Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 806 Laying a Trap
Above the gray fog, three figures sat down in different positions, looking at each other without speaking for a while.

This week’s Tarot Club had just ended. Originally, except for Mr. Fool, the remaining ten members should have returned to their bodies under the cover of the crimson light. However, in view of the request of the World, the three-member team dedicated to clearing out all of Backlund’s Amon clones stayed and continued to discuss related matters.

This made Angel almost certain of Mr. Fool's attitude towards the matter.

There is no doubt that He is also happy to see the "blasphemer" Amon suffer a setback, perhaps because some of the actions of this Angel King have violated His interests?

Glancing at the "Fool" seat with only an empty high-back chair behind it, Angel muttered a few words to himself, then looked at Leonard the Star and said:

"A high-sequence Beyonder in terms of destiny reminded us that my fate with Klein will have ups and downs this Wednesday or Thursday. This may mean... encountering Amon's clones."

She did not explicitly state that it was a hint from the "Snake of Fate", which would not only scare Leonard, but would also make the "old man" behind him, Pales Zoroast, wary, which would be detrimental to the cooperation between the three.

Besides, she and Klein were not sure whether the "ups and downs of fate" meant meeting Amon's clone, so they could only prepare in this direction for now.

"Then we only have two to three days to prepare..." Leonard, who seemed a little casual because of the absence of the Fool, nodded slightly and said, "I'm already prepared. The old man's goal is very clear. As long as he captures one of Amon's clones, He can deal with all the clones in Backlund. Of course, He didn't tell us the principle."

"You've always called the angel inside you 'old man'?"

The World Klein suddenly asked, his voice as low as ever, playing the role of a cold adventurer and a taciturn follower of The Fool.

"He also agreed to this title. Moreover, since I know that He is the 'thief' who survived from the Fourth Epoch to this day, I think this title is more appropriate."

Leonard smiled indifferently, not realizing the importance of an angel.

At least he still called Pales Zoroast "Him", which showed some basic respect. Otherwise, I'm always worried that one day the "star" who participated in the Tarot Club would become an old grandfather with a beard growing to his waist, gray hair, and a thousand-year-old decay in his words... Angel complained in his heart and brought the topic back on track:

"Then follow the original plan. I will carry the Parasite gloves as bait. Klein will ask for the blessing of the Fool and observe the surroundings with a detached vision. Leonard will wait in the dark. Once there is any movement, he will immediately use the Word of the Sea to come to the scene."

Shortly after the Tarot meeting last week, Leonard bought the "Word of the Sea" cane sold by Klein, and Pales gave it proper "re-education", making this magical item with certain living properties much more obedient. At least it would not be swung on the road at any time to hit the owner on the head, and it would not summon Thunder and a whole team of Punishers when passing by the Storm Church.

Of course, this cane that Leonard spent 10,000 pounds on also has its final stubbornness. It will not give up the stress-relieving method of singing loudly at regular intervals, even if Pales threatens to steal its voice and make its singing only make a whimpering sound like an old bellows.

Finally, the two sides reached an agreement that "Sea Words" could sing a song every day at the time specified by Leonard, but the choice of the music was given to Leonard, and it could only be sung in a male voice similar to his.

So in recent days, the midnight poet, who has become increasingly familiar with the various abilities of this cane, has transformed himself into a midnight singer, singing popular country songs in Ahowa County in the dead of night, causing neighbors to knock on his door and issue hostile warnings.

As Leonard recalled these painful memories, Klein silently looked at the "Queen" Angel next to the Fool's position. He pursed his lips and wanted to modify the "bait" plan, but in the end he did not speak.

He knew that the current role allocation was the best choice that combined the extraordinary abilities of several people. Angel was the only one among the three who fought head-on and defeated an avatar of Amon, and was identified by the other party as the "Witch of the House of Night". Even if he fell into trouble, the Amons might not dare to really kill him. The task of using the help of Mr. Fool to search for the avatar of Amon who replaced his fate and identity could only be given to the real "Fool" Klein.

If I walk four steps backwards to the gray fog and observe the surroundings, and find that a certain Amon has been attracted by the demigod characteristics of the "thief", it will be the biggest crisis since I traveled through time... He muttered to himself and reluctantly agreed to this plan.

But he immediately opened his mouth to remind:

"Tomorrow, we will go to Dr. Allen's place again. He said we should bring some ice cream, so let him eat as much as he wants."

At least, I must do my best to protect Angel... Klein secretly made up his mind.

The "star" Leonard on the side fell into a state of self-doubt.

What? Dr. Allen is "Him"? Is he the High Sequence Extraordinary Person in terms of destiny that Angel mentioned? Is he an angel?
I also secretly invaded His dreams, looking for clues about Erin Watson, also known as Angel. I drank His coffee in my dreams and ate the ice cream handed to me by His servants... Thinking of this, Leonard turned pale.

No wonder after leaving the dream, I almost bumped my head against the spiritual wall that someone had set up... Praise the goddess, this angel of fate only punished me a little and didn't really let me die silently... Thinking of this, Leonard subconsciously raised his hand and drew a crimson moon on his chest. After just two clicks, he secretly glanced at the position of "The Fool" at the head of the long table and put down his arm awkwardly.

On Tuesday noon, after lunch and a short rest, Angel came to Dalton Street in the North District alone and set up a preset "battlefield" in a two-story building that he had rented in advance.

This place is close to Pestfield Street where Saint Samuel Church is located, and less than one kilometer away from Dawn Dantes's house on Böklund Street. Leonard, who lives on Pinster Street, can reach here within a minute using the "Word of the Sea", making it an ideal place to set up an ambush.

The most important thing is that the underground gas pipeline is being maintained here recently, and the whole street is full of potholes. Most carriages and pedestrians will not pass by here, and there are not many residents around. Compared with other busy streets, this place can reduce the possible losses caused by the battle.

Angel had thought about choosing the battlefield on the outskirts of the city, but that would be too obvious and easily detected by Amon's clones. As long as they resisted the temptation to absorb the extraordinary characteristics of the "Thief" and did not actively step into the trap, they would have no way to deal with the clones hiding in the city.

Moreover, Pales Zoroast was confident that he could deal with all of Amon's clones without affecting the ordinary people they parasitized, which gave Angel the final reason to make his decision.

After coming out of the mirror world, Angel paced in the empty building, his eyes sweeping over the mirrors of all sizes hanging on the walls, placed on the tables and pasted behind the doors. He was very satisfied with this "mirror world".

Without revealing their intentions, there are no less than thirty mirrors of various kinds placed in this house. Not only can they be used as mirror substitutes to provide Angel with a last layer of protection when her eyes lose their function, but they can also expand her field of vision and attack range, turning the entire building into a "witch's territory" with no blind spots.

After visiting Will Auceptin again with Klein in the morning, they also made other preparations, such as making more spells, developing a plan to notify others at any time to prevent someone from being attacked, and praying to the Goddess of Night in advance to inform the deity that the action was about to begin.

According to Klein, Will Auceptin's original home, where he lived before his "restart" identity, was on this street. Is this a coincidence of fate? Angel pondered and prayed to Mr. Fool on a simple altar, asking him to grant him the "Parasite" gloves that he had kept.

Angel did not hesitate to get this magical object with a black surface, which looked like the leather gloves that can be seen everywhere on the street. He immediately sealed it with the spiritual wall and then threw it into his own "mirror space".

Based on the experience of "Old Man" Pales, this double insurance is enough to isolate the influence of "aggregation" for a certain period of time, so that the Amons hiding in various places in Backlund cannot perceive the characteristics of this "parasite" and will not gather here at the first time.

Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, that will be the time when you can finally make a difference... Angel smiled and began to check the mirrors in the room one by one.

Not far away at 160 Böklund Street, three figures of different heights were outlined in the center of the third-floor bedroom of the wealthy Dwayne Dantès. As the teleportation effect ended, Klein and his two secret dolls returned to their home.

He had just had lunch at a restaurant in St. Hilland Square in the St. George district, and observed the "team-building activity" of another team of Tarot Club members. He was quite satisfied with their performance.

Of course, unlike Klein, Angel, and Leonard’s conspiracy against the avatar of “Blasphemer” Amon, the action of “punishing” a vampire who sold false information and put “Magician” and others in danger was proposed and presided over by “Moon” and participated in by “Justice”, “Judgment”, and “Star”. The level of the action was not high. The target was just a Sequence 5 “Crimson Scholar”, and the participants were all middle-sequence Beyonders. However, their cooperation was still ingenious and appropriate. It could almost be said that they kidnapped the target under the nose of a vampire earl and sent him to the Harvest Church to replace “Moon” Emlyn as a servant of the church.

Thinking of this, Klein couldn't help but laugh.

He sent the two secret dolls to do what they were supposed to do, and then walked to the balcony. In the afternoon sun, he looked at the not-so-busy Böklund Street, and suddenly noticed a carriage belonging to Congressman Macht's family passing by his door.

This immediately alerted Klein. His expression remained unchanged as he continued to twist the joints of his hands and feet, stretching his limbs after a nap. However, with his demigod-level intuition, a clear image of the carriage still emerged in his mind.

The girl in a light-colored long dress yawned boredly in the carriage, glancing at the cushion beside her from time to time.

There lay a gray-furred mouse, slightly larger than its peers, looking out the window with interest.

Gray mouse!
