Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 115: The Qualities of an Ace Intelligence Agent
The members of the Occult Research Society originally thought that Lelouch was at least a Sequence 6, or at least a Sequence 7.

Places like the fighting arena should have Sequence 6 guards, and that's on King's Row. After setting the fire, there's no way to escape without some magical abilities or magical items.

But no one expected that he was just a Sequence 8!

As members of Sequence 8, they felt that they had no such ability at all, and even doubted the accuracy of the intelligence provided by "Hound".

"Hound" knew what the people around him were thinking just by looking at their eyes. To be honest, he was also skeptical when he first heard the news.

But after understanding the specific situation, he realized that the Extraordinary Fighting Arena had loopholes in both the program and the venue. First, the venue was too large, and one or two Sequence 6s could not defend it.

However, it is impossible for the royal family and the nobles to send troops or extraordinary forces to entertainment venues such as the fighting arena, so the extraordinary guards at the fighting arena are not very sufficient.

In addition, Sequence 6 had been at the command post the entire time. It took more than half a minute after Bishop was killed for the Sequence 6 to react.

Later, Lelouch started setting fires, causing chaos among the nobles and almost making the guards lose their ability to organize. The Sequence 6 was also unable to find out Lelouch's location.

Order was not restored until the arrival of the "Made-in-China Punisher".

It can be said that the response of the Extraordinary Guards is hardly satisfactory.

As for the reason, it is very simple. Since the fighting arena was built, no similar incident has ever occurred. Even if the guards had a plan for such incidents before, it had been abandoned due to lack of sufficient drills.

Lelouch must have learned a lot about this in order to exploit these loopholes and complete the assassination.

The Hound admires the assassin, but his job is to catch him: "The news that Lelouch is a Sequence 8 is absolutely accurate!
"He was skilled in using a javelin-shaped extraordinary weapon and could also create a special type of incendiary bomb. This caught the guards of the fighting arena off guard, which allowed him to escape."

Of course, he wouldn't elaborate on the specific process by which Lelouch completed the assassination.

In addition, according to the description of the witnesses, Lelouch should have left using a magical item with the ability to "travel". The "Hound" does not intend to reveal this to everyone now, because it would be almost impossible to catch Lelouch, and no one would be willing to accept such a commission.

At this time, the fat "elephant" laughed and said, "This reminds me of a proverb said by Emperor Roselle: riding a horse but looking for a horse.

"The ability to create extraordinary weapons is an important clue, right? When did the official Beyonders become as stupid as those politicians? Why not hire me as your consultant... No, even a pig would have thought of this."

Everyone smiled. After all, there were only a few official Extraordinaries present, and the wild Extraordinaries and members of secret organizations were all happy to watch such excitement.

The Hound said coldly, "I won't bother you anymore. I'm afraid you'll eat too much and bankrupt us."

Without waiting for Elephant to speak, Hound continued, "It's impossible for a Sequence 8 to create a transcendental weapon. We've investigated the source of those weapons, but no transcendental weapons with similar appearances have appeared in Backlund.

"We have preliminarily determined that these weapons were not manufactured in Backlund."

Odysseus had to thank the sharp-tongued "Fat Pharmacist" for letting him know about an investigation direction of the official Beyonders.

This is why he is very cautious in selling extraordinary weapons. When similar incidents occur, official extraordinary people will not immediately suspect him.

Otherwise, just by selling extraordinary weapons, the profit would not be less than that of the "Nanmu Ballroom".

Of course, the "leader" has also used some powerful extraordinary weapons. If someone asks, he will say that they are weapons obtained from the God of Steam and Machinery.

The scene fell into a brief silence. After a few seconds, "Lion" Byron said, "Everyone, I will not accept such a commission. Those nobles don't treat us as human beings.

"Besides, the scandals that nobleman committed are enough to sentence him to death."

The Hound said seriously, "I seriously suspect that you have some connection with Lelouch!"

Odysseus thought to himself: You are right.

"You can investigate me and follow me as much as you want." Byron said with a smile: "Waste your manpower, maybe you can help Lelouch escape danger."

The Elephant laughed and said, "I guess Lelouch has already run away. Why would you still need to help him out of danger? Besides, you won't be able to find Lelouch even if you accept this commission."

Facing the "elephant's" sarcasm, Byron was not angry at all: "You are right."

Seeing that the "lion" did not refute him, the "elephant" lost interest.

After that, no one commented on this commission, so everyone started other commissions and transactions.

One of the commissions caught Odysseus's attention. It was a task issued by member "Wild Wolf" to recruit two stalkers. The requirements were that they needed to be very good at observation and able to draw portraits.

When a member asked where he worked, "Wild Wolf" replied that he worked on Pacefield Street.

The Church of the Evernight Goddess of Saint Musel's Church was located on that street. It was not only the largest church of the Evernight Goddess in Backlund, but also the most important church of the Evernight Goddess besides the Amanda Mountains.

Firstly, ordinary Extraordinary criminals wouldn't dare hide on this street. After all, the Backlund Parish's Nighthawks headquarters is also located there, with numerous Nighthawks coming and going daily. They might even identify a hiding Extraordinary criminal. So, who was Wild Wolf targeting? A resident of that street? Did ordinary people really need professional surveillance?

Odysseus keenly sensed that this commission was unusual, so he asked, "Wild Wolf, I want to initiate a deal with you."

The "Wild Wolf" immediately said in a serious manner: "You go ahead."

"Who are you planning to track down?" Odysseus paused and then said, "Name your price."

According to convention, "Wild Wolf", as the member who issues the commission, does not need to disclose the details of the commission, but the remuneration for the commission he issues must be consistent with the payment made by the commission acceptor, otherwise no one will be willing to accept his commission.

“No need to quote a price.” Wild Wolf said helplessly, “I don’t know who the specific target is.

"This was a very well-paid assignment I received. Although the content of the commission was very strange, the employer paid me very readily, so I didn't ask any more questions.

"Yesterday my employer asked me to recruit two more people to complete this task together, so I announced the commission at the party."

Odysseus frowned, which made him pay more attention to the matter: "Then let's make a deal. Let's talk about your commission."

The Wolf nodded: "Okay, 10 pounds!"

Seeing that the "leader" was so concerned about this matter, everyone began to pay attention to their conversation.

However, the subsequent transaction was not made public. Apparently, the employer of "Wild Wolf" requested that the specific commission be kept confidential.

Odysseus took out 10 pounds in cash and handed it to the waiter. The waiter gave the cash to the "Wolf" and also handed him a writing board.

"Wild Wolf" wrote quickly on the paper on the writing board. Two or three minutes later, the content he wrote was handed to Odysseus by the waiter.

Odysseus looked at the scribbled handwriting: There were three commissions in total. The first was to observe pedestrians on the street who were equipped with gun bags, and draw portraits of those who often appeared on this street; the second was to observe pedestrians with very deep-looking pupils, and draw portraits of those who often appeared on the street; the third was to observe whether there were pedestrians with particularly pale faces, and if such pedestrians were also equipped with gun bags, they would have their portraits drawn.

After seeing the content of the commission, Odysseus immediately made a judgment: someone was investigating the members of the "Nighthawks" team!

Carrying a gun in Backlund requires a gun license, so there aren't many pedestrians with gun bags. The key point is that most people on that street go to church to pray and generally don't carry guns.

Anyone equipped with a gun bag is most likely a "low-sequence" member of the "Nighthawks" team.

As for the dark pupils, these are the changes that will occur in the pupils of Beyonders after taking the "Dark" Path potion.

Anyone with a particularly pale face and armed with a gun is very likely a "low-sequence" Beyonder from the "Corpse Collector" pathway.

Without sufficient extraordinary knowledge or insight, it is indeed difficult to clearly know the specific purpose of one's observation.

Especially wild Beyonders like "Wild Wolf", who have no idea that they are actually monitoring the "Nighthawks".

Even if the "Wild Wolf" is discovered and captured by the "Nighthawks", the person who issued the task will not expose himself.

However, Odysseus still said to the "Wild Wolf": "I want to trade with you the information of the person who issued the task."

The "leader's" questioning made "Wild Wolf" realize that the commission he had received seemed very unusual. He smiled bitterly and said, "The other party has been wearing a veil, so I can't see his appearance clearly.

"Besides, his voice is obviously disguised. I'm afraid he can't provide you with any useful clues."

Odysseus thought to himself: It is indeed so.

He said, "Give me a portrait of him and describe your impression of him."

"No problem," said the Wolf. "The reward is... Could you please tell me if this commission is very risky? Or what should I be careful about?"

Odysseus said, "Deal."

Four or five minutes later, he received the portrait with the veil covering the face, along with the relevant description, and then said to Wild Wolf, "Based on my judgment, it would be very risky for a Wild Beyonder to take on this mission."

If they observe there for a day or two, the "Night Watchers" may not notice them, but if they observe for a long time, it will definitely attract the attention of the "Night Watchers".

The fate of wild Beyonders who are noticed by official Beyonders is most likely to be captured and used to experiment with the abilities or negative effects of the sealed items.

After hearing what the "leader" said, "Wild Wolf" decided not to continue with the commission today. Several other members who were originally interested in the commission also remained silent.

At this time, member "Giraffe" said: "'Chief', I received two more pages of Emperor Roselle's notes. They are definitely authentic."
