Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 193 Murderous Maniac

Odysseus smiled and said, "Since we have already started such a 'frank' conversation, can you answer a few of my questions before you keep me here forever?"

Fitch sneered and said, "Don't try to delay. Go to the underworld to find the answers to your questions."

As he said this, he raised his hands slightly, as if he understood the principle that "villains seem to talk a lot."

Seeing that the other party was so calm, Odysseus was ready to take action.

"Uncle!" Dylan suddenly asked, "Is all this true? Did you really cause my sister to die in the curse?"

Fitch said coldly: "If she doesn't die, I will die.

“After I die, she must die too.

"Then it would be better for her to die first and buy me three years.

"When the curse takes your life, my child will be ten years old and can block the curse for me."

Dylan's eyes were full of disappointment: "I have always known that you don't like me and my sister, but you don't hate us, right?
“Why are you treating us like this?”

Fitch spread his hands: "This world is so dark and cruel..."

Odysseus took advantage of this opportunity and suddenly sprinkled out two handfuls of golden powder, which instantly spread across the room, emitting pure light.

The sunlight seemed like the hottest sun in summer, shining into the room.

"Ah~" Fitch screamed and crawled behind the sofa after seeing such strong sunlight.

But the pervasive sunlight still shone on him, causing him to hold his head in his hands and hide behind the sofa, trembling all over, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Odysseus knew that his judgment was correct. The Mr. Fitch in front of him was an extraordinary person from the "criminal" path, that is, the "demon" path.

From Dylan's previous description, Odysseus noticed that the servant who approached the figure was ignited by light blue flames, so he guessed that this incident might be related to the "devil".

Because the light blue flame with the smell of sulfur is the characteristic of the flame summoned by the "devil".

So Odysseus took advantage of the time when he lit the fireplace to secretly sprinkle some powder to test Fitch.

It was a colorless and odorless powder. If the target's level was higher than his own, Odysseus's hand would feel a burning pain when he sprinkled the powder.

This is one of the "witches" invented by Odysseus. In his opinion, this simple "witchcraft" is very practical. It can test the opponent's strengths and weaknesses without the opponent being able to detect it.

Because Odysseus did not feel any pain when he sprinkled the powder, he concluded that Fitch should be a Sequence 7 "serial killer".

Compared to the Sequence 6 "Demons" who have many offensive abilities, the Beyonders of this sequence have fewer Beyonder attacks. In other words, Beyonders of this path will only undergo a qualitative change when they reach Sequence 6. At this point, Fitch is more proficient in ritual magic and physical attacks.

That's why Odysseus started to expose the other party's past, but unfortunately, the other party was too calm and did not irritate him or cause him to have any panic reaction.

This is also one of the characteristics of a "serial killer", with extremely high psychological quality!
If Odysseus finds out that the other party's sequence is higher than his own, then this will be a short and pleasant visit. After leaving, Odysseus will immediately go to the nearby town to report to the "Mechanical Heart" by telegram.

Since it was only a Sequence 7, Odysseus was confident that he could defeat him. He planned to use the "Hand of Judgment" gloves to interrogate him and finally hand him over to the official Beyonder.

Even if the Beyonders on the "Criminal" path have not yet reached the level of "Demon", they are afraid of being "exposed" to the sun because they have lost their conscience and become accustomed to evil desires.

So Odysseus, who was well prepared, used the first "magic" to temporarily make the opponent lose the ability to resist.

Then, Odysseus twisted the head of the staff, and the head was twisted off, revealing the sharp white blade inside.

Odysseus had some time these days, so he modified his wooden staff. He installed a dagger at the head of the staff and removed the disguise, turning the wooden staff into a spear.

There is also a mechanism at the bottom of the wooden stick that can fire two feather arrows in succession, and it basically never misses within thirty meters.

At this time, Odysseus held his spear high, quickly went around behind the sofa, and stabbed Fitch's lower back fiercely, injecting spirituality into it. For a moment, electric sparks flashed on the wooden stick, and Fitch twitched all over.

Odysseus deliberately did not stab the vital parts, but only made the opponent lose the ability to resist.

After all, he was a Sequence 7 Beyonder, so he wouldn't die even if his internal organs were pierced.

At this time, the dazzling sunlight in the room faded, and the electric sparks on the wooden stick disappeared. Fitch struggled to pull the spear out of his body.

He lay on the ground, looking at Odysseus with hatred, and suddenly raised his arms and sank his hands down.

Seeing that the other party was still trying to resist, Odysseus threw out a handful of powder again. At the moment he threw out the powder, he suddenly felt a huge force pulling him under his feet.

It felt as if the gravity of the ground suddenly became ten times stronger, forcing Odysseus to kneel on one knee on the ground, and only then did he feel the pressure on his body was not so great.

The powder he scattered also quickly fell to the ground. During the fall, the powder melted in the air and finally turned into a lightning near the ground, striking Fitch.

Odysseus felt the pressure disappear instantly. He stood up and pulled out the "Space Array" sub-array from his pocket and took out the "Hand of Judgment" from it.

At this moment, Odysseus became very majestic. Under the tremendous pressure, the seriously injured Fitch immediately dared not struggle.

Dylan and Pine, who didn't know how to react, quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at Odysseus, and even had the urge to kneel down and salute Odysseus.

Odysseus infused his spiritual energy into the Hand of Judgment and raised his Whip of Spirit in front of Fitch's unprotected spirit: "How do we resolve Dylan's curse?"

Fitch lay on the ground, not daring to move. He spitted blood from his mouth but grinned evilly, "It can't be solved. As long as we're targeted, there's no solution."

Odysseus frowned and asked, "Why does your family have this curse?"

"Because we are a demon family." Fitch suddenly laughed. "This is a curse that has been in our family for thousands of years. Once the curse is cast upon you, at least nine members of the family must die before the remaining family members can be spared."

"Who cursed you?"

Fitch suddenly said eagerly, "This is not a curse, it's a gift."

He suddenly laughed and said, "Over there, yes, there is a secret room over there, and the family notes in it record all this.

"Feel the despair of this curse! Unfortunately... unfortunately, I... I can't see your desperate expressions."

As he spoke, all the muscles in his body began to tremble violently, and it felt as if poisonous snakes were trying to crawl out from under his skin.

After Fitch lost his composure and suddenly became emotional, Odysseus was secretly on guard.

As he expected, Fitch was seriously injured and Odysseus's interrogation put him under tremendous mental pressure, so he lost control.

This made Odysseus realize that although the "criminal" approach seemed very calm, it seemed that emotional fluctuations would hardly influence them.

However, their psychological distortions and deep-seated sins made them similar to the Beyonders on the Prisoner Path. Once they suffered a blow beyond their tolerance, they could easily lose control.

Odysseus immediately threw a handful of red powder, which instantly spread in the air. With a whoosh, a fierce flame ignited around Fitch. The enhanced "fire magic" ignited the "serial killer". Amidst the opponent's roars and struggles, Fitch, who had just lost control, fell back to the ground and burned to death.

Odysseus did not dare to be careless and continued to sprinkle the powder of "fire magic" until the opponent's bones were burned and broken. Only then did he stop.

Odysseus put away the "Hand of Judgment" and felt that a lot of his hair had fallen out again.

So he put on his hat hard to prevent his hair from falling here.

Without the pressure of the "Hand of Judgment", Dylan finally had the courage to ask: "You, you killed Uncle Fitch."

"I just killed a perverted killer." Odysseus said lightly.

He went forward and searched through Fitch's body, and finally found a small, jade-like object in the shape of a kidney.

Odysseus was slightly stunned: a seal was actually formed.

However, the appearance of this seal is a bit hard to describe. Fortunately, it is not big, otherwise if I want to use this seal, I will have to go out with a waist hanging on my waist.

Odysseus took out the sub-array of the space array again and put away the seal.

Then Odysseus said, "Let us go and see the secret room he mentioned."

Dylan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.

Pine tugged at the corner of his clothes and shook his head gently.

Dylan immediately understood his situation. The wizard's magic was so powerful that the two of them were no match for him. If they angered him, they would probably be silenced.

And I can't leave now, so I can only bite the bullet and follow them to check the secret room together.

Odysseus came to the wall that Fitch pointed to, and while reinstalling the head of the staff, he looked for the mechanism on the wall.

Soon Odysseus discovered that the oil painting hanging on the wall must have been moved frequently, and the corner of the frame seemed to have patina due to frequent touching.

But Odysseus did not reach out to touch the painting. Instead, he made a gesture, hid aside with Dylan and Pine, and then picked up the painting with his wooden staff.

swoosh~
As soon as the oil painting was lifted up, a small hole appeared under the painting, and a feather arrow with a blue glow, which was obviously poisoned, shot out.

Odysseus smiled and said, "Although Fitch has not yet been promoted to a 'demon', he is already as vicious as a demon."

Dylan and Pine looked at each other. If they hadn't dodged to the side, one of them would have been shot.

This made Dylan look disappointed again. It was obvious that his Uncle Fitch wanted to use this trap to deal with the "wizard" and didn't care about his life or death at all.

Odysseus simply took the painting off the wall, revealing the mechanism behind it.

They were still hiding on one side, and Odysseus used the head of the wooden staff to trigger the mechanism again.

Click~
A door opened in the wall, revealing a darker space.

Odysseus waited cautiously for a while, and when he found no other traps, he held up his staff and came to the door of the secret room.

There were stairs leading down inside, and a faint smell of blood could be smelled at the door.

Odysseus once again took out the secondary array of the "Space Array", put away his staff, and took out a shield: "I will go to the bottom of the stairs first and give you a signal, then you can go down."

Dylan and Pine had no objection and nodded immediately.

Odysseus held up his shield and went down carefully, but there were still no traps on the stairs.

At the bottom of the stairs was a large space, of crude construction, consisting of four rooms placed side by side without doors.

Odysseus waved to Dylan and Pine, then entered the underground space first and came to the door with a bloody smell. Sure enough, he saw a dissected corpse inside.

The corpse's internal organs and leg muscles were missing, and apart from the expression of great pain on its face, there was nothing else abnormal.

Dylan and Pine, who followed behind, saw this scene and felt nauseous.

Odysseus said to Dylan, "I hope Fitch didn't treat you to a big meal."

Dylan seemed to understand what Odysseus meant, and this time he really vomited.

Because not only had he eaten the feast prepared by Uncle Fitch, but he also thought it was exceptionally delicious and he couldn't tell what kind of meat it was.

Now Dylan knew what kind of meat it was. The ingredients for that feast must have come from this secret room.

Odysseus went to look at other rooms. There was also a small dungeon here, which should have been where Fitch's "prey" was imprisoned.

Going further, some occult symbols appeared in the corridor, and there was a "devil" symbol with a goat head and a pentagram as elements.

The third room is an altar with all kinds of complex and strange symbols painted on it. There are also traces of dried blood on the altar. It is obvious that Fitch often performs some rituals here.

Rituals related to "demons" are often accompanied by bloody sacrifices.

The fourth room contained some books, notes and scrolls. Odysseus took a quick look and found that these books were all about black magic, including rituals to please the "devil", summon the "demon shadow", sacrifice to the "abyss", etc.

The scrolls looked like murals copied from various places, some of which were painted in very ancient styles, while others were from the early Fifth Age.

The characters in these scrolls include "devils" and "devils", and they are all explanatory pictures of sacrifices and rituals.

Some of the objects of sacrifice are "high-level demons", some are angels of this path, and some are "the dark side of the universe", "the abyss" and "the demon king".

Although they were just murals, Odysseus could also feel how bloody these sacrifices were. For example, the sacrifice to the "high-level demon" required 49 living hearts.

Throwing the scrolls aside, Odysseus looked at the notes.

Many of these notes have turned yellow and are very old. Some notes even say that the originals have been damaged and have been copied several times.

The earliest notes can be traced back to the Quaternary period.

Fitch's family is the Belia family, one of the three "demon families".

During the Fourth Epoch, the Demon Family no longer had to hide in dark corners. Many of them were made nobles of the Empire and participated in the "War of the Four Emperors".

Whether it was the Solomon Empire, the Trunsost Empire, or the Tudor Empire, they all tried to win over the demons.

Until the end of the Fourth Age, the "Demon King" seemed to have suddenly disappeared.
