Secret: The Witch's House Traitor

"It was Beech Mountbatten, one of the police officers in charge of Iron Cross Street. He asked us if we had encountered a chubby-faced boy in his 18s or 19s. He was said to be a fugitive roaming around the port area and might have fled to Tingen."

Benson put down the newspaper in his hand and smiled at Klein.

"I haven't seen him, but for safety's sake, if you see him, you'd better stay away."

Klein warned Benson. He knew that Tris was an instigator of Sequence 8 and was undoubtedly very dangerous.

He didn't know why he slept very uneasily last night, always worried that someone would sneak into his house in the middle of the night and commit another murder.

"You should tell Melissa that."

"I heard that some time ago there was a strange guy wearing a mask who often performed acrobatics in front of their school..."

Benson put away the newspaper and gestured to Klein with a sigh, pointing to his rising hairline. He said that this was the most powerful proof of a man's maturity and reliability.

"Oh, really? I think he should be arrested directly by the police station for a disorderly person offense."

Klein frowned. He had heard what Melissa had said and decided to take some time to investigate.

Although the other party has not appeared for some time, it cannot clear him of suspicion.

Which craftsman would offer money voluntarily when performing on the street?

And it was a huge note like one pound!

If Melissa hadn't repeatedly assured him that she didn't know him, Klein would have suspected that this was some gangster who came out of nowhere and wanted to pursue his sister.

"It better not be, or I'll break your legs."

Klein murmured silently and headed to the Blackthorn Security Company on Zouteland Street.

"Good morning, Klein."

In the reception hall, Roxanne greeted Klein cheerfully.

"Good morning, Roxanne."

Klein held up his cane and greeted the girl with the same enthusiasm.

"By the way, the thing you've been thinking about will finally have a result today."

Luo Shan slapped her head as if she remembered something and said to Klein.

"what?"

Klein asked in confusion, could it be that he could finally become a regular employee?

Klein's smile grew even brighter as he thought of this. You know, the weekly salary for a formal night watchman is 4.5 pounds.

"You can find out when you go to the captain. This is confidential."

Roxanne winked at Klein playfully.

Although she didn't remember what happened last night, she still had a vague feeling in her subconscious that Klein should be very concerned about the Antigonus family notes.

"Mysterious."

Klein grumbled and returned to his civilian office to sort out some historical documents.

He knew that he couldn't be hasty on the eve of his promotion and had to leave a good impression of being reliable and solid to the captain.

As it was almost noon, Klein became increasingly absent-minded.

At this moment, the captain of the Nighthawks, Dunn Smith, came to Klein's office.

"team leader?"

When Klein saw Dunn, his eyes lit up and he stood up to greet him.

"Um?!"

Although Dunn was somewhat puzzled by Klein's excessive enthusiasm, he still lowered his voice and said:

"Klein, come with me to Chanis Gate. The Sealed Artifact '2-049' has been delivered to Tingen. It's time for us to look for the notebook."

"what?"

Klein looked at Dunn in confusion. Wasn't it a salary increase?

Chapter 14 Sealed Object 2-049

"Ah for what?"

"Follow up quickly!"

Dunn turned his head and gave Klein a strange look.

"No...nothing!"

Klein scratched his head awkwardly. He was naturally too embarrassed to say that he had misunderstood something at this time, so he could only put away his little thoughts and follow obediently.

Klein followed Dunn into the underground passage. When they passed an intersection, Dunn turned around and spoke to Klein seriously.

"Watch my next move and follow me. This involves your life safety."

Dunn's deep voice sounded, and Klein saw him bend his arms, then stretch them out, repeating the same movements.

Although Klein was puzzled, he still followed Dunn's example and began to stretch and retract his arms.

Dunn nodded with satisfaction and took Klein into the guard room outside Chanis's door.

"Could it be the effect of that seal?"

This idea suddenly flashed through Klein's mind.

Then his head suddenly became numb, and even his body, which had been stretching and retracting his arms, became increasingly stiff.

It wasn't until Dunn quickly came over and pushed him that he finally recovered.

Only then did Klein finally understand the danger of a Level 2 Sealed Object, and he felt a sense of fear for no reason.

He looked at the other three people in the room except Leonard, all of whom were colleagues who came from the Backlund Diocese.

Klein and his companions took a carriage and headed to the dock area with Sealed Artifact 2-049.

[2-049] The puppet of the Antigonus family is suspected to be a sealed object formed by the fusion of the extraordinary characteristics of the fortune-teller's path sequence five. It will become agitated when encountering things related to the descendants of the Antigonus family.

Extraordinary abilities can control 1~2 people, causing their thinking and movements to stagnate. If there is no outsider to push and interrupt this process, the controlled person will completely become a puppet.

More than ten meters behind the group of people from the Church of Night, Lin Nuo was tracking them at a leisurely pace with an astrological crystal ball.

He was extremely careful to keep a safe distance, and since he was an astrologer who dealt with witches all year round, no one in the Church of Evernight could find his trace.

The three members of the Church of Night quickly arrived at the door of a warehouse in the dock area.

They were attacked by a fortune teller at Sequence 7 outside the warehouse. Rookies like Klein were responsible for staying away from the battlefield to ensure the safety of Sealed Artifact 2-049.

Dunn, Al, and Lolota were responsible for stepping forward to join the battle, although they were all very experienced transcendents.

However, because the magician possesses many fancy and practical abilities such as fire jumping, air bombs, paper doll substitutes, and illusion creation, the two sides are in a stalemate for a while.

Nightmare Dunn, Midnight Poet Al, and Gravedigger Lorota did not stop the other party immediately, while Klein and the other two who were responsible for guarding Sealed Artifact 2-049 were on guard against other dangers.

Klein and his two companions deliberately injured the Joker's companion and let him enter an unknown warehouse to test the potential dangers therein.

When Dunn used the power of nightmare and the chanting of midnight poets to forcibly control the clown, Lorota raised the revolver in his hand and attacked the magician dressed as a clown.

Just as the bullet was about to hit the Joker, an extremely shrill scream suddenly came from the deepest part of the warehouse.

"what!"

The fear contained in that voice instantly awakened the clown who was immersed in his dream. Influenced by the sound, the bullet fired by Lorota only hit the Tuxedo Clown's stomach.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

At this time, "2-049", which was originally quietly sealed in the iron box, suddenly became violent, as if it sensed the existence of Antigonus' bloodline.

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Heavy breathing sounds came from the warehouse. Klein and the others had confirmed through divination that there was a huge danger in the warehouse, so they did not act rashly for a while.

Whoosh!

Broken arms, white bones, torn intestines, half a beating heart, intestines filled with yellow-brown objects...

All kinds of sanity-destroying human body parts were thrown out of the warehouse.

vomit~

Klein, who was experiencing this for the first time, almost couldn't help but vomit all his breakfast.

He forced himself to replace the empty shells with special demon-hunting bullets. Dunn stood in front of Klein and raised his pistol to fire a burst of shots into the warehouse.

Unfortunately, his bullet seemed to sink into the sea without any response.

Ho! Ho! Ho!

The huge gasping sound was getting closer and closer, and the gray color gradually enveloped the "open" door.

A humanoid creature over two meters tall walked out, with white broken bones protruding from under its skin and grayish-white rotten sticky liquid flowing all over its body.

"Is this...Riel Bieber?"

Klein's mouth twitched as he looked at the huge monster that appeared in front of him, and his heart began to beat uncontrollably.

"Extraordinary power out of control..."

Dunn saw through the whole thing at a glance. He said to the gravedigger Luo Luota beside him in a deep voice:

"It should also be a kind of undead. Can you find its weakness?"

"I try my best."

Lolota's pupils turned gray, and she was looking for the opponent's weaknesses from a spiritual perspective.

Leonard raised his pistol to provide covering fire, but the bullets were unable to penetrate the opponent's defense.

Leonard helplessly began to chant poetry with Al Hassan. Although his attention seemed to be focused on the out-of-control monster in front of him, judging from his slightly trembling ears and the sideways stance, he should have retained a considerable amount of attention in the direction behind him.

The power that makes people sleep permeated, and under the poems chanted by the midnight poet, the twisted gray-white monster was also affected to a certain extent, and its movements began to slow down.

Roar!

A scream that went straight to the heart came out of the gray monster's mouth, carrying a force that impacted the spirits and swept across the six Night Watchmen around it.

Klein was forced to exit his clairvoyance state, with blood oozing from the tip of his nose.

Leonard and Al fell backwards to the ground, blood oozing from their seven orifices.

Borgia, Dunn and Lorota each took two steps back, their faces extremely pale.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Just when the six Nighthawks were nearly killed instantly by a scream, Sealed Object 6-2 suddenly began to riot.

hum!

Klein, who was closest to Sealed Artifact 2-049, began to slow down. He glanced at the field and saw that Dunn and the others were either unconscious or struggling to resist the monsters' attacks. They had no time to lend a helping hand.

"No, I have to save myself."

Klein quickly made up his mind. The only thing that could help him now was the mysterious gray fog.

So, when the invisible Lin Nuo approached the battlefield, he saw Klein walking backwards counterclockwise in a slow and twisted manner.

Chapter 15: Master of Magic

Lin Nuo looked at his old classmate who was walking in reverse awkwardly and guessed something about Sealed Object 2-049.

He walked silently to the path that Klein had to take to retreat. At this time, Klein was affected by Sealed Artifact 2-049. Although he noticed the movement behind him, he couldn't even do the simplest action of turning his head.

boom!

Lin Nuo lightly chopped Klein's neck with his knife. He recovered from the sluggish state caused by the attack, but fell to the ground and fainted due to the huge force.

After Lin Nuo dealt with Klein, he also saw the black box not far away.

He first looked around the battlefield. Dunn and Lolota had eliminated the monster at the cost of being unconscious, and the other members of the Nighthawks were also unable to catch their breath.

"interesting!"

Lin Nuo's cheek hidden under the hood curled up slightly. He could tell that some people were really unconscious, while others were just pretending.

Whoosh!
