The First Gospel Chapter 92: Alive
" First question, how do you prove that you have only recently joined the association?"
Gu Yun is a pragmatic person. Even if the two sides are in a hostile position, he will not use deception.
In other words, if Avril had followed Marianne for a long time and had harmed innocent people, he would naturally not let her go, let alone agree to such unreasonable conditions as letting Avril go if she answered questions truthfully.
"You were very skilled when you attacked Brother Gu Yun just now. It didn't seem like it was your first time doing it."
Xia Mu chimed in, but her criticism was not directed at Ivry's identity as a witch, but at all the opposite sex who approached or were hostile to Gu Yun.
"I'm sorry. I was wrong."
Avril's head almost dropped to the floor, and she carefully pulled a badge out of her pocket, "This is my ID card, it has my membership date on it."
Gu Yun took it and examined it carefully for a moment. The pattern on the emblem was a totem he had never seen before. It was plated with gold. At the very bottom of the totem was engraved Avril's name and the time she joined the club.
The time was September 10th, two months ago.
"When a witch dies, the spell cast on her will disappear, so her body will quickly decay into a mummy." Avril said, "This emblem is used to identify the identity of a dead witch..."
"How do we know if this is something you forged to deceive us?"
Before Gu Yun could speak, Xia Mu asked with a look of disbelief.
"I...I still have my student ID!"
Avril hesitated for a long time before she hurriedly took out her student ID from her wallet. The information on the ID showed that she was a student of a high school. She never expected that the thing she once hated the most would help her in a critical moment.
"I joined the association just because I didn't want to go to school..."
Immortality, eternal youth, and magical powers beyond ordinary humans.
It is difficult for anyone to resist these temptations, but the senior who invited her at that time did not tell her that being a witch is such a dangerous profession and that she may be hunted at any time.
"Second question, Master Luo's daughter and An Ling are missing. Where did you take them?"
"Who is An Ling..."
"my friend!"
"girlfriend?"
"Is it important?"
"I mean, if it's a female, she might have been absorbed into the association. The seniors said that the mistress needs some fresh blood."
Training a witch is an extremely long and tedious process. It took her more than two months to memorize some of the most basic material names and rituals. It is said that what they learned was already a product of many simplified versions.
The steps of witchcraft are extremely demanding, especially for summoning spells. If you are not careful, you may suffer backlash. For this reason, many ambitious witches eventually died under their own spells.
Avril doesn't have such strong ambitions, she just wants to live freely according to her own ideas.
In fact, she didn't want to go abroad at all, and didn't want to come to this unfamiliar city, but due to the threats from her seniors and the mistress, she didn't dare to resist.
"If you want to save them, you have to act quickly, because they will start learning spells in a day or two."
Having innate affinity is one thing, but being able to apply it is another.
According to the words of the predecessors, out of ten apprentices with an affinity for magic, only one or two can eventually grow up.
Avril is the only lucky one among the ten people recently.
She still vaguely remembered the days when she and other witches of the same generation were called into the society. They had different identities and were distributed in various industries. However, now she was the only one left.
Avril doesn't think that her talent is far superior to others, but she is the most obedient one among her peers this time.
"Since you have seen other witches, you must have seen the three-headed dog, right?"
Gu Yun did not comment.
"One of the basic courses is to use the summoning ritual to summon them to your side."
But the problem is that the three-headed dogs are different from the Huskies raised by the neighbors. They are brutal by nature and difficult to control. She saw with her own eyes that one of her classmates was torn to pieces by a three-headed dog in front of them.
Moreover, according to the predecessors, the three-headed dog is not the only species that can be summoned.
Once there are problems with the materials or steps of the ritual, it is very likely to summon terrifying creatures beyond imagination.
"In addition to this course, courses that use offensive spells are also prone to backlash and injury."
"Where did the Society take them?"
"I don't know either." Avril said hesitantly, "I'm just a junior apprentice. Originally, I would have the hope of becoming a formal member only after the seniors have completed today's mission and proved themselves."
The specific content of the mission is to seduce... no, it should be said that it is to control an important figure in the financial industry.
Training newcomers is a job that only predecessors who have survived for at least several centuries can do.
"Since you are one of them, find a way to find out."
Xia Mu said with a straight face.
Avril's tears were still on her face, and she looked pitiful, but it had no effect in front of them.
"I'm sorry, I just can't do that..."
Avril took out a pendant that she had crushed. "This is a tool used to monitor each member. I have destroyed it. If I hadn't done this, I might have been killed by the spell left by the mistress."
When Avril learned of her senior's death, she was cautious.
She heard a rumor that the mistress ended a woman's suffering prematurely when she was about to be tortured.
But she didn't want to be treated like that.
She had worked so hard to complete all the courses as an apprentice and finally obtained magical powers beyond ordinary people. This should have been the prelude to her wonderful life, so how could it end here so abruptly?
"The props were destroyed. If they meet me, they will definitely not let me go."
"So, you are no longer useful to Brother Gu Yun."
Xia Mu saw the essence of the matter at a glance.
"Don't jump to conclusions. I know some basic spells that can prevent you from being attacked by witches... In addition, I am also good at making coffee, sweeping and mopping the floor. The seniors usually leave these tasks to me! I am very obedient and good at doing odd jobs!"
Avril made up her mind and spoke.
She has now thrown aside all her reserve and pride as a witch - eternal youth and superhuman magic are all clouds, only survival is real.
Someone has to be a traitor anyway, so why can't it be her?
"Brother Gu Yun, this woman definitely has no good intentions!"
Xia Mu widened his eyes and looked at Avril who kept begging for mercy.
"Question three."
Gu Yun was unmoved. To be honest, he didn't understand what "that kind of thing" referred to, but he became interested in the spell that Avril mentioned.
"How do you control others?"
