Chapter 136: A Strange Sky

Beckland Great Smog was in the afternoon.

The vision in the sky of the East End fell into the eyes of the entire city.

The light tears through the haze, revealing the sky and the sun, what else can such a sight be a miracle?

In the smaller neighborhoods, people prayed to their gods, especially because the yellow-black mist was so terrifying that many of them began to feel sick and even more panicked.

The Church of the Night Goddess, the Church of the God of Steam and Machines, and the Church of the God of Storms are all in a state of emergency.

Because of the highly toxic haze that suddenly spread in the factory area, the dock area, and the eastern district, some official extraordinary people have been dispatched to evacuate and rescue the masses, and there are still many serious seals under the cathedrals, and the manpower that can be sent to the eastern district is quite limited.

And several squads that were already in the Eastern Sector had long since lost contact.

When the light was on, the outside forces could no longer even interfere with the Eastern Sector, which seemed to be temporarily isolated and formed a separate space.

Thankfully, this only lasted a few minutes.

The inhabitants did not understand what such a situation was, but the three archbishops still remembered a similar situation. Even if the Extraordinary Beings under them have forgotten all about the events of that time, the sealed confidential files will not deceive or falsify.

This is the same source as the power that appeared once in the Eastern District some time ago, only this time, it showed itself more unscrupulously, and even launched a counterattack against the haze that eroded the life of the Eastern District.

The three major righteous churches invariably used the strongest seal they could activate, and because of the appearance of that abnormal light, Archbishop St. Anthony of the Night Church made up his mind and directly activated the "Hidden Angel" of 0-17.

The highest level of secrecy related to 0-17 is that it can be used as a divine vessel for the goddess of the night.

Soon, the glow of the East End dissipated.

Fierce winds swept through Beckland, and torrential rain followed, drowning out the deadly remnants of the fog.

——

South District of the Bridge.

In the "Cafe de Nature", a woman listening to a red-haired young man playing the piano indiscriminately looks up, with her dark skin characteristic of Byron and a pendant of colored feathers hanging from her ear.

The moment she unconsciously turned her head and noticed the sky changing color, she shouted, and then rushed out of the café with few customers: "Richie! Come out! ”

The red-haired, freckled young man stopped his attempt to harm the other people's hearings, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and followed the woman out of the doorway, almost all of them out into the street, their eyes unconsciously attracted by the light in the sky, and they all put down what they were doing and stared quietly in that direction.

Soon, the owner of the café, Thomson Monette, and the proprietress Martha Monette also came out, staring at the strange celestial phenomenon in amazement, and their expressions gradually changed from surprise to peace.

Rich Andrisen looked around at the faces of the people around him with the same expressions, and always felt that such a scene was somewhat familiar.

Candela Gonzales, who was standing next to Richie, suddenly grabbed him by the arm and dragged him towards the edge of the crowd.

"Candela? You, you slow down! ”

The dark-skinned Candela lowered his voice: "I saw Norn just now!" Norn Murphy! ”

Richie also lowered his voice and looked around in shock: "Isn't he wanted by the police for participating in the evil - then what!?" We were also interrogated for days! ”

Candela and Richie rushed as fast as they could, squeezing past several passers-by who were staring intently at the sky, and into a small alley.

"Norne! Wait a minute! After Richie shouted, he realized that the young man on the other side, who used to be a teacher in the East District, did not continue to run away.

Norne Murphy was wearing a brown-colored trench coat, his left hand was buckled on the lead gray top hat above his head, and he took off his hat to the two of them: "Sorry, I don't have much time to catch up, I just want to ask you to say hello to Mrs. Romano for me, thank her for taking care of me all these years." ”

Richie walked forward angrily, and his action made Norn take two steps back: "What the hell happened to you, leave without saying a word!" When the police came to tell us that you were involved in cult activities, we were all scared to death! ”

Norn smiled wryly and shook his head: "No, it should be that you are the only one who is frightened." I know each and every one of you, Richie. ”

Candela mentions something else: "Norne, is that residual feeling of discord in Apartment Seven because of what you did?" That's it!? ”

Norn shook his head: "I don't know, but ......"

His gaze turned to the sky, and although it was blocked by the building, the other two knew that he was looking in the direction of the East End, where an eerie light was dancing through the sky.

"Maybe we shouldn't know that it's all good for us." Zoya's singing is truly amazing, even if it is destined to be forgotten, I really want to hear it again......"

Norn took two steps back again.

Candela sensed the movement at his feet: "Wait! You explain clearly! ”

Norn scurried around the corner deep into the alley, and as soon as Candela and Richie were out of sight, his figure melted into the darkness of the corner, squirming along the darkness and into the mouth of the nearby sewer.

Candela and Richie ran around the corner, only to see a high wall a few meters away.

It's a dead end.

——

Lily of the Valley Street, in front of Apartment Seven.

Mrs. Romano looked up at the changes in the sky, her face gloomy.

Suddenly, as if she felt something, she looked back at the flower bed at hand.

The sunflower, which was an entire head tall from the plant next to it, was withering, and its leaves and petals were rapidly shriveling and drying.

Mrs. Romano stretched out her hand and trembled to take down the parched but fruit-bearing flower plate, and it took only a few seconds for the rest to wither and rot completely, and soon fall into the earth.

"Mother Goddess above, what the hell is this ......"

Mrs. Romano held the flower plate in one hand and the emblem of life hanging from her chest in the other.

She looked at the haze in the air, which was the opposite of the breath of life, and knew that she would be busy for the next while.

——

Queens, Earl Hall's mansion.

"Justice" Audrey Hall has been anxiously waiting for the outcome since she informed her mother about "Cheek".

She stood by the window, saw the strange mist that swept half of Beckland, and naturally saw the gentle and clear light, Audrey covered her mouth a little uncontrollably, and looked at the abnormal changes of the light constantly tearing the haze in shock.

The light felt familiar to her, she had seen it, and the powerful observation that "spectator" gave her, Audrey easily remembered where she had seen a similar light.

It was a ball of light hanging from the Tarot president's table, and she could see a similar light every time the tarot meeting was held! Could it be that this is a miracle from the hand of Mr. "Fool"!?

This made Audrey's heart even more uneasy, could it be that the impact of this disaster was so huge that Mr. "Fool" couldn't bear it, and directly descended to help the residents of Beckland?

But she was also full of gratitude in her heart, glad that the "Fool" in her mind had a kindness commensurate with his power, and sure enough, she had always been right about Mr. "Fool"!

Audrey leaned down and hugged Susie tightly, praying silently in her heart, she was very reluctant when the light faded, but the storm and the rain that soon swept to the east calmed Audrey's mood.

I don't know what happened to the east, why hasn't my father come back yet?

Hope everything is well......

——

Joe Wood District.

Foirth was sitting on the couch with a small glass of red wine, lazily discussing New Year's resolutions with Hugh, but that was limited to verbal conversations, and her plans dragged on until the end, often "thinking of something to do".

Hugh was sorting out the commissions at hand, because the New Year was approaching, and the number of commissions had decreased, but Hugh did not dare to relax completely for the many materials needed for promotion later.

Suddenly, Furth felt something, and she sat up from the couch with a spirit, which startled Hugh.

"What's wrong?"

The wine in Furth's hand swirled in the wall of the glass, almost spilling, and she quickly drank the rest of it, and then walked briskly to the window and looked out.

"Hugh, look over there, there......"

Furth pulled Hugh to the window in shock, and Hugh was also dumbfounded by the sight in the sky: "What is that haze?" Is this kind of light also an extraordinary power? Oops, that direction seems to be the East End! ”

Hugh was startled, and subconsciously ran to the door, but was dragged by the arm of Firth: "You calm down!" With our sequence, do you think you can compete with the extraordinary ones who caused this celestial phenomenon? ”

Hugh gritted his teeth quite unwillingly: "That's right, but what the hell is going on?" ”

Firth shook her head suspiciously, but that light seemed a little familiar, where had she seen it?

"I hope the official extraordinary person can hurry up, there are still so many people in the East Side ......"

Hugh stood beside Firth, looking up with her at the gloomy sky outside the window, both full of apprehension.

——

Outside of Beckland.

Exiled by the enemy, Azik Eggers traveled through the spirit realm and returned to Klein's side, handing over the sealed "Wriggling Hunger" to the former students who had restored Sherlock Moriarty in appearance.

"Mr. Azik, the light ......"

Crane looked in the direction of Beckland, and the light appeared when he was being chased by Mr. A, and even caused Mr. A to pause briefly to follow him.

And now, it was disintegrating into a point of light, turning into a faint star, and constantly disappearing into the gray sky of Beckland.

However, to Crane's loss, Azk also shook his head: "I don't know what it is, I can feel that its power is quite special in nature, and it seems to have some connection with the spirit world." ”

Perhaps seeing that Crane's face was very bad, Azik added a few more words: "Before you reach a certain strength, it is best not to investigate rashly, even if there is no malicious intent, some hidden existences in the spirit world are likely to contaminate those who know the relevant information." ”

Klein nodded, "Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Azik, I'll be careful." ”

After Mr. Azik leaves, Crane uses the Faceling's abilities to transform his appearance and find an inn in a nearby town to stay in.

Of course he recognized the light, and Crane had seen the exact same thing both in Esther and above the gray mist.

He did not reveal his inner worries in front of Mr. Azik.

Klein only hoped that the source of that vision was not the result of Esther's loss of control.

He first changed into dry clothes, because he had been chased by Mr. A, Klein was forced to jump into the Tasok River to escape, and was affected by the plague, and at this time he was suffering from a fever and runny nose due to a cold, and his throat was itching uncomfortably.

He laid the blistered bills on the table and waited for them to dry, after which he built a spiritual wall and went about the ritual of sacrificing "wriggling hunger" to the gray mist, and when he was ready, he quickly walked four steps backwards and chanted the mantra, came to the gray mist, and retrieved the newly acquired gloves.

However, Crane was not in a hurry to investigate it, as he first noticed the anomaly of the ball of light above his head.

It was so dim that it barely glowed anymore.

As soon as Klein raised his hand, the ball of light that had become quite dark fell obediently into his palm, and the glass-like transparent shell was covered with cracks, as if it had suffered a powerful impact, but because there was no completely broken gap on the outside, it had not yet triggered the active filling of the gray mist.

Crane tentatively pulled through the small amount of gray mist he could pull, wrapping it around the outside of the orb of light, which was slightly brighter, shifting between light and darkness, as if trying to breathe, trying to draw the power that would bring it back.

The citrine pendulum hung from Crane's right wrist, and in his left hand he still held the ball of light covered with a "lampshade" by the black mist, and silently recited "Beckland's light is related to Esther" seven times.

After getting a fairly definite answer, Klein changed the language of divination:

"Esther is not in danger of her life right now."

Although the pendulum was turning clockwise, it was so small that it seemed to be swaying from side to side, which made Crane startled and re-performed a divination: "Esther is in a difficult situation. ”

This time, the pendulum spun clockwise.

If it weren't for the gray mist, such a drastic divination phenomenon might have caused citrine to be thrown out.

Crane didn't try dream divination, knowing that it would have no effect on the ball of light.

Is there anything I can do to help Esther? Crane racked his brains to think of a countermeasure, and once again put the pendulum in front of him, silently:

"I should go find Esther and help her out."

He opened his eyes and saw the divination results of the pendulum spinning wildly.

Counterclockwise, the negation, portends great danger and conflict that he is difficult to face.

Crane clenched his fists, quickly and weakly lowered his hand, staring at the ball of light on his left hand.

"There's nothing you can do to help her......

He asked himself softly, but unexpectedly received a response from the ball of light, and a halo of light swept from above, causing Crane to subconsciously sit up straight from the high-backed chair.

He sensed some kind of "sound" coming from the orb of light, and whatever was sealed inside, it or He clearly told Crane:

[Ordered.] ]

Klein was so shocked that he almost bounced directly, because the language that sent the response was in Chinese, which he was most familiar with! He subconsciously asked the ball of light in Chinese:

[Do you know where Li Xing is?] Can you help her!? ]

But this time Crane didn't receive any response, he tried to switch back to Rune and Giant, but the Light Ball no longer gave him any feedback, much to Crane's excitement and disappointment.

Is it a coincidence? It shouldn't be accidental, there is no such coincidence, then the most likely, there is a special connection between this ball of light and Esther, so when Esther is really facing a crisis, it also wants to help, so it borrowed my order?

Because of the absolute suppression of it by the Gray Mist, it cannot act autonomously and must be ordered by me as the "Master of the Gray Mist", but why does it not respond to the questions that follow?

Klein thought for a while, and had the answer in his heart, after all, he was not a real god "fool" now, and his control over the gray mist was limited, and he couldn't forcibly order this ball of light to do anything.

But he was now almost certain that this ball of light was sealing the power that belonged to "Zoya", so that the owner of the gray mist could also use it.

I only hope that it can really help Esther and get the fellow out of trouble as soon as possible.
