Mystery: From the Shadow World

Chapter 36 Beyonder Characteristics: The Law of Immortality

"Master Steve, I feel..." Tyler, who was originally full of confidence in himself and Jason, suddenly felt a little unsure and wanted to speak up to keep them.

After all, even if Sharon and Maric escaped completely, they could still be tracked down in the future. But if they died in such a mission, their lives would be completely over.

No matter how people who have embarked on the path of extraordinaryness appear on the outside, there is no real madness inside!

Jason didn't say a word the entire time, but his eyes, which were gradually filled with ferocity and desire, and his hands that crushed the edge of the table, were enough to show that the words he had just spoken had also ignited the rage in his heart and the desire for flesh and blood that had grown out of it.

"Don't worry." Steve knew what they were thinking and finally told them the good news: "According to the Mother Tree, the 'prisoner' is currently nothing special and will definitely try to get promoted."

"In the next two full moons, our power will be even greater than before, and the curse on the other side will also intensify, enough for you in Tingen to feel his position."

"All you have to do is capture him alive."

"Catch alive?"

Tyler and Jason were both stunned, wondering what unknown truth was hidden behind these different requests.

But soon their minds were no longer occupied with these things, and they were overwhelmed by the joy of completing the oracle. Their tongues swept across the red lips and the white teeth, and their appearance, which was no different from that of a human, now showed an indescribable weirdness.

They grinned, their facial expressions gradually approaching madness. The noise of the rain in their ears was drowned out by the pleasant full moonlight in their minds, and it was so pale and powerless.

Inside the Blackthorn Security Company.

Inside the room guarding the "Chanis Gate," Dunn Smith listened quietly and calmly to the three people's narration. He then took the Antigonus Notebook from Leonard and said to Philip:
"Lawrence, your performance and achievements have surpassed my expectations. I don't even know how to express my appreciation for you. All of this will be recorded as your achievements."

"As for what you want to exchange your merits for, it depends entirely on your own wishes. You can think about it carefully." As he spoke, he opened the diary and began to read it.

"Um, Captain, will everything be okay?"

Philip blinked, feeling a little unbelievable about the situation in front of him.

In his eyes, the abilities brought by the three potions, "Insomniac", "Midnight Poet" and "Nightmare", are most likely to have no way to resist contamination. Will there be problems if he just reads them directly?

Dunn took a quick look and then closed his notebook. "Ah, no problem."

He didn't say whether there was nothing wrong with the notes, or with just flipping through them, or both.

"First, store this notebook inside the Chanis Gate and wait for Backlund's personnel to arrive in Tingen."

After Dunn finished his instructions, he looked at Philip, who was soaked by the rain, and squinted slightly, as if unintentionally saying, "Lawrence, although this is just an ordinary commission, it undoubtedly involves the mission of our Night Watchmen."

"So we will reimburse you for all your losses during this process."

so good?
Philip, who had not expected this at all, suddenly felt much happier and felt less tired. After all, the black vest had no effect at all, and the formal suit only needed a slight wash after being washed by the rain.

It would be even better if it could be discounted.
While Philip was thinking this, Dunn sent Frye, the "Corpse Collector", and Luo Yao Leiting, the "Sleepless Man", who had just returned to the company after handling the theft case, to deal with the follow-up.

As the pale-skinned man and the indifferent woman walked out of the room, Leonard shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Alas, it's a pity that our commission hasn't been completed yet, and it seems that a Beyonder is involved."

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent.

It had indeed been quite busy lately. Dunn pinched his brows, his expression unchanged. After letting Klein and Leonard recount the situation in detail, he said, "I understand. You should go and rest first."

"Let's go to the Dragon Bar in the afternoon."

After this matter came to an end, Philip returned to the upper floor with Leonard, who looked calm, and Klein, who was frowning and still thinking about something.

After seeing the so-called bard walk straight into the recreation room for the official members of the Nighthawks, he calmly placed his hand on Klein's shoulder to pull him out of his thoughts.

"Phil Lawrence, what's wrong?"

Klein, who had almost called out the wrong name, quickly reacted and asked in a very quiet voice.

However, Philip did not speak, but pointed to the clerical staff office, pulled him in, and gently closed the door.

After listening outside the door for a few seconds and making sure there was nothing wrong, Philip spoke:
"Klein, do you have money now?"

what?
Brother, are you awake?

Thinking about how he had saved up some clean wallets to maintain Benson and Melissa's happy life, he pursed his lips, trying not to sound too bitter. "Not much."

"Okay, then write an IOU."

Philip anticipated this and continued to talk to himself. Then, he reacted and looked at Klein. He said carefully, "For 100 pounds, I can sell you an extremely important piece of knowledge. Is that acceptable?"

We are from the same hometown, and we have to make money.

He has no philanthropic tendencies.

The law of immortality of the Beyonder characteristic was information that was almost unknown among wild low-sequence Beyonders. Leonard's previous performance and previous experiences also gave him a general understanding of the Nighthawks' situation.

I'm afraid that, like the acting method, it is also confidential among the officials and few people know about it.

100 pounds is considered very kind.

Important knowledge, 100 pounds. Klein frowned, feeling conflicted. However, thinking of Philip's previous attitude towards him, he nodded. "I'll pay you back."

"Don't worry, I won't charge you any interest, and you can use Russell's diary instead. Um, at least four pages."

Philip smiled and said, "Five pounds a piece."

Then he leaned his head close to Klein's ear, covered his ear with his hand, and whispered in a very cryptic voice, "The Law of Indestructibility of Beyonder Characteristics. Beyonder Characteristics cannot be destroyed or reduced. They can only be transferred from one carrier to another."

Klein muttered to himself, then opened his eyes wide, as if he had figured something out.

"To give you an example, the substance that leaked out of that clown's body after his death—that is, the Beyonder who didn't lose control—is equivalent to the main ingredient of this sequence of potions."

After Philip finished speaking, he patted the other person's shoulder and continued in the other person's dazed expression: "Have you figured it out? If you have figured it out, let's continue. There are still things to discuss."
