Tick, tick.

Angel's confused eyes refocused when he heard the sound of water dripping from his ears, only to find that the dark cavern, the bloody altar, and the three serious-looking substitutes had all disappeared without a trace.

She was standing in a small stone chamber, surrounded by moss-covered masonry walls with numerous narrow holes, mostly empty, and a few filled with long-dried human remains.

There was a low exit on the side that could only be passed through by one person, and it was also pitch black outside, as if countless evil spirits were wandering in it, watching Angel.

Overhead, there is also a brick ceiling, and the adhesive between the brick joints has been damaged by years of water seepage, and the dripping water has formed small puddles on the ground.

Am I being pulled into a dream?

Angel's first reaction was this, she reached out and grasped the Hidden Emblem, and there was a warm touch from the latter that was soaked in her own body heat, not the cold that kept her awake after entering the dream.

Is it reality...... No, maybe it was a deeper dream that even the Hidden Emblem couldn't resist, or maybe the light from the symbols around the altar just now teleported me somewhere connected to it?

Syllable.

She tried to move her feet, but she kicked a soft object, and when she looked down, she saw that it was Bishop Miller of the Church of the Storm, who had just died at her hands. The "Wind Favorer", who had been pierced in the chest and infused with the power of purification, looked at Angel with round eyes at this time.

Miller, who was also lying on the altar, also appeared here, indicating that the "living sacrifice ceremony" was more likely to go wrong...... Could it be that this so-called "god of weather" ritual was initiated by Miller's own blood before the need for living sacrifices was satisfied, and we were sent to some primitive ruins left over hundreds of years ago?

Gripped her revolver, Angel first walked towards the only exit, cautiously poked her head out to look outside the door, and found that the stone chamber was connected by a dark corridor, also made of large yellow bricks, that seemed to lead to the infinite distance, flanked by small doorways in the same position as her.

Instead of exploring, she returned to the stone chamber and looked at Bishop Miller, who was dead at his feet.

Originally, she was going to leave with Donna and Cecil to return to the White Onyx, Cecil might need to return to the big port for further treatment, and Donna, who was traumatized, should return to her parents immediately.

As for the bishop who betrayed the Church of the Storm, leave it to the substitutes to deal with it, they will have to recover the extraordinary properties of Sequence 6, and even before that, they will have to psychic to understand the reason for his betrayal.

But now......

Seeing the dark blue and green light gradually precipitating from Bishop Miller's body in the psychic vision, Angel knew that he would soon have no psychic value.

She sighed and pulled out a small mirror, ready to perform a magic mirror channel.

In the battle just now, she lost a magic mirror as a stand-in, but after being promoted to Sequence 5, the "Pain" witch can have more than one magic mirror of her own, so Angel has three of them.

After a brief ceremony, Miller's somewhat pale face appeared in the mirror, and his light brown eyes looked coldly at Angel outside the mirror.

"Miller, what is the purpose of the bloody human sacrifice? Does the fog and squally squall in Bansey Port have anything to do with it? ”

Angel gets straight to the point and begins to ask about the real reason for the incident in Bansey Harbor.

"The ritual wasn't bloody, in fact, it protected Bansey Harbor, not the Storm Church and Church."

Miller's spirit in the mirror said in a bit of a daze.

"Fog and strong winds are not uncommon here, about once a week, but when they all appear at the same time, only this ancient ritual can stop it."

"What if you don't stop it?"

Angel asked, suddenly reminded of the expressionless locals at the Lime Restaurant in Bansey Harbor and the tradition of "going behind closed doors."

Are those the solutions to the "disaster"?

"Ancient tradition holds that this is the wrath of the 'God of Weather' and needs to be appeased with the flesh and blood of the living, otherwise there will not be a single living person left on the entire island, and the 'scourge' will even spread to other areas, and I just did what I was supposed to do."

Miller's eyes regained a hint of clarity, and even brought a fanatical mood, which made Angel feel a little incredible.

Could it be that this cult leader, the fallen bishop who sacrificed innocent people, is still the dark hero who guards Bansi Harbor?

But what about those headless living corpses and flying heads? He made all the cultists look like that in full view of everyone......

"So the 'God of Weather' is real, and the Church of the Storm hasn't solved the island's troubles?"

Seeing that Miller's figure in the mirror began to dim, she knew that there was not much time for channeling, so she spoke faster and continued to ask.

"He may have existed, but is now gone," Miller shook his head and denied, "Bansey's danger comes from Bansey itself, or rather, from the original 'Pennsey'. ”

Pennsey!

Hearing this term, Angel immediately remembered the evil spirit trapped in the underground ruins of Beckland, and he tried to trick Angel, Crane, and Sharon into freeing him, and offered to go to "Pennsey" to find clues.

She wanted to ask further, but Miller's expression had begun to fade and her figure gradually disappeared into the mirror, and Angel had to ask one last question:

"Is that why you betrayed the Church of the Storm and killed your colleagues and acquaintances?"

The former bishop of the Storm Church closed his eyes suddenly, and with the last of his strength he said:

"I didn't betray the storm!"

After leaving these words, his spirit disappeared from the magic mirror.

Putting away the magic mirror, Angel began to recall and analyze Miller's answer.

The brief psychic solved some of her doubts, but also brought more problems.

The "hidden danger" in Klein's divination does exist, and it is "Bansey", no, it should be "Binsey Town" itself, listening to Miller, if you don't stop it with a living sacrifice, there will be a greater mutation in the entire Bansey Harbor, and even other parts of the island, an mutation that can kill everyone.

And how did Miller know about these things, and hide them from the Storm Church, and deal with it himself? He behaved like a poor man who was not trusted by his boss and could only solve problems privately, but the substitute punishers of Bansey Harbor were very active in taking out the seals to deal with the monsters in the fog and rushing to the top of the mountain to deal with the cultists, which did not seem to be a laissez-faire attitude......

Plus what he said at the end was that he didn't betray the Storm Church...... Could it be that the Church deliberately indulged Bansey's anomaly, and that the "conscientious" bishop had no recourse but to use the ancient living sacrifice to sacrifice a small number of people and save the majority?

No, this is all his side of the story, although the psychic asks about people's innermost memories and thoughts, but this does not mean that it is correct, many cultists feel that they are doing the right thing, but they are not recognized by the world......

In the absence of further evidence, Angel no longer tried to analyze Miller's words, and she was ready to return to the port and relay the message to the punishers, so that the Storm Church would have a headache for herself.

Next, there is the disposal of the body......

The semblecks of spirituality have been excreted from Miller's corpse, and I am afraid that it will not take a few minutes to form a complete extraordinary characteristic, and when that time comes, the extraordinary characteristic can only be returned to the substitute punishment.

And if it is herded with the "Rose Necklace", the extraordinary properties and souls will remain inside the necklace, especially the soul, and Miller's memories are likely to be the key to solving Bansey's vision!

Grazing this murderous and evil "wind man", Angel will not have any psychological burden.

The main thing is that there is also an "empty space" in her necklace.

Thinking of this, Angel no longer hesitated, she took off the ruby necklace around her neck, pressed the dark red gem on Miller's forehead, and after a little infusion of spirituality, an invisible breeze floated around the corpse, they swirled, rose, and gradually turned into a visible whirlpool, in which Miller's soul with a painful expression appeared.

The extraordinary properties that were about to be precipitated from the body were also attracted by the whirlwind, hovering above the corpse, and finally sealed into the "Rose Necklace" with the soul, and a deep blue light lit up in the middle of the gem.

Miller, the "Wind Favourer", became the last lamb of the shepherds.

Angel also had three extraordinary abilities in his mind that belonged to the sailor's path.

First of all, "Wind Control" allows Angel to summon a thin, sharp wind blade from his hand like Miller, which can use the wind to support himself to fly off the ground for short distances, and even create an "air cushion" to prevent fall damage.

Secondly, "Ocean Affinity" allows her to grow fish-like subcutaneous scales and gills, which can move freely underwater and breathe freely, lasting more than half an hour.

Finally, Weather Mastery can also summon a thick sea fog that obscures the view like the fog of Bansey Harbor tonight, which works better near the sea, but unfortunately, controlling different weather seems to be different abilities, similar to the demonic words of the Apostle of Desire.

Although the three extraordinary abilities are not very strong in combat - especially Miller, who uses them to fight, is lying at Angel's feet - but they are a good complement to the mobility ability, especially the sea affinity, if the "Red Skull" pirate group tries to loot the White Onyx at noon, Angel has this ability, can swim directly onto the opponent's ship, and easily solve all problems.

Of course, the premise is that you can swim fast enough, which needs to be further verified...... And in this way, he is more like a "kraken......

Angel put the necklace back on, looked at Miller on the ground, and then looked at the compartments around the stone chamber that were obviously used to collect corpses, and did not give him any idea of collecting corpses.

"Next, it's time to get out of this weird underground space......"

Angel tried to perform a magic mirror divination, trying to figure out if she was near Bansey Harbor or if she had been sent farther away by the altar and ritual ritual, but the information was insufficient and the divination did not give any results.

"Oh, master soothsayer."

After laughing at herself, she abandoned this occult method and prepared to walk directly out of the area with her feet.

Before that, she recited Mister Fool's honorific name, hoping that the being would convey her current situation to his follower, Klein, so that the other party would not be too worried.

Perhaps he could ask the punishers if there was any clue to where the altar was pointing...... However, this will expose Mr. Fool's existence......"

Muttering to herself, she gripped her revolx and stepped out of the stone chamber into the corridor that seemed to lead to the endless darkness.
