Mystery: From the Shadow World

Chapter 35 Murderer
Philip picked up the wet black vest, then looked at the formal coat he had just thrown away not far away. He sighed, blinked, and seemed to think of something. He said to Klein:

"It's a pity you didn't channel the spirit. If I remember correctly, the secret order has mastered your 'diviner' path. Maybe they can even channel the subsequent formula."

Klein was startled when he heard this, then looked behind him and shook his head in a strange manner, saying, "I'm not a 'psychic'. I need to perform a ritual to communicate with spirits. I don't have the materials right now, and I'm not sure."

He spoke calmly, but his heart seemed to be bleeding. He just hoped that Ms. Daly would appear by his side now and help him obtain information and formulas with the help of the incomplete spiritual power of this tuxedo clown.

Too bad it's totally unrealistic.

Philip looked at Klein, who was holding an umbrella. He then took out the Antigonus notebook and handed it to him. "Here, take this. Don't get it wet, and don't read it carelessly."

Leonard, who had only taken a few steps not far away, raised his hand and was about to say something, but Klein had already taken the notebook.

The latter was stunned on the spot.

In the brief seconds that Leonard approached, Klein's dazed gaze gradually regained focus. He covered his head and shook it gently. "Horner, Chis..."

"What do you mean?"

Leonard asked with a frown, but to be on the safe side, he still carefully took the notes from Klein after obtaining his consent.

Klein blinked, his tense body relaxing. He said, "I heard it the moment I touched the notebook."

"You and this notebook are truly destined to be together." Leonard tucked the notebook under his arm with a complicated expression. "Let's go. Lawrence's commission involves too many things. It's best to call the police as soon as possible."

At this moment, the body of the tuxedo clown also began to move strangely, and a ball of blue blood fell off from his wrist at some point.

Extraordinary characteristics?
Philip's eyes flickered, and a little greed arose in his heart, but he rationally did not move. Instead, he let Leonard come forward and use the silver box to put away the extraordinary characteristics of the Tuxedo Clown.

Even though Klein had some basic understanding of the Extraordinary realm, he still had no concept of Extraordinary characteristics. He immediately asked:
"what is this?"

"Hehe." Leonard smiled faintly and didn't answer directly. Instead, he said meaningfully, "The bodies of Beyonders always undergo certain changes. You'll get used to it. Perhaps this is something extremely important? Who knows."

That's so important.

Philip listened calmly, nodding slightly with an expression that said, "I've learned something." But he was thinking, "A low-sequence official Beyonder, don't you know the law of the indestructibility of Beyonder characteristics?"

It makes sense. After all, if it is exposed to a certain extent, it will easily cause chaos.

After retrieving the Beyonder Characteristics, the three of them walked along the road in search of the police. Philip, unable to suppress his curiosity, asked the two people beside him, "By the way, why are you here?"

If the previous developments in the reception hall hadn't gone wrong, Klein and Captain Dunn should have been handling the missing persons case. Instead, not only was Leonard the one who handled the case, but they also inexplicably bumped into him.

Leonard and Klein exchanged glances upon hearing this. The former blinked his left eye in a hint, and after a two-second silence, the latter began to explain, "The young man from this morning was named Eric Brondi. Our speculation and investigation suggest that his father, Joel, went missing after visiting the underground trading market near the Dragon Bar."

"Because we saw witnesses, it seems that Joel was stalking someone and left the dragon to go somewhere else."

Philip stroked his chin. "So you followed the clues and tracked them to this area?"

"That's right." Leonard spread his hands and said, "But after arriving in this neighborhood, Klein's divination was disrupted, and it was unsuccessful from beginning to end. Then we met you on the road."

"What a coincidence," Philip lowered his eyes slightly and said in a low voice without any emotion.

Inside a three-story building, Tyr leaned against the window, his gaze fixed on the battle outside, his scarlet eyes gleaming with excitement. "It makes me nostalgic. Back then, I was so weak, I really wanted to crush them all~"

"Boring." Jason's dead eyes remained unchanged in the room. He stroked the table with his fingers and commented indifferently, "You are also weak in my eyes now. If you don't mind, I can beat you up."

"Besides, has your brain been stunned by the curly-haired baboon? You're killing people here so brazenly. What we're most afraid of right now is that the target will leave!"

Tyr was so confused by this that he didn't know what to say. He could only snort and reluctantly sat back in his chair, retorting in a low voice, "Who told him to seek death by following me?"

"And who was it that couldn't resist his thirst for blood and skinned and devoured that guy alive? Humph. After satisfying his lust, he's now acting pretentiously here!"

The two people's sharp gazes met in the air, but they finally withdrew them with restraint.

Not long after, the door was opened.

Steve walked into the house with steady steps, his dark green eyes scanning the two of them, then he adjusted his hat and said in a deep voice:
"News came from Backlund that Maric and Sharon seem to have discovered we've been transferred and are now trying to completely escape our pursuit. We don't have enough manpower there."

bump--!
The moment "Werewolf" Tyr and "Zombie" Jason heard the news, they immediately slammed the table and said excitedly, "Master Steve, let's go. No matter what, we can't let them go!"

"I know, but this is the Mother Tree's mission after all." Steve narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone gradually changed from deep to a little excited:
"So next, I'll take the 'Crimson Moon Corona' and secretly return to Backlund. I'll set up traps and completely eliminate them. At the very least, I'll make these Rose School outliers pay a heavy price!"

"Master Steve, what about us?"

"I need you to succeed within two months."

Steve looked at the stunned Tyr and Jason, closed his eyes, and breathed steadily for a few seconds. Then, in his calmest tone, he explained, "This has never happened before. The Mother Tree has sent down an oracle again, with the same request as before."

The gods have sent down two identical oracles, which is equivalent to putting aside their pride and urging!
Tyr felt his heart tremble. He had originally confidently believed that the only difficulty in solving the problem of the "prisoner" was to find him, but now he suddenly felt unsure. In his mind, he was already imagining the open and secret struggles between the gods.

That Sequence 9 "prisoner" is one of the gods' favored ones who are hostile to the Mother Tree?
