Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 340
For a moment, Adele suspected that she was still in a dream.

"Five stars will rise...meaning there will be five more murders tonight?"

Wendy's voice was a little trembling, she was not psychologically prepared for this situation, so when she became a witness, she seemed a little flustered.

"Obvious."

Adele said solemnly, "However, we have now discovered that the other party is hiding in the dark and sneaking in. They are so confident that they can complete a limited number of murders under the noses of more than 100 people on board without leaving any clues?"

Adele has seen this method of advance notice many times. Many assassins who have just become Extraordinary like to do this. It can make the target become a bird of surprise, revealing many flaws that were not there before, and at the same time satisfy them to appreciate the despair of others Looks like a morbid addiction.

However, after the advance notice, most of the targets will be very alert and take precautions in advance. This kind of murder notice with other limited conditions (such as quantity and time limit) often means self-defeating.

Once the goal in the notice is not achieved, the killer will lose face and may even lose his life.

As a professional assassin, while Adele deeply despised this kind of behavior, a trace of uneasiness also surged in her heart.

The "Xuefeng" has only been out of the port for a few days now, and it will take at most three days to return to the port at full speed from now on. Even if the other party's declaration takes effect, by the time everyone returns to the port, at most a dozen sailors will die; But if the hidden existence can be hidden from the people on Adele's boat, can it also be hidden from the demigods at the port?

Besides, the demigods who are the commanders now have more means to summon William Augustus, the "Founder of the Nation". Even if the demigods can't find it, the angels can always deal with it, right?In the end, what they won was just a few days.

But the other party still made this kind of immature declaration in Adele's eyes... Is it because the other party is stupid, so stupid that they think that a few people can stop the sailing of this fleet?

No, obviously not, the other party dared to show their cards to Adele, they must have determined that they can solve the problem by relying on the current means, and kill all the crew on the iron-clad ship before the ship arrives at Behrens Port;
Of course, it is also possible that their purpose from the beginning was to force Adele and her group to return home so that they could take the opportunity to sneak into Port Behrens to do something...

In short, Adele doesn't have much information right now, she can't determine the other party's motives, and she can't make a good response right now.

After thinking about it, Adele still had an idea.

"I thought of a way, you go... No, let's go together."

Adele ordered subconsciously, but remembering the current rule on the ship not to leave alone as much as possible, fearing that something might happen to Wendy, she forcibly changed her words: "Let's go to Tracy first, she should be able to help."

……

Soon, the two of Adele came to Tracy's room and knocked on the door. Not long after, the steel hatch opened, revealing Tracy's slightly tired face.

Although this does not affect the beauty of the other party, and even adds a kind of haggard beauty to her, Adele is not concerned about these.

Before Tracy could open her mouth to ask what was going on, Adele stuffed the piece of paper into her hand.

"It appeared again, the piece of paper with the curse written on it."

Adele got straight to the point and confessed directly to Tracy.

"Come in and talk."

Tracy didn't talk nonsense, she turned sideways and let the two into her room.

This place was decorated by Adele for her. It is quite different from the luxurious captain's cabin seen on the "Black Death" before, but it also has a warm feeling, and it is Adele's favorite decoration style.

Tracy didn't express her opinion, but Adele once saw her take care of the potted flower that Adele put on her windowsill, so at least she shouldn't hate her for it.

"Can your disease ability bring the entire ship into your sphere of influence?"

Adele first asked such a question.

"Of course." Tracy felt her abilities were insulted, "When I was on the 'Black Death', as long as I stood on the deck, the people on the pier could feel my charm and be popular. disease infection."

"Although the qualitative change of this ability is at Sequence 4, when I was at Sequence 5, I was able to expand the range of influence to a radius of hundreds of meters... Panatia, who is specialized in this ability, was only at Sequence 4 at the beginning, and she can already Let the fog sweep the entire area of ​​Backlund; and as a Sequence 5 me, it is enough to affect an area within a range of [-] meters."

"Then, do you have a way to make the two diseases restrain each other, and find a way to delay the symptoms of the fatal disease?" Adele continued to ask.

"Theoretically, it's okay."

Tracy thought for a moment and nodded. "The disease of the 'Witch of Pain' is actually realized in the form of a certain plague aura. I can cast multiple non-overlapping auras at the same time, so that the two diseases in the middle cancel each other out."

"Well, later I will notify all the sailors to gather on the deck, and you will directly cover all of them with the aura of disease, and then directly cover the entire ironclad ship with a bigger aura of disease."

Adele made a decisive decision and directly instructed Tracy.

Tracy was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood what Adele meant, showed a clear expression, and nodded in agreement.

There is a lot of space on the ironclad ship, and in incidents involving extraordinary power, ordinary people can play very little role. The three people who died before have already proved the effect of the other party's camouflage skills on ordinary people with their lives.

Therefore, under the current situation, instead of letting the crew members disperse in groups of two to look for the ambush assassins, on the contrary, let them gather as many people as possible to avoid single-handed accidents.

……

After the arrangements were made, Adele quickly summoned all the sailors with sound transmission magic, and asked the naval officers among them to count the numbers.

Looking at the group of sailors on the deck who were uneasily glancing at her while counting, Adele couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

——I don't know the cause and effect of the matter, even if you come to please me, I can't guarantee that the next one will definitely not be you...

Soon, several team leaders ran up, and one of them reported to Adele:

"Everything is fine, no issues, everyone is here."

"Arrived?"

Adele was startled, "How many people are there today?"

"Five people from 110." The captain of the navy squad whose name Adele had forgotten replied.

Adele was stunned suddenly, and then quickly took out the notepad in her pocket. The first page of the book was the attached crew list.

Adele quickly turned to the last line, and found that the crew number at the end was "115"!
"how can that be?"

Adele was stunned for a moment, "Three murders happened just yesterday, how could the crew still be 110 and five?"

"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" The captain of the navy asked rather puzzled.

"Of course not, have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?"

Tracy scolded without hesitation, "Three people just died yesterday, so who..."

However, she was stunned halfway through the speech, and then tapped her forehead hard, "Strange, why can't I remember who the dead person is?"

After trying hard to recall, Tracy still couldn't recall the previous events, and hurriedly glanced at Adele in a panic.

But Adele was also in a state of shock at this time, and she didn't expect that she would forget such a big thing.

"Your Excellency, Captain, you really like joking." The navy captain smiled honestly and nodded, "If such a thing really happened, even if you don't remember it, you will find that there are few people when you are working."

"If you still don't believe me, I'll let them stand in line, so it will be more convenient for you."

The captain shouted the command, and the pirate mercenaries on the ship quickly lined up in a 5X23 square formation, neatly, without any missing piece, and everything proved that yesterday's murder did not happen.

"By the way, the corpse, didn't the corpse be taken away by Constantine and turned into a living corpse?"

Adele suddenly remembered this incident, and hurriedly looked for Constantine in the crowd.

"That's exactly what I want to tell you." Konstantin expressed frustration, "This morning, those bodies suddenly disappeared... I just asked them to go back to the warehouse and cover themselves with a white cloth, and then I found out disconnected..."

This, this is not mysticism...

Adele felt a chill down her spine for no reason, and things gradually became unbelievable.

"Do as I say, how long will it take for your disease to develop to the point of death?"

Adele asked Tracy.

She intends to directly use the disease to make all the sailors present here lose their fighting power in a short period of time, control those who may pretend to be the dead, and then use the more lethal disease to directly kill all the possible ambush outside. .

The witch's disease is different from normal viruses and bacteria, and is closer to a spiritual virus. It needs the spiritual aura of the witch to directly contaminate the spirit body of a living person to cause disease, and it will not contaminate the food and other dead objects stored in the cabin, so Adele is not worried about the repercussions of wantonly releasing the plague on the ship.

The current situation has exceeded Adele and Tracy's expectations. Although several Beyonders who have seen the corpse remember that there was a corpse, they don't remember the appearance or name of the corpse at all; while the crew on the ship only remember Adele I told them in the morning that there were three bloody serial murders on board last night, but I didn't seem surprised by the result of a lot of people on board.

"About 30 minutes."

Tracy replied, and at the same time gave Adele a questioning look, which meant "can I start?"

Adele felt for no reason that this well-known pirate general had obviously started to waver at this time... This was something no one wanted to see.

Adele nodded heavily, and after explaining the situation to the soldiers, Tracy gently raised her hands.

She raised her hands flat to her chest, and two halos of distinct colors spread out around her body. This is an ability that can only be discovered by the special type of spiritual vision that is unique to extraordinary people of the witch path. Patients can only be found when there are mild symptoms and abnormalities in the body.

Afterwards, Tracy untied the empty glass vial from her waist, shook it vigorously twice, and then opened the cork.

A gust of wind spread outward, spreading the scope of the ring of disease to the entire ship in an instant.

When Tracy chose the magical item, she considered that the magical item called "Bottled Lightning" could store lightning, storms, or heavy rain, which suited her fighting style. Now she happened to use it to spread diseases quickly.

After a few seconds, Adele felt that her nose was slightly blocked, and then everyone around her showed similar signs, but most of the witches had a certain resistance due to the same way, so they behaved more a little better.

As time passed, everyone on the entire deck coughed violently. Except for the witches who protected themselves with black fire, most of the sailors had grim expressions. Many people never knew that coughing could be so terrible one thing.

However, if you look at the outside environment, you know that the conditions on the inside of the deck are already very favorable.Maybe the outside scene is not intuitive enough, but if you look carefully, the birds that fell from the sky with their rotting internal organs and the fish whose bellies floated up from the water all showed that Tracy's plague had a terrible effect.

Being able to achieve this level, there is no change in her expression... Now, Tracy may apply to the sect to become a demigod at any time as long as she has accumulated enough merits...

Adele's thoughts flickered. After all, after Katerina was taken to the starry sky by the mysterious color, Tracy was the most suitable person to inherit her faction and clique, but the premise was that she had to contact the Witch Sect in time and report to the sect. Prove that you are not dead yet.

As for suppressing opposition voices, now Tracy also has a dual identity. She is not only a member of an outlying organization of the Witch Sect, but also a thug of the Kingdom's military. She also has Adele's support either openly or secretly. On the contrary, it is a simple matter.

It's just that, even if she kept her strength intentionally, she was still in pain after contracting her disease... After all, she is a witch of pain who has completely digested it, and it has become a habit to bring pain to others...

Glancing at the sailors lying powerlessly on the ground, Adele extinguished the black flames around her, leaving a few Extraordinary people to guard the deck, while herself and Tracy prepared to inspect the entire ship again to check for signs of damage. An assassin who was forced to break out of hiding due to illness.

So far, there are too many secrets on the carrack galleon that suddenly appeared. Adele has a hunch that if it is not resolved as soon as possible, it may turn into a big problem, the kind that may have a decisive impact on the situation.

However, 10 minutes later, the two returned to the deck with confused faces.

They didn't even encounter a single ambush that should appear during this inspection!
