chapter.6 The Pleasure Witch on the Run(2/2)
Aren’t the newcomers to the “divination house” dumbfounded?
"Well, where do you think this photo came from?"
Captain Dunn shook his head and motioned for them to continue reading the information while listening. Then in a low voice, he told a story that happened to another Nighthawk team...or rather an accident.
"The person who took this photo was a 'gravedigger' lady. This lady has a hobby of amateur photography, and thanks to her bringing her camera on board the escort ship, we were able to understand the appearance of this witch.
Leonard, do you think the church really didn’t try to find someone proficient in ritual magic to paint a portrait of this witch?”
"...Ritual magic failed? Anti-divination?" Leonard made a guess and continued to flip through the information at hand. Beside him, Klein stood silently and quietly, reading the written words with him.
"Currently, it seems that this possibility is the highest." Dunn nodded, "Okay, you have roughly read the information. You should be more or less aware of the danger of this fugitive witch... She took the lead in the planning of Dixi County.
There were many tragedies inside and outside the city, and a manor outside the city was destroyed. Even when he was arrested, there was a cunning and cunning backhand, which unknowingly confused the mind of the entire Nighthawk team, and finally escaped calmly."
"So that photo was secretly taken by Nighthawk after he was seduced by the witch?" Leonard showed his inappropriate curiosity.
"Confusing the mind is not a charm...well, the difference between the two is actually not very big. The former statement can better take care of the mood of the victims. But no matter what the reason was for the lady, she did try it.
It is said that she was slightly injured during the act of taking the photo, because the missing piece... Oh, it is the sealed object that you see in the photo that restrains the witch. It has the property of 'chasing light'. That one
The flash of Ms. Gravedigger's camera almost killed her."
...Sealed object? That thing that looks like a tentacle is also a sealed object? It looks quite...well, it looks pretty chic.
I just don’t know what level of sealed artifact it is. It’s not mentioned at all in the information. Maybe it’s because his confidentiality level is not high enough... Wait, that is to say, the Church of the Night has lost a sealed artifact with a confidentiality level of at least "3".
?
Klein calculated silently.
"That is to say, while chasing this witch, we have to work hard to recover the sealed artifact that she took away, right?" Leonard threw the information aside and put his hands in his pockets.
"...It's not this one, it's a set." Dunn paused for a moment, and when Leonard couldn't help but whistle in exclamation, he corrected and added, "One '2' level sealed artifact, one
'3' level sealed objects, among which the '2' level ones have already been seen in the photos. The '3' level one is about a large black bag that is over one and a half meters long. If you see something like this on weekdays,
You can pay more attention to the items...but my suggestion is, don't make any noise, don't disturb, report it immediately once you find it, and professionals will go to confirm it."
...Okay, two sealed items that were taken away by the "Witch", right?
Probably, maybe, maybe, they are all in the townhouse at No. 2 Daffodil Street in Tingen.
Kleinson closed his eyes helplessly, and then looked at the document spread out on the captain's desk, focusing on a few lines of seemingly inconspicuous small words.
"Witch" path Extraordinary... name, age unknown, specific identity unknown, suspected to be related to the Fourth Age witch family, master of some unknown ancient language... temporarily given the nickname "Mirror Witch" within the church...
Its abilities are mainly black flame, frost, and mirror spells... Hey, there is a bracket after this, indicating that it is ritual magic, and there is also a question mark?
...The items held include at least two powerful and dangerous sealed objects. One is in the shape of a staff, and its function is suspected of amplifying ritual black magic. The other has an unknown shape, and is speculated to have the ability to influence other people's cognition and fabricate hallucinations...
…
"Klein, what do you think?" Dunn asked in a gentle tone, seeming to notice that he was concentrating on reading silently.
"Captain, I have a question." Klein looked up, considered for a while, and said, "It's mainly about the 'Witch' path... This is the first time I've heard of this sequence. I don't know what I can do with my current authority.
How much relevant information have you learned? Moreover, this information does not indicate the serial level of the wanted 'witch'..."
After hearing this, Dunn nodded slowly.
"The confidentiality level of this part of the information is quite high. The Chanis Sect in Tingen City doesn't even have relevant backups. Maybe when you are promoted to captain, or an executor of the same level, you go to the temple for training.
I have just come into contact with it... At present, what I can say is probably only the part of the 'Gnosis Society' and the 'Witch Sect'."
After briefly introducing the situation of these two organizations (mainly to the newcomer Klein), Dunn seemed to hesitate for a moment, looked down at the memo on his desk, and thought about it for nearly half a minute.
Then he spoke.
"The following information mainly comes from the personal experiences of the Nighthawks team that faced the 'Mirror Witch' directly. You can select some for reference, but it is best not to mention it to others. After all... you have to consider it.
The mood of those victims of the Nighthawks."
Seeing that the captain was so solemn, Leonard and Klein nodded in agreement with heavy expressions. Especially the latter, the uneasiness in his heart almost turned into reality.
What a miserable experience this must be... He tried hard to avoid thinking of bloody and cruel images.
"As mentioned before, after the 'Mirror Witch' was captured by the Nighthawks team, she successfully confused the minds of almost all the team members and made them take the initiative to release her... In fact, according to the investigation of several senior deacons, the spirit of the witch was revealed
The one who was most seriously affected was actually the captain of that team... Well, like me, the Nighthawks captain was also a Sequence 7 'Nightmare' of the Sleepless Path.
At present, the remaining team members affected by the 'Mirror Witch' have almost returned to normal, and have provided oral evidence... They unanimously stated that they were all entered into a dream by the captain during the escort, and they talked about the 'Mirror Witch'
Related topics. Until yesterday, the captain of 'Nightmare' was still under the strong charm effect and stubbornly believed that the 'Mirror Witch' was his destined lover. But in fact, that captain was already married.
Family, even he should be a father by the winter of the second half of this year."
Klein couldn't help but glance at Leonard beside him, and saw in his eyes a sense of absurd horror similar to his own.
"Everyone was just affected by the witch's charm, and there were no casualties?" Leonard found it a bit incredible. Compared with the many encounters he had heard about and experienced that could be called tragic, this was already considered a miracle.
Good luck.
...So it seems that the "Mirror Witch" is quite kind? He muttered in his heart.
Dunn nodded.
"The affected team members have said that they clearly remember everything that happened on the transport ship, but each of them has changed unknowingly. They have become want to see more of the 'Mirror Witch', and want to see more of the 'Mirror Witch'
To get closer to her, even after the 'Mirror Witch' got rid of the spiritual suppression state of the 'Level 2' sealed object, everyone felt the joy and joy from the heart...
Yes, all the changes happened while the 'Mirror Witch' was sleeping. She didn't open her eyes or move, so she quietly captured four extraordinary people who fell in love with her... And according to those who witnessed her waking up...
The two Nighthawks said that they were very excited at the time, and even had the urge to crawl at the feet of the 'Mirror Witch'."
"...Could it be that 'Nightmare' tried to enter the dream of 'Witch', but was caught by the other party and had a strong suggestive influence? And this eventually led to 'Nightmare' being instigated by 'Witch' and entering the dream of the team members.
Spread the charming influence of 'Witch'?"
Leonard felt that he had grasped the truth, but such speculation was too shocking. At least he could not imagine that the "nightmare" who was good at controlling other people's dreams could actually be affected by the dreamer...
If the Extraordinaries of the Witch Path have similar abilities, wouldn't it be a killing move that completely overpowers the Sleepless Person Path?
"Theoretically... with the help of sealed objects, it might be possible to achieve such an effect."
Dunn seemed unwilling to say more on this delicate issue and quickly continued.
"However, thanks to the efforts of this Nighthawk team, we were able to obtain important information. The Holy Church initially defined the strength of the 'Mirror Witch' in the sequence 6 of the Witch Path. Well, I can't know the specific sequence name.
Say, you can remember that the Sequence 6 characteristics of the witch path are roughly the abilities recorded in the data, plus she is very beautiful in appearance, good at charming, and giving people pleasure..."
When Dunn said this, he seemed to feel that it was too straightforward, so he shook his head and added a warning.
"In short, remember this. The Sequence 6 witches are far beyond what you can deal with. If you find relevant clues, be sure not to alert the other party and come back to report cautiously. Do you understand?"
"Okay." "I understand." They both responded.
"It's probably okay. You can go back first... Oh, wait a minute, Klein, don't leave yet. Your previous funding application-"
…
After going through the unshakable "Wait a minute, there's something else" process again, Klein walked out of Captain Dunn's office, closed the door again with trembling hands, and turned around to go back to his clerk's office.
But before he took a few steps, he heard a familiar voice.
"Klein." Leonard, who had a poetic temperament, had not yet returned to his Gwent game. Instead, he leaned against the corridor partition of the captain's office and snapped his fingers at Klein who had just come out.
It can be seen that he deliberately waited until now.
"...What's the matter?" Klein was in a very complicated mood at this time, with too many thoughts tangled up in a knot, which made the expression on his face show a calmness that was almost numb.
"It's nothing, I just want to say hello to you." Leonard said with a faint smile, "Actually, I'm quite optimistic about you, and I'm looking forward to the day when you officially join us."
Did he see anything?
"Thank you...I will try my best."
Seemingly due to experiencing too much stimulation in a short period of time, Klein answered a little feebly. However, noticing that the other party did not seem to have any intention of ending the conversation, he could only cheer up and express his doubts appropriately.
"……Do you have any other questions?"
"You seem to be a little interested in witches?" The black-haired, green-eyed poet showed him a smile that any man could understand. He took a step closer and lowered his voice, "For the sake of my colleagues, I can tell you
The specific name of your Sequence 6 witch's potion... don't look at me with such a strange look, the captain almost said it directly, and I also have my own intelligence channels, so there is no need to worry about the confidentiality level."
When he mentioned the words intelligence channel, for some reason he seemed to have deliberately blurred the pronunciation, making it sound like he was humming it with a nasal voice.
"...Okay, then please do it." Klein made a gesture of listening.
Leonard was obviously very satisfied with the newcomer's success. He nodded slightly, maintained a suppressed volume, and spoke every word:
Chapter completed!
