"'Vice Admiral Hurricane' Qilingos, one of the seven pirate generals?"
Not only Audrey, but also Klein, who was sitting at the head of the long bronze table, could barely keep his expression. Except for the little "sun" who was in the "land abandoned by the gods" and was excluded from the "service area". ”, everyone else has heard of similar names more or less.
According to the intelligence within the Nighthawks, every pirate general is an extremely dangerous existence. But now, the "Hanged Man" says that he has infiltrated Backlund!
How did he sneak in? There is no way that the whereabouts of such a dangerous person would not be noticed by the authorities? Klein thought secretly.
If it is true, I can't even report this information to the captain. How can I, a night watcher in an inland city, accurately grasp the information about the "Pirate General"!
"Forget it, let nature take its course, I don't have to worry about everything..." Klein decided to give up his thoughts on this matter and instead wanted to see the reaction of "Justice".
Audrey has recovered from her slight loss of composure and returned to the "audience" state. Although she is curious about what the sealed artifact is, she does not want to reveal her attitude quickly.
After becoming an Extraordinary and participating in many various "gatherings" and activities as an "audience", she has become very clear about how stupid her innocent behavior in front of the "Hanged Man" was.
Seeing that "Justice" didn't answer, Alger made the whole party feel a little cold for a moment. He immediately turned his head and looked at Klein and said:
"Mr. Fool, can I ask your beloved to provide necessary help? I will pay you the equivalent of this."
Beloved, I don’t have any Beloved... While using complaints to relieve his embarrassment, Klein shook his head slightly and said perfunctorily with a smile:
"My Beloved is currently chasing another more dangerous target. I will spread this mission. If any Beloved happens to be in Backlund, your wish may come true."
"I will obey your will." Seeing that there was no progress, Alger could only look away with half disappointment and half expectation.
Audrey looked at the "Hanged Man" who was begging Mr. Fool to no avail, and asked eagerly:
"What's so special about Qilingos's sealed object that can use other abilities?"
She had just carefully weighed the pros and cons against her own resources and abilities, and discovered that she had good investigative capabilities in Backlund.
First of all, she can use her father's power and her reputation to use a lot of resources in the upper class circles.
Secondly, the two Extraordinary friends she recently met also have their own circles. As a former doctor and now a well-known writer, Fors knows many people in the middle class; and as an "arbiter", Hugh Dee Ercha is a well-known mediator in the East District of Backlund. He is well-spoken in both the working class and gang organizations, and can obtain information that is easily overlooked through hidden channels.
From this point of view, she alone can access the information sources of almost all classes of people in Backlund. Coupled with the other Beyonders that Xio and Forsi know and the "party" they have joined, it may not be impossible for her to Try it and accept "The Hanged Man"'s request to investigate Qilingos.
When "The Hanged Man" saw "Justice" suddenly becoming more positive, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and answered her question without any hesitation:
"It is a bloody and evil sealed object. Because it combines the abilities of multiple sequences, it is impossible to determine which path it belongs to, but those who are familiar with Qilingos know that he is called 'The Creeping Hunger'.
A glove-shaped sealed object that feeds on living people."
"If you want to conduct an investigation, you can try to pay attention to Backlund's disappearance case." Speaking of this, Alger seemed to have thought of something, and there was a familiar sarcasm in his words, "If he has entered the East District, then
This piece of information will be meaningless. After all, you, who are at the top, can hardly imagine how many people die every day in a factory area like this."
When Audrey heard this, she couldn't help but frowned and opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.
She then thought that if the "creeping hunger" had to be used at the cost of human life, then she would have no interest in it. She had a natural discomfort with such evil objects that thirsted for the blood and souls of living people, and was very disgusted.
.
Audrey paused and ignored the taunting "The Hanged Man" just now. Just when she was about to ask for more details, she heard the little "Sun" who had been excluded from the discussion due to geographical factors, suddenly exclaimed.
One sentence:
"shepherd!"
"shepherd?"
"Justice" and "The Hanged Man" turned their heads to the "Sun" at the same time. They were very surprised that the little "Sun" seemed to be able to guess which sequence "Creep Hungry" belonged to, but they were completely more curious than "Justice"
, "The Hanged Man" is more like I have heard a similar name before, and now I am very interested in digging out more information.
Although "Sun" couldn't help but panic because of everyone's reaction, he still told in detail all the information he knew about "Shepherd".
After several people discussed it, Alger gave up hope, but still provided Qilingos' portrait to "Justice".
Seeing that the discussion and sharing had come to an end, Klein quickly ended the meeting and cut off contact after everyone saluted.
Klein, who had determined that the "sun" could contact him normally through prayer, had already changed into formal clothes. He was going to Henry's Private Detective Agency to check the progress of the investigation on the "red chimney" he had commissioned.
............
In the East End, a neighborhood controlled by the Philip Party, outside a light yellow building where watchmakers live.
Ambrosius hid himself under the broken street sign and was looking at the crystal ball reflecting the crimson moonlight in his hand to divine her future based on the traces left on the "container of uncertain mist" on the ground.
whereabouts.
Normally speaking, a demigod would never leave very obvious traces when moving, let alone a level 0 sealed artifact of the "apprentice" path.
But judging from the traces left on the ground, she was obviously injured now, and her "roaming" method was also taken away. Therefore, she only relied on the "assassin's" own invisibility and the powerful "distortion" to barely escape.
The only person who can restrain a demigod with a level 0 sealed object in Backlund like this is Loen's "Founder" and "Judge" path sequence one "Hand of Order", William Augustus
can do!
Thinking of this, Ambrosius couldn't help but feel angry. If it weren't for the "Wind Blessed" who used the corresponding seal of the "Shepherd" yesterday to cause too many murders, the "Uncertain Mist" would distort his divination results.
, led himself in the completely opposite direction, and he could join forces with Augustus to kill that "container".
"But why do the divination results tell me that not killing the 'Wind Blessed One' is the best choice?"
Ambrosius put away the crystal ball in his hand while recalling yesterday's divination results.
He did not receive any feedback and could only determine based on Qiguang's prompts that she was still in Backlund and was now lurking somewhere.
He raised his head and looked in the direction of Thordrak Palace. Like a swarm of fireflies, the bright city lights were constantly flashing in the haze of Backlund, as if he was struggling with something.
After several struggles, Ambrosius seemed to accept his fate and whispered the honorable name of a certain being:
"The embodiment of ancient legends."
"A symbol of mystery and rebirth."
"The immortal butterfly that walks with the pure light under the seat of mystery."
"The Great Edmund Jason the Corruptor."
Accompanied by the whispered prayers in the silent night sky, bubbles suddenly appeared in the nearly solidified mud on the ground in the East District, like cocoons embedded in the mud. They absorbed the surrounding filth and continued to expand.
Suddenly, the cocoons in the mud burst one after another, and blue-purple illusory butterflies flew out. Bathed in the dim red light of the red moon, they flapped their wings and rolled up the remaining mud on the ground, combining with the light in the sky.
, intertwined into a hybrid human form.
He is composed of moonlight and night butterflies, with sticky black mud hanging on his body. The strange thing is that the black mud cannot soak through and pollute Him even once.
Ambrosius looked at the "childish" tricks of his colleague in front of him and said angrily:
"Do you have to be so 'formal' every time?"
Following His sarcasm, the illusory butterflies on the hybrid humanoid body dispersed and flew in all directions, leaving only a smiling man wearing a gorgeous formal suit and half-length light gray curly hair.
Edmund Jason smiled and said nonchalantly:
"This is just my style. I thought you had adapted to it after more than a thousand years."
"Tell me, what's the matter? If you don't encounter any big problems, you won't contact me."
............
Early the next morning, Klein walked on Zotraland Road with his head down, recalling Ms. Daly's late-night visit last night.
Maybe I can really summon myself according to the method taught by Ms. Dai Li?
But what if that gray mist is really alive, then who exactly did I summon?
However, after such a long time, it has not had any changes since the "Eternal Blazing Sun" divination. It was probably just a stress reaction before. I can collect some knowledge about summoning and then summon myself when I am confident.
.....
"Ha, it looks like Yu-Gi-Oh!"
Klein couldn't help but smile, and immediately straightened up, regaining his serious expression. He had already reached the door of No. 36 Zotland Street.
He promised Ms. Dai Li yesterday that he would secretly hand over the "acting method" to the captain. Klein took a deep breath, gently opened the door, and after greeting Roxanne, he walked directly to the partition.
Knocked on the door of the captain's office.
"Please come in." Dunn's rich voice came out.
As soon as Klein walked in, he saw that the captain had sat up straight, picked up his coat in his hand, and looked like he was about to solve the problem.
Klein couldn't help but be startled when he saw this, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
I'm not a "matter person"... He complained in Chinese in his mind and immediately got down to business:
