Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 121 Backlund's Great Purge Night!
Although the bed was already cold when Klein was ready to take a nap, he managed to warm it up again by shivering.

As the bed grew warmer, he fell asleep unknowingly until he was awakened again by his stomach's protest.

"I sigh deeply and wipe away my tears, mourning the hardships of people's lives!"

Klein sighed, and after struggling between sleep and eating for more than ten minutes, he finally gave up, threw off the quilt, got up, and rushed to the bathroom next door.

After changing his clothes and washing up, he went downstairs, found the ingredients, and made a bowl of Fenepot noodles.

Holding the Feneport noodles mixed with seasoning sauce and meat sauce, Klein turned and walked towards the sofa area, intending to flip through the magazine he had not finished reading.

But when he came to the sofa, he found a piece of paper on the coffee table. The handwriting was elegant and restrained:
"Meet at the back door of the Brave Bar at 10 o'clock tonight."

It was obvious that Miss Sharon had come over when he was lying in bed, and she might have even peeked at him struggling in the quilt. Klein's eyes twitched, but he decided not to think about it. He flipped through the newspaper and ate noodles in silence.

However, before he had taken two bites, he heard the doorbell.

Putting down the magazine, Klein looked at Feynaporte, who hadn't said much yet. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly. He had a feeling that something was not good.

Klein stood up and walked towards the door. Before he even grasped the handle, he knew it was Dr. Allen outside.

"Good morning, Alan. The fog is gray today." He said with a smile.

Alan still had that cold expression, but with a hint of anxiety and fear.

He pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, and without even bothering to say hello, he said directly:
"Sherlock, I'm dreaming about Will Auceptin again!"

……

Green Cemetery, West End Suburbs.

Fors changed into a formal suit, which was rare for her, and came to the cemetery with a bouquet of expensive, simple and elegant flowers grown in a glass greenhouse.

The reason why she came here was because she had extremely complicated feelings.

On the one hand, it was because he knew that he could become a Beyonder because of the Beyonder characteristics left by Mrs. Anlisa when she died. On the other hand, it was also because of an accidental discovery this morning.

Standing in front of the black tombstone, Fors looked deeply at the photo of Mrs. Anlisa, bent down to put down the flowers, and said softly:
"Thank you."

She immediately stood up, closed her eyes, and quietly recalled the past. At this moment, she heard a slightly old voice:

"You are such a kind and well-meaning lady."

Fors turned his head and saw the man named Lawrence whom he met a few days ago.

……

"Speak."

On a street near Green Park in the West End, Klein sat in Dr. Allen's carriage, holding his protesting stomach and said helplessly, "Why did you come to me instead of Ash?"

"I went to look for it."

Alan said sincerely, "But he's not at home, and neither are Fors and her friends."

I feel like I'm just a spare tire.

Klein complained in his heart, but he didn't really show it.

Last night, Dr. Allen dreamed of Will Auceptin again, but this time the scene in the dream was Green Cemetery. That's why Dr. Allen was in a hurry to find him, wanting to know what was there.

However, this also indirectly proves that Will Auceptin has not given up on Dr. Allen.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the outskirts of Green Cemetery.

As soon as Dr. Allen got out of the car, he couldn't wait to pull Klein towards the nearby woods.

Just before that, Klein happened to catch a glimpse of a lady of outstanding appearance from the corner of his eye. She was helping an old man out of the Green Cemetery.

……

In the northern district of Backlund, in a room under Saint Samuel's Church.

In Backlund, almost all the captains of the Beyonder teams that still had spare strength were summoned, and also gathered here were a large number of elite night watchmen wearing red gloves.

Even if we don't know what's going on, we can guess that something big is going to happen.

Wearing a black hooded robe, blue eyeshadow and blush, Daly, who exuded a kind of enchanting and cold beauty, entered the house and sat down at random.

Arriving with her were Dunn and Leonard, who were wearing black windbreakers and red gloves.

Ember saw them, and they saw Ember and Al Hassan.

But neither side spoke, they just nodded to each other.

"I think this action is aimed at the Aurora Society."

Al Hassan on the side analyzed seriously.

"how do you know?"

Ember glanced at him and asked.

"Isn't this simple?"

Al Hassan pointed to the document on the table, which showed the intelligence of the Aurora Society.

Yu Jin shook his head and said, "But the document doesn't just contain information about the Aurora Society. It also contains information about the Rose School, the Blood Cult, and almost all the wanted secret organizations."

"But the Aurora Club is the point."

Al Hassan still insisted on his judgment and said without hesitation, "After all, they assassinated Ambassador Intis not long ago. Although I don't like that erotic maniac, I have to admit that the impact of this incident is quite bad. Even if the Kingdom of Loen is just doing superficial work, it must clean up the Aurora Society."

Yu Jin shook his head, thinking that this was possible, but not very likely.

After a while, the whole room fell silent.

A man with short golden brown hair walked into the room and looked around with his dark green eyes. It was Crestai Cecima, one of the nine senior deacons of the Church of Evernight.

Yu Jin had met him once in Tingen, because that was when he was sent to Tingen to deal with the two incidents of "leakage of acting method" and "Antigonus family notes".

Creste Sesima sat in the main seat, hid his chin and lips in his vertical collar, and spoke in a low voice:

"You must be very curious about why I was suddenly summoned. I can tell you the answer now -

This operation is led by the royal family and organized by the three major churches. The target is the major secret organizations in Backlund!"

Many people present were slightly moved. It would not be surprising for the church to take action against any secret organization alone. But the joint action of the three major churches and the royal family could only be described in one word:
Big purge!
Although many people had already guessed about the information about the major secret organizations recorded on the table, such a large-scale action still surprised them.

"So, what about wild Beyonders?"

A team leader raised his hand and asked.

"Wild Beyonders are not within the capture range."

Creste Sesima looked at him calmly and said slowly, "But the principle of tonight's operation is to rather catch the wrong person than let him go. If your informant among the wild Beyonders is unfortunately caught, you can file for bail afterwards."

"But before the operation officially begins, no one can leave the underground to prevent the news from leaking out!"

Krestel paused and added, "This is not just for us, the Nighthawks. The Mandated Punishers, the Mechanical Hound, and SI:9 are no exception."

Many people looked at each other, but no one raised any objections.

Many of them do have informants among wild Beyonders, and most of these informants usually provide them with a lot of valuable information. If there is a chance to save them, they will certainly try their best.

But in this situation, we can only wish these informants good luck.

"Joint action, what kind of joint action is this?"

Ember suddenly asked.

The sudden question made everyone turn their eyes to Yu Jin. Many deacons and captains who were unfamiliar with him were a little surprised because they seemed to have never seen Yu Jin before.

Backlund only had a few butlers and captains, and Ember was obviously not one of them. And if he was the Red Glove, he wasn't wearing any red gloves!
"Act separately."

Facing Ember's question, Krestey said seriously, "The Church of Night is responsible for the North District and Hillston District. At the same time, the Queen District is jointly responsible by us and MI9, and the West District is jointly responsible by us and the Church of Storms."

"The Storm Church is responsible for the Cherwood District and the Backlund Bridge District, while the Steam Church is responsible for the Dock District and St. George District. They will also work together with the Storm Church to take charge of the South Bridge District."

"The remaining East District will be jointly managed by the three major churches and MI9. We will each send a part of our team to the East District to carry out the mission. In addition, the Red Gloves will make mobile deployments with the elite Beyonders of the other two major churches, and can provide support to each district at any time depending on the situation."

The people around nodded silently, apparently not thinking there was anything wrong with this allocation.

Although the relationship between the three major churches in the Kingdom of Loen was relatively harmonious, once the issue of faith was touched upon, even the most harmonious relationship would instantly turn tense. Therefore, the three major churches would usually avoid touching upon each other's core. For example, the Night Watchmen would not want the Beyonders of other churches to come to the North District or to Saint Samuel Church to "carry out missions."

This is not only a blasphemy to their faith, but also a doubt on the ability of the Nighthawks. After all, the North District is the headquarters of the Nighthawks. If other churches need help when there is a problem with the headquarters, where will their face be?

If each church has a clearly defined area, it will certainly reduce some of the efficiency, but it will also make the division of responsibilities clearer while avoiding conflicts with other churches. For example, if one party makes a mistake afterwards, there will be no quarrel over the division of responsibilities.

Among the four forces, the leading royal family had the least responsibilities, and not many people felt that there was anything wrong. After all, the MI9 had always been the weakest, so it was reasonable to assign them fewer tasks.

Apart from the royal family, the one with the least burden is the Church of Evernight. Although it seems that the Church of Evernight is responsible for the most areas, both the North District where Saint Samuel Church is located and the Queen District where the royal family is located are the areas with the best public security in the entire Backlund, without a doubt!

The only thing they need to worry about is the Hillston District and the West District, which are ranked in the top five in terms of public security. In this way, the Church of the Night can mobilize more manpower than other churches. Of course, this may not be a good thing, because these "extra" manpower will mostly be sent to the East District to perform the most dangerous tasks.

In other words, in the end, the only ones who can really spare any effort are the royal family.

Yu Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he smelled the scent of conspiracy.

"What are you thinking?"

Seeing that Yu Jin looked frowned, Al Hassan asked in a low voice.

Yu Jin had no concerns and asked directly, "Captain, do you think this action is due to the royal family's ulterior motives?"

His voice was not disguised at all, and the room was full of Beyonders above Sequence 7, whose hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people, so they naturally heard the words clearly.

"..."

El Hassan immediately looked like he had seen a ghost, with a bitter face. Why did he have to ask this question? And Yu Jin, you are at least a hereditary noble of the Kingdom of Loen! How could you say such a thing that is not conducive to unity?
The other people also had different expressions, many of them looked a little strange and surprised. As night watchmen, they were undoubtedly believers of the Goddess of Night, but at the same time, they were still people of Loen.

Although it's not like you're "loyal to the king" or "dedicating yourself to the king", it's not appropriate for you to question the royal family's ulterior motives in public, right? After all, many of them have been working happily with MI9.

Just when everyone thought that Krestai would scold Yu Jin, the senior deacon showed a thoughtful expression and gave an unexpected answer:
"What you said does make sense. We can't rule out this possibility."

Some people seemed to have thought of something, their expressions changed slightly, and they lowered their heads to hide the changes in their eyes. However, more people, in addition to being surprised, felt a hint of something unusual.

When Yu Jin said this, at most his words were "not conducive to unity", and he could just say a few words to fool people. But as a senior deacon, what he said represented the attitude of the Church of Evernight in a sense!

Is there something wrong with the relationship between the Church of Night and the royal family, or is there really a problem with the royal family?
Yu Jin was a little surprised to see Krestai agree. After thinking for a moment, he added, "I suggest that we be more cautious in tonight's operations. After all, it's better to be safe than sorry."

Al Hassan had a look of disbelief on his face, as if a ghost had seen you.

Are you teaching Deacon Krestai what to do? You're killing me!

“That’s exactly what I was going to add.”

Krestai's expression froze, and then he looked around and said in a deep voice, "Tonight's operation must go all out to capture the Beyonders hiding in various places in Backlund. But tonight's operation is likely to involve a battle at the demigod level, so you must prioritize your own safety and the safety of your teammates!"

"clear."

Everyone was startled and nodded in agreement.

The mortality rate of the Nighthawks is already high, and those who have grown into Sequence 7 captains or even Sequence 6 deacons cannot be as naive as when they first joined the Nighthawks.

"Anything else you want to add?"

Krestey nodded in satisfaction, then looked at everyone and asked.

The others all turned their eyes to Yu Jin at the same time, after all, everyone knew that these words were actually addressed to him.

"I'm fine."

Yu Jin said helplessly.

"Okay, let's break up the meeting."

Krestey immediately said, "As long as you don't leave the underground, you can do whatever you want."

……

"Hey, what's this?"

In an interrogation room at the police station, Klein, who was waiting to give his statement, couldn't help but look up at the ceiling and sigh.

He and Dr. Allen had just dug up Will Auceptin's body in Green Cemetery, and in order to avoid getting into trouble, he naturally chose to call the police immediately. Although the police said they believed they did not kill the man, they still had to follow the procedure to take notes and record the confession.

Although this would be a bit troublesome, it was already a piece of cake for Klein, who often went in and out of the police station, not to mention that he had a lawyer. But what bothered Klein was not the police, but Will Auceptin.

"After all, I know that Will Auceptin is not really dead, he just 'restarted'. What we see is just an abandoned body. The real him should be in the belly of Dr. Allen's wife now."

"Well, maybe this is just a smokescreen he released, and he's actually hiding in someone else's stomach."

Although Klein felt that Will Auceptin would not do anything to him, and the divination results also showed that there was no danger, but in this case, he would definitely reappear in the sight of the Nighthawks.

Maybe someone will come into his dream next time, and it might be Dunn again. Although Klein could try to avoid this through divination, he subconsciously ignored this option.

But what concerned him more was another thing——

That was the lady I met at Green Cemetery.

"If I'm not mistaken, that should be Ms. Magician. Why would she go to the cemetery? And who is that old man? Is he her grandfather? It's possible, but not necessarily."

"Also, Sharon asked me to go to the Brave Bar tonight. Why do I feel like everything is piled up at once? Why can't we do it one by one? Besides, I don't know if tonight's action will be dangerous."

"Dr. Allen arrived just in time. I didn't even finish my noodles, and I didn't have time to go above the gray fog for divination."

Just as I was thinking about it, a police officer pushed open the door and walked in, smiling and saying, "Sorry, I was delayed by something and kept you waiting."

"No, it's okay."

Klein waved his hand and suddenly asked curiously, "Can I ask what delayed you? If you can't tell me, forget it. Just pretend I didn't ask."

The police officer shrugged and said casually, "It's nothing to hide. It's just a small matter. The police station suddenly decided to change the shift of the police patrolling tonight."

"Shift change? Tonight?!" Klein's expression changed slightly, and he immediately became alert.

He is going to work with Miss Sharon and the others tonight. Isn't this such a coincidence?

……

West End, Hotel Carpensa.

Fors helped Lawrence into his room and let him lie down on the bed.

Lawrence took a breath and with difficulty took out a palm-sized notebook from the inside pocket of his half-open clothes.

The notebook's cardboard cover was a verdigris color, giving it a very old feel.

There is a passage written on its surface in ancient Feysac language:

"I come, I see, I record."

Lawrence placed the notebook on the quilt in front of his chest, took a breath and said:

"Ms. Wall, if I die here, can you help me get it to Pritz Harbor?"

"Mr. Lawrence, you'll be fine."

Fors was silent for a moment and emphasized.

"I mean if."

Lawrence said with a strained smile, "Ms. Wall, will you help?"

Fors was silent for a long time, and suddenly whispered, "Mr. Lawrence, you shouldn't ask me for help. You can just find a postman to mail these things to you. I am a Beyonder."

"I know I know……"

Lawrence smiled, then took a breath in pain. After a long pause, he continued, "I know you inherited Anlisa's legacy, and I know you are a Beyonder. Yes, of course I know. The moment I saw your bracelet, I knew it all."

"You know a lot of information. It seems that Anlisa must have told you a lot about the family. Otherwise, you wouldn't refuse, right?"

"But it doesn't matter. The fact that you refused just proves that you are the most suitable candidate. Believe me, Ms. Wall, you won't regret it. Although the family has declined, its foundation is still there."

"Send it to Dorian Gray of the Prids Harbor Fishermen's Association, and he'll pay you well enough."

"Please don't say no."

Without waiting for Fors to speak, Lawrence smiled bitterly and said, "Can you just treat it as the best request of a dying old man? At least, let me die with my eyes closed."

"it is good."

Fors was silent for a long time, then whispered, "I'll deliver it."

"Thank you."

Lawrence smiled with relief, and suddenly said, "Ms. Wall, can you go to the first floor and get me a bottle of water?"

Fors nodded silently, turned around, picked up the kettle and left the room. When she came back again, Lawrence on the bed was already silent.

Next to him was a 'diamond' the size of an eye. The light from the window shone in, and refracted on the 'diamond', forming a beautiful scene like starlight.

Last night was a full moon night. As a member of the Abraham family, Mr. Lawrence was obviously cursed. With the blessing of the Fool and the help of the embers, he was not afraid of the threat of the curse.

But Mr. Lawrence couldn't do that. The curse that broke out last night might have pushed him to his limit.

He couldn't make it to the next full moon, or even the next full moon. During this period, he could lose control and turn into a monster at any time. So he chose to end his life while he was still conscious.

He wanted to die as a human being, not a monster. This was the last dignity of an extraordinary person, a holder of the bloodline of the Abraham family.

Fors silently picked up the diamond, put the notebook in her arms, and walked out of the room again.

She would go to Prids Harbor.

"The prerequisite is to discuss it with Ember first."

Fors thought silently.

……

In a room with thick soft carpet.

The feather pen was constantly writing on the notebook, and on the notebook spread out below it, there were lines of words and many traces of smudges:

"It's not surprising that Lawrence of the Abraham family has successfully survived another blood moon. As the blood of the Abraham family, there will always be some special magical items that can help him."

"Unfortunately, he is too old. Fighting the blood moon alone has pushed him to the limit. Lawrence has a feeling that he will not survive this week."

"Lawrence plans to go to the graves of Lauber and Anlisa tomorrow to lay a bouquet of flowers, and then return immediately to meet with other members of the family elders council to arrange funeral arrangements."

"But the condition of elderly people can change very quickly. They may seem fine one second, but may deteriorate at any time the next."

"Fors Wall suddenly thought of Mrs. Anlisa and how she had led her onto the path of becoming a Beyonder. She decided to go to Anlisa's grave and lay a flower in the early morning. After all, people are always emotional and their thoughts are always confused. No one knows what they will think of in the next second. This is reasonable."

smear
"Fors Wall and Lawrence from the Abraham family met in the cemetery. Lawrence saw Fors laying flowers for An Lisa and was touched that this lady still remembered An Lisa after so long. At least her character was very good, which was affirmed by Lawrence."

"Lawrence wanted to test further, but his body wouldn't allow him to prepare any further. His suddenly deteriorating body made him realize that he didn't have much time left, and he had already begun to realize this."

"Lawrence asked Fors to take him back to the hotel and explained his final wishes to Fors."

smear
"Fors wanted to refuse, so she decided to tell Lawrence that she was a Beyonder, hoping that Lawrence would give up because of his past painful experiences. But she didn't expect that Lawrence already knew her identity and would trust her more because of it."

"What bad intentions could a dying old man have? Faced with Lawrence's desperate request, Fors finally agreed to the request."

smear
"Lawrence is dead. He committed suicide. Although his body could have held out for a while longer, poor Lawrence misjudged this. His dim mind prevented him from accurately judging his physical condition. In order not to become a monster, he chose to end his life."

"Fors became more determined to go to Pritz Harbor, but she was still a little worried. She was worried that the Abraham family would reject her because of her past experiences, so she chose to seek help from Ash Black."

"Snapped!"

The pale hand holding the quill slowly removed it from the notebook, but kept it firmly in his hand, as if he was worried that the quill would do something against him.

Ince Zangwill leaned against the back of the bench, his face gloomy.

Ever since he had '0-08', Ince Zangwill had a feeling that he could control everything! It was as if the fate of life and death of all things in the world was under his control!

This feeling made him extremely inflated, and he even thought that he could be compared to gods.

However, obtaining this power requires a small price—

That is to be on guard against the counterattack of '0-08' at all times, because this feather pen is always thinking about killing its owner.

only.

The longer Ince Zangwill held the quill, the more powerless he felt. He could control many things, but there were also many things he could not control.

For example, when he was in Tingen, he was only a Sequence 5 gatekeeper and it was difficult for him to influence the demigods. And now, even though he has been promoted to a Sequence 4 demigod, he can only slightly control the highest Sequence 3 demigods.

Moreover, this kind of "control" was very unstable and could easily lead to accidents. Just like the last time he tried his best to save Lanevus, but it still ended with Lanevus' death.

As for the "Secret Servant" Arianna who appeared later, Ince Zangwill felt extremely powerless. He couldn't even have any influence on her!

The only thing he could do at that time was to pray that he would not be discovered by the other party.

But the other party was a Sequence 2 angel after all, and it was normal that he, a Sequence 4, could not affect her. Although Ince Zangwill felt a little humiliated, he could accept it.

But as long as the Sequence 2 angel is eliminated, he will still be the master who controls everything in Backlund! The fate of everyone is under his control, without exception.

But what Ince Zangwill could not accept the most was the Night Watcher named Ash Black. He was obviously just a Sequence 7 astrologer, and even a Sequence 8 magician a week ago, but he had a lot of magical items that even 0-08 could not see through. These magical items also made him escape from 0-08 again and again, out of his control.

It was like this in Tingen, and it was like this in Backlund! Losing control again and again filled Ince Zangwill's heart with gloom. He could not accept the continued existence of such unstable factors!
Just like when he was in Tingen, he had to kill Klein Moretti first. As a "god", he would not allow anyone to escape his control.

"Wow~"

Ince Zangwill used his free hand to lift up a corner of the notebook and flip it to the first two pages.

"Audrey Hall invited Ash Black to the Roselle Memorial Exhibition, and Ash Black of course chose to agree to her request, because no one could refuse Backlund's most dazzling gem."

"After finishing their trip to the Roselle Memorial Exhibition, they returned to the Hall family's villa. Of course, he chose not to leave, because he wanted to stay with Backlund's most dazzling gem for a while longer."

"He stayed to enjoy dinner and talked with Earl Hall about recent events. Several hours passed successfully. Finally, he chose to go home."

"Beria was in a very good mood today and chose to let his dog out to look for food earlier, instead of waiting until late at night as usual."

"As the ritual progressed, the demon dog's IQ became lower and lower. It even forgot its master's instructions to go to a farther place to eat, and instead chose to look for its target at the junction of Queens and Hillston. This is exactly the route Ash Black must take to get home."

"Oh. Poor Ash Black! He happened to run into the demon dog eating. He was just a Sequence 7 Astrologer. Of course, he couldn't resist the Sequence 6 demon dog. He didn't even have time to react!"

smear
"He didn't even have time to react before the demon dog was killed by the scarlet wild dog."

Seeing this, Ince Zangwill's expression darkened again.

He tried to kill Ash Black, and on the night Ash Black returned to Backlund, he "accidentally" encountered the Sequence 6 demon dog.

For Ince Zangwill, nothing is easier to control than a demon dog that has little reason and instinctively craves flesh and blood.

In order to avoid any accidents, he even directly transformed the demon dog into a demon.

Although this may ruin its ascension ceremony, how can the brainless demon dog care about this? It just wants to tear apart the human who sees it eating.

But he failed.

Again!
The dog that bit Lanevus to death reappeared. Just as it had bit Lanevus' throat, it once again bit the demon dog to death. It was a Sequence 6 demon dog! Damn it, where on earth did this wild dog come from?

Ghosts and curses, could this be the Rose School?

Ince Zangwill felt extremely frustrated and puzzled, but he did not dare to make any more attempts. For him, instead of continuing to target Ash Black and watching him destroy his plans again and again, it would be better to find a way to get him to leave Backlund!

Just like the past month or so, the days without Ash Black are the good days!

So, he chose to change his thinking.

"Ash Black did not pick up the remaining Beyonder characteristics because it would take some time for the Beyonder characteristics to emerge. In order to avoid being discovered by the patrolling Beyonders, he left the scene without even cleaning up the spirits at the scene."

smear
smear
smear
"Neither the Church of the Storm nor MI9 arrived at the scene in time. They were a step too slow. The Nightwatchmen were the first to discover the body and preserved it."

"But that didn't stop the MI9 from conducting a joint investigation and channeling the demon dog's spirit."

smear
smear
"The soul of the demon dog suddenly disappeared for some reason, and they can only communicate with the remaining spirits at the scene."

smear
"The spirits didn't see Ash Black, they only saw the scarlet wild dog."

Continuing to look down along the notes, there is a deep dot in the middle, where the tip of the pen stayed for a long time, as if the owner of the quill pen was in a daze for a while.

It was as if he had made a certain decision: since he couldn't resist, he would just start fighting.

Continue to look down:

"Hibbert Hall saw his sister Audrey become a Beyonder. Although he was still worried about losing control after becoming a Beyonder, he couldn't help but start to envy his sister."

"To this end, he carefully tried to reveal the secret that he wanted to become a Beyonder. Audrey Hall of course chose to help her brother. At the same time, she also thought of her good friend Viscount Glint, and invited Ash Black's help."

"In order to capture Backlund's most dazzling gem, Ash Black of course chose to agree. This work will undoubtedly take him a long time, because Greylint decided to train a Beyonder guard for himself and constantly seek Beyonder materials for this purpose."

"In order to ensure that her brother Hibbert Hall would not lose control, Audrey began to frequently seek help from Ash Black. After Hibbert collected the extraordinary materials, she personally prepared the potion for him and only let Hibbert take the potion in the presence of Ash Black."

smear
"Hibbert successfully became a Beyonder on the Path of the Diviner, but his servant was not so lucky. He unfortunately lost control after taking the Apothecary potion."

"In order to deal with the out-of-control pharmacist and prevent the official investigation from reaching the Hall family, Ash Black used his connections in the Church of Evernight to cover up the incident."

"..."

"Finally, the time has come for the full moon night. Fors was lucky enough not to be affected, but Lawrence of the Abraham family was not so lucky."

Seeing this, Ince Zangwill's mood improved.

He had successfully wasted a few days of Ash Black's time. All he needed to do next was use Lawrence and Fors, two useful tools, to get him to leave Backlund completely. Unfortunately, coincidences were not so easy to create, and he didn't get the chance until yesterday's full moon.

The corners of Ince Zangwill's mouth slightly raised, as if he had seen the ending he wanted.

However, when he touched the words at the bottom of the paper, his expression darkened again.

Because the sloppy handwriting ended here, the handwriting below appeared unusually neat, as if it was printed on a typewriter.

"Oh, poor Ince Zangwill, he thinks he is a god, that he can control everything. Ahaha, how funny, does he think all this is just because of his arrogance?"

"Oh, okay, okay, I admit that this is indeed due to his arrogance. But how could he have imagined that he, who wanted to control everything, was actually being controlled by others?"

"He will see this sentence, but he will definitely not believe it. After all, he won't trust a pen, right?"

"Oh, poor Ince Zangwill, he wouldn't even trust a harmless quill!"

Ince Zangwill looked at the contents on that page, his eyes turned cold.

Of course, he knew that all this was a conspiracy of '0-08', and he also knew that it would not write meaningless words on paper. And the fact was indeed so, whether he believed it or not, he had been affected by this passage.

He knew the nature of the Sealed Objects, which were no different from those magical items. These things were simply made of the Beyonder's remaining Beyonder characteristics, and their abilities were also related to the Beyonder's own abilities.

And '0-08' is most likely an angel from a certain source. However, that angel must have passed away, otherwise his extraordinary characteristics would not have been made into this seal.

So he is the only one who has this ability now!
Only he can dominate the fate of others, and no one can dominate him!
Just then, a breeze picked up the thick notebook on the table, blowing open its pages and exposing more words and scribblings to the air.

Finally, the page freezes on one of the pages.

"Poor Ince Zangwill, he didn't realize that he was becoming more and more arrogant. He thought it was because of his promotion to demigod, but is it really that simple?"

"It's so sad. He used to be so cautious, but now he is so arrogant that he ignores some obvious things."

"Oh, poor Ince Zangwill, when will he realize that he is just a useful tool in the hands of others?"

"boom!"

Ince Zangwill suddenly swept everything on the table, including the notebook, to the ground. He tightly grasped the '0-08' in his hand with an extremely ferocious expression.

(End of this chapter)
