Chapter 206: Putting Pen to Paper



Above the endless gray fog, inside the magnificent ancient palace.

"We have discovered a distorted painting of the Lord of Storms, which is suspected to be left behind by a member of the Rose Redemption... Well, the Red Angel Medici is one of the founders of the Rose Redemption..." Klein sat on the high-backed chair that belonged to The Fool, quietly looking at the crimson star that represented The Hanged Man.

With the help of the other party's feedback, he could basically confirm that the evil spirit possessing Ince Zangwill was the "Red Angel"!

In the eternal silence, Klein sat silently at the head of the mottled long table, as if he had turned into a statue of a god.

After an unknown amount of time, he nodded imperceptibly and exhaled slowly.

His figure then disappeared and he returned to the real world, continuing his sleep. He did not think about any plans or anything related to Ince Zangwill.

After sleeping until dawn, Klein got out of bed and repeated his habitual actions of the past few days. He walked barefoot to the window and pulled open the curtains.

On the street outside the hotel, Danitz, dressed like a West Balam native but wearing an extra cloak, put his iron-black boxing gloves into his arms and hurried to the square on the right. According to his previous report, Klein knew that he would contact certain people in the local ruling forces today to understand their attitude towards the arms trade.

Anderson did not follow. He messed up his short blond hair a little more and walked slowly to the edge of the square. He found a place to sit down, then covered the black glove on his left palm with a funny rag doll and performed a puppet show for the passers-by.

Each person has a "puppet", each with a different voice, witty remarks, and mockery of each other, which is quite eye-catching.

The only problem was that they spoke Intis instead of Dutan, and few people could understand them. They just watched for a while and then dispersed.

Klein stared at the strongest hunter in the Misty Sea. His expression did not change, and there was no trace of contemplation in his eyes.

…………

East Balam, the temporary office of the Soest "Red Gloves" team.

Cindy, who had long burgundy hair, came in with a few telegrams and said excitedly:

"We have found some new clues!"

"What clues?" Soster put down the white glazed porcelain coffee cup in his hand. Leonard, Daley and others also turned their eyes to the door.

Cindy handed the telegram to the captain and said:

"Emperor Roselle's words, 'Wherever you go, you leave a trace,' really make sense. People who have witnessed Ince Zangwill have been found in several places, which constitutes a complete trajectory of his actions.

"From this, we can see that Ince Zangwill's thoughts seem to be very contradictory. He always approaches Intis's colony island, then moves away after a short stay, approaches again, and moves away again, as if he is doing, doing..."

Isn't this the inconsistency between Klein's words and actions? Leonard was delighted and took the initiative to help Cindy think of a good adjective:

“Wave motion.”

"Yes, yes, Wave!" Cindy breathed a sigh of relief and began to describe, "Also, Ince Zangwill has killed several spies from the Intis military and purchased several extraordinary materials. I don't know what he wants to do."

This... Leonard considered it for a moment and said:

"How did Ince Zangwill buy the extraordinary materials?"

"There are the 'Warrior' path, the 'Hunter' path, and the 'Singer' path." Cindy pointed to the telegrams that Captain Soster was reading.

As expected, there is a "Hunter" route... Leonard, who had been unable to find an excuse or an opportunity to let his teammates pay attention to clues related to the "Hunter", let out a silent sigh. He no longer had any doubts about Klein's guess and believed that it was the truth!

How to guide everyone to figure out the fact that Ins was possessed by the evil spirit of the "Hunter"... Leonard fell into deep thought until Soest finished reading the telegrams and distributed them to the rest of the team members. Only then did he have some ideas and decided to take a risk.

Before he opened his mouth, he subconsciously glanced at Daly Simone, only to see the lady dressed as a psychic slightly pressing her palms, signaling him not to be anxious and to stop trying.

Ms. Daly means that it is not the right time yet and we need to wait for a better opportunity? Leonard hesitated and saw Daly shaking the telegram in her hand, looking around and said:

"I have an idea."

"What idea?" Soest asked.

Daly smiled:

"I suspect that Ince Zangwill is possessed by an evil spirit."

This, this is what I said... I will be suspected! Leonard was shocked.

Without waiting for Soster, Cindy and others to ask questions, Daly said:

"Ince Zangwill used to be a 'gatekeeper' and is now a 'night watchman'. He can contain evil spirits in his body and borrow their power. Moreover, he has the help of '0-08'. If I were him, I would definitely use this opportunity to seek out more powerful evil spirits to maximize my own strength.

"In this way, when the evil spirit is not completely controlled and backlash occurs, Ince Zangwill will show contradictory behavior, which can explain the problem in the telegram.

"Besides, haven't we always wondered why Ince Zangwill contacted important members of the Spiritual Cult? We have all kinds of speculations about this. Asking them to help expel, purify or completely control the evil spirits may be his purpose!"

Soest thought for a while, then chose his words carefully:

"It's possible, but it's basically based on your subjective guess... How did you come up with this? What details gave you inspiration?"

Leonard was inexplicably nervous, while Daly laughed:

“It’s a female sixth sense, like I know what you, and you, are thinking at certain times.

“Moreover, since this is a discussion and analysis, we need to list all the possibilities and then eliminate them based on the actual investigation results. This will help us find the correct answer. Therefore, we need to think divergently and dare to put forward any idea, no matter how absurd it is!

"From the various details that have been fed back, I think my guess may be correct."

Ms. Daly is really good at talking. At least I am convinced... She took the initiative to speculate about the evil spirit possession. Was it to protect me who has a secret and bring the risk to herself? In the matter of Ince Zangwill, she seemed willing to take on everything... Leonard suddenly realized something and sighed.

After hearing Daly's answer, Soest nodded slightly:

“Indeed, since this is a discussion, we cannot limit our thinking.

"The possibility of evil spirit possession is really high. I will report to His Excellency 'Eye of the Goddess' and let the Archbishop and senior deacons arrange the follow-up investigation. After all, we know too little about '0-08'."

…………

"The Red Gloves team led by Soest discovered something unusual about Ince Zangwill from the telegrams sent back from various places. Daly Simone used this to propose the hypothesis of evil spirit possession, which was widely recognized.

"She claimed that it was a reasonable guess, but in fact she already knew something from Leonard Mitchell, who had a 'parasite'. Leonard Mitchell's information came from a letter sent by Renette Tinicole. Who could the sender be?

"At the same time, Leonard Mitchell and Daly Simone have already suspected that the evil spirit possessing Ince Zangwill belongs to the 'Hunter' path..."

An old-fashioned feather pen without ink seemed to be held by an invisible hand, writing quickly on an ordinary notebook.

Suddenly, a slightly pale hand reached out and grasped the quill.

The owner of the hand had dark gold hair and deep facial features like a classical statue. One eye was dark blue, almost black, and the other was covered with tiny but obvious blood vessels.

He lowered his wrist and continued writing:

"But is this the truth? Will everything develop as Daley Simone, Leonard Mitchell, and the Soest Red Gloves team expected?"

…………

A place abandoned by God, the city of Noth where lightning cannot illuminate.

When those figures looked over at him silently, Derrick was startled and almost stopped shining and hid in a place that was not facing him.

However, the training he had received since childhood and the experiences of the previous year kept him from panicking or rushing to finish the task. He suppressed his fear and waited for the chief to give him the next order.

In Colin Iliad's eyes, two complex dark green symbols stood out, taking in the streets in the mist and the seemingly normal figures that did not make any noise.

Suddenly, he groaned, knelt down on one knee, and held the two straight swords inserted into the ground with both hands.

The dark blue skin on the back of his neck swelled slightly, and indescribable complex mysterious symbols emerged, half illusory and half real, spreading to a higher or lower level.

At the same time, the "shepherd" Lovia also groaned in pain, raised her hands, covered her head, and spat out several clumps of squirming flesh and blood.

On her palms and body, a faint silver armor appeared strangely, almost overlapping with her.

"Stop, Demon Hunter," Colin said in a low voice after a second.

Derrick quickly turned off the lighting, allowing the thin mist to cover the figures, and allowing the deathly silence to cover the ancient city of North again.

Everything soon returned to its previous state. Colin Iliad slowly stood up and looked intently at the tall towers, churches and other buildings that were faintly visible in the mist.

"This place is quite different from when I first explored it. I don't know why it has changed like this. Demon Hunter," Colin retracted his gaze and looked around at the team members, "What are your opinions and ideas?"

The "shepherd" Luo Weiya had already squatted down and picked up the pieces of flesh that had fallen earlier, but she didn't rush to stuff them into her mouth, chew and swallow them. She took the initiative to speak:

"We can change direction and explore other entrances to North City. Maybe we can find something."

She had remained silent and watched the entire time, but this was the first time she expressed her thoughts and put forward her own opinions.
