Seal '1-025', also known as the "Possessed Puppet", is an ugly puppet the size of a palm and dressed in Southern Continent-style clothing. It comes from a "Silent Disciple" who was killed in a colonial war. If most of its abilities have been sealed by the Templar, it can be used to a limited extent.

How to use: After unlocking the first of the nine bans, you can let it be attached to the auxiliary divination equipment, such as silver mirrors, tarot cards, gold coins, etc., and then use the equipment it is possessed for divination.

Note: After each "divination", it must be re-banned within three minutes, and it can only be used again after three days. If you use it more than ten times in a row, you should leave it underground for a year.

Remember not to let it see the moon during this time.

Thinking back to the report on the use of the seal in his hand, Captain Kuhn said solemnly to Evan, another member of the team who had already taken out various related supplies in front of him and was ready to perform divination, "I will unlock the first seal of '1-025' in a moment and let it possess it on the divination astrolabe. Remember, you only have 3 minutes. As soon as the three minutes were over, I had to re-ban it. Evan, old Rhett isn't here today, and we're up to you. ”

"Don't worry, Captain. Rhett told me exactly how to do it. Evan took a deep breath and said resolutely.

"Okay, then I'll break the first seal now." Captain Kuhn nodded, then turned back to the "Wind Favorer" behind him and said, "Robert, you are ready to support '2-063' at any time in case something unexpected happens. ”

"2-063" is the golden-framed round mirror that was originally used to cast the "Bright Flame" in the headquarters of the Daily Observer.

"Yes, Captain!" Robert, the "Wind Favorer," replied equally solemnly. He understood what the captain really meant: if something really happened, try to save Evan's life as much as possible.

As for the captain himself, he naturally had to seal "1-025" immediately, otherwise no one present would survive.

With that, Kuhn took his nerve and took off a badge of the Possessed Puppet's body, which was made up of Wind, Waves, and Thunder symbols.

Almost the moment the badge was removed, the puppet visibly changed, giving the impression that it was "alive".

Kuhn had already seen the changes in it, and was not surprised, and immediately placed the puppet's body on the prepared divination chart. Then, "1-025" gradually blends into the astrolabe as if it were a disembodied projection.

Evan picked up the pen and quickly drew the events related to the witch on the astrolabe according to the years, months, days, and time points that he had already mastered. Because of the integration of the seal, this process is like divine help.

Soon, elements of the astrolabe, including constellations, planets, and other elements, fell into the corresponding houses according to the clues......

But when I saw that I was about to finish the last part, I suddenly changed!

First, Evan, who was drawing, threw down his pen with a scream, and fell to the ground in pain with his head in his hands...... Then, "1-025" suddenly detached from the astrolabe, and the rest of the badges on its body collapsed one by one......

When only 3 of the 8 badges remained, the puppet's body suddenly grew to the height of a person, and its originally stiff puppet had a strange smile on its face. At the same time, an ominous aura permeated the entire Basilica of the Holy Winds.

Captain Kuhn was the first to come to his senses, and without any hesitation, he took a delicate box directly from his bosom.

Roughly tearing open the seal rune on the outside of the box, a pocket watch with a navy blue body and twelve black diamonds appeared in his hand, which was the "holy relic" of the church he had contracted - "Punctual Disaster".

"Click", Captain Kuhn pulled up the top button, turned the second hand back a scale, and pressed it again.

A second later, as the color of the black diamonds on the watch body became lighter, one after another silver-white electric snakes burst out, with a strong aura of tyrannical destruction that seemed to be substantial, and slashed densely around the puppet, trapping it firmly in the power grid.

As early as when the captain took out his pocket watch, Robert, who used a gold-framed mirror to inspire a "sun halo" to purify the possible evil in Evan's body, created a "strong wind" to roll Evan up and stay away from "1-025".

At this moment, the rapid spinning hurricane tore the ground overhead, and a figure flew from above.

It was an old man in a black floppy hat with unusually serious silver eyes, he was wearing a black robe embroidered with the symbol of the storm, it was none other than Cardinal of the Storm Church, Archbishop of the Diocese of Beckland, "Singer of God" Ace Snake.

The "Singer of the Gods" glanced at the scene and immediately understood what was happening. He raised his hand and added a series of terrifying hurricanes that were visible to the naked eye on the periphery of the thunder net that trapped the puppets, and then looked at Captain Kuhn, whose face was a little pale, and asked with a frown, "What's the matter?" ”

"Divination has been devoured...... The witch should have made sufficient preparations, and the nine bans that the Templar blessed '1-025' collapsed six of them. Captain Kuhn reported succinctly.

"Why was the ceremony not forcibly suspended. Cut off? Snake looked at Evan, who had been fed "holy water" by Robert, and asked solemnly.

The Storm Church has been using "1-025" for so long that it naturally has a contingency plan for similar accidents.

"The last time Old Rhett used dream divination, the spiritual consumption was too great, and he hasn't recovered yet...... Evan is inexperienced, so ......" Captain Kuhn didn't finish, but the meaning was already obvious.

"That's it, now is not the time to pursue it, we have to deal with '1-025' as soon as possible." The "Singer of the Gods" sighed, looked at Kuhn with unusually serious silver eyes, and continued, "The process of emergency sealing may be intense, and it is impossible for this puppet not to resist...... There are too many ordinary people in Joewood District, or the area in the city, and if something goes wrong, it will cause a lot of casualties! We'll have to take him to a sparsely populated area as soon as possible. ”

"Near Beckland, only the forests on the northwestern outskirts are not too populated, and most of the neighborhoods are hunting grounds or plantations for nobles and wealthy families." Kuhn said after a moment's thought.

"I immediately took '1-025' to the northwest suburbs, and you and your team members also followed, so as to prevent further accidents." The "Singer of the Gods" nodded, agreeing with Captain Kuhn's statement.

But he glanced at the members of the "substitute punisher" team present, and asked with some confusion: "Why are there only three of you?" What about the other members? ”

"Matthew was seriously injured in the raid on Sunday after Old Rhett divined the witch's whereabouts, and he is not quite well...... McConaughey led the men to guard the 'Grant clothing store', and although the company in the docklands was destroyed by the 'desolates', the Eternal Life Society still didn't seem to give up digging that store, maybe there really was something ...... Sara and the rest of the team investigate the recent disappearance in order to find the witch's whereabouts from other directions......"

There have been frequent incidents in recent times, and Captain Kuhn also feels that there is a serious shortage of manpower.

"Forget it, the low-rank guards can't help much...... You and Robert can come along. The Singer of the Gods frowned again, his experience had told him that something was wrong, but before he could think about it, the puppet surrounded by thunder and lightning and storm began to riot, and it opened its mouth, which had been stitched with gold thread, and was about to scream.

Seeing this, the "Singer of the Gods" opened his hair against the laws of nature, and then a bolt of lightning shot into the puppet's mouth, blocking the whistle that it was about to exit.

"Can't wait...... Let's go now! The "Singer of the Gods" raised his hand again, and a fierce air flow appeared out of thin air, and in a sharp circle, the uncontained tornado burst through the ground and some of the buildings above it, and swept the puppet into the air at the same time.

Captain Kuhn and Robert, the Wind-Bearer, glanced at each other, and after leaving Evan in the care of the church's clerical staff, they also quickly took to the air and chased after him.

……

Jowood District, inside a house near the Tasok River.

When the ominous aura on the "possessed puppet" broke through the seal, a figure in the originally empty room was quickly outlined.

Zatwin, the demigod of the "Rose School", quickly climbed to the roof, looked in the direction of the Holy Wind Cathedral, and laughed loudly: "Haha, the 'cursed thing' actually broke the seal? Hehe, with the official character, it will definitely not be resealed in the urban area...... So, the northwest suburbs?

"That witch should have some other conspiracy, but it's none of my business. If it's really easy to get, it's okay to help her once! ”

With that, his figure disappeared into the night again.

……

In the Intis Embassy, Rosago, who was drinking black tea, suddenly noticed the hurricane near the Cathedral of the Holy Wind, he stood up, surprise appeared in his eyes, and said to himself: "Is something really wrong with the substitute?" ”

……

In a villa in the northwest suburbs, the pain witch Rey picked up the unbloomed flower again, looked at the blood stains all over the ground behind her with a smile, touched the flower and said, "Have you eaten enough?" It's time to help me, too. ”

……

In the north-western suburbs, Abner arrived in a horse-drawn carriage at the estate of the Makht councillor.
