Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

"who is it?"

Joyce pulled out the dagger like a conditioned reflex and assumed a fighting stance, only to find that there was no one else in the room except him.

"It seems that your 'assassin' potion is digested well."

The woman's voice sounded again, Joyce frowned and asked:

"Emily?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar figure appeared on the bed, it was Emily.

She was wearing thin clothes, fragrant shoulders, and her **** were half exposed, and her condition was not good, her face was pale, her waist and left arm were bandaged, and she looked seriously injured.

"Are you injured?" Joyce still frowned, but the meaning of his words was a little unclear, and he never put down the weapon in his hand.

Emily didn't care either, pointing to the wound and explaining:

"I went to verify the authenticity of the intelligence. This is the price to pay."

"You went to Ianna's house?" Joyce put away the dagger and asked in confusion:

"But she's obviously not at home tonight, how could you be hurt?"

"How do you know that Ianna is not at home?" Emily blurted out in surprise.

"I went to a dinner party, and Ianna also attended. We chatted a little bit. She also invited me to the dance next week, but for some unknown reason, she suddenly left in the middle..."

Joyce briefly described what happened, and suddenly reacted and asked:

"It's not because of you, is it?"

Emily first stared at Joyce complicatedly for a while, then sighed and admitted, "That's right."

"Tonight, I sneaked into Ianna's house. Unexpectedly, I stepped into a well-designed trap. After I managed to escape, I met her and just returned, so we had a fight."

"I'm not an opponent. I managed to escape, so I suffered a lot of injuries."

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank you for the medicine in your room, which helped me control the injury and did not worsen."

Joyce said casually:

"It's not worth anything, just bought it from a party."

"What have you gained from your exploration?"

Before Emily could answer, there was a sudden knock on the door, and it was the lady maid who came to inform that the hot water was ready.

Turning his head, he found that Emily was invisible again, Joyce twitched the corner of his mouth, turned and left the bedroom.

Joyce, who was supposed to enjoy the bath, was disillusioned by Emily's appearance. It wasn't that he didn't want to see her. On the contrary, he was looking forward to this meeting, because only in this way could he get the "Instigator" potion formula... …

But she appeared in her bedroom so directly and blatantly, which really made Joyce's lack of security once again compromised.

"Tomorrow, someone will call the 'Provocateur' Hunter back. Although he is only a Sequence Eight, the fighting power of the Hunter Path Beyonder is absolutely trustworthy. Anyway, his 'Assassin' potion has basically been digested, and he will no longer be able to use it. Sneak out in the middle of the night and act."

To be honest, after seeing the injured Emily, the first thought in Joyce's mind was to kill her to get Beyonder characteristics... But he immediately became alert and quickly dismissed this idea.

Not to mention the high probability that he will be counter-killed, but in the matter of dealing with Ianna, the two have the same goal, and they can cooperate with each other.

In addition, Emily tonight is not only physically injured, but also seems to be in a mental state. I don't know if it is her own illusion... Joyce didn't dare to delay, she quickly dried her body, put on a bathrobe and went back to the bedroom .

The gas lamp in the bedroom lit the whole room. Emily was covered with a quilt, leaning on the pillow and reading a book. After seeing Joyce come in, she put down the book and said:

"You're back."

Why do you have a sense of seeing the wife waiting for her husband to come home?

Joyce scratched his head to get rid of this weird feeling, but after getting into bed and lying on the bed side by side with Emily, this feeling became more intense.

In order to break the embarrassment, he said with concern: "Is your injury serious?"

Emily commented with experience:

"It's okay, it'll be fine in three to five days, and there won't be any scars left."

After all, is it a "witch", the recovery ability is still good... Joyce thought, and heard Emily did not stop talking, but continued to ask:

"Your reaction after hearing my voice was very exaggerated, and you came back late, why?"

Anyone who hears a stranger's voice in their bedroom will be nervous... Joyce slandered, and then answered half-truly:

"Someone was assassinated on the way back after leaving the dinner party. Fortunately, I solved it."

"Do you know who sent it?" Emily asked.

"I don't know, but I'll let someone investigate." Joyce didn't want to dwell on this topic, and instead said:

"I found that Ianna's temperament is very similar to yours, why is that?"

"Because we are Beyonders of the same path." After saying this, Emily was silent for a while, as if she was making up her mind:

"Remember when I said that Ianna belongs to an evil secret organization?"

Joyce nodded and listened to her continue to introduce:

"The name of that organization is 'Witch Sect', and it holds the 'Witch' pathway. Ianna and I were both members of the organization, but I took the initiative to leave them."

"Why?" Joyce asked, feeling that he would get the answer.

Emily's beautiful eyebrows were twisted with anger:

"Because the members of the 'Witch Sect' discriminate against women."

Ah? What is the answer?

Unexpectedly, you still have the consciousness of equality between men and women~www.NovelMTL.com~ Then what kind of "witch" is you to believe in the goddess of the night!

"I don't quite understand." Joyce said this very sincerely.

Emily explained patiently and in detail:

"The 'Witch Sect' has a remarkable feature: all the top executives in the organization are women, this is because the 'Witch' pathway can turn men into women."

"Changing gender! How is that possible!" Joyce always kept in mind that his image in Emily's eyes was that of an Extraordinary rookie, so his reaction was exaggerated.

"It's true, I've seen it with my own eyes." Emily said with a complicated expression and some hatred.

Joyce noticed her expression and asked with wide eyes:

"You wouldn't be..."

"No." Emily interrupted, "I've always been a woman, that's why the 'Witch Cult' doesn't accept my promotion request, they'd rather turn a man into a woman and have fun with it than give it to me. Potions formula."

Uh, this is because the "primitive witch Chike" is a man who was promoted to a god, so the "witch" pathway is deliberately distorted...

It turns out that you are a woman. Fortunately, I always thought that I had slept with a "witch" who was promoted from a man, and I felt at ease... Joyce thought so, his eyes were still full of confusion:

"So you defected from the 'Witch Sect'..."

"Then why do you take the initiative to find trouble with Ianna? Shouldn't you run far away... Is it to get the potion formula for the next sequence?"

"That's one of the reasons." Emily affirmed:

"The more important reason..."

"Ianna was my husband."
