Secret: The Witch's House Traitor

Page 72

Hugh Dilcha took the public carriage to the East District again to periodically confirm whether his commission had yielded any results.

She learned from the newspaper that an explosion caused by a gas leak occurred at the address where Williams, who had been commissioned by her to investigate Lanevus, lived.

Xio looked at the newspaper in her hand sadly. She swore in her heart that she would avenge Williams. At the same time, she gave up the plan to continue to the East District and returned immediately to inform Fors to move quickly.

In fact, given the efficiency of the Aurora Society, if it weren’t for the commotion caused by Lin Nuo and Sharon last night, Xio and Fors would have been killed by the Aurora Society long ago.

At 8:15, Klein knocked on Lin Nuo's door.

"Detective Sherlock, I knew it would be you who would come over at dinner time."

Lin Nuo smiled at Klein and invited him in.

"I've already had breakfast."

Klein's face darkened. He wasn't coming here just to get a free meal.

"Do you usually have breakfast this late? It's already 8 o'clock in the morning."

Klein asked helplessly as he sat in the restaurant with Lin Nuo, who was eating slowly.

"I stayed up half the night last night and didn't sleep until noon. I think I have done my best for the goddess."

Lin Nuo said as a matter of course.

No...I think whether you stay in bed in the morning has nothing to do with the goddess.

Klein's mouth twitched. He looked at Lin Nuo and asked:

"I went to the Brave Bar last night, but I didn't find Maric and Miss Bodyguard. Do you know where they are?"

This was the main reason why Klein came to find Lin Nuo early in the morning.

"I don't know about Maric. He's probably hiding away from the spotlight. As for Sharon... isn't she right in front of you?"

Lin Nuo put down his knife and fork and pointed at his grey eyes. A figure wearing a black Gothic court dress was clearly reflected in his grey pupils.

"Possessed by a vengeful spirit? What are you doing?"

Klein couldn't understand it.

"The wraith possesses a passive anti-divination ability, which is as high as Sequence 5. My own anti-divination ability is only Sequence 6, so I need her protection."

Lin Nuo could actually use mirror magic to perform counter-divination, but wouldn't that be tantamount to incriminating himself?

I had already put the blame on the Blood Cult and the Rose School, at least on the surface, but now I suddenly discovered that the divination was interfered with by the saint-level mirror magic?

In Backlund, apart from the Witch Church, who else could perform saint-level mirror magic?

What on earth did you do last night? Even the anti-divination ability of Sequence 6 couldn’t protect you?

Klein had never thought that he could use the evil spirit's anti-divination ability by being possessed. At the same time, he became more and more curious about what Lin Nuo had done yesterday.

"What do you want from Sharon?"

Lin Nuo asked Klein.

"Miss Sharon and I discovered a building relic from the Fourth Epoch below Williams Street. It is suspected to be related to the Tudor Dynasty. I then investigated the information of all the impoverished nobles in Backlund and finally locked onto a descendant of the Pound family."

"After I found out Baron Pound's address, I went to visit him in the middle of the night, but he concealed a lot of things, such as the thing inside that looked like an evil spirit."

Klein told Lin Nuo everything without hiding anything.

He had originally planned to work with Miss Sharon to blow up the entrance to the underground ruins to prevent anyone from accidentally breaking in and releasing the evil spirits inside.

"Relics from the Fourth Epoch? The Tudor Dynasty?"

"Detective Sherlock, you really gave me a big surprise."

After listening to Klein's story, Lin Nuo put down his fork. He tapped the edge of the table lightly and said with a smile:

"Ms. Sharon, could you please wash the dishes?"

The projection of Sharon in Lin Nuo's eyes froze for a moment, but she still walked out of Lin Nuo's body and took away the plate in front of him.

Klein stared at Lin Nuo with a strange look in his eyes. This is what you meant by using the anti-divination ability. Aren’t you worried that the enemy will be able to divine your exact location at this time?

"I have a true fortune teller in front of me. Nothing can make me feel more at ease than this."

Lin Nuo signaled Klein to relax and not to worry about the details.

"I'm sorry, I'm no longer a fortune teller. I've become a clown. So goodbye, Mr. Lin Nuo. See you again if we're lucky."

Klein stood up expressionlessly and was about to leave this dangerous place.

"Don't leave in such a hurry. I haven't paid you yet."

Lin Nuo called out to Klein. He didn't expect that the other party would be so cowardly and really leave when he said he would.

"what money?"

Klein turned back and sat down again and asked.

"Information fee. The information you shared might be helpful to me."

Lin Nuo spread his hands. He couldn't just listen to the intelligence that Klein had worked so hard to investigate for nothing, right?

Xiao Ke made a rough calculation and found that apart from his labor costs, there was basically no cost to obtain this information, but he had no need to save money for Lin Nuo, a big dog owner.

"Two... one hundred pounds?"

Klein quoted a price with a guilty conscience.

"Ugh..."

Are you looking down on me?

Lin Nuo was somewhat helpless. Please show me the demeanor of Mr. World at the Tarot Club and rip me off. How can you give me a discount just because we are acquaintances?

Klein was confused when he heard Lin Nuo sigh. Did he bid too high? That shouldn't be the case. Where did your crazy bidding spirit at the extraordinary gathering go? You can't treat him differently just because he's an acquaintance, right?

"This is for you. It depends on your ability how much you can sell it for."

Lin Nuo threw a Beyonder Characteristic the size of a child's fist to Klein. The main body of it was silver-white, with iron black and dark red colors wrapped around it.

"This is?"

"Sequence 8 'Sheriff''s' Beyonder Characteristics."

Lin Nuo said casually.

Sequence 8 'Sheriff'? Isn't this the 'Arbitrator' path? Isn't this path in the hands of the royal family, the military, and a few ancient nobles in Loen?

As a former official Beyonder, Klein suddenly felt that the Beyonder characteristics in his hand were a little hot, but they were also really valuable. The Sequence 9 Hunter characteristic was easily sold for 400 pounds, so Sequence 8 was not too much to sell for 800 pounds, right? After rounding off, wouldn't it be 1000 pounds?

"Will anything go wrong if I hold this?"

Klein asked hesitantly.

"What are you afraid of?"

Lin Nuo raised his eyebrows.

Nonsense, of course I'm afraid that your enemies have picked the wrong person!

Klein rolled his eyes, but when he remembered that Gray Mist had put away the Sheriff trait in his hand, he didn't believe that anyone could track Gray Mist.

"What on earth did you do last night?"

"Someone inside MI9 supported the human traffickers to run an underground industry. I went to help the kingdom eliminate a few scums and rescued a few abducted girls."

Lin Nuo said he went there on behalf of Rune.

"Capin?"

Klein also recalled some of the things he heard at the Golden Rose Bar when he was protecting Mike.

Boom!Boom!

There was a knock on the door.

Lin Nuo clasped his hands together and begged Klein:

"That should be the newspaper delivery man. Please open the door. It's not good to keep the people outside waiting for too long."

Too lazy for you!

Klein placed the Beyonder Characteristics in his hand on the table and stood up to open the door.

After a while, Klein came back with a newspaper. He did not hand it to Lin Nuo, but read it by himself.

Lin Nuo didn't care about it. He smiled and looked at Klein's reaction.

hiss!

As expected, Klein suddenly squeezed his legs together and gasped.

"You did all this?"

He asked, pointing tremblingly at the newspaper in his hand.

Lin Nuo shook his head and pointed in the direction of the kitchen.

Klein took a quick glance and then quickly buried his head in the newspaper in his hand.

The newspaper did not reveal anything about the human trafficker Kapin, but only revealed that Kapin's dinner was tampered with and was suspected to be made of R meat. The words were vague and sounded like gossip. It can only be said that the Loen royal family knows how to control public opinion.

Last night, the Storm Church's crackdown on organized crime only occupied a small space. The main page of the news was filled with explosive news about a series of well-known figures such as Councilman Vadra and the Deputy Director of the Backlund Police Department who had lost everything.

For the sake of the overall situation, the Loen royal family really didn't take these people's faces seriously and published it directly in the newspaper. Even when Lin Nuo was trying to give the royal family a way out, he didn't expect that they would do it so smoothly.

Klein didn't expect Miss Sharon to be so cruel. How could a lady who looked quite gentle on the outside be so brutal when she started to fight?

He looked at Lin Nuo with some suspicion. These things must have been done by you. Do you want to frame Miss Sharon who was not present?

Haha, Lin Nuo sneered silently twice. He was not going to take the blame. Although he came up with the idea, he did not have the time to commit the crime. Only the wronged souls had the ability to forcibly control those nobles and ruin their own future.

Chapter 125 Explosives Expert

While Klein and Lin Nuo were exchanging glances, Miss Sharon sat silently in the chair next to Lin Nuo like a ghost.

The two men avoided looking at each other tacitly, and neither of them mentioned the previous topic.

"Ahem, um... is Williams Street still bombed?"

After a moment of silence, Klein coughed twice and began to ask Lin Nuo for his opinion.

As a graduate of the history department, Klein knew clearly that the Abraham family was the top noble family in the Tudor Dynasty. Perhaps Lin Nuo knew what secrets were hidden in the ruins.

"Blast! Why not blow it up?"

"The information inside is unclear now. Let's not go in and send them off. Let's blow up the entrance first. It won't be too late to go in after I get the specific information from Raft Pound. The collapsed tunnel can't stop the resentful spirits that can pass through the wall..."

Lin Nuo is very interested in the ruins left by the Tudor family, but now is not the time to explore. Isn’t there a suspected evil spirit inside it?

Lin Nuo planned to prepare a series of targeted measures before going in. Wasn't the Black Skull Party looking for the Relic of the God of Death? If Lin Nuo could possess a Relic of the God of Death, wouldn't it be easy to deal with an evil spirit? Could it even turn against Tian Gang?

"We now need enough explosives to blow up the mine, and we are also looking for a reliable blasting expert."

Klein is also a man of action. He originally wanted to blow up, and now he can do it as soon as he says it.

"unnecessary."

Miss Sharon's ethereal voice sounded.

"You have a stockpile of explosives?"

Klein's eyes lit up.

"Go prepare the explosives."

"Two pounds."

"Looking for Caspers."

Miss Sharon reminded Crane that he could use her name when buying explosives.

"What about the demolition expert?"

Klein looked at Lin Nuo.
