Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 106 Chaos
At the same time, at No. 17 Rose Street.

"Listen, Vinata, I still feel like something's not right."

After pacing back and forth in the living room in annoyance for several times, Artair finally couldn't help but patted the shoulder of Vinata, who was working on a manuscript, to indicate that he had something to say.

"What do you think is wrong?"

Venata, who was already distracted by the sound of Altaïr's footsteps, sighed, put down the pen in her hand, turned around and asked Altaïr.

"This is not an accurate prediction... It's just that I always feel that something is about to happen, or is happening. In short, it is definitely not a good thing."

Altaïr hesitated, twisting his fingers nervously.

"Is there any way to confirm?"

Venata put the cap back on the pen. In the more than a month she had spent with Altaïr, she had rarely seen him so disturbed. This made her take this matter seriously.

"Don't you know how to use that pendulum for divination? Try it. At least you can figure out what happened first."

Altaïr nodded and untied the pendulum from the sleeve of his coat. Although he had the pendulum for some time, he had not yet made a habit of using it regularly for divination. It was not until Venata reminded him of this that he remembered it.

"Vinata and I will be in danger today."

Altaïr repeated the divination phrase seven times in his mind, relaxing his arm and letting the pendulum fall naturally.

Before Altaïr opened his eyes, he felt a heavy pulling sensation on his hand, as if what was hanging there was not a piece of citrine, but a block of lead of equal size. He could feel the pendulum in his hand spinning clockwise very quickly, almost breaking the silver chain.

Altaïr and Venata looked at each other, and saw the astonishment that was hard to conceal in each other's eyes.

This means that the two may be in fatal danger today, and even if they handle it properly, they may lose their lives!
"Let me confirm it again."

Altaïr had no time to be shocked, and quickly lowered the pendulum in his hand again, silently reciting the divination words.

"This danger comes from official Beyonders."

Then, the pendulum rotated counterclockwise at a normal speed.

It seems that this danger does not come from the recent official Beyonders' campaign to eliminate wild Beyonders...

Altaïr thought for a moment, then without hesitation walked to the coat rack and changed out of his home clothes.

"Let's go to the Harvest Church and hide out for a day. Let's pack up our things."

Venata nodded and quickly returned to her room to start tidying up. After changing his clothes, Altaïr simply sorted out his remaining potions, loaded his revolver with bullets, pre-loaded the extraordinary bullets into the replacement revolver, then picked up the Bloodletter and the wallet containing dozens of pounds in cash, and waited for Venata in the living room.

The two of them quickly went out and walked towards the Harvest Church on Rose Street. Although they did not encounter any enemies along the way, they were still very careful. It was not until they arrived at the church that they breathed a sigh of relief.

Since it has been confirmed that the danger does not come from the official Beyonders, relying on the official Beyonders is obviously a very good choice. Among the Beyonders of the Church that the two know, Sister Vespe, who is one of the two True Gods and is only one step away from the threshold of demigod, is obviously the best candidate for seeking shelter.

Today was not a sacrificial day for the Church of the Earth Mother, so not many people were in the Harvest Church. In fact, when Altaïr and the others came here, there were always few people in the church, and only when it was getting dark would people come. Thinking of the true identity of the Earth Mother, Altaïr seemed to have some guesses about the true faces of those believers.

"You two, is there anything going on?"

Sister Vespe seemed a little uneasy, pacing back and forth in the central courtyard of the church. When she saw Altaïr and Venata approaching, she was stunned for a moment, then managed a gentle smile and greeted them.

"I feel like the atmosphere is a little off. Whether it's spiritual premonition or divination, the results are not satisfactory, so we want to stay in the Mother Goddess Church for a day and leave at night."

Altaïr spoke straight to the point. There was no need to beat around the bush when dealing with the people of Feysac; being forthright in expressing one's request would often gain their approval.

"Sure enough, you also felt it..."

Sister Vesper nodded and let the two in. "I don't know what your method is, but since you used the egg of the agate peacock as the extraordinary material, you must be a very high-inspiration type. It's not surprising that you have a similar premonition."

"And I was originally planning to advance to Sequence 4 shortly before the end of the war, but the God of War suddenly..."

Sister Vespe paused, then continued.

"My ritual failed, so my promotion was naturally unsuccessful. In other words, if I wasn't a God-favored One, I would probably be dead now. However, through this attempt, I also mastered some abilities related to the Warrior Path Sequence 4 'Demon Hunter', such as the demon hunter's natural perception of evil creatures."

"In my perception range, demons are as obvious as ink spots on white paper. Even if it can't compare to the original 'demon hunter', this perception range is enough to cover most of the East District."

"So, what is the range you are sensing now?"

Venata interjected.

"Have you ever tried Feynaporte's cheese? That loose, porous hunk of dairy product?"

Sister Vespe suddenly asked out of nowhere.

"Have eaten, what's wrong?"

Venata asked doubtfully.

"The current situation in the East District is like a piece of Feynaport cheese. And those things from the abyss are like the holes in the cheese, all over the East District."

Sister Vespe said with a gloomy face.

"Is the situation so serious? Didn't you notice anything before?"

Altaïr was puzzled.

"The perception of a demon hunter is not omnipotent. Even I can't sense the demons hidden inside the human body beyond the extreme visual range. If they appear within my field of vision, I can find them. However, before, I have been living in seclusion because of my sensitive identity and have not encountered similar hosts."

Sister Vespe explained.

"Then why can we do it now..."

Altaïr was interrupted by Venata halfway through his question.

"Isn't the answer obvious?"

Venata cupped her hands slightly to her ears, pretending to listen. When Altaïr followed suit, he heard faint screams and roars from the open stained glass window, which came and went, echoing in the not-so-large church.

"Just now, they woke up."
