Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 158 The Enchanting Succubus
Delia didn't notice anything was wrong and was still comforting her father: "It's okay, I'll just go change my clothes."

Verdu stayed in the classroom for a while, waited for his daughter to change clothes and came back, apologized to his daughter and the teacher before leaving the classroom.

After the classroom door closed, Verdu almost trotted downstairs to the reception room where Odysseus was waiting. "Mr. Wizard, as you said, there are wounds on the inside of Delia's arms and legs."

He then briefly described the verification process.

After hearing this, Odysseus nodded slightly and said, "Now I can confirm my guess."

By this time, Verdu was completely convinced by the wizard in front of him and was waiting for his instructions.

Odysseus paused and continued, "Have someone prepare a full-length mirror that's more than a meter tall, something sturdy. Also prepare a piece of opaque cloth that's big enough to cover the entire mirror."

Verdu went out again, and soon two male servants came in carrying a tall solid wood full-length mirror, and a maid came in holding a black cloth.

Under Odysseus's command, the sofa and coffee table were moved aside and a full-length mirror was placed in the center of the room.

Odysseus took out the spiritual materials and pen he had prepared long ago and began to draw magic circles on the back and side of the mirror.

After York and Verdu saw those mysterious symbols, although they didn't know what they were, they looked very powerful, and they became more confident in Mr. Wizard's next actions.

The magic circle is almost drawn, with only the mirror surface left with nothing written on it.

Odysseus temporarily put the pen and spiritual materials aside, and then instructed everyone to move the mirror to a corner of the room, where it could not be seen from outside the door.

"Now there's only one last thing left," Odysseus said. "Find a reason to call Delia here. She can't have any doubts until she sees this mirror."

Verdu thought for a moment and said, "She'll be out of class in half an hour. I can call the two children down and tell them they want to meet Uncle York Elton."

Odysseus said, "What's going to happen next might be a little scary. Make sure you bring the other child along."

Verdu took a deep breath and said, "It would be good to let him broaden his horizons."

Odysseus nodded and said, "Okay, you all need to be mentally prepared for what's next. No matter what happens, don't panic."

Verdu and York both nodded in agreement. They thought they had seen many storms and would definitely not panic.

After waiting for another half an hour, Verdu went out to look for Delia.

Odysseus hid beside the mirror and could only be seen after entering the room.

A few minutes later, Odysseus and York heard Verdu talking and laughing with his son and daughter coming to the door. York in the house took a deep breath and felt a little nervous.

The door was opened and Verdu walked in first. He was a little nervous, but he was walking in front and was not exposed.

"Come, say hello to Uncle Elton." Verdu said with a forced smile.

Bang~
Just as the three men continued forward towards York, the door suddenly closed.

Almost at the same time, Odysseus in the corner threw out a handful of white powder and shouted, "Delia Jackson!"

In fact, he didn't need to shout like that, he just needed to sprinkle the powder, but for the sake of performance, he still solemnly called out Delia's full name.

Everyone looked at the mirror at once. Verdu and York almost fell to the ground. Their eyes passed through the sparse white powder and saw the image in the mirror.

There were expressions of surprise on the faces of Delia and Verdu's youngest son, but behind Delia, there was a very charming female figure.

The woman had a charming smile and her eyes seemed to emit electricity, which made her look very eye-catching.

But its body was soft, and its limbs were like those of a mollusk, naturally wrapped around Delia's limbs, with its hands wrapped around Delia's elbows and its feet wrapped around her knees.

The white powder sprinkled by Odysseus, after making the evil woman appear, seemed to be blown by a gust of wind and suddenly turned into two white and somewhat illusory ropes, one end of the rope rolled towards Delia.

The smile on the "evil woman's" face disappeared, she opened her mouth to reveal her fangs and let out a roar, but before she could "get off" Delia's body, the rope was entangled around her neck and shoulders.

The other end of the illusory rope was thrown into the mirror by Odysseus.

Immediately afterwards, a huge suction force seemed to appear in the mirror, pulling the rope and quickly entering the mirror.

The "evil woman" struggled hard while making creepy noises, and was pulled quickly towards the mirror by the rope, but it did not let go of Delia, so they were pulled together.

Odysseus imbued his long wooden staff with spirituality and hit the "evil woman" hard on the back.

The "evil woman" screamed and let go of Delia.

Odysseus took this opportunity to use his staff to stuff it into the mirror, and then sprinkled a handful of black powder, and the mirror surface suddenly became less bright.

dong dong dong~
The solid wood mirror was shaking violently, and the "evil woman" found that she could not use the "mirror world" to escape, and was trapped in this mirror.

So York, Verdu and others saw a very strange scene. There was an "evil woman" pounding the mirror, like a prisoner who wanted to escape from prison.

Odysseus once again picked up the spiritual materials and pen, and quickly wrote complex or simple mystical symbols on the mirror.

He tried hard to concentrate and not look at the "evil woman", because it would be easy to be affected by the "charm" with just one look.

The black powder can only block the opponent for a certain period of time, and eventually a magic circle will be needed to seal the opponent in the mirror.

But Odysseus was still affected to a certain extent, because the eyes of the "evil woman" were so beautiful that people wanted to look at them a few more times.

Even Odysseus, a Beyonder, was attracted by it. Verdu and the others were blushing and ready to rush over to pull the wizard away and rescue the "evil lady".

Fortunately, Odysseus had already prepared the corresponding medicine. He threw the glass bottle containing the medicine to the ground, and the room was immediately filled with a foul odor.

The stench was like the stinkiest fart anyone had ever smelled, or the stench of severely spoiled food like meat or eggs. In short, no one in the room had ever smelled a stinkier odor.

So Verdu and the others no longer cared about the "evil lady" and squatted on the ground to vomit.

Odysseus couldn't help retching, but his hands became faster as he retched. He quickly wrote the last mystical symbol and injected spirituality into the correct position.

The scene in the mirror immediately became blurry, and the face of the "evil woman" could not be seen clearly, so he was not affected by her.

Finally, Odysseus covered the mirror with a black cloth and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The full-length mirror at that moment, aside from the occasional "dong dong dong" movement and noise, had no effect on the outside world. Verdu and the others were still vomiting, and the room was unbearable. Odysseus opened the window and then the door, and had the servants help the people inside out.

When the servants came in to help, they couldn't help but vomit.

The scene was very chaotic for a while, and it took a minute or two to help everyone out of the room.

Odysseus took out a bottle of essential oil that he had prepared long ago, put it under his nose and smelled it, and the feeling of vomiting disappeared immediately.

Then he put the bottle of essential oil under the noses of the others and smelled it, and everyone stopped vomiting. However, the room and the door were already a mess, and Verdu and the others were covered in vomit.

With the help of the servants, they went upstairs to tidy up and change their clothes before going downstairs to entertain the wizard.

Odysseus used this time to sprinkle some medicine powder in the reception room, and it no longer smelled so bad.

At the same time, Odysseus felt that the potion was showing signs of digestion, which meant that his performance was very successful. Verdu and others thought he was a very powerful wizard.

To be precise, there was not much acting involved. It was enough to just present the "evil woman" in front of Verdu and others.

Everyone sat down in the living room, and the servants brought back the tea. Then Verdu asked with some fear, "Mr. Wizard, what was that monster just now?"

"That's called a succubus," Odysseus explained. "It's a supernatural creature rarely seen in cities."

The eyes of a seductress are one of the main ingredients for becoming a "Pleasure Witch". This type of seductress usually lives in the wilderness and occasionally goes to places where people gather to "charm" some men as food.

Odysseus continued, "Generally, the enchantresses that appear in the city will have a 'female companion'. This is a very rare phenomenon, because not only must the female companion be born on the same day as the enchantress, but the souls of both parties must not show any signs of rejection.

"I only saw relevant records in ancient texts, so I guessed that Delia became the 'companion' of the Enchanter.

"Since the succubus has a 'female companion' and lives with humans, it's very cunning. If there's even a hint of danger, it will hide in the mirror.

"So the biggest difficulty in capturing it is not to arouse her suspicion in advance."

Odysseus believed that the previous "Nighthawks" had hidden themselves in the mirror in advance because the enchantress had not paid attention to this point.

In the end, they only discovered that Delia's spirituality was somewhat unstable, and believed that she saw something she shouldn't have seen in her dream, which led to such consequences.

Verdu said with emotion: "Fortunately, we asked you for help, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do."

Odysseus calmly accepted the rich man's thanks, because this knowledge was indeed very unpopular. By the time the official Beyonders discovered Delia's abnormality, the girl might have suffered irreversible damage.

At this time, the old gentleman York asked: "Mr. Wizard, how did this... this monster get here?"

"Maybe he found this place through the mirror," replied Odysseus.

Of course, it is also possible that someone is deliberately raising the enchantresses. Odysseus has also seen such a description in the "Wilderness of Knowledge": the older this extraordinary creature is, the stronger its "enchantment" ability will be after the ascended person uses its eyes to ascend.

According to some intelligence Odysseus had obtained, Backlund had more than one witch using a socialite as a cover, and now the "Witch Cult" was cooperating with the royal family, so there should be many witches hiding in the corners of the city.

It is very likely that they sent this enchantress here, but these things certainly cannot be told to ordinary people who only have a slight understanding of the extraordinary.

After chatting for a while, it was getting late, so Odysseus got up and said goodbye.

Verdu took out a paper bag containing a stack of banknotes and asked Odysseus to accept it.

Odysseus took out some of them, and his spiritual perception told him that there were exactly 20. "I only want a part of it. As for the other reward, I want to take the mirror away."

Verdu was overjoyed and immediately sent a carriage to take Odysseus and the mirror away, and asked the two coachmen to help the wizard move the mirror into the house.

Returning to No. 66 Rose Street, Odysseus watched the driver drive away, then immediately went out to send a telegram to the Backlund Mechanical Research Institute and bought dinner.

When Odysseus returned to his residence, he saw that the mirror still made a "dong dong dong" sound occasionally, which proved that the enchantress was still inside.

He went to the restaurant and placed the grilled meat and fish, as well as the roasted pork skin and Fenaport garlic shrimp he had bought on the table, then opened a bottle of wine for a small celebration.

Glancing at the mirror in the living room again, Odysseus smiled and said to himself: I made a lot of money from this business. It's a bit like the antique industry. If you don't open for three years, you can make money for three years after you open it.

The garlic shrimp is quite good and perfect for drinking. The roasted pork skin needs to be eaten quickly, otherwise it will become hard after a while.

After an hour or so, the wine was almost finished and the food was almost finished.

Odysseus came to the living room, turned on the gas lamp, and waited quietly for the guests to arrive.

After taking two sips of tea, Odysseus seemed to see a figure flashing on the window glass out of the corner of his eye.

Odysseus smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. There are still Bokers.

"You can decide whether to take action after meeting that group of customers."

"Hehehe~"

Suddenly, a silver bell-like laughter sounded from the other side of the window: "It seems that you are not completely ignorant."

Ding ding ding ding~
The doorbell suddenly rang and the figure in the window disappeared.

Odysseus went to open the door, and the person outside was Max, the captain of the "Mechanical Heart".

After seeing the long beard that Odysseus had put on, Max couldn't help but smile: "Why do you dress like this?"

Odysseus smiled and said, "I have wanted to be a wizard since I was a child."

Max shook his head, obviously not believing such nonsense at all. He entered the house, looked at the mirror in the middle of the living room and asked, "You said you found traces of the 'witch'."

"Not only that, I also caught this." Odysseus said this and pulled away the black cloth from the mirror.

Because the world in the mirror was very blurry, Max took a long time to identify it before saying, "This... This is a seductress?"

The living "Succubus"!
Odysseus nodded: "I hope to get a good price."
