The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

Ikanser didn't need to look back to imagine the strange looks the team members were looking at him.

This is a question to which the answer "yes" or "no" is meaningless.

There was a long-lasting sadness on his face, and he said in a deep voice:

"It used to be."

"The answer is correct." The blood-red font on the surface of the silver mirror changed.

Ikonser sighed with a little struggle. He covered the silver mirror in his hand with a black cloth, faced the team members who were pretending to be nonchalant, and said:

"The murderers are one man, two women, and three Extraordinaries, all of whom are mid-sequence or even sequence five. They passed this news to the 'Nighthawks' of the 'Church of the Night'."

"Then, following Arrods' instructions, we split up to investigate the previous victims of 'Backlund Serial Murder and Dismemberment' to find out whether there were some secret connections and backgrounds behind them."

"Yes, Captain." The members of "Machine Heart" agreed uniformly.

…………

Evening, 59 Egram Street.

The crimson moonlight outside the window, illuminated by the light of the gas street lamp, suddenly became darker and thicker. The clouds and mist in the mid-air had dispersed, and the red moon, which was slightly larger than a semicircle, was clearly revealed.

Its outline quickly became plump, and in just a second or two, it turned into a full moon, as red as blood!

In occultism, this phenomenon is called a "blood moon". Although only two weeks have passed since the last full moon, no one can explain this unreasonable situation. It can only be attributed to the "goddess of the night".

Bad mood.

The rise and explosion of negative power brought about by the "blood moon" will bring benefits to some extraordinary people, but it will also bring unexpected pain to some people, such as Sharon and Maric.

Another example is Forsi...

She was sitting on the sofa in the spacious guest room, fishing and imagining the plot of her next novel, until she noticed that the moonlight shining through the window was getting thicker and redder.

It was another full moon, and the suicidal words came into my mind again, and there was no way to avoid them.

She fell off the sofa and struggled there with her body twisted.

After a while, she grabbed a lot of hair off the ground, but the pain did not relieve the symptoms that her head was about to explode, nor did it calm her agitation to end her life with a knife.

"Miss Louise is at home. Even if she turns into a monster, she won't hurt others... So you have to hold on, Forsi..." She whispered in pain, her legs twitching and stretching.

As if a drill was piercing his skull, Foer thought of Miss Louise's warning:

"Only with the blessing of the gods can we get rid of the full moon curse."

So, she chanted the name of the god she believed in with great difficulty, hoping to obtain salvation:

"The great god of steam, and machinery;"

"You are the Essence, the Incarnation;"

"You are the craftsman's protector;"

"You are the brilliance, brilliance of technology."

As he recited it over and over again, Forsi's pain never weakened, but became more and more intense.

Then, she began to recite the names of other gods.

“You are nobler than the stars;”

"The goddess of the night, older than eternity;"

…………

"The King of the Sky, the King of the Sea,"

"Lord of Natural Disasters, God of Storms!"

At this time, she no longer thinks about whether the gods will discover that she is a false believer. As long as the gods are willing to redeem herself, I will pay anything...

However, the pain still did not subside. Instead, it became more intense. Forsi, who could no longer bear it, frantically scratched the wooden legs of the sofa with his nails, scratching out deep marks one after another, and scratching out the teeth-breaking teeth.

Creaking sound.

Even if the evil god is willing to help me, I am willing to accept it... She recalled in a trance the evil gaze that Xio had attracted after reciting the honorary name. Recalling the name that looked like a god, Miss Louise flashed in her mind.

Words, chanting with unclear thoughts:

"A fool who does not belong to this age;"

"The mysterious master above the gray fog;"

"The King of Yellow and Black who controls good luck;"

"Help me, help me..."

…………

In the Jowood District, Klein had just been promoted to the "Magician" of Sequence Seven, and suddenly heard the echoing illusory prayers.

The voice sounded like that of a woman, and the voice was intermittent, and seemed to contain great pain.

"Who could it be?" He walked four steps backwards and came to the top of the gray mist, confirming that this prayer did not come from a member of the "Tarot Society".

Fortunately, she's not Miss Power, otherwise she wouldn't be able to do anything to force her to the point of asking for help... Klein thought with some relief. He moved his left hand a little, spreading out his spirituality and touching it.

A strange light circle with ripples.

The scene around him suddenly changed, and he saw an overturned coffee table, a tilted sofa, books and papers on the floor, and a brown-haired lady who was struggling like she was dying.

This is one of the two extraordinary people recommended by Miss Justice, but she looks like she is on the verge of losing control... Also, why does the decoration in this room seem familiar?

Well, you have to decide whether to save people, otherwise this lady will completely turn into a monster... Klein thought for a moment, and then allowed his spirituality to flow out crazily, establishing a solid mysterious connection with the other party.

.

…………

Forsi's thoughts became more and more confused. She seemed to see Xio appearing in front of her eyes, with a sad and tearful expression, clinging to Miss Louise's side, but the latter had no expression on her face.

The next second, she suddenly became sober, and all the hallucinations and pain disappeared, as if the ravings that almost killed her before were all imaginary.

Where is this? She looked around in astonishment and saw towering stone pillars and a majestic palace supported by stone pillars.

Immediately afterwards, she discovered that at the top of the long bronze table, there was a mysterious and unusual figure wrapped in thick gray mist that seemed to be overlooking everything.

"You are a god!" Forsi exclaimed, joy and fear coexisting, and then quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at that figure.

Klein was a little confused, why she, like Miss Power, called me a god when we met... Could it be that she is also a senior extraordinary person with rich knowledge of mysticism? But she only has Sequence Nine...

"How do you know I am a god?" he asked casually.

Forsi suddenly became angry and quickly replied:

"Because someone told me that only gods can help me get rid of the full moon curse."

"The full moon curse..." Klein pondered for two seconds and said, "That's not necessarily a curse."

Forsi opened his eyes wide, as if he wanted to get an answer.

…………

In the guest room, Forsi's body fell silent and lay messily on the ground, with a very unique shape.

Louise suddenly exited from the invisible state, smiled slightly and said:

"It seems there is no need for me to kill you, Forsi."

After that, her figure disappeared into the air again, leaving behind a dull words:

"Welcome, Miss Magician."
