Chapter 96 Making a Deal with the Devil

Wayne caught the fallen maid and picked her up horizontally. She was very light, probably less than 90 kilograms.

"Is it so easy to solve?"

Kerr looked at the maid Oga in surprise, then looked at the bottle of mushrooms in his hand. He could no longer tell whether what the maid said was true or false.

"She didn't lie. It was the Lady Dinah from ten years ago..."

Wayne carried Oga to the next room, turned on the light, put him on the sofa, and propped open his eyelids with his fingertips to examine him for a while.

Kerr stood and watched, curiously asking, "What are you checking, who is she or is she a ghost?"

"I'm pretty sure she's human, but she has some other souls inside her."

And there’s more than one!
The more Wayne examined, the more surprised he was. Oga's mind was very confused. There was more than one soul lurking in her body. Except for her own relatively intact soul, the other souls could only be described as fragments.

As Lady Dinah just showed, she is a soul that is close to dryness.

A candle in the wind can go out at any time.

These souls absorb the essence of life and spirit, usually attaching themselves to the maid's body like parasites, and have a serious impact on the maid's mental thinking.

During the day, the maid might be herself, but at night, it’s hard to say, she could be Lady Dinah or someone else…

Wayne explained the results of his examination, and Kerr suddenly realized: "No wonder her personality is so changeable and she has sleepwalking. So this is the reason."

Wayne nodded: "Her condition is most likely caused by magic. Mr. Bart is not an ordinary person, he must be a magician."

Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out.

Oga possesses a rare magical physique.

Wayne had heard from teacher Yu Jie that there were many strange physiques in the magical world, of all kinds, and Veronica's dragon blood was one of them.

There are good and bad magical physiques, and not all physiques can bring an increase in power like dragon blood. Some mutated physiques are more like curses, and without treatment and guidance, they will die before reaching adulthood.

By the way, Wayne's pure magic power was regarded by Sphy as a mutant, a chosen one by God, a one-in-a-million favored one by God.

Planck had a higher opinion of Wayne. Wayne could perfectly match every kind of divine power. This performance was unprecedented. It was more like a reversion to his ancestral state than a physical mutation.

Planck believed that Wayne had awakened the original bloodline of the beginning of mythology, and was a descendant of God and the original ancestor.

Magical physique is very complex, some are congenital, and some are acquired. Wayne doesn't know where Ogia's physique comes from. He can only analyze that because of her special physique, her body can accommodate more souls.

This may be a new discovery in the magical world. As the first discoverer, Wayne has the right to name it and gave it a resounding name - bus physique.

"Do you want to continue?"

Wayne stood up and said to Kerr, "This family is more complicated than I thought. If the missing Myron Bart is a magician, it is possible that one of the family members is also a magician. Your investigation of feeding mushrooms to everyone one by one will definitely be exposed. If you can't finish it, your life may be in danger."

Kerr hesitated for a moment, but decided to continue: "The mystery has just begun. As a detective, I can't give up at this time. I hate giving up halfway more than danger."

Wayne thought so too. This question was very interesting.

He was very curious about why Myron Bart let his stand-in commit suicide and then disappeared, hid, or lurked. Perhaps other family members could give the answer.

The two looked at each other and thought of their clients at the same time. Mrs. Marina and eldest son Hayden invited detectives from London to investigate one month after the suicide.

This means that both of them knew that Bart was not dead, but after searching for a month without any results, they entrusted the detective to let professionals handle the matter.

"Kerr, do you know the lady's room?"

"Of course, but let me be frank with you. We are professional detectives. Don't put the mushrooms in the wrong place when you feed them to us later."

"..."

This awful dirty joke gives me a sense of pushback!
Kerr may not be a serious man, but as a detective, his craft is undoubtedly qualified. With a small piece of wire, he easily opened Mrs. Marina's door.

Wayne just watched from the side. Kerr was responsible for the charge, and he was the cover from the rear. Since it was unclear who the magician was, this division of labor made it easier for him to collect Kerr's bodies.

The result was not very good and it was a complete failure.

Mrs. Marina's bedroom was empty. The two men checked but did not find any secret passages in the house.

Next came the eldest son Hayden and the second son Stuart. These two were pure idiots. After eating some mushrooms that were so delicious that they gave them hallucinations, they confessed everything.

The two young masters of the family were unaware of the family's truth and naively believed that their father was really dead. They stayed at the ancestral home just to divide up the family property.

The difference is that the eldest son still has some brains. He thinks his father's death is suspicious and most likely related to his beautiful stepmother. He spends a lot of money to hire a detective from the White Glove Association to investigate. If he is lucky, he can get the handle on his stepmother, and he can not only inherit the family property but also the stepmother.

If the eldest son has some brains, the second son is a typical stupid son of a landlord, simple-minded but strong-limbed, who stays at home only to inherit the estate.

This was a big blow to Wayne. When he learned that the second young master was a failure in the college entrance examination, he was optimistic about this stock and believed that the second young master would defeat all competitors and finally win the silver bracelet.

Is this the result?

Facts slapped Wayne in the face. He thought too much. Although both of them failed the exam, the failed sports students and the failed art students were completely on different levels.

……

The two came to the door of the last family member, the third daughter Heidi, the eldest daughter of the Bart family.

Kerr was skilled at picking the door and locking it, and Wayne followed closely behind him. As soon as he closed the door, he realized something was wrong. Judging from the smell, Mrs. Marina was also there.

He held Kerr's shoulders and made a few simple gestures, which came from his original body's muscle memory, indicating that there was more than one person in the bedroom in the inner room.

Kerr was slightly surprised, but he understood Wayne's gesture, took out a mushroom, and affirmed the professionalism of his colleague.

Kerr: There are so many talented people in the detective industry, and you are not an ordinary person, brother!
Wayne: Same here.

The two of them sneaked into the inner room in the dark. The large bed in the center of the bedroom was classical and luxurious, the curtains were gorgeous and elegant, and decorated with lace ribbons. The details were extremely complicated, in the standard Rococo decoration style.

With the help of the moonlight outside the window, Wayne could clearly see the two ladies on the bed. Mrs. Marina, a former professional model who was 1.8 meters tall and whom he had met during the day, was now curled up in a woman's arms.

The woman had fair skin, rosy lips, long wavy hair, soft and shiny, and was wearing a white long dress and nightgown. She was breathing steadily. Judging from her facial features, she was not much older than Wayne, but she was mature and reserved, with an elegant charm far beyond her peers.

Heidi Bart!

Kerr made a gesture, Wayne nodded, and they both took out their mushrooms and stretched them towards the target.

Snapped!
Mrs. Marina raised her hand to slap the mushroom away, her tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, she supported herself on the bed with one hand, and hit Kerr in the chest and abdomen with a side kick, kicking the wretched mushroom man to the window. Heidi woke up at the same time, and kicked Wayne in the neck, her nightgown slipped down, revealing a section of her calf and unromantic white socks.

Wayne raised his hand to grab the attacker's ankle, narrowed his eyes slightly, triggered a combo, and used his five fingers to perform a move called God's Tears.

The moment her five fingers tightened, Heidi pulled her leg back like a slippery fish, leaving only one sock for Wayne.

Heidi jumped up with a quick and sharp movement that was dazzling in the slightly dim room. She grabbed Wayne's hands, stepped on the edge of the bed for leverage, and struck him straight up with a knee.

Wayne turned his head to avoid the attack, and instead grabbed Heidi's wrists, pulled her into his arms, and headbutted her heavily.

With a bang, Heidi fell on the bed with her head tilted back, her legs stretched straight and she hissed.

"Fancy."

Wayne's life essence was filled up, and a huge amount of earth elements were injected, which greatly strengthened his muscles and bones. One punch from him could make Willy cry for a long time.

Apart from Veronica, he had never been afraid of anyone. Heidi's attack seemed just so-so to him, fierce but not powerful enough.

On the other side, Kerr also ended the battle and groaned as he was stepped on by Lady Marina.

As a detective, you were a complete failure for not being able to defeat your employer during the night raid!
Wayne looked over there, and Marina also looked over at him, and coldly rebuked him, "Detective Wayne, I asked you to investigate the master's death, and you found the young lady's bedroom?"

"Ma'am, you're joking. Mr. Bart's whereabouts are unknown, and you, as a widow, are hanging out with the young lady. There are too many suspicious things about you two. It's normal for me to find out this far." Wayne sneered.

"Do you think the judge will believe you?" Marina's face became even colder.

"I think the judge is more curious about the relationship between the lady and the young lady."

Wayne refuted without showing any weakness: "I have already checked. Mr. Bart is not dead. The one who committed suicide with a gun was a stand-in. You commissioned the White Glove Association to investigate his whereabouts. You even married Mr. Bart for another purpose. Your original last name is Bart. You should call him uncle."

Marina's face darkened and she stepped hard, causing Kerr to scream.

Because it's him, this isn't a reward!

While Wayne was talking, he kept his eyes on Heidi on the bed, trying to judge whether she knew based on her expression. Unfortunately, Heidi was stunned by the headbutt and raised her hands to cover her face, so he couldn't see whether her expression changed.

"As expected of an elite detective from the White Glove Association, you have found out so much in just half a day..."

Marina's face was gloomy. "But you have the wrong person. My commission is to investigate the deceased who committed suicide, not me."

Kerr raised his hand slightly. The above content was found by him and had nothing to do with Wayne.

"Okay, Marina, Detective Wayne is very professional, there's no need for you to turn yourself into a suspect." Heidi sat up, shaking her dizzy head, and the straps of her nightgown slipped off, revealing a part of her shoulders.

Wayne had just been tricked by a honey trap, so he was very wary of women he didn't know but was willing to give out benefits. He frowned and took a step back: "It turns out that Miss Heidi knows the identity of the lady very well. The two of you are accomplices!"

“There were some plans, but they were not implemented in time.”

Heidi rubbed her head and stood up. She looked at the fallen mushrooms on the bed, her eyes flashing. "Two detectives, are you interested in hearing about the history of the Bart family?"

The camera turns to the sofa in the living room outside the bedroom.

Heidi was wearing a coat. There was a red spot on her fair forehead, and she shook her head from time to time.

Marina sits next to her, and their relationship is very complicated. They are cousins, mother and daughter, and lovers. Marina, who looks cold, is the bottom, and Heidi, who is mature and introverted, is the main attacker.

Wayne and Kerr sat opposite each other, the latter grinning, obviously having been beaten badly.

"Detective Wayne, the investigation I commissioned you to do was just an assessment. My father Bart is indeed still alive. I wonder if you are still interested in continuing the investigation and finding out where he is hiding." Heidi said.

"What about me? I also passed the test?" Kerr complained.

"I'm not your client and I have no right to ask, but if you want, I'd be happy for you to continue investigating."

Heidi observed the two detectives and saw that they had no intention of refusing. She smiled and said, "Speaking of my father's disappearance, I have to mention the Bart family's beliefs. According to family history records, we were servants of the devil and believed in the bloody tyrant of hell."

Faith of blood!
The evil god from hell!
Wayne's expression remained unchanged, and he thought of the councilor of Lendan City, the monster bathing in a sea of ​​blood.

"No matter how it is whitewashed, the belief in hell is evil. The heads of the family for generations know this very well. So after getting the first pot of gold, our Bart family gave up the belief in blood and instead bathed in the glory of the Heavenly Father."

Heidi went on to say, "Faith is a brand, a curse passed down in the bloodline. Every family head will hear the whispers of the evil god in the dead of night. They will dream of a bloody hell, of being toyed with by the evil god, and of being tortured. No one has ever lived long."

"Unlike other family heads' self-perceptions, my father is a complete bastard. He doesn't mind regaining his faith in blood. As long as he can make money, he is willing to make a deal with the devil."

"Two years ago, his body aged rapidly and his condition became worse day by day. He was afraid of death and thought of the devil in his dream. He planned to trade with him in exchange for his life."

As she spoke, Heidi's voice became gloomy: "My two elder brothers have been away for a long time and rarely settled in Dragon Heart Island, so he once discussed this matter with me. I didn't agree at the time. He might get a long life, but the successors of the family will definitely pay for him."

"Later, my father's health gradually improved. He did not listen to my advice and made a deal with the devil. For the sake of the family, I decided to imprison him..."

"Before I could do anything, he disappeared!"

Heidi looked at the two detectives. "It took me a long time to find him, so I had to ask the magic world for help. You two are magicians, right?"

“What a good eye!”

Kerr nodded and acknowledged it with a grin, and Wayne said nothing.

"I am an ordinary person and cannot find my father's hiding place. You two are magicians and professional detectives, so you will definitely get something. I hope you can save the Bart family." Heidi solemnly issued a commission.

"No, belief in the devil is very troublesome. I suggest Heidi seek help from the Church of the Heavenly Father. They are more professional in dealing with the devil." Kerr suggested.

"Then the Bart family is finished..."

Heidi smiled bitterly and shook her head. Seeing that the two detectives were still hesitating, she said bluntly, "Don't worry, I only ask you to find your father's hiding place. I don't intend to let you face the devil. I will fully represent the Bart family to deal with the aftermath."

"If this is the case……"

Wayne interrupted Kerr halfway through his words: "Miss Heidi, can you tell me what kind of deal Mr. Bart made with the devil?"

"My father didn't say much. The devil told him to look for one thing."

"what?"

"What the dragon left behind, the dragon's great secret treasure."
