Mystery: The Witch of Desire

The crimson lines lit up completely, revealing a pattern like this?

Liviel now understood that this Crystal Palace definitely had a deep connection with the Witch Cult!

Janice, standing to the side, was also stunned, muttering to herself repeatedly:

"This works...this works too?!"

Then, she looked at Michelle, whose face was tragically beautiful and whose figure was voluptuous, and a wicked smile appeared on her face:

“Perfect timing. I have two more puppets outside. Race with them and work up a good sweat.”

As she spoke, Michelle flicked her finger, and the corpses of the guards lying outside the barrier stood up and walked towards Michelle with the natural movements of living people.

Michelle looked terrified; she had never been so afraid, not even when facing death.

She quickly stepped behind Livre and said firmly:

"I do not want!"

Upon hearing this, Janice loosened her grip, and several guard puppets collapsed to the ground with a thud. She shook her head with considerable regret and said:

"What a pity, I am the most skilled in the divination path when it comes to manipulating puppets."

Michelle looked anxiously at Livre and pleaded:

"Miss Marilyn Monroe, please, you do it...!"

Livre was taken aback by his words, then gave a bitter smile: It was normal for Ms. Michelle to choose herself over a corpse and an enemy.

Since she's pleaded so earnestly, it wouldn't be right to refuse her...

Livre nodded and comforted Michelle in a gentle tone:

"Okay, let's have a running race. You have to run hard and sweat a lot."

After the frantic run, Michelle left behind a lot of sweat, which was then sent into the vortex device.

……

Finally, the crimson patterns lit up completely, revealing themselves to the three of them:

It was a womb pattern with the door seam as the boundary, with a pair of small hands on either side of the door, as if each was in charge of a doorway, exuding an indescribable eerie aura.

Liviel couldn't help but reach out and touch her lower abdomen. The patterns on her abdomen seemed to echo the patterns on the door, and they became slightly warm.

What on earth is going on...? What exactly is inside the Crystal Palace's mausoleum, and why are there so many witch-related elements...?

As Liviel pondered, the rumbling continued, and the pitch-black 'Curse Gate' slowly slid to both sides. From within the cracks, a chilling, deathly aura surged forth, mixed with the faint whispers of countless departed souls.

However, whether it was just her imagination or not, Livre always felt that among those chilling whispers of the dead, there was also a faint, almost imperceptible murmur.

Finally, the 'Gate of Curses' was fully opened, and the Crystal Palace was revealed in its entirety: rows of crystal pillars stood tall, their light shimmering, and several mummies, enveloped in crystalline mist, lay quietly on a high platform, their bodies seemingly shrouded in a black fog that had lingered for years.

Behind those high platforms where mummies were placed, there was a large door leading to an unknown destination, through which a long corridor could be seen.

Upon witnessing this scene, Michelle struggled to her feet, her body trembling slightly, and exclaimed in disbelief:

"This, this is the interior of the Crystal Palace..."

Janice, standing nearby, also looked shocked, but still couldn't resist a sarcastic remark:

"I never expected you to live to see this. Heh... the witch knows just too much."

Michelle blushed, while Livre ignored Janice and focused on observing the interior of the Crystal Palace mausoleum.

There are three mummies on the high platform, arranged in a triangular shape. Each mummy exudes a powerful spiritual energy, far stronger than the one that the Rose School transported to Tingen.

Among them, the one at the apex of the triangular formation exudes an exceptionally powerful aura, likely making it an absolute powerhouse even among demigods.

She pointed to the mummy at the top and said to Janice:

"As agreed, we'll take that one, and you can have the other two..."

Before she could finish speaking, Janice suddenly let out a cold laugh.

Livre immediately became alert and said sternly:

"What, you want to back out?"

At the same time, she was already mentally preparing to recite the messenger's summoning incantation.

However, Janice showed no reaction, and simply said in a deep voice:

"I'm afraid the military won't let us get our hands on these mummies so easily."

She gazed at a rock not far from the entrance to the crystal formation in the distance, a playful smile appearing in her eyes:

"You agree, don't you, Major General Nasita from MI9?"

As the words fell, the figure of a woman in a black evening gown appeared. She wore a gold mask that covered half of her face, and a crown woven from thorns was placed on her head.

At the same time, two squads of soldiers in red shirts and white trousers, carrying rifles, ran in neatly from the entrance of the barrier and lined up on both sides of the entrance. The soldier at the rear of the squad was also pushing a small wheeled cannon, with the muzzle of the gun and the cannon pointed at the three women standing in front of the 'Gate of Curses'.

The woman whom Jenny called Narcida spoke, her voice clear and cold:

"Why would the Secret Cult get involved in the affairs of the Southern Continent? Has your sleeping leader awakened?"

Livre was startled upon hearing this: Janice was a member of the Secret Order? The Secret Order that possessed the Antigonus Family Notes? Who was their sleeping leader?

Janice didn't answer directly, but instead spoke with an affected smile:

"If this is your last wish, I would be happy to tell you."

Before she finished speaking, her slender fingers suddenly curled up, and countless spiritual threads flew out, bypassing Nasita and wrapping around the two soldiers holding guns.

Almost instantly, the light in all the soldiers' eyes began to fade, as if they were about to become puppets manipulated by Janis.

"Manipulation is prohibited in this area!"

Naxida gave a cold shout, and the soldiers trembled simultaneously. Their eyes regained their focus, and they all raised their guns to fire at the three women.

Liviel quickly raised her palm and constructed a thick ice wall in front of her. However, the large-caliber steam rifles that fired spiritual bullets were extremely powerful, and the first wave of bullets shattered the ice wall.

Faced with the endless barrage of follow-up comments, Liver reached out and grabbed Michelle, leaping into the mirror to hide for a moment while waiting for Janice to eliminate the soldiers first.

However, at that moment, a sweet voice pierced Livia's ears from outside:

"Interaction with other spaces is prohibited here!"

Chapter 229 Cheek's Statue

With a loud bang, Livre and Michelle were thrown out of the mirror world and crashed heavily to the ground.

This arbitrator is such a demigod, he's insane!

Livre gritted her teeth, got up, and quickly rolled away with Michelle, dodging several steam rifle bullets fired at her.

No, we simply can't handle a demigod-level battle with Michelle in our arms...

Livre's mind raced, and she whispered to Michelle:

"Go into the Crystal Palace first and see if you can take those mummies with you!"

She shoved a mirror at Michelle and threw her right into the 'Cursed Gate'!

Bang! Michelle's body crashed to the ground, but as a Prisoner Sequence 7, she had enough resilience to quickly get up and rush towards the nearest high platform.

"Stop her!"

Seeing this, Nasita quickly gave the order, and the small-caliber cannon lit its fuse and aimed at the inside of the 'Cursed Gate'.

Liviel was initially puzzled as to why the other party would carry a cannon in such a confined space, but the next second, she realized that this cannon was a magical item:

Instead of cannonballs, a huge rope net was fired from the muzzle, which covered Michelle directly above her.

Michelle froze, standing still as if she were a petrified statue.

"I...I can't move..."

Michelle groaned in pain, helplessly watching as the rope net enveloped her.

Livre wanted to activate Mirror Transformation and emerge from the mirror on Michelle's body, but she was restricted by Narcida's laws. Helpless, she left a wand in place and activated the wand substitution ability to appear beside Michelle.

As soon as she appeared, Liviel felt the strong repulsive aura from the rope net, a powerful law that forbade extraordinary abilities!

At the same time, Nasita chanted again, and the bullets fired by the soldiers were simultaneously imbued with a dazzling light. They gathered together and transformed into a magnificent ocean of light, engulfing everything around them.

Livre's eyes stung, and even though she quickly looked away, a few hot tears still streamed down her face.

She quickly switched from her throbbing hunger to that of an interrogator, using the compatibility of the arbitrator's approach to minimize the impact of the scope of harm on herself.

Meanwhile, due to the promulgation of new laws, Narcida's law on 'prohibition of manipulation' was weakened, and Janis seized the opportunity to control the two soldiers at the front of the line.

With a flick of her finger, the two soldiers immediately turned their guns and pointed them at their comrade.

The remaining soldiers looked surprised and at a loss, when Naxida said urgently:

"Fire! They're already dead!"

Narcida's voice, like a command, carried a powerful inspirational force that quickly infected the soldiers. Boom! A volley of spiritual bullets shot out, piercing through the puppet's body and whistling towards Janis.

Nasita then issued new decrees:

"The mystery here has diminished, while reality has increased!"

In an instant, the kinetic energy of those bullets suddenly surged, and they charged forward like locomotives, directly crushing Janice's body and turning her into a pile of minced meat.

The next moment, one of the soldier puppets that had fallen to the ground stood up again, its face changing to the likeness of Janis, and released spiritual threads towards Nasita, who was not far away beside it.

"This area is off-limits..."

Just as Nasita was about to issue another decree, a loud explosion rang out in the distance: Livre poured double the spirituality into the 'Final Whisper' and fired at Nasita's mouth!

Nasita had never expected that a mid-sequence extraordinary being could unleash such a powerful attack. She hurriedly constructed a spiritual wall representing 'forbidden' to block in front of her.

Boom! Liviel's attack struck the wall of prohibition, creating a huge ripple, but it did not cause any real damage to Narcida.

However, Narcida, distracted by Livre's attack, failed to stop Janis's spiritual threads in time. The invisible threads invaded her body, causing her to become sluggish.

"This...place...this...place...is...forbidden..."

Nasita's chanting slowed considerably and was frequently interrupted by Janis's influence. The soldiers fired at Janis's puppets, but Janis continued to transform living beings into puppets, skillfully possessing each one to evade attacks while deepening her control over Nasita.

Finally, the manipulation reached the last step, and Janice's true form flew out from a puppet and appeared in front of Narcida.

The joy of soon obtaining a demigod-level puppet drove her into a frenzy, causing her to ignore the unusual activity around her.

Just then, the small-caliber cannon suddenly began to vibrate on its own, and a dazzling light gathered at the muzzle.

boom--

A long streak shot out from the cannon muzzle, seemingly prepared, and rushed towards Janice's back, transforming into a man dressed in a tuxedo and wearing the same golden mask.

His fist, like a cannonball, slammed into Janice's back with devastating force. Janice felt the killing intent coming from behind, but it seemed too late to dodge.

Boom! Her figure vanished from the spot, turning into a white paper figure. The paper figure only appeared for a moment before being reduced to ashes by the power of the man's punch.

Janice's figure appeared beside Livre, coughing up a mouthful of blood. Although she had used a paper doll to avoid the attack, she had still been affected and suffered severe internal injuries.

She reached into her abdomen, transferred the wound to her arm, and then said to Livre with a grave expression:

"We've been tricked! The military has a demigod lying in ambush here!"

"Where is your angel helper? Let Him out now, and stop thinking about guarding against me!"

Livre nodded and quickly recited the incantation to summon the messenger.

The next second, nothing happened.

Without any hesitation, Livre immediately abandoned Janice and Michelle, who was bound by ropes, and ran towards the mausoleum inside the Crystal Palace without looking back.

She believed the messenger wouldn't change her mind; since she hadn't appeared, it meant the time wasn't right.

So the next thing to do is to stall for time.

"You hold them off, I'll go control the mummy first!"

Upon hearing Livre's words, Janice was furious to the point of madness:

"You damned witch!"

However, she also understood that only she could temporarily hold off the two demigods, so she could only let Liviel explore the interior of the mausoleum first, hoping that things might take a turn for the better.

"Once I get back alive, I'm going to fuck you to death!"

Janice cursed angrily, meeting the sharp edge of the two demigods from the military.

Inside the 'Gate of Curses', Livre swept past the two high platforms beside her and rushed straight toward the most powerful mummy.
