Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 773 The Magical Effect of Curse

Pleasure Witch...

Hvin Rambis remained silent. There was no doubt in his blue eyes, but wisdom that understood everything.

Ever since this mysterious young lady, whose beauty had become a hot topic in Backlund's upper social circles, appeared in his field of vision, Hewin had always suspected that her strange charm was not naturally formed, but caused by some extraordinary ability.

Now that he got confirmation, he actually had a feeling of "as expected".

Of course, if Christine Theresa had not interfered with his plan to bring disgrace to Baron Syndras, he would not have cared about this witch who actively participated in various dinners and dances and frequently came into contact with nobles and wealthy businessmen. After all, the royal family actually had a certain cooperation with the "Witch Sect", and the "Psychological Alchemy Society" he belonged to also covered up many dirty things for the royal family, so they could be regarded as being in the same camp.

Could it be that when I did some shallow hypnosis, I just happened to encounter the "Witch of Pleasure" who could arouse male desire, causing the bomb of desire to explode prematurely?

He thought with some self-mockery, and did not completely trust Stephen Hampres's words. Instead, he began to ask him about the details of his conversation with Audrey Hall.

At the same time, in the depths of Hampres's heart, who was concentrating on telling stories and answering questions from time to time, in the world composed of the spiritual sky and the sea of ​​consciousness, a stone staircase leading from the bottom of the sea to the sea surface gradually emerged. On it, the figure of Hvin Rambis, wearing a shirt, vest and trousers, walked quickly, almost flashing to the sea surface, and walked into the island representing Hampres' consciousness.

Compared to the deep and dark ocean of the subconscious, the island presented by the conscious mind is only a small part, and it is also the part that is easiest to invade and modify.

Near this island, there are also islands of different sizes and appearances. They are the maids waiting outside the door, the cooks in the kitchen, the coachmen cleaning the stables, and even the residents in other buildings.

Because this ocean does not belong to Hampres alone, but is the "collective subconscious ocean" shared by all living things. Through this ocean, high-sequence "audiences" can quickly enter the dreams of others, use this to travel long distances, and spread "plagues" that can infect a large number of people.

Of course, Hewen did not do so at this time. He just asked the other party about the details of the communication while searching for those memories in the island of consciousness to confirm that the other party was not lying and was not interfered with by other extraordinary abilities.

Even if it was an "operator" like him who wanted to conceal the truth in this way, he would be discovered through his careful investigation.

There was no concealment of key information, and no signs of hypnosis, suggestion, or memory modification... A moment later, Hvin Rambis, with a sinister look on his face, completely different from his gentle and elegant temperament in "reality", confirmed this.

The figure did not return to the sea of ​​consciousness and leave the unconscious mind of Hampres, but continued to float above the island, staring at the thoughts that materialized into rocks, trees, and beaches below.

The real Herwin smiled and asked:
"Was Christine Theresa also at the salon today? Did she reach out to you?"

"Yes," Hampres answered confidently. The quality of the "audience" allowed him to remember all the details. "She was introduced to me by Audrey Hall. She expressed some affection during the process, but did not do anything out of line. When I returned to the salon, she ran into me and offered me a glass of sparkling wine. She also asked where Audrey was going... By the way, she and Audrey had many intimate actions, including kissing each other on the cheek and pressing hands... In her report, she also said frankly that she had a special closeness to Christine."

"An unexpected encounter? Are you sure there was no design involved?"

Hvin Rambis asked back with a frown.

"Not sure. She was holding two glasses of wine. She was obviously looking for someone. She was probably looking for Audrey. She just passed the wine to me out of courtesy when we met first. Considering that witches need blood or hair to curse others, I don't think she would do anything with the wine."

Hampres did not dare to hide anything and spoke his true thoughts.

Even though this witch lady has extraordinary charm, he doesn't think that the other party will take the initiative to hand him a glass of wine and express affection beyond ordinary relationships when they meet for the first time.

At most, it's just a side trip...

At the same time, Herwin, with an indifferent expression on top of the island of consciousness, was checking his traces of these memories and confirmed that everything was true.

It seems that while the "Pleasure Witch" is hunting down luxurious single men, she also seems to want to develop some unusual friendship with Count Hall's daughter. This is in line with their methods, well, in line with Trier's style... Hvin Rambis thought about it, carefully confirmed Hampres's island of consciousness again, and then followed the way he came into the sea of ​​subconsciousness, ending this "two-line operation".

In reality, he did not end the topic at this point. Instead, he took off a gold ring engraved with arc-shaped dragon scales from his hand, raised it up, and infused it with some spirituality, allowing it to emit a soft, warm golden light.

This ray of light illuminated the confused Hampres, making him feel as if his whole body was washed by holy water, and warmth continued to surge up, but other than that, he did not feel any discomfort.

"Mr. Commissioner?"

He asked cautiously. "Just to confirm. After all, witches are proficient in curses. Maybe you have one of their tricks on you."

Hvin Rambis replied, not showing any embarrassment because of his futile actions. This kind of caution is the necessary quality for him to survive in this big city. Even when he hypnotized Baron Syndras, he dared to show his tentacles only with the permission of the member of the royal family. Apart from that, he hid behind the scenes in any action and never easily revealed his true face.

Putting on the ring that possessed the abilities of the "Sun Priest" again, Herwin smiled and continued to ask:
"Did you give her new instructions?"

Hampres was a little uneasy after hearing what Hewin said, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he was not cursed. He quickly replied:

"According to your previous instructions, I asked Audrey to stop investigating Christine Theresa and instead find a way to secretly find out the details of Baron Sinderas's joining the New Party. Of course, I also asked her to keep the secret as her top priority."

"Very good. Since the Pleasure Witch is not coming for us, let's observe for a while. Maybe she can play a key role in some matters."

Hwin nodded, quite satisfied with his "hypnosis agent". The cooperation between the two could make Audrey receive demigod-level hypnosis and suggestion without exposing Hwin to the sight of the Church of the Goddess of Night. Even if Hampres was caught, the suggestion he made in advance could make the other party forget everything, and even divination would be difficult to find any trace.

"After I leave, forget about this conversation and don't recall it until I visit you again. If there is an emergency you want to report, you can go to my place."

He finally gave the order and imprinted it in Hampres mind through manipulation of his subconscious mind, then he stood up gracefully, walked out of the room, passed by the maid who ignored him, and left.

"Yes, Commissioner..."

Hampres's farewell words had not yet been finished when he stepped out of the room, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.

Deep in his brown pupils, a flash of bright purple passed by.

……

With a long sigh, Angel swept his slender fingers across the mirror, making the luxuriously decorated living room of the Hampres family disappear into the depths of the mirror. Then he took out a crudely made doll from behind the dressing mirror, which looked somewhat similar to Stephen Hampres, and threw it into the mirror space.

Treating me, who is already a demigod, as a "witch of pleasure" is your biggest mistake... She chuckled, stretched, and stood up from the chair in front of the desk.

When Angel overheard the conversation between Stephen Hampres and Audrey in the salon, the details of this "wiretapping operation" took shape in his mind.

She used the soul of the "Chaos Mentor" that she had herded with the "Rose Necklace" to "bribe" him by handing him a wine glass. After this act was successful, a short-term mystical connection would be formed between the two of them, and everything that happened to Angel would be reflected in Hampres simultaneously, such as... minor injuries.

Angel licked her lower lip subconsciously. The scar caused by her nails had disappeared without a trace under the repair of "Flesh and Blood Control". However, the moment Hampres drank the stimulating sparkling wine, the scar appeared on his lips and a drop of blood flowed out.

The moment the drop of blood fell into the wine glass, it fell into Angel's hands through the "mirror world" in the mirror reflection formed by the glass. She couldn't even think of such a sophisticated operation when she just took the "despair" potion. Only now that she has completely mastered the magic of the mirror can she do it.

With the other party's blood, Angel could do so many things. She used the cursed doll to share Hampres's vision and hearing and listened in on the "report". However, due to his own potion sequence, Hvin Rambis paid more attention to whether Hampres's memory had been modified or hinted at, and naturally ignored the possible intrusion on his body.

Of course, he also tried to use the ring to purify the curse, but it was obviously just the holy light of the "Sun Priest", which had no effect on the demigod's curse... Angel chuckled, happy that his plan had succeeded.

In addition, Audrey had requested the angel's blessing from Mr. Fool in advance, so the current actions seemed to be flawless... and the next move of the Psychological Alchemy Society was confirmed, which gave us the initiative...

She thought happily, clasped her hands together, whispered the Fool's honorable name, and informed Justice Audrey of the success of the operation.

----

At three o'clock on Monday afternoon, as crimson rays of light flashed, the members of the Tarot Club gathered again in the palace above the gray fog.

They were surprised to find that there were two "newcomers" this time.
