Chapter 383: Premonition of Disaster
There is no sun, no moon, no stars in the God-forsaken Land, only constant darkness and lightning that tears everything apart.

The catastrophe has shattered the rules here, causing all kinds of chaos to pile up and intertwine, giving rise to all kinds of abnormal fears and disasters, as well as a large number of monsters hiding and peeping in the darkness.

Here, the lack of light is deadly.

The fresh flesh and blood stimulated the monsters in the God-Forsaken Land. Thousands of monsters that were deformed and twisted to the point of breaking through the human appearance showed their desire.

They approached Luke in the darkness, closing the distance in preparation for an attack, but they all trembled.

The next moment, large numbers of monsters fell to the ground and died.

Among them, the strongest ones, those close to or equal to demigods, squirmed rapidly, transformed into the same appearance as Lu Ke, and quietly guarded Lu Ke.

They were all made into secret dolls!

This is the ability that the "Fortune Teller" has acquired since Sequence Five "Master of Secret Dolls", the manipulation of spirit threads.

As a Sequence 3 “Ancient Scholar” who has fully digested the Beyonder characteristics, his ability to manipulate the Thread of the Spirit has undoubtedly been sublimated.

Each puppet can use Luke's abilities, swap places with Luke, and can be used to replace death, disease, wounds, curses, prophecies, and gaze diversion.

Surrounded by many monsters, Luke took out an ornament from the void.

The core of the ornament is a vertical eye inlaid with "diamonds". It sparkles with pure light, giving people an extremely sacred and wise feeling, but it also appears quite cold and without warmth.

Sage's forehead ornament!
Lu Ke stared at the "Sage's Forehead Ornament" for a few seconds. His arm became transparent and blurry, and appeared at a higher latitude. He aimed at the "Sage's Forehead Ornament" and gently grabbed it. It was as if the Beyonder characteristics flowing with data were extracted.

The extraordinary characteristics of the "Sage" of the "Secret Peeper" path sequence two.

Then Lu Ke raised his hand and pressed down lightly in the deep darkness.

Mystery reappears, secret!
This mysterious reappearance comes from the "secret realm" that imitates the background of the "Kingdom of Night" when communicating with the "Goddess of Night", from the secondary secrecy of the "Goddess of Night" during deeper communication, and from his repeated deconstruction and analysis of the "Mother of Secrets" during the fusion.

As a result, the space that was already shrouded in darkness became even deeper and darker, and all information was blocked.

After doing all this, Lu Ke stretched his hand into the void, and countless monsters that looked like him also stretched out their hands.

The core ability of "Ancient Scholar" - summoning "Historical Projection"!
You can summon images from the gaps in history, which can be people or objects. The more detailed you know and the more thorough your understanding, the greater the probability of summoning and the longer it will last. You can also borrow strength from your past self.

Lu Ke's hand sank slightly, and a figure was pulled out from the void, appearing in the "hidden" darkness.

After completing these operations, Lu Ke swallowed the extraordinary characteristics of the "Sage" in one gulp!
His body became illusory at a speed visible to the naked eye, decomposing into complex streams of knowledge, transforming into the form of a torrent of information.

Everything around him, whether it was the darkness that enveloped the place, the lightning that flashed across the sky, the twisted corpse of the monster, or the secret doll that was guarding him, all lost their sense of reality at this moment, as if they had been restored to the most basic and authentic information.

The core ability of the "sage" is to transform things into "information". He himself can be transformed into a torrent of knowledge and an information creature. The things around him can also be transformed into information, which can then have a certain degree of influence.

……

Tingen City, Blackthorn Security Company.

As soon as he entered the company, Klein discovered that the seats of Rosanne, Mrs. Aureliana, and others at the front desk were empty. The coffee on their tables was still warm, but the people were gone.

What's going on here?
Just as Klein was wondering, heavy footsteps were heard on the stairs, and Frye, a colleague from the Nighthawks team, walked down with a serious expression.

He said to Klein in a deep voice, "There is an emergency and this place may become a battlefield. All the civilian staff have temporarily gone back."

Emergency?
Klein's heart tightened, and he followed Frye up, only to see a large group of people standing in the lounge.

Captain Sequence 7 "Nightmare" Dunn Smith, two "Midnight Poets", Leonard Mitchell with the temperament of a romantic poet and Siga Teong, a writer with white hair and black eyes, and two "Insomniacs", the cheerful and generous Luo Yao Laiding and the short and sturdy Cornley.

Together with the "fortune teller" himself and the corpse collector Frye, all the members of the Nighthawks team have gathered.

Since the members of the Nighthawks team were taking turns to rest, they were also responsible for patrolling three places, guarding the Chanis Gate, and proactively handling certain extraordinary events. This was the first time Klein had seen such a complete team.

This also made him uncontrollably uneasy. What happened that had gathered all the members of the Nighthawks team?

Dunn glanced at Klein and Frye who had just walked in and shook his head slightly. His expression was no longer as calm and gentle as usual, but extremely serious.

"In the past week, the police station has received reports of missing persons. At first, there were only a few cases a day, then more than ten. As of yesterday, hundreds of people have gone missing."

Luo Yao frowned when he heard this: "Why do we only know about this now?"

"…The police station's telegraph just happened to be broken, and these missing persons cases happened to be dumped on the rookie policemen by the experienced policemen."

Dunn seemed to think that this reason was a bit ridiculous. He spoke quickly and in a low voice, with a bad look on his face.

"There is also a time limit for missing persons cases. A case can only be filed after three days. Under normal circumstances, unless there are extraordinary events involved, such cases are usually handled by the police."

Klein frowned and thought for a moment before asking, "Now this matter is handed over to us, is it because there are too many missing persons and the police department can't handle it, or is it because the missing persons case involves Feifan?"

"Both."

Dunn seemed a little tired and rubbed his brows to cheer himself up.

"The number of people who reported the case is only a part of the missing population. Luo Yao and Xijia found that many homeless people were missing during their patrols."

"Most of these people have no relatives or friends, and no one would care if they died, so no one reported the case. The actual number of missing people is probably more than 600."

More than six hundred people!

Klein was secretly surprised. This was already a very scary number.

Dunn continued, "An hour ago, the latest informant came to the police station and claimed that he happened to see the whole process of his daughter being kidnapped. The perpetrator..."

"According to the reporter, it was a 'creeping shadow'."

"The victim's shadow suddenly came to life and transformed into a humanoid figure covered in black shadows. It dragged the victim into the shadows and then disappeared."

He paused here, waiting for others to digest the information, before continuing.

"Old Neil tried divination, but it was unsuccessful."

Having enough clues but not succeeding in divination speaks volumes in itself.

Leonard's ears pricked up slightly and he coughed softly. "It sounds like the 'Shadow Monk' of Sequence 7 of the 'Secret Prayer' pathway. The Beyonders of this sequence have the ability to sneak into the shadows and also master some shadow magic."

"Secret Prayer" is a path mastered by the Aurora Society.

Dunn nodded slightly, his grey eyes becoming more solemn. "Most of the missing persons reported are females with no romantic experience, and their ages are generally between 14 and 20 years old."

All three conditions are normal, but when combined together they immediately make people think of "pure virgins", which are most suitable for people who are offered sacrifices!
"It's impossible for a 'Shadow Monk' to cause such a big commotion. Our enemy could be a 'Divine Envoy', a 'Rose Bishop' or a 'Shepherd' of the Aurora Society... or the person they are sacrificing in the ceremony."

Dunn made a quick decision. "Leonard, Xijia and I will go explore the enemy's position, and the rest of us will go to the guardian to receive the seal and prepare for battle." "If there is an extremely powerful enemy, we may need to lead the enemy into Chanis Gate later. Do you have any questions?"

Klein looked around for a while, and when he found that no one else spoke, he raised his hand weakly.

"Captain, should we report this to our superiors?"

Dunn: “…”

He forgot.

……

Tingen, 4 Daffodil Street.

Bernadette sat in front of the bed. This "mysterious queen" frowned, and her fierce aura made people breathless. It seemed that she was not in a good mood.

Thinking of how she was almost hugged by Luke just now, Bernadette felt a tingling sensation on the back of her neck, with both the satisfaction of her fallen nature and the fear of falling into the abyss.

This "Uncle Lu" was very cunning. He took advantage of her curiosity about her father's hometown and the delicious food she had never tasted to get close to her, and she almost fell for it!

Fortunately, I woke up at the last moment and stopped the loss in time, otherwise I would not be able to explain why I didn't resist being hugged.

The other party will definitely push the envelope and test the bottom line step by step. After the hug, there will be a kiss, first on the cheek, then on the lips, followed by caressing and flirting, and...

Bernadette took a deep breath to calm herself down. Talking about love was not for her. The key at this stage was to focus on business.

At this moment, she suddenly felt her spirituality touched, and her eyes became deep, like the sea before a storm, vast and unfocused.

The “prophecy” of the “master of prophecy”!
A vague and fuzzy picture flashed by, and the illusory river of mercury seemed to appear and disappear.

A picture suddenly appeared in Bernadette's mind.

The background of the picture is a room without any decoration. The room is covered in shadows and has no furniture. It is as empty as a coffin waiting to be buried, and it exudes an evil nature in the dim and staggered lights.

There was a slight, rhythmic noise coming from outside, like the sound of a machine running.

A woman was lying naked on the ground, with a pretty face, delicate features, and long hair scattered on the ground, like a lamb being offered on the altar.

Her eyes were gentle with kindness and maternal love as she gently stroked her belly, which continued to swell and shrink. Under her flesh, the imprint of a pair of small hands was faintly visible. In the distance, the sound of a baby crying could be heard, carrying with it endless malice and dark, evil whispers.

Around her, two hooded figures hid in the shadows, and in front of them were lifeless girls. Their bright, still steaming blood flowed slowly, slowly gathering under the women's bodies along the engraved grooves, and then disappeared into her abdomen bit by bit.

The creepy gnawing sound continued.

The next moment, a pair of baby hands, still stained with blood, stretched out suddenly and tore the woman's abdomen.

The baby cut the umbilical cord and crawled out little by little, revealing its true appearance.

He has three heads, corresponding to a boy, a young man, and an old man. There is no trace of innocence in his bright eyes, only depravity and madness.

At this moment, a cross appeared in the picture. A huge cross that filled the sky.

On the cross, a naked man was nailed with black iron nails. His arms were spread out, his feet were on top, his head was hanging like a pendant, and his body was covered with bloodstains.

The upside-down giant suddenly opened his eyes, filled with boundless malice.

The picture suddenly broke, Bernadette groaned, took a step back, and tears of blood flowed from her eyes.

She reached out to wipe away the blood, her voice vague.

"True Creator?"

An evil god formed by the fusion of the evil spirit of the "Ancient Sun God" and the deification materials of the "Hanged Man". He is the lord of the Aurora Society and a great existence followed by the "Angel of War" Medici and the "Angel of Destiny" Ouroboros.

Bernadette opened her eyes which were still stained with blood, and her expression became slightly solemn.

The picture just now is a prophecy. It is not something that really happened, but a future.

The precursor to disaster has arrived, and now is the time to stop Him.

Bernadette didn't hesitate and disappeared into the void.

……

A mysterious unknown place.

An illusory light composed of complex information concealed itself and the area.

The "Hidden Sage" wanders around this area, and from time to time it separates thousands of messy information from its own huge information flow, forming smaller strings that disappear into the void.

That is the "Hidden Sage"'s glimpse into the little-known mysterious knowledge, and it is also the process of His mumbling and knowledge instillation into the "Mysterious Peepers".

Suddenly, the illusory light stopped moving, and the complex information formed into something like a giant python, and light burst out from somewhere in its body.

That is a marked message, a high-level pollution that is difficult to remove no matter how much information He uses.

The head of the phantom giant python revealed a pair of eyelash-less, cold, and almost transparent eyes, and they were looking straight somewhere.

The direction of the God-forsaken land!
Through this mark and the connection between uniqueness and "Extraordinary Characteristics", the "Hidden Sage" felt the enemy's promotion.

His body once again transformed into an illusory light composed of complex information. The illusory light kept changing its form, as if calculating or predicting something.

But He could see nothing.

Whether it is divination or prophecy, all information related to the enemy is difficult to understand, let alone interpret.

Realizing that his ability to predict was completely useless, the "Hidden Sage" stopped using his ability, and a cold light flashed in his icy eyes.

He wants to kill the other person!
Having had this experience once, he would be able to find the other party earlier and would not arrive at the end of the last promotion.

The enemy is growing too fast. If I were a little later, and he became a god and followed the mark to chase me, I would probably be completely destroyed.

This was His only chance.

Without any hesitation, the "Hidden Sage" disappeared into the void and rushed to the land abandoned by the gods by connecting with the enemy.
