Chapter 619: The Attack of the Apostle of Desire
At night, in the Hilston district, outside the somewhat old house of Detective Eisinger Stanton, Abner, who had turned on the "psychological stealth", went straight to the door.
Speaking of which, after leaving the Mother Earth Church in the afternoon, Abner first went to Hugh and Furth's rented house to inform them that he had arrived in Beckland.
- Since the distance is not far, he does not use the "Fool" communication.
Hugh was not at home at the time, only Firth, who had just been dragged by Hugh for more than an hour to exercise, was lying on the sofa like a "salted fish".
Firth was startled to see the stranger in the room, and she was relieved until Abner revealed her true face.
Hugh did not return to his lodgings until late in the evening, and then the three of them had dinner together, and after a little chatting about their experiences, Abner left the house where the two ladies were renting, and according to his own psychological suggestion, hurried to the teacher's house on foot.
But as soon as he walked to the door of Detective Isinger's house, Abner sensed that something was wrong......
This sense is not that he himself is aware of anything, but that it comes from the "magic mirror" on his body!
The "Devil" in Sequence 4 is grazed in the "Magic Mirror", which allows the owner of the contract to share a certain degree of "danger sensing" ability.
And Abner, even if he is in a state of "psychological invisibility", is targeted by "malice" after getting close to the teacher's house, and this "malice" can really hurt him!
Is there a demigod or a powerful Sequence 5 in the teacher's house? Abner, who had forgotten all the plots related to the "Apostle of Desire", had just guessed in his mind that the door of the house would open by itself with a creak, as if inviting him to enter.
If it weren't for the fact that the teacher here was most likely in danger, if he hadn't received Lilith's "blessing" in the afternoon, Abner might not have dared to accept this "invitation" at this time, but at this moment, he was not too afraid of having the means to save his life and carrying at least three seals equivalent to "Level 1".
He took a deep breath, first opened the "Pure White Eye", and "analyzed" the whole house, and after more than ten seconds, he had a bottom in his heart, and while using his "mechanical mind", he walked into the half-open door, and strode towards the living room on the first floor.
During this time, several of the teacher's original servants, including Mr. Kenny, the male servant who knew Abner best, "exploded" in front of him without warning, and turned into broken corpses, as it had always been, it had always been in this state, only it had just been stitched together!
Maintaining a "mechanical mind", Abner ignored this, and walked straight to the door of the living room with a cold look in his eyes.
But just as he was about to push open the door of the living room and break some kind of "prohibition" on it, suddenly a thick black fog rose without warning, like a tide trying to swallow Abner!
This is the power of "darkness" that can force its way across the border between reality and nightmares, pulling people into terror.
Abner was all too familiar with such power, and he relied on the same means to enter the "Castle of Twilight", surrounded by nightmares.
I saw that his body was suddenly shrouded in a layer of "dusk" light, like a shield to resist the invasion of "darkness", no matter how much those black fogs washed away, they could not shake a single bit.
This is one of the secret techniques he obtained from the trait he used when he was promoted to "Mystic Master", the "Shield of Glory" with a hint of "Dusk" power!
Seeing that the black mist could not affect Abner, two demonic words full of filth and depravity sounded in succession:
"Slow!"
"Fall!"
But since he "analyzed" with the "Pure White Eye", Abner, who knew that the enemy was at least an "Apostle of Desire", had been prepared for these methods, and a badge pinned to his chest lit up with pure black light at the right time, and then he passed through the "depraved" area at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and pushed open the door of the living room.
In an instant, it seemed that some seal had been lifted, and a strong smell of blood came out, burrowing into Abner's nose.
Abner relied on the "Cursed Tudor Badge" to use the demigod-level "warp" ability, turning the effect of "slow" into "speed" and the scope of "depravity" into "pacification".
In the living room at this moment, an easy chair was lying upside down, stained with dark red blood, and a book was lying next to it, with the cover facing up.
The glass carrying the red wine shattered onto the floor tiles, scattering the glass ballasts all over the floor...... The mix of wine and blood makes the scene even more tragic.
As Abner looked at the broken glass thoughtfully, footsteps were heard outside the living room, and soon Isenger Stanton walked in with his injured shoulder.
The great detective did not enter the house, but stood at the door and thanked Abner:
"Thank you, friend, for your help...... Otherwise, I might fall into the hands of that demon. ”
Although Abner was removed from his "invisibility", he still maintained his disguised face, so Esinger did not recognize it.
Abner seemed to have expected it, and was not surprised, and only after he was sure that the enemy had left, and that the person in front of him was the real teacher, did he turn back to his face and whispered, "Teacher, it's me." ”
With that, he re-simulated the Faceling's abilities and changed them back.
"Abner, it's you......" Isinger breathed a sigh of relief, but then looked at his student again, his face a little complicated, "It's only been a few months, and you're actually so strong......
"The first time I saw you, I had a premonition that you would help me through the catastrophe in the future...... This is the time it should be!
"It seems that my decision to accept you as a 'student' couldn't have been more correct, and it is really the favor of the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom'!
"It's a pity, Kenny, they ......"
As he spoke, Isinger sighed helplessly.
With the danger of the situation just now, he could not save his servants at all.
"Don't talk about that...... Teacher, do you need to deal with your injuries? I can provide therapeutic abilities. Abner asked, gesturing to Detective Issinger's shoulder.
"It doesn't matter, I also have the ability to 'heal', the reason why I didn't treat the wound was because I wanted to paralyze the other party, and then ambush him and kill him." As he spoke, Isenger did not shy away from the blood in the room, walked to a table, lit his pipe, and took a breath.
Knowing that the teacher was using cigarettes to hide his sadness and regret, although he felt that his plan to fight back was a bit risky, Abner only sighed secretly and reminded him: "Teacher, there may be a demigod-level witch behind that 'Apostle of Desire'......"
A mere "apostle of desire" naturally does not bring "danger sensing" to Abner, and that secret witch is the source of danger!
This is also the reason why Abner did not try to catch the "Apostle of Desire", so as not to provoke the witch to attack.
Even if there is a "bone dragon", he doesn't want to fight to the death with a demigod-level witch...... Especially in the densely populated district of Hillston.
"It turned out to be a witch...... No wonder I tried to escape by jumping through the mirror and never succeeded, so I had to play hide and seek with the 'Apostle of Desire' in the world behind the many shards of glass......
"However, in this way, their purpose is worth playing...... There's a demigod witch here, so if you really want to kill me, there's no need to be so troublesome.
"Of course, it could also be that the witch was just invited by the other party to block my escape route, and she won't help the other party......"
After a few words to himself, Detective Isenger looked at Abner and said, "Can you escort me to the Lever Church of the Steam Church?" ”
