Before the hot corpse cooled down and Beyonder Characteristic precipitated, Shermane put on his gloves and slightly modified the charred corpse, giving it some religious meaning like other important gangster figures he had killed before.

Then, she began to use her Black Flame to clean up the bloodstains around her, burning the places the two passed by one by one, annihilating all traces of the occult. Of course, she also did not forget to restore the boxes that were knocked down by Le Ruisi when escaping, and pick up the goods that fell on the ground.

Tomorrow, this scene will be on the pages of major newspapers as East Borough's fourth serial murder in the past month. It will be cleaner and tidier to highlight the weirdness of the scene.

The same three previous murders, as well as the religious ceremony-like scenes at the scene, made "Tussock Newspaper" and "Backlund Morning News" alarmistly talk about the serial murders that occurred in this city last year. There were rumors that the person captured by the police was just an unlucky scapegoat, and the real murderer reappeared and began a new round of massacres.

This is in line with Shermane's needs for the role of "Witch", and also in line with her summary of Acting Rule: weird behavior, misunderstood motives, and negative impact on victims and society.

Of course, she also added that she would not harm innocent people, so those who died in her hands were all East Borough gang members who were full of evil.

And in order to prevent others from tracing her, Shermane even deliberately selected gangsters who had nothing to do with the "Black Claw Gang" she controlled. Adding "Witch" Anti-Divination and anti-tracking skills, the police and even East Borough's "Nighthawks" were overwhelmed.

However, in this kind of behavior that can harvest extreme emotions, my Potion is digested very quickly. After two or three more "scenes", the performance of "Witch" will be over. At that time, the mysterious Serial Killer will disappear, leaving no trace...

Thinking of the Sequence 6 Potion name and corresponding abilities that Trissy informed her of in advance, Shermane's face turned rosy.

In addition to killing people as "Witch", she spends most of her time and energy on her "intercourse" with Viscount Stratford. Although the other party behaves quite Gentlemen, she will have to face that kind of thing sooner or later, and being promoted to "Pleasure" will undoubtedly greatly Earth Mother improve the success rate of the plan.

However, can I really make up my mind to leave everything in the past and accept a new identity and life...

Thinking of his determination to take "assassin" Potion, and his confusion about acting and killing, and finally the expressions of Freyja and Daisy looking forward to their return home, Shermane's beautiful blue eyes closed slightly, and when they opened them again, all emotions had been hidden.

She cleaned up the scene, picked up the "Barbarian" Beyonder Characteristic that Le Ruisi precipitated, and took one last look at the corpse with her only intact right hand raised up, as if looking at the sky. She sighed softly, pushed open the side door of the warehouse, and came to the dirty East Borough alley.

The homeless people here are regularly cleaned by Zimang Party, so there are no ragged and idle East Borough people like other alleys, but Shermane still saw a child with messy hair, lack of fat on his cheeks, bulging eyes, and arms as thin as poles, constantly rummaging through garbage in the alley, looking for valuable things.

Hearing the movement of Door Opening, the child's dull eyes glanced over. They only stayed on the white and light red under the woman's hood for a moment, and then looked at the side door of the warehouse that had not yet been closed, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

He knew there must be something valuable inside.

Seeing this, Shermane walked slowly over, squatted down in front of the child who was a little scared but had not had time to slip away, and said softly:

"Leave quickly and don't come back here, okay?"

There seemed to be a kind of magic in her words, which made the child nod subconsciously, step back step by step, and then quickly turned around and left.

Seeing the back of the child who looked like himself more than ten years ago, Shermane's eyes were a little sad. He took out a handful of powder from under his cloak and sprinkled it on himself, and the figure quickly disappeared into the alley.

On the beach at dusk, a dazzling red Three-Masted Sailing Ship was docked next to a simple trestle. A man named Sailor used the crane on the deck to take out the heavy wooden boxes from the warehouse. A group of four people moved them to the beach and stacked them together.

Half of the cargo has been unloaded, and it will take forty minutes. Sailor, who is on guard with a gun on the deck, is no longer concentrating. The sun is getting darker and darker, and the last half hour will be very dangerous... Not far away, on the top of a Gargas Archipelago common black coconut tree, "Luck" William, holding a single-shot rifle, is observing everything not far away with a homemade sight.

As the follow-up Sequence of the "machine", he not only has terrifying computing power and control over his limbs, but can also become a master of close combat and long-range precision weapons. A single-shot precision rifle in his hands will become a nightmare for ordinary people and Low Sequence Beyonder.

Therefore, after "Red Haired Woman" came to Nass, Helene arranged for his Sailor Chief to hide in a tree not far from the trading point, as another firepower point in addition to the alert Sailor on the deck.

Once the other party to the transaction intends to "take advantage of the enemy", this extra rifle may be the key to the battle.

As a "monster" Pathway, William also has Anti-Divination's methods. As long as he hides his figure, he doesn't need to worry about being discovered.

Moreover, I don't think they dare to fall out on the spot... Spirituality is taller than ordinary people, so he has a stronger sense of danger. William muttered, his eyes came closer to the scope again, and looked at the position of his captain.

Feeling the gaze aimed at this place not far away, Helene, who looked heroic with his long hair wrapped in a triangle scarf, did not change his expression. He took the suitcase handed by the Gargas Archipelago resistance trader and opened it.

There seemed to be a golden stream of light overflowing from the gap, making Helene almost unable to open his eyes under the sunlight.

In front of her, the burly Jia Wade, who was almost two heads taller than the tall Helene, chuckled lightly, showing his teeth that were yellowed by tobacco leaves, and said in an unskilled Intisian:

"3500 Loen Gold Pound, and gold coins and gold bars worth 10,000 pounds."

In Above the Five Seas, gold coins and gold bars are absolute hard currencies. Secondly, there are colonies all over the world. With Gold Pound circulated by Loen supported by Church of Storms, the currencies of other countries will depreciate to some extent.

Helene was not gullible, but placed the suitcase on the arms box aside, opened it completely, and carefully counted Gold Pound, using simple tools to weigh the gold bars. The rebels brought by Jia Wade opened the moisture-proof wooden boxes one by one, and looked at the almost brand-new rifles and boxes of bullets coated with grease in amazement.

"Very good, just as you said."

After counting the money, Helene said in a skilled Intisian, closed the suitcase containing a large number of gold coins, gold bars and banknotes, and looked at his "Red Haired Woman", on the simple dock over there, the last batch of cargo boxes are being moved off the ship by Sailor, and the burly Feysac people takes over and carries them here.

"What are you going to do after you get these weapons?"

Seeing that it would take a long time to hand over the goods, Helene looked at the leader of this group, Jia Wade, and suddenly asked.

"Keep enough for yourself, and the rest will be sold to others, the locals who oppose whaling, the pirates who want a share of the whaling industry, and the Intis and Loen people hiding in the dark..."

Jia Wade, who was wearing a coat made of whale skin, laughed again, making no secret of his plan to be a second-rate dealer.

After he changed hands, in the remote Gargas Archipelago, these brand-new weapons could be sold at least twice the price. No wonder the family members like to go to the sea, whether they are doing contraband trade or arms business, it is a profitable business... Helene knows that this batch of arms flows into Nass will definitely cause great trouble to the Feysac army that controls this place, and may even lead to more deaths. However, at the same time, they will also allow the rebels and locals who have been suppressed for a long time to have the ability to fight against the Feysac Empire. From another perspective, they will also allow the colonial rule to restrain itself and reduce casualties in this regard.

Whether it is Justice or evil depends on which side you stand on, and I am just a Adding Fuel to the Fire, a character who creates conflicts... Thinking of this, Helene has a new understanding of "Pyromaniac" that he has already digested.

Continuing to exchange a few words with Intisian and Jia Wade, Helene saw the last batch of cargo boxes being moved to the beach and watched the rebels check the weapons box by box. Then he picked up the heavy suitcase and walked towards his ship under the protection of several armed Sailor.

The end of a transaction is often the most dangerous, so Helene's vigilance was at its highest, and he kept looking around, but on the beach where the setting sun shone, except for the rebels who were receiving the goods, no one else came close.

Helene didn't find any problems until she was taken back to the deck by the ladder. This made her sigh in relief. She waved to William to jump from the tree, returned to the dock in full view, and boarded the "Red Haired Woman".

In the distant virgin forest, two pairs of dim eyes stared closely at the direction of the beach, watching the brightly colored Three-Masted Sailing Ship slowly exit the diving area and turn away.

"... Do you want to do it now? They only have one Sequence 6, one Sequence 7, and several Sequence 9..."

"No, my Spirituality told me that there is a great danger on that ship... We can evacuate and get the arms. There is no need to get the money back. Moreover, I heard that the ship belongs to 'Golden Queen'..."

"I'll notify Jia Wade."

The rustling sounds of conversation disappeared, and the forest returned to tranquility.

Helene in the captain's cabin suddenly raised her head. She had felt a premonition of danger just now, but this feeling disappeared almost instantly. She looked out the window with half confusion and half worry, and found that the beach where she had just traded had sunk under the water antenna, and was almost invisible in the dim environment.

"... The messenger who belongs exclusively to Angelica Zaki."

After setting up a simple altar, Helene summoned the lazy-looking black cat and pushed the suitcase containing most of the proceeds from this transaction:

"Please give it to your contractor and tell her that the transaction went smoothly."

She was a little curious about how the black cat was going to take away a suitcase that was bigger than itself.

Wensa's sapphire eyes glanced at the female Hunter who showed an awkward smile, jumped up, landed on the suitcase, then raised his front paws and pressed down.

The suitcase on the table seemed to be sinking into mud, and it slowly sank in front of Helene and entered the inside of the table.

Um?

Helene blinked and looked at the table again. The box and the black cat disappeared without a trace.

It turns out that Miss Angelica's cat can also do magic...

The expression on her face was even more embarrassing.

Backlund, Hillston Borough, 8 Burningham Road.

With the help of the maid, she took off her gorgeous dress and was about to enter the bathroom to take a good bath. Angel suddenly felt something. She pushed the maid away and entered the bedroom wearing only her underwear.

In her Spirit Vision, a black cat fell out of the Spirit World, rolled in the air, and landed lightly on the carpet.

Then a heavy suitcase hit the ground hard, and the overloaded lock collapsed. Gold coins, gold bars, and bundles of banknotes fell to the ground, almost blinding Angel.

Angel, who had just shown a bad look on his face and was about to mock Wensa, immediately smiled brightly. He felt that the black cat with soft fur and clear eyes was as cute as a lucky cat.
