Chapter 194 Meeting

Alger said in the last tarot meeting that he could find the "horn of the black snake with flash patterns". Unexpectedly, this gentleman was quite efficient, and he had successfully obtained it just on Thursday.

Abner received the message conveyed by Mr. Fool before dinner, and then held a ceremony of "accepting the gift" to receive the materials.

Xio looked at the black sharp corners that seemed to have electric current flashing faintly in front of him. He pursed his lips, but did not refuse. Instead, he put it away and asked, "How much did it cost?"

Abner knew Hugh's temperament, so he neither pretended to be generous nor took the opportunity to increase the price. He only replied honestly: "700 gold pounds."

Speaking of which, Abner did not hold another "sacrifice" ceremony to send the money to Alger, but instead deducted the reward from "The Laughter" Langman and part of the "Wind Blessed One" formula quotation. After all, currently The cost of holding a ceremony is not low, so save as much as you can.

"I will raise enough money for you as soon as possible." Xio nodded and said seriously.

"There's no need to be in such a hurry..." Abner shook his head with a smile and asked casually, "How is your 'sheriff''s digestion?"

Xiu thought for a while and replied: "It should be digested in four or five days."

"So fast?" Abner was a little surprised. He remembered that Hugh became the "sheriff" when he was in East Chester County, and it has been a month at most...

Hugh is like this, Jane is like this, only Itris is more normal...

"After I learned about the acting method, I actively maintained order in the East District and successfully prevented many criminal acts that I identified, so I received a lot of feedback."

Does it turn out that the core of the role of a ‘sheriff’ is to actively eliminate behaviors that one considers to be disruptive to order?

Abner nodded thoughtfully.

After that, Xio recounted what he saw at Mr. A's party, and finally said: "Prepare a room for me. I will stay with you today."

"What?"

"It's too late, the subway is out of service."

…

Tingen, 2 Daffodil Street.

At eleven o'clock at night, Klein and his brother and sister said good night to each other, and then returned to his bedroom again.

He sealed the room with his spirituality, then walked four steps backwards and arrived at the ancient palace above the gray mist.

Sitting in the seat belonging to "The Fool," Klein used his spirituality to touch a star wrapped with golden light. It was a crimson star that symbolized Xio.

Previously, when he helped "The Hanged Man" give the "Flash Black Snake's Horn" to the "Tower", he saw the golden light shining on it. Knowing that it was the "Tower", he held an exorcism ceremony for a girl named Xiu. , the "passage" was reinforced again, but he didn't have time to look carefully at that time, so he could only watch the "video" back and forth in the dead of night.

Then, he witnessed the petite Ms. Xio leaving a magnificent garden villa after the exorcism ceremony, and then went to the East District of Backlund to deal with various disputes among ordinary people, and track down the "those who destroyed the order she established" "Crime", in just one afternoon, she successfully prevented a potentially vicious crime and saved the lives of two families...

The "video" lasted until she was going to meet up with a friend in Queens, and then together they were waiting for a young lady named Audrey to attend an extraordinary party.

But just as Xio was about to arrive at the target building in Queens, the scene stopped abruptly.

It's broken again... Klein sighed helplessly, then tapped the edge of the ancient long table with his fingers, and thought seriously:

"Judging from this 'video', Miss Xio is a person with a strong sense of justice and very principled behavior! No wonder Mr. Tower trusts her so much and calls her a 'reliable' person... It seems And it's not just because of their close relationship.

"In addition, Miss Xio has a very wide network of contacts in Backlund East District and the dock area, and is deeply trusted by the people in her 'jurisdiction'. Whether they are ordinary workers or gangsters, as long as they are not the kind of extremely vicious people, they will encounter difficulties. I am willing to let her arbitrate everything...

“Finally, although it is not shown in this ‘video’, this young lady probably has an official background, otherwise her many slightly out-of-touch behaviors might have already attracted police intervention.

"Well, she abides by principles, is kind-hearted, is not high-ranking, and has her own intelligence and resource circle... Generally speaking, this young lady is indeed a good candidate to be a member of the Tarot Club...

"After I advance to Sequence 8, I can consider dragging her into the gray mist... Of course, the premise is that she is willing."

Thinking of this, Klein wrote a new divination sentence on the parchment he materialized:

"Miss Hugh's joining the Tarot Society will bring danger to me."

Putting down the pen, he untied the pendulum from his wrist, held it firmly with his left hand, and let the citrine pendant hang just where it was about to touch the parchment.

After reciting silently seven times, his eyes darkened, and the pendulum in his hand began to rotate slightly, counterclockwise.

The answer is no, it won't...

Klein nodded, and then he realized that it was already very late, so he hurriedly left the palace on the gray mist and "returned" to his bedroom.

He lifted the spiritual blockade, then stood in front of the desk, looking out the orifice window under the light of the gas lamp. At this time, the nearby neighborhood was dark, with only a few streetlights guiding the direction, and the stars in the sky were embedded in the black On the curtain, bit by bit, it is not clear.

"It turns out that Backlund, known as the 'Land of Hope' and the 'Capital of Ten Thousand Capitals', also looks like that... I thought only Tingen had a lower street... From Miss Xio's perspective, you can see the East Side of Backlund The people in some areas are worse than the lower streets of Tingen!" Klein whispered silently, stretched out his hand to hold the curtain, and prepared to pull it.

Woo!

At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew by without warning, and his bedroom window opened on its own.

Klein subconsciously took a few steps back, tapping his left teeth twice with a professional instinct. At the same time, he leaned against the head of the bed and tried to get the pistol pressed under the pillow.

But at this moment, a slim lady suddenly jumped in from the window with the help of a special spirit body. She was wearing blue eye shadow and blush, showing a kind of enchanting beauty.

It was Ms. Daly whom Klein had just met this afternoon at the Blackthorn Security Company.

"Don't be so enthusiastic, I can't bear your bullets." Ms. Dai Li looked at the black muzzle of the gun and said with a smile.

"Ms. Daly?" Why did you come to my place so late at night? Klein asked dumbfounded. However, he did not relax his vigilance, because it was possible that someone else was pretending to be Dai Li.

"It's me... I know that such a visit is too rough, and I should give you some hints to make you fully prepared... But, I actually did it on the spur of the moment and had no choice but to do so." Ms. Dai Li replied with a smile.

Although it still felt unbelievable, it was indeed Ms. Dai Li’s speaking style... Klein secretly cursed and asked without lowering his gun:

"Ma'am, what are you doing here for me?"

"If I were you, I would seal the bedroom with my spirit first. Otherwise, your family might have some misunderstandings when they see me in your bedroom at this time." Dai Li glanced in the direction of the door and smiled. joked,
