On Thursday, in the fortune-telling club, Angel Duan sat in her own "divination witch" room, drinking coffee boredly and looking at the unchanged fortune-telling room furnishings.
"How come fortune-telling people have come recently, especially women, more than half less than before, even the fortune-telling room next door, which is very popular with female customers, has become quiet... Has the economic crisis caused by the defeat of the war finally been transmitted to Beckland?"
Using the rhetoric of the economic analysis column that can be seen in the newspaper every day as an excuse to convince herself, Angel came to the corridor and asked for several newspapers of the day from the front desk. When she returned to her fortune-telling room, she secretly observed the half-doored fortune-telling room next door and was satisfied to see that the one inside was quite handsome. The middle-aged fortune teller also watched the newspaper doing nothing.
Back in her room, she opened several newspapers and first looked at the Beckland Morning Post. On the fifth page, she found an advertisement for the acquisition of goods by Ernst Bank.
This means that tomorrow, that is, at eight o'clock on Friday night, the "Eye of Wisdom" old man will hold a party at the usual place.
Angel is going to attend this extraordinary party again after two weeks of separation. Not only does he need to sell some "storm gathering" ammunition, but he also wants to communicate well with the pharmacist Dakwell, who has cooperated with him before, to see if he can buy the formula of the "potorcer" magic potion from him.
After getting 100 pounds of "mission funds" yesterday, her savings have risen to 250 pounds, and the circulation price of the magic potion formula of sequence 9 is about this. As long as she sells some of the bullets, she is confident that she can buy this formula from the pharmacist. If the other party's price is too high, she can also consider selling it at the party. Drop the "barbarian" formula and buy it with the money you get.
Anyway, the last Viscount Glerint will pay the bill, and I can even add part of the labor fee...
Planning happily, Angel turned over the advertisement and went back to the front page to continue reading the newspaper.
"Shocked! In the real 11th serial murder case, the West Vila field is still helpless!"
Huh?
Angel's eyes moved to the headline of the newspaper, confirming that he was holding the Beckland Morning Post, not the Intis Post.
Why does everyone like this kind of sensational title now?
But I have to say that this title is really effective, and Angel's eyes were once again attracted by the front-page news. After reading it carefully, she found that this was a serial murder case that had lasted for two months. Some time ago, it was said that the 11th victim appeared, but it was soon confirmed that it was an imitation murder, and now, it is the real 11th.
The police have regarded this series of murders as a shame, and increased their police force to patrol and search. It is estimated that they also contacted the official extraordinary person to help them, but they got nothing for more than two months. The murderer is obviously also a master of hiding his whereabouts, maybe he is an extraordinary person...
Is the reason for the decrease in the number of passengers in the fortune-telling club that the murderer appeared again to commit the crime? That's right, his target is always aimed at women. Although some newspapers summarize that the victims have been street girls, and now they have found young women with formal jobs, who can say for sure about panic?
"Shocking, the income of the fortune-telling club has plummeted, and the reason behind it is..."
She helped the Intis Post with a title in her heart.
"Squeak--"
The door of the room was pushed open. Angel put down the newspaper in surprise and looked at the visitor, but immediately there was a disappointed expression on her face - the visitor was Ms. Lola.
"It's not that I don't pay for fortune-telling. Why do you see me like a ghost?"
Lola closed the door and sat down at the fortune-telling table. She took down her wide-brimmed hat and joked with a smile. Her eyes moved from Angel's face to the newspaper on the table.
"Are you also concerned about this serial murder case? But I suggest that you don't have the mind of arresting criminals and receiving bountys," she put away her smile and said seriously. "The real situation of the case is much more serious than what the newspaper discloses, and the perpetrator is likely to be an extraordinary person in the middle of the series."
"Wore more serious? Do you mean that the number of deaths is more than 11?"
Angel asked curiously.
"No, the number of deaths is not wrong, but the crime scene was very tragic. The chest and abdomen of the deceased were hollowed out, and all the internal organs were removed, like sacrifices at the sacrifice site," Lola frowned and replied. It seemed that this series of bloody cases made the extraordinary person of sequence 6 a little difficult to accept. "The police contacted in the fifth case. The official extraordinary people also found a lot of famous detectives. Even if it meant that they bowed their heads and admitted defeat, until the 11th case last night, they were still helpless and had no clues.
"The murderer took anti-divination measures?"
"It's very likely, otherwise ordinary murderers can't be at large for so long, and they have been visited by official extraordinary people."
Lola nodded and affirmed Angel's inference."This almost confirms that the other party is an extraordinary person in the middle sequence. Even if the low sequence has anti-divination, it will show flaws under the seals of major churches, and the other party is so big that he kills people continuously regardless of the impact. It is likely to achieve some purpose through these deaths, such as pleasing bloodthirsty demons. Or hold a promotion ceremony.
"The promotion ceremony? Do you mean the promotion of the magic potion sequence? But isn't it enough to drink the magic potion after mixing it correctly..."
Hearing "please the devil", Angel first thought of the evil sacrifice of Tris, the witch of Tingen, and the gray-haired happy witch, but the last sentence of Lola made her puzzled.
"This is the case below sequence 6, but from the promotion of sequence 6 to sequence 5, you need to take the correct magic potion in a specific ritual to succeed, otherwise it is almost death."
"So, what kind of ceremony does the joy witch need to be promoted to the next sequence?"
Angel probed carefully.
"Well, you'll know when you get there." Lola's face was a little gloomy, as if she remembered something unhappy.
After discussing the news in the newspaper headlines, the topic of the two turned to yesterday's meeting at the salon. Judging from the happy witch's careful avoidance of Severia in the salon, the other party really did not look like a member of the "witch sect".
"The person who took you to the salon yesterday was your online, some 'joy'? It seems that the task given to you by the Witch Sect is to get close to this popular viscount?"
After changing the topic, Lola's gloomy expression returned to normal, even with a little joking meaning.
"She is Baroness Sevelia Langdon, but the viscount is not my task, but her own."
"Since the unlucky viscount is targeted by the 'witch sect', I have no choice but to withdraw. Although the baroness probably doesn't recognize me, it's better to have less contact with that gang. Oh, this corresponds to your divination. Glarint is really not suitable for me.
I don't think there will be a suitable candidate for you in the whole Beckland...
Angel mubbled.
"But I also joined the witch sect. Are you afraid of them, but not of me?"
Lola sneered, "You are different from them, cutie."

On Friday night, Angel came to the party venue of the "Eye of Wisdom" with the special bullets she made and the recipe of the "barbarians" she had copied.
Wearing an iron mask covering the upper half of her face, Angel was led by the guard to the living room with only one candle. She was surprised to find that the number of people present was nearly half less than when she participated in the party last time. Six or seven members were sitting sparsely in the wide room, and it seemed that the "Zhi" sitting next to the coffee table in the center The eyes of wisdom" The old gentleman is a little single.
Did something happen here last week when I didn't come? Did some members leave the party?
Angel closed his hood, found a single sofa and sat down. He looked at the members who were still in the venue and was surprised to find that the fat "pharmacist" Dacwell was still here.
"Let's start. No one else will come."
"Eye of Wisdom" saw Angel sitting down and said.
"Because of the serial murder case, the punishers, the mechanical hearts and the night durspeople, and even the extraordinary people from the military Intelligence Nine Departments of the military, were sent out to search for the traces of the murderers, and even arrested many extraordinary people who usually did not care about. It is understandable that some friends don't want to go out and attend the party here.
He explained in a flat tone.
It turned out to be because of the serial murder case... Well, shocking, no one participated in the extraordinary party. What is the reason behind it?
Angel was "shocked" and turned his eyes to other people who were still participating in the party. He found that the man who solved the crisis of being targeted by sequence 5 with 400 pounds and then became an extraordinary person was looking at himself in the corner. His brown eyes had a trace of scrutiny and curiosity.
