Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 230 Bernadette
The one favored by the night?Does she mean the goddess of the night?
"Beloved" in the occult sense means more than just the word itself. It means that the gods have set their sights on this person and have special attention to him. Any malicious intention towards the favored by the gods needs to be cautious, because it may Received divine punishment from the gods.

For example, the Pope of the Church of Night is the Beloved of the Night.

The other favored one, Angel had seen before, was Arianna who handed the "Secret Holy Emblem" to her.

Could it be that this lady saw the Holy Emblem and mistook me?

As her thoughts turned, she finally shook her head and denied what the other party said: "No, I am just an ordinary believer. This 'Secret Holy Emblem' was given by others."

"Maybe so," the lady with long chestnut hair did not continue to ask, but changed the subject, "Then why did you hide your identity and come to Russell's commemorative exhibition?"

She emphasized her tone, and her emotionless tone seemed to be mixed with some emotion: "I see you stopped in front of his diary."

"Can you understand those words?"

Following her question, Angel seemed to hear several babies' cries. They seemed to come from outside the museum, illusory, but they attracted her attention.

The surrounding temperature was dropping, and the gaze of the avant-garde lady was like substance, pressing on her body, making her breathless.

Diary, she also knew that Emperor Russell's notes were actually diaries?This is a secret I only learned at Mr. Fool’s Tarot meeting, and the diary written in Chinese by Russell the Traveler, no one in this world should be able to understand...

Under heavy pressure, Angel only lasted a few seconds before giving up resistance, closed his eyes and replied:

"No, I can't understand them, but there is someone who can. He is collecting these 'diaries'."

The pressure caused by the emotionless eyes and the mysterious baby's cry disappeared instantly. She took a breath, raised her waist that she had bent down at some point, and looked at the chestnut-haired woman who was close to her height. He stared blankly at Russell's diary in the display cabinet, as if the terrifying sight just now was just Angel's hallucination.

"Who is he? Did he instruct you to come here to collect diaries this time?"

After a long time, the woman spoke again.

"The Fool, he calls himself the Fool. I'm not here to collect the emperor's diary. I'm just accompanying my friends to see the exhibition of Emperor Russell. They are all ordinary occult enthusiasts."

She is now extremely certain that this lady with a beautiful face and weird clothes is a high-sequence Beyonder, and may even be the official Beyonder arranged by the Church of Steam and Mechanism to "fish" here, so she doesn't dare to do anything at all. hide.

"Fool..." the woman murmured and repeated, "Very good, I understand."

She looked at the brass key in Angel's hand again.

"This key contains a dangerous curse. Try not to use it."

Having said that, the lady no longer looked at her, but turned back and continued to walk slowly among Russell's exhibits, like an ordinary tourist looking at the things that interested her one by one.

And a familiar voice began to ring in Angel's ears, which was Audrey's exclamation and the barking of a large golden retriever dog.

Am I back in a normal museum?
She knew in her heart that this mysterious lady was about to "leave".

"Who exactly are you? Why are you looking for someone who can interpret the diary?"

Looking at the chestnut-haired woman who was gradually disappearing, she finally couldn't hide her curiosity and asked in a low voice.

The movements of the nobles and security personnel became clearer, and the woman in front of them was about to disappear.

"Bernadette."

Just when Angel thought that the other party would not answer, a gentle voice with only a hint of emotion came to his ear.

...After the commotion caused by Audrey's golden retriever dog ended, Angel accompanied several nobles to visit the remaining exhibition areas, left the museum with the security personnel saying goodbye with relief, and returned to the streets as night fell.

The psychological pressure caused by the high-sequence Extraordinary who called himself "Bernadette" still persisted on Angel, so much so that she always showed a lack of interest in the second half of the tour, even after receiving the "pharmacist" from Viscount Gray Lint. The formula payment could not make her recover.

Of course, after quietly opening the envelope on the carriage ride back and discovering that there was a full 400 pounds inside, the joy of the extra gain diluted that worry.Not to mention that Glalint also invited Angel to attend this small occult party from time to time, so that she could get rid of the cost of buying new clothes from attending the salon, which basically saved her not-so-rich wallet.

He came to the East District by hiring a carriage and subway. After getting lost several times, Angel finally came to his safe house.

She was worried about being followed by the mysterious Bernadette, so she didn't even dare to go back to Red Rose Street directly. Instead, she decided to sleep in a safe house for one night.

Looking at the brass key that had caused him to lose his way many times and was even evaluated as a "dangerous curse" by high-sequence extraordinary people, Angel once again doubted his choice.

Could it be that Father Utravsky had some bad intentions in taking this key as a reward?But the pious look of the other party does not seem to be fake, as does the desperation to completely cut off from his past self. That means that even he himself is not aware of the hidden dangers of the "Master Key"?

Playing with the brass key in his hand that was no different from an ordinary key, Angel thought back to his meeting with "Bernadette" in the museum tonight.

The other party's methods and the powerful oppression were obviously a high-sequence Beyonder. Considering that Emperor Russell was once a believer in the God of Steam and Machinery, and the exhibition was also organized by the church, the lady was probably a mechanical members of the heart.

And her name is Bernadette, the same name as Russell's eldest daughter, could it be...

Angel thought that high-sequence strong people would have longer lifespans than ordinary people, and he had some doubts that "Bernadette" with long chestnut hair and avant-garde clothes was exactly the eldest daughter of Russell, Bernadette... Gustav.

But why did she isolate me to an unknown space for questioning at her father's memorial exhibition, and then let me go without saying a few words?
Just to ask about the diary, or maybe you saw the secret holy symbol in my hand and thought I was the favored one of the goddess and just wanted to say hello to me?

And according to the time when Russell's children were born, she should be... close to 200 years old?
His scalp felt numb, and Angel didn't dare to think any more.

Angel originally planned to use the magic mirror to try to divine the true identity of "Bernadette", but the more she analyzed it, the less she dared to divine. The other party was a strong person of high sequence. It was difficult for her to divine anything useful with a sequence 7. Information is easily discovered by the other party.

Ms. Laura, the "Witch of Joy" in Sequence 6, just because she offended a certain strong man, now she doesn't even dare to use the magic mirror for divination, so she better not take the risk...

But there was another matter besides the chestnut-haired lady that required divination.

Placing the "Master Key" under the magic mirror, Angel gently stroked the mirror and silently recited the divination content:

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

The magic mirror rippled like water, with a flash of scarlet inside, a flash of darkness, and finally the sight of a house.

A young man in a black robe stood in front of a long table filled with iron pots, glass jars, notes and other things. He held a bottle of potion in his hand and murmured solemnly:

"Ancestors, I am about to embark on the extraordinary road, and I will restore the glory of the Abraham family!"

He raised his head and raised his hand, and drank the bottle of potion. The muscles on his face were twisted, showing an expression of pain.

But then, he lost his normal behavior after taking the potion, screamed and fell to the ground, kept struggling, scratching his chest, and finally strangled his neck.

With a loud "bang", the man whose flesh was almost scratched and turned into a monster covered in blood exploded, spreading blood and flesh all over the room. Each piece of separated flesh and blood seemed to have its own thoughts. , constantly climbing outwards, leaving traces of corrosion.

But the room had no windows and the door was closed. In the end, these flesh and blood could not leave, but fell into silence.

Looking at this extremely bloody scene, Angel felt familiar. It was similar to the scene when she first woke up in this world. It was obvious that the man who claimed to revive the "Abraham Family" lost control immediately after taking the potion. .

The picture in the mirror still stayed in a messy house, with little bits of light condensing and finally turning into a simple-looking brass key.
