The warden who guards the witches

That night, after rushing to the location designated by Qiqimora, Aiden did a simple investigation around the area.

Soon, he found a problem.

"Qiqimora, the place where he lives is not a single-family rental house at all..." He used the credentials of the great witch to contact Qiqimora, "Why didn't you make it clear in advance?"

The place where Joey Lawson settled in that village was actually a small manor that operated a hotel and long-term rental business. Rather than a rental house, it should be more accurately called an apartment or a B\u0026B.

It seems that there are quite a few people living in it, and it is a place with a relatively dense population.

If you take action there, the slightest mistake may accidentally injure innocent passers-by, and the possibility of being witnessed and causing a riot is also very high.

"What does it matter?" Qiqimora's voice obviously didn't consider this level, "Just some strangers."

Aiden didn't feel much doubt about this - these witches who will deeply study black magic originally regard the law as nothing, and they don't care about the possibility and consequences of involving others.

"A stranger's life is also a life." Aiden replied seriously, "You may think it's okay, but it's very important to me. I don't want to be investigated for this matter and go to the court."

"Didn't you say that you would wait until he fell asleep to start the fight?" Qiqimora asked.

"Change the plan, lead him from there to a deserted place and then fight." Aiden changed the plan decisively, "Fortunately, there is no shortage of such places in the suburbs."

It would only increase the risk for herself. Qiqimora did not say this idea out loud. As a witch, her way of doing things would always be different from Aiden.

But she did not raise any objections in the end: "Okay, you decide, but how do you plan to lead him out?"

"It just so happens that I have made preparations." Aiden did not feel it was difficult for this, and soon had an idea, "Since this stalker is so obsessed with Sophie Carter, I have a way, he will definitely follow him out."

...

In the room, Joey Lawson was staring at the image reflected in the mirror by the magic.

Looking at it from a distance, untouchable, it turned out to be such a tormenting thing.

This was the first time in his life that he had such a strong desire for possession.

When he found out that he had been deceived, he only wanted to use this woman's life to wipe out the anger of being betrayed, but Smiling Libra proposed a more tempting plan to him. After listening to the housekeeper's sweet talk, the thought never stopped in his mind - to make her completely his own.

It was like a person addicted to drugs who knew that he was overdrawing his life, but still couldn't help but let those dangerous drugs enter his body. He also knew what the end would be if he was used by Smiling Libra all the way, but the benefits of this proposal... were so irresistible to him.

Power exists to live as you please.

Just then, he heard someone knocking on the door.

Joey turned his head alertly. He didn't tell anyone that he was staying here. People in the B\u0026B generally wouldn't bother him late at night. Excluding the possibility of mistaking the room, there was only...

Enemies?

Based on what he had done before, he also knew that he had made countless enemies.

Joey was preparing for battle in his heart, when a folded piece of paper was stuffed under the door.

Joey was stunned for a moment, then stood up and rushed to open the door - someone had thrown a letter to him. No matter what was written on the letter, catching the person who threw the letter would always help to find out the source of the letter.

But when he pulled the door open, he saw only an empty corridor.

He frowned suspiciously. There was no figure, and no footsteps were heard at all. The person who threw the letter seemed to have evaporated at the door in an instant.

Illusion? Sleight of hand?

After a brief thought, he closed the door, picked up the folded piece of letter paper, checked it, and opened it to check.

There were only two lines on the letter: "The Smiling Scales have deceived you. The person in the house is not the real Sophie Carter. Go to the window and look to the left front.

I will wait for you at the river in the south later."

Joey put down the letter and turned to the window, but did not let his entire upper body appear in the window to avoid being attacked. Instead, he used the wall as a cover, and half of his face was exposed from the edge of the window, looking out.

Under an oak tree outside the manor, a figure wearing a cloak and holding a lantern swayed and waved at him.

At this moment, Joey's eyes widened. The light of the lantern illuminated the man's face. The person who appeared under the oak tree... was Sophie Carter, whom he had been thinking about day and night!

He quickly cast the magic of "night vision" to make himself see more clearly, but at this time, "Sophie Carter" under the tree had turned and ran away.

Joey jumped out of the window without hesitation and walked in the direction of Sophie Carter's escape.

Although Sophie Carter disappeared for a few seconds, Joey quickly shortened the distance and brought her back into his sight.

The light of the lantern allowed him to clearly capture the other party's position. Under Sophie's guidance, he quickly left the area where the villagers lived and came to the river.

Then, Sophie stopped.

Joey also stopped, and at a distance of more than ten meters, he looked at Sophie's back.

"I didn't expect that you would appear in front of me in person." Joey took two steps forward, and Sophie slowly turned around.

Then, Joey suddenly pulled out a short stick and aimed at Sophie.

Sophie looked at him, and before she could react, a twisted lightning flashed from the end of Joey's short staff without warning, hitting Sophie directly. Sophie immediately fell to the ground and let out a shrill scream.

"Didn't you expect me to attack suddenly? Your disguise is very advanced. I don't know what kind of illusion you used. So it seems that the 'Sophie' in the room may indeed be fake..." Joey narrowed his eyes, "But you, I am sure, are definitely fake! How could the real Sophie Carter appear in front of me at this time?"

Even if it was a real person, it would not be wrong to attack first, Joey thought so, and this electric shock would not kill people.

"The power of this thing I use is not worse than a pistol." Joey said in a cold tone, "If you don't want to die here, answer me, who are you?"

Although he determined that the other party was a fake at the first sight, since the other party appeared in the appearance of Sophie Carter, he could not ignore it, not to mention that he was very concerned about the content written on the paper.

However, at this moment, something strange happened - in Joey's eyes, Sophie suddenly began to melt.
