Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 175 Acting

After their injuries were healed, Adele and her companions stayed overnight on the Black Death.

Vice Admiral Disease's fleet rescued some of the sailors who fell into the water, but the remaining unlucky sailors fell into a remote location, and sharks arrived one step ahead of the rescue ship.

"How do you plan to arrange these sailors?" Tracy asked Adele beside her while standing on the high bridge. "They don't seem to be under your control. Even if they are, such a big incident happened at sea. When we return to Constance, it will definitely attract official Beyonders to investigate. We can't hide it by instigation alone."

"Don't worry." Adele smiled mysteriously, "We are not the only ones who are concerned about this matter. If you hadn't come today, that big shot would have come here to help the sect solve the follow-up problems."

"Oh? A sect... No, what other organizations did Aunt Gagran contact to do this?"

Tracy asked curiously.

"The founder of the Psychological Alchemy Society, the angel of the Audience Path."

Adele closed her eyes slightly, as if sensing something. Then, she opened her eyes and said to Tracy, "Clear the deck, let's go meet the old man...?"

As Adele was speaking, the pirates on the deck suddenly left on their own accord, carrying their captives neatly down the gangway on both sides, leaving a large area free.

A huge white rabbit wearing an exquisite court dress appeared out of nowhere on the deck. It bowed slightly to the two of them in a slightly comical manner and said in an old voice: "Good afternoon, ladies. Our time is limited, so let's finish quickly."

The corners of Tracy and Adele's mouths twitched at the same time. This small movement was also noticed by "Hermes". The corners of her mouth slightly outlined a smile that Adele was familiar with. She explained to the two of them: "Don't mind it. This outfit is just my personal interest and hobby."

Hey, although you are going to use the name of Hermes, is it really okay for you to casually create an angel with rabbit ears and wear women's clothes?
Adele suddenly felt a little amused and discovered that Miss Justice was a very vengeful person.

……

After confirming that Hermes was behind Backlund's Angel Fall, "Justice" Audrey and Adele initially conceived a plan to play Hermes.

Originally, Hermes and Miss Justice were high and low in the same path, and the difference between them was like the front and back rows in a theater. Audrey couldn't see Hermes, but Hermes could find a way to observe Audrey's actions and make corresponding plans. In this way, all Audrey's plans would be difficult to succeed.

Previously, Audrey's strategy was to erase as many traces of her actions as possible and to conduct an intelligence war with Hermes in the traditional way to the best of her ability. Unfortunately, even with the help of the Tarot Club, her background was far inferior to that of the ancient angels who had been active since the Second Age.

Now, Audrey's countermeasure was to pretend to be Hermes, and the focus changed from playing her own chess to destroying Hermes' chess moves, which was equivalent to setting up a mirror in front of her seat, so that Hermes could only see the impact caused by the fake self. If He leaned over to destroy the mirror, it would mean that His whereabouts were exposed to Audrey.

In addition, because Hermes was farther away from the stage and had a wider field of vision than Audrey, when He wanted to influence the actors who were not Extraordinary Audiences and give them feedback, His voice was not as loud as Audrey's who was closer to the audience.

Miss Justice is more involved in the real world and has multiple identities. She wants to personally influence the situation, which is much more convenient than Hermes... Although this will inevitably attract Hermes' attention, it doesn't matter. Hermes is in a high sequence anyway, and he can see Miss Audrey at any time if he wants to pay attention. Even if Audrey "Justice" really did something, He could only watch. If He continued to plan for these, more traces would appear, and Audrey would observe more directly.

Adele thought so in her heart. She chose to start with the Witch Cult because Gaglan was not on good terms with most of the higher-ups in the cult, and no one would really ask her for confirmation.

While Adele was daydreaming, Audrey, disguised as Hermes, had already taken action.

The furry rabbit she transformed into suddenly grew layers of tiny dragon scales on its front legs, with countless tiny three-dimensional symbols engraved on them.

They extend into the flesh and blood and outward to the surrounding void, as if intertwined into something that does not belong to the real world. Just seeing them makes people mentally confused and their thoughts distorted. Their spirits are contaminated by all kinds of thoughts that seem to come from the heart, and they wish to tear themselves apart or destroy themselves.

All the crew members on the Little Warhorse were startled for a moment, then they lowered their heads respectfully and continued with their work.

However, their memories had been preliminarily modified to make them believe from the bottom of their hearts that they had only experienced a tragic crew mutiny, and that the sailors eventually fought hard to regain control of the ship. They did not encounter any supernatural forces or the Black Death in the process.

Afterwards, Audrey separated out a part of the rebellious sailors and instilled in them the memory of their failed rebellion and eventual capture by the crew. Finally, she cast psychological invisibility on the entire "Black Death". This psychological invisibility would only be lifted automatically when the "Black Death" completely disappeared from the sight of every crew member of the Little Warhorse.

"When we get to the port over there, a new memory will appear in their minds, that is, you have purchased the remaining ships of this fleet for 30,000 pounds, which can be paid in ten installments, 3,000 pounds each. You can use the money you have to pay a down payment. It is expected that within ten days, the subsequent payment will be delivered to you in a reasonable manner, including the legal identity to receive the money."

Audrey looked at Adele meaningfully and said, "When that time comes, I will modify your memory so that you can handle the next investigation more easily."

"I hope you won't disappoint me."

Then, without saying hello to Tracy, she slowly faded and disappeared into the air. After she disappeared, everyone's actions returned to normal, but no one was surprised that they had moved inexplicably.

"What do you think?"

Adele pulled the sleeve of Tracy, who seemed a little dazed, and asked the pirate general deliberately.

"Anyway...He is truly an angel with unique tastes."

Tracy hesitated for a moment and commented quietly.
