Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 152: Broken Winged Angel
The Sun looked at Adele sympathetically and continued, "Sequence 5 Desire Apostles have the ability to control other people's desires and amplify them, causing people to die from emotional explosions. Therefore, they are extremely sensitive to human evil thoughts and have a much deeper understanding of similar things than others. Combined with the accumulation of the previous sequences, every Sequence 5 Desire Apostle has the blood of innocent people on his hands."

After "The Sun" finished speaking, he adjusted his sitting position and looked at Adele in silence for a long time.

After about ten seconds, Adele suddenly asked, "From your description, it seems that the turning point of the demon's temperament was the result of the magic potion that destroyed his conscience during the Sequence 8 'Cold-Blooded' period?"

Derrick hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "In theory, you can think so. The Cold-Blooded One was called the Broken-Winged Angel in ancient times, which means that this is an important turning point for the Demonic Path Beyonders to become corrupted and turn into true demons."

“So, is there a way to skip this stage, or circumvent the effects of this stage in some way?”

Adele asked, "Just like when Mr. Fool gave me protection and allowed me to skip the remaining half of the ritual."

Derrick was about to deny it when he suddenly fell into deep thought, as if he had remembered something. Adele dared not utter a word, and just waited quietly for Derrick to come up with a conclusion.

Finally, Derrick spoke slowly.

"There is a way, but it's just a hypothesis. If the changes in the child are irreversible by the time I arrive, you can try it."

"Oh? Could you please tell me more about it?"

Adele asked eagerly.

"'Sun' Path Sequence 4, the promotion ritual of 'No Darkness' requires one to separate the emotions that one is most reluctant to give up, then take the potion, and infuse these emotions in the process of taking it."

Derrick recalled, "You can ask Miss Justice to help strip Sophie of her emotions, and then have her unlock the Coldblooded trait in her body. Without her emotions, the Coldblooded trait will be quickly digested, and then you can have her unlock the Serial Killer trait and reinfuse her emotions. This may help avoid the effects of the Coldblooded trait."

"However, even if this method succeeds, it will be difficult to maintain humanity. After all, even if the key link of 'Cold-blooded' is missing, the influence of the Demonic Path on the Beyonder's mind cannot be underestimated."

"I can help." Justice Audrey interrupted, "I can help her detach her emotions and give you some other help. After all, you have also lost a lot. You can also make a request to me. This is a separate compensation for your work for me. It is not included in the reward from the Tarot Club."

"If possible, I need a magical item with psychological suggestion or hypnotic effects, preferably one that corresponds to Sequence 6." Adele nodded to Audrey gratefully, and then continued, "In addition, I have another thing I would like to ask for your help."

"While we don't mind doing one more thing, it's not within the compensation we were promised."

"Moon" Emlyn White frowned slightly.

"Yes, so this is not a reward I ask for, but more like an investment."

Adele's eyes flashed a sly smile, "A very profitable investment."

"Investment?" Audrey's eyes lit up. "I'm a little interested. Tell me about it."

"Actually, this is related to my current situation." Adele thought about the wording for a moment and said, "According to your commission, I have entered the Witch Cult and become a witch. I was sent by the head of the Backlund District, Gegran, to the powerless Feysac Gnosis Society to open up new land. On the way, I discovered that the sailors of the fleet I was about to board were preparing to mutiny and seize the fleet to become pirates."

"It's a very tortuous experience, suitable for writing into poetry or..." Leonard glanced at the empty seat of the "magician" and did not say the word "novel". "But what does this have to do with the investment you mentioned?"

"Of course it is related." Adele nodded. "In fact, the witch sect is extremely strict in vetting new members, especially witches. At Sequence 9 and Sequence 8, they are required to create some tragedies. This is both a requirement for the role and a token of loyalty."

"I didn't play the role in the traditional way when I was at Sequence 8, so I have to find an opportunity to make up for it now. I plan to instigate these mutinous crew members to fight among themselves, and then assassinate the mastermind when they kill each other. I will recruit the rest as my subordinates and give some of them assassin potions. This can also be regarded as helping the sect expand its influence, which should help me gain a more important position in the sect."

Adele explained her plan in detail. For some reason, even though she was only Sequence 7, she still made the men listening in feel a chill down their spines.

I don't know why, but I always feel that this "Queen" lady is a little scary...

Leonard swallowed and couldn't help but lift up the hair hanging by his ears to make himself look more masculine.

"It's a good plan, but I don't see where we need help." Audrey asked in confusion.

"This is just the beginning of the plan." Adele smiled slightly, "What I want to do is not just to receive a whaling fleet, but to monopolize the main channel between Feysac and Loen, that is, the privilege of the inter-sea area."

Without waiting for anyone to answer, Adele began to describe herself. "This incident made me more clear about one thing. If you want to hide your plan, the best option is not to use mystical means to hide it, but to make the plan involve enough people and the relationships are complicated enough so that others dare not easily pull out this thread."

"A factory that hides hundreds of demon embryos could actually survive for half a year in Backlund, a city with many official Beyonders. The network it needed was just an ordinary businessman with only a knight's title. If it weren't for the craftsman who summoned the demon in the end and exposed the matter, this matter might have been hidden for a year, two years, or even longer."

Adele looked around and found that everyone was thinking about what she said. She nodded with satisfaction and concluded:
"And what I'm going to say next is exactly what I need, and what I hope you can help with."

"Everyone, I need an opportunity. An opportunity for the Gnosis Society to step in front of the public in another way and walk into the shadows under the street lamp of the official Beyonders."
