Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

Chapter 332: sound east and west

"At the dance tonight, someone is going to assassinate me."

A very short sentence, but it made everyone on the field feel a little frightened. They turned to look at the people around them, and found that they were all familiar faces. When they were secretly puzzled, they heard Duke Negan say again:

"However, the assassin has been arrested, I will find out the main messenger behind him, and then make him pay the price of his life."

The powerful announcement aroused cheers and applause from the crowd.

In the jubilation, Mr. Duke raised his glass, drank the champagne to celebrate the victory, and said loudly:

"Have a nice night everyone."

Soon, the atmosphere of the dance returned to its previous warm and joyful appearance, but no one could say whether anyone was absent-minded.

The contented Duke Negan strolled into the crowd. He drank two more glasses because he was happy. He was slightly drunk. He didn't know what he saw, and suddenly turned his head and asked:

"Did you find anything unusual?"

The blond secretary behind him had been waiting for a long time. He thought for two seconds before replying firmly, "No."

"Miss Louise, like most people, was affected by the ability of the 'Sealed Artifact' brought by the 'Nighthawks' and did not show any abnormality."

"So, she's just an ordinary person!" Duke Negan said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, shaking the red wine in the glass gently.

"Yes, this is also in line with our investigation." The blonde secretary replied meticulously: "Because of living in the Southern Continent for a long time, Miss Louise has a better understanding of the Beyonder world. It is precisely because of this that she Only then will you quickly establish a close relationship with Miss Audrey."

"Moreover, as far as I know, the two of them, together with Viscount Grelint, formed a small gathering that they thought was very secret, and worked together to become an Extraordinary..."

"What an ambitious child." Duke Negan's eyes stayed on Louise and Audrey, and suddenly sighed, without turning his head, he simply ordered:

"I'll leave the rest to you."

The blond secretary lowered his head, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, but unfortunately no one could see them, only a familiar and well-known word entered his ears:

"Yes, Mr. Duke."

Just when everything seemed to be developing in the way he expected, suddenly, an "uninvited guest" rushed over.

Duke Negan glanced at the visitor and whispered:

"Frightened, what does it look like!"

The person who came was a steward-like figure in the duke's mansion. He first stood still, and then reported in a low voice with a heavy face:

"Mr. Duke, just now, someone broke into the treasury in the backyard, killed all the guards, and stole one thing."

Hearing this, Duke Negan's drunkenness was instantly swept away, the wine glass in his hand was shattered by the force, and he asked in a deep voice:

"What did the thieves steal?"

The butler quickly glanced around, then whispered something in the ear of Mr. Duke.

"Crash", the wine glass shattered in response, and the red wine fell down between his fingers, looking a little dazzling. Duke Negan didn't care about his gaze, turned around and left the ballroom.

The surrounding guests are inevitably a little surprised, but thinking that Mr. Duke has just been assassinated, maybe he found something to become angry, so he didn't care too much, but continued to enjoy the happy time... After all, happiness is the eternal theme .

"What's the matter, Mr. Duke?"

Audrey looked at the back of Duke Negan walking away quickly, as if she could see the anger hidden in him, then turned her eyes to Louise beside her, and asked curiously:

"Isn't the assassin already caught?"

It's a pity that the members of the "Secret Order" are not assassins at all... Louise sneered in her heart.

Looking at Duke Negan's performance just now, it seems that the other members of the "Secret Order" have achieved their real goals and have stolen what they want... Louise watched Mr. Duke's figure disappear completely without looking sideways. In the line of sight, I unexpectedly found that the blonde secretary suddenly turned back and glanced at himself, his face was expressionless, as if he just did it unintentionally.

After a moment of silence, she replied casually:

"It may be the mastermind behind the assassination... Think about it, the person who dares to assassinate Duke Negan must be someone of the same level... Two tigers fight, and one must be hurt!"

Louise turned her head sideways, and said with a deep meaning:

"This Beckland, I'm afraid it's going to be a mess!"

When Audrey heard the words, she felt a sense of empathy. Perhaps it was the reason why her identity changed so quickly. Before she became an Extraordinary, the first half of her life was uneventful.

But when she was fortunate enough to join the "Tarot Club" and become an "audience", her life seemed to have become a water surface that was constantly being smashed by stones, undulating and extremely exciting.

Miss Justice couldn't tell whether this change was good or bad. She pondered silently for a while, and then raised her biggest doubt:

"Why did the members of the 'Secret Order' assassinate Duke Negan, and what good does it do to them?"

Louise took a sip of red wine and said noncommittally, "Who knows?"

"Maybe they want to get what they want from it, or they may be ordered by others, just like Qilingers... As long as the pay is good enough, anything can happen."

Audrey nodded thoughtfully.

As the top nobleman in Backlund~www.NovelMTL.com~ the largest landowner in Ruen, the villa where Duke Negan lives is naturally extraordinarily luxurious and very large.

The Duke took the lead, followed by the blond secretary and the butler who had just reported.

The three of them strode towards the secret treasure house in the backyard, and soon, several corpses appeared in sight.

The housekeeper stepped forward and pointed to the well-preserved corpses scattered all over the place in turn and introduced:

"This corpse was shot in the forehead, but no bullet was found... This corpse does not have any scars on its body, but the person is dead..."

The blond secretary immediately said, "'Air Bullet', 'Spiritual Thread'...same as the guy who used 'Paper Man Stand' at the dance just now, they are all abilities of the 'Divinator' pathway."

"The 'Divinator' pathway..." Duke Negan frowned and thought for two seconds, unable to hide the surprise in his heart, and said, "The Secret Order?"

At this time, the middle-aged captain of the "Night Watcher" squad asked for an interview and reported:

"Mr. Duke, the Extraordinary who was caught is the 'faceless man' of the fortune teller pathway, a member of the secret organization 'Secret Order', the original purpose of his appearance at the dance was to create chaos, attract attention, and give him The actions of our associates create opportunities.”
