Chapter 2 The Beginning of the Transmigration, Assassin's Potion
In reality, Evan and the butler were only in a daze when they saw Dunn leading Leonard away from the reception room.
Just after Butler Buck left the drawing room to continue urging the servants to clean the house, Evan stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the drawing room, still in his pajamas, watching Dunn and Leonard being led away by the servants.
At that moment, a slender, fair hand rested on his shoulder, and a seductive, languid voice asked:
"What are you thinking about? Don't worry, with the ring I gave you, the Night Watchers definitely won't notice anything wrong with you."
As she spoke, she pulled Evan around and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Evan gently broke free from the naked, beautiful woman in his arms, turned around, sat on the sofa, covered his face with his hands, and sighed deeply.
The woman didn't care. She walked to the full-length mirror in the corner, fiddled with her body, and showed Evan her smooth back, filling the whole room with an alluring atmosphere.
"I know you're very unhappy, but I've also promised on behalf of my mother that as long as you complete the task, you will definitely have the opportunity to become a man again in the future."
After all, the witches of our "Gnostic Society" are not like those perverts who are dedicated to making men suffer the same pain as them.
Besides, you're not going to become a woman right now; it won't happen until you advance to Sequence 7.
To make it up to you, I've been spending all this time with you, making sure you enjoy yourself to the fullest!
The woman's charm failed to attract the attention of the man behind her.
Wearing a bathrobe, Evan raised his head to look at the woman who made no attempt to hide herself, staring at her stunning face in the mirror, and still said indignantly:
"You never gave me a choice. You yourself said that your organization clearly had other Sequence 9 potions, but you didn't ask for my opinion. You just tricked me into drinking the 'Assassin' potion,' which sounded very powerful, without telling me that the Sequence 7 potion was 'Witch', which would turn men into women. You never considered my feelings!"
Looking in the mirror at the young man, who remained furious even after several days, the woman felt a headache coming on. She turned and nestled beside Evan, wrapping her arms around his neck and gently kissing his lips with her moist lips, whispering:
"Evan, I know how you feel and I understand your feelings. We were forced into this situation."
Our archenemy, the Witch Cult, is scrambling in Backlund, possibly plotting a grand conspiracy, but we know nothing of the details.
All the witches in our "Genji Society" are promoted from female form, making it difficult for them to blend in. That's why we carefully selected you in the end.
Do you know what our selection criteria are? It's from all the witches' beloved ones, and you are mine.
My dear, this is also an opportunity for you. Haven't you always longed to be an extraordinary person?
Your mother has promised that if you can find out what the Witch Cult is plotting in Backlund, she will definitely help you regain your male form.
You should know that regaining your male form is only possible by becoming a high-ranking powerhouse. Combined with the 'role-playing method' I've taught you, which will allow you to advance rapidly, this is a golden opportunity for you!
Hearing this, and looking at the woman who was still clinging tightly to his neck, her expression sincere and her appearance pitiful, Evan Horn finally suppressed his anger, nodded, and said with difficulty:
"Helen, I can help you gather information. I'm doing all this for you, and I hope your mother will keep her word. Otherwise, I'll fight to the death!"
Helen was naturally delighted to hear Evan say that, and immediately gave him a kiss. Their lips met, and the kiss was so intense that Evan could hardly breathe.
The witch's kiss was always so alluring, and Evan gradually began to react. Helen noticed this and just smiled gently, then became even more proactive in entwining with Evan.
…………
"Your brother's reply should be arriving in Tingen soon. I should also head to Backlund to make some preparations. You'll still be using 'Golden Gaze,' as it's very helpful in concealing your identity and evading the detection of other extraordinary beings. Well then, see you in Backlund, my little darling!"
After a long while, Helen, her face flushed, put on her clothes, gave Evan, who was also covered in sweat, a final kiss, and teased him. Then she turned and disappeared from the room, clearly having left.
Looking at the empty reception room, the young Evan remained expressionless. After a long while, he turned the yellow sapphire ring on his left hand, revealing a wicked smile, and chuckled softly:
"The Emperor was right, the witch tastes really good!"
Evan stepped off the sofa, put on his slightly worn pajamas, and walked to the huge French windows. Looking at the busy gardeners and servants coming and going outside, he couldn't help but think about the events of the past week.
At this time, Evan was no longer the original Evan, but a transmigrator from Earth. His parents died in a car accident and he was raised by his grandmother. Thanks to the compensation and his grandmother's retirement pension, he did not have a difficult life. After graduating from university, his grandmother passed away due to illness, leaving him all alone and officially becoming a candidate for transmigrator (alone).
On February 24, 2023, he lay in his hospital bed, on a ventilator, holding an ordinary Xiaomi phone, and watched the finale of "Lord of Mysteries" and the trailer for "Lord of Mysteries 2" with regret. Finally, he closed his eyes with reluctance.
But to his surprise, when he opened his eyes, he found himself transmigrated into the body of a handsome young man who was hanging himself in mid-air in his bedroom.
It didn't take Evan long to figure out his situation.
The good news is that I've traveled through time; the bad news is that I've traveled to the world of Lord of Mysteries.
Even though Evan was a die-hard fan of Lord of Mysteries, he simply couldn't accept the fact that he had been transported to the world of Lord of Mysteries. If he had a choice, he would never want to come here.
Because he had integrated the original owner's memories, and the integration was quite good and complete, it took Evan an entire night to get rid of the headache caused by integrating the memories.
After accepting the memories of this body and completing the memory integration, Evan discovered that he no longer had complete memories of "Lord of Mysteries," but only a illusory copy of the book appeared in his mind.
The "Lord of Mysteries" that appeared in his mind could even be flipped through like a real book, but unfortunately, he could only flip through up to the volume where the protagonist Klein successfully avenged Ince Zangwill, which matched the memories that Evan had now retained.
The only benefit Evan has discovered so far is that it allows him to view details in Lord of Mysteries more accurately.
However, even the memories of Lord of Mysteries that have been preserved are somewhat incomplete.
That is the last part of the last chapter of the fourth volume of "Lord of Mysteries", which has already been unlocked. The protagonist of the novel, Klein, sees a blurry mess at the end, leaving Evan confused and itching to know what to do.
Evan never imagined that he would have to go through all that again in this life, after suffering the pain of following the updates of "Lord of Mysteries" and the resentment of not being able to see "Lord of Mysteries 2" in his previous life.
After integrating his memories, Evan's first reaction was to quickly find the calendar in his bedroom to see which time period he had traveled to.
Upon confirming that he had transmigrated on the same day as Klein, Evan couldn't help but feel excited. He immediately opened the book "Lord of Mysteries" that appeared in his mind and, referring to Klein's preparations, saw if he could gain the approval of the gray mist above the spirit world.
With the help of Mr. Buck, the housekeeper, Evan prepared the food needed for the ceremony.
But just as Evan uttered the first sentence, "Blessed Immortal Venerable Xuanhuang," a gray mist appeared before his eyes, and at the same time, he felt an immense threat and profound fear.
This was a deep-rooted sense of vigilance and fear, like a creature encountering its natural enemy. When Evan was facing the faintly visible gray mist, he felt that if he uttered the full name of the deity, he would be swallowed up by the gray mist and die without a burial place.
Shocked, Evan waved his hand and knocked over the food meant for the ritual, abruptly interrupting the ceremony and severing his connection with the gray mist.
When the butler, who had been secretly keeping watch outside Evan's room, heard the commotion and rushed in, he saw that Evan's clothes were soaked with sweat and his eyes were full of relief at surviving the ordeal.
Evan was completely baffled by this situation and could only guess that it was because the biggest cheat code in Lord of Mysteries could only be inherited by Klein, or that Klein had already gained the approval of the Gray Mist.
So Evan decided to see if he could try joining the mysterious online dating and shopping platform, Tarot Club, again after Klein took the potion five days later.
Since he couldn't get the protagonist's cheat ability, Evan hoped to join the platform built by the protagonist.
After temporarily abandoning his attempt to enter the gray fog, Evan focused his attention on why the original owner of this body had died. After transmigrating, Evan found himself hanging from the ceiling of his bedroom, and there were no scratch marks on his thighs, which was obviously abnormal.
If Evan hadn't struggled so much after transmigrating, causing a commotion that his shoes hit the French windows and the servants to burst in, he would have died the moment he arrived, just like the original owner of this body.
This is why Butler Buck was worried about standing guard outside the door when Evan was performing the ritual, since Evan had a history of suicide attempts.
After clarifying the original owner's memories, Evan learned that he was also a victim of the Antigonus Notebook.
The original owner of this body was cheerful but also a devotee of mysticism. She actively participated in various mystical exchange meetings, most of which involved encountering fraud gangs. She was often ripped off and drank many unpleasant substances, but she still enjoyed it immensely.
But the more gatherings you attend, the more likely you are to encounter the real thing.
Because his background and appearance perfectly matched the Aurora Society's corporate culture, the first person to approach him was a member of the Aurora Society—Haynason Vancent.
The two met in a divination class. After Evan showed interest in the occult, Heinz Vancent actively approached the original owner of the body and demonstrated some of the wonders of divination, which aroused the original owner's admiration and great interest.
It was at Heinerson Vancent’s house that the original owner accidentally discovered the Antigonus family’s notes and opened them. Although he didn’t spend much time looking at them and didn’t decipher much of the content, the original owner foolishly performed the ritual according to the contents.
Although no problems arose at the time, based on the timeline of his own time travel, Evan basically concluded that the original owner's suicide was related to the Antigonus family notes killing to cover it up, which was similar to Klein's experience.
Thinking of this, Evan couldn't help but rub his furrowed brows.
For Evan, the matter of Hynarson Vancent was just the least troublesome thing the original owner of the body had caused.
The original owner not only met Heinz Vancent at a divination conference, but he also met the witch Helen, with whom he had just spent a night, at other occult conferences.
