Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 381
Seeing the body of Sotos falling slowly in front of her, Adele let out a long sigh of relief.

This was the first Sequence Five opponent she solved alone. Although the process was within Adele's calculations, there were still many dangerous places.

Due to the opponent's sequence characteristics, Adele didn't suffer much injuries, but this was entirely because Frank's mushroom was too terrifying and the opponent's final control failed.

Adele had already discovered that Sotos had been replaced by Santana, so she purposely smeared Cassian's blood on Sotos' body, and at the same time quietly poured the last bit of mushroom powder on it.

Although the opponent can see creatures with spiritual body threads through the ability to observe spiritual body threads, they obviously cannot see these mushroom powders without spiritual body threads.And Adele's original plan was to wait here for a while, use herself as a bait to stabilize Sotos, and wait for the mushrooms on his body to grow.

This plan is actually quite risky. If Frank's mushroom grows a minute or two later, Adele may be completely transformed by Sothos.

Of course, if he hadn't concentrated his energy on manipulating my spiritual body strings, he wouldn't have been unable to spare the energy to deal with the mushrooms on his body... In fact, even if the growth speed of the mushrooms is really slower, I probably wouldn't be completely transformed. At most, he will be forced to interrupt the manipulation of the spirit body thread, and I will fight again with him without the marionette.

Adele replays the battle just now in her mind, trying to find out what she didn't handle properly.

However, Sotos taught me a lesson this time, don't rely too much on abilities that are not my own, especially the uncertain factors like Frank's mushrooms...

Adele calmed down a bit, and summoned black fire to cover Sothoth's body, burning the mushroom cap with red background and white spots on his head to ashes.

Afterwards, some faint rays of light emerged from the bloody eye sockets of Sotos, attracting each other and condensing into a ball, turning into a completely black eye without pupils.

This is the Extraordinary characteristic of a Secret Puppet Master...

Adele put a thin layer of frost on her hand, and picked up the black eye without pupil.

In addition to the black eye in her hand, she has already obtained a piece of "Puppet Master" Extraordinary Feature, a piece of "Mechanical Expert" Extraordinary Feature, a piece of "Sun Priest" Extraordinary Feature, and a piece of "Instigator" Extraordinary Feature tonight. Two do not know what way.

Sure enough, killing people and stealing goods is always the fastest way to make a fortune... Adele sighed as she looked at the Extraordinary characteristics installed in different categories.

The value of this batch of Extraordinary features alone is around [-] pounds, and if the premium is considered, it can even reach [-] pounds or more, and this money is enough to buy a piece of quality in the best city in Ahova County. A high-quality manor, buy a property that is long enough to maintain the life of the manor.

What's more, Adele has the pendulum originating from "The Fool" in her hand, and she can obtain the corresponding sequence of potion formulas through divination of these Extraordinary characteristics, and can make another fortune.

However, the Extraordinary characteristics of the Mechanical Expert have already been determined to be given to Wendy, and the Extraordinary characteristics of the Secret Puppet Master, because their own sequence is too high, are already the highest Extraordinary characteristics that Adele can take out. Ah Dale did not intend to simply exchange such good things for gold pounds.

If Wendy, after being promoted to Sequence Six, can use this Extraordinary characteristic to make a magical item that can replicate the ability to manipulate the thread of the spirit body, then it will really make a lot of money...

After briefly imagining the uses of these magical items, Adele quickly restrained her mind, searched carefully on the remains of Esdeth, and found it among a bunch of unnamed mechanical devices. The only high-energy explosive I knew was placed on the load-bearing column of the warehouse based on the knowledge I learned from Venata.

After doing this, she felt the spiritual power in her body, hesitated for a moment, and then cast a simple black magic, which quickly disintegrated Sotos's body, leaving only a black piece shining with spiritual luster in the end. skull.

This magic can use a part of the deceased's body (preferably the skull) to temporarily seal up the spirit of the deceased. During psychic communication, the skull can be broken, which is suitable for disposing of corpses when the environment is not safe.

In an unfamiliar street, Adele didn't dare to hold a psychic ceremony casually, because she was almost defenseless during the ceremony.

After doing this, Adele felt a tingling in her brain, which is a sign of spiritual exhaustion.

In the battle just now, she not only used a lot of black fire and made silk thread, but also used several curses that consumed a lot of spirituality in a row, which was close to her limit.If it wasn't for the fact that the potion of Sequence Six had been digested a lot, she might not be able to hold on.

Curses in black magic are about exchange of equal value. If you want to curse and kill a person, the spirituality you need to pay must be equivalent to that person's spirituality.If you make preparations in advance, you can reduce this consumption to about 30%.Adele directly cursed and killed Esdeth, who was also a Sequence Six, which consumed a lot of her own spirituality.

It's time to leave... Adele rubbed her throbbing forehead, took Sothos' skull and other trophies, and staggered out of the warehouse.

When she walked a few hundred meters away from the warehouse, there was a deafening explosion behind her, and the hallucinogenic drugs and mutilated corpses were all reduced to ashes in the fire caused by the explosion.

After hearing the news, the patrolmen who came to put out the flames were quickly driven away by the military personnel who followed, and the latter took over the investigation of the incident with full authority.

……

The next day, Adele didn't wake up until late, and the effects of spiritual exhaustion had not completely subsided, which made her even lose her appetite for breakfast.

After hastily eating two mouthfuls of the high-calorie breakfast prepared for soldiers at the naval base, Adele just felt nauseated, and even her favorite jam muffins tasted like nothing.

After all, I experienced such a fierce battle last night. Compared with Sotos who was killed, I am very lucky to only suffer such a little side effect...

Adele comforted herself, completely lost the idea of ​​continuing to eat, and began to look around. The sailor she saw seemed to have been electrocuted, and quickly looked away, then turned his head sneakily and glanced at her from the corner of his eye.

If it was normal, Adele might not care about these things, and might find them very interesting, but today she is not only facing abnormal conditions such as migraines and nausea caused by spiritual exhaustion, but also bears the "sleepiness" of the night veil, Survivor Hidden Blade's negative effects such as "lower luck" and "fear of water", and the dodging eyes of the sailors are a bit annoying to her.

Adele tried hard to control herself not to care about other people's eyes, while picking up the dinner plate and preparing to leave.At this time, she suddenly saw a conspicuous long white hair in the restaurant, it was Leila who was transferred to the rear.

Laila seemed to have just woken up not long ago, with a sleepy face, and she was sitting near the door with a plate full of vegetables.

Adele took the plate and went to sit down opposite Laila, and said hello to her.

"Good morning," Adele said dryly, sounding listless.

"Morning, you don't look energetic."

Laila glanced at her in surprise, as if she had rarely seen Adele like this, she was a little curious.

Of course, fighting a secret puppet master is not an easy task...

"After a battle, the spiritual consumption was a bit serious, but fortunately there was no injury."

Adele smiled wryly and didn't explain too much. Anyway, when Laila got to her office and saw the part of the documents and materials left for her, she would know what happened last night.

"That's good." Laila's tone didn't fluctuate, but she can't blame her, after all, she has been avoiding Adele since she watched Adele and Natalie play happily under Tracy's semi-forced you.

"Come to my office at ten o'clock. I need you to do a divination for me. My spirituality is very exhausted and I am not suitable for similar things."

Seeing Laila's calm reaction, Adele breathed a sigh of relief, then took advantage of the other party's inattention, poured the contents of her dinner plate into Laila's plate, and rushed out under the stunned gaze of the other party. .

Back in her office, Adele took down today's newspaper from the shelf, opened the "Southern Continent News" and read it carefully.

As soon as she opened the newspaper, Adele saw the eye-catching headline:
"The military warehouse in Port Behrens was bombed, and the terrorist organization Rose School declared responsibility for it!"

What is this? It is obviously an abandoned warehouse, and it was chosen by Intis's spies as a meeting point. Where did the military supplies come from?Besides, what does this have to do with the Rose School?
Monk Adele Zhang Er, who experienced it personally, was puzzled, and began to endure the discomfort caused by lack of spirituality, and read the news in detail.

According to the news, there are a large number of military supplies stored in the military warehouse this time as spare parts, including tents, military uniforms, etc., with a total value of nearly [-] gold pounds. Originally, the terrorists of the Rose School wanted to attack the military warehouse, but they found the wrong one. place, started a fierce battle with the guards, and finally died in the flames together with the heroic guards.

According to eyewitnesses who did not want to be named, there were traces of the cult members of the Rose School attacking the warehouse at the scene. During the follow-up investigation, letters left by the Rose School were also found, which claimed to be responsible.

Attached to the report is a picture of a burning warehouse, with smoke rising and flames rising into the sky, accompanied by police patrols fighting the fire. This composition deserves a news award.

Adele held the newspaper, the muscles on her face twisted a bit.

No, it's really just a picture at the beginning, and the content is all edited?

Although Adele can also understand that this is one of the means of unifying public opinion during the war, anyway, when there is no war, the Loen people often let these cult organizations take the blame, and now it is not bad for the war, but As a person involved, watching the news that was fabricated so far from the truth, I really can't laugh or cry.

And if it is announced that the Intis people who are making trouble behind are the temporary truce, it is very likely that the two sides will tear their skins apart and trigger a war across the entire continent again, which is something no one wants to see.

However, why make up the name of a military supply warehouse?
Adele was a little puzzled. After all, according to the news, the "people of the Rose School of thought" found the wrong target, so why didn't they say they found an empty warehouse, but made up the name of a military supply warehouse?
With doubts, Adele turned to the next page, and saw this report:

"Prince Grove Augustus returned from the front line and will inspect the working conditions of the logistics base tomorrow."

Adele seemed to understand something at once, silently put the newspaper aside, and didn't pursue these excuses anymore.

As soon as the account was checked, it caught fire, as expected of the Loen Navy...

Adele rubbed her temples with one hand, and with the other hand crumpled the investigation report she had already written to the entire Naval Logistics Headquarters into a ball of paper. I copied it briefly, but this time the words are more concise, omitting a lot of etiquette words necessary for reporting to superiors, and it seems to be written as a private letter.

Give this report directly to Mr. "Moon" and read it to everyone at the next Tarot meeting.As for the report to the superior, just follow what the newspaper said...

Although Adele had no previous experience in dealing with similar matters, the instigator's ability allowed her to perform well in guessing people's hearts, and naturally she would not insist on telling the truth to offend people.

But even so, Adele is not at all worried that the Loen Navy will suffer in this regard, because the Rose School's military system is even more heavyweight than Loen's. After all, it is the army of the native princes of the colony. According to incomplete statistics, it eats The number of empty-paid people even reached more than [-]% of an army, close to half.

If the leader of the Loen military is corrupt but has a normal IQ, then the intelligence level of the native coalition generals of the Rose School of Thought is somewhere between a brainless corpse and a drug addict who has drunk ayahuasca and drifted away.

In contrast, Ruen's army is simply a model in the industry. At least their soldiers will only lack clothing and food. Unlike the loose coalition forces in the Southern Continent, even the soldiers are fake, and [-]% of a full-staffed army is empty. [-]% of the salary is slave soldiers, and the soldiers who can really use it account for [-]% of an army.

If it weren't for the natural cover of the rainforest, it would be difficult for the low-moralized Loen soldiers to directly attack Aleser from a long distance. Coupled with the attack of the evil Sierra, the Loen army has now pushed to the end of the Pass Valley.

Originally, I thought that I had hunted so many Extraordinary beings, and I should be the one who took the biggest advantage last night. I didn’t expect the military officials to use this fire to launder twice the money. These guys are really better than Mr. "Moon" can also suck blood...

Adele sighed a little, the vampire blood-sucking is just for fun, the real blood-sucking depends on the Loen industrialist...
