Chapter 120 The Stalker

On the outskirts of the North District, in the three-story teaching building of the medical school that was about to be abandoned.

Even though it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, the mist and stratus clouds had already made the whole of Backlund gloomy and gloomy, as if a heavy rainstorm was about to come.

In the dilapidated corridor, the gloomy and cold light shone obliquely, penetrating through the windows, making everything look silent, devastated, and eerie.

This is the second time Audrey has come here, she is no longer as uneasy and tense as before. Wearing a surgical cap and a large mask, she turns her head slightly from side to side, habitually observing the environment and every detail here .

Viscount Grelint walked beside him, gradually getting a little scared, and couldn't help lowering his voice:

"Why does it feel a bit weird here..."

"Will there be ghosts and ghosts?"

As a occultist with only half a foot in the circle, the only extraordinary phenomena he has ever seen are Forsi's passing through walls and opening doors, and he is not sure whether the shadow of resentful souls really exists.

But this does not prevent him from being afraid of similar monsters!

Fors glanced at him sideways, and said with a smile:

"Most of the party participants are Extraordinary. If there are evil ghosts and ghosts, they must be very happy. This means materials or servants."

Seeing that Viscount Greint was obviously relieved, she deliberately added:

"Of course, what I'm talking about is only the weaker kind of ghosts. The real formed ghosts may make everyone here die silently. If they want to run, they can only go back and forth between the three floors. They can't get out anyway. It's like entering a maze."

Xio nodded in approval:

"I have encountered similar resentful souls before, and they couldn't escape after walking around the cemetery for several times. During this process, some people kept turning back inexplicably, and then died suddenly. If it wasn't for a Extraordinary who carried the 'Sun Charm', maybe You won't see me today."

Viscount Grelint shuddered, and quickly turned his head to look out the window. At this moment, a withered branch happened to hit the glass under the blowing of the cold wind, making a soft sound.

Grelint almost yelled, and moved closer to Fors and Xio, two Extraordinary beings in a panic.

Audrey held back the smile that was approaching her lips,

Watching this scene quietly, I thought in my heart:

I have seen Mister Fool who is almost a god, I know the City of Silver in the Land Abandoned by God, and I have heard of all kinds of terrifying monsters in the dark depths, what ghosts and shadows are I afraid of?

But... I really haven't really met a ghost, bah! Audrey, what are you thinking? It's better not to encounter this kind of thing casually!

Unless I have become a "psychologist", possess extraordinary abilities to influence other creatures, or obtain a magical item that restrains ghost monsters...

The group of four couldn't help speeding up their pace and quickly arrived at today's meeting place.

Before entering the door, Fors took a chance, bent her back slightly, leaned into Xio's ear and said:

"You cooperated well just now, and it's scary to be able to make up a story so quickly."

"Look at the place Viscount Greint is not covered by the mask, it's so white that you can hardly see other colors."

Xio turned his head and replied in a slightly dazed manner:

"I didn't make up a story."

"That's what happened to me before I came to Backlund."

"..." Forsi was stunned for a moment, then blurted out and asked, "Is that true?"

"What's so deceiving?" Xio's puzzled face was covered by the mask.

Forsi turned her head, looked forward and took two steps, and suddenly trembled.

At this time, Grelint, who no longer wanted to stay in the eerie corridor for a long time, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the meeting place.

As the creaking sound echoed, what caught his eyes was the ground made of cement, and what came into his nose was the frowning smell of preservatives.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a larger pool in the center, which was filled with a transparent yellowish liquid, and one figure after another was floating.

Those figures were all completely naked, some were relatively complete, while others had half of their skin peeled off, showing a tan like beef jerky.

These are corpses!

"what!"

A screaming male voice echoed in the room.

All eyes turned to Grelint.

These gazes all came from figures in white coats surrounding the pool. They also wore surgical caps and large masks, with only their eyes and some skin exposed.

Grelint shook his body and wanted to turn his head and run away, but he saw Audrey, Fors and Xio passing by him as if nothing happened, and walked in, pretending not to be like the companions who came here together .

Taking a breath, Grelint almost felt nauseous.

He looked back outside, only to see the corridor was dark and cold, with vague shadows, and there was no living person in sight.

Shivering again, Grelin quickly quickened his pace, caught up with Audrey and the others, and found a place farthest from the pool to sit down.

After a few minutes, a figure in a white coat came out, pulled a corpse aside with a wooden pole with a hook beside the pool, and directly grabbed the corpse, dragging it to the concrete floor.

He paused for two or three seconds, took out a scalpel, and opened the abdomen of the corpse.

As the wound deepened, a cold and hoarse voice suddenly came from inside:

"The party begins."

... Grelint reached out to press the mask on his face, his throat wriggled a few times, and he almost vomited.

With the success or failure of various transactions, the party entered the middle, and Audrey, who had been observing calmly, finally spoke:

"I want the 'spectator' potion formula."

Before she finished speaking, she immediately felt several gazes sweeping towards her, but they quickly moved away without stopping.

After tens of seconds of silence, the transaction was aborted.

…………

It was around four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was getting closer to night.

"How can there be nothing..." Grelint did not maintain his aristocratic demeanor, and leaned slightly limply on the wooden boards of the carriage, sighing in a low voice.

This Extraordinary gathering left a deep impression on him, making him feel that he had taken a great risk.

But even so, he still couldn't buy the horn of an adult Pegasus or the venom crystals of a crown jellyfish.

Forsi pursed her lips secretly and said:

"This is normal. Although Backlund is the easiest place to get materials, if you can't participate in every Extraordinary gathering, you will also be unable to find the items you want for a long time. This requires either luck or patience. .”

"Look, Mr. Viscount, there is still no clue about the 'spectator' formula Miss Audrey wants."

Sometimes, it's because you meet someone but don't have the money to buy them... Xio, who was sitting next to her, thought helplessly.

Audrey comforted Grelint:

"When I go back, I will search in my treasure house, maybe there is something you want."

She brought the pituitary gland of the colorful lizard dragon today, but did not encounter the spinal fluid of the Falsman rabbit, so she only exchanged 320 pounds in cash—this was for Susie's promotion.

Grayling nodded his head, and was about to speak when he suddenly saw Xio sitting up straight, frowning slightly and said:

"It looks like someone is following us!"

"I trust your intuition, what should I do now?" Forsi asked, looking around.

Follow us? What do we have to keep track of? We just sold one Extraordinary item and got a few hundred pounds in cash. Even if someone wanted to rob us, we shouldn’t be the top targets… Although Grelint acted like a rookie, we didn’t… and The organizer of the party did a lot of things to ensure the safety of the members and prevent anyone from being followed, unless, besides, he was the one who sent someone to follow! Everything was normal last time, um, what's the difference between the two times... Audrey's thoughts turned, and she suddenly had an idea:

Perhaps it was my behavior of begging for the "spectator" formula that attracted the attention of the Psychological Alchemists.

It is impossible for them to sell the "audience" formula at will, and the follow-up must be to attract people into the club.

And attracting people into the guild was not a simple matter, one had to be on guard against the other party being a quasi-Nighthawk, quasi-punisher, or spies sent by other hidden forces.

If you don't observe the target, don't conduct an inspection, the organization will be wiped out soon!

After pondering for a few seconds, Audrey said to Forsi and the others:

"Be prepared to be attacked."

"Pretend you didn't spot the stalker."

"If you can return to Queens smoothly, don't care about the exposure of my identity and Grelint's, you must leave in secret."

Her emerald green eyes swept over Greint, and added with a slight smile:

"We are occult enthusiasts known to many people. It is normal to find opportunities to participate in extraordinary gatherings. Even if we are following official extraordinary people, we will not suspect anything, because we are all just ordinary people, so at most they will pass other A word or two of warning from the channel.”

But I'm already at Sequence 8... Huh, in order to get in touch with the Psychological Alchemy Association, I have to take a little risk... The official Extraordinary should not follow me who is just asking for the formula, and there should be no way to bypass the party organizer and follow us , I have to trust my own judgment! Audrey cheered herself up in her heart.

"Okay." Viscount Greint muttered and agreed.

The carriage moved forward as usual and circled several times. In the end, Audrey and the others replaced one as scheduled.

During this process, the stalkers never launched an attack.

When they arrived at the back door of Viscount Glaint's mansion in Queens, the two nobles returned in the normal way, while Forsi and Xio left by their own skills.

After more than ten minutes, Audrey took Susie, the golden retriever dog, and the accompanying maids, in their own carriage, and left through the main entrance without any cover.

Listening to the sound of the wheels rolling, she couldn't confirm whether there were any stalkers, so she could only let her thoughts go:

It is obviously impossible for Earl Hall's daughter to be a spy for any extraordinary force...

There is nothing wrong with her past...

It is well known that she is fond of the occult...

Her identity and status can bring help different from others...

Maybe, a member of the Psychological Alchemy Association will try to contact me in two days... Audrey was a little expectant, but also a little nervous thinking.

…………

He said he needed to prepare, but Klein spent two days in the Kragg Club as if nothing had happened. He even played a card game with the equestrian teacher Talim and others, and won a few soli.

Before going to bed, he didn't forget to take a look outside Lawyer Jurgen's house to see if there was a light and if he wanted to feed the cat.

At eight o'clock on Friday night, he put on the iron mask, put on the black robe with a hood, and entered the living room of the old Mr. "Eye of Wisdom".
