Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 61 Devil Worship
At noon, Lewis ordered food from a nearby restaurant and had a meal with Blau in the detective agency.

"This is the money for you. The reward for this mission is only eight pounds." Lewis took out four pounds and gave them to Brough with a distressed look, then took back one pound and said, "This pound is for today's food expenses. Well, I don't object to you living here, but you have to compensate me for the food and accommodation expenses."

"No, today's problem was solved perfectly thanks to me. Besides, I am nominally your teacher, and you should help me with the food and accommodation expenses." Blau snatched the pound from Lewis and put it into his pocket expressionlessly.

"Hehe... just consider it as the reward for my help this time." Lewis chuckled. The four pounds just now were all searched from the kidnapper by him. Now that it is in the hands of this disaster priest, it can be regarded as indirectly helping him save the trouble of being divined.

Of course, ordinary low-sequence fortune tellers have no way of predicting him, but one has to be prepared for the worst.

Going up to the attic, Lewis took out the kidnapper's hair from his pocket and wrote down a divination sentence: "The cause of the kidnapping."

Passing through the pure white in front of him, Lewis fell asleep. He saw the gangster and several others break into an innocent person's home on a sunny morning and brutally kill the owner of the home.

They used the blood of the owner of the house to draw a special pattern on the ground, as if they were holding a sacrificial ceremony, and performed special movements around the ceremony.

The scene changed and a scarred gangster came in from outside the room. His face seemed to be blocked by something and could not be seen clearly.

The moment he entered the room, the gangster seemed to have discovered something. His expression became serious and he looked out the window.

His eyes glanced over Blau who was drinking beer, and finally looked at the shadow in a corner.

Then, the gangster snorted coldly and left the house without saying a word. A pair of brown eyes could be vaguely seen in the direction of his sight, but they were not very clear.

After the divination, Lewis woke up from his sleep. He pinched the corner of his eyes, and in just a moment, the fear of killing the "Blood Cult" followers came to his mind again.

"This morning, the gangster whose face could not be seen discovered me. Even though I used super powers to hide, he still found me at a glance." Lewis couldn't help but think wildly. Judging from the current situation, the leading gangster should be a super person, and his super powers may exceed his, with about the ability of Sequence Seven.

"I hope he didn't see my face either."

Lewis went downstairs. He gave the hair mixed with a few soli notes to Brough and said in a deep voice, "Adding the four pounds from before, this money should be enough for you to buy a formal suit. Change your dirty suit and find a maid to wash it."

Although that hair could allow Lewis to predict the situation of the criminal, it might also allow other extraordinary people to predict himself.

After careful consideration, he felt that it would be safer to pass it through Brown, after all, the other party's status was higher.

"I didn't expect you to be so generous." Blau took the banknote and put it in his pocket.

Lewis smiled calmly and reminded, "I'm going to the Brave Bar to ask about the party in the evening. I'm also going to meet an acquaintance at night. I don't want to be followed by a gentleman who smells sour."

"Okay." Blau agreed.

Lewis boiled some hot water for tea, and Blau left the detective agency and looked at the styles and prices of suits at a tailor shop less than 50 meters away. After entering the tailor shop, facing the hunched tailor, Blau took out money from his pocket, threw away a hair stuck in the banknote, and said, "I want a suit that suits me, and the budget is about... uh... one or two pounds."

"If it's only two pounds, I suggest you buy a piece of coarse linen. It will be very cheap." The hunchbacked old tailor looked at Blau and said sarcastically.

……

Lewis was drinking tea and enjoying his rare leisure time. Although today's case involved extraordinary events, it was not complicated to handle.

“It would be great if everything could be so easy, including finding extraordinary materials.” Lewis saw the postman passing by. He took today’s Backlund Daily from the mailbox and returned to the office to read it.

"The villain Barry died in the revenge of the gang because of a dancer in the Eros Center? This makes sense. The extraordinary people at the party are still very capable. I shouldn't doubt their abilities." Lewis nodded, and he suddenly felt that his money was not wasted.

While Lewis was still immersed in joy, Blau pushed open the door of the detective agency, followed by an angry old man.

The old man had a hunched back and held a thick wooden stick in his hand, which he would occasionally poke at Bulao with.

"Lewis, can you lend me 10 pounds?" Blau took off his hat and looked unhappy.

"What do you want so much money for?" Lewis looked at Blau in surprise and asked.

"I was unlucky just now. I accidentally ruined a few clothes at the tailor shop." Blau said pitifully.

"Not just a few pieces, he ruined my masterpiece, which was my first work after becoming a tailor. It is very memorable!" The hunchbacked old tailor poked Blau with a thick wooden stick again, his voice a little high-pitched.

Lewis reluctantly gave the old tailor 10 pounds. After the tailor left, he emphasized to Brough: "You have to pay me back later."

He never imagined that a member of Sequence Six, School of Life, was so poor that he couldn't even afford the 10-pound fee.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that all the extraordinary people in the Destiny Path are quite poor. A certain Sequence 5 School of Destiny traitor actually only has one magical item on him. It is quite sad to think that a Sequence 5 has fallen to this point.

"No problem." Blau agreed readily.

As he thought about it, Lewis began to worry about his future. He was also destined to pass through this path. When he was promoted to Sequence 6 or Sequence 5, he would not end up like Brown, right?

A Sequence Six was actually chased and beaten by the owner of a tailor shop just because of 10 pounds. This was a complete disgrace to all Extraordinary people!
"I'm glad you understand." Lewis scolded Blau, then made him a cup of black tea. The two drank tea and sat in front of the coffee table to bask in the sun.

As the evening approached, the old tailor delivered a suit. Lewis changed into a gray-blue work uniform and went to the Brave Bar with Brough.
