Chapter 377 When the Witch Comes Knocking
“Captain, here!”

With the detection of psychic radar, they quickly found the target container.

“Be careful, open it!”

Li Zhongren and Maupassant each took one side and slowly opened the container.

“Pfft~~”

A puff of scarlet smoke gushed out and drifted into the air.

After a while, they approached again.

Looking inside under the dim light of the port, the inner wall of the cast iron container was covered with dark red mycelium, looking like a carpet.

In the fungus blanket, there is a table covered with broken glassware and a scarlet crucible made of some unknown material. The flame under the crucible has been extinguished, and the contents of the container have been moved away. There is a little light scarlet viscous liquid remaining on the inner wall, which is bubbling from time to time.

“Is she brewing some kind of potion?”

Outside the container, Catherine adjusted her goggles and observed the inside carefully to make sure not to miss any details. In a sense, this was a way of making up for her mistakes. As her debut battle, she knew that her performance was too poor.

Before he could even exert any strength, he was controlled by the enemy.

The reason was that she was not careful enough. As a sniper, she should be most proud of her observation skills. However, she did not realize that the tower had been ambushed by the witch a long time ago. It was not a very advanced witchcraft, but it almost took her life. She should have thought of this.

Maybe, wizards always like to do some weird things, but I don’t know why this woman has to brew the potion in London. You know, the whole of London is covered by the radio network.

Maupassant shrugged his shoulders, clasped his hands together, cast a protection spell on himself, and then walked in.

However, just one step forward seemed to break a certain balance.

“damn it!!”

This woman actually set a trap here.

Maupassant hurriedly stepped back, but it was too late.

Because, at this moment, the surrounding environment is constantly flashing, and at the same time, the psychic radars on their bodies are also frantically sending out alarms.

“Level 7 of psychic energy pollution! This crazy woman actually deliberately detonated psychic energy and connected it to the other world!!”

Bob’s voice was full of resentment.

In the world.

It is a mysterious world that emerged after the spiritual super explosion.

It relies on the surface world for its existence, but it is corrupted and distorted by psionic energy and is filled with monsters everywhere.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary people are not affected.

However, for extraordinary people, the higher their own psychic attributes, the easier it is for them to resonate with the inner world, and then be drawn into the inner world. They may not die, but it is a very troublesome thing. Therefore, most extraordinary people carry some things to avoid such things.

Damn it, there was something wrong with the fog itself, and the psychic stabilizer actually had problems.

With Bob’s roar, the surrounding environment began to change.

In the void in the distance, they could see something hovering on the towering spire of London.
Nearby, the fungal mats around are beating constantly like a heart.

“God said, ‘Let there be light.’”

At the critical moment, it was the priest Maupassant who summoned a ray of light, which enveloped the people and pulled them out of the inner world. At almost the same time, a huge eye on the spire of London opened a crack, saw nothing, and closed again.
“call”

In the real world, several people were breathing heavily.

Maupassant even collapsed on the ground.

He was just a small white-robed priest. The number of divine spells he could use in a day was limited. What he just did was the last one. Once the spell slots were all used up, he would fall into fatigue.

“Captain, I’m applying for an extra bonus.”

“no problem.”

Bob leaned against the container, his face full of fear. There was no doubt that this trap was definitely carefully designed by the witch. Once he and others fell into the other world, the thing on the London Tower would be very willing to eat them. In the other world, distance has no meaning. If you see it, you will catch it.
“Okay, pack up and go back to hand in the task.”
–
Alchemical Inquisition.

A ring of truth made up of twelve brass mirrors hangs high in the sky. This is the testing room.

Used to detect whether the people on the mission are contaminated, controlled, and so on.

After all, the abilities of extraordinary people are varied and it is too easy to be deceived just by talking.

“Om~~”

At this moment, Li Zhongren was sitting under the Ring of Truth.

One of the mirrors turned and reflected his body.

“buzz”

“buzz”

Li Zhongren closed his eyes and thought deeply. The noise in his ears made him a little irritated.

After a while, the light dissipated.

A cold voice sounded.

“After testing, the target is normal, no pollution, no control.”

“Now, please ask the target to repeat the entire task process.”

“Ok.”

Li Zhongren nodded and began to recount the entire mission process.

He knew that this process was the process of verifying lies.

Once you lie, you will be discovered.

However, lies depend on how you tell them. Sometimes, you just change your perspective. Although you are not telling the truth, you are not lying either. Of course, there are ways to remedy this loophole. These lights will monitor your every move, not only your appearance, but also your insides, even your cells.

Whether a person tells the truth or hides something, the body and soul will react accordingly.

Unfortunately, the chakra system happens to be the nemesis of this type.

You know, even in the world of Naruto, if you want to determine whether it is a lie, you have to read the memory, and even reading the memory is not safe. Kabuto Yakushi’s memory has been modified.

Therefore, Li Zhongren can easily use chakra to smooth out the body’s reaction when lying.

For example, when he said that he was responsible for the final assassination, but the witch still escaped in the end.

This is true, the witch did escape with his help.

“I have finished my story”

“Detection, no lies.”

“Mr. Lin En, you can leave now.”

Lin En is Li Zhongren’s name in this world.

“Ok.”

Li Zhongren stood up, bowed slightly, turned and left.

He knew that there was someone controlling the Ring of Truth.
–
“Nine Baker Street.”

“Ahem, is anyone here?”

Irene put her hands behind her back, walked briskly to the door, and knocked gently.

For a long while, there was no movement.

“Open the door.”

Her scarlet lips slightly closed as she uttered this word, and the metal lock seemed to have received the most sacred instruction.

It opened with a click.

Irene pushed the door open.

Then he closed the door gently.

“Wow.”

Looking at everything in front of her, she couldn’t help but let out a cry of surprise.

Nothing else, neat and tidy.

She felt that what she saw was not a person’s residence, but a model house for sale.

Everywhere you look, it’s clean, tidy and meticulous.

Curtains, carpets, sofas, books on the bookshelf, etc.
Everything is so neat.

“This is a man who lives in a world of scale.” “Oh…”

Suddenly, Ellie looked down and saw that her pair of canvas shoes had left two muddy footprints at the door.

“I hope he won’t be angry.”

Irene shrugged, took off her shoes, and stepped on the cool but spotless wooden floor with her feet wrapped in black stockings.

The hot temperature left some steam on the ground, which formed the shape of a lovely sole. Of course, only half of it, because Irene was walking on tiptoe. After all, she came to someone else’s home and she felt a little guilty.

It’s just that, as a witch, or all witches, they are born with a strong curiosity.

She knew that the man could kill her at the last moment. That sword was so magical that she had never seen it before. Not only was she unable to control it, it could even break her constant defense.

But he let me go, and sent me out of the encirclement without leaving any trace, although the price was a wound on my back, which was very painful.
Come to the bookshelf.

Irene’s fingertips ran across the bookshelf and she pulled out a book at random.

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea

This is the name of a book, which she also knows, a work by the great writer Jules Verne.

However, judging from the marks on the book, he seemed to have only read half of it, and the remaining half was still brand new.

There is no valuable information.

“etc.”

Suddenly, Irene sniffed her nose.

She seemed to smell a familiar scent.

The witch’s memory might not be very good, and she herself was a very sloppy person, losing things was her habit. However, the witch’s senses were very sharp. Perhaps because this book was often read by the man, she smelled a familiar body odor on it.

She was sure that she had smelled this scent a long time ago.

“So, you have seen him before?”

“Squeak~”

Li Zhongren pushed the door open and then closed it gently.

Looking down, he saw a pair of shoes covered in mud, leaving two footprints on his clean floor. Fortunately, the other party stopped the loss in time and took off his shoes here.

He swept the room and found it as tidy as before. However, there were a series of faint footprints on the clean floor, as if it was a cat walking on tiptoe.

A book was taken out from the bookshelf and placed on the table.

Other than that, nothing seemed to move.

Come out.

After a while, Li Zhongren spoke.

Because there was a faint scent of honeysuckle in the air.

He had smelled this smell once before and once a year ago.

“Have we met?”

As if by magic, Ellie appeared not far from Li Zhongren.

Accompanied by a burst of petals.

After the petals fell to the ground, they also disappeared.

“You are so brave that you dared to come back instead of running away.”

Li Zhongren couldn’t help but frowned as he looked at Irene who was sitting on the sofa.

“Hey, you cut my back and caused it, and you’re worried about your sofa getting stained with blood?”

“what is your purpose?”

Li Zhongren came to a place not far from Irene, looking at the witch who had once saved his life. He was sure that she did not recognize him. After all, he was in a very miserable state at that time, and could even be described as extremely dirty. He could even say that his obsessive-compulsive disorder of cleanliness was also caused by his initial time travel.

“I’m curious.”

Irene looked at Li Zhongren with a smile.

“Why would you let me go? You are the most loyal hound of the Inquisition.”

“You saved me once a year ago, but you probably don’t remember it.”

“I saved you?”

Irene blinked and rubbed her feet on the floor.

“Don’t think about it. You’ve saved so many people that maybe you’ve forgotten it yourself.”

“Cough cough.”

Irene coughed a few times, a little embarrassed.

“Give me a hint?”

“Baker Street Square, in the alley on the north side, I was lying next to a dumpster and you fed me a life potion.”

Following Li Zhongren’s prediction, Irene’s eyes seemed to travel back to the past.
After a long moment, she shook her head.

“Sorry, I forgot.”

“It doesn’t matter, I just remember.”

Li Zhongren sighed.

“If you really have nowhere to stay, stay here temporarily, but don’t go out. Don’t turn on the lights when I’m not home, and don’t do anything suspicious.”

“Okay.”

“besides.”

Li Zhongren stretched out his finger.

“To be hygienic, go wash your feet first.”
–
The Alchemical Inquisition
Seventh Investigation Room

Hawke, the person in charge, threw the potion analysis report into the incinerator.

That’s right, the remains of these magic potions were brought back by Li Zhongren and his team.

After testing, he knew that this was a potion for witches to advance in their careers.

In other words, the witch who likes to steal things seems to be about to be promoted.

So, he suppressed the findings and replaced them with an irrelevant one.

The reason is simple, he wants to catch the witch.

There are two reasons why witches have been hunted since the Middle Ages.

First, their abilities come from their emotions, which are extremely easy to get out of control. Once out of control, things can become very troublesome, very, very troublesome.

Second, the witch’s own flesh and blood are naturally extraordinary materials.

Based on these two points, it makes sense that the supernatural beings hunt witches.

He is the same.

He is an alchemist, and his branch is the study of puppetry.

To make a puppet, one must use the best extraordinary materials.

For example, a witch’s spine.

According to current intelligence, the Red Rose Thief should be a witch, and if she is promoted again, she will be the Great Witch.

The spine and brain of the Great Witch will crystallize, turning her into a new life form, similar to a creation. This will greatly enhance the Great Witch’s ability to accommodate and control psychic energy, as well as the development of her own talents.

But at the same time, this thing is also the core material for making dolls.

He stroked the alchemical doll on the experimental table. The body was clearly cast according to the witch’s template.

Now, the doll only needs the most critical material to be completed.

If he uses the body of the Great Witch as material, then he will have a stable puppet with the power of the Great Witch, which will be an important support for his future promotion.

On the one hand, his strength has been enhanced.

Then there is his research.

Mass production of dolls plan.
