Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 17 Attacked
"Something is wrong, the spirits nearby are full of anxiety..."

Daly frowned and said.

"There are powerful Extraordinary people nearby who are hostile to us!"

She stood up from the sofa, no longer the decadent look before, but looked around solemnly, then held the crystal pendant on her wrist, and opened her lips to silently communicate with certain existences.

This is the real "psychic" who is communicating with unseen spirits!
Leonard also reacted and jumped up from the sofa. He walked to the window and glanced out. There was nothing unusual about the lively Zotland Street in the North District.

"Could it be other official Extraordinary teams, such as 'Punisher' or..." Angel raised a possibility.

"It's unlikely, we all have a clear division of spheres of influence, and we usually don't randomly come to the vicinity of other squads, and Ms. Daly's reaction, this Extraordinary..."

"Better than me." Daly replied briefly.

Leonard's face changed suddenly. He hurriedly took out the revolver in the holster under his arm and broke the hammer.

"Then it is likely to be Sequence 6. Tingen City does not have such an official Extraordinary."

Stronger than Ms. Daly, so it is likely to be Sequence 6... It turns out that Daly Simone is also a Sequence 7 Extraordinary?Angel looked at Daly, who was silently communicating with the unknown existence. She didn't expect that this unattractive young woman with a rather decadent temperament turned out to be an Extraordinary at the same level as Captain Dunn Smith of the Nighthawks.

Wait, Sequence 6...

"Mrs. Sharon!"

Angel blurted out, and she saw a trace of panic in Leonard's green eyes that suddenly widened after being confused for a moment.

"Go to Chanis Gate, we have no chance of winning here." Leonard quickly made a decision, raised his pistol, left the window, and walked towards the partition of the reception room.

Although I don't know where this "Chanis Gate" is, but it's always right to follow...

Angel also stood up from the sofa. She first reached out to open the bullet box on the table, took out all the "Storm Gathering" bullets from it, put the bullets already installed in the loader into the pocket of the dress, then picked up two revolvers, and followed Leonard.

Daly also stopped channeling, she still frowned and looked around.

When Angel walked past Daly, he handed the smaller lady's revolver with the "Phantom Phosphorus Eruption" bullet to her: "Ms. Daly, you know how to use a pistol."

Daly, who had just finished the psychic, looked at Angel with eyes as deep as abyss, chuckled lightly, and said:
"Although I don't look like one, I'm still a genuine 'Nighthawk'."

She reached out to take the pistol.

Angel's hand holding the gun tightened and froze in place, as if teasing Daly, he stopped the gun in front of her.

It's a pity that Daly can't blame Angel now. She seems to be entangled by invisible silk threads. The black robe on her body is close to her body, outlining a beautiful figure.

Angel knew that the clothes on her body should be the same as Daly's, because her limbs were also stiff now, her neck was fixed, and she couldn't move.Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw that Leonard's windbreaker, which was about to go around the partition of the reception room, was clinging to his slender body. His hands and feet were posed forward, and he stopped in place like a funny puppet.

This is undoubtedly Madam Sharon's masterpiece. In Sequence 6, she swaggered into the Blackthorn Security Company through her invisibility ability, stood beside several people and used her extraordinary ability, controlling everyone present like a marionette.Although Daly got a hint of psychic ability, it was too late.

Angel could feel that the silk thread was tightly wrapped around her whole body, and the big joints of her whole body seemed to be locked up, and she couldn't move at all, and this feeling was rapidly spreading to her fingers and the upper part of her neck. It might only take a few seconds, and the only moving part of her whole body was her eyeballs.Mrs. Sharon is also waiting for this opportunity, she just needs to continue to remain invisible, and wait until the few people are completely under the control of her ability to reappear to complete her final kill.

Daly and Leonard may be trying to break free from this bondage, but Angel can't wait any longer. She must use these precious few seconds to create the possibility for others to fight back. First of all, she must make Madam Sharon who is hidden by the side reveal her real body.

She moved her left index finger vigorously, gradually clenched her knuckles, and pressed the trigger of the lady's pistol—the muzzle of the gun was facing Daly Simone who was about to take the gun.

"Sorry..." Angel's lips twitched and he spit out a word.

When the trigger was pulled, the hammer sounded, and the "Phantom Phosphorus Eruption" pushed out of the barrel by the gunpowder gas was instantly ignited by the power buried in the inscription, dragging a continuously spreading phosphorescence and hitting Daly's chest.

Of course, Angel was not an undercover agent sent by Mrs. Sharon, and she hid until this moment just to shoot Daly with her own hands. As an auxiliary bullet, the "Phantom Phosphorus Eruption" has no direct lethality. The moment it hits the target, the stressed bullet will explode and turn into a "Phantom Phosphorescent Powder" that has no substance, covering a space of ten meters in radius, marking all objects and creatures that respond to spirituality - including invisible ones of course.

As for the lethality of the bullet itself, if it hits the bare skin, it may cause mild burns, but there is almost no damage through the clothes. Not only that, the invisible silk thread binding Daly seems to be very afraid of high temperature. Angel saw some transparent silk threads like spider silk appearing on Daly's chest, and they were quickly dissipating under the effect of "Phantom Phosphorus Eruption".

At the same time, with the hit location as the center, the entire reception room is instantly filled with sparkling phantom phosphorescent powder, ignoring gravity and the breeze blowing outside the window, quietly floating in every space.

In Angel's eyes, Daly in front of him and Leonard's body a little further away emitted a faint phosphorescence, like a human body under spiritual vision being covered with a white halo.And less than two meters away from Leonard, the same human-shaped halo was floating in the empty space.

Without needing Angel's reminder, Leonard's eyes locked on the halo beside him. All he can move now is his facial organs. Without the slightest hesitation, he opened his mouth, and a low, magnetic voice came:

"Farewell, free-spirited sea.

This is the last time you are in front of my eyes, rolling blue waves, and shining with a beautiful face..."

The ethereal and quiet singing is like a lullaby, echoing under the high ceiling of the reception room, the breeze blowing into the room from the window seems to have disappeared, and the magic phosphorescent powder in the room is moving away from Angel.

It was as if she had come to the lake in the forest, and she seemed to be lying on a bed made of velvet. The calm and serene atmosphere made her feel in a trance, and she could fall asleep at any time.

"can not sleep!"

Suddenly remembering that he was still fighting, Angel forcibly recalled the thoughts that almost flew out of his body, and even bit his own tongue in order to stay awake.

Severe pain struck, dispelling the intense drowsiness. The lake in front of her eyes and the velvet under her body disappeared, and she returned to the reception room of the Blackthorn Security Company where the magic phosphorescent powder was falling.

This should be similar to the ability of "Nightmare" to lure people into dreams, but it is weaker than Dunn's ability to directly enter dreams...

Angel refocused his gaze and looked at Leonard. He was still singing in a low voice. The halo he was facing—Mrs.

Then, I should... She tried to move her limbs, but unfortunately, the invisible silk thread was still pulling her body, but compared to the state of immobility just now, the thread that lost Madam Sharon's control had obviously loosened, and Angel felt that she could already move her limbs slightly.

She looked at Ms. Daly in front of her. The latter also felt that the range of motion of her limbs had increased. With the help of the crystal pendant on her wrist, she quickly entered a psychic state, and her emerald-like eyes became deep again.

"Use fire."

Angel reminded.

As an "assassin", she has no choice but to rely on the "psychic" Daly and the invisible "spirits" around her.

Daly nodded almost invisibly, and then wisps of light blue fireflies floated in the space around the two of them, dispelling the phantom phosphorescent powder nearby, which was the light emitted when the silk threads that bound them were ignited.

Only when these invisible threads come into contact with high temperature, do they quickly shrink and disappear like spider silk meeting fire, and the blue fireflies spread rapidly along the silk threads in the surrounding space, creating a dreamlike scene.

But Angel didn't care to appreciate it at all. At the moment when the silk thread was ignited, she felt the power that restrained her dissipate quickly. Before she had time to applaud Daly's performance, she raised her right hand holding the large-caliber revolver, and without waiting to aim, she shot a "storm gathering" towards the halo representing Mrs. Sharon with her sense of the gun.

The bullet fired in a hurry did not hit Madam Sharon's vitals, but only hit the target's waist, but what was heard was not the muffled sound of the bullet piercing through the flesh, but a crisp "click", and the halo marked by the phosphorescent powder shattered like a phantom in a mirror, disappearing into Angel's eyes, and the full-length mirror hung behind the gate for guests to use when arranging their clothes was also shattered.

Mirror stand-in!

The mirror marked by phosphorescence shattered to the ground, and Mrs. Sharon who was supposed to be here had disappeared without a trace. Angel raised his gun and looked around, but found no new target in the gradually dissipating magic phosphorescent powder.

Did you run away...

That's right, failing one strike and coming back another day is the life-saving secret of an assassin, but since Madam Sharon boldly invaded the stronghold of the "Nighthawks", would she really give up so easily?
Daly was standing still and continued to guide the blue flame towards Leonard, helping him get rid of the silk thread.Angel scanned every corner of the room, trying to find the hidden location of Mrs. Sharon.The magic phosphorescent mark cannot be removed even by teleportation. This is the common sense she learned in another world, but here, the unaccustomed mark is easily destroyed by the mirror double, and it becomes a one-time effect.

The sense of crisis in her heart gradually became stronger, and the intuition of the "assassin" made Angel no longer hesitate. She pointed the muzzle of the gun in her left hand to the ground, pulled the trigger, and fired another "Phantom Phosphorus Eruption".The flimsy bullet shattered on the floor, and dreamy phosphorescent powder once again filled the room.

Amidst the diffused light powder, a figure quickly approached. Angel bent slightly, ready to dodge with all his strength, but was surprised that the opponent's target was not himself, but the "psychic" Daly with his back to the figure!
