Chapter 331 Summary of the Role Played
Angel took a hired carriage to the vicinity of the East District. After changing into his own clothes in the safe house he had found, he returned to his home on Red Rose Street in the Bridge District.
Perhaps she was unlucky enough yesterday, but today her "good luck" pistol did not cause any accidents such as breaking the carriage axle or causing her to be stopped by patrol police, allowing her to reach home safely.
After washing up and having a simple dinner, Angel calmed down his excitement, sat down at the table in the study, and recalled everything that had happened in the past two days.
No, it wasn't just these two days. Ever since I came into this world four months ago, I'd exchanged glances when I first saw the shy newcomer at my doorstep, the ambiguity when I taught that rookie how to use a gun and close combat at the shooting range, the tacit understanding we had when we worked together to solve cases, the bewilderment when he invited me to a family dinner, the surprise when I received a handmade gift from him, the tranquility of enjoying a sumptuous dinner at his house after get off work, the anger when I saw him seriously injured, and the despair when I learned of his death...
Then came Backlund, and met another person who looked like him, until yesterday...
Based on Ms. Arianna's description of the function of the sealed object "0-08", she guessed that the magical object could not monitor everyone's every move, but instead used the people and things that the holder came into contact with and learned about to gradually "reasonably" arrange everything and make events move in the necessary direction.
After arriving in Backlund, he joined the Witch Cult and came into contact with Triss, who bore traces of being "set up." This likely put him within the sight of this mysterious object. Although he possessed the "Secret Holy Symbol" that could counter divination, it only made it difficult for them to recognize him as the deceased Nightwatchman from Tingen City, not to completely disregard him.
Once any unreasonable behavior is done, it may be discovered again at any time and written into its "story".
So the person he had contact with was Sherlock, and it could only be Sherlock.
Presumably, the other party thought the same thing, so he cooperated with me and pretended not to know me.
She forced herself to suppress the upturned corners of her mouth and put on a serious expression.
In order to distract herself, she began to summarize the gains from yesterday's battle and the hidden dangers left behind.
First, she dealt with the "Apostle of Desire," a Sequence 5 Beyonder who posed a significant threat to her and, by extension, Sherlock. Although this Beyonder, determined to ascend to the High Sequence, primarily aimed to assassinate Duke Negan and secure a ticket to the High Sequence, she had already forged a grudge against him by killing his demon dog. If he were to ascend to the High Sequence, his first move would likely be to return and cause trouble for them both...
Secondly, through spiritual communication and herding, Sherlock maximized the value of the "Apostle of Desire". He seemed to have learned about a mysterious organization that he didn't even dare to speak out, and he obtained three good extraordinary abilities through the "Rose Necklace". As for the suitcase containing gold pounds, Angel didn't have much hope.
Finally, after last night, Angel discovered that nearly half of the "joy" potion in her body had been digested, more than ten times what she had digested herself... This made her happy but also a little worried.
During the "Assassin" and "Instigator" stages, she progressed very quickly due to repeated roles. However, when it came to the "Witch" of Sequence 7, even with several public performances and multiple roles as the "Fortune-telling Witch", it still took her two months to digest the potion.
And at this stage, without any experience or prior role-playing, how could she possibly digest the potion so quickly?
Is there something wrong with the way he plays the role, or is the person he plays very special?
Now that she had calmed down, she also gave a corresponding summary of her performance as Sequence 6 "Pleasure Witch":
According to Laura, the "senior", the key to digesting the pleasure potion is undoubtedly physical pleasure, but based on her experience yesterday, it seems that it is not absolute pleasure, but it requires resistance to one's own identity in the process, and at the final peak, to be relieved of everything and reconcile with oneself.
Thinking of her surprise and relief when she saw the amethyst pendant on Sherlock's wrist in the midst of her madness, she covered her cheeks in shame.
Is it really because of the special nature of the role played that the digestion process is so abnormally fast?
If that's the case, next time...next time I must...
No, there simply can't be a next time. I have too many magical items with strange negative effects on me. It's time to get rid of some of them.
Feeling the touch of the "Ring of Madness" on his finger caressing his face, Angel angrily took off the ring that had caused him so much harm, but after thinking about it, he carefully put this magical item worth 2,000 pounds into a bullet box that could isolate spirituality, and decided to find an opportunity to sell it.
Now possessing the Beyonder trait of the Faceless Man, she no longer valued the effects of the Madness Ring. Instead, its negative effects, which magnified various desires, became a source of distress. While the former lacked the strange psychological effects, the changes in appearance were tangible and could not be easily detected by Beyonder dogs or spirits. In some cases, it was even more useful than the ring.
The other ability that comes with it, "Frenzy", can also be replaced by other abilities.
Wait until Mr. A holds another rally and sell it there!
After deciding the final destination of the ring, Angel went to the basement again and boiled spiritual materials with her own blood, preparing to make a new magic mirror to replace the one damaged in the battle. During this period, she also put on the rose necklace and tried to use the soul of the "Apostle of Desire" in the pasture to test her newly acquired extraordinary abilities.
As she expected, the "dirty words" made the demon language "slow" appear in her mind. It would take effect as long as she said it out loud. Although it was convenient, it also had a great impact on her own mind while affecting the people around her, filling her heart with the desire for killing and destruction. No wonder every Beyonder in the "Demon" path was a cold-blooded, evil criminal. Perhaps being influenced by the demon's thoughts was the main reason.
There was no way to test her "Desire to Control," and her "Evil Sense" yielded no results either. This made her somewhat complacent. At least in Backlund, no one yet deeply resented "Erin Watson" or was even tempted to act on her hatred.
"Ka--"
As Angel was carefully studying the rose necklace, a half-length mirror placed in the basement made a slight sound like ice breaking, which attracted her attention.
This mirror was also coated with the communication potion she made. This was prepared to avoid "missing" the communications of the people she provided the potion to during the process of boiling the materials to make the magic mirror. Unexpectedly, at this time, someone actually contacted her?
She quickly put on the characteristics of the "Faceless Man" and turned herself into "Erin" in everyone's eyes. Then she turned the mirror to an angle, avoiding the cauldron of boiling ingredients, reached out to touch the mirror, and activated the potion on this side.
Unexpectedly, the person who emerged in the mirror was Audrey Hall, Miss Justice, who was also a member of the Tarot Club.
"Good evening, Miss Irene," Audrey's sweet voice came from the mirror. It was slightly different from when they were talking face to face, and it was deeper, as if there was a barrier between them. "I'm sorry to bother you at this time, but I need your help with something."
"Is it about the Psychological Alchemy Society?"
Angel immediately thought of what she had said at the Tarot Club. The members of the Psychological Alchemy Society once again found the girl who had been "tricked" into the Aurora Society and almost died, and tried to pull her into this secret organization.
"Yes, last weekend, that Alchemist I met once before, Stephen Hampres, a furniture dealer and psychology enthusiast, found me again and invited me to attend a Countess's ball tomorrow. There, another member will examine me."
Audrey's face showed a hint of caution.
"My father and brother have been preventing me from going out since I was in danger. Fortunately, this time I'm not going to a strange place, but to the home of an earl. I tried hard to persuade them. But to prevent any accidents, I hope you can come with me."
It seems that the experience of Ms. D becoming an acquaintance and deceiving her last time has left a big psychological trauma on this girl...
"Justice" had given "Queen" a lot of help at the Tarot Club, and Audrey was now Irene's friend, so Angel agreed without hesitation.
The two agreed on a meeting time for tomorrow. Angel was about to end the communication, but at this time, a lot of communication potion left on the edge of the mirror emitted a faint mist again, accompanied by a "click" sound, which meant that the other mirror had also activated the potion and was communicating.
"Sherlock, or Sherman?"
Angel was a little surprised. She didn't expect that two people would contact her at the same time tonight. Fortunately, Audrey was about to end the call. When Sherlock's face appeared on the mirror, Audrey only had time to say "Huh" before disappearing in a corner of the half-length mirror.
…
"Hey, Miss Irene, why did I hear..."
In Lord Hall's mansion in Queens, Audrey looked puzzled in front of her bedroom dressing table.
She seemed to hear a male voice coming from beside Miss "Queen" on the other side of the mirror, and a hazy figure also appeared in the mirror. Unfortunately, the communication potion had been exhausted, and her dressing mirror returned to normal, reflecting only her own expression.
This made her curiosity and desire to explore burn, and she almost wanted to apply the precious communication potion again to get in touch with the other party again.
"Susie, did you hear anything?"
She hesitated for a moment, and decided not to pry into other people's privacy in this way. Instead, she turned to her beloved dog lying beside her and asked in a low voice.
The big golden retriever squinted his eyes and looked at his owner, then stood up from the carpet and walked out of the bedroom with his limbs swinging.
After all, it's just a dog that knows nothing.
Audrey asked casually and didn't embarrass her pet. Seeing Susie pull open the door handle and squeeze out of the crack, she looked back at the dressing mirror that no longer had a communication function, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.
Tomorrow, I must find Miss "Queen" and ask her clearly!
