Chapter 137: Instead of Surrendering, the Enemy Dared to Shoot Back!
Hillston, Seventh Avenue, home to Yin Slant.
At this moment, although it was already dinner time, there was only one ordinary candle lit in the room. The candle was placed in the center of the coffee table, slightly flickering the dim fireworks and dispelling the darkness in the living room.
Yin Silant was not surprised by this, she knew that this was one of the abilities of a psychiatrist, and it was originally intended for Miss Audrey. But now, all of this has lost its meaning—at least to her.
"She refused?"
Sitting on the sofa next to the coffee table, Hilbert, who had a brown complexion and a bit of Southern Continent blood, frowned and asked.
"Yes."
Yin Silan nodded, described the situation at that time, and said a little helplessly, "I can feel that Miss Audrey is very eager to join this 'psychological seminar,'. But under pressure from that Viscount Blake and her brother Lord Hibbert, she had to give up."
Hilbert rubbed his temples and sighed:
"These aristocratic little girls are like this, they are easily influenced by the outside world, and it is difficult for them to insist on their own judgment. But that's okay, we're not in a hurry. At least Miss Audrey still insists that you be her psychology tutor, and you go to her lessons as usual. Well, you can try to subtly change her perception."
"Our lovely Miss Audrey is almost an adult, isn't she? Little girls at this age will be a little rebellious, and the more she is not allowed to do it, the more she wants to do it. The more Viscount Blake and Lord Hibbert stopped, the more she would be interested in the seminar."
"No problem."
The corners of Miss Yinslant's mouth rose slightly with a petite figure and a cute baby face, and she smiled and said, "I will help Miss Audrey to break through these worldly shackles, and the daughter of the Earl's family should have enough character, right?"
Either way, at least let Miss Audrey break up with that coarse Viscount Blake! Yin Silant thought to himself.
"That's right."
Yin Sirant looked at Hilbert with some pride, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "I feel that my potion has been completely digested, and I want to apply for promotion to Sequence 7 psychiatrist."
Yin Sirant's expression was extremely proud, and there was a faint sense of showing off. However, unlike what she imagined, Hilbert was not relieved by her promotion, but showed a look of surprise and consternation:
"So fast?"
Yin Silan was stunned for a moment, and didn't seem to realize that something was wrong:
"What's so fast?"
"I'm sorry."
Hilbert sighed softly and picked the wick to brighten the light.
Yin Silan just wanted to ask what was going on, but her spirit suddenly burst into a trance, and she was hypnotized, again.
Mr. Stephen Hampston, who looked like he was in his thirties in a gray tuxedo, walked up behind Hilbert, gently wrapped his arms around his neck, and exhaled into Hilbert's ear:
"This woman's talent is really good, it's only been a few months and I've actually digested it again, otherwise how about letting her be promoted?"
"Dear Stephen." ….
Hilbert smiled bitterly and sighed, "You know I can't, she is likely to break through the shackles of psychological suggestion when she is promoted to psychiatrist, and that will be a devastating blow to her!"
"Just her?"
Stephen chuckled, "It's the same for us, if she knew that you deliberately let her be *** by Master Herwin, and let her pick up guests every time, and brutally erase her memories after serving those noble lords, what do you think she would think?" What a poor woman, once she recovers those unbearable memories, I'm afraid she'll go crazy directly, right?"
Hilbert's expression sank, and he said calmly:
"It's a necessary sacrifice."
……
Hugh put on a set of twilight, which is said to have anti-divination ability, came to the living room, touched the three rings on his right hand, and said solemnly:
"I'm ready!"
"Okay."
Yu Duan bowed slightly, reached out and firmly grasped Hugh's arm, and raised his right hand at the same time, wearing a ring on the index finger of his right hand, and the ring was also inlaid with a crystal that was so transparent that it was almost unreal. Yu Duan looked at the ring and whispered in the ancient Hermetic language:
"The door."
The ring instantly bloomed with an illusory light blue light, and the figures of the two of them also became invisible. And at the same time, they entered the mysterious spirit realm. In that strange world above reality, they saw things that were indescribable, even so transparent that they didn't seem to exist, and saw one after another different colors and a clear light that contained endless knowledge, as if to indulge in it.
Instead of lingering on the light that seemed to contain endless knowledge, Yu Duan took a step in a certain direction. In just a few breaths, they had come out of the transparent and illusory state, back to reality, back to Bakeland.
However, they were not in Hilston at the moment, but on the side of the outer wall of a luxury villa in Queens. It was already evening, and the gas street lamps were already about to be lit one after another, emitting a hazy halo in the goose feather snow falling from the sky.
Sensing the arrival of the two, the white jellyfish floated down from the sky and landed beside the two. Because she had been here for so long, her umbrella hat had been covered with a thick layer of snow.
Hugh gently hugged the little jellyfish, swept the snow off her umbrella cap, and said softly:
"Thank you, Curalis."
"Whoa~"
Curaris shook her body slightly, her tentacles fluttering in the air, as if she was very happy.
Yu Duan shook his head, and took the lead in using the ability to 'open the door, passing through the wall. Hugh didn't waste time, and when Manno's travel notes turned to the page that recorded 'Open the door, the ability, turned into an illusion and pierced the wall.
And when they penetrated the wall, they were greeted by a carriage parked in the courtyard. On the carriage, there is a distinct coat of arms, the main body is a flower and two rings, and this is really the noble family coat of arms of the Viscount of Stafford !
"This is it, now all you need to do is find out which room he's in!"
Hugh stared at the door of the villa where the lights came out not far away, and his mood became irrepressibly excited. The mystery that has plagued her and her family for years because of the destruction of her family may be completely solved today! ….
And the only thing holding them back now is that the Viscount of Stafford has a large villa. There are at least dozens of rooms visually, which means it can be a hassle to find a target, but fortunately they don't have to go from room to room.
"Curaris."
Yu Duan thought for a moment and asked, "Which room is the target?"
"Whoa~"
Flying over the wall, Curalis stretched out a tentacle and pointed to a room by the window on the third floor. Then, without waiting for Yu Wan's command, he floated directly over, stopping at the window that emitted light to point out the direction for Yu Duan and the two of them.
Yu Jian jumped to the height of the wall on the third floor, and used the ability to open the door to pass through the wall. Hugh's movements were a little slower, but he only reached the height of the third floor with the help of a few kicks on the wall, and also entered the house with the help of his travel notes.
The icy air was blocked from the windows and walls, and it was freezing outside, and the sky was covered with goose feathers and snow. Inside the house, however, it was as warm as spring, and charcoal was burning in the elegant fireplace, spreading warmth throughout the room through the official road.
At this time, a middle-aged gentleman was sitting comfortably at his desk. In the warm fireplace, holding a dark black round-bellied absorbent pen, I unfolded the letter and I didn't know what to write.
He didn't wear the white wig and hood that he usually wears when he went out, revealing a high hairline and rather messy black hair. But Hugh could still recognize at a glance that this was Viscount Stafford !
It's just that, under the influence of the Sleeping Dragon Emblem Ring and the Phantom Limb Ring, he didn't notice that anyone had sneaked into his study at all. But this was only temporary—although the study was large, it was not large enough for him sitting at the desk to be five meters away from Yu Wan.
Although Viscount Stafford failed to detect the rest of the infiltration,
But the glow of the two gas lamps on the wall intertwine to give the impression of daylight. And in this light like day, two shadows that suddenly appeared to block part of the light, instantly made Viscount Stafford Tong Kong, who was writing a letter leisurely and comfortably, shrink!
But he did not act rashly, nor did he react excessively, but whispered to himself very calmly:
"Ah, what a nostalgic thing, this is something she gave me......
Viscount Sterford said as he pulled open the drawer and reached inside, taking out an item from it. Hugh used the "Interrogator" potion to improve his eyesight, and he could clearly see what the object looked like:
It is a bronze stained cross ornament with several spikes protruding from it, as if it had once penetrated someone. Its style and characteristics are not found in the countries of the Northern Continent in the Fifth Age, showing an ancient charm.
Viscount Stafford said nostalgia as he grasped one of the fingers of the patina cross and pressed it against one of the spikes.
His bright red blood flowed out, and was immediately absorbed by the spikes, seeping into the object. The mottled patina on the surface of the cross began to disintegrate, rapidly peeling away, revealing the entity condensed by the light below. In a second or two, the object held by Viscount Stafford became a glorious cross!
It emits a light that is so pure that there is no trace of flaw, illuminating the study that is already as bright as day! The shadow cast by the appearance of Yu Yu and Xiu quickly receded, and this light even penetrated the window, illuminating a radius of tens of meters as if it were day, and the dark spots in the corners of the walls and the shade of the trees in the garden evaporated as quickly as water! ….
And all this happens in the blink of an eye, no more than two seconds before and after!
"Not good!"
Hugh's expression changed slightly, and he immediately realized that the two of them had been exposed, and he also realized that this 'light' would inevitably arouse the vigilance of the official extraordinary people around him! Her eyes immediately lit up with two blinding 'lightning bolts,—— abilities she had acquired since she had been promoted to Sequence 7 Interrogator.
"Spiritual Piercing"!
But alas, it's too late.
Because at the same time that he realized that he had been attacked, Viscount Stafford had already covered his body with a layer of divine armor condensed by pure light! It's just that Hugh's attack in Sequence 7 didn't even leave any traces on the surface of this layer of sacred armor!
"Interrogator?"
Viscount Stafford immediately recognized the source of this ability, and looked at the petite girl, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Just Sequence 7 dares to assassinate me?"
Originally, he wanted to kill the opponent directly with thunder means, and he had the strength to hold a level 1 seal. But now he has changed his mind! He wants to capture her alive, torture her, and force her to find out who is behind her!
As soon as this thought came to him, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a mocking smile on the petite girl's face. Viscount Stafford was miniaturized, as if he had finally remembered something. But in the next second, there was a sudden sharp pain in his chest.
He subconsciously lowered his head, and an ice-blue long sword that exuded a cold aura pierced his chest, piercing through the set of divine armor condensed by brilliance on his body. He finally remembered that he had forgotten something, that there were two people who had come to assassinate him!
"How could it ......?"
Viscount Stafford was full of astonishment and disbelief, this was a level 1 seal, and the condensed divine armor was enough to reach even the attack of the demigods! But now, it is as fragile as a piece of tissue paper, pierced at will.
However, this thought was only fleeting, because he had not even had time to think about it. A huge force came from behind him, as if someone had kicked him in the back and pulled out the sword.
But correspondingly, Viscount Stafford also flew out in an instant.
Bang!
Viscount Stafford was battered and unable to adjust his physical condition, and slammed into the ground like a helpless leaf that had been blown off. He could no longer hold the 'Radiant Cross', and could only let it fly out of his palm and fall a meter away with a thud.
The spike detached from its finger with a streak of blood, mottled patina
The new surface of the cross, without a single blemish, disappeared. But after all, he is an extraordinary person in Sequence 5, and even if he suffers a heavy blow, he still endures severe pain and crawls towards the cross at this moment.
Because he knew that only by obtaining that cross could he have a chance to live!
Seeing this, Hugh immediately made up for the Viscount of Sterford's spiritual piercing, which suddenly made Viscount Sterford's head suddenly tingle, as if it had been smashed by a sharp dagger, and stirred a few times.
She didn't dare to let Viscount Stafford regain her hands on the cross, and as she cast her 'spirit piercing', she quickly reached for the patina cross. But as soon as her fingers touched the object, it was like touching a flame, hot and hot, burning her soul. ….
Hugh gritted his teeth, endured the pain of his soul being burned, and with a flick of his little hand, he moved the cross a little farther away.
"No!"
Viscount Stafford saw this scene and immediately let out a cry of pain in great heartbreak. But in the next second, his afterglow seemed to catch a glimpse of the ice-blue sword, which slashed straight across his shoulders.
Intense pain was transmitted to the nerves again, but this time Viscount Stafford didn't even know where it was, or where he was, because all his limbs were parting ways with his body at the same time!
"Ahhh
The screams of Viscount Stafford filled the room with chills.
Even Hugh couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw this scene, and whispered:
"Is it necessary?"
"Didn't you?"
Yu Duan asked a rhetorical question, leaving Hugh speechless, and then he asked again, "What was the situation just now?"
"I don't know."
Hugh looked at the cross on the ground, frowned, and said, "It burns me like fire, and it refuses my touch."
Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, stepped forward and grabbed the cross, but unlike what Hugh said, he didn't feel anything. Yu Duan didn't bother to think about it, so he simply held the cross directly, and sent it into the soul space with a flip of his palm.
Hugh was about to speak, but suddenly there was the sound of hurried footsteps in the hallway, and it was evident that the battle had alarmed the servants of the mansion.
Hugh's expression changed slightly, and he quickly flipped to the page where astrology was written—an ability that interfered with divination, and was now the perfect time to wrap it up.
After doing all this, Hugh subconsciously set his eyes on Yu Duan, and Yu Duan also understood, after all, he had considered this before they acted. One hand grabbed Viscount Stafford who had turned into a human club, and the other hand grabbed Hugh's arm.
At the same time, one of the rings on his hand glowed with a light blue and illusory light. In an instant, their figures became transparent and disappeared in place.
At the same time, there was a knock and the anxious shouts of the servants outside the door, but there was no response from the study. Finally, a young man with a grim face, who was obviously not dressed as a servant, slammed open the door directly, and saw the study, which had been in a mess because of the battle just now, and the limbs in the pool of blood with the obvious characteristics of Viscount Stford's clothes.
As for Viscount Stafford and his head, they were nowhere to be seen.
"Call the police, call the police!"
One of the servants screamed in panic.
"Can't call the police!"
The grim-faced young man scolded, "Viscount Sterford is the chief of the palace guard, and the royal family will be responsible for investigating this matter, and no one can leave this house without my permission!"
……
At the same time, in just two or three breaths, the rest of them were already in an abandoned warehouse in the docklands, where Hugh had personally inspected the site - the entire process had been carefully rehearsed.
"Let's get started."
Yu Chong Xiu bowed slightly, and Xiu did not hesitate, quickly lit a prepared candle, and turned the travel notes to the page of 'Mind Reading. At this time, Viscount Stafford who had turned into a human stick was still struggling in pain and squirming into the distance. ….
Until Hugh held it
The candle came to him, and Viscount Stafford suddenly became confused, and only the candle flame remained in his eyes.
Hugh asked quickly:
"Do you know Mason Deer?"
"Know."
"Who is he?"
"He's the former chief of the palace guard."
Hugh took a deep breath and began to touch the more core areas of resistance:
"What caused Masondil's death?"
Viscount Stafford did not answer Hugh's question at once, and seemed to struggle for a moment before he said:
"He discovered His Majesty's secret, and wanted to inform the three major churches that he was unsuccessful and was executed on the spot."
Hugh's expression moved slightly, and he instinctively asked eagerly:
"What's the King's secret?"
"Yes......"
Suddenly, Viscount Stafford trembled violently, and his confused eyes suddenly regained their brightness. Immediately afterward, he disintegrated from the most subtle structure, and instantly collapsed into a cloud of "fireworks". The blood-colored "fireworks" soared into the sky and exploded, lighting up the night.
Hugh changed color slightly, and immediately realized that something was wrong, and turned the note again to another page that read 'astrology' for anti-divination.
A moment later, Yu Duan grabbed her shoulders, and the figures of the two quickly disappeared in place.
And not long after they disappeared, a figure wearing a dress, draped in a big hat, with extremely long shoe tips, and dressed out of touch with the current era, appeared on the scene, and his expression was extremely gloomy.
And this man is none other than Prince Grove of Sunia. Augustus, one of the few remaining demigods of the royal family!
After a while, the figure of a woman in a black evening dress was also quickly outlined, and she wore a golden mask on her face, and she couldn't see clearly. But Grove clearly knows each other, and this is also one of the few demigods in the royal family.
The female sage did not seem to be aware of the situation, and asked:
"What's the situation?"
"It's Viscount Stafford ."
Grove. Augustus muttered, "He's dead! Now the traces have been eliminated, whether it is the eucalyptus scene or here, the other party has done anti-divination processing, and all the spirits at the scene have been eliminated in advance, just like the previous times, I can't find any clues."
The female sage was silent for a long time, and then said slowly, "Go back to the palace first, Your Majesty wants to see you."
"Okay."
Grove. Augustus's face turned pale, just like before, he was still fully responsible for this incident.
