chapter.31 In crisis(2/2)
Even Alice, who lacks common sense in the extraordinary world, knows that such a reason is too unusual, but Mrs. Beatrice is now controlled by her gifted spells and multiple illusions, and there is absolutely no possibility of lying.
In other words, she really thinks so.
Therefore, the key to everything lies in the "opportunity for promotion" she calls it.
"What are the conditions required for the promotion of 'Happy'?"
Alice asked.
"The first step is to fully master the potion, then prepare the materials mentioned in the formula, mix the potion, and finally..."
"What's the last step?" Alice said patiently in a persuasive tone.
Mrs. Beatrice, who stopped talking for unknown reasons, finally gave an answer with some difficulty.
"Finally, in the pain of the death of the one you love, take the magic potion and complete your promotion and transformation..."
"...Does it have to be this kind of pain? The death of a loved one?"
Alice was stunned for a moment when she heard this.
"The mourning lady said that the more deeply we love someone and the person who has the most profound impact on us, the grief when we die can help us resist madness. Otherwise, we will only be defeated by the pain in the potion and become irrational.
The monster..."
Mrs. Beatrice answered very slowly, almost word for word, but every word was extremely clear and there was no possibility of mishearing.
"So, Miranda and Sally..." Alice almost immediately thought of the pair of witches who always cuddled together.
She didn't need to say anything more, as Mrs. Beatrice continued in a hollow voice.
"The abnormal love between Miranda and Sally was caused by the side effects of a certain extraordinary item. The mourning lady ordered me to take this item from their hands, but not to attract the attention of others... In addition, no matter which one of them
If one person successfully meets the ritual conditions, the other person must also be dealt with. So I plan to inform them privately about the ritual requirements for the promotion of 'Happiness', so..."
As a result, lovers who had feelings for each other due to external forces in the past will become suspicious of each other, and may even fall into a situation of killing each other.
Alice vaguely sensed the problem.
"...That Triss is also a member who needs to be 'dealt with'? Stephanie too?"
Mrs. Beatrice, who knew everything under the influence of the spell, gave the answer very honestly.
"If Tris shows signs of losing control, she must be dealt with... Stephanie, she seems to have fallen in love with the target person's youngest son, and wants to break away from the control of the sect, marry an ordinary person and have children... I need to observe her situation,
If she decides to betray, then I can only punish her accordingly."
So, this is the truth behind this party?
Although she knew that this was a trivial matter that had nothing to do with her purpose, Alice still couldn't restrain her curiosity and asked a few more questions. She learned that Mrs. Beatrice had been holding this regular gathering for more than a year, and similar treatment had no longer been the case.
First time.
As for the uninvited guest "Claire" who broke into this party, Mrs. Beatrice admitted that she could not make the decision and would pass the information to the mourning lady, who would then make the decision.
But as for when the senior lady will send the proactive contact, Mrs. Beatrice cannot guarantee.
"Irregular contact cannot avoid information lag... It seems that the 'processing workshop' here is not too important in the eyes of the senior management, or other surveillance eyes and ears are arranged."
Considering that Mrs. Beatrice is even a member of the sect who has mastered the witch promotion sequence 5 ritual, the latter is even more likely.
In this way, Alice will come into the sight of that senior lady sooner or later.
But this is exactly the effect she wanted.
"Claire" is her false identity, and "Alice" is also not her real name. Anti-divination and anti-prophecy are her favorite areas. Even if there is a great power in this world that can turn back time, it is impossible to find it.
Show the traces she left behind.
The theory that "everything you have done must leave a trace" cannot work for Alice.
As long as these anomalies are discovered, the mourning lady at the top of the sect will have no choice but to contact Mrs. Beatrice, who has had face-to-face contact with "Claire".
This will also provide her with the opportunity to find the other person in reverse.
The control implanted in Mrs. Beatrice needs to be maintained as much as possible. I don’t know if it can be maintained until the mourning lady takes the initiative to contact...
Alice nodded and estimated that the time should be about the same, so she organized her thoughts and asked the final question.
Just as she was about to speak, a familiar voice suddenly sounded deep in her heart, with an obvious sense of tension and urgency in her mood.
"Hey! Alice, are you there? You must be here! You can hear me, right? Are you done over there? Anyway, no matter it's over or not, you have to listen to me, my side... there's something going on here!
Quick, help me think of a solution! It's best to come and save me... No, no, I have dignity, saving is not quite accurate... Damn it, I can almost feel the word "danger" appearing on my head...
"
...fuck?
Alice was a little confused and couldn't respond in time. It wasn't until a lot of messy heart sounds came from the other side in a panic that she started the telepathic call and sent her reply:
"I still need about five minutes to finish the work. Can you hold on?...All the potions have been used up?"
"Five minutes! I don't feel like five minutes... No, it has nothing to do with the potions. It's better to say that I can't find a chance to use them. Five minutes... I try my best to hold on, but it's hard to say..."
"What happened? Were you involved in some murder scene and considered a suspect?"
Because of the effect of telepathy, Alice knew that her thoughts at this time would be captured by the spell's effect, so she simply relied on instinct and asked Mrs. Beatrice the question she had thought of before——
What is the general situation of those witches who were originally women?
"No, why would you consider murder? No matter how accidental I am, I won't be like a certain...fuck, f*ck, f*ck, this woman is so proactive that it's scary... shouldn't she?
Is she a witch? No, no, I’m a bit confused now, so I can’t think of the worst in everything..."
Unlike the honest voice deep in her heart, when Mrs. Beatrice heard the last question asked by Alice, she actually showed a painful struggle on her face, vaguely indicating that she was about to break away from the control of suggestion.
Alice is no stranger to similar reactions.
