Chapter 91: Escalation of the incident
280
About ten minutes ago, inside the carriage outside the Kragg Club.
Conseme Bernard, the impressive, shaggy-haired deacon of the mechanical heart in charge of the operation, visited again, and considering the danger and secrecy of the matter, Crane and he left the club and sat outside in the carriage to talk in detail.
Yin Kangse pressed the hat that was lifted by the shaggy hair, sat down, and lowered his voice: "The substitute has found Patrick Jason Beria. ”
"How did you find it?"
Crane was half surprised, half curious. According to the revelations he obtained from his divination, Jason Beria was always dressed in a human skin, and his true appearance and aura were not as determined, and it was almost impossible to find them so easily! Is it really the demon himself who has been found by the substitute punisher under human skin?
Hearing this, Yin Kangse roughly described what happened:
The Substitute found a clue, but this made the demon sense the danger in advance, and forcibly killed the two Substitutes before the siege could be closed, much to the anger of the Storm Church higher-up. The Bishop of the Cathedral of the Holy Winds, Ace Snake the Singer of the Gods, personally chases after him, and you should have seen a gale just now, which he caused. ”
"He is the archbishop of the Storm Church of Beckland, and one of the cardinals of the entire Storm Church."
It sounds normal, but it feels weird...... According to my guess and that of Mr. Isenger, it is very likely that another person put on the skin of "Patrick Jason" and gave the real Jason Beria the opportunity to secretly accomplish the real purpose...... Crane pondered and asked:
"Are you sure it's Jason Beria who was found?"
Yin Kangse's expression suddenly became solemn, and he replied in a rather strange tone: "I'll give it a try." ”
Yin Kangse took a breath and took out the ancient silver mirror with a strange pattern from the special pocket on the inside of his clothes, and the two members of the "Machine Heart" who were sitting farther away in the carriage also skillfully and consciously leaned over.
"Dear Arrodus, my question is, where Patrick Jason Beria is at the moment."
The surrounding light suddenly distorted, like the lights after the rain, and a scene quickly emerged in the silver mirror:
It was a river boat with sails raised, with high cheekbones, gray blue eyes, and neatly combed back hair. Beria pressed her cap, cocked up the collar of her coat, and hurried with the crowd to the port to board the ship, ready to walk up the boarding ladder of a passenger ship.
"He's going to run away from Beckland!" The Singer of the Gods 'seems to be heading to the docks...... a female member of the "Heart of the Machine" said suddenly.
It's too easy to expose, isn't it? Crane was full of doubts.
The magic mirror Arodus showed a freeze-frame picture, which would not move, and it was not as clear as his own divination on the gray fog. Crane looked at it with suspicion, and suddenly saw a somewhat familiar shadow on the edge of the crowded riverbank.
The shadow is an unrecognizable male, with brown hair and a dark coat. He stood at the railing of the riverbank, facing the river, as if he was watching the scenery on the river.
The moment he saw this figure, a person's name appeared in Crane's mind:
Sequence 2 of the Demon Path, Abyss Angel, Edward Vaughn!
His spiritual intuition told him that this was the right answer, and Crane couldn't settle down for a moment, and when he looked at it again, it seemed as if even Jason Beria in this freeze-frame picture seemed unnatural, wasn't he looking back? What was he looking back at? He should be racing against time to escape, and then find a place to remove his disguise, why is there still kung fu in a daze? Could it be that this is to see if there are any pursuers behind?
There were many reasons to turn back, and he could blame the wildness of his imagination for all of these thoughts, but Crane had slipped headlong into such a dead end, and a few big words slowly came to his mind, and he had never felt a chill so clearly.
"That's what the law of extraordinary property aggregation ......"
Even if the demon has the ability to sense crisis, it can't completely avoid this unconscious spiritual attraction!
By the time Crane came to his senses, Deacon Yin had finished Arrodus's bad taste question, and he was still sitting in his seat, his hair not standing on end, and it seemed that the answer was correct.
"It's a little too simple, could it be a demon's trick?"
Crane wanted to speak and stopped, stopped talking and desired, thought about it repeatedly, thought for a long time, and thought for a few seconds before organizing the language:
"I mean, we have to get rid of some of the judgments that we have, maybe we're looking for the 'Apostle of Desire,' not Jason Beria, and the two aren't necessarily exactly the same.
"That's one point I have to bring up as a detective."
281
The raven on Edward's shoulder vanished. And Amunla, who was wearing Patrick Jason's face, lowered his hat and ruffled his hairstyle, using the ability of the fraudster to reduce the presence of the two. In this way, they become something that everyone will subconsciously ignore, and the Singer of the Gods may not be able to detect him unless he attacks indiscriminately with a lightning storm.
He rummaged through his pockets and opened the suitcase, but he didn't find the "blessing of the Mother Tree of Desire."
"In this way, this 'Apostle of Desire' is not the one I met, and she is in a hurry to escape, and she may not be the one who is looking for me."
"I have made some new discoveries."
Amon dug into the memories of the woman of the Beria family and successfully found some useful information:
"Her name is ......"
Edward looked at him.
“…… It doesn't matter what it is, she's here for a special purpose, she doesn't remember much about you, and she really wasn't the 'bait' she used to attract you. ”
Amon tapped his temple with his fingers with great interest, and his expression and movements matched the face very well, Patrick Jason's face was relatively thin, and he looked rather cold when he wasn't smiling. And Amon subconsciously made this face smile but there was no slightest warmth, only inhuman curiosity, as if it was a disguise that existed purely for the sake of laughing.
Without Edward's inquiry, Amon replied himself:
"It's funny, they're here for the Abyss card."
“…… It's really interesting. Hearing this, Edward finally couldn't help but sneer, "This card was originally meant to be given to them, but it was robbed by that guy halfway, so it was out of my control from then on, and no one has chanted my name to open it for more than a hundred years." Now she is actually using it to tempt the Belial family to assassinate Negan, which is really calculating, and the hateful middleman has made all the difference. ”
Amon closed his eyes, was silent for another two seconds, and stole a memory again: "There is one more piece of news, but my spiritual intuition tells me that it is important and may attract the attention of your target. ”
"It doesn't matter, the person you parasitized is also from the Beria family, and I don't necessarily need his soul to make a occult connection."
Edward said, "What's the news? ”
"They got accurate information this morning, and the assassination target, Pallas Negan, decided to go to one of his mistresses in the early afternoon, near the Cathedral of the Holy Wind in the Jowood district, in a high-class villa with its own glass conservatory garden."
"By the way, the person who carried out the assassination mission was named Jason Beria. Memories clearly mention that he talked about you, and he is supposed to be the bait released by the Belials, the blessed demon. ”
It's afternoon today.
Amon looked up at the city's tallest clock tower, and Edward pulled his pocket watch out of his bosom and glanced at the hands on the dial.
The next moment, Patrick Jason suddenly turned into the sharp-looking Belial woman, and without any process, the human skin was directly stolen by Amon (Amon quickly put on the monocle he had just bought for his right eye), and then was burned clean by Edward's casual fire. Patrick Jason disappeared from the world in an instant.
Their figures twisted in place and then vanished completely, and at the same time entered the spirit realm to roam to the villa with the glass flower house in the intelligence, and the passers-by were unaware of it.
A few minutes after leaving, the wind howled.
Ace Snake, the "Singer of the Gods", looked down from the clouds and swept over everyone's faces, finding nothing.
…………
Hearing the messy gunshots and screams in the distance, and feeling that Duke Negan, who had detonated the "Seed of Desire" by himself, had completely lost his life, and the mission was successfully completed, the real Jason Beria couldn't help but be complacent, evoking a cruel and pleasant smile.
But this happy mood did not last long, in the process of fleeing the scene quickly, he suddenly felt a great crisis and fear, as if a whole sea of blood appeared in front of him, Jason even forgot to breathe, the sea of blood surging with extreme terror and killing intent, almost drowning him!
Not good!
It's a high-sequence powerhouse!
Why can a high-sequence powerhouse directly lock himself?! Where did the plan go wrong, had the woman been discovered?
No! Even if she is discovered, she shouldn't think of me anymore! There's no way they could have known that "Patrick Jason" was two people!
Under the hood of a deadly crisis, Jason's plans are disrupted. He stopped in disbelief and looked around. It was the edge of a garden where the vegetation had withered away from the winter, revealing a black-brown soil.
The "Apostle of Desire" suddenly had a silver flash in his eyes, and a full-body armor walked over from the other side of the garden.
The armor seemed to be unusually heavy, and every step caused him a great deal of psychological stress. It has a radial type on its body, with a large amount of blood stains of demonic beauty, and seeing this blood-stained silver armor, the "Apostle of Desire" has a feeling of not breathing, as if it has encountered the most terrible natural enemy!
Jason Beria was horrified, he mobilized all his spirituality to perceive the extraordinary in the armor, but the mud cow went into the sea, the armor cut off all distractions, as if it were empty inside! Seeing this, after a brief period of despair, Jason strangely calmed down, this is indeed a fatal crisis, but it seems that something is wrong...... If this armor alone may not have the possibility of escaping with a broken tail, then where did the premonition of certain death come from?
But he didn't have time to think, and the silver armor slowly raised his sword, and Jason Beria had to respond.
But in the face of a "Level 1" seal with the ability of the "Apostle of Desire" specially designed to deal with demons, he had no power to fight back at all. Brush, brush, brush, silver flashed, a few faces, his remaining nine fingers were broken at the same time, and the suitcase he was carrying slammed to the ground.
Jason Beria shrank suddenly, and seeing that he couldn't be defeated, he immediately used his unique "shadowing" ability to prepare for escape, turned around and ran. Countless silver rays suddenly burst out from his body, and the viscous black liquid covering his body fell like raindrops, and his whole body fell smoothly.
His limbs and entrails were sprinkled on the ground, and blood was splattered on the ground, like a blooming flower like the blood on his armor.
Leonard Mitchell, who was wearing that terrible armor, took two steps forward with difficulty, glanced at the broken corpses all over the ground, and raised his voice and said:
"He's not completely dead yet!"
282
The crows hovered in the air, and on the corner of a secluded street, a space suddenly distorted slightly, and Edward stepped out.
She looked around, and there was no one around.
Amon and she had just left the "Villa with Glass Flower House", where chaos was struck, and the Mechanical Heart, with the Steam Church logo, had taken over the villa and taken control of the scene. There were corpses everywhere, and there was a high-ranking corpse in it that was protected from the past, and just by looking at him, the demon could see a myriad of intricate and complex symbols of evil and occultism, and there was no doubt that it was Duke Pallas Negan.
He died, and his death would be one of the chips to shift the balance off, the turmoil in the world would intensify, the Duke was assassinated, and with the previous Intis spy incident, Rune was given two excuses to go to war at once.
Edward swept through, and soon saw human tissue scattered not far away, which should have just taken place in the encounter with Belial.
Severe injuries can affect crisis intuition and perception, and occult connections will allow this low-order demon to approach actively. At this point, there is no need to look for the other party's traces, just wait for the rabbit.
In order to hunt down the "Apostles of Desire", the three major churches have cordoned off many places for various reasons to search, and this small street happens to be one of them. The crow flying in the sky consciously gathered its wings and landed on a clothes pole near her, and suddenly, they looked to the left at the same time.
Or rather, looking at the ground on the left.
The Abyssal Angel made a move, swiping her finger through the air, and a burning blue-black flame appeared out of thin air, the stone floor slicing through the ground as if it had been unzipped open with a hidden zipper, the edges of which were slightly twisted by the hot lava that had been burned. Then she lifted her palm upward, and the artificial structure below creaked up, and the sewer floor instantly exceeded the ground.
The people below were also carried up.
The granite floor was torn apart, twisted pipes and walls exposed to air and sunlight, and a cloud of shadows wriggled like life, avoiding the crimson lava.
Space is defrauded, distance is stolen, shadows wander left and right, always lingering back in place.
However, the dark shadow that was supposed to be the main target suddenly lost all value in the eyes of the Abyss Angel, and instead of giving a single look, she still stared tightly in the other direction.
She said in a deep voice: "Manifest." ”
The words were not filthy, but they still carried an unquestionable spirituality, and the demon-contaminated area immediately obeyed her orders, allowing a hidden figure to appear in their eyes:
The pitch-black full-body armor and black crown outline a majestic figure.
Behind the figure, the weightless cloak swayed gently as he walked.
Not far away, the crow sensed the familiar aura and tilted his head curiously, and in the corner of the wall behind the crow, a figure hidden in the darkness gently straightened the monocle on his right eye.
Edward did not move, and the ghost of the "Black Emperor", whom he had seen once, seemed miraculously hostile, and as soon as he appeared, he immediately dodged back, trying to leave the demon-tainted area.
She asked in a low voice, "Crane?" ”
The ghost of the "Black Emperor" did not pause and disappeared in an instant.
Astonished. The demon heard a flash of emotion.
Although there is no physical body, this does not prevent the high-ranking demons from listening to all kinds of chaotic emotions.
Looks like I guessed right.
She then looked at Beria, who was no different from the dead, and she heard the almost crazy fear and despair in the other person's heart, as well as endless curses and prayers, and even some spineless begging for mercy. As soon as Edward's mind moved, all these extreme emotions were detonated in an instant, the black shadow froze suddenly, and then slowly dispersed, the breath of life disappeared in an instant, and the spirit was absorbed by her, leaving only a puddle of black liquid like sewage.
Then, a crumbling light red light gradually appeared in the "sewage" and floated into the air.
"Amon." She commanded succinctly.
A faint light flashed on the monocle of the figure in the shadows, and "fraud" and "grafting" were launched one after another, and with the help of the Abyss Angel, the hidden deceptive mentor successfully grafted the identity of "Jason Beria" onto Edward Vaughn's body temporarily, and the original shaky light of the spell suddenly became bright again.
The blinded object changes instantly.
From now on, the crisis instinct of the patriarch of the Belial family will be useless and unable to perceive the danger posed by "Edward Vaughn"!
The First Cause of All Worlds
Amon let out a breath and put his voice into the demon's ears:
"This is an angel-level shielding ability, and I can't deceive it with my person."
"With your help, I was able to succeed. But even then, the effect only lasts about two hours. ”
The Abyss Angel nodded slightly: "Enough, you did a good job." ”
"Thanks for the compliment, can I now start designing the gemstone jewelry I want?"
"Yes."
Edward took out a glass bottle from the cabinet and crushed it in his hand, faintly hearing a short woman's scream.
Gurgling blood flowed from between her fingers, extraordinary properties melted into her palms, and shards of glass vanished as points of spiritual light. After sacrificing a member of the Belial family, she immediately touched the ethereal occult connection.
One by one, complete and clear images and information came to her mind, and it was the location of the Berial family!
Don't worry, I'm going to kill you right now...... Edward was about to open the door and leave, when he suddenly raised his eyebrows and turned sideways slightly.
A blood-soaked sword wind whistled in front of her, blowing a few of her hairs.
She looked expressionlessly in the direction where the sword wind was flying, and saw a silver-white armor stained with blood holding a big sword high, with heavy steps, walking slowly.
TBC

Leonard meets Edward!
Old Love: Hehehehe, Beria, I'm going to kill your whole family.
Leonard: Do you want to leave if you don't hit me first?
