Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 41 The Limit of Sin

The information mentioned at the occult research conference initiated by the "leader" was somewhat beyond Xio's expectations, and even made her feel unfamiliar with Backlund.

"I'm going to issue a mission." Hound quickly glanced at the information provided by the "leader" and then, after paying the 50-pound information fee, continued, "Help me investigate who this person had contact with during his lifetime."

After saying this, he took out a portrait and unfolded it: "I will provide detailed information about this person and some of the people he had contact with during his lifetime. As long as you can find a contact person who is not in the information, I will give you 10 pounds for each one, no upper limit.

"Well, it has to be someone you've had contact with within the past three months."

Odysseus saw that it was a portrait of the deceased "Manufactured Punisher" informant.

This was the third time this person had been contacted. The first time was when Enoch reported that someone was looking for this informant.

The second time was on the night of the underground boxing match. I saw the real person during the match, but after a while, the real person turned into a corpse lying on the ground.

This is the third time I've seen this face.

Odysseus knew very well that this man died at the hands of the royal guards. This must involve the nobles and even some secrets of the royal family. He would not provoke them if he could.

Then he pondered: Did the Royal Guards cooperate with MI9 in the assassination of this informant? MI9's "hounds" were now investigating who this informant had contacted before his death. It seemed that killing him hadn't yielded satisfactory results.

At this time, Xio raised his hand: "I can try to take this task."

If you have detailed information, a commission of £10 is very generous.

She thought she could look at the information first, maybe she could come across some clues.

"Are you a very enthusiastic newcomer?" Hound smiled. "Who else is willing to take on this mission? I've brought three sets of information."

Soon, two other members also took up the task. The credit of "Hound" has always been very good, and the commission for this task is indeed quite generous.

After the Hound's mission was released, the somewhat taciturn Lion Byron suddenly said, "There's new progress on my previous commission.

"After about a week of surveillance in the East End, I discovered that someone was secretly kidnapping homeless people. I followed the group and eventually discovered that they had locked the people in a warehouse in the dock area.

"There, I saw Kapin."

The other members were slightly stunned, and one of them said indignantly: "This doesn't seem surprising. This bastard will get his comeuppance sooner or later!"

Several other members also condemned Capin one after another. Even in Backlund's Extraordinary World, this guy had a very bad reputation.

The "chief" Odysseus interrupted everyone's condemnation and asked the "lion": "Do you seem to want to continue investigating?"

"Yes!" The Lion said firmly, "I want to get more evidence and hand it over to the reporters to expose the atrocities of this villain!
“You may not know that the fate of those homeless people in that warehouse was very miserable. They were sorted like livestock, and the weak and sick were simply thrown into the deep waters of the Tussock River.

"Every one of them has a rock tied to their body, and no one can float up..."

Hugh suddenly interrupted the Lion: "Wait a minute, you mean each of them has a stone tied to their body?"

"Yes, it's cruel, isn't it?"

"Don't you see the problem here?" Xio first asked rhetorically, then answered himself: "If it doesn't meet Kapin's requirements, we should just drive away those weak homeless people.

"Why tie stones to them?"

At this time, most members realized that doing so was too troublesome. In the eyes of these human traffickers, a homeless person might not be worth as much as a rope used to tie a stone.

The Lion also understood: "He... they are trying to silence the witnesses."

After a few seconds of silence in the living room, Hound suddenly reminded, "I've heard of Kapin. He has a strong background. I suggest you stop investigating."

He has done his best by reminding people to this point.

The Lion looked at the Leader opposite him and asked, "What suggestions do you have?" Odysseus replied, "Obviously, you are not willing to listen to our advice."

The Lion was stunned for a few seconds before saying, "I... I just..."

He took a deep breath and said, "I've never considered myself a good person, and I've seen too many dark things in Backlund.

“But this time, I felt that what Kapin did had exceeded my limits.

"It's hard to imagine, hundreds of lives were sunk into the icy water, they struggled, they cried.

"But they were so weak that not even their cries could reach the shore."

The living room was silent for another second or two before Odysseus said, "If you're in danger, come to me. I'll try to save your life."

All in all, it seems that Kapin is about to die, so it doesn't matter if he steps on this "grasshopper in autumn".

The Lion stood up and said, "Thank you, thank you. I knew you wouldn't ignore it."

The "Hound" and the "Peacock" both shook their heads, seemingly puzzled by the "Lion's" behavior.

Xio looked deeply at the "chief" and then at the "lion". Byron's determination exceeded her expectations, and the "chief's" promise also exceeded her expectations.

This is not something that would happen at an extraordinary gathering.

The Elephant suddenly asked, "If something happens to the Leader, will the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery send someone else to preside over the gathering?"

Peacock looked at him and said, "If you don't speak, will you die?"

"Elephant" explained: "I just have this question. After all, this party is pretty good. At least I feel safe attending it."

Odysseus smiled and said, "Maybe they will send more people."

The topic ended there, and the intelligence exchange soon resumed. After several transactions were successfully completed, one member said, "Everyone, I have something that I'm confused about. Why do strange things appear after the death of a Beyonder?"

Someone then asked, "Did you kill a Beyonder?"

"I didn't kill him." The member did not elaborate.

At this time, member "Wild Wolf" said: "To be honest, I have similar doubts."

Regarding the question of this issue, we can immediately tell which are the wild extraordinary people and which are the organized extraordinary people.

People like "Hound", "Peacock", "Wolverine", "Elephant" and others obviously do not have similar questions.

"This information is very advanced," Odysseus said, "but it's not untradeable. I can explain some of the underlying principles. The total price is 500 pounds. This information is worth the price."

"Oh~"

No one expected that the price of this information would be so expensive!
But fortunately, the "leader" mentioned the "total price", which is a unique trading method of the Mysticism Research Society. As long as the buyers participating in the transaction gather the total price, the transaction can be carried out.

For example, if the total price is 500 pounds and there are ten people involved in the transaction, each person needs to pay 50 pounds.

This amount of money is within an acceptable range.

Although Xio knew the concept of Beyonder characteristics, she did not know the specific principles, so she also participated in this transaction and reluctantly paid 26 pounds and 7 soli for it.

But the moment she got the answer, she was immediately relieved. The information provided by the "leader" said: That is called Extraordinary Characteristics, which is probably the most expensive thing on an Extraordinary person.

Beyonder characteristics will not be destroyed or diminished, they will simply be transferred from one carrier to another...
