Chapter 169 The Grand Thief

In the Jowood district, in the house that Xio and Forsi rented.

Forsi had just finalized the beginning of the new book, and was in a good mood to reward herself with a cigarette, but at this time, Xio pushed the door and entered the study.

"Smoking is harmful to your health." Xio sniffled.

Seeing the doubts on her face, Fors didn't argue, but instead asked:

"You seem to have encountered something?"

Xio scratched his rough blond hair, and sat down on the chair next to him:

"The person who contacted me before was the one who sold me the formula for 'Sheriff' at the party called by Mr. A.

"He gave me a relatively simple task. The initial reward was 30 pounds. I don't know if there is any hidden danger in it..."

Forsi slightly recalled:

"That person... There should be an organization behind him, but why would he want to win you over? Are you not afraid of being implicated by your IQ, leading to the complete destruction of the entire organization? You have nothing to plot against, and your appearance is barely okay , but he is too short, so one life is probably more valuable... Uh, what task?"

Xio has long been used to being hit by friends, ignored her previous words, and directly answered the latter question:

"Investigate who has inquired about Capin lately."

"Carpin? The human trafficker who should be hanged, no, should be burned at the stake?" Although Fors is not a bounty hunter, collecting materials is a writer's instinct, so she often asks Xio to tell stories and rumors.

Xio nodded: "It's him, but he's already dead, and he seems to have died more miserable."

"How did he die? Was he cut to death bit by bit by a knife?" Fors asked happily and curiously.

"That person didn't describe it in detail, maybe tomorrow's newspaper will talk about it." After thinking about it for two seconds, he said, "He only mentioned the special situation at the scene, saying that Capin's body was covered with tarot cards, and his face was covered with ' The Judgment' card and the 'Emperor' card."

"The 'Judgment' card should mean 'Judgment on Kapin, the result is the death penalty', what does the 'Emperor' card represent? The identity of the murderer, no, the hero?" Best-selling author Fors instinctively interpreted the crime. The unique setting of the place.

Suddenly, she froze for a moment.

Tarot? Dead bodies sprinkled with tarot cards? Forsi suddenly thought of the secret organization she had just joined:

Tarot Club!

Could it be one of our internal members who did it? But there is no member codenamed "Emperor"... If it is true, this is the first time I have found traces of the Tarot Society in the real world... We are not just a secret organization that only exists above the gray fog... Forsi's thoughts were churning, filled with surprises and worries.

…………

Under the guidance of the waiter, Klein entered the familiar living room.

There is still only one candle in the room, and the dim light illuminates the surroundings like a scene in a ghost story. Coupled with mysterious people in black robes and iron masks, the atmosphere is even stronger.

As soon as he stepped here, Klein suddenly had some inexplicable feelings.

He felt the flickering candle staring at him.

He thought the flames would burst open, igniting his own hair and robes.

He felt that the quietly hanging curtain behind the oriel window would suddenly swing up, envelop his body, cover his mouth and nose for breathing, and forcibly suffocate himself.

what's the situation? Klein was stunned for a while and tensed up.

This is not a premonition of danger, but it is an unavoidable intuition.

Klein carefully found a seat and sat down.

As soon as his butt touched the surface of the chair, he felt that the chair would burst open, and thick wooden thorns would go through his body.

This reminded him of the few videos he had seen when he was on earth—the inferior air-lift seat exploded, steel rods and fragments pierced the owner's buttocks and burrowed into the abdomen, the whole scene was bloody and horrible.

Why is there always such a bad association? Could it be the negative impact of the spiritual body injury in the previous battle? Klein looked around thoughtfully, and found that the chubby pharmacist still didn't come this time.

What happened? Or has already left Backlund? Klein said a few words to himself silently, and heard the old man "Eye of Wisdom" announce the start of the party.

In the following time, Klein sometimes felt that the chandelier on the ceiling would fall obliquely and hit him on the head; The party members are full of malice and may explode at any time.

This made him restless, vigilant and confused, and he had no intention of paying attention to various successful or aborted transactions.

If the premonition of danger is a mobile phone that vibrates occasionally to remind you of incoming news or calls, then the inexplicable intuition now is equivalent to the non-stop electric drill, which makes it difficult for me to relax and focus on other things... …Klein tried to rub his forehead, but touched the cold iron mask.

At this moment, he felt that his iron mask would suddenly sag, cling to his face, and be embedded in his brain all the time.

Is it really because the spirit body was injured and hallucinations occurred? Klein frowned.

He originally wanted to make a request to buy the brain-mutated pituitary gland and blood of the Thousand-Faced Hunter at this party, but in such a situation, he could only give up cautiously.

——Although the party organized by the old Mr. "Eye of Wisdom" is not high-level, there is a high probability that it will not involve relatively advanced monsters such as the Thousand-Faced Hunter, but Klein believes that many members here have also participated in other parties, and they may be able to Access to the corresponding information and clues.

Feeling anxious, Klein finished the gathering as a bystander.

As soon as he took off his robe, took off his mask, and left that room, the inexplicable intuition that everyone and everything would persecute him disappeared suddenly, and the weirdness disappeared!

This...Klein's pupils narrowed slightly, confirming that the phenomenon just now did not originate from the injury of the spirit body, otherwise he would not be able to have two states inside and outside.

He suspected that in the living room where the party was held, there was an invisible, insensible, and extremely terrifying person and object, so he stimulated himself who had the inspirational intuition of the "Seer" and the dangerous premonition of the "Joker", but because of the suppression of the other party Or in particular, this stimulus appears in the form of too many associations, which does not make myself alert.

Who is the one? This is too scary, just the existence itself made me react like a precursor to losing control... Klein calmly walked away from the house of the old Mr. "Eye of Wisdom", and walked towards the nearest street.

Suddenly, he had a guess:

Nearby is the "Brave Man" bar. I, Miss Sharron, and the "Wraith" Steve killed by Maric are responsible for monitoring the surrounding area...

Their death will definitely make the high-sequence powerhouse of the Rose School of thought angry, and turn their attention to this place, to the Extraordinary who is active near the "brave" bar...

Was that him just now?

Fortunately, I used items such as "Biological Toxin Bottle" and "Sun Brooch" tonight, and in order to avoid being divined, I left them on the gray fog... Otherwise, the result would be unimaginable... I just finished a game The "magician" who can't perform will die here directly...

The world of Extraordinary is really dangerous...

Inside the Holy Wind Cathedral, Cardinal Ace Snake looked at the captain of the Punisher Squad in front of him, and asked calmly with his silver eyes:

"Who is Cappin?

"Why is there an underground prison in his villa?"

The captain of the Punisher team immediately replied:

"A rich man, rumored to be related to many missing girls, he is suspected of being a human trafficker, and he is still doing the slave trade in private.

"The dungeon proves the rumor."

"Why does a human trafficker get the protection of several Extraordinary people? And the sequence is not low." Cardinal Snake asked.

"Your Excellency, this needs to be investigated. We tried to use extraordinary means to find clues, but all failed." The captain of the Punisher team replied with some trepidation.

"I tried that too." Cardinal Snake didn't blame him.

The senior member of the Church of the Storm paused and said:

"Continue to investigate this matter, and find the ghost of that Sequence 6 or Sequence 5."

After his subordinates left, Cardinal Snake picked up the pen and wrote down a few objects that need to be focused on in the notebook:

"Carpin, population trade, tarot card rituals, strange but not high-sequence ghosts, hidden plots."

…………

Queens, in the luxury villa of Earl Hall's family.

Audrey was waiting for the maid to cut the food, when she suddenly heard her father, Earl Hall, who was used to reading newspapers at breakfast, laugh:

"Cappin is dead."

"Who is he?" Audrey asked with wide eyes.

In fact, she was not at all curious about who Capin was, she simply cooperated with her father who obviously had a desire to communicate.

This is not only a daughter's specialty, but also the instinct of a "mind reader".

"A rich man who may be a human trafficker in private. He has a good relationship with some people, huh..." Earl Hall chuckled, "He was killed last night. There are obvious signs of trial at the scene. All newspapers Calling that murderer Grand Rogue, Grand Rogue 'Dark Emperor', well, this is named after the code name of the ruler of the ancient Solomon Empire."

Rogue? The Grand Thief "Dark Emperor"? "Dark Emperor"... Audrey instantly thought of the card of blasphemy that currently belongs to Mister Fool, which is the highest level item she has come into contact with so far.

She suddenly became interested in Capin's murder:

"Sounds very interesting. Although it's not legal, I still want to say that the grand thief did it really well. Well, dad, what's the process?"

"The police and the corresponding department of the church did not disclose the specific details, and I have not met them yet. The newspaper described it like this. The thief was wearing black armor, a pitch-black crown, and a cloak of the same color behind him. He entered the card He not only stole all the property in the safe, but also stole the lives of Capin and his evil men, rescued the girls who were imprisoned in the dungeon, and sprinkled towers all over Capin's body. The most conspicuous ones are the two cards on the face, one is 'judgment' and the other is 'emperor'." Earl Hall described with a smile while holding a newspaper.

Tarot cards... "Judgment" card and "Emperor" card... Audrey's eyes suddenly lit up.

PS: The next chapter previews, "What? A safe?" Klein almost blurted out as he looked at the newspaper.
