Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1286 Change of Face
Buy out the entire supermarket...

Klein's expression became the same as the goddess of night on the phone, but he smiled after a moment.

That's right. Simply buy the supermarket and shut it down. The lottery with receipts will naturally be out of business. Even if rows of potions are still on the shelves, wouldn't law-abiding Angel be helpless once the door is closed?

I almost forgot that Tao Russell Gustav Huang was a senior executive of the multinational business group Intis in the Dream City. As long as he used his extraordinary abilities a little, acquiring a supermarket would not be a big problem... Klein couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Russell's idea in his heart, and of course, the same was true with his hands.

The Lord above the gray fog: (Thumbs up)

Then, he opened the group chat user list, selected "Everyone who speaks must be known" representing Adam, and quickly sent a message.

The Lord Above the Gray Mist: Can you use suggestion or hypnosis to make Angel treat that magic potion as poison and not dare to take it anymore?

Everything I say will be known: This is an action that involves the direct purpose of the dream owner. As long as there is such an action, I will definitely be kicked out of the dream.

This... Looking at Adam's answer, Klein's eyes widened slightly, and he immediately understood the other party's subtext.

No wonder he chose such an online nickname... His heart was in turmoil, but his expression did not change at all, and his hands steadily typed the next question.

Lord Above the Gray Mist: Do you think Roselle's method works? Buying the supermarket and closing it directly to prevent Angel from getting the subsequent potions will also lead to being kicked out of the dream?
All words must be known: I don't think it will be very effective, but you can try it. It will delay the time when Angel gets the "witch" potion.

Postponement? What's the point? Even if Angel couldn't enter the supermarket, Amon could give Angel the "witch" potion like an "instigator" and let her advance... Klein frowned, somewhat doubting the real purpose of Adam and Amon entering the dream city.

Should I leave the dream city and ask Him face to face in reality? No, if it is really necessary, He should find a chance to tell me within 24 hours of me being kicked out, and let Lovia tell "Sun" Derrick... Because I can't know, at least I have to pretend not to know?
His mind was full of thoughts, but he didn't dare to ask more questions, fearing that "everything he said would be known."

At this time, a new conversation flashed in the group chat.

Coke tastes really good: It's been done, that supermarket belongs to the Intis Group, I will stop their business in the name of renovation, and the entire supermarket will be closed for a month starting tomorrow, including the lottery counter!
Lord Above the Gray Mist: So fast? Did Jarvis buy it for you?

It's dark, please close your eyes: it might be Friday (excited)
Reminder to Doomsday Assistant: What is that?
Except for Adam, who kept everything to himself, everyone else is very active... Klein muttered, his eyes fixed on the portrait and name of the Goddess of Night, as if thinking about something.

After a moment, he sent another message.

The Lord Above the Gray Mist: I will try to contact Angel again this afternoon to see if I can save our relationship. I also think it is necessary to monitor her to prevent her from skipping classes today and going to the supermarket to take the "witch" potion.

Reminder to Doomsday Assistant: Agree.

Let it be known that it is best to hold off until dark, when it is safe to wait until the supermarket closes.

It was dark... As expected... Klein's expression changed slightly.

----

After school in the afternoon, when students walked out of the school gate in groups, Sherlock Moriarty, wearing a windbreaker and with a serious expression, was already standing at the door.

He immediately saw Angel and Chick, two beautiful female college students, standing side by side with their heads close together and whispering. One of them was wearing a dress that revealed her smooth calves, looking elegant and quiet, while the other was wearing a long skirt that reached her ankles, looking lively and bright. Although their styles were different, they both attracted the attention of a large number of students.

It's so stressful to strike up a conversation in this kind of situation... Klein's mouth twitched as he walked up to her. He immediately felt many eyes shifting to him.

Before he could speak, Angel raised his eyebrows and greeted him coldly:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Moriarty."

Then, she pulled Chick to the other side, and the latter made a face at Klein, then proudly left with Angel's hand.

This guy... Klein felt a surge of anger in his heart, but he didn't dare to vent it on Angel. He could only hurry up and said softly:

"Angel... Miss Granger, can I talk to you for a few minutes? It won't take up too much time."

His tone was sincere and his attitude was very humble, which made Angel hesitate and slow down his pace. He turned his head to look at him:
"Mr. Moriarty, there shouldn't be anything interesting for us to talk about, right?"

Chick also laughed and said:
"Hehe, maybe he wants you to do a new survey?" Klein immediately turned to the annoying witch and asked with pretended concern:
"Don't you usually leave Miss Granger once school is over?"

This "kind" reminder immediately reminded Chick of the current time. She glanced at the orange-red dusk light in the sky and her expression became hesitant, but she forced herself to answer:

"I plan to stay with her for a while today. She said she wanted to go shopping in the supermarket not far away."

"No, I'm not going," Angel immediately shook his head and said, "Chick, thank you for accompanying me for a while, why don't you go back first, I will go home directly later."

This sentence made Chick straighten his back, stretch his neck, and have a dull expression, his eyes darting back and forth between Angel and Klein.

"It's okay. I'll go home with you. There's still some time before dark."

She forced her way between the two of them, continued to hold Angel's hand, and glanced at Klein provocatively.

Follow me if you want, he's just an "NPC" anyway, not a real person... Klein muttered to himself as he walked side by side with the reluctant Angel and Chick who was almost hanging on her on the street.

He had originally intended to monitor Angel so that he would not take the "witch" potion before the supermarket closed. Now that the latter had changed his schedule, he was relieved.

Moreover, Klein suspected that Angel changed his mind and decided not to go to the supermarket because he saw him coming.

Does she still care about my "persuasion" yesterday... Just as I had this comforting thought, Chick asked:
"Mr. Moriarty, didn't you say you had something to tell Angel?"

If I talk about what happened yesterday morning now, then you will know about Angel skipping class... Klein came up with a plan and asked with a thoughtful look on his face:

“I’m a little curious, why do you stay away from Angel after school and never contact her at night?
"Are you afraid of her at night?"

This direct question made Angel look at Chick curiously, and a hint of haze appeared on the latter's beautiful expression, as if covered by a veil in the evening sunlight.

After a moment, Chick replied hesitantly:
"I just feel that Angel at night is a little... scary. When I first transferred here, I felt a strange sense of closeness to her. I always wanted to get close to her and follow her, as if I had met a close friend or even a sister whom I hadn't seen for many years...

"But at night, this feeling disappears, and is replaced by a deep fear and terror... I used to think that I was not used to the night in this city, so I transferred my uneasiness to Angel, but recently I started to have a strange dream, which made me even more...scared of her at night."

As she said this, she gave Angel an apologetic smile.

"Dream?" This word made Angel a little alert. She glanced at Klein and asked Chick, "What dream?"

Chick slowed down his pace and said in a low voice:

“In my dreams, I always appear in a dark and deep place, and then I am swallowed by black, unextinguishable flames, die in agony, and turn into a naked statue with a weird smile.

"And the man who burned me had Angel's face, a cold, heartless face."

Being burned to death by black flames in a dark place... Isn't that how the "Original Witch" died in the mirror world? Klein was startled and his eyes involuntarily looked at Angel.

The latter looked panicked at this time, shook his head quickly and said:
"No, that couldn't have been me. How could I set you on fire?"

"Of course, I know that wasn't you. It was just a dream, and I was with you all day."

Chick smiled nonchalantly and comforted Angel instead.

At this moment, the last ray of sunlight in the day was swallowed up by the tall buildings, and the orange-red glow on Angel's face also faded away quietly.

Her face was hidden in the shadows, and her panicked expression seemed to be swallowed by the darkness, replaced by indifference and ruthlessness.

Those purple eyes were like a frozen lake, staring at Chike quietly.
