Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 259: Katarina's Plot

I always feel like there's something wrong with this matter...

Based on her own experience of dealing with important people, Adele instinctively felt that Katarina's reaction was abnormal.

She couldn't explain why for a moment, but she felt that the other party's attitude changed too quickly, which made her wonder if there was some conspiracy.

Deleting his own memory also has disadvantages. It makes his judgment decline, and he lacks similar behavioral judgment standards when facing demigod-level figures.

But there is one thing Adele is sure of, Catalina does not really believe that she has no relationship with Gagran, and seems to be still waiting for some opportunity.

Obviously, it is impossible for a mere Sequence 7 to make a Sequence 3 demigod wait patiently... In other words, she was not completely lying. At least the ambush of Geglan was very likely true. After all, it is the most difficult to distinguish between truth and lies.

If Gegelan is really as anxious to get promoted and save her life as she said, then even if I inform Gegelan of similar news in some way, she is still likely to take risks...

Adele's brain was working rapidly. To survive in the East, strength was not the most important thing, but the ability to read the situation was the key.

No, what if the message Katarina wanted me to convey to Gagran was not "She, the Sequence Three, is here", but "She is the only Sequence Three here"? In that case, wouldn't it be a sure win for Gagran?
Adele used a little force to cut the roast on the plate into two pieces.

Could it be that Katarina pretended to be indifferent to my previous experience just to lure out Gaglan, and her own preparations were not limited to these; once I was frightened by the plan of Sequence Three and informed Gaglan of the news, she could take action and capture both Gaglan and me in one fell swoop?
Adele thought about it for a while and felt that this possibility was very high, but she still didn't understand one thing, that is, once Gagran appeared, how could Catalina be sure that Gagran was the one she called.

She said that high-sequence extraordinary people of the Witch Path have some kind of induction to the materials of their own potions, but she also mentioned that Geglan is an extraordinary person of the changing path, so Geglan should not be able to sense the materials of the Witch Path... Could it be that Geglan has the means to simulate a similar attraction?
As she thought about it, Adele couldn't help but stiffen for a moment, but she quickly reacted and returned to normal.

Although she didn't know whether Gagran had a similar means of confirmation, Adele had indeed seen a similar method, which was Emperor Roselle's "blasphemous card"!
That magical tarot card can simulate the attraction between high-sequences. If Gaglan wants to confirm it carefully, she will most likely ask for the card; and once she confirms that the Fountain of Youth does exist, she will not be able to refuse.

What Catalina said before was just a superficial test, to make me think that she was not good at similar things and make me look down on her; then she would put appropriate pressure on me and create an outlet for me to vent, hoping that I would take the initiative to contact Gegelan under pressure, thus luring the snake out of its hole!
Adele couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat as she thought about how she had just walked on the brink of death without realizing it.

High-Sequence Experts are indeed not simple... Her role as the "instigator" was also very successful, almost making me forget that she was a demigod-level expert, and made me lose my vigilance against her "instigation".

Adele was secretly shocked. She didn't expect that the Witch Cult not only began to doubt her relationship with Gagran, but also suspected that she had obtained the "blasphemous card"!
It seems that using that card to exchange for the formula was indeed correct... It was just that the "White Saint" noticed it in the few minutes it was opened on the "Black Death" and even made a special test for it. If I hadn't realized the characteristics of the cards and separated from Tracy a few days later, I'm afraid that Katarina might have blocked me and the cards directly at sea?
Adele took a deep breath to prevent her uneasiness from showing on her face.

Perhaps because they were discussing serious matters, what should have been a joyful dinner time became torture in Adele's eyes. In order not to arouse suspicion, she could only swallow mechanically while recalling her previous events, trying to find a reasonable explanation for her somewhat incoherent memory due to the use of the spell.

Originally, this should have taken about a day to complete after using the spell, but I didn't expect that the distance "away from the fleet" that Tracy mentioned would be so far...

If Adele still prepared as scheduled, she might not even have time to use the spell to erase her memory, and would run into Katarina and Tracy directly.

Fortunately, nothing else happened during lunch time. Although the other witches brought by Gagran were shocked, after all, Catalina said that it had nothing to do with the witches who were originally female, so they were not as nervous as Adele.

……

"Sonia's Fortune Telling House" at 27 Dangerous Rock Street, Indor Harbor.

Cecilia pulled her hood and scarf together to hide her facial features as much as possible and looked through the open door.

A young lady came out from inside, wearing a lavender wizard robe and a pointed hat of the same color. Her hair was ginger and slightly curly, and her eyes and eyebrows were slightly melancholy. Perhaps she was having a drink, as she was holding a dirty bottle of gin in her hand.

"Are you Sonya Moran, the 'astrologer'?"

Cecilia said straight to the point.

Demons are good at scheming, but that doesn't mean they always beat around the bush. In this case, directly revealing the other party's identity can often have a greater impact on her.

“…Although I don’t know whether you heard this from those gangsters or from my former clients, it’s basically correct.”

Sonya frowned and nodded slightly: "If there is no other person named 'Sonya Moran' on this street, then I should be the one you are looking for."

"But you seem to have not done divination for a long time."

Cecilia asked casually as she looked at the brass telescope on a stand under the skylight, which was covered with a thick layer of dust.

"Of course, especially the kind of divination that requires looking at the stars."

Sonya's expression became strange. "The stars are behaving strangely... During my last divination, the stars, which were still normal at the time, told me not to try divination with the stars until my spiritual intuition says 'ok'."

"From what I can tell, five astrologers I've known have completely lost control since then."

Sonya shrugged. "So, if that's what you came here for today, you can leave now."
