Chapter 158 The Enchanting Slut

Chapter 158: The Enchanting Slut

Delia didn't notice anything wrong and was still comforting her father: "It's okay, I'll just go change my clothes."

Verdu stayed in the classroom for a while, waited for his daughter to change clothes and came back, and then left the classroom after apologizing to his daughter and the teacher.

After the classroom door was closed, Verdu almost trotted downstairs to the reception room where Odysseus was waiting: "Mr. Wizard, as you said, there are wounds on the inside of Delia's arms and legs."

He then briefly described the verification process.

After hearing this, Odysseus nodded slightly and said, "In this way, I can confirm my guess."

By now, Verdu was already convinced by the wizard in front of him and was waiting for his instructions.

Odysseus paused and said, "Have someone prepare a full-length mirror that is more than one meter tall. It should be sturdy. Also prepare a piece of opaque cloth that is big enough to cover the entire mirror."

Verdu went out again, and soon two male servants came in carrying a tall solid wood full-length mirror, and a maid came in holding a piece of black cloth.

Under Odysseus's command, the sofa and coffee table were moved aside and a full-length mirror was placed in the center of the room.

Odysseus took out the spiritual materials and pen that he had prepared long ago, and began to draw magic circles on the back and sides of the mirror.

After York and Verdu saw those mysterious symbols, although they didn't know what they were, they looked very powerful, and they became more confident in Mr. Wizard's next actions.

The magic circle is almost drawn, with only the mirror surface left with nothing written on it.

Odysseus temporarily put the pens and spiritual materials aside, and then directed everyone to lift the mirror to a corner of the room, where it could not be seen from outside the door.

"Now there is only one last thing left." Odysseus said, "Find a reason to call Delia here. She cannot have any doubts before she enters the room and sees this mirror."

Verdu thought for a moment and said, "There's still more than half an hour before her get out of class is over. I can call the two children down and tell them to come and see Uncle York Elton."

Odysseus said: "What happens next may be a little scary, make sure you bring the other child along."

Verdu took a deep breath and said, "It would be good to let him gain some experience."

Odysseus nodded and said, "Okay, you all need to be mentally prepared. No matter what happens next, don't panic."

Verdu and York both nodded in agreement. They thought they had seen many storms and would not panic.

After waiting for another half an hour, Verdu went out to look for Delia.

Odysseus hid beside the mirror and could only be seen after entering the room.

A few minutes later, Odysseus and York heard Verdu talking and laughing with his son and daughter coming to the door. York in the house took a deep breath and was somewhat nervous.

The door was opened and Verdu came in first. He was somewhat nervous, but he was walking in front and was not exposed.

"Come, say hello to Uncle Elton." Verdu said with a forced smile.

Bang!

Just as the three people continued to move forward and walked towards York, the door suddenly closed.

Almost at the same time, Odysseus in the corner threw out a handful of white powder and shouted, "Delia Jackson!"

In fact, he didn't need to shout like that, he just needed to sprinkle the powder, but for the sake of performance, he still solemnly shouted out Delia's full name.

Everyone looked at the mirror at once. Verdu and York almost fell to the ground. Their eyes passed through the sparse white powder and saw the image in the mirror.

There were surprised expressions on the faces of Delia and Verdu's youngest son, but behind Delia, there was a very charming female figure.

The woman had a charming smile and her eyes seemed to emit electricity, which made her look very eye-catching.

But its body was soft, and its limbs were like those of a mollusk, naturally wrapped around Delia's limbs, with its hands wrapped around Delia's elbows and its feet wrapped around her knees.

The white powder sprinkled by Odysseus, after making the evil woman appear, seemed to be blown by a gust of wind and suddenly turned into two white and somewhat illusory ropes, one end of the rope rolled towards Delia.

The smile on the "evil woman"'s face disappeared, she opened her mouth, revealing her fangs, and let out a roar, but before she could "get off" Delia's body, the ropes entangled her neck and shoulders.

The other end of the illusory rope was thrown into the mirror by Odysseus.

Immediately afterwards, a huge suction force seemed to appear in the mirror, pulling the rope and quickly entering the mirror.

The "evil woman" struggled hard while making creepy noises, and was pulled quickly towards the mirror by the rope, but it did not let go of Delia, so they were pulled over together.

Odysseus imbued his long wooden staff with spirituality and hit the "evil woman" hard on the back.

The "evil woman" let out a scream and let go of Delia.

Odysseus took this opportunity to use his staff to push it into the mirror, and then sprinkled a handful of black powder, and the mirror surface suddenly became less bright.

Boom, boom, boom~

The solid wooden mirror was shaking violently. The "evil woman" found that she could not use the "world in the mirror" to escape and was trapped in this mirror.

So York, Verdu and others saw a very strange scene. There was an "evil woman" pounding the mirror, like a prisoner who wanted to leave prison.

Odysseus picked up the spiritual materials and pen again, and quickly wrote complex or simple mystical symbols on the mirror.

He tried hard to concentrate and not look at the "evil woman", because it would be easy to be affected by the "charm" with just one look.

The black powder can only play a blocking role for a certain period of time, and ultimately it is necessary to use a magic circle to seal the opponent in the mirror.

But Odysseus was still affected to some extent, because the eyes of that "evil woman" were so beautiful that people wanted to look at them a few more times.

Even Odysseus, a Extraordinary Being, was attracted by it. Verdu and others were already blushing and were ready to rush over to pull the wizard away and rescue the "evil lady".

Fortunately, Odysseus had already prepared the corresponding medicine. He threw the glass bottle containing the medicine to the ground, and the room was immediately filled with a foul odor.

The stench was like the stinkiest fart anyone had ever smelled, or like the stench of severely spoiled food like meat or eggs. In short, no one in the room had ever smelled a stinkier odor.

So Verdu and the others no longer cared about the "evil lady" and squatted on the ground to vomit.

Odysseus could not help but dry heave, but as he did so, his hands moved faster and faster. He quickly wrote the last mystical symbol and injected spirituality into the correct position.

The scene in the mirror immediately became blurry, and the face of the "evil woman" could not be seen clearly, so he would not be affected by her.

Finally, Odysseus covered the mirror with a black cloth and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the full-length mirror over there would not cause any impact to the outside world except for the occasional "dong dong dong~" vibration and sound.

Verdu and the others were still vomiting, and it was no longer possible to stay in this room. Odysseus opened the window and then the door, and asked the servants to help the people inside out.

When the servants came in to help, they couldn't help but vomit.

The scene was extremely chaotic for a while, and it took a minute or two to get everyone out of the room.

Odysseus took out a bottle of essential oil that he had prepared long ago, put it under his nose and smelled it, and the feeling of vomiting disappeared immediately.

Then he put the bottle of essential oil under the noses of others and let them smell it. Everyone stopped vomiting, but the room and the door were already a mess, and Verdu and others were covered in vomit.

With the help of the servants, they went upstairs to tidy up and change their clothes before going downstairs to entertain the wizard.

During this time, Odysseus sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder in the reception room, and it no longer smelled so bad.

At the same time, Odysseus felt that the potion was showing signs of being digested again, which meant that this performance was very successful. Verdu and others thought he was a very powerful wizard.

To be precise, there was not much acting involved, it was enough just to present the "evil woman" in front of Verdu and the others.

Everyone sat down in the living room, and the servants brought back the tea. Verdu asked with some fear, "Mr. Wizard, what was that monster just now?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"That's called a succubus," Odysseus explained. "It's a supernatural creature that is rarely seen in the city."

The eyes of a seductress are one of the main ingredients for becoming a "pleasure witch". This type of seductress usually lives in the wilderness, occasionally going to places where people gather to "charm" some men as food.

Odysseus continued, "Generally, the enchanting succubus that appear in the city will have a 'female companion'. This is a very rare phenomenon, because the female companion must not only be born on the same day as the enchanting succubus, but the souls of both parties must not show any signs of rejection.

"I only saw the corresponding records in ancient books, so I guessed that Delia became the 'companion' of the enchantress.

"The succubus with a 'female companion' is very cunning because she lives with humans. She will hide in the mirror at the slightest danger.

"So the biggest difficulty in capturing it is not to arouse her suspicion in advance."

Odysseus believed that the previous "Night Watchers" were forced to hide in the mirror by the enchantress because they did not pay attention to this point.

In the end, they only discovered that Delia's spirituality was somewhat unstable, and believed that she saw things she shouldn't have seen in her dreams, which led to such consequences.

Verdu said with emotion: "Fortunately, we asked you to help us, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do."

Odysseus calmly accepted the rich man's thanks, because this knowledge was indeed very unpopular. By the time the official Beyonder discovered Delia's abnormality, the girl might have suffered irreversible damage.

At this time, the old gentleman York asked: "Mr. Wizard, how did this... this monster get here?"

"Maybe he found this place through the mirror," replied Odysseus.

Of course, it is also possible that someone is deliberately raising the enchanting succubus. Odysseus has also seen such a description in the "Wilderness of Knowledge": the older this extraordinary creature is, the stronger its "charming" ability will be after the ascended being uses its eyes to ascend.

According to some intelligence Odysseus obtained, Backlund has more than one witch who uses socialites as a cover, and now the "Witch Cult" is cooperating with the royal family, so there should be many witches hiding in the corners of the city.

It is very likely that they sent this enchantress here, but these things certainly cannot be told to ordinary people who only have a slight understanding of the extraordinary.

After chatting for a while, it was getting late, so Odysseus got up and said goodbye.

Verdu took out a paper bag containing a stack of banknotes and asked Odysseus to accept it.

Odysseus took out some of them, and his spiritual perception told him that there were exactly 20. "I only want a part of it. As for the other reward, I want to take the mirror away."

Verdu was overjoyed and immediately sent a carriage to take Odysseus and the mirror away, and asked the two coachmen to help the wizard move the mirror into the house.

After returning to No. 66 Rose Street, Odysseus watched the driver drive away, then immediately went out to send a telegram to the Backlund Mechanical Research Institute and bought dinner.

When Odysseus returned to his residence, he saw that the mirror was still making a "dong dong dong" sound occasionally, which proved that the enchantress was still inside.

He came to the restaurant and placed the grilled meat and fish, as well as the roasted pork skin and Fenaport garlic shrimp, on the table, then opened a bottle of wine for a small celebration.

Glancing at the mirror in the living room again, Odysseus smiled and said to himself: I made a lot of money from this business again. It's a bit like the antique industry. If you don't open for three years, you can make a profit for three years after you open it.

The garlic shrimp is pretty good and perfect for drinking. The roasted pork skin has to be eaten quickly, otherwise it will become hard after a while.

After an hour or so, the wine was almost finished and the food was almost finished.

Odysseus came to the living room, turned on the gas lamp, and waited for the guests to arrive.

Just after taking two sips of tea, Odysseus seemed to see a figure flashing on the window glass out of the corner of his eye.

Odysseus smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. There are still Bokers.

"You can decide whether to take action after meeting that group of customers."

"Hehehe~"

A silver bell-like laugh suddenly sounded from the other side of the window: "It seems that you are not completely ignorant."

Ding-ling, ding-ling~

The doorbell suddenly rang, and the figure on the window suddenly disappeared.

Odysseus went to open the door, and the person outside was Max, the captain of "Mechanical Heart".

After seeing the long beard that Odysseus had put on, Max couldn't help but smile: "Why do you dress like this?"

Odysseus smiled and said, "I have wanted to be a wizard since I was a child."

Max shook his head, obviously not believing such nonsense. He entered the house, looked at the mirror in the middle of the living room and asked, "You said you found traces of the 'witch'."

"Not only that, I also caught this." Odysseus said this and pulled away the black cloth from the mirror.

Because the world in the mirror was very blurry, Max took a long time to identify it before saying, "This is... This is a seductress?"

A living "Succubus"!

Odysseus nodded: "I hope I can sell it for a good price."

Chapter 159: Hugh asks for help again

After hearing what Odysseus said, Max was stunned for a moment before saying, "That's easy, at least 1,600 pounds!"

The price he gave was the "market price". Generally, the main materials at the sequence 6 level were sold at this price, but at this level, there would definitely be a premium.

Odysseus didn't intend to consider the premium: "Okay, I'll help you load it on the carriage."

"Wait a moment." Max seemed to come to his senses suddenly and walked out quickly.

At this time, a not very obvious figure appeared on a glass bottle not far from Odysseus, and a pleasant voice came: "I can offer 1,900 pounds!"

"I'm sorry, but I still plan to sell it to the Mechanical Heart." Odysseus smiled and said, "Or rather, I hope to sell it to the Mechanical Heart in front of you, so that you can have an explanation."

The voice on the glass bottle said: "They can't protect you forever."

"No, you can't imagine how important I am to them." Odysseus said lightly.

At this time, Max came back, and Ikanser came in with him. The figure on the glass bottle immediately disappeared.

After Captain Ikanser entered the room, he first raised his hand, looked at the window, and then looked at the glass bottle next to Odysseus: "A witch has been here."

"Yes." Odysseus said, "It seems that they have come here too."

He smiled and said, "You came just in time. If you had come any later, I would have had to fight with them."

Ikanser said nothing more and looked at the mirror. In the end, he offered 2,000 pounds because this was the first time that the "Mechanical Heart" had received a living "Succubus" and it was of great research value.

Moreover, the hair and blood of the "Sucker Punch" are both very high-level spiritual materials, so the price is quite reasonable.

After covering the mirror with black cloth again, Max carried the huge full-length mirror away. As for the gold pounds, they would be delivered tomorrow morning.

Ikanser asked Odysseus from behind: "Is this your new base? And new identity?"

"Yes." Odysseus smiled and said, "Because I only use it occasionally, I haven't reported it to the Mechanical Heart."

Ikanser nodded: "If a 'witch' comes to our door, notify us as soon as possible and we will come to support you immediately."

Odysseus smiled and said, "Thank you."

After sending away the man with the "Mechanical Heart", Odysseus locked the door, took the spiritual materials, and continued to draw the "complex magic circle" in the house.

While drawing the magic circle, he always felt that a pair of eyes were staring at him.

Odysseus knew that it was the witch in the mirror just now.

However, he was not worried that the witch would attack him, because she was more worried that once he appeared, the people from the Mechanical Heart would immediately turn back and deal with her.

After all, the person who had just arrived was a senior deacon from Backlund, and he had already discovered her whereabouts. He was probably pretending to retreat just to lure her out.

Odysseus spent more than two hours drawing, and the "complex magic circle" here was finally completed.

He yawned and went back to his bedroom to rest, completely ignoring the gaze hiding in the glass.

…

Early Wednesday morning at the Daily Observer newspaper office.

Reporter Mike got off the carriage with his briefcase and was about to enter the newspaper office when someone suddenly shouted, "Mike Joseph!"

Mike was slightly startled and looked in the direction of the voice. It was a carriage with the "Holy Emblem of the Storm". The door opened and two men in police uniforms got out.

He glanced at their epaulettes and saw that their ranks were Chief Inspector and Inspector respectively.

The chief inspector came over quickly and said, "I have something to ask you about."

Mike nodded. He knew what the other party wanted to know: "Come sit down in the newspaper office?"

The chief inspector said, "Let's go to our carriage and have a chat."

"Okay." Mike followed them into the carriage.

Many of Mike's colleagues stopped and observed the meeting.

Inside the carriage, Conant, a senior deacon of the "Substitute Punisher" wearing the uniform of a chief inspector, looked out the window and smiled, "If I take you back to the police station for questioning, will there be some reports attacking us in tomorrow's newspapers?"

Mike smiled and did not give a direct answer: "They are reporters and will report the facts. I have not committed any crime."

"But I suspect you are Lelouch's accomplice." Conant said: "We have received news that you recommended Lelouch's manuscript to a publishing house."

"Yes, I asked someone to look at it for me. The manuscript is quite professional." Mike said, "It will be a very good reference book."

"But Lelouch is a fugitive."

"I've also asked someone to check the relevant laws, and there is no law that explicitly stipulates that fugitives cannot publish books." Mike said calmly.

Because the prisoners at that time were basically illiterate or semi-literate, it was difficult for them to even read newspapers, let alone write books.

Therefore, the rights that prisoners were deprived of in this era did not include the right to publish.

Conant looked at the reporter who was not panicking at all and said, "You should know that your behavior is already a major suspicion. I can even apply for an arrest warrant based on this."

"The manuscript was sent by mail." Mike said, "The three reporters who had access to the email are willing to testify.

"And you have no evidence to prove that I have met Lelouch. Torture will be useless because I have indeed never met him.

"In the end, you'll just have to let me out again."

Conant looked at his subordinate, who nodded slightly, indicating that the reporter was telling the truth.

Conant sighed softly: "Mr. Reporter, please tell me, why are you willing to take such a big risk for someone you have never met?"

"Because I feel it's worth it." Mike smiled and said, "Our social system is not perfect, but not everyone has the courage to admit this, and not everyone has the courage to resist the injustice of this society.

"Lelouch is a role model of this era. I am willing to help him publish his manuscript free of charge. Many people are willing to take risks to help him."

Conant scratched his head. He felt that he would never be able to catch Lelouch in his lifetime.

…

At the same time, in the Bridge District, there is an alley that is connected in all directions but has few pedestrians.

Hugh Dilcha met with the man wearing the golden mask again. As soon as they met, the man said, "MI9 is planning to withdraw the people protecting you. Their new plan is to use you to lure out the enemy who escaped before."

Xio was slightly stunned before saying, "MI9 agreed before..."

"Don't expect a spy agency to keep its promise." The masked man said, "MI9 has received accurate intelligence and is certain that the other party will launch a retaliatory action, so they have formulated a new plan.

"It's just that in this new plan, they no longer have the responsibility to protect you."

They will also deliberately withdraw their guards to expose the enemy as soon as possible.

If Hugh can hold out until MI9 surrounds him, that would be great. If not, he will be posthumously awarded a martyr's medal after the battle and his family will be given some compensation.

In the eyes of MI9, compared with spy organizations that fight against foreign forces, the life of an informant is not worth mentioning at all.

Xio was a little angry because she got into such trouble while investigating a mission issued by MI9.

But her anger quickly disappeared, and she immediately began to think about what to do.

The other party had at least one Sequence 7, and Xio knew that she and Fors together were no match for them.

Just when she decided to move out of the rental house temporarily and face the enemy alone, the masked man said again: "Go to the 'leader' for help, he will definitely help you again.

"But based on my observation of the 'leader', he will definitely put forward some conditions this time. As long as they are not too excessive, you can agree to them first."

Xio looked at the masked man in front of her with some surprise. She could sense that the other party wanted to help her very much, but was unable to do so.

She took a deep breath and said, "I'll go back and think about it."

"You don't have much time." The masked man added, "The enemy is likely to launch an attack in the next two days."

Xio nodded to show that he understood.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

…

No. 66, Qiangwei Changjie.

Odysseus got up very early today, not because he was very diligent, but because he was woken up by the mumbling of the "Hidden Sage".

The feeling was very uncomfortable, accompanied by severe tinnitus and headache. After Odysseus endured those few seconds, he couldn't fall asleep.

After he recovered, Odysseus "recalled" the knowledge he had just heard. Some of it could indeed be interpreted, which was the description of the "devil's curse".

Extraordinary people from many paths have the ability to "curse". The most professional "curse" is the "prisoner" path. In addition, "witch" and "demon" also have very distinctive curses.

Among them, the curse of the "devil" is extremely vicious, but such a "curse" is rarely seen in normal times, so it is not taken seriously by people.

Odysseus sighed helplessly, because he already knew this knowledge.

He had previously studied the abilities and characteristics of the 22 paths in detail, and the vast amount of knowledge in the "wilderness of knowledge" amazed him.

It was also through his research at that time that he learned a lot of unpopular knowledge from various channels, such as the information he had previously known about the female companion of the "Enchantress".

Few people knew these things, even among official Beyonders.

While eating breakfast, Odysseus noticed that the "witches" who had been staring at him yesterday had left. He guessed that they would most likely not cause trouble for him.

Because they are at a critical moment of cooperation with the royal family and will not easily provoke the "Mechanical Heart".

Around nine o'clock in the morning, Max brought the gold pounds to purchase "The Enchanter".

The two chatted for a while, and then Max said goodbye. Before leaving, he joked that Odysseus looked good with a beard.

Back on the second floor, as soon as Odysseus put the 2,000 pounds into the "Wilderness of Knowledge", his pocket watch lit up in red, a signal from the gathering place of the Occult Research Society.

Os was slightly stunned. Someone asks for help?

He locked the door from the inside, went down to the basement, returned to 77 Hailin Avenue, and turned back into Odysseus, the owner of the herbal medicine shop.

Then he took a hired carriage to 77 Hilton Avenue and changed into the "leader" costume.

Odysseus was now richer than ever, and he took to riding in a hackney-carriage as a rule.

Passing through the "teleportation array" in the basement again, Odysseus arrived at No. 199 Hairun Avenue.

After coming out of the basement, Odysseus saw Xio again. He was not very tall and had some baby fat on his face.

After seeing the "leader's" mask and cape, Xio felt relieved: "Mr. 'leader', I have encountered new difficulties and I would like to ask for your help."

Odysseus nodded: "Sit down and talk."

The two people sat opposite each other on chairs, and Xio began to describe her experience. She bluntly stated that it was the masked man who asked her to ask the "leader" for help.

After thinking about it, Xio felt that perhaps only the "leader" was willing to help him.

Odysseus thought for a moment before saying, "MI9 has been fooled."

"Ah?" Xio didn't quite understand what "leader" meant.

"Of course, this could also be part of their trap." Odysseus smiled and said, "If I were the leader of a foreign spy organization, I would hardly launch any retaliatory actions.

"Even if there is a retaliatory action, it must at least be coordinated with the country's political actions. It will not be done just to kill someone. Otherwise, the probability of success of a retaliatory action launched in another country will be very small, and a large number of subordinates will be killed or injured.

"And MI9 has also received intelligence that spy organizations in other countries are planning to launch retaliatory actions, which is very strange.

"So it can almost be said that the retaliatory actions of spy organizations in other countries are just a cover for their real purpose."

This made Xio stunned. He didn't expect that the "leader" could make such an analysis after just hearing some fragmentary information, and it seemed to make sense.

"The response of MI9 is either that they were fooled, or that they were pretending to be fooled." Odysseus took a deep breath and said, "But no matter what, you are very dangerous."

He thought for a moment before saying, "I can continue to provide you with protection, but I have one condition."

Xio heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this: "You go ahead."

If the "leader" did not put forward any conditions, Xio would feel a little uneasy.

"Become my subordinate." Odysseus said, "Of course, you will become my subordinate in secret. In the outside world, you are still a bounty hunter. It will remain the same as before.

"It's just that you have to complete some of my orders at certain times.

"Of course, your work will not be in vain. Except for the first mission, you will not gain anything. You will get some rewards for the subsequent missions."

He paused and said, "Well, as we said before, you have to help me complete a task for free."

Before, Odysseus escorted Xio to MI9, and his request was to let her complete a task free of charge.

Xiu thought for a moment before asking, "Do I have the power to refuse a mission?"

"Most of the time," Odysseus said, "some tasks are just for you, and you can't refuse them."

"Well then." Xio stood up and said, "Respected 'Chief', please accept my loyalty."

Having said this, she knelt down on one knee before the "Chief". To her, the "Chief" was an extraordinary person whom she respected and admired, so she had no aversion to showing loyalty to the "Chief".
