Saying Alex is funny doesn't mean his character. But Angel found that this Alex had a very strange aura. If the aura is likened to a halo, everyone else is covered in a layer of gray, but Alex is as bright and dazzling as the sun.
Because the only power Angel can use now is illusion, he didn't see why Alex had such an aura that was completely different from others.
Angel simply began to observe this Alex.
In the process of observation, Angel also noticed that this Alex seemed to be able to see himself, and when other people's eyes glanced at him, they were all unaware because of the illusion of blindness. But when Alex's eyes glanced at him, although he concealed it well, the slight reaction in his pupils still betrayed him.
Is this Alex an extraordinary person? However, it looks a little different.
Angel thought that Alex would always pretend that he couldn't see him, but he didn't expect that when all the people in the church left, he took the initiative to talk to himself.
"Are you a ghost?" Alex asked again.
Angel stared at Alex, the white-haired boy who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old. When facing himself, he had no other emotions, no fear, no surprise, just curiosity.
If this is a child of four or five years old, naive and ignorant, that's all. But Alex is obviously very thoughtful, but his mind is not on others, but on himself.
When dealing with foreign objects, even outsiders, there is an attitude of "it doesn't matter what is or doesn't matter".
With Angel's appearance, it was not easy for him to show a trace of curiosity.
"Have you ever seen a ghost?" Angel asked rhetorically.
"It seems that you are not a ghost." Alex said very firmly.
"Your observation is very keen." Angel nodded noncommittally.
Alex continued to answer Angel's previous question: "I don't know if I have seen a ghost, maybe I have, my heart told me so."
"Is it because of amnesia?" Angel remembered that the priest named Bron Lang seemed to have mentioned that Alex lost his memory.
"Eavesdropping is not a polite behavior." Alex said softly, and continued: "It is indeed a relationship of loss of memory, I don't remember what I have experienced, but I tell in my heart. I, the old me, may have seen ghosts."
Alexton paused: "Mr. Pat, have you ever seen a ghost?"
"I have seen."
Angel made an assertion without hesitation, which made Alex a little absent-minded, and muttered in a low voice: "So, there really are ghosts in the world?"
Angel thought that Alex would ask about the ghost, but he quickly cleared his mind and didn't ask anything, but said: "That Mr. Pat is not a ghost, what is it? Why can't other people see it? your turn?"
Angel: "It's normal that other people can't see me. I think you should ask: why can you see me?"
Without any hindrance, Alex followed Angel's words and asked, "Why can I see you?"
"I don't know either." Angel replied with a smile.
Alex was startled by this malicious reply, and the corners of his calm mouth couldn't help twitching.
Angel really doesn't know, but he thinks it may be related to Alex's lost memory, maybe he used to be an extraordinary person. After all, the transcendent's inspiration is very strong, and the blinding illusion that he casts is actually very low-level. The simple use of illusion energy does not involve the level of "law". Ordinary talented people can detect something wrong, and it is not difficult for wizard apprentices who have entered the door to see themselves.
Angel: "I'm curious, don't you feel scared when you see a person that others can't see?"
Alex: "If you're going to kill me, you have a lot of chances; if you don't kill me, why should I be afraid?"
After Alex finished speaking, he didn't even pay attention to Angel, but sat down and took out a piece of paper to record some words.
"The inference of Knight Raven's cause of death?" Angel whispered and muttered to himself: "So, the current clergy have even started part-time detectives to solve the case?"
Alex continued to hold the pen, rustling and writing quickly on the paper.
However, the content of it is very brief. It only lists the name of the Raven Knight, and then on the other side of his name, Faxie's name is written, and "Faxie's birthday gift" is marked at the bottom.
Alex thought for a moment, and finally crossed out all the characters and wrote a place name: Holy City.
"Where is the holy city?" Seeing that Alex was starting to focus on his own affairs, Angel planned to walk around the church and leave, but he didn't expect that Alex finally wrote a place name.
What Angel was looking for was the location information, so he asked directly.
Alex put down his pen and looked at Angel in doubt, as if he was a little surprised that Angel didn't know the Holy City.
Alex was silent for a long time, and instead of asking Angel's origin, he asked, "...Why did you follow me?"
"I want to ask you for some information." Angel did not hide it.
"what's the message?"
"Location information." Angel pointed to the word "Holy City" on Alex's page: "I want to know where this is, where is the Holy City, and what is the name of this continent? "
Angel's three consecutive questions made Alex's eyes move slightly: "Listen to your tone, are you not from this continent?"
"I don't know." Angel shrugged: "Didn't I wait for your answer? After you answer, I can be sure if I'm from this continent."
Alex looked at Angel quietly, always feeling that this strange person was full of mysterious unknowns.
"This is the town of Gust. It is said that it is to the southeast of the holy city. The holy city is an acropolis of the Holy Court of Kruya, and it is also the closest city to the town of Gust."
Angel: "It is said? Haven't you been there?"
Alex shook his head: "At least in my memory, I haven't been there."
Angel's eyes unconsciously looked at the page, the "Holy City" on it was clearly visible, and he asked casually, "You haven't been to the Holy City, so what do you mean by writing this Holy City? Or do you think , Is the death of this Raven knight related to the Holy City?"
Alex shook his head: "There's no evidence of that, it's just..."
When Alex said this, he was suddenly silent.
Angel was here to find geographic information, not to solve the case. He didn't care about the answer, and wanted to continue asking about the geographic location, but at this time Alex continued the topic he had not discussed before.
"It's just that I think it's not just Knight Raven, Miss Camelot, Uncle Mainy's family... This series of cases seems to have one thing in common." Alex secretly studied the causes of death of these people, Although he could not find the murderer, he found something strange. However, for some reason, he didn't tell Father Bron Lang, nor anyone else.
Now that Angel suddenly asked this question, Angel was a stranger to Alex and a stranger to Gust Town.
Therefore, he thought for a moment, and slowly revealed his desires that he had suppressed for a long time.
"Knight Raven has a lady he has long admired, named Fasy. He once told me that he wanted to confess to Fasy on her birthday. Later, I heard that Fasy said to her friend that if If she can go to the Singing Hall to listen to a sacred hymn on her birthday, then she will have no regrets in her life."
"The Auditorium of Anthem is in the Holy City. I believe that Knight Raven must know the news, and it will be Faxie's birthday in a few days, so he will go to the Holy City alone, but his head is on the bridge pier to the Holy City. , was found."
Angel didn't want to listen to the case analysis, but Alex himself was completely immersed in the case.
"Knight Raven is not a single case. There have been many cases before him, and all the dead have only one head left. The sheriff said that the murderer is an unbiased murder, but I don't think it's right, I found a The commonality, the cause of their death, was all because they were stepping out of Gust."
"Miss Camelot is going to the Holy City to visit relatives she hasn't seen for many years, and Uncle Maini's family is going to move to the Holy City... It is very likely that Knight Raven is going to the Holy City to buy tickets for Fassi's chant auditorium. "
"It's all like this. All the deceased are going to leave Gust Town. Whether it is intentional or not, as long as they step outside the range of Gust Town, they will die."
"The whole Gust Town is like a bird cage that cannot escape."
"As long as the bird wants to fly away, its wings will be broken by an unknown hand."
Angel was not interested in the Gust Town case at first, but with Alex's remarks, he became a little interested.
If what Alex deduces is true, all the people who died were actually dying because they wanted to leave Gust.
Well, this series of cases is indeed somewhat complicated.
After all, it's impossible for everyone to tell everyone else about their destination, but they ended up having no accident and everyone died. This is obviously not something that an ordinary murderer can do. Especially, Alex analyzed one of the dead. Her death was most likely due to a quarrel with her husband that night, and she was ready to leave Gust Town in a fit of rage; even if she could read minds It is impossible for wizards to perfectly grasp the movements of other people. People's hearts are volatile, and there are countless possibilities every second.
Which "murderer" can grasp everyone's movements without omission, even if they leave after an accidental quarrel, they can catch and kill people
Therefore, after listening to Angel, he felt that it might not be an ordinary case, or that the extraordinary might be at work.
"Everyone has an accident whenever they want to leave Gust. So, why do you think it is?"
After releasing his inner desire to express himself, Alex regained his calm look again: "I don't know either."
"Then you study these cases out of curiosity?"
Alex shook his head without hesitation: "I'm not curious."
