When Abby left the hotel, it was completely dark.
She headed west and soon came to Jinwutong District and found a house.
She found out the address from Councilor Maynard. The owner of the house was a wealthy businessman who ran a lead factory.
His son Panzi was a student in the Department of Archeology at Huoyin University. He was also one of the guests at the banquet on the night Sharon was assassinated. He also had a brief conversation with the disguised assassin.
Abby spent some time in Panz's bedroom and found one of his hairs among the many hair strands of different colors and lengths.
Through divination, Abis found Panz himself in the red lantern hall not far away, who was still eating, drinking and looking for sex in the hall.
She pretended to be a girl from the hotel, and soon she and Panz entered a guest room on the second floor.
It didn't take long for her to get a lot of information about Valeera Kaldwin from Panz.
Of course, not many are useful.
The most valuable clue he provided was information about another classmate——
Welch McGowan.
Including that Welch and Valeela were members of a group and had a good relationship, as well as Welch’s address.
Other than that, the rest of the content is just Panz's imagination...something about being burned at a glance, something about being severely humiliated, etc.
Maybe it was because she was holding back too much, or maybe it was the subtle association brought about by being a witch. In short, Abis just mentioned Valeela, and Panz poured out everything he knew like beans from a bamboo tube.
After that, he was useless.
In order to prevent the contents of the inquiry from leaking out, Abbys repeated her old trick and cleaned up Panzi.
Then, she went out from the window and rushed to the North District.
…
It was getting dark. In a hotel on the edge of the North District, Riggins, a member of the Secret Order, was standing in front of the bathroom mirror, smearing thick red, yellow and white oil paint on his face.
He will disguise himself as a clown and search for the whereabouts of the notes in the North District at night.
The connection between the silk cloth and the note was very weak, and his divination ability was not strong enough, so he could only narrow the scope to most of the northern area north of his residence.
It is really difficult to search for a small notebook in such a large area.
Riggins can only hope in luck... and the law of aggregation of extraordinary characteristics.
After skillfully applying clown makeup with a red nose and upturned corners of his mouth - a skill he learned while playing the "clown" - he lit a match and casually threw it towards the toilet. .
During this process, the flame of the match suddenly exploded for a moment, and Riggins disappeared from the room.
】
The streetlight outside the window flashed, and Riggins appeared on the deserted street through the "magician's" "flame jump".
He randomly chose a direction, and after several "flame jumps", he sneaked into a house and began a long and detailed search.
…
On the outskirts of Tingen, a house with a green lawn.
In early June, the garden was filled with flowers of various colors, paired with gray-blue roofs and dark red chimneys, which together formed an idyllic scene.
In the bedroom on the sunny side of the house, there is a desk behind the window, with an ordinary notebook spread out on it.
It seems to be an unfinished book, and the plot is still being deleted.
On the latest page, there are two lines of crossed-out text that are quite conspicuous.
If you distinguish carefully, you can vaguely see that the original content is:
"...Both Sirius and Hainas were worried that the Secret Cult who was good at divination would track them down. After discussion, they decided not to take this risk and sell the notes to others."
"(crossed out) Heinas happens to know a perfect candidate, the witch Valeera. She can easily complete the black divination ritual required to awaken the notes and help the chosen one, Klein Moretti, complete his mission. This It'll be a smooth start. (cross out)"
"The strange thing is that Valeela did not accept the arrangement. Why is this?"
"After the first transaction attempt failed, Haynes met Welch McGovern, a history student at Huoyin University through Sirius's introduction, and sold the Antigonus family notes to him as ordinary ancient books. "
"Afterwards, Sirius was attracted by the possible treasures on the main peak of Honakis, and began to go in and out of the Deville Library, looking through the corresponding information. He did not think there was any problem and left his real address and name. This is very consistent. His character.”
"It was during this process that he met Lanerwus who was looking through iron ore information and trying to carry out fraud."
"Sirius admired Langvus' hidden madness and cunning, and he decided to develop him into a member of the Aurora Society. Of course, before that, examination is inevitable."
"In order to make up for his negligence, Riggins, a member of the Secret Order, rushed to Tingen to track down the whereabouts of Antigonus' notes, but unfortunately, he always avoided the correct place during the search."
"..."
Next to the open notes, there was a rather ordinary-looking classical quill pen.
It seems that the author who worked hard to write a poor "plot" has finished a piece of writing, stopped writing and stood in front of the window to relax.
Suddenly, the ordinary-looking quill floated on its own, without any ink, and started writing new lines of text on the notebook, as if an invisible hand was holding it.
"In the process of tracking Valeela, the Witch of Pain, Abbys, obtained the address of Welch McGowan."
"There is no doubt that her existence is a huge threat to the Antigonus family notebook and to the chosen one, Klein Moretti, who is most suitable to awaken the power of the notebook."
"Ince Zangwill's story hasn't really begun yet, and it's already going to..."
Hearing the rustling sound of writing, the author standing by the window immediately became alert. He turned around and grabbed the hanging quill to stop it from continuing to write.
The author of the "plot" is a middle-aged man with dark blond hair, one blind eye, a deep blue almost black eyelid, a high nose, tight lips, and facial features as deep as a statue, without any wrinkles.
He is Ince Zangwill, the former archbishop of the Church of the Night Goddess, the "gatekeeper" who failed in promotion, and absconded with the sealed artifact "0-08" three years ago.
Ince Zangwill looked at the newly written content of the quill pen, thought for a moment, pressed his slightly pale palm on the note, and continued to write with the quill pen:
"It makes sense that the witch Abby, who was rushing to the North District, happened to meet Riggins who was searching for notes in the North District."
"For various reasons, the witch Abby developed a lasting malice towards Riggins, whom she met by chance. She pursued him relentlessly and no longer had the energy to pay attention to unnecessary things."
After solving the sudden accident, Ince Zangwill put down his quill and rubbed his forehead with his hands, feeling that most of his newly recovered spirituality had been consumed.
It’s not easy to be a “writer”——
This is his truest feeling at the moment.
