On the outskirts of Tingen, there is a house with a green lawn. It has a garden that began to wither in early September and has a dark red chimney.
There is a desk behind the bedroom window of this house, with an ordinary notebook spread out on it.
"Crestey Sesima, who left Tingen to hunt down the "witches" of the Gnosis Society, was in charge of the sacred object 'The Sword of the Goddess'. With the help of that holy sword, he was keenly aware of the hidden dangers in the process of hunting down the "witches".
By coincidence, he actually carried the holy object alone to the town of Vinia outside Tingen, where the 'Witch of Despair' Panatia had previously appeared.
But without finding any relevant clues, he decided to go to Tingen to look for Dunn Smith, the captain of Tingen's Nighthawks team. As a person in charge of sacred objects and a Sequence 5 Spirit Witch himself, Crestel only needs to see Dunn Smith.
Well, we will definitely find his serious mental trauma. Ince Zangwill’s months of planning will usher in the fate of failure..."
…
"There is a situation in Morse Town. As the captain, Dunn takes the new member Klein to deal with it. This is reasonable. After all, there are only seven Nighthawks in Tingen."
"When Cresty arrived at the Blackthorn Security Company, he happened to find that Old Neil had been contaminated by the 'Hidden Sage', and a military airship happened to be parked in Tingen, which made Cresty lose control of his car.
The risky old Neil left Tingen early. If Dunn missed the opportunity to meet Crestel, Ince Zangwill’s plan will definitely succeed!”
…
"Azik, a professor in the history department of Hoy University, noticed the fateful coincidence. As he gradually recovered his memory, he wanted to find Ince Zangwill who took his child's skull. But he could barely get rid of the mental loss caused by the failure of promotion.
Even with the help of the 'Alsohod's Pen', the dangerous Ince Zangwill cannot escape Azik's pursuit.
In order to help Ince Zangwill, the benevolent 'Alsohod's Pen' decided to guide Azik to Backlund, where there are items that can help him. Oops, 'Alsohod's Pen'
Forgot, Azik knows enough about Him. Although he has lost most of his memory, Azik is still aware of the secret guidance of 'Alsuhod's Pen'."
…
"Because Azik's child's skull was stolen and his memory gradually recovered, he became mentally trance-like and thought it was his delusion. This was the judgment made by the top psychiatrist. This trance made Azik decide
It is reasonable to go to Backlund and search for your lost memories."
…
"With the help of the 'arbiter' hired by the Nozick family, Dunn, Klein, and Cohen successfully eliminated Mrs. Sharon. However, before her death, she counterattacked and used the statue of the 'Original Witch' to pollute Dunn.
, this made Dunn, who was already contaminated by the 'Original Witch', even more mentally unstable."
"Under such circumstances, Leonard and Klein discovered the letter left by Lanruth."
…
In the reception hall of Blackthorn Security Company on the second floor of 36 Zotland Street.
Megoose lost her left arm, her head, and her charred body that lost a lot of flesh and blood instantly disintegrated. There was something half-illusory and half-real in it that was terrifying and no longer had any basis in reality. She was unable to complete the final step of transformation, and she was unwilling to do so.
, turned into black energy angrily, and melted into the light and flames.
Boom!
The whole house was shaking violently, but this was just some of the aftermath of the "Sun Flame Spell" dissipating. Unlike a normal bomb, its power was condensed and restrained.
Klein barely managed to steady his body, and after a few seconds, he opened his eyes and looked forward.
He saw walls collapsing, he saw a circle of charred black where Megoos was standing, and the floor was only half melted.
He saw a blood-stained, curled up umbilical cord with traces of fire placed there, he saw Dunn Smith's figure in a thin black trench coat still standing there, and he saw the heart in the urn of St. Selena.
Still beating slowly, I saw Leonard Mitchell lying opposite, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
The highly exhausted Klein was overjoyed. He felt that he could still use ritual magic to rescue the captain. He felt that Megoos and the baby in her belly had truly been solved. No, the latter was closer to being interrupted and expelled.
At this time, Dunn Smith turned his head and looked at Klein, with a gentle and relaxed smile on his pale face, and his voice was as mellow as ever:
"We saved Tingen!"
Klein's expression froze on his face. He saw the heart in the urn of Saint Selina stopped beating and turned into bright spots of light, dissipating around. He saw the captain's body leaning back and his hands loosened.
Come.
Boom!
Saint Selina's urn fell to the ground, just like Klein's heart.
Gulu! Gulu! Although the urn was not covered, the deep darkness inside blocked the exit, preventing the bright grains like fine sand from spilling. The box rolled and rolled towards Klein.
Dunn Smith fell on the broken ground, his deep gray eyes lost all their energy, facing the hole where the sunlight shone in.
Captain! Klein’s vision blurred again and he wanted to shout, but that word and the following words were stuck in his throat:
We can't bear to leave you either...
At this time, the urn of Saint Selina rolled to his feet.
Suddenly, a palm reached out from the void and grabbed Klein's shoulder. As the palm exerted force, Klein staggered forward, and another slightly pale palm appeared in front of him.
The original position of the heart.
Klein stumbled and fell to the ground. When he got up, a figure was already in front of him. It was a man of medium build wearing a silk top hat and a black dress. From Klein's sight, he could see
I saw a small black mole under the man's right ear.
Mr. Azik?
Klein looked past Mr. Azik who was standing in front of him. Standing in the front was a man, a middle-aged man with short dark blond hair. He was wearing a black double-breasted gown. He was obviously blind in one eye.
The eyes are deep blue and almost black, and the outline of the facial features is like sculptures without any wrinkles.
An ordinary quill floated in front of a broken brick, frantically writing lines of words:
"Ince Zangwill is really unlucky. Although Azik is not a 'traveler', he accidentally got an 'immortal' characteristic and returned to Tingen ten minutes early with the help of the power of the underworld.
, just blocked Ince Zangwill who was about to get the ashes of Saint Selina."
"The power that a high-sequence Beyonder can unleash, for the sake of his dead child, and to retrieve the skull of his dead child, is far beyond what Ince Zangwill, who is barely at Sequence 5, can handle."
Quill? A man who is blind in one eye?
So familiar!
As a "divineer", Klein quickly confirmed why he felt familiar, because he had seen the other person's photo and related description of his appearance on the wanted poster.
This murderer is Ince Zangwill, the former archbishop of the Church of the Goddess of Night who defected with the sealed artifact "0-08", and the "gatekeeper" who failed to be promoted.
So he was the one who caused the coincidence of my fate? Klein turned his attention to the quill that was still writing crazily, or rather that quill!
Captain? Captain!
Klein, who was a little confused for a moment, quickly reacted, turned around and looked at Dunn Smith who was lying on the ground, crawled to Dunn's side, hugged his still warm body, and looked at his already
The deep gray eyes that had lost their luster looked at the obvious wound on the left side of his chest...
heart?
Klein set his sights at the feet of Ince Zangwill, where the urn containing the ashes of Saint Selena and the heart of Dunn Smith was!
Cold sweat slid down the sculpted outline of Ince Zangwill. At this moment, he no longer had the composure to control everything. A high-sequence strongman of the "Death" path stood in front of him, even if the royal family had a successor.
His backup plan, but that will have to wait until he can escape from here.
Azik's vicissitudes of life did not look at Ince Zangwill, who was sweating in cold sweat in front of him, but instead looked at the quill. Confusion appeared in his eyes. He seemed to have an impression of this quill...
…
Tamara?
"Mr. Azik?"
Klein's voice brought Azik out of his daze, and the next second, Ince Zangwill, who was standing in front of the urn of Saint Selena, stepped back crazily, as if there was an invisible spirit.
Pulling him. Suddenly his body changed from a very fast retreat to a very fast forward, as if he was about to hit Azik, but his face was full of fear.
He forgot that in the "God of Death" path, those in higher positions have a strong ability to suppress those in lower positions.
Ince Zangwill stopped moving forward. He stood frozen on the spot. The spirit that originally belonged to him had betrayed him and fixed his limbs firmly, unable to move. He could only wait for Azik's fate.
Azik glanced at the quill that had stopped writing, turned around and walked to Klein who was holding Dunn's body. Looking at Klein whose eyes were already red, his bronze-skinned face was full of seriousness, he shook his head
He shook his head and said:
"The extraordinary characteristics have been separated from his body, which is irreversible..."
The water vapor accumulated in Klein's red eyes turned into tears, and tears streaked down his face drop by drop. He felt that he did not have the strength to hug the captain's body, and Dunn Smith gradually slipped from his arms.
Azik sighed, stretched out his hand to grab it, and a ball of plasticine-like things appeared in his hand. People's faces protruded from the ball, and the faces protruded were all of the same person. Each one appeared in his hand.
Each face showed different personalities, and finally turned into a look of confusion.
He stretched out his hand and sketched out mysterious symbols that were pale and dark green. These symbols were intertwined with each other to form an illusory bronze door. The surface of this bronze door was covered with various mysterious patterns, and it had an indescribable depth.
and a sense of deathly silence.
With a "squeak" sound, the door shook and opened a gap. Behind the gap was an endless darkness that could not be seen through, just like the deepest and heaviest night sky.
Azik threw the ball of plasticine in his hand into the bronze door. After a few seconds, a ball of plasticine appeared in a miserable green color and flew out like a closed bronze door. There were countless resentful souls and spirits wandering on it.
From its surface, you can even hear miserable screams if you get close.
"Put it on his wound, but the chance of him waking up is very small. The greater possibility is that he will become a monster."
This is the characteristic of a Sequence 5 "Gatekeeper", but Dunn Smith is only a "Nightmare" of Sequence 7. Although the sequences are adjacent, they have spanned two sequences. But this is the only way Azik can think of.
This characteristic was separated from the "immortal" and was tainted with the power of "immortal" in that tomb.
If Dunn is a Sequence 5 "Spirit Witch", then it would be more appropriate to take the complete "Undead" characteristic. With Azik's help, the possibility of recovery is very high, but he is just a Sequence 7 "Nightmare". There is
Azik couldn't tell how likely it was.
Klein took the attribute tremblingly, looked at Dunn Smith who seemed to be sleeping, and placed the attribute inside the wound on his left chest.
"Captain, I hope you wake up and find that this was just a nightmare..."
Azik looked away and looked at Leonard Mitchell, who had just moved his body. He frowned and Leonard groaned and fainted again.
Ince Zangwill's body was completely stiff, his head was hanging down, and his short dark blond hair was completely wet with sweat and stuck together wetly, as if he was waiting for the death sentence.
Suddenly, the sealed object "0-08" that had stopped writing next to it started writing crazily again:
"For some unknown reason, Azik, who saw the pen of 'Alsuhod', fell into the memory of reincarnation again. The complicated memories impacted his spirit. He briefly used the power of 'Underworld' twice.
Lost the ability to control Ince Zangwill’s spirit..."
Azik fell into confusion again, looking blankly at everything unfamiliar around him.
This is where?
who I am?
As the writing of "0-08" was completed, Ince Zangwill, who was hanging his head one second, was pulled back by an invisible spirit the next second. He raised his head, revealing a sweaty face.
On his face, his blue-to-dark eyes flashed with light, "0-08" jumped onto him and was written on his double-breasted tuxedo.
"Ince Zangwill unexpectedly benefited from the situation when his own soul was controlled. He is in very good condition at the moment and has returned to the level before he was promoted to demigod. If he can do it again, he will definitely be promoted to demigod.
Demi god.
But Ince Zangwill, who had already fallen into fear, did not want to stay for another second. He wanted to escape quickly, taking the pen of 'Alsuhod' and fleeing to Backlund. Only there could he protect himself.
Security and the security of 'Alsohod's Pen'.
An unknown being attracted by the power of the underworld came here and was very sympathetic to Ince Zangwill's experience and decided to take him away from the spirit world."
Azik suddenly raised his head, looked at Ince Zangwill who was about to enter the spirit world, and stepped forward to enter the spirit world first.
Klein looked at the two people who suddenly disappeared. His pale face showed no expression and he lowered his head again. He looked at Dunn Smith. The wound on his left chest, which appeared to be a bronze door, had disappeared and melted into his flesh and blood.
inside.
The tears in his eyes were still flowing down, but the expression on Klein's face finally changed. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he began to cough violently as if he was being choked.
Cough! Cough!
He felt that his lungs were about to be coughed up, his eyelids began to droop, and a black shadow slowly spread from the edge of his vision, falling into darkness.
