Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 171 The Goddess is Watching You
Walking outside the clothing store, Lewis put on a half-high silk hat and examined himself briefly in the glass window.

Perhaps it was because his hair had grown longer during this period, which made him look a little decadent when he put on the top hat, but he was still extraordinarily handsome.

"Lucky gentleman!"

A man in a black and white vest trotted out of the clothing store and called out to Lewis.

Lewis frowned. He thought the other party was chasing him to ask for money, so his face turned cold, even though the things he took were worth much more than 5 pounds.

The man held a five-pound note in his hand. He returned the five pounds to Lewis and explained with a smile:
"You are our lucky customer, everything you buy today is free."

"Free?" Lewis nodded and smiled indifferently. He took the money with peace of mind and turned to leave.

The "Disaster Priest" was not so lucky. It was obvious that there was a supernatural being in the store. The collapse of the cash register had attracted the attention of that supernatural being.

Perhaps the other party regarded the accident as a threat.

He left the busy streets and took a trackless public carriage. After several carriage breakdowns, he finally arrived at the Church of Night in the suburbs.

At this time, the sun had completely risen from the sea. The believers of the Goddess of Night began to leave one after another after finishing today's morning class. The priest walked out of the auditorium with the teachings of the Goddess of Night in his hand.

Lewis chased the priest, intercepted him, took off his hat and saluted, saying:
"Mr. Bishop, I'm looking for Stephanie Strong."

The bishop seemed to remember Lewis. He asked Lewis to look for Stephanie, while he walked around the corner of the church and disappeared into the residential area.

Lewis walked to the Gothic building, pushed open one of the rooms, and walked into the basement along the secret passage.

At the end of the basement was a lonely little room with a flickering gas flame. In the light of the flame, Miss Stephanie was sleeping on the floor.

Lewis frowned, he had a bad feeling, and pushed open the heavy iron door, only to see a gentleman with a high hairline sitting under the gas lamp, holding the classics of the Church of Night in his hands, studying devoutly.

Lewis recognized the gentleman at first sight. This was the "spiritual witch" who guarded the mermaid on Night Vanilla Beach.

"This should be the first time we meet, Mr. Lewis." The "Spirit Witch" closed the book with a "pop" sound.

The sound echoed in the small space, appearing exceptionally clear and dull.

"What should I call you, Mr. 'Spiritual Witch'?" Lewis twitched his lips, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger.

"Yell Beavis, let me convey the goddess' oracle to you."

"Oracle?" Lewis pretended to be confused and asked, "Excuse me, what kind of gift does the goddess want to give me?"

"It is indeed a gift. The goddess said that she wanted to find a river, and you are the one closest to that river." Yael passed by Lewis with the doctrine. He tapped four times on his chest, outlining a crimson moon, and smiled, "The goddess is watching you."

Shouldn't it be May the goddess bless you? You said the goddess is watching me, there is always a sense of threat... Lewis complained silently.

Although he had long known that the goddess' gift must have a price, he did not expect that the price would come so quickly and actually require him to search for the River of Eternal Darkness.

Yael's back quickly disappeared. Miss Stephanie, who was lying on the ground, slowly opened her eyes. The light of the gas lamp in front of her was jumping, and Lewis was right in front of her.

"Mr. Lewis, I seem to have had a nightmare." Stephanie got up from the ground, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled. Of course you will have nightmares, after all, the sequence seven of "Spirit Witch" is "Nightmare", and just now, the "Spirit Witch" was sitting in the room.

"I think this must be a gift from the goddess. She knows that we are about to leave Loen." Lewis said insincerely.

"This is great." Stephanie excitedly changed into an Intis-style skirt in front of Lewis.

Lewis, deprived of his decadent desires, felt nothing inside and even felt a little superficial.

After a while, he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen. The desire that had been taken away before reappeared, and he once again remembered the famous words of Emperor Roselle:

"The witch tastes really good!"

It seemed that the desires taken away by the messenger Elana would only disappear for a few hours before reappearing again.

After putting on his half-high silk hat, Lewis's suit had become clean and tidy again when he left the Church of the Night.

Miss Stephanie, wearing leather pants and a tight black top, covered the upper half of her face with a fine mesh black veil, and took Lewis' arm and left together.

At this time, the dock destroyed by the tsunami was being rebuilt and there were only a few ships left on the beach.

Walking in front of the dock, Lewis looked for the ship to Intis, with Mandy's image all over his mind.

He had no idea when Mandy disappeared, and he couldn't even tell exactly when Mandy turned into Amon.

This is the terrifying thing about Amon. One day, the person next to you walks the same path with you and says the same words as usual, but until the moment he puts on a monocle, you will realize that something has changed.

As far as he could remember, the first time he felt something was wrong with Mandy was two years ago, when she had just taken the "monster" potion.

Stephanie, who regained her freedom, seemed to be in a good mood. She would occasionally kick away the pebbles at her feet, and occasionally open her mouth towards the sea breeze, as if trying the taste of the sea breeze.

“Mr. Lewis, it’s always been full of surprises since I met you,” Stephanie said.

"Me too, Miss Stephanie. I think, because of you, I really fell in love with the tall and straight Intis sycamore." Lewis smiled faintly, remembering what he said in his reply to Miss Sera.

Stephanie blinked, leaned elegantly into Lewis’ arms, and whispered:
“Mr. Lewis, do you know?
The flower language of the Intis sycamore is noble character and loyal love. "

Loyalty? Lewis could never figure out why noble character and loyal love were mixed together.
Besides, Miss Stephanie, you are a bus, and loyal love has nothing to do with you.

The two bought the nearest boat ticket, and a luxury cruise ship will depart for Intis this afternoon.

The cruise ship will stop at an island outside Enmat Port and then head to Innis. It is expected to arrive in Innis in the afternoon three days later.

When the time came, Lewis boarded the ship to Intis with a nervous mood. The huge ship made a heavy roar, scaring away the seabirds and aquatic creatures on the shore, and sailed towards the vast ocean.

The golden light disappeared at the end of the coast, and the end of the ship seemed to be the home of the sun...
