Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 211 Waiting at night

Lanerwus?

Several night watchmen on duty looked at each other. One of them suddenly remembered the incident of the evil god coming to Tingen City last month, and thought of the wanted criminal who was still on the run, and exclaimed.

"Is it the Lanerwus from the Aurora Society?"

"Yes, the letter also said that he has the divinity of the 'True Creator'."

The night watcher who came to report could feel the eyes of his colleagues looking at him in disbelief. He himself felt the same way when he received the telegram.

The captain who took the envelope tore off the seal, took out the paper for interpreting the telegram, glanced at it quickly, and then raised his head.

"Did you call back to confirm? Is the source of the intelligence reliable?"

He is the "Requiem Master" of Sequence 6 of the Insomniac Path. Before he was transferred to Backlund, he was the captain of another city. He has dealt with many major events involving the whole city, but he still has great faith in the "True Creator". Fearful, especially after the tragedy the Aurora Society caused in Tingen last month.

"The intention of the reporter has been verified through the sealed artifact. The content of this letter is true, well, at least he thinks it is true, but further divination has not taken effect."

The captain nodded and was not surprised. This matter probably involved an evil god. One can imagine the difficulty of divination.

"And this afternoon a letter was dropped into the mailbox at the door of St. Samuel's Church. The content is consistent with the report letter forwarded from Silveras Field. The two verified each other. I think the reported information is true."

The night watcher who came in to report handed another letter to his captain. The latter hurriedly read it and stood up, letting the reporter take his place and walked out the door.

"Fortunately, Lord Sessima of the Goddess Sword is in Backlund. We don't need to wait for support from the temple. I will report to him now. You should also prepare. There may be a big operation tonight."

"Yes, Captain."

The remaining Nighthawks answered one after another.

----

Watching the sky outside the window getting darker, Angel closed the curtains and started making today's dinner.

This was a little earlier than her usual dinner time, but she had to rush to the East Balam dock after dark, so she could only eat in advance.

Today she tried divination several times to confirm the movement time of the Nighthawks, but she failed due to lack of information.

But what is certain is that the Nighthawks will definitely act as soon as possible after receiving the information, and the best time is tonight.This can avoid the daytime when workers are working, and it is also most conducive to the night watchers who mainly use the "sleepless" path to exert their strength.

Even if Lanrewus happened to be sleeping, he might be able to capture this wanted criminal alive...

"But don't capture him alive. It might be difficult for me to sneak into Chanis Gate and kill someone."

Angel took a hard bite of the bread in his hand, as if this was Lanerwus.

……

After a simple dinner, she returned to the basement and put on the equipment that she had checked many times yesterday. The revolver filled with "Storm Convergence" was inserted into the holster on her waist, and a substitute wand was tied next to it. The dagger is tied behind the waist, the ammunition and the cut paper figure are put into the pocket, the magic mirror is hidden close to the body, the magic pocket watch is tied to the left wrist, and the "Secret Holy Emblem" hangs on the citrine pendant on the right wrist.

Putting on the "Ring of Madness", she watched as the light blond hair beside her shoulders instantly turned into an inconspicuous black.

Except for the "Crimson Eye" obtained from the dead Rose Bishop, she had brought all the weapons and equipment she could.

Angel took out the eyeball from the bullet box, and as soon as it came into contact with her skin, she sensed all the living creatures nearby, including the residents in the apartment next door, the pedestrians walking on the street, and even the small animals in the sewer.

Based on the postures they displayed in his mind, Angel could even roughly guess what these people were currently doing.

In the city, the magical item that can observe other life through the wall is very powerful. Unfortunately, this contaminated eyeball will continue to emit disturbing gibbering, which makes people unable to help but listen, but they cannot hear anything clearly.The most important thing is that Lanerwus is likely to possess the divinity of the true creator, and approaching the opponent with a magical item from the Aurora Society is tantamount to alerting the enemy.

After much hesitation, she threw the eyeballs back into the bullet box and put them away in a hidden compartment in the basement.

Turning off the lights and locking the door, Angel came to the street, stopped a hired carriage, and headed to the dock area adjacent to the Bridge District.

Then she switched to walking, gradually approaching the huge building on the banks of the Tasok River and the clock tower rising into the clouds next to the dock under the cover of night.

If you go to the top of the clock tower, you should be able to see most of the dock area clearly. If the Nighthawks take any action, you will be able to quickly know...

But she didn't go to the bell tower. She knew that the view here was good, didn't others know that?
If the Nighthawks act cautiously, it is very likely that corresponding observers will be deployed here to be responsible for detecting and responding to emergencies, and there may even be more than one person.

Now that she no longer has the status of a Nighthawk, there is no need to meet these "former colleagues". Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if they knew each other?

After bypassing the bell tower, Angel came to the dormitory of the dock union. It was a brick-red two-story building. The first floor was the lobby and various functional facilities, and the entire second floor was divided into dormitories. At this time, it was still Some had lights on, and figures inside were moving.

She pretended to be a pedestrian, wearing a hood, hiding her hands under the cloak, and walked slowly past the dormitory without looking away.

Tonight, she was just going to be a quiet bystander.

Walking through the alley next to the dormitory, she came to a three-story office building. She climbed nimbly from the back to the top floor, and found a vantage point that could not be observed by the bell tower, but where she could still see Lanerwus. In the corner of the dormitory where he was hiding, he crouched down, covered his whole body with a black cloak, and stared at the small brick-red building.

The Nighthawks would take action at any moment, and she was here waiting patiently.

----

Fortunately, I came here after dinner, otherwise under the influence of the "Ring of Madness", I might have been so hungry that my chest was touching my back...

Angel glanced at the clock tower and found that the pointer had passed 0 o'clock and pointed to the 1 position, which meant that Sunday had passed and it was early morning on Monday.

There was a figure poking his head above the clock tower. Angel could only vaguely see his movements in the dark vision. He seemed to be paying attention to the movement of the dock union dormitory. He had been standing there for more than two hours since around 11 o'clock. .

This observation post of the Nighthawks gave Angel great confidence, otherwise she would have almost thought that the Nighthawks had canceled the operation after waiting for half a night.

She withdrew her gaze from the bell tower and looked towards the dormitory building again. She was surprised to find a huge object floating from across the Tasok River. It was olive-shaped and more than 20 meters long. Its whole body was painted black to absorb the moonlight. If it weren't for There were two giant propellers turning behind her, and even with dark vision, it was almost difficult for her to distinguish them from the night background.

This is an airship!

The huge propeller rotated rapidly, pushing the airship to the top of the East Balam dock. This behemoth did not know what treatment it had undergone, and made no sound at all until the airship slowly descended to a height that was almost parallel to her position. Angel Only then could I barely feel a stirred breeze.

The airship is made of cotton fabric wrapped in an internal air bag, with a light alloy support in the middle, which supports squares on the surface of the cotton fabric.Several machine guns, a large-caliber artillery, and even several bomb-dropping ports protrude from the metal box hanging below.

At this time, these weapons were all aimed at the small brick-red building that looked small in comparison.

"It seems that the Nighthawks invested a lot today. They actually sent an airship. Could it be that military personnel were involved in the operation?" Looking at the heavily armed airship not far away in front of him, Angel thought, "But Are they planning to directly cover Lanerwus' hiding place with firepower? There are many civilians inside."

Soon, the actions of the Nighthawks proved that Angel's worries were unnecessary.

Three figures wearing black windbreakers appeared below the airship. Angel could see that all three of them had conspicuous red gloves on their hands.

This is a direct indication of who they are - the Red Gloves.

The man in the lead was carrying a silver-white metal box in his hand, and the collar of his windbreaker was raised high, covering his neck and chin.

Angel instantly confirmed the identity of the other party - "Sword of the Goddess", Crestel Sesima!
