The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

Louise put down the book in her hand, looked at Miss Sharon in front of her with a smile, and said calmly:

"Has the hunt begun?"

Sharon looked calm, nodded slightly and said:

"Just today."

It was approaching evening, and the clouds gradually became gloomy, seeming to signify the arrival of a heavy rain, and the not-so-bright sun was slowly setting over the western mountains.

Louise thought for a moment, turned her eyes away from the window, stood up and said:

"Then let's set off."

Louise quietly left No. 59 Egram Street with Miss Sharon without alerting anyone.

She had already given instructions to the maid before, but she did not clearly explain the specific content of this operation. After all, she was hunting a real demigod, and there was no room for any mistakes.

…………

Louise and Sharon remained silent, concentrating on their journey.

Both of them were experienced Beyonders, and their marching speed was not slow. They soon left the bustling area of ​​Backlund without encountering any obstacles along the way until they arrived at a dilapidated and abandoned manor on the outskirts.

"Is this the preset battlefield?" Louise looked around briefly and asked slightly solemnly.

Miss Sharon regained her usual coldness, nodded calmly, and said:

"Yes."

Then, she slowly floated in.

Louise followed closely behind, and when she walked into the manor, she didn't find any special arrangements, let alone traps.

Sharon seemed to see Louise's doubts and explained softly:

“‘Puppet’s’ ability to perceive and utilize the environment is very powerful and cannot be used to alert others.”

Louise nodded slightly, expressing her understanding. She had already kept the capabilities and characteristics of the "Puppet" in mind, and had even simulated the process of fighting with it many times in her mind. Although she was not completely confident, she was able to protect herself.

Passing through the broken wooden door and walking into the abandoned villa covered with cobwebs, Louise met Maric and Sharon's teacher, Renette Tinichole, who was holding four heads.

"You have been promoted to 'Wraith Soul'!" Louise said in surprise as she stared at the translucent Maric floating in mid-air.

Maric nodded slightly and answered briefly:

"In the previous battle, I successfully obtained a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of sequence five."

We are all Sequence Six, but you were promoted ahead of schedule... Louise was silent for a moment and said, "That's great, you are better than me now."

Maric's eyes froze, and if it weren't for his amazing self-control, he would almost take a breath.

He still clearly remembered that when hunting the unlucky "Apostle of Desire" not long ago, Louise showed off an endless stream of powerful methods, which left an indelible impression on himself who was still a "living corpse" at the time... But she

Now that he said such words, Maric found it hard to accept, and couldn't tell whether it was a compliment or a sarcasm.

Simply, he chose to remain silent.

Reinette Tinichole floating aside is not as "majestic and tall" as when she was seen in the spirit world. Although she is still huge and almost breaks through the roof, at least she does not look like a castle.

"Alice...asked me...to say hello to you." The four heads spoke one after another and said towards Louise.

Well, Alice can't speak, how do you communicate... The first question that came to Louise's mind was this. She quickly threw it away, showed a smile, and responded politely:

"Thank you for informing me, please send my greetings to her as well."

"I...will..." Renette Tinichole said, and then disappeared into the air in the blink of an eye, as if the purpose of staying here was just to help Alice convey this greeting.

Louise blinked, looking a little helpless. She looked around and asked aloud:

"Why didn't you see Bernadette?"

Just as Miss Sharon was about to speak, she saw two pea vines falling vertically from the sky. Looking up, Bernadette was sitting on a swing made of tree vines, swinging back and forth with a leisurely expression, and said with a smile. :

"What, are you afraid that I'll break the appointment?"

After saying this, why is there no tension at all before the war... Louise smacked her lips silently and said slightly strangely:

"Don't you dare, you have a noble status, so of course you must do what you say."

Bernadette smiled, looked at Louise condescendingly, as if she had seen through the latter's little thoughts, and said:

"Even if you compliment me, I will not take part in the battle. No matter how big the benefits are, I will work hard. Do you understand?"

The hidden meaning in this sentence is: "If you want me to take action, you must pay more."

Louise naturally knew this very well and bowed and said:

"Clearly, clearly."

When she looked up again, she found that Bernadette had disappeared out of thin air, exactly like Renette Tinichole just now.

Why do these demigods like to "turn around"? But they do look mysterious... Louise tried to relax her mind, turned to Sharon and Maric, and asked:

"What to do next?"

In the past, Maric served as the spokesperson, but now he has been promoted to "Wraith". Now it is Miss Sharon's turn to speak... Of course, it may also be because of her own reasons, Louise thought silently, and at the same time Listen carefully to Sharon's story.

…………

At No. 59 Egram Street, Louise's departure did not cause any waves, and the atmosphere remained calm as usual.

When dinner was approaching, Sophia knocked on the door of the study, but received no response.

She was a little surprised, so she knocked again, and finally opened the door and walked into the study. As expected, she found that there was no one inside.

"Miss, are you out today?" She remembered Louise's instructions to her two days ago, so she didn't panic, she just murmured to herself.

At this time, a familiar voice suddenly came to my ears:

"Sophia, so you are here!"

Looking back, she found that it was Katrin who had returned from an outing, followed by the calm-looking Miss Rebecca. Sophia silently closed the door to the study and asked aloud:

"What's the matter? You want to see me if you need something?"

Katrin smiled easily and replied:

"That blond bald man is here again. I happened to bump into him when I came back, so I came to let you know."

Sophia said "Oh" dullly, indicating that she understood.

Louise once told her that if Duke Negan's secretary came to invite her while she was out, she should decline as much as possible and she would be back soon...Sofia would never refute or refuse Louise's request. , this time is of course no exception.

However, just as she was about to walk towards the living room, another different voice suddenly appeared in Sophia's mind.
