Mystery: From Meeting Amon

Chapter 52
Sitting in front of the window anxiously all morning, Lewis didn't meet anyone to inquire about last night's battle, presumably the situation last night didn't attract anyone's attention.

At the same time, however, Lewis hadn't received any detective commissions.

"It's really competitive to be a detective in Backlund." Lewis sighed. When he was in Tingen, his only competitor was that Bernie detective. Even if he didn't promote it, he could always wait for some customers to come to his door. .

In the afternoon, Lewis closed the door of the detective agency and went to the newspaper office of Tussock Daily not far away.

Walking into the newspaper office, one could smell the smell of ink, and the huge and bloated printer was working non-stop, making deafening noises.

It was in this environment that newspapers were born, and then workers sorted them out and made them ready for distribution.

Lewis found a more secluded room, he pushed open the door, and several ladies sat in a compartment with their hands constantly moving.

According to the guidance of the wooden sign, Lewis found the window for advertising cooperation. He bent down and said, "I want to register an advertisement in the "Tasoke Evening News" for one month."

In Backlund, the most influential newspaper is naturally the Backlund Daily, but this daily is published for the entire Loen Kingdom, and the advertising price is quite high, generally only those big companies are willing to use it.

Although the Tassok newspaper has less influence and only faces the interior of Backlund, its price is relatively cheaper.

"Two pounds and six soli," said the lady in charge of the advertising space.

Lewis took the money out of his pocket and paid two pounds and six soli with distress. He had prepared the advertisement of the detective agency. He would see the advertisement of the detective agency on the Tussock Evening News tomorrow night. .

……

The next morning, when the sky was just getting bright.

Lewis naturally woke up from his sleep. He washed up briefly, put on his gray-blue workman's uniform and went out.

After changing carriages three times in a row, and spending one soli and eight pence for the carriage, Lewis finally arrived at the Backlund Bridge area.

He got off the car in a place with few people, and then circled around several times before arriving at the Brave Bar before 08:30.

Entering the bar, you can see a cool scene.

The bartender who was supposed to be in front of the counter was not there at all, and the tables and chairs were placed in a mess, as if the maid hadn't had time to clean them up.

Lewis sat at the counter for a while, and waited for about half an hour before the bartender arrived late and stood in front of the bar.

"I'm looking for Kaspers Kalinin." Lewis said directly, his goal today is very clear, that is to attend today's party.

"Perhaps you can find him in the No. [-] billiard room, but Mr. Kaspers may not come in an hour." The bartender replied casually, wiping the wooden wine glass.

Lewis frowned, agreed to come earlier?

But he still needs Mr. Kaspers as a guide, and this matter is regarded as a test, and there is nothing to complain about.

The bar in the morning was so quiet that it was maddening. Lewis ordered a glass of Southwell beer and went to the No. [-] billiard room while drinking. He opened the door and saw several people playing.

Looking carefully, the movements of those people are quite numb, like a few corpses that can move.

Among these numb people, only one man in a white shirt and black vest was obviously different. He held a club in his hand, glanced at Lewis, and frowned.

Lewis hastily blinked his right eyelid three times in a row to activate his spiritual vision. In the state of spiritual vision, he saw that the auras of these players were all dark, except for the man in the white shirt and black vest. color.

"The players who play are all living corpses, so the only living person should be Maric of the Prisoner Sequence, and he should be the Sequence Six now." Lewis suddenly thought of Miss Sharon, and the current Miss Sharon should be in the Sequence Five , Even in Backlund, he can be regarded as a transcendent of a considerable standard.

If Miss Sharon can be invited, maybe it will be a little easier for him to get the Sealed Artifact 0-08.

Just as Lewis was looking around and trying to find Miss Sharon, the living corpse next to Maric holding a cue suddenly raised the cue, and he aimed at Maric's head...

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, the cue in the hand of the living corpse hit Maric on the head, directly interrupting it.

Maric turned his head and looked at the living corpse in surprise. Behind Maric, another living corpse picked up a billiard ball...

"Tsk... This is about to meet the corpse change. If I don't act, Maric won't be beaten to death by the living corpse I raise?" Seeing that the situation is not good, Lewis hastily wrapped Azik's copper whistle with spirituality .

Azik's copper whistle is related to Mr. Azik of the death path, which makes it have some extraordinary powers and can affect undead creatures.

Of course, the premise is that these undead creatures have not passed through the priest's requiem.

As Lewis wrapped Azik's copper whistle with spirituality, the living corpses in the room fell silent. Maric glanced at the living corpse that was picking up the white billiard ball and was about to smash it down in surprise, his eyes were full of puzzlement .

"Mr. Maric, I need to hire a bodyguard." Lewis looked around the room again, but Maric seemed to be the only living person in the room. Maybe Miss Sharon was not there, or maybe he didn't want to be discovered by him.

"Bodyguard?" Maric snatched the white ball from the zombie's hand, then sat down calmly and wiped the cue with chocolate powder, and said, "You want me to be your bodyguard? My price is not cheap."

Seeing the confident look of the other party, Lewis was a little embarrassed, wondering if he would be kicked out of the room by the furious Maric if he said "you are too weak" now.

However, the fact is that if he wants to play the idea of ​​​​Sealed Object 0-08, he needs a more powerful assistant, and Maric is really not enough.

"Actually, this matter is somewhat difficult." Lewis thought for a while, and said truthfully: "This matter may involve a demigod..."

"Demigod?" Maric suddenly looked at Lewis, the cue in his hand fell to the ground, and the original calm image disappeared instantly.

"You can go, I will not be an enemy of a demigod." Maric directly asked the living corpse to drive Lewis out of the room, and after locking the door, he picked up the club tremblingly.

No matter how hard you try to hide it, I know you are frightened... Lewis complained in his heart.

Perhaps, the only way to do this is to ask Mr. Azik for help. I don’t know how much memory Mr. Azik has recovered and how much strength he has recovered.

Of course, he could also wait for Klein to hunt down Ince Zangwill to pick up the leak, but this is not a good idea.

At that time, the Goddess of the Night and the god would also be involved, and he didn't believe that using the two gods would help him, since Klein was more valuable after all.
