Secret: The Witch's House Traitor

"The best brother;"

“The best brother;”

“The best colleague.”

Lin Nuo left Tingen City. He deliberately distanced himself from Klein, but he also missed his funeral.

Chapter 77 The Demigod I Found for Free

Klein's death also has something to do with Lin Nuo.

On the night when the entire city of Tingen was nearly destroyed, even though the Saint-level Sealed Object, the Sword of the Goddess, did not cooperate, the spiritual incarnation still dragged Creste Sesima into a deep dream.

Even if only a tiny bit of the breath of the Eternal Dark River escaped, it was enough to kill Creste Sesima. Lin Nuo also personally eliminated the strongest combat force of Tingen's Night Warriors.

Such a big accident happened in Tingen City, and a senior deacon of the Church of Evernight is in a coma. The Church of Evernight needs to send a representative to lead the aftermath, right?

Dunn Smith, captain of the Tingen Night Squad, was contaminated by the True Creator in Heinarsen Vincent's dream and fell into a coma.

Leonard Mitchell, Luo Yao Leiding and Frye are experienced and are responsible for going to the factory area to pick up the unconscious Krestel Cecima.

If Klein Moretti is excluded, only Cornelia White will be left in the Nighthawks team to guard the Blackthorn Security Company, while Siga Theon, Old Neil, and an elderly internal guard will be in charge of Chanis Gate.

Because Old Neil was contaminated by the Hidden Sage, he can never leave Chanis Gate for the rest of his life and cannot be considered a fighting force at all.

There was a brief empty frame period at the Chanis Gate guarded by the Nighthawks in Tingen City.

Can Ince Zangwill continue to wait for his chance?

He had been forced by Lin Nuo to the point where he had no room to retreat. When the Red Glove giant Crestai Cecima was defeated and fell unconscious in Tingen City, the top leaders of the Church of Evernight would inevitably focus their attention here.

The reality only left Ince Zangwill with two choices.

First, give up the attempt to seize the sealed object Saint Selina's ashes inside the Nightlord Chanis Gate in Tingen, and look for new opportunities.

Second, choose to force your way through the Gate of Chanis.

Because Ince Zangwill failed to be promoted to a demigod and his time was running out, he only had one choice: to go all the way to the end. There was no such thing as looking for another good opportunity.

And judging from the data on paper, Ince Zangwill has a high chance of success even if he breaks into the Chanis Gate.

Ince Zangwill was a ruthless man who dared to betray the Church of Evernight, take away the Sealed Artifact 0-08 and flee. Although he had many shortcomings, he definitely had the courage to give it a try.

Of course, Ince Zangwill has the Sealed Artifact 0-08 in his hand, so he will naturally make things develop in a direction that is beneficial to him.

Leonard and his two companions who went to the factory area had some disputes with the members of the Punisher Team. After all, this was the territory under the jurisdiction of the Church of Storms, but the high-ranking deacon of the Church of Night fell into a coma here.

Whether it was the subsequent investigation cooperation or the exploration and protection of the scene, Leonard and others were inevitably slightly distracted by the battlefield in the factory area.

On his way back to Blackthorn Security Company with Dunn Smith on his back, Klein Moretti encountered the mad Hood Eugen.

Although the projection of the real Creator suffered a shameless plot by Lin Nuo, it was not the first time that He was stabbed in the back. He was really good at the whole process of escaping and stopping losses in time.

Even though he was just a projection abandoned by the evil god, he still showed great combat wisdom. After cunningly selling a flaw to the evil god's offspring, he transformed into a shadow and swept away Hood Eugen, who no one cared about.

Hood Eugen once used his life as a sacrifice to pray to the real creator. After suffering several severe blows, the projection of the real creator had no choice but to temporarily live in the body of this psychiatrist.

But the projection of the evil god also has its limits. After barely dragging Hood Eugen away, the projection of the real creator immediately fell into complete madness.

He followed his instinct and, under the arrangement of Seal 0-08, targeted Dunn Smith, who was also contaminated by the True Creator.

This stems from His instinct to replace a brand new container!

Hood Eugen ran quickly on all fours like a wild beast. Its body was covered with gray-white scales and it had two gray, leathery wings on its back. It let out a sharp roar and rushed towards Klein.

Klein felt a little confused just by seeing it, and after hearing Hood Eugen's roar like a dragon, he suffered severe mental damage.

If it was an ordinary extraordinary person, after being subjected to this dragon roar that contained "shock", "madness" and "filth", he would probably go into madness and lose control on the spot.

But Klein is a special case. He once looked directly at the Eternal Blazing Sun through dream divination above the gray fog. His mental resistance is far superior to that of ordinary Beyonders.

Even though Klein was attacked, he did not give up resistance. His tears mixed with blood dripped down his cheeks, and he uttered a word in ancient Hermetic language in a low voice:

"Light!"

Light that illuminates the darkness! Light that brings warmth!

He infused his spirituality into the thin gold sheet engraved with mysterious patterns, and while suppressing the dizziness in his head, he threw the talisman in his hand with force.

The dazzling sunlight cut through the darkness, and the Yangyan Talisman burst out with the power of a demigod. In the blazing white light, Hood Eugen's charred body, which had lost its upper body, fell down powerlessly.

Before Klein let down his guard, a picture appeared in his mind. An unclear black shadow jumped out of Hood Eugen's body and swallowed him and Dunn.

This was the clown's intuitive premonition. Klein didn't care about the pain and threw out another Yangyan Talisman.

"Light!"

There was another blazing white light, and a certain half-illusory and half-real terrifying thing no longer had any basis in reality. Finally, it unwillingly and angrily turned into black gas and melted in the light and flames.

Klein finally had time to rest. He leaned against the wall with Dunn on his back, breathing heavily. He looked up at the blood-red full moon in the sky and felt that tonight was a bit unlucky.

"I can't rest for too long. The captain needs treatment as soon as possible."

It was recorded in the scriptures of the Church of Night that the blood moon was an evil god coveting the power of the goddess, so his thoughts at this moment were not considered blasphemy against the goddess. He stretched out his hand and drew a crimson moon on his chest, then propped up his tired body and carried Dunn on his back to continue rushing towards the direction of the Blackthorn Security Company.

After Klein carried Dunn back to the Blackthorn Security Company, he smelled a faint smell of blood when he entered the door, which gave Klein a very bad premonition.

At this moment, he remembered what Lin Nuo had said to him, that it would be better to be a little selfish and not rush forward blindly when encountering things, so that you can live longer.

Klein stopped hesitantly. He looked back at the unconscious Dunn Smith on his back in confusion and said in a trembling voice:

"Captain, what should I do now?"

Klein looked at the unconscious Dunn and wondered what choice he would make if the captain was facing this situation now?

He thought of Dunn, whom he usually interacted with, a captain who was very forgetful, always silently caring about his teammates, and very reliable during missions.

He is the most trustworthy companion and the eternal captain, and he will never abandon any of his companions.

Klein recalled Dunn's past teachings and actions. His originally confused expression became resolute, and the corners of his tightly pursed lips curled up slightly.

Klein Moretti made his choice at this moment.

Chapter 78 Encounter on a narrow road

Klein turned around and walked out without making any noise. He first found a safe place to hide Dunn, and then walked back to the Blackthorn Security Company carefully.

Because of the special circumstances that happened tonight, Leonard and the others sent the clerical girl Roshan home early to rest. Klein did not see Roshan dozing off on the sofa at the entrance.

Klein sniffed the blood in the air and carefully passed through the partition and entered a short corridor. In an open office on the left, Klein found the body of Cornelia White.

He lay on his back weakly on the table, his eyes wide open, a look of fear and anger still lingering on his face, and there were deep marks of ligatures on his neck, as well as several bloody holes dug by fingernails.

Klein looked at his dead companion with sorrow. With his current experience, he could roughly tell that Cornley White was strangled to death from behind by some invisible being.

boom!

When the undead wandering around the room tried to strangle Klein from behind in the same way, Klein simply turned around and raised the muzzle of the revolver in his hand.

A demon-hunting bullet engraved with the sun rune hit the undead that tried to attack from behind. The white undead let out a sharp scream and disappeared.

After seeing clearly the death of his companion, Klein activated his spiritual vision. He carefully and earnestly observed every corner of the room to make sure that there were no other undead hiding or lurking.

Klein had no time to grieve over the sacrifice of his companions. He now had to figure out who the enemy was and why Cornelia White appeared in the captain's office.

"The cause of death of Cornley White!"

"The cause of death of Cornley White!"

...

Because it had not been long since Cornelia White died, Klein slightly closed his eyes, silently repeated this phrase seven times, and used his ability of dream divination to begin to uncover the cause of Cornelia White's death.

In the dream, Cornelia White was sitting at Dunn's desk deciphering a telegram. When he finished deciphering and wanted to go out to inform the rest of the Night Watchmen, the office was pushed open.

Klein followed Cornelia White's perspective and saw a middle-aged man with short dark blond hair.

He was wearing a black double-breasted frock coat. He was obviously blind in one eye. His eyes were a deep blue, almost black. His facial features were as if carved, without the slightest wrinkle.

"Slavery!"

Cornley White froze in his tracks, and the pistol he had raised fell uncontrollably to the ground. An undead grabbed Cornley's neck from behind and strangled him to death. Cornley was powerless to resist, and the only thing he could do was to fall backwards and use his body to block the translated telegram on the table.

"Psychic!"

Ince Zangwill paid no attention to Cornley White’s little trick. He did not take this pure newcomer of Sequence 9 seriously. After obtaining the information he wanted through spiritual communication, he continued to walk towards the Chanis Gate underground.

The dream was quickly shattered. Cornelia White's spirit had already been communicated with once beforehand, and Klein's dream divination only lasted for a very short time.

"Brother, you are a true hero!"

Klein suppressed his grief, picked up Cornley White's body, and took out the hidden telegram from behind his back.

From a spiritual perspective, Cohen's spirit is dark and illusory, which should be a symbol of being channeled.

Cornelia White was just a newcomer at Sequence 9. He had even just become a Beyonder not long ago. Because he admired the Nighthawks, he applied to officially join the Nighthawks team from a civilian member.

Ince Zangwill looked down on Cornelia White, but the civilian employee also fought his own battles in his own way.

Klein picked up the deciphered telegram. It was sent from the Holy Temple. The message was simple: Be careful of Ince Zangwill and Sealed Artifact 0-08.

As a fortune teller, Klein quickly recalled this man because he had seen his photo and related description on the wanted poster!

The murderer was Ince Zangwill! The former Archbishop of the Church of the Evernight Goddess who defected with the Sealed Artifact "0-08" and the "Gatekeeper" who failed to be promoted!

Sequence 5 of the Death Path, Gatekeeper!

Klein's pupils suddenly shrank. He remembered that the direction the other party was heading was the most important Chanis Gate to the Tingen Nighthawks, which contained many dangerous seals.

"I didn't see Leonard and the others just now, so they are either fighting inside the Chanis Gate or being led away by Ince Zangwill. I must go down and help them!"

Klein reached out and stroked Cornelia White's cheek, closing his eyes. In one hand he held a revolver loaded with demon-hunting bullets, and in the other hand he tightly grasped the last Sunfire Talisman.

Sequence 5 'Gatekeeper' is very strong...

But the opponent will definitely be under great suppression in the Chanis Gate. Klein also has the Yangyan Talisman that can restrain the opponent. He will definitely not retreat in this situation.

Klein didn't notice that after he left, Cornelia White's fingers suddenly moved.

He quickly walked down the spiral staircase and came to a flat ground paved with stone slabs. It was a long corridor with gas lamps surrounded by metal grids inlaid on the walls on both sides. If he walked to the end of this road, he would see the Gate of Chanis.

Klein took two quick steps forward. In the middle of the aisle, he saw the disheveled figure of Ince Zangwill in the light of the gas lamp.

There were several bloody holes on the black double-breasted frock coat that Ince Zangwill was wearing. One of his legs seemed to have been hit hard, and he walked with an ugly limp.

But he finally succeeded in obtaining Saint Selina's ashes, even though the price was that his nose, mouth, and eyes kept bleeding and one of his legs was broken.

When he saw Klein, his expression was extremely ugly, because he had never expected Klein to come back so soon.

As the former archbishop of the Church of Evernight, Ince Zangwill was qualified to access all kinds of information within the Church of Evernight. He had set his sights on the ashes of Saint Selina in Tingen City long before he defected, so he would naturally make sufficient preparations and learn more in advance.

Even though the Church of Evernight would make some adjustments to its defense deployments in various locations after his defection, the adjustments that could be made to the distribution of Night Watchmen in places like Tingen City were ultimately limited.

After obtaining some basic information through the psychic Cornel White, Ince Zangwill quickly locked down the approximate location of Saint Selina's ashes based on his understanding of Chanis Gate and his own experience.

Chapter 79 Bad Luck

The special environment inside the Chanis Gate has a great suppressive effect on Extraordinary People, especially on foreign invaders like Ince Zangwill.

But Ince Zangwill was not unprepared. He used the remaining half of the characteristics of the Descendant of the God of Death to help himself offset the suppression from the Chanis Gate to a certain extent.

Ince Zangwill risked his life to withstand the attacks of three Nighthawks and snatch Saint Selina's ashes. Although it was a sealed artifact corresponding to Sequence Four, it was ultimately just a dead object.

After entering the Chanis Gate, Ince Zangwill also tried to unseal several seals with living properties that were suppressed inside, which caused a lot of trouble for the three Nighthawks.

After Ince Zangwill successfully stole Saint Selina's ashes, he did think about killing the three remaining Nighthawks, but he was shocked to find that he could not do it at all. If he did not leave Chanis Gate immediately, he would be trapped inside forever.

He used the power of the seal 0-08 but did not delay Klein's steps. In fact, he only slightly delayed the speed of Leonard and others' return.

The three branches of the Orthodox Church in Tingen City had very good relations with each other. They quickly negotiated a follow-up plan for the relevant incidents. Leonard was responsible for staying and participating in the investigation with the Punisher, while the Heart of Steam sent people to escort the "Sword of the Goddess" back to the Blackthorn Security Company for treatment.

If Ince Zangwill had not escaped quickly enough, he would have been almost trapped in Chanis Gate by Siga Teon, Old Neil and the old guard.

Although the combined strength of the three of them was not as great as that of Ince Zangwill, they were not afraid of death and were willing to sacrifice themselves for the Church of Evernight.

But Ince Zangwill couldn't do that, because after betraying the Church of Evernight, he had lost his faith in self-sacrifice, and the only thought in his mind was how to make himself live better.

If Ince Zangwill still had the courage to give it a try before he snatched Saint Selina's ashes, now Ince Zangwill only wants to find a place to take the potion as soon as possible and become a demigod.

After paying a heavy price, Ince Zangwill escaped from the Gate of Chanis in a panic with a limp.

If it weren't for the fact that the Chanis Gate lost the ashes of Saint Selina, and the many sealed objects stored inside wanted to escape, someone had to stay behind to suppress them. Then, Ince Zangwill might not have been able to escape successfully from the three desperate Nighthawks.
