Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 330 Correct response

"Why didn't you set a fire yesterday?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Angel realized that her voice was hoarse than when she got up yesterday, but in order to strengthen her momentum, she still tried to make her tone deeper and angrier.

"Didn't I tell you in advance?"

she added.

Of course, the "Good Luck" pistol he held was obviously more frightening. As soon as Sherlock walked out of the door, facing the black muzzle of the gun, he raised his hands directly. The cuffs of his shirt that he didn't have time to button fell down to his elbows, revealing Two streaks of blood on the skin of the forearm.

This reminded her of her madness last night, with a complicated expression on her face.

The first time she fought against the "Apostle of Desire", Angel was struck by the opponent's mental shock, which triggered all kinds of negative emotions and desires in her mind. Therefore, she had already made sufficient preparations before planning to intercept the opponent and fight again yesterday. Prepare.

Judging from the results after the battle, everything is under control.

But the appearance of Sealed Artifact "1-42" ruined everything.

Just like her ability to resist divination, this sealed armor can also resist divination. Therefore, the moment before she was attacked, her magic mirror and spirituality did not give any warning, until a silver-white sword blade emerged from her body, killing her. When his limbs and torso were cut into pieces, Angel was shocked to realize that he was under attack. He barely escaped through the mirror substitute and used the movement behind the substitute to leave the place.

Then there are the flesh-and-blood magic and negative effects of the "Rose Necklace", as well as the verge of losing control due to serious injuries...

The moment she was pulled by Sherlock, she regarded the detective with the same black hair and brown eyes as the person in her heart, lost her last trace of reason, and gave up on suppressing her desires.

"I..." Sherlock pursed his lips, and the voice coming out of his chapped lips was equally hoarse, "...I'm sorry..."

His eyes flickered, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end he just said one word.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on him, it is just the inevitable result of many factors such as his instinct to suppress "pleasure", the extraordinary ability of the Desire Apostle, the negative effects of his various magical items.

Although it was difficult to accept that after turning into a woman and using this body to do the stupid thing last night, the other person was at least a familiar person.

Instead of shooting him down and making the two of them enemies, it's better to think about what to do next.

——In this case, it should be reasonable.

His face kept changing, and after a few minutes of stalemate with Sherlock, who was standing at the door of the guest room with his hands raised, Angel finally put down the "Good Luck" pistol and cocked the hammer back to avoid accidentally firing.

Sherlock also breathed a sigh of relief and put down his raised hand. He did not come here immediately, but came to the kitchen, made a pot of coffee, and made a simple breakfast with overnight bread, eggs and bacon— —Although it was already noon.

Angel, on the other hand, kept looking at his busy back, as if looking at someone in his memory.

……

When he brought fried eggs, bacon, toast and coffee to the coffee table next to the bay window, Klein discovered that the reason Angel was not sitting on the sofa was...she was only wearing a shirt that didn't fit well.

The clothes she wore yesterday were covered in blood and in tatters. They were thrown away in the dark.

Fortunately, his neighbor and landlady, Mrs. Starling Summer, was home all day long.Klein borrowed a set of old clothes from Summer's house, and when he returned home, the "breakfast" in front of Angel had been wiped out.Facing his surprised gaze, those purple eyes moved away, seeming a little embarrassed.

After making an excuse to go to the bathroom and letting Angel change his clothes, he returned to the living room to enjoy his share of food, fill his already shriveled stomach, and regain a little strength.

He poured the still hot coffee into his stomach to relieve the pain in his body, and then Klein was able to appreciate Angel sitting opposite him and look at the face that had regained its true appearance.

Until the other party put on the ring again and became the ordinary-looking "Eileen Watson" again.

"Sorry...Miss Erin."

he said again.

For yesterday and now.

……

"So, it was indeed that sealed object that seriously injured you yesterday..."

Since he decided not to pursue what happened last night, Angel quickly calmed down and communicated with the other party about the results of yesterday's battle.

Sherlock sighed softly after confirming the lethality of "1-42" again.

"It seems that even if we don't participate in the battle, the Desire Apostle will die under this sealed object. Of course, the premise is that the other party can catch up with him." He resumed his usual sitting posture and tapped his right index finger on the armrest of the sofa. This means that he is thinking, "Fortunately, killing him in advance allows us to gain a lot, such as the results of psychic communication." Angel raised his eyebrows, this was the thing that interested her the most.

"The real target of the Desire Apostle is indeed not us, or the people who killed the 'Demon Dogs'. He made a gesture of revenge just to attract the attention of the official Beyonders, and even used another 'Desire Apostle' as bait to lure The demigod who opened the Church of Storms created a gap in defense around his real target.

"His real target is Duke Negan."

"Who?"

Angel asked subconsciously, and then recalled the name of this powerful man in his mind.

Duke Pallas Negan, the largest land aristocrat outside the royal family, one of the people at the top of Backlund's power pyramid, even though Angel has only been here for more than two months, he has seen him more than once in the newspapers. Once this name.

This kind of person, who might be more important than some unpopular royal family members, actually died at the hands of a Sequence 5?

"For this reason, this apostle of desire abandoned everything in Backlund. He lurked in the Duke's mistress's home, used the other party's extreme emotions to launch an attack, and immediately left Backlund after succeeding in the attack. As a reward for the assassination, What he can obtain is a ticket to a high sequence, a 'blasphemous card' that records the recipe for potions. And the one who instructs him to complete these tasks and provide rewards is..."

At this point, Sherlock paused.

"To be cautious, I won't mention their names. Maybe in the future, with the help of Mr. Fool, I will have the opportunity to tell you all this."

Angel's eyes widened in confusion and he looked at the other person, but he understood the meaning of this sentence in the next moment.

Sherlock believed that even mentioning "their" name might lead to discovery and even interference.

Just like 0-08…

"Then let's talk about something else." She immediately stopped this dangerous topic and pointed to the rose necklace on the coffee table. "The herding of the 'Desire Apostle' was successful. This magical item currently has three 'demons'." 'Ability."

The moment herding is successful, the owner of the necklace will know what the three abilities of "extraction" are.

The first is "desire to control", which can covertly or violently arouse the other party's negative emotions and desires. Covert attacks are not easily detected by the other party, whereas conversely they will inevitably be discovered, but the effect is significant.

Secondly, "Filthy Words", you can pronounce words in devilish language and affect the people around you. But unfortunately, the word "slow" was drawn, which can slow down the people nearby for a few seconds. It should be useful in melee combat. effective.

Finally, there is "malicious induction", which can detect the malicious intentions of others towards you and know the location of the other person.But it must be one that is able and ready to take action, and the distance cannot be too far. The "Devil Dog" once used this method to locate Sherlock.

Although she did not have the powerful extraordinary abilities of "Demonization" or "Fear Seed" that they had seen before, as the first soul that Angel herded, she was already very satisfied with it.

In this way, in addition to flesh and blood control, the necklace has three more different abilities, and this is only one-third of the extraordinary characteristics of the "Shepherd". There are also two positions that can be used to herd other souls.

I'm afraid, this is the biggest gain from yesterday's battle... That's right!
"When you found me yesterday, did you see the suitcase next to me? The one where the Apostle of Desire holds the money?"

Angel suddenly remembered their real "harvest" yesterday, the box that the Desire Apostles were reluctant to leave behind when they fled, and asked immediately.

"At that time, I was just...not paying attention to the boxes around me."

Sherlock frowned and replied. Various fragments of yesterday flashed through his mind, but there was no priceless suitcase among them.

The two stared at each other, then sighed at the same time after a moment.

"I'll try to look for it tonight, um... I'll use my spirit body to go there to prevent official extraordinary people from using that box to set up an ambush."

Somewhat reluctant to part with the income of tens of thousands of pounds, Sherlock finally decided to take the risk himself and secretly search for it in the middle of the night. What if the official Beyonder search missed this box?

After finalizing the matter, the conversation came to an end. Angel looked at the setting sun outside the window, stood up from the sofa and prepared to leave, but because his feet were a little weak, he staggered and almost fell.Sherlock, who stood up opposite her, subconsciously raised his hand to help, but stopped under her cold gaze.

Yes, you can't be too intimate, at least not now.

Sherlock - Klein thought with some regret as he watched Angel pack away all the magical items on the table and leave his home. He could still vaguely hear the sound of the other party hailing the hired carriage outside the door.

It wasn't until the sound of the wheels faded away that Klein exhaled and sat back on the sofa. He looked at the gold chain wrapped around his left wrist. The amethyst hanging at the end was shining brightly in the sunlight outside the window.

As soon as a smile appeared on his lips, as if he was afraid of being seen by someone, he immediately straightened his face, buttoned up his cufflinks, hid the amethyst pendant, and began to clear the tableware on the coffee table.

But a sentence he saw in Russell's diary still appeared in his mind involuntarily.

"...It's really good..."
