Chapter 103 Event Escalation
280
About 10 minutes ago, in the carriage outside the Kragg Club.

Ikanser Bernard, the impressive, fluffy-haired deacon who was in charge of this operation, visited again. Considering the danger and confidentiality of the matter, Klein left with him club, and sat in the carriage outside to discuss in detail.

Ikanser pressed the hat covered by the fluffy hair, sat down, and said in a low voice, "The Punisher has found Patrick Jason Beria."

"How did you find it?"

Klein was half surprised and half curious.According to the enlightenment he obtained from divination, Jason Beria has always been wearing a human skin. His real appearance and aura are not as determined, and it is almost impossible to be found so easily!Did the Punisher really find the devil himself under the human skin?

Hearing this, Ikanser roughly described what happened:

"The Punisher found clues, but this made the devil aware of the danger in advance, and forcibly killed the two Punishers before the siege closed. This made the upper echelon of the Church of Storms very angry. Singer' Ace Snake himself was in the chase, and you should have seen a gale just now, and that's what he caused."

"He is the Archbishop of the Backlund Diocese of the Church of the Storms, and one of the cardinals of the entire Church of the Storms."

It sounds normal, but it feels weird... According to my guess and Mr. Essinger, it is very likely that another person put on the "Patrick Jason" skin, so that the real Jason Beria has Opportunity to secretly accomplish the real purpose... Klein asked after deliberation:

"Are you sure it was Jason Beria who was found?"

Ikanser's expression suddenly became serious, and he replied in a rather strange tone: "I'll give it a try."

Ikanser took a breath, and took out the ancient silver mirror with strange patterns from the special pocket on the inside of his clothes. The two members of the "Mechanical Heart" who were sitting far away in the carriage also leaned over skillfully and consciously. .

"Dear Arrods, my question is the current position of Patrick Jason Beria."

The surrounding light suddenly distorted, like the lights after the rain, and a scene quickly emerged in the silver mirror:
It was a riverboat with its sails raised. Jason Beria, with high cheekbones, gray eyes, and neatly combed hair, pressed his peaked cap, turned up the collar of his coat, and hurriedly followed the crowd to the port. The boarding place is ready to walk up the boarding ladder of a passenger ship.

"He really wants to escape from Backlund! The 'Singer of God' seems to be rushing to the dock area..." A female member of "Mechanical Heart" suddenly said.

It's too easy to expose, right?Klein was full of doubts.

What Arrodes displayed in the magic mirror was a freeze-frame image that would not move, and it was not as clear as his own divination on the gray fog.Klein took a careful look twice with suspicion, and suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure on the edge of the crowded river bank.

The shadow is an unrecognizable male, with brown hair and a dark coat that can be vaguely seen.He stood at the railing on the river bank, facing the river, as if watching the scenery on the river.

The moment he saw this figure, a name appeared in Klein's mind:
Sequence 2 of the Devil Path, Angel of the Abyss, Edward Vaughan!
His spiritual intuition told him that this was the correct answer. Klein couldn't calm down all of a sudden. Looking at it again, it seemed that even Jason Beria in this frozen frame seemed unnatural. Isn't he turning his head?What is he looking back at?He should run away against time, and then find a place to remove his disguise, why is he still in a daze?Is this to see if there are any pursuers behind?

There can be many reasons for turning back, and you can attribute these thoughts to your own wild imagination, but Klein just got into such a dead end. A few big words slowly appeared in his mind, and he never A chill was felt so clearly.

"This is, the Law of Extraordinary Characteristics Aggregation..."

Even if demons have the ability to perceive crises, they cannot completely avoid this unconscious spiritual attraction!
When Klein came back to his senses, Deacon Ikanser had already finished Arrods' funny question. He was still sitting on his seat, and his hair didn't stand up. It seemed that he answered the question correctly.

"This is a bit too simple, could it be the devil's tricks?"

Klein hesitated to speak, stopped to speak and wanted to, thought over and over, thought for a long time, and thought for a few seconds before organizing his words and saying:
"What I mean is that we have to abandon some inherent judgments. Maybe what we are looking for is the 'Apostle of Desire', not Jason Beria. The two are not necessarily completely equivalent.

"That's the point I have to make as a detective."

281
The crow on Edward's shoulder disappeared.And Amon, who was wearing Patrick Jason's face, lowered his hat, messed up his hair, and used the ability of a fraudster to reduce the sense of existence of the two.In this way, they became things that everyone would subconsciously ignore, and the singer of the gods might not be able to find him unless he used a lightning storm to attack indiscriminately.

He rummaged through the pockets all over his body and opened the suitcase again, but he didn't find the "Blessing of the Mother Tree of Desire".

"So, this 'Apostle of Desire' is not the one I met. She was running away in a hurry, and she might not be the one looking for me."

"I have some new discoveries."

Amon dug into the memory of this woman from the Beria family, and successfully found some useful information:
"her name is……"

Edward looked at him.

"...It doesn't matter what it is. She came to Backlund for a special purpose. She doesn't remember much about you. She shouldn't be the 'bait' to attract you."

Amon tapped his temple with his fingers with great interest. His facial expressions matched this face very well. Patrick Jason's face was relatively thin, and he looked rather cold when he was not smiling.And Amon subconsciously made this face smile, but there was no warmth at all, only inhuman curiosity, as if it was a disguise purely for laughing.

Without Edward asking, Amon replied by himself:
"It's interesting, they came for the Abyss card. "

"...It's really interesting." Edward finally couldn't help sneering when he heard this, "I was going to give this card to them, but it was snatched by that guy halfway, so it was out of my control. For more than 100 years, no one has recited my name to open it. Now it is used by Him to lure the Beria family to assassinate Negan. It is really a calculation, and the hateful middleman has made up the difference."

Amon closed his eyes, remained silent for another two seconds, and stole a piece of memory again: "There is another message, but my spiritual intuition tells me that it is very important, and it may attract the attention of your target."

"It's okay, the person you parasitized is also from the Beria family. I don't necessarily need his soul to establish a mystical connection."

Edward said, "What's the news?"

"They got accurate information this morning. The assassination target, Pallas Negan, made a sudden move this morning and decided to go to one of his mistresses in the afternoon. The specific location is near the Holy Wind Cathedral in the Jowood District. High-end villas with glass greenhouse gardens."

"By the way, the executor of the assassination mission is named Jason Beria. It is clearly mentioned in his memory that he talked about you. He should be the bait released by the Beria family, the demon with blessings. "

this afternoon.

Amon raised his head and looked at the tallest clock tower in the city. Edward took out his pocket watch from his pocket and glanced at the hands on the dial.

The next moment, Patrick Jason suddenly turned into the sharp-looking woman from the Beria family. Without any process, the human skin was directly stolen by Amon (Amon quickly put on his right eye with a mask he just bought. monocle), and was burned clean by Edward with a random flame.Patrick Jason disappeared from the world in an instant.

Their figures distorted in place and then completely faded away. At the same time, they wandered into the spirit world and went to the villa with the glass greenhouse in the information, but the passers-by on the road didn't notice it.

A few minutes after leaving, the wind howled.

"Singer of God" Ace Snake looked down from the clouds, scanning everyone's faces carefully, but found nothing.

…………

Hearing messy gunshots and screams from a distance, he felt that Duke Negan, who had been detonated by himself as the "Seed of Desire", had completely lost his vitality. The mission was successfully completed, and the real Jason Beria couldn't help being complacent Full, evoked a cruel but pleasant smile.

But this happy mood didn't last long. In the process of fleeing the scene quickly, he suddenly felt a great crisis and fear. It seemed that a whole sea of ​​blood appeared in front of him. Jason even forgot to breathe, and the sea of ​​blood was surging The extreme terror and killing intent nearly drowned him!

not good!

It is a high-sequence powerhouse!
Why can high-sequence powerhouses lock themselves directly? !Where did the plan go wrong? Could it be that the woman has already been discovered?
Do not!Even if she is discovered, she shouldn't think of me anymore!There's no way they knew "Patrick Jason" was two people!
The deadly crisis under the hood disrupted Jason's plan.He stopped in surprise and looked around.This is the edge of a garden, where the vegetation has withered due to the cold winter, exposing the dark brown soil.

The eyes of the "Apostle of Desire" suddenly reflected a touch of silver, and a full body armor walked over from the other side of the garden.

The armor seemed unusually heavy, and every step caused him great psychological pressure.Its body is covered with radiant blood, which has a strange beauty. Seeing this blood-stained silver armor, the "Apostle of Desire" feels short of breath, as if he has encountered the most terrifying natural enemy!

Jason Beria was terrified. He mobilized all his spirituality to perceive the Extraordinary in the armor, but he fell into the sea. The armor isolated all interference, as if it was empty inside!Seeing this, Jason calmed down strangely after a short period of despair. This is indeed a fatal crisis, but something seems wrong... If it is just this armor, it may not be impossible to escape by disconnecting the tail, then he will definitely die Where do premonitions come from?
But he didn't have time to think, the silver armor slowly raised his sword, and Jason Beria had to fight.

But facing a "Level 1" sealed item with the ability of "Apostle of Desire" specially used to deal with demons, he has no power to fight back.Swipe, swipe, swipe, the silver light flickered, and after a few encounters, his remaining nine fingers broke off at the same time, and the suitcase he was carrying hit the ground with a slap.

Jason Beria's pupils shrank suddenly, seeing that he was invincible, he immediately used his unique "Shadow Transformation" ability to prepare for escape, turned around and ran.Countless silver glows burst out from his body suddenly, and the viscous black liquid covering his body fell to the ground like raindrops, and his whole body fell apart smoothly.

His limbs and internal organs were scattered all over the ground, and the blood was splashed on the ground, just like the blood on the armor, like a blooming flower.

Leonard Mitchell, who was wearing that terrifying armor, stepped forward with difficulty, looked at the broken corpses all over the floor, and said in a loud voice:
"He's not completely dead yet!"

282
The crow hovered in the air. In the corner of the secluded street, a space suddenly twisted slightly, and Edward walked out.

He looked around, but there was no one around.

Amon and He had just left the "Villa with a Glass House", and there was chaos there. The Mechanical Heart with the Church of Steam logo had taken over the villa and controlled the scene.There are corpses everywhere, and there is also a corpse of a high-ranking person who was protected in it. Just by looking at him, the devil can see countless entangled and complicated symbols of evil and occultism. There is no doubt that it is Pala Duke S. Negan.

He died, and his death would become one of the bargaining chips that shifted the balance. The turmoil in the world would intensify. The Duke was assassinated. In addition to the previous Intis spy incident, Loen had two excuses to go to war at the same time.

Edward swept it away, and soon saw human tissues scattered on the ground not far away. The encounter with Beria should have just happened here.

Severe injuries will affect crisis intuition and perception in all aspects, and mystic connection will make this low-sequence demon approach actively.The matter has come to this point, there is no need to look for the trace of the other party, just wait and see.

In order to hunt down the "Apostle of Desire", the three major churches used various reasons to seal off many places for search, and this small street happened to be one of them.The crows flying in the sky consciously retracted their wings and landed on a clothes pole near him. Suddenly, they looked to the left at the same time.

Or, look to the ground to the left.

The angel of the abyss made a move. He swiped his fingers in the air, and a burning blue-black flame appeared out of thin air. The stone brick floor was easily cut open as if a hidden zipper had been pulled open, and the edges were burnt. Hot lava twisted the air slightly.Then he lifted his palm upwards, and the underground artificial building rose with a loud creaking noise, and the location of the sewer platform surpassed the ground in an instant.

The people below were also entrusted up.

The granite platform was torn apart, the twisted pipes and walls were exposed to the air and sunlight, and a shadow squirmed like life, avoiding the crimson lava.

The space is deceived, the distance is stolen, and the shadows wander around, always lingering in place.

However, the black shadow that was supposed to be the main target seemed to suddenly lose all value in the eyes of the angel of the abyss. He didn't give even a single glance, but still stared closely at the other direction.

He said in a deep voice, "Appear."

These words are not filthy words, but they still carry unquestionable spirituality. The area polluted by the devil immediately obeyed his order, allowing a hidden figure to appear in their eyes:

The pitch-black full-body armor and the black crown outline an extremely majestic figure.

Behind that figure, the weightless cloak swayed gently as he walked forward.

Not far away, the crow sensed the familiar aura, and tilted his head curiously. In the corner behind the crow, a figure hidden in the darkness gently straightened the monocle on his right eye.

Edward didn't move, and the ghost of the "Dark Emperor" he had seen once seemed to be miraculously non-hostile. As soon as he appeared, he immediately dodged back, trying to leave the area polluted by demons.

He asked in a low voice: "Klein?"

The "Black Emperor" ghost disappeared instantly without stopping.

surprise.The demon heard a flash of emotion.

Although there is no physical body, this does not prevent the high-sequence demons from monitoring all kinds of chaotic emotions.

It seems I guessed right.

He then looked at Beria, who was no different from a dead person. He heard the almost crazy fear and despair in the other person's heart, as well as endless cursing and prayers, and even some spineless begging for mercy.With a thought in Edward's mind, all these extreme emotions were detonated in an instant. The black shadow froze suddenly, and then slowly dispersed. The breath of life disappeared in an instant, and the spirituality was absorbed by him, leaving only a pool of black water like sewage. liquid.

Afterwards, a crumbling light red light gradually emerged from the "sewage", floating into the air.

"Amon." He ordered concisely.

An obscure light flashed on the monocle of the figure in the shadows, "fraud" and "grafting" were launched one after another, and with the help of the angel of the abyss, the hidden mentor of deception successfully "Jason Beria" His identity was temporarily grafted onto Edward Vaughn, and the crumbling radiance of the spell suddenly became bright again.

The blinded object changes instantly.

From now on, the crisis intuition of the patriarch of the Beria family will be useless, and he will not be able to perceive the danger posed by "Edward Vaughn"!

Amon let out a breath, and passed his voice into the devil's ears:

"This is an angel-level shielding ability. With my personality, I can't cheat."

"With your help, I was able to succeed. But even so, the effect will only last for about two hours."

Angel of the Abyss nodded slightly: "That's enough, you've done a good job."

"Thank you for the compliment, so can I start designing the gemstone jewelry I want now?"

"can."

Edward took out a glass bottle from the collection cabinet, crushed it in his hands, and vaguely heard a short scream of a woman.

The gurgling blood flowed from his fingers, the Extraordinary characteristics merged into his palm, and the glass fragments turned into spiritual light spots and disappeared.After sacrificing a member of the Beria family, he immediately touched the ethereal mystic connection.

Complete and clear pictures and information emerged in his mind one by one, that is where the Beria family is located!

Don't worry, I'll kill you right now... Edward was about to open the door to leave when suddenly he frowned and turned sideways slightly.

A bloody sword wind whizzed past him, blowing some of his hair.

He looked towards the direction of the sword wind with no expression on his face, and saw a blood-stained silver-white armor holding a big sword, walking slowly with heavy steps.
