The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

Good guy!

He greeted me kindly at the banquet, but then kidnapped me.

It's really yours, Diego!

Joyce cursed in his mind as he searched the body, but found nothing of value, let alone magical items.

This is also expected. If he really has magical items, there is no reason why he didn't use them in the battle just now.

After finding nothing, Joyce took two quick steps, picked up the candles on the ground, divided them into three equal parts, arranged them in a row in a specific way, and lit them one by one.

The candlelight appears again.

Next, he will try channeling.

The reason why it is called an attempt is because as an "assassin", although his combat ability is extremely strong, his shortcoming is the lack of auxiliary abilities, and most ritual magic cannot be used.

However, by studying the "Soothsayer's Notebook" obtained in exchange for the "Joker" trait, Joyce got an inspiration: to use the prayer ritual and the power of a certain great being to complete this channeling.

As for the great existence, where could it be more suitable than Origin Castle?

He skillfully recited the name of the Heavenly Lord:

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Immortal Lord"

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianjun"

…………

Waiting silently until the familiar gray fog appeared again, Joyce immediately spread his spirituality to the gray fog.

Joyce in his current state is equivalent to surrendering all his wealth and life. If the object of his prayers is a living high-ranking being, then the other party can take away from him through his spirituality.

The key is that the current Source Castle is just a rigid system without programmers, and there is no danger at all.

And as the source material corresponding to "Gou Sanjia", it is perfect to use it for divination and channeling!

It represents Joyce's spirituality wandering in a gray mist, completely unable to discern its direction, and looking very lonely.

He knew that this was not the Source Castle, but the spirit world, because the notes recorded the state after channeling, which was similar to the current situation. Resisting the desire to explore the spirit world, Joyce quickly found Diego's fragmented spirituality.

.

"The reason why he kidnapped me."

"The reason why he kidnapped me."

…………

Soon, a clearer picture emerged before his eyes, which was a conversation between two men.

Perhaps it was because the effect of using Source Castle to channel spirits was very good, or perhaps because the other party did not have any anti-divination ability, Joyce could clearly see their faces.

The man who maintained a humble posture was Diego, who was killed by him, and the man who spoke coldly turned out to be Ianna's lover, Major General Bright.

"After the banquet tonight, we must get William's list from Joyce...that old guy Gordon has noticed it, and we must not let him take the initiative, otherwise we will be in trouble."

"Yes, General." Diego agreed hastily, raised his head and asked again:

"What will Joyce do after getting the list?"

"I just want the list," Bright asserted.

The short conversation was fragmented at this point, and Joyce felt a little pain in the middle of his eyebrows. He quickly recited the 'divination sentence' silently again:

“Diego’s relationship with William.”

“Diego’s relationship with William.”

…………

The background of the picture changed from an office to a mountain forest. William was leaning against a tree. There were several blurry figures around him who couldn't see clearly. All he could see was Diego standing in front of William and asking sternly:

"Who did you give the list to?"

William smiled, with bright red blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, looking a little ferocious:

"Come closer and I'll tell you."

Diego heard the words and approached, but William used his last bit of strength to use a dagger to leave a long diagonal wound on Diego's face, located under his left eye.

The picture shattered as William laughed.

…………

Joyce, who lacked spirituality, had a thought in his mind and immediately exited the psychic state and returned to the dark, airtight cabin.

The three short candles were still burning quietly.

The extraordinary characteristics of the "Interrogator" had already been extracted from the corpse. When he picked it up, a burst of electricity seemed to pass through his hands. Joyce shuddered, then put it into an iron cigarette case and sealed it with a spiritual wall.

He began to think about the consequences of channeling.

Diego didn't lie. William's death was indeed directly related to him. Even the scars on his face were given by William...

The so-called "list" does exist, and it is quite important, otherwise Bright would not be so desperate as to choose to kidnap me directly... Although there seems to be a reason for General Gordon's involvement...

This behavior is very similar to a gambler who is about to lose all his gambling money and decides to take risks, hoping to turn defeat into victory...

However, Joyce was certain that William had not mentioned anything about the list to him, and Diego was destined to gain nothing and even lose his life in the end.

Thinking about it carefully, although tonight was thrilling, the harvest was also huge. Objectively, he got a share of the extraordinary characteristics of the "Interrogator", which was worth at least 1,500 pounds.

Subjectively, Joyce got rid of the previous state of being blind and feeling the elephant, and knew who the enemy was and the reasons for becoming the enemy. In this way, the space for him to operate will become larger and more flexible.

He simply handled the murder scene, pushed open the door to the secret room, climbed a dozen stairs, and walked into the bedroom of a house.

The crimson moonlight loomed under the clouds.

Based on his study of Bayam's map, he easily determined that this place belonged to Enkalo Street.

Looking out through the window, I saw my carriage parked in the garden. The horses were a little restless because they were in an unfamiliar environment.

Carl's bodies were piled haphazardly in the carriage. Joyce was inevitably a little sad when he saw this. If he hadn't been cautious, he might have ended up like this. He said to himself:

"I also avenged you."

Then he drove away without any regrets.

Speeding all the way, the carriage arrived at the corner of Stone Street. Joyce met his valet. After questioning, he learned that because Harry had not returned, he sent someone to General Gordon's house to inquire, and later

Servants were sent to search everywhere.

"That's it..." Joyce pondered for a moment and then ordered:

"You go and inform others that I have returned and there is no need to look for me anymore."

Returning to No. 14 Stone Street, Harry and Sophia came up to them in surprise. Joyce winked at them, and Harry immediately dismissed the servants behind him after receiving the instructions.

Before the two of them could speak, Joyce asked first: "Does Carl have any relatives alive?"

Harry responded efficiently:

"No, Carl is an orphan adopted by Mr. William. He has no parents and has never been married."

Then, Joyce said what he had already thought of:

"On the way back from the banquet, I was assassinated. Fortunately, Karl fought to the death to protect me and was able to escape from the assassin. But Karl..."

"Bury him properly for me."

Harry was frightened for a while. He opened the curtain and saw Karl's body and the blood stains in the carriage. His expression froze and he immediately agreed.

Joyce got off the carriage: "Also, send someone to call the police tomorrow morning and ask Dean to investigate."

"As you command, Mr. Baron." Harry responded after taking over the carriage.

Finally, Joyce told Sophia, who looked worried: "Prepare hot water, I want to take a bath."

Returning to the bedroom and closing the door, Joyce, who was exhausted both physically and mentally, was about to lie down for a while when she suddenly heard a woman's voice:

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
