East District, a townhouse located in a narrow alley.

Dark Holm, the gang leader who controls many beggars and thieves, is throwing darts at the target on the wall boredly while waiting for the servant to prepare dinner and bring it up.

There was a knock at the door.

Darkholm followed his reputation, and was about to reprimand the servant for being too slow to make himself hungry, but he found that the one who walked in from the bedroom door was not his pretty maid, but a long-haired maid. A strange man with a unique wide chin and dark green eyes.

"Who are you?" Duckholm shouted, and was about to take out the revolver from his gun bag.

But before he finished his movements, he felt an unimaginable oppressive force. He felt that there seemed to be currents rushing through his spirit, forming thorny whips, constantly beating his soul.

This "taste" is painful and numb, as if it originated from the depths of the brain.

Therefore, Darkholm immediately fell to his knees.

At this moment, he only felt that facing this man was like facing the increasingly powerful "arbiter" Hugh Dilcha...

No, he is much scarier than Hugh! At least Xio won't kill people casually, and this person in front of me...I always feel like he's going to eat me...

In a flash of thought, the gang leader, who always had a friendly smile on his round face, immediately lowered his head and said obsequiously, "Is there anything you want me to do? Just ask."

In the gloomy and dim environment, the man pointed the black glove on his left hand that wriggled like digestion, and asked Duckholm in a low and slow voice:

"Who told you to investigate a missing homeless man?"

Darkholm seemed relieved when he heard the words, and then replied without hesitation:

"It's a bounty hunter, Hugh Dilcha known as the 'Arbiter'."

"Bounty hunter? Why would a bounty hunter care about the homeless people in the Eastern District?" The man snorted coldly, and walked up to Duckholm step by step, and the feeling of being whipped in his soul came again. .

"I don't know... She just gave me 10 pounds for the investigation..." Darkholm didn't dare to lie, and quickly told all the tasks that Xio had given him.

The man was silent for a while, and then asked in a hoarse voice:

"Tell me about the bounty hunter in detail, and where she lives."

Darkholm had no intention of hiding it for Xio, so he replied in a straightforward manner:

"Hugh Dilcha is a very well-known 'arbitrator' in the East District, the Docklands, and the factory district. She is trusted by everyone from the poor to some factory owners. Even many gangsters will ask her to come forward when they have disputes. 'Arbitration'...

"In addition, she has a close relationship with Backlund's 'Heroic Detective' Abner Bryan, and they often have breakfast together...

"Furthermore, there are rumors that she has actually become an official spy... But this is just a gossip, I can't guarantee that it is correct."

"'Hero Detective'... secret agent? Is it MI9?" The man muttered to himself, and then patted Duckholm's body with his left hand wearing a black glove. His tone was emotionless, "Very good, very honest."

Darkholm quietly heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that the decisive awareness of current affairs just now helped him.

At least I saved my life this time.

But at this moment, he suddenly saw the man's left glove with five fingers spread out, and a mouth was actually split in the middle!

Dakholm's thoughts froze immediately, and his body instantly turned into a ball of flesh and blood, and threw it into that mouth.

After a while, the maid who fell asleep inexplicably brought up the reheated dinner with some fear.

She thought she would be severely punished, but when she opened the door, she didn't see the owner, only a pile of clothes scattered on the floor.

…

The city of Tingen.

At 7:30 in the evening, Klein, who successfully borrowed the "Mutated Sun Sacred Emblem" and produced two "Sun Flame Charm" by using Mr. Handed over the sealed item "3-0782".

After confirming that the captain found nothing unusual, Klein happily left the Blackthorn Security Company and returned home before eight o'clock.

He took out the key, opened the door, and suddenly saw a strange figure.

This is a girl who is clearly not in her twenties, wearing an old off-white dress, and is working hard to clean the restaurant.

She has black hair and brown pupils, her eyes are small, her nose is not straight enough, and her facial features are very ordinary.

Who? Klein was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that this might be a handyman who came to try to do housework.

At this time, Benson lowered the newspaper, looked at his brother, smiled and said:

"Companies that don't let employees leave work on time are always disgusting."

"But the salary it gives can heal this trauma." Klein responded with a smile.

After receiving the 300 gold pounds sacrificed by Mr. "Tower", Klein gained a lot of confidence. He leaned on his cane, took off his top hat, and walked to the living room. After looking around, he asked curiously:

"Where's Melissa?"

"She has a party tonight, and Miss Elizabeth and Miss Selena sent someone to pick her up just now... Don't worry, I've confirmed that there is no problem. Besides, she won't be back too late. You You have to leave some social space for your sister." Benson replied with a chuckle.

Is it a girls' party... Klein nodded slightly, but he was still a little worried, so when he excused himself to go to the bathroom, he untied the silver chain inside his left cuff, let the topaz pendant hang smoothly, and said silently:

"Melissa is in danger now."

…

After seven times, he opened his half-closed eyes and saw the citrine pendant spinning counterclockwise.

There is no danger... Klein immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he removed the spiritual wall and walked out of the bathroom in a relaxed mood, ready to have dinner.

Watching his younger brother pick up a mashed potato and pork sausage with a fork, Benson said thoughtfully, "Klein, you've been going to the bathroom quite frequently lately...I suggest you go to the hospital for a check-up." see...

Klein almost threw the fork in his hand when he heard the words. He was speechless for a while, then raised his voice and emphasized: "Benson, I'm healthy."

"I heard from a friend that the medicinal powder sold in a folk herbal store on Flood Street is very effective... If you don't want to go to the hospital, you can try it there." Benson turned a deaf ear to his brother's emphasis and continued to suggest .

Vlad Street? Isn't that the herbal medicine shop suspected to be run by Extraordinary people? But that store had already changed hands when I went to check last time... Could it be that the person who took over is also a Extraordinary? Well, I'll check it out another day.

Thinking so in his heart, Klein said perfunctorily: "The original owner of that herbal medicine shop is no longer here."

"So you've already been there." Benson was stunned upon hearing this.

Klein suddenly felt that he couldn't explain clearly, so he had to change the subject and said, "Why did Melissa and the others get together?"

"It seems that Miss Elizabeth and Miss Selina have a new teacher in the girls' public school, um, it's a lady...they are welcoming that teacher. And Melissa is I was invited as a friend.

"Hehe, I heard that this lady is also from Backlund, but she is different from the person named Copusti from Melissa's school. In one day, he won the favor of most of the girls in the public school." Benson replied after thinking for a while.

I see... Klein nodded slightly, then put the mashed potato pork sausage to his mouth, and took a bite.

At the same time~IndoMTL.com~In a restaurant on Tingenhauser Street, a group of young girls raised their cups together and said:

"Welcome Teacher Lina to Tingen."

"I wish Teacher Lina always young and beautiful."

"Ms. Lina, cheers."

Sitting at the head of the table, a beautiful woman with a bookish temperament watched this scene with a smile. She raised her glass in greeting, and then drank the drink in it.

…

Becklund, after having dinner with Ms. Fanny, Abner took the stack of "Rosell Manuscripts" back to his home on Kings Street in the Jorwood District.

Back in the bedroom, he first asked Mrs. Scudder to prepare drinks and desserts, and then half sat and half lay on the sofa in a comfortable posture.

Then, he took out a page from the stack of diaries, took a sip of his drink, and began to read.
