Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 277 Sealing the Sun
"Why did the demigod of the Church of Darkness come here?"

Tracy was shocked. As pirates, they were still very wary of these official Beyonders belonging to the Orthodox Church. Even Qi Lingos before only dared to attack Sequence 7 Nightwatchers in some small cities. At least so far, no pirate general has a record of killing a demigod.

"Is that really the demigod of the Church of Evernight..."

Katerina didn't answer, just muttered to herself.

The brief fight just now had allowed Katarina to discover that the opponent seemed to be a demigod of the "Sleepless" path, but after all, she had not used much of her abilities and could not make an accurate judgment.

"You mean, that was Gaglan in disguise?" Tracy asked.

"No, I'm not sure yet. I'm very familiar with Gagran's aura. Even if she comes back to life, I can't make a mistake."

Catalina said with certainty, "Unless there are audience saints and destiny saints with a sequence no lower than mine who disguise her together, it is possible to hide from me and the sect's seal. Moreover, he has never used the abilities of either the Death Path or the Witch Path."

"The demigods of the night are all very good at hiding, so it's no wonder that he has been hiding on the ship until now... But what is he after? If he has set his sights on those witches, there is no need for him to wait until now. Even if he wanted to play the long game and catch a big fish, he should know that he can't succeed after seeing me. The more important thing is to go back and report. Why did he follow us through the abyss whirlpool?"

Katarina thought doubtfully. Audience Saints and Fate Saints were very rare compared to Saints from other paths, and the possibility of Gagran gathering the help of these two types of people was very small. And even if this possibility was greater, she had to think according to the worst case scenario, that is, this dark saint had other purposes, and Gagran was still hiding in the dark.

"Let me think, let me think..."

Catalina walked back and forth quickly on the beach several times, her expression becoming increasingly ferocious.

"You don't need to worry about the demigod who entered the observatory for now. The air wall's barrier won't disappear anyway, and no one can change the characteristics of the Witch of Disaster... The seal I brought can only be used to seal other seals, and it will be useless in a high-sequence war..."

Catalina's expression changed from confusion to fierceness, and finally she punched her own palm.

"Mother?"

Tracy was frightened by Katerina's expression and asked cautiously.

"I'm fine." Katarina immediately returned to her usual posture as the White Saint, and the terrifying expression just now seemed to have been shown by someone else.

"Mother, what should we do next?" Tracy calmed down. "It seems that we won't be able to get the witch's characteristics for a while. And are you sure you can deal with the demigod of the night and the possible appearance of Gagran?"

"Who said I was going to deal with Gagran and that demigod?"

Catalina's smile was still as dignified as ever, but there was a chill in her voice that made people's hair stand on end.

"We brought the 'Witch's Embrace' Sealed Artifact this time, so we just need to focus on the sealing properties. There's no need for us to deal with either Gagran or the demigod ourselves."

"But the clue to the Fountain of Youth is inside the air wall..."

Tracy was interrupted by Katarina halfway through her words: "Who said I want to seal the Fountain of Youth?"

"So what you mean is..." Tracy asked puzzledly.

Catalina pointed to the top of her head with a smile. In the high sky above her, the never-extinguishing sun was tirelessly emitting light and heat, purifying the pollution in the sea.

"I want to seal the sun here."

"Seal...the sun?!"

Wendy and Tracy looked at each other, speechless for a while.

Bimini Island has sunk into the ground over the past few thousand years. The sunlight here that can purify pollution within a certain range is also made by the seal. As long as the sun is sealed, the entire island will be swallowed by the pollution of the ocean outside. If Gegran still wants to be promoted, he will lose control at best, or die directly at worst, and not even a residue will be left.

"Then, what about Adele?" Wendy asked almost subconsciously.

"Then we can only pray that this air wall can also block the pollution."

Catalina still smiled and said, "Sometimes you have to make some sacrifices... Although this sacrifice is too heavy for us, the current situation has begun to go beyond the control of the sect."

"But, what about your industry in Indo Port and your cooperation with the nobles? That can only be done by Adele!"

Wendy tried to defend Adele, "Also, the attitude of the Church of the God of War is hard to grasp..."

"You seem to know a lot about these things..."

Katerina glanced at Wendy meaningfully, "Then how about I give you a bottle of witch potion and let you take Adele's place?"

"But I'm already a Beyonder. If I take more potions, I'll definitely lose control..."

Wendy answered subconsciously, and then Katarina leaned on her shoulder, and the cold breath from her mouth made Wendy shiver.

"If you don't want to, just shut up." Catalina said viciously, "Just focus on driving the boat."

The courage that Wendy had finally gathered was blown away in an instant, and she froze in place, not daring to move.

"Of course, she is not completely without a chance..." Katerina regained her gentle demeanor and continued, "It takes at least twelve hours for my magical item to seal the characteristics of Sequence 2 and above. If she can open the seal and let us in during this period, it would be great."

Wendy didn't dare to speak and could only follow Tracy towards the ship, looking back from time to time in the direction of the air barrier where Katarina was drawing a huge magic circle.

"Don't look over there. The things you're about to see aren't something we can see with our naked eyes at this level." Tracy pulled Wendy back and warned her sternly.

I hope Miss Adele can come back soon... Wendy prayed in her heart.

……

On the road outside the Hilton Hotel, Adele and Qiao Qiao's police car was speeding.

"It seems like something was crushed just now."

Adele steadied herself during the bumpy ride and spoke to Qiao Qiao who was driving.

"Who knows, maybe it's a mouse." Qiao Qiao continued to look straight ahead, seemingly unconcerned about the thing with an obvious flesh and blood texture.

"Well, if you say so then so be it."

In the past twenty minutes, Adele had become accustomed to the abnormalities happening in the city.

They shot down humanoids who refused to expose their heads, killed colleagues who had mutated and no longer wore strobe lights, used rockets to blow up obstacles and checkpoints that suddenly appeared on the road, and threw flash bombs into the sudden darkness.

Now, they have reached the highest point of the entire island. As long as they move forward up a slope, they will reach Adele's destination - the Hilton Hotel, where information about the Fountain of Youth may be hidden.

"Looks like we're almost there..."

Just as Adele was about to speak, Qiao Qiao covered her mouth.

"Nothing, it's just that saying this right now is a bit like setting a flag, so let's wait until we get into the hotel...!!!"

Qiao Qiao had just said half of her words when Adele's spiritual intuition suddenly gave a crazy warning, followed by a violent collision that hit the side of the police car hard.

The small bulletproof car was caught off guard and moved straight to the outside for a whole lane before it stopped. Even the guardrails at the edge of the mountain road were smashed to pieces, and it almost fell into the deep valley.

"Flash bomb, quick!" Qiao Qiao yelled, then stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel to the limit, trying to turn the car back.

According to the regulations for police officers on duty, when a vehicle is hit, they should throw a flash bomb outward, one is enough.

Adele quickly took out a flash grenade, pulled the trigger and threw it out of the window, but by then the second impact had already occurred and the car spun and rushed toward the cliff, finally getting stuck on the cliff.

Fortunately, the description in the manual was correct. After a strong flash, the collision did stop. However, the police car was stuck on the edge of the cliff and it was obviously impossible to continue moving the two forward.

"It looks like we have to get off the bus."

Adele sighed, carefully took off the police lights in her seat, took the equipment, and then jumped out of the car with Qiao Qiao.

After the two men jumped out of the car, the police car creaked and swayed twice due to the lack of counterweight at the front end, and finally fell into the dark valley.

"It's a shame to lose a police light."

Qiao Qiao sighed, "Just follow me. After all, I've been trained for a while, so I'm a bit better than the average scholar."

Well, as long as you are happy...

Adele was too lazy to explain to the other party. After all, for a witch with quite comprehensive means, it was easier to grasp the overall situation by standing behind her. The two walked towards the top of the mountain along the almost deserted street, each holding a flashing red and blue police light in their hands.

The gloomy city was surprisingly quiet. Cars were silently burning under the traffic light poles, and bleeding limbs were dripping on the poles. Occasionally, unknown liquids dripped into the fire, making crackling sounds. Only the stubbornly flashing red light still indicated that the remnant of order was still wandering in this wasteland.

Adele found that she was gradually getting used to all this and felt indifferent to it. She just wanted to get to the hotel as soon as possible and let it all end as soon as possible. As for what she should do after arriving at the hotel, she didn't know, but she just felt that as long as she arrived at the hotel, this chaotic history would definitely end.

Is this the attraction of the Fountain of Youth? Adele thought about it, but she always felt that something was wrong.

"What's wrong Wendy? I think something is wrong with you... I suggest you read the last page of the manual as soon as possible."

Without turning back, Qiao Qiao spoke loudly to Adele behind her.

"Nothing, I'm just a little curious about why those things mutated."

Adele shook her head, indicating that she didn't need to read the manual.

"If I had understood, I wouldn't be doing these dirty jobs on the front line now." Qiao Qiao sighed, "At the first moment, all the scientists who knew the truth turned into monsters. Only marine biologists like me whose research topics have nothing to do with the starry sky survived. However, I can only do some low-level work, and all research activities are banned."

"You are also a scholar, but you don't know that the government prohibits research activities?" Qiao Qiao asked with some suspicion.

"I didn't know much about electronic equipment, I just focused on ancient writing. By the time I realized something was wrong, the world was completely wrong too."

Adele quickly found the interface and dealt with it skillfully.

"It's really a blessing to know nothing... In short, research activities are likely to cause contamination. This kind of contamination occurs in all walks of life and is likely to occur when there are new discoveries. Now similar research is completely banned, and we can only summarize the abnormal manifestation patterns and respond to them through manuals."

Qiao Qiao threw a piece of burning fire onto the pile of corpses, letting the flames slowly spread and illuminate her face.

"Anyway, we are about to enter a new area, and there is a new rule to inform you."

Qiao Qiao said seriously, "The hotel area was a safe area before, but it is probably no longer safe now. To be on the safe side, I want to read this regulation to you again."

". It is prohibited to observe mirror objects that can display one's own image alone, except for mirrors in safe areas, including mirror effects formed by water sources and various metals. Holographic sights should be used for sights."

"If someone observes their own mirror image for more than one minute and cannot be stopped by persuasion, please stand in the other person's mirror image and execute the contents of the last page. If your own mirror image observes something unusual, execute the contents of the last page. The mirror images in the safe area will be protected by the housekeeping team. When entering the safe area, you must accept the orders of the housekeeping team protecting the mirror. If you find any other mirror objects, please graffiti and destroy them."

Qiao Qiao finished reciting the poem skillfully, and then instructed Adele: "If one of us shows similar symptoms, the other party must follow the manual, otherwise it may cause unpredictable consequences."

"Although the mobile team dealt with most of the mirrors in the area, it is a resort hotel after all. There are too many things that can be used as mirrors. It is hard to guarantee that there are some that have not been dealt with properly. It is said that the people there used a whole box of markers to deal with the mirrors..."

Qiao Qiao complained a bit and asked worriedly, "Is everything clear?"

"Don't worry." Adele nodded, "I already know the dangers of the mirror."

Even in the world of extraordinary beings, mirrors are a very powerful medium for casting spells. Adele herself can use mirror substitutes, mirror curses and other means, so she naturally would not underestimate similar materials.

“It’s not that clear is useful.”

Qiao Qiao smiled bitterly, "You'll know when you see the mirror over there... Sometimes, the more we know something is dangerous, the more we want to get closer to see what's so dangerous."
