The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

Louise returned to 59 Egram Street alone.

She felt that Red Rose Manor was a palace prepared for Triss, but what about her own "palace"?

Is it this historic villa in front of you?

No, it's this city, Backlund.

Louise raised her head and looked up, her eyes unwavering, with a little indifference and coldness, and then she walked into the home and met the three "divination house" ladies who came to greet her.

Knowing that Louise might participate in an unfamiliar battle today, the maid and others were worried. Katrin was about to ask if the trip went well, but she was interrupted before she could say anything.

"Give me back the ring."

Louise took off the "faceless man ring" on her hand, threw it to Katrin, then passed by him without saying a word, walked straight to the third floor, and closed the bedroom door with a bang.

door.

"What's going on?" Rebecca had obviously never seen Louise in such a state, and was a little at a loss for a moment.

However, the maid quickly showed a smile and explained:

"It's okay, Miss is just in a bad mood."

However, after Sophia comforted the two of them, her eyes looking upstairs were full of worry, because she knew that Louise must have encountered a very big problem in this state.

…………

Returning to the bedroom, Louise leaned against the door and thought carefully for a long time, her expression changing.

Then, with relatively heavy steps, she opened the secret compartment in the room and took out a wooden box. After opening it, she found three familiar tarot cards inside.

He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and when he opened them again, the expression revealed in his eyes was full of tenacity.

Soon she entered the dreamland and saw the dark and towering spire again. However, Louise could not really walk in this time because no matter how she moved forward, she could not get close to the spire in the center.

Helpless, she stopped and said loudly:

"Why don't you see me?"

"I didn't get the ring and fulfilled your wish. Why didn't you come to see me?"

Her questioning voice echoed across the desolate land, as if filled with anger.

After receiving no response for a long time, Louise sneered, stopped moving forward, and actually sat down cross-legged and said:

"Okay, since you don't want to see me, then I'll wait here."

"I can't see the 'Night Goddess', and I can't contact Adam, but I can find your location. If you don't see me, then I will find your parents' home in this 'restart'..."

Finally, another voice appeared on this land. After a deep sigh, Will Asceptin only heard the voice but not the person:

"Alas, if you are disrespectful to those in high positions, you will be sacrificed alive."

"Then kill me." Louise responded immediately, like a copper pea that cannot be steamed or broken.

Will Asceptin's voice couldn't help but hesitate, and she said helplessly:

"What does your failure to get the ring have to do with me?"

Louise was unmoved at all, sitting cross-legged on the spot, raising her head and saying:

"Whether it matters or not, you yourself know."

After stubbornly saying this, she stood up and asked almost in disgust:

"Why? Why do you have to stop me?"

"Do I have to follow the route you expected, otherwise someone will appear immediately to correct my choice?"

"Goddess of the Night, Adam, and you, Angel of Destiny, no matter what you want me to do, if it must be done in this way, then you can replace me."

For a long time, Will Asceptin did not respond.

After Louise said these words, she felt much happier, and she simply continued:

"Since the first day I came to Backlund, you, the Angel of Destiny, have taken the initiative to find me. After that, most of the things I have experienced should have been in the 'trajectory' that you all agree with. ?”

"Until, due to a coincidence, some strange memories and pictures appeared in my mind. As you said before, I had some problems with my mental state."

"So, Adam, the 'Angel of Utopia', appeared and invited me to join the 'Twilight Hermits'. What's interesting is that since I met Adam that time, although I don't know what I have experienced, my mental state has changed to the naked eye. It’s visibly getting better.”

"What are you worried about? What exactly do you want me to do?"

Louise paused for a moment, looked at the spire in the distance, and said loudly as if making a final announcement:

"I need the truth and freedom. If you only want a puppet, I will say the same thing. Just change someone else."

The presence of time here is not obvious. I don’t know how long it took, but Will Asceptin’s slightly hesitant voice came again:

"Just because I don't want you to be in Chick's sight?"

Louise shook her head and said:

"'Original Witch' Chick will be detrimental to me. This is the concept you have always instilled in me. I also want to believe that you don't let me get the ring, maybe it is really for my safety. But I've had enough of feeling manipulated."

"I am Louise, and I will only be Louise." She said decisively.

Will Asceptin said a long "Oh", and then said aloud:

"You know that I won't do anything to you, and you also know that you may be very important, so you want to threaten me with this in order to get some truth."

"You have quite a lot of doubts about what we are doing, so you deliberately planned to get the ring, and even came to ask my opinion before taking action. You are testing."

"Because you know very well that getting Chick's attention is not a good thing and may bring unpredictable consequences to you, so you are betting and risking your life."

Louise's face was flustered for a moment, but she immediately regained her composure and she said:

"You admitted it, 'you'."

"Yes." The voice belonging to Will Asceptin sounded across the endless desolate land: "Is this the answer you want?"

Louise decisively denied: "Of course not, this is the answer I have guessed a long time ago."

"I want to know who I am? Why am I here? What is my destiny?"

"You are the angel of destiny, is this not difficult for you?" Maybe she was about to gain something, so Louise was even in the mood to make a little joke.

However, Will Asceptin chuckled, but the topic suddenly changed, his tone suddenly became indifferent, and he said:

"You think you can threaten me, you think I won't take your life, why? Do you think you are that important?"

"Since you think you are a chess piece, do you think the chess piece can affect the player's thoughts?"

Louise couldn't help but make a swallowing motion, and she insisted on responding:

"so?"

After the solid silence, Will Asceptin spoke up and said:

"Go ahead, someone will tell you the truth. This is the path you chose. I hope you won't regret it."

Then, before Louise could say anything, she was immediately kicked out of the dreamland.

After a long time, a deep sigh appeared on this desolate land, spreading from the dark spire in the center to the surroundings, and seemed to reach the end of the world without any boundaries.
