Chapter 200: The Witch of Pleasure (The Second Monthly Pass)
Synonymous with war...... A similar sequence of the witch's path...... Which one could it be?" Klein watched the holographic cinematic scene, thinking back to the sequences he knew.
Since he is only an official member of the Night Watcher, he has no access to a lot of information, and he is almost blind to the names and corresponding characteristics of the middle and high sequences, only knowing the "Priest of Light" and "Darkless One" peeping from the "Eternal Sun", the "Dawn Knight", "Guardian", and "Demon Hunter" of the "God of War" path that he learned from the mouth of the "Sun" boy, and the "Necromantic Mentor" and "Gatekeeper" revealed by Daly and Dunn.
Therefore, it is difficult for him to accurately judge whether a sequence path is synonymous with war, and can only adopt the method of elimination, such as the "God of War" path does not look like a war, but a single battle.
With his thoughts turning, Klein narrowed it down to five:
One is the sequence of "arbiters" jointly mastered by the Augustus family, the rulers of the Kingdom of Rune, and the Castian family of the Fenerport Kingdom, but Klein feels that this is the smallest possible one, because the corresponding sequence 8 of the "arbiter" is "sheriff", and sequence 7 is "interrogator", which seems to be developing in the direction of trial and adjudication, rather than war.
The second is the way represented by the "Black Emperor" of the Solomon Empire in the Quaternary Period, the modern name of its sequence 9 is "lawyer", who is good at discovering and exploiting loopholes in the rules and the weakness of opponents, and has extremely excellent eloquence and speculative logic, which is the way that Klein believes may be the second lowest, and he suspects that the development of this sequence is to use the rules and walk in the shadow of order, of course, war is also one of the shadows of order.
The third is the "hunter" path that is in the hands of the Einhorn family, the ruler of the Fersak Empire, the Sauron family, the former royal family of the Republic of Intis, and the "Iron Cross Society", a secret organization that has only emerged in the last two or three hundred years.
The description of "Hunter" in the Nightwatch's internal data is that he is an excellent tracker, an excellent trap expert, and an excellent hunter, corresponding to the name of Sequence 8 as "Provocateur" and Sequence 7 as "Arsonist", all of which have a certain connection to killing and war.
The fourth is the "criminal" path mastered by the ancient organization "Blood Worship Sect" that follows demons, and from the name of the sequence alone, Klein feels that it has a lot of possibilities.
The fifth is the "prisoner" path in the hands of the "Rose School", which is famous for its bloody sacrifices, for the same reason as the previous one.
Just as Klein's thoughts were wandering, the scene changed again, and Mrs. Sharon had just finished bathing, her hair was damp down, and her face had a fresh and seductive charm.
"I couldn't see the appearance of the white-robed woman who led Lady Sharon to become a witch...... I guess my psychic abilities aren't enough......" Crane retracted his thoughts and returned his attention to the immediate position.
Mrs. Sharon brushed her hair, and droplets of water seemed to slip down her face.
She looked at the man waiting on the bed and snickered lowly:
"Need me to help you with Maynard?"
The middle-aged and elderly man on the bed frowned and shook his head: "Unless you can promise not to leave a trace, but this is impossible, and what can you do?"
Seeing this gentleman, Klein was stunned for a moment, and then felt that it was expected.
Photographs of the middle-aged and elderly man, who often appeared on the first pages of newspapers such as the Tingen City Honest Newspaper, are the current mayor and a member of the Conservative Party who is seeking re-election.
Mrs. Sharon smiled, and without going into the subject, her nightdress was half-faded, and she walked vaguely to the bed.
The scene changed one after another, and Klein saw a number of councillors, businessmen, and government employees who appeared in the city's newspapers from time to time.
They discuss how to collect donations, or communicate how to bribe voters around the Election Act, or promise protections and solve problems, in which Mrs. Sharon plays the role of "broker."
This is actually a documentary...... "Mrs. Sharon Takes You to the Upper Circle of Tingen...... Well, why do so many scenes have beds...... Many nobles and parliamentarians know that Mrs. Sharon has many mistresses, why do they still look like they can't stand the temptation...... Is this Mrs. Sharon's sequential ability?Klein read it thoughtfully, muttering to himself both speculative and complaining.
After the channeling just now, he confirmed one thing, that is, none of those guys in the upper circles of Tingen knew the true identity of Mrs. Sharon, and did not actively cooperate with her in the murder of Councilor Maynard.
In other words, Congressman Maynard's death was Mrs. Sharron's own initiative, and why did she do this, she didn't have to risk it?
Of course, from Mrs. Sharon's point of view, she has the extraordinary ability to interfere with divination, and she can create a sudden death of love without any problems on the surface, and it is not too risky to solve Congressman Maynard, and it is easy to expose herself, but her motives are obviously insufficient, and they are not in harmony with the risks that need to be taken, and they do not match!
Could this be her "play"? But she could have found a target with a less sensitive status, so that the case would not need the help of the Night Watchman, the Punisher, or the member of the Mechanical Heart.
And more importantly, Mrs. Sharon should have seen that Councillor Maynard's wife hated her, full of unwillingness, and it was unlikely that someone would investigate her, so why didn't she move sensitive items such as the Bone Statue in advance, such as burying them somewhere in the garden?
Is she so confident in the safe, in the mezzanine, and in the arrangement?
In confusion, Crane saw that Mrs. Sharon's spirit had not yet dissipated significantly, so he seized the time to do another "dream divination".
The content of his divination this time is:
"Mrs. Sharron's real motive for killing John Maynard. ”
After meditating, Klein re-entered the dream and saw a new scene again:
Mrs. Sharon paced the room with a glass of blood-red wine and a loose nightdress, and at last she drank the rest of the wine in one gulp, as if she had made up her mind.
The scene quickly dissipated, and Klein became more and more confused, as the death of Councilman Maynard appeared to have been done voluntarily by Mrs. Sharon and was not instigated by anyone.
"Strange ......," Crane muttered to himself, and tried a few more times with other divination phrases, but the answer was no different.
Seeing that Mrs. Sharon was gradually becoming transparent, constantly illusory, and about to disappear, Crane thought for a moment and made a final channel:
"The sequence potion recipe for the witch pathway. ”
"The sequence potion recipe for the witch pathway. ”
......
Klein silently recited the new divination phrase, and with the help of meditation, quickly fell into the dream.
He originally didn't want to do this divination, because he thought that the "witch" path belonged to the type of spreading disasters and causing suffering, and even if he obtained the corresponding potion formula, he was not willing to sell it to others and act as an indirect murderer.
But in a blink of an eye, he remembered one of the previous events: his knowledge of the "audience" potion recipe had led him to suspect and confirm that Daxter Guderian was a member of the Psychological Alchemy Society.
Therefore, in order to better deal with witches in the future, it is essential to understand the characteristics of their sequence paths.
Well, after the death of Hood Eugen, Dast Guderian has not contacted me, it must be that the Psychological Alchemy Society has sent a more powerful member to investigate, and he does not dare to take any action...... In a flash of thought, Crane saw the deep hall again, and saw the woman in the white holy robe.
Mrs. Sharon lowered her head, and could only see the other's legs, a pair of flawless legs.
Soon, she heard a voice as beautiful as a song:
"'Pleasure', that's the name of the Sequence 6 potions, and it's what you're about to be promoted, and if you succeed, you're the 'Witch of Pleasure'. ”
"Irresistible pleasure is one of the painful ones, and that's the adage you have to follow. ”
"As long as you complete the promotion, in addition to the ability of the 'witch' in all aspects, you will also become more beautiful, good at seduction, good at giving unforgettable joy to the opposite sex or the same sex in love, you can make strange silk threads like a spider and make the most of them. ”
Immediately after, an ancient book made of silver appeared in front of Mrs. Sharon, and after it was spread out, she wrote the recipe and placed the materials on the other:
"Main material: a pair of eyes of a succulent banshee, and a silk gland of an adult widow giant spider. ”
"Auxiliary materials: 100 ml of pure water, 5 drops of black mandala juice, all the remaining hair of the Banshee, 10 grams of powder crushed from Fenerport flies, 5 grams of real mummy ashes. ”
The picture changed again, the same deep hall, the same white robe with a high opening on the skirt, the same woman who could not see her face, but the difference was that Mrs. Sharon changed back to her original appearance, back to the young man in the photo.
A beautiful female voice echoed in my ears:
"That's the name of the Sequence 7 potion, and I think you're surprised. ”
"Yes, I can't believe it's called 'The Witch'!" said Mrs. Sharon, slightly agitated.
"You remember, if we want to get closer to the Beginning, we have to become more and more like Him, and He is a woman, and we must be women. The beautiful female voice replied, "You will either give up or you will have to accept it, and after becoming a witch, you will become a real woman, and you will be greatly enhanced in appearance and charm, you will have the ability to become invisible and use stand-ins, you will have the first mastery of all kinds of black magic, you will be good at interfering with other people's divination, and you will be favored by Black Flame and Frost." ”
"The main ingredients are: all the blood of the Black Abyss Demon Fish, the egg of the Agate Peacock. ”
"The auxiliary materials are: 80 ml of pure water, 5 drops of golden mandala juice, 3 scales of the shadow lizard, 10 drops of daffodil juice. ”
......
Scene after scene flashed, Crane saw the recipe of the "Instigator", saw the recipe of the "Assassin", and learned about their corresponding characteristics.
When he wanted to continue divination, Lady Sharon's spirit completely dissipated.
Exiting the ritual and returning to reality, Crane packed up the materials, lifted the spiritual wall, and told Dunn Smith all the gains of the psychic without concealment, and then expressed his doubts about Mrs. Sharron's murder of Councillor Maynard.
"'Pleasure' really doesn't need to kill people of higher status and status...... Well, we'll have to find out where Lady Sharon has been over the years, find out where she really came from, and find out the deep hall you see, and of course, this needs to be reported to the Templar, and they will arrange it, and we can't leave Tingen at will. Dunn bowed his head slightly, looked around and said, "You go to the first floor, check if those servants are still asleep, if someone has woken up and noticed the movement here, bring him over, sign a confidentiality treaty according to the process, and I will be in charge of the second floor." ”
He had found a black cloth and covered the seal "3-0271"
Hearing this, Crane suddenly understood why the servants and attendants had not been able to get the servants and attendants in the fierce battle just now, because the captain had put them into a deep sleep at the beginning.
Crane's body was still a little cold and stiff, and he could only slow down his pace, moving very lightly and slowly.
As he passed by the bedroom door, he reached out and forcefully pulled out the two tarot cards embedded in them, wiped them, and put them back in his pocket.
After leaving the room, he walked towards the staircase.
After taking a few steps, he suddenly thought of a problem, that is, how to confirm that the other party was asleep.
It's troublesome to try it one by one by divination...... The captain is a "nightmare" and an expert in this area, so I'll have to ask him if there's a quick and concise solution.
As soon as he thought of it, Crane turned around, still fighting the cold and stiffness, and moved step by step towards the bedroom door.
Before he could get closer, his gaze pierced through the open door and saw a shattered full-length mirror diagonally facing him.
It was still half hanging from the frame, cracking palm after palm-sized lens.
In the cracked mirror, Dunn Smith, dressed in a black trench coat, was half-lying next to Kornley's body, unaware of what he was doing.
Suddenly, he raised his head, his gray eyes dark and deep, and his mouth was stained with dark red blood.
Dark red blood.
Crane subconsciously turned around and left the door, leaning his back against the wall.
