Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

"It's really a devil..." Daly, the psychic, sighed softly.

In the cement of the basement, in the thick walls, and in the overgrown weeds of the garden, there are corpses hidden one after another. The earliest may be traced back to more than ten years ago, and the latest are those who were still alive a few days ago servants.

Even experienced "Nighthawks" will be filled with righteous indignation when they see this kind of behavior of brutally killing and dismembering ordinary people just to satisfy their inner desire to kill.

"Captain, come quickly and take a look." One of the "Nighthawks" greeted on the way to inspect the scene.

The serious-faced middle-aged captain walked over and saw the corpse on the ground and the remaining internal organs scattered around. He pondered for two seconds, and the team member's guess came from his ear:

"This is very similar to the corpse of the victim in Backlund's recent 'serial murder and dismemberment case'. Both are young women, and their internal organs have been hollowed out..."

The middle-aged captain naturally also thought of this, and had some guesses in his heart, or he realized:

"Could it be that the murderer of the serial murder case is a real 'demon'? With his foresight of danger, he can successfully escape the pursuit of his own side and the 'Mechanical Heart'?"

"Then why did it die at home? And who killed it?"

Thinking of this, he turned his gaze to Miss Daly wandering in the garden, and asked:

"Is there any gain?"

"Yes, and it's huge." Miss Daly replied seriously: "The power left over from the battle is rich and messy."

"In addition to the evil power of the 'demon', there are also the remnants of desire and lust, the power of rules and twists, the coldness of wraiths..."

After listening to the narrative carefully, the middle-aged captain raised his eyes to Miss Daly and asked:

"You mean... 'shepherd'?"

The battle with Mr. "Shepherd" A has just passed, and the "Nighthawks" team will naturally not forget that painful lesson, and even the missing team members who died because of that battle have not been filled... In my impression, Mr. A has indeed used the extraordinary abilities of "Demon" and "Witch of Pain".

Daly did not give a definite answer, but described sideways:

"If it wasn't the 'Shepherd', then the murderer who killed this 'demon' should be a team of Beyonders, and the members of this team are all mid-sequence Beyonders."

Isn't that even higher than the configuration of "Red Gloves"! Killing a "demon", how could it be possible to send an extraordinary team composed of an entire mid-sequence... What's more, apart from the three major churches, which secret organization has the ability to organize such a team in Backlund? Even if there is, it will never be exposed in advance because of a "demon".

"What you said is very reasonable." The middle-aged captain agreed, and then he was a little confused: "Why did Mr. A kill a 'demon'? Could it be revenge for the matter of Lanwusi? Speaking of which, A Mr. has been behaving strangely lately..."

"Captain, there are new discoveries in the room."

A team member's call interrupted the captain's thinking. He walked quickly to a secret room on the second floor, and found some spiritual materials used to hold evil rituals, and a pure black badge with a pentagram and a pentagram on it. Combination of ram horn abstract symbol.

"'Blood Worship', the Beria family." The experienced middle-aged captain made an accurate judgment: "It seems that the real name of this banker Patrick Jason should be Jason Beria."

After a while, the team members who had finished checking the scene got together and found no other directional clues.

The middle-aged captain finally decided: "Notify the police to seal the house, and after returning to the church, report the case to the 'Mechanical Heart', saying that the murderer who caused the serial murders is a real 'demon', but it and His masters are dead."

The murderer was probably the "Shepherd"... He kept this guess, not out of self-preservation, but because he didn't want to influence the judgment of the "Mechanical Heart".

…………

Afterwards, the second wave of Beyonders, the "Mechanical Heart" team, ushered in this villa.

The leader was a man with a hard-lined face, but with fluffy, messy, stubborn brown hair.

He held an ancient silver mirror with strange patterns in his hand, with black gemstones decorated as "eyes" on both sides of the mirror.

As Ikanser Bernard, who had been chasing the murderer of the "serial murder and dismemberment case", as soon as he got the news, he quickly retrieved the sealed artifact and came to the scene of the crime.

He came to the garden, picked up the silver mirror, stroked the surface three times with his right hand, and said in a deep voice:

"Dear Arrods, my question is, who were the two sides that fought here before?"

On the surface of the silver mirror, there is a strange flow of water and light, which gathers a scene:

A man covered with sticky black "fluid" was squatting on the ground. He looked badly injured. He had high cheekbones and a pair of cold blue eyes. He was Jason Beria.

And in front of him stood the back of a woman who could be seen vaguely, and standing behind her on both sides were the back of a man in coarse cloth and a woman in a gothic dress. They had very much in common. Vague.

Four people, two men and two women, the simple composition perfectly highlights the figure of the woman in the center, noble and mysterious, the surface is covered with a layer of gray mist, making it difficult to see the specific image, and there are some strange scenes in a trance. The mood of admiration... Ikanser didn't think too much, because words as bright as blood were being drawn on the mirror:

"According to the principle of reciprocity, it's my turn to ask questions. If you lie or fail to answer, you will accept the task I arranged or be punished."

"When in front of you there is a woman who is completely in line with aesthetics, and another man who is elusive, which one will you choose?"

Huh... Ikanser took a deep breath, and he replied:

"It's up to who chooses me."

The mirror seemed to be silent for half a second, and then a line of writing appeared, and the color was no longer blood red:

"Not an answer, but a good one."

Ikanser was very surprised. Adros seemed a little different today. He didn't ask strange questions, and he didn't strike himself with lightning. Wait, it seemed that he said "male" just now... He looked at him a little stiffly. Among the teammates around him, some of the latter swallowed lightly, and some even took half a step back.

Ikanser, who was already resistant to this, quickly regained his composure. He wiped the mirror three times again, and said:

"Dear Arrods, my question is, why was Jason Beria killed?"

Soon, the picture on the mirror suddenly darkened, as if a dark cloud happened to pass by nearby, and the surface was flowing with water, quickly condensing a slightly blurry picture:

It was a dilapidated female corpse with all internal organs hollowed out.

One of the women who were serially killed by the "demon" recently... Could it be that Jason Beria killed a woman who shouldn't be killed, but he didn't expect that there was a powerful Extraordinary behind the deceased, and was found by someone? To die of hatred?

Ikanser is very familiar with this case. He has investigated the identities and relationships of all the victims. They are all women in the middle and lower classes of society. How could they be connected with three powerful Extraordinary beings!

Then, a blood-red problem appeared on the surface of the silver mirror:

"Is that unattainable man in your heart one of your colleagues?"
