Chapter 250 Chapter 248 Seeing the Mirror of the Past
"Great source of nothingness, please give me the right to use the mirror, please tell me where Hawkin Taylor is." Camus' fingers stroked the edge of the mirror, he looked at the slowly turning darkness in the mirror, his eyes gradually deepened.
"Gu..." As if the sound of boiling water came from outside the window, some black ashes mixed with black cement water slowly floated in from outside the window, they gathered together, and gradually a vague woman took shape in the dust, Camus looked at this unknown monster, his expression changed slightly and walked behind Lin.
"It's the ashes of the notebook, what is it going to do?" Fiona felt the breath of the notebook in the ashes, and she immediately told the origin of these ashes.
"Gu... Xin..." The ash monster looked at his body, and he opened his mouth and ooze out sticky black water. He slowly raised his head and looked at Camus's people. After spitting out a word from his mouth, he instantly melted into a pool of muddy water.
"What's going on? Was the notebook cursed by that orderly person? But if there is a curse, why didn't he do anything dangerous?" Lin looked at the puddle of black water on the ground with a serious expression. He squatted down and carefully observed the stain and commented.
"Ka..."
Suddenly, Camus' mirror made a crisp shattering sound. Camus immediately looked down and his face suddenly sank.
"My mirror is broken. Someone is warning me or blocking me through special means." When he saw the mirror shattered into a spider web, Camus handed the mirror to Fiona.
"I don't know much about Sequence 2. Tell me, if you want to achieve the results you see, what level the other party needs." Fiona looked at the completely shattered mirror. He closed his eyes first, not knowing what he was thinking, and then opened his eyes and spoke in a flat tone.
"I have a blasphemous rune. Low-level people of the same sequence cannot block my foresight. I don't know what way the other party used to block me." Camus wanted to say high-order, but when he thought about whether the other party was a high-order and would warn him, he could only answer vaguely.
"It is impossible for an ordinary makeup artist to affect me through the blasphemous rune, unless the other party has special means." After thinking about it, Camus added a sentence, and Fiona and the other two listened quietly.
"Could it be a seal?" Hearing Camus' vague answer, Lin touched his chin and spoke in a low voice.
"The other party is not alone, he has companions hidden in the dark. The other party can disrupt Camus's foresight, and the level must be not low. What are they going to do?" Fiona thought about it and her tone was a little heavy. At this point, she was a little out of control. The enemy hiding in the dark was more deadly, and how should they deal with this matter now? The other party disrupted Camus's foresight, which was a warning to him and himself.
"The other party has members of the makeup artist channel, or special seals." Lin raised his head slightly, he looked out the window, looked in the mirror, then touched the corner of his eyes, and spoke tiredly.
"The notes are a trap. This is the second death. And the information we get is really limited. This is really not the style of the Dark Raven. We were misled. If Camus hadn't reminded me, I would still suspect that the other party was a member of the Dark Raven." Fiona thought about it, turned around and sat down immediately, tapping the table with her fingers while speaking.
"We were careless. We did not check the notes carefully according to our past experience. If Camus hadn't found it early, we would have been corpses now." Lin's expression was frowning. He almost died today. No one would be in a good mood.
"Hawkin Taylor must be one of them, but how can we find this person from ten years ago? This is a difficult task. I even doubt that there will be no trace of her in the population files of Caldecott City." Camus also sat on the chair. He looked at a set of stains next to him and spoke in a low voice.
"A woman, a lawful person, can affect the profession and items of foresight. The second thing is that two difficult characters appeared. What should we do next time? The high-level officials of the Sanctuary, the Church of the Sun, and the Adventurer's Guild have not increased their personnel." Fiona rubbed her eyebrows and said another bad thing.
"It's simply unreasonable. Don't they know the situation here? I know they are going to send several stage four or even stage five. I have a strong premonition that this is a huge conspiracy." Hearing that his own organization would not send people to assist, Lin immediately cursed and slapped his palm on the table, his tone was a little frustrated.
"Fiona, you forgot one thing, Xiu Locke." Camus paused and continued to speak.
"You once told me that even if Xiu Locke, a key person to be trained, is bewitched, it will take a long time. So, is it possible that the person who bewitched him is his acquaintance? I think I need to check it." Camus thought about it and reminded.
"Also, the other party has a very clear information about these victims. Only people who have lived here for a long time can do this. He has a keen observation and emotional sense. The protagonists of these two tragedies fully meet the characteristics of anger and jealousy. As for why Xiu Locke mutated, something must have happened." Camus expressed his suspicion. This is the possibility he thought of in the past few days. Even if Anna didn't show up today, he would say it.
"Go check these people's backgrounds and social circles right away." Fiona nodded slightly when she heard this. This was indeed a high possibility.
"Ms. Fiona, the victim of the first death case is called Michael Long. He used to be the largest glass manufacturer in the city. For some reason, his capital chain had problems. In the end, the factory was acquired by someone and he was driven to the dock area. He lived by begging. Apart from his previous social circle, his social circle is very small now, and most of them are sailors and beggars." Sophia on the side slowly told Michael Long's living conditions. As she spoke, she picked up a pen and paper to record. Several names appeared on the paper, most of which were beggars. Ka frowned secretly when looking at the names on the paper.
"Have you checked today's victims? See if there are any related people. Also check the population files to see if there is a file on Hawking Taylor." Fiona also glanced at the names, and immediately turned her eyes back to look into Sophia's eyes.
"There will be results tomorrow. This is what we should do." Sophia spoke decisively and walked out quickly.
"Xiu Locke is from another place. His social circle in Caldecott City must be very, very small, but I have never heard him say who has a particularly good relationship with him. I am worried that this person is also a person in the dark." Fiona lowered her head and thought for a while, and spoke calmly. She and Xiu Locke had more intersections. Except for her, no one in Caldecott City had a good relationship with Xiu Locke, which made her have to suspect that he was also a person hidden in the dark.
"Can you see the past scenes?" Thinking of this, Fiona turned her head and looked at Camus. If she wanted to know who Xiu Locke had contacted, there was only this way.
"This is the ability of the Faceless Man. He can see part of the scene from the perspective of a bystander, but I have not advanced, so I don't know if it will succeed." Camus was silent at first, and then calmly said the possibility. After so many days of reading and understanding, Camus temporarily divided the ability of Sequence 2 Stage 2 into two parts. One is to change his appearance and voice, and the other is to see part of the scene in a certain degree with the help of a mirror, through the host's cherished objects, in the way of spiritual knowledge.
"Then try it. What do you need?" Hearing the feasibility, Fiona's eyes lit up. If Camus could find something, everything would be much simpler.
Camus lowered his head and touched his chin. He began to think about a problem. He was not worried about whether he could see everything about Hew Locke from the perspective of an observer. His soul scale was high now, and he had learned almost all the knowledge of promotion. He only needed potions. Gandalf and others were helping him solve this problem at sea. His only worry was whether he should listen to Anna's advice and stay away from this matter.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem? If it doesn't work, forget it. It's too much to force you to use the ability of stage two." Seeing that Camus didn't answer, Fiona asked again.
"I'll try it once. I need Hew Locke's personal belongings." After thinking about it, Camus decided to help them once. Whether it succeeded or not, he would only look at it once.
"I remember that Shu Locke's Bible is here. I'll get it." Hearing that Camus could do it, Lin stood up immediately. Shu Locke's remaining things were placed here. If there was anything close to him, it must be the magic book that Shu Locke carried every day.
"Okay..."
Camus nodded slightly. He looked around until he saw the water marks on the ground. He suddenly became curious about the reason for the condensed ashes just now. It seemed that he wanted to tell him something.
"Fiona, if the notes happened like this, what was the reason?"
Fiona looked up slightly when she heard it. He looked at the ashes and stains on the ground, narrowed his eyes, and spoke in a faint tone.
"Whoever wrote the notes, that's who did it. Although I don't know why she did it, how did you find it?"
Camus was silent when he heard it. The notes were written by Anna. She even reminded herself many times that it was dangerous. Although she knew what their purpose was, if she really wanted to convey something to herself, the notes must be the best carrier. So what exactly did Anna want to convey to herself? Camus immediately thought of the pronunciation of the ashes and read it out with a somewhat uncertain tone.
"Xin?"
"What?"
Fiona turned her head and looked over when she saw Camus utter a word inexplicably.
"No, I think it's just a prank." Camus smiled slightly and said something as if nothing had happened.
"Found it..."
Before she saw anyone, Camus heard footsteps in the corridor and Lin's rough voice. Camus turned her head and saw Lin walking over happily. In his hand was a golden book with a miniature sun on the cover.
"What a pity..."
Seeing this thing, Fiona's eyes were slightly lost. No matter what the reason, Xiu Locke was a qualified companion and a qualified ritual. After Xiu Locke used the Eternal without regard for the consequences last time, he changed his perception of this somewhat arrogant ritual.
"I need help with the ceremony. I need two tall floor-to-ceiling mirrors and three candles." Seeing the books, Camus said again. These are the essential items for the Faceless Man. She forgot to say it just now.
"All these storage rooms have them. I'll get them." Lin was stunned at first and then ran out.
After a while, Lin came in with a tall floor-length mirror. He also held three white candles in his hand. When Camus saw it, he immediately stood up and closed the curtains of the window. He placed the floor-length mirror at an angle, and the mirror was One side was facing him, and the other side could only be seen vaguely. Camus lit the candles and placed them in an inverted triangle in the middle. The room was lit by candles. Camus stood between the two mirrors, and his expression could not be seen clearly. .
No matter what you see, don't make a sound. Bystanders will always be bystanders.
Kamiao's voice gradually became serious, and he reminded him again.
"A bystander is a bystander, remember?"
"I understand." Fiona and Lin nodded solemnly when they saw Kamiao's serious expression.
