Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 201 Witch Triss

Just as Odysseus was questioning his plans and goals, he suddenly thought of old Kohler, whom he had never met.

Then Odysseus's eyes became resolute: Even in hell, there are people who are full of hope for future life. Even if their souls and bodies cannot be saved, this hope must be saved.

Next, Odysseus wrote quickly, drawing one magic circle after another.

After painting for over an hour, when Odysseus was taking a break, Bernadette's voice finally rang out from behind him: "What's going to happen in the East District?"

"Someone is going to create a disaster here," Odysseus answered honestly, "a disaster that could kill tens of thousands of people."

Bernadette asked again, "Why didn't you tell the official Beyonders about this news?"

Odysseus smiled bitterly and said, "There's no way to explain the source of the information to them."

This is the most difficult part. Although he is deeply trusted by the "Mechanical Heart", the "Mechanical Heart" will take even his guesses seriously.

But this time it's different because it involves the royal family and 0-08.

The former will make the "Mechanical Heart" treat it with caution and may alert the enemy, while the latter will directly give the enemy an early warning and start "writing stories" for the "Mechanical Heart" and Odysseus.

It is very likely that the members of the "Mechanical Heart" and Odysseus will miss the best opportunity to resolve the smog incident due to ridiculous reasons such as oversleeping or collective diarrhea.

So this matter still needs to be planned and implemented by yourself. Besides, Odysseus has no intention of exposing the royal conspiracy, nor does he intend to fight against the "Witch Sect". He just wants to save some people who should not die like this.

They are straws that will collapse at the first gust of wind.

But now someone is coming with a sickle to cut it early, and Odysseus can no longer pretend not to know.

Bernadette asked again: "There must be a huge conspiracy behind this, right?"

"Yes?"

"Aren't you afraid of their revenge?"

"afraid."

"Then why do you still do this?"

Odysseus suddenly smiled: "There are always some things that are above everything else."

At first he didn't understand this sentence, until he realized that it might anger the king of this country and might even make Adam look sideways, he suddenly realized how asshole the underlying logic of this world with extraordinary background was.

At the same time, he also realized that having a strong opponent is one thing, but whether he can do it or not is another.

In the end, Odysseus chose to do it.

Even if the risks are extremely high.

Bernadette was stunned for a few seconds before asking again, "What kind of enemies might I face?"

Odysseus thought for a moment and said, "The Witch of Despair."

Bernadette said, "Oh," "I see."

Odysseus smiled at the air, thankful that Bernadette didn't ask too many questions.

He continued painting until after two in the morning, and most of the spiritual materials made by Odysseus were used up. This large "complex magic circle" was finally completed.

Bernadette walked Odysseus back to his residence: "See you tomorrow."

She had a premonition that something big would happen tomorrow.

Odysseus smiled and said, "See you tomorrow."

After Bernadette left, Odysseus went to the fireplace and quietly warmed himself by the fire for a while until he was warm all over, then he returned to his room to rest.

……

North District, Government Street, "Military Intelligence Service" office building.

Late at night, the lights in the office of the task force captain, Corey Mond, were still on, because Celt, the director of MI9, gave him a deadline: Odysseus must be found before the end of the day tomorrow.

In recent times, MI9 has been under considerable pressure. Before finding evidence of Odysseus or the "leader"'s crimes, the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery kept questioning Coreymond's previous actions.

Up to now, the three churches have almost jointly questioned the decision of MI9. If this continues, the three major churches are likely to directly intervene in the matter.

Celt had to make concessions at this time, so he issued an ultimatum to Coremond.

If the man cannot be caught by tomorrow and an explanation given to the three churches, Coreymond's career will be over.

So he worked overtime all night, looking for clues.

Coreymond believed that several days had passed since the search of the herbal medicine shop, and Odysseus must have started to sneak out again.

If you check the intelligence and extraordinary reports of MI9 in recent days, you should be able to find some clues.

It was already past five in the morning and Corey had already drunk several cups of coffee. Just when he was about to take a break, a clue suddenly caught his eye.

It said that a very magical "wizard" had come to Backlund, who was obviously a wild Beyonder.

Just as MI9 was preparing for a routine investigation, the Mechanical Heart sent a letter saying that this "wizard" was involved in an extraordinary case they were investigating.

As is customary, such a routine investigation was terminated immediately.

This kind of thing often happens between official extraordinary organizations: one organization discovers an extraordinary criminal and is about to arrest him, but is told by another extraordinary organization that the criminal is their criminal.

According to the convention among official organizations, whoever discovers the criminal first will be responsible for the investigation.

But Coreymond still noticed something was wrong because the "Mechanical Heart" reacted too quickly.

Usually, when this happens, another official organization becomes aware of it only after a routine investigation has begun.

However, MI9's routine investigation was still in the preparation stage when the letter from the Mechanical Heart arrived!
It was as if, instead of stopping MI9's investigation, they were announcing their intention to protect this "wizard".

Coreymond suddenly became alert and began to read the information carefully. He soon discovered that the time when the "wizard" Gandalf appeared was also the time when Odysseus was not in the herbal shop.

Although MI9 could not interrogate Kena, it could interrogate the residents and shop employees around the herbal medicine store.

Finally they got a relatively detailed schedule of Odysseus's visits to the herbal medicine shop in recent times.

Although the information about the "wizard" Gandalf is not so detailed, it is not difficult to find out from the dates that the two people have never appeared at the same time.

Coreymond thought for a while, and immediately called a member who was good at divination, and asked him to divine whether the wizard Gandalf would be at home tonight?

Because they had some information about the wizard Gandalf, the members who were good at divination made an astrolabe.

Theoretically, even though there is no information about Gandalf's hair or other things he often uses, it is still okay if you just want to do simple divination.

However, the members who were good at divination failed after divination twice.

Instead of being depressed, Coreymond was very happy, because no matter whether he was "divining" the "leader" or divination Odysseus, the result was the same: failure!

Coreymond was almost certain that that was another identity of Odysseus.

But to be on the safe side, we still need to confirm it. Of course, we can't go directly to Rose Street, as that will easily alert the target or the "Mechanical Heart".

However, in the extraordinary world, there are plenty of ways to confirm again.

Coreymond ordered to find the portrait of the wizard Gandalf!
Many people have seen this wizard, such as the servants in the former Viscount Wade and the current Baron Wade's house.

Without much effort, Coreymond got the portrait of Gandalf.

After staring at the portrait for two or three seconds, he was sure that this was Odysseus.

Although Odysseus's makeup skills are pretty good, the facial features hidden behind the costume cannot escape the eyes of the former "interrogator" and now "judge" Coreymond.

It was already past ten in the morning, and while Coreymond was dispatching his best surveillance personnel to monitor Gandalf from a distance, he immediately went to Celt's mansion to report his findings.

Celt was very happy after hearing the report and told Coreymond to go and catch the man without any worries, and he would deal with the questioning of the "Mechanical Heart".

Just then, a servant came to report that Gandalf had gone out and seemed to be meeting someone.

Celt immediately became serious: "Follow him and see who he is going to meet."

……

No. 66, Qiangwei Changjie.

Odysseus got up early, made final preparations, and after lunch, he went out with his wooden staff and a cloth bag in his hand. He boarded a rented carriage and first delivered a letter to the Backlund Mechanical Research Institute, then drove to the East District.

In the middle of Black Palm Street, Odysseus got off the car and stood there waiting quietly, indeed a bit like he was preparing to meet someone.

……

Minsk Street 15.

When Odysseus left, Klein also left.

He is going to Prince Edsac's Red Rose Manor today to tell the prince his "investigation results."

Or rather, he could learn more about the matter and then quickly leave Backlund under the pretext of vacation.

The process went very smoothly. Klein, now a "Faceless Man," made himself look older to prove that he had been working very hard recently. However, due to his lack of ability, the investigation could only stop here.

The prince didn't make things difficult for the great detective and politely asked the butler to send a carriage to take Klein away. Up to this point, everything had gone smoothly.

As Red Rose Manor receded further and further away, even Klein breathed a sigh of relief, believing he had left the "0-08" stage.

At this moment, an inspiration struck him, and he saw the door of the carriage open quickly and close silently.

Before Klein could respond, a figure quickly emerged. It was a girl wearing a heavy black dress and a sapphire ring.

The moment he saw the sapphire ring, Klein, who had already stood up, sat back down, not daring to act rashly.

That was a level 0 seal, and he knew that any resistance he had would be ineffective.

At this time, the figure completely appeared. The other person was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a slightly round face, narrow eyes, and a gentle temperament. She was an extremely outstanding beauty.

Klein was stunned at first, then he recognized her and blurted out, "Triss!"

They had met before in Tingen City. At that time, the beauty in front of them was called Tris, and she was still a man.

Triss was not surprised, but delighted: "I knew you knew me!
"Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to miss meeting you again and again because of various coincidences."

Klein asked cautiously, "What do you want to do?"

Triss pursed her lips and smiled. "It's simple. Report me to the Nighthawks, the Mandated Punishers, and the Mechanical Heart as soon as possible! Have them come here to arrest me!"

Klein was confused at first, but then he quickly understood: Triss would rather be imprisoned behind the Chanis Gate than stay in Red Rose Manor.

Then he asked in a deep voice: "What are you afraid of?"

Triss was stunned for a second, then her eyes widened: "Someone is manipulating my life!

"They also changed my name and made me... Triss Chick!"

Chick!

Klein immediately thought of the contents of one of Russell's diaries: ...The name of the "Original Witch" is Chike!

Just as terrifying conjectures flashed through his mind, Triss raised her right hand and let her slender white fingers slowly slide down her side. This action was so seductive that even the distracted Klein couldn't help swallowing.

Triss smiled with a hint of malice and said, "If you can tell the official Beyonders about this, and I happen to meet you before they capture me, I wouldn't mind letting you understand what true joy is."

After she finished speaking, her figure disappeared, and the door of the carriage opened and then closed.

It took a second or two for Klein to come back to his senses. "What...what am I thinking! What am I looking at? Who would dare?" If she suddenly awakens as the "Original Witch," even the "Fool" wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Then Klein quickly broke free from the influence of the "charm" and began to work hard to save himself!
He is back at the center of the stage of "0-08", and this time "0-08" will definitely have a deeper understanding of "Detective Sherlock" and will definitely find a way to get rid of him.

Klein took a deep breath and snapped his fingers. A dead branch on a nearby tree ignited, and the flames quickly rose higher. Klein's voice and figure disappeared from the car, and he walked out of the flames on the roadside.

Bang bang bang~
Klein snapped his fingers continuously, his figure constantly "flashing" in the sparse, withered woods, heading towards the nearest church at his fastest speed.

In addition, while running, he took out the Azik copper whistle from his pocket, put it in his mouth and blew it.

Silently, white bones emerged from the ground like a fountain, and a skeleton messenger over four meters tall took shape.

He had just found Mr. Azik's whereabouts, but because of "0-08" there, he had not dared to contact Mr. Azik. Now he could not care less and had to do everything he could to save himself.

Klein temporarily stopped "flashing" and took out the pen and paper he carried with him. He wrote a word: Help!

After the messenger disappeared, he assumed a prayer posture and briefly talked about Triss. Then he entered "Above the Gray Mist" and "sent" it to Audrey. In his capacity as the "Fool", he reminded Audrey that Chike was the name of the "Original Witch".

Klein, who was about to continue escaping, suddenly had a look in his eyes. He saw several flaming meteorites falling at high speed, covering the entire forest.

After Klein cursed a few times in his heart, a feeling of despair surged in his heart.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred in front of my eyes. Various colors suddenly became rich and superimposed together, as if forming a strange oil painting.

Amidst the rich colors, a figure emerged. He was of medium build, with bronze skin and soft features.

Klein said happily, "Mr. Azik!"

Azik waved his hand, indicating that now was not the time to reminisce. He grabbed Klein's arm and walked into the depths of the rich colors.

Everything around seemed like a phantom, rapidly retreating.

Klein had just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly felt Azik's hand, which was gripping his arm, tremble violently, as if its strength was unstable. Then Klein felt his body falling, and the rich colors gradually faded and disappeared.

He was somewhat dazed and saw that he was in an ancient ruin. There was an upward passage deep into the rock wall extending to a place beyond the reach of sight.

The next second, a figure appeared not far away. He had only one eye and his facial features were like a classical sculpture.

Klein narrowed his eyes: Ince Zangwill!
