The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

When two good friends meet again after not seeing each other for a long time, it is inevitable that they will feel a little strange...especially in Louise's situation.

At this time, talking about their common friend Charlie became a good way to break the gap.

Through Thomas's detailed description, Louise couldn't help but recall her life in Byam at the beginning of the time travel, and she always felt a little lost.

It turns out that, now that she has been promoted to "Witch", when she looks at herself during the Bayam period, she has unconsciously seen the same memory as before the time travel, and both of them feel a bit vague.

But Thomas' words easily brought her back to that initial memory.

Time is ruthless, but it cannot erase precious memories.

With these memories, Louise found that her understanding of herself became more profound, as if she had changed from a puppet to a living person.

After a long time, she came back to her senses and said with a smile:

"If Charlie would say it, I wonder what his reaction would be if he saw me now?"

"Probably he will be the same as me." Thomas glanced at her and paused for a moment before saying.

Louise smiled, did not continue to discuss this topic, and asked instead:

"When you came back this time, were you transferred back to Backlund to serve?"

There are too many secrets hidden in Louise, and the relationship between the man in front of her and her is extraordinary. Returning to Backlund at this time makes her not allowed to be curious.

Unexpectedly, Thomas seemed to be confused too. He showed a strange expression, shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

"The order I received was to report back to Backlund, but after the debriefing, I did not receive the next order. I don't know whether I should stay in Backlund or return to Byam to continue working?"

This is very interesting. Not everyone has this right to be able to transfer a major at will, but leave him at home at will... Louise began to speculate in her heart, and nodded calmly, saying :

"From what you said, how many days has it been since you returned to Backlund?"

Thomas nodded slightly and said, "It's been three days."

"I got off the ship on Thursday, and I have time to visit your place after I report my work..."

His expression was slightly tangled, he glanced at Louise secretly, and then explained:

"Because of that letter, I have to make this trip."

Louise smiled and nodded, expressing her understanding. Friends who knew her well knew that she and Thomas were good friends, and it was through this identity that she entered the aristocratic class of Backlund... Now Thomas has returned to Backlund. , if the two of them do not interact, it would seem too fake.

Suddenly, she laughed twice and said:

"Because of that letter, your parents, the Viscount and Countess of Conce almost misunderstood my relationship with you."

Thomas straightened his back immediately, looking a little tense and embarrassed. It was obvious that he had learned about this.

This was also the reason why he was resistant to coming to see Louise.

Think about it carefully, your good brother suddenly turned into a woman one day, and this is nothing. What is even more frightening is that your parents actually regard her as your girlfriend in private... This is too social. died.

He laughed dryly twice and responded: "It's just a misunderstanding. I have explained it clearly to them, and when I come back this time, they probably have the intention of finding a suitable marriage partner for me."

"Hahaha..." Louise laughed a few times, even leaning forward and back a little, and her chest rose and fell one after another. After she calmed down a little, she said:

"I don't even care. Why are you so nervous? Could it be...that you really have that kind of intention?"

In this state, Louise is full of bad taste and looks more and more like a "witch".

Thomas's reaction was quite intense. He stood up suddenly and exclaimed:

"How can it be!"

Louise was in a very happy mood at the moment, a kind of spiritual happiness rather than physical happiness. She squinted her eyes, looked at Thomas carefully, and said with a smile:

"Then why are you panicking?"

"I didn't." Thomas retorted stubbornly, and then he was defeated when he looked at Louise. He sat back again, was silent for a while, and said deeply:

"I just think it's a little weird."

Louise stopped joking and thought for two seconds before saying:

"At first, I thought it was weird, but habits are a terrible thing. They change a person unconsciously."

"Becoming an extraordinary person is destined to embark on a crazy path. Therefore, I like the saying of 'Nighthawks' very much: 'We are guardians, but also a group of poor people who are always fighting against danger and madness.'"

Although this sentence makes sense, becoming a woman is still more difficult to accept... Thomas remained silent, and after a while he spoke:

"But this does not affect the brotherhood... friendship between us."

"This is also what I expect." Louise restored her dignified and elegant posture and said with a smile.

Thomas took a sip of coffee, indicating that the conversation had come to an end. He picked up the topic again and said:

"I heard that you are very famous in Backlund."

Louise said "Oh" with great interest and asked:

"What kind of fame?"

"There are all kinds of comments, mixed reviews." Thomas concluded: "In short, it is rare for outsiders to cause such a large-scale discussion in Backlund's aristocratic circle, especially a

Miss."

"Then should I be happy, or should I be proud?" Louise said slightly complacently, still joking.

However, Thomas did not answer the question. He said seriously:

"As an Extraordinary, especially a wild Extraordinary, your behavior is a bit too high-profile, and there is a great danger of being discovered."

"As far as I know, someone from MI9 has investigated you...and it has nothing to do with the assassination of Ambassador Intis."

Obviously, Thomas had some knowledge of Louise's experience in Backlund, and after hearing some unfavorable news for her, he immediately came to warn her in person, just like when he was in Byam.

Same.

In fact, the person sitting in front of you is not a wild Beyonder. She is a member of the "Witch Cult", a collaborator of MI9, and a preliminary member of the "Twilight Hermits"... Louise looked at Thomas in front of her.

, thinking:

"There are still many secrets of mine that you don't know."

She pretended to accept this sincere suggestion and said with a smile:

"It would be great if you could stay and work in Backlund's MI9. Maybe I would be safer."

Thomas also relaxed, glanced at her lightly, and said:

"When the time comes, I will be the first to arrest you."

Louise laughed heartily twice, shook her head slightly and said:

"You will not."
