Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 608 Sewer Beauty

Late at night, a sneaky figure carrying a small basket climbed over the outer wall of No. 160 Burklund Street. He bent down and walked through the shadows between the walls. He soon came to the entrance of the nearby sewer and carefully moved it away. Manhole cover, drilled in, and easily restored the cover.

High up in the house, Klein frowned and opened the gap in the curtains, watching his butler Walter, wearing a tuxedo, doing all this with agility, feeling as if he was watching a drama.

Just two days ago, after he attended Congressman Macht's ball, the Congressman's daughter, the arrogant and inhumane Hazel Macht, got into the sewer from the other side of the street in almost the same posture, and performed the intricate underground work. "Late Night Adventure".

They are very skilled in getting into sewers. Unlike me, with my current status and wearing an expensive custom-made dress, I will never go in...

He secretly laughed at his nouveau riche mentality, then picked up the cigarette box containing the "Blood Admiral" marionette gold coins from the bedside table, released the "revenge spirit", and controlled him to jump to the glass of the street lamp next to the sewer. Face, and then took advantage of his lack of form to get into the sewer, silently following Walter.

At the same time, Klein used two lines to move his body closer to the sewer, ensuring that Senior's resentful spirit would not be more than 100 meters away from him, so as not to lose this precious marionette.

During this period, he was surprised to find that Hazel slipped out of his house late at night and got into the sewer through another entrance, and was about to run into the sneaky Walter. As a last resort, he could only use the resentful spirit to "possess" the girl who possessed the "Stealer" magical item, ignored her struggle and self-rescue efforts, and "sent her back" to Representative Macht's house.

"It's almost over 100 meters. If that's the case, in order to avoid losing the marionette, I can only use the flame jump to leave the bedroom and come to the street. That violates the rules of the 'Maritime Master' and puts me behind the scenes. People are exposed..."

Klein muttered silently, watching Hazel wander around the door of his house in fear, trying to find the person possessing her. Finally, with tears in his eyes, he turned back to his home along the same path, and then calmly controlled the "resentful soul" to sink into the house. Underground, return to Walter's location.

"He will return to the manor in the suburbs tomorrow. There must be extraordinary guards there. Today is the best opportunity."

During this delay, his housekeeper had already arrived at a dark and secluded sewer branch and started talking to someone in a low voice:

"Go back quickly. Don't let your new employer discover it. Strange Beyonders often come and go in this sewer. It is safer than the ground. I will hide for one or two days and leave after recovering."

Klein, who was hiding in the dark, quickly understood everything based on these conversations and his own guesses.

"William is stronger than I thought. He is Sequence 5, and he also has a magical item that can restrain me. This is in line with his secret identity, and it is also the reason why he dares to come to the city alone. Fortunately, I still solved him , got the key clues...

After handing the basket to the woman in the shadow in the corner, Walter warned again:

The female voice chuckled and said with emotion:
"He had so many subordinates and friends when he was alive, but after his death, only a few were willing to take risks for him."

"Then why are you still injured? Why don't you even dare to go back to your place of residence?"

Then, the identity of this woman can be confirmed based on the content of Angel's letter...

"What's going on? The police came here in the afternoon and questioned people who had been in contact with William Sykes. They said that he died in a hotel in the West End. It was a murder... Didn't you mean to make a careful plan and complete this quietly? Everything?"

Those were the Dixie pie and sweet ice tea that I asked the chef to make in the afternoon... He opened his mouth slightly in the bedroom, and Senior, who was in the state of resentment, also had the same reaction.

"As a royal noble, he can treat me sincerely, and I am willing to remain loyal to him."

Walter was silent for a moment, nodded, and handed over the basket he had been carrying. Klein saw that there were several flat objects wrapped in paper and a cup with a lid inside.

In the shadow deep in the fork in the road, just within the 100-meter control range of the "Secret Puppet", a weak, hoarse female voice came out:

"I will continue to send you some food tomorrow so you can recover in peace. If you leave due to an accident, use the old method to contact me."

Walter’s voice was full of worry.

Klein controlled Senior to approach the shadow in the state of a resentful spirit, and stopped at the edge of his control range. Sure enough, he saw a person wearing a black dress sitting in the corner, with his shoulders simply bandaged but still bleeding. A woman with a pale face.

William Sykes once served the dead Prince Edsac, and in order to investigate the truth about the prince's death, the mysterious woman took the risk to contact William, and was injured as a result, hiding in the sewers. Walter also He is a member of this "investigation team", but he does not participate in direct affairs, but openly inquires about information and provides help.

The female voice replied intermittently:

Walter replied in a muffled voice, then turned around and left along the original road.

Her chin was slightly rounded and her face was extremely beautiful. It was Trischik who almost killed him in Tingen City, hid in Backlund, and finally escaped in front of the heavy smog!

If he suddenly saw this woman who was likely to be connected to the "Original Witch", Klein might be so frightened that he would recall the marionette directly. However, with Angel's previous reminder, he now only felt that it was "reasonable".

At the same time, Triss's slender eyes looked here, as if she saw the invisible "Grudge" Senior, she chuckled and said: "After looking at it for so long, it should appear, right?"

Did she find me?
Klein's heart skipped a beat, but he thought that the witch had spiritual intuition no less than that of a diviner, and the person in front of him was "Chick", so there was little point in continuing to hide, so he appeared directly and replied in a cold tone:

"Since you discovered me a long time ago, why didn't you point it out before that man left?"

"If you have malicious intentions, leaving him will only result in the death of one more person. Would Mr. Senior Blood Admiral be worried about an ordinary person?"

"you know me?"

When Controlling Senior asked in surprise, Klein was also thinking about how to "deal with" this witch with bloody hands next.

He has not forgotten the tragedy of the Alfalfa, nor the series of deaths in Tingen City.

But at this time, Triss is focusing on the truth about the death of Prince Edsac because of some deep feelings, and this incident will inevitably lead to the secret behind the "Great Smog" and the unknown person. royal faction. From this point of view, Triss can be regarded as his and Angel's "demining soldier", and she is still a voluntary kind.

Since Angel is involved in this matter, let her decide... As soon as Klein made his decision, he heard Triss continue:

"Of course, I have also traveled on the sea, and recently I have been paying attention to the news about pirate generals."

If you really pay attention, you should know that "I" have died at the hands of a crazy adventurer... Klein chuckled secretly and tried his best to play the role of a "ruthless but talkative" pirate general, without answering.

Seeing him like this, Triss moved in the corner, put one hand into her clothes, and pulled the skirt of her clothes with the other hand, as if she wanted to cover her bare shoulders, but she inadvertently exuded the charm of a witch, with her dark eyes and weak expression.

It's a pity that in front of you is just a dead "secret puppet", which is equivalent to showing your charming eyes to a blind man...

"Put it away, or do you want me to 'kill' you now?"

"Senior" said coldly, completely unmoved.

In the senses shared by Klein and Marionette, the sewer space next to Triss is covered with countless invisible threads, like a huge spider web. The nearby water slowly freezes, forming mirrors of different sizes. Wearing a black dress, she sat among the spider webs, like a poisonous spider waiting for its prey to fall into its web.

"Then let's do it, Mr. Senior, or do you think that for a witch like me who is in such a desperate state, someone will come to...save me...?"

Triss's tone became increasingly sad, as if she had really given up her struggle.

"I don't mind having one more witch's extraordinary characteristics in my collection, but I'm also a little interested in what you just said. If the information you provide is valuable enough, maybe I will spare your life."

Although you don’t tell me now, I will learn everything from Angel’s letter in two days, but I don’t know what other secrets there are about this woman, such as how she became the container of the “Original Witch”, such as her “investigation team” Who else are in...

Klein was leisurely waiting for Triss's answer. Was he appearing in marionette form at this time, or was he a marionette that could turn into a resentful soul at any time? He could advance, attack, retreat and report. Naturally, he was not afraid of an injured witch.

Triss seemed to have the same judgment. She waved her hand and retracted the invisible spider silk, leaving only the frozen puddles. A faint smile appeared on her face again:
"If you are willing to listen, I can tell you everything, including the secret of the death of Prince Edsac Augustus and the strife between the royal family members, but first..."

Her smile became more and more obvious, causing Klein behind the marionette to frown, and there was a vague premonition in his heart.

"...First of all, you have no way to escape!"

The moment her voice suddenly rose, a spot in the sewer had already condensed. The ice surface, which was smooth enough to reflect reflections, became dark and deep. There were countless reflections inside, as if it had become a passage to another world.

And a graceful figure emerged from the ice, first outlined, then filled with color, and finally his familiar yet unfamiliar black hair, purple eyes, and faint smile.

"That's him, the pirate general worth 4 pounds!"

As if she was complaining to her parents, Triss's eager and gloating words echoed in the sewer.

And Angel emerged from the mirror world, and "Blood Admiral" Senior, who wore an old three-cornered hat and a dark red coat with an expressionless face, looked at me and I looked at you, speechless for a moment. .
