Secret: The Witch's House Traitor

Inside the scaled-down model of the museum's first floor, a grey dot was flickering.

"There is an inanimate object in the nearest bathroom." One of the team members made a clear judgment.

"Dead leaves blown in by the wind?" said another team member, relaxing a little.

"possible."

"Let the security guards check it first. We must protect the safety of Roselle's diary at all times."

The two discussed it and made a decision.

On the second floor of the museum, right above the restored study, a ghost with oil paint on his face landed in front of Roselle's desk.

He reached out through the glass and grabbed the bookmark in the "Creative Manuscript" and the bookmark that looked like a child's doodle.

Lin Nuo was monitoring everything remotely and was somewhat amazed. Which cannon fodder had come here in the form of a spirit to steal the bookmark?

Whether this card of blasphemy is a trap depends on this guy's luck in the future.

Wow!Wow!Wow!

When the spirit succeeded and was about to get other bookmarks, a loud and shrill baby cry suddenly echoed in the exhibition hall.

It was so unreal, as if it came from somewhere very far away.

A series of black gaps formed an iron fence that descended. The black slits opened one after another, and one strange eyeball after another appeared in the air, staring at the prisoners inside.

"Game over."

Lin Nuo watched the spirit being frozen quickly along with his live broadcast screen as if it had encountered extremely low temperatures. He observed a second of silence for the sacrificed little spider, then picked up the steaming hot black tea on the table and took a sip.

"It's really a trap..."

Although there are a few surviving spiders in other rooms that can provide long-range vision, they are of little use in the face of large-scale AOE damage.

Lin Nuo crossed his legs leisurely and snapped his fingers, using the fire started by the man on the first floor to put out the fire.

Unlike Lin Nuo who was at ease, Klein was in a terrible state at this moment. He even had difficulty sensing the existence of the spiritual world.

"Why did you only take the bookmark?" A soft but emotionless female voice came into Klein's ears.

On the top step of the stairs sat a figure shrouded in darkness.

"Why did you just take the bookmark? How did you know to take the bookmark?"

The figure asked again, with a hint of severity in his gentle tone. The bloodshot eyeballs around him expanded rapidly, as if to occupy the entire space.

I didn't even notice her presence... a high-sequence expert!

Klein narrowed his eyes slightly, and a big smile suddenly appeared on his painted face.

His illusory and almost transparent figure disappeared in an instant, and no one knew where he went!

Even the Azik copper whistle and two bookmarks wrapped in his spirit body disappeared!

The faint crimson moonlight shone in from the window. Seeing the figure suddenly disappear, Bernadette stared silently in front of the desk, looking at where Klein was originally.

Her pair of azure blue eyes had obviously lost focus, and they were blank and extremely deep. However...even the master of prophecy could not determine the direction where the figure disappeared.

But it doesn’t matter. She can’t peek into the river of fate or the secrets of fate, but at least she can peek into what her next best choice is.

Chapter 160 Hello, Miss

Minsk district number 16.

Lin Nuo sat at the table and picked up an egg tart that Anna had carefully baked.

He didn't care at all whether the Fool had actually succeeded or not.

According to the last scene, the unfortunate spirit had obviously touched the bookmark. Whether the Fool finally pulled it back into the gray fog or abandoned it was none of his business.

He picked up the tea, took a sip and began to think intently.

"I didn't even notice the person who made the move. He must be at least a high-sequence Beyonder. His path is more towards the spiritual realm of the spirit world, not the realistic style of the royal family and the Mechanicus."

"The Church of Darkness and the Church of Storms can also be ruled out. The actions of these two churches have obvious personal styles. So are they demigods of the fortune-teller path?"

"Is Intis's secret society or some other force?"

Lin Nuo put down his teacup and planned to draw a relationship diagram to assist in the analysis. He looked up and found that a lady with long chestnut hair had appeared opposite him.

She was wearing a girlish yellow cake skirt, an old-fashioned black soft hat, and fine plaid tulle hanging down to cover her face. She was sitting opposite Lin Nuo and staring at him quietly, but Lin Nuo didn't notice anything unusual just now.

Lin Nuo's pupils constricted and his heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment. A layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, but he did not act rashly.

This outfit is the same as the lady I met in the museum during the day? So I fell into her sight at that time?

Is she the saint behind this? She suspects that I have something to do with the thief?

"Hello, ma'am. I hope you enjoy this freshly brewed Marquis tea."

Lin Nuo's thoughts raced. He suppressed his inner fear and maintained his elegance and grace to greet the other person. He picked up a teacup and poured a cup of black tea for the other person enthusiastically and politely.

"Why would you try to destroy that bookmark?"

Uh... Lin Nuo rolled his eyes and wanted to test the waters first, but the other party did not give him this opportunity.

"That bookmark was just stolen."

Bernadette said calmly as she recalled Lin Nuo's information.

For the mysterious queen, it was not difficult to investigate an ordinary person's information in one day. She was quite satisfied that the other party did not rush to launch a meaningless counterattack or try to waste time escaping.

So she took the cup of Marquis black tea on the table and calmed someone's pounding heart a little.

"Dear lady, I am an honest person and will not deceive you. Someone has issued a task for 500 pounds and entrusted me to test the bookmark."

"I don't know the identity of that person, and I received the mission through a mysterious intermediary. I admit that I was very curious about the bookmark, and I left some small things to get some information, but you should know that the spider was accidentally killed."

Lin Nuo was smart enough to confess. The opponent was so mysterious that he was no match for him. What's more, he was too unlucky. The spiders and bats were released only after they left the museum. How could they have found their nest?

Bernadette's eyes flashed. The other party was telling the truth, but he was still not honest and was doing a lot of small tricks in secret.

"I didn't hurt your pets."

Lin Nuo's face turned bitter when he heard what the chestnut lady said. He could feel that the pigeons flying out from the roof were caught by invisible hands.

He said with some helplessness and sadness, and with trepidation and anxiety:

"I'm sorry, ma'am, to make you laugh."

"I will do my best to answer your questions from now on. Please don't hurt a poor little person like me."

Lin Nuo sighed resentfully as he spoke, and he gently pushed the silver plate on the table over.

"Since you can find my residence, you must also know about my family situation."

"These are the snacks carefully prepared for me by my maid. She is a sunny and cheerful girl. I hope they will suit your taste."

"Of course... If you don't think I'm being presumptuous, may I know your name? You must be a great man whom I could only look up to and admire in the past, right?"

Lin Nuo coaxed the unknown lady respectfully and carefully, while secretly sending a distress signal to the White Saint through prayer in his heart.

As for why I didn't pray to Mr. Fool... Although Mr. Fool wouldn't kill me... But a wild god who hasn't returned yet doesn't seem very reliable...

He cannot come down now, so what else can He do except kill me? Can He kill the woman in front of him?

"The ageless witch is about to arrive, so let's make this short."

"My name is Bernadette Gustave, you can also call me the mysterious queen."

Bernadette picked up a piece of egg tart and took a bite. Information streams flashed in her eyes and some fragments of the future emerged in her mind. The Sequence Three Prophet was so unreasonable.

"The chess game of time."

Bernadette took out a "Queen" chess piece from Roselle chess and placed it on the round mahogany table. The tea set and food on the table disappeared, and the tabletop turned into a huge chess game.

Its function is to slow down the flow of time in the surrounding area.

"Want a plate?"

Bernadette said as she held a black chess piece.

"The rules of playing Roselle chess have not been passed down..."

Lin Nuo felt the change in the speed of time and complained quietly.

"Oh, Miss Bernadette, the white player goes first, what are you doing?"

Lin Nuo was about to continue complaining when his eyes jumped violently. Bernadette actually broke the rules and played black first. How did Russell teach her? In chess, the white player plays first, but in modern Go, the black player plays first.

"Don't you know the rules of the game?"

"Why don't you call me the Mysterious Queen? What's the name for Miss?"

Bernadette took back the black rook chess piece and took off her old-fashioned black soft hat. Her straight eyebrows extended just right, making her look very heroic.

"Actually, I should technically call you princess, but I think you probably don't like that title."

"If calling you the mysterious queen seems a bit too strange, I'll call you Miss as a compromise."

Lin Nuo picked up the white chess piece and started the game by jumping the horse with an excited and joyful look as if he had seen his idol.

"Are you a descendant of the nobility of the Intis Empire?"

Bernadette also started with the dark horse with a calm expression.

"My full name is Lino Abraham. Benjamin Abraham, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse under Emperor Roselle, is my elder."

After Lin Nuo knew that the other party was Roselle's daughter, the nervousness in his heart subsided a little, and he really pulled a fellow tribesman who was not related to her at all to establish friendship with her.

Lin Nuo said as he pushed out the second horse piece.

"Descendants of Abraham? Uncle Benjamin has no children..."

Bernadette picked up a black chess piece and glanced at Lin Nuo indifferently. She couldn't think of a more appropriate name for the time being, so she let Lin Nuo call her that.

"How much do you know about the stolen bookmarks? Why did the other party only steal bookmarks?"

"I wasn't very clear before, but now I have a vague guess. Maybe there is a blasphemous card hidden in the bookmark?"

"The stolen bookmark was among a pile of the emperor's early manuscripts, which depicted the emperor wearing imperial clothing."

"Miss, is that the Black Emperor card?"

Lin Nuo took two steps forward holding the chess piece and asked curiously.

"Maybe. Since you've been exposed to it before, you can take a look at this. They always have some similarities."

After Bernadette finished her move, she pushed a poker card to Lin Nuo.

"Wheel of Fortune?!"

Lin Nuo exclaimed when he saw the two Ouroboros on Roselle's clothes.

This is actually understandable. It is impossible that Russell did not leave something for his daughter, and he was also very tactful not to reach out and touch it.

"It's your turn."

Bernadette said calmly without even looking at the blasphemous card that could be considered a divine object beside the chessboard.

"Oh, sorry, I got distracted."

Lin Nuo smiled shyly and walked the soldier forward.

"How much do you know about the man who issued the commission?"

Bernadette castled the king and protected him in the middle.

"Miss, what sequence are you in now?"

Lin Nuo sent away a soldier and asked seriously.

"Path of the Secret Peer, Sequence 3, Master of Prophecy."

Bernadette seemed to know what Lin Nuo meant. She first ate one of Lin Nuo's horses, and then said it without hiding anything.

"Then don't keep asking. That's not good for you or me."

Lin Nuo did not take any of Bernadette's pieces and planned to play a draw.

"Oh? What if I become a sage?"

Bernadette only left Lino with a king that had no way out and ended the game by forcing a draw.

"Miss, what do you want to do? It's just a useless card of blasphemy..."
