Mystery: From Meeting Amon

Chapter 74 Follow-up
In Duke Negan's mansion, Audrey Hall, who was discussing the assassination just now with his mother and nobles, saw his father with two beautiful mustaches appear at the door.

She found a reason to leave the lounge and went to the balcony outside the hall.

"Dad, what's the matter?" Audrey looked at Earl Hall with emerald eyes.

Earl Hall chuckled and said:
"The matter is settled, my child. Qilingus is dead, killed by some mysterious strongman. Killed in a weird, impenetrable way."

"Is there any news about that mysterious strong man?" Audrey was both surprised and excited. When she found Qilingus, she notified the members of the Tarot Club. If it wasn't an official transcendent, it would only be Tarot members of the meeting.

Who on earth is capable of killing a pirate general?Mister Fool's favored one?Or is it the favored person of Mister Fate?To be able to kill that great pirate in such a short period of time, only a high-sequence powerhouse can do it.

Audrey silently thought of those two gods who always looked down on everything. At the Tarot meeting, Mister Fate made it clear that his favored one would take action.

"I don't know. We can't even guess why the murderer killed Qilingos. This is really incomprehensible." Earl Hall paused, and said: "The murderer may be a person, or an organization. A strong organization."

Audrey rolled her eyes lightly, and thought of many things at once:
"It's really Mr. Destiny! His favored one is really too powerful. A pirate general with 'squirming hunger' died so inexplicably under the watchful eyes of the officials."

Seeing a little excitement in his daughter's meditation, Earl Hall coughed lightly and warned:
"Audrey, I know that you are usually interested in matters in the field of mysticism and pamper you, but you must not get involved in this matter. You should understand that a high-sequence transcendent, or a secretive , A powerful organization often means danger, understand?"

"I see, Dad." Audrey said softly, "I was just a little curious just now."

She is quite proud, she knows the ins and outs of the whole matter better than Earl Hall.

……

Inside the Duke Negan's mansion, in a small private study.

The fat and tall Duke sat on a high-backed chair behind the table, smoking a cigar, and looked at the "Singer of God" Al Snake and the prime minister of the kingdom, Agusid Negan, and others.

"Judging from the continuous information, the person who killed Qilingus was a high-sequence powerhouse, and he possessed incredible means." Agusid had just rushed over from the king.

"Singer of God" Al Snake added: "His methods are unimaginable. Before his death, Qilingus wandered around the entrance of the municipal park and the road of the man-made lake like an undead bound by a mysterious force until he died. Advent.

There are enough reasons to believe that this is a high-sequence mysterious powerhouse that we don't know about. Of course, the possibility that he used a mysterious sealed item cannot be ruled out. "

Duke Negan held a cigar and said:
"Maybe it's not just a high-sequence powerhouse, maybe it's a secret organization, and one of their members might be a dance party participant tonight."

His younger brother, Prime Minister Alguhid, solemnly said:
"No matter which possibility it is, we must be careful. A high-sequence expert coming to Backlund will bring too much uncertainty."

……

The crimson moonlight shone into the detective office through the window. Lewis lit the gas lamp. With the dancing flame of the gas lamp, three figures could be seen in the room.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Ards." Lewis took off his top hat and thanked the bronze-skinned man.

After he trapped Qilingos, it was Mr. Ards who shot and killed him, and then took him and Blau back to the detective agency after crossing the spirit world.

The current Mr. Ards is much stronger than when he was in Tingen, which means that the other party has recovered a lot of memories.

Mr. Ards didn't answer, sitting in front of the coffee table under the dim light, staring at a glove placed in front of him.

This glove is very thin and seems to be made of human skin. It seems that as long as the glove is filled with flesh and blood, it will come alive and become a real palm.

After watching for a while, Mr. Ards suddenly showed a painful and distorted expression, and whispered to himself:

"I seem to have worked with them..."

Lewis knew that the glove was "Squirming Hunger". He didn't disturb Mr. Azik's process of recovering his memory, but just waited quietly.

After a few minutes, Azik recovered from his absent-minded state, and he gently stroked "Squirming Hunger" with his right hand.

In an instant, black mist seemed to spew out from Mr. Azik's hands, and the black mist wrapped around the human leather glove, turning into bone palms and locking them together.

Next, the bony palm gradually disappeared, leaving only an imperceptible, white mark on the glove.

"I don't know why you wrote at the same time as Klein, telling me about Qilingus, but I think this is your secret." Mr. Ards stood up and said, "I will impose this item on you." With the seal, its side effects are greatly weakened, but it still needs to devour the flesh and blood of living people after each use, and now I will give it to you."

Klein also wrote to you?How did he write it?Lewis calmly analyzed it:
"You don't have to use the Azik copper whistle to summon the courier. Rituals or other tokens should also be able to summon. After I took the Azik copper whistle, Klein should have mastered the corresponding ritual."

Lewis didn't pick up "Squirming Hunger", a magical item that was indeed powerful, but the side effect of eating flesh after each use was troublesome.

In case one day, he uses "Squirming Hunger" and fails to find flesh and blood nearby, this will bring him big trouble.

"Thank you again, Mr. Ards." Lewis first thanked him sincerely, and then declined politely, "I think I have a more suitable magical item, why don't I pass this item to your student Klein."

Recalling Lewis's performance when he killed Qilingus in the municipal park, Azik put away "Squirming Hunger".

……

Klein didn't sleep well all night. He wasn't sure whether "Fate" would receive his news immediately, and he was even less sure whether "Fate"'s followers would be in Backlund.

Although he has already written to Mr. Azik, but Mr. Azik and him are just a cooperative relationship, and it is difficult to ensure that the other party will be interested in this matter.

Klein covered his mouth with his hands, yawned, and boarded the trolley carriage heading to Dotland Street.

"Extra! Extra! Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilingos was killed in Backlund."

…The carriage was about to drive when Klein suddenly heard the newsboy's voice. He hurriedly took out a penny, handed it out the window, and bought a copy of Tingen Morning News.

Unfolding the newspaper, Klein saw the headlines:
"The great pirate Chillingus was shot dead in Backlund by the Duke's bodyguards"

Chillingus dead?Was it done by the favored person of Mister "Fate"?Or Mr. Ards?
Klein fell into deep thought. He wasn't sure that he was connected to "Fate", let alone that Mr. Ards would make a move.
