pistol stood in front of Kavi, holding the gun in his right hand and holding a pocket watch in his left hand. Hearing the sound of Door Opening, the man wearing a long trench coat and a peaked cap tilted his head slightly, and his eyes under thick-framed glasses turned to the door.
