The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

Thomas's father was a viscount, but he was only the second son in the family and could not inherit the title. This was similar to the situation of Audrey's brother, Alfred.

It is worth mentioning that, perhaps because of this similar identity, the two have become good friends in Backlund. They joined the army in the same batch, but Thomas joined MI9 and came to Bayam, while Al

Fred went to the Southern Continent.

The red light of the setting sun shone on the headquarters building of MI9. Thomas finished his work day and got off work on time.

Back at the residence, the young housekeeper reported:

"Baron Best has left Bayam, and he sent a letter."

Are you leaving now? It seems very urgent... Thomas thought, and after opening the envelope, he found a familiar handwriting, written by himself.

The content of the letter remained intact, except that at the end of the letter, someone wrote a signature: Forever friend, Louise.

Thomas leaned back on the soft and comfortable sofa and looked up at the simple ceiling without unnecessary decoration. He didn't know what he thought of and smiled.

…………

At the same time, Louise, who had become a "witch", was standing alone on the bow of the "Purple Rose", looking at the endless sea and Byam, who had almost disappeared from sight.

Captain French had already said goodbye and left, apparently to greet other first-class passengers...

It is an interesting experience for people who have never traveled in first class in their previous lives to now enjoy the services of distinguished members and be personally received by the captain.

As Captain French said, the sea breeze did tend to get stronger gradually, blowing the long skirt on her body, clinging tightly to her skin and fluttering backwards, outlining her straight and slender legs.

The clear chirping of birds rang out, and when I raised my head, I saw a lone seabird hovering in the sky.

Seemingly finding its target, the seabird swooped toward the sea. However, what it picked up was not food, but a glass bottle.

This made it a little confused, and it almost forgot to flap its wings until the tips of its claws touched the sea surface, then it spread its wings and flew up. It also threw the glass bottle down ruthlessly and continued to float on the sea surface, not knowing where it would drift.

Louise witnessed the whole process clearly and smiled. She saw the paper in the glass bottle and thought, could there be drift bottles in this world...

Suddenly, she had an impulse to see what was written there, but she quickly shook her head, feeling amused by her boring thought, and then ignored it and turned back to the cabin.

…………

Louise's judgment was correct, it was indeed a drift bottle.

The owner of the drift bottle is also familiar to her, William Best, Joyce Best's father.

What is contained in the bottle is the evidence used by Charlie to investigate the missing persons case, which is the "William's List" mentioned by Major General Bright and the dead "witch" Ianna.

…………

This is a father's story.

William Best is a very sharp and capable person, otherwise he would not have been promoted to lieutenant colonel step by step based on merit.

By chance, he discovered that military personnel seemed to be involved in the missing persons case of Rosted, and his long-standing sense of justice forced him to catch this pest.

Therefore, William chose to pretend to cater to him. After a thorough investigation, he finally found the mastermind behind the scenes, Major General Bright.

During this period, due to his outstanding performance, he even received the title of Baron. This was his biggest wish in life... However, this also gave him a deeper understanding of the power that Bright represented.

, he realized that he could not bring down the opponent.

Therefore, William found an opportunity to reveal some information to the Church of Storms in an attempt to gain leverage.

But for some reason, this news accidentally leaked out, and he began to be targeted and even hunted by Major General Bright, and Diego was one of them.

In desperation, William had no choice but to hide the evidence he obtained in a glass bottle and throw it into the sea casually.

Afterwards, die calmly.

His purpose for doing this is simple, to check and balance... It is precisely because of this personality that William can often digest potions quickly. He is really suitable for the path of the judge.

William knew that after his death, those around him would be investigated by Major General Bright, which naturally included his son, the only heir of the Best family, Joyce Best.

However, it is impossible for the other party to find the evidence that he threw into the sea...

This constitutes a long-term deterrent. If the evidence is not found, Bright will never dare to take risks, and Joyce will not be in danger, because no one wants to see the result of losing both sides.

What's more, Joyce really doesn't know anything... He will inherit the title of baronet and revitalize the glory of the Best family.

Everything seems to be perfect, but there is a disadvantage in doing so, that is, Luoside's human trafficking cannot be stopped in a short time, and more innocent people will be harmed as a result...

For the sake of his son and family, William gave up insisting on fairness and justice throughout his life. Before his death, he felt self-blame, regret, and relief...

However, he never expected that Joyce would be taken away and transported through time!

The reborn "Joyce" did not live in a fragile balance like a doll as William imagined, ignorant and like a doll.

Instead, he made an even crazier choice. Although he didn't know anything about William, he keenly discovered this balance and used it to jump left and right, finally achieving his goal and winning a great victory.

Joyce did what William failed to do. Perhaps William's knowing soul would be pleased with this.

From this point of view, it seems that the "Joyce after traveling" is more like William's son than the original "Joyce"... Unfortunately, no matter what, she has now become a daughter...

…………

Louise had no idea what she had missed, but these things didn't seem to be very important to her.

Returning to the first-class cabin, she called for dinner service. The food was rich and tasted good. After all, the "Purple Rose" was a merchant ship, and its food reserves were one of its selling points to attract passengers.

What made her more curious was that the way the three of them ate was very strange.

When one person is enjoying the food, the other two people are watching, and then they take turns eating. Whoever is eating is responsible for communicating with Louise... It's like only one of the three can open his mouth... This

The negative effects are quite interesting.

Through this, Louise finally heard Quam Hajin's voice, which was equally rough and gloomy, with unconcealable malice.

"Is there nothing abnormal?" she asked routinely.

"everything is normal……"
