The warden who guards the witches

Sitting in the office, Aiden took out his pocket watch and took a look. The time agreed with Kyle was coming up. It was time for him to leave.

Although Kyle was in charge of the search, he had to temporarily unseal the restrictions imposed by the Inquisition if Kyle wanted to fully use the power of splitting into bats. He had the obligation to supervise the process.

Tonight's action was still a long way from being a sure thing.

The premise for them to catch the Death Agent tonight was that the other party would be active there today.

The most ideal situation was that they would follow the clues to find the other party's hiding place, and then inform Abigail to come and clean up.

But he also knew that everything would not always go as people wished, and the agent might also move to other places, but at the moment they had no better search direction at hand.

But... just in case, Aiden had an idea of ​​the possibility of an accident.

If the Death Agent was caught preparing to commit a crime, then I'm afraid they would have to focus on saving people.

It is indeed a foolproof approach to let Abigail kill the enemy, but watching the enemy kill innocent citizens who could have been saved... It will probably be difficult to call yourself a people's policeman in the future.

Considering Kyle's background and the special hidden means of the Death Agent, it may be difficult to get direct help from the Inquisition.

As for the prisoners in the prison, it is difficult to find a person who can defeat such an enemy - most of the prisoners will not be willing to carry out such a life-threatening task.

Although the Amalgam Golem showed a strong restraining effect when dealing with Father Valles and Sister Nevi who mastered the "reproduction" divine word, it may not play a big role against the Death Agent.

The Amalgam Golem can only use physical attacks, which are almost ineffective against high-level vampires with deformation and atomization abilities. Moreover, the opponent's "death" power can be effective against all living beings, which is a rare means that can threaten the Amalgam Golem. Even if it was Abigail who gave life to the amalgam golem, she would probably be injured to a considerable extent the moment she came into contact with it.

Moreover, their original plan this time was to search, track and monitor, and carrying a heavy amalgam golem would only get in the way.

If the situation was so bad that they had to fight it out by themselves, he would probably have to let the immortal Kyle take the lead and support him from the rear.

However, if the agent killed someone outside of the fireworks alley tonight, they would probably have no way to stop him.

After changing out of his uniform, Aiden left the prison through the side door, and then he took out a sealed glass test tube from his briefcase. The test tube was filled with gray-white fog, as if someone had taken a puff of smoke and sprayed it into the tube to seal it.

This was the hand that Ophelia gave him. In any case, it was too scary to put a severed hand in the bag like the villain killer in the comics, and the Inquisition and the Mounted Police had been patrolling and checking nearby recently, so it was inevitable that misunderstandings would occur if they were seen.

After Daly helped him add the familiar spell to Ophelia's hand and turned it into Aiden's familiar, Aiden controlled the hand to mist and enter the closed container.

After a brief thought, he opened the bottle cap and let a small cloud of mist float out.

"Transform." He opened his mouth and ordered the small cloud of mist.

The small cloud of mist that floated out turned into a black bat and lay on Aiden's sleeve.

Aiden resealed the test tube and stuffed it into his briefcase. He waved his sleeves and let the black bat fly to the nearby eaves: "Patrol around, follow me."

Only after transforming into a bat, Ophelia's limbs will have the sense of smell to detect the enemy. Since Ophelia insisted on helping, Aiden would naturally not waste this resource.

At least, he should also have a radar to detect the enemy.

Then, Aiden left the small path on the side of the prison and came to the main road. He strode to the nearby intersection. He and Kyle agreed to meet in a nearby coffee shop to discuss the details of the action before going to Fireworks Alley.

The public carriage came slowly from the opposite direction and stopped by the roadside. Aiden saw Veronica hurriedly jumped off the carriage, and then immediately stepped forward, speeding up in this direction with explosive power that even sprinters could hardly reach.

Aiden immediately understood the reason why the other party was in such a hurry - when he left the prison, it was actually past the time to sign in for the night shift.

In other words, Veronica was late today.

"Yo!" Facing the subordinate who was sprinting over, Aiden smiled and greeted him.

After seeing who was coming from the opposite side, Veronica was immediately shocked: "Ah!"

"Sir, sir!?" She immediately stopped in front of Aiden and saluted reflexively, her face a little blue.

"I told you that you don't need to salute outside." Aiden couldn't help laughing at his subordinate's nervous reaction. "Oh my, that's rare. This is the first time you've been late since you took office."

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry." Veronica, who was caught by her boss on the spot, lowered her eyes in frustration.

"Did you oversleep?" Aiden asked knowingly.

"No, really not! I... I'm not trying to make excuses, but today, the public carriage was blocked when it reached Silver Avenue. The Inquisition set up a checkpoint there to check all carriages and pedestrians going in this direction, which delayed a lot of time." Veronica muttered softly, with a bit of grievance on her face.

"After all, that kind of thing happened. The Inquisition has strengthened the vigilance of the surrounding areas. In addition to setting up checkpoints, they have people patrolling nearby all the time. This is also to ensure the safety of our prison..." Aiden explained to Veronica.

But now Aiden is also very clear in his mind that this kind of vigilance is probably no longer useful.

If the Death Agent really manipulates the dead to move around in this city as Kyle said, it is equivalent to having a completely legal identity.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect it... If I had known earlier, I should have run directly from home, but it would have been faster." Veronica lowered her head, looking annoyed.

Aiden thought that you are probably the only one who can confidently outrun a carriage on a two or three kilometer walk.

"Someone reported it to me this morning, so I have specially informed the personnel department that if you are late for less than ten minutes recently, you will not be counted as late." Aiden laughed.

"Huh?" Veronica raised her face in surprise.

"So you..." Aiden took out his pocket watch and checked it. "There are about five minutes left. You can take your time."

"Great--" Veronica immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned slightly, "Wait, sir...then why didn't you tell me when you saw me just now?"

"Seeing your expression just now, anyone would want to tease you a little." Aiden smiled.

"Don't always make fun of me." Veronica muttered, but at this moment her mood quickly changed from cloudy to sunny.
