Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

Chapter 17

At No. 14 Storn Street, the servants who fell into a dream did not know that their Lord Baron was an assassin who punished evil and promoted good in the dark.

This is the reason why Hunter the "Provocateur" was left in the Rose Manor, otherwise it would be difficult for my behavior to hide from the hunter's senses... Joyce jumped up lightly, followed the unevenness of the wall, and returned to the third place smoothly. upstairs bedroom.

How does it feel a bit like that bat? No, at least I don't wear a mask and cape, and kill...

He sorted out the loot on his body, leaving only the eyeball-shaped mystical item, which can be basically confirmed to be a spectator channel's mystical item.

During the battle just now, Joyce only had a slight emotional fluctuation, but was caught by Crowe, causing him to become frantic, and he almost died before the battle.

This is different from the emotional manipulation of "Apostle of Desire". The audience can only expand their emotions and make the enemy lose their ability to resist, and cannot directly kill them.

Not sure what its negative effects are? Looking at the golden pupil in front of him, Joyce felt more and more precious about it, and held it in his hand involuntarily.

Under the guidance of spirituality, Joyce figured out the function of the pupil, which is the legacy of a "psychologist", with the ability to shock, frenzy and psychological suggestion.

I don't know how Crowe got it. Maybe he was really lucky... But now it's mine, Joyce thought happily, seeing that it was getting late, he took off his clothes and went to sleep.

However, he still held the golden pupil in his hand.

…………

The next morning, Sophia got up early and finished some chores. When it was time for breakfast, she found that Mr. Baron hadn't shown up yet.

After Harry, the housekeeper's assistant, came to inquire once, she went to knock on the door of the master bedroom, but no one answered.

"Monsieur Baron, are you there?"

She raised her voice and shouted twice, but there was still no movement in the room, and she panicked a little.

Opening the door regardless of her identity, she saw Joyce lying on the bed with unpredictable expressions, sometimes frowning, and sometimes showing a strange smile...

Boldly walked to the bedside, stretched out her hand to test his breath, and felt a steady breath, Sophia breathed a sigh of relief.

She tried to wake up Joyce, but failed. When she was going to turn to find Mr. Harry, she accidentally found a golden pupil in Mr. Baron's hand.

At first, she was taken aback, but in the next second, Sophia was immediately attracted by the pupils that should have felt terrifying, as if they were some kind of rare treasure, and she involuntarily snatched them from Mr. Baron's hands.

What Joyce saw after waking up was this: the maid held her golden pupils in her hands, with a pale golden light shining in her eyes, and she was chanting something like a pilgrimage.

"Give me that thing." Joyce said in a deep voice.

Unexpectedly, the maid changed her usual obedient attitude, quickly put her hands behind her back, and said stubbornly:

"No."

Joyce was startled for a moment, and then helplessly covered his face with his hands. He knew that this was not the maid's original intention, but was just affected by the negative effect of that magical item.

The golden pupil does not have the characteristics of being alive, but its negative effect can be called a bad personality.

When you look at it, you will be attracted by it unconsciously, as if subconsciously wanting to keep it by your side as if receiving a psychological suggestion, and it will also read your mind, inducing you to reveal the thoughts that are usually buried in your heart , It can be called "the eye of social death".

Joyce was like this last night. After losing his vigilance, he was tempted by it and read his mind. But he was also blessed by misfortune, and he clearly recalled the plot of the original book he had read in his previous life, including the potion formula he had been thinking about.

If only this is the case, it is a pity that it has more serious side effects.

Everyone has some ulterior and evil thoughts in their hearts. What it can do is to slowly turn those hidden evil thoughts into reality, and gradually make you think that it is a normal behavior, just like Crowe's pathological behavior. Likes and forces boys and girls, and has no remorse.

To put it simply, if you use this magical item for a long time, you will lose the chance to be a good person without knowing it.

"Be careful of the audience" is true!

Seeing the maid staring wide-eyed, as if swearing to die, Joyce no longer had any expectations, so he had to snatch the "Eye of Social Death" by himself.

After all, the arm couldn't hold the thigh, and the maid quickly lost her "baby". At the same time, recalling the social death behavior just now, her face flushed suddenly, and she covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming loudly.

Joyce put away the "Eye of Social Death" and comforted him aloud:

"Okay, don't worry about it, I know that's not what you really think."

Hearing this, Sophia was even more embarrassed, but there were more curious questions lingering in her mind,

"What is that...eye...?"

Joyce sighed, this situation was beyond his expectation, but he had to admit the fact before him, in a sense, Sophia saved himself, although even without her, he would Waking up to other stimuli...

Thinking of the end, he made up his mind, and instead of answering directly, he asked rhetorically:

"Do you know Extraordinary?"

Sophia tilted her head and thought for a moment, then tentatively said:

"Those people with magical abilities in the legends?"

"That's right." Joyce nodded: "Extraordinary people are a group of people who have acquired magical abilities for different reasons. They hide among ordinary people and practice their own lives on the other side of the world."

"Monsieur Baron, are you also...?"

"Yes, I am a Extraordinary." Before the maid could finish speaking, Joyce asked instead:

"What are you doing in my room?"

Sophia reacted and said hastily:

"It's already breakfast time, you haven't shown up yet, Mr. Harry asked me to come and have a look, and then..."

It's almost the same as my guess... Joyce continued to ask:

"In other words, Harry may come over at any time and ask what happened?"

"Should, yes." Sophia's voice was a little weak.

"Well, you go and tell Harry that I just overslept." Joyce walked up to her shoulder and said softly:

"If you have any questions, come to the study after breakfast, and I will try my best to satisfy your curiosity."

"Yes, Monsieur Baron."

Sophia bowed slightly, and habitually accepted this solution.

Everything seemed to be peaceful, and the servants brought the prepared food, and no one noticed this little anomaly.

It's not a big deal for Mr. Baron to sleep late... I believe everyone thinks so, even Mr. Harry. Only I know the real reason.

The sumptuous breakfast tasted like chewing wax in her mouth, and Sophia looked at Joyce who seemed to be doing nothing, and her thoughts kept rising like bubbles in boiling water.

Mr. Baron is an Extraordinary, I don’t know what kind of magical ability he possesses, whether he can fly...Is this the reason for Mr. Baron’s abnormal behavior these days, as he said, to survive on the other side of the world...Sounds good cool……

After finally getting through the busy time, Sophia walked to the door of the study with coffee, suddenly a little timid, and then, she mustered up the courage and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Sophia put the coffee on the desk and found that Mr. Baron was writing a letter. Soon, he put the letter paper and a key into an empty envelope, and told himself:

"Go get Harry over here."

Ah... Isn't it about Extraordinary people? Why are you calling Mr. Harry... Sophia, who was full of doubts, didn't react for a while.

Joyce sealed the envelope with red paint, and smiled when he saw it:

"Why, I just discovered my little secret, and I started to disobey orders!"

"Not at all."

Sophia blushed pretty, and quickly called Mr. Harry.

Joyce took a sip of his coffee and said to Harry:

"Remember the local policeman named Dean, can you find him?"

"Yes." Harry's answer was concise and to the point. He had already found out about Dean through other channels.

"Very good." Joyce took out the envelope:

"Give this to him, and send someone to deliver it now."

"Okay, Mr. Baron." Harry accepted the envelope and exited the study.
