Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 347 Stress and motivation

"No, there are no new clues."

After forcing down the mouthful of shortbread, Angel pretended to be calm and replied.

"Well, you continue to pay attention to them. In addition, also look for some guys whose symbols are Tarot cards, such as 'Judgment' and 'The Hanged Man.' Sprinkle the tarot cards, do you remember 'Ms.

When Angel first heard "Tarot Cards", he almost thought that the Happy Witch already knew the relationship between Mr. Fool and the Tarot Club. But after Servilia finished speaking, she realized that they were two completely different things. Task.

The search for people who believe in "The Fool" should be revealed to the Witch Sect by the Aurora Society. The search for "Judgment" and "The Hanged Man" this time is because the death scenes of Heras and Barron were dropped from the tower by me. The reason for Luo cards...

It seems that the military, Prince Edsac, the Witch Sect, and the Aurora Society have all cooperated without any scruples. Even if someone from the military dies in the East District, the Witch Sect will help find clues...

Angel speculated.

In any case, she would not investigate herself, and Sherman was already under Angel's jurisdiction and had no chance to report beyond the level. What's more, he didn't see Angel scattering the tarot cards. At best, he only knew that he was involved in the Witch Sect. Just a small action...

She agreed casually, and even tried to muddy the waters:
"The Aurora Society recently assassinated Duke Negan of the Kingdom, so that Mr. A's meeting place was inspected by the official Beyonders and the military. A friend of Audrey revealed that the military's MI[-] has been looking for 'Tower Clues from Luo Pai's organization, could the whole thing be related to Ms. D's death?"

A little confused by this nonsense, Servilia looked at Angel with wide eyes. After a while, she regained her composure, shook her head with a strange expression, and replied:

"You may not believe it, but this time the Aurora Society is really innocent."

……

When Angel left Baron Langdon's mansion, the sky had darkened, and the moonlight was scattered by the haze of Backlund, giving half of it a penetrating crimson color, shrouding the sparsely populated West End in a strange atmosphere.

Sitting on the hired carriage, Angel looked back with some worry. Servilia's house was shrinking in her field of vision, but the "Lady Desperate" weighing on her heart was getting bigger and bigger as December approached.

Although the "Secret Holy Emblem" provided by Ms. Arianna was surprisingly effective, allowing her true identity to be never discovered through divination and other occult methods during her months in Backlund, no one can guarantee that the secret effect will work. It comes into play when facing a Sequence 4, a demigod.

As long as Ms. Despair sees that something is amiss, that Sequence 6 is a witch of the same path as Sequence 4, she may not even have a chance to escape.

Where is Mr. Fool’s angelic protection?
It can be seen from Audrey's experience that the protection of angels can indeed effectively prevent the prying eyes of official extraordinary people, but that's all. If Mr. Fool can really protect all Tarot Society members, then what will happen to Audrey? When Ms. D arrives, she doesn’t need me to buy time to escape...

I'm afraid I can only rely on myself for this level of "Lady Despair"... Angel sighed.

Her desire to strengthen her strength and advance to the rank has never been stronger.

According to her past experience, even if she cannot be promoted to a higher order, as long as she digests the magic potion of this order, her mastery of various extraordinary abilities can be greatly improved. The abilities of extraordinary people who digest "joy" are completely different.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but stroke the "Crazy Ring" on her finger.

"Please turn left at the next intersection and go to Minsk Street in the Jowood District."

After hesitating for a moment, Angel made up his mind and said to the driver of the hired carriage.

----

Late at night, the night watcher stationed under St. Samuel's Church.

Several Nighthawks were rummaging through piles of files in the data room in high spirits, searching for anything related to "Demon Summoning".This period of time is when the "Sleepless People" are most energetic, but one of them is an exception.

Daly Simone yawned and passed the files to other Nighthawks, but the one in front of her had not been turned over for a long time.

"boom--"

The door was pushed open, and two men in windbreakers walked into the data room one after another. After seeing the leader clearly, they stopped their movements and said hello:
"Captain!" Sost, the captain of the "Red Gloves" team, nodded as an answer, and then went straight to Dai Li, who was sitting in the corner. Behind him was Leonard Mitchell, the new member of Sost. The squad's red gloves.

"Daly, do you have anything new to gain?"

Sitting on the chair opposite Daly, Sostre took off his gloves and stuffed them into his pockets, and asked after taking off his trademark flamboyant top hat.

"Most of them are cases from decades ago. Some have been solved, and some are still unsolved. The perpetrators are probably deceased."

The "Necromancer" with thick eyeshadow pushed away the document in front of him, replied, and then turned his gaze to Leonard standing aside:
"Leonard, if I were stupid, I would have left this guy's team as soon as possible. It has been a month since you returned to Backlund with him. 'Tarot Cards', 'The Fool', and now there are traces of summoning demons. The case has been accepted. Quite a few, have you solved any of them?"

"Captain Sostre has been diligently investigating leads."

Leonard pursed his lips and replied, his expression calm, and it was impossible to tell what he really thought.

"'Captain Sost'..."

Dai Li was a little touched, and the subsequent sarcasm stuck in her mouth.

Several other Nighthawks did not dare to utter a word, their eyes fixed on the documents in their hands. For a while, there was only the sound of paper turning in the data room, until Sost smiled himself and said:

"You're right, Daly, I have a lot of cases on hand, and they can't be solved at the first time, but I'm not here this time to continue looking for clues, but something new has happened. Maybe it has something to do with Tingen’s team.”

Dai Li's eyes were instantly locked on his face.

"Three months ago, after the Tingen massacre, Backlund's Nighthawks received the task of protecting Angel Granger's cousin, Lily Granger. They helped the target change his place of residence and rented a hotel in Lisheng Samuel's Church nearer the house, and used occult means to guard against general curses, divination."

Sost's deep voice echoed in the data room.

"Two months ago, Miss Granger began to receive threatening letters directly to her home. The contents were all general verbal threats. After investigation, we identified the suspect. He was her teacher from Backlund Technical College. Kaliva Dupont. Due to the lack of motive for committing the crime and his strange behavior, we did not arrest him. Instead, we continued to send more nightwatchers to follow him, hoping to identify the mastermind behind the crime.

"Until the day before yesterday, Kaliva suddenly disappeared after sending the last threatening letter. Even divination methods could not find his whereabouts. Then, the Al Hassan team protecting Lily's family found that Kaliva appeared nearby again and followed him. The other party came to his house, but encountered a female Beyonder, and allowed the other party to escape after a brief battle."

"Escaped? Is the other party very strong?"

Dai Li asked in confusion.

"She may have strength above Sequence 6. Al Hassan's attempt to pull her into the dreamland failed. But when Lorota and Borgia in the same team surrounded her, the other party just quickly broke away from the contact and did not He seems to have some scruples about hurting them.

"Then the strangest thing came. When the Al Hassan team rushed back to Lily's house, the student who was still studying at the Technical College had just come home from school, but she found Loretta and another version of herself standing at the door of her house. If Al hadn't confirmed the authenticity of this incident by falling into a dream, he would have almost thought that this girl was talking nonsense."

"Both of them are fake? Do they have some way to change their appearance, or a magical item?"

Leonard asked curiously. He was also called here by Sost on the way. He had not learned about the encounter of Al Hassen's team before.

"To be precise, this is a potion sequence, the Sequence 6 of the 'Soothsayer', known as 'faceless men'. As you can tell from the name of the potion, they can transform into various different appearances. Fixed face." Sost replied with a smile, "These information have not been distributed to teams everywhere, so it is normal for you not to understand."

"Extraordinaries who can change their appearance at will and disguise themselves as others. This is very important information. Why is it only kept in Backlund?"

A night watcher next to him, who pretended to be looking up information but was actually listening attentively, asked.

"The confidentiality level of this information is not high, but it involves a difficult organization. You may have heard of one of its names, called the 'Secret Order'," the Red Gloves captain said pretending to be mysterious, "but the other name is , or the full name of the organization that absorbed the 'Secret Order', is the Eighth Bureau of the Intelligence and Homeland Security Committee of the Republic of Intis, referred to as the 'Eighth Bureau'. In the Kingdom of Loen, it can be said to be a complete organization. A complete spy agency."
