The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

"What does this mean?" Joyce asked coldly.

"Balance" took off his hood and mask: "Mr. Baron, long time no see."

He clearly changed his voice on purpose and increased it by a few centimeters. Why is he so sure... Joyce asked back:

"How do you know it's me?"

“I have a strong talent in distinguishing different people.”

"Balance" said with a smile, as if he was greeting a good friend whom he had not seen for a long time:

"There is no need to hide between us. Are you satisfied with the information I gave you last time?"

"The power of the extraordinary? Arbitrator?"

Joyce thought curiously, slowly fading away the disguise on his body, and his brain teasers were turning rapidly. Why did he suddenly ask about this? Is the after-sales investigation? Is he asking, or is the person behind him asking?

Clow is already dead, and even replaced with a bounty... Well, maybe it was through this channel that he learned about Clow's death that he suspected that I had taken action?

Thanks to my sending Dean to deal with the body very promptly, and after the time limit, there will be no results for psychics, so I am safe... As for the "balance" and the people behind it, I have hidden my head and exposed my tail, so far it has not been

Trustworthy.

After careful consideration, he thought about the words and put on a less obvious mockery on the corner of his mouth:

"Ha, your report looks intimidating, but she... When I sent someone to visit, I found that 52 Pritz Street was not inhabited at all."

She? Who is she?

"Balance" keenly captured the change in Joyce's words, as if he had discovered a new world. This was the instinct of the agent, but in fact, this "she" was just Joyce pretending to be a suspicious array.

"How is it possible, my investigation guarantees that it is true."

"Balance" pretended to be exaggerated and tentatively said: "When she visited her one day, maybe Clow just happened to be not at home!"

Joyce was distracted and replied casually:

"The day after I got the report, as for what happened to happen, my people are not as unreliable as your report."

Don't care about Joyce's sarcasm, the question "Balance" was thinking: the next day? When I sneaked in that night, I found traces of the battle in the living room, and Clow's reward was taken away on the third day.

...

The time is consistent. Just looking at the angry performance of the Baron, it seems that he really doesn't know. Is he really just a message? The "she" in his mouth is the real person to do it?

Noting that Joyce had already shown impatience, "Balance" stopped asking questions, and instead smiled:

"Get some inspiration from your deal with that female member just now."

He said this just to hide his urgency: "If I could get the two materials you wanted in advance, wouldn't it be better to trade in person!"

"Prepare the materials one day earlier, and you can become an extraordinary person one day earlier, right?"

"This is pretty good." Joyce muttered, and after a brief thought,

"I haven't had time in recent days, but you should know my address, so please send someone to send it there."

After saying that, he got up and left, leaving the "balance" behind and stayed silently alone.

After leaving the bar gate, Joyce breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but sigh: It's so damn tiring to act!

His language and behavioral habits just now were imitating "Joyce" before traveling through time, with the purpose of portraying himself as an innocent and stupid young nobleman, serving a mysterious man, and thus obtaining a potion formula. As for the deeper story

Then I don't know anything.

If the "balance" and the person behind it are friends, then there will be no danger no matter what I say. If they are enemies, then let them with great powers check it. It is best to find Emily and fight

Both sides were injured, so I left the court calmly.

This kind of life of surviving in the minefield is very difficult, and I am always worried about whether I will accidentally fall into the abyss and then crush it to pieces.

Since the time travel, I have seemed to be surrounded by several whirlpools, and I was helplessly forced to follow the flow. I could only hope that the heavy rain would pass earlier, the wind would be calm, and the rain would be clear.

…………

What Joyce didn't know was that his performance was very successful and he got the expected results.

The report submitted by "Balance" reads:

"Joyce Best has obtained the potion formula from other sources and is currently looking for materials: an adult Manhat fish's eyes pair, fifty milliliters of black fish's blood."

"The information of the pirate Clow whom he commissioned to investigate last time was not voluntarily, but was dominated by a mysterious character. At present, only the mysterious character's gender is known to be a female. This judgment comes from a slip of the tongue by Joyce, and the authenticity remains to be discussed.

”

"I suspect there is a relationship between the above two."

"Joyce is still acquiring Quaternary antiquities for unknown reasons, even if he acquires it at a high premium. In addition, he lacks basic knowledge of mysticism and is seeking to make up for it."

"In the end, he seemed to have begun to doubt me."

The "balance" will seal the report and send it out secretly as usual, suddenly realize that he does not even understand the purpose of doing so. On the one hand, he must monitor Joyce's needs and behaviors, and on the other hand, he must also help him.

It is difficult to grasp a balance... Maybe I am no different from Joyce, both are pawns on the surface.

The report was passed down from layer to layer and was finally sent to the headquarters building of MI9 the next morning.

According to convention, the report of the informant "balance" will be sent to Thomas, and then he will screen out important information and hand it over to his superiors.

However, the report did not pass by Thomas's hand... This was something he only knew when he was called to the office the next morning by the commander.

"Joyce Best got the potion formula through other channels. Do you know about this?"

When Thomas heard the question from Chief Scarface, the first thought that he had found was that the information about the School of Life he had read was exactly in line with what Joyce said.

According to Joyce, this knowledge was learned from a note left by his father, and it was not a bizarre thing to record the potion recipe on the notes.

Thomas recalled it seriously for a moment before answering:

"I don't know, sir, maybe he happened to join an extraordinary party, which is common in Byyam."

"Well, that's right, this will save us from wasting time." Chief Scarface said in agreement:

"Your relationship with Joyce is good. Young people should communicate more, especially for a new extraordinary person, who can provide him with more help."

Thomas thought that it might not be necessary for anyone to help whom, so he agreed:

"I understand, sir."

The Scarface Chief nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "Go to work."

"The news came from Dongbailang that the members of the Rose School who were hunted have fled to our territory. Both sides have to cooperate in handling cases, and they may be busy recently."

"Yes, sir."

After Thomas left, Scarface held the information and muttered to himself:

"Audience path, a mysterious figure suspected to be a woman, the Psychological Alchemy?"
