Chapter 172 The Ageless Witch Christina
Evan arrived at the hotel suite in the West District as usual.
After Evan moved out of Queens, Helen would go to his apartment in the Joewood neighborhood to visit him.
After he moved to Edward Street in the West End, Helen stopped visiting him as often. After all, it was very close to the headquarters of MI9, and it was better to be safe than sorry.
After knocking on the door, an arm as smooth as jade appeared, grabbed Evan by the collar, and dragged him into the room, pulling him onto the bed.
Looking at Helen straddling him, eagerly tugging at his clothes and belt, Evan said urgently:
"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you!"
Helen, already in a berserk state, retorted without a second thought, "When have you ever come here without a reason? You haven't come to see me for so long. Do you know how much I've suffered during this time? Right now, nothing is more important than this."
Evan was somewhat surprised by Helen's wildness, feeling that she was more like Natasha today. But since the beauty had said so, as a man, he shouldn't think too much about it at this moment, otherwise he wouldn't be a man.
After a long while, Evan smoked a cigarette with relish, listening to Helen's complaints as she lay in his arms.
"You heartless bastard! Do you know how much a pleasure witch needs? You haven't come to see me for so long, keeping me up at night."
The Gnostic witch role-playing has corresponding rules, which are to firmly believe in love, never betray one's lover, and to find the next lover after "eating" the lover. One must be a true Black Widow, and not engage in promiscuous relationships like the witch cult.
So, when Helen couldn't get "comfort" from Evan, she really could only rely on her "five friends" to relieve her inner turmoil.
Evan couldn't help but smile wryly and said helplessly:
"This is because you refuse to come to our door. Although Edward Street is very close to the headquarters of MI9, it can still cause a situation where the light is blind to what is being shrouded in darkness."
As far as I know, there are many secret lovers and hidden private assets of MI9 bigwigs in the vicinity, and even various secret organizations like to set up properties around MI9 headquarters, playing the game of hiding in the dark.
Besides, didn't you tell me before that things were getting tense and I shouldn't contact you unless it was important information? Why are you blaming me now?
"Don't you listen to what I say? What kind of brain do you have? I told you not to contact me easily, and you don't?"
If you really wanted to see me, how could you not have found a reason? Or is it that you don't have me in your heart? Otherwise, you would have come to find me long ago. You don't love me as much as you used to.
It seemed like Helen was trying to recapture the feeling she had when she was in love with her predecessor, acting all spoiled and unreasonable. Evan couldn't help but feel a headache coming on, so he could only roll over and pin her down again to shut her up.
Long afterward, Helen was still immersed in the "pleasure" she had just experienced and had no desire to inquire about the information. She seemed to think that the information Evan mentioned was just an excuse to come and lay holes in her clothes.
Of course, Helen can't be blamed for this, because Evan had done it before.
But Helen didn't speak, and Evan couldn't do that either, because he truly had information to pass on and could only speak up himself:
"I received a message from Natasha of the Witch Cult: they are planning to cooperate with the Aurora Society to assassinate Duke Negan tonight at Earl Green's mansion."
Today is Earl Green's 50th birthday, and he has invited many nobles and celebrities to attend. Natasha has also been invited to assist Mr. A of the Aurora Society.
This was supposedly done to divert MI9's attention from the demigod battle outside Red Rose Manor.
Upon hearing this, Helen also came to her senses, sat up, grabbed a towel and draped it over herself, solemnly muttering to herself:
"The witch cult really did have a motive for doing this!"
Although the demigod battle outside the Red Rose Manor could not be concealed, all parties tacitly downplayed Triss's presence.
The royal family pretended not to know that the Gnostic witches' target was Triss, and even claimed, in order to feign innocence, that Edsac Augustus was assassinated by two witches.
Although the sealed artifacts later confirmed that the two witches came from the Witch Cult and the Gnostic Society respectively, the fact that the two witches had previously shifted blame for each other's dirty deeds still misled many people. Many people actually believed that the Witch Cult and the Gnostic Society were two sides of the same coin and suggested that the cases be investigated together.
Neither the Witch Cult nor the Gnostic Society wanted Triss, the "Primordial Witch's" vessel, to be publicized too much, lest it attract the attention and intervention of other forces.
Evan sometimes even suspected that the royal family, or rather George III, was completely unaware of Triss's special nature, as can be seen from Ince Zangwill's complaints about "Desperate Nightingale" Panatia in the original novel, Lord of Mysteries.
Regardless of whether the royal family knew about Triss's special status before, after this unexpected incident caused by Mr. A, even if the royal family doesn't understand exactly what makes Triss special, they should have noticed something was wrong.
However, judging from the royal family's actions during this period, either the Witch Cult and the Augustan royal family have reached a new understanding.
Either George III believed Triss's existence was advantageous to him, or they didn't seem to make any moves.
While Helen was still pondering how to deal with this unexpected event, Evan casually remarked something that made her eyes widen and she immediately lose her composure.
"I have just been promoted to 'Witch' today, a remarkable trait bestowed upon me by Natasha."
"What? How is this possible? You've been promoted to 'witch'? Are you kidding me? If you're a 'witch'..."
What was that thing that just bullied me?
As she spoke, Helen lifted the thin blanket covering Evan, grabbed it and squeezed it, feeling that same texture, then looked at Evan, hoping he would give an explanation.
With his weakness in someone's hands, a red light enveloped Evan as he cautiously spoke:
"The Witch Cult has found a way for me to remain male after I've been promoted to 'Witch'."
They found a Hunter's Path Level 1 sealed artifact. Using its power, they suppressed the changes I experienced after taking the potion, so I have truly become a "witch"!
Sensing the red light emanating from Evan through the handle in her hand, Helen, as the "Pleasure" witch, was naturally certain that it was indeed the aura of the adjacent "Hunter" pathway. After a long silence, she asked urgently:
"How did you digest the 'Instigator' potion so quickly? Why did they suddenly give you a major boost? It shouldn't be like this. The various organizations are very strict in their vetting of members. Could it be that you were exposed and they're using you as bait?"
Evan shook his head and recounted how he had used Lanluus to digest the potion, only to be exploited by Robert and the military to expand the deception.
He then explained and whitewashed the reason why he could digest the potion so quickly, and said:
"Although Natasha said that the Witch Cult promoted me because I was a natural 'witch', they decided to cultivate me and that's why I was promoted."
But I think they did this because I've climbed too fast within MI9 recently, and they want to strengthen their control over me.
After all, once I became a "witch" and a woman, they would have a huge handle on me. If I did anything that displeased them, they could remove the cover for me at any time and expose the fact that I had become a woman to the world.
Helen was stunned after hearing Evan's story. She hadn't expected so many things to happen today, and those things were all very serious, beyond her control. She angrily punched Evan repeatedly, saying:
"Since something this serious happened, why didn't you say so sooner? It's wasted so much time!"
"Didn't you say nothing was more important than driving the pile? Besides, I also want to test if the leverage is still usable!"
Looking at the unreasonable Helen, Evan also felt very wronged. It was clearly Helen who delayed things, but now she was blaming him. Moreover, she was just having a good time, but now she was turning her back on him. It's really hard to understand a woman's heart.
Evan's words left Helen speechless, because she was indeed more impatient today.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the question of who was responsible, Helen felt that the two pieces of news Evan had brought today were beyond her ability to handle; the matters were too significant and too unexpected. She could only say to Evan:
"The two matters you reported today are too important for me to decide. I need to report them to my mother, and she may ask you for more details. Why don't you come with me to see her?"
Evan nodded, then looked himself over and felt that meeting his friend's mother naked was a bit too disrespectful.
So he quickly got out of bed to find the pants that Helen had thrown off the bed.
Helen, being a shy witch, glanced at the messy bed, got out of bed to tidy it up, changed into a new outfit, and then stood side by side with Evan in front of the mirror to call for her mother.
Ripples appeared on the huge dressing mirror, revealing a stunningly beautiful woman with white hair and black eyes, possessing a refined and elegant appearance.
She wore a black tulle dress that symbolized allure, revealing glimpses of her skin and highlighting its whiteness. Her pure and seductive aura combined to captivate even Evan, who had endured the trials of witches.
"This is my mother, Christina, and this is the Evan I'm singing to you!"
Although Helen knew her mother's charm, she was still a little annoyed to see her sycophant acting like this. During the introduction, she stomped hard on Evan's foot, bringing him back to his senses.
Seeing Evan clutching his foot and crying in pain, Helen's mother in the mirror laughed, clearly finding Evan's appearance amusing and also quite pleased with her own charm.
