Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

"You are really beautiful today!"

Osman looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes lit up slightly, and he commented sincerely.

Louise bowed slightly, gave a simple salute, and said with a small smile:

"Is there a day when I'm not beautiful?"

It seemed that he was accustomed to Louise's way of speaking. Osman was not surprised. He just chuckled twice and corrected:

"Every day is more beautiful than the day before."

"Thank you for your compliment." Louise took a step forward, and through the orange light of the street lights, she noticed Osman's strong outfit and ready-to-go state more clearly, and joked deliberately. :

"However, that's not a reason to invite a lady out late at night on a date."

"Would you mind if I called you out tonight, not for a date?" Osman straightened his back, stood with his hands behind his back, and said calmly.

Louise responded indifferently: "I think, standing here at this moment, I have already expressed my attitude."

"That's good." Osman smiled, took a step back, stretched out his right hand, and completed the movements in one go, before explaining the truth:

"I invited Miss Louise here tonight just to watch a play."

"Watching a play?" Louise asked suspiciously, but she didn't get Osman's answer, she thought for a second, and then followed him into the darkness in front of her.

...

The two of them traveled very fast. After a while, they came to an unknown single-family villa. Most of the rooms were lit, and they could vaguely hear continuous reprimands and cowardly cries. .

"What is this place?" Louise asked, in fact, she already had a guess in her heart.

"A transfer point." Osman said, he did not hide his arrival, but walked in swaggeringly, without being blocked in any way, and added as he walked:

"But it's a transit point that's about to be abandoned."

As expected... This answer was in line with Louise's guess, but she didn't understand why she brought herself here, and was about to continue asking something when she suddenly saw a familiar figure trotting out of the villa in front of her.

It was a man of obvious Southern Continent blood, with reddish-brown skin and featureless features. The only feature was a gold tooth inlaid in his mouth, which shone with a faint golden light in the darkness.

Barron... Louise had appeared when he was on a population transfer mission with Bright in Port Enmatt. Who knew that he had not seen him for a few days. The latter had stopped running errands with the ship and started to sit in Backlund. .

"Mr. Osman, you are here."

Barron ran to the two of them and greeted them warmly. Afterwards, he found Louise, froze for a second and then quickly recalled, respectfully said:

"Miss Louise, I didn't expect you to be here too?"

Osman looked a little surprised: "Oh, have you seen it?"

Barron glanced at Louise, saw that her expression was calm, then lowered his head and replied:

"I was fortunate to have done things under the leadership of Miss Louise when I was on a mission before."

"Is that so..." Osman pondered for two seconds, then turned back to the topic and asked, "Has the transfer work been done?"

Barron straightened his body and said sternly: "Most of the work has already been completed, and there is only a small amount of 'cargo' left, and the transfer is guaranteed to be completed within ten minutes."

Osman was quite satisfied with this and praised: "It's a good job, the timing is just right, you will leave with everyone in a while, don't leave additional flaws."

Barron patted his chest and said confidently: "Understood, make sure everything goes according to plan."

"Go." Osman nodded slightly, waved Barron away, then turned to Louise, who had been silent, and said with a smile:

"I found that I am still very unfamiliar with you. If there is a chance in the future, maybe we can get to know each other better."

Louise was thinking about the purpose of the conversation between the two just now, and simply responded:

"Maybe there will be a chance."

In just ten minutes, the entire villa became empty, and all the lights suddenly went out, bringing an indescribable sense of desolation and loneliness.

After standing in the dark and waiting patiently for a few minutes, Louise seemed a little impatient and asked:

"Where's the play you asked me to watch? Could it be that Barron just now was the lead actor?"

Osman chuckled and retorted incredulously, "How is that possible?"

"I invited Miss Louise here with all my heart. Wouldn't it be too perfunctory to just let Barron sing a play? The real actor hasn't even appeared on stage yet!"

"Count the time, they should have got the news, they have probably already set off and are on their way here."

They... Louise asked curiously, "Who?"

Perhaps because he felt that a good show was about to be staged, Osman did not choose to hide it, but gave a sincere answer:

"The 'Punisher' of the Church of the Storm, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com and some members of MI9."

Louise frowned quietly, thinking: "Aren't you an MI9 officer? Or a devout follower of the Lord of Storms... Of course, with the noble status of people like Osman, their loyalty will only be dedicated to King George III."

So, she asked knowingly, "What are you doing here?"

"Naturally, it is to trace the clues of population transfer." Osman seemed to let go of his heart at this moment, and answered all of Louise's questions. He sneered, and then added:

"Ever since Brett was exposed in Bayam, although the Church of Storms accepted our compromise on the surface, they were still secretly investigating the whole incident... No way, I had to accompany them to have a good time!"

If I remember correctly, you said just now that the person who came to investigate tonight is a combination of "The Punisher" and MI9... Louise glanced at Osman beside her, thinking "The Punisher" in her heart They squeezed a sweat, and then asked:

"Then why are we two staying here?"

Osman tilted his head and responded, "I think I've made it clear, watching the play."

"But I don't think I should be in this place at this time." Louise calmly retorted: "If I am found by the 'Punisher' or MI9, I will be wanted as a wild Beyonder."

After that, she glanced at Osman and said, "Even if I stay by your side, the lieutenant colonel of MI9."

Osman laughed a little strangely, raised his right hand, shook his finger and said:

"You're wrong about one thing. I'm not a participant in tonight's action. Like you, I'm just a spectator."

Then, he put his index finger to his lips, "shhh", and said:

"Someone is coming."
