Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 526 The Mysterious Sea
Backlund, Joe Wood District, Rice Police Division.

Leonard Mitchell picked up the folder on the table, buttoned his police uniform, and said to an inspector beside him who looked at him warily:

"Please give me ten minutes, thank you."

He had just finished an Extraordinary theft case in Backlund and was about to get involved in the Constant serial murder case. He could only spare this morning to complete his "private affairs", so he did not hesitate to use some of his personal relationships to contact Joined the "punisher" in charge of Joe Wood District.

The face of the "punisher" in police uniform was full of reluctance, but in the end he nodded and pointed to the conversation room next door.

"We'll keep an eye on you."

Ignoring his stinging reply, Leonard pushed open the door and walked into the conversation room. He locked the door with his backhand and walked over to sit down at a large wooden table.

Opposite him, a girl of about sixteen years old, wearing a black dress, brown hair and black eyes, sat expressionless. Only when Leonard pulled up his seat and made a sound, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes were subconscious. Look this way.

"Hello, Emily O'Neill, I'm Senior Inspector Mitchell and I have a few questions for you."

Squeezing out a warm smile, Leonard said softly.

But all this was in vain. The sky above the "Future" was like a lamp upside down on the sea, emitting blazing light evenly, making her seem to be at noon.

"The long black hair... the face is still blurry, but it is not disguised by extraordinary means, but it makes Emily forget her appearance faster than usual... Could it be the 'audience'? Old man, you said before, Be careful with the 'audience', is that why?"

In April, Backlund had taken off his cold coat, and the green plants on the roadside were once again covered with spring makeup, but Leonard had no time to appreciate it. He frowned, recalling the appearance of the woman he had just seen.

Leonard's voice was like a whisper, low and unreal, inducing the girl in front of him.

"Get closer, get closer, you should remember her appearance, but you just don't want to recall that past."

Squinting his eyes and looking above his head, Angel tried to find traces of the "sun" in this sky that seemed to be burning.

Emily murmured in reply, and the noise she heard when she escaped from the basement that morning seemed to appear beside her. It was the cries and pleas for help of other kidnapped girls, and it was the crackling sound of the flames burning the building. That was the exclamation of the people who were attracted to the streets by the explosion and smoke.

His soft tone, handsome expression and friendly smile finally moved the girl's heart. The corners of the latter's mouth moved and curved upward slightly, finally no longer keeping a straight face.

Leonard also heard these rustling sounds. He leaned forward, put his hands on the table, and continued to ask:
"Who was standing on the roof at that time?"

……

Raising his head, Leonard glanced at the sun above his head with disgust. Leonard missed the coldness and tranquility of the night.

"...Do you remember that villa in Jowood District?"

Unfortunately, he was leaving for Constantinople today, so his investigation could only come to an end temporarily... He glanced at the sun again, chuckled, boarded the carriage belonging to the "Nighthawk" and left.

"Remember……"

If the "Punisher" hadn't been keeping an eye on Emily, the victim, he might have been able to directly enter the victim's dream at night and obtain more accurate and detailed information.

Knowing that the punisher who felt sorry for the girl who had become an orphan in the "Kapin Kidnapping Case" and tried his best to help her make up for her pain was eavesdropping next door, Leonard did not immediately ask the question he was most concerned about. Start by asking about small things in life, and try to avoid content involving the other person’s parents.

After a while, Leonard, who was forcibly terminated from questioning, walked out of the police station and stood on the street under the bright sun.

When he came to the important question, Leonard exhaled softly, and the gas light in the room quietly dimmed, and the remaining light surrounded Emily, making her feel like she was in a hazy, illusory dream.

He tilted his head and muttered quietly, but got no reply from the voice in his head.

----

Countless people raised their heads appeared in the surrounding darkness. Emily looked up with their gazes. There was the half-collapsed villa. Standing at the top of the attic was a tall figure with a blurred face and long hair fluttering in the wind. .

And it was midday when there was no shade to hide in.

If "Moon" Emlyn were here, he would be eager to find a hole in the ground to crawl into... She thought, lowered her gaze, and circled around. She was a little disappointed to find that the surrounding environment was different from the one she entered this mysterious sea an hour ago. The same, the sea water was full of feeble waves, the sun from the sky illuminated every inch of the sea surface equally, and except for the "Future", not even a sampan was seen.

Of course, the only change is that the ruins in the direction of the ship's bow are slightly closer than before.

"Are we going to explore the ruins later?"

She cast her gaze to her side. "Star Admiral" Cattleya was wearing the black robe that seemed to remain unchanged forever. She looked solemnly at the distant place, which was composed of gray stone pillars and domes, as if they were the ruins at the top of a certain palace.

"No, we will bypass it. The main purpose of this trip is to find mermaids. Other than that, try not to come into contact with other things."

Cattleya replied. "Because of danger?"

On the other side, Klein took over and asked.

With a chuckle, the pirate general replied in a sighing tone:
“Not only is it dangerous, it’s pointless.

“This sea area not only contains countless ruins, but also a variety of powerful monsters, even ancient creatures that are difficult to discover by the outside world, and out-of-control demigods.

"Sounds like a hunting ground for extraordinary materials and properties? But unfortunately, most of these powerful monsters are not real. They can easily kill us and destroy our ships, but after killing them, they will not Leave behind any useful material.”

"Are they the monsters in dreams?" Angel guessed.

"No, they all have real body shapes. They just disappear after being killed. She said that is a 'fantasy'."

she?
Angel caught the word and quickly found the corresponding person in his memory.

"The Mysterious Queen", the only woman among the Pirate Kings, was also the powerful pirate who was once followed by the "Star Admiral". It was rumored that the two finally broke up, and then Cattleya formed a team herself and quickly squeezed into the Pirate General. The process of joining the ranks seems to mean proving oneself to one's former boss.

It seems that she has explored this sea area with the "Mysterious Queen". No wonder she knows how to get here safely and is well aware of the dangers of this sea area.

"The mermaids in this sea area are also 'fantasy', right?"

Klein suddenly asked. The potion in his body was almost completely digested and only needed one deliberate act. The method to eliminate the pollution of the "Total Black Eye" has been prepared, and they are just waiting to find a living mermaid and advance to the next sequence.

"They are real creatures that came here from normal seas, not monsters that disappear after death. Moreover, I guess you are not looking for mermaids to use them as extraordinary materials, right?"

Cattleya glanced at Klein, with a smile that understood everything.

She guessed that I was going to use the mermaid as a promotion ceremony... Klein's heart trembled, and he gained another understanding of the "Star Admiral"'s knowledge and information channels.

Of course, since Tracy had reported the "faceless man" ability, and he had purchased potion materials from "Hermit" Cattleya, he knew very well that his potion sequence could not be concealed from the other party. Fortunately, as long as After completing the role and promotion, the identity of "Gehrman Sparrow" no longer needs to be retained...

While thinking about it, the "Future" bypassed the ruins in front of it. As Cattleya said, it did not have the slightest idea of ​​getting closer. Instead, it changed direction and continued to move forward.

Soon, in the seemingly endless dazzling sunlight, a more shining point of light appeared, like another, or the only sun hanging in the sky.

As the ship moved forward, the light spot gradually grew larger, revealing its true appearance in everyone's eyes. It was a small island supported by four magnificent diamond pillars and floating nearly a thousand meters high above the sea. The soil above was scorched black, as if it had been burned repeatedly by fire. From the depths of the island, light was emerging that was brighter than the "Scorching Sun Dome" above the head.

Suddenly, an animal roar came from the island.

The monster is coming?
Angel touched the revolver on his waist with one hand, and lowered his other hand to let the "Knight Bracelet" slip off his wrist. He looked at Klein and found that he also had a solemn look on his face and entered a fighting state.

Cattleya, who was between the two of them, did not prepare to face the enemy, but walked towards the center of the deck with a serious face.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-"

There was a sound of intensive galloping horses, and two horses appeared on the roaring island in the sky. Behind them, they dragged a chariot that seemed to be made of gold. Both the horses and the chariot dragged long flames and jumped from the edge of the island. Then, stepping on the invisible passage in the air, he ran towards this side.

"Everyone, lower your heads and don't look at the sky!"

Cattleya stood in the center of the deck and said. Her voice was not loud, but somehow it reached every corner of the "Future" and entered the ears of every pirate.

Angel, who wanted to squint his eyes and carefully study whether the golden chariot was made of pure gold, heard this and lowered his head obediently, looked at his feet, and studied the shape of the leather boots.

In this sea area, the "Star Admiral" is the authority.

Almost instantly, the golden chariot arrived above the "Future". Its scorching flames cast a brighter light than the sun on the deck, and even caused a faint shadow to appear under everyone's feet.

Watching the shadow extend from behind to in front of her, and then disappear, the burning heat in her neck slowly receded, and Cattleya's voice came again:

"Danger averted."

So, what exactly is the danger?
Angel raised his head again and subconsciously looked in the direction of the flames. He found that the priceless golden chariot had disappeared without a trace, and he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

Immediately, she discovered that only a few meters away from her, there were two footprints that were as black as the surface of the island in the sky, and there seemed to be wisps of fly ash floating in the air.

There was a pirate standing there just now!
If I hadn't bowed my head, I would have been burned to ashes like him, and maybe the magic mirror substitute wouldn't even have time to use it... She glanced at the indifferent Cattleya with lingering fear, who also stared at the pair of footprints and sighed softly. With a sound, he said to Nina, the boatswain next to him who also just raised his head:
"Take his name and... move on."
