Chapter 703 Nightmare

Backlund West District, Intis Serenzo Restaurant.

A rented carriage stopped at the entrance of the restaurant. The door was opened. With a beautiful mustache and a stern face, Xifa, who looked like a 'Duke', got out of the car.

Behind him is the "Seer" Calvin in a black formal suit and half-height silk.

Seeing the restaurant with a luxurious decoration style, Xifa smiled and said, "How about it, do you find a little taste of your hometown?"

Calvin's eyes from Intis were slightly dazed, but then became clear again, and he smiled and said, "Actually, we don't have to travel so far to eat here."

"No, keeping a happy mood before acting is one of the factors of success."

"Take it easy, my friend." Sifa walked into the door, took off his hat, and handed it to the waiter in the red vest next to him.

Because there was no reservation, the two of Xifa could only come to a seat by the window, and could not enjoy the more private box.

Looking at the oil paintings hanging on the wall, the marble statues placed in appropriate positions, and the gold objects that can be seen everywhere, Calvin sighed softly: "It's really good here, it makes me feel like I'm back in Trier."

The waiter in the red vest smiled and said, "Is this your first time here?"

Xifa smiled and nodded: "Yes."

"Then may I have the honor to introduce the most distinctive dishes and famous wines of our restaurant to you two?" the waiter in the red vest asked unhurriedly.

Xifa nodded, "Of course."

The waiter in the red vest brought the menu and wine list. The menu written in the ancient Fusac language was the same as when Xifa visited the restaurant as the baron's son.

The waiter patiently described the famous dishes of the restaurant, including main courses, appetizers, desserts, etc., as well as wine matching.

Finally, he said graciously: "If you two don't know how to match, maybe you can choose today's chef's recommendation, and our chef will match you with a delicious and pure Intis meal. It costs 15 pounds , £10, and £8."

Considering the identities of the two of them today, Xifa leaned back slightly and said in a low-key manner: "Two copies are 8 pounds, thank you."

"Okay." The waiter in the red vest was not displeased because they chose the plan with the lowest price. He still kept smiling and put away the menu before heading to the kitchen.

Only then did Xifa casually look around, and suddenly saw a familiar figure, the well-known surgeon Alan Chris!

Opposite Allen, sat a beautiful black-haired lady who seemed to be the doctor's wife. The lady's belly was obviously swollen, and she was obviously pregnant.

Just when Xifa was hesitating whether to say hello to the doctor, Allen happened to look over, and the eyes of the two sides met. Xifa didn't hesitate any longer, put his hands on his abdomen, stood up with a smile, and walked calmly.

Allen also stood up, showing a not very obvious smile.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Allen." Xifa greeted him proactively.

"Good afternoon, duke." Realizing that 'Duke' was just a code name, Allen shut his mouth in time, and then introduced, "This is my wife, Wilma Gladys."

Xifa looked at the black-haired beauty with a smile, and for some reason, he unconsciously avoided his eyes from falling on the other's stomach: "Hello, beautiful lady."

"Hello." The doctor's wife responded with a smile, then her face changed slightly, and then she returned to normal, as if the child in her stomach had kicked her.

Allen smiled and said to his wife, "Let's go over there and have a chat."

He pointed to an empty corner.

Allen's wife nodded slightly and said with a gentle smile, "Okay."

When they walked away, Xifa saw that the lady was folding something with paper to pass the boring time before the dishes were served.

When he came to the uninhabited corner, Xifa smiled and said, "How are you doing recently?"

Allen said with a smile: "I'm fine. Since my wife became pregnant, my luck has become quite good. My career is getting better every day, and my income is getting higher every day."

"Recently, I am planning to perform an internal organ operation on a baron. If it succeeds, I will consider opening a clinic in another place."

Xifa was really happy for him, nodded and said: "Sounds very good."

Alan, who looks cold but cares about his friends in his heart, looked at Xifa and said, "What about you, I haven't seen you since I attended Talim's funeral last time. How are you recently?"

Xifa nodded slightly, and said, "I really hope I can be as lucky as you."

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just some recent events that make me feel that luck is very important." Xifa thought of Friday's assassination commission and the potion materials of Sequence 4. It can be achieved, and I can't help but feel emotional.

The two chatted for a while, and Allen's wife was waving, and it turned out that their dishes were on the table.

"Go and be with your wife, let's get together again when we have a chance." Sifa patted the doctor's arm.

"good."

When Allen walked back to his place, Xifa heard that the black-haired lady smiled and said, "Can I have an ice cream?"

"Of course, it is said that the ice cream here is quite good." Allen responded with a smile.

Xifa, who just heard it, stopped the waiter who was passing by, pointed to Alan's table and said, "Please bring them an ice cream, and besides, I will be responsible for their bill."

The Allen family finished their lunch faster than Xifa and the other two, and when it was time to check out, they found out that the bill for their table had already been bought by Xifa. The doctor thought about it and said to his wife: "Verma, can you give me Is it a thousand paper cranes?"

"Of course." The black-haired lady happily took out a paper crane that she had just folded.

Allen took it to Xifa's side, smiled and put down the paper crane and said, "My wife folded it herself. She said that the paper crane can bring good luck to everyone. I hope it can help you."

After thanking Xifa for his generosity in his own way, the doctor patted Xifa on the shoulder and left.

Xifa looked at the paper crane in front of him, smiled, and put it in his pocket.

In a daze, Sifa suddenly woke up and realized that he was dreaming.

Moreover, the dream seemed to be invaded by external forces, and Xifa saw that he was in a barren plain, full of dark stones, not even a single weed.

In the middle of the plain, Sifa saw a black spire, and the spirituality reminded Sifa that something was waiting for him in that spire.

But Xifa didn't dare to explore. He tried every means to wake himself up, but after all failed, he suddenly found that he had arrived at the gate of the pitch-black spire at some point.

"Does this mean you won't let me go if you don't go in?"

Xifa could only bite the bullet, pushed open an old and decayed wooden door, and came to the inside of the tower. The layout here was extremely chaotic, and it could kill obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Those stairs first spiral upwards, and then suddenly fall obliquely. As for the hall, library and various rooms in the tower, they are either normal or upside down, or inlaid and superimposed with other rooms. In short, it is like a masterpiece of an abstract painter. , or which crazy designer built it.

Xifa passed through gates and rooms, and he didn't know how long he had walked, let alone where he was in the tower. He couldn't tell whether he had reached the spire or entered the basement.

But when he stopped, the spirit told him that this was the depths of the black tower, which was the destination of his trip.

Xifa saw that the room was dimly lit, and right there, there were scattered Tarot cards. They surrounded the slightly raised ground in the middle, and there was a row of silver-white words inside, which formed a sentence.

'Thank you for the ice creams, they are delicious. '

'Besides, who are you? '

Xifa felt terrified all of a sudden, and his dream was also shattered. He sat up on the bed all of a sudden, collected himself, looked around, and made sure that he was in a cheap hotel in the East District.

"I had a nightmare?"

Xifa shook his head: "Maybe I've been under a lot of pressure recently, I hope I can still sleep, it's still early before dawn."

He lay back down again, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

This time, Sifa did not have any dreams and slept until dawn.

In a blink of an eye, it's Friday.

evening.

In the single room of the 'Black Cat' Hotel, Xifa threw a hooded robe to Calvin, and watched as Calvin's body rapidly became shorter, his skin gradually became whiter, and became a little wheat-colored.

Calvin's Adam's apple disappeared quickly, and his hair grew a lot and became golden.

This is the image of a friend who will participate in the party at night provided by Forsi the Magician.

After watching Calvin put on the robe and hood without showing his face, Xifa suddenly realized that the lady 'magician' was most likely her roommate, a petite woman who was 1.50 meters tall.

Normally, even Calvin of the 'Faceless Man' would have difficulty pulling his body up to a height of 1.50 meters. Fortunately, the information provided by 'Magician' Forsi said that her friend did He added a heightened camouflage, so now the 1.60-meter Cavin does not look suspicious.

"The party time is 8:00 p.m., and I will go there in advance to ambush. After you arrive, try to go to the main seat. You should know where the main seat is, right?"

In the past two days, Xifa used the 'Wraith Cane' to transform into a spirit body posture, went to the house where the party was held, and had figured out the pattern there, and perfected the entire assassination plan.

Calvin nodded, his face became more neutral and he said: "Don't worry, I have deduced it many times."

Xifa smiled and took out the 'string puppet' and handed it to him: "It seems that you are ready."

"Of course, I used to be a 'magician' after all, and magicians don't perform unprepared performances." Calvin took the magical item and put it in his pocket.

"Then I have to start to act." Xifa directly took out the 'Wraith Cane', infused with spirituality, and said in Hermes language: "Wraith."

His figure suddenly became transparent, and the twilight-like light that came from nowhere surrounded him, which made his figure suddenly rise, and the height of four meters made his head almost touch the roof.

A set of gorgeous and majestic silver-white armor quickly appeared on Xifa's body, and a ball of orange light that looked like a vertical one-eyed appeared on the visor of the crowned helmet.

Although he was in a spirit state, he felt full of flesh and blood, which made Kavin mistakenly think that he was facing a giant, but he didn't know that it was because Xifa had put the "giant card" on his body, so once he transformed into a spirit body, he would directly" Transform'.

"I'm leaving." Xifa used the invisibility ability of the spirit body to make his figure seem to blend into the environment, into the sunset shining through the window, and the whole person disappeared, including his aura.

After disappearing, Xifa floated out of the hotel and came to the alley of the East District, near the house where Mr. X held the Extraordinary party.

There are still about three hours before the Extraordinary party, and no one has arrived here. Xifa directly passed through the wall in the form of a spirit body, and entered the living room where the party was held at night.

Miss 'Magician' had provided information about the gathering, which prevented Xifa from making a mistake about the meeting place. He first looked around and took a panoramic view of the randomly placed tables and seats.

There are many copper candle holders, smooth enough to reflect the surroundings.

There are still a few mirrors hanging on the wall. Although they are generally cracked, they have not lost their function.

Xifa, who had already stepped on it many times, jumped into a mirror on the wall without any hesitation, and kept himself invisible in the mirror.

This mirror is the closest to the main seat!

In the mirror, Xifa can directly see the party caller, Mr. X from the Aurora Society!

While waiting patiently, time passed bit by bit, and soon it was time for the party to start. Participants who were dressed up to conceal their identities arrived one after another and entered the hall.

At this time, Calvin, who was wearing a hood, also came outside the dilapidated house. He bent his fingers and knocked on the door with three light and three heavy strengths, and two long and three short intervals.

About ten seconds later, the door opened, and a waiter wearing an iron mask in the room looked at Calvin. The latter didn't panic at all. Seeing the waiter get out of the way, the 'Seer' entered the room calmly and followed the waiter calmly. pass by.

When walking through the hall, Calvin was touched by inspiration and felt invisible eyes cast on him. He kept moving into the living room in front, looked around, and found a place closer to the main seat. sit down.

At the same time, Xifa had already seen Cavin in the mirror, and saw clearly the positions of the participants in the living room.

When the last participant entered and sat down, the party organizer finally walked in. As described by Ms. Magician, Mr. X is of medium build, about 1.75 meters tall.

Like other participants, he was wearing a black classical robe and a pointed hat. He looked like a magician walking in the countryside, with a brass mask on his face, with a simple and mysterious temperament.

His complexion is darker to brown, and his hair is black and slightly curly, like a person from the Fenepotdisi Bay area.

As Xifa, who is also from Dixi Bay, the above thoughts naturally surfaced, and then I heard Mr. X smile: "Let's start."
