The warden who guards the witches

The next evening, the black market in Silver City.

"Isn't it?" Aiden looked at the sign in front of him and frowned.

The "Fantasy Moon" jewelry store run by fortune teller Melissa is now closed. There is a huge sign on the door handle that reads: "The store is temporarily closed and temporarily closed."

Melissa, not here.

Judging from the content on the sign, she probably left the city, and it seemed she would be gone for a long time.

It happened to be at this time. Is it just a coincidence, or... on purpose?

Aiden suddenly remembered that Melifilia had mentioned to him that Melissa had the ability to predict when she might be exposed.

Could it be that you sensed some danger and chose to run away at this time to avoid meeting him?

Aiden sighed inwardly.

Regardless of the possibility, this time, it seemed that he was unable to use this intelligence source.

Although Melissa is not a completely trustworthy person, at this juncture, suddenly missing a card in her hand will make people feel a little uneasy.

But in fact, if you think about it a little more optimistically, the Blood Moon Cult may not have monitored the scene of the fight between the Witch Assembly and the Fenghuang Mother Cult. Perhaps, the person arrived at the scene after the incident to check the body of the goddess Nai. …

As soon as the idea came to his mind, Aiden began to reflect.

Being blindly optimistic in this situation may lead to an ugly death. You must know that there is a murderer still walking around in the city.

If the supervisor really killed people to gain the power of the God of Death, as Abigail said, and now three people have died, it means that the preparations have been roughly completed.

Several temporarily recruited miscellaneous fish vampires, including Nosferatu, are probably just smoke bombs used to contain the Inquisition, and are just abandoned sons.

If you think about it this way, after the preparations are completed, the supervisor may not be able to use these abandoned sons, and the Heretic Bureau's squatting operations may not be able to catch him...

If you were to come to your door, maybe it would be the nearest one.

Let's go back to the prison tonight and then think about the countermeasures. After making up his mind, Aiden turned back to the street, found a carriage and made his way back to the prison.

"Sir?"

As soon as Aiden stepped off the carriage at the disembarking point, he saw Veronica getting off the public carriage and looking at him in surprise.

Most of Veronica's shifts in the prison were night shifts, and she usually started working in the afternoon or evening.

"You work the night shift today too." Aiden smiled at her as a greeting.

"Did you go out? Or did you come back after get off work?" Veronica asked.

"I went out to do some errands, and I'm going to handle some work in the prison tonight." Aiden and her started chatting while walking.

"You seemed to have gone out yesterday and came back again...has anything happened recently?" Veronica was keenly aware that Aiden's movements over the past two days were somewhat unusual.

"Well..." Aiden thought to himself that if he said that he went to Fireworks Alley yesterday and went to the black market today, there would be some strange misunderstanding.

But it’s just the vampire murder that happened in the city recently, so it doesn’t hurt to tell Veronica about it.

The two of them walked towards the intersection and were about to turn into the path on the side of the prison, when Veronica suddenly said "Hey".

Aiden followed her line of sight and saw a woman in black clutching her stomach, staggering out of the path and moaning while holding on to the street lamp.

From the fingers holding her stomach, dark red blood continued to flow out, staining her hands red.

Aiden was startled for a moment, and Veronica gasped and immediately strode forward: "Hey! Are you okay!?"

Veronica's reaction was considered a normal reaction, but Aiden, who had been thinking about the murderous vampire, suddenly had an idea in his mind: trap!

It was long past the visiting hours at this time, and there were not many passers-by near the prison. How could a wounded person with blood on his body suddenly appear?

"Don't go there yet!"

As soon as Aiden made a sound and was about to call Veronica, the woman suddenly raised her head and stretched out her bloody hand. The dark red blood flew out and turned into a long whip towards Veronica.

Veronica dodged subconsciously. This time she was caught off guard. Even with a werewolf's reaction speed, she could only barely dodge.

At this time, the woman had already rushed towards her with a ferocious look on her face, threw herself behind her, and the blood whip in her hand shrank and transformed into a dagger again.

Aiden quickly drew his gun, but the woman had already put the knife on Veronica's neck and yelled viciously: "No, don't move! Or I'll kill her right away!"

Aiden's face became serious. With this ability to use blood magic without spells and instinctively, this woman was obviously a vampire.

Is this guy the supervisor who came to the door?

No, it doesn't feel like...

Aiden sensed that something was wrong. He had come into contact with too many criminals. This woman looked very nervous from her expression to her voice. She was completely unlike a habitual criminal who could manipulate others and kill without blinking an eye. She was not the supervisor he suspected. The image is very different.

Remember, Nosferatu mentioned that besides him, there are three other vampires controlled by the overseer. Apart from the two viscounts who have been arrested, there is exactly one more...

And with Veronica's physical ability, holding her hostage with a knife on her neck... is actually useless. When the woman put the knife up just now, although Veronica was a step slower, she still grabbed the other's wrist in time and could break it at any time. The opponent obviously didn't know what kind of dangerous person she was holding hostage.

Aiden's mind moved, and he cast a look at Veronica, signaling her to wait.

Since there is a chance to break free at any time, it is better to try to ask the other party's purpose first.

Veronica was stunned. Although she didn't understand it very well, she still put aside the idea of ​​counterattacking immediately, slightly relaxed the strength of her hands, pretended to be a weak woman being held hostage, and said in a stiff tone: "You... don't mess around!"

Aiden looked back and forth between Veronica and the vampire. Veronica's acting skills in this regard were poor, but the vampire was obviously too nervous and didn't notice the hostage's unnaturalness at all.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Aiden asked the other party.

The other party held Veronica hostage but did not take action immediately. Instead, he chose to shout at him, obviously with a purpose other than killing.

The woman spoke in a hoarse voice: "Listen to me, if you don't want this guy to die, hand over...hand over the blood prince Ophelia who is imprisoned here!!"
