Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 154 Morse Town

On Tuesday morning, Angel took a public carriage to Zouterand Street as usual, and entered the Blackthorn Security Company.

After Old Neil's death, the entire Tingen team was filled with a negative mood. Even the joy of learning about the "acting method" could not be diluted. Angel and Klein had not looked for the "Red Chimney" building for several days. .

Pushing open the door to the reception hall on the second floor, Angel saw Miss Roxanne sitting on the sofa at a glance. She was wearing a long black dress. She was rarely making coffee or preparing hot water, but focused her gaze on the coffee table. A newspaper on the bed remained untouched.

Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, she turned her head and looked at Angel blankly.

"Good morning..." She suddenly froze, "Hey, it's really you, Angel. I thought I made a mistake at first glance... Did you put on makeup today?"

Well, it turned out to be true...

Angel sighed secretly and put his hand on his cheek.

Early this morning, when she was washing up, she discovered that although the "witch" potion she took yesterday did not change her gender, the transformation of her body was still comprehensive.

The lines of her limbs are softer, her skin is more delicate and fairer, and even the scars caused by injuries in previous battles have disappeared.

Especially in terms of appearance, if the original "Instigator" Angel and Cole Granger were still similar enough to prevent people from doubting their blood relationship, the current "Witch" Angel is almost the same. Cole's facial features are gone and become more feminine.

Also more beautiful and charming.

Fortunately, this change did not change her overall appearance, so that Luo Shan could not even recognize her colleagues, and would only suspect that the other party had put on makeup on purpose and made a "small change".

This is the confidence that a double dose of "Witch" potion brings me...

Angel murmured that the "Assassin" path was harmful, but he couldn't explain the change in his appearance. He could only nod and admit:

"I just learned it from the newspaper and tried it myself."

If it were Miss Roxanne last week, she would have asked which newspaper it was, or asked Angel to take some time to teach her. But this week, Roxanne just said "hmm" and looked back at the newspaper on the table. No more words.

Until Angel left the reception room, her newspaper was not turned over.

After passing through the corridor and arriving at the recreation room where the Nighthawks spent their time, Angel found a table of people already sitting inside, playing "Fight Evil."

Klein was holding playing cards in one hand and playing with a penny in the other. The copper coin was spinning on the table. Every time it was about to stop, the "clown" with nimble fingers would flick on the edge of the coin to speed it up again. Rotate.

Leonard across from him seemed to be staring at the cards in his hand, but in fact his mind had wandered to nowhere; the last player was the white-haired Siga Theon, she was the only one who still focused on the game. , but now it was not her turn to play the cards, and the writer could only yawn in boredom.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the three of them looked up, and when they saw it was Angel, they looked back, but then they turned their heads and returned their gaze to her face.

"You... put on makeup today?"

Sika asked questions that the other two men were not comfortable asking.

"I read it in the newspaper..."

Squeezing out a smile, Angel excused himself with the same reason again.

Fortunately, none of the three absent-minded Nighthawks paid close attention, but Klein's eyes continued to linger on her face, and then he frowned in confusion, as if he remembered something.

Pulling out the latest newspaper from the bookshelf next to him, Angel was about to leave the dull entertainment room and go to the sofa in the hall to kill time when he saw Dunn walking through the corridor outside the door, turning around a second later and entering the room. .

Today's captain is not wearing a windbreaker or vest. His white shirt is messy and wrinkled. His short light brown hair is also messy, but his eyes are still bright.

"So you are all here," his eyes swept across the four people in the entertainment room in turn, and finally stopped on Leonard, "Leonard, there is something going on in the town of Morse near Tingen. You go over and deal with it. Try to come back before nightfall." "What happened, Captain?"

Without waiting for Leonard to answer, Klein, who was playing with the copper coins, held down the rolling penny, raised his head and asked.

"In the past two days, there have been several suspected haunted incidents in the town. Some residents heard strange cries, footsteps that could not find the source, and even a woman saw her deceased husband. Almost all the locals were goddesses. believers, so the priest of the church in the small town reported to us directly."

Klein's eyes gradually lit up as he listened to Dunn's answer.

"A suspected haunting incident? Is there any secret in it, or does it involve extraordinary power, like the ghost we encountered in Ramde Town last time?" He rolled his eyes and looked at Renner as if by accident. De glanced at him and said, "Maybe I can help Leonard with divination, or simple channeling."

Such a purposeful speech immediately made Leonard look at the other party, his green eyes filled with confusion.

Dunn didn't think much about it. He thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement: "That's right. In some cases, it may be necessary to purify the ghosts through ritual magic. Then you and Leonard go to Morse together."

"Okay, let's go now."

Klein answered briskly. He collected the coins he had won in front of him, put them in his pocket, stood up and left the entertainment room, leaving only Leonard with a puzzled expression on his face.

Before the poet could catch up, Klein returned to the room from the corridor. He said to Dunn solemnly:
"Captain, I think the haunting incident in Morse Town is still unclear. If we have to deal with the worst case scenario, such as a powerful ghost, Leonard and I may..."

"What more do you need?"

Dunn interrupted his description directly and asked.

"I would like to apply for the use of Sealed Artifact 3-0782, the 'Mutated Holy Emblem of the Sun'. It is very lethal to undead and ghosts and is very suitable for this mission."

"But level 3 sealed artifacts can only be applied for when a team of three people act together. You..." Dunn was about to shake his head and refuse, then looked at the two remaining ladies in the entertainment room.

The way he left and came back just now didn't look like he suddenly remembered the need to use the Sealed Artifact, but rather as if he had planned it... His target was that Sealed Artifact?
Angel secretly analyzed it, looking at Klein who was looking at the captain solemnly, but with his right hand at his side and tapping his thigh with his index finger. This action was something he would do when he was nervous.

"I'll go with them, captain, so that three Nighthawks can act together and use the sealed artifact to avoid the worst case scenario."

Seeing Xiga Te'ang on the side eager to try, Angel volunteered to fill in the last hole in the team.

"...Okay, you three should go as a team and come back as soon as possible. Leonard, come to my office to get the application, and then go to Chanis Gate to take out '3-0782'. Remember..."

"No more than six hours, got it, Captain."

Leonard answered without waiting for Dunn to finish.

"……Correct."

After being answered, Dunn was speechless for a moment. He looked at Angel, the last member of the team, and frowned.

"You today..."

"Wearing makeup, yes, Captain."

Angel also imitated Leonard's tone and answered quickly.

Dunn opened his mouth without finishing a few sentences, and his tangled expression made Sijia chuckle at the side.

The dull atmosphere in the room was finally diluted a little.
