At four o'clock in the afternoon, Forsi had not had time to change out of his pajamas and climbed out of bed with difficulty.
Before the tarot meeting, she and Xio went back to their rooms. Unlike Xio, who was sure to sit down at the desk, Forsi decisively chose to lie on the bed without a quilt.
One thing to say, this new quilt is so comfortable, I feel a little sleepy again... Forsi turned around and allowed himself to subconsciously ignore the fact that the new book had not been updated yet and threw it to the back of his mind.
"Forsi, just now..." There was a gentle knock on the ajar door, and the blond and frizzy Xio turned her face to the side in a rare move. She made sure that Forsi still had the same blank expression as when she first got up in the afternoon, and then hesitated.
Then walked in.
"What's going on? Don't worry about calling me by my name. I'm not Miss Justice. I'm the 'audience' who can read minds." Forsi covered his yawn with his left hand, then looked at the surface of the quilt to himself.
Hua Wen murmured in a low voice:
"No, Miss Justice is only at Sequence 7, so she can't really read minds."
Listening to her friend's nonsensical words, Xio frowned and said like a muscle reflex:
"Actually, sequence eight of 'audience' is 'mind reader'."
Glancing down at the knight uniform he had just changed into, it was generally quite clean. Xio simply sat beside Forsi's bed, despite the other's surprised expression, and stared at the pale blue with his dark green eyes, as if
Looking for something.
"Why did you tell the Sun that you could use one of the main ingredients of the Sheriff to pay for the formula of the Sun Priest?"
Her long, slightly curly brown hair hangs down by her hands. Forsi, who was looked at by her friends and looked a little confused, did not have the erratic look in her eyes. Instead, she calmly pressed Xio back to the bed with both hands, and said in an indifferent tone:
"I don't need any extraordinary items anyway..."
"Then you can ask him to help you find extraordinary weapons. Silver City has been fighting monsters all year round, so it shouldn't be difficult to find weapons suitable for you." Xiu looked determined and pressed forward step by step.
Forsi was choked again and his breath stagnated. Then he suddenly exerted his strength and refuted his friend's point of view in a clear and coherent manner.
"But do you think I'm the type to go out often?"
"Which one of us do you think is more likely to be in danger?"
"I still have this bracelet. What do you have? Your three-edged blade?"
A set of combo punches had already stunned Forsi, who was stunned by Xiu Wen. He quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Then he was afraid that his friend would react, so he added more force and started to induce him.
"Look, I have found the recipe for Sequence 8. If I'm lucky, I can get the ingredients together, and you won't be in much danger. But you are still Sequence 9. You are often in the East District and you are easily in danger. Obviously you are better than me at this time.
It is even more necessary to enhance the power of self-protection.”
"And even if I do exchange it for an extraordinary item, I still need to consider the negative effects. Why not give you a copy of the main material as a favor, in exchange for a free bodyguard, and there is no need to consider communication and negative effects. This is not as good as
Extraordinary items?"
After tentatively stroking Xio's hair, Forsi walked out of bed with satisfaction, dragging his slippers and about to walk out of the room.
"But I don't have enough money now."
Xio, who had just reacted, turned his head. The stubborn hair on his head bounced, attracting most of Forsi's attention.
But this is indeed a problem... Forsi thought for a moment, hesitated for a few seconds, and suggested:
"Perhaps you can try to contact the man with the gold mask. Anyway, tonight is Mr. A's party. I can lend you the remaining money, which should be enough to buy a main material."
Seeing that his friend was still hesitant, Forsi stretched out a finger and gave another important reason for doing so.
"Don't worry too much. Have you forgotten? The Aurora Society is in a sense a subordinate of Mr. Fool, as well as the demigod who passed by last time. Even if the unidentified golden mask has any conspiracy, it's not his turn.
Let us handle it."
Listening to his friend's cautious analysis, Xio temporarily suppressed the last trace of hesitation and fear in his heart, nodded slightly, and finally agreed to the proposal.
Phew...Seeing Xio nod inconspicuously, Forsi, who knew his friend's character well, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled gently.
"Okay, what's for dinner tonight?"
"I think we can prepare in advance."
........
Backlund, 17 Minsk Street.
In the bedroom on the second floor, Klein, who had just finished the Tarot session and was a little spiritually weak, stretched out and slowly stood up from the chair.
Next time, should I try to host a Tarot session in the living room? The chair in the bedroom is too hard, my waist... On the wooden stairs, Klein rubbed his lower back with his right hand, relaxing it.
Stepping down, feeling the relief of stretching the bones, the silent spiritual intuition suddenly became tense.
He felt a hint of coldness.
In front of the stairs on the first floor, Klein immediately activated the "substitute" and then cautiously pressed against the wall, blocking his right hand behind his back.
Slowly looking around the air in front of me, I saw several illusory spiritual threads spreading from irregular outlines, hanging there empty.
Klein, who was slightly nervous, suddenly froze for a moment. After realizing something, he lowered his right hand behind his back slightly stiffly and awkwardly asked into the air in front of him:
"Miss Sharon?"
In the living room that lacks light, the dark sky ripples, and different colors gradually fill the transparency. The pale golden hair hangs beside the pale and delicate face, and there is not much emotion in the blue eyes.
Sharon, who was hanging in mid-air, first held up her complicated palace skirt and bowed, and then said with precious words:
"cooperate."
cooperate?
Haven't we already signed the notarization?
Seeing that Klein didn't fully understand what she meant, Sharon glanced at him up and down, and finally her eyes stopped on the right hand that was still hanging around her waist.
"Maric wants to know if you're ready."
Following Miss Sharon's gaze, he found that his hand was still in an extremely awkward position, and Klein gave it a soft squeeze.
Although he and Ms. Sharon should have noticed the essence of the sealed item "Substitute", when thinking about what he had just done, Klein was still quite embarrassed and rubbed his face covered with a human skin mask a few times.
.
My true appearance has never been exposed to Ms. Sharon, and she probably would not have gone upstairs without permission to notice the abnormalities in the real world when I was hosting the Tarot session. At most, she just watched me walking down the stairs holding my waist.
"I'm ready." Klein looked serious, then glanced in the opposite direction outside the window, "Have the pursuers of the 'Sexualist' faction arrived already?"
"No."
Sharon, who was in mid-air, denied Klein's guess, but she nodded very restrainedly.
"But the ambush should be in these two days."
Klein considered the items in his hands and slowly exhaled.
"If that's the case, I'll need extra preparation."
Including extraordinary weapons, I do not lack attack methods, but I lack means that can directly restrain the "resentful soul"... Suddenly, Klein paused, and then looked at the silent, ready-made doll in front of him.
The "resentful soul" hesitated again and again, and finally said:
"Do the black flames of the 'Witch' and the curse of the 'Devil' have an effect on the spirit body of the 'Resentful Soul'?"
Sharon was silent for a second or two, and her emotionless eyes slowly passed over Klein's upper body. It wasn't until the "divineer" looking across from him felt a touch of coldness that she said in a voice without any fluctuation:
"Yes, but the level is not enough. It is better to use the spiritual body thread."
What Miss Sharon means is that although it can cause damage, the damage is not enough. Why not use the spiritual thread like Rosago to suppress the "resentful soul" of the "Indulgence Faction" at the critical moment?
“The most suitable items to deal with ‘revengeful souls’ and ‘demon’ are the items from the ‘sun’ pathway.”
Slightly beyond Klein's expectation, Sharon took the initiative to supplement the previous question.
"I understand." Klein nodded, his expression becoming much more serious at the same time.
"If the ambush time is determined, please tell me in advance."
Sharon in the air nodded slightly, and then her figure returned to transparency and blended into the background behind her. Soon, in the line of sight of the spirit body, Klein could no longer see the face of this "Wraith Spirit" lady.
figure.

Minsk 13.
In front of the floor-length mirror with some red paint peeling off the frame, Louis Yinwensi slowly took off the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. His dull eyes gradually faded to dark gray, becoming darker, and his hairline receded little by little.
A centimeter later, the traces of time reappeared on the cheeks that were no longer young, and the young detective from a wealthy family once again transformed into the "dead" Dunn Smith.
"When was the last time I was promoted?"
No one in the empty room paid attention to Dunn's soliloquy. This former Nighthawk who had not been promoted for a long time and could now catch up with someone was just a little nervous like a newcomer.
When he didn't get a response, Dunn's gray depth couldn't help but become a lot darker.
Although his ability to devour dead teammates made him unable to digest potions well, he also gained some other benefits. For example, in such tense moments of decision-making, the voices of the deceased would still appear in his ears.
Guide him to the right path.
After playing the role of a young man for a long time, Dunn recently felt as if his mind had really become much younger, and he looked at the potion he had just gathered in the mirror.
Ever since His Highness Edmund gave himself the "Requiem Master" potion as a reward, he has used Louis Yin Wensi's small and abundant treasury and Backlund's developed underground Beyonder gathering industry to gather together.
The two most important main materials have been gathered together.
The sunlight outside the window became darker and darker, and darkness spread from the corners of the room, gradually swallowing up the few lights.
After taking a few deep breaths, Dunn closed his eyes. The darkness that was eating away at the last glimmer of light suddenly boiled, and he pounced on it with bared teeth and claws.
The waves of darkness rose and fell joyfully, and illusory threads spread from the upside-down ocean, swimming to the ground like branches growing in reverse directions, and converged from different directions towards Dunn standing in the middle.
The shadow threads that swayed like snakes surrounded the source of spreading spirituality. Dunn in the middle opened his eyes, not seeing the confusion in them, and decisively drank the potion in his hand.
The surrounding darkness suddenly surged, then stopped at its climax. Slowly and softly, it joined together and embraced Dunn. The darkness connected by hazy threads was like the softest velvet, covering his figure.
The ethereal and illusive singing echoed in the lonely empty house. As the second hand jumped slightly, this soft darkness returned to the surface, like the most ordinary shadow, crawling and waiting for the call.
"Crimson."
The deep and mellow voice broke the silence, and the surrounding darkness suddenly shrank. Dunn's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of black gauze, and he looked in the direction where he had just been inspired.
In my perception, I happened to see a trace of transparency flying out of Minsk No. 17.
Silent, Dunn stared at the neighbor whom he had always been wary of, his slightly frown deepening a little bit.
