Mystery: The Fool's Witch Angel

Chapter 5 Demon Traces
On a quiet street somewhere in Pritz Harbor, the red light of the crimson moonlight hit the steps outside the shadows.Several people gathered around and whispered:

"We lost it, damn it, that thing is really evil, we have locked it"

"If you want me to say, it's good to just blow the thing up, and let someone who knows divination help us find its accomplice afterwards."

"I agree with Wick, next time I see it, just do it directly."

"It's still a simple and direct idea of ​​your Church of the Storm," Royle said while studying the traces left behind.

The buildings on both sides were silent, a middle-aged man with disheveled hair and dark blue eyes came out from the shadow of the aisle, with suppressed anger on his face.Everyone saw that they leaned over one after another.

"Captain, what's up, have you caught up with the other one?"

"What's up, Captain"

"The other party summoned the demon's projection assistance, and then escaped. Obviously, they have been preparing for a long time."

The middle-aged man responds to the others coming up to Royce
"Royce, can you divination out any information?"

"Captain Ove, I'm sorry, the other party is at least the Sequence 7 serial killer of the criminal path, which interferes a lot with my divination, Pritz Harbor is too big, we can't accurately find this killer"

"Diego and the others should have news. Wick and Rody, you continue to monitor this area. If there is anything, please notify us directly. Royce and I will go to the other side to meet with the Nighthawks to discuss tonight's situation."

After Ove finished speaking, he took Royce and another assisted Nighthawk Viken and disappeared into the dark corridor. Wick put away his windbreaker and Roddy walked down the street.

Hermione dreamed of her own childhood, and her older sister. "Dad" was always chattering beside her, instilling the belief of taking the family as her own responsibility. Her older sister sat quietly in front of her and listened. Her father reprimanded her for moving impatiently. The face turned around was blurred, and looking at Dad again, Dad's face was also out of focus, Hermione kept watching the two, trying to see them clearly, suddenly the picture rotated, Hermione woke up, and the crimson moonlight outside the window Sprinkle on the bed.

Am I dreaming about my current body?When I was young, my father and sister couldn’t see their faces clearly, but I could directly feel their identities. Is it the obsession deep in my heart?It seems that only by going to Intis to find them can we learn about this aspect of memory.

A shadow on the street outside the window moves along the right angle between the house and the ground, marking something?
The vigilance of her spiritual intuition made Hermione instantly sense that something unfriendly was coming nearby. Hermione in a nightgown came to the window and sent her observations to the shadow on the street.

The shadow was still marking his own things at this time, and Hermione came to the sky above the house opposite the shadow through the sensitivity brought by the hunter. Although most of the abilities were silenced due to the balance of the branding, the abilities of the hunter path could still be used.

Just as he was about to make a move, the other party suddenly sped up and rushed forward, followed by Hermione, condensing a ball of compressed white flames in his hand, condensing into a small fire bird and hitting the shadow, the shadow suddenly split into several balls, one of them turned into The phantom blocked the flame and exploded directly on the street. The loud noise and dazzling white light woke up the nearby residents. The shadow quickly merged into one and continued to flee.

"It's over, it's causing big trouble. Royce and Diego, who just agreed, have to arrest you first to prove your innocence." Hermione chased while thinking, and was awakened by a few people seeing a white Shadow quickly ran over from the roof.

At this time, a black outline of human nature is revealed in the shadow

"Ma'am, I didn't do anything to you, did I? We have no conflict with your Witch Sect!" A cold voice sounded, "If you keep chasing me like this, those Nighthawks and Punishers can just go We're going to surround you."

Hermione has already sensed that the opposite is a Sequence 6 demon.As expected of a demon, I was noticed to run away when I showed a little thought, I lost a lot of abilities and became so weak, and how could he run away like a shadow, is there a strange magical item?
"I just simply hate demons. I really don't like the filthy smell on your body. I'm sorry, Mr. Demon, you are under arrest now, and your behavior is illegal, do you know?" Hermione thought of the previous A meme, very suitable for the current cat and mouse.

The outline of humanity melted into the shadows, and Hermione chased him to the open space in front of the slums, thinking to himself, "This man is too good at running, what kind of magical item can support him for so long, I'll see if I can get it later." '

The shadow suddenly changed into a huge black humanoid monster more than three meters high, with goat-like horns growing out of its head, covered with countless mysterious patterns, holding a huge flaming sword in its hand and waving it backwards, uttering obscene words "Degenerate".

Under Hermione's instinct, groups of flame birds blasted forward, quickly covering the whole body with flames to isolate and burn the filthy black viscous liquid brought about by the fall.

The demon threw the huge flaming sword in his hand and charged towards the flames. The huge explosion forced Hermione to condense the wall of fire to protect the debris behind him, otherwise it would burn and spread to the slums. A disaster was inevitable, so he came here On the first day, he was arrested for arson.

The devil is very smart. Although he is not sure about Hermione's ability, he knows that Hermione's scruples use the slums to escape.

Hermione disposed of the flames from the explosion, leaving only a puddle of charred black liquid on the charred ground. "Let him run away! It's hard to explain now." Hermione looked at the traces, this demon should have several magical items, it seems to be a big trouble.

"This beautiful lady, it's so late at night, and she's at the fighting scene alone in a nightgown, don't you plan to explain?"

A young man wearing a top hat and formal attire walked in from outside the clutter space, followed by several people in similar attire.

Hermione didn't panic, because she sensed that Diego and the others were coming,
"Miss Hermione, please explain to everyone." Diego followed up from behind, still saying without emotion
Hermione opened her hands and looked at everyone with a helpless expression. It seemed that the problem would not be resolved at half past one tonight, and it was almost dawn.

In a utility room of a farm on the outskirts of Pritz Harbor, a shadow emerges from a corner full of tools, turning into a human silhouette and reverting to a human appearance. Half of the face is covered with black viscous liquid, and the other half is extremely pale. Part of his hair was burnt, and if he didn't have a magical item in his hand that is good for hiding and running away, he might not be able to come back.At this moment, the utility room opened, and a man with the same pale face walked in.

"Gilead, Shiloh's current whereabouts are unknown. I guess she has died in the hands of the Nighthawks. We can't stay here anymore. We have to move quickly."

"I met a witch last night. I won't admit it wrong. She still has some hunter abilities. My danger perception made her come to me before I realized it. But if it is a demigod, I may be in the night or now. The storm church is under. Leave the missing and unaccounted for, and abandon the Pritz Harbor stronghold and retreat."

"Gilaard, how are your preparations for the ceremony going?"

"Nothing is perfect, let's go find a few more targets elsewhere, Gilead."

In the dawn, the two left in the carriage on the farm along the east road.

In the ship information consulting company separated from the Church of Evernight, Hermione sat on the sofa in the living room wearing a black coat and told the few people in front of her what happened last night. Of course, she didn't forget to introduce herself.

"Last night, I saw that figure sneaking around. I couldn't hold back and rushed up. I felt that he was preparing some kind of ceremony. I was already very careful! Forgive me, everyone."

"This is similar to what we found. According to several cases these days, it is basically certain that this demon is planning to advance to Sequence 5. I have already reported it to the Cardinal. Senior deacons will come to help us deal with the demon." Ove Supporting his chin, he leaned on the chair and said calmly, while Royce beside him was thoughtful.

Wicken, wearing a man's gray round hat, walked in at this moment.

"Mr. Ove, Mr. Royce, Miss Hermione, the captain, they are back and have a big harvest."

The three of them followed Viken to the closed room on the ground floor,
Several people were standing around a dead body. The young man at the front saw everyone coming in. He fixed his eyes on Hermione and said, "Miss Hermione? It's our first meeting. I'm Voss, the leader of the Nighthawks team. City chief, your first visit made Pritz Harbor a sensation"

Hermione stared at Voss, delusional?He wanted to pull me into a dream, according to the inherited memory analysis, this person in charge is at least a Sequence 7 nightmare!But the other party didn't have any malicious intentions, and Hermione still believed in her spiritual intuition.
Voss smiled awkwardly, probably because he was discovered,

"If it wasn't for the church's record, Miss Hermione, I'd have a big head now, wouldn't I, Captain Ove?"

Voss quickly changed the subject.

"Last night, Kelly, Delfina, and Neeson squatted down on one of the murderers, the corpse in front of you. We wanted to catch him alive, but I didn't expect her to suddenly lose her mind and attack all around."

"Have you confirmed your identity?" Ove stepped forward, and Royce took out a crystal ball and began to fiddle with it

Hermione also saw the female corpse, half of her face had been smashed to pieces, and the brain tissue inside could be seen, her skin was pale, the other widened eyes were still mad like before death, her clothes were covered in bullets. Holes and blood, hands already twisted.

"It's confirmed. Her name is Shiloh. She came to the place where I checked the address more than a month ago. The boss knows that she lives in seclusion. Except for paying fees on time, she basically sees people at other times."

"That's all." Ove looked at Voss

"My Captain Ove, the other party is a serial killer! How could he easily expose his information? It is not easy to bring back a corpse. The house where he was captured was destroyed by the battle. The hotel owner asked for money. Don't die, when the battle is over, you actually jumped out and grabbed my clothes corner to demand compensation."

Voss reluctantly gave Ove a wry smile.

Royce finished divination at this time, put away the crystal ball, and put the female corpse's belongings back on the table.

"I can feel that they are no longer in Pulitzer Harbor, and have gone eastward. We can ask the police station to use the pretext of improving the security of the Pulitzer area to pay attention to the movement of strangers in the eastern area. If the scope is smaller, we will probably be able to Locked on their direction."

"Worth, I'm going to investigate first, you damn demon, you want to escape after killing someone in my territory, I'll let them see the wrath of the Punisher (crazy old buddy)." After saying goodbye to everyone, Ove said, They left with the punishers.

Voss suggested that everyone should have morning tea before going home to rest.

"Miss Hermione, let me introduce you to everyone." Coming to the living room outside, Voss introduced the Nighthawks at Pritz Harbor to Hermione, and Hermione also remembered their appearance and names: Captain Voss, speak A bit humorous, looking young and handsome, with short golden brown hair and a high nose bridge, a typical Loen gentleman; Diego still has a cold face without any emotion, sitting next to Voss; Kelly is not tall, Hermione is about the same size as Hermione, but Hermione is a little taller; Delphine is wearing a men's formal suit with short hair, and her neutral face makes people feel very capable. Hermione thinks it's a pity that she doesn't want to be a model; He is of medium height, with a thin body that gives people the feeling of a younger brother at home, wearing a gray round hat; Nissen is middle-aged, with his hair combed back.

Hermione happily introduced herself to everyone, she relies on her friends when she goes out, so come more.

Captain Voss took a sip of the fresh milk and reminded Hermione not to run around in the street in her nightgown next time. Fortunately, it was at night, otherwise the men in Pritz Harbor would fight for you.

At this time, Diego rarely said, "Your magical item, I dropped by that craftsman when I went there last night, and it will be ready in a few days."

"Thank you, Diego." Hermione now knew why Diego had suddenly left on the way back.

"You're welcome, the other party is helping out for the sake of the Nighthawks."

"By the way, Miss Hermione," Voss continued, "I hope to get your help in the subsequent campaign to encircle and suppress demons. As you know, the church mobilized a lot of forces to encircle and suppress the followers of evil gods in the southern continent. The demon family took advantage of the short-lived They came out of the vacuum to make waves, and although there were no major accidents, the indirect homicides have already made the people panic.”

"No problem, Mr. Worth, I will assist you." It seems that friendship is rewarded only after giving.

Voss looked at the time, and it was almost time, so he asked everyone to go back and rest.

In a certain church in a large village in the eastern part of Pulitzer, a gray-haired priest was writing at a desk, when the shadow of his body cast by the light from the window in front suddenly distorted.
