Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 734: A single move affects the entire body
"How strong is Hampres? Is it possible that he is also a demigod?"

After dealing with Stephen Hampres and Hvin Rambis in various ways in his mind, Angel asked.

Audrey seemed to have anticipated such a question and answered immediately without thinking:

"It's unlikely. He claims to be just a 'psychologist', and I think he is only at this level. Otherwise, he should be able to discover Ms. D who was disguised as Eslant that day. His sadness and anger afterwards did not seem fake, so it is unlikely that he was in collusion with the 'Aurora Society'."

"In that case, it shouldn't take much effort to deal with him. The only difficulty lies in the 'manipulator' behind him, Hvin Rambis. This demigod is only one of the members of the Psychological Alchemist Association's jury. We don't know whether he has colleagues or superiors in Backlund..."

Angel murmured, feeling that this Hampres was exposed too easily, causing her to wonder if this "audience" who had just entered the middle sequence was a bait put out by the Psychological Alchemy Society.

Based on how Baron Sindras and Audrey were tricked, Hwin Rambis liked to hide behind Hampres to exert influence on his targets, and there was a high possibility that he used him as a shield or bait... And Hampres must have some kind of hint, such as regular contact and immediate warning when something happened. As long as he was killed, Hwin would find out immediately.

Of course, Angel could also launch an attack directly on the demigod. After all, Hvin Rambis was a royal adviser with a public identity, and even Audrey knew where he lived.

But this is even more suspicious. Is there a hidden power behind him, or is he protected by royal power?

Thinking of this, Angel discovered that without thorough preparation, it would be difficult for her to directly deal with the exposed members of the Psychological Alchemy Society.

As expected of a secret organization with a history of hundreds of years, it would be difficult to shake them even if their identities were exposed... Of course, I could report it to the church, but I lack the corresponding evidence, unless Audrey's Beyonder identity was exposed, which might even implicate Mr. Fool... Angel sighed regretfully, and another doubt came to his mind:
Why would Hvin Rambis risk being exposed to harm Baron Syndras and use Audrey to find out information about "Christine Theresa"?

As a demigod "audience", he can slowly make arrangements in secret and accomplish everything in a more covert way. Angel can use the "mirror world" to break through psychological invisibility and find the "audience" beside him, but Hwin can investigate other people she has contacted, steal files, and even go to Trier to expose those fabricated identities, instead of being easily discovered by Audrey and Angel like now.

"I think he may have two purposes..."

After hearing Angel's doubts, Audrey frowned, causing a few shallow wrinkles on her smooth forehead, and answered carefully:
"First, the hypnosis and suggestion on me this time was after I took the initiative to contact Hampres and wanted to go deeper into the 'Psychological Alchemy Society'. Maybe it was his test and examination of me. Secondly, after Baron Sinderas's accident, he became a devout believer of the Storm Church. He also reconciled with my brother Hibbert and Lady Mary and got on the chariot of the new party. This has dealt a blow to the power of the Conservative Party to a certain extent, and in the current political arena of the kingdom, the power of the two factions has been balanced again... I suspect that this is the request of the royal family."

"You mean, Hvin Rambis acted so radically because of a certain order, and at the same time, he was protected by the forces behind him, so he was not afraid of being exposed?"

Angel felt that he understood a little bit and asked back.

"This is just my speculation. If it is true, Hampres will contact me again soon to ask about my 'progress'..."

By that time, Audrey would either give out some information or reveal that she had lifted the "hypnosis"... Angel added in his mind, and suddenly had an idea:
"If he asks about the intelligence you found, you can do this..."

In a carriage next to the Kingdom Theatre, West End.

Sherman, with her long brown hair neatly tied behind her head and light makeup on her face, was checking her clothes and making final preparations.

She was wearing an old-fashioned long dress today, conservatively covering every inch of skin below her neck. On her head was a wide-brimmed hat that was popular for women last year. A thin black veil draped from the front added a touch of hazy beauty to her appearance.

This outfit turned her, who was once considered a beautiful woman, into an outdated woman who couldn't keep up with Backlund's fashion. As long as she walked on the street, she would be lost in the crowd, losing her biggest advantage as a "witch".

But the black-haired woman sitting opposite her nodded with satisfaction:
"That's it. As long as you appear in front of that guy, you will definitely attract his attention."

As she spoke, she turned her head to look out the carriage window, revealing a beautiful face. A hint of melancholy flashed in her black pupils, and her black hair swayed casually in front of her chest. The charm she exuded inadvertently stunned Sherman.

I feel like you appearing outside will attract everyone's attention... She muttered, straightened her dress, took a deep breath and said:
"I'm ready."

"Remember, don't take the initiative to approach Viscount Stratford. Your task today is to buy a ticket for the recently released 'Beauty and the Werewolf' stage play, watch it carefully, and then leave... Of course, you will 'run into' him before you leave, and be politely asked for your name. Just tell the truth and don't reveal more information. Just say you look forward to the new play next Saturday."

Triss, who had black hair, black eyes and a black dress, gave instructions and helped Sherman tidy up the black gauze on the brim of her hat.

"Are you so sure I can get his attention?"

Hearing Sherman's question, Triss chuckled and replied:

"Of course, he was widowed in middle age and never remarried. He seemed to be indifferent to women, but in fact he had been lonely for a long time. Due to family reasons, he hated those ladies with flamboyant personalities in social circles. Instead, he liked young women of different social status. Haha, I think this was out of some kind of compensation psychology, perhaps due to the lack of some experience when he was young...

"You are dressed like this, so it is difficult for ordinary people to discover your true appearance. But as a Beyonder, Stratford can easily see through you, and you will think that you have found a rough diamond, and you can let him play with it. Well, it's not right to say that you think so. You are indeed a virgin now..." At this point, Triss looked out the window again and suddenly realized:
"The time is almost up. You must go in first. You cannot create any coincidences that can be seen by him or the people who are secretly monitoring and protecting him. Remember my words, do not take the initiative to approach him. Do you understand?"

Sherman nodded, picked up the handbag beside her, stood up, and prepared to leave the carriage.

"By the way," Triss stopped her before they parted as if she had thought of something, "Be careful, don't get too involved, this is just a mission."

"Of course, what else could it be..."

Sherman looked at Triss in confusion, muttered, pushed the door open and walked out, waved her hand as if saying goodbye to her best friend, and then walked into the main entrance of the theater.

"Ah……"

Looking at her back, Triss laughed again.

But there was worry and nostalgia in her eyes, but no smile.

At the other end of the street, a luxurious carriage slowly drove over. It was inlaid with a coat of arms consisting of a flower and two rings. It belonged to Viscount Stratford, the captain of the palace guards of the Kingdom of Loen.

It parked steadily at the entrance of the Kingdom Theatre. A tall figure, escorted by several bodyguards, walked into the theatre, attracting the gazes of the surrounding people.

The man wearing a wig, with hard facial lines and meticulously groomed clothes sent away the eager waiter and was about to turn towards the luxurious box when his eyes suddenly paused among a group of people queuing for tickets and fell on a woman dressed in an old-fashioned way with her face covered by a black veil.

After a moment, he whispered a few words to the bodyguard beside him and walked into his own box.

All this fell into the eyes of Hugh Dilcher, who had been waiting in a corner of the theater hall.

He brought so many bodyguards with him when he went out, and there were other Beyonders secretly following him. He himself seemed to be on guard against certain things happening... Who exactly wanted to harm Viscount Stratford?
Xio thought secretly, feeling a little anxious. She had been following the Viscount intermittently for more than half a month and had accumulated a lot of merits for it. However, the boring surveillance also made her quite bored, and she kept having the idea of ​​"giving up the mission when she had enough merits."

But by following him, maybe she could find out the truth about her father's murder... She sighed and watched Stratford walk into the luxury box. She knew she couldn't follow him in, so she could only look at the woman who had just queued up to buy the ticket.

The sheriff's keenness allowed Xio to notice where the Viscount's gaze rested, and noticed the veiled woman.

In a few seconds, she recognized the other person's identity by his gait and subtle movements.

Sherman, no, Sherman?

Xio was stunned.

East Balam, Gurain Castle.

After washing off the dust and fatigue, Klein walked out of the bathroom refreshed. His newly acquired secret doll stood in a corner of the suite's living room, eyes downcast, not daring to look at its master.

Well, this "Winner" puppet is good in every way, but due to the problem of the "monster" path, it can't directly see the "specialness" of me, just like the boatswain on the "Redhead Girl". If I also join the battlefield during the battle, I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome...

Seeing Enzo, who was originally a member of the Rose School but fell into the trap of the Nighthawks and came to him to become the first chosen secret doll, Klein chuckled and began to formulate a plan to find the next secret doll.

"Let's use the old method. I'll try divination to see if there's anyone who's done a lot of evil and is willing to 'take the initiative' to become my secret puppet. It would be best if he's a bit strong, but not too strong, or I won't be able to defeat him..."

He muttered to himself, and walked four steps backwards in front of his secret doll, and came to the gray fog palace belonging to The Fool. He sat upright on the high-backed chair, and was about to eliminate interference and use divination to find a new secret doll, when he suddenly found that the star belonging to The Magician began to flash.

After a moment, a smile appeared on his face when he received the other party's prayer message.

"Finally, we have the coordinates of Calderon City..."
