Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

Sophia found that there was something wrong with Mr. Baron today.

After he came back from the Rorsted Club, he locked himself in his study and did not allow anyone to disturb him... Also, Mr. Baron went to bed very early today, looking very tired...

Thinking about it, this change dates back to Tuesday this week, when he was insane and made a mess of the room, which made me wonder if he was suffering from mania, but in the next few days, Mr. Baron Behaving normally...

Don't think too much, Sophia, do your job well... She wrapped herself in a warm quilt, patted her tender cheeks, and slowly fell asleep.

The night was dark, and the whole city was shrouded in a dim crimson moonlight. The gas lamps on the side of the road flickered non-stop, as if to frighten pedestrians walking at night.

Joyce was dressed in black, with a revolver on his waist, and a dagger-shaped "Oath-Backing Blade" on the other side, walking in the shadows of the night, as if returning home.

If it wasn't for low profile, he even wanted to put on a cloak.

He's going to Pulitzer Street, to check on Crowe's house... Bah, what's the point, and he's not a thief... He plans to observe the terrain and confirm the authenticity of the survey results given by "Tianping". An old saying: Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in all battles.

Although tonight was just a pathfinding investigation, he still carefully armed himself, after all, only if he was alive would he be able to output.

The most exciting thing he ever did in his previous life was to enter a haunted house. Now that he has directly upgraded to assassination, Joyce, who was a little nervous, began to diverge his thoughts. While driving in the shadows, he thought about the problems he discovered when he was making plans in the afternoon.

"Witch" Emily said that Crowe used to live on Enmat Street, and the investigation report obtained from "Tianping" also proved this, but he moved to Pulitzer Street now, why did he move away?

Moreover, the distance between Enmat Street and Pulitzer Street is not far... In addition, there was no mention of Emily in that very detailed report, which made it even more difficult for Joyce to understand the purpose of the "witch"...

52 Pulitzer Street... Found it, it is impossible for a person with dark vision to get lost in the dark.

The house was pitch dark, with no lights, which was in line with his guess...Joyce thought of what was mentioned in the report, that Crowe had a pathological pursuit of girls and boys, and he had harmed many children during his pirate career, and he restrained himself after retirement. Many, usually spend money to solve the needs, and often stay out at night.

It seems that my luck is good...Joyce said happily, still maintaining vigilance, looking into the house through the glass window, the living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom... There is no one.

He opened the window carefully, controlled not to make a sound, and noticed a card falling from the crack of the window while concentrating on it.

There are organs! Is there an ambush?

This was Joyce's first reaction, but he immediately realized that there was no one in the room, so he kicked his toes hard, jumped onto the window sill, and reached out to grab the card that was still falling.

A figure dressed as a clown is drawn on it.

A joker card in poker.

It's not a trap, it's just an early warning...Joyce breathed a sigh of relief, jumped lightly, landed lightly on the ground, flipped the joker card over, and found nothing special...But if the visitor is careless, Or without dark vision, it is likely to be ignored, leaving traces of someone coming.

It's still cautious, but it's a pity that I met me, a more serious "assassin"... Joyce observed the layout of the living room and analyzed where he could hide.

The location of his planned assassination is in this living room. After all, no matter how cautious a person is usually, he will subconsciously relax his vigilance when he returns home. That will be the best time to do it.

This is all useless knowledge I learned from reading novels in my previous life, but I didn't expect to use it now.

A gas lamp is installed in the room, and the switch is on the left hand side of the door... The lighting in the living room is not very good, and the stairs can hide, but it is too far away from the door, and the railing at the boundary between the first and second floors can bear its own weight. But time cannot last.

After a scene simulation in his head, Joyce felt that the plan was feasible, but when he was about to leave, he keenly heard unreal footsteps coming from outside the door.

Looking out through the crack of the door, a middle-aged man with silver-rimmed glasses was walking towards this side, it was Ke Luo.

At this time, there are two paths before Joyce. The safest option is to leave immediately. Even if Crowe finds out, there is a high probability that he can escape successfully by relying on the darkness, but the subsequent assassination will be more difficult.

The other way is to break it when it is broken, and do it now, but Crowe did not spend the night outside against the norm, maybe he discovered something?

After a brief hesitation, Joyce made a decision.

…………

Crowe is a "clown".

His past has been clearly described by the "Balance" investigation report.

The difference is that he can survive till now not by luck, but by divination and prudence.

After discovering that he is famous, he resolutely chooses to quit the pirate industry and use a magical item to get rid of the trace.

After retiring, relying on the wealth accumulated in his pirate career, he lived well in Bayam until he was forced to join a secret organization: the Witch Sect.

He got the hope of being promoted, but he also lost his freedom... If he didn't know that someone in the organization could curse from a distance, Crowe would have left long ago... Even a pirate would not know the fate of believing in evil gods.

Today, as usual, he passed on the news he received, and then went to the "Red Theater" to seek pleasure.

After talking with the familiar girl, the girl suddenly said that someone came to ask her about herself, and Crowe suddenly became alert. He thought of the assassination a few days ago. Although he was safe and sound and severely injured the assassin, but He moved his residence cautiously.

Wasn't that assassination accidental? Someone is targeting me?

He immediately took out the crystal and started divination:

"I'm in danger today."

"I'm in danger today."

...

After seven times in a row, the crystal turns clockwise, neither fast nor slow, indicating that there is no danger today.

After seeing the satisfactory results, Crowe was relieved, but his natural prudence prompted him to leave regardless of the girl's persuasion, and decided to move to another residence immediately.

Along the way, he was always careful to guard against possible dangers at any time. Fortunately, he arrived at his residence safely.

Inside the house was pitch black, exuding the tranquility of home.

Divination saved me again... Crowe turned the key to open the door, stepped into the door half a step, turned on the gas light switch, quickly looked around, and found that all the small organs left by him remained the same, so he was really relieved.

The moment he turned around and closed the door, the light flickered twice, then went out, and the room became pitch black again.
