Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 609 "Misunderstanding" is resolved

Angel hurried from the "Mirror World" to the location of Triss's magic mirror, and soon found that the other party had already prepared the ice surface needed for him to appear.

Her spirituality did not warn of danger, so the person who attacked Triss was most likely not a demigod, but just a Sequence 5 Extraordinary. Of course, after being injured during the day, it was normal for Triss to be unable to deal with an Extraordinary of the same sequence, so Only then would he ask her for help.

Thinking of this, Angel got out of the mirror, looked around, and confirmed that he was in the Backlund sewer that he was very familiar with half a year ago. It had been expanded several times after the great plague more than ten years ago, forming a vertical and horizontal sewer. The main roads and various branches of the city are like an independent underground world.

Triss was sitting deep in the fork of the main road. Her face was still pale, but it had improved a lot compared to the day. About 10 meters away in front of her, stood a man wearing a dark red coat and a triangle on his head. A man wearing a captain's hat and a face that was paler than Tris's. The light brown eyes in the sunken eye sockets were looking at Angel intently.

This, isn't this the "Blood Admiral" Senior who has become Klein's secret puppet... Angel almost laughed out loud. She turned her head to look at the "Pain" Witch who used the magic mirror to secretly ask for help. His eyes were filled with joy at the arrival of support, and he pointed to the "Wraithful Soul" in front of him and said with a smile:
"That's him, the pirate general worth 4 pounds!"

Actually it’s £43000…

Angel turned his attention back to the marionette controlled by Klein. The latter's face was expressionless, but his eyes conveyed the deep doubts of the "marionette master".

——Why did her expression change suddenly as if she was summoning a savior, but it was you who came?

This brief silence finally made Triss realize something was wrong. The smile on her lips disappeared, and her eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, finally stopping on the "Despair" witch with her back turned to her.

She secretly leaned behind Angel.

Why does he feel like a parent helping his children? Fortunately, his opponent is also an old acquaintance... Angel finally couldn't hold back a chuckle and said:

"What's going on? Aren't you hiding to recuperate? How could you mess with this 'Blood Admiral'?"

She looked at Triss behind her, motioning for the other party to answer, and at the same time relaxed her whole body, allowing the tense atmosphere around her to ease.

"I didn't dare to go back to my residence in the East District, so I simply hid in the sewers of the North District. I thought it was a quiet hiding place, but I didn't expect it to be more lively than the market in the middle of the night. There were curious girls, enthusiastic housekeepers, mysterious resentful spirits, and me. This injured witch..."

Triss laughed from her throat and replied. Since Angel appeared, she no longer pretends to be weak, but has resumed her daytime flamboyance. This has allowed her witch charm to fully shine through, making her even more eye-catching than Angel, who often hides her attractiveness.

Isn’t it really because you have a trouble-making constitution? There was a lot of commotion in Tingen, but when I came to Backlund, I became a vessel for the gods to descend. I could even hide near the marionette master's house by getting into the sewers...

Angel opened his mouth, but in the end he did not stimulate Triss's fragile mind. He turned to look at Senior and asked:

"What about you? Why did you get into the sewer in the middle of the night?"

Her unpretentious tone immediately made Triss frown, and then relaxed.

"Blood Admiral" Secret Puppet replied expressionlessly:

"I was passing by. I thought I could get a copy of the 'pain' witch's characteristics, but I didn't expect it was someone you know."

His words almost admitted that he knew Angel, but judging from Triss's expression and relaxed posture, she had almost guessed it, so there was no need to hide it.

"She and I are currently cooperating to a limited extent on the truth about the 'Great Smog' and the murder of Prince Edsac..."

Angel told Klein the information obtained by the "psychic" William Sykes during the day, and finally said:
"Viscount Stepford is obviously under instructions from others. She can be asked to investigate and make contact first. We will hide behind the scenes to avoid being noticed by 'him'."

She was referring to Ince Zangwill and "0-08". It is reasonable for Triss to pursue the truth out of hatred after escaping from the opponent's manipulation, but "Christine Theresa" and "Dawn" "Dantes" has no such reason.

"You just asked her to be the bait in front of her?"

Senior looked at Triss indifferently and asked. This tone made Angel feel that the other party was performing some kind of performance, perhaps to fit the "personality" of the "Secret Puppet". Therefore, Angel just chuckled. answer:
"She volunteered."

These obviously sarcastic words did not make Triss angry. Instead, the latter showed the most heartfelt smile since entering the sewer.

She doesn't have any mental illness, right? I said she volunteered just to make fun of her, but looking at Triss like this, it seems like she really volunteered to do something for the dead Edsac... Well, she was happy because she was "a partner." "There is a powerful pirate general in the game, which is understandable...

Angel looked at Triss's changing expression from the corner of his eye, sighed secretly, and said to Senior:
"You can leave first, and I will take care of the rest."

The marionette nodded silently, and the figure immediately faded, entering the true "ghost spirit" state. Angel guessed that this position was already the limit distance for Klein to control the marionette at home, so he kept standing in place pretending to be arrogant, and could not move at all. You can only go through the wall directly, otherwise there is a risk of losing it.

The loss of the secret puppet means permanent loss. The "Blood Admiral" is already in a certain state of death. If it is out of control, it will die immediately, and there will be no chance to "turn into a secret puppet" again.

This may be the biggest weakness of the "Secret Puppet Master"... Angel thought about it. After the "resentful soul" completely disappeared, he turned back and looked at his expression. His expression gradually became calmer, and his posture was very low, showing a submissive characteristic. Liz, for a while it was not clear which state of publicity, excitement, and submissiveness was the real her. Maybe after Edsac's death, no one can see the real her...

"Then, let's talk about your problem." Seeing Triss lowering her head and saying nothing, Angel said, "You must have noticed that I have a certain degree of cooperation with the 'Blood Admiral'. Our goals are both It is the truth behind the smog, so it will give you some help, but equally, our enemies will also be waiting for opportunities in the dark, so you still have to obtain most of the clues yourself. "

"As long as Viscount Stratford doesn't like men, I can find a way to get him to talk."

Even if he likes men, you can also switch to the "Red Priest" path. Rather than killing demigods with your own hands, it may be easier to cultivate a team of like-minded subordinates... Angel cursed, nodded and said:

"If you need help, you can still use the communication potion to communicate, but I can't guarantee that you can appear like this every time... Also, do you really not plan to hide somewhere else?"

Seeing that Triss actually sat back down in the fork in the road, she reached out to hold a small basket to her side, took out the Dixie pie and sweet ice tea placed in it, and added angrily.

"The timid Miss Thief has been driven away, and the 'Wraith Soul' is one of our own. This place is probably much safer than other places in Backlund.

"I'm curious, you actually cooperated with the 'Blood Admiral'. I heard that he was an executioner who killed people for fun. He slaughtered passengers and sailors on the whole ship and smeared their blood on the deck..."

Triss gracefully unfolded the wrapping paper in the basket, her voice erratic.

"You will understand if you read more recent newspapers."

Angel replied vaguely. She knew that even if she didn't point it out, Triss would definitely investigate the current situation of "Blood Admiral" Senior, and would inevitably find that this pirate general had died a month ago. In the battle between the Rose School of thought and the unknown faction, even his own fleet was divided up by his men.

By then, she will know that today's Senor is actually a dead person... Angel stopped persuading and prepared to leave with the help of the ice that had not yet thawed, but before leaving, he looked at Triss again, hesitated for a moment and spoke. road:

"When investigating Viscount Stepford and approaching the mastermind behind the scenes, you must pay attention to the 'coincidence' events you encounter."

coincide……

Triss's hand holding the pie froze in the air, her eyes looked at Angel with confusion and a hint of fear, but she only caught the shadow entering the world in the mirror.

coincide!

She thought about everything that had happened since she came to Backlund. She was lucky enough to meet people from the "Witch Sect". She happened to have a mission that required her, and she happened to be "falling in love at first sight" with Edsac. When she escaped from him, she encountered various people again and again. An accident...

Her thoughts were confused and she sat there for a while, then shook her head, took out the already cold pie, and filled her stomach with sweet ice tea.

At this moment, the witch huddled in the shadow looked extremely fragile.

----

Entering the mirror world, Angel quickly found the location leading to No. 160 Burklund Street in the complex passage. The bright ones were ready-made mirrors, such as dressing mirrors and full-length mirrors, and the dim ones were glass windows and calm water. .

If you want to return to reality quietly, it is undoubtedly better to choose a mirror that can reflect real objects. However, glass and water are not unusable. The difference is just the size of the noise and the consumption of spiritual energy.

Of course, since the witch Triss was nearby, Angel had no idea of ​​getting out of the mirror and entering Klein's bedroom. She just circled the three-story building, left the North District, and returned to the Hillston District. In your own home.

After several weeks of exploration, she had basically figured out the "mirror world" situation in several nearby districts. Of course, accidents also happened during this period. She accidentally entered the spiritual world while exploring, and accidentally got out of the stained glass on the exterior wall of the church of the God of Steam and Machinery. Fortunately, she got back to the mirror world before she was discovered. There was no tragedy.

"As my familiarity with this world continues to increase, I can almost reach any place in the city instantly. Although it is not as fast as Mr. Azik's spirit world travel, the advantage is that I can observe the outside world through the mirror at any time...

"I didn't tell Klein the details in front of Triss just now. I will write a letter tomorrow to explain and let him continue to focus on taking notes. I am responsible for keeping an eye on Triss..."

Muttering to himself, Angel walked out of the full-length mirror in his bedroom.

As soon as her feet stepped onto the solid ground, she noticed that the light in the bedroom was dimmer than usual. The crimson moonlight outside the window seemed to be blocked out. The wall lamp that was lit for a long time at the cost of gas could only illuminate the space next to the lamp stand. In a small area, the entire building seemed to have fallen into dead silence, with only the soft sound of her footsteps on the carpet.

In Angel's dark vision, the center of this tranquility was located next to the coffee table in the bedroom near the balcony. Sitting on the armchair was a man with short golden brown hair and a body-length black trench coat. His right leg was resting on his left leg, and his hands were on his hands. Between his knees, there was a silver-white metal box beside him.

"I didn't expect you to be gone for half an hour. If I had known, I would have come back later."

"Sword of the Goddess" Crestel Sesima chuckled, and a magnetic voice came from the mouth hidden behind the stand-up collar of the windbreaker.
