Chapter 140 Unblocked!
Wei En took another look at the information on the panel and confirmed that except for these few prompts, the rest were information on skills that had been upgraded with points. He couldn't help but show some doubts on his face.
The talent of deception is formed by distortion after being corroded by the power of unknown origin...
During his promotion process, was there any original power that eroded his body?
Could it be the power of disaster that caused Tina to become deformed?
Apart from this, Wayne couldn't think of any other possibilities.
However, his talents have become abnormal and his promotion has been completed. Why is he still here?
"Brother, can you promise me something?"
Wei En came back to his senses and looked at the girl sitting obediently in front of him - she had the same black hair and red eyes as him, she was about fifteen years old, and she was very healthy...
"Can you tell me your name?"
"Um?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, and her face bulged again. It seemed that her long-simmering emotions were interrupted by his words, and she said in a low voice: "Estil Loft, brother bastard, how long are you going to pretend?"
"Estil..."
Wei En read it several times, wondering if it was his imagination. There was a faint throbbing deep in his heart, as if there was something in it... But he found nothing when he looked carefully.
"You just said you wanted me to promise you something?"
"Hmph!" Estil turned her head and pouted as if she didn't want to talk to him.
"Tell me."
Wei En didn't care about her attitude. Whether this was an illusion or a dream, he just wanted to leave here quickly.
After returning to the Clown Theater, he had to check the situation outside to determine the future path as soon as possible.
Obviously, after the corpse explosion technique accidentally killed those investigators, it was no longer possible for him to stay in Custer.
"Can you promise me that if you leave the family in the future...well, don't forget me?" Estelle's anger came and went quickly. As she spoke, she quietly looked at his expression from the corner of her eyes. I'm worried about his refusal.
Um?
Wei En frowned subconsciously. On its own, this sounded like a request, but it was nothing, but when combined with the memory obtained from his predecessor - she did not exist!
Or, can it be said that all memories about her have been forgotten?
"I knew I couldn't..." Estil noticed his expression and lowered her head sadly.
"I promise you!"
Before she could continue, Wei En spoke.
"Really?" Estelle raised her head happily, "You agree?"
Wayne nodded, "Yes, I agree..."
For some reason, he felt vaguely that this illusion was probably not caused by the promotion ceremony, but by the girl in front of him...
A big smile appeared on Estelle's face, and she stretched out her hand with only her little finger showing, "Pull the hook."
"Forehead……"
"Hook!"
Wei En looked at her smiling face and laughed too. He hooked his little finger with her and covered it with his thumb as if making a fingerprint.
"You must remember, brother Wei En..."
"Uh-huh?"
Just as Wei En was about to say something, he saw that the surrounding space became blurry, and even Estelle's clear face slowly overlapped into countless phantoms...
Is that really the case?
After a while, Wei En fell into deep sleep again.
[Congratulations, you have awakened your natural ability...]
…
…
At this time, outside the high wall in the southern part of the city-state of Castor.
From time to time, some city-state residents carrying lanterns and fleeing for their lives in a hurry were rescued by the priests of the Church of Storms outside the high wall, and were guided to join the team of Faith Storm.
"Woooo...praising the storm..."
"It's so scary. The entire city-state is out of control. Those people are like crazy. They kill people on sight..."
"There are still many people who have not escaped and were polluted by the red moon and turned into monsters. If the dark clouds behind had not obscured the red moon, I might not have been able to escape."
After these people experienced the crisis of Red Moon pollution, attacks by aberrations, and harassment by thugs and thugs...when they saw the people of the Church of Storms, the tight strings in their hearts relaxed.
"Praise Lady Storm!"
When Bishop Naik saw the sacred light pillar disappearing over Krims Cathedral, a look of admiration appeared on his face, "He really did it."
"Your Majesty Bishop?"
"You can go..."
Bishop Naik saw the black malicious lightning within the high wall, "First focus on rescue, and at the same time arrange a rune circle in the Ruhr neighborhood to seek the protection of the Storm Lady."
"clear."
The guardian knight wearing the dark blue full-body armor of the Church of Storms nodded solemnly, then turned around and waved to the army of clerics behind him.
"Set off!"
"For the glory of Lady Storm!"
The tens of thousands of magnificent Storm Church troops shouted in unison with serious expressions.
Immediately afterwards, under the watchful eyes of the priests responsible for staying behind and the residents who had escaped, the army marched towards the city of Custer in order.
"Woooo..."
"I hope everyone else is safe..."
"Praise the storm!"
"Praise Lady Storm!"
Those who escaped from Custer saw this scene and were still frightened by what happened in the city-state.
If they hadn't been lucky enough to escape quickly, they might have been in trouble.
Bishop Naik glanced around and saw these ordinary people, as if he had seen the future Church of Storms church standing in the city-state of Custer, with believers coming and going to pray for blessings. A smile appeared on his face unconsciously. The long-cherished wish of all the bishops on the east and west coasts finally came to fruition today...
"May the Storm Lady bless them!"
As he murmured in a low voice, dots of weak blue fluorescence penetrated the dark clouds over the city of Castor and fell, raising a gentle wind and blowing over all the clergymen in the army.
On the other side, the investigators of the Secret Investigation Department in various parts of the city-state have also achieved some results at this time.
The sealers and retired investigators led by Balazs were the fastest and had already penetrated into the residential area of Idrisu neighborhood, killing dozens of thugs who took the opportunity to cause trouble, and also eliminated those aberrations that were contaminated by the clouds. kind.
"Balaz, is it okay for Master Nifa to stay there alone?"
"Um?"
"I always feel that the situation over there at the church is not good..." An old investigator who had retired for many years looked at the black lightning over the church with a solemn expression.
Balazs glanced at it, then turned around and continued to move deeper into the Idrisu neighborhood. He said in a hoarse voice: "Advance quickly, and we must eliminate all the aberrations before dawn."
"Attention, all groups, once a second-level aberration is discovered, alert it immediately and I will go over and solve it!"
"yes!"
Balaz sighed inwardly. Although he didn't know Nifa's purpose, in the current situation, he could only choose to believe that she could be more careful.
Otherwise, the Secret Service, which was already traumatized by Alais's departure, would be even more unsustainable in the future.
The combat department led by Abbott in the Basil neighborhood and the logistics department led by Dorf in the Ruhr neighborhood were doing the same thing, trying to restore order to the neighborhood as much as possible.
"Lacie, who was that beam of light just now?"
"It should be Archbishop Andrews praying for Dawn's response..." Lacey hesitated, "It seems that there is something going on inside the cathedral."
"Who would attack the cathedral at this time?" Marco shook his ponytail and looked much more relaxed. "What happened tonight is too weird. It doesn't feel like it was the work of the Ernst family."
"Of course not them."
Yegor carried the black knife and killed the aberrations that appeared around him one by one. He frowned and said: "Lacie, apart from the last time when Wei En went to the cathedral to perform a mission, what other changes have occurred in Tina recently? ?"
Lacey looked at the little figure in the cathedral and was silent for a long time. "Except for the clown doll she was holding in her hand, there is no change from before."
"That's strange..."
"I also find it very strange." After hearing their conversation, Marco touched his chin and looked thoughtful. "Although Tina has been deformed before, she has never changed as much as she does today."
"And have you noticed that Tina looked very strange after the clown lost control."
Having said this, Marco paused, thinking about words that could accurately describe his thoughts, "I feel like she is being manipulated..."
"Control?!"
Lacey and Yegor's hearts trembled. After looking at each other, they seemed to see what the other was thinking - Alais!
"Minister, what do you think?"
"Well... it's very possible!" Yegor frowned, "No one in this city-state knows Tina's situation better than him. And do you still remember how many days she was away that time?"
"Three days!" Lacey said with certainty: "I remember clearly, on the third day after Tina left, ah...he asked you to tell me to go and pick her up."
"What are you talking about? What three days? Her?" Marco looked at them suspiciously.
"It seems so..."
Yegor exhaled a long stream of smoke and stared in the direction of Krims Cathedral, "Now I seem to know the purpose of Director Nifa staying there..."
"But why did he?" Lacey was shocked. "Furthermore, both Abbott and Deputy Director Balazs have checked and confirmed in the Laos neighborhood before. How could he hide it?"
"The developing potion is not a panacea. There are many abilities that can avoid its effects." Yegor's voice was low. "If it was really him, everything that happened tonight... would be explained..."
"Um?"
"I'm afraid it was caused by that incident. That's right. Even I couldn't let go of the pain of more than half of the investigation department's casualties, let alone him..."
"What, who are you talking about?" Marco was furious. He understood every word the two people said, but when combined, he just didn't understand who they were talking about.
Lacey ignored him, suppressed the shock in her heart, and gritted her teeth and said, "Do you want to go over there now?"
"No!"
Yegor shook his head, looked at the figures of Dolf and others in front of him, and followed them, "Whether it's him or not, we can't participate there."
"But what should Tina and the Joker do?"
"When that time comes, we can only temporarily withdraw from Custer."
Withdraw...
Lacey bit her lip and looked back at the sky above the cathedral in the distance. There, two figures with white hair and black eyes, one large and one small, seemed to overlap, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.
Tina, I'm sorry...
"ah--"
When Marco saw them walking away like nothing happened, he couldn't help but yell angrily to relieve the restless thirst for knowledge in his heart.
Damn it, it’s already here, why are you still playing riddles?
Hum, I won’t share any secrets I have from now on - I’m going to kill you!
…
…
At the same time, inside Krims Cathedral.
Alais walked slowly through the corridor depicting the mural of the Dawn Church's victory over the Goat Clan, and came to the door of the confessional, "Come out."
"Old guy, is he the old friend you mentioned?"
Two figures in black robes slowly emerged from the shadows in the corner.
One of them, the figure with a curvy figure, was obviously Claire, who had left a message to Wei En to be careful. She looked at the figure in front of the confession room and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Director Alais?
I heard from other puppets that he is dead...isn't he dead?
The person next to her didn't answer her question, but looked at Alais who had broken an arm, and sighed with some emotion, "Where's Andrews?"
"died."
Alais dragged the forbidden object with his intact arm, slowly turned around, faced the two of them, and said with a smile: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
"Well, it's a pity that I didn't catch up and see him for the last time..."
Another figure pulled down the hood on his head, revealing an equally old face. It was Old Jack, the retired investigator previously disguised by Black Jack.
"Old Jack, I've been waiting for so many years, and I'm just about to take the last step, haha..."
"Hahaha……"
Under Claire's surprised gaze, the two old men with old faces and gray hair suddenly exchanged fists and laughed in unison.
Who can tell me what is going on?
Inexplicably, she was taken to Krims Cathedral, where she saw two mysterious, obviously uneasy and well-intentioned old guys who looked like their plan was succeeding...
"So, you...are in the same group?"
Alais glanced at her, suppressed his smile and asked, "Is the eternal life going to happen?"
"Ang," Claire crossed her arms, her mind spinning rapidly, and she had some bad premonitions in her heart.
These two old guys have bad intentions when they get together, right?
"Did Menor never tell you about me?"
Menor?
Claire's thoughts were interrupted, and then she remembered that Menor had asked her to send a letter to the director of the Secret Service Department, saying that he was an old friend...
"Of course he mentioned it, and he specifically asked me to say hello to you."
"Well, let's come together, just in time..."
Alais nodded noncommittally, then pushed open the door to the confessional, took a deep breath and said, "Did you bring that thing?"
"certainly."
A statue quietly appeared on Old Jack's hand - the upper body was a majestic humanoid, but the lower body was eight arms like octopus tentacles. Each arm was covered with sunken eyes with a strange red color. There is a awn, and there is a pair of open flesh wings on the back of the statue.
So ugly...
When Claire saw the statue, especially those dense eyes, she subconsciously turned her head.
Um?
Is that a totem statue with original spirituality?
Claire's heart was shocked. The reason why she turned her head just now was actually a preventive reaction transmitted from her own origin to her body!
"The Seres family..."
"They are all dead too. Those Basques who still wanted to bring this statue to influence the altar in the Nightless City were killed by me."
"Really? It's really easy for them to let them die so easily." Alais snorted and walked into the confession room first.
"Let's go."
Old Jack motioned to Claire next to him and followed Alais in.
"What are you planning to do when you come here? No, don't tell me. That," Claire did not follow, but took a cautious step back, "Can I wait for you outside? I promise, I will not run away."
Old Jack glanced at Alais in front of him and saw that he didn't look back. It was already clear to this point that the plan could not be changed anymore, and he sighed secretly in his heart.
"It's too late."
As he spoke, his arm suddenly shot out several tentacles to wrap around Claire, and he followed her into the confession room.
"Hey, old guy, I've been so cooperative with you these past two days, just let me go at this time..." A trace of vigilance flashed across Claire's face, instead of struggling, she looked pitiful. Begged for mercy.
She knew very well that she could not escape with this old guy's strength alone.
What's more, there is an obviously stronger Alais ahead...
Damn it, that bastard Menor must know something. Was it premeditated for me to put aside Kland's arrangements and come to Custer temporarily?
"Are you sure that forbidden object is here?" Old Jack ignored her and walked quickly to Alais and asked.
"Um."
Alais looked at the dim, windowless confessional, illuminated only by a few wall lamps burning candles.
Several dark oak tables extend neatly from the door to the deepest part, where there is a row of carved screens to block the view of the outside world. Behind that is a place where the ascetics listen to the sins or troubles of the believers.
"It has been detected by the investigators before, and it is here."
Alais signaled him to put down the statue, his eyes suddenly turned dark, and he looked around with extremely dark and terrifying malice.
"Forbidden object 0-34 revives the coffin!"
"Forbidden object 0-34 revives the coffin!"
"..."
After the exploration was fruitless, Alais had to compromise with fate and used the oldest method to summon him to obtain the forbidden object, hoping to get a response from it.
"Ales, you..."
Old Jack frowned. Using this method, even if they find the resurrected coffin, they may be facing a forbidden object that can get out of control at any time...
Forbidden items! ?
Claire's eyes widened, and she suddenly remembered that Wayne had said before that the parchment they would lose forever contained a forbidden object, and its name...
"So it turns out that you stole that volume of era relics from the Eternal Life Society?"
"steal?"
Seeing that Old Jack couldn't stop it to no avail, he couldn't help but smile, "That epochal relic is a forgery. Alais and I have known the contents on it for a long time."
"Know? How do you know... Menor told you?" Claire asked in surprise.
"Well, that's him. That was nineteen years ago. I remember that Alais and I were adventuring together with Menor, who we met by chance near the city-state of Yado in the Western Continent..."
"adventure?"
Claire blinked, it turned out that they had known each other before...
But why did Menor never tell her this?
"Yes," Old Jack sighed with a look of reminiscence on his face: "At that time, we were strangers to each other. At that time, Menor..."
"found it!"
At this time, Alais interrupted his conversation, and several black lightnings appeared on his body again and shot toward a bulge above the screen.
There was no expected roar of the wall breaking. The moment the malicious force touched the wall, it disappeared silently as if it was being swallowed.
"Old Jack!"
Before he could say anything more, Old Jack had already picked up the statue and threw it there.
Under Claire's gaze, the statue with its original spirituality slowly blended into the wall.
Bah!
After a sound similar to air leakage, the wall twisted and wavered, creating ripples in circles.
Immediately afterwards, a dark object slowly popped out from inside. It was a coffin that was completely black and had a strange creature pattern engraved on the top.
The creature seemed to be composed of countless nebulae, and the circling arm strings were connected to form an unreal humanoid creature. The position of the eyes was pitch black, as if it could suck people's eyes in. .
"Xusu..." Alais looked at the appearance of Xusu's coffin carefully, feeling filled with emotion in his heart.
However, he did not dare to read out the full name of the forbidden object to prevent this powerful forbidden object from falling out of control.
"According to what it says, using it requires sacrificing the original power." Old Jack seemed to have thought of something and hesitated: "If the power is not enough, I'm afraid you will..."
"No, I've already prepared everything."
Alais waved his hand, turned around and glanced at Claire, a smile appeared on his old and pale face, "Let's get started, Old Jack."
Claire was so stunned by his black eyes that she couldn't help but ask: "Do you plan to use the power of that forbidden object to resurrect?"
When she was in the Eternal Life Society, she read some records about forbidden objects.
There is a paragraph that describes the forbidden object 0-34's resurrected coffin - it came from the endless sky, fell into the forbidden sea, and was taken out by the deep sea monster. It has the terrifying ability to revive dead creatures. The creatures revived by it will be reborn, and the process of life will be infinitely extended until the era changes.
After the era changes, there is no relevant record of what will happen to the resuscitated people.
"hehe."
Alais grinned, making his smile look even more sinister, "It's your honor to witness all this."
Pooh!
Claire cursed secretly, she didn't want to witness this, what a bullshit honor.
Alais turned his head and looked at Old Jack with a complicated expression, "Let's get started!"
Old Jack sighed, and the arm that grabbed Claire slowly moved towards the direction of the resurrected coffin.
"Wait, I..." Claire's expression changed, and her original power sent a frantic warning, telling her to stay away from the forbidden object.
"Forbidden object 0-34 revives the coffin!"
"Forbidden objects..."
puff!
"Uh," Claire's shout stopped, and she looked down at the dark arm that penetrated her chest, "You——"
"What are you waiting for?!" Alais's malice became even deeper. Dozens of black lightning shot out around him, and he became angry inside!
After hearing his words, Old Jack quickly moved Claire over the resurrected coffin, "I'm sorry, Ms. Claire, if you are still alive, I will apologize to you..."
"I……"
Before she could say anything, she only felt a sharp pain in her body, "Ah——"
Poof!
There was a muffled sound, and Claire's entire body was crushed by the giant hand, and blood dripped from her intact feet onto the pattern on the top of the coffin.
"Menor said that when the Eternal Life Society sealed it, they used a special sealing method. Only the blood of those who have the mark of their Eternal Life Society can unseal it."
Alais watched this scene coldly, "Originally, I wanted to wait for the right opportunity to lift the seal again, but I didn't expect that the Church of Dawn would set up many priests in this cathedral."
"If it weren't for Tina, maybe I would never have the chance to get it..."
As the blood dripped onto the resurrected coffin, the black paint on it slowly melted away, revealing a silvery white color inside. The top turned into the color of the blue starry sky, and the pattern also became more dynamic and profound.
"Unblocked!"
