Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity
Chapter 331: Assassination?
"Thunderbolt" exploded, and a clear silver-white lightning appeared out of thin air, hitting the head of the male Beyonder who was trying to escape.
This attack has the power of "order" attached, and there is no room for evasion at all.
At the moment when the hair on his body exploded, the frightened male Beyonder immediately turned into a paper figure with exquisite shape, and the real body flashed by with the firelight, getting closer to the exit of the gate.
Not surprisingly, the paper man was split into coke by lightning and scattered all over the place. At the same time, his extraordinary path was also exposed.
The "Divinator" pathway, could it be the guys from the "Secret Order"... Louise watched the battle quietly, a little surprised for a while.
The members of the "Secret Order" came to Backlund just a few days ago. How could they have made plans in such a short period of time, and even put them into action... What is Klein doing? I didn't let him secretly Observe, why is there any news coming? Based on the attraction of Origin Castle to the "Divinator" pathway, shouldn't it?
If Klein knew what Louise was thinking at the moment, he would definitely scream apologetically. Although he did not spend all his energy tracking the members of the "Secret Order", he was not idle either!
On the other side of Backlund, Mr. Fool at this time is cooperating with Miss Sharon and Maric in a hunting operation against members of the "Rose School"...
Looking at the battlefield, Louise suddenly had a very unexpected delusion. She found that the member of the "Secret Order" who was fleeing seemed to have no intention of resisting... Of course, if he resisted, he would most likely die. soon.
He only wanted to escape was the right choice, and he could delay it long enough.
Louise seemed to understand. She knew very well that the Beyonder in front of Backlund was not the only one sent by the Secret Order. Their purpose was not to assassinate Duke Negan, but to capture something.
At this moment, the other members of the "Secret Order" may have secretly seized the real target.
The Beyonder in front of him is probably just playing the role of an "abandoned son"... Of course, if Duke Negan hadn't prepared in advance, he would probably just be a "bait", easily creating chaos at the ball, and then fleeing the scene.
Unfortunately, under the current situation, it is very difficult for him to run away.
Sure enough, although the members of the "Secret Order" who were on the verge of desperation had already approached the gate's exit, they were forced back by another Beyonder with a grim expression, facing the situation of being attacked on both sides.
Louise was a little surprised, because the Beyonder who appeared after she recognized him was the "Night Watcher" and the captain of the team where Miss Daly the "Psychic" belonged.
Why does "Nighthawk" appear here? As Duke Negan, shouldn't he cooperate with "The Punisher" or MI9?
No one can explain this question to Louise, but this battle that was doomed to the end is coming to an end.
The member of the "Secret Order" made a last attempt, but unfortunately it was useless. He was captured alive in a short time and fell into a deep, baby-like sleep.
Duke Negan watched the entire battle with a cold eye, and finally waved his hand, indicating that the person should be temporarily escorted.
Afterwards, the "Sealed Artifact" was taken back by the "Night Watchers" team, and the spiritual fluctuations shrouded in the ballroom dissipated. Most of the guests woke up as if they had just woken up, completely unaware that an extraordinary battle was over.
Their memories are still stuck on Duke Negan's angry speech, except that, like Louise, she concealed her Beyonder status and pretended to be a guest of ordinary people... She believed that she was definitely not an exception. Dean Russell, who was moving his hands and feet in the distance, his performance just now seemed much more "funny".
"What's the situation now?" Audrey, who was beside her, was finally able to speak, and immediately asked in a low voice.
Louise frowned and said:
"Shouldn't you know better? What did Earl Hall tell you?"
Audrey replied naturally: "My father only told me that there was someone who wanted to assassinate Duke Negan at this dance."
Uh, yes, that assassin hasn't moved yet, and is standing in front of you, um, holding your hand... Louise silently released Audrey's right hand and whispered:
"The Extraordinary who was arrested is a member of the Secret Order, and their goal in coming to Backlund is Duke Negan."
Miss Justice nodded slightly, recalling that Louise had shared this information at the Tarot Club, and she also remembered that Mr. World showed considerable interest in it.
It turned out that the members of the "Secret Order" wanted to assassinate Duke Negan. Like "Pirate Admiral" Qilingus, is Qilingus also sent by the "Secret Order"... Audrey developed a wealth of associations , and finally pursed his lips and asked aloud:
"Then what should we do now?"
Louise was very satisfied with her half-truth and half-truth answer just now, and the misfortune was very successful, but what she was more curious about at the moment was:
"How did Duke Negan know that someone was going to assassinate him? If the 'Secret Order' member who was captured alive confessed his purpose, would the Duke be more alert, and would this make his assassination more difficult? …”
She had a lot of doubts in her heart, but now was obviously not a good time to think, so she gathered up a lot of thoughts, turned her eyes to the high platform at the center of the dance, and replied lightly:
"It depends on how Duke Negan ends up."
During the time when the two were talking secretly, the many guests in the hall were already talking about each other in a chaotic manner.
Although they don't know what happened specifically, the collective absent-mindedness just now is obviously for a reason, and as the upper-class people in this country, they are no strangers to the existence of extraordinary power... Finally, everyone's His eyes focused on Duke Negan again.
From the Duke's point of view, it is unforgivable that he has been assassinated repeatedly. He must suspect that someone is secretly targeting him.
With the keen sense of a political figure, he noticed that the atmosphere in Loen was a little delicate recently, and the battles between many interest groups were becoming increasingly fierce. Sadly, the aristocratic class he represented was slowly decaying.
Therefore, he chose the toughest method, held tonight's dance, and turned it into a trap, not only to catch the person who attempted to assassinate him and find the real "murderer" behind him, but also for an equally important reason:
He wants to prove to everyone that Duke Negan is not too old to walk, and tonight's action is a powerful announcement.
As Duke Negan, who received strict aristocratic education since childhood, as a soldier and a statesman, he is excellent, however, his understanding at a higher level is superficial.
He didn't know who his real enemy was, and he couldn't even imagine who the real enemy was.
This is the saddest thing.
But at this moment, he was in a good mood. He took a glass of champagne from the waiter behind him, raised it and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am frightened by everyone. Here, on behalf of myself, I would like to express my sincerest apologies to everyone."
