Chapter 213: "1-42"
The "Apostle of Desire", who had once been dressed in Patrick Jason's human skin, immediately stopped and looked around in disbelief.
It was only now that he was vaguely aware of the danger coming.
He was on the edge of a garden that had been withered by the cold winter, revealing a black-brown soil.
On the street on the right, there were not many pedestrians on weekday afternoons, and there were no anomalies at this time.
The "Apostle of Desire" suddenly had a silver flash in his eyes, and a full-body armor walked over from the other side of the garden.
Its left shoulder slanted down, stained with congealed blood, exuding a strange beauty, seemed to be very heavy in itself, and the ground shook slightly with each step.
As soon as he saw this blood-stained silver armor, the "Apostle of Desire" felt that he was not breathing, as if he had encountered the most terrifying natural enemy.
How did it come so quickly? They saw through my tricks so quickly? The "Apostle of Desire" regained his composure, regained his cold blood, and his whole body was infused to sense the emotions and desires of the extraordinary person in the blood-stained silver armor.
However, what made him desperate was that the silver armor completely blocked his extraordinary abilities.
It was as if he had touched a stone, and he had touched the cold armor without a wearer!
The "Apostle of Desire" had to raise his right hand and spread his huge bat wings, which quickly condensed with a little blue flame.
At this moment, the silver light flashed at the tiger's mouth in his right hand, and his thumb fell to the ground, and the incision was neat.
Brush, brush, brush, the silver light flickered, and the remaining nine fingers of the "Apostle of Desire" were broken at the same time, and the suitcase he was carrying also smashed to the ground with a snap.
The pupils of the "Apostle of Desire" suddenly contracted like the tip of a needle, and he immediately agitated the pair of huge bat wings behind him and fled quickly in the other direction.
The shadow on the soles of his feet shrank unconsciously, hiding in one place.
The "Apostle of Desire" had just run two steps when countless silver rays suddenly burst out from his body, like fireworks in full bloom.
The viscous black liquid covering his body rained down, and the fractures on his forearms, arms, shoulders, ribs, neck, and other parts smoothly spread out.
Bang bang, the pale and blood-stained intestine of the "Apostle of Desire", as well as the wriggling stomach pouch and the contracted and bulging heart all fell and spilled all over the ground.
Where he stood, the bright red blood was the thickest, and the further he went, the more splattered it became, forming a beautiful flower of death.
A strong man in Sequence 5, an "Apostle of Desire" who had just completed an impossible assassination, was dismembered without any resistance.
This is the "Level 1" seal.
This is the seal "1-42", which once cost more than 100,000 lives!
Leonard Mitchell, wearing that terrible armor, took two steps forward, glanced at the broken corpses all over the ground, and raised his voice:
"He's not completely dead yet!"
He paused, and added:
"Different demons have different characteristics, this 'Apostle of Desire' is the shadow, he has just abandoned his body, leaving only the shadow. ”
"Requiem" Sost instructed some of the night watchmen and members of the "Machine Heart" to "keep ordinary people from approaching" while surveying the scene and listening to Leonard's words.
He took out his pocket watch, looked at it, and asked with a solemn expression:
"It's only ten minutes, is that enough?
"No problem!'1-42' has locked him in, and I feel the excitement of it. Leonard said without hesitation.
Thorst spread his red-gloved fingers and said to the other night watchmen:
"You guys take hot water, follow Leonard closely, and if there's a problem, replace it immediately, and dig the 'bathtub' on the spot!
"Also, leave a mark, and I and the rest of the team will follow quickly. ”
Kicking, kicking, kicking, the blood-stained silver armor began to run and chase after it, seemingly heavy, but incredibly fast.
Sost watched the Red Gloves leave, and turned to Iconser:
"Deacon Bernard, you lead the rest of the Mechanical Heart to that house to watch over the Duke's guards and the rest of the people alive on the scene. ”
"Guards?" Iconse subconsciously asked.
Sost nodded and said:
"How can the 'Apostle of Desire' be sure that the Duke will go to that house today, even down to a certain point in time, so as to properly lead away the 'Singer of the Gods' in advance?"
Iconse suddenly realized:
"Are you saying that a member of the Duke's Guard, or someone trusted by the Duke, is an accomplice of the 'Apostle of Desire'?"
Otherwise, the time difference would not have been so well grasped!
There is no possibility of success in the so-called action!
"It can only be said that this reason has the highest probability, and it cannot be ruled out that there is a master of prophecy hidden behind the 'Apostle of Desire'. Sost didn't say more, and led the second group of night watchers, following the imprint, to reinforce the teammates in front.
With a calm face, Iconse led the remaining "Hearts of the Machines" back to the residence of Duke Negan's mistress.
He looked up at the pale sun behind the thin mist, and knew that the situation in the entire Baekland, and indeed the entire kingdom of Rune, the entire world, would be changed by today's events.
............
In the dark sewers, a shadow was sticking to the bottom of the stone wall, moving quickly in a certain direction.
He had to take advantage of the fact that the blood-stained armor was tall and heavy, and it was inconvenient to move around some narrow areas of the sewers, and he wanted to shake off the other party!
And every distance the shadow travels a certain distance, it stops and freezes there.
His pitch-black surface swelled and solidified continuously, as if it was about to grow new flesh, but it was impossible to succeed due to the lack of materials.
The "Apostle of Desire" let out a painful gasp, feeling that he could fall into an out-of-control hell at any moment.
He relented for a while, not caring about reducing the harm of the problem, and continued to run for his life, fearing that the terrible blood-stained silver armor had quietly chased after him.
............
Inside the Cragg Club, Klein entered the break room and walked to the toilet with a newspaper.
He is worried that the "Apostle of Desire" will escape ahead of time, leaving a hidden danger for himself and innocent private investigators such as Issinger Stanton and Kaslana, so he is ready to go to the gray fog to do another divination to confirm the current situation of the other party, so as to adopt a targeted strategy.
Repeating the previous process, Klein sits in the position of the Fool with a paper man, manifests Jason Beria's handkerchief, and divides the opponent's current position.
In the gray dream world, Crane saw the sewers without light, saw a living shadow, saw the other party seemed to be filled with flesh and blood but always failed, and saw him shed some fine black dust.
The image then rises to the ground level, revealing a towering church.
Basilica of the Holy Wind ...... Klein opened his lightly closed eyes and grasped the situation of the "Apostle of Desire":
The other party really wasn't caught, but it seemed to be seriously injured, and the state was very wrong, and it was a bit weird!
His suitcase was also missing...... I think I discarded it when I was injured...... Klein thought for a moment, and using the method of divination, recalled the map of Beckland, and made it appear in front of him.
Similarly, he produced a rough layout of the Bakeland sewers.
- He has been collecting similar information when he used to make full use of the sewers, focusing on the East End, the Beckland Bridge area and the Joe Wood district where he is located, and after hard work, he has already completed the first phase of the goal, figuring out the main layout of the sewer network, and then refining it, it will take a very long time to persevere, and sometimes, Klein even wants to sneak into the Beckland City Hall and peek directly at the corresponding blueprints.
Based on the two maps and the images seen in the previous "Dream Divination", Klein found that Beria, the "Apostle of Desire", did not flee in the direction of the Tasok River, but instead went straight to Hilston, as if he wanted to cross it and enter the area of Queens with an artificial lake.
"In other words, he's getting closer and closer to me......" Klein's heart moved, and a sudden thought suddenly occurred.
Although I can't be sure which way he would have crossed the sewer, I can tell if it is combined with the way of divination...... He was seriously injured, and he was in a very strange state, and the interference in this regard became extremely weak, and it was not impossible to find him when he was not far away, after all, I had seen him as he really was, and I was sure that he had a little breath...... Looking for people, I'm a professional...... Something had to be done, and he couldn't be allowed to run away like this! Time was in time! After confirming the level of danger, Crane made up his mind and returned to the real world.
He took out the candle and quickly set up the ritual, calling himself and responding to himself.
It didn't take long for there to be a figure in the bathroom wearing black full-body armor, a pitch-black crown, and a cloak of the same color, which was none other than Klein, who had been spiritualized and carried the "Black Emperor" brand.
He also "contained" magical items such as "sun brooches" and "biotoxin bottles" to ensure that nothing was lost.
Then, he disappeared into thin air and left the cragg club in the other direction.
At this time, Crane can fly, so he is extremely fast, but he does not make a noise of the wind because he is a spirit.
He "scraped" a tree and took away a dead branch.
Using the real appearance of Jason Beria who he had seen before, the slight breath he remembered and the handkerchief as a medium, Crane used the "divination rod method" and combined with the layout plan to quickly determine the sewer where the other party passed.
Drilling into the dark and foul-smelling place, Crane passed through a large number of narrow areas as fast as he could, entering a more spacious area.
The dark river flowed, and the mixed smell permeated the surroundings, and he changed direction from time to time to chase Jason Beria.
............
The "Apostle of Desire" almost lost control again, and hurriedly paused, clinging to the damp walls and cold pipes, trying to restrain the bloodlust and killing desire in his heart.
Whew, whew, the thin shadow rose and fell.
At that moment, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the place he had just passed.
The pitch-black full-body armor and black crown first caught his "eye", outlining an extremely majestic figure.
Behind the figure, the weightless cloak swayed gently as he walked.
............
"It's nearby!"
A heavy blood-stained silver armor climbed down the iron ladder through the entrance into the sewers.
