Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 421 Abandoning a Pawn to Fight for the First Place (Updated First and Revised Later)
(already edited)

While Cecilia was absorbing the extraordinary properties of the Death Announcer in the underworld, the Shadow Admiral was running in the heavy rain in Indo Port.

With the help of that magical item, all the injuries on his body have been repaired, but his head looks a little deformed after the repair, and is obviously more concave than before.

The "Immortal King" actually met a stronger person who was at a higher level than him. This was something Limanu King had not expected.

As far as he knew, the strongest help he could get in this area was the "Immortal King" and the "Death Announcement", who had just been promoted to demigod not long ago.

But now, Agaritu and his boat were pulled into the black pool by the hidden mysterious strong man. Seeing that the Undead King had no resistance, it was obvious that the opponent was of a very high level. The question now was how long the Undead King could hold out in his hands.

However, Limanu King did not give up hope. In other words, when he met the "atheist" gentleman and decided to join the Moss Ascetic Order and become the tenth pillar "materialism", he had already given up most of his human emotions and became a machine that served the hidden sage wholeheartedly.

If it weren't for the magical item he once possessed that contained the whispers of the "True Creator" and occasionally affected his mind, thereby accidentally diluting the influence of the "Hidden Sage", he would probably have become an avid pursuer of mystical knowledge.

The current situation is indeed very dangerous for him, but at least he believes that there is still a glimmer of hope that can allow him to complete what he should do.

Following the route he remembered, "Shadow Lieutenant General" soon arrived in front of Salvatore's apartment building.

Since the murder, this place has been temporarily blocked by Vinata.

However, due to the recent shortage of manpower, the only remaining guards at the crime scene are a few symbolic ordinary patrolmen, and most of them rushed to other places to evacuate the people when the war broke out. So when Limanu King arrived, there were only a few crooked roadblocks and crooked cordons.

After crossing the cordon, the Shadow General quickly came into the room and began to search around.

It seems that this place has undergone a relatively strict investigation - of course, it is only a relatively strict investigation for ordinary people.

After all, the company was short of manpower, and the number of Beyonders could barely maintain the level required to suppress the Seals. Many of them were created on the spot by Vinata using the low-sequence characteristics in stock. They only had Beyonder abilities but had not received systematic training in the occult. They were high-end talents who could do divination and occult tracking, and their daily schedules were quite tight, so they had no time to deal with these trivial matters.

What's more, others may not know the real culprit behind this incident, but Vinata herself knows it very well. If Astrologer Sonya or any other Beyonder finds out that Sophie did it, the political image she has worked so hard to build in Indo Port will most likely be ruined. You know, most people here don't have any good feelings towards the Devil's Path.

And she didn't need to intervene too obviously. She just needed to slightly adjust the priority of the investigation. Once the effective time of divination had passed, even if she let Sonya investigate, she probably wouldn't find anything.

Therefore, when the Shadows arrived here, only the ordinary police officers at the lower level conducted a search here, and took away the weapons and ammunition hidden by Salvatore here as well as some suspicious-looking occult items. Most of the other items remained as they were and were not moved back to the police station's warehouse without any effort.

In fact, strictly speaking, this level of investigation is already a good way to deal with it for ordinary people who have been exposed to a certain degree of mystery. However, for extraordinary people like Salvatore and Limanu King who are "secret praying people", ordinary means cannot be used to deal with it.

The shadow lieutenant found the place where Salvatore fell, and lay on the ground in the same posture as him, turning his body into a mass of flesh and blood filled with filth, which seeped into the ground through the cracks in the floor.

A thick shadow emerged on the floor and merged with the flesh and blood in the shadow, causing the flesh and blood to begin to bubble up like boiling porridge, undergoing some changes in shape.

This evil and disgusting process lasted for nearly twenty minutes. Finally, the mass of flesh and blood condensed again to form the body of the Shadow Lieutenant General, but this time, he had an extra thing in his hand.

It was a statue about the length of a human forearm - no, this thing was far from being a real statue. It could not be said to be a work of art at all. Instead, it was a huge black mass with eyes. Countless things between silk threads and tentacles were entangled with each other, forming such a strange existence.

"Finally found it..." The Shadow Admiral breathed a sigh of relief. This statue was an important item protected by the "Hidden Sage". If he wanted to complete his mission, this statue was an indispensable item. The original plan was for Salvatore, who was abandoned, to perform a ceremony in Indo Port to complete the mission, but due to his accidental death, the Shadow Admiral could only sneak in by himself.

When the general in the shadows just arrived at the scene and found Salvatore's body, relying on the unique perception of flesh and blood of those who have been influenced by the real Creator, he keenly realized that Salvatore's body was missing a large number of flesh and blood organs, and the familiar smell of corruption was hidden in the room, mixed with knowledge that made people's heads ache.

He concluded then that the thing he was looking for had been wrapped up by Salvatore with shadow magic and hidden under the floor.

However, due to Sophie's sudden appearance in the room and Venata's interference, he was unable to take the statue away immediately. He could only risk sneaking in during the war to try to find the statue.

He sneaked into the company's headquarters not to find Sophie, but to confirm whether the statue had been brought to the company by subsequent search teams, but he was intercepted again by Cecilia and Anne on the way.

"Salvatore is such a complete idiot. He doesn't even have the ability to be a pawn..."

Even though he had the statue, Limanu King couldn't help but complain to himself.

Mr. Atheist's plan did not include any arrangements for Salvatore to evacuate. His only purpose was to complete the connection ceremony containing mysterious knowledge in the chaos at the highest point of Indo Port according to the plan.
