Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 149 Instigation
After getting ready, Adele waited for a few seconds before deliberately slowing down to open the door. At the same time, she did not forget to put Vinata's package into the closet and put her own package on the bed.

Her footsteps were neither light nor heavy, which was the basic skill of an assassin, being able to control the volume of her footsteps. The sound should be loud enough for the people outside to hear that someone was coming, but it should not be too heavy, which would be inconsistent with the impression given by the answering voice.

While doing this, she held her breath and only let it go when she reached the door, which made her look a little out of breath.

Then, Adele opened the door and saw the mutinous sailor outside. The sailor seemed a little surprised to see that it was not Wendy who opened the door, but then he was attracted by Adele's appearance.

Adele's hair was a little messy at this time. She had taken off her coat in the warm room, revealing the thin silk casual dress underneath. The hollow pattern on her chest made the snow-white skin underneath faintly visible.

There was a mixture of melancholy and fatigue in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and she was breathing slightly. The smell of perfume on her body mixed with sweat was blown into the nose of the sailor in front of her by the warm wind in the room, making him stunned for a moment.

"Sir, is there any dust on my face?"

Adele ignored the sailor's explicit gaze and asked him in a puzzled manner.

"Ah... sorry, I just didn't expect there would be anyone in this engine room."

The sailor finally reacted and quickly explained.

He is indeed an ordinary person who can't even lie... If you didn't know there was someone in the engine room, you wouldn't have knocked on the door just now.

Adele confirmed that the other party had been initially fascinated by her appearance, so she immediately stepped up her offensive. "Rather than this, can you do me a favor? My luggage is a bit heavy, and I tried several times just now but couldn't put it on that shelf..."

As she spoke, she leaned forward slightly, allowing the sailor to vaguely see something he shouldn't have seen.

"Yes, no problem, beautiful lady, I will not hesitate to do so... No, I mean, I will not refuse."

Just one look, under the blessing of the witch's charm, the sailor almost completely fell. When he heard that the lady in front of him wanted to entrust him to do something, he was so excited that he couldn't even speak clearly.

Adele stood beside the sailor, watching him frantically sorting out his belongings and placing them carefully.

"Thank you, kind sir."

Adele feigned a happy bow and said, "If possible, I would like to know your name."

"Wagner, my name is Wagner, ma'am," the sailor replied, flattered. "It's just a simple favor."

"I still want to thank you, Mr. Wagner," Adele knelt down again, "Maybe for you, this is just a small favor, but for a single mother like me, every timely help from a stranger means a lot."

"A single mother? Could it be that you are - sorry, I shouldn't ask these questions."

With Adele's deliberate distribution of stress, even though Wagner had lost the ability to think independently, he still noticed the implicit meaning in Adele's words.

"It's okay..." Adele showed a sad expression at the right time, "To be honest, my husband passed away some time ago, so I had to take our daughter back to my hometown in Feysac... Now, my personal maid and bodyguard took her out to play, and I felt a little unwell, so I stayed on the ship alone."

"Please don't be too sad, ma'am." Wagner said hurriedly and attentively, "There is a bell in your room that connects to my room. Just pull the bell rope and I will come right over. If you need anything, please feel free to ask."

"Thank you, you are such a kind gentleman... Oh, Statham was as considerate as you when he was still alive..."

Adele realized that the time was almost right, and she began to sob softly with her face covered, crying like a pear blossom in the rain. At the same time, she also exerted the power of the instigator, making everyone who heard it sad and everyone who saw it cry.

"It's okay, ma'am. Everything will pass... Maybe you will soon find a partner who is just as good as him or even better than him to soothe your inner pain?"

Wagner was also an old sailor. Although he was already fascinated by Adele, he still knew what to do at this time. He sat next to Adele and patted her back gently. It seemed to be comforting, but in fact he was stroking her smooth back through Adele's thin shirt.

Adele only felt an electric shock-like sensation where she was touched, which made her body suddenly tense up, as if something was broken, and her spirituality surged like a flood.

In the previous moment, the witch potion in Adele's body was largely digested, and the resulting surge in spirituality made her shudder.

In other words, the role of a witch not only requires one to face one's own thoughts, be clear about what one loves and hates, and have no taboos, but also requires one to control other people's emotions and make the other person connect with oneself?
Adele had a lot of ideas in her mind at once, but she had to deal with Wagner in front of her first.

"Thank you for your comfort, sir. I feel better now." Adele wiped her tears and smiled faintly. "Now, can you let me be quiet for a while? I may have to trouble you frequently during this voyage."

"Of course, ma'am, your will is my will."

Wagner quickly stopped what he was doing, stood up, bowed to Adele, then turned and left. In his haste, he bumped into the door frame.

When Wagner left the room, the sad smile and expression on Adele's face suddenly disappeared. She reached out to wipe the dust off her face, then stood up expressionlessly, walked into the bathroom, and then lay over the toilet and vomited violently.

The area on her back where Wagner had touched her felt a pricking sensation, as if it was a physical stress response after a severe mental shock. It seemed as if the skin there had rotted, and something like maggots were crawling inside. However, when Adele turned her head and looked in the mirror, she found that the skin there was still smooth and white.

What happened to me? Why did I complete that series of actions so naturally?

Adele retched for a while, and only recovered after she had vomited out most of the whale meat she had eaten at noon.

This potion is affecting my personality...

Adele felt a little scared. This reminded her of the meaningful words said by the official Beyonder who sold her the role-playing method. She had never understood the true meaning of that sentence, but today, she finally understood it.

“Always remember, you are just acting!”
