Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

"who is it?"

Joyce drew out the dagger reflexively and put on a fighting stance, but found that there was no one in the room except him.

"It seems that your 'Assassin' potion has been digested well."

The woman's voice sounded again, and Joyce frowned and asked:

"Emily?"

As soon as the words fell, a familiar figure appeared on the bed, it was Emily.

The clothes are thin, the fragrant shoulders are exposed, and the breasts are half exposed, and she is not in good condition, her face is pale, her waist and left arm are tied with bandages, and she looks seriously injured.

"Are you injured?" Joyce still frowned, but the meaning of the words was a little unclear, and the weapon in his hand had not been put down.

Emily didn't care, pointing to the wound and explaining:

"I went to verify the authenticity of the intelligence, and this is the price I paid."

"You went to Ianna's house?" Joyce put away the dagger and asked puzzledly:

"But she's obviously not at home tonight, how could you get hurt?"

"How do you know Ianna is not at home?" Emily blurted out in surprise.

"I went to a dinner party, and Ianna was also there. We chatted for a while, and she invited me to the dance party next week, but for some reason, she left suddenly halfway through..."

Joyce briefly described what happened, and suddenly reacted and asked:

"It's not because of you, is it?"

Emily stared at Joyce complicatedly for a while, then sighed and admitted, "That's right."

"Tonight, I sneaked into Ianna's house. Who knew that I accidentally stepped into a well-designed trap. After I escaped successfully, I met her just returning, so we had a fight."

"I'm not the opponent. I escaped with great difficulty, so I suffered a lot of injuries."

"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank the potion in your room, which helped me control the injury without getting worse."

Joyce said nonchalantly:

"Not worth anything, just bought it from a party."

"What did you gain from your exploration?"

Before Emily could answer, there was a knock on the door, and it was the maid who came to inform that the hot water was ready.

When he turned his head, he realized that Emily had disappeared again. The corner of Joyce's mouth twitched, and he turned and left the bedroom.

Joyce, who was supposed to enjoy the bath, was dispirited by Emily's appearance. It's not that he didn't want to see her. On the contrary, he was looking forward to this meeting, because only in this way could he get the potion formula of "The Instigator"... …

But she appeared in his bedroom so directly and blatantly, which made Joyce's low sense of security once again compromised.

"Tomorrow, someone will call Hunter the 'Provocateur' back. Although he is only a Sequence Eight, the combat power of the Extraordinary in the hunter path is absolutely trustworthy. Anyway, my 'Assassin' potion has been basically consumed, and I will not be able to do it again." Sneak out in the middle of the night to play."

To be honest, after seeing the injured Emily, the first thought in Joyce's mind was to kill her to get the Extraordinary characteristics... But he immediately became alert and quickly dismissed this thought.

Not to mention the high probability that he will be counter-killed, just to say that in dealing with Yianna, the two have the same purpose and can cooperate.

In addition, tonight's Emily is not only physically injured, but also seems to be in a mental state. I don't know if it is his own illusion... Joyce didn't dare to delay, quickly dried his body, put on a bathrobe and returned to the bedroom .

The gas lamp in the bedroom lit up the whole room. Emily was covering the quilt, leaning on the pillow and reading a book. Seeing Joyce come in, she put down the book and said:

"You're back."

How can there be a sense of déjà vu of a wife waiting until her husband comes home?

Joyce scratched his head to get rid of this weird feeling, but after getting under the covers and lying side by side with Emily on the bed, this feeling became more intense.

In order to break the embarrassment, he asked out of concern, "Is your injury serious?"

Emily commented with full experience:

"It's okay, it will be fine in three to five days, and there will be no scars left."

After all, she is a "witch", and her recovery ability is still good... Joyce thought about it, and heard that Emily did not stop talking, but continued to ask:

"Your reaction after hearing my voice was very exaggerated, and you came back relatively late, why?"

Anyone who hears a stranger's voice in their own bedroom will be nervous... Joyce slandered, and then replied half-truthfully:

"Someone was assassinated on the way back after leaving the dinner. Fortunately, I solved it."

"Do you know who sent it?" Emily asked.

"I don't know, but I will ask someone to investigate." Joyce did not want to dwell on this topic, and said instead:

"I found that Ianna's temperament is very similar to yours. Why?"

"Because we are Extraordinary with the same path." After saying this, Emily was silent for a while, as if making up her mind:

"Remember when I said that Ianna belonged to an evil secret organization?"

Joyce nodded, listening to her continue to introduce:

"The name of that organization is 'Witch Sect', and it holds the 'Witch' channel. Ianna and I were both members of the organization, but I left them on my own initiative."

"Why?" Joyce asked, with a hunch he'd have an answer.

Emily's pretty eyebrows are twisted with anger:

"Because members of the 'Witch Sect' discriminate against women."

ah? What is the answer?

I didn't expect you to have the consciousness of equality between men and women, so what kind of "witch" are you to believe in the goddess of the night!

"I don't quite understand it." Joyce said this with great sincerity.

Emily patiently explained in detail:

"'Witch Sect' has a notable feature: all the senior members of the organization are women. This is because the 'Witch' approach can turn men into women."

"Change gender! How is it possible!" Joyce always kept in mind that his image in Emily's eyes was that of an Extraordinary rookie, so his reaction was very exaggerated.

"It's true, I've seen it with my own eyes." Emily said with a complicated expression and some hatred.

Joyce noticed her expression, opened his eyes wide and asked:

"You wouldn't be too..."

"No." Emily interrupted: "I've always been a woman, that's why the 'Witch Sect' didn't accept my promotion request. They would rather turn a man into a woman and enjoy it than give me Potion formula."

Um, this is because "Original Witch Cheek" is a man promoted to God, so the "Witch" path is deliberately distorted...

So you are a woman, okay, okay, I always thought that I slept with a "witch" who was promoted by a man, and I felt at ease...Joyce thought so, his eyes still full of confusion:

"So you defected from the 'Witch Sect'..."

"Then why did you take the initiative to find trouble with Ianna? You shouldn't have run far away... Could it be to get the potion formula for the next sequence?"

"That's one of the reasons." Emily affirmed:

"A more important reason..."

"Ianna was my husband."
