Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

Brad was so frightened that the hairs on his body stood on end.

Audis looked up and said, "This old fellow has been hanging up there for quite some time. Look, he's almost turned into a mummy."

Brad was on the verge of tears: Whether he's turned into a mummy or not is none of my business!

"Let's go quickly."

Audis urged again, "We must reach that village before Eleanor catches up with us."

Having said that, he didn't wait for Brad and turned to leave.

Brad quickly followed, noticing many corpses in the woods, suspended by black, hair-like things, swaying back and forth as if on swings.

At this point, Brad didn't feel tired anymore.

Afraid that Audis would abandon him there, he used all his strength and potential to keep up with the person in front.

"It seems you didn't carefully investigate before buying this castle."

Audis, walking ahead, said, "Some of the people hanging above our heads have been there for over a decade, while others haven't even started to decompose yet.

"People around here must often go missing."

Brad didn't have the strength to speak, but while surprised, he tried to keep up with the figure ahead.

After walking for another half an hour, just as Brad couldn't walk anymore, their eyes suddenly opened to the graveyard that Audis had reached during the day.

Audis was slightly stunned: "Oh, we actually walked out just like that."

Originally, he wanted to wander around inside a few more times.

Although the corpses hanging inside made one feel a chill on their head, it was actually a good way to delay time.

Brad was sweating profusely.

He sat on the ground, panting for a while, before looking at the surrounding graves and asking, "Where is this?"

Audis smiled and said, "Miss Eleanor's home."

Brad swallowed, suddenly feeling a chill down his back, not hot at all anymore.

Audis warmly invited, "Come, come, say hello to Eleanor's family.

Perhaps you can even find Eleanor herself's grave among the tombstones."

Brad was trembling with fear, his face already as white as a sheet.

At this moment, a harsh "creaking" sound suddenly appeared in the graveyard, like the sound of opening damaged doors, or as if something wooden was being lifted.

Then, one hand after another stretched out from behind the graves.

Some of them had only bones left, while others still had decaying flesh.

It seemed they often climbed out of the graves, each one familiar with the process, quickly standing beside their own tomb.

Audis reached into his backpack with one hand: "Look, they're so enthusiastic, coming out to greet us!"

He smiled and said, "No need to be so polite, going back to lying down is the best way for you to treat guests."

Brad felt his legs trembling, and a warmth in his crotch as liquid flowed down to his feet.

Then, there were also strange noises in the woods.

Brad used the moonlight to see the corpses on the trees slowly crawling down, surrounding them.

At this moment, after extreme fear, Brad didn't feel so scared anymore.

At worst, he would just die here.

"My grave is not here."

Eleanor came out of the woods, followed by the castle's butler, head male servant, and other servants.

Eleanor coldly said, "Many people wanted me to die, but in the end, I survived and built graves for those who wanted me dead."

Audis looked at the surrounding corpses and the spirits emitting a faint white light that Brad couldn't see.

They were completely surrounded.

But Audis remained calm.

Since Eleanor had appeared here, it meant that official extraordinary support was coming soon.

She planned to deal with Audis and the others before leaving, or perhaps going to deal with the official extraordinaries.

So Audis said, "If I'm not mistaken, you set the fire in your village twenty years ago, right?"

"Yes!"

Eleanor admitted frankly, "They said I had sold my soul to the evil god and wanted me to die!"

She laughed and said, "These people are so ridiculous.

When I was young, they were the ones clamoring to find ways to become stronger.

When I found a god who could make people stronger, they said it was an evil god.

There was nothing I could do but sacrifice them to the god, letting them die in pain one by one.

Then, I built a graveyard here and buried them one by one, so that even after death, they would still be controlled by me and never escape!"

Audis frowned and said, "You are an extraordinary of the 'witch' path, seemingly a Sequence 6, but this path doesn't have the ability to control corpses and spirits, right?"

Eleanor smiled and said, "This extraordinary world has many, many secrets, more complex and bizarre than you imagine."

She paused and then said, "Continuing to waste time is meaningless.

It will take a long time for your companions to find you, and I am confident that I can eliminate you within a minute."

"Wait a moment."

Audis said, "Why haven't you killed Brad all along?

Let me guess, is it because you want to use him to attract more people here?"

Brad felt his body regain strength when he heard Audis suddenly mention him, and he got up and pulled out the dagger he had prepared long ago.

"That's right."

Eleanor smiled and said, "For more than a year, he has been constantly sending servants here, which is why I can control such a large force.

However, he himself doesn't know this.

Although the pendant on his body protects some of his sanity, he has been in a state of being 'bewitched' by me.

Only when he is a little awake does he think of saving himself."

Brad clutched his head: "I… I killed so many people?

I didn't even realize it."

As he spoke, he held the dagger and quickly stabbed Audis in the lower back.

But Audis seemed to have eyes in the back of his head.

He suddenly grabbed Brad's wrist with his backhand, and then shook it hard, causing the dagger to fall to the ground.

Then, Audis pushed Brad down and didn't even look at him: "I always thought there was something wrong with him, but now that his sneak attack has failed, your 'bewitchment' ability has ended."

Brad stayed on the ground, as if recalling what he had just done.

Eleanor smiled and said, "I don't know how powerful your witchcraft is, but you are indeed quite clever."

Few people can dodge a backstab from a companion.

But Audis's cleverness was already meaningless.

Eleanor raised her hand, and the surrounding corpses and spirits surrounded Audis together.

"I want to correct some of your thoughts just now,"

Audis took out a red ax from his bag: "I think the official extraordinaries should be able to find us soon."

As he said this, he threw the "Flame Bomb" in his hand towards the altar.

Eleanor smiled slightly and pointed her hand.

A skeleton jumped up and caught the ax.

No mistake, one head, one first, one inside, one appearance, one at a time!

Boom~

A violent explosion sounded, and a pile of corpses were blown over.

The skeleton that caught the ax was directly blown to pieces, and many corpses were ignited by the flames.

However, they didn't feel any pain.

With flames burning on their bodies, they were still silently moving forward.

The dazed spirits were also affected by the explosion, lying scattered there.

For a time, a gap was created in the encirclement.

This explosion made Brad suddenly come back to his senses.

The motivation to survive gave him strength again.

He seized the opportunity and ran towards the gap in the encirclement.

The official extraordinaries in the distance must have noticed this as well.

But Audis didn't rush towards that gap, but instead rushed towards Eleanor.

He raised his hand: "Imprisonment!"

Eleanor was also startled by the explosion just now.

She had seen explosions before, but never such a violent explosion.

The key was that the explosion came from an ax, which was very surprising.

When Eleanor came back to her senses, she was already surrounded by viscous liquid and fell into a state of "imprisonment."

Audis rushed close: "Death!"

He stretched out his fist and slammed it hard on Eleanor's left shoulder, smashing her left shoulder into severe deformation.

The "Death" of a "Punishment Knight" cannot be avoided with a substitute.

But Eleanor suddenly smiled.

She grabbed Audis's fist with her uninjured right hand: "If I were just an extraordinary, I might have died at your hands today!"

She glanced at the head male servant in the nearby castle.

The head male servant suddenly became lifeless and fell to the ground.

Eleanor's injuries were miraculously healed!

Audis widened his eyes.

He had never seen this kind of extraordinary ability before, but he still remained calm: "Exile!"

The newly healed Eleanor was pushed away by a huge force.

In the blink of an eye, she was very, very far away from Audis.

Audis turned his head and ran towards the gap in the encirclement of corpses and spirits, but that gap was already about to be closed again.

Audis took out another "Flame Bomb", threw it out, and hid behind a grave.

Boom~

The shockwave of the explosion made Audis's ears ring.

He rolled and crawled forward, escaping from that gap.

After leaving the encirclement, Audis saw Brad standing there blankly, staring at the altar in a daze.

Audis stepped forward, sprinkled a handful of "Flight Powder", grabbed Brad by the back of his collar, and flew up.

While flying up, Audis threw another "Flame Bomb" towards the altar.

From beginning to end, Audis didn't dare to look at the symbols on the altar.

Even so, Audis suddenly felt very guilty after throwing the "Flame Bomb" over there, as if he had done something terrible.

Rumble~

The huge explosion brought Audiss back to his senses. He saw the thatched shed burn and collapse, and the altar was destroyed.

Audiss had just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly felt a force pulling himself and Brad downwards.

Having escaped the state of "exile", Ainorin had some spider silk in her hand. She was like a venomous spider waiting on its web, pulling Audiss and Brad closer and closer to herself.
