Secret: The Witch's House Traitor

Leonard wanted to raise his gun and shoot again, but suddenly his ears moved and he dodged to the side, and the shadow fell towards his original position.

Leonard dodged, but his windbreaker was inevitably stained with some oil. He looked back and saw a red flower with hideous thorns growing on it, and oil bottles were being thrown from the second floor to the first floor.

The oil spilled on the ground quickly caught the house on fire when it came into contact with the flames, and even the ground in front of him where he was chasing was covered with slippery oil stains.

"Damn it, I'm going to catch you!"

Leonard was obviously unwilling to give up just like that. He looked back at his teammates who were separated by the flames, and resolutely chased in the direction of Lin Nuo.

Outside the court, Lin Nuo did not have any extraordinary abilities that would allow him to escape. He could only run at a speed of 70 miles per hour with his hood held down and his head lowered, heading towards the Tussock River in the distance.

Leonard stared at Lin Nuo's back with his green eyes. He covered his bleeding forearm with a firm look. He would not let you escape this time.

By the Tussock River, Triss slowed down her pace and bent down to pick up the broken bright red flowers that had been left behind.

Looking at the blood stained on the beautiful red flower, Triss sneered. Her lips murmured silently, and a ball of black, illusory flame suddenly burst out from her palm.

The black illusory flame ignited the red flower and burned it to ashes, and the power of the curse also spread along the spiritual traction.

"Old man? What did you say?"

Leonard was about to continue chasing, but he suddenly turned his head as if he had heard some bad news. His face suddenly became gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and broke off the nail of his left index finger.

Leonard's face was twisted with pain, but he did not stop what he was doing. He used his broken fingernail to scratch the wound that was accidentally pierced by the red flower, leaving it stained with dark red blood.

He muttered a spell, quickly pulled out a few strands of hair, wrapped them around the nail, and threw it far away.

Whoosh!

The next moment, the blood-stained nails wrapped around the hair suddenly burned, emitting a foul burnt smell.

Leonard turned his head again, but Lin Nuo was no longer in his sight. He could only turn around and enter the second-floor house that was emitting black smoke again to find his teammates who were destroying the altar and recycling the puppets.

At the Tussock River, Triss didn't step into the river and sank into the water until Linno was out of danger.

"The target escaped. At least we destroyed the altar and prevented the other party from completely starting the ritual."

Leonard lowered his head, climbed through the window to the first floor, and said with a forced smile to Dunn and others who were destroying the altar and putting out the fire.

Leonard looked a little disappointed because he let two guys from the Witch Sect escape.

"Cheer up, even though we were unable to help you get revenge, we at least got back Sealed Artifact 2-049!"

Dunn walked over and patted Leonard on the shoulder to comfort him.

"What? How is that possible?"

Leonard looked over in disbelief, and then he saw Klein holding up a clown doll wrapped in brown strips and grinning at him.

Chapter 46 Lost and Found

Leonard recognized at a glance that the clown in Klein's hand was the sealed object that was lost in their last mission. He quickly walked forward, took it from Klein's hand, and examined it carefully.

"Great! We actually managed to get this sealed object back? The last incident was definitely done by the bastards from the Witch Church!"

Leonard's expression was first surprise, then gnashing of teeth, and finally relief.

"Okay, don't put so much pressure on yourself. Since the things were lost in Tingen City, how could we, the Nighthawks, not be able to find them back?"

Klein walked over with a smile and gently patted Leonard on the shoulder. Of course, he had prepared this seal in advance.

The opportunity just now was really rare. The thick smoke, flames, darkness, cold wind, chaotic spiritual fluctuations, low-quality dolls scattered all over the ground, and the rest of the Night Watchers were attracted by Leonard who chased out alone...

"No, everyone follow me!"

Leonard seemed to recall something after being tapped lightly by Klein. He quickly stretched out his hand and began to stretch.

"Hurry up and follow me, this is not the time to joke around!"

Leonard looked at his teammates who were just smiling at him and couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

“Heh, ahem, Klein, since you discovered the seal, why don’t you explain it?”

Dunn chuckled, coughed twice, and looked at Klein.

Hearing this, Klein suppressed the curve of his lips and explained as he looked at Leonard who was dancing alone.

"According to my speculation, Sealed Artifact 2-049 should have been suppressed by the curse contained in the evil altar. This is why we couldn't divine its exact location before."

"Although the altar has been destroyed by us, the suppression of Seal 2-049 by the altar has not yet dissipated. Therefore, before we actively use the power of this seal, it should be in a relatively safe state."

After listening to Klein's explanation, Leonard looked down and saw that Sealed Artifact 2-049 did not move at all, just like a real puppet. The corners of his mouth twitched and he stopped dancing in front of Klein and others.

"Ahem, Captain, we can't let our guard down. What if this seal is meant to confuse us?"

Leonard said to Dunn with a straight face and very seriously.

"Leonard, what you said makes sense. We must not take it lightly!"

After Dunn finished speaking, he took the initiative to lead the stretching exercises, and he turned around and praised Leonard.

"Leonard, your moves just now were very standard!"

Leonard: “???”

"Pfft!"

Klein couldn't help but laugh at Leonard's embarrassment. He was the one who knew the truth best. The reason why Sealed Artifact 2-049 was so well behaved was because it sensed the breath of the gray fog.

Klein calmly touched the iron cigarette box in his arms. When he received the goods, he had never expected that Mr. Lover would be so thoughtful as to bring packaging. This made him learn how to hide contraband all of a sudden.

In the West District, in the suburban woods, after Lin Nuo burned the black robe he borrowed from Triss, he slept alone in the woods for a night. Because it was summer, the weather was not too cold, it was even a little cool.

The next day, Lin Nuo, wearing a simple linen coat, took a public carriage back to Iron Cross Street and returned to the small house where Anna had once rented.

He hid the tuxedo and two pistols under the floor of the room, and then mobilized the last of his supernatural power to weave a false memory for Admisor, and then he released his control over the boy.

When Ademisol opened his eyes again, what he saw was a simple but tidy house. On the table in front of him was an admission letter to a public elementary school, and on the bed were two sets of clean clothes.

At No. 3 Wendel Street, North District, the sunlight filtered through the window, dyeing Lin Nuo's silver hair into a dazzling golden color. He held a fountain pen and wrote the new issue of the Astrology Daily.

"In the new week, the lucky color for the farming and thundering signs is black. The overall fortune will show a downward trend. It is recommended to participate in more social activities and avoid over-trusting and relying on others."

"Mars is retrograde recently... It is easy to lose control of emotions and cause conflicts. Everyone should pay attention in advance and not let the movement of the stars affect their emotions."

The newspaper in Lin Nuo's hand still contained the contents of the previous issue and a simplified version of a chart of astral symbols, which he had specially added after receiving feedback from the newspaper.

"In the sense of mysticism: the star - Mars, the symbol - conflict, power, the nature - more masculine, the corresponding deity - the god of war, the corresponding metal - iron, the body part - the male reproductive organ, the organ - muscle, the psychology - action, work attitude."

"Mars retrograde means that things symbolized by Mars may undergo unfavorable changes. The citizens of Tingen are reminded to prepare in advance."

After Lin Nuo finished writing, he put down his pen, folded the manuscript in front of him into an envelope, and then looked out at the blue sky.

"The movement of stars in this world is really chaotic. There are often changes in the stars without any signs. Fortunately, most of the time there are traces to follow, otherwise we astrologers would all commit suicide."

"This time, Mars' retrograde motion will last for about three months. Will those upper-class people in Tingen City give up investing in the steel industry because of an eye-catching article in Tingen City Honest Man's Newspaper?"

Lin Nuo turned the pen in his hand, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Just when Lin Nuo was expecting something, his grey eyes flickered and a chilly feeling appeared in the room. The originally warm atmosphere in the room disappeared in an instant.

"Did Admisol cost 600 pounds this time? If we include the 1300 pounds spent on the extraordinary materials, that's 2000 pounds!"

Lin Nuo took a quick look through the memories brought back by the derived spirits. Most of the money was spent on "purchasing" curse materials, and a small part was spent on him actively helping "Admisol" improve his life.

"Anna?"

Lin Nuo walked through the bedroom wall and went straight to the next room and shouted to the maid who was putting on makeup.

"ah?"

Anna was startled by Lin Nuo's sudden appearance, and the lipstick in her hand was smeared on her cheeks and chin.

"Please help me deliver this manuscript to the newspaper office later, and then take the child named Admisol to the public elementary school to arrange for admission. He is now living in the house you rented before."

"After you finish these things, remember to bring back the statue of the original demon goddess and the protective amulet that I left there."

Lin Nuo didn't care about the maid's embarrassment. He walked up to her and handed the envelope to her. Then he took the lipstick from her hand and helped her draw a symmetrical line on her face before walking through the wall and leaving leisurely.

Chapter 47 Filter

"Master, that's too much!"

After Lin Nuo left, Anna looked at herself in the mirror and pouted in dissatisfaction.

Anna originally thought that Lin Nuo moved her room from the first floor to the second floor in order to make it easier for her to serve him personally. Now it seems that her idea was almost the same. Lin Nuo arranged it this way just to make it easier for him to "play" with her.

Although she was full of resentment in her heart, Anna quickly fixed her makeup and went out to complete the task assigned by Lin Nuo.

Anna first submitted Lin Nuo's manuscript to the newspaper, and then returned to her former residence with mixed feelings.

The air on the lower street of Iron Cross Street is still as bad as before, and the occasional malice in the eyes of the people living in this neighborhood is equally frightening, but now Anna can look at these things with a normal mind.

Because of the talisman given by Lin Nuo, she no longer worried that she would be put in a sack and kidnapped by a few thugs. Although she did not let her guard down, she discovered some things that had been overlooked in the past.

The thieves she was wary of were children with famine-looking faces and cold eyes, the "vultures" who wore old and ragged clothes and looked greedily at strange and glamorous people. They would be afraid of more ferocious beasts and dare not stop.

Anna swung the revolver in her hand handsomely, and her eager look made several malicious guys who were following her from a distance stop in their tracks.

She returned to the small house she had rented before. Instead of pushing the door open, she smiled brightly and knocked on the door gently.

"Hello, is anyone home?"

Just like when Lin Nuo came to visit...

......

"Master, I'm back. This is what you told me to do."

In the evening, Anna returned home with a packed dinner.

She placed the statue of the Original Witch and the silver amulet on the table in front of Lin Nuo.

"Ah."

Lin Nuo didn't look at the things on the table. Instead, he took the food Anna packed with both hands and responded with a light sound.

"Master, the tuition for the public primary school is three pence per week. When I brought Admithal to school, I paid his tuition for three years."

"I later took him to the Dragon Bar, and the retired Mandated Punisher boss was willing to take care of the child for the sake of the gold pound."

Anna reported to Lin Nuo everything she had done. She looked in a good mood, as if she had gained some spiritual satisfaction in the process of helping Admisol.

"Ah."

Lin Nuo responded indifferently. He did not feel happy about "salvation" like Anna.

Admisol helped him do things and he gave him corresponding rewards. It was that simple.

Even if the other party did not do it on purpose, considering that he completed the task excellently and cooperated along the way, those were the rewards he deserved.

"You did well."

Lin Nuo waved at Anna, and when she came closer, he gently rubbed her head. This was also the reward Anna deserved.

"By the way, Master, I heard some news on the way back."

Anna squinted her eyes in enjoyment, she poked her head out of Lin Nuo's arms and said.

"Conservative MP Maynard seems to have fallen seriously ill. I heard that he can't even speak now and is completely paralyzed. Some people even say that MP Maynard has been cursed by an evil wizard."

Anna couldn't help laughing as she shared the rumors she heard from outside.

She has now stepped half a foot into the door of the extraordinary world, and it feels very interesting to hear the seemingly plausible rumors outside again.

"Well, if it's true, it should be registered in tomorrow morning's newspaper."

Lin Nuo stroked Anna's soft hair and nodded affirmatively, then changed the subject and spoke.

"You can come with me tomorrow to organize all the affairs of Steve Shipping Company."

"Master, I understand. I will help you deal with those troublemakers!"

Anna nodded. She knew that Lin Nuo had received 5000 pounds from Lanevus, which was enough to deal with the mess left by her father.

If the survivors of the shipwreck were too greedy and demanded outrageous compensation, she would definitely fight for it!

"Well, the ones who caused the most trouble should be dead now, so your future work should go smoothly."

Lin Nuo said.

"Wha...what?"

Anna looked at Lin Nuo in surprise and confusion.
