Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 290 Tarot Society and Aurora Society

"Mr. Humphreys?"

Angel asked in confusion. She wasn't pretending, but she really didn't know this person.

"Well, he is Ms. Islant's friend. Do you know Islant?"

"We know her. She invited Miss Audrey to attend a psychology seminar, and I went with her." Angel wasn't sure what to do if he was completely unaware of being entered into a dream, so he could only answer without emotion, " After Audrey went to the living room alone, I realized something was wrong, so I found an excuse to call her out and left there."

"Something's wrong? Please elaborate."

Sost lowered his crossed legs, leaned forward, and asked.

"Well, I am actually a 'divineer', a real 'divinationist' with certain special abilities..."

Angel had already learned from Audrey that his "identity" had been leaked, so he did not hide it. He just made a distressed look and hesitated to tell his secret.

She attributed the problems she discovered through the Crimson Eye that day to reminders from "divination" and her suspicion that there were too few participants in the seminar.

"When we left the villa, there was a violent explosion inside. Miss Audrey and I were separated in the explosion. I felt very scared, so I left there in a hurry."

Obviously, Sost also learned about Angel's identity from Ms. Daly who asked Audrey before, so he did not show the slightest surprise, but continued to ask for some details, such as when Esilante received Audrey. Lishi's performance and whether there were any other strangers present.

"Did you see the person in the portrait when you left the villa?"

Finally, Sost took out a sketch from his pocket and handed it to Angel. The latter took it and found that it showed a round female face with slightly curly hair and a wide distance between the eyes, making her appear serious and indifferent.

If she hadn't been facing the Nighthawks, she would have laughed out loud on the spot. This was obviously a portrait drawn by the Nighthawks based on the description of the couple she rescued that night, but apart from the same gender, the hairstyle, face shape and facial features were all the same. "Irene" has many differences.She believed that even if she didn't put on extra disguise today, Sost wouldn't be able to recognize that the person in front of her was exactly the person they were looking for.

"Sorry, I probably haven't seen him before. There was chaos on the street after the explosion, and everyone was running away. I didn't notice this person."

She didn't give an exact answer because that would have seemed too deliberate.

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."

Sost stood up from the sofa, put on his top hat, bowed slightly, then strode out of the room and closed the door.

Angel was not surprised by his departure, but watched as the portrait in his hand suddenly disappeared, and the afternoon sunshine returned to the window.

She returned from the dream to reality.

Shaking her head in confusion, she stood up holding her forehead and looked around, as if she had just woken up from a strange dream, her eyes full of surprise.

----

"Audrey, it's so good to see you safe and sound."

Because he didn't know whether the Nighthawks were still observing him in the dark, Angel still made a "survive" expression to greet Audrey after seeing him. The latter understood Audrey after a moment of surprise. For the purpose, he smiled and opened his arms, hugged Angel, and gave a kiss.

Afterwards, the two members of the Tarot Club looked at each other tacitly, entered the living room together, and started the afternoon tea party.

Several nobles who were also invited by Audrey were basically people Angel knew. Gray Lint, who had become a "pharmacist", Cons, who worked in MI[-], and Ke, who had shown admiration for the rogue Black Emperor. Christine is among them.

After a brief exchange of greetings, everyone's conversation inevitably turned to today's topic, and they all turned their attention to Conseil Leerson, the nobleman who joined the army's department that dealt with extraordinary people.

"Look at what I'm doing. Even I can't leak top-secret information at will."

Although he refused, he still had a smile on his face. After taking a sip of coffee, he faced everyone's expectant gaze and continued:
"However, I heard some rumors yesterday. Just last weekend night, a divine envoy of the 'Aurora Society' died in the sewer of Hillston District, and his body was covered with tarot cards, and The same as the previous two 'Tarot Trials', there are two big cards at the top, which are 'Justice' and 'Judgment'."

"justice!"

Audrey sat up straight, her eyes widened, her emerald eyes full of excitement.

"Then, has the Black Emperor appeared?"

Christine, who has a sweet appearance and curly brown-black hair, asked. She had shown extraordinary interest in the Rogue at the last party, even almost admiring her. "It did appear, but according to witnesses at the scene, the murderer is someone else, a woman, and her whereabouts are unknown, just like the 'Black Emperor'."

Kang Si replied in a lower tone.

----

"So, the whereabouts of the woman who killed 'Shepherd' were not found?"

In a secret room under St. Samuel's Church, several Nighthawks were looking through the information on the table and discussing recent events.

"The only witnesses were the Allens. They lived on Burningham Road. I took notes at the scene. I went to their house in the middle of the night and used the 'Nightmare' ability to investigate, but nothing was found. Moreover, that Ai Dr. Lun has been very unlucky recently, and he even came to the church to seek help, and received comfort in dreams several times. His dreams were somewhat fragmented, and I did not explore in depth."

Leonard Mitchell, who has black hair and green eyes, said. He was wearing the same red gloves as several Nighthawks around him and was flipping through a stack of information.

"The 'shepherd' is judged to be a female based on the remains. I guess she is probably 'Ms. D' who escaped from Tingen City earlier and is one of the divine envoys of the Aurora Society."

"Red Glove" Lares, who was a little fat, took over and said. He had been injured in the operation to capture Ms. D. He looked at his captain, Sost.

The latter nodded and looked at a high-backed chair surrounded by bookshelves and files. There sat a woman in black robes. The eyeshadow and blush on her face made her highly recognizable.

"Daly, have you found the files on the two previous incidents involving tarot cards?"

"They were all borrowed by Sir Sesima, but I remember the details. What do you need to know?"

Unlike the other red gloves standing at the table, Dai Li sat in a high-backed chair, leaning back, as if she was not interested in everything.

"I suspect that the three incidents were carried out by the same group of people. The target was a cultist or a notorious person. They killed the target quickly and then left, leaving tarot cards with unknown meanings. Most importantly, they appeared in the Kapin case. The 'Black Emperor' also appeared at the scene."

Sost threw the information in his hand on the table. The top page was a photo of the remains of the "Shepherd" who died in the sewer. The "Justice" and "Judgment" cards on it were clearly visible.

"So you agree with the military that there is such a newly emerged secret organization with the purpose of eradicating evil and using tarot cards as a symbol, and it was them who killed Ms. D of the Aurora Society this time? "

Dai Li glanced at the middle-aged man with blue eyeshadow and suddenly smiled.

"Speaking of secret organizations, I have a new clue here. Recently, many people are looking for an organization that believes in the 'Fool', and you should all know that the 'Fool' is the first and most important one in the Tarot. Play a card."

Leonard, who was looking down at the information, suddenly raised his head, thoughtfully, and then murmured:
"You're saying that these two organizations are probably the same?"

"Yes, that 'Fool' even has an honorific name..." Dai Li rummaged on the table, took out a thin piece of paper, and read in Rune language, "The Fool who does not belong to this era, The mysterious master above the gray fog..."

----

"...the yellow and black king who controls good luck."

In an inconspicuous building in Queens, Mr. A's Extraordinary Party was going on. Everyone attending the party looked at the blackboard with three paragraphs written on it next to the hooded organizer and fell into deep thought.

"Help me find some people who believe in this so-called 'Fool'. Of course, maybe they are the 'Mysterious Master' or the 'King of Yellow and Black'. If you have any clues, come to me immediately. The reward you will receive will be beyond imagination."

Mr. A’s hoarse voice echoed in the room.

Forsi, who was sitting in the corner of the room, was almost stunned.

"Isn't this the honorary name of Mr. The Fool of the Tarot Club? How come Mr. A of the Aurora Club is searching for followers of the 'Fool' in such a high-profile manner? It's because he knows that Ms. D died at the hands of the Tarot Club and is looking for the murderer. ?”

Thinking of the news she heard at the tarot party, she regretted coming to the party today. Although no one should know the connection between "Forsi" and "Magician", she had a ghost in her heart and everything she saw looked like It's directed at myself...

Just when she was pretending to be nonchalant, Mr. A's deep, hoarse voice rang out again.

"In addition, if you provide clues about an organization symbolized by 'Tarot cards', such as 'Justice', such as 'Judgment', you can also receive rewards from me."

At this time, "Magician" Forsi was completely stunned.
