Chapter 178 Follow-Up Thoughts

"Call the police?" Fors Wall repeated in surprise.

For a Extraordinary, actively calling the police seems to be a matter of another world.

Xio took a few steps back and forth, grabbed his rough blond hair and said:

"The scene of Darkholme's death was so horrifying and weird. As long as the police still have eyes, they will definitely transfer it to the Punisher, the Nighthawks, the Mechanical Heart, or the special department of the military. , let’s reveal a little bit more information, let them know that the murderer is Qilingus, and we can create a scene of a city-wide hunt.”

"Our purpose is to find Qilingus, not to catch him. With the 'help' of so many Extraordinary people, things will be much simpler and safer. Once Qilingus becomes flustered and makes a mistake, that is Our chances of getting a bounty, huh, I mean finding his trail."

Xio laughed dryly, looked at the stunned Forsi and said:

"Could it be that in your heart, I am a person who will bump into obstacles even if they see them? The gap between us and Qilingus is as big as the Dixi Bay."

Forsi nodded slowly and said:

"Your perception of yourself is very correct. You have done too many similar things, and the losses you suffered due to this are enough to allow you to be promoted to Sequence 8."

"Fortunately, you are sensible enough in this matter."

Xio looked down at the triangular thorn in his hand, and said in a deep voice:

"...I must confess that I clearly felt the approach of death just now, and Qilingus was undoubtedly nearby. It was an aura that was evil enough to break the rules, and I had an instinctive reaction."

Forsi put on the silver bracelet with two stones left, thought carefully for dozens of seconds and said:

"I agree with your idea, first inform Miss Audrey, and then call the police."

"Well, whether Darkholm discovered the traces of Qilingus or his subordinates found it, we can investigate from this direction to find out the scope of Qilingus' previous activities and where he lived."

Xio wrinkled his thin golden eyebrows and said:

"But Chillingus certainly won't stay where he is."

Being one of the seven pirate generals, and being assisted by magical items, Qilingus had to be cautious enough in Backlund.

Even Nast, the "King of the Five Seas", once encountered disaster here and was almost arrested.

"No, I mean, from these clues to speculate or determine the purpose of Qilingus coming to Backlund, as long as we understand what he really wants to do, no matter how he pretends or tricks, he will eventually be exposed to us , In that case, our task will be completed." Forsi explained in detail, "The experience of writing novels in the past two years tells me that if I grasp the key, things will become simpler."

Xio looked at his friend in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that the other party could say such reasonable words.

"I'm different from you. I'm just too lazy to think, but you rely on your muscles to think." Fors pursed her lips and tilted her head to smile.

"Laughing at me won't make you smarter..." Xio tried hard to soften his blond hair, "Okay, let's go to Queens and tell Miss Audrey about this.

"

Forsi lightly nodded and said:

"So, what is our emergency contact method with Miss Audrey?"

"..." Xio was at a loss, looking at the tombstone in the distance, "She told me that her pet dog, that is, the golden retriever we saw before, would go out for a walk by itself at least five times a day, um, recently The first one will be after lunch."

"That is to say, we have to wait secretly outside Earl Hall's luxurious residence?" Forsi's mouth twitched.

Xio turned his head abruptly, showing a flattering smile:

"Forsi, or do you just sneak in?"

"I don't think this will trouble you. This is your specialty."

"A hereditary earl for hundreds of years, one of the most influential members of the House of Lords, the largest shareholder of Bavat Bank, the fourth largest shareholder of Backlund Bank, a special advisor to the Royal Bank of Loen, the No. The three major shareholders, the second largest shareholder of the Conston Coal and Steel Consortium, etc., etc., this is Miss Audrey's father's prominent status, Hugh, use your brains, will such a big man hire Fan Fan at home? Are there any private possessions? This is different from those dilapidated viscounts and barons!" Fors replied angrily, "I swear in the name of God, as long as I dare to sneak in, I will be found within five minutes ,caught."

Xio nodded frequently, expressing approval:

"Let's wait for that golden retriever..."

After finishing speaking, she led the way, and after walking a few steps, she turned her back to Forsi and said;

"Well, well, I will try my best to make up for your loss in the future, um, I mean that stone."

Hearing this sentence, the corners of Forsi's mouth slightly raised:

"I'm saving myself."

"Also, Hugh, you're going in the wrong direction!"

"God, if you are an 'apprentice' and become a 'traveler' in the future, then, that would be a disaster!"

…………

Outside Earl Hall's luxurious villa.

Xio and Forsi hid behind the Intis plane tree, quietly watching the target building and people coming and going.

After an unknown period of time, they saw the big golden retriever sneak out from the hidden hole at the bottom of the wall, with its ears pricked up, looking around very carefully.

Just when Susie started to walk briskly and joyfully, a black male dog jumped out suddenly, courting and circling.

"It's the first time I know that a dog can have such a human expression on its face, how much does it hate that black dog?" Xio sighed in a low voice.

She saw obvious disgust in Susie's eyes and facial expressions.

Forsi smiled and said, "It's like meeting a pervert who is reckless, disgusting and entangled."

Seeing Susie trying to speed up and get rid of the black dog, Hugh stood up and maintained "justice".

"My verdict is, leave it!" Xio shouted with a serious expression.

The black dog froze for a moment, then fled in embarrassment with its tail between its legs.

Susie breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down, whined politely, and wagged her tail.

It was so dangerous, so dangerous, I almost said "thank you" to them... The golden retriever thought happily in his heart.

That would be very embarrassing...

…………

The melodious melody stopped slowly, and Audrey, who was sitting on the piano bench, frowned beautifully with the latest information that Xio and Forsi had passed on.

She closed the piano cover, stood up gracefully, and paced back and forth in the piano room, thinking about what she should do next.

"Qilingus is a very dangerous guy... If we continue to investigate, it is very likely that Xio and Fors will encounter terrible things... It will even expose me... Well, just do what they say... Ah Yes, there are still two hours until the Tarot Club, I wonder if Mister Fool has any suggestions, if he is still not interested, I will discuss it with the Hanged Man..." Audrey gradually calmed down.

This is the first time she has encountered, or personally participated in such a dangerous thing, and a human life has already occurred!

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Audrey, whose vision recovered from the crimson and hazy state, once again saw the boundless gray fog that did not belong to reality, the palace that seemed to be the dwelling place of giants, the ancient and mottled bronze long table, and the eternally covered The Fool in the thick mist saw the "Hanged Man" and the "Sun".

In an instant, Audrey's slightly tense and anxious emotions were calmed down, and her heart was so stable and determined.

I am participating in the "Tarot Club" that is not in the material world, and I am facing the god-like Mister Fool. I am not at the same level as Qilingus at all... Audrey straightened her back proudly and raised her head slightly. Chin, greeted cheerfully:

"Good afternoon, Mister Fool! Good afternoon, Mister Hanged Man! Good afternoon, Mister Sun!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Klein saw that Miss Justice signaled that she had something to say, so he nodded slightly in agreement.

"Dear Mister Fool, do you know if your favored one has received the 000 gold as compensation?" Audrey resisted the urge to immediately tell about Qilingus' matter, and said a word of concern to her leader's favored one.

Klein smiled lowly and said:

"I didn't pay attention to this matter, but since my favored person didn't ask for additional help, it should have been received."

Yes, I have repeatedly confirmed that there is 00 gold pounds lying on my unregistered account... Klein quietly added in a happy mood.

"This is really great!" Audrey felt relieved, and turned to look at the opposite side, "Mr. Hanged Man, the matter of Qilingus has progressed."

Alger sat up straight and couldn't hide his joy and asked:

"where is he?"

"Unfortunately, as soon as we discovered his traces, he became aware of our investigation and killed the relevant personnel." Audrey recounted the key points of what happened to Xio and Fors, and explained in detail their follow-up train of thought.

Alger nodded slightly and said:

"I'll be watching closely."

After finishing speaking, he looked sideways at the top of the long bronze table, and said under the gaze of Derrick "The Sun" who was dazed and didn't understand:

"Respected Mr. Fool, if you find out what Qilingus' real purpose is and what is the very important and very miraculous item he is trying to obtain, please allow me to recite your name and tell you with a ritual."

He didn't ask the other party's favored person to help again, because since he had already said it and the fool had given an answer, there was no need to be verbose, otherwise the gods would be offended.

Therefore, Alger only expressed his desire to "report".

If the final temptation is enough, he believes that Mister Fool's favored one will definitely appear.

this is okay too? Audrey's eyes widened.

If I had known that I would also apply for the right to "report", then I might be able to occasionally get guidance from Mister Fool... She thought with a little annoyance.

In the eyes of everyone, Klein leaned against the back of the chair in the thick gray fog, nodded slightly, and replied slowly:

"Can."
