Mystery: Start with the Reader

I**! Seeing what "0-08" wrote on the rock, Ince Zangwill couldn't help but swear again, and he forced back the spirit world who had defected to Azik before the war and entangled him The creature, struggling to grasp the quill, quickly wrote on the rock:

"On the way, St. Anthony just happened to discover the demigod of the 'Thief' pathway who had shamed the Church of Evernight and made fun of the Nighthawks, so he turned to investigate... His decision is reasonable."

After writing this sentence, Ince's intact eye was full of coldness, and he felt that he couldn't continue like this, otherwise this time it was Saint Anthony, would he come to the "Eye of the Goddess" next time?

You must get rid of the "bad luck" on your body!

At this moment, he finally made a certain decision and took out a baby's umbilical cord from the seal of his own teeth.

This umbilical cord belongs to the "Child of the Evil God", it comes from the baby in Megose's womb, and it comes from the "True Creator"!

The reason why Ince Zangwill didn't use this magical item at the beginning was because it had extremely strong side effects. Once he used it, he would not only be marked by the "True Creator", but also his strength would be reduced to the original level within a period of time. Half of the price, the price is very high... and this item can only be used three times normally, every opportunity is very precious.

And Ince, as a demigod in the field of "bad luck", as long as he is given enough time, he feels that he has the ability to deal with the "blessing" from the so-called "Dark Emperor" of the so-called rogue... Unfortunately, the enemy is approaching in a blink of an eye. With bad luck again and again, "0-08" is still taking the opportunity to "make troubles", never giving him a chance to solve the problem, and even driving him to a desperate situation!

Therefore, he had no choice but to use the "killer weapon" of "the umbilical cord of the heir of the evil god".

That powerful spirit creature originally wanted to continue to attack Ince, but when it saw the umbilical cord in the opponent's hand, it hesitated, and its face showed a more humane look of fear.

And "0-08", who has been "making troubles" all the time, is quiet now, as if he is a quill that doesn't move at all.

Seeing that the "umbilical cord" frightened the spirit world creature, and "0-08" calmed down, Ince Zangwill finally breathed a sigh of relief, and was sure that the "bad luck" on his body should also be suppressed by the breath of the evil god. Then he helped Tester block Mr. Azik's attack, and won the activation item for the military demigod, the time to activate the "teleportation".

Tester really didn't want to continue the fight at this time. The fight was inexplicable, and the opponent was too strong, so after getting a chance to breathe, he immediately opened the "Teleportation Gate", and then pulled Ince Zangwill returned directly to a secret stronghold of MI9 near Backlund.

And before leaving,

Ince Zangwill did not forget to let a spirit he sealed self-destruct, and blew up the rock full of words.

Mr. Ards looked at the place where the two disappeared, and did not chase after them hastily. He first waved his hand to the apologetic spirit creature, signaling that it doesn't mind, then covered his forehead, and said to himself in an inaudible voice: " The fighting style of that man with the golden mask is very familiar...I seem to have fought many people like this...

"Trensost...Tamara...Augustus...Castile..."

...

In a sewer in the North District, Archbishop St. Anthony, who had lost his target, suddenly frowned and thought suspiciously:

"Why do I have to come to track down that 'thief' demigod? Obviously, whether it is the saint-level battle on the outskirts of the North District, or the telegram from the Mother Earth Church, it is more important...

"Could it be that I was also stolen by that demigod of the 'Stealer' path, making me forget why I chased her?"

He frowned and thought for a while, and finally gave up on tracking, returned to the ground, and rushed to the outskirts of the North District.

This made a certain demigod hiding in the depths of the sewer finally heave a sigh of relief, but she did not dare to stay where she was, but followed the pipeline into Queens, the safest but also most dangerous area in Backlund, and sneaked into the They found a noble family and started looking for a new "parasitic" target.

She hadn't chosen the "host" before because she needed to recuperate from her injuries. As a result, her injuries had just gotten better. The first time she went out to purchase items, she happened to meet the Archbishop of the Church of Evernight. Determined to find the "host" as soon as possible.

...

6 Rheinster Street, in the basement of the stronghold of the Aurora Society.

Archbishop Horamick of the Church of Steam has left, and seems to be supporting the "Singer of God"...

But at this time, the Heart of the Machine and the Nighthawks had arrived one after another, and the Beyonders of the four churches gathered together.

After hearing what Stuart told, they couldn't help feeling a little scared and grateful.

I'm afraid it's because the "Abyss of Flesh" ceremony is notorious. If it hadn't been destroyed, no one in this block would have survived. It would be a tragedy enough for the king and the prime minister to mourn in silence.

Fortunately, it was finally stopped by someone... Although the person who stopped it seems to be a subordinate of an evil god...

"Fool"..."Hero"..."Tarot Card"... Could it be that you were resurrected by an evil god? Ms. Daly, who was a member of the supporting Nighthawks team, looked at the title of "The Fool" on the paper in her hand, and thought silently in her heart.

She had some guesses about the identity of "Iron Man", so apart from worrying about someone's situation, she wanted to know as much as possible about that evil god named "The Fool".

She thought for a while and asked: "In the case of Lanwusi, the swindler had the 'Emperor' and the 'Wheel of Fortune' on his head; 'Emperor' and 'Judgment' were placed on the altar; and in this case, 'Emperor' and 'Tower' were placed next to the destroyed altar...

"What exactly does this mean? Any reasonable guesses?"

"I have a guess." Stuart, who is more familiar with Daly, took over the conversation and talked about his reasoning, "Well, I guess that the 'Emperor' should be the symbol of the rogue 'Dark Emperor', and he is probably in Laner It appeared in the case of Us, but it was not discovered by us..."

Having said that, he glanced at the Nighthawks present, after all, they were responsible for that case.

"We were indeed not there when Lanerus died." Wearing a black coat, white shirt, black tight trousers and leather boots of the same color, the good-looking Lolotta nodded.

Stuart nodded slightly when he heard the words, and continued: "As for the other card that is matched each time, I think there may be two meanings...

"First, it symbolizes what the 'Dark Emperor' did. The con man died at the hands of the 'Joker', which may symbolize the mockery from 'Fate', so the 'Wheel of Fortune' was inserted... The slave trader welcomed Come 'Judgment', so put 'Judgment'... The ritual of evil suffered destruction, so put 'Tower'...

"And the second explanation is that the three cards actually symbolize the members of the organization formed by the 'Fool', but they may just provide help, or they may not be noticed, so they did not show their whereabouts... um , maybe the codename of 'Joker' or 'Iron Man' in the case of Lanrus is 'Wheel of Fortune'."

After listening to his speculation, everyone nodded thoughtfully, thinking it made sense.

If it's really him, it's unlikely to be the "Wheel of Fortune", it's the "Sun"... Ms. Dai Li pursed her lips, and asked again: "How did the grand thief 'Dark Emperor' destroy the 'Flesh and Flesh'?" Abyss'? If we could know his methods, we might not have to worry about this ritual anymore.

"As you know, the effectiveness of this ritual depends entirely on whether the 'True Creator' responds, so even if it is not difficult to arrange, members of the Aurora Society can rarely complete it...but every time it is completed, it is a disaster!"

"There are no useful clues left at the scene, and it is impossible to 'backtrack' to find valuable information." Stuart shook his head first, then looked at Ikanser Bernard, the deacon of the Mechanical Heart, and asked, "Mechanical Heart should have brought '2-111'?"

Ikanser, whose brown hair was always messy, immediately understood what Stuart meant when he heard this. After a little thought, he took out a silver mirror with ancient patterns.

As Daly said, everyone present wanted to know the way of the Grand Thief "Dark Emperor", and the Heart of the Machine was no exception.

Seeing this mirror, the Punisher and the members of the Heart of the Machine all took a step back. Only Stuart looked at Ikanser unmoved and said, "Are you coming or am I?"

Ikanser glanced at Stuart in surprise, deeply admired his "courage", but felt that he had "tricked" the other party once, and it was too bad to do it again. Ikanser said in a deep voice, "Let me do it."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the silver mirror under the curious gazes of the Nighthawks and Hazel, the Punisher and the Machine Heart's pity gazes, stroked the surface with his right hand three times, and asked after taking a deep breath. :

"Dear Arrods, my question is, how was this altar destroyed?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding lights suddenly became deep, as if they were stained with the mist after the rain, and there was a strange flash of water on the surface of the silver mirror, which gathered a scene:

Wearing black armor and a black crown, the ghost waved his hands and arranged another ceremony around the altar, and then he used his body as a sacrifice to pray to an unknown existence... He disappeared quickly, but only a second later, the black The figure appeared again, and at this time, the altar of "Abyss of Flesh and Flesh" suddenly shattered.

Then, the screen changed, and the ghost in black armor passed through the floor, came to the hole in the roof that was struck by lightning, and bowed gracefully to the bottom.

Looking at the final picture, Stuart didn't know if it was his own illusion. He always felt that the "Dark Emperor" in the painting was more handsome and handsome than what he saw in real life...

Well, maybe it's because of the composition and angle... Stuart quickly found a reason, so he stopped worrying about it, and started thinking about the rituals used by the grand thieves in the picture.

After a while, he came up with some clues, and said excitedly: "So that's it... I understand, he used rituals to 'distort' the direction of the 'Abyss of Flesh and Flesh' and lead it to the 'Fool'. Only then did the ceremony successfully end..."

Hearing his explanation, a small number of people showed surprise on their faces, while most of them were still confused and didn't understand what he was talking about.

But before they could analyze it further, words that were bright red like blood were outlined on the surface of the silver mirror:

"What else is 'Fulgan's Dog' called?"

Huh? "2-111" actually asked a "serious" question? Is it in a good mood today, or is it "digging holes" again? A look of surprise appeared on Stuart's face, and he felt that Ikanser was lucky today.

But Ikanser himself didn't think so... because he didn't know the answer!

Naturally, his hair stood up stubbornly from the electric shock again.

...

In the southern continent, at the base of a valley near Port Aleser.

The "Saint of White" Katerina and her daughter "Vice Admiral of Disease" Tracy are about to sneak into a heavily guarded research institute.

Suddenly, Katerina gave a light "Hey" and stopped in her tracks, which made Tracy look over strangely.

"Test isn't here? He didn't personally guard the item...how is that possible?!

"Did he set off early? Or...here is just a bait?"
