Angel looked at Laplace, but Laplace, too, shook her head with a face full of confusion.
She did not understand why the development of this scene had become so strange.
Although they did not know Sigmund's current situation, they could still infer some information from this brief scene:
"Someone is watching Sigmund from the shadows, unless something unexpected happened."
It was precisely because he was being watched that the woman had used that "acting" method to pass on information.
After pondering for a moment, Angel also said, "If Sigmund has been targeted, then someone must want something from him."
As for what they wanted? There were only two possibilities: they wanted a person, or they wanted an object.
If they wanted the person, Sigmund possessed formidable swordsmanship and could indeed have caught someone's eye.
However, Dark Corner was a world with extraordinary powers. Though Sigmund's swordsmanship was strong, that body of his had not transcended. A body that had not transcended could not unleash swordsmanship powerful enough to matter—at least, it would be difficult to catch an extraordinary being's eye. Therefore, Angel felt that the possibility of an extraordinary being wanting Sigmund himself for his swordsmanship was low.
Or perhaps they simply lusted after Sigmund's body?
That was unlikely as well.
If the person in the shadows truly lusted after Sigmund's body, that woman would not have used seduction and acting to pass on information. That would only enrage the hidden observer.
Thus, Angel ruled out the possibility that they wanted the person.
That left only "wanting an object."
What "object" on Sigmund was most likely to have drawn someone's attention?
After thinking carefully, Angel listed three items: the "Dark Corner Guide," the Fire God Light Wheel, and the Ether Converter.
All three involved the extraordinary level and could have
