Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 664 All Arrested
Without hesitation, Cheval Douma dropped the briefcase that was in the way, reached into the hidden pocket of his windbreaker, took out a handful of silver-white powder, and sprinkled it to the side of the corridor.

As the powder dispersed, a figure of "Cheval" wearing a windbreaker, a silk top hat, and polished leather shoes just like him strode forward, aiming for the stairs in the center of the corridor.

The Cheval who threw the powder turned around, gently opened the office door, got in and locked it, took a deep breath, and looked at the familiar office.

He knew that the phantom created by the "wizard's" magic would be seen through by official extraordinary people within a few seconds, and what he was fighting for was these few seconds.

I can only abandon this identity...Immediately use the passage in the mirror to leave, and then warn others to evacuate immediately...Damn it, who exposed my identity!
Thoughts were swirling in his mind, but Cheval's movements did not pause at all. While pinching the transparent cufflinks at his wrists, he quickly came to the cabinet next to his desk, opened the cabinet door, and looked at a half-length mirror on the inside of the door. .

——In Trier, where everyone pursues fashion, it is very common to have a mirror in the office to organize your clothes and maintain your image.

And this is also the last resort for the "man in the mirror" to escape.

At this time, the surface of the half-length mirror had become blurry, and there seemed to be countless dark and deep passages inside, intersecting like a spider web and extending in different directions.

This is the special characteristic of mid-sequence "mirror people" compared to their lower-sequence counterparts, or even ordinary people. They can allow themselves to enter the "mirror world" to travel, instead of just transmitting information!
Seeing that the passage was successfully activated, half of the burden in Cheval's heart was relieved. He leaned forward, used his hands and feet together, and quickly got into the half-length mirror on the inside of the cabinet door as if he had been trained countless times, leaving only a pair of feet wearing leather shoes exposed. , and the feet quickly retracted, and they were about to enter the illusory mirror and leave the real world completely.

But the next second, he seemed to have been kicked by someone. He leaned back and fell back into his office from the dim mirror world. In the dizziness of the world, he rolled all the way to his desk and bumped into it. I came to my senses only on the solid wood table legs.

Staring blankly at the half-length mirror that had regained its brightness and reflected the scene in the office, a seductive laugh echoed in Cheval's ears.

"boom--"

It was a laugh that mocked the "man in the mirror" and made him extremely desperate.

In a corner where no one cared, a pair of purple eyes watched all this quietly. After the carriage drove away, they disappeared into a piece of glass across the street.

The sound of the mirror shattering, the sound of gunfire that was blocked by the sunlight, and the exclamations and curses kept ringing in the small office. After a moment, his face was slumped, one eye socket was bruised and swollen, his windbreaker was torn, and the top hat on his head was missing. Cheval was escorted downstairs by several angry "Purifiers", put into a four-wheeled carriage with the Holy Emblem of the Sun, and left secretly.

The leader of the blond man held a gun in one hand and the shaking black mirror fragment in the other and shouted. The holy symbol of the sun on his chest shone brightly in the too strong sunlight outside the window.

The door of the office was kicked open, and several men wearing windbreakers with golden buttons swarmed forward, almost filling the entire room. They instantly surrounded Cheval, who had not had time to stand up, in the middle. The barrel of the gun was pointed at his head from different angles, cutting off any thought of resistance by the "man in the mirror" and "wizard".

"Cheval Dulin, your suspected collusion with the cult has been exposed. Come with us to the tribunal!"

----

"No wonder the Purifiers of the Church of the Eternal Sun are so 'famous' that the underground gatherings in Trier turn pale when they talk about the Inquisition. Their methods of action are tougher than those of the 'Punishers'. If they don't want to avoid being seen by other 'mirrors' People' discovered that these purifiers who were resisted should drag Cheval to the street to show them to the public..."

Angel, who had watched the entire capture of Cheval Douma, and even kicked him out when he escaped into the mirror world, sighed with emotion, got out of the glass window on the other side of the boulevard, and appeared in the deserted place. in the alley. In Trier, a place she was unfamiliar with, she did not dare to stay in the mirror world for a long time. Even when she was traveling, she tried to hire a carriage instead of using the free and convenient mirror magic.

"Including team leader Sophie Mello, who was captured by the 'Machine Heart' in the Red Princess District, and Cheval Douma, who was just fell into the hands of the 'Purifier', all the 'Man in the Mirror' who were exposed are Already arrested... It's only noon now, and the efficiency of Trier's official Beyonders is still quite high..."

After a busy morning and rushing to several places, Angel finally relaxed and stood on the busy boulevard, enjoying the joy gradually welling up in his heart.

At least now, the matter of the "man in the mirror" has come to an end, and the follow-up information will have to be shared with the "Night Watch" after the "Machine Heart" and "Purifiers" interrogate, divination, and channel the man in the mirror. Only then can she know.

After questioning Danio last night and using "disease" to kill him after he fell into despair, Angel also had a certain summary of the way the "desperate" witch plays:

Drive your enemies into their deepest despair before killing them.

This is a bit like the ritual of promotion to Sequence 4. When killing the demigod Zatwin who fell into despair, Angel could feel the other party's extreme emotions. When he took the potion, it stabilized his spiritual body and prevented the mental residue in the potion from harming him. According to this idea of ​​deconstructing the origin of the ritual, perhaps killing a large number of ordinary people who have fallen into despair, instead of killing a demigod, can also play a substitute role.

On the other hand, the performance of "Despair" can not only cause tens of thousands of casualties in the great smog like the "Lady of Despair" Panatia, but can also be replaced by a high-ranking extraordinary person who can be quickly digested in a short period of time. The magic potion in the body.

For example, my digestion speed during the "Happy" witch period surprised even Laura... Thinking of this, Angel felt a little hot on his face. He subconsciously looked around him and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that passers-by didn't notice.

"Next, I only have two things left in Trier... The traces of the 'Witch Cult' can be obtained from Servilia. I have already obtained her current identity from Danio, and I can find her at any time. Go; the other one is No. 13 Market Avenue, where there was a pollution leak and was related to the 'Man in the Mirror', the burned-out building..."

After a brief mental evaluation, she decided on the order of the two goals.

……

In the hot spring area, in a very large manor, the gardener was working hard under the scorching sun to prune the vegetation in the garden to keep them as perfect as the designer had in mind.

On the third floor of the post-Russell-style villa in the center of the garden, Servilia Langdon, who has black hair and gray eyes, a beautiful face, and exudes female charm, is wearing a silk robe and seems to be looking at The grass and trees below have actually lost focus, and they are thinking about something.

"Ugh……"

She sighed softly, closed the window, and turned around.

A young woman with black hair shawl and a round face with a few freckles was standing behind her.
