Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

Danger, often hidden in the most inconspicuous details, is what his pirate father told Clow.

At the moment when the gas light went out, he was suddenly startled. He heard a gust of wind blowing from behind his head, and a picture of his throat being pierced suddenly appeared in his mind.

This is a dangerous premonition from "The Clown".

Immediately rolled forward, almost hitting the door, his slightly embarrassed action allowed him to dodge a fatal blow like a bolt of lightning.

He felt a sharp cold wind blowing from the back of his neck, and his hair shivered from the cold.

The man was stabbed in the air, and before he had time to be pleasantly surprised, he was kicked in the back, and his strength was so strong that he almost broke his spine. Immediately, he couldn't control his head, and slammed into the wooden door with a bang.

Ignoring the pain, he immediately turned around, leaned his back against the wooden door tightly, took out a stack of cards from the pocket of his coat and placed it in his palm, waiting for him.

However, there was only a dark living room in front of him, and not a single person could be seen.

The crimson moon in mid-air was obscured by dark clouds at some point.

Another assassination, the same as last time, no, it is more dangerous than last time, he is making progress... Clow held his breath, his eyes were rolling around, trying to find the assassin.

……

Joyce squatted in the corner and clearly saw the cards in Clow's hand. Thinking of his performance when he avoided his assassination just now, he quickly made a judgment in his mind: He is not an Extraordinary of the Lucky Path. But the "clown" of the fortune teller.

Holding the "Blade of Oath-Breaking" in his hand, he felt the constant power in his body. He seriously thought about the method to break the deadlock. Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly heard Crow's voice.

"It seems that the injury last time was not deep enough to give you the courage to die so quickly."

Last time? What was last time?

Joyce thought subconsciously and hesitated for a moment.

"Got you."

Chloe's surprised voice sounded again.

At the same time, Joyce's head seemed to be filled with lead water, panic and hesitant emotions appeared, and he even wanted to turn his head and run away in fear.

With a strong desire to survive, he struggled to suppress his emotions, kicked the sofa beside his feet, and blocked the flying cards like blades.

This is not the ability of "The Clown", he has a magical item, the audience channel...

When the sofa blocked the sight of the two, Joyce's mood returned to calm, and with his rich knowledge of the occult, he immediately guessed the reason why he almost lost control just now.

Then, he saw Crow dodge to the left.

Joyce made a decisive decision, held the "Blade of Oath-Breaking" in the palm of his hand, kicked his feet, and his whole body rose into the air to stab at the enemy.

The sofa hit the ground and made a dull sound. I wonder if it would attract the attention of the neighbors.

Knowing that I had a premonition of danger, I still engaged in a head-on assassination. I'm out of luck. This time I want you to leave your life here... A playful smile appeared on Chloe's face, and the image of his heart being pierced flashed in his mind. Confidently stepped back a little, while holding a card in his right hand, ready to slash the enemy's throat with a throwing knife.

It's now! He threw the cards out, already thinking of the scene of blood splashing.

Unfortunately, reality always backfires, and Crow remembered another sentence from the pirate father: fatal danger always comes at the moment of victory.

He didn't see the image of the enemy giving the head in his imagination, but felt a sharp pain from his chest.

He lowered his head and saw a long sword inserted straight into his heart, blood and temperature rapidly drained from his body, and he fell backwards weakly.

Chloe was dead, and his last thought before his death was: I clearly fortuned that there is no danger today.

Divination saved him countless times, but killed him the last time.

Watching the enemy slump down, Joyce took off the card attached to his clothes. The clown was painted on it, which was still a ghost card.

He stood there and closed his eyes unconsciously, as if he was feeling something.

There is a feeling of emptiness after the stimulation has subsided, and there is a sense of incomprehension in taking other people's lives with one's own hands... Of course, what's more, the inexplicable feeling brought about by the digestion of the potion, as if the burden on the body has been relieved by most of it.

It was just an assassination attempt, isn't the extent of digestion a bit exaggerated?

Joyce turned the "Oath-Breaking Blade" in the form of a long sword into a dagger, put it back on his waist, and thought about the rules for playing an "assassin" that he had concluded.

The most important one is: You are an assassin only at the moment of assassination.

Others include "kill the target by any means", "don't challenge the impossible task", etc... These are some of his experiences in his previous life.

If it wasn't for Crow's sudden appearance tonight, his original plan was to ask Charlie the "Pharmacist" for some deadly or hallucinogenic potions, and to make more thorough preparations to ensure the success of the assassination.

However, the current results are acceptable. Although the process is a little thrilling, it is more in line with the characteristics of the "assassin" dancing on the tip of the knife.

He flipped through Cloe's pocket and found scattered items including playing cards, crystal bracelets, gold coins, and dozens of pounds in cash... What about magical items? What about the magical item that just drove yourself into a frenzied audience path?

Soon, Joyce fixed his gaze on Crow's pair of eyes. His left eye was normal black, but his right pupil was a strange golden color.

Oh, it's a bit disgusting... Joyce brutally gouged out Crow's right eye, didn't dare to look closely, and put it directly into a tin cigarette case for preservation.

After this tossing, the wound at the heart of the corpse no longer bleeds, and a bright blood clot coagulated, which was the Beyonder characteristic of the Sequence Eight "Clown" of the Diviner pathway, and was put away by Joyce again.

Next, he carried out a detailed search of the entire house, but found little, only a few banknotes, and the total amount did not exceed one hundred gold pounds.

A pirate chief only has so little assets? impossible!

Joyce also carefully searched for the secret room of the secret organ that was likely to be hidden. Maybe he really didn't have the talent in this area, and once again found nothing.

He can only use the last resort... Go to the kitchen to find two pieces of white bread, break them in half and place them in the four corners of the room. He wants to continue scouring the wool of Yuanbao.

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Xianzun"

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianjun"

……

The familiar gray fog appeared in front of him and quickly dissipated. Joyce pouted the corners of his mouth, thinking that he still had a month to grow wool, and walked to the bedroom to find out the mechanism.

Why do these people like to hide the secret room next to the bed... While muttering, he found a lot of good things in the secret room.

Most of them are spiritual materials. Judging from his meager basic knowledge of mysticism, they should be necessary for ritual magic.

The only thing that is more precious is this tube of liquid in Joyce's hand. Although he doesn't recognize it, its abundant spirituality cannot deceive anyone. Considering that Crow has been a "clown" for many years, he cannot rule out the possibility of continuing his promotion.

It is probably the main ingredient of the potion of the Sequence Seven "Magician".

A lot of harvest!

In addition, a stack of banknotes was also found, roughly estimated to be three or four hundred pounds, and to Joyce's surprise, there was a portrait of a woman stacked under the gold pound.

The woman in the painting is beautiful, charming and lovable, and a mole between her eyebrows makes her more charming. She looks like she is twenty-five or six years old.

Who is this woman? Chloe's lover? No, he doesn't like the type... benefactor, or enemy...

There was no clue, I couldn't figure it out, and simply didn't think about it. Joyce packed the Beyonder materials and took away, but he found it difficult to deal with the corpse.

After a brief thought, he picked up the key to the house and left, leaving the "crime scene" intact.
