Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 192 Special Guitar

The royal demigod suppressed his nausea and flipped the coin.

This extraordinary object immediately flew up and then landed in the palm of his hand.

Numbers facing up indicate affirmation.

Snake and the other man performed divination several more times and finally came to a conclusion.

The nobles including Kapin and their servants were all here.

They are still conscious and very awake, and can clearly perceive everything happening in the outside world.

The perception of every part of their body, every piece of flesh and blood, and every piece of skin remains sufficiently active and connected together.

Touch the skin, and the sensation will be transmitted to the limbs, flesh, bones, brain...

The organs and flesh exposed to the outside remain sufficiently active. They are like the new tender meat that will not form scabs and will recover immediately if damaged.

The two of them carefully walked around the carpet, without touching the furniture and decorations, and came to the painted wall inside the house.

There were two tarot cards painted on it using various paints.

The Devil and the Emperor.

"Devil..." Snake immediately focused his attention on the devil card.

He remembered the same tarot deck from the last Zillingos case, which also included a Devil card.

"Have you seen it?" The royal demigod glanced at Snake out of the corner of his eye.

"He was there last time, with Qilingos," Snake replied, then added, "Qilingos hasn't died yet."

The royal demigod nodded and began to walk around the house without saying anything.

Soon, he found a guitar.

There was a human face growing in the middle of the guitar where the sound hole should be.

That was Capin's face.

Kapin's mouth was wide open, acting as a sound hole.

But there were no eyes where they should be.

Looking upwards, the royal demigod found two decorative eyeballs on the headstock of the zither.

The eyeballs were facing the demigod, without any bloodshot, like two simulated glass beads.

But demigods can sense the gaze on their eyeballs.

The white strings of the guitar gave the demigod a very bad feeling.

He observed it again for himself.

Lipids, proteins, carbohydrates...

He closed his eyes and cursed in his heart.

"Mad, it's the brain."

He opened his eyes again and did another divination.

Although this is a coin-shaped seal, its extraordinary ability is not limited to the simplest "yes" or "no" judgment. Every time it is thrown, the user can see some pictures and has the ability similar to dream divination.

"What's wrong?" Snake came to the royal demigod.

"This is an extraordinary item. According to my divination, its extraordinary ability is very useful." The demigod told Snake without hiding anything.

This item must be taken to the Storm Church for inspection later. There is no point in him hiding it here now.

"The extraordinary effects are that playing music can increase the spirituality of teammates, dispel negative effects, create holy light, and cast light magic."

"What about the negative effects?" Snake continued to ask.

"There are no negative effects," the royal demigod replied, "or rather, the user doesn't bear the negative effects."

He pointed at Kapin's face and said, "The more pain you can cause him, the better the effect of your extraordinary ability will be."

Snake took a deep breath: "This is fucking..."

He turned and left, pounding his left chest with his right hand and praying to the Lord of Storms.

…………the next day.

Queens, in the luxurious villa of Earl Hall's family.

Audrey was waiting for the maid to cut the food when she suddenly heard her father, Earl Hall, who was used to reading the newspaper at breakfast, laugh: "Capin is dead."

When Earl Hall saw the news of Capin's death in the newspaper, he could not bear the sadness and couldn't help laughing.

Capin's death caused a huge stir throughout Backlund. Many noble children, including Audrey, immediately raised the same question upon learning of Capin's death.

"Who is Capin?" Audrey asked.

In fact, she wasn't at all curious about who Kapin was, she was simply cooperating with her father who clearly wanted to communicate.

Audrey remembered seeing it in a psychology book.

Regardless of age, the psychological unity of men is attributed to "child psychology".

And appropriate agreement can make them happier.

This is not only the daughter's specialty, but also the instinct of a "mind reader", and it is also the professional habit developed by the Tarot Club's first supporting actor at the meeting.

"A wealthy man who might secretly be a human trafficker. He had good connections with certain people, haha..." Earl Hall chuckled. "He was murdered last night. The scene... you should eat first. If you're curious, we can show you after dinner."

"Okay." Audrey nodded obediently.

Lord Hall glanced again at the newspaper in his hand.

"Well, that Tarot guy did it again."

She suddenly became interested in the murder of Kapin.

"Tarot Club? I remember hearing their name several times. It's a very active organization lately."

Audrey quickened her eating pace, opened her mouth, and bit off a small piece of cake worth three months' salary of Mr. Fool in one fierce bite.

"Did they spill the tarot cards again?" Audrey asked vaguely.

The Hall family has always had a relaxed style, and there's no such thing as not talking while eating or sleeping, so Earl Hall didn't blame Audrey for her unladylike behavior. He just reminded her, "Be careful not to choke."

"Okay." Audrey swallowed the cake with all her might. The cake, equivalent to Mr. Fool's three-month salary, had accomplished its mission.

"The police and church counterparts haven't disclosed specific details, and I haven't met them yet. The newspaper described it this way: According to the rescued people, there were at least two visitors, and the police speculate there were probably three or four."

"Two of them were responsible for the rescue, freeing the girls from the dungeon. However, none of the rescued people could remember the two people's appearances, only that they were very beautiful, and that one was an angel and the other was a knight. The police speculate that the people may have used some kind of hallucinogenic drug."

It could also be an extraordinary ability, Audrey added inwardly.

But... the beautiful knight...

Audrey's first thought was the Pure Knight.

If he were a pure-American knight, he would definitely not sit idly by and watch such a thing happen.

"There were one or two others who, while their companions were rescuing the hostages, entered Kapin's villa and stole not only all the valuables from the safe, but also the lives of Kapin and his evil men."

These were indeed taken away by Xing. This is a treasure chest, and it is the reward that Xing deserves.

Seeing Audrey finished eating, Earl Hall emphasized again,
"Are you sure you want to listen?"

After Audrey nodded, Earl Hall continued to read the contents of the newspaper.

"Kapin was killed, his skin made into a carpet, his flesh and blood smeared on the walls, pieced together to form an Emperor card and a Devil card. His remaining parts were made into a guitar with a retro pattern."

Audrey couldn't help but widen her eyes.

So cruel!

She subconsciously began to speculate.

The Emperor and the Devil...

Miss Emperor doesn't seem like someone who would do such a thing, so it's Mr. Devil.

But this is not in line with Mr. Devil's preferences. Compared with the form of the result, he should care more about the process.

and so……
