Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

#179 - Odysseus, the cure for difficult and complicated diseases

Arriving at Darren's house, the one who opened the door was a woman wearing gloves and a hood, even with gauze covering her eyes.

Darren said happily, "Haina, the wizard is here."

Haina seemed a little nervous: "Wi… Wizard sir."

Odis said, "Let me see what's going on."

Haina was obviously hesitant, but Darren said, "Have you forgotten about the Mark family's child? It was this wizard who helped cure his strange illness."

Encouraged by her husband, Haina took off her hood.

Odis, who had seen many strange things, was also stunned by the scene before him.

Before him appeared a skull, without muscles, without skin, nothing at all, only white bones, with two hollows where the eyes should be, and a row of white teeth in place of a mouth.

Darren, standing beside her, took a deep breath, trying to hide his unease: "Gods above, she doesn't even have muscles anymore."

Odis paused for a second or two before remembering to activate "Eyes of Revelation."

What he found strange was that Haina's spirit body was completely normal. At this moment, apart from some fear and anxiety, she had no other special emotions.

Moreover, judging from the various orbs of light, she was still relatively healthy.

There were even some rays of light flashing above her head, proving that she would have good luck recently.

Closing "Eyes of Revelation," Odis sighed inwardly: This is a bit strange.

Generally speaking, when a person undergoes such a drastic change, it is either due to some kind of curse or some kind of extraordinary pollution.

In either case, "Eyes of Revelation" can find some clues.

Odis thought for a moment and asked, "Let's talk about the customer you received three days ago.

"There were two people in total, right? A lady and a personal maid?"

The skull in front of him nodded slightly: "Yes."

Odis asked, "Were there any special features about their clothes and accessories?"

Haina thought for a moment and said, "The lady was wearing a uniquely shaped ring inlaid with a sapphire on her hand.

"I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the ring seemed to glow."

Odis gently pinched his forehead. It sounded like the problem was with the ring.

However, he still needed to find out what type of ability the other party used before taking the next step.

Otherwise, if he acted rashly, it would be difficult to determine what kind of measures to take to restore Haina.

Odis took a deep breath. Now he could only use the "elimination method." He first took out a glass bottle with a yellow lid and a piece of paper, pouring a little golden powder onto the paper.

Then Odis said, "Take off your gloves and touch these powders."

Haina obediently took off her gloves, and Odis saw a hand with a complete skeleton, or rather, a hand that was only a skeleton.

The fingers of this hand gently bent and touched the golden powder.

Odis "mm"ed: "Okay."

This proved that the other party was not an undead creature, otherwise, as soon as they touched these powders, they would have a very painful reaction.

Odis poured away the golden powder on the paper, poured some transparent powder on it, and asked Haina to touch it again.

There was no reaction either, which meant that she didn't have some kind of strange disease.

After trying seven kinds of powders in a row, Haina didn't have any violent reactions.

Just when Darren and his wife were about to despair, Odis noticed something. He reached out his hand and said, "Touch my palm with your finger."

Haina was slightly stunned, but still did as she was told.

Odis didn't feel any bone hardness at all, and felt completely like a normal hand was touching him.

Moreover, when the bones of that hand were still a little distance away from Odis's palm, Odis felt the touch.

This made Odis suddenly smile and say, "I was caught in a misunderstanding from the beginning."

The above findings proved that Haina's muscles and skin were still there, but they just couldn't be seen.

It wasn't that the muscles and skin had completely disappeared for some reason.

Odis sat down on the chair and said to Darren and his wife, "I have found some clues. Don't disturb me. Let me think for a while."

Darren and his wife were a little surprised, standing there without daring to move.

While thinking, Odis slowly took out his pipe, filled it with tobacco, rubbed it with his thumb and index finger, creating a little flame, and lit the pipe.

Darren and his wife looked at each other, but at this time they couldn't see any expression on Haina's face. Only Darren first showed a surprised expression, but soon he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he saw hope from this "witchcraft" item.

Odis had only been thinking for a few minutes, and the pipe was not finished yet, when a six or seven-year-old girl poked her head in and opened the door.

Darren quickly said, "Annie, come here quickly, don't disturb the wizard's thinking."

Haina hurriedly hid in the inner room to put on her gloves and hood.

The little girl curiously looked at the wizard sitting in the chair, and carefully came to her father's side, whispering, "I met Pastor Tony."

Darren immediately became a little nervous: "You… you didn't say anything you shouldn't have, did you?"

"No… no."

Odis reached out, extinguished the tobacco in the pipe, looked at the little girl and smiled: "But you still revealed your mother's special condition, didn't you?"

The little girl nodded in surprise.

Darren was stunned for a moment, then quickly squatted down and asked, "What did you say?"

"Pastor Tony asked me, why didn't we go to church on Sunday?" The little girl said, "I said my mother was sick and couldn't go."

Darren nodded, this was what he taught his daughter to say.

The little girl Annie added: "Pastor Tony asked me what kind of illness she had? I said I didn't know either.

"He asked me if it was a cough or if something hurt? I said I felt uncomfortable all over…"

The subsequent questions and answers were increasingly beyond Annie's "answering range." Finally, after Pastor Tony received the reply that "the skin all over her body has become a little transparent," he immediately returned to the church.

Darren got up and went to the window. Seeing that the people from the church had not yet arrived, he asked Odis: "Wizard sir? What should we do now?"

"Don't worry."

Odis asked back: "What is your family's faith?"

"The Goddess of the Night."

Odis nodded: "The next action requires the help of the church. It's just as well if they come."

Then he added: "Let Haina come out again, I still have some questions to ask her."

Haina had already put on her gloves and hood.

Odis said, "Try to recall the details about that lady, such as whether she had anything to prove her identity? What were the characteristics of the carriage she was riding in? Or were there any other strange things?"

Haina thought for a moment and then said, "Um, after that lady left, I found a piece of paper on the ground."

"Bring it here quickly."

Odis said immediately.

"There was only an address on it."

Haina said helplessly: "I didn't think it was useful, so I threw it away."

Odis asked, "What was the address?"

"I… I forgot."

Haina didn't take it seriously at the time, she just glanced at it and threw it away.

Odis took out the spiritual materials and pen he carried with him, and quickly drew a magic circle on the ground, then said to Haina: "Stand here, put your feet in these two positions."

After Haina stood in the designated position, Odis took out a piece of paper and a pen, first laying the paper on the table.

Then Odis held the pen in one hand and extended his other hand to Haina: "Put your hand in my hand… Let the child go out first, take off your gloves, and put your real hand in my hand."

Darren told Annie to go out and play for a while. After the child left, Haina took off her gloves again, and her fingers touched Odis's palm.

Without error, one first, one hair, one inside, one content, one at, one see, one see!

Odis added: "Start recalling the appearance of that lady, and the scene when you picked up the note, don't have any distracting thoughts, recall it carefully."

Odis stepped on a symbol of the magic circle with his foot and injected spirituality into it, then he closed his eyes and carefully felt the overflow of Haina's thoughts.

The magic circle he drew just now was the "Mind Magic Circle" that the "Helmet of Wisdom" had used before, but it was his improved "Mind Magic Circle."

With the help of this magic circle, Odis could use "meditation" to use spirituality to access Haina's thoughts and obtain corresponding information.

Otherwise, he would have to use ritual magic to perform "spiritualism."

But Odis didn't want to ask any gods for power right now.

Time seemed to stand still, Haina was concentrating on recalling, Odis had one hand in contact with Haina, and one hand holding a pen, the two people stood and sat motionless.

Suddenly, Odis opened his eyes, and Darren was surprised to find that the wizard's eyes only had whites, but no pupils.

At the moment he opened his eyes, his hand holding the pen immediately moved, like a printer, drawing a clear portrait from top to bottom in a matter of seconds, and writing down information such as hair color and pupil color.

Finally, in the lower left corner of this paper, he also wrote an address: 172 Hayling Avenue.

Odis took a deep breath, closed his eyes again, and when he reopened them, his eyes had returned to normal: "Okay, that's it."

Haina stopped recalling, withdrew her hand, and put her gloves back on.

Only then did she see the portrait drawn by Odis: "Oh my god, it's this lady."

Darren flattered from the side: "The wizard's witchcraft is really amazing!"

Odis waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing.

He glanced at the portrait, which depicted a very beautiful woman. She had long, black hair and slender eyes. Her individual features weren't particularly outstanding, but together, they created a very sweet impression.

Having had the experience at the suburban castle, Audiss could tell with just a glance at her appearance that this woman was trouble.

This was a spiritual judgment. Anyone who had seen a "witch" would notice the difference between their appearance and that of a truly beautiful woman when they saw another "witch."

Audiss couldn't quite explain this difference. If he had to, it was that everything on their faces grew in a "beautiful direction," as if there wasn't a single flaw.

If someone with strong spirituality had seen a "witch" before, they would realize that this was somewhat unnatural.

The woman in front of him was like that. No matter who you showed this portrait to, everyone would say she was beautiful.

That was the problem, because very few people could appeal to everyone's aesthetic.

As for the address, Audiss frowned. It was on the same street as his "home"!

Fortunately, his home was in the middle section, while the address was at one end of the street.

With these clues, Audiss smiled and said, "Alright, let's wait a bit."

After the official Beyonders arrived, they would go and arrest the person.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Audiss saw from the window a carriage with the "Holy Emblem of the Night" coming. Three policemen got out.

One of them was an acquaintance: Captain Karl.

During the previous joint operation between "Mechanical Hearts" and the "Nighthawks," this "Nighthawk" team leader had been the liaison between the two official Beyonder organizations.

Audiss had once followed him and Captain Icons, together to the trap they had set for the "Rose School of Thought", and translated the text of the "Ancient Dragon Language."

Moreover, unbeknownst to Audiss, this Captain Karl had also helped Lulius hide important clues.

Soon, Captain Karl came to knock on the door. The Darren couple stood together, arm in arm, looking very nervous and unwilling to open the door.

Audiss unhurriedly got up and opened the door: "Hello, Captain Karl."

Captain Karl and the two team members remained vigilant. Karl asked, "You are?"

"You've forgotten? I once translated the 'Ancient Dragon Language' for you," Audiss immediately "introduced himself."

Karl looked blank.

Audiss was stunned: This guy wouldn't have forgotten, would he?

Thinking that "bad memory" was a "characteristic" of the "Sleepless," Audiss explained, "An informant from 'Mechanical Hearts.'"

Karl frowned: "When did you..."

...grow a beard?

Audiss smiled: "I'm conducting some investigations."

Karl didn't ask further, but looked at the Darren couple in the room.

He said, "According to usual practice, we are responsible for this case."

"Of course, I know," Audiss smiled. "But I've basically figured out what's going on, and I've also found the culprit's address. I don't think it's necessary to repeat the work."

But to Audiss's surprise, Karl said, "We'd better investigate ourselves."

This stunned Audiss. When he had met this "Nighthawk" captain before, he hadn't felt that he was a stubborn, unyielding person.

But since the other party had said so, Audiss had no choice but to step aside: "Please. Well, it's best not to scare them."

At the request of Karl and the others, Haina took off her hood again.

Seeing the skull in front of them, one of the team members almost drew his gun and fired a "Purification Bullet."

Audiss sat aside, quietly watching the "Nighthawk" team members' investigation.

He glanced again at the portrait on the table, and suddenly felt that something was not quite right: Captain Karl, who was not so difficult to get along with and knew that I was an informant for "Mechanical Hearts," why had his temperament suddenly changed, insisting on investigating himself? This woman…

At this time, Haina was answering the "Nighthawks"' questions, and was talking about the lady's characteristics, including the gemstone-encrusted ring.

Audiss suddenly strung these things together and came to a shocking answer!
