Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

Louise returned to 59 Egram Street alone.

She felt that the Red Rose Manor was a palace prepared for Triss, so what about her own "palace"?

Is it this historic villa in front of you?

No, it's this city, Backlund.

Louise looked up, her eyes were calm, with a little indifference and coldness, and then she walked into the house, and met the three "Seer" ladies who came to greet her.

Knowing that Louise might participate in an unfamiliar battle today, the maid and the others were worried. Katrin was about to ask if the trip was going well, but she was interrupted before she could speak.

"Return the ring to you."

Louise took off the "Faceless Man Ring" from her hand, threw it to Katrin, then passed her without saying a word, went straight to the third floor, and closed the bedroom door with a "bang". door.

"This is... what's wrong?" Rebecca obviously had never seen Louise in such a state, and was at a loss for a while.

Instead, the maid quickly showed a smile and explained:

"It's okay, Miss is just in a bad mood."

However, after Sophia comforted the two of them, she looked upstairs full of worry, because she knew that Louise must have encountered a very serious problem in this state.

…………

Back in the bedroom, Louise leaned against the door, thinking carefully for a long time, her expression fluctuating.

Then, with relatively heavy steps, she opened the secret compartment in the room and took out a wooden box. After opening, there were three familiar Tarot cards inside.

He closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, and when he opened them again, the expression in his pupils was full of tenacity.

She soon entered the dreamland and saw the dark towering spire again. However, Louise couldn't really go in this time, because no matter how she walked forward, she couldn't get close to the spire in the center.

Helpless, she stopped and said loudly:

"Why don't you see me?"

"I didn't get that ring, I got your wish, why don't you come to see me?"

Her questioning voice echoed in the desolate land, as if filled with anger.

After a long time, when there was no response, Louise sneered and stopped moving forward. Instead, she sat down cross-legged and said:

"Alright, since you don't want to see me, I'll wait here."

"I can't see the 'Goddess of the Night', and I can't contact Adam, but I can find your location. If you don't see me, then I will find your 'restart' parents' home..."

Finally, another voice appeared on this land. After a deep sigh, Will Auceptin could only hear the voice, but not the person:

"Hey, disrespect to high-ranking people will be sacrificed alive."

"Then you kill me." Louise responded immediately, like a copper pea that cannot be steamed or broken.

Will Auceptin's voice couldn't help but stagnate, and he said helplessly:

"What does it matter to me that you failed to get the ring yourself?"

Louise remained unmoved, sat cross-legged on the spot, raised her head and said:

"Whether it matters or not, you know."

After stubbornly saying this, she got up and asked with almost hatred:

"Why? Why do you have to stop me?"

"Do I have to follow the route you expected, otherwise someone will appear immediately to correct my choice?"

"Goddess of the Night, Adam, and you, Angel of Destiny, no matter what you want me to do, if it must be done in this way, then you can change."

For a long time, Will Auceptin did not respond.

After Louise said these words, she felt much happier in her heart, and she simply continued to say:

"Since the first day I came to Backlund, you, the angel of fate, took the initiative to find me. After that, most of the things I experienced should be on the 'trajectory' that you all agree with. ?”

"Until, because of a coincidence, some strange memories and pictures appeared in my mind. As you said before, there were some problems with my mental state."

"So, Adam, the 'Angel of Imagination', appeared and invited me to join the 'Twilight Hermit Society'. Interestingly, since I met Adam that time, although I don't know what I have experienced, my mental state can be seen by naked eyes. Visibly improved."

"What are you worried about? What exactly do you want me to do?"

Louise paused for a moment, looked at the steeple in the distance, and said loudly as if making a final announcement:

"I need the truth, and I need freedom. If you only want a puppet, I will say the same thing, you can change people."

The presence of time here is not obvious. After an unknown amount of time, Will Auceptin's slightly hesitant voice came again:

"Just because I don't want you in Chick's sight?"

Louise shook her head and said:

"'Original Witch' Chick will be bad for me. This is the concept you have instilled in me, and I am willing to believe it. You may not let me get that ring, maybe it is really for my safety. But I've had enough of feeling manipulated."

"I am Louise, and I will only be Louise." She said firmly.

Will Auceptin let out a long "oh", and then said out loud:

"You know that I won't do anything to you, and you also know that you may be important, so you want to threaten me with this in order to get some truth."

"You have quite a lot of doubts about what we have done, so you deliberately plan to get that ring, and even came to ask me for my opinion before acting. You are testing."

"Because you know very well that getting Chick's care is not a good thing, and it may bring you unpredictable consequences, so you are betting, betting your life."

Louise's face panicked for a moment, but she immediately regained her composure, and she said:

"You admit it, 'you'."

"Yes." Will Auceptin's voice sounded across the endless desolate land: "Is this the answer you want?"

Louise resolutely denied: "Of course not, this is the answer I guessed a long time ago."

"I want to know who I am? Why am I here? What is my destiny?"

"You're an angel of fate, isn't this difficult for you?" Maybe it's about to gain something, so Louise even had the mood to make a little joke.

However, Will Auceptin chuckled, but suddenly changed the topic, his tone suddenly became indifferent, and said aloud:

"You think you can threaten me, you think I won't take your life, why? Do you think you are that important?"

"Since you think of yourself as a chess piece, do you think the chess piece can affect the player's thinking?"

Louise couldn't help making a swallowing movement, and she insisted on opening her mouth to respond:

"so?"

After the frozen silence, Will Auceptin said aloud:

"Go, someone will tell you the truth. This is the path you chose. I hope you won't regret it."

Then, before Louise could speak, she was immediately kicked out of the dream.

After a long time, a deep sigh appeared on this desolate land, spreading from the pitch-black spire in the center towards the surroundings, as if it would reach the end of the world without boundaries.
