Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 251 Another party

"One person is in the attic, well, judging from the height, it should be the fourth floor, maybe to overlook the manor around the villa, and the other person is next to the living room at the front entrance. I didn't notice him at all when I walked in just now..."

The bright red figures of the two Extraordinaries looked extremely dazzling among the other light-colored ordinary people. Of course, Angel did not count the people who had been confirmed to be Extraordinaries, well, and the dogs.

For example, Miss Justice, although she claimed that she was looking for the "audience" potion, in the sight of the Crimson Eye, her body was already bright red, and the big golden retriever dog wandering in the villa was also an extraordinary creature. .As for Gray Lint... It's a pity that although he obtained the magic potion formula, he is still an ordinary person.

Quickly locking the position of the two Extraordinaries acting as bodyguards for the Earl's family, Angel immediately released his fingers, letting the obscene words gradually louder in his ears slowly disappear.

Sure enough, Earl Hall's family does have Extraordinaries secretly protecting them. Presumably, this Earl is the top noble and an influential cabinet member with a net worth of more than ten million pounds. If there is no Extraordinary protection in the family, then what will happen? Isn’t it like being at the mercy of others?

I heard that the Earl's family are all believers of the Goddess of the Night. Maybe these two extraordinary people were arranged by the Nighthawks, or even members of the Nighthawks themselves...

Angel guessed.

Fortunately, the two extraordinary beings were far away from the bathroom, and their movements did not reveal their prying eyes, which made her feel relieved.

But Angel still had to be fully prepared for what he would do next.

She waited for a moment, pressed the toilet button, and then opened the hot water valve next to the sink, letting the rising steam quickly cover the surface of the half-length mirror, making it blurry and unusable.

Then, she took out the magic mirror that looked like a small dressing mirror from her handbag, and carefully looked at her appearance in the mirror, like a beauty-loving woman who had to use her own dressing mirror because the mirror was blurry.

"Mirror Mirror told me the content of Hibbert Hall's conversation with Gray Lint."

She moved her lips slightly and recited the divination words silently, and then tapped the mirror with her thumb, causing it to ripple like water ripples, showing what only she could see and hear.

The reason for conducting divination within the vigilance range of the two extraordinary people was that she had just come into contact with the two targets of divination and could obtain the most information at this time. If she waited to leave the Hall's villa, she might only be able to see a few words.

For the sake of your Sequence 6 potion, these risks are worth taking.

"Sir Des Shaw also suggested this, but I need to choose the candidate. Do you have a suitable one?"

The mirror showed a dark room with the curtains drawn. The four people who had just been talking in the corridor were sitting at the coffee table, conspiring in low voices. Hibbert looked at Gray Lint and asked the questions he had not finished asking just now.

"Mary Gale, she is a member of the committee and a shareholder of Coim Company. That company's main product is anthracite coal, which is the beneficiary of the bill. The most important thing is that she and her husband are divorcing, and now Being isolated makes it a good target this time.”

Gray Lint said with a frown.

"Ms. Mary... I met her once. Very good. That's her. Keep your hands and feet clean and don't get caught, otherwise we will become a joke."

Hibbert said this to another middle-aged man.

"Okay, Mr. Hall, I'll go to the East District to find someone. With a few more hands, no one will be able to trace us."

The picture on the magic mirror faded, and Angel's own face was reflected again.

"Target... keep your hands and feet clean... are they planning to take action against Ms. Mary? The chief secretary of the Air Pollution Investigation Commission is plotting to take action against his own members?"

Angel, whose heart was in turmoil but whose expression remained unchanged, put away the magic mirror, as if using a dressing mirror to check his makeup, then washed his hands and left the bathroom.

On the way, she briefly touched the "Crimson Eye" in her handbag. The two extraordinary bodyguards were still in place, while the extraordinary dog ​​wandered to the other end of the villa, almost out of her sight.

Great, no one found out about my divination...

Angel felt relieved and returned to the reception room under the leadership of the maid.

Several nobles were talking about whether the "Black Emperor" was a boy or a girl. Christine, who had just shown an excited look, firmly believed that the Rogue was a female extraordinary because of the "Queen" card and because of the people passing by Kapin's mansion. According to rumors, Gray Lint, who has just returned here, thinks it is a male, because there are more witnesses of the Armor Crown Ghost, and the ghost is more than 1 meters tall, so it is unlikely to be a female.

"Or they are an organization. Some people use the 'Emperor' card as their identity symbol, while others use the 'Queen' card, and there are even other cards, such as 'Justice' and 'Strength'."

Kangsi temporarily forgot his identity as MI[-] and thought about it expectantly.

An organization?It's a pity that Moriarty asked me to scatter the cards on Cappin's body, and I... huh?

Angel suddenly reacted. If Cons's inference was correct, and there really was such an organization that would use tarot cards to announce after killing the target, then he would let himself put down "Emperor" and "Judgement" after Kapin's death. Is Sherlock Moriarty really a member of it, a member named the "Black Emperor"?

"If there is such an organization, then I must choose the 'Justice' card!"

"Justice" Audrey narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, interrupting Angel's thoughts. …

The party ended quickly, and several aristocratic children took their personal servants and left the Hall's villa in a carriage. Since Angel came in a hired carriage, Queens, especially the wealthy residential areas, did not There are few subway and public carriage lines. She may need to walk a while to find public transportation or hire a carriage to go home.

"Miss Eileen, please wait a moment."

Audrey stopped Angel who was about to leave.

At this time, apart from her, only Angel and Gray Lint, a few members of the "Occult Salon" were left in the room. The latter seemed to have known Audrey's plan for a long time and did not show any surprise.

"There will be a gathering of Beyonders later. It is the gathering that Ms. Fors mentioned last time where someone sold the 'audience' formula. They were unable to come due to some issues, and I would like to invite you to attend."

After Audrey finished speaking, she looked at Gray Lint aside. The Viscount also nodded and took over the topic:
"I also need to go to the party to buy the materials for the 'Medicine Master'. I don't have those two items in my family's treasure house."

He then lamented:
"The serial killer has finally been caught. Otherwise, if the gathering of Extraordinaries continues to be postponed, I will have to ask my father's old friends to find a solution."

The Viscount, who had obtained the coveted potion formula, had obviously been holding it in for a long time. At this time, he was able to attend the Extraordinary gathering and purchase the materials, with an expression of excitement on his face.

Angel originally wanted to leave immediately and go to Servilia to report the divination results that shocked her, but then he thought that after leaving the villa with the two nobles, he might be able to find out some information about Hibbert and confirm the divination results. As a result, I agreed.

And she guessed that Audrey asked her to go with him, probably because he needed to borrow her identity as an Extraordinary. After all, the earl's daughter was not yet a member of the Extraordinary, and Gray Lint had not become a real pharmacist. , the two of them should usually go to extraordinary gatherings under the accompaniment and protection of Xio or Forsi. At this time, when the other two were absent, they could only count on her.

Taking the Hall family's carriage, the three of them first arrived at Viscount Graylint's house, leaving the maid and Susie at his home. They then changed to another unmarked carriage. After several rounds, they changed to a carriage again. Arriving at the outskirts of the North District, I found a three-story house that originally belonged to Backlund Medical College but was now almost abandoned.

"Aren't they worried about being discovered and reported when they hold a party in a place like this in broad daylight?"

Gray Linte asked curiously. It was also his first time here. At this time, he followed Audrey into a dressing room. Together they put on white coats, white masks and surgical caps, and dressed themselves up. Like a medical student coming for internship.

"If you are in the North District, it is actually safer during the day than at night, because this area is under the jurisdiction of the 'Nighthawks' of the Church of the Night. They, well, are all nocturnal creatures..."

Angel put on his mask and explained in a muffled voice, thinking of the habit of his friends in Tingen City who liked to work on cases in the middle of the night.

"It's so eerie here. Even during the day, I feel like there are ghosts and evil spirits wandering around."

The Viscount murmured and couldn't help but shudder.

"Graylint, this is a gathering of extraordinary people. If any ghost or evil spirit appears, they will happily make it into materials, or capture it and use it as a servant." Audrey answered, leading The two walked to the other side of the dressing room, where there was also a door. "Besides, don't we have Miss Eileen? She is a real extraordinary person."

"Let me explain in advance that the 'divineer' has no fighting ability..."

Angel smiled sarcastically and added silently in his heart: Fortunately, I am not a "divineer".

Pushing open the door, the three of them entered a large classroom, where there were already more than a dozen members who were also wearing white coats and covering their faces with masks. They sat at a long table like medical students, facing the center of the classroom.

At the end of everyone's gaze, a transparent glass column stood erected, reaching to the ceiling. The interior was filled with light yellow embalming fluid, and floating in it was a male corpse wearing a black academic uniform.

There are four wooden stands with skeleton specimens around, and four equally transparent glass coffins with naked bodies preserved in embalming fluid.

"Ah..."

Viscount Gralint next to Angel let out a strange whimper after seeing the furnishings in the classroom clearly.

Amidst the pungent smell of antiseptic, she looked at the Viscount, who was almost shrinking into a ball. The part of his face that was not covered by the mask had become as pale as his white coat, and his eyes were wide open, showing undisguised panic.

He moved closer to Angel, the "Extraordinary", and almost touched each other before he stopped trembling.

Audrey, who was not here for the first time, whispered: "Follow me, find a place to sit down first."

Realizing that several people were already looking over here, Angel followed Audrey and sat down at the long table in the corner, sitting upright like the other participants.

Now there is only one textbook left, and I am back to my student days...

Cursing inwardly at this weird gathering place, Angel waited for a few minutes. When no new members opened the door, the male corpse in the glass column suddenly opened his eyes, quickly glanced around the party members outside, and then Open your mouth and let the sound come through the glass:

"Let the party begin."
