They all call me master

Elena will eventually die.

When the other party chooses to kill on a day when the salon is held, it is destined that the other party will die.

Malinda will not let each other go!

But definitely not now!

Because this is not in Malinda's interests.

After finally reversing the situation and forcing Coster and Emond into a dead corner, how could she just let Elena go so easily.

Similarly, Coster and Emond will not sit still and wait for death.

They will try their best to get away with it.

The best way is to 'persuade' Elena.

And that's when Malinda waited.

Only at this time would it be in Elena's best interest for her to die.

Just imagine, when the lobbyists of Coster and Emond met Elena, the latter died like this. What impression would it have on people?

Kill and silence!

According to common sense, Malinda would definitely do this, but recalling Malinda's previous murderous intention, Arthur was not sure.

But one thing is certain, Arthur is sure——

"I once said that my 'psychic' ability allows me to find wandering souls, and I can also actively contact the souls, as long as... she is in front of me."

As he said that, Arthur shrugged.

At an extremely close distance, facing Arthur's shrugged shoulders, Malinda instinctively took a step back and quickly distanced herself from Arthur.

However, the woman was not annoyed.

She will naturally be quite tolerant to her collaborators who want to go further.

Moreover, it was also her test.

She heard Arthur's heartbeat.

It's smooth, without any acceleration.

It should be true.

In other words, Arthur really has the talent of 'psychic medium'!

However, the woman was not 100% sure.

At the same time, she also knew that tonight's testing must stop, otherwise, she would lose a very suitable partner.

So, after a pause, the lady asked with a smile.

"Want something to eat? Or something to drink? I'll ask Edwin to get it for you. There will be an auction later."

That's right!

The auction continues.

Even if someone died, it did not affect the second half of the salon.

After all, the murderer was found and there was a reasonable excuse.

Is there any reason not to continue?

Even if Malinda wants to stop, tonight's guests won't let the auction stop.

"I'll go down and choose myself."

"And you?"

Arthur rejected Malinda's kindness and asked the other party.

"I think it's better for me to stay here alone when I'm sad. At the same time, in order to comfort me when I'm sad, you will definitely bring me food back soon, right?"

Malinda looked at Arthur with a pleading look on her face.

"certainly!"

Arthur nodded, stood up and walked out of the lounge.

The door closed behind you.

A door separates two worlds.

In the room, under the bright light, Malinda took another deep breath from her pipe. In the smoke she exhaled, the corners of the lady's mouth curled up, and an inexplicable look flashed in her eyes.

Outside the room, standing in the dim shadows, Arthur also raised the corners of his mouth. His mind was in turmoil, but on the surface there was no change at all.

Malinda chose to cooperate with him not just to paralyze her opponent.

besides……

The identity of ‘spiritual medium’!

The other party needs the ability of a 'spiritual medium'!

‘Being so careful, it shouldn’t be a simple matter of removing spirits! ’

'and……'

‘It won’t be just one or two trials! ’

Arthur thought, his breathing remained the same as in the room, and he walked straight downstairs without stopping.

Facing a lady like Malinda, in Arthur's opinion, no one can be too careful.

This is true even if both parties are collaborators.

He had seen this lady's methods with his own eyes.

As he walked down the stairs, Arthur's eyes flashed with surprise as he kept smiling.

The words that only he could see were dancing in front of his eyes——

[Bluffing experience +1]

[Bluffing Level 2:2/5]

…

[Bluff] Gained experience again.

Arthur wasn't sure whether it was because of dealing with Malinda or the guests just now.

Or maybe both?

Although Arthur cannot confirm which point it is for the time being, one thing Arthur can confirm is that his skills can be upgraded through training.

This is naturally good news for him.

He already has outstanding talent and relies on his own efforts to improve his strength. Of course he wouldn't mind working a little harder to become stronger!

Even though he still hasn't figured out the [mission] mechanism, the good news now still makes the smile on Arthur's face brighter.

And when he saw an acquaintance among the guests, Arthur smiled even more happily.

"Arthur!"

Scott held the dinner plate in one hand and waved towards Arthur with the other.

"This is another fateful encounter!"

The young reporter said very exaggeratedly, as if wherever there was news related to Arthur, Scott would appear there.

In fact, it was the returned Maltz who informed Scott, who was preparing to continue the exclusive interview with the 'new Sheriff of the Shire District'.

That's why Scott came in a hurry.

He wanted to get first-hand information.

As for entering the salon?

Scott is speaking on behalf of the Shire District Police.

Arthur guessed this.

However, he did not reveal it.

"Honor fate!"

Arthur turned around and picked up a glass of ice water without ice and no smell. After signaling to Scott, he directly took the young reporter's plate and walked to the corner.

With Brody's life tips, Arthur knows better and better how to choose food.

It's like Scott's dinner plate, already filled with food.

The egg tarts in particular are quite tempting, with a rich aroma that hits your nose.

The Long Night Lady's salon has always served cold meals. Only when winter comes, some sustainably heated dishes, such as stew or porridge, will be added.

Since it’s still early in the winter, it’s natural to focus on pastries, sausages, chicken breasts, fruit and vegetable salads.

Arthur, who has his own eating habits, doesn't like fruit and vegetable salads, but he doesn't like pastries, sausages and chicken breasts.

Arthur bit into the egg tart. The crispy skin and tender heart made him feel satisfied.

Sweets and meats are something you can never get enough of.

Scott looked at Arthur who had already started dinner in the corner. He was very helpless and could only go to the cold table again and choose food.

But just when he came back with the food, Arthur raised his hand and took the food again.

"Thanks, Scott!"

"Seriously, I don't know what I would do without you!"

Facing Arthur's sincere look, the young reporter silently turned around and walked towards the buffet.

Fortunately, this time Arthur did not raise his hand to take it.

Not full.

But Arthur felt that at this time, he should eat some hot food.

For example: hot pot.

A cold meal is almost boring after all.

Even with Arthur's favorite sweets and meats.

After all, hot pot goes better with sweets and meat!

The sigh in his heart made Arthur couldn't help but recall whether Nanlos had sesame sauce and how to stir-fry the hot pot base.

Of course, he didn’t forget to talk to Scott about the ‘food rules in consulting fees’.

Scott was naturally confused about this, but he didn't ask any more questions.

However, Arthur murmured quietly.

“Foods full of good intentions are something you can’t live up to. They not only make me feel happy, but also help me deal with the troubles of exorcism. Of course, as food itself, they are far more important than money.”

When he discovered that 'real food' can increase XP, Arthur had this realization from the bottom of his heart.

Scott, who obviously has gourmet potential, immediately lit up.

He heard from Arthur's words Arthur's love for food and his compassion for those who cannot afford consultation fees.

If it weren't for such mercy, how could Arthur use 'food' as part of the consulting fee?

Scott, who had some misunderstandings, looked at Arthur with more reverence. Just when the reporter was about to talk to Arthur in detail about how to improve the 'food rules in consulting fees', several uninvited guests came over. .

Not quite a stranger.

They were the young men who had been targeting Arthur when Brody died.

Now, the leader was as angry as a bull. Not only was he breathing loudly between his nose and mouth, but his cheeks were red. As soon as he walked into the corner, he shouted directly at Arthur——

"Arthur Kratos, I want to duel with you!"
