Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 272: The Exploration of the Pleasure Witch

"Besides these, is there anything else I should pay attention to?"

After thanking them, Adele continued to ask questions to everyone.

This scene always feels familiar...

Derrick the Sun recalled the advice that Mr. The Hanged Man gave him when he and the Chief went out to explore the ruins.

"Don't look at what you shouldn't look at, don't listen to what you shouldn't listen to, don't eat what you shouldn't eat, and don't investigate what you shouldn't investigate."

He directly said the original words of the Hanged Man.

Audrey noticed that there was something awkward about Adele's polite smile.

Alas, Mr. Sun had the Chief by his side when he was exploring, but now Adele has to make her own judgment, so the advice that was useful at the time is just useless nonsense to Adele...

Audrey sighed and said to Adele, "First find a place to be promoted, then use that promoted position as a base point to explore inward little by little, and return to the contact point regularly to contact Katarina."

"From now on, contact me and Justice through the gray fog every six hours to have a private conversation and briefly introduce your situation and status."

Alger added, "I can now exert some influence on you through this mysterious space, including but not limited to throwing a lightning storm directly at your location. However, my ability is limited to making the lightning deviate from your location by a little bit, so it is still possible that it will affect you. You should choose the right time to pray to me."

"I understand. Then I will return to reality and prepare to receive the promotion potion."

Adele nodded, "Thank you for your help."

……

After this impromptu gathering, Adele returned to reality. After confirming that there was no unusual movement around her, she quickly rearranged the ceremony of requesting the blessing.

After receiving the silk glands of an adult giant widow spider, 5 grams of mummy ashes, a small bottle of black mandrake juice, the remaining hair of the enchantress, and the powder of Fenypot flies, Adele took out the eyes of the enchantress that she had snatched from the Esco family's territory from her shirt pocket.

Looking at the pile of potion materials that were terrible in every sense, Adele had a complicated expression.

This is the most disgusting potion ingredient I know, no doubt about it... Adele tried hard not to move her eyes to the bottle of Feynapotent fly, which was not very crushed and whose remaining parts could be vaguely seen.

I'm afraid only frogs would like to eat it... Adele sighed heavily, found a pot in the room, and after confirming through divination that there was no problem with the water source here, she began to brew a Sequence 6 potion.

Unlike the careful calculations she had made in the past, Adele moved quickly this time. After all, the main ingredients were a pair of eyes and a gland, unlike the previous potions that used blood as the material, which required careful control of the volume.

Throwing the main ingredients into the pot, Adele soon saw that the potion in the pot had undergone drastic changes.

Originally, the base ingredients of the Witch of Pleasure looked pretty bad, fly powder, mummy ashes, and large clumps of banshee hair entangled like snakes. These things were soaked in 100ml of pure water. Adele even suspected that she heard the sound of the fly's remains expanding.

But when Adele added the main ingredients into the pot, the messy stuff in the pot quickly melted, emitting clouds of mist that refracted colorful light. A strange fragrance rushed straight into Adele's nostrils, giving her a strong and ridiculous urge to drink up the potion in front of her in one gulp.

Adele did not resist the urge. She then picked up the liner with peeling paint, which was originally sealed in an iron shell that Adele did not know what it was used for. She put the container to her mouth and drank the pure black potion in one gulp.

Completely different from the bad raw materials, the taste of "The Witch of Pleasure" completely exceeded Adele's imagination: not only did it not have any disgusting taste, but on the contrary it had an intoxicating sweetness, as if what she had just drunk was not something from a banshee, spider, fly or mummy, but the finest Feynapotter rose nectar.

Adele felt her whole body relax. The smooth honey seemed to pass through her whole body slowly like the roots of a plant instead of her esophagus. The tiny wounds on her body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. If you look closely, there seemed to be soft white threads hooking across both sides of the wounds, stitching those places together.

The pleasure struck her brain like lightning, leaving her mind blank, filled with images of her time with Vinata. The experiences of being a man and a woman multiplied each other, magnified countless times, accelerating her blood flow and making her breathing heavier.

She heard an inexplicable whisper similar to the sound of her and Venata's happy breathing. Although the sound was pleasant, it was creepy.

That was the mysterious voice that had appeared in her mind when she was promoted to a witch, but was dispelled by Mr. Fool. Adele knew that it was the evil god at the end of her path, the "Original Witch"!
"He is risen. He is awake. They are coming..."

"He is risen. He is awake. They are coming..."

"He is risen. He is awake. They are coming..."

The moment she heard the strange sound, Adele felt as if the blood vessels in her temple suddenly burst - this was not a metaphor, because blood really flowed down her cheeks.

Thin white threads flowed out of her wound, quickly stitching it up. However, every time the sound rang out, the white threads would break, revealing the sticky flesh and blood inside.

Adele fell off her chair and rolled back and forth in pain on the ground, her coat covered with dust and moss.

At this moment, she could feel a soothing force acting on her body through the gray mist, and Miss Audrey's voice sounded in her mind.

The dragon with pearly white scales landed gracefully on the island of her consciousness, creating a huge wave of pure mental blocking, isolating the island from the astral world and also cutting off the deadly whispers.

It took Adele a long time to recover from the chaos. There was still blood on her face. She wiped it off hastily and praised Mr. Fool sincerely in her heart.

Although she looked very disheveled and her spirit was in a disordered state due to her recent promotion, the sense of strength coming from her body still made her happily realize that she had successfully completed the promotion and became a Sequence 6 "Witch of Pleasure".

Compared to the "Witch" of Sequence 7, the Witch of Pleasure has a new ability: making silk threads.

Different from the witch's previous ability to control hair growth, Adele can now create real or illusory white threads at any position around her body to bind her opponents. The former can bind spirits, causing a slight disconnect between the opponent's mind and body, and is also effective against ghosts and resentful spirits; the latter can act directly on the opponent and hinder his actions.

The farther the silk threads are from the body, the slower they are produced. After reaching 20 meters, the silk threads can no longer be produced at any location at will, but can only be produced from the body of the Extraordinary and spread over.

In addition, she felt that her figure had become more graceful and the few flaws that had existed before had disappeared. Even without a mirror, she could see how her current appearance could make her attractive to both the opposite sex and the same sex.

At the same time, the secondary correction of posture also includes a further understanding of the human body structure, allowing her to further understand how the other person will feel when touched in certain positions, and to look for the other person's physiological weaknesses, which is somewhat similar to the "reaper" looking for weaknesses in the mystical sense, but also obviously different.

Her abilities during her "witch" period have also been comprehensively upgraded, with the weight of ice she can create increasing by nearly four times.

The ability to control and prepare black magic has been greatly improved. Now, even in battle, you can flexibly use various types of black magic to assist in combat, making the fighting method more bizarre and more difficult to defend against.

After completing the promotion, Adele did not continue exploring, but walked around the perimeter of the room, repeatedly confirming that this area, which looked like a residential area, was indeed free of other dangers.

However, there seemed to be some mysterious attraction deep in this area, which made Adele always involuntarily want to leave the residential area and go deeper.

Looking towards the center of the island, one can see a huge four-story building surrounded by those buildings. It is nearly three times larger than the Esco family headquarters of Adele and Venata.

Unlike the surrounding buildings that have become decayed over time, this building still eerily looks brand new, with white-painted walls and blue glass, like a huge hotel.

The foundation of the hotel surged upward, lifting up the entire hotel and the beach in the middle of the hotel, forming an area that was dozens of meters higher than the surrounding area.

This might be the attraction from the depths of the Beyonder that Catalina mentioned... In other words, the Fountain of Youth is very likely to be deep within that hotel?
Adele made her own judgment based on her own reason, but she had no intention of exploring in person. In the dilapidated residential area, Adele found a bathtub with accumulated water, and after confirming that there was no problem, she simply took care of her personal hygiene.

If she acted too embarrassed, she would probably fail to get past Catalina. Once the other party became suspicious of her appearance and questioned her, Adele was skeptical about whether this wall could block the other party's ability to see through the lies, and she didn't want to and didn't dare to verify it.

"First, collect some texts from the periphery and give them to Wendy. Let her see if she can understand the ancient language here."

Adele made a decision quickly. She found a fountain pen in the drawer. Although the capillary used to absorb ink had rotted, Adele still took the pen and carefully polished the tip to remove the dirt. Then she dipped the pen in ink and copied down all the recognizable symbols that she saw that looked like text. She soon filled three full sheets of paper.

Unlike the paper in the closet, many of the things that recorded the text had been damaged. Even if Adele wanted to collect them, they could not withstand long-distance transportation. Otherwise, it would be easier to just give the books to Wendy. In fact, even the well-preserved paper was now fragile and seemed to be damaged at any time.

During this time, Adele also found a lot of locked doors. Adele tried knocking, but there was no response, which made Adele breathe a sigh of relief. Some of the doors could be pried open directly with the hidden blade, but some were tightly closed.

In front of those tightly closed doors there was unusually fertile dark soil, with lush plants growing on it, many of which Adele had never even seen before. It seemed that the soil there had become exceptionally fertile for some reason.

Adele didn't want to know why, so she left the area immediately, leaving only the plants with blood-red leaves swaying slightly in the calm air.

I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that this area seems particularly dangerous...

Adele wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and quickly returned to the house where she had been promoted. Looking at the familiar walls, her mood calmed down a little.

It was also quiet, but it was different from the woods in the Kingdom of Twilight. Adele always felt like someone was blowing a cool breeze at her back, which made her feel quite uncomfortable.

Speaking of horror and oppression, this lush tropical island is obviously much friendlier than the Kingdom of Twilight, which has no plants except the ash trees soaked in the light of dusk. However, in fact, the fear that this island brought to Adele was no less than the state when she was chased by the "River of Everlasting Darkness" in the memory of the fallen god of war in the Kingdom of Twilight.

During her exploration just now, she roughly confirmed that in the residential area where she was located, about half of the homestays could be opened, and the things inside showed obvious signs of being soaked in water.

However, there was no information about the owners of these rooms, not even a bone, and the rooms were extremely clean.

Adele fiddled with the hidden blade in her hand nervously and continued to look for clues. Although she had no idea what she was looking for as she did not understand the ancient language left here, she was afraid that if she did not continue to do something, she would go completely crazy because of the suspicion and fear that kept growing over time.

I shouldn't be so impatient...what's wrong with me?
Adele looked at everything in front of her in confusion. The various items she had collected had piled up into a small mountain. She had just tried to pick out some things that might serve as clues.

Was it the influence of the island? Adele thought, there seemed to be a disaster here, and the extra fertile soil might be the remains of the victims. But for the assassin, these remains were not enough to scare her. This feeling was more like a violation than fear, as if something had been overlooked by her.

What have I overlooked... Adele thought carefully, her eyes moving back and forth along with the door creaking in the wind.
