Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

Danger is often hidden in the smallest details, so his pirate father told Crowe.

The moment the gas lamp was extinguished, he was startled suddenly, and heard a gust of wind whistling behind his head, and a picture of his throat being pierced suddenly appeared in his mind.

This is a premonition of danger from "Joker".

Immediately rolled forward, almost hit the door, slightly embarrassed movements let him dodge the fatal blow like a flash.

He felt a sharp cold wind blowing from the back of his neck, making his hairs shiver from the cold.

The man was stabbed empty, and before he had time to be surprised, he was kicked hard on the back, so strong that he almost broke his spine, his head lost control immediately, and hit the wooden door with a "bang".

Regardless of the pain, he immediately turned around, leaning his back against the wooden door, took out a stack of cards from his coat pocket and put them in the palm of his hand, ready to fight.

However, all he could see was the dark living room in front of him, and he couldn't see a single person.

The crimson moon in midair was covered by dark clouds at some point.

Another assassination, same as last time, no, more dangerous than last time, he is making progress... Crowe held his breath, his eyes rolled around, trying to find the assassin.

…………

Joyce squatted in the corner, clearly saw the cards in Crowe's hand, and thought of his performance when he avoided his assassination just now, and quickly made a judgment in his mind: he is not a Extraordinary of the lucky path, It's the "clown" of fortune tellers.

Holding the "Oath-Breaking Blade" in his hand, he felt a steady stream of power in his body. He seriously thought about the way to break the deadlock, and just about to make a move, he suddenly heard Crowe's voice.

"It seems that the injury last time was not deep enough to give you the courage to die so soon."

last time? What last time?

Joyce thought subconsciously and hesitated for a moment.

"Got you."

Crowe's voice of surprise sounded again.

At the same time, Joyce's head seemed to have been poured with lead water, panic and hesitation emerged, and he was even so frightened that he wanted to turn his head and run away immediately.

Relying on his strong desire to survive, he struggled to suppress his emotions, kicked the sofa by his feet, and blocked the cards flying like blades.

This is not the ability of "Joker", he has a magical item, audience path...

When the sofa blocked the sight of the two, Joyce regained his composure. With his rich knowledge of mysticism, he immediately guessed the reason why he almost lost control just now.

Then he saw Crowe dodge to the left.

Joyce made a decisive decision, held the "Oath-Breaking Blade" in his forehand, kicked his feet, and his whole body rose into the air to stab the enemy.

The sofa hit the ground and made a dull sound. I wonder if it will attract the attention of the neighbors.

You clearly know that I have a premonition of danger, but you still engage in a frontal assassination. You are at your wit's end. This time, I want you to stay here... There was a playful smile on Crowe's face, and the image of his heart being pierced flashed through his mind. Then he retreated a little confidently, while holding a card in his right hand, ready to slash the enemy's throat with a throwing knife.

It's now! He threw the cards out, already thinking of the scene of blood splatter.

It's a pity that reality always backfires, and Crowe remembered another sentence of the pirate father: Deadly danger always comes at the moment of victory.

He didn't see the imaginary scene of the enemy giving the head, but felt the severe pain from his chest.

He lowered his head and saw a long sword pierced straight into his heart, blood and temperature were rapidly drained from his body, and he fell back weakly.

Crowe died, and his last thought before he died was: I clearly predicted that there would be no danger today.

Divination saved him countless times, but killed him the last time.

Watching the enemy collapse, Joyce took off the card stuck to his clothes, which had a clown on it, and it was still a ghost card.

He stood there, closing his eyes unconsciously, as if he was feeling something.

There is a sense of emptiness after the stimulation wears off, and the feeling of being at a loss as to taking someone's life with one's own hands... Of course, what's more, is the inexplicable feeling brought about by the digestion of the potion, as if the burden on the body has been lightened by half at once.

It was just an assassination, isn't the extent of digestion a bit exaggerated?

Joyce turned the longsword-shaped "Oath-Breaking Blade" into a dagger, put it back on his waist, and thought about the "Assassin" rules he summed up.

The most important one is: You are an assassin only at the moment of the assassination.

Others include "you can kill the target by any means", "don't challenge the impossible task", etc... These are some of his experiences in his previous life.

If Crowe hadn't suddenly appeared tonight for some reason, his original plan was to ask "Pharmacist" Charlie for some deadly or hallucinogenic potions, and make more thorough preparations to ensure the success of the assassination.

However, the current result is acceptable. Although the process is a bit thrilling, it is more in line with the characteristics of an "assassin" dancing on the tip of a knife.

He rummaged through Crowe's pockets, and found scattered items including playing cards, crystal bracelets, gold coins, and dozens of pounds in cash... Where are the magical items? What about the magical item from the Spectator Path that just drove himself insane?

Soon, Joyce fixed his gaze on Crowe's eyes. His left eye was normally black, but the pupil of his right eye was a weird golden pupil.

Oh, it's a bit disgusting... Joyce cruelly cut out Crowe's right eye, and put it in an iron cigarette case for preservation without daring to look closely.

After all this tossing, the wound at the heart of the corpse stopped bleeding, and a blood clot that radiated light coagulated, which was the Extraordinary characteristic of the Seer Path Sequence Eight "Joker", and was put away by Joyce again.

Next, he conducted a detailed search of the entire house, but found very little. Only a few banknotes were found, and the sum did not exceed a hundred gold pounds.

A pirate leader only has so little assets? impossible!

Joyce carefully searched for the secret room with a high probability of being hidden. Maybe he really didn't have the talent in this area, so he found nothing again.

He could only use the last resort... Go to the kitchen and find two pieces of white bread, break them in half and place them in the four corners of the room, he will continue to gather the wool of Origin Castle.

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Immortal Venerable"

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianjun"

…………

The familiar gray fog appeared in front of his eyes and quickly dissipated. Joyce twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking that he still had a month to collect wool, and walked to the bedroom to find out the mechanism.

Why do these people like to hide the secret room next to the bed... While muttering, he found a lot of good things from the secret room.

Most of them are spiritual materials. Judging from his meager basic knowledge of mysticism, they should be necessary for performing ritual magic.

The only thing that is more precious is the tube of liquid in Joyce's hand. Although he does not recognize it, the abundant spirituality in it cannot be deceived. Considering that Crowe has been a "clown" for many years, the possibility of further promotion cannot be ruled out.

It is probably the main ingredient of the potion of Sequence Seven "magician".

The harvest is quite rich!

In addition, a stack of banknotes was also found, roughly estimated to be three to four hundred pounds. To Joyce's surprise, there was a portrait of a woman stacked under the gold pounds.

The woman in the painting is glamorous and lovable, with a mole between her eyebrows making her look even more charming. She looks about twenty-five or sixteen years old.

Who is this woman? Chloe's lover? No, he doesn't like this type... benefactor, or enemy...

There was no clue, he couldn't figure it out, and he simply didn't think about it. Joyce packed the Extraordinary materials away, but encountered difficulties in disposing of the corpse.

After thinking for a while, he picked up the key of the house and left, leaving the "crime scene" intact.
