Mystery: From the Shadow World

Chapter 138 Acquaintance
In an inconspicuous house in Queens.

Philip pushed the door open and walked in. His originally calm movements suddenly stopped. He inevitably looked at the two familiar figures who had found a place to sit not far away, feeling a little surprised.

Hugh Dilchar and Folthwall.

They were actually attending a gathering of Extraordinary people. If these two people were not from some hidden aristocratic or wealthy family, then they could only be Extraordinary people. Philip tried to shift his gaze as naturally as possible to make himself appear less abrupt.

But it's really unexpected. Wait, the two ladies that Miss "Justice" mentioned who are suitable for the Tarot Club and are both extraordinary people, with their own circles and resources, couldn't they be the two in front of me?
Forget it, there is too little information.

Although Beyonders were rare, and a pair of Beyonders accompanied by two ladies was even rarer, in Backlund, a large city with a population of five million, Philip did not think that the pairing before him would be the only exception.

Philip found a seat and sat down, watching the lady named Hugh write a note and hand it to the waiter. She was then led to the study on the first floor and fell into deep thought.

What does she want to buy?
With the inhuman vision that Philip possessed after reaching Sequence Seven, the entries on the blackboard were clearly visible. He looked in the direction of where Ms. Xiu had just sat and her gaze, and finally found an entry that caught his attention.

"Sequence 8 'Sheriff' potion formula, 450 pounds..."

According to Miss Justice, the two extraordinary people she came into contact with were from the "Apprentice" and "Arbitrator" paths, which seemed to match up. Philip pinched his chin and suppressed his inner thoughts.

At worst, he could wait until the next Tarot meeting and communicate with Miss Justice alone. If the result was really as he expected, then the Inquisitor's potion formula and Beyonder characteristics would be useful.

Although you have to wait a long time.

After all, judging from the current situation, Hugh Dilcha had just digested the "Arbitrator" potion. Even if he mastered the acting method, he would have to wait for a month or two. If he didn't master the acting method, Philip would have to wait until he went to his grandmother's house.

And the other party's financial situation also needs to be considered.

Philip pulled his mind away from the matter. Facing the waiter who came up to him to ask questions, he also used the paper and pen handed to him to write down the main business he had come to do today:
"Selling Hunter's Beyonder characteristic for 400 pounds."

This came from Meursault's lifelong sponsorship. Although this little bit of profit could not be used for anything useful for him now, if Leppard really figured out the bicycle and invested in it in advance, he would at least make a profit in the future, with basically no possibility of losing money.

In addition, the "embers" spell, which was clearly showing signs of overflowing, forced Philip to continue writing it as before. He could help solve these negative emotions of madness on the spot and even temporarily suppress the loss of control.

The price is 20 pounds.

Those who don't need it won't even look at it, but those who really need it will definitely accept it after gritting their teeth. After all, the price is very reasonable. If a Beyonder can't squeeze out 20 pounds, he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill himself.

If you solve the problem and leave immediately, you can make a profit of 19 pounds out of thin air as long as you handle it properly. After all, the production of the talisman mostly relies on the remaining fire, and the other materials combined cannot make up 1 pound.

Philip sat in his seat and waited quietly. When the break for free communication was over, the two items he had just submitted were added to the list on the blackboard.

Less than two minutes later, Mr. A's waiter came to the side and led him to the living room on the first floor in a low voice. Philip blinked, a little surprised, but followed him anyway.

He was more convinced that the Hunter's Beyonder characteristic had caught someone's attention than the so-called "Ember" spell, as it was quite convenient, after all. The Hunter's ability, ranked among the twenty-two paths of Sequence Nine, was not weak and could even be considered quite practical. If he could master the channels and potion formulas and sell them to wealthy merchants or others in need, he would definitely make a fortune at the cost of 400 pounds.

Even if one doesn't master the corresponding potion formula, the probability of failure in directly swallowing the extraordinary characteristics to become an extraordinary person is not high.

Not to mention that low-sequence auxiliary materials contain almost no spirituality. Even with the extraordinary characteristics of the mid-sequence, under extremely lucky conditions, some people can still jump on it and swallow it successfully.

But this situation was too outrageous. Philip had never seen it before, but it really existed.

After entering the living room, the other party was an adult man with a hoarse voice, covered in a black robe, and looked a little hunchbacked, but that was just an appearance.

Philip did not have any unnecessary conversation with the other party. He handed over his silver box containing the "red jelly" to the other party, confirmed the authenticity of the 400 pounds in cash, and returned to the hall.

However, less than ten seconds after he sat down, another waiter came over and leaned over to whisper.

Philip looked a little strange. He looked at the blackboard. The entry for selling the Beyonder characteristic of "Hunter" had long been erased by the guard. Now there was only one possibility.
There won’t really be any suckers, right?
With this feeling, he followed into a room. Just after he found a chair to sit down, the buyer pushed the door open and walked in.

"Can your ability only be used on-site?"

Hearing the other party's first words, Philip subconsciously raised his eyebrows. Of course, it was not because of the question itself. After all, when he wrote this entry, he had already anticipated this result.

It is true that being able to relieve negative emotions and temporarily suppress madness is a great ability, but whether you can carry it with you and use it according to the situation becomes a problem.

If Philip was willing to sell the talismans directly, people who wanted to buy them would have to line up outside the door, if not all the way to the lobby.

What really surprised Philip was the other party's voice. Even after deliberate concealment, he still recognized the source of the voice.

Forth Wall.

Philip suppressed the twitch of his lips and smiled. "I think the entry on the blackboard is very clear. If this ability can really be used as a means of storage like a talisman, I probably won't need to come to the party specifically to sell it."

Fors fell silent immediately.

Under the oppressive feeling of the full moon's whispers, even though she already knew the answer, she still couldn't help but ask, but the answer she got was unquestionable.

Philip glanced at the other person from under his hood. Thinking of the other person's care in the writing field and the possible relationship with Miss Justice, he spoke:

"If you feel you need help, I can provide the address and you can send a letter in advance. If you want to prevent any problems, please reply."
