Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 345 The Faceless Man
"Crimson!"

The moment Angel was shrouded in phantom phosphorescent powder, Lorota behind Borgia threw a thin piece of silver and shouted the ancient Hermetic word at the same time.

Within the Nighthawks, there are several combat or auxiliary spells, which are usually activated using words such as "night" and "crimson" that are engraved into the spell in advance. Therefore, the type of spell cannot be determined based on the words spoken.

But at this moment, she will only use this one——

"Sleep Charm"!
The silver pieces burned in the air, and a deep and peaceful feeling spread. The first person who bore the brunt was Borgia, who was standing in front of Loretta, and then Angel in the study. Loretta took two steps back and returned. Go into the corridor and aim your gun at the door.

Rather than using a spell that makes no distinction between friend and foe, she would also delay time and let the "Nightmare" Al Hassan downstairs once again use his extraordinary ability to pull the target who woke up for some reason into a dream.

Otherwise, enemies that can become invisible cannot be dealt with by two Sequence 8s.

"Boom-"

There was the sound of something heavy falling to the ground, but only one sound.

Looking into the study from the door, Borgia has fallen to his knees under the influence of the spell. The "Midnight Poet" of Sequence 8 is trying his best to resist the temptation to fall asleep, but the vague human outline has disappeared. trace.

Angel naturally had a way to deal with the special bullets she made. The moment Loretta threw the spell, she decided to avoid conflicts with these acquaintances and left the scene as soon as possible. Then she took advantage of Borgia's injuries and fell to the ground. In seconds, he released his invisibility, threw off his hood and cloak, and threw it aside, eliminating most of the influence of the phantom phosphorescent powder on his body.

Then, before Loretta could react, she jumped directly from the study window, landed on the ground with the help of "lightness", used invisibility again, and left Kaliva before pedestrians on the street noticed it. ·Dupont’s home.

Until this moment, the "nightmare" who had tried to pull her into the dream had not appeared.

"A group of three, led by the 'Nightmare' from Sequence 7, and equipped with a small number of 'Phantom Phosphorus Eruption' bullets... The most important thing is that they are all people I know. This is really unlucky. Could it be the function of the 'lucky' pistol again?"

After quickly hiding in another alley, Angel breathed a sigh of relief and analyzed the situation just now.

"It seems that I was regarded as the main culprit of sending threatening letters by this team of Nighthawks who protect Lily? But they should also lack the corresponding preparations, otherwise the team that would greet me would be at least a Sequence 6 team, and they would even carry sealed artifacts... "

She turned her head and looked outside the alley. The door of Kaliva's house was quiet. Several night watchers had not chased them out. They were probably still searching and guarding inside.

"They did not ride in a carriage. They should have arrived here on foot, and then launched an attack in a hurry. This gave me the opportunity to avoid a head-on conflict."

What puzzled Angel the most was that she immediately came to Kaliva's house after getting the information from Detective Raymond. She didn't even approach Lily Granger's residence on the way. The Nighthawks who had been watching were How did you get "tracked" here?

Unless the Extraordinary behind the scenes who interfered with her divination also misled the Nighthawks, and even deliberately exposed their whereabouts to attract them here.

And the purpose of doing this must be...

"咚咚-"

There was a heavy knock on the door in the living room. Lily Granger quickly adjusted her dress and responded:
"Who is it please?"

The knocking on the door stopped, and then a female voice came from behind the door:

"It's me, the police officer who saw you last time, Loretta."

The door opened, and Loretta appeared at the door of Lily's house. She was not wearing a police uniform, but neutral casual clothes, with a vigilant look on her face.

"Sorry, I just came back from the academy." Perhaps because she had seen this female police officer often, Lily did not show any surprise, but instead invited her into her home with a calm expression.

Loretta sat casually on the sofa next to the bay window. When she saw Lily going to the kitchen to get a coffee cup, she quickly stopped her and asked:

"I'll ask a few questions and then leave. Did you notice anything unusual at school today? For example, someone was following you, or some students or teachers behaved differently than before?"

"No, why do you ask?" Lily returned to the living room, sat across from Loretta, and asked with a frown, "Oh, there is something abnormal. The lecturer who taught us the principles of mechanical power, Mr. Kaliva Dupont, asked for leave. It's been two days, and he's never been like this before." "What kind of person is this Kaliva Dupont?" Loretta asked.

"Well... he is usually very kind. He lectures very carefully and treats students very well. He just doesn't participate in social activities. You can hardly see him after class. He has no pursuit of a position. He has been promoted to associate professor several times. He They all gave up voluntarily.”

Lily's purple eyes looked up, as if she was recalling her professor's past behavior, but what she said were all slightly flattering summaries, which made Loretta shake her head.

"I mean, has he ever done anything special to you, such as paying special attention to you or even harassing you?"

"how come!"

Lily said loudly in surprise, but instantly understood what the other person meant, her eyes widened in shock.

"You mean, M. Dupont?"

"That's right," Loretta nodded, with a serious face, "Your teacher is the one who keeps sending you threatening letters. We even tracked him to his home today and found many threatening letters that have not yet been sent. , the handwriting is also the same as the ones you have received, this is irrefutable proof!”

"But why did he...the teacher do this? He even praised me for being very talented and that I would have the opportunity to stay in school after graduation..."

This female student was obviously hit hard. The respected teacher was actually the culprit who frequently threatened her and made her sleepless and uneasy?

"It's up to you to answer this yourself. What have you done in recent months to make him angry, or at least to misunderstand him?"

Loretta folded her hands and leaned forward. The invisible pressure made Lily panic. Her upper body moved backward until she was pressed against the back of the sofa, unable to stay away from the aggressive police officer.

"I...I haven't delayed my studies recently, and I haven't asked questions that are difficult to answer in class, at least not in his class." She narrowed her eyes, and there was a trace of confusion in her purple eyes, which made Loretta's expression change. , "Maybe it's because of my contact with the student from Intis?"

"What student?" Luo Luota raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Sherick Madan, a boy who was born in Intis but has lived in Backlund for the past few years, is the same age as me and in the same grade," Lily replied, "but he dropped out of school two months ago. , without a trace, no one can contact him... It can’t really be related to Sherrick, it was at that time that I received the threatening letter..."

She spoke faster and faster, as if she was convincing herself, and then suddenly paused.

"It must be that box, the box left by Sherrick!"

She said loudly, as if grasping at straws.

"The box you left behind? Where did you put it?"

Finally hearing the important clue, Loretta sounded a little excited, but Lily looked at her with a puzzled expression and asked:
"Didn't I already leave it to you? I still hope to get the answer from you."

"Sorry, I remembered it wrong...but my colleague is in charge of the box, so I don't know."

Loretta replied with a normal expression. At the same time, she stood up from the sofa, looked out the window, and continued after a moment:
"I will inquire about their progress and notify you immediately if there is any new information. By the way, you should also pay attention to strangers approaching your home recently. Your teacher Kaliva Dupon may have other accomplices. "

"Partner..."

Lily repeated the word, her expression changing, whether it was fear or confusion.

Seeing that Luo Luota had already walked to the door, she quickly caught up and asked:

"If there are no other clues, could you please return Sherrick's box to me? There..."

She suddenly closed her mouth and looked towards the door that had just opened. Loretta was also looking in that direction.

Outside the gate, at the corner of the street, a figure walked slowly.

It was another Lily Granger with long blond hair but dressed completely differently.
