Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 324 Two apostles?

"You went to the bathroom just now to perform a divination on the handkerchief you got from Jason's house?"

In the hired carriage, Angel looked away from the street view outside the window and lowered her voice to ask Sherlock Moriarty, who was sitting opposite her.

When the other party went to Jason Belial's home in the morning, while several "Machine Hearts" were attracted by her attention, she secretly took a handkerchief used in the failed demon summoning ritual out of Jason's house.

At that time, Angel guessed that the handkerchief would be used for divination, so when Shylock went to the bathroom immediately after Ikanser left, she understood his purpose.

"Yes, that handkerchief was used by Jason in the ceremony. It is most closely connected with his body, mind, and spirit. After eliminating interference, I divined a luxurious building in Backlund. It has a glass greenhouse and a variety of plants. With bright roses, this kind of house structure is not common, but we will definitely not be able to find it for a while, and we will eventually have to wait for official news about the extraordinary person."

Sherlock sighed with regret and continued:
"The most important thing is that I saw the real 'Jason' in the divination. He was hidden under a piece of human skin. His appearance was slightly different from what we saw in the portrait in the morning. Combined with the sealed artifact 'Arod' Based on how Si' was misled, I guess that any divination on 'Jason Belial' will be located on that human skin, or the target wearing human skin."

"So, the 'Jason Beria' who is now heading to the dock area to take a boat to leave Backlund is actually not the 'Apostle of Desire' who attacked us yesterday, but one of his helpers, just wearing that mask Pi, attracted the Singer of God, the Punisher, and even other extraordinary people from the Righteous God Church?"

"There is no doubt that this is the case. Of course, with our reminder, the Mechanical Heart and the Nighthawks should soon be able to re-lock the real 'Desire Apostle', but maybe during the time that this point is delayed, their The real purpose has been achieved..."

The two of them looked out the window at the same time. In the distant sky, an invisible hand cut through the white clouds that rarely appeared in the sky, leaving a curved scratch on the blue sky, with the tip pointing towards the dock area in the southeast.

That was the trajectory of Ace Snake, the Archbishop of the Church of Storms and "Singer of God" who was attracted by "Jason Belial", flying in the wind.

"Bang bang——"

The sound of strong wind blowing the windows continued, and a dense and fast air mass in the sky quickly passed through. The wind brought by it tore apart the dark clouds and swept away a wisp of haze close to the ground, like an abstract painter. White and yellow colors are painted on the blue canvas.

"Hmph, that's really stupid and reckless."

In the attic, a pair of brown eyes looked at everything outside the window. He snorted and then looked away. It was the man who had shed Jason Belial's human skin and became the real "Apostle of Desire".

The box containing human skins at his feet was gone. The remaining smaller suitcase also contained stacks of large banknotes and a few gold bars. He knelt down, carefully closed the box and placed it in the corner. Then he closed his eyes slightly and sat on a wooden chair, sensing everything that happened downstairs.

He does not have the ability to observe others through floors and walls, unless the desire in the other person's heart is high enough for this "Desire Apostle" to easily target the other person.

At this moment, the man and woman downstairs were as bright as a torch in his mind.

"It's such a strong desire. Even if I'm secretly catalyzing and guiding it, it's too abnormal... This guy must have taken some medicine beforehand. Such cooperation really makes me unable to bear to kill you."

He murmured, his right hand tilted downwards, his fingers spread out, as if he was holding an object.

When he sensed that the desire below had expanded to the limit, the "Desire Apostle" grinned a cold smile, clenched his fingers, and twisted hard.

In a secret room on the second floor, a "Wind Blessed" sent by the Church of Storms suddenly noticed the danger in the room next to him and the spirituality erupting in the attic above. He didn't even bother to open the door. The strong wind directly knocked open the thick wall and broke into the bedroom next to it.

With a click, the door opened automatically at the same time. A blond man walked into the bedroom. The two looked at each other before looking deeper into the room.

Duke Pallas Negan, who was lively and chatting with the two of them half an hour ago, now had his eyes rolled white, his mouth was drooling, and he lay limply on top of a naked young woman.

"Protect him, I'll go to the attic to catch the murderer!"

After seeing the situation clearly, the Duke's secretary, a blond young man who looked elegant, made an immediate judgment, then turned around and left the bedroom without hesitation, and ran towards the top floor in large strides.

The furniture and furnishings along the way moved away as if they were alive, making way for the Sequence 5 "Chaos Mentor".

In just a few seconds, he crossed dozens of meters, opened the old door, and rushed into the attic.

The other "Wind Blessed" who stayed in the bedroom helped the weak Duke and kicked the mistress away from him to prevent this woman who was probably an "accomplice" from continuing to hurt the person he was protecting.

Duke Negan relied on his Extraordinary physique to recover a little from the frenzied emotions that were triggered. His heart was still beating fast and slowly, and the blood vessels in his brain were as painful as bursting, but this kind of thing could kill easily. The attacks from dead low-sequence extraordinary beings were not fatal to him.

He motioned to the "Wind Blessed One" who was supporting him to take off a necklace that looked like a conch around his neck, and held it to his mouth. He took a deep breath and blew it out. The air with saliva poured into the conch and turned into a An invisible tide surged out of the bedroom in an instant and rushed in all directions.

After he was assassinated by "Hurricane Lieutenant General" Qilingos three months ago, the Church of Storms prepared such an extraordinary item for the Duke. As long as the conch is blown, the sound it makes will be transmitted to the holy wind. The cathedral's "Singer of God" Ace Snake heard it, and the latter promised that he would come to support as soon as possible.

After doing this action, the Duke seemed to have exhausted all his strength and could not move while leaning on the "Wind Blessed One". The latter directly picked him up, pushed open the window and jumped from the second floor, landing in the back garden of the luxury villa. .Seven or eight gun-wielding members of the Duke's Guard heard the commotion and gathered from various places. Most of them were retired elite soldiers, and there were even two low-sequence Beyonders among them.Seeing the embarrassed Duke and the Church of Storms Extraordinaries protecting him, this well-trained guard gathered around him and used it as a human wall to block possible attacks from all directions.

"Wind Blessed" gently laid Duke Negan flat on the lawn, assumed a comfortable posture, and comforted:

"His Excellency the Archbishop is in the Holy Wind Cathedral not far away. He can arrive in less than half a minute after hearing the sound of the necklace."

"Tell him that he must be captured alive. I want to know who is dealing with me!"

Duke Pallas Negan, the largest land aristocrat in the Loen Kingdom besides the king and the leader of the conservative party, gritted his teeth and said angrily.

----

Hillston District, in a two-story building near Jorwood District.

A "Night Watcher" and a "Mechanical Heart" were busy in the living room on the first floor. Some were collecting suspicious items, while others were carrying buckets of hot water into the nearby bathroom and pouring it into the bathtub. From time to time, their eyes looked towards the center of the living room, where stood a tall man wearing silver-white full-body armor.

Leonard, who put on "1-42" with the help of his companions, put down his visor and walked to the coffee table with heavy steps. He bent slightly and looked at an antique silver mirror lying flat on the table.

"Are you sure there's no danger?"

He stretched out his hand and placed it on the surface of the silver mirror, turning his head to look at Ikonser next to him.

The latter nodded: "Don't worry, it won't cause permanent damage to your body."

It sounds like there is a big problem... But it is understandable that they are unwilling to explain the effect of the sealed object in detail. The cooperation between us is only temporary.

Leonard cursed and did not ask further questions. Instead, he followed the other party's instructions and stroked the mirror three times, making the living room, which already had only a few gas lamps, become even darker.

This hiding place of the "Apostle of Desire" was destroyed by the Punishers just an hour ago. When the Nighthawks arrived with "1-42", the group of violent Storm Lord believers had already left and were tracking the target's location. And go.Sost, who led the team, quickly asked Leonard to put on the sealed object, preparing to use the traces here to lock the opponent. Unexpectedly, the "Mechanical Hearts" who arrived later actually proposed another possibility.

"Dear Arrods, my question is, where is the 'Apostle of Desire' who attacked Isengard Stanton's residence yesterday?"

The room became quiet. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the shimmering mirror, where a blurry picture soon appeared:

In the garden next to a luxurious villa, a sturdy man with blue hair and beard was half-kneeling on the ground. Surrounded by several gun-wielding guards with fragile necks cut open, among the bright rose bushes, there was even brighter blood. It was scattered all over the ground, and not far away, a naked woman's head was broken, and she was curled up on the concrete floor. It seemed that she had fallen to death from a high place.

Viewed from a high altitude, in the center of this abstract oil painting lies a bloated man with a half-naked body. His eyes are wide open, the corners of his eyes are torn, and his face is full of panic. He has been killed by his own fear.

"This is Duke Pallas Negan... The Punishers are chasing the wrong person. The 'Apostle of Desire' is not on the ship in the dock area at all!"

Ikanser exclaimed.

As Backlund's armed force of the Steam Church and the deacon of the "Heart of Machinery", he inevitably has to deal with many nobles. Among the nobles he has seen, the man with a tragic death in the mirror is undoubtedly his identity. The most noble kind.

It became clear that the "Apostle of Desire" did not hesitate to reveal his identity to attract the attention of the official Beyonder. The purpose of using his companions to draw the attention of the "Singer of God" was to assassinate this real big shot.

And it can be seen from the picture provided by Arrods that he has succeeded.

In full view of everyone, a black shadow emerged from the attic window of the nearby villa, flowed down the wall like liquid, and the moment it fell into the garden, it transformed into a hazy human figure.

He rushed out of the garden in a few steps and came to the street. Without hesitation, he got into the sewer nearby and disappeared without a trace.

The scene disappeared, and scrawled words appeared on the silver mirror.

"Answering questions, lying or refusing will be punished."

There was no time to feel sad for the dead Duke Negan. Leonard immediately gathered his emotions, pursed his lips, and watched the words swim and change again, turning into questions:

"Is there something in your mind..."
