Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 239 A strange combination of circumstances
After a brief chat with Natalie, Adele got a general idea of ​​the status of the bar witches.

After parting with Gagran, these witches traveled all the way to Constance. However, they were also put on the wanted list of the Church of Night and Storm. Since Miss Hall and the official Beyonders arrived in Constance, they felt that the atmosphere in the city had changed in some way, which made them quite worried.

Therefore, as soon as the "Honeysuckle Queen" arrived at the port, it was discovered by Aphra, who was on guard. Afterwards, the witches destroyed the items that might expose their identities and jumped directly into the sea to swim to the ironclad ship.

Besides Adele, Wendy was the only Mid-Sequence Beyonder on Adele's ship. Facing four witches who were good at infiltration, she was clearly not up to the task, so they quickly arrived at the captain's room.

The arrival of these witches was undoubtedly a good thing for Adele. Not only would they play an important role in the upcoming voyage to the Abyssal Whirlpool, but they would also be of great use when returning to the Esco family.

Afterwards, Adele waited in the captain's room for half an hour until the four witches finished their bath and returned to the captain's room.

The witches in sailor uniforms look quite magical and are very pleasing to the eye.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, I'll briefly tell you about what's going to happen next."

Adele turned her gaze away from the playful Leila and Lisette, cleared her throat, and spoke to the four witches.

"We only plan to stay in Constance for one day. The day after tomorrow morning we have to set off for the 'Abyss Whirlpool' in the north of the Sonia Sea. The sect has something to deal with there."

"Don't get off the ship for the rest of the day. I'll ask Wendy to buy you anything you need. I'm going to get off the ship tomorrow to do something, so I'll have to leave you guys alone on the ship. If you need anything, go find Wagner. I've given him an assassin potion."

Adele explained lightly.

"No problem. We'll follow your instructions." Natalie nodded. "I'll have them write a list and give it to Miss Wendy later."

"Well, then there will be no problem in this regard for the time being...if everything goes well. But before that, I still need to confirm."

Adele nodded slightly, then her expression became serious and she asked the four witches:
"You said that the atmosphere felt wrong. Can I understand that you have been targeted by the Beyonders of the Church of Evernight? Please answer this truthfully. This is related to the next step."

The four witches looked at each other, and then Lisette spoke up, "I have always been responsible for the security around the hotel. I always feel that the patrols on the streets have been strengthened recently. I heard from the neighbors that there are patrolmen checking door to door in the streets next door."

"This is a common reconnaissance method used by the Church of the Night. They first have ordinary people come to investigate, and then send people to investigate in dreams at night to compare the testimonies."

Adele commented, "In a metropolis like Backlund where the church has a huge influence, similar investigation methods are often used. But can this method be used to investigate a place like Constanton City where the main belief is the Lord of Storms?"

“So I think it’s very strange.”

Lisette nodded. "According to the progress of the investigation, it will probably take another two to three days for them to find the hotel where we live. Our original plan was to wait until he found the street next door, and then we would move to the place that those people had investigated before."

"But your fleet is here just in time, saving us the trouble of fighting guerrilla warfare with the Nighthawks."

Leila slumped down on the sofa, leaning against Natalie, quite relaxed.

"It's indeed a bit strange. To be on the safe side, I asked Wendy to reduce her activities as much as possible and only purchase the minimum necessities of life. After I meet Miss Hall, we will leave here immediately."

Adele frowned and thought for a while, but still couldn't figure out anything, so she decided to give up.

"Everyone, please go back to your rooms and rest. Three of you will stay with Wendy, and one will stay with me."

Adele stood up and dragged out another camp bed from the corner of the captain's room and put it together with her own bed to prevent the camp bed from sliding due to the shaking of the ship.

"You don't get many opportunities to sleep with Adele, right?"

"If he had proposed this two months ago, Lisette would probably be very happy, right?"

Hearing Adele's words, the witches chattered excitedly, and Adele showed an awkward smile on her face.

……

At this moment, low singing was echoing in the Seaside Dream Hotel.

"Ah, the threat of fear, the crimson hope!

At least one thing is true: this life flies by.

One thing is true, the rest are lies,
After the flower blooms once, it will die..."

This poem had the power to relax and soothe people, causing everyone in the hotel to fall asleep.

Britten, dressed in a black tuxedo, walked into the hotel door while inspiring spirituality and singing a soothing song.

He had an iron blue violin bag on his back, but what he took out of the bag and held in his hand was not a classical musical instrument worthy of being performed in a formal hall, but a submachine gun with a strange shape and full of mechanical beauty.

Seal 2-172, "Loved or Feared by Bankers".

It looks like a dark-colored violin bag with two pockets, one large and one small. The large pocket cannot be opened normally, and will only open automatically when a coin is put into the small pocket.

当投入的硬币面值高于一个值的时候，打开大包可以得到属于不眠者途径封印物的小提琴，2-172-1；投入的硬币面值低于这个值的时候，将会出现相当于猎人途径序列5“收割者”的冲锋枪2-172-2。

The value would be based on the median weekly wage in the user's city, but generally speaking, just £1 in cash was enough for Britten to take out the violin.

After taking a look at the surroundings, Britton made a gesture to Lolota behind him. The other party understood and kicked open the door in front of him. Then he quickly stepped aside.

The moment Lorota made way for the door, the submachine gun in Britton's hand roared loudly, forming a white line of fire, cutting and smashing everything within the range. Fortunately, Britton's sleeping ability made the people around him sleep soundly.

Without hesitation, Britton emptied his magazine and stepped cautiously into the messy room. However, there was no blood splattered in the room, no possible resistance, only shattered glass windows and broken furniture fragments scattered on the floor.
