Dunn opened St. Selena's urn, and Megoos, sensing the mortal threat, glared at Dunn and shouted:

"You're going to kill my child!"

"You must die!"

Bang! Dunn was tossed away by an invisible force and slammed into the opposite wall, cracking the wall and sending bricks flying. He felt an astonishing pain in his chest and back, and his mind was stagnant for a moment, blood spurting from his nose and the corners of his mouth, but his strong willpower allowed him to clutch St. Selena's urn and let the cold, black silk threads tighten Megoos's body, and bind her firmly in place.

Ten seconds later, Crane and Leonard burst out of the partition at the same time, one holding a warm, thin piece of gold, the other with the "vascular thief" wrapped around his left wrist and five fingers spread at Megoors. Megoos suddenly sensed the danger and opened his mouth wide, and at the same time, the five fingers of Leonard's left hand suddenly closed, and his wrist spun half a circle.

Megoos didn't make any sound - Leonard stole her profane abilities with the "vascular thief"!

Klein seized the opportunity to speak in a low voice, spitting out an Old Hermetian word: "Light!"

The thin gold flake spell in his hand suddenly became hot, and Klein poured most of the spirit into it without thinking, and the spell instantly burst out with dazzling golden light, as if it had turned into a sun in his hands! Then, he threw a spell at Megoos, who sensed the danger and struggled with it!

The reception hall instantly became transparent, and the darkness and gloom dissipated invisibly.

Klein and Leonard's pupils constricted.

The spell was fully released, and the power of the light and the sun in the sky shone brightly, but—the light was bounced away, and the spell was knocked out by something before it could fully explode, and it was released at Megoos's side, and instead of destroying the horrible matrix, it burned the threads that imprisoned her.

They turned their heads in disbelief, only to see Dunn silently raise his revolver behind them, a cloud of smoke wafting from the muzzle of his gun.

Dunn slammed into the wall, and his vision was blurred. It was as if a pair of hands were gently holding Dunn's shoulders and raising his arms to help him strike his gun in a position where the muzzle of the gun was pointed at Klein, who was powerless to resist under Mecous's fierce pursuit.

"Shoot." A voice whispered in his ear, tempting him with a heart-to-heart tenderness, "We agreed to kill them." ”

Yes, I'm going to kill Crane and Leonard because they prevented the God from descending from the True Creator. Dunn thought as a matter of course, aiming at Klein, who was struggling to dodge, the muzzle of the gun moving with the position of the head.

At this moment, a cold breath came from the urn of St. Selena in his hand, like a basin of cold water falling from the sky and pouring him completely, Dunn suddenly remembered, remembered everything. He was creepy, and his body was soaked in cold sweat for a moment. Nightmare's eyes widened with trembling hands, and a sealed memory suddenly appeared in his mind: that night he had strayed into the other's dream, obtained knowledge from the other's hands, and could not resist the establishment of a deal, and the content of the transaction was-

"From now on, you are my eyes and ears inside the Nightwatch." The demon said to him, "If anyone prevents God from descending, kill them." ”

"No ......"

"Kill them."

The gentle voice rang in my ears again. Due to the ruins and partitions, the two team members could not see through the walls, and naturally they could not notice that their captain was sweating profusely and distorted and aiming his gun at their temples and the back of their heads, and the fingers that pulled the trigger tightened in Dunn's frightened eyes, and his resistance was meaningless.

"Don't you think ......!!!"

"No, I absolutely ...... No, hurt my ...... Players!! ”

At this moment, Crane threw out the charm and shouted, "Light! ”

Bang!

As the light bloomed, Dunn noticed that the person who was controlling his body with words paused for a moment, and with all his strength he deflected the muzzle of the gun half a minute, and his finger completely pulled the trigger at this point. The spell was sent flying by bullets, and the sun-bright pillar of light did not hit the enemy. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he immediately withdrew his hand, aimed the muzzle of the gun at his temple in the puzzled eyes of the team, and pulled the trigger fiercely!

"Captain!"

"Captain, what are you doing?!"

He heard the nervous questions of his teammates, but his throat could no longer make a sound. There was no sharp pain in the temple, and the gun was dumbfounded! He wasn't dead, but it was suddenly dark and silent, and his hands grabbed Dunn's cheeks, forcing him to look up.

- He was facing a pair of pure black eyes.

"You went against our deal."

"Your soul belongs to me."

The demon whispered malicious words in his ear, grabbed Dunn's shoulders with both hands, and lifted it up gently—as if to help him straighten up his wrinkled clothes, but in fact completely ripped the whole spirit out of his body as if he were taking off a garment. Dunn suddenly felt his body become incomparably lighter, the deep darkness incomparably intimate, the corners of his mouth lingered a smile of relief, and his godless eyes closed. He slowly sank into a dark, sweet dream, an unseen force forming a glassy object around his spirit, enveloping him in it.

Luckily, I didn't...... Hurt my companions......

…… Leonard, Klein...... Leave...... Fast...... Run......

The glass bottle slipped into the darkness and landed lightly in the hands of one man. He looked at the new collection for two seconds and placed it on the table.

"Your resistance is pointless, there is no room for demonic deals."

Edward Vaughn said to himself, "Break the deal, and the soul will belong to me; Suicide is equivalent to giving up, and giving up is a violation; But even if you kill your companion to complete the deal, your actions and guilt against your will will will corrupt you, and your soul will still belong to me. - From the moment the deal is made, your soul is already mine. ”

"It's kind of a glorious soul...... However, at that moment just now, did the Eternal Sun glance here? ”

"That's the secret? Looks like I'm going to change my strategy......"

51

Dunn didn't pull the trigger, and it took him a few seconds to press the barrel of the gun to his temple before his distracted eyes finally regained their sparkle.

“…… I have been influenced by the Offspring of the Evil God. He gasped as blood dripped from the corner of his mouth and dripped into the urn, and Megoos, who had begun to struggle from his trance, was once again strangled.

"Is there still the spell just now? I'll get her under control, hurry up! ”

Klein hesitated for a moment, the captain's state really didn't look right, but in the face of the influence of the evil god's heir, it was indeed difficult for someone to be completely normal. There was no warning in his spiritual intuition, and the current critical situation did not allow him to hesitate, but fortunately, he had two Yang Yan Charms at hand. He subconsciously followed Dunn's solemn words, took out another Yang Flame Charm from his pocket, infused it with spirituality, and burst out the majestic Ancient Hermese language from the tip of his tongue, and raised his arm, which was about to be thrown towards Megaoos!

"Don't believe him!" The old voice came, "Run!" ”

"Crane!" The midnight poet suddenly burst into a roar, and he rushed up in three steps and two steps, knocking Klein who was about to throw the spell to the side, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground with inertia, and the two of them rolled together and slid out two or three meters. The soothsayer's foul words suddenly froze in his mouth, and he saw with his own eyes that all the thin lines on Megoos's body disappeared at the same time, and the ghostly speed swooped directly to their sides, narrowly grazing Leonard's toes. - It is conceivable that if Crane had stood there just now, he would have been dodged by the regained free Megoos, and then torn to pieces!

Megaoos's arm was torn with a sharp bone knife, and her fingers were completely mutated into claws that could tear people apart, and she landed where Crane had just stood, leaving scratches on the ground that were several centimeters deep! Crane instantly burst into the dead, and he didn't want to immediately throw out the Yang Flame Charm held in the palm of his hand, and the golden pillar of light finally burst out in the right place this time, enveloping Megaoos, who had not had time to transfer!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Crane and Leonard moved a few more steps out of the ground with their hands and feet. Megoos turned into a huge ball of fire and rolled frantically on the ground, letting out a terrible scream. The scorching wind and light swept across their faces, and the sudden rise in temperature dispelled some of the fear in their hearts.

"How do you know to push me away?"

"Intuition, intuition! My instincts were right! Leonard regained his balance and pulled Klein up as well. He had acted on all his passion and instinct just now, and now he was really afraid.

Leonard rubbed his arm, and as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he immediately heard the old voice ring in his head. The old man's voice was unprecedentedly serious, and he was stunned in place like a lightning strike: "Leave!" Stay away from Him—Far from Him! Pray to the goddess of the night! Prayer! Fast!! ”

Dunn let go of his hand, and St. Selena's urn rolled to the ground. The golden flames on Megoos's body gradually extinguished, and apart from its high bulging belly, it no longer had half of a human character. The resentment of the heir of the evil god who had been prevented from being born was undisguised against the two night watchmen present, and Crane and Leonard felt a chill down their spines at the same time, and they invariably chanted the goddess's name in their hearts.

"You're not mature yet, he's too anxious." "Dunn" toe with the urn on the ground, ignoring the two night watchmen present, he took in the bustling town outside through the gap in the wall, and nodded in satisfaction, "I'll help you." ”

Dunn raised a hand, palm up, clenched sharply.

——

It was a peaceful day, but from this moment on, the illusion of calm suddenly shattered. The reason for this may have been that the thieves fleeing from the street pulled out their guns in a panic, and the bullet entered the eye socket of a police officer, lifting off his hat and half of his skull, and splattering blood on the bodies of the gentlemen and ladies passing by. It could also be because a noble gentleman suddenly coughed violently at his banquet, spat out a large red blood clot, and then collapsed in it and died. His bodyguards stopped the guests in order to maintain order, and the falling chandeliers and gunshots from the streets ignited pent-up panic. Or maybe it was a sparse and ordinary group brawl down the street that finally went overboard, and the thug's dagger slashed the neck of a thin homeless man, and blood and fear erupted together.

Everything was ignited and induced to explode naturally.

Screams followed, fear and confusion were like a wandering plague, and people fled and cried aimlessly on the road. The police officers who maintained order were knocked down by gunfire and death, and their bodies lay in pools of blood in the streets, the horrific death adding to the panic and fear.

"Bang!" It seemed that the gas leaked somewhere and then exploded, and the bright yellow flames instantly rose from the corner of the lower street, and the simple shack made of dirty cloth connected together became the best path for the flames to spread, and within two minutes, the flames would engulf half a block, and then the wind would go all the way and envelop the entire lower street!

The coachman was thrown off the saddle by the frenzied horses, and the runaway horse and the carriage smashed straight into the wall.

The sound of screams, winds, cries, prayers, and burning fires engulfed the city, and it was full of people and bustle, like a grand tide. Half a circle of seconds ticked and half of Tingen was already in a state of blood and chaos, and people who wanted to live were returning to their homes and rushing to church, and crowding and stampedes had raised the death toll to another level.

Of course, the real reason may only be because two streets away, the "Angel of the Abyss" clapped his hands, and the half-spread dark world flashed away from the spirit world and merged with the ground of Tingen. The city was silently cut off from the real world, the sun was dimmed, and everyone walked unconsciously, on the black plains of the abyss. He watched it all, and then calmly recited a filthy word.

"Chaos"

52

At the center of the storm that decided the fate of Tingen, there was peace in the Nightwatchman's building, even to the point of dead silence. Crane maintained a backward dodge posture, seemingly still, but could actually see his lips and body moving at an extremely slow pace. The baby in Megoos's womb happily digests the negativity of the chaos, Leonard steps on a shadowed half-black and half-white clock, and the second hand seems to be welded to the dial, and the second is stretched to the limit.

In times of crisis, Pallis squeezed out what little strength he had left like a sponge, barely settling the heirs of Megoos and the undeveloped evil god who was focused on absorbing nutrients, and saved Leonard and Crane from the blade of death.

"You're not Amon, and there's still a living Worm of Time?" The demon turned his face and looked at Leonard with interest, "You are more valuable than Nightmare, I didn't think there was a hidden Sequence One in Tingen. ”

Leonard gritted his teeth.

The appearance of such a strange expression on Dunn's face deepened Leonard's fear, in this almost static world, something wearing the captain's skin approached step by step, and the deep gray eyes of the past were full of malicious joy: "You may need help, I can help you escape from Amon's tracking, and I can also help you catch some lonely Amon as a snack, you hate and fear him, right?" The gaze of the goddess of the night has not yet fallen, and the eternal sun has withdrawn its gaze, and remaining here will only be for the burial of the city and the gods who are about to be born. ”

"The Emperor you once pledged allegiance to was an ally of his, wasn't he? We can actually work together......"

What?! Leonard, who heard the secret knowledge, was terrified, and his fear and rejection of the mysterious person parasitic on him were instantly magnified to the extreme - isn't the imminent god the "real creator"?! The old man's allegiance was his allies, so isn't the old man the companion of "him" in front of him, the night watchman, or even the enemy of the Seven Gods?! Isn't that the culprit who led the wolf into the house, and all the struggles and efforts are just a good show in the eyes of the old man—Leonard suddenly felt remorseful, and reached for the pouch with one hand, and had the idea of self-judgment and atonement.

"Don't be cranky!" Parles let out a low roar. This sound was like thunder, interrupting Leonard's guilt and self-blame, "Use your brain! Didn't you realize that He deliberately told you this news?! He omitted the key part to provoke us and lead you to depravity, or He could have gone into more detail and would have blown your head off on the spot! ”

"You seem to know the demons well, and I'm starting to believe that we did work together." "Dunn" smiled.

"Who the hell are you?!" Leonard finally found a chance to speak, "What happened to the captain!" ”

"Dunn" looked at him and said in a mellow voice, "......"

Leonard didn't hear anything.

"Bastard, are you crazy, don't ask Him!" Exhausted, Pales stole Leonard's hearing, "Don't listen, don't look, as long as you get anything from Him, either voluntarily or voluntarily, He can make a "deal" with you, or even make a "contract"!! ”

"That's what you read about in a church school book about a Russell tragedy, where a little girl traded one of her candies for the lives of the whole city! Your captain must have accidentally gotten something from Him to pay the price for his soul! ”

Paying for the soul...... Leonard's face turned pale.

"I think it's a win-win-win deal, huh?" The demon smiled, "Isn't it great that my friend has won, I have completed part of the ritual and received candy, and that little girl has won the life of her enemy?" ”

At the end of this second, when Parles was powerless and death was imminent, Edward Vaughn suddenly had a strange feeling. He looked up and saw a hint of red mingling with the edge of the pale sun in the sky, and the red slowly devoured the temperatureless sun in the abyss, upward, inch by inch. The black sky suddenly appeared to be lit up with stars, and the stars spread from the corners of the sky, like a black curtain was lifted, and the place was covered with a layer of night sky.

"The goddess of the night who is nobler than the starry sky and older than eternity"

"You are the Mother of Secrets, Lord of Crimson"

"The Empress of Doom and Fear, the Lord of Silence and Sleep......

The power of tranquility descended from the sky, and Dunn's eyes moved away from Leonard to look at the soothsayer in the corner. He heard the soothsayer speak with difficulty, reciting the name of the goddess of the night over and over again at a normal pace in a slowed world.

My abyss has been invaded, He thought, after all, I am only an angel.

"I pray for your attention, I pray for your coming."

"The child of the evil god has been born, and I pray that you will save the city."

It's really here, it's really troublesome for people with secrets...... The Abyss Angel shook his head with a smile, and the crimson moonlight enveloped the entire city.

————————

Edward's plan change process:

Come and take a look, deal with the abnormality and leave→0-08 Here, take a look at the situation→ read the notes of Ins Zangwill, and found that there are still a lot of troubles in this small place, and I stayed →to control Dunn, thinking that it was foolproof→ but I saw the Yang Yan Charm → modify the plan, the original plan was to directly receive the blood sacrifice to the whole city in reality, and then promote the sequence of one → with the prototype of the kingdom of God to divide the reality, and plan to swallow Tingen in the abyss and then be promoted→ I didn't expect Klein to be able to recite the honorific name normally, and it really attracted the attention of the goddess of the night→ to be honest, After changing the plan for eight years, he didn't want to do it anymore. But it still has to be done.
