Mystery: From the Shadow World

Chapter 140 Convey
Forsda frowned slightly. This sudden remark made her a little confused. Was the other party's intention a warning or threat, or did he mean to say that he had seen her somewhere before?

The latter is very likely. I'm very sure I didn't reveal anything just now. Fors's mind raced, recalling all her previous experiences. After confirming that she hadn't made any enemies, her expression softened and she shook her head.
"Sir, this has nothing to do with our deal, does it?"

She neither confirmed nor denied it, but secretly made preparations to ensure that if the other party made any unusual movements, she could return to the hall as soon as possible to let Mr. A handle it.

Even if there are any other accidents, it will not be difficult for the "apprentice".

"Don't get me wrong. Hmm. It's a little hard to explain, but what I'm trying to say is that if Miss Arbitrator wants to advance to Sequence Seven, she can consider me as a channel. I have both the Beyonder's characteristic and the potion formula for the Inquisitor."

Fors listened in a daze, unable to grasp the other party's true intentions. She could only nod and say, "I'll tell her, but whether she agrees is another matter."

Despite saying so, Fors was unwilling to put her friend at risk. She decided that she would have to persuade him properly later, or at least consider this channel only after ensuring that there was no risk.

"Very good, now that we've finished discussing trivial matters, let's get down to business." Philip clasped his hands together on the table and said with a smile, "Actually, I have a good suggestion, but it will test your tone and the trust between us."

Fors was a little confused. "Why do you say that?"

"My abilities actually come from a hidden being. They're unknown to the public, but they're friendly enough to humans. There's no need to internally refute them, at least from the perspective of the gods."

Philip spoke eloquently, "I can try to develop you into a follower of His. Although you can't use your powers on others like I can, praying to Him at critical moments to fight against the full moon curse is enough."

Fors opened her mouth slightly, but after hearing what the other party said, she felt it was a bit absurd. After a few seconds of silence, she finally remained silent.

"It looks worse."

Philip spread his hands nonchalantly and sighed, then placed three "Ember" charms on the table and pushed them towards the other party. "This is a sign of sincerity, the spell is "Ember". These three are enough to get you through tomorrow night, but remember to keep it a secret."

"We'll make the formal transaction at the next gathering. If you choose to become a believer, then simply give me that extraordinary item. If you don't want to make that choice, I'll give you six talismans to complete the transaction."

this.
Fors's hand slowly stretched forward, and her fingertips cautiously touched the surface of the warm silver piece. Then she took it into her palm, carefully examining the spell on it, and fell into a dilemma.

If the price is really within an acceptable range, she can even accept praying to the evil god, because there is really no other good way. As the mumbling becomes more and more severe, sooner or later she will lose control and become a monster.

According to my memory, this is indeed not one of those evil gods who harbor malice towards humans, and the honorific name is also positive, but for the sake of safety, I need to confirm it later, if possible.
Fors's hands suddenly clenched.

If she could really get the help of this mysterious being, she wouldn't have to worry about the mumbling in the future, whether it was a blood moon or a full moon.

That feeling of gradually moving toward madness between clarity and pain, that feeling of exhausting all one's strength and being helpless, even feeling like one can only lie, Fors never wanted to accept it again in her life.

"Xiu, what's wrong with you?"

An anxious Fors put away the talisman and returned to the hall, only to find that Xiou, who was supposed to be waiting for her, was walking towards them from the study, his pensive expression barely visible. Xiou shook his head and sat down close to Fors. He glanced around vaguely, confirming that no one was paying attention, and then said in a very low voice:

"Someone knew that I had purchased the Sheriff's potion formula, and he said he could give me a commission. In return, I could get the Sheriff's extraordinary materials."

The words Fors originally wanted to say were stuck in her throat, difficult to utter and difficult to swallow.

Her brain was racing, trying to confirm whether the events related to the past two days were a trap, but when she remembered to restrain her facial expression, her good friend Xio had already noticed her abnormality.

"What do you want to say?"

Fors pursed her lips, but ultimately did not hide anything. She told him what she had just experienced and the trade request made by Philip.

Hearing about such a coincidence, even the experienced Hugh, who had survived among the gangs and slums in the East District for many years, frowned.

But she quickly composed herself, confirmed the details of the transaction, and said soothingly, "Don't worry, it's probably just a coincidence. If they truly had some plans for us two Sequence Nines, they wouldn't have had to do this."

"'Inquisitor' is too far away for me, but it is undeniable that it is an avenue. After all, the people I just met cannot be said to be completely trustworthy. I will consider these things after I have digested the 'Sheriff' potion."

Xio's words were very tactful, but she knew in her heart that even if the time really came, she would be lucky if the money she had could buy at least one of the potion formula and the Beyonder characteristic. The remaining one would probably have to be obtained through items or other means.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

But this helpless sigh was filled with relief and satisfaction. As long as the transactions in these two places were successful, it wouldn't take long for her to become a mid-sequence Beyonder.

"That's right, Fors."

Xio changed the subject and looked at his friend seriously, "Don't try to touch the secret existence that guy mentioned. Even this talisman must be double-checked, and only use it when you really can't hold on any longer."

"It's just a little trouble now, but if the method that guy provided is a trap, you will be in danger!"

"I know"

Fors smiled and gave her friend Xio a reassuring smile. After the other party felt relieved and turned his attention elsewhere, she lowered her eyes slightly to hide her helplessness.

She had not lied, everything she said was true, but in order not to worry her best friend, she did not tell her the true extent of the Full Moon's whispering impact on her.

If there is no other way, at most three or four times, even if she doesn't want to take the risk, she will have to take it at the moment of death.
