Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

The last time his soul was torn apart, it was still intact, but this time it was stitched together not long ago and even had some rejection reaction!

But fortunately, at least half of my soul was returned.

Lexus suppressed the pain and looked at his reflection in the mirror in the jar. He stretched out his hand tremblingly, and was about to hook the reflection's head with his five fingers.

But at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Bishop, Your Excellency, are you in there?"

The believer's voice was a little trembling, and the rhythm of his fingers knocking on the door was a little unstable. Originally it should have been three short knocks and four long knocks, but now he knocked three short knocks in a halting manner.

Lexus was extremely annoyed and cursed, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly!"

"Your Majesty...the Church, the Church."

"What happened to the church?!"

Lexus had barely finished speaking when, with a resounding thud, the heavy iron door was smashed down by two hydraulic hammers. The steam engine hummed, its silver-white armor plates gleaming in the sunlight. With a few clicks, the bolter was loaded.

"Open the door! Knights of the Church!"

Volume 1: Chapter 94 The Dust Settles

"How's Annie?"

In the police station, Tia looked at the little blonde girl lying on the sofa and asked Isabella.

Isabella diagnosed, "There's no danger to their life. They're just diving deep and haven't surfaced yet. It's probably because their spirit is closer to Ouroboros, so they're surfacing more slowly."

"Getting close to the Ouroboros? Can humans get close to the Ouroboros?"

"That's not necessarily true. In ancient times, there were cases of people artificially creating spiritual beings. They performed rituals on infants, causing them to spend a long time in the deep sea from birth. When they grew up, they would have the characteristics of spiritual beings, and some could even be completely comparable to spiritual beings."

Isabella added, "But Anne isn't one of those. Perhaps one of her ancestors married one of these 'transformed spirits,' and the Ouroboros' influence has been passed down through her bloodline."

“No reproductive isolation?!”

Tia was shocked. All the spiritual creatures she had seen were strange in shape. How could she eat them?

The nun was somewhat helpless. "These spirit creatures transformed from humans generally have more human characteristics... In fact, in ancient times, there were even special training and transformation of spirits for the aristocracy. After all, those little creatures with fox and cat ears, long tails, and such pitiful appearances do look adorable."

Tia remembered the two elves still in her temple.

Those two elves looked very much like spirit creatures, yet they also possessed a touch of human nature. She had initially suspected they might be apostles who had stumbled into the sea, but now she thought they were probably these "transformed spirits."

That's okay.

That is indeed beautiful...

Unfortunately, this transformation of spirits can only be started from childhood, otherwise she would have to give herself ears and a tail.

A pure natural tail! It's long and slender, and can be curled, swept, whipped, and hit. It's even more pleasant when it's furry. You can sleep directly on your own tail, and the hair can even reach into your ears to tickle them. It's so cool.

Before Annie woke up, the wooden cross in Tia's shirt pocket suddenly became extremely hot, burning Tia's chest.

This was the signal for Si Yimingni's father to start hissing at Liu Jiali.

Scarlett used the ritual of [Shared Perception].

............................

In the nightmare, a group of priests quickly climbed the stairs, looking for thirteen paintings hidden in the building.

Gilliman Lawrence didn't know where he got this extraordinary set of paintings called "Marionette Theatre". This set of paintings constructed a nightmare anchor that overlapped with the real Lawrence Building. The police officers sank directly into the nightmare when they stepped in.

In the nightmare, their cognition was confused by the "Marionette Theater". They thought they had conducted an investigation and then left happily with the results.

The price for using the Marionette Theater was that Gilliman Lawrence could never leave the Lawrence Building. If the Lawrence Building collapsed, he would die with it. Furthermore, he could not actively end the Marionette Theater in any way.

This has become his most troublesome problem at the moment.

Because of the enormous limitations of the Marionette Theater, his original plan was to lure the Suppression Bureau to the building, have Vanessa and her Sequence 7s bring an end to the Marionette Theater, and then escape.

Even facing Sequence 7, he still has the means to escape.

But the worst situation happened. The energy that Tia Sulf could mobilize was far beyond his imagination. The Knights of the Church actually came and surrounded the building, leaving him unable to move forward or backward.

Griman couldn't help but sigh and could only choose to take a gamble.

The time to reflect individual value has finally arrived.

The top floor of the Reality Building.

Grimman freed Scarlett from her nightmare alone. Playing with a saber, he negotiated, "Withdraw your people, and I'll spare your life. You'll pledge complete loyalty to the Suppression Bureau and Her Majesty the Queen. All of Lawrence Security's assets, both overt and covert, will be handed over to Silver Castle for control."

Scarlett immediately held the pistol, her shoulders tense, and stared at Gerryman. "I will only obey orders from my superiors. Mr. Lawrence, you can go to the police station to negotiate with my superiors."

"Little girl, are you from the King's Path?" Griman climbed up from the recliner, drew his saber, and slashed it across his fingertips. He licked his dry lips and said, "You have to know that sometimes sticking to the rules doesn't make a good king. Scarlett, right? You're already Sequence 9 at such a young age, and you have a promising future. How can you succeed in a place like Newlon Harbor? Isn't that just a place where a hero's talents are wasted?"

"Now let's both take a step back. You take your men and leave. Give me three days while I apologize to Silver Castle. You solved the problem without any effort. What a great achievement! Why would you risk your life for those two guys from the Anti-Suppression Bureau?

"I'll put in a few good words for Her Majesty the Queen then. Even if I die for my unforgivable crimes, Her Majesty will still have the impression that you're brave and resourceful. Then go to the Grand Police Department in Silver Castle. There's a wide world and great opportunities for you to contribute. Isn't that much better than the life and death you faced in Nuremberg?"

Scarlett was indeed tempted, especially since her family was still in Silver Castle, but the official police officer was very clear-headed and immediately asked, "Impossible, Mr. Lawrence! Are you really going to hand over all of Lawrence Security's assets?"

"If you give it all away, your value will be completely gone. You will still face the problem of death. If you can be so generous as to disregard life and death, why do you choose to endure humiliation and survive just to survive for a while?

"If I agree to your request, will that really impress Her Majesty the Queen? Anzu is a country of order, and disobeying orders is the greatest mistake. Will this really benefit my future and my promotion?

"You want to use my life to threaten the priests who are full of morality and conscience. And I want to use your life to pave my own way. Mr. Lawrence, there is nothing more to talk about between us!"

--Snapped!

The saber came towards her at a speed that Scarlett could not understand at all. Scarlett hurriedly retreated, and the saber just happened to knock her pistol down.

Scarlett quickly drew the police knife from her waist. Her sword skills were far better than her shooting skills. She reacted quickly, moved back one step behind Lawrence, and caught Lawrence's blade with one knife.

Lawrence's strength was not much stronger than hers, and the two of them clashed with their blades and quickly separated.

Lawrence said calmly, "You have the strength, but the skills are far from enough. Officer Scarlett, learn a few more tricks!"

As soon as they separated, Lawrence took advantage of the time to change steps and slashed at Scarlett with a knife. Scarlett's reaction was half a beat slower than Lawrence's. She felt a pain in her hand and a deep gash appeared on the back of her hand.

Then came the back and thighs, retreating step by step, making it difficult to resist.

Scarlett just felt that the situation was extremely difficult, even more difficult than the gangsters she met in the promotion ceremony!

It was really bad luck that she met Lawrence in her nightmare, and now she is facing Lawrence in reality.

But unfortunately, no one can come to help now!

Lawrence's voice was steady and calm. "You're fighting a life-and-death duel with me, and yet your mind is wandering? Your determination is resolute, but your abilities are completely inadequate to sustain it!"

"Why don't you think about my proposal again? At least it can give you a way out."

A knife stabbed Scarlett, forcing her behind the table. The two of them confronted each other with knives raised around the table.

Scarlett groaned inwardly; she was completely at a disadvantage. At that moment, she suddenly remembered the cross Tia had given her, inscribed with "Shared Perception."

I have no idea what’s going on with Tia right now, and whether she can come over to support and help.

Just thinking of giving it a try, Scarlett took advantage of the brief confrontation to tear the necklace apart.

The ritual of shared perception begins instantly.

Scarlett has lost all of her five senses, which is quite dangerous, especially in a duel like this.

Everything went dark before her eyes, and Scarlett gained Tia's five senses. Tia was in the office of the chief of the Newlon Police Department.

Tia took away Scarlett's five senses, and her consciousness came quickly.

Tia was a seasoned veteran, so she knew what was going on at first glance. Shared perception allowed her to experience both her own body and Scarlett's at the same time, just like playing a two-player game.

But it's more advanced than that, more accurately, a mirror image. Because Scarlett only shares Tia's five senses, when Tia makes a movement and the feedback is fed back to Scarlett's brain, Scarlett's body, having lost control of her five senses, will perform similar movements as a conditioned reflex.

Lawrence glanced at the necklace thrown on the table, recognized it, and asked in surprise, "Shared perception?"

"You guessed right." Scarlett spoke in a tone that only Tia could use.

Lawrence laughed suddenly. "Let me guess, who's behind you? First of all, it can't be Roman and Elson. The influence of shared perception doesn't reach that far."

"And that Vanessa?"

In his impression, Vanessa was a Sequence 7, and also a member of the Unsheathed Blade Path, known for her skill in fighting.

If it was Vanessa who came, he would really think twice and deal with it carefully.

Scarlett had a hint of sarcasm on her face.

Lawrence was stunned.

If it's not these people, then who else could it be? It can't be from the church, right?

"A knight protecting the church?"

"Alas, no, sir, you are all wrong."

Scarlett sneered, "I'm the one you're looking for, Tia Sulph. How come you've been looking for me for so long, but now that I'm right in front of you, you don't recognize me?"

Lawrence's eyes suddenly flashed with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Tia Sulph!"

"A man-made thing that has been teasing me for so long!"

clank!

When the sword came up, Tia could only barely cope with it. Her expertise was completely opposite to Scarlett's, and she was not good at swordsmanship at all.

But that doesn't matter.

She wasn't here to fight hand-to-hand. She wasn't the type to engage in close combat!

If you can move people, move them. If you can't move people, use blasting. If you can't blast, use shooting. If that doesn't work, use dump trucks and dump boats. If that doesn't work, use poison. If that doesn't work, use traps. If that doesn't work, use weak points. Finally, only consider hand-to-hand combat.

What era is it still playing close combat?

Lawrence could see that Tia wasn't very skilled with the saber and taunted her, "With your skill level, you're showing off? What's the matter? Did the Twin Serpents fail to capture you, so you came to me to die?"

Tia asked, "Are you finally admitting your connection to the Twin Snake Cult?"

"What else?" Lawrence spat on the ground and grinned, "I only regret not having Lexus kill you sooner."

"That's hard to say. I'm afraid Lexus himself might not be able to protect himself."

"Why, who did he mess with again? Did the Order mess with the Hand of Transmutation and the Alchemy Society? I remember they still haven't paid their debts."

On both sides of the round table, two people were confronting each other with knives. Tia was not very good at using the military knife, but she walked leisurely.

Lawrence was a little afraid and didn't dare to act rashly. While talking, he was looking for Tia's biggest flaw.

Tia said: "That's not the case."

"Who's that? Roman and the Church? Yeah, Roman's in Blackwater Harbor. He's tough, tougher than you are. I fought him back in Silver Keep. He was just a kid then."

Tia asked curiously, "Have you ever dealt with Roman? Roman has quite a wide network of contacts!"

Lawrence said, "That was a long time ago. That brat came to inspect my pharmaceutical factory and insisted that illegal additives were added. Damn it, who doesn't add additives when making something these days? I was already conscientious enough not to put green vitriol in the potion and sell it as wine, and yet he came to find fault with me."

"Wow, illegal pharmaceutical production."

"That's not all. Do you know how the fire during the Great Plague of Newlon Harbor spread to the North Harbor District, which is quite far away from the cargo port?"

"tell me the story?"

Lawrence raised his knife and laughed uncontrollably, "Haha! Beigang District wasn't affected at all! I took advantage of the chaos and led my men to find the factory of a businessman I'd always had a grudge against, and blew it up! That's why Beigang District was also on fire!"

"That's a shame."

Lawrence asked, "What's the pity?"

Tia slashed her knife in mid-air, then walked around the table, confronting Lawrence. Suddenly, she stopped laughing and said, "It's a pity that Roman didn't have the chance to kill you, the beast."

Lawrence was startled and felt a cold sensation on his neck.

It wasn't the feeling of the wind blowing or anything.

It's steel, blades, and the coolness of the deep sea.

Lawrence, who has been with the Marionette Theatre for many years, has a keen sense of the deep sea.

The two elves, Brenna and Freya, held their double-edged swords sheepishly, one on each side, the other pressing the blades against Lawrence's neck. They said, "We've betrayed you!"

"Twin snakes!"

Lawrence never expected that these two elves would turn against him!

These two elves are practically becoming true spiritual beings! What's the point of them defecting to the Suppression Bureau?!
