Chapter 191 enters a new story.
Lucia's tough stance towards Raphael stemmed not only from anger over the fact that the missing person was her brother, and Raphael's refusal to offer any assistance, but also from her past discussion with Miss Sharon about the "werewolf" who maintained his sanity in the western forest.
Sharon guessed that it was most likely Raphael.
She made this guess using the process of elimination: there are at least seven or eight werewolves in the whole of Backlund, but most of them are either "indulgence" or "moderation" types, and there are no more than two wild werewolves.
Of course, there should have been more than a dozen werewolves in Backlandre, but five werewolves died in the battle that took place in the forest on the night of the full moon!
Therefore, for a long time after that, the number of "werewolfs" in Backlund should have remained in the single digits.
As for why Miss Sharon felt there were very few wild "werewolfs," it was because of Sequence 8 of this pathway.
He's a "madman" and could easily be killed by the official extraordinary beings.
Furthermore, if one is unaware of the "playing method," there is a possibility that the "madman's" potion might not have been fully digested before the "werewolf" is transformed into a "werewolf."
In other scenarios, such a situation might at most result in a slightly worse condition, but in the "Prisoner" scenario, it's highly likely that the situation will spiral out of control on the spot.
Therefore, there are very few wild extraordinary individuals who are fortunate enough to become "werewolfs".
Coincidentally, Sharon knew a somewhat special "werewolf." The reason he was considered special was that Raphael seemed to be Klein's subordinate, and Sharon thought that Raphael was very likely also a follower of the "Fool."
So Raphael's ability to remain rational during the full moon might be due to the protection of "The Fool".
Sharon's teacher has now established some contact with Klein, so she didn't explain the "Fool" issue too clearly to Lucia.
However, Lucia, unaware of the "Fool's" affairs, assumed that Raphael possessed some secret that allowed him to remain rational on the night of the full moon.
She was determined to obtain the secret, so she deliberately provoked Raphael, seeking an opportunity to strike.
But to her surprise, Raphael was far more arrogant than she had imagined, and actually wanted to kill her in order to obtain the extraordinary characteristics of the "Wraith"!
Lucia sneered and was about to make a move when Maric suddenly said, "Don't drag me down with you if you're looking for death."
His statement was somewhat of an exaggeration.
Marich just noticed that the black gloves Raphael was wearing looked a lot like the ones Klein had worn before.
This magical item once belonged to "Hurricane General," who had seen Klein use it before; it was a very powerful sealing artifact.
In a one-on-one situation, Lucia really doesn't have much of a chance.
Maric made the situation sound very serious, but it was just a final reminder from a colleague. In reality, he didn't think that he and Lucia could kill Raphael if they joined forces.
But killing this person would be troublesome; it would offend Klein, and possibly even "The Fool."
It's not worth the risk.
What Marich didn't know was that his statement was not an exaggeration at all. Raphael was indeed confident he could kill Lucia in front of Marich.
Lucia wasn't stupid either; when she heard Marich say that, she immediately realized that things weren't that simple.
She snorted and said, "You'd better have nothing to do with my brother's disappearance."
She cleverly steered the conversation toward her brother's disappearance, essentially saying: I suspect you're involved in my brother's disappearance, which is why I'm angry with you.
Raphael considered for a moment before saying to Marich, "If I encounter her elsewhere, and neither you nor Miss Sharon are present, I hope that killing her will not affect our friendship."
His consideration was that the exploration of the ruins was basically settled, and Dawn Dantes was already paying the previous fees, so he didn't need to pay anything more.
But killing Lucia would make things more complicated, so they decided to just make some threats and leave it at that.
Maric had to smooth things over by saying that the other man's younger brother was missing and had a bad temper, and asked Raphael not to take it too seriously.
He somewhat regretted bringing Lucia along.
To prevent further conflict, Marich immediately took his leave, and they departed in a carriage as usual.
After the carriage left the block, Maric said to Lucia from inside the carriage, "If you encounter Raphael alone, turn around and run. He has a powerful sealed artifact on him."
Lucia nodded. She didn't intend to take any risks and planned to go back and write to her father, hoping he could intervene if necessary.
The secrets surrounding Raphael are far too important for extraordinary individuals on the "Prisoner" pathway.
Raphael, at the Mafia headquarters, chatted with Carter for a few more minutes before leaving in a carriage.
Just as I was leaving the neighborhood, I glanced out the car window at Raphael out of habit and saw another "familiar face".
He was a middle-aged man with a beard, wearing sunglasses, and a scar on his left cheek; he was one of the two MI9 members that Hugh had asked Raphael to find.
Raphael was taken aback for a moment, feeling that this was too much of a coincidence. Marich had just asked him about the young man named Jonathan, and now he had run into the MI9 member that Hugh had asked him to find.
At this moment, Raphael seemed to have thought of something, and took out a cross pendant from his clothes. It was "Adam's gift," which Raphael usually sealed with the "wall of spirituality," and would only infuse with spirituality when needed.
However, this sealed artifact has a negative effect that will be effective as long as it is worn: it will cause the wearer to unwittingly enter other people's stories.
In other words, you will inexplicably encounter some extraordinary events.
Raphael realized that he had clearly been unwittingly drawn into this matter.
After thinking about it for a moment, he felt that since he had already joined in on this matter, he might as well take the initiative.
Raphael didn't see this negative effect as a burden; on the contrary, he felt there was an opportunity in it. After all, in his view, only by participating in extraordinary events could one reap extraordinary rewards.
So he had the coachman drive the carriage back, while he followed at a distance behind the missing MI9 members. Finally, he watched as the target entered an abandoned factory.
Raphael caught a nature spirit and had it help keep watch, while he himself quickly sent a telegram to Hugh: "Found a missing MI9 agent. Come to 77 Screw Avenue immediately and be careful to stay hidden."
This is a readily available helper, so why not use it?
After sending the telegram, Raphael bought two pairs of sunglasses nearby, because according to the information he had seen before, making eye contact with these people seemed dangerous, but wearing sunglasses could avoid that.
Upon returning, Raphael first learned from the Nature Spirit that the target had not left the factory, and then he continued to keep watch.
Around noon, Raphael finally saw Hugh, disguised, arrive.
