Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 376 Powder
Nine o'clock in the evening, in a warehouse at the dock.

Santana, wearing a black windbreaker, was standing on a high shelf, directing his men to push carts piled with boxes into the warehouse.

The boxes contain a wide variety of plants, including kapisa, datura, wormwood, kava root, salvia divinorum, and of course a variety of mushrooms.

This is Santana's territory. His actual identity is far more than just a wealthy businessman. He has a very deep connection with Intis behind the scenes. With the help of Intis's intelligence department, he gradually monopolized the trade of ayahuasca.

Every time a new batch of goods arrived at the port, he would bring his men here to take charge of the handover. Now, he stood on the high scaffolding, looking down at the people below the stage moving the goods quickly.

Some time ago, an extraordinary incident occurred at a stall selling ayahuasca, and the ayahuasca trade was suppressed by official extraordinary people, which made Santana very embarrassed.

Therefore, he was surrounded by bodyguards, guarding every place around him. Among them were Intis's intelligence personnel and senior adventurers hired by Santana at a huge cost.

These people stood sideways or with their backs to Santana, surrounding him, with their revolvers, rifles and shotguns all exposed, shocking the entire audience.

At the same time, Adele had secretly climbed to the top of the warehouse and was peering into the warehouse through the vents.

Directly below her, Santana was no more than ten meters away from her in a straight line, with a typical Southern Continent face that was somewhat unrecognizable.

There are at least three Beyonders around him. If he acts rashly, he will definitely be attacked by them. And it is not ruled out that he also has the means to deal with unexpected situations...

Adele assessed the situation in front of her and realized that if she charged in from the front, it would most likely alert the enemy and she might not be able to defeat this group of people together.

Since this was a spur-of-the-moment decision, Adele did not go back for reinforcements. The drunkard who brought her here had already been knocked unconscious by her and stuffed into a roadside trash can - there was no other intention, it was simply because throwing him directly on the street might freeze him to death, while throwing him into the garbage dump would at least allow the household garbage to rot and generate heat.

After weighing the pros and cons, Adele gently lowered the veil of night on her face. Ever since she brought this magical item from the Navy Headquarters, she has not had many opportunities to use its active ability in battle. Because the negative effect of this item will cause a person to fall into a deep sleep that is difficult to wake up after twenty minutes, Adele has always used it with caution and dared not use it as a last resort.

And now, Adele did not intend to use the active ability of the veil, but used the concealment effect of the veil to gradually reduce her presence, and then used the witch's invisibility to make her figure completely disappear.

After doing all this, she hesitated for a while, and finally took out a small bottle from her pocket.

The bottle contained a pile of light grey powder, which looked inconspicuous. However, Adele moved very carefully, as if she was holding a high-yield bomb.

After a brief struggle, Adele made up her mind, picked up the bottle of powder, and poured it into the warehouse through the ventilation pipe. Then she blocked the vent completely with ice and whispered in Hermes:

"Frozen!"

Silently, several magic wands containing frost power that Adele had placed at the door in advance took effect, freezing the two doors solid.

At the same time, the gas lamps in the warehouse flashed, emitting dazzling sparks, and then went out one by one. The sound of breaking glass was heard, and the light in the entire warehouse suddenly dimmed.

"What happened?"

Although the bodyguards were well-trained, they couldn't help but panic when the lights went out.

"Don't panic, those with night vision should gather around the boss!"

A man who looked like a leader shouted immediately, and having noticed the commotion, he immediately assumed the responsibility of a leader and yelled at his subordinates. Immediately three people stood out from the crowd and jumped to Santana's side. Their movements were so agile and flexible that it was impossible to tell which way they had come.

As far as I know, the ones with night vision ability below the middle sequence may be "Sailor", "Assassin", "Singer", "Sleepless", "Death", "Hunter"...

Adele muttered to herself, realizing that it was impossible to determine the other party's sequence with such rough information.

"Esdeath, Cassian, you two go check the gas light!"

Another order was given, and two people came out. One of them pushed his hands outward, releasing a sun halo that flashed with golden light, which calmed the bodyguard group that had been in some chaos.

The other man took out a brass lighter-like mechanical device and clicked it twice. Several warm and bright light balls flew out of it and stopped in the air above the factory, illuminating the entire room as bright as day.

Sequence 7 "Sun Priest" of the Chanter Path and Sequence 6 "Mechanical Expert" of the Generalist Path... How could an ordinary Santana afford a bodyguard of this level? Even if it was assigned by Intis, the standard was too high.

Adele felt a wave of fear in her heart, but fortunately she did not rush into the battle array rashly. Otherwise, no matter the various magical items of the mechanical expert or the purification ability of the sun priest, they would have had a very serious restraint on the witch and would almost destroy half of her means.

What's more, the leading character who had been giving orders had not made a move until now, making it almost impossible to distinguish his specific strength and sequence. However, Adele instinctively felt that this guy's level was definitely not lower than that of the Sequence 6 "Mechanical Expert"!
If it were someone else, when faced with a Sequence Six, a Sequence Seven, three mid-to-low-sequence Extraordinaries, and a group of Extraordinaries whose lowest was Sequence Six, their first reaction would probably be how to escape.

However, Adele knew clearly that it was far from the time for her to run for her life. After all, the powder she had just thrown out was something that even demigods would fear...

Adele snapped her fingers lightly, and the tiny blood beads that were originally suspended in the air and frozen by the low temperature began to melt, forming a thin, almost invisible blood mist that enveloped everyone in the warehouse.

This blood was drawn from the drunkard by Adele, kept frozen all the way, and secretly sent into the air in the warehouse when the lights went out.

The blood mist actually has no lethal power. What is truly lethal is the powder of the mushrooms awakened by the blood.

——Yes, those are the powders made from Frank's mushrooms, which still retain their vitality. And now, these powders are alive again!
