The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

The footsteps outside the door were approaching quickly. There was no time to wait for Ove's extraordinary characteristics to be revealed. Joyce immediately pulled away and jumped out of the window with a decisive step.

An assassin who cannot take the leap of faith is not a qualified assassin... Unfortunately, there is no haystack, so Joyce had to take the initiative to roll twice to relieve his strength, using the dim night to hide himself, while continuous gunshots were heard behind him.

This was the reason why he had to escape. In the small bedroom without unnecessary obstacles, he had no way to avoid this wave of bullets.

Moreover, Ove's last rhetorical question also told him the answer: Ianna ordered him to spy on me.

The sound of gunfire faded away, and Joyce, who kept sneaking in the shadows, confirmed that he was out of danger. However, he did not slow down, but thought while running:

"Emily asked me to look for Ianna, and now I accidentally discovered that Ianna is also spying on me, and if my prediction is correct, the 'Witch Cult' she belongs to is still hunting Emily... This is a circle!

"

"I am really destined to be a 'witch'!"

"If this circle is expanded to include Crowe, Eric and Ove...haha, by coincidence, all three of them died in my hands."

"Clo ordered Eric to investigate me, and there is a portrait of Ianna hidden in Crow's home. Does this prove that Crow is also accepting Ianna's command?"

"This would explain why Emily asked me to kill him, because Crowe is also tracking her whereabouts."

"However, there is a question: Why is Ianna spying on me?"

"She learned that Emily and I were entangled, and wanted to use me to catch Emily? But she could obviously attack me directly... By the way, the 'Witch Cult' is cooperating with the royal family, and I am a baron.

This made her worried, so she only dared to send someone to monitor my every move."

"It's a pity that we couldn't get more from Ove. Based on the information currently known, we can only make this speculation, and it cannot be confirmed."

…………

After Joyce killed the people, he left calmly, leaving behind a terrible scene that caused great trouble for Ove's men.

In the afternoon, Boss Ove declared with high spirits that the boss of the "Gentlemen's Party" was dead. As a result, before he could wake up from his dream of becoming bigger and stronger, he immediately followed Eric's footsteps.

Who can I ask to explain this... Several of his men symbolically fired a few shots at Joyce as he disappeared into the night, with no intention of pursuing him.

What a joke, if someone who can even kill Boss Ove chases him and kills him?

They looked at the corpse on the ground and the unconscious sexy woman on the bed, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

After a brief silence, they decided to dispose of the body first.

Someone discovered a red gemstone, which was crystal clear. One of them held it in his hand and seemed to feel the warmth.

Suddenly, a charming voice sounded in my ears:

"What's going on here?"

Several people turned their heads in unison, and discovered that a gorgeous woman had appeared in the room. She first looked at the body on the ground, and then found the broken window, and roughly guessed what happened.

The woman had a dark mole between her eyebrows and black hair shawl, showing off her charm. It was Ianna, a mid-level "witch". With a slight hook of her finger, the red gem reached her palm:

"You guys go downstairs and wait for me."

Although several gang members didn't know the woman in front of them, they felt that her words made sense, so they lined up and went downstairs.

Ianna put away the extraordinary characteristics of the "warrior" and quickly arranged the psychic ritual.

In the spiritual world where the sky and the earth are indistinguishable, gray mist envelopes everything. She stretched out her hand and touched Ove's remaining spirit, while thinking silently in her heart:

"Ove's murderer."

"Ove's murderer."

…………

Then, a gradually clearer picture appeared in front of my eyes.

Ove raised his hands in the air and was forced to kneel on the ground at gunpoint. The owner of the revolver was wearing a funny clown mask.

"Do you know Ianna?"

"How did you know it was her!"

Ianna tried to see the man's true face through the mask, but failed. It seemed that the divination had been greatly interfered with, and even suffered some backlash.

She exited the channeling state, and Ove's spirit completely dissipated.

"Wearing a clown mask and possessing the ability to resist divination, maybe he is really a 'clown'? A member of the Secret Order?"

"That man is asking for information about me!"

Ianna murmured to herself, and suddenly thought of someone: Chloe.

"I haven't received any news from Crow in the past two days...has he found a way to lift the curse?"

"Even so, he should run away immediately. How dare he pursue me in the opposite direction?"

Then, she turned her gaze to the unconscious woman.

The results of the dream channeling showed that the woman had been given psychological suggestions, and as far as Ianna knew, Crowe did have a magical item that was passed by the audience.

"Is it really him? There is no reason!"

Yianna's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly, with a look of pity on her, she slowly went downstairs, looked at these nymphomaniac men, and asked about the details of the matter.

Several gang members scrambled to answer questions, beginning with the news that Eric was missing in the afternoon... and finally talking about hearing Ove's shout and rushing upstairs, watching a shadow jump out of the window.

After listening patiently, Ianna asked aloud: "Who is Eric?"

"The leader of the 'Gentlemen's Party' and Boss Ove have never dealt with each other." One of them spoke first, attracting glares from several others.

They were enemies of each other, but died on the same day... Ianna was keenly aware of the strangeness:

"Where have Ove and Eric crossed paths recently?"

Several people looked thoughtful, and soon, the man standing at the front brightened his eyes and said hurriedly:

"Boss Ove and the 'Gentlemen's Party' both sent people to monitor a baron, but none of the men sent out came back!"

Ianna blurted out because this was her order to Ove:

"Joyce Best?"

"Yes, that's the name."

Joyce Best, he really has a secret... Ianna thought without surprise and continued to ask more detailed questions, but unfortunately she got very little.

Her patience exhausted, she waved her hand, and several black flames appeared out of thin air. The expressions of several gang members changed from obsession to horror, and finally turned into a handful of ashes.

Before that, Ianna had disappeared.

Soon after returning to her residence, Ianna took out a box kept fresh with ritual magic from the secret room. Inside was the skin and blood belonging to Crowe.

She muttered words, and the black flame burned her flesh and blood, but she did not get any feedback. There were only two possibilities for this situation to happen.

"One, Crowe found a way to avoid the curse."

"Two, he's dead."

"Joyce Best..."

Ianna whispered, showing a bright smile.

…………

Joyce didn't know that he was being remembered as he was running home.
