Chapter 290 “Social Death Mirror” is worthy of its name!
Lick! Dog! Mirror!
It's you indeed, Arrodes!
Old Blue finally figured it out. It turned out that the outbreak of the "dog licking virus" around him was caused by the pathogen Arrodes! He couldn't help but shudder. Fortunately, he was normal!
Seeing that Fors was too shy to speak, he quickly said:
“Well, give our ladies of Storm some time to think about it! But once again, on behalf of Storm, I bless you!
"Back to the topic, now, the first step of the plan has been completed. We have successfully aroused the devil dog's vigilance, so it will definitely commit the crime on the third day between the 'ritual' interval... which is tomorrow.
"Next, we can proceed to the second step of the plan... Daly, are your seals ready?"
Dai Li smiled confidently:
"Of course! Saint Anthony even approved a Level 1 Sealed Artifact!"
She stood up and knocked twice on the door inside the room. The door creaked open, and she saw steam filling the air. A huge bathtub could be vaguely seen, filled with hot water. The person soaking in the hot water was not a human, but a figure covered in silver-white armor!
Daly turned her head and said:
"Klein? Are you going to wear it? We need the wearer to ask questions... At the moment, it seems that you are the most suitable candidate for the 'Question and Answer Game'."
“Uh… no problem! Let me do it!” Klein was also very curious about this Level 1 Sealed Artifact. Its code name was “1-42,” which corresponded to Sequence 4 of the “Warrior” pathway, namely “Demon Hunter.”
Demon Hunters can remember and lock onto the enemy's breath, making the demon's hiding ineffective; in the process of hunting, Demon Hunters can even hide their own malice, making the "devil's" "premonition of crisis" ineffective! Therefore, it is a natural restraint against "demons"!
Klein avoided the clotted blood that slanted down the left shoulder of the armor and moved the armor out with his teammates. Strangely enough, even after being soaked in boiling water, the armor was still icy cold!
This is its negative effect. People who wear it can only last for 30 minutes at most. Once the time is up, they must immediately soak in hot water to avoid the cold air that can freeze a person's bone marrow!
With the help of his teammates, Klein put on his full body armor. At this moment, he felt extremely powerful, as if he could just wave his hand and send out silver rays of light to crush everyone present!
No! How could I have such an idea! Restrain! Contain!
"Very good, very handsome!" Dai Li nodded with satisfaction, and then said seriously:
"Hurry up! Try to minimize the negative impact!"
"Yes!" Klein replied in a muffled voice. He then took heavy steps and quickly reached the table. He grabbed the silver mirror and said:
"Dear Arrodes, my question is, who will Jack attack next?"
Even if Klein, wearing the "blood-stained silver armor", was making a plan that could endanger the life of the "devil", he would not be noticed by the other party!
This was everyone's plan. First they would determine the time when the demon dog would attack, then identify the next victim, and then set up an ambush nearby to eliminate the opponent in one fell swoop!
Is it troublesome? Very troublesome, but Sequence 6 Beyonders are always troublesome, especially demons that control people's hearts. It is even more difficult to lock them down when they hide in a big city. That is why Old Blue gathered the magical seals of the three major churches together to be sure to catch the other party.
Hmm? You said that Storm didn't produce any sealed items? That's a good point. Don't say that next time.
A scene still emerged on the mirror. It was a not-so-small living room with a uniquely structured fireplace, decorative carpets, and landscape paintings. A lady in a yellow dress was sitting on the sofa. She was about thirty years old, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a pretty face. She held a silver-inlaid palace feather fan in her hand. The picture froze on the lady's face, and the scene shattered and disappeared.
"The target is actually a lady with a respectable status and a good family income..." Daly frowned.
"I observed the mechanical pipes in the lady's house. She might be a believer in steam! Now that we know this, we must never let her get hurt!" Ikanser said solemnly.
"Calm down! No matter which god she believes in, we will protect her!" Old Blue said in a deep voice:
"Just, her name? How about asking again?"
Klein trembled and said in a muffled voice:
"I suppose I could try divination?"
At this time, several words quickly appeared on the silver mirror:
"The question is effective. The other party's name is Starlin Summer, and she lives at 17 Minsk Street, Cherwood District." The following is included and is free of charge!
"Now, according to the principle of reciprocity, you need to answer two questions for me."
Klein's face turned green under the armor. What's going on?! These are the two questions? You still want to recognize your master? Who is the master?!
The words are transformed to form a new sentence:
"First question: When you invited Fors Wall to dance, did you want a proper dance?
"Second question: Who is the heroine of your latest erotic dream?"
Swish! Everyone stared at the young man in armor.
Klein's entire body froze, as if he were a real "unmanned armor".
……
Dinner time, Minsk Street 17.
"It's a pity that you two are a couple, otherwise I could introduce you to men and women with good family conditions..." Mrs. Summer said regretfully to the two detective neighbors.
Peiman swept through the various dishes gracefully and quickly, and spoke clearly:
"You are so polite. Leonard and I are very honored to attend the dinner you hosted. Well, please don't mind us. Look, Lawyer Jurgen is still single. He may need your introduction."
Under Peiman's influence, Leonard's appetite and thick skin increased. He quickly ate the free food and nodded in agreement.
"Lawyer Jurgen is indeed a good blind date candidate, but unfortunately..." Mrs. Summer sighed:
"It is said that he has become the chief lawyer of a large company's legal team, with a weekly salary of more than 30 pounds... He is no longer a class that young women in our circle can climb. To be honest, if lawyer Jurgen suddenly said that he wanted to move to the West End, I would not be surprised."
"30 pounds!" Peiman exclaimed. Why would that "perpetual motion machine" cost so much money? Obviously, the people who study this thing must be very particular about it!
Leonard also took a few more glances at the young lawyer who was surrounded by young women and chatted with them. Attorney Jurgen said a few words to the women around him, then came to the quiet detective duo with a glass of wine. After greeting Mrs. Summer, he said to the detectives:
"Mr. Sherlock, Ms. Watson, are you free recently?
"Well, I was impressed by the talents of the two detectives, and when my employer asked me if I knew any reliable detectives, they were the first ones that came to my mind.
"Yes, there is a commission, the minimum reward is... 100 pounds."
"100 pounds?!" Mrs. Summer's voice was sharp and her expression was out of control for a few seconds. Fortunately, she had seen many big scenes and quickly controlled her emotions. After apologizing to the three people, she left this small circle.
She picked up her silver feather fan, waved it a few times, and began to calculate how much she could buy with 100 pounds. Well, it wasn't much. Luke's annual salary was about 450 pounds... Our income was also...
Mrs. Summer was silent for a moment, then began to fan her feather fan again.
