Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 596 The first "battle"

Mr. X...Mr. A?

Another similar name immediately popped up in Xio's mind. The latter had organized similar gatherings in Backlund's West End. She attended them from time to time and bought a lot of potion materials there and helped her. Noble friends asked for formulas and bought extraordinary materials on their behalf.

Of course, this party had already been destroyed by the city-wide martial law and manhunt due to the assassination of Duke Negan at the end of last year.

It is said that the party was related to the evil organization "Aurora Society". Could it be that Mr. X, the organizer of this small party in the East District, also has the same identity?

After becoming a peripheral member of MI9, Xio was very sensitive to similar situations. She knew how many bad things the "Aurora Society" had done as a secret evil organization, and she knew that leaving these lunatics alone would soon lead to a tragedy. Therefore, The first thought in my mind was to turn around and leave, reporting to my superiors or other Orthodox Churches.

Of course, it is also very possible that this nickname was just coined by some ignorant extraordinary people to "take advantage of the popularity". They either did not know the dangers of the "Aurora Society", or they knew it but wanted to take advantage of this reputation, so they chose to join forces with them. Mr. A, who has been identified as the divine envoy of the Aurora Society, has a similar name, attracting wild extraordinary people to participate in the party, and quickly gain fame.

If this is the case, Xio, who has experienced the difficult survival of wild Extraordinary people, would not want to report the other person so as not to hurt innocent people.

Go take a look first and attend a few gatherings. If you are sure it is related to the Aurora Society, then report it. And even if "Mr. Entering the door with eyes.

----

"Did you kill your 'other self' in that strange dream?"

"Another characteristic is that they are perfect mirror images of themselves in reality. The position of their internal organs is opposite, and their dominant hands are inconsistent... Of course, this is not difficult for extraordinary people to hide, and you can't cut everyone open to see See if the heart is on the right side.

"Yes, I'm sure she has all my extraordinary abilities, carries all my magical items, and her fighting level is on par... After her death, she didn't have any extraordinary characteristics, and she didn't even leave a body, only this..."

she asked with some distress.

Laura didn't show any surprise when she saw her magic-like performance. Apparently, her mother Catalina also often used this ability.

After listening to Angel's story, Laura's serious expression softened slightly and she concluded.

Dominant hand, location of internal organs... This cannot be confirmed. Even if my dominant hand is my right hand, I can easily use my left hand to swing a sword in battle. Extraordinary people should be able to do it with a little practice... Angel carefully noted down Laura The so-called "man in the mirror" characteristics, but found it difficult to tell whether Pierce in the church is a fake based on these.

She took the mirror fragment, gently stroked the surface as if painted black, nodded in confirmation, and said:
"Yes, she is your 'person in the mirror'. Leaving such mirror fragments after death is one of the characteristics. Of course, not everyone has it. It is said that in rare cases, the 'person in the mirror' who dies 'Even extraordinary characteristics will be released, which may be related to the fact that he has completely replaced the real world's body...

Angel replied, reaching out to grab it in the air, and a dark, irregularly shaped mirror fragment appeared in her hand.

Of course, she still avoided putting cash or magical items in it to avoid huge losses due to the instability of the space.

If there is a lack of conclusive evidence, even if a public report is made and there is an on-the-spot confrontation, the outcome will be difficult to predict.

As if she had opened a chat box, Laura said a lot in one breath.

Especially this "Pierce" prayed seriously during the Moon Mass and ate the Holy Eucharist devoutly, just like a true believer. If he is indeed the "man in the mirror", it can only mean that he has fully integrated into his own identity. Distinguish between true and false.

"The Witch Sect, um, I mean the 'branch' to which your mother belongs. How do they identify the people in the mirror and how do they deal with them?"

"In addition to the crazy hatred for the copied person and the desire to replace him immediately, the memory and habits of the 'man in the mirror' are also the same as the 'original'. Therefore, after replacing the other party with killing, the man in the mirror can usually lurk perfectly. Even close people can't tell. I don't know their ultimate purpose yet, but based on your description, the senior deacon of the Church of the Night Goddess is probably such a 'man in the mirror.'

This is a manifestation of her ability to use the magic mirror to open up her own "mirror world". After putting the useless revolver in it for a week, Angel found that it was not lost and there were no other problems, so she began to use it to a limited extent. In this "portable space", you can carry some items that are not very important but are not convenient to carry on your body.

"I will try to ask her for you..." Laura chuckled and returned the mirror fragment to Angel, "But I don't think you need to be too anxious. The other party is hiding inside the church and obviously has an agenda. You If you don't take the initiative to provoke him, he will definitely not take action against you in the short term... Moreover, the 'man in the mirror' problem mainly occurs in Trier in Intis. There is no similar problem in Backlund. Maybe one day , he just escaped on his own?"

Trier has a lot of "man in the mirror" problems?

Angel raised his eyebrows, and just as he was about to ask why, he suddenly pieced together several scattered clues in his mind:
Pierce Turner lost control on the island of Para, and his man in the mirror appeared. At the same time, a murderous ritual incident similar to that of Bansi Port occurred on the nearby island of Sorna, and Bansi Port could contact Trier through sacrificial rituals. The Catacombs of... Finally, there are many "Mirror Men" appearing in Trier!
Could it be that these different events are all caused by the same force...

And this power is the reason why I can use the "Disaster" and "Betrayal" spells, and can freely shuttle between different sacrificial runes?
Until Laura Swan left, the sky dimmed and night fell, Angel still had this thought lingering in his mind.

----

It was another Saturday, after nightfall, Angel took the four-wheeled high-end carriage from Hillston District to Burklund Street in the North District, and arrived at the home of MP Maury Macht, No. 39, Member of the House of Commons.

Compared to Angel's 300-pound-a-year residence, the congressman's home is obviously more luxurious. Facing the double carved iron doors is the fountain pool in the center of the garden. The large gas lamps on both sides spread bright light into the sky under the action of lenses. Splashes of water create a dreamy atmosphere.

The three-story large residence at the rear was brightly lit, and male and female guests continued to enter, and low-pitched conversations gathered together, making it lively but not noisy.

This should be what Laura said, the "high-end residence" with a rent of thousands of pounds a year... Angel looked at the scene in front of him dumbfounded, feeling that compared to the ones she had attended, the ball hosted by Prince Edsac was not as good as the one she had attended. Don't give in too much.

Of course, there should still be some differences between the interior decoration and the scale of the ball. At least it must look different from the royal family's ball. Otherwise, it is easy to spread negative news about the congressman's extravagance and waste.

Angel, who had accumulated relevant knowledge in the past few days, naturally had such thoughts in her mind. She laughed secretly at her adaptability and took careful steps to avoid stepping on the lace skirt that almost touched the ground. With Elsa's help, he walked into the ball hall.

Buck, the butler, was holding a bottle of 1332 Ormere red wine with a red ribbon tied around the neck, and followed Angel step by step.

Beside the gate, Mori Macht and his wife, Ms. Liana, who were wearing olive green military uniforms, had just finished greeting the previous guest and walked over. They saw that they were wearing low-cut strapless dresses and had their makeup done. Angel, who was wearing light makeup, was stunned for a moment.

It wasn't until Riback, holding a wine bottle, came between the three of them that Congressman Macht woke up from a dream, smiled to himself and said:

"You must be Miss Christine Theresa. When I heard Vincent's introduction, I thought he was exaggerating, but the first time I saw you, I knew what he said was still too conservative."

"Maybe this is Luen's implicitness."

Angel responded with a smile, slightly restrained the charm of the witch, and turned his head to signal Riback to hand over the red wine as a gift.

During this period, she almost raised her right hand and asked the other party to kiss the hand as required in "Aristocratic Etiquette". Fortunately, at the last moment, she thought that this was the behavior of a married woman, so she didn't make a joke.

Of course, harmless little mistakes can deepen the prom host's impression of her and attract the attention of other guests. They are tips for quickly integrating into the circle - this was Laura's suggestion to her before the prom, the bottle of Indy as a gift. Sri Lankan red wine is selected under the guidance of this technique.

Normally, it is etiquette when attending someone's banquet or dance for the first time, and the first choice is domestic wine. Angel specially chose Ormir red wine from Intis, taking advantage of this. This mistake made Congressman Macht remember himself quickly, and the price of nearly a hundred pounds of 1332 red wine made the problem of choosing the wrong type less important.

Sure enough, Congressman Macht took the red wine and subconsciously glanced at the label. A hint of surprise flashed in his brown eyes. Then he smiled, handed the wine to the valet beside him, nodded and said:
"I heard that you returned from Intis not long ago. I wonder if you have adapted to life here?"

"The air in Backlund impressed me deeply. When I left a few years ago, the sun here could not be seen for more than a few days throughout the year."

"I'm honored to satisfy you."

Macht's smile was uncontrollable. He took the initiative to guide Angel through the porch and into the hall. His wife, who was also smiling, followed behind.

According to prior understanding, this gentleman who entered politics after retiring and became a member of the House of Commons was committed to promoting the Air Pollution Management Bill and made important contributions to environmental protection. Angel's compliment was equivalent to commending his achievements.

Being praised by a young and beautiful guest who had just returned from the country made Macht feel a little more energetic when he walked. The three of them soon met the eyes of many guests and entered the ball hall filled with melodious music.

Amidst the gazes that were either stunning, or admiring, or contained naked emotions, Angel's chest tightened a little, but his steps were firm and steady.

But no one heard the emotion in her mind:
I never expected that my first "battle" when I returned to Backlund would be at a social dance.
