In the bar, most of the guests seemed to be still immersed in the performance of the previous scene. They looked at the slowly dissipating smoke, some were amazed, some were curious, some had distorted faces, and some had a sense of dreaminess, as if watching
A very real movie.
"It's the magician Copperfield!"
Karl put away the revolver in his hand and came to the place where he had shot before. He saw the smoking bullet holes on the opposite wall and asked Aaron with a very serious expression: "Did you provoke him? What if you hired me to deal with him?
If so, I refuse."
Hey, aren't you a lunatic? Do you want to be so sensible?
Aaron rolled his eyes, complained in his mind, poured himself a glass of beer, and nodded calmly.
Barkin looked at his boss and then at Karl. He didn't dare to say anything. He was just an ordinary person. He could deal with low-level Extraordinaries. But when he encountered such a ruthless character, he wisely chose to shut up.
.
"Then... in order to compensate everyone present, all purchases tonight will be free of charge."
Aaron looked up at the drunkards and announced loudly.
"Thank you boss!"
"Long live the boss!"
Many half-drunk drunkards who were not frightened originally, but now they heard that there was additional compensation, they howled with excitement.
Aaron slowly packed up the double-barreled shotgun and carefully kept the colorful flag with 'Happy New Year' written on it.
Karl came to the bar like a normal person, put his elbows on the table and said casually: "The magician is a guy who is not easy to mess with. He has committed countless crimes in Pulmouth, but has never been arrested. This leaves Momora Field helpless.
, the investigation bureau needs to offer a large reward, but they have been unable to find clues..."
"Not really."
Aaron acted helpless and returned to the wine cellar with the flag.
Seeing William who was still working hard, he couldn't help but nodded with a satisfied expression.
"Boss..." William looked worried: "I heard gunshots just now. Was it the Blood of Decline? Or was it someone from the Desire Sect?"
Aaron had already told William the truth about Isabette.
"I don't know..." Aaron replied, throwing out a gold pound.
After a long silence, William said: "Boss, why don't you fire me..."
He felt that nothing was good without reason in the world, and his boss had helped him too much, and now because of him, he had successively gotten into trouble with two terrifying mysterious organizations, the Blood of Decline and the Soul Sect.
If he was a slightly rational Extraordinary, he would have been thrown out long ago.
William felt ashamed and didn't want to cause any more trouble to the bar.
"Your guess makes sense... This magician had no grudge against our bar before, but he suddenly came to tease us and make things worse. He seems to have some other intentions..."
Aaron described what just happened, looked at William and asked, "What do you think he wants to do?"
William thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Sorry, sir, I really can't think of it."
"Then let me tell you..." Aaron chuckled and said some information: "After the contact just now, I am sure that the magician is a pure path of 'shadow', and the third essence is extraordinary.
"...'Shadow' is a symbol of the spiritual world and illusion. Extraordinary people who follow this path can not only easily enter the dream world at a low level of essence, but also often master powerful illusion abilities."
"At the same time, because of their interaction with the spirit world and another hidden symbol, they also have good divination abilities."
Speaking of this, Aaron couldn't help but think of the last believer from another continent he met before the world was destroyed. The other person truly understood the essence of the nature of 'shadow', involving the mysterious symbol of small hope.
To be able to find hope and the light of salvation in the vast ocean is indeed quite extraordinary in the way of divination.
"It turns out that the magician is an extraordinary person of 'shadow'!" William suddenly realized.
"And...the other party has created multiple cases to attract attention, which can be regarded as creating an influence. The non-human existence of the fourth essence was also called the destined person in ancient times. He wants to open the fourth essence [vitality]
】, you also need to complete certain specific tasks and collect enough influence. Of course, according to my research, it is not impossible not to do this. But if there is no ceremony, this kind of promotion will become more difficult... The probability of failure will only increase.
.”
"So... Copperfield did it for his ceremony?" William asked in surprise.
"It's very possible, so I'm very much looking forward to it... looking forward to his success!"
Aaron smiled and touched the colorful flag in his hand, and said meaningfully: "The magician will give me a better gift."
…
In a sewer somewhere.
The magician Copperfield stood quietly in a clean white suit.
Opposite him, in a dark corridor, two scarlet lights suddenly lit up.
The light kept getting closer and turned into a pair of greedy and bloodthirsty eyes. It was an evil believer in black robes, holding a pendant composed of thorns and a red figure in his hand.
The other party is clearly an evil believer of the ‘Yuling Sect’!
Copperfield's expression remained unchanged, he came here specifically to wait for the other party.
Seeing this person arriving, he said in a calm tone: "I have followed your request and used a performance to attract attention to that bar. I also tested the relationship between the bar owner and the arson case at Baron Jacques's manor. What's the result...
…I’m not sure.”
Copperfield felt a little confused.
His performances always have feedback, and for tonight's performance, the impact of feedback was a little less than expected, and it seemed like something was missed.
Aaron would be surprised if he heard this.
Because the ‘Spirit Sect’ seems to be related to the Manor of Baron Jacques, we have been looking for clues in this regard!
"No matter what...after tonight, that bar will be finished. Is this your purpose?"
A lot of people saw tonight's performance, so it will definitely spread and reach the ears of the Investigation Bureau.
The job of the Investigation Bureau is to suppress various extraordinary phenomena. Now that something like this happened in the bar, it is impossible not to be investigated.
This can be regarded as a small revenge. After all, with the power of the "Spiritual Sect", it is very simple to find out the relationship between Isabette and William, as well as William's workplace.
And after a little reasoning, we know that William must be related to the exposure of the church, and there is a vague shadow of the Hunter Bar's involvement behind it!
"The great God of suffering watches over you..."
The evil believer in black robe said noncommittally: "But I also want to remind you that perhaps the recent actions have been too smooth and have made you inflated... This is very dangerous!"
