Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 192: Assassination Failed (13+, )

Roger knew that Duke Negan was not dead yet, and he also knew that Jason Belia had the ability to manipulate emotions and desires.

In the original novel, he used this ability to impact Duke Negan's nerves twice in a row and successfully killed the latter.

So the first thing Roger did when he entered the attic was two things.

The first action was to use Adeline's "Frost" ability to freeze all possible entrances and exits in the entire attic, especially the windows and door locks.

Under the influence of the cold, the lubricant in these locks quickly solidifies, temporarily blocking the linkage of their internal mechanisms.

A thick, hard ice crust formed from water vapor in the air also formed on the surface of the window, which prevented Jason Belia from escaping.

This was to prevent Duke Negan's guards from breaking into the attic in a short period of time, especially Duke Negan's personal secretary named Lockhard Siakam.

He was a member of the Loen Kingdom's MI5, a Sequence "Chaos Mentor" who took orders directly from King George III.

Of course, he is also a hidden member of the "Twilight Hermits".

Roger knew very well that if he let that guy break into the attic easily, he would most likely face two enemies!

His second move was to use the "parasitic gloves" to steal the opponent's "desire for control" and the "shadow" ability that could be used to escape.

Jason Belia, who was originally escaping with ease and turning into a pool of black slime, immediately felt that something was missing from him, and the emotional connection between him, Duke Negan, and the guards downstairs was cut off, which made the "Apostle of Desire" have a very bad premonition.

"A thief? And she has the abilities of a witch... No, this should be a 'shepherd'!"

The experienced Jason Belia quickly determined the opponent's footing.

Although he has the ability of "malice perception", for some reason he did not sense Roger's presence!

Jason Belia immediately launched a counterattack. He said a word to Roger in a very distorted demon language:

"Fallen!"

This is the "dirty words" of the "devil"!
Jason Belia did not try to use the "death" command, because this was equivalent to scraping for the extraordinary people of the "Secret Prayer" path who were good at using flesh and blood magic to heal themselves.

As the "dirty words" sounded, a layer of slightly sticky black liquid immediately appeared on and around Roger's body. However, before this mucus representing the abyss exploded, it seemed to have encountered something extremely terrifying and quickly dissipated!

At the same time, Jason Belia suddenly spat out a mouthful of black and red blood with a smell of sulfur, and looked at Roger with disbelief.

Just now, he seemed to have been punished in some way and was showing signs of losing control!

But before Jason Belia could take any further action, he heard the other party's question.

"Jason Belia?"

Roger looked at the other person and smiled.

"Who are you? I don't think I've ever offended the Aurora Society, right?"

Jason Belia asked nervously. He didn't know why a "shepherd" appeared in Duke Negan's mansion, nor did he know why the other party knew his name.

"Well, I'm glad it's you." Roger had no intention of wasting time talking to the other party. He knew that the Red Gloves of the Church of the Evernight Goddess had already noticed Jason Belia's existence and were about to send 1-42, a sealed artifact corresponding to the Beyonder characteristic of the "Dusk Giant" Path Sequence 4 "Demon Hunter", to kill the demon.

Not only that, Ace Snake, the "Singer of God" who has close ties with Duke Negan, is also likely to arrive here!
So he had to fight quickly and take the opponent's life in the shortest possible time and at the shortest possible cost.

Because he was afraid of being noticed, Roger did not use his "singing" ability, but raised his left hand again and connected to "Parasite" with the help of the hard control of "Shit Stirrer"!
Jason Belia had just regained his sanity and was looking for Roger, when he suddenly felt a voice coming from the depths of his mind.

It was an indescribable spiritual explosion that was enough to shatter a person's spirit!

At the same time, his "fear" emotion was suddenly amplified and completely out of control. Under the alternating influence of the two forces, the black slime that Jason Belia's half body turned into suddenly boiled, and even his head, which had not been completely transformed, exploded with a "bang"!

The "Apostles of Desire" are certainly experts in controlling emotions, but the characteristics of this path itself will make their evil thoughts and tendency to lose control significantly higher than other sequence paths!

With his shattered body as the core, a circle of black shadow quickly spread out.

But before the thing inside could devour Jason Belia's body, the circle of shadow seemed to be forcibly erased again by something!
Roger's figure quickly appeared. He watched the shadow quickly fade away with a sly smile, and then said to himself:
"It seems that the abyss also finds me noisy..."

Roger glanced at the attic door that was making a loud noise, and quickly took out the twisted soul of Jason Belia, who still had a look of horror on his face. Then he quickly picked up the latter's suitcase, threw out the "Traveler's Dice", and disappeared on the spot.

Along with it, the ice that sealed the doors and windows also disappeared.

At this moment, the door was slammed open, and Duke Negan's blond secretary Lockhard Siakam finally appeared in the attic.

He frowned as he looked at the slime and the still steaming mixture of blood and brain matter on the ground.

Because Roger killed Jason Belia so quickly, Lockhard didn't have a chance to do anything.

"This is troublesome... Is the tide of time turning its back on us?"

For the first time, Lockhard felt that things were beyond his expectations.

……

About an hour later, Roger took a cab and appeared again on St. Lawrence Street in the St. George district.

He pushed open the door of the "One Good Thing" second-hand shop, and then placed the suitcase on the table under the gaze of Amon wearing a monocle.

Roger opened the suitcase with a "swish", revealing a pile of banknotes inside.

That's a full 25,000 pounds!
This was the loot seized from Jason Belia, but considering that the money itself might be traced, it would be better to give it to Amon in exchange for something useful.

At the very least, the person who has the ability and courage to check Amon’s water meter has not yet been born.

Of course, except for Adam and the goddess...

Amon suddenly revealed a respectful smile, closed the newspaper in his hand, and asked:
"You're the boss today. What do you want to see?"

"That's all I have. Give me something I can use."

Roger spoke very briefly.
