Fallen Morning Star? The name is not bad… but why do I feel like it's familiar, but I can't recall it? Could it be that its information that I temporarily forgot because it involves a higher level?
Ebner frowned and put the matter aside for the moment. He looked at Shoko in front of him and asked something he hadn't had time to ask last night. "You said Lena wanted you to go to 16 Williams Street to retrieve something that was supposed to be hers… What was that?"
Shoko hesitated for a moment. After all, that was different from what had happened before. It was Lena's privacy. For a moment, he wondered if he should tell Ebner.
The conflicted look on his face was so obvious that Ebner could easily read his thoughts. "Then you don't need to say anything. Let me make a deduction."
Shoko heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that and nodded subconsciously. He deeply felt that Detective Bryan was really an understanding and kind person… However, unfortunately, he was still unwilling to reveal Madam Lena's privacy. This was his principle as a person.
At this moment, Ebner had already activated the Eye of Pure White and simulated the mind-reading ability he had learned from the Fallen Morning Star. He "read" part of the information in Shoko's shallow thoughts, so he said, "That's a Beyonder item that Lena often uses, right?"
Shock ran through Shoko at that. She hadn't expected the first line of Detective Bryan's reasoning to close in on the truth.
It should be a claw-shaped Beyonder item… Ice Claw? Does that mean that she lost this Sealed Artifact later? As Ebner "read" Shoko's superficial thoughts, he inferred based on his battle with Lena.
Shoko's eyes were already staring straight. He sighed and said, "As expected of a Hero Detective… It's no wonder you were able to crack so many major cases. Such reasoning ability is like seeing it with your own eyes. Could this be the deduction method mentioned by Emperor Roselle?"
Roselle had even mentioned the "acting method"? From the looks of it, it was true that he had never seen the "Sherlock Holmes" before…
Ebner grumbled to himself, then analyzed. 'Lena used Ice Claw when she fought me at the warehouse. And before the ball at the Daily Observer headquarters, Ray must have moved away from the villa at 16 Williams Street…'
I remember that I met Lena on August 1, Wednesday, while the Daily Observer ball was on Friday night…
No, Cullen had once mentioned that before the battle in the northwest suburbs, the Mandated Punishers had used that 1-025 to divine Ray. There was also an encounter near William Street, but because the Demoness was prepared, the Mandated Punishers had a Wind-blessed heavily injured…
In that case, before that encounter, Ray might still have snuck back to the house of number 16 and conveniently placed Ice Claw there.
Well, more than a week in between should have been the time Lena's "luck" failed and Ray found it and lost Ice Claw because of it.
As for Inspector Wayne's funeral, it was the second day after he helped Roman catch the adulterer. That was also the day that the old man handed the "Fallen Morning Star" to Shoko…
Indeed, the two elderly men who delivered the Beyonder items were not the same person!
The former should have given up on Lena after she connected with the Forsaken One. Although she had not told Judy about Ray's information at that time, she had most likely revealed it to Prince Edessak. Even if she was killed by Ray, this information would still fall into the hands of the Forsaken One. She had no value then, so the "lucky" ring had failed.
As for the old man who used Shoko to hand over the "Fallen Morning Star" to Lena, he probably hoped that Lena would continue to live… However, I still can't figure out what plans he has…
Ebner's mind raced, and he smiled as his mind wandered to answer Shoko's earlier question. "That's the charm of 'reasoning.'"
Although he failed to protect Ma'am Lena's privacy, Shoko wasn't depressed. After all, he wasn't the one who leaked the information. It was just that Detective Bryan was too powerful. He was able to deduce the entire process of the matter with just a few clues.
After that, Shoko bade farewell to Ebner. The latter didn't urge him to stay and only reminded him tactfully, "The Assassin pathway will undergo major changes at Sequence 7."
But seeing Shoko's unconcerned look, Ebner felt that his good intentions were wasted.
After Shoko left, Ebner looked at his pocket watch and saw that it was past three o'clock. He quickly picked up "Fallen Morning Star" and left the house. He took the subway to Moon Flower Street, which was south of the Bridge.
In the Harvest Church, Ebner, who was pushing open the door, suddenly felt his spirituality stir. He hurriedly activated his Spirit Vision and saw a chick struggling to escape from the void with a handbag.
"Silika?" Ebner asked in surprise. He did not have "Amantha" or any other spiritual material powder with him.
The little bird, Silika, put down the handbag and chirped at Ebner a few times before taking out a letter from the opening of the handbag.
Ebner took the envelope. He was embarrassed to see Silika staring at him without moving, so he simulated a little psychic aura, condensed it on his finger, and placed it in front of Birdie.
Silika approached curiously at first and lowered her body as if she was smelling it. Then, she turned her head away with an obviously disgusted expression and chirped a few more times.
At that moment, Hazel, who was praying with Bishop Utravsky, turned her head and saw this scene. She fell silent for a moment before walking over. She took out some spiritual materials and placed them on Silika's ground.
Silika then let out a few joyful cries and flapped her silver illusory wings to sweep up the spiritual materials before disappearing.
"Thank you very much." Ebner looked at Hazel and smiled. "I wouldn't know how to entertain 'Silika' without your help."
"Even if you don't give her anything, she won't do anything. At best, she'll be a little angry. Next time, she'll throw the letter right in your face," Hazel said dryly.
"There's such a thing? Are you—er—very close to her?" Ebner asked, surprised.
"After all, I've already lived here for ten days. I also know Mr. Cullen and Madam Judy… One time, Silika was in a bad mood, so she directly threw the letter at Mr. Cullen's head." Although Hazel's tone was calm, there was a hint of a smile in her voice at the end.
However, this once arrogant girl quickly restrained her expression and turned back to the Earth Mother's Sacred Emblem to continue praying.
Ebner was not surprised to see this. After all, he had seen such scenes many times before. He was in no hurry to ask the bishop about the "Fallen Morning Star". Instead, he opened Cullen's reply.
"Pure silver products… Although we Sanguine isn't afraid, we don't really like them.
Speaking of which, you really are similar to Roselle. The first gift he gave me was all pure silver…
"In addition, I think that the feathered hat is very suitable, so I chose it as a gift. You can return the rest of the jewelry.
"Your friend, Cullem."
