Lord of the Silver Crow

"The Red Queen?"

Standing in front of the study window, Naphar was thinking.

......

On the other side, Yago, who left the manor and returned to the residence of Phoenix Road, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it has not been possible to determine who the "Murder in the City of Fog" is, it is definitely related to the Di Lud family and Ash Manor.

However, Mr. "Ripper" who appeared with the appearance of "Roya" had good taste in the name.

But the problem came again.

Is that Mr. Ripper, Viscount Nafar?

Shaking his head, Yago, who was not sure of the answer, brushed the dust off his windbreaker.

Speaking of which, Mr. Ripper is a very troublesome person. Before he left, he said:

"By the way, when you send me a message, don't directly call it'The Ripper', just use'Red Rose' instead."

Wouldn't it be better to just use "Red Rose", why use two titles?

However, speaking of it, two titles are not bad.

After all, one directly refers to the identity of the costume party, and the other is an unrelated title.

Such as "weird thief" and "magician".

"Strange Thieves" is also pretty good. Although it will be associated with the corresponding sequence as a code name, it will not be associated with a costume party.

But I don't worry about it.

He has a lot of identity.

"Knight" Longfellow, "Reaper" janitor, "Red Queen" Merhis, "Magic", "Crow" Er Dans.

There is also a normal identity-Diago.

This identity is no one.

It's just that Erdans' "crow" has nothing to do with the masquerade, it's just a name for the corpse collector.

"If this goes on, one day I will get schizophrenia." Yago couldn't help but muttered.

Shaking his head, he opened the message he had received from Mr. "The Ripper".

A letter.

Information about the host of the ceremony.

Looking at it, his face became more solemn.

Sure enough, there is a connection with the Lantern Brothers.

The Extraordinary in the mid-sequence...you want to fight, and you can't deal with it if you don't use the gatekeeper mask, but the question is, even with the gatekeeper mask, can you beat the opponent.

Looking all the way, Yago stopped his sight:

"...The ritual to be held by the other party may be the ‘Legend Reappearance’..."

"'Legend' will replace reality."

"The weaker the strength and the weaker the reputation, the easier it is to be replaced and replaced."

"We must expand our own influence and let the'legends' referring to ourselves be strengthened. The greater the influence of diffusion, the better."

Is it to increase influence again?

Ms. "Tower" is asking him to establish an organization and expand his influence.

And what Mr. "Ripper" mentioned is the means to deal with this "legendary reappearance" to increase influence.

Could it be said that the "request" of Ms. "Tower" to him at the beginning was not actually a requirement, but a means of defense?

After reading this paragraph, and reading the following paragraph about the possible actions of the black hand behind the scenes, he read it several times, confirmed that he had written it down, and then threw the letter paper and envelope in according to Mr. Ripper’s instructions. The fireplace burned out.

Increase influence..... Increase influence...

There is it!

By the way, rituals can also be performed.

......

At night, in a dilapidated apartment in the southern district of Di Lude City.

Two men in tweed ready-to-wear clothes and newsboy hats are swiftly sculpting symbols on the ground.

In contrast, there were six or seven corpses.

The tenant and the re-renter, members of the two families, have died.

The blood flowing out of the fearful corpse was solidified on the face, which was being used as ink by the two men with indifferent expressions, using a dagger as a pen to paint on the ground.

After the depiction was completed, the symbol began to fade continuously until it dissipated in place.

After doing this, one of them swept some soot from the fireplace to cover up the place just described.

At the same time, another person walked to the corpses of the two dead women, tearing the women's clothing with indifference in his eyes.

After throwing the torn corset aside, he glanced at the other person in the dark, and was about to leave.

However, when he twisted the handle, there was a little more faint moonlight in the dark room, and there was also a breeze.

And... sight!

The two turned their eyes together and looked at the position of the window.

The window was opened.

On the edge of the window, a fog crow was standing quietly on the window sill, staring at the two of them.

The source of sight is this fog crow.

The two looked at each other, one of them took out a dagger and shot it out. The sharp dagger pierced the air and flew towards the fog crow.

But at this moment, the fog crow suddenly opened the crow's beak, and a stern, hoarse crow sounded.

The shrill cry that shook the soul shocked the two of them, and the dagger that had just been released was also avoided by the fog crow sideways.

Although shaken by the sound, their consciousness was a little hazy, but the two of them did not lose their ability to move.

When the sound sounded, they had already leaped to the side, avoiding the expected successive attacks.

boom!

Sure enough, with a gunshot, a bullet tore through the air, passing the position where the man on the left was just now among the two.

The two of them who had recovered their senses also turned their heads and looked back in response to their abilities.

Opposite the window, at the door of the room, a figure stood quietly, hidden in the shadow.

The ability to see things in the dark allowed the two of them to see clearly the "look" of the person.

He wore a silver-gray tuxedo evening dress, with a silver-gray top hat on his head, and a pure white mask on his face.

The gunshot just now came from the revolver in the opponent's hand.

Without hesitation, the two took off their newsboy hats, flicked them out forcefully, and threw them out towards the man.

The two hats are like two flying discs, with precise trajectories, with the blades at the tip of the hats flying towards the man's neck and eyes.

At the moment when the hat was thrown out, one of them pulled out a razor from the back waist, and with the forward movement, one rolled to the window sill, and the razor in his hand pierced the body of the mist crow.

The hat is an attack and a cover!

And the other person took out a revolver with a wooden handle from the waist when the hat flew to the opponent's eyes. When the revolver was lifted with the right hand, the left hand took out the bullet nest button to the revolver.

When the revolver finished aiming, the bullet nest was also buckled into the revolver.

boom! ! !

As the smell of gunpowder began to diffuse, the bullet shot out of the barrel, cut through the air, and hit the opponent's mask.

However, the other party did not evade, just tilted his head sideways, and at the same time stretched out his hand, flipped the hat he had just grabbed, blocked it in front of the mask, turned and buckled it, and buckled it to his companion who was about to attack the Mist Crow. On the head.

Suddenly, his companion shook his body, as if losing strength, his face directly hit the window sill.

Then fell to the ground.
