Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 122 "Nightmare" and impersonation
The two discussed for a while, but they had no clue about the whereabouts of the murderer who killed the Plaque family, most likely a mid-sequence Extraordinary from the "Aurora Order".

The name of the bearer bond is precisely because it does not require the drawer and the purchaser to be the same person, and does not even record the information of the purchaser. The extraordinary person only needs to take the bond to the corresponding bank and lose part of the interest. You can cash out directly and get the cash without leaving your own information during the whole process.

Importantly, they have no way of identifying which bank issued the bond.

There are seven major banks in the Kingdom of Loen, and there are countless small local banks attached to these major banks that have the right to liquidate. There are no less than ten branches of various kinds in Tingen City. Wanted notices are posted everywhere, and the police will spend a lot of energy.

If you want to add shops that can buy jewelry, it will be even more difficult to block the passage for the murderer to cash in the property.

"Maybe after Klein comes back, he can use the existing information and the murderer's appearance to try divination. Otherwise, he can only wait for the 'red gloves'. They have a more efficient tracking method."

Leonard sighed, leaned on the back of the sofa to stretch his body, and seemed to have given up on the investigation.

"I seem to hear my name?"

A head wearing a half-height silk top hat sticks out from the crack in the door of the reception hall. Under the brim is short black hair and brown eyes.

Then the door was completely pushed open, and Dunn and Frye behind Klein walked in.

"You are back," Angel stood up from the sofa, and greeted his teammates one by one, "Did the mission go well?"

"Easily."

Klein replied with a smile, but his tired expression couldn't be concealed, like a late-night stayer who worked all night and desperately needed sleep.

The "Corpse Collector" Frye on the side was also tired and yawning constantly, but Dunn Smith was in high spirits, even more energetic than usual.

This is the confidence brought to him by the "Sleepless One" pathway...

Angel groaned, watching Dunn explain the mission to the two people who were traveling with him, and then he walked through the hall partition with a dark gold badge half the size of a palm, and went to Chanis Gate to return the sealed item.

"That's 3-0782, 'Mutated Sun Sacred Emblem', which can purify the surrounding ghosts and dead bodies. This time we went to Ramud to find disturbing ghosts, and it just came in handy."

Seeing Angel staring at Dunn's back, Klein introduced from the side.

"Well, I remembered, there is such a sealed item, so you are so tired because you have to guard it all night?"

Angel remembered that there was such a magical item sealed inside the Chanis Gate in Tingen, because it could not only purify the ghosts around it, but also purify the souls of all living people at the same time, and ordinary people would become human beings as long as they stayed around for an hour. A cripple who only praises the sun, even an Extraordinary can't last six hours.

Therefore, when carrying it out, the Nighthawks need to take turns to take it to the wild to guard it, so as to prevent ordinary people from approaching it for a long time.

After hastily introducing to Angel and Leonard in the reception hall the experience of purifying the black-armored sword-wielding resentful soul in the small town of Ramud, Klein dragged his exhausted body to the lounge to catch up on sleep.

Frye was also yawning, his eyelids were drooping, and his already pale skin was even more bloodless, but he still insisted on going into the office with a typewriter to write mission reports and reimbursement applications for this operation.

In the reception hall, which was quite lively just now, only Angel and Leonard were left, and even Rosanne went to clean other rooms with a broom.

Fortunately, Dunn, who returned the sealed item, moved quickly. Not long after the two overworked nighthawks left the hall, his figure appeared behind the partition.

"Old Neil told me about that case, Leonard, please report the situation."

Sitting on the remaining sofa and pouring himself a cup of coffee, the captain of the Nighthawks didn't exchange too many pleasantries, but went straight to the point.

Leonard detailedly told Dunn about the tragedy that happened at Plaque's house yesterday, while Angel was on the sidelines to add information from time to time, including the results of Old Neil's ritual magic, and several people's guesses about the way of the murderer's potion.

"From this point of view, the murderer is a middle-sequence Extraordinary of the 'Secret Prayer' pathway. According to the latest relevant information released by the Holy Church, he is at least the 'Rose Bishop' of Sequence 6, and is most likely a member of the 'Aurora Order'." One of the 22 envoys, they are code-named by letters, from Mr. A to Mr. X, at least Sequence 7, the highest even Sequence 5."

The code name of the letter..."Rose Bishop" of Nammat Harbor, Mr. C is also...

Thinking that besides him, there are 21 extraordinary people who are skilled in using flesh and blood magic, cruel and lawless, Angel can't help but feel a chill.

And now such an "angel" has come to Tingen City, and has even started committing crimes, killing five innocent citizens.

"Report to the Holy Church, maybe we need the support of 'Red Gloves' this time."

After a moment of contemplation, Dunn made a decision.

Angel felt that the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

After the battle with Mr. C in Enmat Harbor, she estimated that the Tingen Market Value Night Squad had little chance of winning against such an enemy.

According to the evaluation of Clement, the captain of the Port of Enmate team, Mr. C should have been damaged for some reason at that time and had not fully recovered.

And under such a premise, he was suppressed by the "Hand of Proclamation" that completely restrained his extraordinary ability, and in the end he was beaten half to death and managed to escape.

The sealed artifacts owned by the Tingen team flashed one by one in his mind, and only the "blood vessel thief" could cause some trouble to the "Rose Bishop", and he had to be lucky to steal his key ability.

Originally, she thought that Dunn would hesitate, that the team in Tingen City was enough to solve such troubles, and she didn't want to call for support immediately, but she didn't expect the captain to be very decisive.

Leonard, who was sitting across from her, also seemed relieved. It seemed that the two had the same concerns.

Dunn stood up from the sofa, shook his windbreaker, walked to the partition again, and went to the office where the telegraph was installed.

"By the way," his figure had just disappeared behind the door, and half his head poked out again, "Angel, come here."

Could it be that he secretly complained about the captain, and was caught out?

Angel nodded in bewilderment, got up and followed Dunn into his office.

The latter took off his thin windbreaker and top hat and hung them on the coat rack, sat on the armchair in front of the desk, lifted the dustproof cloth covering the telegraph, picked up the code book, and began to write the telegram to be sent.

The telegraph in this era is really troublesome, and it is wired, which is almost unusable without the fixed lines laid between cities...

However, as mentioned in the newspaper, wireless telegraphy capable of short-distance communication is already being used in a small area, and may soon be able to replace the backward wired telegraphy.

Looking at Dunn Smith who wrote the code word by word, Angel secretly commented on the technology of the steam age, and then remembered that he was called to the office by Dunn, and interrupted his work hesitantly.

"Captain, what's the matter calling me here?"

"Ok?"

Dunn seemed to have just remembered that there was another person in the room, stopped the pen in his hand, and raised his head.

"Sorry... I forgot..."

Angel forced a smile in response.

"It's like this. In the operation we took to solve the cursed altar at the end of July, I have already asked my acquaintances in Backlund about the matter of you using an unregistered magical item."

"She thinks that this matter is not a big problem, because what you hold is not a sealed item that originally belonged to the Church of Evernight, and she also agrees with our handling method, suggesting that we keep this magical item until we find the traitor of the Mechanical Heart Return it to them together."

As Dunn spoke, he touched the coffee cup at the corner of the table, took a look, found that it was empty, and put it down again with his lips pursed.

"She also mentioned some dissatisfaction among the church members in Backlund when they mentioned the mechanical heart, and believed that this kind of view generally existed within the church. So this time the 'Red Gloves' intervention is an opportunity, you can take the initiative to expose For this mystical item of mine, use 'temporary storage' as an explanation."

Boldly and actively exposing is better than hastily explaining after being traced, I understand this...

Angel nodded.

"As for the other..."

He looked at Angel's waist, a mysterious smile was drawn on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't continue talking.

It turns out that the captain already knew... Maybe Klein and Leonard also...

Angel followed Dunn's gaze and found that the latter's gaze was focused on his "thirsty blood" hidden under the windbreaker.

He meant for me not to expose another item, and they pretended not to know?Because the bullets strengthened by the black flame are easy to hide, and the "magic pocket watch" has been written into the report of Enmat Port?
Many thoughts raced through her mind.

"There is another thing. Regarding what you said last time, the method of mastering potions was summed up from Daly's experience," Dunn continued without noticing Angel's thoughts, "Klein went to pull the potion yesterday." Mude Town also mentioned similar ideas to me before, have you communicated with each other?"

Klein also revealed the acting method to the captain?By the way, he said that he wanted to pave the way for the special application.

Angel recalled Klein's "plan", nodded, and replied:

"We talked about it together, and he felt that this method is very effective, so he has been working part-time in the 'Divist Club', by performing divination for other people, pretending to be a mysterious fortune-teller, he has mastered the power of potions Quickly."

"In several battles, after I killed the Extraordinary, I also felt more comfortable controlling the ability of the 'Assassin'. Maybe this caters to some special rules."

By the way, she revealed the information that she possessed the "Assassin" potion.

"That's right. The method you summed up should be accurate. Klein told me that he feels more confident in his ability to use potions, such as the use of spiritual vision. He even plans to find an opportunity to submit a special Apply - just like Daly."

"And I try to be a real 'nightmare' these days..."

Dunn seemed to have forgotten that he had to send a telegram to the church, put down his pen, leaned back in his chair, his eyes became dark.

"The results of it?"

Angel asked curiously.

"It's quite effective. It's been nine years since I was promoted to 'Nightmare', but it's only during this time that I feel that I have fully mastered the relevant abilities."

"Well, except for memory."

With a smile on his lips, he added.

Thinking of Dunn who clumsily closed the office curtains and tried to scare himself with the flame of a lighter when he first heard about the "acting method", Angel also laughed, sincerely happy that his captain found the right way to act.

Wait, flames, intimidation...

During this period of time, I had nightmares again and again, returning to the negative state of the "Magic Pocket Watch" every night, and was scared by the gas lights all over the room and hid in the basement. Could it be that the captain did it through the "Nightmare" ability?
It just so happened that the captain left Tingen City last night and went to the small town of Ramud, where he had a good night's sleep...

He finds playing "quite productive"...

The smile on Angel's mouth disappeared, his eyes widened, and he looked at "Nightmare" Dunn Smith in disbelief.

The latter seemed to feel the anger of his teammates and looked away guiltily.
