Mystery: The Witch of Desire

Hugh pointed to the blackboard in the corner of the basement:

“We’re lucky. Someone left a message there saying they’d be trading Soul Eater’s Stomach here at 3 p.m. We’re waiting for the trade, and there are still 15 minutes until 3 p.m.

Fors then pulled out an exquisite container:

"We also spent £140 to buy a Mystic Sequence 9 Extraordinary trait, which is a very good price. We hope to sell it for more than £150 and make at least a £10 profit!"

The Mystic... This seems to be a channel under the Aurora Society. The Aurora Society claims responsibility for the sacrifice incident in Tingen. This organization may be related to the Rose School. Why would this Mystic attribute end up on the market...?

Livre fell into deep thought upon hearing this, while Hugh, standing beside her, said with a hint of reproach:

"Fors, you were too impulsive. After buying the extraordinary trait, we only have a little over 150 pounds left. That amount might not be enough to buy the Soul Eater's stomach!"

Fors, however, said nonchalantly:

"First, the comments others leave on the board may not be entirely credible, but the extraordinary characteristics of this mysterious person can definitely allow us to make a profit from the price difference."

"Secondly, even if we don't have enough money, we can use this extraordinary feature to offset the price."

"third……"

Fors gave a sly smile, stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Livr's, and nestled affectionately in her embrace:

“Our Miss Marilyn has arrived. If we don’t have enough money, Miss Marilyn will lend us some.”

Hugh paused, then said with a hint of bitterness:

"You can't always rely on Miss Marilyn..."

Livr smiled slightly:

“It’s alright. Now that I’m here, I’ll naturally help you get this main material. Hmm, you can give me the extraordinary characteristics of the Secret Prayer Person first. I have a special container here to preserve spiritual items, which can reduce the possibility of extraordinary characteristics merging with surrounding items.”

"Thank you, Miss Marilyn! I knew you were the best!"

Fors confidently entrusted the extraordinary characteristics of the Mystic to Livia, completely unaware of Xiu's puffed-up cheeks beside him.

After a while, the clock struck three. A man dressed in a black robe approached the trading board. He was about 1.7 meters tall and his body was completely covered up, except for a pair of sharp, hawk-like eyes. As soon as his eyes met Fors's, he was taken aback when he saw that there were three people on her side.

Seeing this, Fors stepped forward and asked:

"Sir, was it you who left a message on the trading board to sell the stomach of a Soul Eater?"

The man in black hesitated for a moment, then nodded and asked:

"Which of you three needs the stomach of a Soul Eater?"

With her keen emotional perception, Livre sensed that something was wrong with the man in black, so she stepped forward and said:

"It's what I need."

Seeing this, Fors didn't understand what Livre was trying to do, but she didn't expose her and tacitly remained silent.

The man in black glanced at Livia and said:

"Alright, I've put the Soul Eater's stomach elsewhere. Come with me to get it."

Livr raised an eyebrow:

"You didn't bring it with you?"

The man in black sneered:

“How could I possibly carry something worth 300 pounds with me? I put it in a safe place, and it has to be cash on delivery.”

"300 pounds? That's a bit too expensive! 200 pounds would be more reasonable!"

Upon hearing the man in black's offer, Fors immediately began to negotiate a lower price.

“290 pounds…”

After some haggling, the price was settled at £255.

"Only one person can come with me to the transaction; otherwise, I won't feel at ease if all three of you go together!"

Fors was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this:

"Are you worried that the three of us ladies will harm you?"

The man in black snorted coldly:

"Women are more ruthless than venomous snakes."

The three ladies fell silent for a moment, and after a long while, Livre spoke:

Is the trading location far away?

The man in black said without hesitation:

"Not far, just a port in the dock area."

She nodded slightly:

“Alright, I’ll go with you to make the deal. Fors, Hugh, give me your money first, and I’ll cover the rest.”

"I am very grateful, Miss Marilyn."

Fors excitedly scraped together £150 with Hugh and handed it to Monroe. Now, the two women only had some loose change left. Fors was heavily in debt, owing Hugh £70 and Livre £105. She could only hope that the Mysterious Man's extraordinary properties would fetch a good price.

The two women waited briefly in the underground market, while Livre followed the man in black to the port in the dock area for the transaction.

After walking through several streets and passing through piles of broken wooden crates, the surrounding scenery gradually became desolate.

Finally, the man in black stopped in front of a secluded port.

As the sun began to set, fog rolled in around the harbor, and the sea breeze carried a salty, rotten smell.

The rows of cargo containers, stacked haphazardly, obscured the surrounding view, while the secluded corner of the dock was sparsely populated, making it an ideal place for clandestine transactions and an excellent spot for setting up an ambush.

The man in black turned to look behind Livre, and after confirming that she was the only one with him, a sinister smirk appeared on his lips:

“Miss, I didn’t want you to lose your life at such a young age, but we do need an apprentice’s extraordinary qualities to create magical items.”

Before the words were finished, four or five burly men dressed in different styles quietly emerged from the shadows. They were all imposing, with one hand reaching into their bulging waists, their fingertips clearly already on the trigger.

The group quickly formed a triangle and surrounded Livr, completely blocking her escape route.

The man in black walked up to his accomplice and said in a lecturing tone:

“Miss, extraordinary individuals like apprentices, who have little combat ability and whose skills are easily coveted, must always be careful. I hope you will be more mindful in your next life.”

As he spoke, he raised the gun in his hand and aimed it at Livr.

Liviel's eyes remained calm as she said:

"So, do you actually have the stomach of a Soul Eater?"

Then, she sighed again:

"Never mind, let your corpse answer."

Before she finished speaking, she vanished from her spot. The man in black was stunned for a moment, then cried out in fear:

"Fire! Fire now!"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Several bullets shot toward the spot where Livia's figure disappeared, but they struck a shimmering, transparent spiderweb and fell limply through the air.

The man in black was stunned. Before he could react, he heard his companion scream. He quickly turned his head and was horrified to find that the heads of the two gunmen had been separated from their bodies and were flying in the air. Blood gushed from their severed necks, more than a foot high!

Chapter 133 Extraordinary Pets

The man in black was startled. He immediately realized that he had messed with someone he shouldn't have. He quickly abandoned his companion and slipped into the pile of wooden crates next to the dock, hoping to escape under their cover.

Seconds later, several more screams rang out behind him, then the gunfire abruptly ceased, and all fell silent. The man in black was drenched in sweat; in just a few seconds, his armed companions had been wiped out. Could this woman be a mid-tier Extraordinary?

At that moment, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared, blocking his way. She looked him up and down with a smile in her eyes; it was none other than Livril.

The man in black trembled, then knelt down, wailing devoutly:

"Miss, no, madam, please forgive me! I will definitely repent for my sins!"

Liviel, displaying the extraordinary characteristics of the Mystic People, laughed:

"You sold those two ladies this extraordinary property of the Secret Prayer, didn't you?"

The man in black was taken aback, then stammered:

"Yes, I was just thinking that if I could kill her afterwards, I could get this extraordinary property back, which would be equivalent to getting 140 pounds for free..."

"You really have a good business sense..."

Liviel wanted to mock the man in black, but before she could finish speaking, she felt a chill emanating from the large cargo container behind her.

She was momentarily distracted as she tried to check the cargo box behind her when the man in black in front of her suddenly sprang to his feet, his face contorted with a crazed expression, and pulled out a pistol, firing several shots at Livr.

Liviel calmly dodged, gathering a ball of frost in her palm, which transformed into a spear and shot out, instantly piercing the black-clad man's chest and taking his life.

However, the cargo box behind her was shot, splintering wood and revealing several large holes. The next second, a large number of black venomous snakes suddenly sprang out of the cargo box and swarmed towards Livre like a malignant tumor, immediately wrapping around her smooth skin.

The scaly snakes pressed against her body, the icy touch spreading through her skin. Liviel felt a chill, and instantly black flames erupted around her, burning most of the venomous snakes. However, a few snakes still opened their mouths and bit her, and a numbing sensation instantly spread from the wounds.

Liviel quickly put on the Bloodthirsty Gloves. With the extraordinary body and the self-healing ability of the Bloodthirsty Gloves, the toxins had no effect on her. She continued to activate the black flames and wiped out the snakes. Only a few escaped through the gaps in the cargo box.

"How come there are so many venomous snakes in this cargo box... Is it smuggled?"

Liviel felt something was off. At this moment, the extraordinary characteristics of the man in black had been released. She walked over and picked up the green extraordinary characteristics with her ungloved hand, wanting to quickly put it into an isolation container to prevent fusion.

However, at that moment, she suddenly felt a rustling sound under her skirt, followed by a chill between her legs!

Livre was startled and quickly reached under her skirt with her gloved hand, pulling out a small white snake about a foot long and two fingers thick!

Liviel held the small white snake in one hand and the Extraordinary Ability in the other. Before she could make a move, she suddenly felt the small white snake in the Bloodthirsty Gloves undergo some kind of change, becoming more sentient. The snake also made a soft hissing sound, as if it wanted to talk to her. At the same time, its body arched and then suddenly sprang towards the Extraordinary Ability that Liviel was holding in her other hand.

Liviel then remembered that the main purpose of the Bloodthirsty Gloves was to tame creatures. Because she had been using it for other things for the past few months, Liviel had forgotten that it was actually a legitimate magical item!

Watching the small white snake pounce on the green extraordinary property, Liviel hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not stop the snake, letting it swallow the green extraordinary property.

The next second, the white snake's body convulsed violently, its snow-white scales shimmering with a faint green light, and a weak spiritual fluctuation swirled around it. It curled up painfully in Livre's palm, emitting hissing sounds… Suddenly, those hissing sounds transformed into a childish voice:

"It hurts! It hurts so much! My head hurts so much!"

Liviel was startled and quickly picked up the small white snake, holding it up to her face. She examined it closely before asking incredulously:

"Can you speak human language?"

The small white snake twitched for a while, breathing slowly like a human. After a long time, it finally spoke with some resentment:

"Human! What did you feed me? Why are there strange noises calling in my ears? God, my head is about to explode!"

You're the one who wanted to eat it... We'll have to ask to find out its specific properties.

Liviel muttered a few words to herself, looked at the fallen corpse of the man in black, took out a mirror, and used it to communicate with him.

In an instant, a chilling aura enveloped the surroundings. The little white snake was startled, its scales standing on end, and it immediately tried to burrow into Livr's skirt to hide.

Livr blushed, quickly grabbed the little snake, and scolded it:

"That's not a place for you to hide. You'd better stay put in my hands!"

The little snake's black eyes, the size of peas, blinked rapidly, giving it a pitiful look, almost like a human's.

"Human, your shouts are as loud as a wild boar's. Please don't yell at me, it's too much for my ears."

Wild boar... that's such a rude way to describe a beautiful lady! Wait, I'm a man, never mind...

Livre didn't want to argue with a snake, so she turned her gaze to the spirit of the man in black:

"What is your name, and which sequence of Extraordinary are you?"

The man in black replied blankly:

“Marcus Reilly, the Listener…”

The Listener, Sequence 8 of the Mystic Path! A member of the Aurora Society? No wonder that little snake heard strange sounds…

Livre continued to ask:

"Marcus Reilly, are you a member of the Aurora Society?"

The man in black nodded:

"Yes……"

"What use would you have for an apprentice's extraordinary qualities?"

Marcus answered tremblingly:

“Lanus asked me to prepare this; it is an essential item to show my loyalty to my lord.”
