Whispering Verse

The figure of the escaping man seemed to be wrapped in a shadow, moving quickly and agilely away from the carriage in a zigzag pattern.

"Shoot!"

Miss Bayas warned loudly.

"I dare to shoot too...I mean, I have no bullets!"

But the right hand behind her back has already lit up with a faint silver light. Even if Miss Bayas discovers that she is a ring warlock today, she cannot let the [Mercury Blood] members who know her appearance escape. There is still a chance to remedy the situation that ruined Miss Anat's plan. If the man escapes, things will become very troublesome.

But there was someone faster than Shade.

"Damn it!"

The girl with long brown hair said something very unseemly. She kept a slightly squatting posture. The brass life ring behind her rotated at high speed and rubbed against the wall behind her, causing sparks. The golden miracle rune [Sunshine] suddenly flashed. Aura.

The small black leather shoes left shoe prints on the soft ground of the alley. The crouched body tilted slightly to the right and back. At the same time, the palm of his right hand was held empty, and the crackling golden thunder flashed in the palm.

Then he suddenly stood up and threw forward. The thunder in his hand gathered into a golden spear, which instantly left his hand and cut through the air, leaving a bright golden light mark in the alley:

"Sunshine Gun!"

The thunder crossed the side of Shade's face, leaving him with a burning feeling. At that moment, he seemed to hear the prayer murmurs of a million people.

Thunder streaked across the alley, passed through the brass life ring behind the escaping man, and accurately hit the man dodging in the shadows.

The latter screamed and was hit in the back by the thaumaturgy [Sunshine Spear]. The shadow on his body quickly faded, and then he staggered forward for two steps before falling heavily to the ground.

The life ring behind him disappeared into the air. He twitched and finally stopped moving. In this battle between the fourth-level warlock and the second-level warlock, Miss Bayas almost achieved a complete victory.

Golden thunder flickered on the ground in the alley and lingered for a long time. Shade stared dumbfoundedly at Miss Bayas who stood up and clapped her hands. The girl with long brown hair snorted as a sign of contempt for her opponent, and then looked up and down at the detective with blood on her clothes:

"What did you just see?"

"I......"

He knew that the battle between ring warlocks would be quite "exciting." At least on the third floor of the Lakeview Manor mansion, even though he was beaten badly, the fight he saw was exciting. But I didn't expect that it was the first time I saw a low-level warlock fighting, and he could play so many tricks.

"I think we should get acquainted again."

Miss Bayas stretched out her hand towards Shade. Shade hesitated for a moment and then reached out to hold Iluna Bayas's hand. The latter looked at the young and uneasy detective seriously:

"Iluna Beas, the Church of the Sun and Earth, the Ring Warlock of the True God [Old Man with the Lamp]. Detective, I think it is necessary to talk to you about the reality of this world."

But Shade didn't want to talk. He just wanted to go home with the money hidden in his chest. But fortunately, he did not reveal his identity as a correspondence magician and did not disrupt Miss Anat's plan.

"Miss Bayas, you seemed to have vomited blood just now."

Shade said cautiously, and then put the [Gear of Kindness] back into his waist.

After the short man got into the car, he immediately saw the pistol on the "sleeping" detective's waist. When I went to get my pistol, there happened to be a fight outside.

He didn't originally want to shoot, but wanted to wait until the fight was over before making any plans. But Shade didn't want to put his life in the hands of others. When he opened his eyes to resist, the other party immediately pulled the trigger of the gun of kindness, just like the heart collector immediately shot him when he saw him trying to throw the dice... ....Probably because the person using the gun this time was only a low-level warlock, and his head didn't need to explode to ensure death, so the bullet just passed between his eyebrows, and the blood splattered was not as much as last time.

Of course, when Shade and Miss Bayas explained, it was replaced by the two accidentally pulling the trigger during the fight. Miss Bayas didn't care whether there was something fishy about the detective's victory. He stared at the detective:

"Mr. Hamilton, since you just saw what happened, you should be able to guess that the world is not as simple as you think."

Shade nodded while trying to retreat, but Miss Bayas immediately took a step forward:

"According to regulations, if ordinary people witness a battle between ring warlocks, they need to erase this memory."

Her voice was smooth, as if she was announcing some decision. But the sentence started with "according to regulations", indicating that this time there was a high probability that it would not be in accordance with regulations. This made Shade relieved that he did not have to reveal his identity.

"But according to the church's constitution, you will be asked about what happened today before your memory is erased."

Shade didn't retreat anymore, he vaguely understood something. The powerful thaumaturgy "Sunshine Gun" she just saw was probably not a thaumaturgy that could be mastered through normal means. Miss Bayas did not want Shade to tell the church about this.

[Judging by the elements of thaumaturgy and spiritual fluctuations you have seen, the power of the sunshine gun just now is close to the silver thunder used by Lasoya. 】

"do you understand?"

The young girl with long brown hair asked very softly. Although she was young and not as experienced as the cunning stranger in dealing with things, her performance at this moment was definitely worthy of praise.

"Of course I understand."

Shade also said softly, then spread his hands to show that he had no ill intentions:

"Miss Bayas, I really didn't see anything today, and I really didn't find anything, and I didn't remember anything."

He looked into the other person's eyes and said, at a certain moment, Shade found that his figure reflected in the other person's beautiful eyes was actually covered by golden light marks.

"Detective, you should understand that each of us has our own secrets."

"Yes, everyone has one."

Shade nodded, he understood what the other party meant:

"You can kill me, so that no one will expose your secret. But I don't think you will, but you don't want me, the person who knows your secret, to exist. Today is just the first time we meet. , you can’t completely trust me.”

"Yes."

She looked at Shade and looked at the detective:

"You may not know what you just saw... That power is not something that low-level warlocks like me can use. It is high-level divine magic..."

The last sentence is close to gibbering.

"I have heard legends about extraordinary people like you before, Miss Bayas, I understand what you mean."

He didn't intend to deceive the girl in front of him, but since the other party didn't ask him if he was a ring warlock, it couldn't be considered a lie if he didn't tell her.

Pointing to the carriage:

"That man died under my gun, and I don't have a gun license. Miss Bayas, I know this is nothing to your secret, but once the police really investigate the origin of this gun, I There will be big trouble. Yes, killing a bad guy is nothing, but the origin of this gun must not be known to the police. This gun is very dangerous, very complicated, and related to my past experience of not wanting to be known.

Once an investigation is launched, for ordinary people, their lives may be completely destroyed, and the only thing I have is this peaceful life. So, you don't have to worry about me revealing your secrets because you can destroy my life with this gun thing. "

None of the above words are false.
