Secrets: Priestess

Chapter 117 Interrogation
Backlund, Bwist Street, inside an unknown single-family house.

Mingling with the partygoers, Claire tapped the nightmare doll at her waist and activated her dream-entering ability as planned.

Everyone was drowsy.

Even the masked man in black robe who was sitting alone on the single sofa had heavy eyelids.

At the same time, the wooden door at the entrance exploded!
The gatekeeper was leaning against the door and fell asleep when he was suddenly hit by the explosion and fell to the ground seriously injured in the flames!

Creste Cesimer held a pitch-black spear in one hand and stabbed Mr. A, who was sitting on the sofa, with the sound of explosions!

A transparent, gigantic, armored spirit emerged from the surface of Creste's divine body. Creste's aura instantly transformed from silent to cold and violent, like a Ghost Rider from ancient times!
The pitch-black spear pierced through Mr. A's chest under the black robe!
Mr. A's hood fell off and his mask shattered.

"woman?"

In the other half of the living room, Claire woke up from her dream on her own initiative after noticing that another "nightmare" had intervened in her dream.

She saw the person whose chest was pierced by Krestey. When the hood fell off, a beautiful woman's face was revealed. The woman's stiff eyes still retained the shock and horror before death.

"wrong……"

Claire subconsciously felt that something was fishy about this matter and stood up and took out her revolver.

At this moment, next to Claire, the unconscious Grelint's body exploded like a ripe watermelon, turning into sticky, rich flesh and blood, rushing towards Cecima who was holding a pitch-black spear!

Not only Grellint, nearly half of the sleeping party members exploded into sticky flesh and blood!
These clumps of sticky flesh and blood merged into a long carpet of flesh and blood at an extremely fast speed, covering Creste Cesimma!
But Creste's body did not shake at all. He frowned and continued to stare at the woman's corpse nailed to the wall behind him by his black spear.

Those long carpets of flesh and blood collapsed and disappeared before they even touched Creste!

It disappeared completely, without even a trace of blood left!

Claire turned her gaze around and saw that all the people who had just exploded into flesh and blood, including Viscount Greylint, were still in a deep sleep.

But the state of these people gave Claire the feeling of being in a different world.

"Is it a dream? No..."

Claire heard a noise at the door and saw the "Requiem Master" Soest and Cindy with long wine-red hair walking into the room carrying an antique silver-plated mirror.

"That's... Sealed Artifact '1-63'!"

Claire had once used her captain's authority to view the sealed object behind the Chanis Gate in the Backlund Diocese. This mirror, "1-63," could separate the Beyonders in the same space from the real world and pull them all into the mirror world it created.

"1-63" is only for Extraordinary People!
The appearance of "1-63" made Claire immediately understand the current situation.

"So it turns out that we, the Beyonders, have been isolated in the mirror world! Ordinary people like Grellint, who were infected by Mr. A and turned into flesh bombs, have been isolated in the real world. Therefore, the flesh bombs that Mr. A had planted in ordinary people cannot be detonated..."

The long carpet of flesh and blood that just exploded was just an illusion.

"Long-range attack." Standing a little distance away from the female corpse, Cecima gave a light order.

A female resentment condensed in front of Cecima, and ice spears rose from the ground towards the female corpse.

Soster and Cindy also fired at the female corpse nailed to the wall by the black spear. At this moment, the abdomen of the female corpse was suddenly torn open!
Two arms belonging to an adult man protruded from the abdomen of the female corpse!

When the pair of hands wrapped in sticky liquid were exposed to the air, they made grabbing movements out of thin air. The blood and flesh mist that exploded around them condensed into a thin blood-red cloak under the guidance of the spiritual power, resisting all ice spears and bullets.

Behind the blood-red cloak, the two arms soaked in sticky liquid suddenly stretched out, and a figure the size of an ordinary adult man crawled out from the belly of the female corpse!
He was naked and covered in various sticky liquids.

The moment he crawled out of the woman's belly, all the remaining flesh and blood turned into a blood-red robe, covering his naked body.

A man in red stood beside a pitch-black spear, in a prayer posture, like a blooming red rose.

The beautiful and enchanting face resembles a woman, pious and calm.

Creste, who stood calmly opposite her, showed no surprise. Instead, he warned Claire, "Your informant seems to be in danger."

Following Crested's instructions, Claire looked through the cracks in the wall and saw Xio sleeping soundly in the study, along with a man wearing a golden mask.

Claire slowly took out a pair of red gloves and put them on.

This pair of blood-red gloves contains the gift of the goddess, which can enable the extraordinary people of the "Sleepless Man" path to exert the increased combat power in the dark.

The simple earrings fixed on the gloves were activated by spiritual power, and the candle flame in the study suddenly shot up. Claire jumped out of the flames, pointing the revolver at the forehead of the man with the golden mask.

"No shooting allowed here!"

The man wearing the golden mask pushed his palm forward, making people feel that he had become tall and majestic.

The revolver in Claire's hand actually became stiff and difficult to hold after hearing these words.

Claire clenched her hand holding the pistol into a fist and smashed it down towards the masked man's head. Her years of fighting experience in Tingen allowed her to suddenly mobilize all her strength. With one punch, she broke the man's arm that was trying to block, and continued to smash into his head without losing momentum.

At this critical moment, the man with the golden mask shouted again, "One of us!"

At the shout, Claire changed direction and smashed the opponent's other arm with one punch. In the brief moment, she dislocated the opponent's leg joints, leaving the man with the golden mask lying on the ground.

"I'm an intelligence officer from MI9!" The man with the golden mask endured the injuries on his arms and emphasized to Claire again.

The masked man displayed extraordinary abilities similar to those of Duke Negan, and was most likely an extraordinary person of the "Arbitrator" path.

Claire said, "Tell me your sequence."

"'Judge', Sequence 6 'Judge'." The man with the golden mask answered very clearly and concisely.

This MI9 intelligence officer was clearly more willing to reveal secrets in exchange for a chance to survive.

Out of vigilance against this "Judge," Claire didn't pay attention to the battle on Crested's side. At least with Hugh still sleeping beside her, it proved that the "Red Gloves" still had enough energy to control the situation.

MI9... After Claire arrived in Backlund, she heard that this was an organization of Beyonders controlled by the royal family and the nobility. They seemed to have control over some sequences of the "Arbitrator" pathway.

Claire asked, "As an MI9 intelligence officer, why did you appear at Mr. A's party?"
