Start with the Readers Chapter 487: The aftermath of the event

"Is that... Grand Thief 'Dark Emperor'?

"It was he who broke the 'Abyss of Flesh' ceremony?"

A member of the "Punisher" team blurted out.

Because His Excellency "Singer of God" attached great importance to the Kapin case, he had been investigating this "hero" who appeared in Backlund recently, so he recognized it at a glance.

"Impossible! How could the master's ceremony be destroyed by a ghost that is not even a high-sequence?!" Seeing this scene, Mr. A suddenly opened his eyes wide, and under the indifferent blood color was unbelievable shock.

You must know that the reason why he was not in a hurry to deal with the "little bugs" who had sneaked into the basement was that they were absolutely incapable of stopping the "ceremony".

Although he was full of disbelief, Mr. A quickly came back to his senses, because he also noticed that a saint was approaching quickly, and if he did not escape as soon as possible, he would never be able to leave again... Losing the blessing of the ceremony, he now But there is no so-called "rebirth" ability.

Just as he was about to move, "Secret Technique Instructor" Stuart also raised his right hand at the same time, pointing at Mr. A who was naked because of "rebirth", and said an ancient Hermetic word:

"Imprisoned!"

Mr. A's surroundings suddenly became viscous, as if forming a huge amber, or surrounding a sealed transparent wall.

He froze in place, unable to move.

After the "Flesh Abyss" was broken, the power to suppress Stuart and the power to strengthen Mr. A disappeared at the same time, so the former could temporarily restrain the latter's actions.

The punishers who were still awake also attacked Mr. A with the weapons in their hands at the same time, and the cooperation was quite tacit.

Even after Hazel realized it, she fully drew the "Short Fire Crow Bow" and shot out streaks of flaming elves.

Holy light, flames, ice, thunder, strong wind... Attacks with various effects hit the naked figure.

But those attacks were all in vain, and hit the wall opposite the hall, but Mr. A's figure spontaneously ignited without wind, and turned into an exquisite paper man.

——After Tan De was devoured, the paper figurines prepared in his pocket naturally belonged to Mr. A.

Amid the ravages of the fire crow, the paper figurine was quickly reduced to ashes.

The figure of Mr. A has already appeared in front of the wall on the other side of the hall along with the "Fire Crow".

At this time, the Saint of the Church of Steam, wearing a white priest's robe and a cleric's soft hat, also flew to the hole in the roof of the house under the impetus of the "propulsion device" structure that changed under his feet.

Without any hesitation, Mr. A directly took out the life-saving talisman obtained from "Master Puppet" Tan De, quickly recited the incantation, and disappeared in place.

As for the "Hypnotist" secret puppet, there was no time to collect it, so it could only be thrown on the spot.

The Saint of the Church of Steam who came to support after receiving the telegram was the head of the Backlund Diocese, a member of the Pre-God Council, Archbishop Horamick Haydn.

Seeing that Mr. A suddenly disappeared from the house, he immediately activated a device in his left eye to conduct a large-scale scan, and successfully saw the sudden appearance of the other party on a certain street one kilometer away.

He raised his finger, and a brilliant and beautiful light emanated from it, and directly hit Mr. A who turned his head in astonishment at an astonishing speed.

That is "Aurora", which comes from the "Generalist" pathway Sequence 5 "Astromancer", or one of the abilities of "Astronomer", but it was released in the hands of the saint-level archbishop Horamick. The power is more powerful.

Under the impact of "Aurora". Mr. A's body turned into an exquisite paper doll again, and then turned into dust, drifting away with the wind...and he himself stumbled and appeared on another street.

Even if there is a "paper man substitute" to share the damage, his body is still torn to pieces by the "Aurora", but the body of the "Shepherd" is extremely resilient, and it is almost intact in the blink of an eye.

Damn it! If he hadn't habitually switched to the "devil" state and "perceived" the source of danger in advance, he might not have even had time to use the "paper doll stand-in" just now!

This thought flashed through his mind, and Mr. A didn't dare to stay any longer. A transparent and blurry book quickly appeared in front of him, accompanied by a distant and ethereal chant:

"I come, I see, I record."

Flipping the book quickly, it froze on one page, and immediately burst into light blue and illusory light.

The light quickly enveloped him, making his figure blurry at first, and then invisible.

This is the "teleportation" ability recorded by Mr. A's "recording officer". Distortion", destroying his "teleportation", in that case, he really can't escape.

On the roof of a three-story house one kilometer away, Horamick wanted to add a few more "Aurora" after seeing that the blow didn't work, but he didn't expect that naked man to have the ability to "teleport", so he was caught off guard Next, he couldn't stop it.

As for the "Railgun" that was used to deal with Baron Kangwa, it was the exterior accessory of his latest version of the "airframe". Maintenance... The "old airframe" currently in use cannot match its external weapons.

Horamick sighed regretfully, the power of the propulsion device under his feet was slowly reduced, and he descended to the hall on the first floor along the hole in the roof.

All the substitutes, Bishop Utravsky, and Hazel saluted him one after another after seeing him, expressing their gratitude to the saint for his personal rescue.

"You're welcome, I came here to check after receiving a telegram from Harvest Church..." Horamick waved his hand, looked around and asked, "What happened here? The one who just escaped It should be the envoy of the Aurora Society... who was the ghost who saluted on the roof before?"

Only now did the Punishers know the reason why the Archbishop of the Church of Steam came in person, coupled with the previous "guardian" of Bishop Utravsky, they couldn't help but voted for this half-giant and the beautiful lady beside him Grateful gaze.

Bishop Utravsky nodded calmly, but Hazel was a little embarrassed by those eyes.

After briefly treating McConaughey, Stuart told the whole story in detail, and told Horamick the ghost's possible identity, and finally asked with some expectation: "Your Excellency , Mr. A was killed by you?"

Although none of the Punishers died due to the timely "guarding" of the half-giant bishop, many of them were seriously injured, especially those affected by the "frenzy" of the "hypnotist". Waking up in the "dream" of "Nightmare Candle"...

"Unfortunately, that person has the ability to 'teleport', and I didn't have time to stop it." Horamick shook his head first, then narrowed his eyes, and asked seriously: "Are you sure Aurora will arrange this time?" Was it the 'Abyss of Flesh' ritual? Was it cracked by a non-high-sequence 'ghost'... well, a 'hero' called the Grand Thief 'Dark Emperor'?"

Although this ritual magic is not used much, it is notorious, because every time it appears, it means the death of at least hundreds of people... It's useless, because once the ceremony is held, it cannot be forcibly ended. Even if it is destroyed, it will have even more terrible consequences.

It's unbelievable that no one died like this time.

Hearing the news of Mr. A's escape, Stuart was a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and replied respectfully: "I'm sure it's 'Abyss of Blood and Flesh'! Although I can't believe it, but that grand thief really It has done what many saints have failed to do."

"That's it..." Horamick pondered for a few seconds, then looked at Stuart and Utravsky, and said in a gentle tone, "Let's go to the place where the ceremony was arranged to check to see if it is real It was terminated...other active team members are searching this house...Well, if you find danger, you can leave it alone, and the support of the mechanical heart will arrive soon."

Speaking of which, he seemed to think of something, and added:

"There was also a Saint-level battle in the outskirts of the North District. His Excellency Anthony of the Church of Evernight went there to check the situation, but he was unable to come over for a while... His Excellency Snake was caught by the demigod of the 'Rose School of Thought', Also can't get away... Well, he just contacted me through special means and entrusted me to take care of you."

As the Archbishop of the "Church of Steam", he must have a "proper name" to direct the Punisher to do things, otherwise it is not suitable. And with the endorsement of "Singer of God", naturally there is no problem.

As for whether the "Singer of God" really entrusted himself? That's not important... Besides, Horamick's other old-model "aircraft" has also gone to support Snake, and it will be a temporary "refill" at that time.

"Follow your orders." Stuart and the others didn't think too much about it. Several people stepped into the stairwell and entered the basement.

In the basement at this moment, the body of "Witch" Irene had disappeared, and the statue of "True Creator" was broken into two pieces and fell to the ground, surrounded by a circle of holy grail number cards and scepter numbers. A circle composed of tarot cards and other cards.

The altar directly in front of the statue is also torn apart, and there are two main tarot cards in its center, one is "Emperor" and the other is "Tower".

It all looks like the scene of some weird ceremony!

Seeing such a scene, Stuart habitually performed a "backtracking", only to find that these cards were all cast after the "Abyss of Blood" ceremony...

This is not so much a ritual, it's more like a symbol or a habit... And I can't "retrace" anyone's figure. Items with extremely high grades blocked my abilities.

With that in mind, Stewart took the initiative to say based on the results of the previous investigation by the punisher:

"The scene full of tarot cards... This is the third time a similar case has occurred in the past two months.

"The last two times were all written by the grand thief 'Dark Emperor'."

"The second time is the Kapin case, right? I've heard of it... Then, when was the first time?" Archbishop Horamick asked in a deep voice.

Stuart simply replied:

"The time when the 'True Creator' tried to use a fraudster to descend.

"In that incident, not only was there a scene full of tarot cards, but also two other 'heroes' who were different from the grand thief 'Dark Emperor' appeared.

"Their code names are 'Joker' and 'Iron Man' respectively.

"So we speculate that these 'heroes' who always like to sprinkle tarot cards all over the scene of crimes should belong to the same organization...a newly emerged organization."

While Horamick was listening carefully, his mechanical eyes also quickly "analyzed" the traces of the scene, and after a long while he said thoughtfully: "Is it also related to the 'True Creator'? The people behind this organization Existence may be the enemy of the "True Creator"... That's why it always hinders and destroys the actions of the Aurora Society...

"We should dig deeper into the Kapin case. Behind him kidnapping girls and selling slaves, there may also be the shadow of the Aurora Society..."

Stuart nodded slightly, just about to say something, at this time, a member of the Punisher team who was not seriously injured came down from above with a stack of papers, and reported to Horamick and Stuart: " Your Excellency, Deacon, we found these rubbing orders in an office...the mark on it is 'Oracle'!"

"Oracle?" Horamick, Stewart, and even Utravsky all looked solemn, and they took a sheet and read it carefully.

"'The Fool'? The 'True Creator' is looking for followers and followers of the 'Fool'?

"'The Fool'... Could it be that he is also an evil **** on the same level as him? Otherwise, he would not attach so much importance to it..."

After pondering for a while~IndoMTL.com~ Horamick looked at Stuart beside him and asked, "What do you think?"

"'The Fool'... is also the main card of the Tarot! Today's incident may involve a battle between two evil gods!" Stuart said in a deep voice.

…

At the same time, in the northern suburbs of Backlund, Ince Zangwill and the military demigod Tester looked extremely embarrassed under Mr. Azik's attack, and the quill took the opportunity to escape again. To take control, wrote on a nearby rock:

"Today is really an unlucky day for Ince. The Archbishop of the Church of Evernight, St. Anthony, noticed the demigod's hand in the outskirts of the North District, and planned to come over to check it out himself... For this reason, he didn't even pay much attention to the request for help from the Harvest Church. It was only handed over to the Nighthawks team.

"It is conceivable that once Archbishop St. Anthony joins the battle, it will definitely not be Ince Zangwill who will help."
