Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 34 The Versatile Hobert
Hobert paid the fare, waited for the carriage to go far away, and climbed over the wall with Hugh into the abandoned factory.

This place is already on the southern edge of Backlund, very secluded, and very suitable for doing some shady things.

At this time, the sun had already set, and after observing for a while, Hobert and Xio quickly rushed to the front of the factory building after finding no danger.

At this moment, a crow fell in front of the two of them.

Hobert took a brief look and found that the crow had no obvious trauma, and it seemed that it fell because it was too tired from flying in the sky.

Looking up, the crows are still circling and flying, like vultures preparing to enjoy a feast.

The spirituality of the two people had a bad premonition at the same time. Hobert leaned against the wall of the factory building and said: "I feel some kind of evil power. The seven righteous gods have something to pray for."

After a pause, he said, "I'm good at fighting, but I'm not good at dealing with evil forces!"

Hobert said: "Since none of us felt any danger, it means that although Zachary's ritual is evil, it is not very dangerous.

"However, for the sake of safety, as long as our spirituality has a sign of danger, we should run away immediately, and then report to the Orthodox Church!"

Although the spirituality of "arbitrator" and "lawyer" is not as sensitive as that of "seer" and "peer of secrets", there are still the most basic warnings of danger.

In addition, "reporting" is a common skill of the Tarot Club, and Hobert does not have any psychological pressure in this regard.

Xio nodded, without further ado, the two immediately started to act.

The factory building was very empty, only some dusty debris piled up at the foot of the wall. Obviously, before the factory was abandoned, any valuable things were sold off.

Hobert took out the gun and opened the safety. Hugh pulled out the Mitsubishi stab hidden in his trousers. The two went straight to the stairs. Before they went upstairs, they heard some movement above.

The muscles of the two people tensed up, because there was no sign of danger during the whole process, so the two of them simply rushed forward, and Hobert rushed up immediately behind.

No matter which path of potion Zachary took, both Sequence 9s, Hobert and Hugh, had the confidence to subdue each other.

Because he was afraid that Zachary would have a gun, after rushing to the second floor, Xio used his agility to make a sudden jump, rolling forward to attract the opponent's attention.

Hobert followed, pointing his gun at any movement, ready to fire at any moment.

But they didn't meet the expected fierce counterattack, and Hobert swallowed back the "don't move" that came to his lips.

In an abandoned office, there was indeed a figure. His hair was disheveled, his face was dry and wrinkled like a mummy, but his body was covered with abscesses. Pacing in front of the stage.

Hugh took out the portrait of Zachary from his pocket, and he could probably recognize that the person who was pacing was Zachary.

Hobert said: "His state is not right." It seems to be on the verge of losing control.

At this time, Zachary finally seemed to see Hobert and Hugh. His left eye was numb, but his right eye was shining with a strange brilliance.

Hobert and Hugh, who were stared at by Zachary's right eye, immediately felt terrified and uncomfortable, as if they were being stared at by a filthy and evil creature.

Hobert said, "Don't look at him!"

He turned his head quickly so as not to be polluted.

"Hahahaha!" Zachary let out an evil laugh in his dry voice, and he said solemnly as if he was reading out the will of God: "I saw it! I saw the kingdom of God!

"On the golden land, I hold a torch and look at the kingdom of God! The ancient gods are wandering on the land, they are extremely tall, they cover the sky, and they exude a dirty and painful breath!
"A gigantic crow hovers in the sky with a human skeleton in its mouth, feasting on the souls of the dead..."

These words were like a spell, causing Hobert and Xio to have a splitting headache!

Hobert fired with a trembling hand, and the loud noise of the gunshot lifted him and Hugh out of their nightmare state.

Zachary was obviously affected by the powerful evil presence. Hobert's first shot missed the target. He fired two shots in succession, and finally one shot hit Zachary's lower abdomen.

Zachary fell to the ground, unable to continue his obscenity.

But he immediately crawled to the altar, and said in his mouth: "The Lord who created all; the Lord behind the shadow curtain; the fallen nature of all living beings!
"I pray for the power of corruption..."

Subtle changes appeared on the altar, as if an evil and corrupt force was descending.

Hobert hurried forward to make up the knife, and shot through Zachary's head at close range.

This guy is actually praying for the power of the true Creator!Isn't this looking for death!

As Zachary's spell was broken, that corrupting power gradually dissipated.

The crows in mid-air suddenly yelled "Ah~", and they finally stopped circling and flying, but fell to the surrounding trees to rest.

Xio also let out a long breath. Although she didn't know much about ritual magic, she didn't quite understand what happened just now, but she knew in her heart that the evil force didn't come because of Hobert's neat attack just now. , and the two escaped unharmed.

Hobert was still worried, put away his pistol, and dismantled the altar made of discarded tables.

He took another look at the twitching corpse, guessing that Zachary might have taken the potion of "Secret Praying Man".

The "Secret Prayer" of Sequence 9 is one of the potions that are most likely to get out of control. First of all, the real creator has a great influence on the extraordinary people at the bottom, which is the ravings mentioned in Zachary's letter.

In addition, their inspiration is very high, and they can always hear some voices that should not be heard and see some things that should not be seen, so they can easily lose control.

Because of the characteristic of high inspiration, it is easy for the "Secret Prayer" to master some ritual magic, but performing rituals on evil beings will either be polluted unconsciously, or their temperament will change drastically.

Xio endured the nausea and checked the corpse briefly, and made sure that Zachary was really dead. She glanced at Hobert: "The clue is broken again."

"Not necessarily!" Hobert leaned against the wall to rest for a while, then picked up three candles from the ground and lit them according to the needs of the ceremony.

The nervousness of the first murder and the excitement of walking on the verge of death just now made his muscles tremble a little.

But now we need to seize the time for psychic communication. While drawing a symbol representing the Evernight Goddess in the middle of the candle, Hobert asked Xio: "Miss Arbiter, have you heard of psychic communication?"

Xio opened his mouth wide: "Are you still psychic?"

For wild Beyonders, psychic communication is a very advanced ritual magic.

Hobert smiled and said, "If Zachary was still alive, I wouldn't dare to communicate with my current spirituality, but now that he's dead, it's easy to handle."
