Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 379
The opponent of Sequence Five...

Adele felt her heart pounding nervously.

It's not like she hasn't faced a Sequence Five opponent before, whether it's the artisan Matafari or the mixed monster on the Nebuchadnezzar, they all have the Sequence Five level.

However, Matafari himself had no combat experience, and the demonic state with combat instincts was suppressed by himself, so he could not display much of his abilities.

The stitch monster fought entirely by instinct, and its own actions were not flexible enough, so it could only fight against Adele.

To put it simply, none of them was a complete Sequence Five, and Adele didn't face it alone, so it still caused her a lot of trouble.

The only thing to be thankful for now is that I have some understanding of the secret puppet master, and know that the most critical ability of the opponent's initial control must be within five meters of the target. Even if the potion is digested, this range is definitely not that big.

But now, Adele is in a warehouse with simple terrain and no one around. Sotos can't hide in the crowd and approach her, let alone manipulate her.

Having said that, Adele couldn't take this guy back directly, because she knew that if this Sothos was left here, it would be difficult for her to find him out again.

This time, I caught the opponent by surprise and forced Sotos back. If he stabilized his position, with the secret puppet in his hands, it would be difficult for him to take advantage of him.

Adele pondered for a while, glanced at the surrounding environment, couldn't help shivering, and finally gave up the pursuit.

The danger of leaving Frank's mushrooms alone is definitely far greater than that of a secret puppet master...

Adele was a little helpless, and finally gave up the idea of ​​chasing after her, and began to use black fire to clean up any fungi that might exist in this space.

Groups of black flames quickly emerged from her fingertips, and flew to different corners of the warehouse under her deliberate control, and then started to use the mycelium in the air as fuel like a real flame, and quickly spread to the surroundings.

Soon, only a small area protected by the frost where Adele was standing remained untouched by the black fire in the entire warehouse, and the rest of the area had been swallowed by raging flames, which looked quite spectacular.

With the presence of spiritual fuel around, the spread of the black fire does not require the user to continue to infuse spirituality, so cleaning up these fungi does not consume much for Adele.

Black fire is different from ordinary flames, it burns without smoke, so Adele doesn't need to worry about lack of oxygen and other issues, as long as she waits quietly in the center of the fire.

After more than ten minutes, the black flames in the warehouse were slowly extinguished, and the originally transparent mycelium in the air was burned into light gray ashes, which floated down one after another, forming a thin layer on the ground.

Almost all the mushrooms in the warehouse were burned, and even the mushrooms on the dead bodies were not preserved.

It's almost time, now is the time to leave...

Adele was having such thoughts in her mind when she suddenly heard footsteps in the distance.

Do those two guys still want to come back? Adele had some doubts in her heart, but she hid rationally, planning to see who came first.

The moonlight is not bright tonight, but the man who rushed over carried a lantern, which made it easy for Adele to see his attire.

He was wearing a black and white police uniform, with a solid wooden baton pinned to his waist. His appearance was more typical of the aborigines of the Southern Continent, and he was not very recognizable.

It seems that the sound of the explosion just now attracted the nearby policemen, who specially came over from the patrolling place to check...

Adele was a little relieved, but she hadn't completely let go of her vigilance, she was still hiding in the hiding place, observing the other party's actions.

This policeman was obviously just a patrolman on the street. He didn't carry a gun. He only had a baton in his hand. He looked carefully at the warehouse door for a while, and seemed to be frightened by the corpse in the room. He sat down on the ground and struggled for a while. After a while, he stood up tremblingly and walked into the warehouse.

With Adele's hiding skills, it is completely impossible for ordinary people to find out, so Adele was able to find a good angle to observe the policeman's actions carefully, and at the same time notice the movement at the door, and beware of another possible presence enemy.

After a brief observation, Adele couldn't find any flaws for the time being, so she walked out from her hiding place and greeted the policeman:

"Where are you a patrolman? What are you doing here? This place is currently being taken over by the military."

When speaking, Adele deliberately exposed all her hands to avoid causing unnecessary tension to the other party.

However, the mysterious woman who suddenly appeared behind him still frightened the patrolman, turned around suddenly, and then slammed into the iron box in front of him.

"Don't panic, this is my ID."

Seeing the other party's reaction, Adele frowned, and took out her ID from her pocket, "Navy Lieutenant Adele Circe is currently in charge of the investigation of the Ayahuasca incident."

The patrolman stretched out his hand tremblingly, and caught the ID handed over by Adele, but failed to open it after several attempts, so Adele could only stand aside and wait.

Am I that scary?This question flashed into Adele's mind unknowingly, and her state tensed up a little.

"You, you, you, what are you going to do?"

As if aware of the change in Adele's state, the policeman immediately raised his baton, trying to distance himself from Adele.

"No, I don't mean anything malicious, it's just that there was a battle here just now, and some effects are left... By the way, there is a mushroom on your shoulder."

A thought suddenly flashed in Adele's mind, and then she raised her hands and bent her wrists, pointing to the policeman's shoulder.

In the next second, the policeman showed a ghost-like expression on his face, and he jumped back suddenly. He was not as nimble as a middle-aged patrolman, and his speed was scary. It was completely an instinctive reaction.

However, when he subconsciously turned his head to look at his shoulder, he was surprised to find that the uniform on the shoulder was clean, where was there any mushroom?
"Oops……"

Just as this idea flashed into the patrolman's mind, Adele's figure had already rushed into his arms like a cheetah, and the survivor's Hidden Blade popped out in his hand. It has penetrated into his chest, almost halfway through!
Afterwards, the patrolman's body gradually became lighter and thinner, forming a pierced paper figurine, which slowly fell to the ground. The black fire on the tip of the Hidden Sword missed the target and slowly exploded in the air.

And his main body appeared on the other side of the container clutching his chest, his face swelled with granulation, and finally turned into Sothos' Intis-like face full of hatred.

The blow just now was too fast, and the distance between the two sides was too close. For the assassin, the distance was almost instantaneous. Even though Sotos used a substitute in time, Adele still pierced his lung department.

Adele originally aimed at the heart, but in the middle of the assassination, Sotos gave up his disguise, and his figure changed slightly. In the end, the stab that Adele thought would never miss missed the target. Black Fire also failed to hit.

Sure enough, this guy has the ability to change his appearance...

Adele was extremely grateful in her heart, glad that she made the right bet.

The information Gaglan and Adele narrated only included the "Master Puppet" and did not include the pre-sequence, so although Adele had seen the magical item corresponding to "The Faceless Man", she didn't know about the "Master Puppet" The pre-sequence of the movie is "The Faceless Man", so she didn't immediately realize that there was something strange about the appearance of this patrolman at the beginning.

What really aroused Adele's vigilance was the policeman's reaction after seeing Adele.

Originally, it is understandable for ordinary people to be frightened when they are suddenly stopped in similar circumstances, but Adele is a "witch". From the moment she decided to appear to negotiate with the police, she took the initiative to use herself The attraction of the opposite sex, so that an ordinary person can still maintain hostility towards her, it seems not so normal.

Moreover, he can see my disguise...Geglan didn't mention to me that the Secret Puppet Master has similar abilities?
Adele thought about it, and finally she guessed that this was a branch of the other party's ability to manipulate the thread of the spirit body.

At first, I thought I was hiding it well, but the other party could see my position from the very beginning, pretending to be stupid while waiting for me to come to my door... If I hadn’t taken the initiative to remind him to be careful of the residual influence, I’m afraid he would Preliminary control has been completed!
Adele sighed in her heart, but her hands did not slack in the slightest. Countless tangible and invisible silk threads spread out around her body and spread to every corner of the room, like a huge spider web, pulling Soto Adams is stuck in the middle.

Seeing that Adele was chasing after him, Sothos didn't dare to neglect. He stretched out his hand and pressed the wound on his chest, and the huge wound that had pierced his lung was directly transferred to his left hand, directly piercing through it. He tore his upper arm, causing the whole arm to droop, but at least it reduced the injury and turned the fatal injury into a serious injury.

Afterwards, the matches in his pocket exploded quickly, forming a fireball as high as a person, swallowing him whole, and appearing at the other end of the warehouse.

This is the ability of the "Magician" to flash flames. Sotos intends to use this ability to fight Adele and find a chance to control her.

However, as soon as he landed, he encountered a transparent silk thread, and the end of that thread was connected to Adele.

Adele reacted quickly, stretched out her hand and pulled in the direction of the shock, and countless tough silk threads flew towards Sothos like blades, forcing Sotos to roll in embarrassment, avoiding the pursuit of the threads.

However, in the process of evading, he encountered more silk threads. These threads throughout the warehouse are very thin and not very strong. The only advantage is that they do not consume much spirituality. Cover the entire warehouse.

Most of the witch's skills are persistent, and abilities such as black fire, plague, and thread can last for a long time.However, except for the plague, other abilities consume a lot of spirituality only when activated, and do not consume much spirituality when manipulated.

Among the silk threads that Adele pulled each time, only a few were infused with enough spirituality to have the strength to cut through the human body, but Sothos didn't dare to bet, and he couldn't tell which thread was the real one in a hurry. If there is a threat, I have to dodge all of them.

Adele entrenched in the center of the silk thread was like a real spider, attacking the prey that fell into the web according to the vibrations from her silk web. Sothos was still unable to get within ten meters of her.

However, relying on the two effective displacement abilities of flame jumping and paper doll stand-in, as well as the agility not inferior to assassins, Sotos moved around in the tide-like web of threads like a storm. Although the small boat has been pushed to the cusp, it just won't capsize.

It's a pity that I haven't reached Sequence Five yet. If I can add a covering plague halo now, after half a minute, the other party should also get sick...

Adele sighed in her heart while calmly controlling the distance.

Witches who have not been promoted to Sequence Five still lack a stable means of output in the combat system. Simply put, the hit rate of skills is not high, and they need the plague aura to provide a reliable weakening skill.

During this time, Sotos was also trying to attack Adele. Although he didn't carry a pistol, he could use methods such as snapping his fingers and simulating sounds to create air bombs that were as powerful and fast as bullets fired from a high-pressure steam rifle.

Coupled with his flexible flash of flames, he is a Sequence Five after all, and his spirituality is already more abundant than Adele's, forcing Adele to deal with it with full concentration.

However, at this moment, the ceiling above Adele's head suddenly collapsed, and a figure was holding a sheathless epee in his hand that he didn't know where. The blade was still burning with a bright flame, and he slashed at Adele. down.

He still kept a secret puppet, the Cassian who was taken away by him? !

At this moment, Adele was creating a hexagonal ice shield to block the air bullet fired by Sothos. She seemed to have no time to dodge the purification slash that fell from the sky.

In the next second, the broad sword plunged straight into the ground, and the sacred energy contained in the blade surged around, igniting the spider threads that hadn't disappeared yet.

There was a crackling sound of broken glass in the air. It wasn't Adele who was chopped into pieces by the giant sword, but the ice shield that she used as a cover. Now it has transformed into a prop for the mirror substitute. ,

At this time, Adele's real body had already appeared behind Secret Puppet Cassian, and her right hand covered in black flames directly grabbed Cassian's shoulder, and a raging black flame rose immediately where it was touched.

Substitution spells are not exclusive to fortune tellers. Witches are just as good at substitutes. Even in tricks alone, there are even more witches than fortune tellers!
If you can use a substitute to abolish the opponent's Sequence Seven secret puppet, this deal is quite a bargain...

Adele was thinking this in her heart when she saw a holy light descending from Cassian's head. The domineering black flame was purified by the holy light before it even had time to spread under the holy light.

Well, it seems that there is still no way to make a trick... Adele smiled wryly, looked around, and found that Sothos had already disappeared from her field of vision.
