Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 99 Communication
Do different kinds of embarrassment cancel each other out?
Altaïr had never thought about such a question before. However, today he seemed to have the opportunity to verify it.

When he introduced Venata to Lorota and Britton, the former was only surprised for a moment, and then congratulated Altaïr normally. But the latter seemed very indignant, and Altaïr felt that at least at one moment just now, this guy must have seriously considered whether to capture Venata under the pretext that she was a wild Beyonder and take her to the basement of the church.

Fortunately, Mr. Statham and his family were still here, so Britton, as the night watchman, naturally would not bring up the relevant matters. Moreover, on such occasions, the male guests and the female guests naturally separated. Lorota, Marisol and Vinata went to Vinata's room to chat, while Mr. Statham and Britton stayed in the living room smoking. After Sophie brought back her stepmother's beaded bag, she and Altaïr were busy in the kitchen.

"Aren't you going to play with Venata?" Altaïr handed Sophie a basin of potatoes and asked her to wash them. "I can handle this myself."

"I want to learn how to cook from you."

Sophie took the basin and smiled. "After all, Mr. Altaïr is very good at cooking. Besides... I'm still a little uncomfortable with being with Aunt Mary."

"what happened?"

Altaïr wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. "Is there anything you don't like about her?"

"It's not that I don't like her. Aunt Mary is always nice to me in the workshop... It's just that I'm a little uncomfortable to suddenly call her mom."

Sophie forced a smile, but quickly returned to her cheerful self.

"It's okay, you still have a lot of time to adapt."

Altaïr wiped his hands on his apron and ruffled Sophie's hair.

"By the way, I heard that Mr. Buffett arranged a physical examination for you two days ago?"

Altaïr asked casually.

"Yeah, so much blood was drawn!" Sophie gestured with her hands, still a little scared. "But except for people with serious health problems, everyone else has to pay two solis to see the results. I thought it was no big deal, so I didn't see it."

The current blood testing technology in Rune was still extremely primitive, and the flocculants used to detect blood diseases were quite ineffective. The amount of blood required for a blood test was similar to the amount required for a minimum blood donation. Artair doubted whether there was anyone in the Buffett factory who could test the blood after Old Lynch fled overnight.

"That's a lot of blood..." Looking at Sophie's exaggerated gestures, Altaïr also made an exaggerated expression of surprise and echoed, "Then you should eat more tonight. It is said that eating more beans can replenish blood."

At this moment, Altaïr suddenly realized that the spirit connected to Venata had just possessed Venata. He gently ran his fingers over the bracelet, allowing the spirit next to him to attach to his body. Then, he completed the connection with Venata's mind.

"Britton is still here. He is a Sequence 6 Requiem Master. He can keep track of the movements of this spirit. Although he can't directly see through what we are thinking, is it really okay to communicate with us now?"

Altaïr looked in Britton's direction with some worry, and the other party looked at him meaningfully, which made Altaïr shudder.

"As long as he doesn't know what we communicated, it's fine. You said I was your fiancée, so what's wrong with fiancées whispering to each other? What does it have to do with him?"

Vinata's thoughts were immediately transmitted through the connection between the two spirits.

"That makes perfect sense. I can't even argue with that..." Altaïr held his forehead helplessly. "So, what's your problem?"

"Nothing, I just want to ask, should I report to the Nighthawks through them?"

Vinata's heartbeat was a little hesitant. "After all, what Old Lynch said is very concerning."

"There's not enough evidence," Altaïr sighed. "Although we must report it, the amount of information we can reveal is not enough to convince the Nighthawks that it's better to believe it than not."

"If I tell them that there is an angel suspected to be a viewer involved here, then I will have to explain to them why I know this level of information. This will expose my involvement in the assassination of Father Matafari and even the identity of the demigod."

"In this case, we can only report the matter of the demon toad. Even if we relay Old Lynch's words verbatim, it is far from enough to make the Nighthawks take direct action."

"The Nighthawks will not act based on our one-sided statement alone. Even if they do, they will not directly force their way into the factory to search. That would not be able to hide it from the factory employees, and would expose the secrets of the extraordinary world to too many people. According to my guess, they are most likely to enter as agents to investigate first, and after reaching a definite conclusion, they will issue an administrative order to temporarily stop the factory, evacuate the workers, and then send people in to resolve the situation."

"But, how long will it take?"

Vinata said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"That's why I told you not to worry, because I know that official organizations have to follow procedures when doing this kind of thing. I told you that yesterday. Although official Beyonders are very decisive when dealing with powerless wild Beyonders, they still have to take it step by step when dealing with Beyonders like this who seem to have support."

Altaïr continued his conversation with Venata in his mind. "In fact, I even suspect that instead of waiting for them to complete the formalities, it would be better to wait for Miss Justice and the others to deal with their current problems as soon as possible and come to investigate."

"However, if the situation is really urgent, we can still ask Sister Vespe for help. She is not an official Beyonder and is not subject to similar regulations. I believe she will not sit idly by and watch such a thing."

As Altaïr tossed peas and carrot cubes into the pot and fried them until soft, he continued to converse with Venata.

There was a hint of hesitation in Vinata's heartbeat again.

"Sister Vespe shouldn't be able to move freely in Backlund, right? The Church of the Mother Earth doesn't have its own official Beyonder in Loen. Even if she has a divine favor, she can only act as an ordinary believer."

"I know, so this is the last resort."

"Okay..." Venata hesitated for a moment, then agreed with Altaïr and cut off the communication.

"Mr. Altaïr, if you don't put it in the pot, it will get burnt."

Sophie reminded him and Altaïr finally came to his senses and hurriedly scooped out the contents of the pot.
