The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

Let's jump back in time to the beginning.

Joyce found out that he had been kidnapped. After a brief panic, he immediately thought of a solution.

First, he deliberately showed excitement, causing his movements to be too large, but secretly it was to take out the "Oath-Breaking Blade" tied around his waist.

At this time, I have to thank Thomas. It was precisely because of his reminder yesterday that Joyce conscientiously brought magical items for self-defense.

Fortunately, the masked man did not search his body, probably because he felt that a baron would not carry weapons to the ball...

After getting the "Oath-Breaking Blade", Joyce began to stall for time.

It is normal for a kidnapped young man to be paralyzed by fear, not to mention the extraordinary ability of the "interrogator". The masked man has no doubt about this.

During this period, Joyce used his exquisite control to cut the rope that tied him down to just a sliver, so that he could break free with just a little force.

Later, he was not in a hurry to escape, but instead began to explore the reasons why the masked man kidnapped him. Unexpectedly, he gained much more than expected. This is probably the so-called "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs"!

It would be better if another call came in at this time, but unfortunately he couldn't... Finding that the masked man was getting impatient, Joyce decided to take action.

Everything went well. Although it was not killed directly, the secondary goal was completed: extinguishing the only light source in the room.

The shadow is the home ground of the "Assassin".

…………

"You are not an 'audience'!"

The masked man controlled the muscles at the wound in an attempt to reduce blood loss, but because the wound was too deep, the effect was not ideal. Judging from his experience, if he could not fight quickly, he would definitely bleed to death.

Joyce's action of cutting down the light source proves that he has dark vision. To deal with such a person, you must first find his location, so the masked man shouted such a sentence that could easily reveal his identity.

“He thinks I’m an ‘audience’!”

Joyce thought that the person who felt this way could only be the person behind "The Balance"... He was indeed from MI9.

After a few seconds, the masked man didn't notice Joyce's mental fluctuations, and felt that his body was gradually getting colder. He spoke again:

"Aren't you curious about how William died? Let me tell you, I killed William with my own hands. I slit his throat with a knife, and the blood kept bubbling out, like a beautiful fountain!"

"You will not escape this fate!"

He said harsh words, but his body moved towards the gate slowly and honestly. At this moment, he was seriously injured. He only had a short sword in his hand that he got from the coachman Karl. The odds of winning were really not high, so it was better to go ahead.

.

Joyce noticed the masked man's little moves.

He held the "Oath-Breaking Blade" tightly in his right hand and the "Eye of Social Death" in his left hand. The latter was just picked up from the ground in the chaos. It was relying on its inner hints that Joyce was able to maintain his emotional stability.

.

This is the lesson learned when assassinating Crowe. Inadvertent emotional fluctuations are as dazzling as fireflies in the night sky to extraordinary people with high spiritual attributes.

"Assassins" will become prey when exposed to the light.

…………

You can't let him go, this is a very good opportunity... After thinking briefly, Joyce quickly formulated a plan, kicked away the chair used to tie him, and quickly approached the enemy from the side.

Although invisible, as a senior mid-level Extraordinary, the masked man was able to distinguish the difference between the sound of the wind. He dodged the unknown objects flying from the front, and at the same time blocked Joyce's attack with a dagger.

The Arbiter path has good fighting ability, and can reach Sequence Seven. The masked man's fighting level is only better than that of the "Assassin" of Sequence Nine. This can be seen from the fact that he blocked Joyce's attacks one after another.

However, Joyce possesses the master-level weapon proficiency and huge strength brought by the "Oath-Breaking Blade", and the two of them were evenly matched after a few rounds.

Once again intercepting the thrusting sword, the masked man was slightly confused as to how Joyce could hide such a long weapon on his body, but that didn't matter anymore, because the dawn of victory had already arrived.

I saw him finding the right opportunity, and when the two of them were facing each other head-on, he released another "spiritual piercing".

Hearing Joyce's muffled groan smoothly, the masked man had no time to be surprised. The reason was that he also felt a familiar sharp pain in his head, which gave rise to an inexplicable fear.

This comes from the "shock" of the "psychiatrist".

Joyce was very familiar with the extraordinary abilities of the "Interrogator". He not only had memories of reading novels in his previous life, but also had "detailed introductions to skills" left to him by "Judge" William.

Knowing himself and the enemy, in order to end the fight quickly, Joyce formulated such a plan to harm each other.

Taking the initiative to accept a "spiritual piercing", at the same time, he launched "Frenzy" at the masked man. When both the enemy and ourselves were in a state of chaos, Joyce subconsciously raised his sword and stabbed the enemy's heart.

His thrusting movement was slow and stiff, as if it were a rigid machine, but the result was perfect, the "Oath-Breaking Blade" penetrated into the heart of the masked man.

This mechanical action comes from the psychological suggestion he made to himself using the "Eye of Social Death": Even if he cannot think, he must thrust out this sword.

Soon, the two of them regained consciousness from the state of confusion.

Joyce quickly retreated to prevent the enemy from counterattacking.

The masked man covered his heart with both hands, feeling the rapid loss of body temperature and blood. He looked blankly at Joyce hidden in the shadows, and then collapsed.

At this moment, Joyce clearly felt that the remaining "Assassin" potion in his body had almost been digested. Even if he no longer performed deliberate assassination performances, he could be promoted to the "Instigator" of Sequence Eight in at most three to five days.

By".

This performance also proves that the enemy is really dead... Joyce sat down on the ground and was "spiritually pierced" three times in a short period of time. His willpower was close to the limit. If the potion hadn't been greatly digested, he might have died.

There is a risk of losing control.

He was quite lucky to win this battle. The gap between Sequence Nine and Sequence Seven was very obvious, but fortunately, the right time, place, people, and people were all on his side.

First of all, the two of them were in such a closed and small room, and the darkness gave him the best cover... Secondly, the enemy relaxed his vigilance when faced with a tied up lamb to be slaughtered... By the way, he thought I didn't have actual combat.

The ability of the "audience"...the combination of all favorable factors allowed him to take the lead in severely damaging his opponent and finally win.

After three to five minutes, Joyce regained his composure and passed the time when the enemy might fake the corpse.

He stepped forward and lifted the mask of the masked man, revealing a familiar face, with a scar under the left eye particularly noticeable.

"Diego!"

"The major from MI9 who greeted him at the banquet tonight!"
