Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 11 Old Neil!!

"Not needed for now."

Dunn waved his hand and said calmly, "Ember has already healed us. This is just a misunderstanding."

Leonard looked at his captain with a speechless expression.

"So that means no treatment is needed?"

Old Neil shrugged, looking somewhat speechless.

Is there any possibility?

Dunn was about to nod when he heard Ember suddenly say, "You need treatment yourself."

"I?"

Old Neil looked at Ember with surprise; he had never seen this young man before.

"Ember, what do you mean by this?"

"Al Hassen asked in a deep voice."

He didn't think Yu Jin was a talkative person; in fact, he could be described as somewhat taciturn.

The fact that the other party suddenly said such a thing suggests that something must have happened to this old Neil.

"I smelled the stench of human pus."

Yu Jin tried to be as concise as possible.

He didn't know if any more people in this world still existed.

But as he said, he did indeed smell something similar.

As for how he recognized him?

Ha ha.

Anyone who has been tortured by a person a few times will become extremely familiar with it.

Even if you are burned to ashes, you will remember them just like your combat instincts such as parrying and rolling!

"Human pus? What's that?"

A hint of doubt appeared in Dunn and the others' eyes, but more so in their wariness of Old Neil and Ember.

There must be something wrong with one of them.

Either Old Neil really has a problem and it just so happens that Ember discovers it.

Either the seemingly normal embers had actually been 'contaminated' during the process of perusing the Antigonus family notes.

Neither of these scenarios is good news.

Of course, it's also possible that this is just a misunderstanding.

But everyone knows that the possibility is extremely slim.

"I……"

Old Neil opened his mouth, but his expression suddenly became somewhat flustered, as if he was trying his best to hide something.

His expression immediately made Dunn's expression darken.

no doubt.

The problem is with old Neil.

"Old Neil, what on earth happened?"

Dunn took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

The three of them exchanged glances and subtly blocked Old Neil's path.

They weren't Tingen's night watchmen and didn't have a deep connection with old Neil.

If the other party has a problem and the night watchmen in Tingen are unable to do it, they can take over.

"I...I just..."

Old Neil watched the others' subtle actions, a bitter look appearing on his aged face. "I've only gained some knowledge, it's nothing serious..."

"What kind of knowledge? Where did you acquire this knowledge?!"

Dunn's expression grew increasingly serious, as if he were interrogating Old Neil.

"He, He..."

Old Neil opened his mouth but couldn't say anything, as if he had some unspeakable secret or something preventing him from speaking.

"The Hidden Sage?"

Leonard suddenly spoke, hitting the nail on the head.

Dunn glanced at Leonard, then subconsciously looked at Neil, whose expression turned flustered again.

Clearly, Leonard guessed correctly.

But this also made everyone present look extremely solemn.

The wise man is hidden.

That's a genuine evil god!

"Don't pray to any deity other than the seven principal gods, have you forgotten?"

Dunn's voice became somewhat dry and hoarse, and a deep sadness appeared in his eyes.

Old Neil's expression changed from panic to a hint of shame.

Of course he knows, of course he knows.

As the Night Watchman of the Church of the Night, how could he not know this?

But...but...

"What exactly did He 'teach' you to write?!"

Dunn gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, old Neil! Tell me!"

"He taught me the alchemy of life; He can resurrect Celeste..."

Old Neil's voice trembled with tears, "You know, Dunn, I can't give her up again."

Dunn's heart sank to the bottom.

Of course he knew.

He hadn't witnessed it firsthand, but he had read Old Neil's records.

Although he often suffers from amnesia, he never forgets important things.

When Old Neil was young, he had a girlfriend he was about to get engaged to, but she suddenly fell seriously ill and was incurable. Old Neil risked revealing the secrets of the extraordinary to try to save her with ritual magic, but he still failed.

At that time, Neil was only a beginner in the field of occultism.

The night watchmen were all wary that Old Neil might lose control because of this.

Fortunately, he eventually regained his composure and did not exhibit any abnormal behavior.

He showed no abnormalities until he became the head of Tingen and worked with old Neil ever since.

Looking back now, perhaps they simply failed to notice.

Dunn closed his eyes in anguish.

Old Neil has undoubtedly been contaminated; the only question is the extent of his contamination.

Everyone knows that the Hidden Sage is an evil god, and everyone knows that you should never pray to an evil god.

But how many people can truly overcome the desires in their hearts?

"Old Neil."

Dunn said in a hoarse voice, "Go into the Charnis Gate. Go in by yourself. I don't want to force you."

Besides being used to store sealed artifacts, the Chanis Gate can also be used temporarily to imprison heretics, heretics, cultists, and members of secret organizations. The power of darkness within the Chanis Gate suppresses the power of all evil gods.

Now, Neil has reached the point where he has no choice but to use Charismon.

Old Neil gave a bitter smile.

He nodded, turned and walked toward the passageway, toward Chanis Gate.

Throughout this process, the others did not let their guard down.

Until the Charnis Gate opened, until they personally "escorted" him inside.

"Leonard, what happened?"

Klein, who had originally stayed in the armory to replace Old Neil, came out and watched as the group "escorted" Old Neil into the Charnis Gate. He couldn't help but ask.

"Old Neil has been 'contaminated'."

Leonard succinctly stated, "If this isn't dealt with soon, he could easily lose control, so we can only temporarily rely on Chanismon's power to prevent him from doing so."

"How could it suddenly lose control?"

Klein was clearly incredulous, looking somewhat disoriented.

Old Neil seemed perfectly normal.

"He was whispered by a hidden sage in order to resurrect his deceased wife."

Leonard explained, then suddenly chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Even I didn't realize it. If it weren't for the embers, we might not have discovered all this until Old Neil lost control."

"What exactly is a Hidden Sage?"

Klein was filled with doubt, and couldn't help but subconsciously look at Ember, "How did you find out?"

"It's just a coincidence."

"Embers said calmly."

He said it was human pus.

Leonard rambled on, "Although I don't know what he meant, the result was that he pinpointed that old Neil had been corrupted."

"Human pus?!"

Klein's pupils contracted slightly.

Embers, tracking soul crystal fragments, human pus—is this really just a coincidence?

How could this be a coincidence!
