Chapter 235 "Chance Encounter"
Following the reminder of the remaining spirit, Angel, who had just determined the target location through divination, quickly arrived at Iris Street in the Cherwood District and came to the villa that appeared in the divination.
In order to avoid getting lost due to the negative effects of the "Master Key", she simply climbed onto the roof, shuttled between different buildings, and arrived here in almost a straight line.
Combined with the divination during the day pointing to "Mr. Capin" and the other party's background as a wealthy man, Angel can be sure that this villa is Capin's residence and the place where he hides the missing girl!
This villa, which occupies a large area, is heavily guarded. Even late at night, there are two diligent guards patrolling back and forth at the door. They have bulging waists, obviously equipped with pistols, and even lead a snarling vicious dog.
Angel did not alarm them, but walked slowly through the door. He felt the guard's eyes on him, and then quickly relaxed his vigilance because of his gender. The hunting dog grunted twice and was led away by the guard on a leash.
One of her hands hung naturally, holding the "Scarlet Eye" in her palm. All living things within a radius of fifty meters with herself as the center, which she perceived spiritually, appeared in her mind, including the residents who had fallen asleep on the other side of the street, the guards patrolling in the villa garden, the servants still busy inside, and the residents sitting or lying upstairs.
Several of them were brighter than the others, almost turning into dazzling bright red human figures.
Perhaps, they are extraordinary people different from ordinary people?
Quickly identifying and memorizing the living creatures inside and outside the villa, Angel walked through the main gate and left the sight of the two guards.
In just ten seconds, the side effects of using this contaminated eyeball began to appear. She gradually heard rustling whispers in her ears, and her head seemed to be pierced and stirred by steel spikes, and the street scene in front of her became blurred.
Without hesitation, she immediately handed the "Crimson Eye" to her other hand and stuffed it into the pocket of her cloak.
After losing contact, the various illusions in my ears and eyes did not disappear, but they were no longer getting worse.
Angel walked around the outer wall of the villa with unsteady steps and came to the back alley. He leaned against the wall and rested for a few minutes before he came to his senses.
After using meditation to regain her spirituality, she took out the "Scarlet Eye" again, held it in one hand, and sensed the human figures moving inside the villa from the back. She continued to use these short ten seconds to memorize their movements and find out the weak points of the guards.
During this time, Angel discovered a large basement under the villa. There were seven or eight human figures inside, who were obviously shorter than adults. She guessed that these were Emily and the other girls who were imprisoned.
The basement is connected to the villa by a walkway. There are people patrolling inside and some guarding the door directly. It is heavily guarded and difficult to break in.
Moreover, near this basement, Angel's sensing ability obtained through the "Scarlet Eye" was obviously weakened. It is very likely that there is some magical item or the special ability of an extraordinary person protecting this place.
After using the Crimson Eye five times and resting for about an hour, Angel thoroughly understood the distribution of people inside the villa before leaving the street.
She had no intention of returning home. Instead, she planned to find an empty house first, use the "master key" to open the door and enter, perform a few divinations there, confirm the details of the suspected Beyonders in the villa, and then capture a patrolling guard for questioning.
Emily is still in the basement now, but that doesn't mean she will still be there tomorrow, or even in a few days. If she is transferred to another place after dawn, or even sold to a brothel as Detective Moriarty said, and suffers more harm, Angel will not be able to forgive his hesitation and indecision.
Going back to Iris Street from the back alley, she pinched her "Scarlet Eyes" and quickly checked the situation in the row of houses across the street from the villa, preparing to find a deserted place.
"Huh? There's actually a bright red figure here that looks like a Beyonder?"
Through spiritual perception, Angel discovered that in a two-story house facing the villa's gate, a bright red human figure similar to the Beyonder in the villa appeared on the second floor. He seemed to be sitting on a chair, facing the window, observing the villa across the street.
Could it be a secret sentry in the villa?
Angel was delighted, knowing that his divination and interrogation could be directed at this unfortunate guard.

In his spirit state, Klein placed the last item he had wrapped in his body in its designated location, examined it, and prepared to return to his body.
Originally, after using the Azik Copper Whistle to stabilize his spirit body, he could carry lighter objects, such as the Pure Black Eye and certain talismans, but he could not wrap or carry objects heavier than a revolver, and the distance and time he could leave the body were also greatly limited.
And yesterday, well, to be exact, it was the day before yesterday. After obtaining the "Blasphemy Card" that Russell disguised as a bookmark, by wrapping and containing this magical item that recorded all the potion formulas of the "Black Emperor" path, and strengthening my own spirit through its high status, I can now carry heavier objects and do more things in my spiritual state.
Looking at himself, enveloped in the mist and clad in majestic armor, Klein couldn't help but smile.
Now, I truly possess some kind of high-level power, instead of just relying on the gray fog that I cannot control, playing the role of a "fool" who is my own boss and my own follower.
Moreover, this blasphemous card is against divination and prophecy. Unless someone happens to have their psychic vision turned on, they cannot see me at all, nor can they sense the threat of spiritual premonitions.
After finishing the "summoning" to himself, he instantly got rid of the state of "Black Emperor", returned to the space filled with gray fog, and sat down on the high-backed chair in the palace.
Before leaving the gray fog and returning to his body, Klein went over his plans for tonight in his mind.
In the afternoon, while searching with Angel for the truth behind Mr. O'Neal's suicide, he had already confirmed through divination that Capin, the wealthy man rumored to have kidnapped young girls, was the culprit behind Emily's disappearance and the O'Neal family's "suicide."
But considering that Angel was currently hiding under a false identity and he had to be wary of "0-08" and Ince Zangwill, it was inconvenient for him to recognize them, so he did not tell her the divination results. Instead, he prepared to deal with the rich man himself and rescue Emily.
And through this action, you can also fulfill the role of "magician" that you imagined in your heart.
Near Kapin's house, after a series of divinations and using special means to communicate with one of Kapin's subordinates, Klein basically understood the situation inside Kapin's mansion and the approximate abilities of the Beyonders protecting Kapin.
After evaluation, he believed that he had no chance of winning in a head-on battle, but through preliminary investigation, complete preparation and reasonable planning, he could eliminate Capin's men and rescue Emily and the other kidnapped girls without affecting their safety, and also complete the grand magic show.
Only perform prepared performances and accomplish seemingly impossible things, this is my "magician's code"!
"Tomorrow, Angel, no, Miss Irene Watson, when she comes to meet me at my house, how surprised will she be to learn that Emily has been rescued and Capin is on the headlines?"
"That should be more surprising than seeing her always wearing a citrine pendant..."
Klein's smile widened as he thought of the scene when he met Angel during the day.
"But her pseudonym, Watson, sounds a lot like Watson. It's such a coincidence. Sherlock, Watson, um..."
As he pondered, he gathered his spiritual energy, left the gray fog, and returned to the second floor of his uninhabited house across from the Kapin mansion.
Feeling his body regain control, Klein opened his eyes.
Miss Irene in front of him was looking at him with a stern face.
