Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 240 Behind the Stage
The handsome man in the air was wearing a straight double-breasted dress and shiny leather shoes, as if he had just walked out of the banquet and stepped on the invisible floor in the air.

His golden eyes instantly locked onto the ruins-like dining room of the villa, and onto the mysterious woman who disappeared after a flash of fire as she approached the ground.

With a cold snort, the man raised his left hand lightly, and mysterious and complicated patterns and symbols poured out around him, about to form a new gate in front of him, but then, these symbols and patterns floated in the wind and disappeared.

"Can't lock...anti-divination that transcends demigods?"

After a while, he murmured, his left hand raised on the spot, and he didn't know whether to put it down for a moment.

At this time, a gust of wind blew past him, and the figure that was still vaguely visible in the distance flew next to the man in the dress.

The visitor was lifted up by the strong wind. He was wearing a black robe embroidered with the storm symbol and a soft hat of the same color. He had a serious face. He was the Cardinal of the Church of Storms and the Archbishop of Backlund Diocese, "Singer of God" Ace. · Snake.

"Selt? Why are you here?"

The Jowood District is under the management of our Church of Storms and the "Punisher" of Holy Wind Cathedral - his serious face expressed what he had not said.

"I live nearby. I heard some noise and came over to take a look."

The handsome man named Selt replied, his eyes sweeping over the still burning villa and the citizens on the road who were watching the explosion site and watching the girls huddled together, his expression not very good.

"Who was that just now?"

Ace, who arrived a step late, only saw a figure jumping from the attic in the distance, while Selt, who had already arrived, stood blankly in the air and couldn't help but ask aloud.

"Not sure, but she has powerful anti-divination measures."

After a brief exchange between the two people floating in the air, they came to the top of the villa and slowly landed on the lawn.

Ace Snake looked towards the wall of the restaurant where a large hole was opened. A violent hurricane blew up and rolled around the entrance of the hole several times. The negative pressure formed attracted the flames and smoke to the hurricane, and then they seemed to be directed by someone. Generally, when you pour into the fountain pool in the center of the lawn, the high temperature and water collide, creating a burst of steam.

Seeing that the flames were extinguished and the smoke dissipated, Selt quickly walked into the restaurant and looked at the servant's body pressed by the ruins of the wall, Parker with a bullet hole in his forehead, Katie who was bloody and lifeless, and Katie lying on his back. On the ground, his body was covered with tarot cards.

There is a main card on each of his eyes, which is "Judgment" with angels blowing trumpets and "Emperor" with armor and crown.

For no apparent reason, he thought of the woman wearing similar armor who had just disappeared in front of him.

"There are some attendants in other rooms and some guards outside, but they don't dare to approach."

Ace's voice came from behind him. The Archbishop slowly approached and looked around at the miserable situation in the restaurant, his face even uglier than Bislt's.

"Tarot?"

Looking at Kapin, the only one in the field who died in a strange way, the archbishop asked doubtfully.

"This is the second similar case recently," Selt said to himself. He was from the military, so he knew some information that had not yet been made public. "In early October, the 'True Creator' tried to come to Baker through a scammer. Rand, after the incident was solved by the military and the Nighthawks, the fraudster was tortured and killed in the sewers, and his body was also covered with tarot cards."

"This seems to have some kind of meaning. 'Judgement' is the motive and purpose. 'Emperor' may represent the woman who disappeared just now, and the tarot cards covering the whole body..."

Halfway through the analysis, Eska lost his temper. He looked at Selt, who answered:

"I also think so. She should belong to a new secret organization. After committing a crime, she would cover the dead target with tarot cards as a sign to announce to other members that the target has been solved and to reveal her existence to the outside world. "

But last time it was all the same big cards that were sprinkled on the deceased, this time it seemed to be all the big and small cards in the same deck, maybe it was the style difference between the different members, "Queen", and "Emperor", haha , is he provoking the Augustus family...

Selt recalled internal military information and tried to find other similar cases.

"Perhaps you will know all this if you catch up with that mysterious woman just now."

The "Singer of God" looked at Selt, as if he had just remembered that the extraordinary people in the military were also responsible for the extraordinary events that happened in Backlund.He was a little late and only saw the woman's figure fall to the ground and then disappear. She must have used some kind of fast movement method. There are too many Beyonders with this ability, even if the military person in front of him is High-sequence, you can also do this through magical items.

With this ability alone, it is impossible to determine the opponent's identity, but as long as Cester uses the teleportation ability to block the opponent, then...

"She is only a mid-level Sequence, with a maximum of Sequence 6, but she possesses anti-divination at the angel level," Selt glanced at the archbishop who was often late for important events. "I think we should maintain a little respect for the big shot behind her. Maybe you can try to negotiate?"

Ace Snake didn't answer.

An angel, even an angel who is not good at fighting, just needs to move his fingers, and even if there is a mid-sequence Beyonder standing in every room in this villa, he will die silently. There is no need to make such a big fuss.

Unless, this ritual-like scene has some special meaning, or the angel himself is inconvenient to take action, but sends one of his men to handle it.

To track and provoke this angel, or his men?
The two were silent for a moment, and tacitly decided to report it afterwards instead of discussing whether they should pursue him or not.

They split up and continued to search every corner of the restaurant, intending to piece together clues to see what happened.

Outside the villa, a group of punishers arrived in a carriage and began to block the scene with the assistance of the police and drive away the people.

----

"Just come here. It should be not far from Minsk Street."

Angel said.

After she met up with Sherlock, she ran along the sewer for more than a kilometer, away from Kapin's house, and came to the other side of the Jowood area.

At this time, the effect of her "magic pocket watch" has long passed, and the next 12 hours will be difficult. Fortunately, the sewer environment in the Jowood District is slightly better than that in the East District and Backlund Bridge District. Otherwise, their one kilometer journey will be extremely difficult. .

Although it was already dawn, there were many people in Backlund who were so luxurious that they lit gas lamps during the day. After sending this enthusiastic detective away, Angel would continue to return to the safe house in the East District through the sewers and wait for the negative effects of the pocket watch to disappear.

A ray of sunlight shone into the underground manhole cover overhead, illuminating the small surrounding area. The two stood still in the light.

Angel took out a copper penny and tossed it to Moriarty - this was the pre-arranged "reward" for the commission.The latter took it, bounced it with a "ding" sound, the coin fell into his palm, and the head of "George III" shone in the sun.

"The heads indicate affirmation. I assume you are divining the safety of those girls?"

Looking at the familiar coin divination, Angel asked with a smile.

After the discussions and arrangements before the battle, and the opponent's performance during the battle, including the familiar "flame jump" and "paper man substitute", she already knew that the detective was Sequence 7 of the "Soothsayer" path, "Magician". This makes her self-proclaimed "divination expert" yesterday seem so ridiculous.

But compared to this embarrassment, she was more confused.

At the first "Eye of Wisdom" gathering, Moriarty seemed like an ordinary person who knew only a little about the field of occultism. Because he got into trouble with the Extraordinary, he looked around for a way to survive, and then took the magic potion. Become extraordinary.

But if this is the case, he is equivalent to being promoted from Sequence 9 to Sequence 7 in one month. Even Angel, who knows the "acting method" and can "act in advance", would be ashamed.

The greater possibility is that he lied in front of others and hid his identity as an Extraordinary. He was already an Extraordinary and even had Sequence 7 at that time. This also allowed him to solve the Sequence 400 with [-] pounds of magical items. The experiences of the extraordinary become believable.

Furthermore, his incredible "spiritual transformation" ability obviously does not belong to the "magician" category. In addition to possessing a magic pocket watch, Angel also fought with a magician from the Secret Order, and the other party did not show similar symptoms. Ability.Transformation into a spiritual body may belong to the subsequent sequence of the magician, but if Moriarty was Sequence 6, he would not be anxious to ask for help from a group of low-sequence Extraordinaries who are not as powerful as him at the Extraordinary gathering.

So he must have some magical item that allows him to transform into an armored crown ghost, able to plant explosives through buildings, able to exert negative effects through physical contact, and even able to harm an entire restaurant of Beyonders by screaming.

Of course, everyone has secrets. She did not ask in detail. The two only cooperated for a short time and could not be called acquaintances. Didn't she tell the existence of the "Ring of Madness" and the "Secret Holy Emblem"?
However, the magician and fortune teller’s Sequence 7...

If he were still alive, he would be close to becoming a "magician" by now, right?
Looking at the penny with the head upside down, Angel felt a little sad.
