Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 307 Directly Targeting Klein’s Threat
Whether he had expected it or did not show his surprise and disappointment, the "Eye of Wisdom" just nodded gently, calmly turned his gaze from Sherlock to Angel, and asked for her opinion.

"This matter has little to do with us. Besides, the Extraordinary who can cultivate Sequence 6 'Devils' must be at least Sequence 5, right? I think this is a bit beyond our capabilities."

Not knowing what Sherlock really thought, Angel had no choice but to agree with his opinion.

"I see. It seems that you have the means to deal with the other party's tracking. Those detectives can only seek help from official Beyonders. After all, I don't have any effective way to restrict a Sequence 5 'Apostle of Desire'."

Eyes of Wisdom spoke in a calm tone, as if he was only talking about other people's affairs... But that was also true. He was the only "outsider" present, unless the man behind the scenes loved the "Devil Dog" deeply, and even its extraordinary The characteristics must also be taken back, otherwise this old gentleman may not be easily involved in the incident.

"'Apostle of Desire', is the follow-up sequence of 'Devil'?"

Sherlock, who had relaxed completely after refusing to help and seemed to no longer pay attention to the conversation, suddenly asked.

"Yes, he has all the characteristics of a 'demon'. He is anti-divination, extremely sensitive to dangers directed at him, and can be 'demonized'. He also has the ability to use and manipulate everyone's emotions and desires. As for the specific information, I'm afraid Only the secret documents within the church are recorded. After all, each Desire Apostle carries dozens or hundreds of murder cases, and must be the focus of the Zhengshen Church."

"Thank you for your information."

Sherlock nodded slightly and thanked him, then continued to lean on the back of the chair without any "regret".

"Oh, it doesn't have to be like this. There are still more than ten days before the 'prediction' of the man behind the scenes. During this period, there should be two or three parties. If you," Eye of Wisdom said, looking at Angel, "you guys , if you are interested in providing help and participating in the distribution of high bounties, you can tell me at any time."

"A reward? But haven't they reported the crime yet?"

Angel raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I will let them do this. It will inevitably generate a higher bounty than the serial murder case, but in any case, official extraordinary people cannot provide long-term protection, and the last thing the 'devil' lacks is waiting. Be patient, as long as there is a flaw in the protection, they will still be retaliated against."

"Using the exact time he predicted, there is a chance to set up an ambush and kill the person behind the scenes?"

Angel said after taking over the other party's words.

"Yes, with your participation, the success rate will be much higher."

The old gentleman still did not give up his persuasion and added at the end.

"So, you didn't receive the threatening letter mentioned by 'Eye of Wisdom'?"

After walking out of the small building where the party was held, Klein quickly saw Angel waiting at the corner of the alley. The latter had taken off his iron mask and was looking at the street lights outside the alley with a melancholy expression.

If you don’t look at the disguised round face and the black hair hanging behind the shoulders, just looking at the side silhouette under the dim light, it is exactly the same as the Nighthawk Angel Granger in Klein’s memory, making him involuntarily recall Every moment when the two of them got along in Tingen City.

"Of course not, otherwise I would not refuse this even if it was to protect myself."

He answered in a relaxed tone, and walked out of the alley side by side with Angel. The other person would first go to a safe house in the East District before returning home, so Klein took the lead and walked towards the nearest steam subway station.

Klein did not lie about this matter. He indeed did not receive the so-called threatening letter.

Although when Eye of Wisdom first mentioned this matter, he was indeed a little worried about his identity being exposed, but if he rashly agreed to the other party's commission when he was not threatened, he might end up "having to accept protection as a threatened person again. He had to participate in the operation as a protector", so he first rejected the request of the Eye of Wisdom.

You must be careful and don't let the incident happen again, where you accidentally exposed your identity when you first came to Backlund, and ended up having to spend a lot of money to hire someone to assassinate Ambassador Intis...

Klein felt a sense of fear when he thought about the international farce that ended with the assassination of the ambassador because of his five-pound commission. Rune and Intis accused each other in the newspapers for a whole month.

Enjoying the tranquility of the street at night, he and Angel walked through the entire street, said good night to each other next to the subway station, and then parted ways. Watching each other's backs disappear around the corner of the stairs, Klein reluctantly left Backlund Bridge. District, back home in the Jowood District.

"Now that I think back to what happened at the party just now, I always feel that she is about to agree to the 'Eye of Wisdom' commission. Is it because she is worried about my identity being exposed, or is she interested in the bounty... Ha, it should be the latter. , Klein, you must not fall into the three major illusions. Now you are Sherlock Moriarty, not the Klein Moriarty she is familiar with..." He was thinking wildly, took out the key and opened the door.

The moment he opened the door, the smile on Klein's face froze. He felt that his spiritual intuition was touched. He suddenly stopped and stood by the door, observing the home through the crimson moonlight that shone into the living room through the door and window. Case.

The coat rack, coffee table, sofa, dimly visible bookshelf and stairs in the distance... are all normal.

But he knew that strangers had entered his home.

Nerves were tense and his feet were strong, ready to dodge at any time. Klein gently turned on the gas lamp at the door, and the warm light illuminated the entire room. Everything was as it was when he left in the evening, without any change.

No, there is an extra letter on the coffee table.

He picked up the cane by the door that he would take with him when he went out as a decent person, and slowly walked to the coffee table. With full attention and vigilance, he picked up the letter without any words or marks on the surface, and opened it with one hand.

A faint smell of blood drifted into his nostrils, and two lines of solidified blood characters on the thin letter paper caught Klein's eyes.

"November 11th is the day you and they die."

"No one can escape!"

The last stroke of the letters at the end of the sentence stretched out to the edge of the letter, and the bloody traces seemed to tell the other party's determination.

Threat letter!
The threatening letter mentioned by "Eye of Wisdom"!

----

At five o'clock on Sunday afternoon, Angel applied the bottle of communication potion provided by Tris on the ice mirror he made.

The ice mirror can be broken into shapeless fragments at any time according to her will. Compared with ordinary mirrors, it is more suitable for communicating with objects of unknown purpose like Triss.

Different from the direct connection last time, after applying the potion and waiting for a minute, the mirror surface became dark, and then the picture on the other side appeared.

Triss wore a robe that covered every inch of her skin. Her round face under her black hair was full of sorrow. When she saw Angel, a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes.

"As expected, you contacted me on time. I knew that I would successfully make my request that day."

These words made Angel confused, but thinking of all the strange behaviors on Triss, she came to a conclusion instantly.

"You don't remember what happened that night?"

Hearing Angel's rhetorical question, Triss's beautiful face gradually showed a mixture of fear, worry and helplessness.

"No, I remember most of it. I met you. You said you knew me in Tingen City. I also told you... about my current situation. But I forgot about it later. When I woke up, I was naked again. , lying on that guy's bed, he, he..."

"Prince Edsac Augustus?"

Angel carefully interrupted Triss.

"That's right, it's him!"

Triss shouted through gritted teeth.
