Mystery: From Meeting Amon

Chapter 44 Backlund
"Mr. Lewis, please help me, someone is chasing me." Cherry bit her lip, she pinched the clothes on Lewis' chest, and whispered.

Lewis couldn't help frowning, he was very embarrassed to face this kind of request, after all, he and Cherie were just customers and dancers.Facing a woman who might involve him in a troublesome incident, of course he gave priority to protecting himself.

With an idea, Lewis took out a coin from his pocket, and silently recited the divination statement "I should help this lady".

"Follow me." The moment he saw the head of the person facing up, Lewis grabbed Cherry by the wrist, brought her into the bathroom, and hid in front of him.

Using the characteristics of the "machine", he could completely cover Cherie's body perfectly. If the other party was not a transcendent person who was good at scouting, even if he went into the bathroom to check, he would not find it at all.

In addition, Cherry herself is an assassin of Sequence Nine, she can well cover up her own aura, making herself integrated with the surrounding environment.

"Hey idiot, have you seen a woman? She is thinner and has a gunshot wound on her shoulder." Suddenly, a man of average height but with a particularly strong build pushed open the door of the bathroom. He looked at the man who was washing his hands carefully. Lewis, asked.

"I'm not called an idiot. Besides, as you can see, I'm the only one in the bathroom." Lewis turned around and replied unhurriedly. He looked down at the gun pouch on the other's waist.

In Tingen City, there are not many people who can legally hold a pistol. The other party is likely to be a retired policeman with a high position.

The extra-strong man turned and left, and Lewis breathed a sigh of relief. It would be great if there was no conflict. After all, he didn't want to fight with a man with a gun.

"Miss Cherry, the other party has already left." Lewis said to the lady behind him.

After such an intense and exciting dodging battle, Lewis temporarily suppressed his uncontrollable desire. He didn't look at Cherie again, and walked straight towards the exit of the bathroom.

"Mr. Lewis, I know you are a very powerful transcendent, but why did you destroy Miss Triss's ceremony?" Cherry suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Lewis' wrist, asking.

"Do you know what Triss wants to do?" Lewis asked expressionlessly.

Triss wants to curse everyone who might report her, which is undoubtedly evil and should be stopped.

Of course, Lewis' main purpose was just to earn some commission, and by the way loot all the property of a Sequence Seven, but he didn't expect that Sequence Seven to be a little poor.

"Miss Triss just wants to take revenge on those who betrayed her. What's more, she promised me that she will curse a human-trafficking villain." Cherie bit her lower lip and said firmly.

Lewis sighed, Miss Cherry was brainwashed by the instigator, but unfortunately he is not good at cracking brainwashing.

"Miss Cherry, I am not obliged to explain to you, I hope you can understand." Lewis withdrew his hand and left from the bathroom.

Seeing Lewis' back, Cherry bit her lips, and she took a few steps back, her figure gradually blending into the shadow in the bathroom.

After leaving the bathroom, when Lewis sat back to his original position and faced the elf-like beautiful lady again, the unexplained burning feeling appeared in his body again.

Lewis finally began to observe this beautiful lady, and the two consecutive desire questions made him realize that there must be a secret in the lady opposite.

With his self-control ability, it is impossible to arouse his own desire just by seeing the other person's beauty.

"Is she also the way of the witch? Sequence Six or above Sequence Six?" Lewis blinked his right eyelid three times while guessing, hoping to see the opponent's astral body with Spirit Vision.

"Hiss..." Suddenly, Lewis gasped, his eyes hurt like being pricked by needles, and he even had a headache.

This made Lewis realize that he shouldn't turn on Spirit Vision casually. In the mysterious world, Spirit Vision is also a dangerous ability. If you see something you shouldn't see, you may die suddenly on the spot.

Lowering his head, Lewis no longer looked at the lady's face, which could keep him from being swayed by desire.

The night of restraining desire always seemed extraordinarily long, until the next day, when the steam train pulled into Backlund Station, Lewis put on his top hat, took his suitcase, and walked out of the train station.

Backlund was divided into two parts obliquely by the Tussock River, which flowed toward the southeast estuary. They were linked by the Backlund Bridge and ferries, and had a population of over 500 million.

Walking out of the train station, you can see the steeple clock tower and endless Victorian-style buildings in the distance. The city shines with an ancient and modern atmosphere under the rising sun.

Looking at the distance like this, one can't help but feel how small a person is in the metropolis.

When Lewis was far away from the train station, he suddenly felt someone on the right side of his line of sight, turned his head, and Cherry happened to be within sight.

"Mr. Lewis, thank you for helping me last night." Cherie sincerely thanked her, her face was pale probably due to blood loss and hunger.

Lewis smiled faintly. He took out a pound note from his wallet and gave it to Cherie, saying, "Maybe you should find a place to live first, and then slowly think about the future."

Without asking too much, Lewis bypassed Cherry and left. Just a moment ago, he suddenly had a bold idea: Can Cherry be trained to Sequence Six?

After all, Lewis clearly remembered the potion formulas for the witch to pass through Sequence Seven and Sequence Six.

You must know that under the influence of the original witch, there are very few pure women in the upper echelons of the Witch Sect. Most of them are transformed from men. A female Sequence Six is ​​really exciting.

"Other people raise their wives, but I'm different. I raised a..." Lewis hurriedly stopped thinking about it. He shook his head, feeling a little regretful.

It's a pity that Miss Serra is going to be promoted to Sequence Five. This is not good news. Lewis prefers that all witches stay in Sequence Six forever.

As he walked, Lewis met a kid selling newspapers. He called to him and bought a copy of today's Backlund Life newspaper for a penny.

In the rental section of the newspaper, Lewis found news about rental properties in the Hilton neighborhood and began to pay attention.

"The rent here is about 18 soli a week, and the price is barely acceptable. If you open a detective agency here, the business should not be too bad, and my life can be guaranteed."

Lewis put away the newspaper and headed to the Hilton neighborhood. His top priority now was to find a place to live and a stable source of income. Only in this way could he be free to go further to find the formula for the lucky one.
