Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 179 Odysseus, the Specialist in Treating Difficult and Complex Diseases
When we arrived at Darren's house, the person who opened the door was a woman wearing gloves and a hood, with even her eyes covered with gauze.

Darren said happily: "Henna, Mr. Wizard is here."

Henna seemed a little nervous: "Mr. Wizard...Mr. Wizard."

Odysseus said, "Let me see what's going on."

Henna was obviously hesitant, but Darren said, "Have you forgotten Mark's child? This wizard cured his strange disease."

With the encouragement of her husband, Henna took off her hood.

Odysseus, who had seen many strange things, was also stunned by the scene before him.

A skull appeared before his eyes. There was no muscle, no skin, nothing but bones. There were two empty holes where the eyes should be, and white teeth where the mouth should be.

Darren on the side took a deep breath, trying to hide his uneasiness: "Goddess, there's not even any muscle left."

Odis paused for a second or two before he remembered to open the "Eye of Prying Eyes".

What made him feel strange was that Henna's spirit in front of him was normal. Apart from some fear and anxiety, she had no other special emotions.

And judging from the various light balls, He is still relatively healthy.

There was even some light flashing above her head, proving that she would have good luck recently.

Closing the "Eye of Prying Eyes", Odysseus thought to himself: This is a bit strange.

Generally speaking, when a person undergoes such a drastic change, they are either cursed or have been subjected to extraordinary pollution.

No matter what the situation is, you can find some clues using the Eye of Secrets.

Odysseus thought for a moment and asked, "Let's talk about the customer you received three days ago.

"There are two people in total, right? A lady and a maid?"

The skull in front of him nodded slightly: "Yes."

Odysseus asked, "Is there anything special about their clothes and ornaments?"

Henna thought for a moment and said, “The lady was wearing a uniquely shaped ring inlaid with a sapphire.

"I don't know if it's my illusion, but the ring seems to glow."

Odysseus pinched his forehead lightly. It sounded like the problem was with the ring.

However, you still need to know what type of ability the other party has used before taking the next step.

Otherwise, if we act rashly, it will be difficult to determine what measures to take to help Henna recover.

Odysseus took a deep breath. Now he could only use the "process of elimination". He first took out a glass bottle with a yellow cap, then took out a piece of paper and poured some golden powder on the paper.

Then Odysseus said, "Take off your gloves and touch the powder."

Henna obediently took off her gloves, and Odysseus saw a hand with complete skeleton, or rather, only bones.

The fingers of this hand bent slightly and touched the golden powder.

Odysseus said, "Okay."

This proves that the other party is not an undead creature, otherwise it would have a very painful reaction as soon as it touched the powder.

Odysseus poured out the golden powder on the paper, poured some transparent powder on it, and let Henna touch it again.

There was no reaction, which meant it wasn't some strange disease.

After trying seven kinds of powder in a row, Henna did not have any drastic reaction.

Just when Darren and his wife were about to despair, Odysseus saw something and stretched out his hand and said, "Touch the palm of my hand with your fingers."

Henna was slightly taken aback, but still did as she was told.

Odysseus did not feel any hardness of bones, it felt like a normal hand was touching him.

And when there was still a little distance between the bones of the hand and the palm of Odysseus, Odysseus felt the touch.

This made Odysseus suddenly smile and said, "I fell into a misunderstanding at the beginning."

The above findings prove that Henna's muscles and skin are still there, but they are no longer visible.

It’s not that the muscles and skin have completely disappeared for some reason.

Odysseus sat on a chair and said to Darren and his wife, "I've found some clues. Please don't disturb me for now. Let me think about it."

Darren and his wife were a little surprised and stood there not daring to move.

While thinking, Odysseus slowly took out his pipe, filled it with tobacco, rubbed it with his thumb and index finger, rubbed out a little flame, and lit the pipe.

Darren and his wife looked at each other, but at this time, no expression could be seen on Henna's face. Only Darren showed a surprised expression at first, but soon he was slightly relieved, as if he saw hope from the "witchcraft" of this trick.

Odysseus had just been thinking for a few minutes and had not finished smoking his pipe when a little girl of six or seven years old poked her head out and opened the door.

Darren quickly said, "Annie, come here quickly and don't disturb Mr. Wizard from thinking."

Henna quickly hid in the inner room and put on gloves and a hood.

The little girl looked at the wizard sitting on the chair with curiosity. She walked cautiously to her father and whispered, "I met Reverend Tony."

Darren immediately became nervous: "You...you didn't say anything nonsense?"

"No...no." The little girl stammered.

Odysseus reached out and extinguished the tobacco in his pipe. He looked at the little girl and smiled, "But you still revealed your mother's peculiarity, didn't you?"

The little girl nodded in surprise.

Darren was stunned for a moment, then quickly squatted down and asked, "What did you say?"

"Pastor Tony asked me why we didn't go to church on Sunday?" The little girl said, "I said my mom was sick and couldn't go."

Darren nodded. This was the phrase he taught his daughter.

The little girl Annie continued, "Pastor Tony asked me what was wrong with me. I said I didn't know.

"He asked me if I had a cough or if I felt any pain. I said I felt uncomfortable all over..."

The subsequent questions and answers were beyond Annie's "scope of answering". Finally, after Pastor Tony got the answer that "the skin all over his body became somewhat transparent", he immediately returned to the church.

Darren stood up and walked to the window. Seeing that the church members had not arrived yet, he asked Odysseus, "Mr. Wizard? What should we do now?"

"Don't worry." Odysseus asked, "What is your family's faith?"

"Goddess of the Night."

Odysseus nodded and said, "The next action requires the help of people from the church. It's a good thing they can come."

Then he added, "Let Henna come out again. I have some questions for her."

Henna had already put on her gloves and hood. Odysseus said, "Try to recall as many details as possible about that lady. For example, did she have any identification on her? What were the characteristics of the carriage she was riding in? Or were there any other strange things?"

Henna thought for a moment before saying, "Well, after the lady left, I found a note on the ground."

"Bring it here quickly." Odysseus said immediately.

"There was only an address on it." Henna said helplessly, "I saw it was useless, so I threw it away."

Odysseus asked, "What's the address?"

"I... I forgot." Hina didn't take it seriously at the time. She just took a look and threw it away.

Odysseus took out the spiritual materials and pen he had brought with him, quickly drew a magic circle on the ground, and then said to Hena: "Stand inside, with your feet placed in these two positions."

When Henna stood in the designated position, Odysseus took out a piece of paper and a pen and spread the paper on the table.

Then Odysseus held the pen in one hand and stretched out his other hand to Henna and said, "Put your hand on mine... Let the child go out first, take off the gloves, and put your real hand on mine."

Darren asked Annie to go out and play for a while. When the child left, Henna took off her gloves again and touched Odysseus's palm with her fingers.

Odysseus continued, "Start recalling the lady's appearance and the scene when you picked up the note. Don't let any distractions occur, and remember it carefully."

Odysseus stepped on a symbol of the magic circle and injected spirituality into it. Then he closed his eyes and felt the overflow of Henna's thoughts with his heart.

The magic circle he just drew was the "mind magic circle" that the "Wisdom Helmet" had used before, but it was the "mind magic circle" that he had improved.

With the help of this magic circle, Odysseus can use the method of "meditation" to use his spiritual power to contact Henna's thoughts and obtain corresponding information.

Otherwise, ritual magic must be used to conduct "spiritual communication."

But Odysseus was not too keen on asking any god for strength now.

Time seemed to stand still, and Henna was concentrating on recalling. Odysseus had one hand in contact with Henna and the other hand holding a pen. Both of them were standing and sitting, neither moving.

Suddenly, Odysseus opened his eyes, and Darren was surprised to find that the wizard now had only whites of his eyes but no pupils.

The moment he opened his eyes, his hand holding the pen immediately moved, like a printer, drawing a clear portrait from top to bottom in a few seconds, and writing down information such as hair color and pupil color.

Finally, an address was written in the lower left corner of the paper: No. 172 Hailin Avenue.

Odysseus took a deep breath and closed his eyes again. When he opened them again, his eyes had returned to normal: "Okay, it's okay."

Henna stopped reminiscing, withdrew her hand, and put on the gloves again.

Only then did she see the portrait drawn by Odysseus: "Oh my God, this is the lady."

Darren complimented from the side: "Mr. Wizard's magic is really powerful!"

Odysseus waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing.

He took a look at the portrait. It was a very beautiful woman with long black hair and narrow eyes. Her facial features were not particularly outstanding when viewed separately, but when put together, they gave a very sweet feeling.

Odysseus, who had experienced the suburban castle before, could tell that there was something wrong with this woman just by looking at her appearance.

This is a kind of spiritual judgment. Anyone who has seen a "witch" will notice the difference between their appearance and that of a real beauty when they see a "witch" again.

Odysseus couldn't explain the difference clearly. If he had to say one thing, it would be that everything on their faces was growing in a "beautiful direction", as if there were no flaws at all.

If you are spiritually strong and have seen a "witch", you will realize that this is actually a bit unnatural.

This is the woman in front of me. No matter who you show this portrait to, they will say she is beautiful.

That's the problem, because few people can meet everyone's aesthetic standards.

As for the address, Odysseus frowned. It was on the same street as his "home"!

Fortunately, my home is in the middle section, but this address is at one end of the street.

With these clues, Odysseus smiled and said, "Okay, let's wait."

When the official extraordinary people arrive, we will go and arrest them.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Odysseus saw from the window that a carriage with the "Holy Emblem of the Night" came outside, and three policemen got off from it.

Among them was an acquaintance: Captain Carl.

In the previous joint operation between the "Mechanical Heart" and the "Nighthawks", the captain of the "Nighthawks" team had served as the liaison between the two official Beyonder organizations.

Odysseus once followed him and Captain Ikanser to set traps for the "Rose School" and translated the text of "Ancient Dragon Script".

What Odysseus didn't know was that Captain Carl had once helped Lelouch hide important clues.

Soon Captain Carl came knocking on the door. Darren and his wife stood together, arm in arm, looking very nervous and reluctant to open the door.

Odysseus slowly stood up and opened the door: "Hello, Captain Carl."

Captain Carl and the two team members remained alert. Carl asked, "Who are you?"

"You forgot that I once translated the 'Ancient Dragon Language' for you." Odysseus immediately "introduced himself".

Carl's face was a little confused.

Odysseus was stunned: Could this guy have forgotten?
Thinking that "bad memory" was a "characteristic" of the "Insomniacs," Odysseus explained: "An intelligence officer of the 'Mechanical Heart'."

Karl frowned: “When did you…”

...growing a beard?
Odysseus smiled and said, "I'm doing some research."

Karl didn’t ask any more questions, but looked at Darren and his wife in the room.

He said, "According to convention, this case is under our responsibility."

"Of course I know." Odysseus smiled, "But I've basically figured out what happened and found the criminal's address. I don't think it's necessary to repeat the work."

But to Odysseus's surprise, Carl said, "Let's investigate it ourselves."

This made Odysseus stunned. When he met the captain of the "Nighthawks" before, he didn't feel that he was a stubborn and ruthless person.

But since the other party said so, Odysseus had no choice but to move aside: "Please. Well, it's best not to scare them."

At the request of Carl and others, Henna took off her hood again.

Seeing the skeleton in front of him, one team member almost drew his gun and fired a "purification bullet".

Odysseus sat aside and watched the investigation of the "Nighthawks" members quietly.

He glanced again at the portrait on the table and suddenly felt that something was amiss. Captain Carl, who wasn't particularly difficult to get along with and knew I was an informant for the Mechanical Heart, had suddenly changed her temper and insisted on investigating on her own. This woman...

At this time, Henna was answering the Nighthawk's questions and talking about the lady's characteristics, including the ring inlaid with gems.

Odysseus suddenly put all these together and got a surprising answer!
