Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

Sophia found something was wrong with Mr. Baron today.

After he came back from the Rorsted Club, he locked himself in the study and did not allow anyone to disturb... Also, Mr. Baron went to bed very early today and looked very tired...

When I think about it, the change goes back to this Tuesday, when he was neurotic and made a mess of the room, making me wonder if he had a mania, but the next few days Mr. Baron Behaving normally...

Don't think too much, Sophia, do your job well... She wrapped herself in the warm quilt, patted her tender cheek, and slowly fell asleep.

The night was dark, the whole city was shrouded in a dim crimson moonlight, and the gas lights on the roadside flickered non-stop, as if to frighten the pedestrians walking at night.

Joyce was dressed in black, with a revolver on his waist, and on the other side he carried the "Oath-Breaking Blade" in the form of a dagger. He walked in the shadow of the night, as if he was returning home.

If it wasn't for keeping a low profile, he even wanted to put on a cloak.

He's going to Pritzker Street, Chloe's house to step on... Bah, what a step, not a thief... He plans to observe the terrain, and by the way confirm the authenticity of the survey results given by "Scale", after all, there is an old saying in the big food empire: Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy can help you win a hundred battles.

Although tonight was just a path-finding reconnaissance act, he was still cautiously arming himself.

The most exciting thing I did in my last life was just breaking into a haunted house. Now it has been upgraded directly to assassination. It was inevitable that Joyce, who was a little nervous, began to think outside the box. While walking in the shadows, he pondered the problems he discovered when making plans in the afternoon.

"The Witch" Emily said that Chloe once lived in Enmatt Street, and the investigation report obtained from "The Balance" also proved this, but now he has moved to Pritzker Street, why did he move?

Besides, Enmatt Street and Pritzker Street are not far apart... In addition, the very detailed report did not mention Emily, which made Joyce even more unable to understand the purpose of the "Witch"...

52 Pritzker Street... Found it, it's impossible for people with dark vision to get lost in the dark.

The house was dark and there was no light, which was in line with his own guess... Joyce thought of what was mentioned in the report, Crow had a morbid pursuit of girls and boys, and he had harmed many children in his pirate career, but he became more restrained after retirement. , generally spend money to solve the needs, and often do not return home at night.

It seems that my luck is good... Joyce said fortunately, still maintaining vigilance, looking into the house through the glass window, the living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom... no one was there.

He carefully opened the window, controlled not to make a sound, and with all his concentration he noticed a card fell from the crack of the window.

There is an agency! Is there an ambush?

This was Joyce's first reaction, but he immediately thought that there was no one in the room, so he kicked his toes hard, jumped up on the edge of the window, and reached out to grab the falling card.

On it is a figure dressed as a clown.

A ghost card in poker.

It's not a trap, it's just a means of early warning... Joyce breathed a sigh of relief, jumped lightly, and landed on the ground lightly, flipping the ghost card, and found nothing special... But if someone is careless, or Without darkvision, it's likely to be ignored, leaving a trail of someone coming.

He was quite cautious, but unfortunately he met me, a more conscientious "assassin"... Joyce observed the layout of the living room and analyzed where to hide.

The location of his planned assassination is in this living room. After all, no matter how cautious a person is usually, he will always relax his vigilance subconsciously when he returns home. That would be the best time to do it.

This is all useless knowledge I learned from reading novels in my previous life, but I didn't expect to use it now.

There is a gas light installed in the room, the switch is on the left side of the door... The lighting in the living room is not very good, the stairs can be hidden, but it is too far from the door, the railing at the boundary between the first floor and the second floor can bear its own weight, but Time cannot last.

Carrying out a scene simulation in his head, Joyce felt that the plan worked, but when he was about to leave, he keenly heard unreal footsteps coming from outside the door.

Looking out from the crack of the door, a middle-aged man with silver-framed glasses was walking towards him, it was Crow.

At this time, there are two paths in front of Joyce. The safest option is to leave immediately. Even if Crow finds out, he will most likely be able to escape successfully in the dark, but the subsequent assassination will be more difficult.

The other way is to break when it breaks, and start now, but Crow didn't spend the night outside the norm, maybe he found something?

After a brief hesitation, Joyce made a decision.

……

Chloe is a "clown".

His past has been clearly described in the "Scale" investigation report.

The difference is that he has survived until now, not by luck, but by divination and prudence.

After discovering that he was famous, he resolutely chose to quit the pirate industry and use a magical item to get rid of the tracking.

After retiring, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com relying on the wealth he had accumulated from his pirate career, he lived well in Bayam until he was forced to join a secret organization: the Witch Cult.

He got the hope of promotion, but he also lost his freedom... If he hadn't known that someone in the organization could curse from a distance, Crow would have already run away... Even a pirate wouldn't be unaware of the fate of believing in an evil god.

Today, as usual, he passed on the news he had received and went to the "Red Theater" to seek pleasure.

After a cloud and rain with a familiar girl, the girl suddenly mentioned that someone was asking her about herself, and Chloe suddenly became alert. He thought of the assassination a few days ago. Although he was safe and sound, the assassin was severely injured. He moved his residence cautiously.

Wasn't that assassination accidental? Someone is targeting me?

He immediately took out the crystal and started divination:

"I will be in danger today."

"I will be in danger today."

…

After seven times in a row, the crystal turned clockwise, neither fast nor slow, indicating that there is no danger today.

After seeing the satisfactory result, Crow was relieved a lot, but his natural cautiousness prompted him to ignore the girl's retention, get up and leave, and decided to immediately move to another residence.

Along the way, he was always careful and guarded against dangers that might appear at any time. Fortunately, he arrived at his residence safely.

The interior of the house was dark, exuding the tranquility of home.

The divination saved me once again... Crow turned the key to open the door, took half a step in the door, turned on the gas light switch, and quickly looked around, and found that all the small organs he left behind remained the same. Only then did he really feel relieved.

The moment he turned around and closed the door, the light flickered twice, then went out, and the room became pitch black again.
