Chapter Fifty-Three: Huge Side Effects
Silent alleys, littered with animal carcasses and a shriveled corpse lying on the ground as if no one cared for garbage, until a cleaner in charge of cleaning noticed the scene and let out a piercing scream, the anomalies in the area were discovered by the police.
But soon, the police here were also ordered to retreat by the top brass and were taken over by some mysterious guys.
These were five or six clergy, all dressed in green robes, ostensibly missionaries affiliated with the Church of the Earth, but in fact an extraordinary squad of the Great Mother Church in the city of Edinburgh.
That's right, these people are all official members of the Transcendent Organization "Children" of the Great Mother God Cult.
Andrew Zelensky, the leader, is a sturdy man, although the green robe on his body is a little ill-fitting, but it can't hide the solemnity and tension in his eyes.
"Brittany, how's it going? Is there a result? ”
Andrew looked at the only soothsayer in his team, full of anticipation.
Brittany was a slender girl, she held a crystal ball in her hand, and rubbed her eyes on the crystal ball with her eyes closed as if she were caressing a baby, and it was not until a long time later that she opened her eyes and said: "There is an unknown force interfering with my divination, I can't see the face of the murderer, but what I know for sure is that this man's name is Dick, and he is an intelligence monger, a Sequence 8 gardener of the Messenger's path, but strangely ......"
"Strange?"
"Hmm." Brittany took a deep breath and looked at Andrew with a solemn look in his eyes, "His soul is gone." ”
......
After returning to the rental house, Sean quickly checked out, and then left the area without stopping.
He didn't know which church was in charge of the alley, but he was sure that it wouldn't be long before everything was discovered.
The only thing that is fortunate is that even if there are transcendents in the church who can find out the appearance of the murderer through some special means, they will see him wearing a mask or the appearance of becoming a blood clan, so there is no problem in terms of safety for the time being.
Still, to be on the safe side, he decided he had to get out of the somewhat chaotic West End as soon as possible.
However, he did not leave far, but went straight to the Roman neighborhood, and chose a small hotel that did not require identification.
The main problem exposed by the transcendent item "Black Poker" is a big problem that he must solve first at the moment.
Although he had heard the witch talk about the side effects of "black poker" early on, he did not expect that in addition to the mandatory cost of "one soul must be absorbed for every poker used", there would be a side effect that the user would be affected by the fused soul.
Judging from the memories of this bloodline named Chester, the other party is the sequence 6 bloodline baron of the bloodline path, which happens to be the next sequence of the stalker, and it is one level higher than the strength of Captain Oscar.
But the influence of the other party's indifference to human character is too great, he doesn't know if it's because his own sequence is too low, in short, after merging with the other party's soul, he obviously feels that the other party is affecting his every move all the time.
That's going to be hard!
The reason why he is willing to exchange the "Sword of the Magician" for this transcendent item is actually that the soul sealed in the fusion playing card can be turned into the ability of the other party, and if every fusion will be affected by the sealed soul, or even left and right, then this transcendent item is not a double-edged sword?
After thinking about it, he felt that since this transcendent item could be valued by so many people, it should never have such an exaggerated flaw, so he gritted his teeth and took out the number 6 playing card.
At that time, after his appearance was restored in the alley, he had no choice but to seal the man's soul with this playing card, otherwise, his intuition told him that if he did not force the other party, then Black Poker would forcibly seal his soul.
"That's it, just try again, if this time I'm not affected by the other party's soul, then it means that only the sequence higher than mine can affect me."
Sean finally made a decision, but now there was another problem in front of him, that is, if he tried again, he would have to prepare a soul again, in other words, he would have to kill a person to get ready.
"Damn, this transcendent item is too evil, does it mean that I will kill people as long as I use it in the future?"
Sean's face was ugly, and he was struggling with what to do, when suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.
"By the way, Temple of Order, if I remember correctly, the Temple has special shielding rules, if I bring black poker into the Temple after using it, will the Temple block its side effects?"
"Also, this bloodline can influence me outside, so what if it's in the temple? I am the current master of the temple, and I am higher than him to the heavens, will I be able to completely suppress him? ”
As soon as he thought of this, Sean was excited in his heart, so he didn't delay any longer, and directly entered the Temple of Order with a single thought.
Ever since he became the master of the Temple of Order, he had discovered this benefit, he no longer had to enter the urn by the same troublesome means as before, but as long as his mind moved, he could directly enter the temple.
Of course, there were some restrictions, and that was that he had tried to enter the urns of other members, but was forbidden by the rules of the temple.
This couldn't help but make him very angry, and he swore that when he became stronger, he would change the rules of this temple.
"Hmm...... No, this first experiment, I still have to be safe, or I'd better prepare an animal first, so that even if the temple can't shield its side effects, I can at least use the animal's soul instead, huh...... Anyway, it doesn't say that it has to be a human soul. ”
Sean thought about it, but he was still a little uneasy, so he left the temple again and went out to find some stray animals.
But it's a pity that this is a wealthy Roman neighborhood, and the level of security and management is very high, let alone stray cats or stray dogs, not even a homeless person can't see it.
In desperation, he could only give up this idea again and turn around and rush to the West District.
As a result, what made him nervous was that as he entered the West District, he clearly felt that the atmosphere here was abnormal, although ordinary people couldn't feel it at all, but as an extraordinary person, his perception was very keen, and he clearly felt the tension in the air.
Even, in just a moment's effort, he looked at several transcendent beings who radiated spiritual light.
"Looks like someone has found it there."
When Sean was nervous, the ghost sent him to the vicinity of the mysterious gathering's residence, only to find that it had collapsed, and the air was even filled with a strong smell of blood.
Some people died, but not completely......
