Chapter 56: Ending the Battle

Picking up Klein, who was crawling out of the 2-049 range, Angel's adrenaline-delayed pain nerves felt a burning pain in his left shoulder.

Unable to deal with the bleeding wound, she came five meters away from 2-049 and the clown controlled by it.

The seal showed its terrifying dominance just now, and after Crane crouched down, he kicked 2-049 at the clown behind him with his hand on the ground, and 2-049 did not disappoint the two, and the moment the clown entered the area of influence, he exerted a negative impact on him, and the clown, who had countless escape abilities, did not even snap his fingers.

Angel didn't want to go over and experience the effect together, she stood outside the seal's area of influence, raised her pistol, and aimed at the stiff clown, who maintained a comical posture of putting one hand on her shoulder and pinching her thumb and middle finger with the other, her eyes tracking Angel in an extremely slow motion, but soon the sparkle in her eyes disappeared, and she no longer responded to external stimuli.

Dunn and the others did not tell her what she would look like if she was fully controlled by 2-049, and it was possible that she would remain in the same position until she died, or that she could become a puppet of Antigonus and fulfill her wish to find a descendant of her family.

But she didn't dare bet.

The tuxedo clown's many weird and powerful abilities allow him to go freely under the siege of many night watchmen, if he is not controlled by 2-049, I am afraid that a few more Angels and Klein will have nothing to do with him, if the other party really has any means to get out of trouble, or start acting again under the control of the seal, the consequences will be difficult for her to accept.

Thinking of this, Angel did not hesitate to aim at the Joker's head instead of other non-lethal locations.

Before firing the shot, she tilted her head to look at Klein beside her.

Seeing that the other party did not object, she simply pulled the trigger.

In the case of a regular attack, Angel would hit the chest with the highest percentage of hits before reshooting the head, but the Joker was like a live target, so she shot directly at the head, and two shots in a row.

It's like the threat the Joker just made to her: make a hole in Crane's head.

The demon hunting bullet is very worthy of its own value, and the caliber of 0.38 inches is also powerful, and the two bullets have pierced the clown's forehead, leaving two finger-thick bullet holes, and when they penetrate from the occipital, they have expanded to two terrifying wounds the size of two fists, knocking most of the occipital bones away, and also taking away a lot of brain tissue.

There was no need to check, and Angel knew that this guy was too dead to die.

2-049 seemed to have no interest in the lifeless goal, and the Joker's lifeless body broke free from the negative effects of the seal, and he fell to his knees, bent forward, and collapsed limply, dark red blood mixed with sand and gravel quickly staining the ground beneath his feet.

Along with it, there was also the thrill of relief that welled up in Angel's mind.

From Cole Granger's memories, she learned that this was not the comfort of defeating the enemy, but the "digestion" of the "Assassin" potion.

This feeling had also arisen when she killed Lady Sharon, but she had no time to care about it or think about it after a tense battle.

But after killing two Extraordinaires in a row today, her instincts told her that the potion in her body might be just a kick away from being completely "digested".

But the role of the assassin should not be so simple......

Putting aside the doubts in her heart for a moment, Angel turned her head to look at Klein on the side, who stared at the dead tuxedo clown in a daze, and then looked away, frowning, and seemed to be a little uncomfortable.

"It's not hurt, is it?"

Angel asked curiously as she reloaded her pistol.

Klein shook his head: "It's just a little uncomfortable, it's the first time I've seen a dead person so closely." ...... just now"

He looked at 2-049 next to the clown's corpse with some trepidation.

“…… I really thought I was going to die like this when I was controlled by the seal just now, but luckily, it seems that the guy shot me in the foot, and the gravel splashed on my legs, maybe that's why I was awakened from the negative effects......"

Can you really wake him up from 2-049's control without touching him personally?

Angel looked at Klein quizzically until the latter looked away distractedly.

"Let's take it as such, let's go see the captain first."

Angel didn't pursue it in the end, although she did wonder how Crane managed to get out of 2-049's control on his own, and it was definitely not the reason he said.

But now that the other night watchmen were lying on the ground, in urgent need of rescue, she could only wait until she was free to ask about it.

As for the focus of the battle between the two sides, the note of the Antigonus family is still lying quietly in the area of influence of 2-049, and the two of them know it by heart, and no one mentions the matter of risking into the area of influence to retrieve the note.

Anyway, when everyone is rescued, the notes and seals can't escape.

Bypassing the center of the explosion and reaching the other corner of the clearing, Angel approached Leonard, who was moaning and opening his eyes.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Leonard, although his face was covered in blood, had regained his senses.

After a few minutes of wits and courage with the clown just now, she was actually quite afraid that these teammates would be seriously injured, but it seemed that no matter which sequence of the potion was, it had a certain strengthening effect on the body, although several people were staggering, either unconscious or bleeding from the mouth and nose, but they were all alive.

Crane was not far away as he picked up Dunn Smith, trying to wake him up shaking his head. In the other direction, Borgia struggled to his feet, took a small bottle from his pocket and handed it to Lorota, who was lying beside him.

She also handed Leonard her hand.

"Do you want a hand?"

The green-eyed poet lay on his back on the ground, his eyes confused, and his gaze swept around as if he had just woken up, before finally focusing on Angel's face.

"I'm ...... Just now Riel Bieber, exploded? ”

He seemed to remember what happened before he fell unconscious, and he stretched out his hand to Angel and asked slowly.

"Yes, a few of you were knocked unconscious, but luckily none of them were in danger of life, well, probably not."

Angel grabbed Leonard's hand and pulled him off the ground, and the latter shook him a few times before he stood firm on the wooden box beside him.

Taking off the already tattered gloves, Leonard took out a sky blue metal vial from the inner pocket of his windbreaker, shook the bottle, unscrewed the cap, and was about to pour it in one gulp, when he saw Angel next to him looking at the bottle curiously, and put down his hand again.

"Are you hurt? If it's heavier, divide it in half of you, and don't drink it if you can continue to act, because the side effects are great. ”

"What kind of medicine is this?"

Angel was indeed curious, and she found that Borgia had handed Lorotta the same bottle that seemed to be a drug commonly used by night watchmen, perhaps for a short period of time, and Dunn or Old Neil had not told her.

"'Goddess's Gaze', a standard potion of the Church, has a certain healing effect, but it is mainly to squeeze the body's potential and maintain the best fighting condition, but after the effect, it will be more weak, and it needs to be treated in time."

Leonard patiently explained, carefully pinching the blue vial, as if protecting a precious treasure.

However, for the injured night watchman, the "Goddess's Gaze" is indeed a treasure.

"Then I don't need it for the time being, I just have, well, a gunshot wound in the left shoulder, and my spiritual depletion is a little, but my physical condition is fine." Angel heard that there were side effects and was not ready to take this "Goddess's Gaze", the injury on his shoulder was not serious, he left it alone, and went back and dealt with it slowly.

Moreover, she did not consume much spirit in the whole battle, and the lack of high-cost and high-yield ability of the "Assassin" in other Sequence 9 is one aspect, on the other hand, she also found that her body, whether it is strength, speed, or spiritual "reserve", is higher than the stage when Cole Granger was still the "Assassin" in Sequence 9.

This may be consistent with her previous speculation that the body still retains a significant portion of the Sequence 7 "witch" powers.

Leonard drank the entire bottle of "Goddess's Gaze" in one gulp, regained his spirit at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his pale face became rosy after blood loss, but it looked a little too ruddy, like congestion after strenuous exercise.

He smacked his lips, screwed the lid on the empty bottle, and put it back in his pocket.

"Let's go, let's go see the captains, it looks like Riel Bieber can't put together the full look, but that 'Esoteric Order' member could kill him at any time, we better leave as soon as possible with the seal and the notes of the Antigonus family."

Hearing a somewhat familiar term, Angel curiously asked, "Esoteric Order?" ”

"An ancient organization, founded in the Quaternary Age, related to the fallen nobles of the Solomon Empire, and the notebook we came to find was accidentally lost." Leonard's expression was a little cautious, "They hide in the shadows, and they are usually difficult to find, but once they are shot, they are often very difficult. The tuxedo guy who attacked us first and harassed us during the battle with Riel Bieber, the one with oil paint on his face, is a member of the 'Esoteric Society'. ”

"He should be in the middle sequence, his ability is weird, we are in such a state now, he is likely to suffer a loss, if the notes are snatched away by him, then today's mission will be in vain."

Medium sequence, is it at least the extraordinary of sequence 7......

Angel secretly recalls what she knows about sequence grading, Sequence 9 and Sequence 8, which are the likes of herself and Leonard, known as low sequences; Above is the middle sequence, including sequence 7, sequence 6, and sequence 5; Starting from sequence 4, up is the strong one of the higher sequences.

The few mid-sequence extraordinaries Angel has seen, Dunn Smith, Dalie Simone, and the deceased Sharon Hoy, are all extraordinaries with a variety of powerful and strange abilities.

In this way, the tuxedo clown, as another middle sequence, does have a lot of strange extraordinary abilities, as far as she can see, she snaps her fingers and shoots invisible bullets, disappears from the flames, appears, hides her body and moves secretly, and turns into a paper figure to avoid damage when she is blown away.

In the end, with a touch of the palm, the fatal injury in the chest was moved to a non-fatal position such as the shoulder.

If it weren't for the fact that he had been entangled with Angel and Klein for a long time at the edge of the range of 2-049 in order to snatch the Antigonus family notes, and finally was accidentally controlled by the negative effects of the seal, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to die here easily.

"By the way, speaking of notes, did you find where it fell?"

Leonard took a few steps, suddenly thought of the goal of this mission, and turned back to ask Angel.

"Ms. Lorota has been retrieved from Riel Bieber's body just now, but now that it's under the seal's control, we'll have to call someone to take it out with us."

Following Angel's gaze, Leonard looked at the cracked iron box in the center of the clearing, and sure enough, he found the old cover notebook covered with Riel Bieber's bodily fluids not far away.

and a tuxedo clown with his knees bent, hips cocked, and his upper body lying on the ground, presenting an indecent pose.

"Hmm...... Who is the person lying on his stomach next to him? He was ...... 2-049 No, he's ......"

Leonard quickly glanced around and noticed that several of his companions were there, so he squinted at the corpse next to the seal.

"If the 'Esoteric Order' you're talking about is the tuxedo-clown, then you shouldn't have to worry about him going and returning."

Angel gestured to the Joker's corpse.

"He's dead."
