Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 278 The Real Goal

After a fierce battle, they defeated the enemy, but their initial target escaped.

Everyone fell silent.

"Who are you!?" A furious shout came from the battlefield near the Moon Hotel.

"The Aurora Society!" Belt had already put away the golden cross in his hand, and took out a badge from his pocket. It was impossible for him to fight the church's red gloves.

"The Aurora Society?!" The leader with the red gloves paused in his tracks.

The other members of the Red Gloves also had strange expressions. The existence of the Aurora Society was no secret, but it was embarrassing that the Aurora Society frequently notified the Church of the Night to whitewash their actions.

"The witch Triss has escaped, so you can remove the veil of darkness now," Bert reminded them.

The captain of the Red Gloves confirmed the authenticity of the badge, gave Belt a deep look, and nodded to someone behind him.

Upon seeing this, the man closed one of the boxes he was holding.

The box seemed to contain a sea of ​​stars; once the lid was closed, the entire night sky was concealed.

Pedestrians reappeared on the streets, and all the damage caused by the battle disappeared.

This is a perfect battlefield for extraordinary beings.

"You all need to come back with us!" The Red Gloves Captain stared at each of them with a serious look in his eyes.

"Okay," Belt agreed immediately.

"Are you feeling better?" Leonard helped Klein to his feet.

Klein was not having a good time after being hit by a demigod's curse, even if the curse only had about half the power of a demigod.

"It's alright..." Klein felt dizzy. The Darkness Realm and the Purifying Light were indeed powerful, having completely removed the curse, but they had caused him a lot of damage to his spirit.

"Let's go over there," Klein said, looking towards Belt.

Where do you want to go?

Klein's body stiffened abruptly. The voice was extremely eerie, like the murmurs and delirium inherent in that potion—a power that could drive someone mad and out of control.

Leonard was convulsing all over, bleeding from his ears and nose, and his face was covered in bulging veins.

Because of the purity unique to the "Dream" pathway, Klein has a strong resistance to such insane ramblings.

However, when he tried to use his extraordinary abilities, his head throbbed with pain as if pricked by needles, and the injury he had just suffered greatly affected his condition.

"You can't escape!" That voice rang in Klein's ears again, and his heart pounded in his chest.

He could clearly feel a hand on his shoulder, and even saw Belt and Miss Sharon's shock.

They reacted immediately, but it was too late. Both the Dark Realm and the mirror jump of the vengeful spirits were just a tiny time difference away.

Because there are twinkling stars, that is the "Traveler's Gate".

Triss is back?!

Everyone was terrified. The red glove instinctively opened the box in its hand, and night fell again, enveloping all the extraordinary beings and pulling them into another world.

However, the darkness of night cannot be as fast as "teleportation".

Buzz... Klein felt a buzzing sound in his ears, and then the world began to blur, become abstract and incomprehensible, and all the colors seemed to turn into various colors of ink.

This is a teleportation to the spirit world!

Just then, the Mirror of Arodes in Klein's hand trembled slightly, as if it were about to bypass the rules and directly punish the witch who had offended her master.

Its lightning can interrupt this transmission process.

But how could Triss forget this mirror that almost changed the course of the battle?

A hand wearing a sapphire ring gently reached out and pressed against the mirror.

A faint blue light flashed on the sapphire ring, and Arodes fell silent, as if a layer of frost had formed on the mirror's surface.

This is a seal.

Meanwhile, Klein was also trying to save himself, putting his hand in his suit pocket and painfully channeling his spiritual energy into a bronze whistle.

Ugh!

A faint sound came from the copper whistle, as if it had been blown.

"Please don't resist, okay?" A gentle voice seemed to be stirring Klein's mind.

At that moment, Klein truly closed his eyes, as if he had given up all resistance, as if he had resigned himself to his fate.

In Klein's mental world, there is another symbol gathering!

He forcibly sketched out a serpentine rune symbolizing fate with his spirituality, and it existed for a fleeting moment.

"That's more like it!" Triss's voice was filled with a girlish excitement. The two of them had already entered the spirit world, and they would reach their destination in a very short time.

That was when Triss would enjoy her prey.

I'm really looking forward to it...

Triss blushed.

But accidents always happen unexpectedly.

Bang!

A skeletal monster crashed into them without warning.

"How is this possible?" Triss was speechless with astonishment. The teleportation was so short and well-concealed; how could it have been interrupted by a monster?!

How could I be so unlucky?

Triss suddenly looked up and gazed into the depths of the spirit world, where there seemed to be a floating castle. It was entirely black, with towering spires and covered in vines, and had a very Gothic style.

At the top of the castle stood a huge headless woman, dressed in elaborate and gorgeous clothes, holding four golden-haired, red-eyed, and brightly colored heads in her hands.

All four heads glanced in this direction at that moment, and the images of Triss and Klein were reflected in their four heads and four pairs of eyes.

Triss's heart clenched suddenly, and her whole body went cold, as if she had seen something terrifying.

At that moment, Klein suddenly opened his eyes, his body gradually withered and turned into a paper figure. At the same time, Klein took the Mirror of Arodes and came behind the bone monster.

The bone monster came for him, grabbed his body, and teleported him to the spirit world.

"Ah!" Triss suddenly screamed.

The sound erupted in the spirit world, filled with frantic babbling, like the murmur of an evil god.

This wasn't an attack Triss could launch; rather, it was the intense emotional turmoil of Triss's loss that triggered the sapphire ring.

Klein's brain was struck again, and he fell into a complete coma. Even the bone monster shattered, having absorbed most of the damage for Klein.

However, before completely disintegrating, the bone monster suddenly threw Klein's body into the deeper part of the spirit world, teleporting him away.

As a messenger, it has done its job well enough.

"Ah!" Triss watched helplessly as her prey was teleported away, her body and soul trembling.

She wailed in agony, as a force that did not belong to her, yet resonated with her in a way that was strangely compatible with her, merged with her.

Even though she was still Sequence Six, all the spirit beings in the spirit world subconsciously retreated and dared not approach her.

From atop the Gothic castle, the enormous figure carrying Triss's head watched from afar as she went mad, without any intention of attacking.

I'm taking a day off tomorrow. Finals are so busy, I'm rushing around...
