Mystery: From the Shadow World

Chapter 97 An almost unsolvable conspiracy

"Klein, go get Leonard!"

That morning, Klein entered the underground passage and was about to find Captain Dunn to confirm the response from the Holy Temple when he saw him walk out of the duty office and give instructions in a rare, somewhat urgent tone.

"Team, Captain?!"

Klein saw Dunn Smith, who was supposed to be on duty at Chanis Gate, walk out with a serious expression. He immediately realized that something might have gone seriously wrong. He nodded and said, "Okay, but Chanis Gate..."

"Xijia will take care of it."

Dunn took advantage of the brief pause in his conversation to straighten out the wrinkles on his black windbreaker, which had appeared from his hasty dressing. He added, "Bring Leonard here, quickly."

Upon hearing this, Klein didn't care about anything else and turned to run out. The sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground echoed in the corridor, coming faintly from far away and then quickly disappearing.

Two minutes later.

Klein and Leonard, who had just straightened his white shirt, arrived here. Klein's cheeks were slightly flushed, but fortunately, after this period of training, his breathing was only a little heavier, and there was no other impact.

After meeting the two, Dunn gave them a few seconds to calm down before pulling out a letter and sharing the intelligence he had obtained:

"This was sent by Lanevus this morning. He said he left a bomb in Tingen that could explode at any moment. Combined with the reply from the Holy Temple, I've roughly figured out the answer."

"The response from the Holy Temple?"

Leonard, unaware of this matter, frowned slightly. Then he heard Klein's reply next to him: "It's like this. I've always felt that there have been too many coincidences in Tingen City recently. This isn't normal. I informed the captain and asked him to send a telegram to the Cathedral for confirmation."

"That's right." Leonard heard this and covered his face. After the time-consuming and laborious experience of handling two cases in a row yesterday, his expression subconsciously became strange. He shook his head and said, "What is the response from the Holy Temple?"

"Be careful of Ince Zangwill."

"Be careful 0–08."

Dunn spoke with a solemn expression as he approached Chanis's door, practically brushing against him. He added, "And the 'bomb' Lan Urs left behind, according to the call for help from the Substitute Punishers this morning, is the true Creator's offspring in Megose's arms!"

"Now, using the emergency clause, you two can choose a Level 2 seal to use."

Klein and Leonard were both shocked. Leonard frowned and said, "If we still have enough time, we just need to stabilize the opponent and wait for the Holy Temple to call for help. Is there anything uncontrollable happening?"

"Um"

Dunn nodded slightly, his eyes even deeper and more profound than before. "This morning, for unknown reasons, Megose went to the South District factory area and caused some unusual symptoms, leading to panic."

"I've already replied to their telegram, allowing them to use the Holy Relics. Of course, as the party going ahead, we also need to bring some. But on the other hand, I can't bring any Sealed Artifacts with me."

Saint Selina's ashes?
I hope the ashes left behind by this High-Sequence Expert are truly useful. Otherwise, I can only hope for Mr. Azik. Klein recalled his previous conversation with Leonard and prayed silently in his heart.

However, if circumstances permitted, he still hoped that the Beyonder teams from the three major churches could resolve the situation through the Holy Relic. After all, there was a mastermind behind the scenes, Ince Zangwill, lurking in the shadows, and who knew what he was plotting. While thinking this, he and Leonard also learned from Captain Dunn Smith about the three Level 2 Sealed Artifacts in the possession of the Tingen City Night Squad:
The name "2-030" stands for "Eternal Poison," a reference to the blood that flowed into a silver cup after a High-Sequence Powerful slit their wrists and committed suicide. The crystal-clear, moist liquid within the cup once proved irresistible to even a Sequence Five Beyonder, who drank it and died instantly.

2-078" is called the "Gate of Death". It looks like a normal wooden door. Any creature that passes through it will die immediately.

After hearing Dunn explain the abilities and negative effects of the two sealed artifacts, Klein immediately gave up the idea of choosing them and instead thought of the 2-105 he had seen before.

"Blood vessel thief." Leonard turned his head and looked at Klein, saying calmly.

"Well, you use it."

Seeing this, Leonard was a little surprised, but he nodded and said no more.

Dunn was not surprised when he heard the two's answers. He called Xiga out of the office, and the two opened the Chanis door a crack and then quickly entered.

Strange, what happened?
Philip, who was originally having breakfast at the Old Weir Restaurant, narrowed his eyes and saw Klein, Dunn, and Leonard board the carriage used by the Blackthorn Security Company, or more precisely, the Nighthawks. He muttered to himself somewhat helplessly:

"It's troublesome"

With the keen observation of a Mid-Sequence Beyonder, he roughly associated Leonard's slightly bulging white shirt with the "Vascular Thief" seal.

Even if it is not, the possibility of a sealed object is difficult to rule out, not to mention the box held by Captain Dunn. If there is no emergency, he should be holding a pipe.

Philip rubbed his forehead, put down the after-dinner coffee he had just finished drinking, exhaled slowly, and then immediately stood up and left.

There was no time to hesitate.

The two Sequence Eights and the only Sequence Seven were all dispatched, and contrary to common sense, they carried two sealed objects. Their opponents were undoubtedly powerful opponents at the Sequence Six or even Sequence Five level.

But there is little chance that it was Ince. With the score at 0-08, it is impossible for him to just show up like that, unless there is a bigger conspiracy behind it.

The Blackthorn Security Company now only has Ms. Xijia, Fry, Conley and Luo Yao left. But if we exclude the daily routines and those commissions and cases, the worst result is that there is only one Sequence 8 "Midnight Poet" Xijia guarding the Chanis Gate.

The others are all civilian personnel who have no ability to resist!
If Ince Zangwill's target was something inside Chanis Gate, he might be able to achieve his goal in an instant. Philip frowned in thought as he quickly hailed a cab, got in, and handed it three one-sol notes. He pointed to the carriage that was about to disappear from view.

"Follow that carriage, and quickly."

"Try not to be discovered, but don't lose me either. If you can do that, the extra 1 soli I paid will be yours."

The coachman, who was still a little sleepy, suddenly straightened up. After quickly confirming the authenticity of the banknote, he stuffed it directly into his pocket and said with a grin, "Sir, your sincerity gives me strength."

　I don't have enough energy to save the manuscript (sad), there is one more chapter, I will send it out before 10 pm
