Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 329 Wrong Answer

Night had fallen, and in a garden beside Campbell Street, several horse-drawn carriages belonging to the police system were parked chaotically on the lawn, and several police officers were intercepting pedestrians passing by.

After changing the operator of "1-42", the official Beyonders on the ground quickly gathered in the sewers and gathered around the body of "Apostle of Desire" Jason Belial.

The thug who wreaked havoc on Backlund enjoyed extremely high courtesy after his death: a demigod, and more than ten mid-sequence Extraordinaries watched him off with their eyes, and several of them expressed their gratitude for his death. regret".

"He died in the sewer so inexplicably, and you didn't even leave any clues about the murderer?"

"Singer of God" Ace Snake's magnetic voice was full of anger at this time, like a storm about to erupt with earth-shaking energy.

"Actually, there are some clues, Mr. Snake."

Extraordinaries from the three parties were all present, representing their respective churches. Although Ikanser, the deacon of "Machine Heart", maintained basic respect for this demigod who was fooled at a critical moment and caused the death of important people, he still There was no concession in tone.

"When Sealed Artifact '1-42' arrived here, the 'Apostle of Desire' was already dead, but there were still two figures at the scene. To be precise, they were one person and one spirit. The former was a woman, and the blood stain here was her It was left behind when he was attacked, and the latter was a ghost wearing a crown and black armor. He disappeared the moment he was locked by 1-42."

"So, there's still nothing left."

Ace snorted coldly and said nothing.

Duke Negan was assassinated less than 500 meters away from the Holy Wind Cathedral. However, he was tasked with protecting this important figure, but was led to the outskirts of the city by the fake apostle of desire. In the end, he only found a sheet wrapped in stone. The human skin that sank to the bottom of the river was already a major mistake.

Maybe it won't be long before someone at the Cardinals' Meeting of the Church of Storms will propose a motion to transfer him out of Backlund Diocese. With the large number of archbishops staring at him here, his situation is very dangerous.

This was the main reason why he was eager to find the real culprit. Since the Duke was dead, he had to give an explanation to the royal family.

"Can the other party be traced through blood stains? What about other clues? The ice here has not yet melted. There are scratches from different weapons on the wall. The corpse has obviously been burned by holy light energy, and it is also covered with Tarot cards. So many people , don’t you have a clue?”

Another deacon from the Church of Storms also helped.

Among the three extraordinary forces, they came the slowest, and now they became the confidence to blame others: You came so early, why don't you have any clues?

"The other party has the ability to counter divination, and all methods have failed. Even 1-42 failed to capture the murderer who left through a double."

"After searching the area, no body or other traces of blood were found. The police are looking for clues in the streets above."

"Tarot cards? Could it be the organization that has committed many crimes recently? That ghost may be the 'Rogue' Black Emperor!"

Because it was a cooperative process, although several people from the parties were a little angry, the discussion was still harmonious.

The only witness, Leonard Mitchell, stood in the corner, watching the debate with cold eyes. He had just crawled out of the frozen temporary bathtub. His hair was still dripping with water, and his neck was slightly tilted to one side. Side, seems to be listening to some sound.

At this time, he would rather be a transparent person.

Unfortunately, his new captain Sost quickly remembered such an important person and called him to the body to ask his opinion.

"The tracking of 1-42 has not been interrupted, but before I followed the induction and came here, I didn't find the other two people. This shows that the other party has an anti-divination ability that is no less than a level 1 sealed object or a sequence 4, at least stronger. The 'Apostle of Desire' in Sequence 5.

"The woman should have used 'Mirror Stand' when she was attacked. I have seen this ability before. It belongs to the mid-sequence Extraordinary of the 'Assassin' path, and the other ghost has the same appearance as the 'Black Emperor' from the previous Kapin case. Consistent, combined with the tarot cards on the corpse, I think they belong to the same force as the 'Rogues' in the Capin case, or even the same group of people."

Leonard analyzed carefully and did not reveal the secrets that another voice in his head told him.

"The Rogue Black Emperor? Are you sure?" "Singer of Gods" Ace looked at Leonard and asked with a frown.

He once saw the ghost that made a fuss in the newspapers in the distance of Kapin's mansion, but before he could get close, the ghost suddenly disappeared in front of him, and according to another military demigod who arrived earlier, Based on his judgment, the other party possesses angel-level anti-divination ability. Although this may be the effect of a certain magical item and does not mean his own ability, it is enough for him to face it cautiously.

Moreover, this method of "silencing" the assassin in front of him is somewhat like the fate of the previous "Lieutenant General Hurricane". After the latter's assassination failed, he also died at the hands of unknown persons on the way to escape. It was almost like someone It was as if she had been waiting for him to appear.

"It is basically certain that he was also present in the Aurora Club incident in Hillston District at the beginning of the month. Just like this time, the deceased was covered with tarot cards."

Leonard replied, looking at Soest aside. The Red Glove captain, who also participated in that operation, nodded to confirm this.

While several people were talking, two "Mechanical Hearts" came over from a distance. They exchanged a few words in a low voice and took out a silver mirror. It was the "mechanical heart" that had almost revealed Leonard's secret before. Arrodes".

The poet, whose expression suddenly became solemn, quietly took two steps back and let others stand in front of him.

Fortunately, there were many people eager to ask questions, and no one paid attention to him. "Singer of God" Ace Snake quickly asked how to use the sealed object, touched the mirror three times himself, and asked aloud:
"Honorable," he paused, obviously not used to speaking in this tone, "Arrods, my question is, who are the people who killed this 'Apostle of Desire' and where are they?"

There was no change on the surface of the silver mirror for a few seconds, which made Ace almost think that it had failed. But then, water ripples rippled, and a magnificent scene with rich colors, like an oil painting, appeared.

The "Black Emperor" wearing a black crown stretched out his hand, and a golden beam of light appeared, covering the "Apostle of Desire" who was kneeling in front of him begging for mercy. The latter had a bone sword with jagged bone spurs on his head and an astonishing momentum. It was held in a slender white hand.

Then, the screen squirmed and switched, and a stack of Tarot cards burned in the black fire. The first card was the top of the big card, "The Fool".

The picture disappeared, and the silver mirror reflected the doubtful eyes of the "Singer of God".

"Your Excellency Snake, this kind of scene without specific meaning usually means that the other party has carried out anti-prophecy and anti-divination processing," Ikanser took the initiative to explain, "The first scene is obviously the other party killing the 'Apostle of Desire' At that moment, it looked like the two of them were moving their hands together, and the second scene..."

He was a little stuck in his words and looked at his colleagues for help.

"Tarot cards should indicate the identity of the other party. Recently, an organization using tarot cards as its representative has been circulating in Backlund's underground world. What they believe in is the 'Fool'!" Carlson, wearing thick-lensed glasses The deacon who helped him replied, "And the burning cards may mean... that they started fighting because of the uneven distribution of the spoils?"

Everyone present, including Ikanser, looked at this imaginative Heart of Machine member with an incomprehensible look.

"Ahem, Mr. Snake, it's time for you to answer the question."

Just when there was an awkward silence in the sewer, someone reminded him softly, bringing everyone's attention back to the "Singer of God".

The latter looked at Arrods with a nonchalant expression. He firmly believed that with his knowledge and experience, he could answer any difficult questions raised by the sealed artifact.

"Have you ever been disrespectful to the gods you believe in?"

Ace Sinek, who was always calm and composed when facing high-sequence extraordinary people, suddenly felt that his heartbeat had stopped for half a beat, and he felt that the gazes of the three extraordinary church members around him were looking at him with some scorching heat.

The sun is shining brightly outside the window, and today is another rare sunny day. Angel's mood by the bay window is not as beautiful as the sunshine outside. She is not sitting on her favorite single sofa, but is kneeling on the coffee table. Next to him, he was playing with the "good luck" revolver in his hand.

In front of her is a rose necklace that has absorbed the soul and extraordinary characteristics of the "Apostle of Desire", as well as all the evil thoughts before death; a citrine pendant that hangs the "Secret Holy Emblem" and is shining in the sun; it can help her hide her appearance , but the "Crazy Ring" that accumulates all kinds of desires; as the last insurance, the "Magic Pocket Watch" allows her to be deterred by any fire.

Each "Storm Gathering" engraved with complex patterns was loaded into the cylinder of the revolver. Angel stared at the side of the living room. As gentle footsteps sounded, the door leading to the guest room was opened from the inside. Pulling it open, a figure appeared in front of her.
