Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery
#193 - The Killer
Audis smiled and said, "Now that we've started such an 'honest' conversation, can you answer a few questions I have before you leave me here forever?"
Fei Qi sneered, "Don't think about stalling for time. You can find the answers to your questions in the underworld."
As he spoke, he raised his hands slightly, seemingly understanding the principle that "villains tend to talk too much."
Seeing the other party's calmness, Audis also prepared to take action.
"Uncle!" Dylan suddenly said, "Is all of this true? Did you really let my sister die from the curse?"
Fei Qi said coldly, "If she didn't die, I would have died.
"If I die, she would die too.
"So it's better for her to die first, buying me three years of time.
"When you are also deprived of your life by the curse, my child will be ten years old and can block the curse for me."
Dylan's eyes were full of disappointment: "I always knew you didn't like me and my sister, but you don't hate us that much, do you?
"Why treat us like this?"
Fei Qi spread his hands: "This world is originally so dark, so cruel..."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Audis suddenly sprinkled two handfuls of golden powder, which instantly spread throughout the room, emitting a pure light.
The sunlight was like the most scorching summer sun shining into the room.
"Ah ~" Fei Qi, seeing such intense sunlight, screamed and scrambled behind the sofa.
However, the ubiquitous sunlight still shone on him, causing him to cover his head with his hands, hiding behind the sofa and trembling, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Audis knew that his judgment was correct. This Mr. Fei Qi in front of him was a Beyonder of the "Criminal" pathway, that is, the "Demon" pathway.
From Dylan's previous description, Audis noticed that the servant who approached the figure was ignited by pale blue flames, and he guessed that this incident might be related to "Demons."
Because pale blue flames with the smell of sulfur are a characteristic of the flames summoned by "Demons."
So, when Audis used the fireplace, he also quietly sprinkled powder to test Fei Qi.
It was a colorless and odorless powder. If the target's level was higher than his own, Audis's hand sprinkling the powder would feel a burning pain.
This is one of the "witchcrafts" invented by Audis. In his opinion, this simple "witchcraft" is very practical and can test the opponent's reality without being easily detected.
Because Audis didn't feel any pain when he sprinkled the powder, he judged that Fei Qi should be a Sequence 7 "Serial Killer."
Compared to the Sequence 6 "Demon" with many offensive abilities, Beyonders of this Sequence have fewer extraordinary attacks, or rather, Beyonders of this pathway only undergo qualitative changes at Sequence 6. At this time, Fei Qi is better at ritual magic and physical attacks.
That's why Audis started to expose the other party's secrets. Unfortunately, the other party was too calm and didn't provoke him at all, nor did he show any flustered reaction.
This is also one of the manifestations of a "Serial Killer", extremely high psychological quality!
If Audis had tested that the other party's Sequence was higher than his own, it would have been a short and pleasant visit. After leaving, Audis would immediately go to a nearby town to report to "Mechanical Heart" via telegram.
Since he's just a Sequence 7, Audis is confident in defeating him. He plans to use the "Hand of Judgment" gloves to interrogate him and finally hand this guy over to the official Beyonders.
Beyonders of the "Criminal" pathway, even if they haven't reached the Sequence of "Demon", are very afraid of being "exposed" to sunlight because they have already extinguished their conscience and colluded with evil desires.
Therefore, Audis, who was prepared, used the first "witchcraft" to temporarily incapacitate the other party.
Then, Audis twisted the direction of the staff head, and the staff head was twisted off, revealing the grim white blade inside.
Audis had time these past few days, so he modified his wooden staff. A short sword was installed in the direction of the staff head. Removing the disguise turns the wooden staff into a spear.
There is also a mechanism at the bottom of the wooden staff, which can continuously fire two feather arrows, and within thirty meters, it is basically a hundred shots, a hundred hits.
At this time, Audis, holding the spear, quickly went around behind the sofa and stabbed Fei Qi hard in the lower back, and injected spirituality. For a time, electric sparks flashed on the wooden staff, causing Fei Qi to twitch all over.
Audis deliberately didn't stab a vital point, just to make the other party lose the ability to resist.
After all, he is a Sequence 7 Beyonder, and he won't die even if his internal organs are pierced.
At this time, the dazzling sunlight in the room faded, and after the electric sparks on the wooden staff disappeared, Fei Qi struggled and pulled the spear out of his body.
He lay on the ground and looked at Audis with hatred, suddenly raised his two arms, and his hands sank sharply.
Seeing that the other party was still resisting, Audis threw out another handful of powder. Just as he threw out the powder, he suddenly felt a huge force pulling him under his feet.
The feeling was as if the gravity of the ground suddenly became ten times stronger, so that Audis knelt on one knee on the ground, and then he felt that the pressure on his body was not so great.
And the powder he sprinkled quickly fell to the ground. During the falling process, the powder dissolved in the air, and finally turned into a lightning bolt near the ground, hitting Fei Qi.
Audis felt the pressure disappear immediately. He got up while pulling out the "space magic circle" sub-array from his pocket, and took out the "Hand of Judgment".
At this moment, Audis became very majestic. Under the huge pressure, Fei Qi, who was seriously injured, immediately dared not struggle.
Dylan and Paine, who didn't know what to do, also quickly lowered their heads, dared not look at Audis, and even had the urge to kneel down and salute Audis.
Audis injected spirituality into the "Hand of Judgment", as if he raised a 'spiritual whip' in front of Fei Qi's unprotected mental body: "How to solve the curse on Dylan?"
Fei Qi lay on the ground, unable to move. He spat out blood but smiled evilly: "It can't be solved anymore. Once you're targeted, it can't be solved anymore."
Audis frowned: "Why does your family have this curse?"
"Because we are a demon family." Fei Qi suddenly smiled: "This is a curse that has existed in the family for thousands of years. Once targeted by the curse, at least nine people in the family will die, and the remaining family members can be spared."
"Who gave you this curse?"
Fei Qi suddenly became a little eager: "This is not a curse, this is a gift."
He suddenly laughed: "Over there, yes, there is a secret room over there. The family notes inside record all of this.
"Feel the despair from this curse! It's a pity... it's a pity I... I can't see your desperate expressions."
As he spoke, the muscles all over his body trembled violently, and it seemed that there were poisonous snakes trying to drill out from under his skin.
After Fei Qi lost his composure and his emotions suddenly became intense, Audis secretly guarded against it.
As he expected, Fei Qi lost control because he was seriously injured, and Audis's interrogation put a huge mental pressure on him.
This made Audis realize that although the "Criminal" pathway seems very calm, and it seems that emotional fluctuations are difficult to influence them.
However, the psychological distortion and the deep-seated evil in their hearts make them also like the Beyonders of the "Prisoner" pathway. Once they suffer blows that exceed their tolerance range, they are prone to losing control.
Audis immediately threw out a handful of red powder. The powder instantly spread in the air, and with a "whoosh", a violent flame ignited around Fei Qi.
The enhanced version of "Fireball" ignited this "Serial Killer", and in the other party's roar and struggle, Fei Qi, who had just lost control, lay on the ground again and was burned alive.
Audis did not dare to be careless, and kept sprinkling the powder of "Fireball" until the other party was burned to the point where the bones were broken, and then he stopped.
Audis put away the "Hand of Judgment" and felt that he had lost a lot of hair again.
So he put on his hat hard to prevent his hair from falling here.
Without the pressure of the "Hand of Judgment", Dylan had the courage to question: "You, you killed Uncle Fei Qi."
"I just killed a perverted killer." Audis said lightly.
He stepped forward and rummaged through Fei Qi's remains, and finally found a small, jade-like thing in the shape of a kidney.
Audis was slightly stunned: A Sealed Artifact has actually formed.
But the shape of this Sealed Artifact is a bit indescribable. Fortunately, it is not big, otherwise, if you want to use this Sealed Artifact, you would have to hang a kidney to go out.
Audis took out the sub-array of the space magic circle again and put away the Sealed Artifact.
Then Audis said, "Let's go to the secret room he said to take a look."
Dylan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
Paine pulled the corner of his clothes and shook his head gently.
Dylan immediately understood his situation. This wizard's witchcraft was so powerful that the two of them were not opponents at all. If they angered the other party, they might be silenced.
And now they can't leave, they can only bite the bullet and follow him to check the secret room together.
Audis came to the wall that Fei Qi pointed to, re-installing the staff head of the staff, while looking for the mechanism on the wall.
Soon Audis discovered that the oil painting hanging on the wall should be moved frequently, and one corner of the frame looked like it had a patina because it was touched frequently.
But Audiss didn't reach out to touch the oil painting. Instead, he gestured for Dylan and Payne to hide to the side. Then, he used his wooden staff to lift the oil painting.
Whoosh!
As soon as the oil painting was lifted, a small hole was revealed beneath it, and a feather arrow with a bluish glow, clearly poisoned, shot out.
Audiss smiled and said, "Although Fitch hasn't been promoted to 'Demon' yet, he's already as vicious as one."
Dylan and Payne exchanged a glance. If they hadn't hidden to the side just now, one of the three of them would definitely have been shot.
This made Dylan show a disappointed expression again, obviously his Uncle Fitch wanted to use this trap to deal with this "Wizard", and didn't consider his life or death at all.
Audiss simply pried the oil painting off the wall, revealing the mechanism behind it.
They still hid to the side, and Audiss used the head of his wooden staff to trigger the mechanism again.
Click!
A door opened on the wall, revealing a dimly lit space.
Audiss cautiously waited for a while, and when there were no other traps, he held up his staff and came to the entrance of the secret room.
Inside were steps leading down, and a faint smell of blood could be smelled at the entrance.
Audiss took out the sub-array of the "Spatial Magic Array" again, put away his staff, and took out a shield: "I'll go to the bottom of the stairs first, and after I send you a signal, you can come down."
Dylan and Payne had no objections and immediately nodded.
Audiss held up the shield and cautiously went down, but there were still no traps on the stairs.
At the bottom of the stairs was a very large space. The architectural style here was very rough, with four rooms lined up side by side, without doors.
Audiss waved to Dylan and Payne, then took the lead to enter the underground space, and came to the entrance with the smell of blood. Inside, he indeed saw a dissected corpse.
The corpse's internal organs and leg muscles were missing. In addition, apart from the huge pain on the corpse's face, there was nothing else abnormal.
Dylan and Payne, who followed behind, felt a little nauseous when they saw this scene.
Audiss said to Dylan, "I hope Fitch hasn't treated you to a big meal."
Dylan seemed to understand what Audiss meant, and this time he really vomited.
Because he had not only eaten the big meal made by his Uncle Fitch, but also felt it was particularly delicious, and didn't taste what kind of meat it was.
Now Dylan understood what kind of meat it was. The ingredients for that big meal must have come from this secret room.
Audiss went to see the other rooms. There was also a small dungeon here, which should have imprisoned Fitch's "prey".
Going forward, some mystical symbols appeared on the corridor, and there were "Demon" symbols with goat heads and pentagrams as elements.
The third room was an altar, filled with all kinds of complex and strange symbols. There were also traces of dried blood on the altar, obviously Fitch often performed some rituals here.
And rituals related to "Demons" are often accompanied by bloody sacrifices.
The fourth room contained some books, notes, and scrolls. Audiss glanced through them briefly. These books were all about black magic, including rituals for pleasing "Demons", summoning "Demon Shadows", and offering sacrifices to the "Abyss", etc.
The scrolls were like copies of murals from some places. Some of the painting styles were very old, while others were from the early Fifth Epoch.
The figures in these scrolls included 'Demons' and 'Devils', all of which were explanatory diagrams of sacrifices and rituals.
The sacrificial objects were sometimes "High-Level Demons", sometimes angels of this path, and sometimes "Cosmic Dark Side", "Abyss", and "Demon King".
Although they were all murals, Audiss could also feel how bloody these sacrifices were. For example, the sacrifice to "High-Level Demons" required 49 fresh hearts.
Throwing these scrolls aside, Audiss looked at the notes.
Many of these notes had yellowed, and the dates were very old. Some notes even said that the original of this notebook had been damaged, and what was there now was a notebook that had been copied several times.
The earliest notes recorded dates that could be traced back to the Fourth Epoch.
Fitch's family is the Beliar family, one of the three "Demon Families".
In the Fourth Epoch, the Demon Families didn't have to hide in such dark corners. Many of them were ennobled as nobles of the empire and participated in the "War of the Four Emperors".
Whether it was the Solomon Empire, the Terrenstrist Empire, or the Tudor Empire, they all tried to win over the demons.
Until the end of the Fourth Epoch came, the "Demon King" seemed to suddenly disappear.
Sorry, this chapter is late.
