In the east side, a townhouse in a narrow alley.

Duckholm, the gang leader who controls many beggars and thieves, is boringly throwing darts at the target on the wall, while waiting for the servants to prepare dinner and bring it up.

"Squeak" the door rang.

Duckholm followed the prestige and was about to reprimand the servant for being too slow and making himself hungry, only to find that the one who walked in from the bedroom door was not his own maid with a bit of beauty, but a unique wide chin. And the strange man with dark green eyes.

"Who are you?" Duckholm yelled, taking out the revolver from his gun pouch.

But before he finished his movements, he felt an unimaginable pressure, and felt that there seemed to be a stream of electric current running through his spirit, connecting into a whip with thorns, and continuously beating his soul.

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

Therefore, Duckholm immediately fell to his knees.

He only felt that facing this man was like facing the increasingly powerful "arbitrator" Hugh Dilcha...

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

As his thoughts flashed, the gang leader who always had an affinity smile on his round face suddenly lowered his head and said flatly, "Is there anything you want me to do? Just give me orders."

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

"Who asked you to investigate the missing tramp?"

Duckholm seemed to be relieved when he heard the words, and then replied without hesitation:

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

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

"I don't know... She just gave me 10 pounds for the investigation fee..." Duckholm didn't dare to lie, and quickly explained all the tasks Xie had given him.

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

"Tell me more about the bounty hunter and her residence."

Duckholm had no idea of ​​concealing for Hugh, and replied one to one:

"Hugh Dilcha is a very famous'arbitrator' in the Eastern District, Wharf District, and Factory District. He is trusted by the poor from the poor to some factory owners. Even many gangsters will ask her to come forward for'arbitration' when they have disputes. ...

"In addition, she has a close relationship with Backlund's ‘Hero Detective’ Abner Bryan and often eats breakfast together...

"Furthermore, it is rumored that she has actually become an official spy...but this is just a rumor, and I can't guarantee that it is correct."

"'Hero Detective'...secret? Is it MI9?" The man muttered to himself, and then patted Duckholm's body with his left hand wearing black gloves, his tone without emotion, "Very good , Very honest."

Duckholm was quietly relieved after hearing this, thinking that his decisive knowledge of current affairs had just helped him.

At least his life was saved this time.

But at this moment, he suddenly saw the man's left gloved fingers spread out, and a mouth was cracked in the middle!

Duckholm's thoughts instantly solidified, and his body instantly turned into a mass of flesh and blood and plunged 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 did not see the owner, only a pile of clothes scattered on the floor.

...

City of Tingen.

At 7:30 in the evening, using the haunted incident disguised by Mr. Azik, Klein, who successfully loaned the "Mutated Sun Sacred Symbol" and made two "Sun Flame Charms", finally arrived at Zotland Street and handed in the seal. "3-0782".

After confirming that the captain had not found an abnormality, 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 obviously less than twenty, wearing a gray and white old dress, working hard to wipe the restaurant.

She has black hair and brown pupils, small eyes, an insufficient nose, and very ordinary features.

Who? Klein was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that this might be a chore maid who was trying to do housework.

At this moment, 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 kind of trauma." Klein responded with a smile.

After receiving the 300 gold pounds offered by Mr. "Tower", Klein's confidence was ample. He leaned on his cane, took off the top hat, and walked to the living room. Then he looked around and asked curiously:

"Where is Melissa?"

"She has a party in the evening, and Miss Elizabeth and Miss Selena just sent someone to pick her up... Don't worry, I have confirmed that there is no problem. Moreover, she will not come back too late. You have to give it to my sister. Leave some social space for yourself." Benson replied with a chuckle.

Girls gathering... Klein nodded slightly, but still a little worried, so when he went to the bathroom with an excuse, he untied the silver chain in the left cuff, let the citrine pendant hang smoothly, and said silently:

"Melissa is now in danger."

...

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

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

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

Benson watched his brother fork a mashed potato pork sausage, and said thoughtfully, "Klein, you have been going to the bathroom a little bit more frequently recently... I suggest you go to the hospital to take a look...

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

"I heard a friend say that the powdered medicine sold in a folklore herbal shop on Flade Street works well... 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 a herbal shop opened by a suspected Extraordinary? But when I checked last time, that store had already changed hands... Could it be that the person who took over was also an Extraordinary? Well, check it out another day.

Thinking like this in his heart, Klein said perfunctorily: "The original owner of the herbal shop is no longer there."

"So you've already been there." Benson was stunned when he heard the words.

Klein suddenly felt that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he changed the subject and said, "Why did Melissa and the others meet?"

"It seems that Miss Elizabeth and Miss Selena’s girls’ public school came to a new teacher. Well, it’s a lady... They are picking up the teacher. Melissa is a friend. Invited to the past.

"Hehe, I heard that this lady is also from Backlund, but unlike the one named Kopstee in Melissa’s school, this teacher is said to be very skilled, and it took less than a day to It won the favor of most girls in public schools." Benson replied after thinking about it.

That's it... Klein nodded slightly, then put the mashed potato and pork sausage to his mouth and took a bite.

At the same time ~lightnovelpub.net~In a restaurant on Tingenhauers Street, a group of young girls raised their cups together, talking and talking:

"Welcome Teacher Lina to Tingen."

"I wish Teacher Lina always young and beautiful."

"Teacher Lina, cheers."

Sitting at the top of the table, a beautiful lady with a very scrolly temperament smiled and watched this scene. She raised her cup to salute, and then drank the drink in it.

...

Backlund, after having dinner with Ms. Fanny, Abner took the stack of "Roselle Manuscripts" and returned to his home on Kingster Street in the Jowood District.

Back in the bedroom, he asked Mrs. Scarder to prepare drinks and desserts, and then he sat and lay on the sofa in a comfortable position.

Then, he pulled out a page from the stack of diaries, took a sip of a drink, and read it.
