Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

"I don't think the people out there drinking the Siren Song think so. And the child laborers you bought didn't think so when they were alive either."

"Ha, what's that saying? Survival of the fittest. They couldn't survive anyway, right? Even if those addicts didn't drink the Siren Song, they'd still be committing crimes and wouldn't last long. I gave them drugs, and they've actually stabilized. Those child laborers can't contribute anything in their lifetime. They start working hard at the age of 14, and their remaining lifespan is less than two or three years. But they can create value after death. 20 gold pounds, they can't earn in two years of risking their lives!

"The Father of All Things has arranged a place for everyone. So I say, my Excellencies, this is the meaning of my existence. What do you think, my Excellencies, the Excellencies?"

Orlando watched Tia burst into laughter, his eyes once again transforming into two realms: black and white. This was the extraordinary ability of the Prophet's Path, Revelation Sequence 20, Er III, San Phosphorus Bar 29, which abstracted the entire world into a network of fateful threads. The black and white lines represented his connection to him.

On Tia's body, he saw a large number of black threads extending out, wrapping around her hands and feet. A thin thread like steel wire was wrapped around her neck three times, and a large net of black and white gray threads was stretched out, hanging above her head.

"Let me make a prophecy! Someone will shoot me. And the shooter will suffer the pain of a poisonous snake eating his heart!"

This is the extraordinary ability of the Prophet's Path Apocalypse Sequence 8. Orlando can weave the future through prophecy.

He must tell two prophecies of similar weight to others in person. At this time, the prophecies are both false. If he sacrifices gold of the same weight as the prophecy, then when the first prophecy is realized by human or non-human forces, the second prophecy will definitely come true.

——When the second prophecy comes true, it will trigger his extraordinary characteristics "Enemy and Friends Are of the Same Origin", "Skin of Pain", and "Soul of Steel" in a chain reaction.

The enemy and I share the same origin, which means you and your enemy will bear the same pain. The skin of pain can increase the pain you endure by 10 times to obtain the effect of a short-term, free ritual. Finally, the iron soul can temporarily and forcibly fix your soul strength and ignore the pain, so as to bear the pollution brought by a stronger ritual.

The prophet of Apocalypse Sequence 8?

Tia had learned about the extraordinary abilities of the Apocalypse Sequence from Bishop Marshall. She lightly pressed her finger on the trigger. As soon as she pulled the trigger, mithril bullets would pour out.

Scarlett stared at Orlando from a distance, her fingers gripping the shotgun drenched in sweat. She didn't quite understand the extraordinary power of the Prophet's Path, but the tense atmosphere clearly indicated that Tia's initiative was slipping.

Mithril bullets can weaken the effect of extraordinary rituals, but have little effect on extraordinary abilities. Orlando also knew this and laughed.

"Oh! You really think what I said makes sense! Look, you can't even bear to attack me!"

"You are quite right."

Tia pointed the gun downwards, switched off the safety, and said sincerely, "You are indeed right. The Father of All Creation has ranked everyone. Survival of the fittest is the law of nature."

As Scarlett's breath hitched, she anxiously tried to speak.

How can you give up at this time, Miss Tia!

At worst, she will face the enemy's extraordinary abilities, and you will take on the output!

——Crack!

The muzzle of the gun was raised and the safety was released. Orlando's face was suddenly filled with surprise, and then relief.

The world was split into black and white. The black thread of death that had just been unraveling around him suddenly tightened around him. And Tia was shone with light, and he couldn't even see the web of fate surrounding her!

The girl's skin, which was not covered by clothes and was exposed, was not only fair but also had a bright glow, like a strong light bursting out from her bone marrow!

Is this the cause of his death?

The cold wind at the end of October rushed in from the side door of the boiler room, making the girl's windbreaker rustle.

Only then did Orlando feel a chill on his back. A loud thunderclap sounded like a rolling wheel, rolling over the top of the factory warehouse.

Although still in the warehouse, Orlando looked ahead vaguely and could already imagine the gloomy sky and the heavy rain that was about to fall.

Tia bit her lip and said calmly, "You're right, survival of the fittest. I think the Father of All Things gave me this position just to help you survive."

Light in the blood!

Volume 1: Chapter 47 Yes, I am a dedicated person

When the light in his bones and blood shone through the web of fate, Orlando knew that he was doomed and felt relieved.

In the material world, fate comes before everything else. Currently, there's only one thing recognized as being able to break the shackles of fate: nightmares!

And nightmares are the power of Ouroboros!

Honestly, Orlando was a little desperate. Aren't you police officers? How did you end up in the Ouroboros's world?! Every single one of them is a fucking cult!

If he had known earlier that the person who came to him was a transcendent from the Ouroboros Path, he would have surrendered long ago - the nine paths are mutually reinforcing and counteracting, and Ouroboros is the prophet's natural enemy, just like the Unsheathed Blade is the king's natural enemy.

But you, a cultist, sneaked into the police station just to kill me, a cultist. What on earth are you trying to achieve?!

What the hell is this? Just die early and return to the embrace of the deep sea.

Click!

The black lines from all directions in the web of fate were approaching in an instant, and in front of her, Tia Sulph raised her gun and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

As a gang leader who had been dealing with the police for many years, he was very familiar with the power of this submachine gun. Bang, bang, the fire lit up, and a series of bullets pierced his chest.

Scarlett immediately switched to a pistol and fired accurately, adding several more bloody holes to Orlando's chest.

The huge impact force pressed on Orlando's chest, and he was immediately knocked back repeatedly. As the first prophecy "I will be shot" came true, the second prophecy also came soon.

At this moment, an illusory poisonous snake bit through the muscles in front of Tia's chest and was about to drill into her heart to poison her. But the next moment, a light flashed in front of her chest, and the holy light killed the ritual poisonous snake together. The chest that had just bled a little was restored to its original state.

——Apart from the clothes being slightly damaged, there is nothing serious.

The moment the venomous snake attacked Tia, the extraordinary characteristics of "enemy and me are of the same origin" and "skin of pain" were triggered, and Orlando immediately felt the pain coming from the enemy in his chest?

Thanks to the Holy Light that quickly healed the wound, there was no pain at all! It was like a little girl gently slapping my chest. Not to mention the pain, it even felt a little comfortable...

But the next moment, the Skin of Pain characteristic took effect, and the pain of the gunshot wound, which was magnified tenfold, suddenly came.

"hiss!"

The severe pain from the wound on his body was transmitted to Tia, causing her to frown slightly.

next second.

The light burst out from her body, directly crushing the pain coming from "the enemy and I are of the same origin", and burning the remaining image of the poisonous snake in Orlando's prophecy into ashes.

She glanced down at her chest. There was a hole in her clothes, but her skin was as smooth as before, without even a red mark.

Tia looked up at Orlando, her eyes full of amusement.

This extraordinary feature is actually quite interesting.

If a normal Sequence 9 came, this combo would probably kill him on the spot.

But it's a pity——

Now standing on the earth is: an expert in both archaeology and folklore, a leader in illegal pharmaceutical manufacturing, a master of church demolition, the most efficient debt collector in Newlon Port, a hired hunter of the Newlon Port Defense Bureau, and an honorary consultant to the Dagang Bay Area Police Department, Tia Surf!

The corners of Orlando's mouth twitched as if his soul had been sucked out of him.

That's a Sequence 6 ritual! It's definitely a Sequence 6!

He knew something about rituals. So-called transcendental rituals were also transcendental curses. Those familiar with them could determine the ritual's level through spiritual perception. Just now, the "holy light" that flashed from the black-haired girl before him—it was at least Sequence 6!

He was not surprised by his own death, and was even quite generous in giving his life away.

but--

A Transcendent who could use a Sequence 6 ritual would have to be at least Sequence 7. Disguised like this, they could sneak into the police station, go to great lengths to fight a local tyrant like him, and break into a warehouse worth hundreds of thousands of gold pounds. Was that even necessary...?

The bloody hole on his chest was still bleeding, but this guy hadn't fallen yet, relying on his "Soul of Steel" and "Skin of Pain" to hold on.

Tia narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Scarlett, aim at him, don't let him catch his breath."

Scarlett immediately aimed the shotgun in her hand at Orlando, her finger on the trigger, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead.

Tia was not in a hurry. She casually pointed the gun at Orlando's leg, bent down and smiled sweetly, "I just said that it's natural selection, only the fittest survive, right?"

"Orlando Duke, or should I call you Peter the Speedy?"

"Just call me Peter. At least Robin still has to go to college, right?" Orlando fell to the ground, leaned against the side of the cargo box and smiled calmly, "I knew this day would come. You're right, survival of the fittest."

Tia sincerely admired: "You are a true social Darwinist."

She never lacks respect for sincere people - including bad sincerity.

“Social Darwin?”

"That's what you mean."

"It doesn't matter. You're here to find the five thousand pounds, aren't you?"

"You seem quite self-aware."

"It's not self-knowledge." Orlando dug into his chest and took out his heart. Thanks to the properties of the Skin of Pain, he could still speak normally. He threw his heart on the ground. The gang leader pointed to his eyes and said, "I saw it."

"Revelation and oracle are two sides of the same coin. Priests always say they see the future doomsday, and so do the apocalypsers. I have seen my own doomsday, Your Excellency. Not all prophets have the power to change the future, but all prophets will calmly face their own death. I am no different."

Tia was too lazy to listen to the nonsense. Life is not like a game cutscene that can't be skipped. She said directly:

“So, where’s the money?”

"......." Orlando was speechless for a moment, trying hard to endure the severe pain in his chest. He felt that there was a bit of drama in this world.

The wooden boxes next to you are probably worth more than 5000 gold pounds each! Why are you still so obsessed with that little money?!

Tia noticed the gang leader's confusion and nodded, "Let's be honest. I just want the five thousand pounds. Hurry and give me the money!"

Mainly because, as a person who still has some humanity left from her previous life, Tia is more or less resistant to things like the Siren's Song.

Besides, selling stolen goods? Where would I sell them? And selling stolen goods like gold jewelry is not the same.

The gold and silver were simply melted, and their source was impossible to trace. But this was a unique illegal drug production, and it was sold in large quantities. Tia, who had been to the warehouse, was the prime suspect...

So people still have to be focused.

"Five thousand gold pounds? You're going to mess with me for five thousand gold pounds? Breaking into this warehouse worth hundreds of thousands of gold pounds? You really are... I...

"...Your Excellency, the Inspector, or a certain Bishop, it doesn't matter—that loser Suellen has no money at all. He threw all his gold pounds into the casino. He owes me more than he owes you."

Tia:......

Damn it, my money!

Trainee police officer Miss Scarlett shuddered, feeling as if Miss Tia was about to set the warehouse on fire...

Tia took a deep breath and heard Orlando laugh miserably, "Five minutes."

"What do you mean?"

"My extraordinary ability will disappear in five minutes. Ask whatever you want to ask now."

"You are too frank, Mr. Sinful Quick Hand."

"Ah! Thank you for the compliment. After all, I hid my identity well, so little Lawrence can't take revenge on me."

Tia asked, "First, what is your relationship with little Lawrence?"

"My employer hired me to manage this factory. I'm here to make the Siren Song for him and provide some necessary cover for the factory."

"Only you?"

"From what I know, the leaders of the Snake Gang have more or less taken money from Lawrence Jr.," Orlando said with emotion. "But they're no match for me. Except for those lunatics with nothing to worry about, their lives and fortunes are all in Lawrence Jr.'s hands."

"Another Black Fire Gang."

Lawrence Security, the Snake Party, and the Justice Gang were split off after the demise of the Black Fire Gang that originally controlled Newlon Harbor.

Tia nodded slightly and asked, "From what I know, many child laborers have gone missing, and they are related to the Snake Gang."

"Child labor? You're talking about the corpses, right? I paid for it, 20 pounds per body, but I'm not responsible for it. Young Lawrence is in charge of the whole thing, so I don't know the details. But the bodies shouldn't have been transported yet—the bishop's ship, the St. Komond, is still floating on the sea!"

“Did you write it down?”

"For the record, sir!"

Scarlett shuddered suddenly, holding the gun under her arm, and took notes on the wooden box.

Tia said with satisfaction: "Very good, I'll record it. The bishop you just mentioned is a cultist?"

"The Twin Serpents Cult."

"record."

"Yes, sir!"

Tia asked again: "Where is the bishop?"

Orlando smiled and said, "Lexius, sir, you should be able to see him soon."

Orlando chuckled a few times and felt a little regretful. The Sequence 6 Ouroboros cult transcendent disguised as a policeman ran into the Sequence 5 Earth Oak cult leader.

How exciting it would be if the fight started!

"Wait a minute?"

"He's almost there."
