Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 106 Tris

In the sewer, an illusory group of bats flew out, and with them came a straight figure.

He came to the Tussock River, and under the crimson moonlight, his red eyes seemed to merge into the moon.

From the outside, he looked like a lonely man, but he smelled like a sewer and a rotting corpse.

He held a golden bar in his palm with long pointed nails.

In an instant, spots of light appeared on his body, which removed the odor from his body and burned the rat corpses on his body.

He stood by the Tussock River, seemingly searching for something.

After about ten seconds, two figures appeared behind him, and the one carrying a suitcase asked, "Mr. Xiao, where is the detective?"

"He jumped into the river. He must have a magical item on him that allows him to move underwater. We have lost track of him." The man called Xiao looked in several directions on the river, but seemed to find nothing.

"This detective has many secrets. Maybe he is related to the person we have been investigating. He should be given special attention." The figure carrying the suitcase also looked towards the water and said expressionlessly.

"I know."

The man called Xiao stretched out illusory bat wings from behind and flew across the river.

……

Inside a hotel in Cherwood.

As the night grew darker, Lewis roughly calculated the time. Tomorrow afternoon, the Tarot Club would be held again. He might encounter Klein's small account "World" that would be online soon.

"Well, at tomorrow's party, I can sell the news about 'Zaratul'. I need a large sum of cash. With the knowledge I know, two thousand pounds is a reasonable price.

My role as the 'Lucky Man' went very smoothly, so I need to find the potion formula of the 'Disaster Priest' as soon as possible and start looking for the potion ingredients."

Suddenly, Lewis heard footsteps and people talking. The sound was at least two hundred meters away from him, but as a transcendent, he could hear it very clearly.

"Don't let him get away, or our plan will be ruined!"

"Damn thief, if I find you, I will skin you alive!"

Sitting by the window, Lewis looked out and coincidentally, the direction the thief ran away was exactly where he was.

Although he didn't see the thief's face clearly, Lewis' inspiration gave him the feedback that "this is an acquaintance."

"Is there a thief among my acquaintances? Who could it be?"

Lewis didn't want to be dragged into trouble for no reason, so he turned off the gas lamp, lay down and prepared to go to sleep.

In the darkness, an inconspicuous figure climbed up to the second floor. Her figure was swift and she jumped directly into Lewis' room through the window.

She held a dagger in her hand and placed it on Lewis' shoulder in the dark.

"Don't make any noise, I..." She had only said half of her words when she saw the man lying on the bed move. Before she could even react, she was strangled by the neck and pressed to the floor.

Her body was locked tightly by the opponent, so she swung the dagger hard, but her wrist could not make any big movements. Her only means of attack was easily blocked.

Unfortunately, he met a fighting master whose physical fitness far exceeded that of ordinary people. After just one encounter, this extraordinary person was defeated by the other party.

"Mr. Lewis!" The woman shouted in surprise in the darkness. Her voice was not loud, just loud enough for Lewis to hear clearly.

“Tsk…” Lewis frowned. No wonder the inspiration gave him special feedback at the beginning. It turned out to be Cherry, the dancer. She was still staying in Backlund.

"Why don't you go back to Tingen?" Lewis snatched the dagger from Cherry's hand, loosened his grip slightly, and asked.

"I... want to investigate some things. These things may be related to the human trafficking in Tingen. They are very important!" Cherry looked at Lewis, and her eyes subconsciously turned away to avoid Lewis's gaze.

“Investigate something? With your status as a Sequence Nine, you should have been caught long ago. Triss is also here. Is she helping you secretly?” Lewis suddenly remembered the witch and asked in a cold voice.

“You…” Cherry frowned. Just as she was about to say something, she turned her head away and whispered, “You seem to know everything. If you hadn’t destroyed Triss’s ritual, those damned people would have died long ago.”

"What about those people who shouldn't have died? Do you know Triss? It was Triss who caused the tragedy of the Clover." Lewis let go of Cherry, walked to the window, closed the blinds, and winked at Cherry, asking her to hide.

After about ten seconds, there was a knock on the door, and a female clerk asked:

"Sir, is there something wrong in the room?"

Lewis knew that the people who were tracking Cherry had arrived, and if he made the clerk suspicious, more people might come later.

Taking off his coat, Lewis opened the door. He looked at the clerk with a smile and said, “Nothing happened, but the quilt in the room smells a little musty. Would it be convenient for me to change it?”

"Of course." The clerk looked into the room and found nothing unusual.

Lewis closed the door, and after a while, when the clerk brought a new quilt, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked into the dark place behind the door.

At that location, a female figure wearing a black cloak appeared. She asked, "What did you say? The Clover tragedy was caused by Miss Triss. Miss Triss didn't have to create such meaningless things. I've seen the case, and the murderer was a man."

Lewis flicked up a coin, and it landed on his palm, revealing the king's head on one side.

Divination told him that they could talk, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know what happened next with 'Assassin'?"

"I don't know." Triss shook her head and replied.

"The Assassin's Path, also known as the Witch's Path, Sequence Nine 'Assassin', Sequence Eight 'Instigator', Sequence Seven 'Witch'..." Lewis explained calmly and waited quietly for Cherry to ask him questions.

Cherry's pretty eyebrows knitted together. She seemed to have discovered the point. With a troubled look on her face, she asked, "You said... Sequence Seven is a witch? What would happen if a man drank a 'witch' potion?"

"Of course, she turned into a woman, and a beautiful woman at that. Triss was once a real man, but after drinking the potion, she turned into a real witch." Lewis had a smile on his face, as if he was mocking Cherry's ignorance.

"Ms. Triss, was she once a man? She was the 'instigator' Triss? The murderer who committed the 'Alfalfa' tragedy?" Cherry's pupils suddenly shrank, her tone full of disbelief as she muttered to herself.
