Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 185: MI's Raid

Upon hearing Klein's speculation, Odysseus didn't immediately comment, as he felt that if the "Hidden Sage" were to descend upon Backlund, it wouldn't require a ceremony lasting several days!
"Perhaps it's another evil deity," Odysseus said. "I've received intelligence, which I'm not sure if it's accurate, that some members of the 'Moss Ascetic Order' still worship evil deities other than the 'Hidden Sage.'"

Klein frowned. "The Hidden Sage would allow such a member to exist."

"I don't know exactly what happened." Odysseus took a deep breath and said, "I just recalled some cases where evil gods descended.

"Although the cultists took a long time to prepare, the advent ceremony didn't seem to take much time."

Klein recalled his experience in Tingen City and realized that this was indeed the case.

The process of the evil god's arrival is very fast. If left alone, it may only take a dozen minutes for the "true creator" to descend into the real world with all the previous preparations.

"I also received accurate intelligence," Odysseus said frankly, "This time, the ritual for the Evil God's arrival will take several days. This isn't like an ordinary ritual for the Evil God's arrival."

It seems like one needs to break through numerous obstacles and complete the divine descent from the starry sky.

Klein's expression also became more solemn. He also guessed that it was most likely not an evil god in the real world.

Odysseus pressed the crystal and asked again, "Have you divined where this newsboy came from?"

"I..." Klein was about to tell the results of his divination, but then he remembered that it was impossible for a Sequence 7 to predict the result of such a high-level ritual.

But Klein thought about the urgency of the situation, so he hesitated for a moment before saying, "I did some divination and saw that the newsboy came from a ritual.

"I didn't understand what that meant at the time, but now that I think about it, it should mean that the power that sustains this newsboy comes from that ritual!"

As for whether this might reveal some of his own special characteristics, Mr. Gal can only use his imagination to figure it out. After all, this guy has a lot of secrets.

But what Klein didn't expect was that Mr. Garr didn't show any doubt or questioning. Instead, he immediately asked, "Are there any detailed clues about the ceremony?"

"This person is the one who performed the ceremony." Klein took out two exquisite sketches.

This was a sketch he had drawn in advance by carefully praying to himself.

Originally, Klein didn't know the ritual was of such a high level, so he planned to provide these clues to the "Mechanical Heart" to solve his own problems as soon as possible.

Odysseus took one look at the portrait and immediately said, "Alvis!"

Then he explained, "This is a demigod of the Moss Ascetic Order."

He was the demigod who had taken advantage of the "Mechanical Heart" and "Nighthawks" setting traps at the docks and fighting the "School of the Rose" to capture Odysseus.

Klein nodded slowly. "It seems this ritual is indeed a conspiracy of the Moss Ascetic Order."

Odysseus hummed and went to look at the second sketch, which was the general structure of the altar.

In the real world, rituals directed towards the righteous gods do not require this three-tiered altar.

This reminded Odysseus of the altar he saw in the suburban castle when he faced the witch with the ability of "double passage".

The altar is also divided into three levels, and the structure is impressive.

Now it is basically certain that this altar is pointing to the evil god in the starry sky.

Odysseus said: "The clues you provided are very important."

He then continued, "I need to hand these clues over to the official Beyonder as soon as possible. Go back and don't go anywhere today. If necessary, I will come to you for divination of some clues.

"As for the reward for helping you this time, we'll talk about it after this incident is over."

Klein didn't refuse: "Okay."

After seeing Klein off, Odysseus returned to Gal's Herbal Medicine Shop. He first used the spiritual materials there to mix a black powder, and then covered the sketch provided by Klein with two pieces of paper.

Black powder was sprinkled out, and it began to gather on the two white papers as if it had life.

Soon, Odysseus got two "copies".

This is a new witchcraft invented by Odysseus. Since it is not used in daily life, even the corresponding powder is not prepared in advance.

Odysseus then rushed to the Backlund Mechanical Research Institute in a rented carriage and handed the two sketches to the "Mechanical Heart", falsely claiming that they were clues he had found.

After learning that there was no new progress in the investigation of the "Mechanical Heart", Odysseus returned to 77 Hailin Avenue.

He did not dress up as the "wizard" Gandalf for the time being, because he might still need to use the identity of Odysseus or Mr. Gar to obtain some intelligence or news.

Coming to the study, Odysseus wrote in his notebook again: I have obtained important information.

Then the waiting began again. While waiting, Odysseus sighed in his heart: Nothing can be done now before I have enough information.

After waiting for about half an hour, Bernadette's voice rang out in the air: "Is it Alvis who is presiding over the ceremony?"

Odysseus did not blame the other party for not reminding him: "The other one is a sketch of the altar."

"There are windows," Bernadette said. "So it's not in the ruins of the Fourth Epoch?"

Then she said, "I have been searching the ruins. There is more than one secret room in the ruins, and I found some clues there.

"But now it appears those clues may have been misleading."

"Not necessarily," Odysseus said, "these two windows are a little blurry. Perhaps they are some special decorations?"

Bernadette fell silent and did not express her opinion immediately.

After a long while, Bernadette asked, "Does the official Beyonder have any clues?"

"No, they are also trying their best to find the location of the altar." Odysseus replied.

Bernadette suddenly smiled and said, "Perhaps we should pray to the 'Goddess of Night'. After all, she has the authority of 'secrets'."

Odysseus took a deep breath and said, "You pray or I pray?"

"I'm just kidding." Bernadette said, "If you really pray, there's a high probability that you won't get any response."

Odysseus was now reluctant to pray to the gods: "Yes, the Nighthawk may have prayed to the goddess for help."

Suddenly, an idea occurred to him: "'Hidden Sage' has the description of 'hidden'. Could it be that he also has the authority over 'secrets'?"

"Now is not the time to discuss this." Bernadette said: "I will mobilize all our manpower to search for the altar, and I will continue to search for clues in the ruins.

"I always feel that the altar is very close to me."

Odysseus quickly asked, "If I need to contact you urgently, how should I do it?"

After a moment of silence, Bernadette's voice could be heard again: "You can pray to me. My name is: The Holy Spirit of the Pursuit of Knowledge; The Lighthouse of the Mysterious World; The Eyes that Peep into Destiny; The King of the Sea; The Holy Bernadette Gustave."

Odysseus took note: "Okay."

After Bernadette left, Odysseus suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to talk to Max about Danesi and Coremond, and he could only wait until the evil god's arrival was over before talking about it.

Odysseus waited for a while before entering the "wilderness of knowledge" through "meditation".

As soon as he entered here, Odysseus heard the fax-like voice again, and he immediately felt upset.

Soon the sound disappeared, and Odysseus saw a ball of light appear in front of his chest. This ball of light slowly floated away from his chest like a glowing balloon.

Odysseus immediately realized that this was the pollution brought by the "newspaper", which seemed to be extracted by the "wilderness of knowledge".

He wasn't worried about Klein being contaminated, because he also had the help of "source material" and could be "disinfected" like himself.

The ball of light slowly floated to the front of the tall tower composed of light balls, and merged into the tower, becoming a part of the "light ball tower".

This reminded Odysseus that a lot of the "source" on Earth was torn away from the Outer Gods.

Could it be that the "wilderness of knowledge" was also torn from the "unquenchable whispers"? Or do they have the same origin?
Shaking his head, Odysseus did not continue to think about this problem. He returned to the real world and began to wait again.

Odysseus did not release the "Newsboy" sealed in the crystal into the "Wilderness of Knowledge" because he was afraid that the "Wilderness of Knowledge" would change or have some connection with the "Newsboy".

So I can only keep it with me temporarily and observe the seal status frequently.

When night fell, Odysseus finally received the first batch of information he needed.

Ms. Mandy helped Odysseus organize the information collected by the "Nanmu Ballroom" intelligence network and sent someone to deliver it here.

Odysseus didn't even bother to eat and immediately started reading the information.

In just one day, nine extraordinary cases occurred in Backlund, with nearly 9 people dead or contaminated.

Among these nine cases were the "street dancing" case that Odysseus experienced today and the case that occurred at Backlund University.

Including Klein's case, which was not mentioned in the intelligence, there are a total of 10 cases.

Odysseus went out and bought a map of Backlund, marked the locations of these cases, and then began to study the detailed information of these cases.

It was not until after ten o'clock that he went downstairs and made something to eat.

After eating, Odysseus used "meditation" to make himself fall asleep. Before obtaining enough information and making enough correct judgments, he had to eat well, sleep well, and maintain enough energy.

Odysseus slept soundly that night, without nightmares or being woken up.

At around nine o'clock the next morning, Odysseus's pocket watch lit up again. It was a signal from No. 199 Hairun Avenue. The second batch of intelligence he needed was finally ready.

……

Hairun Avenue.

Diagonally across from the meeting place of the Occult Research Society is a clothing store, but since yesterday afternoon, it has been taken over by MI9.

At this time, Coreymond was in this clothing store, secretly observing the opposite side.

According to reliable intelligence, the "leader" issued a mission yesterday to collect some intelligence. Since yesterday afternoon, more than a dozen members have come here to trade intelligence.

As per convention, the waiter will send a signal to the "leader" this morning, asking him to come and get the information.

There are MI9 personnel observing in a hidden place, and as long as the "leader" appears in the room, Coreymond will immediately issue an arrest order.

……

77 Hilton Boulevard.

Odysseus changed into the "leader's" attire and came to No. 199 Hairun Avenue from the "teleportation array" in the basement.

As soon as Odysseus came out of the basement door, his spirit immediately sensed the coming of danger.

After pausing for less than half a second, he immediately threw a "fire bomb" towards the door.

At the same time, he shouted to the two waiters, "Get down!"

wow~
It was also at this time that the door and windows were knocked open at the same time, and the members of "MI9" who were ambushing outside rushed in.

After throwing the bomb, Odysseus immediately rushed over and picked up the information traded on the table.

A member of "MI9" raised his hand and was about to "imprison" the "leader", but saw that the "leader" was not panicked and did not seem to have any intention of escaping. Instead, he lay on the ground, as if he would not resist.

Boom~
A violent explosion was heard, and the members of "MI9" at the door were immediately blown away, with corpses scattered everywhere.

Several members near the window were also knocked over by the huge air wave and were basically injured.

Under the impact of the air wave, Odysseus' head swelled, his ears buzzed, and he crawled to the basement.

At this moment, an illusory door suddenly appeared in the center of the basement, and Coreymond stepped out from it. This was the power of the seal he borrowed from Director Celt.

Odysseus's eyes narrowed, and he immediately threw out a handful of "ice bombs".

"Imprison!" Coremond raised his hand and "imprisoned" the "ice and snow bomb".

He was about to use the "Spirit Whip" on the "leader", but he saw the "leader" lying on the ground put his hand on the second step of the stairs.

Suddenly, illusory symbols appeared in the entire basement, and the ground under Coreymond's feet began to surge. Before he could come to his senses, the soil gushed out like a spring, wrapped him up, and sent him underground.

In order to avoid revealing more information about himself, Odysseus had only left a sub-array of the "teleportation array" in the basement of No. 199 Hairun Avenue.

But after "Hound" reminded him yesterday, Odysseus set up a new magic circle in the basement to prevent anyone from blocking him inside.

And when he goes out again today, he will also bring a few extraordinary weapons for self-defense.

While Coremond was trapped, Odysseus rolled down the stairs, activated the secondary formation, and escaped from the basement.

When Coremond once again used the seal with the ability to "travel" and appeared in the basement, he saw the "leader"'s figure become illusory and the magic circle become dim.

He was slightly stunned: "So this is how this guy escaped."

Then Coreymond rushed outside and shouted, "Find an expert in occult science!"
