Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 148 Out of Control
"So, the 'Seer' path really needs to be at Sequence 7 to obtain abilities such as flash of flames and paper doll substitutes..."

Klein introduced the new abilities he gained through the "Joker" potion, including the strengthening of the body, the enhancement of fighting ability, and the ability to intuitively predict the enemy's next move and gain a premonition of upcoming dangers.

When Angel launched an attack just now, he had detected it in advance and responded appropriately, but the potion could not give him combat experience. After just one move, he was countered by the experienced Angel.

The "clown" Klein, who failed to turn himself over, looked enviously at Angel's left wrist, where the "magic pocket watch" containing the characteristics of a "magician" was hidden, and possessed three extremely practical extraordinary abilities.

That will be his next goal.

While the three were chatting, Dunn and Leonard walked out from behind the partition.

"Why are you all here? Have you completed the inspection?"

Seeing that Angel and Klein, the two Nighthawks being tested today, were both in the reception hall, Leonard asked puzzled.

"They are already Sequence 8. Leonard, you have to speed up, otherwise you will be caught up by the younger generations."

"It's all already..."

Leonard couldn't believe it, his eyes moved back and forth between Angel and Klein.

Dunn, however, seemed to have expected the result, and nodded calmly. He did not wear the windbreaker that was almost always on his body, but a vest and a white shirt. He looked thin, but more energetic.

"By the way, Captain, when I came up, Your Excellency Sesima asked me to tell you, all extraordinary people and old Neil, go to the alchemy room one by one and complete the last step of the examination."

Klein, who was still immersed in the joy of being promoted, saw Dunn and quickly conveyed the "Goddess Sword" entrustment to him.

The last step...According to Da Li, it should be to let everyone make an oath not to reveal the secret of the "acting method"...

Angel guessed.

"Okay, I'll be the first to go. By the way, I'll inform Old Neil and Frye. Oh, he's on duty at the Chanis Gate today. Leonard, you'll be second. It's your turn when I get up, and you'll have to go later." Inform Luo Yao who is on vacation at home, only she is not here now."

Dunn quickly arranged the order, then left the reception hall and headed to the basement.

The remaining four sat on the sofa around the coffee table, enjoying the pot of coffee that Angel made.

"Maybe I should find an opportunity to submit a special application to be promoted to Sequence 7. I have learned something from listening to your discussions on how to master potions these days."

After drinking the carefully brewed coffee like a cow, Leonard said casually.

You should be promoted to "Actor" in Sequence 7...

Seeing his poor acting skills, Angel cursed.

"If you can be promoted as soon as possible, you may have the opportunity to serve as the acting captain of the Tingen team."

Daly finally left the newspaper in her hand, looked at Leonard, and said.

"Acting captain?" Leonard's face showed undisguised doubt and bewilderment, and then his doubts turned into shock.

"Could it be that the captain is going to be promoted to Sequence 6?"

Sequence 6... Same as the captain of the "Red Gloves", Soest a few days ago?
Angel looked at Klein, who had just been promoted to Sequence 8, and found the same shock in his eyes.

Daly, who revealed the information, just smiled and said nothing.Her smile at this moment has no haze of the past, no aura that seems soft but repulsive, coupled with the fact that she has removed her make-up and ornaments today, making several young nighthawks a little stunned for a while.

"Don't reveal it to others."

Leaving such a sentence as a confirmation, Daly got up and left the reception hall.

The remaining three people looked at each other in blank dismay.

"I didn't expect...the captain who has been waiting for three years in Sequence 7 and has no idea is going to be promoted."

Leonard murmured.

Angel had already noticed it. When she and Klein were about to submit a special application, Dunn asked how he felt when he "fully mastered the potion" and thought about it. At that time, he probably already had a similar experience. Comprehension, but I'm not sure that this is the reminder to finish digesting the potion.

"I guess Ms. Daly must have confessed her relationship with the captain!" Leonard's next sentence was off topic, which caught people off guard, "I just don't know who spoke first, I made a bet with Rosanne ...Hey, they have been ashamed to speak for so many years, what on earth pushed these two..."

His last word was in such a low voice that it was hard to hear.

That's what I did at the risk of being gaslighted...

The corner of the mouth of the hero behind the scenes twitched, and he couldn't help but want to smile, but worried that Leonard would guess the truth, so he could only suppress his expression.

……

Not long after, Dunn, who was wearing a shirt vest and no top hat, returned from the basement and replaced Leonard, who still wanted to gossip about his captain.

"What's up with him?"

Seeing Leonard's strange eyes before leaving, Dunn asked curiously. "Maybe I want to ask you for advice on playing 'Nightmare'. He seems to be preparing to be promoted to Sequence Seven."

Klein suppressed a smile and replied.

After Dunn made the oath, he should have also learned about the acting method, and there was no need to worry about leaking secrets and breaking the oath between them.

Hearing the answer, the gray eyes of this "Nightmare" became dark.

"Then I can teach him...or let him experience it for himself."

Is the captain too deep into the drama... Remember, "playing" is just playing...

Angel lit some wax for the unlucky Leonard in his heart.

----

As a night watcher entered the underground alchemy room, returning to the reception hall with doubts on his face, or deep in thought, the investigation by the "Goddess Sword" was coming to an end.

Frye, Sika, and Kenli expressed their congratulations and thanks to Angel and Klein. The former expressed their promotion to Sequence 8, and the latter thanked them for sharing the secret of the "acting method".

After being asked to make an oath, these smart teammates also noticed something, and understood why Angel and Klein had to be so purposeful after submitting the special application, and even seemed a little anxious to tell them "how to master the potion".

Perhaps the senior deacon, Crestel Sesima, also saw through the minds of the two, but acquiesced in their sharing behavior before taking the oath.

At least during the inspection process, he did not question this.

Now only old Neil, who entered the alchemy room, and Luo Yao, who was resting at home, were left. When the two of them also finished the examination, today's matter would be successfully concluded.

The chatter of several Nighthawks became more heated, while Dunn stood in the corner with a smile, looking at the team members who were in high spirits.

Until Crestel came from behind the partition with a serious face, his raised collar had been put down, exposing his lips and chin.

The senior deacon looked around the hall, his gaze resting on Dunn.

"Dunn, come with me to the alchemy room... Ms. Granger, go to Daly and ask her to come down too."

The noisy reception hall seemed to have been pressed the pause button, and it became completely silent in an instant. The Nighthawks looked at each other, not knowing what happened to the investigation in the alchemy room.

Dunn gave them a calm look, followed Crestai and left quickly.

He asked me to find Ms. Daly, which means I should be fine... Could it be Klein?
Angel quickly reviewed the whole process of the inspection, then looked at Klein, who shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.

But the order of the senior deacon must be carried out. Angel also left the reception hall, searched along the office, entertainment room and other rooms, and finally found Daly sitting in the captain's armchair in Dunn's office.

"Let me go down too? What's going on?"

Daly's sleepy face was full of doubts.

"I don't know. It's Crestel's order. The captain is already there."

Angel was also at a loss.

The two walked along the stairs to the underground passage, turned left at the intersection, and approached the secret door leading to the alchemy room.

Before reaching the door, Angel smelled a faint smell of blood, the closer to the alchemy room, the more obvious the smell.

But the corridor was empty, with no blood or other abnormalities.

She looked at Dai Li beside her, who also had a serious face.

Taking a deep breath and taking out "thirsty blood", Angel quickened his pace, walked in front of Daly, came to the secret door, and pushed open the door of the alchemy room.

Blood, blood all over the floor!

The floor of the alchemy room, which was plunged into darkness, was covered with irregular bloodstains of different sizes, as if it had been randomly splashed by an abstract painter.

If you look carefully, you can still see pinches of fine long hairs on the blood stains.

Through dark vision, one can see a naked person lying on his back in the center of the room. He is covered in blood, his gray hair and beard are also stained with coagulated blood clots, and there are a pair of scars on his forehead and cheeks, which are still bleeding.

Creste Sesima stood aside, holding the bone sword less than one meter long, and it was this holy object that absorbed the surrounding light.

Behind the senior deacon was Dunn, who was pressing his temples with a tired face. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned his head, and his eyes were rarely seen with a trace of bewilderment and pain.

Angel's heart sank gradually.

Old Neil was out of control.
