Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 59 Things are not simple

"Thinking time? How many days does it take just to think?"

Lewis twitched his lips. As a modern man who had received anti-fraud training, it was easy for him to guess Blau's plan.

For Blau, he is like a mobile WiFi. He can use it for free without paying any price, so why should he use the magic potion formula of the "lucky man"?
"I can give you five minutes at most. If you can't make a decision within five minutes, then our deal will be invalid. Please stay away from me." Lewis said seriously with a gloomy face.

Blau's face showed obvious disappointment. He said reluctantly, "Okay... I will give you the recipe for the 'Lucky Man' potion, but in return, you have to let me follow you within 20 meters for the next month."

“No problem.” Lewis agreed. It had always been his wish to have a Sequence 6 warrior following him, but now it seemed that having Brown following him might not be a good thing.

Lewis urged Brown to write down the recipe for the "Lucky Man" potion. He tossed a coin without hesitation, and after confirming the authenticity of the recipe, he extended his right hand to the other party.

"It's a pleasure working with you." Lewis accepted the potion formula in a good mood. He stood up and went upstairs, intending to look for the main ingredients of the potion next.

As the sequence of extraordinary people becomes higher and higher, the formula materials will become more and more precious. Later on, it is very likely that the formula is easy to find but the extraordinary materials are hard to find.

At that time, he would have to consider killing the extraordinary people in the path of destiny and directly obtain the extraordinary characteristics.

"I have to attend more gatherings. It would be best if I could get all the materials before I completely digest the Sequence 8 potion." Lewis couldn't help but think of some of the gathering places that Alger had provided for him. Backlund seemed to have many gatherings of extraordinary people.

"I should pay more attention to the parties at the Brave Bar. I can also go and have a look at the parties organized by the Aurora Society. Although Mr. A is a lunatic, he is still trustworthy." Lewis couldn't help but think.

When it was completely dark, Lewis arranged for Blau to stay on the couch in the detective agency, but Blau didn't seem to mind.

In the morning, Lewis woke up and changed into formal clothes, ready to continue investigating yesterday's case. The detective identity is also a part of the disguise, and the work that should be done should be done well.

"I'm going to Hilton Bank this morning, and will go to the Brave Bar in the evening to ask about the Extraordinary People's Gathering. If you want to follow me, you'd better dress like a real assistant." Lewis reminded Blau.

"Okay." Blau spread his hands and followed Lewis. Before he went out, he missed a step and fell on the threshold.

Lewis couldn't help but doubt his own role. Looking at the attributes of this unlucky guy Blau, it seemed that there was not much difference from yesterday.

However, since Blau had no objection, he naturally would not express his guess.

Hilton Bank was a regional bank in the Kingdom of Loen. Although its scale could not be compared with the "Big Seven Banks", it was still well-known within Backlund.

As for the missing person, Dick Yarlin was a regular employee of a bank. His weekly salary was about four pounds, which allowed him to live a decent life even in the Backlund region.

"Hello, I'm Mr. Dick Yarlin's neighbor. On behalf of his wife, I came here to learn about Mr. Dick's disappearance." Lewis found a man who was suspected to be Mr. Dick's colleague and said.

"Dick is missing? No wonder he hasn't come to work since the day before yesterday." The clerk wearing gold-rimmed glasses was a little surprised. If Lewis hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have known about Dick's situation.

"Do you have any clues about his disappearance?" Lewis asked slowly, keeping his machine in motion. "Sorry, I don't have any information. Three days ago, a few of us went to the Eros Center to play billiards. Of course, we also called a few dancers. You know, our work is very stressful and we need to have fun occasionally, but Dick is different. He thinks these things are not good for his wife."

Lewis frowned, he felt sorry for his wife for going to the brothel, was this also a manifestation of having a conscience?
Of course, Lewis didn't intend to ask about the other party's private life. He just asked calmly: "Is there anything left by Dick here? I want to help him clean it up."

"We rarely leave things in the company, but I have a pair of glasses that he wore. I accidentally broke them a few days ago and they were recently repaired." As he spoke, the clerk took out a glasses case and handed it to Lewis.

Lewis took the glasses case, took off his hat, thanked the clerk, and left Hilton Bank.

Although Mrs. Joan did not give him Mr. Dick's personal belongings, he still found them, so he could use divination to confirm Dick's location.

"Mr. Dick probably doesn't dare to go home, after all, his wife found out about his visit to the Eros Center..." Lewis expressed his condolences, he didn't know whether he should look for this poor gentleman.

Perhaps, by finding each other, he would destroy a family forever.

"What are you going to do?" Blau, who always kept a distance of no more than twenty meters from Lewis, suddenly caught up and interrupted.

"Of course I'm using divination to find people." Lewis didn't think too much about it. It's the professional ethics of a detective to take other people's money and do things for them.

"Mr. Dick's current location"

Back at the detective agency, Lewis wrote down the divination statement, held it in his hand, and fell asleep.

When I fell asleep, I saw a dark room in front of me. There were no windows around the room. There was only a gas lamp emitting a dim light, illuminating a few figures.

In the room, there were several people with their heads covered with black bags. Their hands and feet were tied together and fixed to the pillar in the middle of the room.

It was impossible to determine the exact location based solely on the scene in the room, and Lewis wanted to see more, so he tried to delve deeper into divination.

The scene changed, and Lewis saw a dirty street with homeless people sitting on the corners everywhere. They were wearing clothes that were barely enough to cover their bodies, huddled in the sun, their eyes numb and empty.

Behind these homeless people, Lewis saw a hidden cafe with the word "Black" written on its shabby sign.

The dream was broken, and Lewis opened his eyes. He thought it was just a small incident about cheating, but now it seems that this matter is not simple.

"How is it? Did you find it?" The "assistant" Blau Rupert took a sip of black tea and asked as he casually swatted away a cockroach that flew towards the cup.

"Yes, I found it, but this matter is a little strange. I need you to go with me to confirm it." Lewis looked at Brown. Having a Sequence Six following him as an assistant made him feel much more at ease.
