The battle actually lasted only about a minute, and as Isenger Stanton said, as long as they held out for a minute, the team of the "Mechanical Heart" hidden nearby would rush here and solve the problem with absolute force superiority.

But unfortunately, the "Apostle of Desire" was too cautious, even if he fell into a trap, even if he used the unexpected "mental shock" to severely damage everyone present and get a chance to fight back, his primary purpose was still to save himself, not to risk killing some of the extraordinary people present.

When the extraordinaries in the audience were shocked by the "spiritual shock", he had already felt the "mechanical heart" approaching quickly from the street, and even further away, there were already two other teams of people, full of "danger" against him, quickly approaching the street.

So he fled the scene without hesitation.

The "Heart of the Machine" team that broke through the door was led by a middle-aged brown-haired man with a stiff face, dressed in a trench coat and top hat like many of the official Beckland Extraordinaires, and holding a strangely shaped revolver in his hand.

He was the first to enter the house, and immediately commanded his other teammates to rush to the back door, trying to track down the fleeing "Apostle of Desire", but in less than two minutes, he led the team back to the living room with a reluctant face.

"He was not lightly wounded, and the ground was covered with black blood, but the man had already run away."

He muttered, looking at Kaslana and her assistant as they helped each other to their feet, Issinger who got up from behind the couch on her own, and Angel who sat on the couch with Sherlock's help.

"Did you just see his face?"

Another mechanical heart asked, holding a metal vessel in both hands, shaped like a basin and about the same size, containing black slime collected from the back door, which was not only the blood of the "Apostle of Desire", but also part of his body, which had been transformed into a viscous black liquid by some extraordinary ability, which had both concealed his body and dodged attacks, and just looked at it with the naked eye, it felt that it was filled with all kinds of negative and negative emotions.

"Only his eyes are exposed, which are blue, and the rest of his body parts are wrapped in this liquid."

It was Sherlock who replied, he was barely attacked in the battle just now, and even when he was affected by the "mental shock", most of that madness was played, with the purpose of confusing the "Apostle of Desire" and waiting for the mechanical heart team to come and join him.

He glanced at Angel, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, her face was a strange red, and he didn't know how true or false her reaction was just now.

"It's okay, we have other options."

The member of the Mechanical Heart replied, putting down the "basin" and looking at his captain with a look of anticipation or not.

The latter took two steps, took off his top hat and put it on the coffee table on the side, revealing a mess of brown hair, he found a sofa that was still intact and sat down, bowed slightly to the several extraordinary people gathered together, and said:

"Hello everyone, most of you are meeting me for the first time, I'm Iconsor Bernard of the Church of the God of Steam and Machines," he paused and continued, "I'm going to use a magical item to spy on the movements of that 'Apostle of Desire', and although I have an agreement with Mr. Stanton that I will not care about your identity in this operation, if you leak certain information intentionally or unintentionally, this agreement will be null and void immediately." ”

Angel resisted the impulses that sprung up in her heart, listening to the admonition of the mechanical heart, she knew that most of these words were addressed to herself, and that Isinger, Kaslana, and Sherlock were all detectives registered with the official Extraordinary, and were also victims of threatening letters, and only she was considered a "wild extraordinaire of unknown origin".

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw another "Mechanical Heart" escorting Lydia, an assistant who was not part of the Extraordinary, out of the living room, leaving only the Extraordinary, official or unofficial.

"I see, thanks for the reminder."

When she opened her mouth to respond, Angel realized that her voice was a little hoarse, and Sherlock handed over a cup of coffee that had already cooled under the smell of frost, she thanked her, took the coffee and drank it all, feeling that her dry throat was much more comfortable.

Ikenser waited for the door to be closed before he breathed a sigh of relief and took from another member of the team an ancient silver mirror with black gems on both sides, about the size of a magazine, with a strange concentric pattern on the back.

He held the silver mirror in one hand, stroked the surface three times with the other, and after a short pause, he spoke:

"Dear Arodes, my question is ......"

He hesitated, as if he was having trouble deciding which question to ask.

His gaze wandered between the basin of black liquid and the messy living room, and after a moment, he continued:

“…… Where is the demon that just attacked here now? ”

As his question ended, the surrounding gas lights suddenly dimmed, as if covered by an additional lampshade, and the surface of the ancient silver mirror glowed with a strange water glow, revealing a scene like Angel performing a magic mirror divination.

In a secluded sewer, a dark shadow is moving against the wall at a very fast speed, clinging to the wall like a two-dimensional painting most of the time, but when turning a corner or changing direction, it will revert to its human form and run a few steps on its feet.

The image in the mirror follows this dark shadow closely, unaffected by the darkness of the underground and the ever-changing speed.

The moment the black shadow returned to human form, everyone present saw his side face, although it was also wrapped in pitch-black liquid, his cheekbones were high, his chin was protruding, and he had a pair of cold blue eyes.

"There is no characteristic sewer, I don't know the exact location, and he moves very quickly, even if I can locate him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch him......"

"At least I know what he looks like, and I have some clues......"

"It's difficult, I know a lot of people with this kind of look, and I'm afraid there are countless of them in the whole of Beckland."

Several of the Mechanical Hearts whispered to each other, and one of the members who had been prepared quickly sketched the side of the face, then tore off the page and carefully put it away, which would be the focus of their search for the rest of their search.

Angel also looked curiously at this silver mirror that was obviously a seal, it actually located the other party directly with only a little bit of information, you know, this is the "criminal" path of sequence 5, with an almost impossible breakthrough of anti-divination, if she uses an ordinary magic mirror for divination, I am afraid that all she will get is a dark failure.

And this mirror actually has its own name, Arodes, I'm afraid it's an important seal, at least level 2, maybe even level 1...... To be able to wield it, this Iconse should also be the leader of a deacon or a Red Glove-like squad, i.e. Sequence 6 or higher......

As she guessed, the image on the surface of the silver mirror vanished, revealing a few lines of words.

"According to the principle of reciprocity, it was my turn to ask questions.

"If you answer incorrectly, or lie, you will be punished."

The last word was written like blood, and it was even dripping down.

Several "outsiders", including the well-informed Issinger, swallowed their saliva and looked at Iconse, whose face was a little pale.

Several mechanical hearts were even more subconsciously a few steps away from him.

The middle-aged man, who was suspected to be a deacon of the Steam Church, licked his dry lips and turned solemn.

The original words on the silver mirror disappeared, and a new line appeared as the water flashed.

"Will you break your promise for profit or other reasons?"

As if he couldn't believe that the question was so simple, Iconse leaned his head closer to "Arodes" and carefully checked it, then glanced at Angel next to him, and quickly withdrew it.

"No, it won't."

He replied softly.

After a few moments, the words on the mirror completely disappeared, returning to a silvery surface that barely reflected the surrounding scene.

The crowd watching looked at each other, and always felt that the end of the matter was a bit simple, not quite in line with the danger of the "seal", especially a few "mechanical hearts", who were far away from their captain before, obviously trying to avoid some kind of danger, but at this time, you look at me, I look at you, and their faces are full of doubts.
