Oops, I became the witch's substitute

The cat girl was confused: "I don't know if you are kind or not, but I steal from everyone..."

Fili interrupted: "No distinction between rich and poor? You are so equal, you won't let go of even the elderly and children."

The cat girl immediately got angry: "I only steal from rich people like you!"

Fili couldn't stand it: "What kind of logic is this? You just stole Carol's wallet, she looks like a rich person? Do you know how she saved all this money? She worked hard to run the alchemy workshop, only ate one meal a day, and repaired her clothes. She looks like she made her money bit by bit."

"Hey, why are you talking about this, kids don't understand." Because Carol was lazy and stayed at home, she was obsessed with research and was indeed lazy to the point of only eating one meal a day.

In this way, the thief and the person who was stolen exchanged opinions fiercely.

The more the cat girl spoke, the more powerless she became. She realized her mistake. She didn't identify the target of theft accurately enough and stole blindly. Although she was a little tough, she was sincere and bowed deeply to Carol to apologize: "I'm sorry, I thought you were rich people..."

Fili reached out and knocked on the cat girl's head: "It's still wrong. If you pursue fairness, there is at least a rule that those who don't work don't eat. Carol and I both have labor output. It's really wrong for you to steal from us, and your ideal target of theft is the rich who exploit others, right?"

The cat girl's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, that's true."

The cat girl lives in her own world and her thoughts are not mature enough. I don't know if it's because she struggles to make ends meet every day, so she has no time to think about these things.

After all, people like her can more or less go to Longchang to understand the truth for a while and then figure it out. Unfortunately, her own strength has hindered the progress of her thoughts. The thief who is born a hero is probably not something that ordinary people can catch.

After Fili was robbed, her first thought was to retaliate against the other party. Sending Catgirl to jail was her first choice. Considering that the prison level in this country is not very good, selling Catgirl and letting her help count money is obviously a better way.

Fili herself also has the mentality of being a fun person. Catgirl is obviously a tsundere. How can we quickly win her over to join the gang?

Catgirl scratched her head and turned to go to the next house: "Forget it, there is nothing to say to you..."

Fili asked: "If you ask me, your stealing skills are not good, and it is not meaningful."

Catgirl was immediately unhappy: "What did you say! You can look down on my identity as a thief, but you can't look down on my ideals as a thief."

Fili pulled up her sleeves and asked: "I'll take you to steal. Tell me, who is the richest person around here? Or do you have any target? Don't be afraid of how powerful the target is. There is no lock in the world that we can't pry open."

Carol's mouth twitched: "What are you trying to do? If it takes too long, Anila's body will smell."

Fili pulled Catgirl: "Come on, follow us, let's go to Anila first."

Anila's spirit poked its head out from behind Fili, and Catgirl was immediately frightened. Her pupils turned vertical, and her tail and ears exploded.

"Is this a ghost?"

"I'm still alive!"

"Why should I go with you?"

No matter what, Fili grabbed the cat girl and left. Such wild talents cannot be easily let go, and they must be won over as much as possible.

There are many alchemical puppets wandering on the streets of Bereda. Fili marvels at the life-size puppet technology here, and is also surprised at the exquisiteness of these constructs. In another world, they are more or less considered intelligent robots.

The puppets here have low-level intelligence. They have artificial spirits that imitate life in their bodies. They gain spirituality faster than machines, but they do not have the computing power of machines.

It is ironic that not far from the brightly dressed puppets, there are ragged wanderers. Those people lie lifelessly in the dark corners. When the cat girl passes by, she secretly drops a few silver coins while the people around are not paying attention, and pretends to be nothing and continues to move forward.

Soon, they arrived at Anila's house. This is an ordinary alchemist family. They live in an ordinary residential area and operate an inconspicuous alchemy workshop.

"Carol, take care of her and protect her. You wait here for me." Fili made some arrangements and then walked into the workshop.

There were customers wandering in the workshop, and the owner was doing business as usual. Fili pretended to shop and had a simple conversation. She confirmed that this was a family-style workshop and no outsiders were hired. The owner and his wife were busy, with no sadness on their faces, and it seemed that nothing had happened.

Fili came outside the shop: "Anila, are you sure that those are your parents?"

Anila glanced: "I'm sure, otherwise I'll go and yell for my parents?"

Fili pressed her hand: "Don't worry, I observe that nothing seems to have happened in your family."

As she was talking, the owner of the workshop called Anila, and the ghost Anila subconsciously replied. Fili hurriedly covered her mouth and stuffed it behind her back, hiding with deception magic, and then she and Carol stretched their necks to watch the reaction in the shop.

Sure enough, a living Anila came out of the inner room. Her face looked lifeless. Judging by preconceived ideas, it was a symbol of old age.

Carol took out a monocle: "Sure enough, the soul of the old wall lamp has gone there, and Anila's body has been occupied."

Fili suddenly realized, and was afraid that Carol would reveal some data such as the number of experience points.

Anila screamed helplessly in the field of deception: "Ah! How could this happen! Is that person my ancestor? Is there an ancestor who treats his descendants like this! I want to argue with her!"

Fili added: "It could be a man."

Anila squatted down holding her head: "I'm not married yet!"

Carol couldn't help but take another look at the ghost girl: "Is your focus wrong..."

Feili touched her chin, and then patted Cat Girl's tail. Cat Girl was startled, straightened her body and covered her butt: "What are you doing!"

Feili pointed to the people inside: "Actually, as far as we know, someone in this country has created a philosopher's stone that can take over other people's bodies. You have stolen from many people here. Have you ever encountered this kind of situation?"

This is one of the reasons why Feili grabbed the cat girl. As a thief, she must have sneaked into various places, seen various things and treasures, and maybe seen some secrets.

Cat Lady frowned: "I don't know much about it. Can you be more specific? If nothing happens, I'll leave..."

Feili took out two gold coins: "Let me hire you. This matter is very dangerous and important. To be specific, well, it is that someone's personality suddenly changes 180 degrees. The body is still the same as before, but as a person The way I deal with the world has changed, and I will even quickly come into contact with people I didn’t know before.”

Cat Lady was shocked: "I definitely thought of someone. She is Sister Hermes. She runs an orphanage. She is the only one. The orphanage has been financially tight, but with the help of neighbors, it can barely make ends meet. I also often go to help. , but just a few months ago, it was said that there was a war in foreign countries, and some nobles were eyeing the land of the orphanage, saying that they wanted to build a workshop to support the rebel army. They tried to buy it with various reasons starting last month, but they were all rejected. The nun blocked the way, but since last week, Sister Hermes has become a different person. Not only did she refuse help from me and other neighbors, but she also sent the children away for various reasons. She no longer prays every day and often leaves home early. I met some suspicious people when I returned home late, and I talked to her, but she also seemed very impatient, as if she didn’t recognize me.”

Feili asked: "Has there been any change in her?"

The cat lady nodded: "It seems like she is wearing a necklace. I have never seen her wearing jewelry before."

Feili nodded slightly and patted Carol: "You and Anila are here to stare at her body. Cat Girl and I will go to that church to have a look."

Anila hesitated: "Can I still return to my own body?"

Carol comforted: "Your current situation is probably because someone used the Philosopher's Stone to occupy your body and exile your soul to a far away place. You took this as a joke. The person who occupied your body must be quite capable. , in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, we need to analyze the working principle of this magic, and it is best to return you intact. "

Because she didn’t know where the Philosopher’s Stone was, or whether the other party had any back-up plans, or whether Anila’s soul would leave any sequelae, Feili planned to investigate again. It wouldn’t take too long, a day or two at most.

Chapter 209 You are also a thief, cat lady, you are so weak

In the Philosopher's Stone incident, among the currently known victims, Anila counts as one, the nun counts as one, and the identity of Philin was found by Miriam.

On the nun's side, Feili was led by the cat girl, and she quickly found the orphanage. After a brief inspection, she found that this was an orphanage converted from a church. Maybe the former missionaries carefully selected the address, but later they evacuated due to other reasons. I insisted that the nun should be a local, but when I went in, I saw that it was still the Arius Church.

In other words, this nun is considered a follower of Morrigan, and they have set their sights on the clergy?

"Visiting the orphanage, then I..." Feili walked into the orphanage. She didn't want to be empty-handed when entering a place like this. Out of basic sympathy, she just treated it as visiting the children here, and she also wanted to bring some candy gifts.

Just as Feili was reaching for her wallet, the cat girl next to her handed over a familiar wallet that belonged to her.

Feili was in a terrible mood. She took the wallet expressionlessly and found that there was no money missing. The cat girl was a little embarrassed.

Cat Lady scratched her face: "I just subconsciously stole it. After all, I came to the orphanage and came here. It was a bit embarrassing to be empty-handed. I only remembered that it was yours after I stole it."

Feili sighed with emotion in her heart: "How did you do it? Your strength and skills can only be said to be average. You can't tell that you have practiced advanced martial arts. Why didn't even I notice..."

The cat girl knew nothing about her own power: "Is this difficult? As long as I think about it, the wallets of people nearby can fall into my hands naturally."

Seeing her stupid look, Feili probably couldn't ask anything, so she changed her explanation: "Do you think that this wallet will definitely fall into your hands, and the theft process is not important?"

Cat Lady scratched her head: "Probably."

Feili applauded lightly: "Then your talent is quite strong."

If it is as Feili guessed, the cat lady's stealing skills may have some causal power, just like Su Qing and Zhen's special attack on Fat Ci, and the real life of God is to feed.

If Feili had such ability, she might have made a lot of money a long time ago. Then, if she was poor, she would be alone, and if she was rich, she would have a group of wives and concubines, and live a beautiful life in the world that she dreamed of.

The two bought some fruits and candies nearby, and then entered the orphanage to bring some small surprises to the children. However, after entering the orphanage, Feili felt that the atmosphere was not right. The environment here was too different from the environment described by the cat lady. Very deserted.

"Sister Hermes~! I'm here to help today." The cat lady entered the orphanage carrying two bags of food. She often came to help, but later she had a disagreement with Sister Hermes and ran away out of anger. In the following exchange Only then did Philly realize that she was a child who came out of this orphanage, "Sister Hermes, are you there?"

There was no one in the house, so the cat girl went directly into the back room and looked for people in the children's dormitories, but found nothing. The cat girl began to panic and had a bad premonition.

Seeing her wandering around the house with no idea, Philly had to secretly sprinkle magic dust to sense the traces of the original owner's actions, and then found Sister Hermes' room. There was a lock in the room, and Philly gently unlocked it.

Here, Feili saw the account books, and upon closer inspection, they turned out to be human trafficking. Most of the children in the orphanage were "disposed of" by Sister Hermes and sold to two different workshops for drug experiments. Several children's names were marked separately, indicating that they were adopted by different people, but Feili had already predicted the worst case scenario.

Fortunately, it doesn't last long, and there is still a chance to save it.

Feili's ears twitched slightly, and her magic power sensed subtle fluctuations nearby, so she reached out and groped on the wall and found a mechanism. After opening it, she pried out a small black box with two bottles of potions inside. A potion uses the power of deceit, and people who see it will use it first. Then they take the other potion, pour the liquid inside into a portable kettle, and put it back with ordinary water.

After finishing this, Feili suddenly heard crying and walked out of the room to find the cat girl kneeling on the ground crying.

"How come everyone is missing! I have been making money outside for too long, and everyone has been sold by that guy?" Cat Lady opened her voice, not afraid of being heard.

Feili felt a little distressed. After thinking about the other person's age, she didn't care and hurried over to comfort her: "Okay, don't cry yet. The children here have indeed been sold and the land will be transferred soon, but there is still time to save them. The question is where is Sister Hermes now?"

The cat lady clenched her fists: "I won't give in no matter what this time. I want to buy the orphanage! I will never let Sister Hermes continue to behave randomly. What happened to her?"

Feili pinched her chin: "To be specific, Sister Hermes herself may be in danger. The nun you see now is not her. She has been replaced."

In ancient times, a raccoon cat changed into a prince, and in another world, a film changed into a Feili. Now the philosopher's stone has begun to change into a living person. A certain witch's black cat demon will probably be very happy to see this.

"As for you, when things happen, you should calm down and don't cry or make a fuss. We are so lucky that we haven't had any trouble yet. But have you ever thought about whether you really have any ill intentions towards us? How can your crying attract those bad people? manage?"

Cat Lady stopped crying, wiped her tears, and looked at Feili with tears in her eyes: "Little sister, what should I do now?"

Little sister? Feili frowned and smiled. This is a strange title. Because the witch has a petite body, does she mean she is old by default? Or do you simply think she looks small but mature? No, she was just pretending to be a witch, not really claiming to be a witch, so she shouldn't care about such details.

Feili has memorized the account book and can write it down silently when she goes back. The most important thing now is to find Carol for help.

The two packed up their things and quickly returned to have a round with Carol. Feili handed the strange potion she found to Carol for inspection.

"Look, what is this potion with powerful vitality used for?"

"This is living water. It is an essence extracted from a special water element. Drinking it can maintain body activity. Now all the evidence points to them using the Philosopher's Stone to change their body."

Carol just poured out the liquid, looked at it, sprinkled some powder into the sample, and judged the ingredients.

"To put it simply, how do we define death? Brain death alone is not enough. In the era before the spread of magic technology, there were records of doctors rescuing people who were judged dead from drowning. There are many such records. Although Some become vegetative, but some barely return to normal." Carol gestured with her hands, roughly imitating the appearance of the soul leaving the body. "Current research shows that there is a special connection between the body and the soul. Once this connection is disconnected, no matter what. As long as the soul is still there, the body's heartbeat will stop, the bacteria in the body will start to multiply rapidly without restraint, and the body will decay. This living water is to inhibit this situation. "

Feili lowered her head: "So Anila should also be there?"

Carol shook her head: "Anila's situation may be a bit special. I also secretly observed it nearby. There is a high probability that the ancestors really took the body. Because the blood has special induction, the body makes wrong judgments, so the situation is not the same. This Sister Hermes is grim."

Feili asked again: "Now that the nun's soul has returned to her body, can she still be resurrected?"

Carol shook her head: "I can't guarantee 100%. As you know, the soul will wear out after leaving the body, but the soul of the priest should be more special. I guess there is still hope."

At this time, the ghost Anila appeared from the wall, and the cat girl was startled to tremble from the bottom of her feet to the top of her head, but the ghost girl was also panting.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Yes, that's right. I saw that I, who was not me, left with two mysterious people."

Fei Li circled around in her mind, quickly understood the information, and gave Carol a look, asking Carol to protect the rear while she went to attack the enemy's high ground.

Following the clues provided by Anila, Feili quickly found this group of mysterious people, followed them and quietly came to the hotel room. It seemed that nothing evil happened here, she just saw a transaction.

"How does your body feel now? Is there anything abnormal? Do you have any additional comments about the magic of soul reincarnation? No matter what, please write a report."

"So, what else are you hiding?"

"Sir Ron, the content of our transaction is that we provide the method and you provide the research data. Don't ask any questions about the rest."

"Hmph, okay."

Feili slowly opened the door. Under the influence of the power of deceit, she walked into the house as if nothing was wrong. She sat next to her as a third party and witnessed the process of writing their report. During this period, the mysterious duo and Ani Ra's ancestors also had a dispute over terminology. The former complained that the ancient alchemists were not rigorous in their wording and the line spacing and fonts in their reports were wrong, while the latter complained that the modern alchemists were not very capable and had a lot of problems.

Feili was convinced by them. They could steal other people's lives without any psychological barriers. Compared with these people, the cat lady's petty theft was not a heinous crime at all.

Chapter 210 I think Carol used to be famous

The atmosphere in the current room is gradually becoming anxious. It can be roughly described as the ancient alchemist master is writing a report, but the two young men beside him are pointing and pointing, occasionally teaching the ancient alchemist that there is a grammatical error here and a wrong line spacing there. The latter naturally cannot bear it. , even Feili who was watching couldn't help but frown.

If this were the irritable old man playing games in an Internet cafe, he would have thrown his keyboard at the stupid person.

"I can't stand it anymore! The alchemists of your era are not even good at basic formulas, but they are picky about the format of the report and the choice of words and sentences. Are you really doing research!"

"We just can't understand that you are also a famous ancient alchemist, and you can't even do details like the format well. What other research can you do well? You can really sort out the process of reproducing this great alchemy. !"

"This alchemy of changing bodies may still have flaws. I can create it if I were replaced! You must know that my soul has been well preserved!"

"Just because you are a master of souls, we considered resurrecting you! But you can't even write a report!"

"Fuck the report! Don't talk to me about the report again! The time you have to fix these fonts is better to study alchemy for a while!"

Before Fei Li took action, the two waves of people had already started taking action, but after they finished fighting, they still had to face the report. Fei Li overheard this and understood that behind the ancient alchemist and the two errand boys, There is also the man behind the scenes, who is a serious alchemist with power, wealth and influence, and is the ruler of Beleda.

"So this soul-possessing spell still has shortcomings? Can my descendants take back the body?" The ancient alchemist who occupied Anila's body was still a little worried.

The two alchemists looked at the report and glanced at her: "Yes, as outsiders, we can only help you take away your body. If you want to completely eliminate hidden dangers, you should find a way to convert the souls of future generations."

The principle of alchemy is equivalent exchange. Its essence is that matter will not disappear out of thin air, but will only be transformed from one form to another. Now that the body has been taken away by using the Philosopher's Stone, after considering various safety factors, the original cannot be changed immediately. The soul is processed and can only be temporarily exiled. Although it can be exiled to thousands of mountains and rivers, there is a chance of returning after all.

Therefore, those of them who occupy other people's bodies have to find a way on their own, such as trading the souls of their own offspring for anything, or simply asking a priest to send the original souls away.
