Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 306 Request from the Eye of Wisdom

"Old sir, what do you want me to do if you stay here?"

It was Sherlock who spoke first. He was still wearing a hooded robe and an iron mask that covered the upper half of his face as usual. He was sitting straight on the armchair with his hands folded under the robe, exuding a sense of rejection. The temperament of a person thousands of miles away.

"Haha, I just want to ask you a few questions about the 'Devil Dog' from a month ago." The Eye of Wisdom chuckled and said, "First of all, I want to confirm again, that Sequence 6 'Devil Dog' 'The dog was killed by you, right?"

"I killed it. Haven't its extraordinary properties been sold to you? How can it still be fake?"

Angel felt something was wrong, and his tone deliberately contained a hint of dissatisfaction, leading the topic to the authenticity of extraordinary characteristics.

"Of course it's true. I've verified it. That's why I ask."

The organizer of the gathering of extraordinary people looked at Sherlock who was sitting in the corner instead of Angel who was talking back.

"After you sold me the characteristics of the 'Devil' that day, you pretended to propose a deal, but you were actually giving him half of the proceeds. You know each other and have cooperated before, right?"

Sherlock said nothing, acquiescing.

"Yes, he and I actually killed that demon dog together."

Seeing that Sherlock did not deny it, Angel had no choice but to nod and admit the matter. After all, the "Eye of Wisdom" should have confirmed this by keeping the two of them together, and the inquiry was just out of politeness.

Of course, she did not tell the other party the specific battle process, which would expose their potion methods and strength.

Eyes of Wisdom raised the corners of his mouth, making his nasolabial folds more obvious. He seemed to be happy that his judgment was correct, and then he continued:

"Then this is a bit strange. As far as I know, Extraordinaries of the 'Demon' sequence have a special sense of danger directed at them. If you two can kill it easily, it will definitely not show up easily. of."

He seemed to be asking Angel and Sherlock, but also seemed to be talking to himself, expressing his own analysis.

"Unless you have a way to hide your own strength and let it think that killing you is the best way to avoid danger, it will take the initiative to attack... Well, do you two have some kind of anti-divination and anti-prophecy method? Interfering with its sense of danger... No, only one person should be able to do it, otherwise it would not be able to sense any danger."

Seeing him analyze the truth in just a few words, Angel was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this old gentleman not only had the prestige of being able to hold parties for a long time, but also had excellent reasoning skills.

No wonder he calls himself the "Eye of Wisdom"...

"So, what are you going to say? If you are just asking about the battle process, then she already told you last time, and you already know the reason why the devil dog took the initiative. Can we leave?"

Sherlock's tone was low, with a hint of impatience, which was completely inconsistent with his usual image. Angel guessed that he was acting in some way, perhaps because he wanted to force the "Eye of Wisdom" to reveal his true purpose quickly.

"I just want to know, when you killed the 'Demon Dog' last time, did you feel that there was anyone peeping around you, or even someone interfering with that battle?"

peep?

Angel recalled the fierce battle in that lightless alley, her inexplicable tacit cooperation with Sherlock, and the devil dog's desperate and crazy attack.

But there is no fourth "person" in it...

really not?
She suddenly thought that after killing the demon dog, the two subconsciously leaned together to guard against subsequent attacks.Could it be that at that time, the two people's spirituality had given some kind of reminder, making her and Sherlock think that someone would continue to attack them later, but the battle was too fierce and the two of them were nervous and did not realize it?
Obviously, Sherlock sitting in the corner also thought of this. He nodded hesitantly and said:
"It's possible, but the other party didn't show up in the end, so I can't be sure."

A coin appeared in his hand at some point, but he never threw it out. He just stroked the uneven surface of the coin with his fingertips.

Even the divination experts are not sure... Is it because of the opponent's anti-divination?
"That's right. Behind the 'Devil Dog', there is indeed another Beyonder." Eyes of Wisdom crossed his legs, assumed a comfortable posture, and continued, "Just two days ago, Baekeland The archives of the German Police Headquarters were stolen, and a file is missing. I think you can guess which one it is."

"This morning, multiple private detectives received threatening letters, written in blood, announcing that they would all die, with a predetermined 'time of death' on them. At the end of this month, November 11, everyone will It’s the same day.”

Threatening letters...Why do I keep getting threatening letters recently?

Angel was a little surprised, but not much.

Before the demon dog attacked her and Sherlock, the two of them had already analyzed that there might be someone behind the animal that was undergoing the 'ascension ceremony' that fed it and provided it with potions. The quick start of action again left Angel a little confused.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't we hibernate first and wait for the storm to completely pass and for the relevant personnel to relax their vigilance?Stealing files and sending threatening letters in a big way is like shouting at the whole world to make everyone pay attention to his actions. They are reckless and unnecessary.

She secretly looked at Sherlock in the corner - this "detective" was also one of the people who participated in analyzing the case and provided clues. Could he also be on the other party's revenge list?
"It is unlikely that this 'devil dog' took the magic potion on its own and was promoted to Sequence 6," the Eye of Wisdom continued without seeming to notice Angel's little move, "Of course, it accidentally consumed extraordinary properties. It is an example of an extraordinary creature with wisdom after surviving death by luck, but it is impossible for this creature to know the promotion method and potion formula, so there must be a 'master' behind it who has the same path but a higher sequence."

"And you think those detectives are facing vengeance from this man?"

Sherlock asked rhetorically.

"That's right, and as the people who killed it, you should have been on the list originally, but it was difficult for him to find you for a while, and there was no record in the official files, so he could only focus on the unlucky detective first."

"They should report the crime and seek help from official Beyonders."

"It is true, but this is the last resort. The detectives don't want to deal with the authorities, especially among them there are guys called 'Wild Extraordinaries'. They would rather face the situation than be locked up under the church. To danger.”

The Eye of Wisdom looked at Angel who made "reasonable suggestions" and explained.

"This is why I kept you. I received a commission and wanted to hire you two extraordinary people who had killed the 'Devil Dog' to participate in the action of protecting the detectives, and even have the opportunity to locate the person behind the scenes. , solve the last troubles, for them, and for yourselves. Of course, if the risk is really high, they will not hesitate to ask official extraordinary people for help, and will not put you in mortal danger."

After hearing the other party's true purpose, Angel nodded clearly.

Sure enough, this "Eye of Wisdom" laid all the groundwork just to bring Sherlock and I in. I don't know what benefits those detectives promised him to make him so dedicated. I remember the first time I attended the party here in the summer Locke was once threatened by other extraordinary people and tried to ask for help. At that time, he suggested that the other party "spend money to eliminate disasters"...

She was a little hesitant, because Sherlock would obviously appear on the death list of the person behind the scenes. Unlike herself who had hidden her identity, Sherlock had an obvious identity as a detective. Unless he gave up this identity and changed his identity, it was very likely that he would be killed. was secretly retaliated against.

"Sorry, I refuse."

Without even hearing the reward for the commission, the detective refused without hesitation.

This made the words Angel was about to agree hang in his throat.
