Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 109
It was near noon the next day that Angel came to the Blackthorn Security Company on Zouterand Street.

This is Dunn Smith's arrangement, because the negative effect of the "Magic Pocket Watch" lasts up to twelve hours. Last night she used the pocket watch to save Klein and beat "Witch" Triss away at about 9 o'clock. Negative effects will last until after 9:[-] this morning.

Fortunately, the "Assassin" has dark vision, and turning off the lights does not affect her night life.

After greeting Rosanne, Angel came to the door of Dunn's office.

Before knocking on the door, the captain's voice came from inside:
"come in."

Angel opened the door wordlessly and walked in, closing the door behind him.

The lights in the office were not turned on, and the curtains were pulled up. After closing the door, the room was pitch black, only a ray of sunlight leaking in from around the curtains stained the wall next to the window.

In her dark vision, Dunn was sitting behind the desk, resting his chin on one hand and resting the other on the table, staring at herself with deep eyes.

This...couldn't be the way the captain researched to play "Nightmare"?
That's weird enough.

Angel groaned, found a chair and sat down.

"Crack, crap."

Seeing that Angel sat down, Dunn took out a lighter from his pocket and pressed it a few times.

A faint flame burst from his hand.

He looked over the flames and looked at Angel expectantly.

The latter looked back suspiciously.

"Captain, what's the matter?"

Dunn seemed even more surprised than she was. After a long silence, he let go of the lighter and extinguished the flame.

"Are you no longer afraid of fire?"

"Captain, the negative effect of 'Magic Pocket Watch' is only twelve hours, and I don't think 'Nightmare' should be like you..."

"Yes, I remembered, the effect of photophobia should have ended two hours ago."

Dunn put away the lighter with embarrassment, stood up and opened the curtains to let the sunlight into the office.

"Cough—let's talk about business." He sat back in the armchair and assumed a comfortable office posture, "After Klein's divination failed last night, I asked Leonard to go to the police headquarters overnight to issue a warrant. This morning Wired reports said that a woman in the wanted warrant, Triss, left Tingen City on the first steam train bound for Backlund."

"Have you caught her yet?"

Angel asked eagerly, but immediately she saw a trace of regret on Dunn's face.

"No, although Backlund has asked the passengers on the same bus, and some people have seen this beautiful woman, but she should be alert, or it is simply her usual habit to get off the bus halfway."

"It is worth noting that her companion, the 'Witch of Pleasure', did not leave with her on the steam train."

"You mean that she is likely to remain in Tingen?"

Dunn nodded: "That's right, last night when I reported the incident that affected the entire Tingen to the Holy Church, they sent the latest information about the 'Witch Sect', this Sequence 6 'Huan The Happy Witch is likely to be the follow-up member to take over from Mrs. Sharon and sit in Tingen City."

"But don't worry too much. We destroyed their evil ritual and saved the lives of dozens of citizens. And her existence has been exposed, and she will be wanted by all Orthodox Churches. As long as she makes a move again and tries to do similar things , will be reported by the masses, noticed by the police, and arrested or killed by the official Extraordinary.”

Another arrest warrant...

Over the past month, Angel has learned that the number of Extraordinary beings on the wanted list cannot be counted on one hand.At present, except for the "assassin" who was accidentally bumped into by her and killed in the dock area, none of the other wanted persons have been arrested, and even no useful clues can be found.

Of course, if a Sequence 6 Beyonder is determined to escape, the possibility of being caught by an official Beyonder is very small, and Angel is also mentally prepared for this.

"Also, about the selfishness... the incident of picking up the magical item belonging to the mechanical heart..."

Seeing that the other party was silent, Dunn turned to mention another matter.

coming……

Angel put his legs up, changed his sitting position, and hid his left hand by his side, out of Dunn's sight.

She quietly pressed the crown of the "Magic Pocket Watch", and only needed a little force to activate this magical item and gain the extraordinary ability of "flame jump".

It wasn't that she didn't trust her captain. When the battle ended yesterday and she started to inspect the house where the altar of curses was located, Dunn asked her to stay alone in the living room to keep watch. All the other nighthawks entered the dining room where the altar was located.

She knew very well that this was the space Dunn deliberately left for herself to "escape". This at least showed that Dunn would not take drastic measures to ask her to return this magical item, or simply notify the Holy Church that the She, a Nighthawk who violated discipline, was arrested and brought to justice.

Leonard should also understand, and acquiesced to this behavior, Klein...he just got injured and lost blood, and his condition is very poor, so he doesn't have the energy to think about these issues.

"According to the agreement between the Nighthawks, the Heart of the Machine, and the Punisher, this Extraordinary item that Tomac stole from the Heart of the Machine should be handed over to the Heart of the Machine together with him after capturing or killing Tomac. Heart."

Dunn didn't seem to notice Angel's small movements, and said with a serious expression.

"Since Tomacs, the defector from the 'Mechanical Heart', is still missing, this pocket watch is temporarily in your custody until you capture or kill him."

what?
Angel was stunned.

Dunn's pretended serious expression instantly turned into a smile, with a hint of cunning.

"You have to thank Leonard and Klein. They have been begging for you since last night, and Klein even came to me early in the morning."

He said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but then he felt that this was a serious topic, so he suppressed his laughter again.

"In short, I will delay reporting your matter to the Holy Church, but just in case, I will use my own channels to test the attitude of the above, which can at least avoid the worst result."

The worst outcome refers to the collusion between Tingen's market value Night Squad and the secret possession of magical items...

Angel was suddenly moved. Dunn must have been under a lot of pressure when he made this decision. He could have pretended not to know, or reported the truth, and waited for the decision from his superiors, but now he is deliberately concealing it. ", he also has to bear the responsibility together.

"Besides, the church will only focus on those mystical items that have obvious side effects and are likely to cause casualties, and number and manage them as sealed items..."

When Dunn changed the topic, the smile on his face became more obvious.

"That pocket watch is called 'Magic Pocket Watch'. Its negative effects... I think it should be less likely to cause casualties or major extraordinary events."

He seemed to recall the situation after Angel fell into a negative effect last night, and finally couldn't hold back his smile, and turned his head to hide it.

Captain, quickly return my emotion...

Angel felt a little fever on his face.
