Mystery: The Witch of Desire

Reeves felt a chill run down his spine, followed by the pain of being betrayed by Ms. B.

He originally thought Ms. B was his support in his despair, but it turned out that she and Xia Lani had the same goal: to bring down that evil god and send him to infiltrate the undercover world. It was just to compete with Xia Lani for benefits.

"Who can save those innocent victims? Who can punish these evil criminals?!"

Reeve looked up at the sky and let out a silent scream.

Only the true God Church remains.

He lowered his head, remembering the eerie woman with blue eyeshadow.

Daly Simone.

"As a night watchwoman from another jurisdiction, she volunteered to investigate possible contamination by evil spirits. She must be a person with a conscience, right?"

"The Dunn Smith she asked me to find, he should be someone I can trust, right?"

"The Goddess of Night, as a great being worshipped by countless people, should surely protect her people, right?"

Reeve glanced at the clock in the shop next door.

It's already 7:30.

Before long, Sharon will discover that he let Lorraine and the girl go.

There was no time to hesitate.

Reeve flagged down a horse-drawn carriage and said to the driver:

"Go to 36 Zotland Street, Blackthorn Security Company."

Once inside the carriage, Levi gripped a dagger tightly in one hand, pointing it at his chest, and held a mirror in the other, ready to pray for power from the presence in the mirror and fight to the death with any enemies that might appear.

He had abandoned ordinary weapons like pistols and was prepared to meet the invading enemy with the strongest possible resistance.

"Even if I am shattered to pieces, I will reach that place."

Reeve's expression was resolute as he stared intently at the scene outside the window.

As the carriage bumped along, Reeves gradually approached Zotland Street.

Suddenly, he felt a pressure on his heart.

As expected, the notary office noticed his behavior and punished him.

As they drew closer to Blackthorn Security, the punishment intensified, and Reeves felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if it were being squeezed by a giant hand.

The carriage traveled several hundred meters further when the pain became unbearable, as if it would crush his heart at any moment.

However, he had made up his mind that he would move towards Blackthorn Security Company no matter what.

"At least, dying at the door of the night watchmen, at least my miserable death will serve as a reminder to them, and they can still communicate with my corpse through spirits..."

Reeves was startled by his own thought, then gave a helpless, wry smile:

"Before I traveled through time, I probably never imagined that I would have such a fierce moment."

"If I could leave Tingen now, I would definitely run away at all costs."

"But I have no way out."

Chapter 59 Actors

The intense pain sometimes trembled rhythmically, and sometimes raged like a storm. Levi was drenched in sweat and curled up in the carriage in agony, as if his heart would explode into a cloud of blood at any moment.

Just then, the carriage slowly slowed down and came to a stop.

"Have we arrived at Blackthorn Security Company?"

A surge of joy welled up inside Levi, and he found some strength in his desperate situation, struggling to climb down from the carriage.

However, the scene before him made him pause. This was not the Blackthorn Security Company at 36 Zotland Street, and it was even some distance away from Zotland Street!

Could it be another attack?

However, no one else came over.

With a puzzled look, Levi struggled to his feet and looked at the driver in the driver's seat.

He was stunned for a moment:

The driver, with blood gushing from his mouth and nose and his eyes wide open, lay dead in the driver's seat.

The driverless carriage slowly came to a stop after the coachman died.

"Why, why would the driver..."

Seeing the driver's pained expression, Reeves suddenly had a terrible thought:

"The notarized document not only punished me, but also the coachman who helped me against that evil god. The coachman was not an extraordinary being, and his physique was not as good as mine, so he died suddenly as a result of the punishment..."

Reeves was immediately filled with regret and guilt.

He gently closed the driver's wide-open eyes and stood silently before the driver's body.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he did not draw the triangular emblem of the Steam Church that his predecessor had always believed in, but instead drew the crimson moon of the goddess of night.

May the goddess bless your soul and grant you peace.

Reeve bowed slightly to the coachman's body, then struggled forward toward Zotland Street and toward Blackthorn Security.

With each step, intense pain surged through his heart, growing stronger and stronger until it finally reached its peak when he was still several hundred meters away from Blackthorn Security Company.

Rivi's heart was numb with pain, his breathing was almost stopped, and his legs felt heavy as if they were filled with lead, so he could not take another step.

"If I die here, the night watchmen probably won't even notice my body..."

Levi gave a bitter laugh, his heart filled with despair.

He didn't know what to do; he couldn't even risk his life to deliver intelligence.

"Perhaps, the only option is to go back to the Riverside Theater and fight them..."

Levi knew that, bound by the oath, he had almost no hope of defeating Sharon and the others.

But it's always better to take a chance than to sit and wait for death.

He turned around, and the pain in his heart immediately subsided. Levi gave a helpless bitter smile and slowly walked towards Iron Cross Street.

Just then, a figure wearing a hooded black robe appeared beside him.

She carried a pleasant, subtle fragrance, and a faint smile played on her lips, visible beneath her hood.

“Ms. B?” Levi was taken aback, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly to himself: “Is she here to stop me? I’m already in this state, doesn’t she still care?”

Ms. B walked over to Reeves, looked at his haggard appearance, and stood silently for a while, seemingly lost in thought.

After a few seconds, she smiled and asked:

Since you didn't come to tonight's party, I had to come find you myself.

Levi was puzzled. He had just met with Ms. B, so why was she coming to see him again now?

He asked with some doubt:

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Ms. B smiled and said:

“You still have one reward to choose from: the heart and throat of the Demon Throat Honey. Don’t you want it? This isn’t something you can buy cheaply for a few pounds.”

Levi was stunned for a moment. With his life hanging in the balance, how could he have the mind to care about anything else?

He said with some dissatisfaction:

"Miss Cynthia, I don't care about money anymore, if you could save those..."

Before he could finish speaking, Levi's voice suddenly choked, as if a lump of foul blood was stuck in his throat, preventing him from saying anything more. At the same time, a sharp pain shot through his heart.

"How could this trigger the notary's penalty? I clearly told Ms. B about more sensitive information before and nothing happened..."

While feeling surprised and suspicious, Levi looked Ms. B up and down. She was wearing a hooded black robe, was tall, had fair hands, and her rosy lips were slightly upturned, as if she had a faint smile.

This is exactly the image of Ms. B in my mind.

However, compared to Ms. B whom I met at the mutual aid society, she lacked some of her alluring charm…

"Could it be..."

A terrible thought popped into Levi's head, and his whole body instantly turned ice-cold.

Whether it was an illusion or not, a murderous aura suddenly surged up all around.

Without thinking, Levi shoved Ms. B aside and instinctively lunged to the side himself.

Just then, a streak of black flame suddenly shot out, crashing into the spot where Ms. B had just stood. It missed its target, and the flying sparks ignited the surrounding debris. In an instant, the thick, inky flames spread wildly, creating a terrifying black sea of ​​fire.

In the direction from which the black flames came, a woman wearing a hooded black robe stood there, her fingertips still bearing the traces of burning black flames, a charming smile on her lips.

Yet another 'Ms. B'!

Ms. B, who was next to Levi, stood up from the ground and looked solemnly at the woman who was identical to her in terms of dress, temperament, and even the smallest details.

Reeves gave the "Ms. B" a cold look and said in a deep voice:

“Miss Cynthia, no, perhaps I should address you as, XXX… ‘Ms. Actress’!”

Levi tried to say Sharon's name but failed, and could only use "Ms. Actress" as a euphemism.

This fake Ms. B was actually impersonated by Sharani using her acting ability. She knew her own whereabouts, impersonated Ms. B, and used her acting ability to instigate and incite others to become puppets who worshipped an evil god.

The "actress" laughed, letting out a seductive laugh. She suddenly removed the hood of her black robe, revealing Xia Lani's stunningly beautiful face. At the same time, her figure rapidly changed, becoming shorter and more voluptuous, transforming into Xia Lani's original appearance.

When Ms. B saw Xia Lani's true face, she was stunned. She never expected that the famous actress in Tingen City would impersonate her and launch an attack on her!

Reeves was also stunned:

"Strange, why would Xia Lani deliberately reveal her identity to Ms. B? This puts her in a passive position. Why would she do that..."

Suddenly, Reeves realized something was wrong.

Sharani tracked him down, likely because of the activated statue inside him. That statue previously belonged to Evelyn, so Evelyn is very likely present now.

The reason Xia Lani revealed her identity was to attract our attention!

Chapter 60 The Night Watch

"Watch out for a sneak attack!"

Levi reminded Ms. B as briefly as possible that the more he spoke, the more likely he was to be punished by the Notary Book.

Just then, a spurt of foul-smelling blood suddenly erupted from the shadows in the corner, lunging at Ms. B like a venomous snake.

Ms. B was caught off guard and was instantly covered in a foul-smelling pool of blood. The blood corroded her clothes and seeped into her flesh, making a sizzling sound.

The shadows shifted, and Evelyn slowly emerged from them, a cruel smile playing on her cold face as she reveled in Ms. B's agonizing screams.

However, Ms. B's body, corroded by the tainted blood, suddenly disintegrated, turning into countless points of light and disappearing without a trace.

The next second, her true form suddenly appeared beside Evelyn—where an inconspicuous, ordinary mirror had quietly been erected.

The moment she appeared, Ms. B's palm was already filled with chilling frost. With a flick of her wrist, a burst of frigid air erupted, and a large swath of frost instantly swept out, freezing Evelyn firmly in place, unable to move.

Xia Lani's expression turned cold, and a small female statue appeared in her palm. She chanted obscure words in a low voice, and a huge power fluctuated around her. The sky seemed to darken, as if a storm was about to break.

Levi dared not be careless. Although Sharani was only a Sequence 7 actress and her direct combat ability was probably not as good as Ms. B's, if she prayed for power from the evil god, she could become any kind of terrifying monster.

He plunged the tip of the knife into his skin, drawing blood to smear on the mirror. Ms. B, equally prepared, unleashed several small mirrors that flew out from her body, disappearing into different corners of the room. Simultaneously, sharp black flames ignited at her fingertips.

Just as things were about to escalate, Ms. B and Xia Lani stopped what they were doing and looked out at the street in the distance.

That's the direction of Zotland Street.

Reeve paused for a moment, then stopped smearing blood and waited to see what would happen.

The next moment, Sharani revealed a resentful expression and said with a cold smile:

"Now is not the time."

She flashed to Evelyn's side, who was frozen solid, and with a flick of her robes, she led her into the alley.

Ms. B grabbed Reeves' hand and pulled her quickly into the shadows to escape.

A few minutes later.

Two figures dressed in black trench coats appeared on the battlefield.

The older man had deep-set eyes and wore a top hat that concealed his thinning hair. If Revy had been there, he would have been surprised to find that the man's hair volume matched that of Dunn Smith as described by Ms. Daly.
