Chapter 96 Making a Deal with the Devil


Chapter 96 Making a Deal with the Devil

Wayne caught the fallen maid and picked her up sideways. It was very light, maybe not even 90 pounds.

"Is it solved so easily?"

Kerr looked at the maid Ojia in surprise, and then at the mushroom bottle in his hand. He could no longer tell whether what the maid said was true or false.

"She didn't lie. She was the Lady Dinah from ten years ago..."

Wayne carried Ojia to the next room, turned on the light and placed him on the sofa. He opened his eyelids with his fingertips and checked for a while.

Kerr stood aside and watched, curious: "What are you checking? Who is she or a ghost?"

"I'm pretty sure she's human, it's just that she has some other soul inside her."

And there’s more than one!
The more Wayne checked, the more surprised he became. Ojia's thinking was very confused. There was more than one soul dormant in her body. Except for her own soul, which was relatively complete, other souls could only be described as fragments.

As shown above, Lady Dinah has a soul that is close to drying up.

The remaining candle in the wind will disappear at any time.

These souls absorb the energy and spirit, and parasites generally attach themselves to the maid's body, and have a serious impact on the maid's mental thinking.

During the day, the maid may be herself, but at night it is hard to say, she may be Lady Dinah, or she may be someone else...

Wayne explained the results of his examination, and Kerr suddenly realized: "No wonder she has a changeable personality and sleepwalking. It turns out to be like this."

Wayne nodded: "Her condition is most likely caused by magic. Mr. Bart is not an ordinary person, he should be a magician."

Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out.

Ojia possesses a rare magical physique.

Wayne once heard Teacher Yujie mention that there are many strange physiques in the magical world, all kinds of things, and Veronica's dragon blood is one of them.

There are good and bad magical physiques, and not all physiques bring an increase like dragon blood. Some mutated physiques are more like curses. Without treatment and guidance, they will die before reaching adulthood.

By the way, Wayne's pure magic power is regarded as a mutant by Xifei. He is the chosen one by God, the only one among all the dependents of God.

Plank has a higher opinion of Wayne. Wayne can perfectly fit every divine power. This performance is unprecedented. Rather than a physical variation, it can be said to be an atavism.

Plank believes that Wayne has awakened the original bloodline from the beginning of mythology, is a descendant of God, and is the first ancestor.

Magical physiques are very complex, some are innate and some are acquired. Wayne doesn't know where Ojia's physique comes from. He can only analyze that her body can accommodate more souls because of her special physique.

This may be a new discovery in the magic world. As the first discoverer, Wayne has the right to name it and gave it a famous name - Bus Physique.

"Do you want to continue?"

Wayne stood up and said to Kerr: "This family is more complicated than I thought. If the disappeared Myron Bart is a magician, it does not rule out that one of the family members is also a magician. Your investigative behavior of feeding mushrooms one by one It will definitely be exposed, and failure to end it will probably endanger your life.”

Kerr pondered for a moment, but decided to continue: "The puzzle has just begun. As a detective, I can't give up at this time. I hate giving up halfway more than danger."

Wayne thought so too. This question was so interesting.

He was curious about why Myron Bart let his substitute commit suicide while he disappeared without a trace, evaded, or lurked. Other family members might be able to give the answer.

The two looked at each other and thought of their clients. His wife Marina and eldest son Hayden respectively invited detectives from Lundam to investigate, one month after the suicide.

It means that both of them knew that Bart was not dead. They searched for it for a month and found nothing, so they entrusted the detective to let professionals handle it.

"Kerr, do you know Madam's room?"

"Of course, but let's start with the dirty talk. We are professional detectives. Don't stuff it in the wrong place when you feed the mushrooms later."

"..."

This bad pornographic joke makes me feel uncomfortable!
Kerr may not be a serious person, but as a detective, his craftsmanship is undoubtedly qualified. A small piece of wire easily opened the door of Mrs. Marina's room.

Wayne just watched from the side, Kerr was responsible for the charge, and he stayed behind to cover. This division of labor made it easier for him to collect Kerr's body when he didn't know who the magician was.

The result was not very good, and it came to nothing.

Mrs. Marina's bedroom was empty. The two checked and found no secret passage in the house.

Then there are the eldest young master Hayden and the second young master Steward. These two are pure fools. They eat mushrooms that are so delicious that they cause hallucinations. They are susceptible to everything.

The two young masters of the family did not know the truth about the family. They naively believed that their father was really dead and stayed at the ancestral home just to divide the family property.

The difference is that the eldest young master still has some brains. He feels that his father's death is very strange, and it is most likely related to his beautiful stepmother. He spends a lot of money to hire a detective from the White Glove Association to investigate. If he is lucky, he can get hold of the stepmother, and he will not only inherit the family property but also... Can inherit stepmother.

If the eldest young master still has some brains, the second young master is a typical silly son of a landlord. He has a simple mind and strong limbs, and only manages the family to inherit the inheritance.

This devastated Wayne. When he learned that the second young master was a failed student, he was once optimistic about the stock, thinking that the second young master would defeat all competitors and eventually win the silver bracelet.

Is this the result?

The fact was a slap in the face. Wayne had overthought and he also failed. The sports students who failed and the art students who failed were not at the same level at all.

The two came to the door of the last family member, the third daughter Heidi, the eldest lady of the Bart family.

Kerr skillfully picked the door and slid the lock, followed closely by Wayne. As soon as he closed the door, he noticed something was wrong. As far as the smell was concerned, Mrs. Marina was also there.

He held Kerr's shoulders and made a few simple gestures, which came from the original body's muscle memory, indicating that there was more than one person in the back bedroom.

Kerr was a little surprised. He understood Wayne's gesture, picked out a mushroom, and affirmed the professionalism of his colleague.

Kerr: The detective profession is full of talents, but brother, you are no ordinary person either!
Wayne: Each other.

The two sneaked into the back room in the dark. The large bed in the center of the bedroom was classic and luxurious. The curtains were gorgeous and elegant, decorated with lace ribbons. The details were extremely complicated, and it was a standard Rococo decoration style.

With the moonlight outside the window, Wayne could clearly see the two ladies on the bed. Mrs. Marina had seen her during the day. The 1.8-meter-tall former professional model was currently curled up sideways in the arms of a woman.

The woman has fair skin, rosy lips and long wavy hair that is soft and shiny. She is wearing a long white dress and nightgown and is breathing steadily. Judging from his facial features, he is about the same age as Wayne, but he is mature and restrained, and has an elegant charm that far exceeds that of his peers.

Heidi Bart!

Kerr made a gesture, Wayne nodded, and they both showed their mushrooms and stretched toward the target.

Snap!
Mrs. Marina raised her hand to brush away the fungus, her closed eyes suddenly opened, she put one hand on the bed, hit Kerr in the chest and abdomen with a side kick, and kicked the wretched mushroom man to the window. Heidi woke up at the same time, kicked Wayne's neck with a sweep of her legs, and her nightgown slipped down, revealing a length of calf and unintelligible white socks.

Wayne raised his hand to clasp the incoming ankle, narrowed his eyes slightly, triggered the combo, and used the force of his five fingers to use the move Shen Jian Tears.

The moment her fingers tightened, Heidi withdrew her legs like a fish, leaving only one sock for Wayne.

Heidi jumped up, her movements fast and sharp, which was dazzling in the slightly dim room. She grabbed Wayne's hands, stepped on the edge of the bed to use her strength, and hit him with a knee.

Wayne turned his head to avoid it, then clasped Heidi's wrists, pulled her into his arms, and landed a heavy headbutt.

With a bang, Heidi threw her head back and fell on the bed, her legs straightened, and she hissed and gasped.

"Fancy."

Wayne's life essence is filled, and a large amount of earth elements are injected into it, which greatly strengthens his muscles and bones. One punch can make Willy cry for a long time.

Apart from Veronica, he really wasn't afraid of anyone. In his opinion, Heidi's offensive was just that, more than sharp, but not powerful enough.

On the other side, Kerr also ended the battle, groaning as he was stepped on by Lady Marina.

As a detective, you can't defeat your employer in a night attack. It's such a failure!
Wayne looked intently, and Marina also looked towards him and scolded him coldly: "Detective Wayne, I asked you to investigate the master's death, but you found the lady's bedroom?"

"Madam, you are joking. Mr. Bart's whereabouts are unknown, and he is a widow but he is hanging out with the lady. You two are too suspicious. I found out that this is normal." Wayne scoffed.

"Do you think the judge will believe you?" Marina's face became even colder.

"I think the judge is more curious about the relationship between the madam and the young lady."

Wayne retorted without any sign of weakness: "I have found out that Mr. Bart is not dead. The man who committed suicide with a gun was a stand-in. You entrusted the White Glove Association to investigate his whereabouts. Even if you married Mr. Bart, it was another matter." There is a purpose, your surname is Bart, you should call him uncle."

Marina had a dark face and stepped hard, causing Kerr to scream.

Because it’s him, this is not a reward!

While Wayne was talking, he looked at Heidi on the bed out of the corner of his eye, trying to analyze whether she knew or not based on the changes in her expression. Unfortunately, Heidi was stunned by the headbutt. She raised her hands to cover her face and couldn't see clearly whether her expression changed.

"As expected of the elite detective of the White Glove Association, you found out so much in half a day..."

Marina looked gloomy: "But you have found the wrong person. My commission is to investigate the deceased who committed suicide, not me."

Kerr raised his hand slightly. The above content was found by him and had nothing to do with Wayne.

"Okay, Marina, Detective Wayne is very professional. There is no need for you to turn yourself into a suspect." Heidi shook her groggy head and sat up. The shoulder straps of her nightgown slipped off, revealing a section of her shoulders.

Wayne had just fallen victim to a honey trap recently and was very wary of women he had never met but who were willing to receive benefits. He frowned and took a step back: "It turns out that Miss Heidi knows the lady's identity very well, and the two of them are accomplices!"

"There were some plans, but there was no time to implement them."

Heidi rubbed her head and stood up, looking at the mushrooms that fell on the bed, her eyes flashed: "Two detectives, are you interested in hearing about the history of the Bart family?"

The camera turned to the sofa in the living room outside the bedroom.

Heidi was wearing a coat, her fair forehead was red and swollen, and she shook her head from time to time.

Marina is sitting next to her. The relationship between the two is very complicated. They are cousins, mother and daughter, or lovers. Marina, who looks cold, is the sitter, and Heidi, who is mature and reserved, is the attacker.

Wayne and Kerr sat across from each other, with the latter baring his teeth and clearly being beaten badly.

"Detective Wayne, the investigation commissioned before was just an assessment. My father Bart is indeed still alive. I wonder if you are still interested in continuing the investigation and finding out where he is hiding." Heidi said.

"What about me? I also passed the exam?" Kerr complained.

"I am not your client and have no right to ask, but if you are willing, I am happy for you to continue the investigation."

Heidi observed the two detectives and saw that they had no idea of ​​rejection. She smiled and said: "When it comes to my father's disappearance, I have to mention the beliefs of the Bart family. According to family history, we were servants of the devil and believed in hell. The blood tyrant."

Blood faith!
The evil god from hell!
Wayne's expression remained unchanged as he thought of the councilman from Lundan City, a monster bathed in a sea of ​​blood.

"No matter how it is whitewashed, the belief in hell is evil. The successive heads of the family know this very well. So after getting the first pot of gold, our Bart family gave up the belief in blood and instead bathed in the glory of the Father. Down."

Heidi continued: "Faith is a brand, a curse inherited in the blood. Every family head will hear the whispers of the evil god in the dead of night. They will dream of a bloody hell, and they will dream that they are played by the evil god and tortured. No one has ever lived long."

"Different from the self-perception of other family heads, my father is a complete bastard. He doesn't mind regaining his belief in blood. As long as he can make money, he is willing to make deals with the devil."

"Two years ago, his body was aging rapidly and his condition was getting worse day by day. He was afraid of death and thought of the devil in his dream, intending to trade with him in exchange for life."

As he spoke, Heidi's voice became gloomy: "My two brothers have been away from home for many years and rarely settled on Longxin Island, so he once discussed this matter with me. I didn't agree at the time. Maybe he could He gets a long life, but the descendants of the family will definitely pay for it."

"Later, my father's health gradually improved. He did not listen to the advice and made a deal with the devil. For the sake of the family, I decided to imprison him..."

"Before I did anything, he disappeared!"

Heidi looked at the two detectives: "It took me a long time to find him, so I had to ask the magic world for help. These two are magicians, right?"

"What an accurate vision!"

Kerr nodded and admitted with a grin on his face, but Wayne didn't say anything.

"I'm an ordinary person who can't find my father's hiding place. You two are magicians and professional detectives. You can definitely gain something. I hope you can save the Bart family." Heidi solemnly issued a commission.

"No, the beliefs related to the devil are very troublesome. I suggest Heidi seek help from the Holy See. They are more professional in dealing with devils." Kerr suggested.

"Then the Bart family is finished..."

Heidi smiled bitterly and shook her head. Seeing that the two detectives were still hesitating, she said bluntly: "Don't worry, I only ask you to find your father's hiding place. I have no intention of letting you face the devil. I will deal with the aftermath on behalf of the Bart family."

"If that's the case..."

In the middle of Kerr's words, Wayne interrupted directly: "Miss Heidi, can you tell me what kind of deal Mr. Bart made with the devil?"

"My father didn't say much. The devil told him to look for something."

"What?"

"The legacy of the dragon, the dragon's great secret treasure."
