The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

"I am Duke Negan, I believe everyone here is familiar with me."

Hearing this opening statement, many guests who didn't know what was going on couldn't help but feel a little confused, thinking:

"I accepted your invitation and I am attending the dance held by you. How can I not recognize who you are!"

Mr. Duke's uncharacteristic behavior made many people puzzled and even uneasy, but no one questioned him, because Duke Negan's face was unusually gloomy, and his eagle-like eyes scanned the men and women who were looking at each other in the audience.

Suddenly, his expression turned dull and he spoke:

"Just now, I had a conversation with two very fine young ladies."

"Since His Majesty the King, countless nobles and soldiers have sacrificed their blood and lives to achieve the stability and strength of the Loen Kingdom today. It is precisely because of this that we can enjoy such a grand and harmonious dance today."

Just when many guests thought they were about to receive some patriotic education, Duke Negan changed his calm attitude and said sternly:

"However, there are always some people with ulterior motives who are bent on destroying today's hard-won happy life!"

When everyone heard this, they were silent and clenched the wine glasses in their hands slightly. They didn't know what would happen, so they could only stare intently at Mr. Duke Kang's angry speech:

"I have devoted decades of hard work and effort to this king. Now that I am older, my personality has gradually softened and become gentler. However, some people regard this gentleness as weakness."

"A few days ago, it was also a dance, and I suffered an assassination."

Most of the guests in the audience knew about this, but of course there were a few who didn't know, so the crowd became a little noisy.

But soon, Duke Negan’s speech quickly suppressed these noises:

"The assassin was Qilingos, one of the 'Pirate Generals'. Obviously he failed and was finally killed by His Excellency the 'Singer of Gods'."

"It's a pity that he died so quickly that I couldn't find out the person behind it."

"However," Duke Negan suddenly emphasized his tone and said with a twist: "I know that the matter is not over yet, and the real enemy hiding in the shadows is still waiting for an opportunity."

He looked around, his sharp eyes falling on the faces of many guests, and also flashed on Louise and Audrey, and said:

"Recently, I received accurate information that a second group of people with the same purpose as Qilinges came to Backlund."

"So, I'm holding a dance party tonight."

What does this mean, luring a snake out of its hole? Then wouldn't this dance be very dangerous... Everyone present was not a fool. They thought of this quickly or slowly, and looked at each other in confusion with the people around them, and finally their eyes were aligned.

Duke Negan gathered on the high platform.

Mr. Duke had no intention of explaining. On the contrary, his eyes were fixed on an inconspicuous male guest in the crowd, and then he shouted sharply:

"Do it!"

Before he finished speaking, the man who was being stared at by Duke Negan suddenly stood up, and the wine glass in his hand was crushed into countless glass fragments, which flew towards the other guests who were close to Chi Chi.

However, these glass fragments miraculously penetrated the bodies of the people around them without causing any harm, as if they were just air.

…………

Just when the man got angry, Miss Audrey almost screamed out in surprise. She was about to loudly remind people around her to take shelter, but suddenly she felt Louise grabbing her hand with great strength.

This was an obvious warning. With the tacit understanding between the two of them, Miss Justice silently took back the words she was about to blurt out and stood motionless, as if she hadn't seen anything.

After all, Louise was at a higher level. Just now, she was keenly aware of a hidden spiritual fluctuation that quickly spread and enveloped the entire ball hall.

It should be the ability of a "sealed object" that can isolate the extraordinary battlefield from the world of ordinary people, but does not include extraordinary people... Almost instantly, Louise judged the effect of the spiritual fluctuation, so she secretly stopped " The exposure of Miss Justice.

Louise was actually a little lucky at this time. When she listened to Duke Negan's statement, she almost thought that the latter had discovered her identity. But luckily, Mr. Duke's real target was someone else.

In this regard, Louise expressed that she was very happy to watch. She did not have the habit of being the first to take the lead. She simply pretended to be an ordinary person affected by the ability of the "sealed object" and quietly paid attention to the battle taking place in the corner of the hall.

Unintentionally, she glanced briefly and discovered Dean Russell, whom she had just met. This "old naughty" old gentleman was keeping an exaggerated posture motionless, but he suddenly winked mischievously at Louise. Blinked.

He is an extraordinary person... Louise confirmed this instantly, but she did not give any response and pretended not to see anything, while her thoughts quickly spread.

According to Audrey, Dean Russell believes in the "God of Steam and Machinery" and now he has revealed his identity as a Beyonder. Is he a member of the "Church of Steam"?

Before Duke Negan launched his attack, was the intersection between him and Dean Russell just a coincidence?

After thinking carefully, Louise recalled some details. As a senior Beyonder of Sequence Six, she had almost collided with Dean Russell just now... She originally thought that the reason was that she was a little distracted at the time and did not notice the person behind her. The sound of footsteps, but now it seems that the chance encounter just now seems to have been intentional by Dean Russell.

What does he want to do?

…………

Just when Louise's thoughts were wandering, the battle in the ball hall was coming to an end.

In fact, this is an unfair battle.

There is only one enemy, but there are "a group" of extraordinary people trying to capture him, because this is a trap carefully prepared by Duke Negan, who has absolute power.

He even held a dance party for this purpose to provide a perfect opportunity to help these enemies sneak into his side.

At the same time, the strange male Beyonder was naturally aware of the current dangerous situation.

After discovering that he was isolated from the surrounding world by an inexplicable force, the most effective opportunity to create chaos and escape had been lost. He was left with only one option, to break out of here.

The next second, the entire body of the discovered strange Extraordinary exploded, a brilliant flame spread out in all directions, and the figure in the center of the flame had long since disappeared.

"Invisibility is prohibited here." A majestic voice sounded, and the spiritual fluctuations spread throughout the hall.

At the edge of the hall, in an open space close to the door, the fleeing figure of the male Extraordinary appeared. Seeing that he was discovered, he immediately picked up the fastest speed and ran towards the exit.

"Violators shall be punished." The majestic voice sounded again unhurriedly.
