Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 282 The belated Nighthawks
"Bang, bang!"

Two silver-white warheads flew past the armored crown ghost that was constantly dodging in the sky. The night watchers in police uniforms below were chasing the looming figure while raising their guns to shoot. The precious demon-hunting bullets seemed to be free of charge. The same thing spilled out.

Leonard Mitchell was among them. He had just finished training in Winter County and became an official member of the "Red Gloves". He only arrived at Backlund this afternoon. Unexpectedly, he was pulled to perform an emergency mission that night. .

He squinted his eyes and aimed at the flexible figure in his spiritual vision, slowly pulled the trigger, and fired another "demon hunting bullet". He knew that "purifying bullets" should be more effective against such evil ghosts, but it was a pity that the Nighthawks The former is commonly used.

After accurately aiming, the bullet hit the armored ghost's head with a dark crown, but at that moment, the opponent's figure faded, revealing the crimson moon behind him, and the entire "person" disappeared without warning.

It's like he never existed.

At this moment, Leonard even thought he was hallucinating, but his teammates beside him also made confused sounds and put down their pistols one after another. His new captain, the "Requiem Master" Sost of Sequence 6, even cursed angrily. In a word, there is no ordinary elegant image.

"Damn it, give me one more second and I can control him!"

The "Soul Master" can put the spirit body into sleep and is good at dealing with the situation just now, but Sost has tried it several times and has never been able to get the ability to have an effect.

I'm afraid it will be the same even if I try a few more times...

Leonard secretly cursed, and then a trace of sadness arose in his heart. These new team members were very capable and rigorous in style, but they lacked a sense of humor. After leaving Tingen, no one could catch his jokes.

If Captain, if Klein and the others are still there...

"That guy looks a bit like the Rogue Black Emperor..."

A nighthawk beside him said to his companions.

Dark Emperor?
Leonard, who had been conducting closed training and hadn't paid attention to the news for a long time, looked at the other party in confusion.

"Leonard, come with me. We will go to the villa that the lady mentioned to check. The others will search the location where the guy just appeared, especially sewers, alleys and other places. I suspect that he was stalling for time just now. , to cover up something.”

Before he could think about it, Sost had already assigned the task with a serious face. Leonard had no choice but to follow the captain, walk through the messy streets and gardens, and enter the villa with the door open.

This is their mission target. 15 minutes ago, Earl Hall's daughter came to St. Samuel's Church for help, saying that something strange happened here. Since the other party is a believer of the goddess of the night, the Sost team who is on duty Only then could they come to this area that was not originally under their jurisdiction and intervene in the incident.

The two stepped into the living room. The tables, chairs, and ornaments in the room had been shattered by the explosion and scattered all over the floor. It was obvious that there were two explosion locations. Traces of blood were scattered radially on the carpet, but strangely the flesh and blood were very strong. Less, leaving only the strong smell of blood.

Leonard nervously took out his revolver, but Sost seemed to be used to similar scenes. He walked quickly around the living room and walked along the side corridor to other rooms.

According to Audrey Hall's description, after passing through the corridor that seemed to have been destroyed by a heavy giant sword, and the ceiling collapsed, and they could directly see the living room on the second floor, they came to a living room.

There was only a man in his 30s inside. He was wearing a gray tuxedo and his hair was neatly trimmed. He had his eyes closed and fell on the floor next to the sofa, his chest heaving and his breathing steady.

Looking at the only survivor left in the villa, Sost sat directly on the sofa. Just about to use his dreaming ability, he looked at Leonard holding a pistol aside as if he remembered something.

"Are you already familiar with the 'Nightmare' ability? It's up to you this time."

He moved his chin towards the unconscious male to signal Leonard.

The latter nodded, put away the gun, and sat directly on the sofa next to the man. He held his forehead with one hand and half-closed his eyes. A wave of Sost's extremely familiar wave was centered on him.

About 5 minutes later, the new "Nightmare" opened his eyes, his green eyes turned clear, and he looked at his captain.

"His name is Stephen Hampres. He is a furniture merchant and a lover of mysticism and psychology. Today he invited Miss Audrey Hall and Ms. Islant Osisleka to his home for discussion. It's a psychological issue, but after Miss Hall left, Islant knocked him out, well, that last bit is his own guess, he didn't see the other party doing it with his own eyes."

After briefly telling Soest what he had asked about in the dream, he looked at Hampres who was lying on the ground next to him. The latter had gradually woken up after being exerted by the nightmare and crawled up while groaning. stand up.

"You are... Oh, two police officers, what happened? I seem to have had a nightmare, Ms. Islant..."

His dark brown eyes were full of doubts, and he stood up holding the back of his head.

"It's nothing serious, Mr. Humpres." Sost stood up from the sofa and adjusted his police uniform. "Today's guest, Isilant Osisleka, attacked you and your servants. , and then fled here, well... she may have caused a little damage to your villa along the way, don't worry, we will bring her to justice." Hampres, who has not yet distinguished between reality and dream, seems to have fallen into a nightmare again. , murmured:
"Isilant? Why did she attack me? And destroy the villa?"

He staggered and fell down on the sofa, his eyelids quickly drooped, his head hung down, and he fell into sleep again.

"Let him rest for a while, and let's continue looking at other places."

The Red Glove Captain put down his right hand that was pressing his temple and turned towards the door.

Leonard was a little stunned by Sost's resolute approach. He felt that the Nighthawks in the big city had completely different styles from Tingen City, but he quickly came to his senses and followed the other person out of the reception room.

When the footsteps of the two gradually faded away, Humphreys, who had fallen asleep, suddenly raised his head, opened his eyes, and grinned with a sneer.

"Huh, Nighthawks," he whispered with disdain in his tone, "Fortunately, I have a way to prevent their ability, otherwise they might find something they shouldn't see..."

He changed the topic and sounded confused.

"But what happened to Esilante? No, it's probably not her... I have to report to the jury as soon as possible, but not now, they may come back at any time to continue questioning..."

The voice gradually became lower, and Humpreis closed his eyes again and lowered his head to sleep, as if he had been doing this since the two Nighthawks left.

……

As soon as they walked out of the villa, Sost and Leonard met another Nighthawk who was searching outside.

"Captain, something was found in the sewer on the street."

"As expected... take me there."

The three of them quickly came to the street. Leonard passed by the Nighthawk who was questioning a young couple. After saying something to Sost, he replaced the "Midnight Poet" and prepared to use his nightmare ability to conduct a little investigation. By the way, Act accordingly.

He was about to speak when he suddenly froze, tilting his head to listen to something. It wasn't until the tall and thin man and the black-haired lady in front of him looked puzzled that he came back to his senses and coughed lightly.

"Alan Kress? I need to ask you a few questions. Please answer them truthfully."

He did not use his ability to enter dreams as planned, but took out a pen and paper and started taking notes like an ordinary policeman.

……

In the sewer, Sost was led by his subordinates to a corner not far from the exit. In addition to the faint smell of sewage, the air here was also filled with a strong burnt smell.

The source of the stink was a corpse on the ground that no longer had a human shape. It was hunched, its limbs were tightened, its appearance was charred, and there was no good piece of meat visible. It was covered with tarot cards, swords, scepters, and various other items. There are three different big cards, and at the top of them, "Judgment" and "Justice" are placed face up.

Next to this "corpse", an eye-sized one with extraordinary properties like a diamond has been precipitated. Even in the lightless sewer, it reflects the faint light coming from nowhere, as if it is in the starry sky.

Soest, who is well-informed, knows that this is an extraordinary characteristic of an "astrologer".

Not only that, there was a little bit of dust gathering next to the corpse, and a few of them had a hint of orange-red light, like burning debris next to a fire, which was combining into a gradually larger, scorching ball.

Another extraordinary characteristic?
Sost took a breath. Although he had never seen this phenomenon with his own eyes, it had long been circulated among the "Red Gloves".

Only a "shepherd" who has shepherded the souls of multiple Extraordinary people will continuously release Extraordinary characteristics after death.

"Aurora Society!"

He whispered, causing the Nighthawks beside him to widen their eyes and look at their captain in surprise.
