The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

A ball of pale blue flame was burning in the palm of Louise's hand, as if she was destroying something. After listening to the maid's report, she thought for a moment, and then simply refused:

"Reply to Miss Audrey and say that I have other arrangements for tomorrow and I'm sorry that I don't have time to attend the appointment."

"Okay, miss." Sofia bowed and agreed, then exited the room and closed the door.

When the flame in her palm was completely extinguished, Louise moved the corners of her mouth unnaturally and thought to herself: "Russell Memorial Exhibition?"

"You know, Bernadette will be fully participating in the Russell Memorial Exhibition tomorrow, and she just tested herself in her dream. How stupid am I to take the initiative to hit her..."

"What's more, I do have more important things to do tomorrow."

…………

The next day, the Russell Memorial Exhibition opened as scheduled. The "Church of the God of Steam and Machinery" was no longer involved with the "Devil Dog", and even dispatched a fully armed "Machine Heart" team to ensure the success of the exhibition.

went smoothly.

Louise went out alone and came to a completely unfamiliar and empty place.

However, there is an old acquaintance of hers here, the envoy of the "Aurora Society", Mr. "Shepherd" A.

"Why did you come to me? You're not going to attack the Nighthawks so soon, are you?" Louise looked at the surrounding environment with a relaxed expression and asked.

Mr. A glanced at her and asked something unexpected:

"There are only two of us here, there is no need to test."

Louise was startled for a moment, then moved her fingertips slightly to retract the invisible thread that had just spread out. Her expression was calm, as if nothing had happened, but she was also certain of one thing:

"Mr. A possesses the extraordinary characteristics of the "Pain Witch"."

"Then let's talk about business." She said bluntly: "I declined an important invitation, so I took the time to see you."

"Come with me." Mr. A said calmly, then turned and walked towards the house in front of him.

Louise was slightly surprised. Through the test just now, she had basically explored the entire house in front of her. There was no one inside. It must have been abandoned for a long time... Could it be that there was a hidden dark room inside?

Associating with the lunatics of the "Aurora Society" would not allow her to be careless.

Taking a deep breath, she stepped into the house. The light suddenly dimmed, and the furnishings in the hall were very simple... She found that Mr. A was already minding his own way to the second floor. Louise had no time to look at it, so she followed closely.

Go up.

Passing through the corridor on the second floor, pushing open a wooden door, Mr. A stepped aside, allowing Louise to see the furnishings in the room.

There was no furniture, it was empty, and there were only two "people" in sight... no, it should be said that it was one person and one statue.

When Louise saw this scene, she was almost frightened out of her wits, and almost turned around and ran away, because the statue was embedded in the wall, and the image was a figure hanging upside down, which was clearly the statue of the "True Creator".

Fortunately, Klein reminded me in time that I did not carry the magical item of "Bishop Rose" with me, otherwise I would most likely be buried here... Louise felt a little lucky in her heart, and then she moved her gaze to the "Reality" in front of her.

The statue of the "Creator", with his back to his "man".

The image from the back is of a man. He is wearing a simple linen robe and has long silver-white hair. He turns around, revealing a beautiful face with soft features. His eyes are indifferent, as if there is no focus, and even the entire

No one seems to exist.

Louise's body couldn't help but began to tremble slightly, her back straightened, her hands clenched into fists, and she seemed to have forgotten to even breathe.

"You know me." The man said, his tone was straightforward and without any waves.

Louise did not dare to take any chances. She bowed deeply, tried to keep her voice as steady as possible, and said humbly:

"Your Excellency Ourolius."

She bent over, looking at the floor covered with a thin layer of dust, but she didn't dare to make any movement at all. Time seemed to be suspended at this moment.

I don’t know how long it took, until a voice came to my ears:

"come in."

Louise felt relieved. She stood up, raised her left foot and entered the room in front of her, but she seemed to be stepping into an abyss.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but the moment she entered the room, she felt that the light in front of her eyes dimmed for a moment, and then returned to normal.

"Has Chike not recovered yet?" Ourolius said calmly.

This question was very abrupt and unreasonable. If it were normal, Louise would have complained in her heart, but at this moment she did not even dare to show any more mental activity, so she could only answer respectfully:

"I have no idea."

Ourolius had no reaction. He stretched out his right index finger, and with a flicker of light on his fingertip, he condensed a spell out of thin air, flew towards Louise, and commanded:

"Watch the fluctuations of fortune."

Louise did not dare to observe carefully, nor did she dare to ask more questions. She just carefully put away the charm floating in front of her eyes, bowed and said:

"Do your will."

Then, Ourolius' calm voice sounded in her ears:

"Go ahead."

Louise felt as if she had been forgiven, and slowly exited the room without saying a word.

When she came to the outside world, the breeze blew, and the clothes on her back were already soaked with sweat and clung to her skin, outlining winding curves.

…………

"Lord Ourolius, Louise is..."

Mr. A couldn't understand the conversation between the two just now, and the purpose of asking Louise to come here today had not been completed, so he simply sent her away. He tried to remind her, but was interrupted midway.

Ourolius looked at the place where Louise was standing just now and said calmly:

"The 'Witch Cult' are all a bunch of fools."

What does this mean... Mr. A's mind was filled with questions. He hesitated and asked: "Cooperation with the 'Witch Sect'?"

"Continue." Ourolius gave a simple answer, and added a rare addition:

"She is the roll of the night."

The Roller of the Night... Mr. A almost showed shock on his face. Isn't Louise a member of the "Witch Cult"? Why did she suddenly become the Roller of the Night? I never heard that the "Church of the Night" cultivated " Habit of "Witch"? And she even invited me to hunt "Nighthawk" together two days ago!

"Then let's..." he asked.

Ouroleus habitually replied in advance: "My lord and the night are not enemies."

Mr. A bowed in response, and when he raised his head, he found that Ouroilius and the statue in front of him had completely disappeared, and even the depressions on the wall had been restored, as if nothing had happened.

He thought silently for a while, then spread his hands, a transparent book appeared, opened the pages, and recited:

"I come, I see, I record."

Then, his figure disappeared in an instant, and the whole house became empty, as if no one had ever visited here.
