Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

"The 'Fate Hermit Society' is going to explore the treasure of the Quaternary? The action is ahead of schedule, just tonight?"

There was a lot of doubt in Louise's tone. She looked at the "Seer" lady sitting in front of her, and asked with a frown:

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Katrin nodded, she seemed to feel the same way, and then she opened her mouth to explain the reason:

"It is said that the official Extraordinary noticed it, so the members of the 'Fate Hermit Society' have to explore and act in advance, otherwise the early preparations will be in vain."

This reason is quite reasonable, Louise didn't notice him, and asked casually:

"What about your plan? Do you need me to follow behind to protect you?"

Katrin raised her eyes slightly, ignored Louise's ridicule, and made a clear request:

"I suspect that there may be a demigod involved in this operation, so I hope that if you really encounter a danger that is difficult to solve, you can show up in time to save me."

Louise was noncommittal, confidently replied:

"As long as you don't meet an angel, I can guarantee you will survive."

This promise makes people feel very safe. Of course, Katrin believes in Louise's ability, so she stood up and said:

"Then I'm going to prepare, and I will meet up with my companions soon."

Louise waved her hand: "Go at ease."

In the dead of night, in an unknown mountain range on the edge of Backlund city, a group of people gathered in an open space at the foot of the mountain.

If it weren't for these people basically disguising themselves, it would still look a bit like an official Extraordinary team on a mission!

Everyone is called by code name, but Katrin's identity is just a follower, and the one who is in charge on the surface is the "Reaper" secret puppet controlled by her.

In this way, she doesn't need to rush to the front, she only needs to let the secret puppet show its ability, and the danger is greatly reduced.

As a "Seer", if she doesn't learn this way of fighting, then she must not be a qualified "Seer".

The reason why she sought Louise's promise was mainly because Katrin felt a little uneasy. After all, she was not a member of the "Fate Hermit Society", so it would be bad if she was blackmailed.

Although the escape ability of the "Master Puppet" is first-class, but there are probably demigods among the members participating in the operation tonight, so she has to put an extra layer of insurance on herself.

Probably because a lot of plans were made in the early stage, so tonight's exploration operation was quite smooth. Katrin only needs to skillfully stand in the safest middle of the team, and control the secret puppet from time to time.

All the harvest along the way will be collected and distributed after the operation is over. This is something that has been decided before.

Catherine observed secretly. She suspected that the guy who temporarily kept the exploration results was a hidden demigod, but she had no evidence, so she could only continue walking into the depths.

Although the building is hidden in the mountain, its structure is more like an underground palace, covering a large area. With Katrin's knowledge of mysticism, I can't tell the origin of the decorations along the road, but I feel that the building is a bit sloppy.

As the exploration deepened, the crises encountered became more and more strange, and even everyone lost their way at the same time. It took a long time to get back on the right road, only to find that the number of people was actually a few fewer.

Katrin's personal feeling is that there seems to be some kind of unreasonable rules hidden in the underground palace here, because she also found out that she and her companions were lost just now, but miraculously, her connection with Secret Puppet has not been broken .

This shows that Cai Cai's bizarre disorientation experience just now may be just a sensory experience. In fact, everyone has not separated, but the strange thing is that some people really disappeared because of this!

Excluding the possibility of them leaving on their own, and there is no time to kill each other, then the most likely result is that those who disappeared were swallowed by this underground palace?

There were some disagreements among the exploring crowd, but after some debate, no one was allowed to leave, and the remaining members had to all finish exploring.

This kind of compulsive order made Katlin's uneasiness even stronger. She began to wonder if this exploration was a trap, and she was ready to call Louise at any time.

The procession continued on, without encountering fatal danger for a long distance, until they came to a palace that seemed to be the core of the underground palace.

The palace is not luxurious, even a little plain. There are many murals engraved on the surrounding walls, but the content of the murals is quite simple. After reading for a long time, everyone couldn't see any key information, so they had to give up in the end.

After careful inspection and searching, everyone's attention was quickly focused on the luxurious seat in the middle of the palace.

It seems that the entire palace budget has been spent on that seat, and one looks at it and thinks it must be the throne.

Probing, someone finally chose to go to the throne, and as the first brave person stepped forward, everyone was unwilling to lag behind, but everyone stayed cautiously under the steps of the throne, and no one dared to continue to move forward .

Interestingly, this embarrassing situation did not last long. After a moment of hesitation, a man wearing a cat mask stepped forward and sat on the throne under many hesitant gazes.

Suddenly, the dazzling golden light flickered.

And after the golden light disappeared, the person sitting on the throne suddenly shouted in surprise and surprise:

"I've been promoted to Sequence Six!"

Can you get promoted after sitting for a while? There is such a good thing!

As if losing their minds, and completely ignoring the basic logic, everyone under the throne rushed towards the throne in the center like crazy.

But they all ignored it. The person who shouted for promotion just now had already disappeared, just like the few people who disappeared when he lost his way, as if he had been silently swallowed up.

Every time he yelled, it represented that a person had successfully obtained a promotion, but those who yelled never appeared again.

What's even more weird is that everyone wants to be on the throne, but there is no conflict between them. Everyone takes turns to sit in harmony, just like queuing up to share fruit.

Katrin kept her vigilance high enough, so she immediately hid in a corner of the palace, and just manipulated the secret puppet to blend into the crowd.

She was surprised to find that the connection between herself and the secret puppet had not been broken, but she could no longer control the secret puppet, because the latter was also crowded in the crowd, and seemed to want to sit on the throne once again.

Of course, Catherine was not the only one in the palace who cautiously did not step forward, and these people have one thing in common:

They are all guys who sneaked in through various means, and they are not members of the 'Fate Hermit Society', or to be precise, none of them are Beyonders of the 'Thief' path.

Catherine wanted to retreat, and slowly moved towards the exit of the palace, but suddenly found that she bumped into a person.

The vigilance has obviously been raised to the highest level, how could it be possible to bump into someone unsuspecting!

Shocked, before she could turn her head, a teasing voice came from behind her:

"Don't you want to try it?"
