The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

Coincidentally, while Joyce and Emily were conspiring, Ianna also received a guest.

Her lover on the surface... well, secretly too, but more of a cooperative relationship - Major General Bright.

"What? You asked Diego to kidnap Joyce, and Diego died!"

Ianna's face was full of shock, as if she couldn't believe how things were going:

"Why didn't you discuss it with me beforehand?"

Brett explained: "You have been busy these past two days without seeing anyone, and that old guy Gordon is biting harder and harder, so I had to come up with this strategy. As long as I successfully get the list, everything will return to normal.

"

Yes, as long as you are promoted successfully, you will become a demigod...but you have to ensure success!

Ianna rubbed her eyebrows. This was a habit she had developed when she was a boy. She rarely used it anymore. It only appeared unconsciously when she encountered difficulties.

In recent days, she had focused on tracking down her former wife, Emily, because she had stolen an important sealed artifact. However, she did not expect that the situation would change so much in just a few days.

Ianna stopped what she was doing and glanced at the so-called "young major general". In her eyes, Brett was just a spoiled child who acted impulsively, liked to show off, and did things regardless of the consequences.

In comparison, William, who had caused her countless troubles, was far superior.

At first, William only discovered a few clues about the missing persons, but he quickly found many clues and even pretended to seek refuge. He said it was for glory and wealth, but in fact he was secretly collecting evidence... If not at the end

Kill him at any time, I am afraid that the "punisher" of the Church of Storms will come to your door long ago...

Even so, the "list" left behind after William was killed also messed up the situation. Affected by this, the work of transferring people became more and more difficult. This was why Bright was anxious, but it was still too much.

Too reckless...

"How's Joyce doing?"

After brainstorming, Ianna tried to start solving the problem, as usual.

Brett was silent for a long time, and then he said doubtfully after hearing the question:

"Joyce is safe and sound. He claimed to have been assassinated, but instead of reporting it to MI9, he called the police. What's even more strange is that the Bayam Police Department actually caught the so-called assassin!"

Ianna paced back and forth on the ground, thinking for a long time before saying:

"Joyce must have learned something from Diego... The worst case scenario is that he already knows the whole story..."

"Yes, that must be the case!" Brett stood up and interrupted:

"Maybe the list is in Joyce's hands now, why not do it myself this time..."

Ianna couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "Excuse me, do you think Joyce can kill Diego?"

"There must be supporters behind him, maybe it's the backup left by William. It has been verified that the list is not in Joyce's hands. There is a high probability that it will be in the hands of this mysterious person..."

Speaking of this, she glanced at Bright: "Although your reckless action this time almost destroyed us, a strange combination of circumstances also brought us closer to the list."

"The question is, why didn't Joyce report us?" Brett asked with satisfaction at first and then confusion.

"I don't know." Yianna shook her head:

"Maybe it was the mysterious person behind him who ordered it, or maybe he made his own decision..."

After being kidnapped, he successfully counterattacked, but instead of reporting the crime, he tolerated it. What did he want to do... use this as a bargaining chip to exchange for more, or did he want to personally avenge William... As expected of William's son, it is not easy! Ianna found that she was right

Joyce became even more interested.

You must come to the dance on Saturday!

…………

On Thursday morning, Joyce got on Charlie's carriage alone.

He was very much looking forward to today's extraordinary gathering, especially after he failed to get any of the main materials at the gathering held by "Bian Ping".

The gatherings of the "School of Life" will never be like ordinary gatherings, with three or two big cats and kittens. Joyce even thinks that the "School of Life" has a demigod-level existence in Bayam... Of course, this is just a guess.

And there is a high probability that demigods will not appear at such a mid- to low-sequence gathering.

He also discovered that Charlie had rarely changed into simple clothes that he would not normally wear. It seemed that he was more cautious about dealing with the extraordinary world than he thought.

But why is the direction in which this carriage is traveling so familiar?

Joyce was surprised to find that the carriage stopped at Enmat Street.

The Four Seasons Cafe, where he stayed all afternoon yesterday, was open as usual, and the grocery store transformed from the "House of Divination" had already begun to take shape... He was mechanically led by Charlie into the largest grocery store on the street.

"Just wait a moment."

Charlie said to him, then walked forward and showed a badge to a man who looked like a grocery store owner, but Joyce couldn't see it clearly from his perspective.

The boss-looking man turned to look at Joyce, took out two masks and handed them to Charlie.

"No problem, take it with you," Charlie said happily.

Joyce took it with one hand and found that it was a completely sealed mask. It didn't even have a sight hole or a breathing hole. It was more like a piece of black cloth... Although he was surprised, he still put on the mask obediently, and his eyes instantly turned into a blur.

dark.

The slight sound of opening the door sounded, and the darkness in front of me became more intense, as if multiple colors overlapped together, and countless invisible figures quickly retreated.

Joyce, who had had psychic experience, came to an accurate judgment: this is the spiritual world.

The ability to "open the door"? But will "opening the door" pass through the spirit world?

Teleportation? Is the grocery store owner a "traveler"?

Even if it is a secret organization, it is impossible for the "travellers" of Sequence Five to be used as "brick-moving coolies"! That is too luxurious!

Before I could figure out the result, the voice of "It's already here" was heard in my ears.

Taking off their masks, the three of them appeared in a small, boxy room, like a dressing room backstage at a performance, with hoods, masks and other disguise props hanging on the wall.

"You can choose to disguise yourself in any way, or you can refuse, but we only guarantee the safety within the party and will not interfere with what happens after the party."

The suspected "traveler" boss pointed at the props on the wall and then opened the door behind him and disappeared.

Charlie was very satisfied with the surprise and amazement on Joyce's face:

"How about it? It's amazing. Are you more looking forward to becoming an extraordinary person?"

"Indeed." Joyce said, looking forward to what he would get at the next party.

After that, the two began to disguise themselves separately.

Charlie put on a round face mask and a cloak, while Joyce was more cautious, covering his whole body with a thick hood, and finally chose a clown mask to cover his face.

The two looked at each other. If they hadn't come together, it would be difficult to recognize each other and smile at each other.

Joyce turned around and asked just pretending to be curious:

"Who was that person just now?"

Charlie's answer was simple and straightforward:

"I don't know, maybe he's a member of the School of Life. Whatever, let's go in!"

PS: Street Diary: I had nothing to do, so I went to a certain pavilion to search, but I couldn’t find my book. I didn’t know whether to be happy or sad for a while...
