"Witch Miss?"
Hearing this name, Angel's heartbeat almost stopped. She pressed Magician Pocket Watch with one hand, piercing the opponent with her eyes like sharp knives, and was about to activate the ability of "Madness Ring" to disrupt the opponent's consciousness and create a chance for herself to escape.
"Don't be afraid, I don't mean any harm."
There was kindness in Ms. Lola's smile and true feelings in his words, which almost made Angel stop thinking about confrontation.
Is this Beyonder Ability? Is it "Charm" or "Persuasion"?
She instantly thought of the various abilities of Assassin Pathway, but obviously, this woman was not just using simple language to interfere.
Has she already reached Sequence 6?
While thinking, Angel's finger has been attached to the crown of Magician Pocket Watch. With just a slight press, you can obtain the three Beyonder Ability of "Magician", and your own Spirituality has also poured into "Madness Ring", and you can cast "Madness" at any time.
After doing this, she had time to see what the other party's purpose was.
"I am not from the Demoness Sect, nor am I the official Beyonder, but just like you, I do not belong to any organization."
Seeing that Angel made no further move, Ms. Lola covered his mouth and chuckled, his lake blue eyes showing a hint of charm.
"To show my sincerity, let me introduce myself first. My name is Lola Swann. You can also call me 'Pleasure Lady'."
Pleasure... Sure enough, Lola is already the Beyonder of Sequence 6, and it is the "Demoness of Pleasure" of the "assassin" Pathway...
Attracted by Lola's obviously deliberate but not artificial demeanor, Angel almost felt the instinct of a man welling up in his heart. He tried his best to suppress his inner impulse and asked with a straight face:
"How did you recognize me as Beyonder?"
She did not relax her vigilance because the other party claimed that he did not belong to "Demoness Sect". How could any cult member take the initiative to say that he belonged to a cult?
Of course, except for those Lunatic of Aurora Order...
"It's very simple. From your divination methods, some of your little habits, and even the name you gave yourself in Divination Club, hehe, 'Seer Witch'..."
Lola chuckled again, which made Angel frightened and almost wanted to take off Madness Ring to prevent himself from losing his mind.
"And I performed a divination on you, and it failed as expected. This makes me even more convinced of your identity as Beyonder, at least Mid Sequence."
I see, because I was cheated by Anti-Divination, and Instigator does not have the ability of Anti-Divination, so it is confirmed that I am at least Sequence 7...
"But why can't it be Sequence 6, or even higher?"
"You will understand when you actually reach Sequence 6 and become 'Pleasure'." Lola replied vaguely, then turned his eyes with a searching look in his eyes, "What I am curious about is, why Sequence 7's Potion has not changed your appearance significantly. Even if you were originally a woman, you will become more beautiful after becoming 'Witch', instead of being forgotten... I would like to ask, were you a man or a woman before you became 'Witch'?"
You will understand when you become Sequence 6... Could it be that "Demoness of Pleasure" will cause a huge change in people comparable to a man turning into a woman?
But fortunately, with the strength of this Pleasure Lady Sequence 6, he cannot see through the Psychological Suggestion of "Madness Ring", and the divination will be interfered by Hidden Holy Emblem. I am afraid that only High Sequence's Beyonder can crack this combination...
Being stared at by Lola's curious eyes, Angel even had the idea that it was a sin to neglect her. He quickly stopped the analysis in his mind and replied with the words he had prepared mixed with "Demoness Sect":
"Before I became Beyonder, I was indeed a male. Rather, I am a little curious, how many women would really choose to become an 'assassin'?"
This has also been her question all along. Cole Granger and Tris are both male assassins. Although Madam Sharon has not mentioned her past in her memory, some of her thoughts and actions occasionally revealed indicate that she is likely to have undergone a transformation in the "Witch" stage.
Could it be said that "Demoness Sect" has some evil preference when selecting candidates to become assassins?
She looked at Lola searchingly.
Could it be that this lady was once...
"Maybe there are more female assassins than you think."
As if aware of Angel's thoughts, the "Pleasure Lady" replied with a charming smile on his lips.
Does this answer my question... No, she may also be from "Demoness Sect", and she took the initiative to reveal her identity just to test me. Then everything she said may be Lies made up!
Almost lost in Lola's smile, Angel shuddered and woke up.
This is much scarier than the Madam Sharon in my memory. She can make people believe it with just a word and a smile, and people can't bear to deceive her... That's not right either. That guy Cole was deceived into Madam Sharon's bed. I can't say who is more powerful...
His mind was in chaos, Angel said subconsciously:
"You said you are not from the Demoness Sect, but as far as I know, almost all of this Pathway and Potion are controlled by them."
"Indeed, Low Sequence's Potion is okay. Once you step into Mid Sequence, if you want to get a chance to be promoted, you must contact them."
Lola stopped smiling, turned serious, nodded and said.
"I used to be a member of the Demoness Sect. I was assigned tasks by my 'mentor' and was promoted to Sequence. Then I became a similar role... For some reason, they preferred Beyonder who was promoted by male assassins. Maybe because of this, I was always asked to do some less important tasks that required dedication."
"This caused a conflict between my behavior and my heart, which almost made me lose control, and also made me think about leaving."
Are behavioral and inner conflicts at risk of getting out of control? And dedication, it won't be what I thought...
Angel raised his eyebrows and continued listening.
"In short, I left them and came to Backlund, hiding my identity and living a new life. As long as I don't seek promotion, everything is so simple and easy."
Angel actually doesn't really believe in this lady who sometimes has a serious face and sometimes smiles. After all, judging from the last contact, Lola is quite talented in acting. Everything she shows may be a disguise to confuse others.
But if she was sent by "Demoness Sect" to test her, it would seem too casual.
"I once had a mentor. She asked me to become Beyonder and helped me get promoted." She once again brought out her preparations for dealing with the Demoness Sect and said tentatively, "Unfortunately, she has died at the hands of the official Beyonder. I came to Backlund to find Demoness Sect and see if I can join them."
"Join Demoness Sect? You don't think that after becoming 'Witch', they will let you do some work of assassinating unimportant people or the relationship between Provocation gangs, right?"
Lola is quite disdainful of Angel's idea.
"Of course, they lack manpower in big cities, so they should accept you quickly, and then let you become their pawn, get close to some big shots, and control them. However," her eyes swept over Angel's face, "You may not even be able to do this well."
From her tone, Angel can easily guess what means she will use to "control some big shots".
"Of course, if you are obsessed with it, it is not difficult to find them. As long as you let them know that you have the formula of 'Assassin' Pathway, especially Mid Sequence, someone will come to your door soon. The strict control of the formula of Potion is one of the few good things Demoness Sect has done."
Indeed, on the day the Potion formula was revealed at the Mr. A rally, someone came to the door...
Angel thought of the man who followed him that night, and became more and more certain that Mr. A's party was being followed by "Demoness Sect" people. Maybe he could catch up with them next time he appeared there.
"I'm sorry for delaying your business. It's time for me to leave. I have to go to Empress Borough to attend a viscount's salon later." Pleasure Lady, who had a desire to talk, took out a delicate pocket watch and looked at it. He picked up the hat on the table, covered his face, and stood up from the chair. "If you hadn't come back to the Demoness Sect, maybe we would meet again."
Seeing Lola, she was about to open the door and leave. Angel couldn't help but ask the question she had always wanted to ask:
"How can you be sure that I am not from the Demoness Sect? Well, am I seeking promotion here?"
Due to the oath he had made, Angel could not say anything that was "acting" to people who did not know Acting Method, so he could only use a code name in a subtle way.
"You mean 'acting'?"
Lola turned around and smiled.
"I have never seen the 'Witch' of the Demoness Sect. He slowly plays the role in Divination Club. As long as it causes a disaster that affects many people, Potion can absorb most of it. There is no need to be like you."
It was like looking at a child who was ignorant of the world. Her lake-blue eyes under the black gauze showed a look of ridicule or envy, and then she turned and left the divination room.
