Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1279 Chat Group

With the information about Sherlock Moriarty that Adam had gotten from somewhere, Klein successfully found his class schedule and lesson plans in the office and confirmed that he had his classes this morning.

What surprised him was that although Moriarty was a "local", his desk and bookshelves were filled with Chinese books. And these were not bulky books for show, but professional books worth reading.

Given that the entire dream city was created based on Angel's subconscious, the image of Sherlock, who looks the same as the private detective played by Klein during the Backlund period, is likely Angel's "stereotype" of him.

So, in her eyes, I am a person who is proficient in Chinese and likes to teach others?

Klein muttered as he cleaned up his office. He took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack, revealing the vest and shirt he was wearing underneath.

Around his right wrist was a gold chain ending in a perfectly cut amethyst pendant.

This was not owned by "Moriarty", but was an alien item that Klein brought back here after leaving the dream.

If the pendant is accidentally revealed in class, will it awaken Angel's memory... He pondered, put the lesson plan in his pocket, pushed open the office door and prepared to go to the classroom, but found that the woman in the black dress who had just passed by returned to the door again, leaning against the wall opposite the corridor, playing with her mobile phone.

Is she looking for me for something, or has she been given by the goddess... Klein frowned slightly.

From the information in the data and the information he obtained through divination, Moriarty and the dean of the history department had no intersection in life other than work, so after hesitating for a moment, he opened his mouth and asked:
"Good morning, Ms. Amanesis, is there anything you can do for me?"

The lady in the black dress and black hair reluctantly looked away from the phone screen, raised her head and glanced at him, and said softly:

“Be careful when approaching her and don’t do anything drastic.

"We'll contact each other through chat software later."

Is she really a goddess... She, no, "Him" is addicted to the phone just as a disguise so that others won't disturb her easily? Klein was startled. Amanesis had already turned and walked to the other end of the corridor. The screen of her phone flashed by, and various web pages and chat software were displayed in split screens, with the content scrolling continuously.

After spending a night in this modern dream city, Klein's biggest feeling was that his mobile phone was much more advanced than when he "traveled through time". It was thinner, foldable, and had a clearer screen.

She was really playing with her phone... Could it be that the goddess was bored after thousands of years of being disconnected from the Internet? She could create dreams, so why not create a modern city in her dreams... The thought flashed through his mind, and Klein shook his head. He watched the goddess go into another office, and then he went to a public classroom in the teaching building to prepare for his lessons today.

As he expected, Angel Granger had already arrived in the classroom and was sitting in the row closest to the podium. On the table in front of him was an extracurricular reading material:
The Count of Monte Cristo.

The Chinese version of the French novel appeared on the British man's desk... Tsk, this book happened to be "borrowed" by Russell, and I also used the pseudonym Dantes... Klein subconsciously glanced at the cover of the novel, and then his eyes fell on Angel, frozen for a moment.

Angel was wearing a dark grey skirt today, the hem only reaching the middle of her thighs. She was wearing a creamy white wool sweater, with the sleeves rolled up to her wrists, revealing her slender wrists. Her fair skin and a silver necklace were faintly visible under the V-neckline, and the hem of the sweater just covered the waistline of the dark grey skirt. Her legs, dangling under the long desk, were wrapped in a pair of delicate black stockings, which vaguely outlined the lines of her legs, reaching her slightly raised ankles and round-toed black leather shoes.

Although her appearance had changed a little due to the deterioration of her "witch" abilities, her aura was still there... Klein quickly looked away to avoid being noticed by the perceptive Angel, but he discovered that there was an uninvited guest sitting next to her.

Chick, the "Original Witch".

The young woman, who was wearing a conservative but figure-revealing black dress and looked as pretty as Angel, was absent-mindedly flipping through her phone, apparently not interested in the upcoming class.

According to Adam's information, Chick had recently transferred to this school and was acquainted with Angel. Did he have some special purpose in approaching the dream master? But why did Angel become friends with Chick? If everything in the dream has a corresponding symbol, she should deliberately distance herself from the "Original Witch" who had a grudge against her...

Klein also only glanced at Chick, then looked around the classroom where there were not many students, and began his first class in his life.

Fortunately, as a Chinese netizen in the 21st century, he had a vague memory of everything, and with some preparation in advance, he was able to scare the "NPCs" created by Angel's subconscious mind under the podium.

Only Angel, who was sitting in the first row, frowned slightly, and was surprised by Sherlock Moriarty's class today.

Because among all the seemingly unrelated Chinese words on the huge electronic blackboard, a few words stood out.

"Zhou" from the Book of Changes, "Ming" from the Ming Dynasty, and "Rui" from auspiciousness.

I felt like I had heard this combination of words somewhere before... She was stunned for a moment, looking at Sherlock Moriarty who was talking on the podium and looking at her from time to time, and fell into deep thought.

Chick, who was standing by, poked her graceful waist wrapped in a sweater out of curiosity and chuckled.

……

After class, Klein sighed in disappointment as he watched Angel pack up his books and prepare to leave without any hesitation.

He didn't expect to awaken Angel's memory with just a few words containing his real name, but he still felt a little disappointed when the other party didn't react.

Seeing that Angel and Chick had already walked to the classroom door, Klein finally made up his mind to take a risk and quickly followed them and called out to them.

"Miss Granger, could I spare you a minute?"

When Angel looked at him with a puzzled look, Klein continued:

"I'm conducting a statistical survey. Can I ask why you chose my course?"

As he spoke, he picked up his notebook and pretended to take notes, so that his approach would not seem so abrupt.

"The reason..." Angel repeated in a low voice, his purple eyes wandering. "I don't know. It's just an urge to learn... I yearn for that country in the East, and hope to go there one day, but for various reasons I haven't been able to go there. It's as if there is a thick barrier between me and it..." Barrier... Could it be the seal of the Western Continent? Just as Klein had a guess, Chick inserted himself between the two of them and looked at him curiously.

"Teacher, aren't you going to ask me?" She asked with a smile, "Do you have any special feelings for Angel?"

This guy is still so annoying even after he’s dead... Klein tightened his fingers around the pen and nodded without changing his expression.

"What about you? What's the reason?"

"The main reason is of course to collect some credits, and also to accompany Angel... Of course, like her, I also hope to go to China one day. My boyfriend has lost contact since he went there, and I have to catch him..."

Chick smiled and replied, making Klein unsure of the truth of her words.

But if she is really the "Original Witch", then her boyfriend is most likely the "Blood Emperor" Tudor. After the latter's death, his remaining soul caused chaos in the River of Everlasting Darkness and was sealed by the underworld. This can also be considered a kind of "loss of contact"... After knowing that everything in the dream may have metaphors and symbols, Klein felt that there was another meaning hidden behind everything he saw and heard.

After being interrupted by Chick, he didn't want to continue to ask Angel in depth, otherwise it would really be suspected that he had "special intentions". He could only watch the two female college students leave the classroom while talking and laughing.

----

Back in the office, Klein remembered that the goddess had reminded him that they would contact each other through a chat app. He took out Sherlock's phone, unlocked it smoothly with his fingerprint, found the green icon and opened it. Only then did he realize that Amanisis, the friend he had added for work, had already added him to a new group chat.

Could the goddess really be a severe internet addict? These things can obviously be discussed in person... Klein muttered inwardly, entered the group chat, clicked on the member list, and found that there were exactly five people including himself, and except for him, everyone else had already changed their names.

"'Everything said must be known'? This must be Grisha Adam, no, maybe Russell is playing a joke...

"'Close your eyes when it's dark'... With a profile picture full of stars, she must be a goddess... I can't believe she is that... But she would use 'higher than the stars, longer than eternity' as the prefix of her name, so it's not surprising that she would use such an online name...

"'Coke tastes really good'...Okay, this is the Huang Tao who would write that diary...

"'Remind the Doomsday Assistant'... Is this Angel Grey's self-deprecation?"

Looking at the inhuman user names, Klein's mouth twitched, and he silently changed his name to "The Lord Above the Gray Mist" and blended in with them.

Lord Above the Gray Mist: I have replaced Angel's Chinese teacher and had initial contact with her, but it did not awaken any of her memories. The "Original Witch" Chick has been by her side and is very wary of anyone who gets close to her.

Everything you say will be known: This is a reflection of the dream owner's defensive consciousness. Although you are pretending to be someone she is familiar with, your behavior pattern cannot be the same as before, which will arouse her vigilance. As a result, all kinds of people and things around her will hinder your approach.

The Lord Above the Gray Mist: I didn't continue to contact her, but how can I conduct a deeper investigation if this continues?
Please close your eyes before it gets dark: I have checked the historical data of this city and all the news on the Internet today, and found no signs of extraordinary events or extraordinary powers. Perhaps I can start from Angel Granger's understanding of extraordinary powers.

Hmm, it turns out that the goddess was surfing the Internet to investigate these clues. It seems that I misunderstood Her... Klein was stunned and sent a smiling emoticon. Almost immediately, he received a reply with the emoticon "It's dark, please close your eyes."

No, maybe he really is a senior netizen... He curled his lips.

Reminder to Doomsday Assistant: If we can't find a breakthrough, we can try to make Angel's understanding of supernatural powers deeper, so that she and we can restore the power of Sequence 7. In this way, I may be able to replace her "Mirror Man" and bypass Chick to contact her.

Coke tastes really good: Wouldn’t this cause anyone who came into contact with her to be kicked out of the dream?

Lord Above the Gray Mist: Being expelled from the dream world like this is not fatal, there is a chance to come back. What is more important is the risk of the Prime Creator's revival. In the real world, He is obsessed with replacing the mirror person of the female witch. If Angel recovers Sequence 7, becomes a "witch", and has his own mirror person, will it cause greater danger?
Close Your Eyes When It's Dark: If this happens, kill Angel Granger immediately to restart the dream.

This... Klein was stunned, and immediately realized that if he didn't consider his own feelings, killing Angel in the dream was indeed a good way to solve any "abnormality".

But I always feel that if we get to that point, something bad will happen... He instinctively resisted the idea of ​​"killing Angel" and made a sweaty expression.

Suddenly, "Everyone Who Says Must Be Known" sent a private message. Klein clicked it and found that it was an invitation from Adam:
“Come to the churches in this city when you have time.”

----

Patis, the "City of Dreams", underground of the Church of St. Angelica.

Elaine Soren came out of the mirror world and came to the small prayer room belonging to the Archbishop. She looked around and did not find Tracy, so she sighed in disappointment.

After getting rid of the panic of the terrifying black shadow spying on her during the promotion, after two days of exploration and experimentation, she has figured out how to use all the abilities of the "Immortal" witch, and created a sleeping mirror self for herself so that she can be resurrected in the mirror world after her original body dies.

According to the definition of the witch sect, I am already considered a "high-level" person, and like Tracy's mother, I can be given a certain color as a code name... She lifted a bunch of red hair with black ends and took a look, and felt that "Red Witch" was quite suitable for me.

Her thoughts diverged to this extent, naturally, because she had learned that the "Witch Sect" had suffered an absolute defeat in the battle two days ago. Several "Disaster" and "Immortal" witches were killed, and almost all important seals were lost. Most importantly, the "Original Witch" Chick who protected them fell.

After this, I'm afraid there will be no witch sect, only the witch church... Fortunately, Tracy made the right choice in the end. Miss Angelica will not pursue her attempt to leak information. As for her mother, it seems that she has already switched to this side... While thinking about it, Elaine suddenly sensed that there were powerful beings approaching in the mirror world, and there was more than one!
Almost at the same time as her spiritual awareness became clear, the interior of a half-length mirror on the wall became deep and dark, and several figures were outlined beside the mirror. One of them was wearing a women's shirt and tight trousers, with black hair draped over her shoulders. Her blue eyes almost glowed when she saw Elaine. The other was wearing a simple white robe with a thigh-high slit that revealed her fair skin. Her temperament was both charming and pure.

Finally, a black shadow rushed out from behind the two of them, landed lightly in front of Elaine, stretched its limbs, and made a long meow.

A white robe, black hair and blue eyes like Tracy... Is it her mother, the White Saint, Katarina? And Miss Angelica's messenger, the black cat... Elaine was stunned, and had a moment of fear in her heart, and then raised her head confidently.

She is also the "ageless" witch!
