The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

Female victim, brutal murder scene, all internal organs were eviscerated...

I don’t know if Edita was a street girl...but in order to save her brother, she may have made an unspeakable choice...

The symbolism of this scene was so obvious that it was difficult for Louise to explain that it was an accident.

She stood in the middle of this small living room, hiding in the shadows, silently looking at the middle-aged couple who were clinging to each other and unable to hide their grief. In front of them was the bloody scene scattered on the ground that people couldn't bear to look at. She was speechless for a long time.

.

Then, she performed a divination using Edita's blood:

"There are extraordinary forces involved here."

The result is beyond doubt.

Many details are piled up together, and the truth is ready to come out... This is the tragedy caused by the "devil dog", and it may be the first one.

Louise didn't even say a word to the dead maid, but Edita may have died because of her involvement.

A detail suddenly emerged in her mind. The "Apostle of Desire" who assassinated Duke Negan, the banker Jason Belial, had two faces...two faces in the true sense, because he had a human skin mask that could

Completely change your appearance.

Walter may be just a pseudonym for him...

Jason Belial has also trained a Sequence 6 "Devil Dog" and is seeking promotion. Could this be the beginning of a ritual?

I remember that the promotion ceremony of the "Apostle of Desire" is to kill people and eat their internal organs. The minimum is to kill 13 people, and the maximum is 49. The more complete the ceremony, the more likely you are to be promoted. The interval between two killings ranges from three to nine days.

...Calculating the time, it seems that now is exactly the time for the ceremony to begin.

So, the "Devil Dog" killed Edita... Was this a random target? Or was it directed at himself?

Louise didn't understand that in order to be promoted smoothly, the other party should deliberately avoid accidents. Why did she kill a maid next to her?

The madness deep in the heart of the "devil"?

Afterwards, she left the hut quietly.

…………

The next day, Backlund welcomed the long-lost sunshine. Although it was not bright, it could at least make people feel much better.

"Take out five hundred pounds in cash and deliver it to Edita's parents." Louise ordered the maid.

Although these five hundred pounds cannot heal the pain of "the white-haired man giving the black-haired man", it is enough to make the couple's life more stable and prevent them from going bankrupt due to an accident and living on the street.

It is difficult to tell whether Edita's death was an accident... Even if she did not die, there would always be an innocent woman killed by a "devil dog", but these five hundred pounds could at least alleviate some of Louise's guilt...

…

Later, before the "divinationist" lady was about to leave, Louise stopped her in time and explained:

"The commission to investigate Walter can be put on hold for now."

"Why?"

Katrin expressed confusion. Although no clues had been obtained yet, the commission had only been posted for a few days. It was normal to have no clues. Why did it suddenly give up?

Because Walter is probably just a fictitious code name... Louise was misled before. Fortunately, it is not too late to wake up now. She calmed down and explained:

"The commission continues to be pending and does not need to be revoked, but there will be no results, so naturally there is no need to spend more time investigating."

"In the past few days, I want you to pay attention to the recent trends of the Beria gang. The more comprehensive the better."

That gangster? Sure enough, do they have to be eliminated in the end? I knew it... Katrin felt that she had a much deeper understanding of Louise, and solemnly agreed:

"I see."

"Well, go ahead." Louise nodded and turned back to the living room.

She did not intend to confront Jason Beria, the "Apostle of Desire" of Sequence 5. That would be too risky, not to mention that the opponent also had a "Devil Dog" of Sequence 6... But it was precisely because of this that, in

During the critical process of "Devil Dog" being promoted to Sequence Five, Jason Beria needs to protect him, and it is difficult to spare extra energy to deal with Louise...

On the contrary, Louise had enough time and energy to plan countermeasures, so the Beria gang was lucky enough to become the first whetstone.

If you just eliminate a gangster, there is no challenge at all. However, Louise's goal is more than that. She also needs to digest the "witch" potion in the process, which requires a little effort.

…………

On Wednesday evening, Louise dressed up to attend the dinner held by the Hall family.

It is obvious that the Earl and Countess Hall have some knowledge in advance about the lady specially invited by their precious daughter, so they are no stranger to Louise.

"We didn't have much communication at the last dance. I must listen to your adventure story in the Southern Continent tonight."

"It would be my pleasure, noble Countess."

Louise acted dignified and in compliance with the etiquette standards, and then walked into the dinner hall.

He is worthy of being the leading banker in Loen, a member of the House of Lords trusted by the king, and the core figure of the new party, Mr. Earl Hall.

Tonight's banquet highlights a grand event. The banquet hall is decorated in a dazzling way, and the guests are all rich and noble. In comparison, Louise is not so conspicuous when she stands in the crowd... Of course, this is also

She deliberately restrained her charm. Who knows how many extraordinary people there are in this hall. As a "witch", it is better to keep a low profile...

Since Audrey has not yet matured socially, at this formal banquet, she did not follow her parents to greet the guests. Instead, she relaxed and chatted with acquaintances, and at the same time entered the "audience" state to observe, never forgetting

Play.

Soon, she saw the familiar and expectant figure from behind, so she apologized to her friend in front of her, turned around and walked towards the dining table.

“Dessert should be eaten after the meal!”

Louise was holding a cute and exquisite bunny cake and was about to put it in her mouth. When she heard the voice, she turned her head and saw Miss Justice standing in front of her with a sly smile.

"Don't you think this 'rabbit' is cute?" she asked.

"Then why did you still eat it?" Audrey asked cooperatively.

Louise took a small bite, swallowed the "rabbit head" and said, "It's cute, that's why it tastes delicious!"

Audrey tilted her head slightly and said with a smile:

"I like the gift you sent me very much."

"As long as you like it." Adhering to the principle of not wasting, Louise swallowed the remaining half of the cake in her mouth and said, "I have something better, I will give it to you another day."

"I'm looking forward to it." Audrey smiled sweetly.
