Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 256 A Peaceful Death
Killing a demigod and paying for a share of the devil's extraordinary characteristics is indeed a good deal, and Miss Elana's request is not excessive.

Lewis had no extraordinary characteristics of the "devil" at all, so he could only reply:
"I don't have the extraordinary properties of the 'devil' at the moment, but I can promise that I will find it for you. Even if I can't find it, I will pay you the same price."

"Okay." Elana's figure became illusory until it finally disappeared.

Lewis changed into neat clothes and took a carriage to Earl Hall's house to enjoy dinner.

There was no special attire or ceremony for today's dinner. There were only Mrs. Hall and Miss Hall present. The food was carefully cooked, and the servants brought the dishes to the table in order.

Audrey knew that the person in front of her was Mr. Fate's favored one. As a member of the Tarot Club, she tried her best to pretend that she didn't know him, but she couldn't help but be curious:
“I don’t know what Mr. Fate’s purpose is. Perhaps I should ask him at the next Tarot Club.

Well, it's better not to ask. If Mr. Fate wanted to talk, or really needed our help, he would have asked long ago."

Miss Hall ate her dinner elegantly. She could only guess that Mr. "Destiny" had an extraordinary purpose. The things planned by a true god must involve a wide range of people.

Earl Hall chatted with Lewis for a while, then suddenly said:

"Mr. Lewis, the approval for the power station has been received. This matter has been tacitly approved by the king. I believe that alternating current will soon fill the streets and alleys of Backlund."

Lewis clinked his glasses with Earl Hall from a distance and said with a smile, "Let's toast to our great victory."

He drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp. Lewis felt very troubled by the "king's tacit consent". He couldn't understand why George III had to do anything unnecessary?
In theory, the promotion of alternating current would not benefit George III at all.

Unless the king wants to see Backlund become more chaotic, the emergence of alternating current means a clash between the rich of the new era and the rich of the old era, and also means a commercial war.

Lewis did not learn more information from Earl Hall. They only discussed the location of the power station and the distribution of benefits.

……

At night, Lewis brought the Red Priest Card and all the magical items and came to the West District again, to the home of businessman Gavin.

After a few days of rest, the wounds in his soul have completely healed, and it is time to unearth more secrets.

"Ms. Elana, thank you for your help." Lewis looked at the messenger lady beside him and urged her to act.

He sensed the danger. Several extraordinary beings had already set their sights on him. After the failure of the last attack, the demigod had become wary.

This time, if he wanted to sneak in and find Gavin slowly, it would be unrealistic.

Perhaps, Gavin was also secretly watching him from somewhere, and he didn't even know when he would shout "No entry allowed".

"Stay away from me, my power will harm you." The always timid messenger lady became much more imposing, and a terrifying cold aura emanated from her.

Lewis subconsciously wanted to obey the messenger lady's words. He felt crazy and dirty thoughts popping up in his mind, and hurriedly stepped back more than ten meters to distance himself from the messenger lady.

Miss Elana's figure became illusory and transparent. Lewis looked in the direction of his inspiration and heard a scream filled with fear.

A superhuman fell from the second-floor window. His body shone with strange colors in the moonlight, and there was a splashing sound when he landed. Looking closely, the superhuman's body had melted into a pool of liquid, which opened its smelly mouth and swam towards him.

Lewis heard an unreal and terrifying whisper in his ears. Since he was particularly sensitive to sound, the terrifying whisper made snake-like silver scales grow on his body.

“Ha…” Lewis gasped heavily. He felt as if a hand was tightly grasping his heart, as if the hand would crush his heart to pieces if it used a little more force.

Miss Elana is a Sequence 3 "Whisperer" passing through the Abyss. The abilities of the "Whisperer" mainly come from sound and language. Every word they utter can cause a transcendent to suffer serious damage or directly lose control.

As a member of the "Destiny" path, Lewis was targeted by the "Whisperer"'s ability, so Miss Elana's ability could easily hurt him by mistake.

Originally, Lewis wanted to take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the house to find some useful information, but because Miss Elana's ability was too special, it was difficult for him to exert his power in such an environment.

The next moment, Lewis decisively ended the summoning, and his figure came directly above the gray fog, under the huge light gate.

“No wonder Miss Elana’s voice is always so soft, even giving people a sense of shyness. This should be because she is suppressing her own strength.

Her method is very special, and every sentence and every word she speaks will cause harm to the extraordinary people.

If Miss Elana hadn't tried her best to suppress her own abilities, I probably wouldn't have been able to communicate with her normally."

Lewis pinched a coin in his hand. Since he couldn't participate in this killing in reality, he could only try divination.

"Ms. Elana will be able to kill Gavin successfully..."

After repeating it silently seven times, Lewis flicked the coin and saw George III smiling at him.

"very good!
Since I can't investigate Gavin's residence, I can only find out everything through the spiritual ceremony. I hope Miss Elana hasn't driven Gavin completely crazy. I don't know if the madman's soul can still ask for the information I want to know. "

Leaving the Tarot cards above the gray fog, Lewis wrapped the spirit with spirituality and sank under the gray fog.

A passage to the spirit world suddenly opened in the room, and Gavin's body was thrown out from the spirit world, lying at Lewis' feet like a dead dog.

Gavin was still only wearing his underwear at this time, his eyes bulged out like a dead fish, and dark blood was still flowing out.

"It's hard to imagine that he died so peacefully." Lewis couldn't help but complain.

Miss Elana's shy voice came over:
"He...he wanted to kill me and had ill will towards me..."

Lewis nodded. The "Whisperer" has the ability to sense malicious intent. Once it senses malicious intent, it can directly retaliate against the opponent through its own abilities, causing the opponent to die suddenly.

It was obvious that Gavin didn't know Elana's abilities, which was why he suffered a great loss.

After sending the messenger away, Lewis sent Gavin's body above the gray fog. Everything predicted above Sefirah Castle would not be known to the outside world.
