However, as long as he can save old Neil, Moraine doesn't care how much he wants to show off.

Soon, the Night Watch squad's carriage stopped in front of Old Neil's detached house.

After having Caesar drive the carriage away to a distance, Dunn composed himself, holding a cane in one hand and the sealed artifact "3-0611" in his gloved other hand, and walked toward the main gate with his deep gray eyes.

Number: 3-0611, Name: Quiet Hair.

This is a simple ornament made of many strands of deep black hair intertwined.

All living beings will lose all desires and emotions, including but not limited to hunger, anger, sadness, pain, jealousy, envy, hatred, happiness, satisfaction, and greed, if they come into contact with it without protection.

It has been confirmed that the affected creatures will lose even the desire to detach themselves from 3-0611, and they will stay quietly in place until the end of their lives.

If an external force separates the affected person from 3-0611, the former will gradually return to normal. However, experimental data shows that this is only possible if the contact time does not exceed two hours.

If the contact lasts longer than two hours, the affected person will remain silent forever.

Direct contact can be avoided by wearing gloves or other means.

Klein pulled down his half-high silk hat and followed behind the captain, Luo Yao, through the garden planted with roses and mint.

He looked around but couldn't find Morion.

"Visiting Old Neil" was the name of the mission that Klein told Luo Yao.

This sounds like a quest in an RPG online game where you find the old man at the village entrance. Klein hopes this quest can be as simple as in the game, where you just need to find the target "Old Neil", submit the item "Quiet Hair", and then wait for the quest character to receive the reward.

There shouldn't be any deaths during the beginner quests. If that actually happens, I'll definitely report the game's developers!

Klein muttered to himself.

He was a little nervous and could only relax by constantly making sarcastic remarks.

Soon, the three arrived at the door, and Klein took the lead and pulled the rope that connected to the bell inside the house.

He glanced at the gate; it was intact, without any signs of damage.

Jingle bells!

The crisp, melodious ringing of the bell echoed in the room, breaking the heavy silence.

Jingle bells! Jingle bells!

Klein pulled a few times in succession, then politely stepped back and did not try again.

On the other side of the door, the carpet in the foyer was covered with a blood-red, viscous, hairy liquid.

The living room floor, ceiling, round table, piano, and chairs were all covered in something similar—a disgusting, viscous, bloody liquid covered with dense, short black hairs.

Old Neil's white head hung in mid-air, connected to the ceiling by thick mucus, with a pair of eyes growing from his forehead and cheeks, cold eyes without eyelashes.

As he listened to the doorbell ringing outside, the eyes that had sprouted on his face began to dart around.

Old Neil opened his mouth, about to speak, but then seemed to notice something and closed it again.

His eyes peered through the wooden door, looking out at Dunn, Luo Yao, and Klein.

Finally, his gaze fell on Dunn's hands, and on the sealed artifact 3-0611.

The three night watchmen waited patiently for several minutes, but they never heard any footsteps coming to open the door.

“Perhaps old Neil went to see a doctor and isn’t home,” Klein said with a forced smile.

It's also possible that Mr. Tower came beforehand and already resolved the issue?

Klein thought to himself.

But he felt the possibility was slim.

Moraine has a bit of a performative personality; he probably won't make a move until the audience is all there.

Before he finished speaking, a melodious piano tune suddenly came from inside the room.

Dunn's expression immediately became unusually serious and solemn, and Klein's heart sank a little.

He was about to perform a divination when he suddenly saw water gushing out from the crack below the main entrance.

The water was initially clear and pure, then it turned crimson, a blood-red, intensely rich crimson, exuding the scent of fresh blood.

It was thick blood.

Klein's expression froze instantly as he saw his own eyes reflected in the crimson blood at his feet.

He watched helplessly as the blood flowed out, down the steps, onto the stone path, and into the soil of the garden in front of the door.

But at that very moment, a voice echoed in his mind.

tick...

That was the sound of a water droplet falling from the sky into the water, the sound he had been waiting for all the way.

Dunn, Luo Yao, and he all heard it.

Apart from Klein, the other two instinctively gripped their objects tightly, their muscles tensing as they assumed Old Neil was planning something.

Immediately following was the voice of a strange man, which echoed in the minds of the people present.

Dunn reacted the fastest. Just as he was about to roll to the side to dodge and warn his teammates, he suddenly saw a brilliant starry sky unfold beneath his feet, enveloping him before he could react.

…………

Inside Old Neil's detached house.

The piano keys seemed to be jumping on their own, producing a beautiful and melodious tune.

Just as the head hanging from the ceiling was about to speak, it suddenly heard the voice of a stranger.

It was a completely unfamiliar language, but he and the three people outside the door all understood it.

"Expanding the Domain, Filling the Mayfly's Dream".

The room suddenly brightened up.

The room, which had been dim because the lights were off, suddenly became bright.

Because the gate disappeared.

Not only the main door, but also the walls and doors around the room disappeared all at once, leaving only four load-bearing pillars and a ceiling, along with the house itself.

The moment the sound faded, the crimson liquid that had been clinging to the wall lost its support and fell to the ground, mixing with the existing blood and spreading out on the surface, which resembled a flattened starry sky.

The floors of his room and the basement also disappeared.

Fortunately, the ceiling was preserved, preventing his head from falling to the ground.

The walls and doors disappeared, and Klein and the others met the gaze of old Neil inside the room.

Dunn and the others first subconsciously observed their surroundings, noticing the strange area they had been pulled into, and then their attention was immediately drawn to Old Neil.

“Old Neil…” Klein murmured.

Dunn gently placed his cane on the ground, raised his head, and looked around while making eye contact with Old Neil.

Old Neil's six eyes darted around, then suddenly became clearer.

Pulled into Morion's domain, he seemed to finally come to his senses, looking around blankly and taking in everything.

In an indescribable silence, he first looked at Dunn and the others without saying a word, then all six of his eyes simultaneously rose up, looking behind Dunn and the others, and then into the air.

Dunn and the others also turned around and looked upwards.

Above them was the ocean hanging upside down and a man with a mask on his profile.

Morion's last expansion of his domain was based on a series of coincidences.

However, a mage who has opened a domain once and a mage who has never opened a domain are fundamentally two different kinds of people.

Just like with Black Flash, those who have used Black Flash before can use it more effectively, and those who have activated their Domain can naturally activate it more easily.

Moreover, this time, he has been promoted to wizard, his brain has been further enhanced, and he has the ability to create spells based on experience.

Although Moraine has many other ways to solve the pollution problem.

But so what?!

As everyone knows, in the world of anime, once a special move is used, it becomes a permanent skill.

A Shinigami who has used Bankai once will be able to use Bankai against anyone.

If you have a domain, of course you should open one!

For no other reason than because he's handsome!

He wanted to open a domain for every person he met.

Dunn recognized Moraine immediately.

Because Leonard and Klein had given him a general description of Morion's appearance.

Exquisite facial features, fluorescent patterns on her face and arms.

Most importantly, he has a mask but doesn't wear it; instead, he hangs it on the side of his face.

This shape makes it relatively easy to recognize.

Moraine released her hands, and the four arms behind her back dispersed and rejoined her body.

Leonard also shared his guess, which is why Dunn didn't act immediately.

This seems to be... friendly forces?

Regardless of whether he is an ally or not, he is a demigod.

The fact that he's a demigod means that Old Neil might be saved.

"Why are you looking at me? Look at your teammates."

Moraine gestured to Old Neil, then took a step forward and descended from the air.

With each step he took forward, a series of steps formed by swarms of insects descended from his feet, supporting him as he walked down from mid-air.

Dunn and his two companions immediately realized that Moraine's words were absolutely right and made perfect sense. Their wariness of Moraine instantly dropped to its lowest level, as if Moraine were their comrade-in-arms who had fought side by side for many years.

Klein was the first to accept the situation; he immediately turned his head back to look at Old Neil.

However, he opened his mouth and then closed it again, unsure of what to say in the current situation.

Then came Dunn and Luo Yao.
