Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 175 Thief and Divination

The thief was not slow. As soon as Angel reached the first floor and was hidden in the shadows beside the stairs, the door was quietly opened.

A short figure squeezed in through the crack of the door, and then closed the door gently with his backhand. At this time, the living room was dark. Only a crimson moonlight shone through the oriel window facing the street. After being blocked by the curtains, it could only illuminate A very small area next to the window.

But under Angel's dark vision, the thief who didn't even look like an adult nimbly walked through the dark living room, came to the study, pushed open the half-open study door, and slipped in.

Angel did not alert him, but waited patiently in the darkness of the living room.

Although this thief is young, he is skillful and has a clear purpose. He is definitely not trying to steal property, but has a more important purpose.

She didn't think that she, who had just arrived in Backlund two days ago and had no contact with anyone except the landlord and the maid, would get into trouble with such a person, so there was only one possibility:

The other party came here for something that belonged to the previous tenant.

After Angel rented the house, he had already inspected the room in detail and even used his spiritual vision. He did not find any secret doors or hidden storage compartments, but judging from what happened tonight, there were obviously some oversights in the inspection.

She decided to ask the Mr. Thief to do a little favor.

About 5 minutes later, the study door opened again, and the short thief quietly slipped out with a document bag under his arm. His purpose was obviously this document. After getting it, he walked directly to the door without any hesitation. .

"Dark night."

The Hermetic word that Angel read made the thief freeze. The next second, he kicked his legs and was about to rush out of the door.

But the "Sleep Charm" thrown at his feet had been activated, igniting dark red flames and making a slight explosion, like an inflated paper bag being crushed.

"boom--"

The running thief fell forward as if he had been tripped, grabbed the ground with his head, and lay motionless on the ground.

Angel, who was a little further away, also felt a little dizzy, but this was a spell she threw out on her own initiative, so she had some preparations, and since she was a Sequence 7 Beyonder, the power of this slumber was not very effective on her.

Seeing that the spell was taking effect, she did not check the sleeping thief immediately. Instead, she came to the window facing the street, opened a corner of the curtain and looked out.

This thief with a clear purpose may have others supporting him.

After observing for a few minutes, no one walked through the Red Rose Street illuminated by the crimson moonlight, and there was no other movement on the banks of the Tasok River a little further away. Angel then felt relieved and returned to the thief.

This was a boy with short gray hair, who probably didn't look full. He was wearing an old jacket, faded trousers, and was holding a document bag tightly in his hand.

After a brief search, Angel found nothing else except a few pennies, a set of lockpicking tools and a notched dagger. It seemed that the thief's purpose was simple, this document.

Sitting on the sofa, she opened the kraft paper bag without any writing on it and took out a thick stack of documents inside.

After flipping through a few pages, Angel felt like his brain was turning into a ball of mush.

There were all kinds of complicated formulas and professional vocabulary on them. Although they were all written in Rune language, and she knew most of them, she couldn't understand what they meant when put together.

Even though some documents were accompanied by hand-drawn sketches, Angel could only barely tell that it was a machine with complex shapes and numerous functions.

If Melissa were here, she might be able to figure out what this is, she's really interested in these machines...

With a secret sigh, Angel stuffed the documents back into his bag and put them on the coffee table aside. He took out the magic mirror that still had body temperature, walked over to the sleeping thief, and knelt down beside him.

Since you can’t understand the document, just ask someone who can…

"Mirror, Mirror, tell me why the person in front of me is here."

Touching the smooth mirror surface, Angel silently recited the divination words three times, but he still couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity in his heart.

Compared with mysterious dream divination and handsome pendulum divination, magic mirror divination is just like a game described in fairy tales.But high-end divination often only requires simple methods. After she finished reciting the divination words, she called on her spirituality and lightly touched the mirror. The originally hard mirror surface seemed to have softened, with water ripples rippling, and then it became hazy, and a cloud of water gushed out. fog.

The fog dispersed, and a picture was displayed on the magic mirror. A tall man was talking to the thief. Angel could even hear the conversation clearly in his ears.

"Quick has already done everything. The manuscript is in the house he rented before, in the secret compartment behind the bookshelf in the study. You will steal it out tonight. Remember, Gao Li, don't make matters worse, otherwise I will Break your legs."

The burly man ordered with a serious face. There was an old scar on his right eye, forming a cross with the eye slit, and his short, light black hair stood on end.

"Okay, boss."

The gray-haired boy named Gauri nodded and answered briefly.

The screen faded and the dressing mirror returned to normal.

Angel looked at the document bag on the coffee table. It seemed that this document was what the "boss" asked the thief Gao Li to steal. And the person who hid the document in his study room was, as he had guessed, the previous tenant. A Feysac named Quaik.

In order to ensure that the information was accurate, Angel took the document and used the magic mirror to do another divination.

"Mirror Mirror tells me the origin of this document."

The document bag in the mirror changed hands between several unknown men and women, and was finally placed in a hidden compartment behind the bookshelf by a middle-aged man dressed casually.

"The divination results are very vague. Is it because there is not enough information..."

Angel thought of what Klein often said when he was doing divination, "getting enough information".

But the person who put the documents into the secret compartment in the end should be the Fusac man. He has now fallen into the hands of the "boss", and his life or death is unknown.

But this actually has nothing to do with Angel. If the thief named Gao Li hadn't made a lot of noise when he broke in, and Angel was an extraordinary person with far more vigilance than ordinary people, I'm afraid he would have succeeded by now and quietly stayed away. go……

At this time, Angel intercepted him and instead got himself involved in the inexplicable battle for documents.

Looking at the motionless thief Gao Li lying on the ground, Angel had a plan in mind.

……

"Well……"

Gao Li covered his forehead, which was swollen after hitting the ground, and slowly got up.

His eyes turned clear and his body trembled. Only then did he remember that he was still in the house that Quick had rented, and was still on a mission to steal the manuscript.

Where is the manuscript?
His hands quickly groped in the darkness, touched the document bag beside him, immediately brought it to his side, and grabbed it.

"Fortunately, the things are still there... What happened to me just now? I seemed to hear a strange whisper and then fell asleep?"

Gao Li squeezed the thickness of the document bag and found that it was the same as when he found it. He was relieved, but the doubts in his heart lingered.

He raised his head and looked around the living room. Under the moonlight that faintly entered the room through the curtains, there was nothing weird about this house.

The intelligence said that the new tenant is a young woman, who should be fast asleep at this time. Her task is just to get the manuscript back, so she doesn't need to worry about her...

Then how did you faint just now?Did he accidentally trip and hit his forehead on the floor, knocking himself out?

Subconsciously denying this absurd possibility, Gao Li shook his head, clamped the document bag under his arm, quietly opened the door, walked onto the street, and quickly left Red Rose Street.
