In a private room at the top of the hot spring stream, a woman with a bewitching face and a hot body is sitting quietly in the pool, allowing the stream to bring the inexplicable smell of her fair skin into the stream and flow to the various hot spring pools in the hotel.

This uncovered woman is Cecia, the "enchanting apostle" of the Berial family, and at the moment she closed her eyes, quietly feeling something, and only opened her eyes after a while.

Her pretty face was slightly red, as if she was intoxicated, and only after about a minute did she turn her head sideways, look in the direction of the downstream, and muttered to herself silently:

"It's worthy of the name, and the big detective who travels with three female companions...... What a brave man, such a strong desire...... Although I have the help of the 'breath' that spreads in the stream with the help of the 'charming words'...... But he's also so cooperative...... Hehe, it won't be long before I can completely control his desires, make him obey me, and take the initiative to give his 'devil' trait!

"Although this great detective is very famous and his strength seems to be very good, his weaknesses are too obvious and he doesn't know how to restrain himself...... Is it because it was too smooth before?

"Sure enough, it has a big background...... It's no wonder that the patriarch said so solemnly when he explained the task......

"I can't kill such a person with my own hands, and when he hands over his characteristics, I will design to attract the fools of 'Kill', 'Death', and 'Light', and use their hands to kill this detective and his companions.

"The only two troubles are the two eyesores of Nightmare and Mirror...... They're not like those three idiots, they still have some brains...... Surely it will not be deceived by such a superficial strategy.

"But they shouldn't know that I have already obtained the formula for the 'devil' potion, and I have already prepared the 'auxiliary materials' and completed the relevant rituals!

"Just give me a little time, and I'll be able to advance to the demigod! When the time comes, I must take good care of the 'nightmare' and 'mirror'!

"Let one of them look down on me because of the patriarch's favor, and one of them who is in charge of demigod-level items will completely ignore me!

"Once I become a demigod and receive the favor of that being, even if it is the position of the patriarch, I can't grab it!"

Just when she thought about it more and more, she became more and more excited, but she didn't notice that her spiritual island had opened up, and her own arrogant, jealous, greedy, and other emotions were rapidly expanding.

And the "black qi" that is difficult to detect with spiritual vision constantly flows down the pool water, along her expanding subconscious, and enters her spiritual island - that is the "devil of the heart"!

At this time, Cecia's breathing gradually became heavier, and a misty look appeared in her eyes, and she unconsciously said, "It's almost there...... The highest peak of the detective is coming, and the apex of desire is coming! This is the time! ”

With that, she stretched out her palm and shook it sharply.

Then, feeling that her actions were completely out of control, she called her subordinates and told them that she had succeeded and was about to be promoted to "Devil......

At the same time, she issued an order for them to guard the outside of the hotel, completely ignoring the few inner ghosts she had already identified.

It wasn't until Cecia felt herself stand up and walk towards the detective's room that the last of her lucid consciousness finally came to her senses:

"What am I doing?

"Am I not going to kill that detective with 'detonating' desires? Why temporarily switch to control him? And made a plan that made more sense than I expected?

"I've been preparing the 'devil' ritual for a long time? But when did I get that recipe?

"No...... That recipe came to me out of nowhere...... Someone has done something in my heart!

"That detective's strong desire is in disguise...... He reversely controlled me! ”

At this thought, the "Enchanting Apostle" Cecia made a final effort, trying to use spirituality to outline symbols, trigger a spell engraved in her body, and then quickly "demonize" to break free from control.

But what Cecia didn't know was that she could have these thoughts, and it was also Abner's "arrangement" that wanted her to expose her hole cards herself.

It was the spiritual "symbol" that had just finished most of it, and a shining star had just appeared on her radiant back, when everything came to an abrupt end...... Cecia is completely unconscious!

It turned out that she had already entered Abner's room at this time, and entered the "ceremony" that had already been arranged with the high-grade items of the "Black Emperor" path as the core.

And with the help of the ability to "use" and "distort", the "devil" soul herded by the "magic mirror" completely occupied her mind and body.

"Master......" Checia, under the control of the "Magic Mirror", greeted Abner with some rustiness.

Abner nodded, then caused "Cecia" to turn, revealing her back with the "star" still visible.

It's not that he's awakened to any bad habits, it's that the star, and the "symbol" that Cecia sketched at the end, all feel familiar to him.

"The Witch of Pain Rey escaped from the control of the Primordial Moon with the help of three relics and fled to Councilor Mahert's estate, where she was met by me and Lady Daly, and carved similar symbols and patterns in the carriage......

"In the 'Daniel's Labyrinth', the same pattern and symbol that automatically appeared when sacrificing '1-025' was made......

"And if nothing else...... They should be the symbol of the 'Mother Tree of Desire'!

"This spell engraved in Cecia's body and used as a hole card has the effect of a demigod-level curse, and the curse is related to her breath!

"Although I have long guessed that the elders of the Belial family will not be simple, if I didn't choose to secretly shadow her, but rely on the 'manipulator' to forcibly control her, I am afraid that I have already eaten a curse given by the mother tree!"

Thinking of this, Abner couldn't help but feel glad that even though he had received the "epic" enhancement of the three gods, he had not become "floating".

"Thanks to Beria's name...... After all, how can a person who can become an elder in this kind of former angel family not have a strong hole card? ”

After some emotion, Abner lifted the "mechanical mind", looked at the "Cecia" controlled by the "magic mirror", and asked:

"What other extraordinary items does this 'Enchanting Apostle' have?"

As he spoke, he looked at the red gemstone necklace around the neck of the charming woman in front of him, and the silver ring on his finger......

After all, she was the most eye-catching with these two items.

"The host...... She...... Most of the items she has obtained over the years have either been handed over to her family or given to her subordinates, plus as an 'Apostle of Desire', her own abilities are very powerful, and ordinary magical items are not of much use to her......

"So, the only thing she has been wearing for a long time is the 'Word of Charm' necklace and the 'Whisper of the Wind' ring.

"Among them, the 'Charming Language' is created with the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Potions Professor', which can release a variety of 'breaths' that make people desire, and then manipulate the people or animals who are 'charmed' through the 'breath'...... It can be said that half of Cecia's ability to have the name of 'Enchanting Apostle' is due to this item.

"The negative effect of this stuff is an extreme thirst for fresh blood...... This is actually nothing for a demon, which is why he has been carried by Cecia for a long time.

"The other 'Whisper of the Wind' has the ability to manipulate the 'wind', which allows it to use many abilities such as 'Flight', 'Wind Blade', 'Wind Restraint', etc., to make up for Cecia's lack of 'action' ability1......

"Its negative effect is fear of the sea...... Makes the wearer afraid of the sea. The "Magic Mirror" manipulated "Cecia", and her speech gradually became fluent from the initial stiffness.

Is it okay to fear the sea as an extraordinary item of the "Wind Favorer"'s ability? Was this ring killed by which "Sea King" during his lifetime?

After complaining, Abner asked "Cecia" to keep two items for the time being, and took a yukata for him to wear on his body, after all, he had ended his "mechanical mind", and there was always such a smooth beauty dangling in front of him, which made him a little embarrassed.

Without looking at the process of "Cecia" putting on the yukata, Abner, who looked away, asked instead, "Who do you think will try to attack first?" ”

"The Magic Mirror" knew Abner's plan to pretend to be captured and then let the demons kill each other, so after integrating "Cecia's" memories, he replied:

"'Light' and 'Kill' are in the worst state, as 'Cecia' just thought, and when the mole spreads the news, the 'half-crazy' will be the first to hold back.

"And those demons under their control, naturally they will not question the order, and those who are not controlled have their own thoughts, I am afraid that they are very willing to see the fire of the 'apostles', once any of them die, it will be their chance!

"The state of 'death' is similar, but his men are all undead puppets, and they are relatively more united...... But he probably received the news much later than the other two.

"The most troublesome thing is the 'mirror', his mirror ability is difficult to predict, and his state is almost the best among all the apostles...... And, perhaps, he still has a difficult seal in his hand. ”

The intelligence level of the "Magic Mirror" to only open a seal is not enough to analyze so much content, which is borrowed from the wisdom of "Cecia" and the herded "Devil", but it still can't take the initiative to think, and will only use "Checia's" brain after Abner gives the order.

After listening to the analysis of the "magic mirror", Abner nodded silently, because this was about the same as his judgment.

"'Mirror'? That's all the tricks you can play......"

Abner glanced at the hot spring pool in the room, then pretended to be restrained and sat down on Cecia's side, while the Magic Mirror also "disguised" itself as an "extraordinary trait" and fell into the hands of Cecia, who was being controlled by it.

……

In another room of Gentle Words, Firth, Elaine, and Fanny wanted to take off their clothes and take a dip in the pool after a short rest.

But at this time, the "orange cat" who had been squatting next to him suddenly said: "If I were you, I wouldn't go to the bath." "After all, this pool of water has been filled......

Only then did the three ladies suddenly realize that there was a cat in the house, but they didn't pay much attention to it, and Furth asked even more strangely, "Why?" ”

"Aren't you afraid of that detective peeping?" Fearing that he would sabotage Abner's plan and cause unnecessary variables, Leon felt that he had handled it very well, and that the detective would be satisfied.

"It's no ...... show Abner," Fanny straightened her chest, rightfully speaking.

"Abner is not that kind of person." Furth shook his head.

"It's not you...... boss," Elaine said as she thought of Detective Brian's "healthy" daily life.

"Cut, you've only seen the kid's ...... on the surface," Leon the "Lion" smiled like a rather obscene smile in the eyes of humans, and continued,

"You should know that 'Detective' has an extraordinary ability called 'Backtracking'......

"But do you know what the effect of this ability looks like?"
