Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 260 Cat and Membrane Wings
“I don’t like to force people to do things.”

Cecilia shrugged. "Besides, I don't need anyone to predict the future for me."

"So, you are here to join the Divination Club?" Sonya's expression was a little stiff, but she still pretended to be relaxed and said, "The annual membership fee here is 10 Horns, and 2 Horns per year thereafter. You don't need a formal member recommendation, you can join as long as you pass my review..."

"Although I'm not here to join your divination club, I still have to say that the prices in your club are much cheaper than similar clubs in Loen."

Cecilia replied, taking down a crystal ball from the shelf and examining it with some curiosity.

"...Of course, they have free spacious meeting rooms, divination rooms, divination tools, hot coffee and tea, the latest newspapers and magazines every day, cheap drinks and two meals, while my divination club has nothing but worn-out teacups, dusty crystal balls, and more than twenty cats."

“…You have more than twenty cats here?”

"Yes, there are Ragdoll cats, Loen shorthair cats, Balam cats, Sonia Fold ear cats, and Intis shorttail cats. They are all in the back room and basement, which is also the activity area for members. If I put them here, they might smash my crystal ball."

Sonya nodded, then as if she remembered something, she turned to Cecilia and asked, "I heard you say just now that you're not here to join the club...?"

"Oh, I changed my mind." Cecilia lifted her hair to the side of her ear and said in a reserved manner, "I think I am still a little interested in divination."

……

"Ms. Sevens, my companion and I saw Miss Sophie near Dangerous Rock Street. She entered a shop called 'Sonia's Fortune Telling House'."

On the streets of Indo Port, the gang member who was stopped by Vinata reported to her.

"What is she doing there?"

Vinata blurted out, but she knew very well that the gangster in front of her would not be able to give her an answer.

Thinking about the last time she visited Sonya, but she was predicted to hide away in advance, Vinata's brows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character.

"Go find a few more people... No, I'll go by myself."

Venata ordered her men, but then she changed her mind. "Tell Anna to go directly to Dangerous Rock Street and take all the magical items that her captain gave her."

Knowing that Sophie was facing a Sequence 7 Beyonder whose attitude towards the gangs was unclear, Vinata's heart suddenly rose in tension. She didn't bother to hide it and ran as fast as she could, even overtaking a two-wheeled carriage on the road, attracting everyone's attention.

……

Cecilia and Sophie, who knew nothing about this, were sitting in the basement of the divination house. In the early spring weather, this was one of the few places in Sonya's divination house that could maintain a habitable temperature.

Sonya sat opposite Cecilia, and the two were surrounded by more than twenty cats of different fur colors. There was a black cat lying on Sonya's knees, and the cat on Cecilia's knees was orange.

"...The previous members of the club were just like you, lacking interest in astrology and herbology. To be honest, I thought it was because I didn't teach well, and I was lost for a while."

Sonya stroked the black cat's sleek fur and sighed. Her technique was so skillful that the black cat in her hand purred comfortably.

"Compared to the stars that are so far away from us, the cat on my lap is more attractive."

Cecilia turned the orange cat over on her lap and gently rubbed its belly.

"As an astrologer, I should be disappointed to hear this, but you are right."

A white cat jumped onto Sonya's shoulder and, bearing its weight on its belly, hung there limply like a noodle.

"But what were you going to do this time?"

Sonya took a sip of the mint tea on the side. "You don't look like you came here just to play with the cats, do you? Although I welcome you to play with the cats again in the future."

"Okay, let's get down to business." Cecilia struggled to break free from the sea of ​​cats. "I want to come to you to purchase some extraordinary materials."

"Then you should go to the Esco family's trading market. They don't allow Beyonders to trade Beyonder materials privately. Although it won't cause much trouble to the Mid-Sequence Beyonders, it's still trouble after all."

Just as Cecilia expected, Sonya did not agree directly at first. It was obvious that she did not want to cause trouble for herself and just wanted to live a good life here.

After all, a guy who wants to cause trouble at any time doesn't have the time or energy to take care of more than 20 cats...

However, Cecilia knew exactly what she needed and which was kept in Sonya's hands. No matter how Sonya denied it, she couldn't resist as all the cards in her hand were exposed to her.

"But if you put that thing in your hands, it will bring you even greater trouble."

Cecilia looked at Sonya with a half-smile, watching her face gradually turn pale.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Sonya pretended to be calm and denied it.

"The powder of the membrane wings and horns of the entire red devil - you must know these two things."

Cecilia looked directly into Sonya's eyes, and the evil intent emanating from her bright red eyes forced the other party to look away.

"There's no use in denying it."

Before the other party could speak, Cecilia stepped forward and said, "The Esco family may not be aware that you have these things, but you don't think that the people of the Church of the God of War will not be aware of it, right?"

"After the Backlund incident, do you need me to repeat to you the attitudes of the major churches towards items and holders related to the 'devil' path?"

Sensing Sonya's wavering, Cecilia threw the last straw.

"Do you want to escape the pursuit of the Gunners of the Church of the God of War with more than 20 cats? Then I can only wish you good luck."

"..."

Sonya was completely silent. After a long while, she slowly nodded.

"……alright, you win."

She stood up, carefully took the white cat off her shoulders, then took the long stick from the corner and knocked on the top of the closet.

The cabinet door that was knocked bounced open with a "bang", and a long package wrapped in oil paper and a glass bottle filled with black powder flew out from inside.

The long package fell to the ground, raising a layer of fine dust; the glass bottle hit a fluffy orange cat, then bounced off the other cats a few times before landing steadily in Sonya's hands.

"I don't know how you found out... But, this is the powder of the membrane wings and horns of the red devil you wanted. Even if you have 10,000 Horns, take these things away quickly."
