Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 340 Magic Mirror Channeling
Hugh Dilcha, who was about to chase him out the door, immediately put on a guarded posture. Only when he saw that it was Sherman who walked in through the door did he relax and asked with a frown:

"Sherman, are you...also an Extraordinary?"

It is normal for her to have this question. Being able to knock Barron, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall and has forward strength, back from the original route is definitely not what the thin Sherman can do, unless his body has also been transformed by the magic potion and has Extraordinary power.

Sherman had a mixture of nervousness and excitement on his face at this time. He just heard the sound of the door being kicked from the attic. He quietly went upstairs to check out of concern. He happened to meet Barron rushing out the door and subconsciously took out a dagger. , using the "charged blow" to stab Barron with a knife, making his own small contribution to this operation.

It may take some time for the tension caused by this sudden battle to gradually dissipate.

Hearing Xio's question, he didn't know how to answer. He subconsciously looked at Angel, who was half-crouching to check on Barron who had fallen to the ground. After a moment, he raised his head and said calmly:
"It's hopeless. Remember not to stab him next time."

Barron's life is not completely gone at this time, but the dagger hit his heart, and he will probably die on the spot in less than half a minute. Although she can use the magic pocket watch to transfer the wound, or use the flesh and blood control of the rose necklace to try to manipulate his body to repair the fatal He was injured, but even if he was saved, the seriously injured Barron would not be able to withstand the subsequent questioning. Excessive stimulation of fear might kill him again.

And now there’s a better “person to ask.”

Angel turned his gaze to Heras, who was lying in the middle of the attic floor, with wounds on his chest and back that had stopped bleeding.

"He is indeed an extraordinary person. Also, watch the door for me. I want to ask this guy a few questions."

She said to Sherman and Hugh, who were glaring at each other, attracting surprised looks from them.

"Ask a question? But isn't he... dead?"

Xio asked cautiously. It seemed that the combat power Angel showed just now had calmed down the somewhat ruthless bounty hunter, making her tone much more polite.

"The dead are more useful than the living."

Angel said with a smile on his lips, remembering his surprise when he first learned about "spiritualism" in Tingen City.

That's right, she is not going to be a divination master this time, she wants to be a psychic master.

The results of studying the "Book of Secrets" during this period include the method of using "magic mirror divination" to perform "spiritualism". The former is a way to directly communicate with the spirit world, while the latter uses the dead person to escape. The spirit body can obtain information about the other person's lifetime. It is mentioned in the "Book of Secrets" that using ritual magic, the two can be combined and the spirit body can temporarily attach itself to the mirror and have a simple conversation.

Of course, compared to a real psychic, this method requires arranging rituals, a quiet and undisturbed environment, and the duration of continuous channeling is shorter, so it cannot be considered a true "master".

After driving the other two people outside to look at the door, Angel took out the magic mirror he carried with him, placed it next to Heras, and then quickly created a spiritual wall with Holy Night powder to isolate the cold wind blowing from the window and the door. The foreigner questioned Sherman, and finally rubbed the "Secret Holy Emblem" with his hand and recited the honorary name of the goddess of the night in a low voice.

This matter involves a human trafficking case that she has been tracking since Tingen, so there is a legitimate reason to pray!

After asking the goddess for power, Angel used a spell to connect the recently deceased Heras to the magic mirror that could communicate with the spirit world. The small dressing mirror soon became deep and dark, and then the figure of Heras appeared inside. With a pale face, he looked at Angel with dull eyes, completely different from when he was alive just now.

"Heras?"

Angel asked tentatively.

"it's me."

Heras in the mirror nodded slowly and replied without any unnecessary nonsense.

Knowing that her "magic mirror channeling" was successful, Angel was a little excited. Compared with the communication potion making method she got from Laura, the little tricks she figured out made her happier.

"How did you learn so quickly that Barron had been attacked?"

She first asked the question that mattered most to her. Heras arrived at the scene less than 10 minutes after Barron was attacked. He was more competent than the archbishop of the Church of Storms who protected Duke Negan, which made Angel suspect that he had some kind of special power. Method to know the status of Barron.

"I used 'keep secret' on him. As soon as he leaked something about his work, I would know immediately."

Heras answered honestly, confirming Angel's suspicion.

"So, what exactly is your 'job'?"

She continued to ask according to the other party's words, so as to maximize the ability to ask the key content in the spirit body of the channeled target. "We obeyed the order and kidnapped and captured the homeless and poor people in the East District who no one cared about, and sent them to the designated location and handed them over to another group of people. Barron came from Byam and took charge of the East District in place of the deceased Kapin. The gangster, and I'm responsible for his safety and dealing with the disobedient thorns, that's our job."

"Order? Whose order?"

"I don't know them, but..." Heras frowned in the mirror, and continued to answer after a moment, "The leader wears a golden mask and cannot see his face, but he has used the ability of 'Judge', and even Stronger than me, I suspect he has reached Sequence 4."

Sequence 4... Demigod?
Angel's heart sank. She didn't expect that this matter would involve a certain demigod again, and according to Heras, the other party's potion path was the same as his, which was the "arbitrator" path. Almost all the medium and high-sequence potions in the path are in the hands of the military and the royal family. It can be said that this "demigod" either received help from the two, or is simply one of their people...

It seems I can only report it...

And it must be reported to the three major churches. If reported to the police, this matter is likely to disappear like the previous kidnapping cases involving Kaping.

After making up his mind, Angel continued to ask:
"Where is the place where you hide and hand over slaves?"

"In...in the northwest suburbs of Backlund, Tasok..."

Heras frowned, seeming to be thinking carefully, or perhaps the answer was difficult to say. Just when Angel was about to ask a question, the spirit body of Heras in the magic mirror suddenly froze, and then seemed to be wiped with a rag. It generally disappeared.

Angel quickly touched the mirror, only to find that the "channelling" had ended and the magic mirror returned to normal.

"Time's up? No...it's only been two or three minutes. The spirit body that just died will not be so fragile. When he tried to answer the handover position just now, he was like Barron who was being interrogated. He wanted to say it, but couldn't. …”

"Could it be that it's similar to Heras's 'secret keeping' ability, and someone has placed the same ban on Heras? It's more powerful and has more restrictions. As long as he tries to tell key information, even the spirit body will be attacked. ?”

The Arbiter Path Demigod that Heras mentioned just now suddenly appeared in her mind.

If Heras is affected by the same ban, then maybe the demigod already knows that someone has leaked the secret, and maybe he is coming here!
Thinking of this, Angel no longer wasted any time. She quickly put away the magic mirror, took off the rose necklace from her neck, put it on the head of the "judge", and "grazed" amidst the silent roar of the spirit of Heras. He killed him, and then removed the spiritual wall created by Holy Night Powder, and allowed the cold wind outside the window to blow past Heras's corpse that no longer had extraordinary characteristics.

Turning on his spiritual vision, Angel looked at Barron who was lying on his back at the door, and found that Extraordinary characteristics had begun to condense around him. Wisps of dark red gas came out from all over his body, forming a mass like a blood clot next to him. .

It will take shape in about one or two minutes...

She took this time to quickly use black flames to burn the walls, floor, and wooden chair that Barron was tied to in the attic.

The two people outside the door heard the noise and came in one after another. Xio saw black flames flying all over the room, frowned and asked:
"What's wrong? Do you need our help?"

"No, we are ready to leave. These two people are likely to have connections with the military or even the royal family. I will try my best to clear up clues and avoid being divination or tracking. You go down first and wait for me at the door."

Angel originally thought that Xiu would have objections. After all, she had promised to give her half of Barron's belongings in addition to the 50 pounds reward, but now was obviously not the time to search the house.

Unexpectedly, the other party nodded in agreement without hesitation. Instead, Sherman looked at the dagger on Barron's chest with some hesitation. At Xio's urging, he left the attic and quickly went downstairs with the sound of "dong dong" footsteps. .

After cleaning up the traces, Angel quickly searched the items carried by Heras. What surprised her was that the large gold-inlaid revolver with an exaggerated shape was just an ordinary weapon. It had no advantages except that it might be worth dozens of pounds. The iron-black gloves that he had used before at Capin's house, which could enhance his extraordinary abilities, were not on him.

After hesitating for a moment, Angel gave up the idea of ​​taking away the golden revolver. Even if the black flame and the hidden holy symbol blocked the divination, it would be the stupidest mistake to take away the other party's belongings directly. She even found several cards with different denominations. He didn't even take the banknotes, he just put the extraordinary properties extracted by Barron into a bullet box, sealed it with a spiritual wall, lit a black flame on the two bodies, and then quickly left the attic.

A few seconds later, she slowly walked into the room again, fumbled under her cloak, took out a brand new deck of tarot cards, picked out "Judgment" and "The Hanged Man", and placed them on Heras and Bar respectively. Lun's face sprinkled the rest casually in the attic, and then left with satisfaction.

……

Half an hour later, an unmarked two-wheeled carriage drove quickly and stopped in front of Barron's house. Two hooded men sneaked through the door and went straight to the attic.

After seeing the messy attic, tarot cards all over the floor and two charred corpses, one of them couldn't help shouting:
"Tarot cards again, judgment again?"

The voice was muffled and angry.
