Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 72 An Encounter in the Watch Industry

After solving the "Tarot Club" problem, Angel didn't have the heart to stay in the "Scavenger Bird Bar". She said goodbye to "Justice" and her bodyguard in a hurry, and left the trading market.

The pair of master and servant seemed to have other deals. When Angel walked down the stairs, he saw them walking towards the message board again.

Think about it, the "Seer" potion needs more than just the star crystal, the blood of the Lava octopus is also one of the main ingredients, and other auxiliary ingredients are easy to obtain, even if they are not sold in the trading market, most of them can You can buy it at regular herbal stores.

The 5ml of octopus blood that was written on the blackboard before seems to have been bought by her, but if this Miss "Justice" has obtained all the needed Rava octopus blood and bought the star crystal, she will definitely go back as soon as possible Configure potions instead of continuing to linger in the trading market.

It seems that there might be a Rava octopus standing in her way on her path to becoming an Extraordinary...

Angel was more interested in the unknown bodyguard next to her than "Justice" who was chasing potions at high prices.

From the short contact before, she found that the other party was probably a Extraordinary.

It's a pity that Extraordinary people can't be identified in appearance. Even if they have their spirit vision turned on, they are only healthier and stronger than ordinary people in their field of vision, which is completely what normal people can achieve with a little training.

Unless you use your hands and see the other party use extraordinary abilities, it is difficult to distinguish it from ordinary people.

This is also the reason why the "Mechanical Heart" civil servant was discovered by his teammates after he took the Sequence 8 potion privately.

But if this bodyguard is a Extraordinary, why did he become the follower of an underage girl?Because of lack of money, I still fulfill my promise, or...

While walking out of the "scavenging bird", she was thinking about a big drama in her mind.

------

Angel, who returned to the "Silver Bullet" with dinner and supper, just opened the door when he saw the captain of the Port of Enmate team. Clement was straightening his windbreaker and walking towards the door.

Seeing him getting ready to go, Angel asked curiously:
"Captain Clement, are you going out on patrol?"

"Patrol? I don't have this free time now. I'm going to replace the teammates who have been watching all day during the day. They don't even have time to eat."

Clement replied with a tired face, this kind of mental state is extremely rare in Beyonders of the "sleepless" path.

It seems that the late arrival of Backlund's team turned this joint operation into a "war of attrition", and made the already understaffed Enmat Port team's manpower situation worse. Even the captain had to go out to work in the middle of the night. No wonder the Nighthawks stronghold Not a few living people were seen all day.

Angel stepped aside to open the gate, and Clement hurried past her and left the "Silver Bullet" on foot, not knowing where to "stalk".

The door was closed, and Angel looked around the hall on the first floor, and found that only himself and Daly Simone sitting in the corner were left, and the other Nighthawks of the "Sleepless" sequence were probably pulled out.

At this time, she was a little thankful that she was an "Assassin" and not a "Sleepless One".

"Have you caught that 'Mechanical Heart' member?"

Putting the bought dinner on the coffee table, Angel sat opposite Daly, picked up the coffee pot and shook it, and found that there was still some in it, although it was already cold.

"Unfortunately, not."

Daly was resting with her eyes closed. As one of the few sequences other than the "sleepless" in the team, she took on the task of guarding the garrison when her teammates went out to perform tasks in turn. Members, the word exhaustion has been written on the face at this time.

Hearing the question, she opened her eyes, and Angel realized that Daly's blush and eye shadow that seemed to be growing on her face had been washed off at some point, revealing her fair skin.

"The 'Mechanical Hearts' have used a sealed item that can be used to locate a specific target through divination. Unfortunately, Tomac used some kind of anti-divination method, so that the divination started yesterday and has not been able to accurately locate it until this afternoon. , that anti-divination method has been broken through."

After taking a sip of the cold coffee poured by Angel, Daly continued:
"The location is in an apartment on Plank Street, under the jurisdiction of our Nighthawks. I think they have planned to solve it privately. After all, the current members have become traitors and killed two teammates. What a long face. But the divination was quickly interfered by the other party, and when the situation is unknown and the manpower is insufficient, they can only ask the 'Nighthawks' to cooperate and carry out the arrest together."

"Anti-divination? What kind of Beyonder is that defector?"

Angel once learned the meaning of "anti-divination" when Old Neil was divining a wanted person, but according to him, at least the Extraordinary who can use this technique must be a mid-sequence Extraordinary, and it must be limited to being proficient in divination ability of those ways.

"They didn't know either. The two teammates killed by him were shot in the back and died on the spot. There were no other signs of damage at the scene with ordinary revolver bullets. The reason why the members who are equipped with automatic weapons is that they are afraid of facing mid-sequence Beyonders."

"It's a pity that the heavily armed 'Mechanical Hearts' were still in vain. The other party is proficient in anti-divination skills, and the corresponding divination ability should not be bad. He was aware of the action of arresting him in advance and fled before we arrived. what a pity."

There was no sign of regret on Daly's face, but instead revealed a kind of ridicule for watching fun.

"The house in the apartment was bought by Tomac long ago and used as a secret stronghold. We found a lot of spiritual materials and weapons hidden in the room, which should have been intercepted by him while working. Hull Man, that's the 'Mechanical Heart' you saw today, and it is judged that the two team members who were killed by him were silenced when they went to confront each other because they found out that Tomac had hidden spiritual materials."

"It's a pity that there is such a commotion today. No matter how stupid Tomac is, he will not stay in Enmat Port. If he moves faster, finds a boat that dares to go to sea at night, and goes south along the coast, he should be able to reach Pritz Harbor tomorrow morning. "

The last wanted person who was determined to escape from Tingen City overnight, died in Tingen in the end...

Angel remembered the "assassin" he killed when he retrieved Antigonus' notes, and he was noncommittal about Daly's judgment, but this matter had little to do with her, and seeing that Daly was a little sleepy, he didn't refute her View.

The two shared the dinner that Angel brought back - a grilled fish with Dixie, and then ate some Intis longbread that was as hard as a stick with the soup, until the Nighthawk who was replaced by Clement returned here , Dai Li, who was already so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open, said goodbye to Angel and left the "Silver Bullet".

Handing the 1 soli banknote to the coachman, Angel jumped out of the carriage.

It was already the morning of the next day. When the sun was supposed to be shining brightly, a dark cloud blown from the sea to Enmat harbor covered most of the sky, making the whole city gloomy. Blessed by the sun, it presents a beautiful view under the Tyndall effect produced by water vapor.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the port of Enmat is still crowded with tourists despite the coastline being full of oil and garbage...

Angel glanced at the coastline with little interest, and then looked away. She had a heavy task today, but she didn't have time to appreciate the beautiful scenery in the distance.

After waking up early in the morning, Captain Clement, who had stayed out all night, returned to the station and announced a piece of news that made everyone happy and worried.

The Backlund team has been confirmed to arrive at Enmat Port tomorrow, that is, at noon on Sunday, and the "long-awaited" operation will begin tomorrow night.

Except for Daly, who was seriously overworked and looked tired, the rest of the sleepless people were all elated. It was heard that in order to prevent the target from running away early, they still had to keep tracking several target strongholds, even if they only slept for three or four hours a day. Sleepless", the smile on his face was gradually replaced by a sad look.

Fortunately, there are a large number of sleepless people, and after reasonable distribution, all shifts can be filled. Angel, as a rare way, can't stay up late like sleepless people without losing combat effectiveness. " within.

She was assigned to be on duty at night, and another "corpse collector" was on duty during the day, so she was able to finish what she wanted to do in her last free time.

In the afternoon, she planned to contact the Extraordinary who left a message in the trading market, and if possible, buy the main ingredients of the "Instigator" potion.

A Sequence 8 potion main material needs 200 to 300 pounds, and the potion formula itself costs around 400 pounds. Fortunately, Angel already knows the "Assassin" path potion formula up to Sequence 7, and the only thing to buy is It's just material.

In order to ensure that she could get at least one main material, she sold all the "star crystals" yesterday, and she already had more than 400 pounds in cash. As long as the other party didn't wantonly increase the price, it should be enough.

But before going to the "Scavenger Bird" to trade, Angel plans to go to "Kavi Watch Shop".

Yesterday's appraisal of "Thirsty Blood" let her know that "Craftsman" Kawein is well-known and admired by "The Hanged Man", and his ability is indeed extraordinary.

I don't know if this craftsman can take over the job of making new weapons...

Angel had a lot of better weapon designs than revolvers in her head, but she didn't have the ability to make them, so she kept this idea buried in her heart. After meeting the "craftsman", her eager heart became active again.

It was exactly 9 o'clock in the morning, and in the shocking bell of the "God of Steam and Machinery" church, which was driven by gears and connecting rods, Angel returned to the inconspicuous "Kavi Clock Shop". shop door.

The still-unwashed glass door was ajar.

Fortunately, it seems that this store does not close on weekends.

Angel's hanging heart was relieved, she reached out and knocked on the door, and without waiting for the invitation from inside, she opened the door and walked in.

The gas lamp in the store was not turned on. In the dim environment, the old man who she had mistaken for Kavey before was lying on the narrow aisle, a dark red blood flowed from the place where his face touched the floor, and the short-barreled shotgun was thrown away. far away.

Carvey, the craftsman, clutched his bleeding left shoulder and knelt on the ground. There were red handprints on his neck after being pinched, and a brass revolver with an extended muzzle rested on his forehead.

The owner of the pistol stood in front of Carvey, holding the gun in his right hand and holding a pocket watch in his left hand.Hearing the sound of the door opening, the man in a long windbreaker and peaked cap tilted his head slightly, and his eyes under the thick-rimmed glasses turned to the door.
