Oops, I became the witch's substitute

Afterwards, Fili still felt a little sympathy for them. After all, the same thing happened to her, although only half of it happened. But after empathizing with them, Fili realized that everyone had similar pain.

"These girls are..."

“It used to be men.”

"They are having a great time, look over there."

In the corner of the tavern, there were two spies hugging and kissing each other, like best friends. It would have been fine if you didn't know the truth, but it was still quite heartbreaking to know the truth.

Since they were all men once, even though their bodies were changed by the potion, their sexual orientation has not changed. But the brothers who came with them have become more in line with their aesthetics. What should they do?

Fili made the sign of the cross on her chest devoutly. She admitted that she had committed a sin in this matter, but this was a magical world, so she just let it go.

Investigating the magician in the identity of Filin, he quickly obtained information and confirmed that it was indeed the scumbag Aquaman. He relied on his identity as a transcendent to play with women's feelings and then abandon them. He seemed to enjoy it and was proud of it.

It was quite easy for Fili to act in the dark. She learned that the wizard was from Kalan and had kept himself safe when his motherland was in danger, so Fili wrote a short story.

A wizard pursued a succubus. At that time, Kalan was invaded by demons. Many strong men served their country at the cost of their lives. After the failure, many people would rather die than surrender. During this period, the succubus advised the wizard to jump into the lake and die for the country. The wizard walked to the lake and couldn't get hard. He touched the lake water and sighed, "The water is too cold." He also advised the succubus not to be too extreme. Finally, he survived in the world and came to Miriam.

The story was simply adapted. Fili pointed all kinds of details to the wizard, and when spreading the rumor, she deliberately spread it among the wizard's popular circle of contacts. This rumor almost named the wizard's ID card, which quickly aroused discussion among people.

After a few days, ordinary residents in the border city also got the news and started talking about it. Everyone was there to watch the fun. But as long as someone casually said "bad character", it was enough for the wizard to get angry. And "the water is too cold" was too classic and easy to remember, so it became a kind of fun. People couldn't help laughing when they mentioned this story while drinking and chatting, and they began to spread it spontaneously.

On the tenth day, Fili and Arabelle finalized their cooperation, studied which cities to purchase shops in, and signed the contract. Then they received news about the wizard.

His reputation deteriorated rapidly, and his bad conduct made him despised by everyone after being exposed. He lost face in the social circle. He went to settle the score with the succubus girl immediately, but was seduced by Arabelle and ran naked into the street. After being baptized by the short essay, a wave of elephants came to parade in the streets. His limited face was completely lost, and he wished he could live on another planet.

After listening to his subordinates' report, Arabelle happily shook hands with Fili and said, "The mage packed his bags and left the border city this morning. Judging from his direction, he will not stay in Miriam. That's all."

Fili said it was just a piece of cake, as long as Arabelle was satisfied.

Arabelle clasped her hands together and said, "We are going to hold a concert soon. Are you interested in singing on stage? I personally would like to invite you. The Witch of Falsehood will be there. This way, when we promote cosmetics to the nobles and wealthy, we can say that Miss Witch is also using them."

Chapter 203 Midnight Piano Sound

Fili was agreed to perform on the Succubus's stage. She did not want to perform formally, but wanted to go on stage on an impromptu basis to give the audience a witch-like familiarity. However, two days before the agreed date, Fili and her friends saw the owner of the theater wiping his sweat with a headache at the theater.

This is a traditional wealthy businessman with a big belly, the owner of the opera house, who frequently wipes his sweat with his handkerchief during his negotiations with Arabelle, feeling deeply sorry.

"I'm so sorry that this happened just before the performance..." The old boss felt particularly embarrassed, fearing that Arabelle would be unhappy.

They had only seen the ways Arabelle tortured people. Other people's business wars often involved directly climbing over the wall to steal information, or attempting to imprison the opponent's boss and using violence to threaten to achieve business goals, but succubi were like cutting flesh with a blunt knife. The rumor that the water was too cold quickly led to the social death of a magician, which was really scary.

It’s better to have fewer experiences that make you so embarrassed that you wish you could live on another planet.

"So what happened? Why was it postponed?" Arabelle held her face in her hands. She was not a devil and would not retaliate against anyone over a disagreement. She had cooperated with this boss on several performances. From the beginning when the occupancy rate was less than half, to now when it was full, the other party also made a lot of money. The cooperation between the two sides was quite pleasant. There were not many big customers in the border cities who could contract the opera house as frequently as the succubi.

"The opera house seems to be haunted..." The businessman hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to explain the reason.

A week ago, there were sudden reports from the opera house that just after midnight every day, the piano in the opera house would play itself. The sound of the piano was sad and mournful, and the listeners fell into a coma without knowing it. After waking up the next day, they were listless. After examination, it was said that they had consumed too much energy.

Although it is a magical world, there are also ghosts. Ghosts are ghosts and spirits are spirits. The ghosts that people here often talk about are an unstable concept, which usually encompasses many phenomena, most of which are supernatural events with unknown causes that will bring bad luck.

Because there are so many things that can be funny, if ordinary people just throw out the concept of a ghost, no one would be able to analyze it.

Arabelle immediately suspected her old rival: "Could this be revenge from the nightmares?"

"It really is a ghost." The boss wiped his sweat. "Last night, I hired mercenaries as guards and waited in the theater together. I happened to see this incredible scene. Just after midnight, the piano started playing by itself. I also felt something walking around on the stage, as if something invisible was dancing."

Arabelle crossed her arms and looked at the boss suspiciously. He had a magical talent, but it was only slightly better than an ordinary person, probably because he spent money when he was young. "Then how come you are fine?"

The boss took out a beautiful little bear amulet and said, "This is all thanks to the witch amulet I bought before. As expected, the amulet blessed by a real witch is very powerful and resisted the mysterious erosion. But the bodyguards and mercenaries are not so lucky. They still call themselves professionals, but today they can't get out of bed because of lack of energy."

Fili and Carol came over and took a look at the amulet. They found that it was actually real. It was small and cute in shape and pink in color. Then the merchant hung it around his waist. The style of the painting was really a bit strange.

But for magic props, don’t worry about the appearance, as long as it is purple quality or above and has special effects, it’s fine.

Arabelle immediately started to brag about her business relationship: "This is a bit strange, but it just so happens that one of the guests I invited is a witch, so let her investigate."

The fat businessman's eyes lit up. "Really? Miss Arabelle?"

Arabelle made way for Fili to come to the front. "Of course, this is Fili. I'm sure you've heard some of her stories. It just so happens that Miss Fili is our guest here."

"The cunning witch, the faceless witch, Miss Fili?" The fat businessman couldn't help but stand up straighter.

Fili was speechless for a moment: "No, no matter what, shouldn't my public title be the Witch of Falsehood?"

The fat businessman was at a loss: "Huh? Is that so? I'm sorry I don't know the details. Your deeds are too mysterious. In ordinary countries, there are all kinds of rumors about you and different titles..."

After a little inquiry, Fili finally found out what had happened. It turned out that she was known as the Witch Protector of the Nation in Kalan. With the end of the war, Guina spread her deeds. After she had the merit of saving the light elves and averting the world-destroying disaster, Kalan spread this title.

In fact, this is not a very impressive statement. It is just like the National Sword Saint and the National Dragon. It is just a slightly special honorific.

In the theocracy of Arius, for some unknown reason, Marian always described Fili as a cunning witch. In Miriam, there were rumors that Fili's true appearance was unknown, or that Fili had a different appearance every time she was seen, so she was given the title of the Faceless Witch.

Fili was a little bit strange. She was a little hidden because of the power of Tao, but her true identity shouldn't be unknown, right?

Carol tugged at Fili's sleeve and pulled her aside. "You may not be aware of this. Since Fili often uses Fili's name when participating in activities, I occasionally use your name when selling alchemical items. Then, people who come to the Black Cat Pavilion often mistake her for a witch, and this strange rumor arises."

Fili frowned helplessly: "What do you mean by admitting the wrong witch? Can you admit the wrong witch?"

Today, the past of the Black Cat Pavilion is no longer a secret. People have researched and found out that the first job that made Fili famous when she first arrived was to expel the ghost of the Black Cat Pavilion. That night, hundreds of ghosts roamed the night and the neighbors were unable to sleep. People are still impressed by it. After careful investigation, they found that Fili actually accepted some recruitment commissions in the association, and people often came to her for help.

Not long ago, Fili officially posted a sign at the Adventurer's Guild to accept commissions, and many people mistook Scathach for Scathach, who was traveling back and forth between the Black Cat Pavilion and the Guild. Although it was clarified in time, the people seeking help became even more face-blind after arriving at the Black Cat Pavilion. Looking around, everyone was a witch. Some mischievous witches simply called themselves Fili and completed the unimportant commissions.

Fili gently waved her hand: "No, why would they pretend to be me?"

"Maybe it's for fun? Especially after completing the mission, they will reveal their identities just to see the client's stunned expression. This has become a trend in the small circle. I thought you condoned it." Carol has also participated in it. It's not surprising that she was mistaken for a witch with her appearance. "Then do you want to stop it?"

Fili spread her hands and said, "It's not necessary. The fake Fili helps me solve these trivial matters, and the real Fili always hides behind the scenes. In a sense, it fits my behavior. But I have to pay more attention to it and control it in the future, so as not to be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives."

Afterwards, the three of them asked the fat businessman for some details about the midnight piano music and decided to wait and see tonight. After all, in their opinion, this lineup was a combination of three heroes working together, which would shock even the gods. There were very few urban legends that could enjoy such "enormous wealth".

In Arabelle's opinion, it would be easy for the three of them to deal with a ghost, and they never expected that things would be so troublesome afterwards.

Chapter 204: It Turns Out to be a Banshee

At midnight, in the theater, as time went by, the fat businessman asked all irrelevant people to leave early, leaving Fili and others to guard the theater. The three of them stood in the corridor bored, waiting for the moment when the piano sounded in the house.

The three of them hid their auras, making it difficult for ordinary creatures to detect them. Later, they discovered that ghosts could basically be physically exorcised, so no one was nervous. Arabelle was even bored enough to peel oranges and feed one each to Fili and Carol.

Arabelle is quite proud of her industry: "This will be our stage in a few days. What kind of song are you going to sing, Fili?"

Fili's mind was not on this, and the business here was just the tip of the iceberg of what she wanted to do: "I don't have any good ideas yet. Do you have any recommendations? Do people nowadays like traditional classical songs that are more literary, or something else?"

Arabelle said as if she hadn't said anything: "I recommend singing songs with witch flavor."

Fili thought for a moment and said, "How about the song of destruction?"

Arabelle was curious: "Are you serious? You just came back from a place like Kalan. Is it appropriate for you to sing the theme song of destruction? Or relief and destruction have some religious connotations. If it's a witch, you can make up a mushroom song on the spot."

Fili didn't take the idea of ​​performing seriously, but when it came to songs suitable for witches, she thought of some classic songs she had heard in her previous life: "Then the world's number one witch."

Arabelle clapped her hands. "Number one in the world" sounds like witch pride.

Carol felt a little disappointed: "Do you have any ideas for the song about the destruction of the world you just mentioned? It sounds interesting. What kind of song can be sung about such an interesting thing as the destruction of the world?"

Fili was slightly surprised: "You can sing too?"

Carol nodded: "Of course, who do you think I am? A genius alchemist, what can't I do? Even if I don't know it now, I can learn it soon if I study."

The next second, a light and soft piano sound came from the theater. The melody was pretty good, but there was a feeling of being out of breath, as if it had no strength to play and was about to disappear.

Carol didn't reject ghosts. Their existence was a reasonable phenomenon. Alchemy had a relatively systematic understanding of the existence of ghosts and the like. "Come on, come on. What type do you think this ghost is? Is it the usual kind that is bound by obsession? Or is it the kind that has been wronged and cannot be reborn for a long time?"

Fili shook her head: "Of course I'll see first."

Arabelle took out a gold coin and said, "I'll bet it's an injustice. Something must have happened that we don't know about, otherwise this kind of thing wouldn't happen suddenly."

Arabelle's guess was not wrong. Supernatural events often occurred in certain places over a long period of time. If there was something strange in the theater, it should have caused trouble long ago. It would not have happened suddenly in the last few days.

Carol also took out a gold coin: "Then I'll bet on another possibility."

Fili looked at the two gold coins in her left and right hands, and took one out of her pocket: "Then I guess there is a third possibility, maybe the ghosts just think it's fun?"

In the middle of the night, strange piano sounds were heard from the empty theater. These elements were quite scary, but as Arabelle snapped her fingers, the whole stage was filled with magic. After all kinds of lights flashed, the scary elements suddenly became lively and the piano sound over there was suddenly interrupted.

"Huh, huh, huh? What happened? What happened?" As the environment changed, surprised cries came from the piano.

Fili and the other two quickly gathered around and found a translucent girl sitting in the pianist's position, with a look of surprise on her face.

Fili landed in front of the zither player: "Hello, can we communicate, girl?"

The girl nodded fearfully: "Yes, of course. It would be strange if we can't. Who are you? Are you thieves? I'm going to tell the owner of the theater..."

Arabelle immediately said, "The boss has been scared by you and dared not show up. So why did you attack the person who showed up before?"

The girl was a little confused: "Attack, what are you talking about?"

Carol said: "The body appears at a specific time, in a light blue transparent state, and is obsessed with the piano and can talk, but the memory is a little confused. So, little girl, do you know that you are dead?"

The girl thought for a moment and suddenly realized something: "I think you have misunderstood. I am not dead. I am just sleeping now. I can still live a good life during the day."

Such words cannot generally be believed when coming from a ghost's mouth. Most ghosts only believe what they believe.

Fili returned to the topic: "So, why are you playing the piano?"

The girl lowered her head and gently stroked the piano: "My father is a skilled craftsman who made this piano. It is a matter of pride that his work can be displayed in such a big theater. So I have been looking forward to being on such a stage since I was a child. My dream is to sing here and be recognized by the audience."

As soon as these words were spoken, Fili and the other two understood. It seemed that if they fulfilled the girl's wish, she could pass away peacefully. Considering that the performance in a few days would be more important, it would be better to let the ghost leave first.

Arabelle was a kindhearted person. It was okay for a ghost like this to be a little obsessed. It would be a good deed if I helped her accomplish it. "If you're willing, we can meet your request."

The girl showed a surprised expression: "Would you like to listen to me sing?"

Arabelle sat in the nearest audience seat: "Of course, now you treat us as your audience and show off your singing skills."

The atmosphere was originally good, but when the topic of singing was mentioned, the ghost girl's body suddenly glowed red and she looked a little excited.

Fili suddenly had a bad premonition, which soon came true. She silently snapped her fingers in her ears and activated a magic that could block out sound.

Carol clenched a talisman that was immune to mind control.

Only Arabelle sat there without any preparation.

Then a burst of sound spread out from the piano. Fili vaguely saw the shock wave formed by the piano sound sweeping across the entire venue. Then Carol showed an expression as if she had a toothache, and Arabelle's expression fell into a regretful daze.

Although Fili couldn't hear the music, she saw the performance of the ghost girl. She was still a quiet lady a few seconds ago, but now she had disheveled hair and was shaking her head violently while playing the music. It didn't sound like she was playing the piano, but more like she was playing heavy metal rock. The whole stage was bound by the ghost's obsession, and magic was surging.

You can imagine what it feels like for a young person who has just broken up with his love to sing with a tone-deaf voice, "I'll love you even if I die!!!" The girl's singing cannot be said to be tone-deaf, it can only be said to be a broken gong. Under the blessing of magic, only the suona can suppress it with all its strength.

After singing, the girl quickly returned to her quiet state from the death metal, and even looked at everyone with a bit of shyness and expectation: "Well, what do you think? Can it move people?"

You sang very well. Don’t sing like that next time.

Fili leaned back. At this moment, she finally knew what type of ghost the girl was. She was actually a banshee. The singing just now combined with the traditional attack method of the banshee, just like the singing of the sirens on the sea, had a bewitching effect. People who got lost in the singing would most likely lose their energy.

But can such singing really make people lost?

Chapter 205: Originally alive, now he might be really dead

After the ghost finished singing, Arabelle said that you were the first to start the fight, and then she re-educated Miss Ghost, in short, she punched and kicked her, and kept muttering why she hadn't ascended to heaven, trying to stuff her back into a certain world.

Undead creatures exist all over the world, and ordinary people also know a few tricks to expel the undead, but whether they are effective or not is another matter, and the strength of the undead creatures is another matter as well.

Now Arabelle was in a dilemma. No matter how hard she punched and kicked, the ghost girl showed no signs of passing away. Well, it was punching and kicking, but in fact, she was using various magic to save the soul. It was just that the ghost girl seemed to be deeply obsessed and showed no signs of becoming a Buddha.

"Stop shaking it, my neck is going to break. I'm really not dead!"

"No, you're dead, don't lie to yourself."

"Really do not have!"

"Poor kid, just stand there and don't move. The next move will definitely send you to heaven without any pain."

Unfortunately, it was shrouded in a burst of holy light and quickly dissipated, perfectly illustrating what "smoke but no harm" meant. The ghost girl was fine.

Arabelle wiped the sweat from her forehead, puzzled.

"What is your obsession? I've used prayers from several churches." Arabelle was depressed. She felt unwell after listening to the ghost girl's song just now.

Her main reason might be that she was attacked by the singing, and her secondary reason might be that the girl asked her to be a temporary teacher.

In short, the girl's obsession is to stand on this stage. Since the three people said that her singing is not good, then she asks the three people to teach her. After all, Fili and the other two are obviously SSR characters who can sing.

Of course, when the girl expressed this wish, Arabelle acted as if she wanted to push her back into the bucket, so Felli and Carol turned their heads away and let Arabelle pass away peacefully as a ghost, but they failed.

Fili was puzzled. Arabelle's methods were standard and there was no difference when compared with the priests and saints of the big church.
