Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 207 Divination at the Risk of Death
The "Magic Pocket Watch" is afraid of flames for up to 12 hours, and the streets at night are full of terrifying flames. Angel can only leave the East District through the sewer connecting the entire Backlund and go to the Backlund Bridge area that she is more familiar with. .

Besides, even without the negative status, dragging a burnt corpse walking down the street, even in the chaotic East End, would be too eye-catching.

It took more than an hour to arrive at the sewer area where mutant rats and crocodiles had been cleaned. Angel found the right direction and brought the body of Bishop Rose to the exit near the Tasok River, where the crimson moonlight could vaguely shine through.

There are several platforms here that are slightly higher than the sewage ditch. Although it is not clean, it can at least be away from the cross-flowing sewage.

Throwing Bishop Rose aside, Angel stood aside for a short rest and regained some of his spirituality. Then he used the Holy Night Powder he carried with him to mark out an area around the body and himself, building a spiritual wall with an insulating effect to separate the sewer. The stench and the sound of the Tasok River were blocked outside the wall.

Before conducting dangerous divination, she should have waited for Bishop Rose's extraordinary characteristics to be released, so that even if the divination involved the true Creator like last time and was tainted by His divinity and aura, at least part of the harvest could be retained.

But rather than being contaminated by the Extraordinary characteristics, she was more afraid of waiting too long and letting the soul of the deceased disappear, making it impossible to divine the location of Lanerwus.

Taking a deep breath, rubbing the "Secret Holy Emblem" on his right wrist, Angel recited the honorable name of the goddess.

"The Goddess of the Night, higher than the stars and older than eternity.

"You are Lord Crimson, Mother of Secrets, Queen of Calamity and Fear.

"Lord of Sleep and Silence..."

This is a quick ceremony that does not require an altar or candles. If he did not possess the secret holy symbol, no matter how pious Angel was, he might not be able to get a response from the goddess.

"I beg you...

"I pray that you will bless me...

"Provide blessing for my divination..."

Whether it was an illusion or not, she felt the temperature of the Holy Emblem between her fingers drop a little.

Then, a swirling breeze blew in the spiritual wall, and a peaceful atmosphere spread around Angel.

She didn't waste any time and immediately took out the magic mirror and approached the strong Bishop Rose, whose skin had turned black.

"Mirror Mirror tells me the reason for the Dharavi Street explosion."

She did not try to point the divination target directly at the identity of Bishop Rose, or even the whereabouts of Lanerwus, because it was likely to involve a deeper power, and her current clue was only Bishop Rose himself.

"Gather enough information and try divination again."

Cutting off the overflowing memories, Angel turned his gaze to the foggy magic mirror, which quickly displayed a dynamic picture.

"Williams, help me find someone. His name is Lanrewus. He is a fraudster and has been on the national wanted list."

A short woman with messy blond hair handed a portrait to another young man with a slender face. When the latter took it, Angel also saw the portrait in his hand clearly.

With round glasses, neatly combed hair, and an ordinary face with a mocking expression, this is the scammer from Tingen City, the man who planned the evil god's coming conspiracy!

"Xiu, it's very difficult to find someone in the East District. I have to mobilize many friends to work together to have a chance... You have to pay more."

The young man put away the portrait and said with a smile.

stop?Hugh Dilcha?That "bounty hunter"?
Angel remembered the words of the dead Bishop Rose after seeing him.

Soon, the picture on the magic mirror changed. A young man named Williams took the portrait around and asked different people, but he got nothing.

When he returned home, a tall, hooded man threatened him and told him why he was looking for Lanrewus, then tapped him on the shoulder and left the room.

Just as Williams breathed a sigh of relief, he was torn apart by the snap of male fingers, spreading his flesh and blood all over the room.

Then came the gas explosion that destroyed the entire residence…

The surface of the magic mirror has been restored to its original state, but Angel's mood cannot be calm for a long time.

She had recalled the identity of the short woman who had appeared at Mr. A's rally, and even tried to entrust her to find someone.

This bounty hunter seems to have a wide range of business. He is not only tracking down the mysterious woman from Tingen City, but also trying to find traces of Lanerwus.

Are you specializing in the business of finding people, coveting the other party's bounty, or do you have other motives?
Williams, who worked for her, must have been discovered by Bishop Rose while he was looking for Lanrewus. The latter followed him back home. After asking about the situation, he used a gas explosion to kill and silence him.

If he hadn't happened to be downstairs and been mistaken for the bounty hunter who issued the commission, I'm afraid the Rose Bishop would have left the East District and his whereabouts are unknown.

This is in line with the style of the "Aurora Society"... Could it be that Lanerwus is currently under the protection of the "Aurora Society"?After this man planned the arrival of the Evil God's children, he escaped from Tingen and even left clues to the Nighthawks. Logically speaking, the Aurora Society should hate him.

After thinking for a moment, looking at the inhuman Bishop Rose, Angel touched the magic mirror again and asked the next question.

"Mirror, Mirror, tell me," she paused, but still did not point the divination directly at Lanerwus, "where this Rose Bishop is hiding."

If he is really protecting or monitoring Lanrevus, then finding his residence is equivalent to finding Lanrevus!
Smoke and pure black flashed alternately in the magic mirror, and ships passing by on the Tasok River appeared.

The river turned a 180-degree bend and surrounded a busy dock.

This is Backlund's dock area!The picture continued to zoom in, revealing a towering clock tower, a large dock, and several small buildings next to it that looked like children.

Angel saw a signboard that said "Dockworkers Association", but the picture in the magic mirror turned to the dormitory building on the other side.

Bishop Rose, who is nearly two meters tall and has light yellow curly hair, is talking to someone. The angle of view gradually increases, reflecting the latter's bronze skin.

Bronze skin, is it him again?

Without hesitation, Angel waved his hand to cut through the spiritual wall around him, grabbed the magic mirror, and was about to throw it away.

But her remaining sanity prevented her body from acting subconsciously.

Holding the magic mirror with one hand, Angel felt the increasingly dense evil atmosphere in it, endured the crazy whispers that gradually approached his ears, and endured the severe pain that deepened from his fingers to his arms. Angel gritted his teeth and stared at the mirror, ignoring the stinging pain in his eyes. , waiting for the final divination screen.

The angle of view continued to rise, and the angular chin and cheeks appeared, as did the forehead with gold-rimmed glasses. There was a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was talking to Bishop Rose.

"boom--"

The mirror cracked and fragments flew everywhere. Each fragment seemed to have a trace of thick blood attached to it, and more of the "True Creator" aura that Angel was already familiar with came out of the mirror.

She immediately threw the magic mirror out like a Frisbee, and ignited the black flame at the same time, burning towards the hand holding the magic mirror - the exposed skin was already stained with a trace of copper-like color, which corroded the skin and appeared There are bursts of green smoke.

With a "pop" sound, the magic mirror with only its frame fell into the sewer where sewage flowed, and the evil aura disappeared without a trace.

Angel was stunned. She looked at her hand that was covered with strange rust stains just a second ago. Although the veins were bulging, the skin was cracked, and blood was flowing out, the pollution of the "True Creator" had faded away, as if it had never appeared. More than average.

Fortunately, it was just a traumatic injury. He should be able to recover quickly if he goes home and uses the healing potions provided by "Medicine Master" Darkwill later.

Bending his elbow to reduce the blood flow to the injured area, Angel looked silently at the motionless magic mirror in the distance. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and draw a crimson moon on his chest with his still intact hand, sincerely thanking the goddess. 's blessing.

Afterwards, she picked up the broken magic mirror that no longer exuded the evil aura, returned to "Bishop Rose", and waited for the extraordinary characteristics to be released.

"That sarcastic smile is undoubtedly that of Lanerwus, although I don't know where he tanned his skin and changed his appearance..."

She thought of the bronze-skinned hands she had seen when she was divining the origin of mutated animals.

"He also created mutated animals through blood? But this can easily attract the attention of official extraordinary people. Why would he do such a stupid thing? For an evil sacrifice, or to relieve the desire to kill?"

Thinking about it, Angel turned his gaze to "Bishop Rose" on the ground.

"This 'Bishop of the Rose' lives in the dock area with Lanerwus... That clock tower is very similar to the landmark building of the East Balan dock. They just hide in the dock workers' dormitory? Instead of covering up their whereabouts, they deliberately create Incident, 'Bishop Rose' also chooses the most destructive method when fighting..."

A thought came to her mind that even she couldn't believe:

"They, or Lanerwus, are deliberately attracting attention from the outside world?"

"Could it be that this fraudster, just like in Tingen, left a provocative letter with the words 'bombs that keep getting stronger' to attract the attention of the Nighthawks, but he actually has other intentions secretly?"

If he causes the evil god to descend again and detonates a "bomb" in a densely populated dock area, the consequences will be disastrous.

"No matter what, I will report it early tomorrow morning after the negative status disappears."

Lanerwus might find out at any time that the "Rose Bishop" who was out was missing, and might move to other areas at any time, or even leave Backlund. Angel himself did not have the confidence to deal with him who had the aura of the "True Creator" in him, but the official Extraordinary could, on night watch You can!

After making up his mind, Angel looked back at the body of "Bishop Rose" on the ground. Under his spiritual vision, wisps of white light gradually focused on his right eye, indicating that the extraordinary characteristics were about to be released.

But when she turned on her spiritual vision, she immediately felt severe pain in her eyes, and a low whisper came from her ears, just like she had come into contact with the breath of the real Creator during the divination, but there was no such evil atmosphere.

Are the extraordinary characteristics contaminated by the divinity of the Creator?

No, it was a little different from the divination just now. It should be that this "Rose Bishop" was on the verge of madness and out of control before his death.Maybe it was because of my "craziness," maybe it was because of the injuries he sustained in the fight, or maybe he was mentally and spiritually unstable before the fight, a possibility considering his practice of blowing up gas pipes throughout the apartment building Quite big...

As the characteristics were concentrated in the right eye of the deceased, the eyeball became red, swollen, and fell off from the eye socket. Angel found that after the characteristics were separated, Bishop Rose's tall body seemed to have shrunk one size, and the burnt skin became Drier, as if dehydrated.

Picking up the red eyeball that had fallen to the side, Angel immediately sensed countless individuals around him, including pedestrians on the street above him, rats crawling around the sewer, and even corpses under his feet.

This is not the information that appears in the line of sight, but like the "flame jump" induction of the surrounding flames. It is a spiritual reminder and a comprehensive perception.

"This eyeball allows me to sense moving objects around me?" She put down her eyeball in confusion, and the sense just now disappeared instantly. "No, pedestrians on the street above my head can sense it, as can the horses and passengers pulling the cart. But the carriage itself cannot sense it..."

After several experiments, she determined that this red eyeball could allow her to sense "flesh" in a radius of about 50 meters around her. Whether it was as small as a mouse or as large as a horse, or even a dead body, they were all within the sensing range.

"Is this the characteristic effect of 'Rose Bishop'?"

She picked up the eyeball again, preparing to test it a few more times, but she felt a sharp pain in her head and the things in front of her became blurry.

The spiritual consumption is too great... It's better to go home and rest as soon as possible.

After carefully loading the eyeball with the bullet box he carried, Angel looked at the corpse of Bishop Rose at his feet and felt troubled.
