Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 195 Red Brick Alley

"The Zmang Party...were they the gangsters who captured Sonia?"

Although it sounded like the name of a gangster, Angel still asked just in case.

"They are not just gangsters. Although 'Zmange' means 'warrior' in the plateau language, and most of their members are Fusacs, they have long been controlled by Intis's intelligence agency and have become their spies. Intelligence, tools for doing dirty work. The reason for arresting Sonia this time is probably under the instruction of spies from the Republic of Intis, and it’s for the manuscript of the Difference Engine.”

As a former intelligence agent, Dominic was very familiar with these gangs in the East District and quickly told Angel the background of the Zimang Party as if reciting it.

"Then how did they find this place? They couldn't have relied on divination..." Angel continued to analyze, "This is indeed possible. Sonia, as a Sequence 9 fortune teller, can find clues to the manuscript. Inti Sri Lanka’s intelligence agency may not have higher-order Beyonders, and then they followed the clues and found you.”

"They may not know that the manuscript was sold to Mr. A, or they may already know it, but they think you have hidden a copy, so they kidnapped Sonia and tried to get information."

"Damn it, where did we get the copy? I can't even understand that thing..." Dominic cursed angrily. Worried about the poor sound insulation and being heard by the neighbors, he lowered his voice and continued, "We must quickly remove the Sony If they determine that she doesn’t know the whereabouts of the manuscript, they will probably kill her and silence her.”

Not only can he kill people, but if there are extraordinary people, he might even try to channel spirits... After all, dead people can't lie.

Angel thought to himself, but did not tell Dominic about this possibility.

Of course, in the divination just now, Sonia was only detained and was still sleeping. For some unknown reason, the Zmang Party had not interrogated her yet. This might be the last chance.

Putting on the cloak to hide his face, Angel watched Dominic pick up the pistol, dagger and dagger on the table and hide them in various places under the cloak. Then the two of them left the apartment building, with the latter leading the way to the divination center. red brick lane.

……

In a windowless room, two sturdy men in trench coats were surrounding a boy who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. They were holding sticks in their hands and waving them around him from time to time.

Every time the stick passed by him, he would tremble all over, as if the threat of missing him also caused him unbearable pain.

"Boy, I have no patience anymore. You know our methods, if we really use them on you, you will have to spend the rest of your life lying in bed, if you still have the rest of your life."

A man ran out of patience and threw the wooden stick in his hand to the ground. The sound made the boy tremble again, but his hands were tied and hung from the ceiling. His feet could barely touch the ground and he stood on tiptoes for support. With the weight of his body, he couldn't do anything except beg for mercy and tremble.

"...I, I really told you, didn't you find Gao Li? Didn't he tell you?"

The two men looked at each other. The man who threw down the stick came to the corner of the room, opened a tin box, and rummaged for something inside. The sound of metal colliding from time to time made the young man's face become more desperate.

"Do you think that because you are the only one who knows the clues, we don't dare to do anything to you, huh? Let me tell you, there are people in the next room who also know where the manuscript is. I will go find it after our executioner cuts you into pieces. She asks and lets her go home. But you can only rot in the sewers, just like your boss."

The other man kept uttering threatening words, held both sides of the boy's head with both hands, and pressed hard, making the latter show a look of pain.

"I've said it all, I've said it all! Didn't Gao Li steal the manuscript? It was snatched away by others again, ah--stop pinching me, how do I know who it is? You can kill me too It’s useless!”

The young man spoke incoherently, his eyes kept shedding tears whether due to pain or panic, but it did not move the gloomy man in front of him at all.

"First cut off his fingers, three of them, and then I'll ask again."

He said to another man busy in the corner.

"Okay, here we come."

The man who was rummaging for tools answered casually, groped carefully in the box, took out two rusty scissors, and tried them with a click before turning back.

"I'm really sorry, the scissors are a bit rusty, it might hurt..."

Halfway through his words, he was stunned and looked towards the center of the room.

The man who was talking to him just now has fallen to the ground, his life or death unknown.Except for the boy who was still hanging from the ceiling, there was no one else in the room.

"What's going on? What did you do!"

Looking at the only young man in the room who might take action, the man looked panicked, waving the scissors in his hand and roaring with anger.

The next second, there was severe pain in the back of his neck. His vision went dark and he fell to the ground. The two scissors slid far away on the ground.

……

After easily dealing with the two strong men, Angel released his invisibility and looked at the stunned boy.

"I can put you down, but I hope you don't yell or do anything irrational, otherwise you will end up like them."

Angel warned. Seeing the boy nodding hurriedly, he took out his dagger and cut off the rope that tied him to the ceiling.

"boom--"

The boy's legs softened and he knelt on the ground. Then he struggled to get up, reached for the scissors on the side, cut the ropes around his wrists and ankles, and regained his freedom.

He is very mobile and his hands are very flexible... Even though he panics, he remains rational, which is better than most adults.

Angel assessed the boy's movements.

"Thank you, madam, are you from MI[-]? I have only seen this kind of magical ability from them."

Is he referring to my invisibility?However, Dominic said that this "MI[-]" is an organization that resists the infiltration of foreign extraordinary people, and there must be many extraordinary people in its own body...

"No, I'm not." After hesitating for a moment, she still did not pretend to be an official. "I just have some personal grudges with the Zmange Party. Have you seen a woman who was captured by them? About 17 years old, with long brown hair. , almost as tall as you."

"They just mentioned that there's a woman next door waiting to be interrogated, but I don't know if it's the one you're talking about."

Rubbing his wrists which were somewhat red and swollen after being bound, the boy pointed to the wall on one side.

"By the way, my name is Ian, may I ask you..."

"Ian, you wait here, or find a way to escape on your own."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Angel turned around and left the interrogation room. Outside the door was a long corridor with dim lights and no one.

"Dominic has already made noise at the front door. We need to find Sonia quickly and get out of here..."

Listening carefully to the faint gunshots and shouts coming from downstairs, Angel looked in the direction that Ian pointed just now, where there was a closed iron door.

"Crack-"

I pressed the doorknob and it was indeed locked.

If you use a lock picking tool, it will take about 2 minutes, but this way...

Angel kicked the door lock, and the fragile lock fell apart with a "bang" sound. Big and small parts were scattered on the floor. The entire iron door opened inward, rotated 180 degrees and hit the other side. on the wall.

In her dark vision, a girl with disheveled hair was lying on the ground in a dark room, biting the rope binding her hands with her teeth. She was frightened by the sound of opening the door, and she shrank her head like a frightened quail. Curled up into a ball, looking this way.
