The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

Louise turned her head slightly stiffly and looked at the old gentleman beside her. The latter's expression seemed very serious, as if he was really asking for his opinion.

But I have already joined the "Twilight Hermits". Even if I don't agree with this purpose in my heart, do I still dare to speak out? That's not how you seek death!

She also replied solemnly with the same expression:

"The Lord never leaves."

In fact, even Louise herself did not think this sentence had any meaning, and regarded it as a perfunctory. After all, this sentence will exist in any church's holy scriptures, and it is completely a "universal formula".

However, the old gentleman seemed to be very touched by this. He thought silently for two seconds, and then continued to walk forward. Within a moment, he quickly approached the magnificent Giant Hall not far away.

In this empty environment, Louise subconsciously kept silent. Until she was about to enter the hall, she suddenly remembered that this old man didn't answer her question at all!

In addition, he said that this Giant Hall was a figment of his imagination, but Louise found that she had really stepped into the threshold of the hall, no different.

There are no doors or even walls. The entire hall is only supported by countless towering stone pillars. It seems endless. As soon as you enter, a sense of ancient vicissitudes hits your face. It seems that time has stopped here and history has returned to its origin. .

Obviously, this was just Louise's feeling, and the old man standing next to her didn't have any similar feelings. The latter just looked at Louise silently, showing a thoughtful expression.

Within a moment, Louise recovered from her daze and looked at the hall in front of her again. The strange feeling she had just now disappeared.

She met a group of people, probably members of the "Twilight Hermits".

However, what makes Louise a little confused is that these people are not the same as the group of people she just saw in the outside world. Of course, there are some overlaps, but there are more differences.

"Outside, the hall you see is fake, and so are the people." The old man on the side answered Louise's doubts in a timely manner.

What this means is that those people I just saw were also imaginary, and now these people are the real members of the "Twilight Hermits"... Louise was more and more surprised, but she also felt worried that her heart had been completely seen through.

As expected of an "audience", they can always come up with so many "fancy" things.

Louise has always had the most basic understanding that the members of the "Twilight Hermits" are high-ranking figures, so she can't help but have some guesses and imaginations... Now her guess has been confirmed Confirmed, there are indeed familiar characters here, but there are also more unexpected characters.

These big shots in the real world, who have different identities and are even hostile to each other, are extremely harmonious in this giant-like grand hall. They sit or stand, or gather together in twos and threes to talk, looking extremely relaxed, as if this Just a simple dinner party.

When Louise and the old gentleman beside her walked into the hall, almost everyone's eyes turned here. Most people's eyes were focused on Louise, even a small number of people looked at the old gentleman. The members will soon look at Louise.

"You know, there are not many new members who can join us." The old gentleman suddenly said.

Louise was a little confused. She was not unfamiliar with this way and tone of speech. This was Russell's speech habit.

At this time, a familiar voice sounded, and a figure appeared in front of the two of them. It was the "old naughty boy" Russell.

"You said what I said again!" he complained in sheep's clothing.

The old gentleman smiled, but did not respond. He just nodded towards Louise and then walked towards the crowd.

Under Louise's gaze, the members of the "Twilight Hermits" who should not be underestimated tacitly made way for the old gentleman. Some people would come up to chat with them, and the old gentleman would respond cordially. , as if he is the protagonist here.

"Who is he?" Louise asked.

Russell stood side by side with him and replied in a deep voice:

"He is the one who invited you to join us."

"As for his name, you must be familiar with it. He is a figure who existed in ancient history, one of the leaders of the extraordinary world of mankind, and the founder of the Hermetic language and the ancient Hermetic language, Hermes."

Hermes, this name is shocking, and what surprises Louise even more is that she is confident that she has never had any interaction with this angel, but why would he recommend her?

Could it be Adam's arrangement?

Now that I know the identity of Hermes, and recalling the conversation they had during the "rush" just now, it seems that it is not that simple!

This can be regarded as a "celebrity effect" in a certain sense... As she thought about it, Louise became a little fascinated.

"How about it, I didn't lie to you, did I? I told you before, you will be surprised." Russell said from the side with a complacent look, bringing Louise's thoughts back.

Louise nodded slightly and said, "I am indeed very shocked."

"However," she suddenly turned around and said, "I have never met this legendary figure, so why would he recommend me to join the Twilight Hermits?"

Russell clapped his hands without paying attention to the image and said:

"You've asked the right person. I want to know too, and most of the members here who know Hermes' identity also want to know."

"But don't forget, you and I were the first to know each other. If one day you become famous, don't forget me as an old friend...well, there is also Rebecca!"

Louise chuckled lightly and ignored the "old naughty boy" beside her, but he also revealed some news, that is, he was probably considered a "rare creature" in the "Twilight Hermits".

"Probably, every newcomer will be treated like this, right?" Louise asked herself, but did not answer.

Noticing that some of the crowd seemed to be looking at her, Louise suddenly asked:

"What is the purpose of today's party? It can't be a welcoming ceremony to welcome me in, right?"

Russell was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands and cheered:

"Keep this confident attitude towards life and you will definitely succeed."

Since it was Louise who took the initiative to make the joke, she naturally would not blame Russell for teasing her. She just turned slightly sideways and stared at Russell with burning eyes, as if she would not give up until she got an answer.

Unfortunately, Russell shrugged and replied:

"I didn't mean to hide it from you, because I don't know either."
