The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

Miss "Soothsayer" was very surprised, and the reason for her surprise was very simple:

"Why are there two Louises?"

However, when she noticed the "faceless man" ring worn on the right hand of "Louise" in front of her, she thought of what Louise had just said to her:

"Sophia will be back soon."

Katrin quickly made a judgment that the "Louise" who had just returned was the maid pretending to be a maid, but she didn't know why she did this... Thinking of this, she suddenly raised her head and cast her eyes towards the floor-to-ceiling windows on the third floor, but there was no Saw an unexpected figure.

The person who had the same actions as Miss "Soothsayer" was the man who accompanied "Louise" when she returned. No, it should be said that he was an old man.

Dean Russell, Rebecca's grandfather.

He also raised his head and glanced at the seemingly empty third floor. He seemed to just smile inexplicably, and then looked at a calm-looking girl a few steps away with a smile on his face:

"Rebecca, grandpa is here to see you!"

Rebecca crossed her arms, glanced at him indifferently, and didn't even respond.

Russell sneered, stepped forward, flicked Rebecca's forehead, and said:

"You kid, you didn't even say hello when you saw grandpa!"

"Huh, I don't have a grandfather!" Rebecca replied stubbornly: "I am Miss Louise's now!"

Russell laughed twice and turned to look at "Louise", who smiled and said:

"Miss Rebecca may be a little excited. Just give her a little more time. Let's go upstairs to chat first."

"That's a good suggestion." Russell gave a thumbs up, and then walked upstairs without anyone's guidance.

Catlin was a little nervous when she saw this. If she went upstairs, wouldn't her secret be revealed... She was about to stop her, but suddenly she saw "Louise" next to her showing a peaceful and warm smile.

This was the smile that belonged to the maid lady. The "divinationist" lady immediately felt at ease and chose to believe in Louise, who was almost "omnipotent" in her heart.

The maid kept her "Louise" posture, walked up the stairs step by step, and entered the familiar master bedroom on the third floor. Louise and Russell stood opposite each other in her sight.

She closed the door gently, took off the "Faceless Man" ring on her right hand, restored her original appearance, breathed a deep sigh of relief, tried to stay calm, and explained:

"Miss, it was Dean Russell who took me out of MI9."

Louise glanced at her and felt that the familiar maid lady was back. A smile slowly bloomed at the corner of her mouth and she said to her:

"Okay, I understand. You should go and chat with Katrin for a while. She is very worried about you."

"Okay." Sofia's eyes hesitated for a second, but she still bowed in response and exited the room obediently.

Russell was amazed by this and sighed:

"Miss maid, you are not simple!"

Louise was noncommittal and said with a smile:

"Thank you for bringing Sophia back."

Russell waved his hand and said nonchalantly:

"You don't have to say this to me. If you want to thank me, just thank the 'audience'."

Why are there "audiences" everywhere... Louise was silent for a moment and asked tentatively:

"I do not quite understand?"

"Hey, stop pretending!" Dean Russell raised his right hand, clicked it twice naughtily, and said:

"Soon, you will become one of us."

One of you... Louise was shocked and said: "Are you a member of the Twilight Hermits?"

"I thought you had discovered this a long time ago?" Russell admitted this calmly, then sat on the sofa generously and invited:

"Sit down too, you're welcome."

Louise didn't care about whose family it was here, because a picture suddenly appeared in her mind at this time. It was the first time she met Dean Russell at the ball held by Duke Negan.

, the latter said something very strange:

"In front of the 'audience', there is always a certain feeling of restraint."

These were Russell's words to describe Audrey. Louise didn't pay attention at the time, but now that she thinks about it, the information revealed by the word "general" does seem to imply something.

Louise's deep gaze fell on Russell's face. This elderly dean was maintaining a relaxed and casual expression, which was also his usual character.

"So, in addition to escorting Sophia, you came here this time to talk to me about this matter?" Louise slowly sat on the sofa opposite and asked in a calm tone.

Russell raised the corners of his mouth at the same time and denied:

"No, it has become an established fact that you join the Twilight Hermits. Someone will invite you to the next party...well, it shouldn't be too far away."

"I just want to see what kind of magic power you have?"

Louise asked in surprise: "Why do you say that?"

"Ah, you should know." Russell leaned back and explained casually:

"Although you killed Duke Negan, your rank and social status are not enough to join our organization, but you have been recognized by most people."

It seems like how high your sequence is, your status... well, "craftsmen" are inherently scarce resources, and he is also the dean of the Backlund Research Institute, so his status seems to be quite high, otherwise it would not be possible to remove Sophia from the job so easily.

MI9 brought out...

Louise looked hesitant, put back the words she wanted to refute, and asked instead:

"I have been recognized by most people... What does this mean?"

Russell habitually said: "You know, we are a very democratic organization."

I don't know... Louise replied in her heart, silently scorning this:

"Democracy, will the "audience" pay attention to democracy? Don't be kidding me! Half of the reason why I am so busy today is due to the arrangements of the democratic "audience"."

Meanwhile, Russell's words continued, saying:

"Whenever someone is ready to join the organization, everyone will vote. Only with the approval of the majority can they be allowed to join."

"Originally, you were just the 'bullet' that killed Duke Negan, but someone unexpectedly invited you to join the organization. After some discussion, you, a 'witch' who looked very 'ordinary', got the job very smoothly.

recognized by most members.”

That's because the person who wants me to join the "Twilight Hermits" is your leader... Louise cursed, and she asked pretending to be curious:

"Who proposed this idea first?"
