Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 356 Taking advantage of the situation
After sending Annie back to her room, Venata found Audrey again.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening in Feysac time. The number of people who took to the streets to protest in the past two days had not increased as much as before. Now the streets were completely silent, and there were not even a few carriages soliciting passengers.

When Vinata came to Audrey's room, Audrey was standing in front of the window, looking at the empty street, wondering what she was thinking. The lights of the port were reflected on the window glass in front of her.

"You came."

Audrey turned around and smiled warmly, "Have you completed the investigation of the Beyonders among the passengers arriving at the port today?"

"Well, among the passengers entering the port today, there are two who are confirmed to be Beyonders and have already reported to us, five who are suspected to be Beyonders, and one who was shot dead on the spot for murder. I did it myself and did not cause a commotion."

Vinata reported everything in detail, and added a sentence at the end.

"…Although I've already asked you once, are you sure you can just live here?"

In fact, the house looked totally out of place for Audrey.

Regardless of Audrey's ability, just looking at her appearance, she is definitely worthy of the description of being as gentle as jade, and it even makes people reluctant to let her suffer.

But now, the room she chose was one near the boiler area in the headquarters building. There were exposed iron pipes on the wall, spewing high-temperature steam or condensed gas.

The facilities inside the house are also surprisingly simple, with cement floors, walls full of curved copper and iron pipes, and only a few furnishings:
There was a black iron bed, a white porcelain washbasin, and a workbench facing the floor-to-ceiling window filled with notes and sticky notes. In the corner was a clothes hanger with two identical blue cloaks hanging on it, and next to it was a dressing mirror.

There was a copper bell and a bell rope in the leeward corner. Miss Audrey's three meals a day were delivered by pulling the bell, and the copper bell in her room was directly connected to Vinata's room. Once the copper bell rang, it meant that the situation had become serious and Audrey had to go out immediately to solve the problem.

There are thousands of colorful sticky notes stuck on the wall, making people feel as if they have accidentally entered a garden. The colorful sticky notes tremble slightly under the gas leaking from the pipes, like butterflies spreading their wings.

Vinata heard from Adele, who had once disguised herself as a valet to infiltrate the aristocratic circle, about the lives of the aristocrats. Most of them were extremely extravagant and particular about ostentation. They couldn't even wear the same clothes for two consecutive days, otherwise they would be ridiculed.

This young lady, once an aristocrat among aristocrats, the youngest daughter of Count Hall, was known as Backlund's most shining gem. In Backlund's mansion, she had several cupboards just for evening gowns.

What's more, she is not only a noble, but also a big figure in the mysterious world, a member of the Council before God, and a genuine demigod. When she first learned that she was going to receive this big figure, Vinata was quite nervous, fearing that she had done something wrong.

As a result, after taking a tour around the Queen Island Shipping Company building, the lady fell in love with the room at first sight and moved in directly without any complaints.

She has been living here, thinking about the notes filled with information stuck between the pipes on the wall. She is the brain of the entire Queen Island Shipping Company and even the entire Tarot Club. The pipes and bell ropes on the wall form a nervous system, combining into a life.

The only thing out of place in the cottage was a gorgeous doghouse, hand-made of wooden boards, with a polished brass door panel and thick velvet cushions. The big dog, called Susie, was lying inside and wagged her tail at Vinata when she came in.

"It's okay." Audrey shook her head and smiled peacefully. "I've told you before, I hid here to eliminate my presence as much as possible and not interfere with reality. Besides, I'm not that uncomfortable with ordinary people's lives now."

The life of the nobility is not as good as imagined. There are many nobility, but there are even more people who want to be nobility, and even more people who don't want others to be nobility. Those seemingly extravagant customs are actually bloody lessons behind them.

You can't eat the same dish repeatedly to prevent being poisoned, you can't wear the same clothes for many times to prevent being assassinated, you have to change your residence frequently to prevent rebellion, and you have to hunt regularly to ensure your physical condition...

It may seem incomprehensible to ordinary people, but among ordinary people, there are few who have to run the risk of being assassinated since birth.

Audrey collected her thoughts and focused on the matter at hand.

Based on the information in her mind, she quickly recalled the number of Beyonders currently under surveillance. The note on the wall was just a necessity for the role, and all the important information was in her mind.

"Are you already short-staffed?"

Audrey looked at Vinata with a questioning look, and she nodded in affirmation.

The Church of the God of War retreated decisively and without any delay. They threw away whatever sealed objects they could and took away all the high-level sealed objects above level 2. The remaining sealed objects would not cause much damage, but a large number of level 3 sealed objects with strange effects, difficult to seal, and easy to cause commotion were left in the basement of the church.

It is euphemistically called occult assistance, but in reality it is intended to further exploit the human resources of the port occupiers. Once their Beyonders are completely occupied, a thundering blow may very well be waiting for them.

"First, confirm one by one whether those who are willing to cooperate are willing to guard the door of the underground sealed room for a short period of time."

Audrey quickly made arrangements. "This position can be used by Beyonders and ordinary police officers to work together, and the proportion of Beyonders can be appropriately reduced."

"Okay, I'll discuss the specific details with Annie before making a decision."

Vinata nodded. Audrey had been intentionally giving her the opportunity to make these decisions during this period of time, which was very helpful for her to digest the "Conspirator" potion.

Vinata was very confused by this, because in her opinion, she had only done something very simple, or even just the embodiment and some supplement of Audrey's thoughts.

Audrey's answer was that she was already in the center of a huge conspiracy, so no matter what she did, she was participating in the conspiracy. By the time everything came to light, her potion would probably have been digested.

"Hold on for a while, new reinforcements will soon join us."

Audrey didn't explain much, but just comforted Vinata vaguely, telling her to go back and rest as soon as possible because she still had to work tomorrow.

After sending Vinata away, Audrey took out the spiritual materials and quickly set up the ritual to summon the messenger.

"I summon in my name, the invisible creatures roaming in the upper world, the strange spirits that are friendly to humans, the messenger that belongs exclusively to Bernadette Gustave..."

The summoning method for this messenger was provided by Ms. Hermit, leading to her mother, the Mysterious Queen Bernadette, who is now a Sequence 2 Sage.

The invisible messenger soon appeared. Audrey glanced in the direction where it appeared. Her pupils suddenly turned into upright spindles, and her eyes looked like a real dragon.

A dream was loaded directly into the messenger's mind, and Bernadette could directly read the information she had stored in the dream when she retrieved the messenger.

In the dream, Audrey asked Bernadette Gustave to help her contact "King of the Five Seas" Nast Solomon and expressed her willingness to cooperate with him. She believed that with the suppression of the "King of the Five Seas", the most experienced of the four kings, and the "Mysterious Queen", the problem of Indo Port should be solved.

Although the Tarot Club's scriptures recorded the six angels beside Mr. Fool, Audrey did not think she could call on them.

Firstly, Audrey had no idea how to contact angels such as the "Angel of Death" and the "Angel of Redemption" which were vaguely described in the scriptures; secondly, although the "Mercury Angel" had a certain intersection with Tarot, there was also a "Mercury Snake" Ourolius on the opposite side. Before the opponent's death, her own trump card could not be moved first.

The "Angel of Life" is suspected to be Mr. Sparrow's messenger, and the Angel of Punishment is most likely Mr. "The World" himself. One of them is busy fighting the Rose School, and the other is still sleeping and cannot help.

As for the "Angel of Time"... Audrey naturally skipped this one and couldn't count on it.

Now it's time to compare cards with each other to see who will be the first to give up and show his true colors. No matter what, we must stabilize the situation first...

Audrey's eyes gradually became deep. After all, Nast Solomon was a descendant of the hereditary nobility who had been canonized by Emperor Roselle. From the Pirate Convention he formulated, it can be seen that he is a guy who likes order. At least, among the forces that have no clear background at present, he is the one with the least firm stance. Using him to check and balance the "Undead King" is just right.

——The worst result would be that Port Indor would become a pirate paradise like Bayam. As long as Backlund's two tragedies were not repeated, all this would be worth it.

Audrey sat down gently on the chair and looked at the room that was covered with all kinds of sticky notes. Countless notes filled with information formed a huge cocoon that wrapped her in the middle.

Even though she knew that as a demigod she did not need these emotions, she still sat in this suffocating room, writing and drawing. Until late at night, all the notes suddenly combusted out of thin air and turned into flying ashes. She changed her clothes and lay on the iron bed and fell into a deep sleep.

……

Adele opened her eyes and found herself in the burning city again. The only difference was that the sky was darker this time. If the previous color was flowing blood, now it was solidified blood clots.

It seems that this is all a dream, Adele told herself.

I didn't go to the island with Tracy, nor did I meet Gagran. Now I am still worried about finding the lion-headed snake-bodied beast, and I fell asleep unknowingly.

Adele, feeling a little melancholy, was about to stand up and continue exploring when a familiar female voice suddenly came from beside her.

"You finally came in. I have been waiting for you here for a long time."

Adele was startled and looked in the direction of the voice, and found Geglan standing next to her.

She was no longer wearing the white silk robe she had worn when she first appeared, but a colorful silk cheongsam. The lip gloss on her lips looked like flames, mixed with fine gold powder. It was said that this was a dress invented by Emperor Roselle and was only sold in some former Intis colonies in the southern continent.

Her long hair is pure black, and her fair skin after becoming an angel seems to sparkle with crystal light, and her whole body exudes a strong feminine charm.

She was wearing a pair of pointed and thin white high-heeled shoes. Her long legs as white as mutton fat were faintly visible as she walked, and her unique fragrance aroused Adele's nerves.

"… Turns out this wasn't a dream." Adele muttered to herself, and stretched out her hand and clenched her fist to confirm that it was moving normally.

The memories before falling asleep also appeared clearly in Adele's mind. She remembered that she, Tracy, and Gagran arrived at the Port of Berens through the spirit world. She first found a place to get Gagran a new set of clothes to replace the robe made of witch's silk thread when she came out of the underground, and then found a hotel to stay in and rest, and waited until the next day to go to the port to secretly meet with the "Snow Wind".

At this moment, Adele felt her hand being held, and then led by Gegelan to her chest. Her heart was pounding under the soft touch. The dreamy and unreal feeling was suddenly shattered by the throbbing of life, and Adele regained her sanity.

"Of course this is a dream, but I am real, and you are real too."

Geglan's voice was filled with constant laziness, making people who heard it feel as if they were bathed in the afternoon sun, warm and itchy in their hearts, and almost addicted to it.

"Come with me now, let's go and see what the deepest part of this city looks like."

Gagran extended his hand to Adele. "Where is the farthest you have ever been?"

"Under the beech tree." Adele answered truthfully, pointing at the towering beech tree. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but there seemed to be fewer corpses on it, and they didn't turn to follow Adele's gaze.

"Okay, then let's go and take a look under that beech tree." Geglan nodded, took Adele's hand and walked into the depths of the city.

Today is the second update, please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket~
Although this book has almost one million words now, the role of monthly tickets and recommendation tickets is not that big, but looking at this data is still a bit embarrassing. I also hope that everyone will not stop subscribing during the period when I update frequently. Continuous updates may affect the average subscription. It was almost a hundred chapters ago that this book reached 500 subscriptions per chapter. It would be embarrassing if the average subscription dropped below 500 due to a continuous update.
