Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 38 The Haggard Miss Magician
The red moon was blocked by the clouds in the night sky, and the suburbs of Backlund immediately fell into complete darkness.

A dark figure stopped in front of a common courtyard in the countryside. He looked left and right to see if there was no one there, and quickly rolled into the courtyard wall.

As soon as Soi Ying's feet touched the ground, a hoarse voice asked in the room, "Who?"

"Master Hillman, it's me."

"Oh, Hyman!"

The clouds in the sky fluttered, and the red moon appeared again.

Under the moonlight, one could see a middle-aged man standing in the yard with a sincere smile on his face. He was the "con man" Heyman who had escaped from under the noses of Hobert and Xio.

"My lord, I'm here to ask you about two people, a tall young man who seems to be resistant to the influence of thinking to a certain extent. A short woman with a very strong hand and looks very capable of fighting." Hyman Said: "They have been secretly staring at me this afternoon, but fortunately I found out and successfully got rid of them."

The people in the room were silent for a few seconds before saying: "Do you suspect that it is the person I sent?"

Heyman smiled sincerely: "I have no doubts about anyone, but only you, my lord, know some of my secrets."

Hillman sneered: "If I were to deal with you, you would be dead now! You should think about whether you have provoked any big shots when you were defrauding."

"Since it's not an adult, it's likely to be an official Extraordinary." Heyman spread his hands: "They destroyed the master's plan, and it is estimated that Zachary has been controlled by them.

"I thought about it all night. There is only one possibility. The ceremony you asked Zachary to perform attracted the attention of the official transcendent, and they found me through Zachary."

Heyman never thought that it was Mr. Robin who was deceived by him who provided others with clues about him. In his opinion, Mr. Robin and his cousin were small people in Backlund, and at most they could Find Zachary, but never blame him.

"Ha!" Hillman laughed darkly: "I see, your aggressiveness just now was just covering up the failure of the plan!"

He said coldly: "Although Mr. A said that I have a cooperative relationship with you, I should have enough respect for you!

"But there's always some penalty for messing things up."

Before Heyman could argue, a solemn raving sounded in his ears, and Heyman's brain immediately seemed to be stirred with a knife, which made him feel so painful that he threw his head and hit the wall with a "thud, thud, thump".

He regrets it very much now. Three years ago, he shouldn't have gotten close to these lunatics in order to get the "acting method".

But it was too late now, he endured the severe discomfort in his head and shouted: "I will train another 'Secret Prayer', and let him willingly carry out Master Hillman's experiment!"

The solemn ravings began to weaken, and Hyman sat down in a corner, breathing heavily, feeling like he was escaping death.

Hillman in the house said: "Find a place to hide, if someone is still chasing you, you should know what to do, don't worry, we will avenge you when the time is right in the future.

"If no one continues to investigate, go to train a new 'Secret Practitioner'.

"Go, I will not report your mistake to Mr. A."

Heyman leaned against the wall and stood up: "Thank you, thank you for helping to cover up, I will not make similar mistakes again."

The babbling just now made him seem to be suffering from a serious illness, and he no longer had the strength to climb over the wall, so he could only support the wall and go out from the courtyard door.

Heyman had just stepped out of the courtyard door, stretched out a hand from the shadow of the courtyard wall, and closed the courtyard door.

……

There are no small towns in the Southern Continent.

The dewdrops in the morning were crystal clear, sliding slowly on the grass blades, and finally fell to the ground.

A young woman with fluffy hair and sloppy clothes was humming an out-of-key nursery rhyme and running around in the grass. The dew dripped on her pant legs, but she didn't care and seemed to be having a good time.

Elliott chased after her with a smile on his face, and helped her remove the blades of grass from her head: "I'm going out for a while, and I need to listen to the teacher."

She is Elliott's elder sister Moira. Because of the limited extraordinary qualities in the family, generally only one child in a family can take the "Lawyer" potion at the age of 12.

When Moira was 12 years old, she gave up the chance to take the potion to her younger brother.

So under the torment of frantic screaming, she was like other family members who had not taken the potion: crazy!

After becoming a lunatic, the crazy roar seems to disappear, but as long as the symptoms of madness improve slightly, the crazy roar will return.

Therefore, the lunatics of the Balk family will remain insane forever.

After the Balk family settled in a small town that didn't exist, the family bought many slaves to take care of the lunatics in the family.

And someone like Elliott, who stays sober, leaves town to fight some extraordinary battles and provide income for the family so that the family can continue to operate for a long time.

Sometimes they are hired by warlords to fight, and sometimes they are hired by various churches on the South Road to do some dirty work.

As a "lawyer" path Extraordinary who has good combat power after Sequence 8, they never have to worry about not being entrusted.

Only the Rose School of Thought would not accept jobs from them, and of course the Rose School of Thought would not ask them to entrust them, because although the Balk family and the Rose School of Thought were not adjacent to each other, they were mortal enemies who would fight with their lives when they met.

Elliot looked at her sister: "I think I may have found a way to save the family. Even if I sacrifice myself, I will try my best to break free from the curse of the family. You will be fine, and everyone will be fine."

At this time, someone shouted in the distance: "Elliott! It's time to go!"

Elliot shook her sister's hand, which was full of weeds and dirt, and then left without looking back.

Moira watched her younger brother walking away with a smirk, two lines of tears unconsciously flowed from the corners of her eyes.

……

At [-]:[-] in the morning, on Gaspin Street in Backlund's East District.

Wearing a light windbreaker and carrying a cane, Hobert looked at his pocket watch again. Miss "Arbitrator" was already 10 minutes late.

Another cab came and the door opened, and Hobert finally saw Hugh.

Hugh jumped out of the car: "Sorry, I'm late."

Hobert smiled and said, "No, it's just that I came early."

He saw Xio staring at the two dark circles: "Didn't you rest well yesterday?"

Xio looked around cautiously: "Yes, I can't sleep well every time I change my pillow."

There were no seven or eight Extraordinary beings to control him as soon as he got off the carriage, as Foer thought.

Naturally, Hobert would not have thought that Xio and Fors changed their residence overnight, and took turns to rest until midnight.

Hugh and Hobert walked side by side for a certain distance, and Hobert suddenly turned his head. On the street behind him were only workers walking quickly to work, and a homeless man slumped in a corner.

Hobert looked natural, but whispered to Xio with certainty: "We are being watched."

Xio was taken aback for a moment, that's right, someone was staring at them, but the person who followed far behind had dark circles under her eyes and skin that was worse than her, and looked like she hadn't slept for three days and three nights fors.

　Thanks to [Ji Wanxi] for the 100-point reward.
