The torch like a human pillar illuminated Jenkins' face, but it still couldn't make the upside-down body reveal its real body. All the flames retracted into the palm of Jenkins, and the sea of flames approached the hanging shadow.
The squirming shadow resisted, cursed. On the ground, strangely shaped shadow creatures lurk and want to approach, and whispers come from the depths of the shadow world. Although this is nothing more than a shell after all, she seems to have inspired some kind of existence.
It's a pity that the woman hanging upside down fell from the sky before some kind of high-level strange creature in the depths of the Shadow Realm could detect the spirit into the material world.
Clouds finally drifted past Shuangyue, and the exposed moonlight illuminated the motionless mass of scorched flesh on the ruins.
"Even if it's just a shell, it's too fragile."
Jenkins muttered in his heart, stepping on tiles and pieces of furniture, quickly pulled out his gun and cane from the ruins, first confirmed that one of the three women had been crushed to death, one had been blown to death, and one had just been burned to death, and then retrieved the rope Waving to the cat on the tree:
"Don't leave your name behind when you do good deeds, go away!"
He yelled in a low voice, and after the chocolate ran over, he picked up the cat, and then quickly climbed over the low wall. The moment he landed, his figure changed several times, from a short and fat lady to a tall and thin gentleman Turned into a poor young man at the foot of the slope.
With a smile that didn't match his image at the moment, he stretched out his hand to pinch his face, maintaining a suitable expression, and then blended into the panicked crowd nearby.
"I'm really getting more and more proficient..."
Without going home right away, Jenkins left the block before the police surrounded him, narrowly missing a collision with an oncoming Night's Watch squad. After making a big circle in the urban area, he finally found Hathaway's residence on the bank of the river that he visited last time.
This noble lady cannot be called very rich, but she also owns several properties in Nolan. Jenkins stood in the shadows at the exit of the alley, patting the chocolate and letting it slip into the house to see if the red-haired lady was there.
Seeing the cat jumping into the fence with its tail flicking, Jenkins just felt that the inexplicable impulse to own a cat was so right.
He leaned against the wall and waited for a while, until the cigarette of the coachman sitting in the carriage in the distance was extinguished for the second time, and the iron gate in front of the garden was opened.
The maid I met last time grabbed the side of the apron with one hand, and the railing on the fence with the other, and looked around carefully. Jenkins hurried out from the alley.
"Is it over?"
In the slightly warm living room, there was a slight crackling sound from the fireplace. The maid brought tea and snacks, and then left very tactfully.
"It's done."
Jenkins sat with Hathaway in front of the fireplace, in a red upholstered armchair beneath him. After traveling so long on a cold night, it is so comforting to drink a cup of hot tea in front of the fire.
"It seems to be moving very quickly."
Hathaway watched Jenkins squinting his eyes and stroking the cat lying on his knees. He didn't see the sharp temperament on his body in the afternoon, and felt relieved.
"This kind of thing needs to be resolved as soon as possible. My friend also avenged me for the shot in the afternoon. But I still need to stay with you for a while, after all, I need to prove my absence."
The fire from the fireplace illuminated Jenkins' face, which was already young, but now seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light.
"Oh... um? Oh, cough, yes, Britney is strictly forbidden to go out by Marquis Mihail, I don't think I will have any guests here tonight."
Speaking of this, both of them remembered the embarrassing scene last night, and subconsciously avoided the topic.
"Would you mind telling me, is there anything to gain from what happened 'over there'? I'm also worried if it's going to happen again."
"I, I mean my friend, the 'twin demon' said that the maid who attacked us was from the Witch's House. There were two other people in Nolan with her, but they were both killed just now .One of them can use shadows to simulate the image of the high-ranking creature they worship, but it is not very powerful... "
"The Witch's House?"
Hathaway held her teacup and fell into deep thought. "I've heard of this illegal organization. It's made up entirely of women. It's been hiding its tracks since it committed a major crime in Beldyland three years ago."
"The big case three years ago?"
"Yes, you hadn't become a gifter at that time, so I didn't hear about it. But at that time, the most serious extraordinary event in the country at that time, although it could not be compared with Nolan City this year, the gifter of the Witch's House has since He never showed up again."
"Do you know anything about this organization?"
Jenkins asked again, "Since they worship the so-called upside-down shadow together, what is the purpose of their organization? After all, there must be a purpose."
"Yes, they claim that the object of their worship is the god of creation, and their purpose is to call the upside-down shadow to come to the world, so as to show the glory of the god... How should I put it, from this point of view, it is definitely not a god , because where do gods need help from mortals? At the same time, this organization is also committed to helping illegal female bestowers, which is good, but usually we don’t come into contact with such illegal organizations. The disgusting things they do There are so many things to do... "
Amused by Jenkins' puzzled look holding the cat, she naturally covered her face, and added after the smile disappeared:
"Members of the Witch's House are mostly in the upper class as the tutors of noble girls, ladies who came to the local area from foreign countries, and the youngest daughters of poor noble families. They rarely take the initiative to kill people. Today It was an accident. Seduction, deception and incitement are their main methods, and things like poisoning are more common. Therefore, you must be careful of those strange female bestowers recently... Forget it, let me tell you Whatever you do, you can’t…”
Jenkins felt that he was underestimated. He also had some female gifter friends, such as Hathaway, Miss Miller, and Miss Audrey... three is already a lot.
"So, have they found out why they targeted Marquis Mihail? I mean, my friend was cruel and merciless, and he only cared about killing people without looking for clues, so I still don't know what kind of information Marquis Mihaile has in his hands? "
Jenkins didn't have the nerve to say that he didn't find the information at all. In order to protect the face of his "friend", he lied that he didn't look for it.
"Not sure, but the importance should be great."
