Chapter 49: Serial Tailgating

For Leonard, every day has been an ordeal.

At least serial murders occur almost once a day, and sometimes even two a day, which is completely inconsistent with the ritual of a "demon" performing the "Apostle of Desire".

And if there were many demons who were completing their own rituals to promote to Sequence 5 at the same time, then Leonard couldn't imagine how many mid-sequence extraordinaries had appeared in Beckland, and most of these extraordinaries were quite malicious to their side.

It's not like the Night Church didn't fail to investigate the case, but neither divination nor other means could get specific information, and it seemed like it was being blinded by something.

And this also makes Leonard feel quite tricky, after all, if it is an ordinary demon who wants to perform a ritual, it is an extraordinary person in Sequence Six, or at most Sequence Five. But not only were they unable to tell the murderer's whereabouts themselves, but even Leonard's quest for Parles Zoroaster to do so could not yield results.

This caused Parles to warn Leonard not to continue the investigation, but the increase in the number of dead people left Leonard's psyche tormented.

At the same time, Audrey walked forward, hiding in the night with the help of her black clothes, and gently grasped the small ornament containing a drop of "oil" with her hand—she removed all the ornaments from herself, leaving only the gift that Mr. "White Tower" had given her.

- She felt that the monocle given by the young man as an "extraordinary item" was a little inconvenient to carry, so she also left it in the Night Church.

What even Audrey herself failed to notice was that the monocle had been covered with a few thin drops of paint, and if you look through the monocle, you will find that the world you see is blurry.

After Audrey walked into a somewhat dimly lit street, a pair of eyes full of malice opened behind Audrey's back, as if to see if the girl in front of her was worth hunting herself.

Audrey walked forward, thinking about what she would do next.

When Audrey walked out of the block, a tall, thin man in an inconspicuous gray dress walked out of the place where she had been standing, looking at Audrey's back with malicious eyes.

Unlike the malice suppressed in the eyes of the "prisoner", the malice in the eyes of this man is obviously exposed, as if he is in the same stream with evil desires.

On the back of his bare hand there was a red brand in the shape of a pentagram, which emitted a little light, and looked like blood, which looked extremely terrifying in the dark night.

After seeing the girl in front of him, he licked his lips a little intoxicated, and his eyes were full of malice that could not be washed away. As he moved, a crack flashed across his hand, and an orange-red glow like lava flowed through the scar.

This is a "demon"!

He slowed his pace and looked at Audrey in the distance, as if he was a little surprised that he could meet this "lamb" of such high quality, and he could satisfy the malice flowing in his heart.

He wanted to see the lamb stripped of its skin, and its flesh scorched by its own flames; He wanted to be a butcher for the first time in a long time, and feel the pleasure of cutting flesh with a knife.

The claws and extraordinary abilities that tore through his flesh already made him feel some force. Obviously, several of the previous serial murder cases were the work of this demon in front of you.

And after the "demon" with a sharp blade walked away and followed Audrey, two figures in military uniforms walked out of the building where they were hiding.

One of them wore a golden mask on his face and a pistol pinned to his waist; The other, on the other hand, was wearing a bloodstained shotgun. Judging by the blood flowing on it, the shotgun appeared to be some kind of extraordinary item with extraordinary effects.

The two made eye contact, and after making sure to continue their tracking, they continued to follow the demon.

"This should be the initiator of the serial murder case during this period of time, and if we arrest him, we will be able to get the emperor's reward."

The man with the shotgun said to his companion beside him, and the extraordinary man with the golden mask just nodded, as if he didn't want to deal with his partner, and a faint golden light flashed on his hand.

The extraordinary man with the shotgun next to him continued to lower his voice, and said to his companion in a nagging voice:

"His Majesty the Emperor is different from before in so many ways, and He has sent us out to deal with this extraordinary...... Shouldn't this be a church thing? We don't need to rely on these ordinary people......"

"And His Majesty Augustus recently held a witch hunt, allowing the women in the neighborhood to report each other, and then use extraordinary items to test, don't you say, there are really a few witches who report others as witches."

"Tell me why when we caught the witch, it wasn't our turn to do such a good thing? I'm going to catch these ugly demons......"

"Be quiet."

Listening to the babbling complaints of his companions, the extraordinary person next to him finally couldn't bear it anymore and scolded his partner beside him. The Extraordinary, who was holding the shotgun, pursed his lips and finally didn't say anything more, just continued to follow the demon with his companion intently.

And the extraordinary person next to him who told his companion to shut up suddenly felt a little trance, and felt that the scene around him was a little familiar for a while. This made him cheer up again and let himself not think about this demonic thing.

Each demon has a certain degree of "malicious perception", however, it seems that this demon's "malicious perception" is not too strong.

Thinking so, this extraordinary person still thinks about other things according to the method he has learned to avoid "malicious perception", so that he will not be malicious towards the demon in front of him.

After the two of them left the place, Leonard, who had just finished "falling asleep", leonard leaned out of the shadows, and the effect created by the "Requiem" ability around him slowly disappeared, making his figure clear again in the night.

As a "spirit witch", the night is his home turf!

He frowned and asked to the Parles Zoroasd in his mind:

"Old man, you still can't find out what's wrong with this demon? He's just a Sequence Six Extraordinary! ”

Leonard's subtext is, old man, why are you so weak? Can't even detect an extraordinary person who hasn't received divinity?

"Sequences aren't everything." Hearing Leonard's obvious question, Parles replied unrelentingly, "I can help you cover up other people's spies on you, can't others?" I just hope that the thing that helped him cover up the divination won't be ......"

"What is it?"

Leonard asked subconsciously. It was already night, and the reason why he was here was because the murders of the previous days had been at night, and although there were residents with various characteristics among the dead, most of the dead were young women.

After Leonard saw his team members enter the convent in the evening, and left with a nun suit, he quickly informed Klein, who had a lot of money with his team, and quietly followed, wanting to see what his team member Audrey wanted to do.

And it turns out that Leonard did catch a big fish this time, and there are actually two people behind this demon who want to track down this demon and use this demon as the object of "casting a long line to catch a big fish", and investigate certain things in it.

"It seems that the current emperor has nothing to do with these demons - but what about the witches?"

The witch and the demon seem to have reached a partnership, and now both are staying in Bakeland in large numbers. Leonard thought for a moment, then left the spot and followed the two in the distance who wanted to hunt down the demon.

Most likely, these two men will not lend a helping hand to the members of their Night Watch team, and appear to be planning to use their team members as traps until the demon has let his guard down before striking out and killing or capturing the demon alive.

But a hunter doesn't think about the life or death of the bait in the trap, and while they want to use the nun who dares to run around in the middle of the night to catch a big case related to demons, Leonard is different.

Although he also wants to get to the root of the problem and find out the cause of this serial murder. But Leonard obviously can't just watch Audrey get hurt, even if you don't add Klein's relationship, Audrey is also his team member and the object he needs to protect.

- After all, Dunn Smith was also protecting him like this at the time.

After Leonard left with all his thoughts in mind, a figure in a pure white robe slowly emerged from the side, with a warm smile on his face, and touched his pale golden beard on his chin with a look of compassion.

"Here we go."

"The last bit of foreshadowing to meet the tide of this era has finally been laid, and while it may anger the 'fool' who doesn't know his true identity, it's all worth it."

Adam said quietly.

Although the extraordinary characteristics of the "Black Emperor" will now return to "Russell Gustav" due to the resurrection of Russell, Adam has already spent a lot of effort to correct the current trend of history under such circumstances.

In the current situation, as long as the strength of the Night Church declines again, the God of War will not be able to resist his urge to merge into the "Eternal Darkness" and instead launch an attack on the Rune Empire.

And the time of this attack must be before George III wakes up, and the god of war will definitely take the lead in the case of one less god in the Rune Empire.

“…… Earl Hall. ”

Adam closed his eyes gently.

"Your choices will determine your family to be the trigger for this war. Not even your gods will save you, even if your faith in Him is still devout. ”

The fate of the fuse is to be burned out, and the fate of the bait is to be swallowed by the prey in one gulp.

"The fate of one or two people is completely insignificant relative to the world."

After a brief silence, Adam spoke softly, as if admonishing himself:

"—for the sake of this world, even if it's my ......"

- Why can't I be a necessary sacrifice to meet the tide of the times?

He closed his mouth, and his slightly fluctuating expression calmed down again.

In order to save the world, even if it is to sacrifice one's own will, what is the problem of letting the "true creator" take the lead?

His figure faded again, and all the while, His essence was doing something else, and it was only a virtual personality that appeared here.

The tide of the world has been turbulent enough, and Adam now needs to monitor everything in detail to push the war between Fersak and the Rune Empire as quickly as possible.

After the god of war died at the hands of the goddess of the night, he was able to complete his ritual and ascend to the throne of the "Visionary" - the only difference was that Lilith was in a worse state now. Adam had to give Lilith a boost to make sure he made his promise to the goddess of the night.

The characteristics and uniqueness of the three sequences had been gathered, and Adam did not know how many of the seven gods had been polluted by the outer gods, and whether the other half of his body had also been bewitched by the outer gods.

But He needed to have at least the person of the true God before he dared to attempt to merge with the true Creator.

- In any case, there must be a "God" on earth.

There must be a "sun" on earth that can shine on human beings in the dark.

Moments later, a young man dressed in aristocratic attire appeared where Adam had been standing. He smiled:

"I was ...... surprise"

"Even if the plan is completely disrupted, you can still find the optimal solution now, right?"

The high-dimensional overlooking person said to himself, "He did the right thing, but the side of God in him is too thick." He sees Himself as the insurance of this civilization—ah, that's exactly what God would think. ”

"Arrogant."

The high-dimensional lookdown shook his head with some pity, and then said to himself:

"However, if I am really an outer god with malicious intentions towards the earth, he is not wrong to do so, at least to protect himself, so that the possibility of God's appearance will not be completely cut off - either the true creator or Adam can really get the will of the original God by giving up himself without being polluted and merging into the sea of chaos."

"After all, they are the 'gods' who have come out of the sea of chaos. After soaking in the sea for so long, it's a bit too much to say without a little bit of God's resurrection on your body, right? ”

The high-dimensional lookdown smacked his lips, and a dark curtain fell behind him, enveloping him in the middle, leaving him without a trace.

——

Audrey felt a pain in her lower back, and subconsciously split her upper body apart, avoiding the next attack.
