Mystery: Higher-Dimensional Overlookers

Chapter 492 Mutation
Darkness enveloped almost the entire sky of Backlund. Unlike the dark nights that almost everyone had experienced, what appeared in the sky at this moment was pure darkness, mixed with a little chill that made people's backs shiver.

This icy cold air covered the sky of Backlund like a physical death. This situation immediately panicked most people in Backlund, including Mr. "Moon" who was doing ideological work for the few vampire families.

Emlyn White looked at the darkness that suddenly appeared in the sky and continued to spread outwards. The pure darkness seemed to have substance and descended from the sky, absorbing all the light within the reach of the naked eye. His heart skipped a beat before he suppressed the fear that had just risen in his heart.

The savior of the blood clan glanced at the heads of the blood clan families he had gathered with a bad look on his face. He felt a little embarrassed for being frightened just now, so he said arrogantly in order to cover up:

"I told you to move out before, but you didn't want to move out. What should we do now? Huh?"

He wanted to scold these sequence 7 vampires again, but when he saw their slightly trembling bodies and fearful eyes, Emlyn's heart softened immediately. He sighed deeply:

"I remember that you also registered as Beyonders with the Backlund government, right? Your strength is equivalent to that of a Sequence 7 Beyonder in the secular world. Will you seek asylum from the government, or will you come with me?"

At this moment, there were several knocks on the door. Emlyn looked over there with some doubt, and a vampire beside him said quickly:
"Lord Emlyn, he might be a member of the Church of Fools, a member in charge of Beyonder affairs who is working with the Backlund government..."

At this point, he lowered his head quickly, fearing that the adults around him would be dissatisfied with this. According to the rumors of the blood clan, this blood clan member who was originally considered a junior was promoted all the way in a very short period of time and eventually became a noble demigod.

He is even favored by Red Moon and calls himself the savior of the vampires.

Of course, along with that came his not-so-good reputation. In contrast to the favor he received, Emlyn White seemed to be more old-fashioned than those old vampires. He was obsessed with restoring the glory of the vampire clan and had a quirk of collecting dolls.

Although many vampires have the habit of collecting, vampires who collect dolls nowadays and those who collected corpses in ancient times are not very popular in the vampire social circle - not to mention that Emlyn's collection are all female dolls?

That was why he was afraid that Emlyn, as a demigod, would come into conflict and clash with the people of the Church of Fools.

However, when the vampire raised his head and mustered up the courage to dissuade him, he found that Emlyn in front of him had already pinned the holy emblem of the Church of Fools on his chest, took two quick steps forward, and opened the door.

After opening the door, a tall man wearing a black suit, a top hat, a military uniform, and a golden mask on his face was stunned when he saw that the person who appeared in front of him was a strange Beyonder.

Then, after they saw the holy emblem of the Church of Fools that Emlyn was wearing, their expressions softened once again, and they did not speak harshly to the Beyonder of unknown identity in front of them.
"May I ask you are?"

Lord Emlyn is not trying to deceive the members of the Church of Fools with a forged holy emblem? They all have corresponding identity detection devices... The vampire was stunned for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth.

Then, he saw Emlyn in front of him speaking calmly to the members of the Church of Fools and the military:

"I am the Archbishop of the Church of Fool in Tingen City. I have received orders from Mr. Fool to cooperate with the Church of Backlund to evacuate the vampires. This is my mission instruction and proof of identity."

After briefly checking the ID Emlyn handed over to them and confirming that this seemingly young vampire was a member of the Church of Fools, the two men spoke to him with some respect:
"We are now executing an order jointly issued by the government and the Church of Fools, requiring us to gather all Beyonders under unified control."

Could this also be an order from Mr. Fool? If I remember correctly, the current Pope of Backlund should be Mr. Hanged Man... Emlyn thought for a moment and nodded at them:

"Ok, I see."

Mr. Fool probably asked me to evacuate the vampires for this reason... Emlyn hesitated for a moment before saying to the two people in front of him:
"In that case, I won't disturb you two from your mission. I'll leave the people behind me in your care."

"Thank you for your understanding."

Emlyn looked at the vampires behind him leaving with the members of the Church of Fools and the military, and couldn't help but laugh:
"I told you guys to pack up and leave Backlund quickly. Now you can't leave, right?"

“Now it is up to me, the savior of the vampire race, to assist Mr. Fool in maintaining order…”

As Emlyn thought about this, he chanted the honorific name of Mr. World, but received no response. In his confusion, he heard the voice of Mr. White Tower ringing in his ears:

"'The Fool' and 'The World' are resolving the disaster looming over Backlund."

"come here."

Emlyn subconsciously followed the guidance of his spirit and looked towards the center of Backlund, where a group of guards in black military uniforms and long leather boots escorted groups of people into the government district.

He hesitated for just a moment before turning into a shadow and quickly moving towards the center.

On the way to leave the place where he had preached to the vampires, Emlyn White saw that under the guidance of the officers and soldiers, food was delivered to each door. On the street, pieces of silver-white metal quickly emerged and stretched upwards, like a huge pillar reaching straight into the sky.

Emlyn vaguely felt that there was something new in the sky, and even the darkness that kept surging above the sky became blurry.

"Backlund has changed so much..."

……

"Everyone, be prepared at all times. If you spot any suspicious Extraordinary Person, you are allowed to kill them on the spot." Xio said seriously to the man in front of him, who was wearing a neat military uniform and a golden mask. There was a hint of solemnity in the air, making the darkness even colder.

After a simple division of labor, these people divided into teams one after another and started a carpet search along the streets and alleys. Looking at the darkness in the sky, Xio couldn't help but worry about his friends.

……

"Without Mr. White Tower, Mr. World, and Mr. Fool here, I'm afraid you and I will have to shoulder the responsibility for Backlund as a whole." Pope Alger, the Hanged Man, said to Gawker, who was dressed as Adolf in front of him. Gawker tapped the desk in front of him with his fingers:
"What is the current status of the Church of Night?"

There are many Night Watchmen in the Church of Night who are of the "Dark" Path, including Mr. "Star" Leonard, a member of the Tarot Club.

Alger shook his head slowly. "The situation of the Church of Night is very bad right now. I have arranged for half of the people in the Church of Fool to look after the Beyonders in the Path of Night. Well, I have arranged for people to take them to the lower level of Backlund to prevent them from losing control because of looking directly at the darkness of the sky."

Gao Wei pretended to be relieved. "It's a very reasonable choice. It's indeed a wise judgment. Once the Night Watchmen of the Church of Evernight get out of control in large numbers, the people of Backlund will be shaken in their support for the Goddess of Evernight. At that time, the situation will only get worse, forming a vicious circle."

Indeed... Knowing the source of the disaster, Alger thought for a moment: "Mr. White Tower, do you think this is a good time?"

“When we were completing the tasks assigned by Mr. Fool before, there were always people who tried to obstruct us in every way possible. Although the impact was not significant, it still had a certain impact on us. We simply could not continue to promote education in a short period of time.”

"Backlund is in pretty good shape, but the other places are not so good."

"Why, do you think I can convey information to other places in this dark blockade? Not only are telegraphs and telephones out of service, but the extraordinary abilities here are also 'dying'." Gao Wei said to Alger with a half-smile. Alger was silent for a moment, then the corners of his mouth slowly curled up:
“Whether you can do it or not, I believe in you. I also believe in the God of Light behind you. And…” Alger looked at the sky. The ink-like black color was still seeping outwards, as if it was going to penetrate directly into the distance and swallow up the entire world.

Until this time, he opened his mouth and said:
"I believe that the disaster that started in Backlund will continue to extend to the outside world, although we don't know what kind of disaster this darkness is yet."

"Although it has only caused panic now, there are always some things that need to be prepared for. We can control the development of Backlund, but it is difficult for us to fully control those remote areas, those villages and towns where there are only Sequence 7 Beyonders stationed."

After listening to Alger's words quietly, Gao Wei spoke calmly, "I have issued an order: all members working in the government and registered businessmen must use education to appease the local people, and in three days, a special commissioner from Backlund will go there."

Alger was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Gao Wei meant. Gao Wei continued:

"Because Backlund is the source of the disaster, all of Backlund's Beyonders are maintaining order in Backlund, investigating the source of the disaster, and responding to it. Therefore, these special commissioners are all 'ordinary people' without Beyonder powers."

"The rest depends on the attitudes of the businessmen and local officials."

With that said, Alger understood what Gao Wei meant: "Are you going to use those special commissioners as bait to find out those who are against 'Adolf'?"

"After all, due to the influence of the out-of-control divine power, conventional communication tools cannot be used now. If the special commissioner dies, no one will be able to find out who did it." Alger analyzed:
"But in this case, we must send a group of Beyonders to hide beside the special commissioner, and we must be careful not to be discovered. After all, those who have the ability to restore the old era basically have some mid-sequence Beyonders in their hands."

"And according to the legislation of the Republic, personal property is sacred and inviolable. The government cannot directly call on those nobles who once held noble titles but are no longer working in the government. The effect of this will probably not be very good. After all, most of them rely on skirting the law to exploit the lower classes, which is considered to be a loophole in the law."

"You mean the law can't regulate them?" Gao Wei chuckled. "Mr. 'The Hanged Man', your thinking has become a little rigid since you became the Pope."

"Hmm?" Alger looked at Gao Wei, not understanding what Gao Wei was going to do with these specialists.

"Procedural justice is of course necessary, but I'm not a good person like Mr. World." Gao Wei shook his head: "Most of the people you just mentioned are nobles and farmers who skirt the law and hinder the promotion of the Equal Education Act."

"It's just like what you said. They rely on their local power to make it difficult for those low-sequence Beyonders of the Church to move forward... With moderate reforms, this situation can be ended, but moderate reforms take time, and what we lack most now is time. But, have you ever thought about this?"

Gao Wei smiled. "First, the behavior of those special commissioners in delivering documents in the past naturally aroused the greed of some people. This is also an opportunity I gave them. After all, although I don't care about procedural justice, I am still very kind and have a moral bottom line."

Alger opened his eyes wide, as if he felt that Gao Wei's second sentence was indeed a bit ridiculous.

"Second, no matter how just the procedure is, if the result is not just, then everything is in vain. These people skirted the law and caused so many families to be broken up. I think I should give them a little revenge."

"Third, those special commissioners will all be composed of my incarnations."

Gao Wei looked at Alger, with a smile on his face: "I really hope someone can come and assassinate 'a true god's favored one', to assassinate a..."

"'Angel King'."

Gao Wei was actually being conservative. Apart from the power needed to guard the barrier, take care of Amon and Antigonus, the two naughty kids of Bethel, and heal Klein, the power of his current incarnation was almost equivalent to that of a complete true god.

To be honest, he was looking forward to it.

I wonder if there is anyone who dares to assassinate a true God just because they don't want ordinary people to go to school when darkness is everywhere.
