Chapter 377 The meeting on the roof

 "This card is really interesting."

Looking at the contents of the card, the strange existence holding the soul on the card seems to come to life under the light of the kerosene lamp.

Shade shook his head to drive away his illusion, and then asked:

"So what's going on on the third floor?"

The long-faced man replied:

"There is a group of very rude people living on the third floor. There are about fifteen or six of them. My friend said that most of these people don't like to go out. They lock themselves upstairs every day. Occasionally, they go downstairs at night.

Find some girls. They are waiting for a ship to the New World, maybe they are wanted fugitives."

After saying that, he stood up and said goodbye to Shade, who also took the card and said goodbye to Mr. Asmon.

He had a very strange premonition that this might be the special ability of the Ring Warlock. Shade would definitely meet this man who calls himself a demonologist again.

After Mr. Asmon left, Shade also came to the counter, put a one-penny coin on the table and pushed it to the woman:

"Send a letter for me to Mr. Darkness upstairs."

Shade lowered his voice and tore off a piece of paper from his notebook:

"I know he lives here."

After receiving accurate information that Mr. Darkness' companion was here, Shade made an appointment to meet him at another location.

He didn't write who he was, he just said he was a companion on the boat, so he wanted to invite the other party to meet. It would be better if the other party could come. If he couldn't come to Shade, he went to Lesia for help and asked the police to use it as a fire safety hazard.

Search this place, it will definitely reveal Mr. Darkness.

The woman put away the silver coin and looked at it under the gas lamp:

"That's what you came here for, right? In fact, you don't have to go out of your way to buy drinks and watch Rhodes cards. You can just give them money."

"You are probably more willing to do things for your own customers than to do things for strangers who suddenly show up."

Shade said that it didn't cost a few pennies to buy the wine anyway, and it also gave him the opportunity to check out the situation in the hotel. This was a little trick for finding people to do things.

"So, are you interested in our girls? Maybe you can have some fun while waiting for someone."

The middle-aged woman asked with a smile, reaching out to touch Shade's face.

Shade took a step back, shook his head regretfully, and his voice returned to normal volume:

"I prefer Rhodes cards to women."

There was the sound of someone choking on his drink from behind, followed by the laughter of men:

"Mrs. Mary, this trick of yours is useless."

That should be the name of the woman behind the counter.

"Bah, damn gamblers."

The woman smiled and cursed in a low voice. Shade was in a good mood and pretended not to hear it, turned around and walked out of the Pink Rose Hotel.

The place where he made an appointment with Mr. Darkness was on the roof of a building that was still under construction twenty minutes away from here. The house had been roughly completed, but the surrounding steel pipes and locks had not been removed. It had a strong smell of paint.

There is an iron ladder on one side of the wall for easy going up and down, but for some reason there are no workers here today, so it is very convenient to meet strangers.

After Shade climbed to the roof, he held an umbrella and looked at the hazy harbor in the rain. Because the buildings were relatively tall, he could vaguely see the sea level in the distance. The pattering rain made the ancient harbor city seem to be covered with a layer of haze.

fog, but I don’t know how long the current calm can last.

After waiting for half an hour, the sound of boots colliding with iron plates finally came from below. After waiting quietly for a while, Mr. Darkness came alone. Because Shade had prepared a mask in advance, he could not see Xia De at this time.

The appearance of virtue.

A middle-aged man with short, yellow hair and outward-turned eyelids, wearing a red glove on his right hand like last time.

He and Shade both held a black umbrella. The two men stood on the edge of the roof, staring at each other from a considerable distance, and neither one spoke first.

Shade is not Luvia. He does not have the ability to identify the chosen one at a glance. When he first met Iluna at the door of the pet store a month ago, he felt as if the light of the whole world was shining on one person.

It has not appeared at the auction of the cruise ship. Therefore, Shade, like everyone except Luvia, cannot distinguish the other chosen ones before they truly awaken.

The woman's voice in his ear reminded Shade of words like "fate" when he met Iluna again at Lakeview Manor. But on the cruise ship, she didn't react in any way. It seemed that she was the same as Shade.

, they are all just reacting to Iluna as an individual.

[No, I said, the real talent of your 'other self' is rebound destiny. I can feel the fate of the chosen one affecting your destiny, such as that night at Lakeview Manor, the ritual of summoning the evil god and her

Encounter.]

"But on the ship, I was also implicated on the fishbone pirate ship because of the special fate of the chosen one."

[But that is just a slight fluctuation of fate. Compared with the evil god, the sage-level relic is nothing at all. 】

What she said seems to make sense, that is to say, only when Shade is once again involved in something related to God because of the Chosen One, can he clearly know whether the other person is the Chosen One.

But it doesn’t matter if you don’t know. There are still a few coins in [God’s Gift Box]. What Shade wants to do is to meet the chosen one, and even get the items used by the other person, and then let Luvia say "Shade"

Questions such as "Have you encountered a candidate for the Chosen One today?" and "Does this dress belong to the Chosen One?" are used for divination.

This is not a direct divination of the chosen one.

Mr. Darkness seemed to have made up his mind not to speak, so Shade said:

"Good morning, sir, I think there is no need for the atmosphere between us to be so awkward. I just wanted to ask you if you have any good ideas to deal with the curse of the Mermaid Song on us. I think it is impossible for you not to be aware of this."

"Actually, what I'm more interested in is, how did you find me?"

The middle-aged man frowned and asked, and then said:

"Also, if you can take off your mask, I will trust you more."

"No, no, no, then I won't trust you."

Shade shook his head, and then said softly:

"We are all survivors on that ship, why not join forces to solve the curse?"

"Sorry, not interested."

Mr. Darkness shook his head slightly and stared at Shade:

"Is there anything else?"

"The church has been looking for us recently. You should know this, right? We are hiding each other, and we will be found sooner or later. Wouldn't it be safer to find the reason why the church wants to catch us together?"

"It's safer for me to be with my friends. As for you and me, we are six-ring warlocks. What about you?"

He smiled, and his attitude undoubtedly showed that he looked down on Shade.

Those blood-red gloves were the only thing that looked colored on this rainy rooftop.
