Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 338 Pollution
ho-

The Gou San family deserves a beating just as the legend says.

Luke frowned slightly. The clown in a tuxedo in front of him was a "magician" of Sequence 7 in the Fortune Teller Sequence Pathway, from the secret organization "The Secret Order".

The Secret Order was founded by the Zaratul family. Their leader, Little Zaratul, was a "Secret Servant" of the Diviner Path Sequence 1. The Antigonus Notes were circulated on the market due to a mistake made by a member of the Secret Order. Welch bought them as ordinary ancient books, which led to the tragedy that followed.

They wanted to retrieve the notes, but Klein had already entered the sight of the Nighthawks, so they could only monitor him secretly and try to find the right time to find clues from Klein.

Theoretically, the people responsible for tracking and surveillance do not need to use Sequence 7. In a small place like Tingen City, the Secret Order only has one Sequence 7 "magician" and one or two lower-sequence subordinates.

The high probability that they met was because the "aggregation" on Lu Ke had not yet dissipated, causing the "magician" to temporarily decide to follow him in person due to some factors.

"That's good. We have found the materials for Sequence 7."

Luke chuckled. His Thief would be digested quickly, and the Trickster would melt in his mouth if handled properly. It was time to worry about the Beyonder characteristics of Sequence 7 and even Sequence 6.

Although in fact I just became a "thief" this morning.

The promotion speed of ordinary people does not apply to him.

Luke took a focused step and followed him into the alley where the clown in a tuxedo with red, yellow and white paint on his face was.

The Magician is a Sequence 7 in the Fortune Teller Path. He possesses stronger fortune-telling and anti-fortune-telling abilities than the Sequence 9 Fortune Teller. He has various ritual magic and mystical knowledge, which are derived from the physical coordination ability of the Sequence 8 Clown and the danger warning based on spiritual warning, as well as the Magician's own fast casting, bone softening, paper soldiers, illusions, flame manipulation and jumping, damage transfer, paper doll substitutes, air bombs...

He is very good at saving his life and average in frontal combat. His abilities are very useful. All in all, he is one of the most powerful and versatile ones in Sequence 7.

However, divination and danger premonition did not work for him. He should not have discovered himself...

Lu Ke's thoughts suddenly seemed to dawn on him, and he walked into the alley with his long legs.

Da da da!

The tuxedo clown still had a mocking smile outlined by colors on his face. After Lu Ke walked into the alley, he immediately turned around and ran away. The alley was piled with debris, but he was as agile as a curly-haired baboon and dodged them easily.

Lu Ke followed with a smile on his face, and with the sound of hurried footsteps, they soon reached a darker and quieter place.

At this moment, he pushed off the ground suddenly, sprinted to the front of the clown in tuxedo, stepped sideways, raised his arm and swung his fist, and his fist with the sound of wind hit the clown's face.

boom!
The air exploded, and the figure of the Tuxedo Clown shattered like a mirror and dissipated in the air, while a new Tuxedo Clown quickly appeared behind Luke.

Illusion!

He still had a mocking and funny smile on his face. With a flick of his wrist, a long piece of paper appeared in his hand. He decisively chopped it towards Lu Ke's neck. The seemingly fragile paper cut through the air like a weapon.

Make soldiers out of paper!

Luke, who was prepared, suddenly lowered his upper body to avoid the sharp blade, and kicked the clown in the crotch with his right leg upside down.

boom--

The Tuxedo Clown disappeared again, and a paper man replaced the original him, just like when Luke caught him outside before, he used the paper man substitute just before being disabled.

The figure reappeared, but this time the clown had only a fake smile painted with oil paint on his face. He held down the half-high silk hat on his head with one hand and raised the other hand. He suddenly snapped his fingers several times in succession, and his lips slightly opened and closed, making an onomatopoeic "bang" sound.

boom! boom! boom!
Lu Ke noticed something and took a few steps back. Suddenly, one or two bullet marks appeared on the ground. The magician's air bullets were not very powerful, but they could still cause serious injuries to a fragile human body, and it was difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

However, he actually had a gun too.

Luke pulled out the pistol from his waist, raised his arm and aimed at the Tuxedo Clown, then pulled the trigger at the nonchalant figure.

Snap, snap!
Several blood flowers bloomed, and the Tuxedo Clown barely used his strong body coordination to avoid fatal injuries. There was a frozen surprise on his face, and the danger warning did not play any role at all!
Lu Ke fired calmly and efficiently. His precise, fast and unpredictable attack instantly made the enemy panic. This was the result of the eyesight, concentration and control that was beyond the limit of an ordinary person!

The Tuxedo Clown took two steps back and quickly snapped his fingers twice. Several flames ignited within a thirty-meter radius. His figure shuttled through the flames. At the same time, his right hand touched the bullet hole and moved it to his arm. When he reappeared, the bullet hole had healed, and bullet holes appeared in unimportant places on his arm.

Wound transfer!

The situation did not improve. Every time the Swallowtail Suit jumped out of the flames, it would be shot head-on with a precise and deadly bullet. This made him so busy that he could not fight back and could only use illusions and paper doll substitutes to deal with it.

“Are you still spiritual enough?”

While Lu Ke was shooting, he sneered at his opponent who was suppressed by firepower, "I'm surprised you didn't run away in this situation."

As a magician who is good at saving his own life, Lu Ke really couldn't be kept without some effort, but the clown in tuxedo in front of him seemed to be fighting with him to the death, with no intention of running away.

boom!
Another gunshot rang out.

Luke slowly lowered his raised right arm, blood slowly flowing out from his right shoulder. A bullet penetrated there, forcing him to stop shooting at Tuxedo Clown.

Deep in the alley, two figures emerged. One of them had a clown mask painted in red, white and yellow, while the other was dressed ordinary and plain. They raised their guns and aimed at Luke.

Another member of the secret order!

Luke was not surprised. Even though the spiritual warning was useless, the Tuxedo Clown still found him, so it was obvious that he was not acting alone.

The figure of the clown in a tuxedo, freed from the continuous shooting of the revolver, shattered, and when it was redrawn, it appeared in front of the two subordinates.

He still had that ridiculous smile on his face. He looked at Luke's injured right shoulder and laughed so hard that his stomach twitched, but no sound came out of his mouth, as if he was performing a silent pantomime.

Then, he took off the half-high silk hat on his head, placed it on his chest, bowed slightly to Luke politely, and spoke for the first time.

"As a Sequence 9, you performed very well. Will you answer the questions honestly or wait for me to kill you and then communicate with you?"

"This should be a full selection. There is a time limit for psychic communication. You want to ask me questions in advance and then kill me to confirm the psychic communication."

Luke dropped the revolver and raised his hands, disarming himself in a gesture of submission.

"Don't worry, I'm a very honest person. I'll take the initiative to confess now."

His action made the three of them relax a little, but they still maintained basic vigilance and did not move their guns. But they ignored that sometimes killing people does not require direct action.

The corners of Luke's mouth curled up a little bit, and his tone was calm, "There are nine Old Ones around the earth. They are the Fallen Mother Goddess, the Mother Tree of Desire, and the Uncertain Mist..."

Snap, snap!
The sound of two guns falling to the ground was heard!

Just as Luke said the word "Old Ones", the faces of the three members of the secret society, including the Tuxedo Clown, turned as pale as death. They stopped all movements as if they had lost their souls, and their eyes became extremely dim.

"Ahhhh-"

After a short pause, shrill and desperate howls rang out in the deep alley, as if evil spirits from hell were suffering the harshest punishment. The flesh under the skin of the three secret society members squirmed and deformed violently, as if a living insect was swimming, and hideous blood vessels spread all over the body.

Knowledge is poisonous!

The information of the Old Ones will be polluted and corroded if known by angels below Sequence Two!

A saint with divinity might be able to barely survive, but would be polluted and turned into a monster. Low-sequence cannon fodder would have no other way but death.

Amid the tragic wails, Lu Ke slowly bent over to pick up the pistol, and fired three times at the defenseless enemy.

boom! boom! boom!
The bullet penetrated the brain accurately, and the paper man substitute that needed to be actively activated failed to work. The three corpses stopped transforming and fell to the ground.

Lu Ke walked up to the corpse, humming a little tune, and quietly waited for the extraordinary characteristics to emerge.

Because they died in time and the three were only low-sequence extraordinary beings, the contamination would not be that serious, and a purification ceremony could be held later.

Ordinary extraordinary people don’t have this treatment. Apart from the ceremonies where the gods automatically respond, they basically won’t respond. But after all, Lu Ke is a “favored one by the gods.”

After a moment, several slightly turbid Beyonder characteristics slowly emerged: one Sequence 7 "Magician", two Sequence 8 "Clowns" and one Sequence 9 "Fortune Teller".

Lu Ke put away his Beyonder Characteristics and left quickly.

The noise just now was a bit too loud, especially because of those shrill howls that were so creepy to hear. If you stay there for too long, something bad is bound to happen.

He was not too worried about being discovered. The people in the secret society were also worried about being exposed to the official sight, so they deliberately stayed away from the crowd before fighting him. There were no cameras in this era, and he had just arrived and had little contact with outsiders. Mystical divination and other means were also useless to him.

……

ten minutes later.

Dunn Smith, dressed in police inspector uniform and with a slightly higher hairline, and Leonard Mitchell, who was patrolling the North District today and had the air of a romantic poet, arrived on the scene.

Dunn looked at the two clowns with painted faces and another ordinary-looking man with a crystal pendant on his wrist. He put on gloves and carefully examined the body.

His expression gradually became serious. "They are members of the Secret Society, a fortune teller, a clown, and a Sequence 7 who should be a fortune teller."

“Three Beyonders, including a Sequence 7, died together?”

Leonard could not hide the shock in his eyes, this configuration was not low, because the "Made-in-China Punishers" under the Church of the Lord of Storms, which was not a weak force in the coastal cities, were only at this level. How could they be wiped out?

"It's more serious than you think. They were all shot to death. They had no resistance at all. This way of death is very strange."

Dunn lowered his head and pondered. "A fortuneteller can predict good or bad luck, but the opponent may have the ability to counter-divine, and can control the enemy... Could it be a Sequence 5 'Wrathful Spirit' of the 'Alien' pathway? Perhaps we can ask Old Neil to communicate with him, but I don't know if it will be too late."

At this moment, an old voice sounded in Leonard's ears.

"Don't communicate with spirits. Their souls have been polluted, a kind of pollution that only angels can know and speak of."

Angel! ?
Leonard's expression suddenly changed.

Even in ancient times, Sequence Two angels were known as Sub-Gods. In the Fifth Era when extraordinary power was declining, they were even rarer. There were very few important figures in the Church of the Seven Gods who could reach the level of angels.

How could a person of this level come to a small place like Tingen?
……

A house with a green lawn on the outskirts of Tingen.

Behind the bedroom window of the house stood a desk with an ordinary notebook spread out on it and an ancient-looking feather pen writing on it without anyone holding it.

"Ince Zangwill planned to use various coincidences to secretly corrupt Dunn Smith, the captain of the Night Watcher Squad of the Church of Evernight. When he was in a trance, he used the captain's authority to take out Saint Selina's ashes from the Chanis Gate and use them as materials for advancement to Sequence 4."

"To this end, he set up many obstacles for Dunn Smith, including the pollution of Antigonus's notes, the pollution of the real Creator in the secret organization Aurora Society member Heinus Vannerson, the death of teammates, and repeated use of magic potions."

"But something went wrong. Klein Moretti, who was supposed to die in the plan, managed to survive and even joined the Nighthawks. This was insignificant, but it became the prelude to the collapse of the plan."

"...Due to unknown reasons, a vortex that attracts extraordinary characteristics appeared in Tingen City. No one knows what this vortex is, how it came about, and what it affects. Fate is in chaos, and the information in the spirit world is also in chaos. Even 0-08 is unclear about the direction of things. This is really a magical thing."

"Laneverus wanted to commit a fraud. This was part of his role as a fraudster, but it was also his nature. He targeted... the air? He committed a fraud on the air, and was then killed by the air?! This is so weird, so weird!"

"Riggins, a member of the Secret Order who was eager to retrieve Antigonus' notes to make up for the omissions, and two of his subordinates followed Klein, the last person to see the notes. He found himself being followed by... air? He gave the air a mocking smile and ran deep into the alley to fight with the air alone?"

"Two subordinates followed him, but they were soon killed by the air... No, it was definitely not air. Apparently, someone has appeared to disrupt the situation. Ince Zangwill's plan is absolutely impossible..."

The feather pen records the story gracefully, which somehow gives people a sense of schadenfreude.

Just then a pale hand grabbed the quill and continued writing.

"…the possibility of inevitable failure."

"The death of the Secret Order was too bizarre. Because of various coincidences, it was spread out. In addition, the abnormal celestial phenomena some time ago caused panic among the people. The Night Watchers had to patrol overtime, which made the Aurora Order members Sirius Arepis and Heinus Vincent particularly uneasy."

"With the help of Lanevus and Ince Zangwill, they have successfully made Megose pregnant with the offspring of the evil god 'True Creator'. They can sacrifice the entire city of Tingen as soon as the offspring of the evil god is born. This cannot be wrong. After thinking it over again and again, they notified their superior in Enmat Port, Mr. Z, the envoy of the Aurora Society."

"Mr. Z is a shepherd of the Hanged Man Path Sequence 5, and he happens to have the extraordinary characteristics of the Gate Path Sequence 5 Traveler, so he immediately rushed to Tingen City to escort the birth of the Hellion of the Evil God!"
