Champagne Street in the North District runs north-south, and its southern end extends to the Golden Indus District, connecting to a wider main road.
There were very few pedestrians on the streets in the middle of the night, and occasionally one or two carriages would pass by.
Abbys concealed her figure and walked along Champagne Street.
The coincidence happened at the intersection of Champagne Street and Beswick Street.
When she was about to arrive and pass by this intersection.
"call!"
There was a slight sound of wind, and the gas lamp at the intersection suddenly burned brightly for a moment. A man dressed as a clown in a formal tuxedo appeared from the flames and landed steadily on the ground.
"Flame Jump"...Sequence 7 "Magician"...is a member of the Secret Order!
Because Valeera showed the ability to disguise her appearance during the assassination of Sharon, Abbys was originally full of suspicion about the Secret Order. When she saw Riggins appearing, her first reaction was to control the other party for questioning.
Out of the cautious instinct honed during her "Assassin" days, Abbys did not act rashly.
She remained hidden and watched as the tuxedo clown sneaked into another house nearby.
Abby thought for a moment and approached the streetlight at the intersection.
About ten minutes later.
"call!"
There was another flash of gaslight, and the tuxedoed clown reappeared on the street.
This is what Abby has been waiting for.
She had already taken the small pocket mirror that she always kept in her pocket into her hand and held it behind her back.
In this way, its fine-pointed withered handle becomes a stabbing dagger.
The stabbing dagger, with its black flame wrapped around it, was stuck in the tuxedo clown's lower back just as he landed.
There was a muffled groan, and the figure of the clown in the tuxedo quickly became thinner, turning into a paper man, and was quickly burned to ashes.
"Paper man substitute"!
Riggins couldn't help but shudder as he appeared across the road, his pale and frightened expression covered by the thick paint on his face.

God knows how close he was to death just now!
Fortunately, he is already an old "magician" and can activate the "Paper Man Stand" several times faster than when he was first promoted, otherwise he would never be able to avoid this sneak attack.
After suffering such a big loss, Riggins immediately made a counterattack.
He raised his hands and snapped his fingers, firing "air bombs" one after another.
But the gorgeous woman who sneaked up on him just jumped high into the air to avoid the first wave of "air bombs" and became invisible again in mid-air.
Riggins tried blindly and fired a few more rounds of "air bombs," but obviously missed.
At this time, he felt the invisible threads restraining and teasing his body.
"Witch."
Only then did Riggins confirm the attacker's path.
He stretched out his hand and borrowed a stream of flame from the gas street lamp, burning all the invisible threads around him, and wanted to explain a few words.
The Esoteric Order and the Witch Sect rarely have anything to do with each other, and since he had only arrived in Tingen not long ago, he didn't think he had ever offended a Witch.
"Chi!"
Before he opened his mouth, a slender hand covered with a thin layer of frost once again stabbed a dagger with black flames into his lower back.
As if the previous scene was repeated, Riggins' figure quickly thinned again and turned into a paper man, which was quickly burned to ashes.
"etc!"
Riggins reappeared not far away and stretched out his right palm to stop the witch and said:
"Witch, I am a member of the Secret Order. If you have anything to say, please... cough, cough, cough!"
Before he finished his sentence, Riggins suddenly started coughing.
Feeling the faint burning sensation in his lungs, his heart was shaking and the pressure increased sharply.
"Aura of Pain"!
The “Painful” Witch of Sequence 5!
How could there be a strong Sequence 5 person in a small place like Tingen? !
Without having time to think too much, Riggins used a magician's technique to quickly take out a match and light it, thereby activating the "Flame Jump".
As soon as his figure appeared next to a streetlight in the distance, he flashed again and disappeared.
After several "flame jumps" and the gas lights on the street flashing several times, Ibis lost track of the tuxedo clown.
There is a gas street lamp every 50 meters on this street, which is almost perfectly suitable for the "Flame Jump" of the "Soothsayer" path. Abby does not have the corresponding fast movement ability, so she cannot catch up even if she wants to.
She paused regretfully, but not annoyed.
Unfortunately, the first blow, which was most likely to seriously injure the opponent, was avoided by the opponent using a "paper man substitute" and failed to work.
But that doesn't mean she has nothing to gain.
One of the gains is that the other party revealed his identity as a member of the Secret Order;
In addition, the other party has been infected with the "disease" she spread, and she can use this as a clue to continue tracking.
Abby stood on the street and thought for a while, but decided to track down the tuxedo clown first.
Between ordinary people and extraordinary people, it seems that extraordinary people will have more clues.
…
The next day. Tuesday, June 5th.
Tingen Morning Post, Tingen Candide and other newspapers all reported a piece of quite weighty news.
Alderman John Maynard, a strong contender in next year's mayoral election in Tingen, was found dead last night in a hotel room in the East End.
It is reported that the preliminary examination result is that Congressman Maynard died of a sudden illness.
Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature, and this does not seem to be a big problem.
For most people, this is indeed the case; but for the Kim Odong District Police Department, the situation is completely different.
Because, also last night, there was another case of death also caused by a sudden illness.
It's just that the deceased's influence was far less important than that of a senior congressman, so it was not reported.
More importantly, the experienced Inspector Toler saw more connections between the two at a glance——
They were all closely related to the murder of Mrs. Sharon.
This is the continuation of Mrs. Sharon's case, and it is another incident involving extraordinary power!
The news was delivered to the Nighthawks Squadron on Zotland Street last night, before being delivered to the newspapers.
The National Police Agency originally thought that Mrs. Sharon failed to find the real culprit of the Nighthawks team last time, and that this time it would be a similar situation.
But to their surprise, Dunn Smith, the captain of the Nighthawks team, gave a portrait of the murderer almost immediately.
The explanation he gave was that this was the result of tracing the murder of Mrs. Sharon.
Of course, because the target is extremely dangerous, it is not appropriate to make the wanted order public.
Councilor Maynard's death can still only be concluded as a death from illness. At the same time, subordinate police officers are dispatched to conduct covert searches in the name of Chavas meter, warmth delivery in the neighborhood, etc.
That night, after sending away the police officer who reported the situation, Dunn sat in the captain's office, frowning and saying nothing for a long time.
This witch killed two people just one day after she appeared!
She is so unscrupulous, obviously very confident in her own strength.
Dunn felt a heavy pressure.
…
In the house at No. 6 Daffodil Street, Valeela spent peaceful days in fear.
During the day, she talks and laughs so much that no one can find a single fault;
But when she was alone at night, her delicate face was filled with sorrow.
Sometimes, just the slightest movement of Habi, who was on guard beside the bed, changing his position would wake her up.
Even with careful maintenance and adjustment of her physical condition, Valeela inevitably began to suffer from mild hair loss.
The pressure in her heart was getting stronger day by day.
