Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 113 The Mutation of the Witch's Characteristics
The witch's heart pounded inside the bottle, and the patterns etched on its surface flickered incessantly. Soon, the heart began to deform, as if gradually degenerating, eventually resembling a human embryo of one or two weeks old.

Successful.

Luzer's spirituality gave him a positive indication. He dispelled the ritual, took Cecilia's arm, and placed her wound close to the bottle.

"Gurgle."

A sticky, nauseating sound followed, and from Cecilia's wound, a blood-red mass of flesh covered in fine black hair was slowly "squeezed" out. With a plop, the mass of flesh fell into the bottle.

Lu Ze saw that the clump of flesh covered in black hair quickly entangled itself around the flesh embryo in the bottle, enveloping it and fusing with it. Before long, the originally red embryo's surface was covered with fine black hair.

"really weird."

Cecilia looked at the contents of the bottle and frowned.

Lu Ze, on the other hand, breathed a long sigh of relief.

Through the eyes of the Mystic, he saw that the ominous blood energy that Ms. M had originally been clinging to Cecilia had now all remained in the bottle.

Finally, finally!
For this moment, Lu Ze had expended countless efforts and endured immense suffering. He prayed to evil gods, fought against high-ranking witches, and dealt with his colleagues. Finally, he succeeded in freeing his sister Cecilia from Ms. M's surveillance.

Cecilia was his biggest weakness. From this moment on, it's safe to say that Ms. M could no longer threaten him!
The goddess's black silk threads could last for a while longer, Lu Ze thought for a moment, then looked at his sister.

"How are you, Cecilia? Do you feel anything wrong with your body?"

"No, on the contrary, I feel much more relaxed."

Cecilia replied.

"That's good."

Lu Ze breathed a long sigh of relief. After a moment, he hesitated before speaking to his sister, "Cecilia, you're safe now. You can leave first, but if I can't defeat Ms. M, you should inform Captain Dunn."

"Brother, there's no need to say anymore."

Cecilia abruptly interrupted him, looking directly into Luze's eyes with her deep blue gaze. "I once considered giving you up, but this time I won't run away. We're siblings; we either live together or we die together. There's no other way!"

Her eyes and tone of voice both indicated that she was serious.

Luze looked at Cecilia's face. That face, somewhat similar to his own, held a resolute and determined expression. It was as if she were making amends for past regrets, as if she wanted to ensure she would have no more regrets in the future.

A surge of courage suddenly welled up within him, and he laughed heartily, tightly grasping his sister's somewhat rough little hand.

"Alright, then let's live together as siblings."

The brother and sister made up their minds, and Lu Ze began packing the box as a backup plan to prevent Ms. M from noticing anything amiss. Just then, he noticed that something was strange about the contents of the box.

What are the characteristics of the extract from Mrs. Sharon?

where it goes?

The extraordinary characteristic of the Witch Path Sequence 6 appeared as a dark purple crystal. Originally, that crystal was mixed in with a pile of miscellaneous items that Mrs. Sharon had taken, but it was now nowhere to be found in the box.

Lu Ze was slightly surprised. He carefully searched the box and suddenly discovered something unusual in the pile of miscellaneous items.

Among the miscellaneous items were Mrs. Sharon's dagger, as well as some cosmetics, banknotes, and other things. At this moment, the tip of the dagger had been stained a strange purple. Lu Ze picked it up and noticed that the hilt seemed to have turned a translucent purple.

The purple dagger swayed slightly, emitting a mesmerizing murmur, just like the crystal from before.

Could it be that Mrs. Sharon's characteristics have merged with the dagger?
Lu Ze was filled with surprise.

He had seen similar cases in the Night Watch's internal records. If an extraordinary characteristic is stored with certain objects for a long time, it might fuse with those objects, becoming an extraordinary item and possessing some of the corresponding abilities. In that case, wouldn't he have obtained another sealed artifact?

I just don't know what its specific effects are.

As Lu Ze pondered, he noticed that the black threads binding the brother and sister were gradually diminishing. It seemed that the goddess's protection was about to expire.

He thought for a moment, then handed the dagger and the bottle to Cecilia.

"Lu Ze, what's this?"

"That witch's extraordinary properties transformed into an extraordinary item. You're in the same sequence, so study how to use it. Quickly put it away!"

Lu Ze spoke quickly, and before the black threads could dissipate, he tidied up the scene and went downstairs with Cecilia.

As soon as the two stepped onto the floor of the first-floor living room, the last thread slowly dissipated, and Lu Ze returned to Ms. M's surveillance.

It's almost time; Ms. M could be back at any moment.

Luze winked at Cecilia, reminding her not to reveal anything, then pretended nothing had happened, picked up the human skin holy book, and stared at it intently.

He had been reading this holy book for some time now, and his potion had been largely digested.

He gradually realized that the essence of the "listener" sequence was actually a continuation of the "secret supplicant." Like a cultist praying to an evil god, the first thing he had to do was to pray to a hidden being, obtain a response, and thus establish a connection.

What happens after that?
Once a connection is established, the hidden presence will provide feedback, conveying information to the supplicant, whether it be knowledge or power. This process of the supplicant "accepting" this information can be considered as "listening."

This should be the essence of "listening".

I feel like I'm going further and further down the path of becoming a cult member.
Lu Ze thought to himself.

A few minutes later, footsteps sounded outside the door. Ms. M pushed open the door and walked into No. 6 Narcissus Street. When Lu Ze saw what she was wearing today, his eyebrows twitched subtly.

Because Ms. M was not wearing her usual flashy clothes today, but instead donned a rather mysterious white robe once again. Her crimson hair spilled out from the gap in her hood, and her golden eyes looked Lu Ze up and down.

She probably won't find out about Cecilia's affair.
Lu Ze and Ms. M looked at each other calmly, feeling a little nervous.

At the same time, he heard that the sounds coming from Ms. M had reached a very serious stage, with the tearing sounds far outweighing the healing sounds, indicating that her physical condition was not good.

"How's the potion digesting?"

Ms. M asked.

Compared to usual, she seemed somewhat impetuous.

"There are still some remnants."

Lu Ze answered cautiously.

"That's fine, let's leave it at that."

Unexpectedly, Ms. M immediately said, "Come with me now."

Lu Ze was taken aback.

Now?

Does that mean the final battle with Ms. M will begin tonight?
