Looking at her friend who looked a little ugly, Ella felt relieved. This was Ling in her impression.

-

Mansour Road is on the edge of the town, and one side is next to the town's drainage ditch. A large amount of household garbage is floating on the water, and they present an ugly dark green under the dim light.

Although it is still indistinguishable from Ella's architectural style, as Jack said, it is clearly a slum in the town.

Because like slums in other places, it has poor sanitary conditions and an unpleasant smell. Most of it comes from the drains filled with garbage, but it also comes from the corners between the houses.

Unlike other areas of the town, the buildings on Mansur Road are mostly bungalows, with some random sheds and an old abandoned steel factory.

With the depletion of the mineral veins on Tangerang Island, the Mansour Factory was abandoned and no new businessmen took over. It gradually became a garbage dump for the townspeople and a refuge for the poor.

There were only three executors in this operation. Jack did not have the ability to hide his body, and the relevant magic was not something he could learn immediately.

The magic chosen by Ayla and Ling was "Embrace of the Night", which was a spell created by the dirty blood clan. Those alien species that sucked human blood used this magic to hide in the night.Ella felt like her body was covered with an invisible curtain. She could still feel her body, but it seemed to have become part of the night.

Hyde chose another strange spell, which he called "Sigh of the Neglected". Ella did not remember that she had ever learned this magic. It was probably the secret treasure of the Belusa family.

It didn't really hide Hyde's figure, he was still standing there as before the operation seemed to have changed, but surprisingly, Ayla just felt that this person disappeared.Before he opened his mouth to show off, the girl didn't even notice that there was another person standing in front of her.

Hyde said that this kind of magic will make the user be ignored. This is the ability to affect the consciousness of others. Even if he appears in front of your eyes, he will still be ignored.

After getting ready, the three began to search separately.

"The factory is located in the center of the street. If he just hid in the ruins of the factory, then Ling should not have lost his target. He should have hid in a private house around the corner."

Ella was in charge of searching the front section of the street. There was the only two-story building on the street. She took a breath, cast a floating spell on herself, and planned to enter through the window on the second floor.

But at this time, she heard vague human voices. It was almost one o'clock in the morning, but the owner of the house seemed not to rest yet.

Chapter 22 Three

Tangerang town, the ruins of the steel factory on Mansour Road.

With the shelter of "Embrace of the Night", Ling walked straight into the abandoned factory, and there was no sound under her feet, which was a skill Ling learned from Fred.

To be honest, this place made her feel very uncomfortable. The homeless and property owners had set up large and small shacks inside the factory, or simply lay on the ground.

Garbage mixed with the smell of sweat permeated the surrounding area, and the sounds of heavy snoring, cockroaches crawling and rodents gnawing were mixed together.

This environment gave Ling the illusion that she had returned to the port of Liverpool eight years ago, where young girls walked among the homeless and the unemployed, relying on stealing in exchange for medicine, because there was still Someone is waiting for her.

But the girl has grown into a young girl, and the shack has long been burned to ashes.

Ling shook his head and quickly got rid of the memories. This was not an environment where he could think about these things.

In fact, she became more and more wary, and it was the second time she had entered that strange state after entering the factory.This was very abnormal. Ling didn't think she was like that just because of the slum environment. There was indeed something "something" here that made her feel strangely familiar.

This is a good sign, it means that there must be some kind of ghoul-related clues in this factory, and their search route is correct.

Human beings have more or less inspiration, that is, the mind, which psychologists in the ordinary world call the subconscious mind.

Everyone may have similar experiences, such as seeing a scene they have seen in a dream and having a correct premonition about something.The feeling was fleeting, as if I had just woken up from a dream, trying desperately to recall the details, and then searching my brain, but found nothing.

That is usually the impression left by something that one's own spirit has come into contact with.

This is different from the senses of the body. The spirit of ordinary people is weak and weak, so the inspiration produced is also vague.Relatively speaking, the wizard's spirit is more powerful and closely connected with its own magic power, so the wizard's inspiration is clearer and more accurate than that of ordinary people, and it can even be actively used as spiritual vision.

That unusually familiar feeling became clearer in Ling's heart. When this feeling reached a certain limit, Ling suddenly lowered her head and looked at the ground. On the ground where she was about to fall next, there was an amber medicine bottle. .

Ling withdrew his right foot expressionlessly, leaned over to pick it up, and gently smelled the few drops of medicinal liquid left in the bottle, and then his whole body became like a sculpture.

……

Hyde is in charge of searching the second half of Mansur Road, and he has already searched most of the houses and shacks with "Sigh of the Ignored".

Out of caution, he took off the ring before taking action. Its side effects would seriously affect the effect of this magic. Of course, the provocative target would not continue to treat him as a "neglected person".

Hyde didn't get much. He did find some paw prints on the wall or gelatinous skin fragments on the ground.

The traces told him that ghouls had been here, but that was all.

There was some doubt in Hyde's mind. According to his understanding of ghouls, they were savage, bloodthirsty monsters. They could be called cunning at best, but they were far from intelligent.

He couldn't understand why there were no reports of missing persons or killings on the island since ghouls had appeared in these places before.

With doubts in his heart, Hyde left the last house, but he didn't find any useful clues inside.

There was a relaxed smile on the boy's face. Although he didn't find any decisive clues, it didn't mean he lacked ideas.

Looking at the dark depths of the drainage ditch and the traces scattered around it, Hyde thought:

"There is no better place for monsters to hide than here."

However, he hesitated to explore here alone. The knee-deep dark green sewage and piled up garbage were probably more terrifying to the nobles of the Belusay family than the monster itself.

But it was a chance, and if he found the ghoul alone and completed the mission, he won—over that Williams.

Thinking of this, Hyde couldn't help swallowing. Compared with others, this is the most important thing for him.

After confirming that no one was around, Hyde put on the "Ring of the Arrogant" again. The plan has been drawn up, and now he needs the power of this alchemy ring.

Then Hyde poured magic power into another of his alchemy items, the silver necklace "Mysterious Door." Although the creatures summoned by this item were random, they would still be affected by the amount of magic power absorbed.

Hyde only poured in the minimum amount of magic power, no matter how bad his luck was, no terrible creatures would appear.

The shadow of a light door was outlined in mid-air, and then a goat appeared in front of him.

Affected by the ring, the goat soon became hostile to Hyde.

"Spiritual slavery."

Hyde yelled in a low voice, and soon, the goat's movements became stiff and sluggish, bending its forelimbs to express its obedience to Hyde.

The boy used several spells on the goat, and then ordered it to enter the depths of the drain.

……

Ella floated in the window of the second-story building, cast a silencing spell around herself, and quietly opened the window.

Ella floated on the floor. After her observation outside the house, the room she entered should be the study on the second floor, and the owner of the small building has a bedroom separated by a wall.

A strange voice came from behind the wall. Thinking of what Jack had said, Ella turned her head in embarrassment.

The style of this house was very different from that of the local residents. What surprised Ella was that the style was more familiar to her. The owner here probably came from a foreign country like them.

After searching, Ella found no trace left by the ghoul.

But what caught her attention was that Ella found books about monsters in a conspicuous place in the study room, and there were even bookmarks in the pages related to ghouls.

Could it be that the owner of the house is the wizard hiding behind the ghoul?

At this time, the voice behind the wall suddenly became loud and urgent.

Ella was so frightened that she almost dropped the book on the ground.She gradually denied her suspicions. The impression left on her by the owner of the house was completely different from that of the wizard.

Even among the dark wizards recorded in Professor Benson's History of Magic, none of them had ever engaged in such a profession.

A few minutes later, a man left the room in a hurry, and another woman in silk underwear and curly blonde hair came to the door holding a candlestick, lit a cigarette and watched the former go downstairs.

The lady with curly blond hair stiffened unnaturally after taking a deep breath of smoke.

After a while, she held up the candlestick and came to the door of the study, and said in a timid tone,

"Is anyone here?"

Chapter 23 The Human-Like Monster

"Is anyone here?"

This timid tone made the girl feel cold all over!

Extremely frightened, Ayla's heart almost stopped beating at this moment.

Discovered?Why?How can this be?

Ella's heart was filled with wonder. She used magic to hide her body and voice, and ordinary people should not be able to find her.

In fact, even wizards find it difficult to do so, and only a few experienced magicians are likely to find traces of her magic in the air.

But under Ella's spiritual vision, the lady in front of her was just an ordinary person.

Is this just a coincidence?No, there is another possibility, if this woman has the ability to completely hide her magic power at such a distance without being discovered by Ayla, then she will at least be a powerful wizard at the level of Executive Officer Howard Youssef!

The girl subconsciously pulled out the revolver from her waist, aimed at the approaching lady, and put her finger on the trigger.

"calm."

This is a hint from the shadow.

Unaware of what Ayla was thinking, the blond curly-haired lady took two more steps forward with the candlestick in hand, the muzzle of the revolver remaining within two feet of her chest.

"I smelled elderflowers. Although it was very faint, it reminded me of my hometown. Believe me, please don't have any malicious intentions, and please don't hurt me."

Ella subconsciously lowered her head and smelled herself. Except for the residual smell of mosquito repellent, she smelled nothing. God knows when was the last time she used perfume, maybe two or three days ago?

She gradually let go of the guard in her heart, took a few steps back, and planned to leave from the window.The woman should indeed be just an ordinary person, if she is really such a terrifying wizard, there is no reason why she would let herself go.

"If you came because of those monsters this afternoon—"

Ella was horrified, lifted the magic, and exposed her body to the moonlight from the window.

"You mean you've seen those ghouls?"

Ella put the book on the wooden table. The bookmark was a cursive signature,

"Ms. Rosa Willett?"

When Ms. Willett saw Ella suddenly appearing in front of the window, she couldn't help trembling. The candlestick fell to the ground, and the flame was extinguished.

Although she boldly entered the study room where there were intruders, she still showed timidity.

Verit saw the girl in front of her clearly through the moonlight, and smiled to herself,
