Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 685 Leonard’s Troubles
Speaking of mirror fragments, Angel, who has seen many "people in the mirror" recently, immediately thought of the black mirror fragments that would appear after their deaths.

But I am not the "person in the mirror", and the person in the mirror will not be resurrected after death... She chuckled lightly at the mirror world behind the full-length mirror, but involuntarily leaned forward, waiting for Leonard's further steps explain.

Klein obviously also noticed Angel's "invasion" of his dream, so he asked in cooperation:

"Mirror fragments?"

"Yes, because of various questions, I went to the Raphael Cemetery in Tingen City today, dug... and investigated their graves," Leonard's tone was hesitant. After all, "digging graves" is not a It’s worth saying, “Cline Moretti’s coffin was damaged from the inside, with signs of re-burial, while Angel Granger’s was completely nailed, with no body inside, only a piece the size of a palm, irregular in shape and It was a shard of mirror with a cold surface, but before I could pick it up, it disappeared."

"Do you use this to suspect that she is an 'ageless' witch? Let me guess, Pales told you, right?"

After listening to Leonard's explanation, Klein put down his wine glass and asked with a chuckle.

Because he watched Angel advance to the current Sequence 4 step by step, he did not doubt that Angel was "hiding his strength", but he was indeed very interested in the resurrection, so he used words to provoke him a little.

From his tone, he seemed to be very familiar with the old man. Could it be that the two of them were really old acquaintances of the Fourth Age... Leonard frowned, but quickly gave in under the invisible pressure, nodded and said:
"Yes, he said that leaving behind mirror fragments after death and being resurrected soon after is a characteristic of 'ageless' witches. Moreover, there are always various disasters around them."

"Heh, what about your other colleague? Is he also a 'witch'?" Klein sneered and raised his head slightly, making his gaze downwards even more oppressive. "What do you think of resurrection after death?" The knowledge is too superficial, and this should not be Pales’s original words.”

Leonard's breath was stagnant. He did have some preconceptions. Because of Angel's strange resurrection, he thought she was a high-sequence witch or possessed part of their power, so he ignored other doubts.

For example, if a Sequence 3 witch wants to plot against the Nighthawks team in Tingen City, she doesn’t need to go to such trouble. She can just rush into the Blackthorn Security Company and kill every Nighthawk she sees; another example is, Pallet Si once reminded him that there are many ways to resurrect.

Seeing that his former colleague was speechless, Klein felt the joy of being a "keyboard warrior" in his previous life. This made him feel a little guilty, but it soon dissipated in his mind because the other person dug his own grave. , but with an indifferent expression and a slightly cold tone, he said:

"If this is the only reason you're here, you can leave now."

No, if he does this again, the conversation will be completely controlled by him... For the first time since Leonard became a "Nightmare", he was so anxious in a dream, and even began to lack self-confidence. Fortunately, after experiencing many setbacks and joining the "Red Gloves", he He was not the self-respecting poet a year ago. He quickly adjusted his mood and bowed slightly:

"Sorry, I came here to ask about your true purpose."

"The real purpose...you mean breaking into Chanis Gate?"

Klein's tone became a little more serious and he lowered his raised feet.

"I think you misunderstood one thing. The members of our organization come from different places and join for different purposes. They occasionally cooperate with each other to complete some difficult tasks, but most of the time they only conduct limited exchanges of intelligence and resources. ""

Resurrected because of a curse?
Leonard was stunned.

He was saying that what Klein did in Tingen was not due to the arrangements of "The Fool", and that after resurrecting from the dead, breaking into the Chanis Gate of St. Samuel's Church was just a personal act and had nothing to do with the organization... Leonard thought, suddenly becoming interested in this organization that believed in "The Fool".

It sounds like a loose but secretive organization with certain rules, just like the Hermits of Destiny, but with closer ties. If I want revenge, it would be too slow to just accumulate merit within the church and be promoted step by step. Can I consider... He immediately gave up this dangerous idea and looked at Dwayne Dantès with a frown, feeling alert.

I was almost seduced by him into joining that secret organization. Moreover, my reason for revenge has been reduced by half after today’s grave digging... The corner of his mouth twitched twice and he spoke again:

"So, Klein was able to crawl out of the grave after death because he accidentally came into contact with the notebook during the operation? What about Angel, is she the same?"

Why did you crawl out? I walked out... Klein cursed and shook his head:
"I said, there are various methods of resurrection, and you should be more relaxed in your thinking... But the two of them have the same purpose. They both joined us for revenge."

"Revenge? To whom?"

Leonard blurted out, but countless information he had investigated during this period flashed through his mind.

After his death, the scene was filled with tarot cards, the various scars on Lanerwus' body, the tragic situation of Ms. D of the Aurora Society...

Is it...

"Of course it's the culprits of the Tingen City tragedy, Lanerwus, the Aurora Society, and...

"Ince Zangwill."

The words of the middle-aged gentleman in front of him confirmed his suspicion.

Sure enough, they have not forgotten the tragedy in Tingen City, the park in the middle of the street with corpses strewn across the street, and the anger of being plotted by the mastermind behind the scenes... Leonard stood by the window, like a sculpture under the dim moonlight in his dream, It didn't move for a long time. After a long time, he turned his neck with difficulty, looked at Dwayne Dantès again, and said:

"But this still doesn't explain Klein's actions of breaking into Chanis Gate this time... If their target is Ince Zangwill, why don't they directly cooperate with the church?"

"Will you confess your 'specialness' to the church?"

Dawn, who was sitting in the easy chair opposite him, chuckled again and replied teasingly.

"They are the same and have the same concerns. What's more, the sealed artifact possessed by the defecting archbishop can make any apparent pursuit futile. If you cooperate with the church, you will only fall into the same predicament."

Sealed Artifact, "0-08"... Leonard's green eyes lit up, thinking of the many events that happened in Tingen City, the belated telegram after the battle, and the sound of the old voice in his mind. warning.

Suddenly, he stood up straight and bowed solemnly to Dawn Dantès.

"Thank you for your answer, I have no more questions.

"But I will investigate these 'truths' separately."

I always feel that he is not as easy to fool as he was in Tingen, but treating Angel as an "ageless" witch and coming directly to ask questions in my dream is very characteristic of him. Should I say he is reckless and dualistic... Klein muttered Then he said in a casual tone:

"You tell Pales Zoroastrian that members of our organization discovered traces of 'Amon' in the 'Land Abandoned by Gods'... Also, if you are interested or need help, you can chant The honorable name of Mr. Fool may be able to get a response."

Amon, the Fool, the place abandoned by the gods... Leonard repeated silently, his face changing several times, and finally he nodded silently, and his figure disappeared into the shadows in the corner of the bedroom.

"Dwayne Dantès" continued to sit in the easy chair, holding a wine glass in one hand and placing the other on the armrest. He did not look aside until he confirmed that the reckless and cautious former colleague had really left the dreamland. full length mirror.

The light on the mirror flickered, and a figure appeared in the bedroom. It was Angel who had listened to the whole process of Leonard being deceived in the dream.

"I didn't expect that your resurrection was because of the 'curse of the Antigonus family'?"

Angel, who had returned to his original appearance due to falling asleep, was wearing a silk nightgown that only reached his knees, exposing half of his smooth thighs. He stepped on the carpet with his bare feet, approached Klein, and said in a teasing tone.

"What about you? Miss 'Eternal' Witch?"

Seeing her appear, Klein also returned to his appearance with black hair and brown eyes, and counterattacked rudely.

Afterwards, the two fell into a brief silence, and then they both sighed.

Unlike Leonard's wild guesses, they themselves have not yet figured out the true source of the "resurrection" ability and the price they may have to pay.

Of course, after hearing Leonard's narration, Angel already had some guesses. Her "resurrection" ability may really come from the "ageless" witch, but it is not her own power, but the "disaster" The talisman is similar, it is a "gift" of the witch's high-level ability.

Like "disaster" and "betrayal", they may all come from the city I saw after my death, that weird apocalyptic world... She thought about it, came to Klein, and squeezed into the not-so-spacious room. Easy chair.

"Do you think he will believe what you say?"

Angel asked as he snuggled next to Klein.

Just now, Leonard repeatedly mentioned the matter of Tingen, which reminded her of every bit of contact with Klein in work and life in the past. At this time, she couldn't help but feel happy when she saw the other person's appearance when he returned to Tingen.

"Ahem... I don't think he fully believes it. Even apart from the purpose of sneaking into Chanis Gate, what I said is basically true." Klein squirmed in his chair, but in the end he was still unable to avoid Angel's "attack." ", he could only change the subject with a slight cough, "But at least he won't report it to the church. After all, we haven't done anything really bad, and the ultimate goal is the same as him. His 'parasite' will also remind him. The horror of -0 made him act cautiously.”

"So in the future, I might be a 'bad witch' in his eyes?"

Angel chuckled and directly hooked his hands around Klein's neck.

"So, who will be the poor guy who was deceived by the bad witch?"
