Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 144 "Goddess Sword" Sesima
Daly made a mistake. In fact, the church has the follow-up potion formula of the "Assassin" pathway?
But looking at her smiling face, she didn't have the anguish and regret of getting the truth wrong...

Could it be that because Daly knew that I had become an "instigator", she deliberately asked me to submit a special application, allowing me to choose between exposing my strength and taking the same sequence of potions?

If he drank the same potion again, would he lose control on the spot?Or do you want to replay?

Angel's mind was working rapidly, and he turned his eyes to Klein beside him, only to see that the other person was also looking at him with a worried look on his face.

Dai Li, who was sitting on the sofa, smiled even more. She seemed to be happy to see Angel anxious and at a loss, until even Dunn realized something was wrong and cast his doubtful eyes on Angel:

"What's wrong with you? Crestel said he would let you go down for examination first. If you feel unwell, you can let Klein go first."

"No...it's okay, I..."

Angel didn't know what to say.

Could it be that the only way to pass the exam is to pretend to be unwell?

"She's fine, she's probably just too excited, after all, when the test is over, she'll be the 'real instigator'."

Daly's lazy and smiling words came.

The real instigator...

Why emphasize "real"?
Angel suddenly realized that he had misunderstood what Dai Li meant.

If she really wants to harm me, there is absolutely no need to say that "the church has the potion of 'Instigator'" now, as long as I don't know it, pass the test of "Goddess Sword" Crestel, and wait for him to give the potion formula And the materials are put out, let me configure and take it on the spot...

Could it be that what Daly meant was implying that Creste Sesima already knew that I had become Sequence 8, implying that I should not lie?

And as long as I pass the test, in the eyes of Dunn's equivalent, I became the "true instigator" after taking the potion under the witness of Crestai...

I just don't know if this is Daly's own decision, or has he communicated with the "Goddess Sword" Creste Sesima who came to investigate?

After thinking about this, in her eyes, Daly's slightly mocking smile, which looked a little weird at first, turned into encouragement and blessing.

"Thank you, Ms. Dai Li."

Angel smiled again and responded.

"As long as you understand, go down quickly and don't keep Crested waiting too long."

Daly nodded slightly, turned her head away, and picked up the coffee.

Confused by the conversation between the two, Klein frowned first, then stretched out, and understood the hidden information between the conversations. The worry on his face faded, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Dun En was left in the dark, his gray eyes were full of doubts, and his eyes kept moving back and forth on several people.

------

Angel walked slowly in the underground passage of the Blackthorn Security Company.

To the left of the intersection is the alchemy room, but she stopped at the intersection.

Even if she believed Daly's judgment, she was still a little hesitant at this time.

If he had known that Klein would have come down first to take the test, at least he wouldn't have to worry about problems if he drank the "Joker" potion...

Taking heavy steps, Angel finally opened the secret door of the alchemy room.

A space has been cleared in the room, and the long tables and chairs that are usually arranged neatly have been moved to the corner, leaving only two high-backed chairs facing each other in the middle, with an interval of about one meter.

Among them, a male was already sitting on the chair facing the door, about thirty years old, wearing a black windbreaker that almost everyone in the Nighthawks had, with a high neckline, covering his chin with the white shirt collar under the windbreaker.

He has short golden brown hair and dark green eyes. In the dim light of the alchemy room, he looks as calm as a lake at night.

"You must be Ms. Angel Granger, please sit down."

Seeing that Angel opened the door and entered the room, he spoke first, his voice was somewhat magnetic, like the voices of pop singers that Angel had heard in his previous life.

"Yes, Your Excellency Cresta Sesima."

After nodding and answering, Angel sat on the high-backed chair opposite him, folded his hands on his thighs, and squeezed out a smile on his face, like a graduate participating in a company interview.

"Dun En should have told you what I am here for, then I will get straight to the point. First, I need to test your mastery of potions and determine whether your personality has been changed by the spirit left by the potion. Leave hidden dangers."

"You have three minutes to adjust."

After saying this, Crested took out a pocket watch from the inner pocket of his windbreaker, opened the cover, and focused his eyes on the dial.

Angel took a deep breath, closed his eyes, blocked out visual interference, and began to adjust his physical and mental state through meditation.

"Da da da."

The only sound in her ears was the sound of the second hand of Crestel's pocket watch.

Soon, these sounds were also silenced by meditation.

The 3-minute wait was very difficult. Angel wanted to open his eyes and directly asked to start the examination, but he was afraid that this would leave a bad impression on the other party.

Just sleep for a while...

As soon as the thought appeared, it filled the whole brain uncontrollably, and a strong sleepiness came over her, like a soft pillow on her head after a tiring day and night. She almost gave up thinking in an instant, in this silent and lightless environment. Sleep peacefully.

... No, this is not on the bed in the bedroom, but at the scene of the investigation!
The suppressed spirituality gave a faint sense of vigilance, which made Angel wake up as if being stabbed by a needle. She withdrew from the meditation that seemed to have ceased to last, and opened her eyes, only to find that the gas lamp on the wall of the alchemy room had become dim. The lampshade itself could be illuminated, and the Crestel, the high-back chair, and even all the tables and chairs that had been placed in the corners in front of her disappeared in her dark vision.

The test has already started?Didn't you agree to give me 3 minutes to prepare?
She suppressed her beating heart and sat on the chair in the original posture, her eyes were constantly searching the surroundings, and her ears were listening to any sounds from the surroundings.

Soon, Angel heard the singer-like voice of Crestel. He was humming an unknown but very beautiful melody, which seemed to be constantly surrounding the entire alchemy room, making it difficult to tell the direction from which the sound was coming.

The melody gradually became high-pitched and chaotic, and the speed was fast and slow, but it couldn't step on the beat or tune. There were also various sharp noises that looked like musical instruments and friction between different objects.

The various "instruments" accompanied by the off-key humming sound were getting closer and louder, giving Angel an urge to grab Crestel's neck and force him to align with the pitch and rhythm.

This is a test... This is a test...

Angel resisted the urge to draw out his gun and stab indiscriminately with his dagger, tensed his back, stiffened his limbs, and sat upright on the high-backed chair.

Gradually, those noises reduced and disappeared, and Crestel's humming returned to a fixed beat and tone, becoming elegant and beautiful.

The last beat rests on an octave higher coda.

"Very good, you have withstood the test and have not shown any tendency to lose control, which shows that your mastery of potions is perfect and there are no hidden dangers."

Crestel and his high-backed chair reappear in the alchemy chamber, along with vanishing lights, stacked tables and chairs, and his magnetic voice.

Hearing this voice again, Angel had the urge to beat him.

It's a pity that this is the "Sword of the Goddess", a senior deacon of Sequence 5, and she doesn't dare.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Sesima."

She smiled and replied.

　Hey, how could Sister Dai Li harm you?
