Hugh was quite touched, as Raphael considered her one of the reasons why he hadn't broken ties with the deputy director of MI9.
But then she was in a dilemma, wondering what to do next.
Raphael seemed to sense her hesitation: "Just pretend you know nothing!"
He paused for a moment and then said, "Before MI9 plans to take action against the Aurora Society, neither you nor I will be in danger."
"On the contrary, de Winter thought he could use this to his advantage, so we were actually safer."
"As for the future, we'll talk about that later."
Actually, Raphael's comment to Hugh, "You're still in his hands," was just something he said casually, something he felt was just a polite expression.
Hugh grunted in response and didn't bring up the matter again.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Hugh got up to say goodbye, and Raphael also stood up and said, "Happy New Year in advance to you and Fors."
The New Year is just a few days away.
After thanking him, I also wish Raphael a Happy New Year in advance.
She then led her men to escort the three prisoners back to MI9.
Hugh seemed perfectly normal until the end of the workday.
Back in his rented room, Xiu hung up his trench coat before sitting down on a stool by the door, lost in thought.
"You're back?" Fors poked her head out from the kitchen and glanced at Hugh. "What's wrong?"
"Today was terrible, Fors," Hugh said, taking a deep breath. "I only realized today how stupid I am."
,
Fors was taken aback: "You—you really only realized this today?"
Hugh glared at his friend, got up and went to the kitchen to help. While making dinner, Hugh described the day's events to Fors.
After listening, Fors thought for a moment before saying, "I seem to remember Miss Hall saying that Raphael doesn't care much about other people's feelings, but it feels like you've become one of his concerns?"
Hugh unconsciously recalled the passionate kiss in the illusion, and she lowered her head and said, "He probably just said it casually."
"Oh." Forsye didn't take it too seriously, then she said seriously, "You're not stupid, you're just not used to your current job yet."
"Public officials and bounty hunters are definitely different; you haven't gotten used to it yet."
"You'll get used to it after a while."
She paused for a moment and then said, "No matter where you are, strength is the most important thing."
"Isn't MI9 going to send you to court to digest the potion? Get promoted to Rank 5 first."
"After you've been promoted to Sequence 5, no one will dare treat you like a 1.5-meter-tall dwarf anymore."
"One meter fifty-two!" Xio immediately corrected: "One meter fifty-two!"
Backland West.
Raphael has been recuperating at the villa for the past two days, and has begun planning the second round of his "serial killer" role.
Perhaps it was because he had been thinking about it all day that he had a dream about murder. In the dream, the victim's greedy soul was so clear that he even felt that he himself had been affected by greed.
Raphael found this feeling very special, so he set up his easel in his dream and recorded the scene before him.
When the painting was finished, Raphael woke up from his dream.
He sat on the edge of the bed in a daze for a while, then finally got up, went to the study to get the easel, and copied the painting that had appeared in his dream.
Soon a painting that looked very rough but was very expressive was completed.
The painting depicts a scene in a dimly lit room where a demon stands in a corner observing everything, while two greedy-looking men are conversing.
The expressions of these two people are so vivid that anyone who glances at them will have the concept of "greed" come to mind.
Raphael looked at his work and smiled with satisfaction, surprised that he actually had some artistic talent.
However, this seems more like a "genuine expression of emotion"!
And this also proves from another angle that my current approach of playing the role of a "serial killer" is very correct. I have even received spiritual "encouragement" and may even be able to digest some of the "devil's" potion in advance.
He sat in front of the easel, pondering: Maybe I can do even better.
The spiritual feedback greatly encouraged him, prompting him to consider how to make the case even "more beautiful".
He does have many figures to refer to in this regard, such as Conan, Sherlock Holmes, and Poirot.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized that he could give "advance notice"!
This will allow the case to receive more attention and for a longer period of time.
The key point is that doing this is very arrogant, and he likes it.
The police station received a notice the following day.
However, to Raphael's surprise, due to the approaching New Year, the police staff were not very efficient, and no one noticed the notice for two whole days.
In the past two days, Raphael's injury has fully healed.
Just as he was actively preparing for the next round of acting, he received a letter from Audrey.
Since Raphael became Mr. A, Audrey and Raphael had lost their direct means of communication, and this letter was delivered by Hugh on Audrey's behalf.
Raphael wondered if he should summon a spirit creature to be his messenger.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was indeed necessary. Having an extraordinary messenger would make correspondence with other people much less troublesome, and would also ensure good confidentiality.
Raphael first looked at the contents of the letter. Audrey invited him to study the oil painting she had bought earlier. According to Audrey's research, the painting was a dream, and it didn't seem very dangerous—at least not on the surface.
However, Audrey has yet to find a way to enter the world of oil paintings, so she invited Raphael to study it together.
After burning Audrey's letters, Raphael continued to ponder the matter of summoning the extraordinary messenger.
With his current strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to sign a contract with a "mid-sequence" level spirit creature. Raphael was also quite clear about the specific process, but he was still missing a "notary".
Alternatively, a third party could act as a witness, providing constraints on both parties.
In such an agreement, witnesses are crucial and can effectively prevent spirit beings from breaking the agreement.
Extraordinary beings usually have the "spirit world" as a witness, but the "spirit world" is not very restrictive. Unless a spirit creature violates the main rules of the spirit world, it is impossible to punish that spirit creature.
Raphael considered for a moment, realizing he had a better option. In his spiritual world, he asked the "original" consciousness, "I wish to summon a messenger. Could you be the witness to the contract?"
In fact, having the "Celestial Venerable" as the witness would be the most "suitable" choice, but Raphael felt that he did not have much of a vested interest with the "Celestial Venerable" and might even become an enemy in the near future, so it was not the best option.
"No problem." The "First" in the shape of a white jade bead readily agreed.
Although His power is relatively weak at present, His level is such that even the "Seven Lights" of the spirit world have to behave themselves.
