Lord of the Secret Art!

At eight o'clock in the evening, the sky had completely plunged into darkness.

The workers at work returned to their homes after a tiring day.

And the rich or the nobles returned home early. It is already winter, and the weather is too cold after nightfall.

The cold wind blew across the street like a knife, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street.

However, a carriage appeared outside the house where Ariel Soto stored the corpse.

The carriage is pulled by two white horses, and the carriage door is open.

Looking inside from the carriage door, you can see Flynn, Lindy, Julie, and Ivy.

"let's start!"

Lindy looked at Flynn who was holding the Clock of Yesterday and said.

"yes."

Flynn responded, turned the yesterday's clock over, and put it on his lap.

Behind the Clock of Yesterday, three knobs can be seen.

One of the knobs is noticeably larger than the other two, with a butterfly shape for easy two-finger gripping.

This is the clockwork knob, which is connected to the elastic structure. It is this kind of spring that allows the clock to run without electric drive.

Of course, today's Clock of Yesterday is already a cursed thing, containing extraordinary power, even if it doesn't wind up, it will keep going.

The remaining two knobs are smaller than the mainspring knob and are located side by side under the mainspring knob.

They are the hour and minute hands of yesterday's clock.

"It's 8:00 p.m., and it's been about 99 hours since I met Ariel Soto here."

Calculating in his mind, Flynn turned the knob on the left counterclockwise, and immediately saw the hour hand of yesterday's clock start to rotate counterclockwise.

As the clock of yesterday rotated in the opposite direction, weird changes appeared.

The sky outside suddenly brightened, suddenly it was dawn.

But that's impossible, it's 8pm and there's at least 10 hours before dawn.

Looking carefully, the brightened area is about ten meters away from the center of Felin's carriage.

It wasn't dawn, but the sky became brighter within a dozen meters around Felin and the others.

If you look closely, you can even see some weird pictures.

Birds flying across the sky actually fly backwards.

A stray cat that passed by occasionally was actually walking backwards.

This is because Flynn activates the clock of yesterday, time goes back, and the surrounding images are going backwards.

lap.

two laps.

...

seven laps.

eight laps.

The hour hand rotated eight times, and the surrounding images have returned to 4 days ago.

Flynn stopped turning the hour hand and turned the minute hand on the right instead, because it was almost time for him to meet Ariel Soto.

Sudden.

A carriage came from the street opposite them, and the driver of the carriage was a man in black, about thirty or forty years old, with dark skin.

Flynn recognized this man, and this man was the one he saw that day, carrying the corpse with Ariel.

Then this carriage is self-evident, and it is naturally the carriage that Flynn once smelled of corpses.

Seeing this carriage, Flynn immediately stopped turning the minute hand.

The three of Lindy also understood that this carriage was probably the carriage that Ariel Soto was riding in, and they all looked sharply at this carriage.

The carriage collided with Flynn's carriage, but there was no sound of the collision, but it passed through and stopped outside the house.

After all, it is just an image of the past, so it is naturally intangible.

From inside the carriage, Ariel Soto appeared with a blindfold on his left eye.

Jump out of the carriage, come to the door, open the door with the key, and push the door open.

The man in black drove a carriage and entered the courtyard.

"Flynn, follow them."

Lindy said eagerly.

The range that the clock of yesterday can affect is only more than ten meters. If it exceeds this range, Ariel Soto will not be able to be seen.

"I know."

Flynn quickly jumped off the carriage and followed Ariel Soto into the yard.

Lindy, Julie, and Ivy followed him and also entered the yard.

"Not only is he extremely talented in the mysterious spear, but he also has the talent to learn the second secret technique!"

Walking at the end of the three, Ivy looked at Flynn's back with surprise.

Because she was a member of the same team as Flynn, she was allowed to participate in this operation, and thus learned that Flynn had acquired the eye of the secret art appraisal.

Felin raised the mysterious gun to the second ring in just a month, which already surprised her, but she didn't want to be even more surprised that Felin had the talent to practice the second secret technique.

Possessing two kinds of mystical talents is a necessary condition for the realm above the twelve rings. Doesn't it mean that Felin has the possibility to reach the realm above the twelve rings?

This person in her group actually possessed such a talent, which really shocked her.

Entering the courtyard and "locking" the courtyard door, Ariel Soto and the man in black began to move the corpse from the carriage to the basement with the huge blood hexagram.

During the process of moving the corpse, Ariel Soto and the man in black were talking to each other.

However, although they could see the video, they couldn't hear the sound, so they couldn't hear what they said.

"Julie, what did they say?"

Lindy was already prepared for this, she looked at Julie and asked.

Because of her photographic memory, Julie has a strong learning ability and has learned a lot of skills, including lip language.

Although it is impossible to reach the master level of these skills and turn them into secret techniques because there is no corresponding master level talent, they are enough for daily use.

"Ariel Soto said that these corpses are very important... Lady Minavale wants them, and they must be handled with care without any damage."

Looking at the opening and closing mouths of the two, Julie tried her best to read what the two said through her lips.

"Master Minaval? In other words, there are indeed higher-level cultists above Ariel Soto..."

There was a thoughtful light in Lindy's eyes.

According to the investigation of Ariel Soto, she had suspected for a long time that Ariel Soto was just a clerk in the Gnaw Tooth, not the highest-ranking Gnaw Tooth member in Constant City, but now it has been confirmed.

Above Ariel Soto, there is at least one higher-level cultist, and this cultist's name is Minaval.

There is no doubt that they have obtained very important information.

Following the image of Ariel Soto, I went back and forth a few times in the basement, but I never got any useful information.

The corpses have been transported, and the images of Ariel Soto and the two are already driving the carriage and preparing to leave.

The four of Flynn quickly boarded the carriage and followed the carriage where the two of Ariel were.

"Let the carriage coincide with their carriage."

Lindy instructed the absolutely trustworthy coachman, who is a veteran, to speed up a little so that the carriage they were in overlapped with the carriage that Ariel Soto was in.

With this, they were able to see Ariel Soto in the carriage again.

In the carriage, Ariel Soto sat alone on the seat. Because he was the only one in the carriage, he didn't speak, but just sat quietly.

Even so, the four of Flynn were still staring at the image of Ariel Soto, fearing that they might miss any important information.

After about ten minutes.

Suddenly, Ariel Soto's face in the carriage changed suddenly, as if he had heard some bad news.

"The time is close to the time when I sneaked in and encountered the eyeless monster. It should be that he discovered the eyeless monster and was killed by me."

Flynn explained to Lindy and the others.

The three of Lindy nodded and understood the reason, and continued to stare at Ariel Soto.

I saw Ariel Soto whose complexion changed suddenly, his face fluctuated, as if he was struggling with what to do.

After struggling for a moment, Ariel Soto opened the curtain and spoke to the man in black.

"What did you say?"

Lindy asked hurriedly.

"He told the man in black to change direction, not to return to his residence, but to go on another route..."

Julie replied.

After saying this, Ariel Soto returned to the carriage and sat in the carriage, with a look of anxiety faintly visible on his face.

More than ten minutes later, the carriage carrying Ariel Soto stopped at an abandoned street with no one there.

Ariel Soto opened the curtain and said something to the man in black, who bent down and entered the compartment.

Pooh!

As soon as the man in black entered the carriage, Ariel Soto covered the man's mouth with one hand, and stabbed the man in black with a dagger in the chest with the other hand.

Blood splattered.

Although he couldn't hear the sound, he could imagine the sound of the heart being pierced and blood splattered.

The man in black struggled a few times, became weak and fell down without moving.

Ariel Soto put down the body of the man in black, wiped off the dagger and the blood on his hands on the body of the man in black, said a word, and walked out of the carriage.

"Don't blame me, I can only blame you and me for being unlucky and exposed."

Julie quickly translated what Ariel Soto said through lip language.

The four of Flynn got out of the carriage and chased after the image of Ariel Soto.

I saw Ariel Soto, who stepped out of the carriage, quickly left the abandoned street, lowered his head to avoid pedestrians on the street, came to an old street, and entered a suite of a low-rent apartment.

This should be one of his hidden residences, but the previous search did not find it.

"The door is locked, the other party should not be here anymore!"

The four of Flynn could not help but cheer up, thinking that they had found the hiding place of Ariel Soto.

But soon they found out that the door was locked, and it was from the outside, and there was no one in the house.

"Ivy, destroy the lock!"

Lindy gave instructions to Ivy, and Ivy nodded slightly, and the cross gemstone on the ring on her right hand shone with golden light.

Accompanied by the dazzling golden light, a golden cross lightsaber appeared.

Click!

With a crisp sound, the iron lock was cut off and fell to the ground.

The four entered the room, and in the room, the image of Ariel Soto was walking back and forth, looking very anxious.

The four of them searched the room, looking for clues related to the Gnawing Fang.

However, apart from some clothes and simple daily necessities in the room, there are no clues related to the Gnawing Tooth.

Ariel Soto walked back and forth anxiously for half an hour, and it was already night outside.

Ariel Soto stopped walking back and forth, opened and closed his mouth, and said something to himself.

"Julie, what did she say?"

Lindy hurriedly asked, and her intuition told her that Ariel's words were extremely important.

"He said that the only way to escape the search by the Security Bureau is to hide with the adults!"

Julie quickly replied.

"Could it be that the lord in his mouth refers to the Minerval mentioned earlier?"

Ivy frowned.

"I can't be sure, he just said the adults, but didn't say who it is."

Julie shook her head.

The image of Ariel Soto put on a disguise, put on the clothes of an ordinary citizen, put on a wide hat that can cover most of his face, and left the suite in the night.

The four of Flynn hurriedly followed.

Leaving the suite, Ariel walked on the street where there were hardly any people to see because of the nightfall.

Go through one street after another, and finally enter the street where the surrounding houses are better decorated than other places.

"This is entering the Eastern District. The person he wants to meet lives in the Eastern District!"

Seeing better housing around the neighborhood compared to other streets, Flynn said.

"East District."

There was a cold light in Lindy's eyes.

Those who live in the Eastern District are either nobles and related persons, or rich people and related persons, that is to say, the lord mentioned by Ariel Soto is either a nobleman, a rich man, or their related persons.

...

There are two people in a luxuriously furnished room with a huge citrine lamp falling from the top of a place in the east district.

One of them was a well-built man, the man who murdered Ariel Soto.

The other was a lady with a seductive figure in a long black dress.

The long black dress has a V-neck, and the snow-white skin on her chest can be seen, which is infinitely tempting.

Holding a pure white cat in her hand, she is exactly what Ariel Soto calls "Lord Minaval".

The two were sitting on a sofa, each holding a glass of red wine in their hands.

On the tea table between the two of them, there was a bottle of red wine that had been opened.

This is a bottle of high-end red wine produced by the famous Rossell Winery with a history of 70 years.

Minaval gracefully brought the red wine glass to her red lips, took a sip, and left a clear red lip mark on the edge of the red wine glass.

The well-built man looked at Minaval, who was drinking gracefully, with fiery eyes, and his throat had obvious movements of swallowing saliva.

He has met many noble ladies and had in-depth exchanges with many noble ladies.

However, there is no lady whose charm is comparable to the Minerval in front of her.

But Minaval is different from those noble ladies who will take the initiative to run to his bed with a hook, and is a person whose status in the organization is not lower than him, and it is not something he can get.

Sensing the fiery gaze of the well-built man, Minerval put the red wine glass on the tea table, as if joking.

"If the organization's plan can be completed perfectly, it's not impossible to spend a night with you."

"This is real?"

The handsome man's face was agitated, and the heat in his eyes seemed to melt Minerval.

"I've never regretted what I said, though."

Minaval smiled and looked at the well-built man.

"I'm afraid you have no chance!"
