Chapter 74 I Don't Like Him
The buildings behind the Cathedral of Holy Wind are the residences of the "Substitute Punishers".
The person on duty at this time is Senior Deacon Mendes.
There are three high-ranking deacons stationed in the outskirts of Backlund, all of whom are Sequence 5.
The Church of the Goddess of Night and the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery are also equipped with the same extraordinary power in normal times.

A member of the "Punishers" burst through the door: "Butler, that werewolf has appeared again!"
Mendes jumped to his feet excitedly: "It's appeared again!"
Then he asked, "Where is it this time?"
This senior deacon is currently handling the werewolf case.
"At Calvin Thomas's wedding," the member of "The Punisher" emphasized, "the werewolves killed the groom at the wedding."
"He killed someone?" Mendes clenched his fist.
"Yes, murder." The members of "The Punisher" didn't know why the butler was so agitated.
Mendes slapped his forehead before saying, "Let's go take a look."
Two days ago, at a meeting of several official Extraordinary organizations to discuss the werewolf case, they speculated that the werewolf, which only appeared in people's sight but did not kill, was likely performing some kind of ritual or digesting a potion in a special way.
But how come the other party killed someone again just a few days later?
The office area of the Ruen Charitable Education Foundation.
Audrey, who was working, was suddenly enveloped in a gray fog. She did not panic, because it meant that other members had asked Mr. Fool to contact her.
The next instant, an image appeared in the gray mist before Audrey's eyes: blue hair, bronze skin—it was Mr. "The Hanged Man".
The "Hanged Man" in the picture is in a praying pose: "A fool who does not belong to this age."

After reciting the name of "The Fool," the Hanged Man paused slightly and then said, "Dear Mr. 'The Fool,' please help me contact Miss 'Justice.'"
"I hope to learn about the Aurora Society's recent retaliatory actions in Backlund through Miss 'Justice's' channels."
"I don't know the specifics of the retaliatory operation. I only heard that this operation made the higher-ups very angry. Although they are often angry, it is clear that this time they are determined to eliminate several important members of the Aurora Society."
"Because I just reported some information about the Aurora Society, my superiors also asked me to use my channels to get information about this operation."
"We can discuss the specific compensation when we meet."
Audrey's gaze then returned to normal: "The Hanged Man is very cautious. Even when he's praying in a secluded place, he says 'Let's talk when we meet,' instead of 'Let's talk at the next tarot reading.'"
Thinking of this, Audrey, who had her own office, also prayed to Mr. Fool: "A fool who doesn't belong to this age."
After reading "Yes, sir," she said, "Dear Mr. 'Fool,' please convey to Mr. 'The Hanged Man' that I will write to Raphael Collins immediately."
True to her word, Audrey immediately picked up a pen and wrote a letter after finishing her prayers.
Just as Audrey finished writing the letter and was about to have it mailed, a staff member outside exclaimed, "That werewolf has reappeared!"
Audrey smiled slightly, knowing that Raphael was digesting the potion again.
So she listened attentively to the discussion outside the staff, and when she heard that Raphael had actually killed someone, Audrey was somewhat surprised:
Wasn't he trying to digest the potion? Why did he kill someone? And at the wedding, he killed the groom!
Audrey frowned and decided not to send a letter to Raphael for now, but to go and talk to him in person tomorrow or the day after.
It was a little after 3 p.m.
After being questioned by the police and the official extraordinary individuals, Raphael left the wedding venue. There were many people at the wedding today, and these impoverished nobles would not care about the movements of a gang leader.
Of course, the main reason was that Raphael's departure scene was performed very well, and everyone felt that the werewolf had left.
Because everyone is saying this, it has misled the investigation of the official extraordinary individuals. At least for now, the official extraordinary individuals have not realized that it was a smokescreen launched by the werewolves.
Unless it's an official extraordinary being who performs psychic communication with everyone, no one will suspect him for the time being.
Not long after leaving the venue, Raphael, sitting in the carriage, suddenly felt as if he were being watched, but the gaze quickly disappeared.
Raphael frowned; he knew very well that this was definitely not a misperception.
But for a moment he didn't realize who was watching him.
However, the worst-case scenario is that the official Extraordinary Ones have already noticed him.
Raphael took a deep breath and decided to continue living his life as usual for the next few days.
However, if you discover that you are being monitored, you must find an opportunity to escape Backlund immediately.
Raphael's spiritual perception was certainly not an illusion, but he wasn't being targeted by official extraordinary individuals; rather, he was being scrutinized by "the living dead" Bennett and "the devil" Charlie, who had followed the clues.
Of course, they each examined their own situation and did not join forces.
Because Raphael was traveling in a regular Mafia carriage, they only glanced at him casually before letting him leave.
However, the nobles who followed were less fortunate. They were secretly captured and interrogated or subjected to spiritual interrogation. Among them was a fallen noble whom Raphael had once comforted.
Late at night, Raphael, who was about to rest, glanced out the window.
A pale, sinister face was pasted on the window, and even with the spiritual warning, Raphael was startled.
Then the face transformed into a dark shadow and entered through the crack in the window.
The shadowy figure stood up again, transforming into a thin, somewhat sickly man.
It's Mr. C.
He asked angrily, "Why did you kill Calvin Thomas?"
Raphael replied, "I don't like him."
"Why did you kill him!"
"I don't like him!" Raphael was telling the truth, and he knew very well that Mr. C wouldn't kill him for Calvin's sake.
Mr. C stared coldly at Raphael for a while before saying, "In a few days, you will be given another mission. There will be no reward, and it will be somewhat dangerous. Consider it your punishment."
The members of the Aurora Society generally have one or more flaws, and Mr. C certainly wouldn't lose a Sequence 7 member because of this incident.
Raphael smiled and said, "No problem."
After Mr. C left, Raphael yawned, said "Goodnight" to the two plush toys on the table, and then rested as usual.
The following afternoon, because someone asked Raphael for help, he went to the factory district and "talked" with a factory owner.
After finishing their "work-related" business, Raphael's carriage returned to the streets of the bridge district, and it was already getting dark.
In Backlund, it gets dark very quickly after sunset.
After traveling along the bridge area for a while, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the driver said, "Mr. Collins, it seems there has been a carriage accident ahead."
Raphael gave an "oh" and didn't take it too seriously. Just as he was considering whether to walk back, his spirit suddenly sensed a dangerous aura.
He quickly stuck his head out of the car window to look. The accident scene not far ahead looked normal, and the two drivers were arguing their case to reduce their liability.
Several carriages had already blocked the area, and a few people had gotten out of them and were watching the commotion at the accident scene.
Raphael's eyes narrowed as he spotted two living corpses among the onlookers!
