Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery
#115 - The qualities of an ace intelligence agent
The members of the Mysticism Research Society originally thought that Leumas was at least a Sequence 6, or at least a Sequence 7.
A place like the Colosseum should have Sequence 6 guards, and it was on King's Avenue. If he didn't have some magical ability or item after setting the fire, there was no way to escape.
But no one expected that it was just a Sequence 8!
Several members who were also Sequence 8 felt that they didn't have such abilities at all, and even suspected the accuracy of the "Hound's" information.
The "Hound" saw the gazes of the people around him and knew what they were thinking. To be honest, he was skeptical when he first heard the news.
But after understanding the specific situation, he understood that the Extraordinary Colosseum had procedural and venue loopholes. First of all, the venue was too large, and one or two Sequence 6s couldn't guard it at all.
However, the royal family and nobles could not send troops or station extraordinary forces in entertainment venues such as the Colosseum, so the extraordinary guards of the Colosseum were not very sufficient.
In addition, the Sequence 6 had been in a command position. It took half a minute for that Sequence 6 to react after Bishop was killed.
Later, Leumas started the fire, causing chaos among the nobles, which made the guards almost lose their ability to organize. The Sequence 6 was also unable to find out Leumas's location.
It was not until the "Punisher" arrived that order was restored.
It can be said that the response of the extraordinary guards was very unsatisfactory.
As for the reason, it is very simple. Since the Colosseum was built, similar incidents have never happened. Even if the guards had contingency plans for such incidents before, they have long been abandoned due to the lack of sufficient training.
Leumas must have understood a lot about this in order to use these loopholes to complete the assassination.
The "Hound" admired this assassin, but his job was to catch this assassin: "The news that Leumas is Sequence 8 is absolutely accurate!
"He is good at using an extraordinary weapon in the shape of a javelin, and he can also make a special incendiary bomb, which made the Colosseum guards a little caught off guard, so he escaped."
Of course, he wouldn't say too clearly the specific process of Leumas's assassination.
In addition, according to eyewitness descriptions, Leumas should have left using a magical item with "Travel". The "Hound" didn't plan to reveal this to everyone now, because in that case, it would be almost impossible to catch Leumas, and it is estimated that no one would be willing to accept such a commission.
At this time, the fat "Elephant" smiled and said: "This reminds me of a proverb said by Emperor Rosell, 'Clearly riding a horse but looking for a horse.'
"Being able to make extraordinary weapons, isn't this an important clue? When did the official extraordinary people become as stupid as those politicians? Otherwise, hire me to be your consultant... No, even a pig would think of this."
Everyone smiled. After all, the official extraordinary people present were a minority. Wild extraordinary people and members of secret organizations were very willing to watch such a scene.
The "Hound" said coldly: "I won't bother you. I'm afraid you're too gluttonous and will eat us into bankruptcy."
Without waiting for the "Elephant" to speak, the "Hound" continued: "A Sequence 8 is impossible to manufacture extraordinary weapons. We have investigated the source of those weapons, but similar-looking extraordinary weapons have not appeared in Backlund.
"We preliminarily believe that these weapons were not made in Backlund."
Odis had to thank the venomous "Fat Pharmacist" for letting him know a direction of investigation for the official extraordinary people.
This is why he sells extraordinary weapons very cautiously. After similar incidents occur, the official extraordinary people will not immediately suspect him.
Otherwise, just selling extraordinary weapons would not earn less than "Nangewood Dance Hall."
Of course, the "Leader" has also used some powerful extraordinary weapons. If anyone asks, he will say that they are weapons obtained from the God of Steam and Machinery.
The scene fell into a brief silence. After a few seconds, "Lion" Byron said: "Everyone, I will not accept such a commission. Those nobles have never regarded us as human beings.
"Besides, the scandals that noble did are enough for him to be sentenced to death."
The "Hound" said seriously: "I seriously suspect that you have a certain connection with Leumas!"
Odis thought to himself: You're right.
"You can come and investigate me, follow me." Byron smiled and said, "Wasting your manpower may help Leumas escape."
The "Elephant" smiled and said, "It is estimated that Leumas has already run away. Does he still need your help to escape danger? Besides, even if you accept this commission, you won't be able to find Leumas."
Faced with the "Elephant's" sarcasm, Byron was not angry at all: "What you said is right."
Seeing that "Lion" did not refute him, the "Elephant" felt that there was nothing interesting.
Next, no one expressed any opinion on this commission, so everyone started other commissions and transactions.
One of the commissions caught Odis's attention. It was a task issued by member "Wolf", recruiting two people to keep watch, requiring people who are very good at observing and can draw portraits.
When a member asked where to work, "Wolf" replied that it was on Pesterfield Street.
The Saint Samuel Cathedral of the Church of the Night Goddess is on that street. It is not only the largest Church of the Night Goddess in Backlund, but also the most important church of the Church of the Night Goddess besides the Amon Mountains.
First of all, ordinary extraordinary criminals would not dare to hide on this street, after all, the headquarters of the Backlund Diocese "Nighthawks" is also located there. Many "Nighthawks" team members come in and out every day, and maybe one day they will recognize the extraordinary criminal hiding there.
Then who is "Wolf" going to watch? A resident living on that street? Do ordinary people need very professional personnel to keep watch?
Odis keenly realized that this commission was very unusual, so he opened his mouth and asked: "'Wolf', I want to start a transaction with you."
"Wolf" immediately said in a correct attitude: "Please speak."
"Who are you going to track and investigate?" Odis paused and then said: "Name a price."
According to the usual practice, "Wolf", as a member who issued the commission, can not announce the details of the commission, but the reward he issued for the commission must be commensurate with the efforts of the accepter, otherwise no one will be willing to accept his commission again.
"No need to name a price." "Wolf" said helplessly: "I don't know who the specific target is either.
"This is a very well-paid task that I received. Although the content of the commission is very strange, the employer pays the money very happily, so I didn't ask too much.
"Yesterday, the employer asked me to recruit two more people to complete this task together, so I issued the commission at the meeting."
Odis frowned, which made him pay more attention to this matter: "Then let's trade your commission content."
"Wolf" nodded: "Okay, 10 pounds!"
No mistake, one head, one hair, one content, read it all at once!
Seeing that the "Leader" was so concerned about this matter, everyone began to pay attention to their conversation.
However, the next transaction was not made public. Obviously, "Wolf's" employer required confidentiality of the specific commission task.
Odis took out 10 pounds in cash and handed it to the waiter. The waiter sent the cash to "Wolf" and handed him a writing board.
"Wolf" quickly wrote on the paper on the writing board. After two or three minutes, the content he wrote was handed to Odis.
Odis looked at the somewhat scribbled handwriting: There are three commission contents. The first is to observe pedestrians with gun bags on the street, and draw portraits of those who often appear on this street; The second is to observe pedestrians with very deep pupils and draw portraits of those who often appear on the street; The third is to observe whether there are pedestrians with particularly pale faces. If such pedestrians are also equipped with gun bags, draw portraits.
After seeing the content of the commission, Odis immediately made a judgment: Someone is investigating the members of the "Nighthawks" team!
You need a gun license to carry a gun in Backlund, so there are not many pedestrians with gun bags. The key is that most of the people on that street go to the church to pray, and they usually don't carry guns.
People equipped with gun bags are likely to be "low-sequence" members of the "Nighthawks" team.
As for deep pupils, it is a change that occurs in the pupils of extraordinary people after taking the "Darkness" pathway potion.
And people with particularly pale faces and guns are likely to be "low-sequence" extraordinary people of the "Corpse Collector" pathway.
Without sufficient extraordinary knowledge or experience, it is really unclear about your specific observation target.
Especially for wild extraordinary people like "Wolf", they don't know that they are actually monitoring "Nighthawks".
Even if "Wolf" is discovered and arrested by the "Nighthawks", the issuer of the task will not expose himself.
However, Odis still said to "Wolf": "I want to trade the information of the task issuer with you."
The "Leader's" questioning made "Wolf" realize that the commission he received seemed very unusual. He smiled bitterly and said: "The other party has been wearing a veil, so I can't see his face clearly.
"And his voice has obviously been disguised, I'm afraid I can't provide you with effective clues."
Odis thought to himself: It really is like this.
He said: "Give me a portrait of him and describe your impression of him."
"No problem." "Wolf" said: "The reward is, please tell me if this commission is very risky? Or what should I pay attention to?"
Odis said: "Deal."
After four or five minutes, he got a portrait with a veil covering his face and a relevant description, and then said to "Wolf": "According to my judgment, it would be very risky for a wild extraordinary person to take this task."
Observing the area for a day or two might not attract the attention of the Night Watchers, but prolonged surveillance would undoubtedly raise their suspicions.
And for wild Beyonders, being noticed by official Beyonders usually meant being captured and used to test the abilities or negative effects of Sealed Artifacts.
Upon hearing the Leader's words, Wild Wolf decided to discontinue the assignment for the day. The other members who had initially been interested in the task also fell silent.
At that moment, the member Giraffe spoke up, "Leader, I've acquired two more pages of Emperor Rosell's notes, and they're definitely genuine."
