Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 27 The Battle Between the Two Sides

Although Klein had always known about the sensitivity of the Chanis Gate, he never expected to be attacked on his first day on duty here.

Seeing that the intruder in the owl mask was also holding a gun, Klein started shooting at him without thinking!
Logically speaking, at such a close distance, the bullet should easily hit the target, but the enemy seemed to have predicted the trajectory of the bullet and dodged the shooting three times in a row.

"What agility... What method is this?"

Before Klein could think clearly, he felt an unknown irritation rising from deep within his heart, instantly filling his mind, and even his thoughts came to a standstill!
Roger, who had used his "Troublemaker" ability, saw Klein slow down and immediately seized the opportunity to rush forward, knocking him down and disarming him.

The two of them rolled together to a place very close to the deeper part of the room, where a large number of sealed objects were stored...

In the opposite direction of Chanis Gate, Blackthorn Security Company.

Leonard Mitchell, holding a silver revolver, hid behind a huge desk, looking worriedly at the "corpse collector" Frye, whose face was even paler than usual, with a black and white "joker" playing card as thin as a knife stuck on his shoulder.

Since becoming a Nighthawk for so long, he and his companions such as Dunn Smith have dealt with countless Beyonder incidents, but none of them have been as dangerous as now.

After all, no one had dared to directly attack the Nighthawks’ base before!

The enemy, who was wearing a clown mask and was obviously a female, had extremely agile skills and fighting ability that was not inferior to his own. Judging from the opponent's fighting style, he looked very similar to the "clown" of the secret order that the Nighthawks had encountered before.

"Are you okay, Fry? I've called for reinforcements, and they're expected to arrive soon - as long as there's no ambush outside Zouteland Street." Leonard whispered.

Frye shook his head, gritted his teeth, and pulled the playing card off his shoulder. With the special physique of the "corpse collector", he successfully stopped the bleeding.

Then the two of them looked at each other and rolled out to both sides of the table at the same time.

"Whenever the sun sets in the west"

"Dewdrops adorn the evening's clothes"

"She is as pale as the moon without makeup"

"Or like the stars that accompany the moon"

……

Leonard immediately activated the special ability of "Midnight Poet" and chanted a soothing poem in a distant tone.

Seeing that the Joker's movements were visibly slowing down, Frye immediately seized the opportunity and fired two shots at the opponent's heart.

One of the two shots missed, and the other demon-hunting bullet hit the Joker's chest, instantly splashing bright red blood.

The "clown" groaned, covered his chest with his hands, staggered two steps forward and knelt down.

"Shot!"

Leonard and Frye were both delighted.

The two men held pistols and approached the "Joker" with specific tactical steps according to the combat standards of the "Nighthawks" and turned her over.

The "clown's" clothes on his chest were stained with blood, his eyes were closed and he was not breathing.

Frye breathed a sigh of relief and was about to snatch the cards from the other person's hand, but suddenly he saw the "Joker"'s mouth curl up, his eyes open, and he raised his middle finger at the two of them with a playful look.

The fatal gunshot wound in her chest had somehow moved to her right hand, leaving an irregular bloody hole.

"Mad, so hard to kill???"

Leonard reacted quickly, cursing in his mind and shooting the "Joker" in the head again.

However, unlike before, this time the opponent's head was not blown up. Instead, the whole person shrank rapidly and turned into a human-shaped paper in an instant.

The paper man quickly caught fire, and at the same time, Leonard and Frye heard the sound of snapping fingers behind them.

"Hey……"

A long sigh echoed in Leonard's ears, and the next moment, all the gas lamps in the "Blackthorn Security Company" went out at the same time.

Outside Chanis's door.

The "hermit" who heard the continuous gunshots and waited anxiously suddenly heard the heavy sound of a door opening. He was moved and looked at the dark room in front of him.

"come in."

It was Roger's voice. The Hermit felt relieved and stepped inside.

"It's so dark...even I can't see clearly."

Originally, the "hermit" could gain superior dark vision by relying on his connection with the shadows.

But for some reason, the darkness behind the Chanis Gate was so pure that even he, a Sequence 7, felt his vision was restricted.

"It might be a Nighthawk's setting... Fortunately, I brought these 'detective glasses'."

The "hermit" adjusted his glasses, and all the spiritual beings in the entire secret room appeared vaguely in his eyes as if they were glowing with different colors.

These traces do not appear on the visual level, but are more like perceptions at the etheric body level, including seals with different colors and auras.

At this moment, the glow representing "Metersbonwe" was not far from him, and deeper inside there was a figure lying on the ground, motionless.

It goes without saying that they are members of the "Night Watchmen" who are guarding Chanis Gate today.

"Well done. I'll ask Mr. C for a reward for you when I get back."

The "hermit" nodded, stepped in, and began to look for his target with the help of the "glasses".

Soon, he took out a heart the size of half a palm from a closed metal box.

The heart was pitch black and felt cold, beating irregularly in the darkness.

"That's it, 'The Evil Heart of the Shepherd.'"

the hermit muttered to himself.

This is exactly the "holy object" of the Aurora Society that "Mr. C" is looking for.

Calling it a "holy object" is just a beautifying name given by Mr. "C" to attract the attention of his subordinates. In fact, it has not reached the level of a saint.

It belongs to the Sequence 5 "Shepherd" level of the "Secret Prayer" path, and is the carrier of the Beyonder characteristics that this God's Envoy of Ahowa County needs to use for advancement.

With this thing, the "hermit" can go back and report.

However, before he could turn his head, he suddenly heard the sound of two revolvers turning.

Unlike the "hermit" who had lost most of his vision in the darkness, Roger and Klein could see very clearly at this time.

Feeling the cold touch on the back of his head and back, the "hermit" couldn't help laughing.

"Metus, you really don't think you can defeat me just by adding a Sequence 9 Nighthawk, do you?"

As a Sequence 7 warrior, he wasn't afraid of the scene before him at all.

Roger and Klein didn't bother to talk to him and just shot at the same time.

However, the bullet seemed to have hit a ball of uncertain black mist, and the "hermit" was immersed in darkness again almost instantly.

"careful!"

Just after hearing Roger's reminder, Klein heard obscene whispers in his ears and his face showed pain.

Roger was about to go over to help him, but he felt something sharp breaking through the air and stabbing towards his head.

At the critical moment, Roger's mouth suddenly opened wide.

His throat vibrated rapidly, and a sharp explosion echoed repeatedly in the narrow room, interweaving into a dense network of sounds.

【Mental Boost】!
The explosion instantly woke Klein up, and at the same time, the "hermit" who had already disappeared into the darkness groaned and broke out of his invisible state.

He held his forehead with his left hand and gasped in pain, and even the "Evil Heart of the Shepherd" fell to the ground.

The Hermit's right arm had been completely disfigured, transformed into a spike made of twisted flesh, blood, and bones.

This guy wanted to use this spike to pierce Roger!

　There will be another update later.
