Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 198 Ms. Joy
"Miss Witch?"

When Angel heard this title, her heartbeat almost stopped. She pressed her magic pocket watch with one hand and stabbed the opponent with her eyes like sharp knives. She was about to activate the "Ring of Madness" ability to disrupt the opponent's mind and create a chance for her to escape.

"Don't be afraid, I have no malicious intentions."

Ms. Laura's smile was filled with kindness and her words were filled with true feelings, which almost made Angel stop thinking about confrontation.

Is this an extraordinary ability?Is it "charm" or "persuasion"?
She instantly thought of the various abilities of fellow assassins, but it was obvious that this woman was not just using simple language to interfere.

Has she already reached Sequence 6?
While thinking, Angel's finger has been attached to the crown of the magic pocket watch. With just a slight press, he can obtain the three extraordinary abilities of the "Magician", and his own spirituality has also poured into the "Ring of Madness". "Frenzy" can be cast at any time.

After doing this, she had time to see what the other party's purpose was.

"I am not from the Witch Sect, nor am I an official Beyonder, but just like you, I do not belong to any organization."

Seeing that Angel made no further move, Ms. Laura covered her mouth and smiled softly, her lake-blue eyes showing a hint of charm.

"To show my sincerity, let me introduce myself first. I am Laura Swan. You can also call me 'Ms. Joy'."

Joy... Sure enough, Laura is already a Sequence 6 Beyonder, and she is the "Happiness Witch" of the "Assassin" path...

Attracted by Laura's obviously deliberate but not artificial demeanor, Angel almost felt the instinct of a man welling up in his heart. He tried his best to suppress his inner impulse, and asked with a straight face:

"How did you recognize that I am an extraordinary person?"

She did not relax her vigilance because the other party claimed not to belong to the "Witch Cult". How could any cult member take the initiative to say that he belonged to a cult?
Of course, except for those lunatics from the Aurora Society...

"It's very simple. From your divination methods, some of your little habits, and even the name you gave yourself in the divination club, heh, 'divination witch'..."

Laura chuckled again, which made Angel tremble with fear. He almost wanted to take off the frenzy ring to prevent himself from losing his mind.

"And I performed a divination on you, and it failed as expected. This makes me even more convinced that you are an extraordinary person, at least a mid-level person."

I see, because I was counter-divined, and the instigator did not have the ability to counter-divide, so I was confirmed to be at least Sequence 7...

"But why can't it be Sequence 6, or even higher?"

"You will understand when you actually reach Sequence 6 and become 'Happiness'." Laura replied vaguely, then turned her eyes with a searching look in her eyes, "What I am curious about is why the demon in Sequence 7 The medicine does not significantly change your appearance. Even if you were originally a female, you will become more beautiful after becoming a 'witch', instead of making people forget about you... I would like to ask, before you became a 'witch', were you a male or a female? "

You will understand when you become Sequence 6... Could it be that the "Happiness Witch" can cause a huge change in people comparable to a man turning into a woman?

But fortunately, even with the strength of this Sequence 6 Lady of Joy, she is unable to see through the psychological implications of the "Ring of Madness", and the divination will be interfered with by the secret holy symbol. I am afraid that only a high-Sequence Extraordinary can decipher such a combination. …

Being stared at by Laura's curious eyes, Angel even had the idea that it was a sin to neglect her. He quickly stopped the analysis in his mind and replied with the rhetoric he had prepared to sneak into the "Witch Cult":
"Before I became a Beyonder, I was indeed a male. Rather, I am a little curious, how many women would really choose to become an 'assassin'?"

This is what she has always doubted. Cole Granger and Tris are both male assassins. Although Mrs. Sharon has not mentioned her past in her memory, she has occasionally revealed some thoughts and actions. , also indicates that she is likely to undergo a transformation in the "witch" stage.

Could it be said that the "Witch Cult" has some kind of vicious preference when selecting candidates to become assassins?
She looked at Laura searchingly.

Could it be that this lady was once...

"Maybe there are more female assassins than you think."

As if aware of Angel's thoughts, the "Mrs. Joy" answered with a charming smile on her lips.

Does this answer my question... No, she may also be from the "Witch Cult" and she took the initiative to reveal her identity just to test me. Then everything she said may be a fabricated lie!

Almost lost in Laura's smile, Angel shuddered and woke up.This is much scarier than the Mrs. Sharon in my memory. She can make people believe it with just a word and a smile, and people can't bear to deceive her... That's not right. That guy Cole was deceived into Mrs. Sharon's bed. I can’t say who is more powerful...

With his mind in chaos, Angel subconsciously said:
"You said you are not from the Witch Sect, but as far as I know, almost all potions in this way are mastered by them."

"That's true. Low-sequence potions are fine. Once you reach the mid-sequence, if you want to get a chance to be promoted, you must contact them."

Laura stopped her smile, her face became serious, she nodded and said.

"I used to be a member of the Witch Sect. I was assigned tasks and promoted by my 'mentor', and then I became a similar role... For some reason, they prefer Extraordinaries promoted by male assassins, maybe because In this way, I am always asked to do tasks that are not very important but require dedication.”

"This caused a conflict between my behavior and my heart, almost made me lose control, and also made me think about leaving."

Are behavioral and inner conflicts at risk of getting out of control?And dedication, it won’t be what I thought...

Angel raised his eyebrows and continued to listen.

"In short, I left them, came to Backlund, hid my identity, and lived a new life. As long as I don't seek promotion, everything is so simple and easy."

Angel actually didn't really believe in this lady who sometimes had a serious face and sometimes smiled. After all, judging from the last contact, Laura was quite talented in acting, and everything she showed might be a disguise to confuse others.

But if she was sent by the "Witch Cult" to test him, it would seem too casual.

"I once had a mentor. She made me become an Extraordinary and helped me advance." She once again brought out her preparations for dealing with the Witch Sect and said tentatively, "It's a pity that she has died at the hands of the official Extraordinary." , I came to Backlund to find the Witch Sect and see if I could join them."

"Join the Witch Cult? You don't think that after becoming a 'witch', they will let you do some work of assassinating unimportant people or instigating relations between gangs, right?"

Laura was quite disdainful of Angel's idea.

"Of course, they lack manpower in big cities, so they should accept you quickly, and then let you become their pawn, get close to some big shots, and control them. However," her eyes swept over Angel's face, "You can't even do this..." Things may not go well.”

From her tone, it was not difficult for Angel to guess the means she would use to "control some big shots."

"Of course, if you are stubborn, it is not difficult to find them. As long as you let them know that you have the formula for the 'Assassin' path, especially the mid-level ones, someone will come to you soon. Strictly control the potion formula. , it is one of the few good things the Witch Sect has done."

Indeed, on the day Mr. A revealed the formula for the potion at the gathering, someone came to his door...

Angel thought of the man who followed him that night, and became more and more certain that Mr. A's gathering was being watched by people from the "Witch Cult". Maybe he would be able to catch up with them next time he appeared there.

"Sorry for delaying your business. It's time for me to leave. I have to go to Queens later to attend a viscount's salon." This happy lady with a desire to talk took out a delicate pocket watch, looked at it, and picked it up. The hat on the table covered his face, and he stood up from the chair, "If you hadn't returned to the Witch Cult, maybe we would meet again."

Seeing that Laura was about to open the door and leave, Angel couldn't help but ask the question she had always wanted to ask:

"How can you be sure that I am not a member of the Witch Sect? Well, am I seeking promotion here?"

Due to the oath he had sworn, Angel couldn't say anything that pointed to "acting" to people who didn't understand the law of acting, so he could only use a code name in a subtle way.

"You mean 'acting'?"

Laura turned around and smiled.

"I have never seen a 'witch' from a witch sect. She plays the role slowly in the divination club. As long as she causes a disaster that affects many people, the magic potion can digest most of it. It's not like you."

It was like looking at a child who was ignorant of the world. Her lake-blue eyes under the black gauze revealed a look of ridicule or envy, and then she turned and left the divination room.
