Secrets: Priestess

Chapter 62 Robbery
On the quiet road from the suburbs to the city of Yangen, three carriages with triangular holy emblems printed on them sped past.

In one of the carriages, tied up were the "instigator" Tris and the "assassin" Ermo, who were captured by Claire herself.

Ebanks and two other team members, fully armed, also squeezed into the middle carriage.

Tris and the other man were injected with drugs and fell into a coma, with their hands and feet tied.

They were previously held at Blackthorn Security Company.

What made the Nighthawks helpless and regretful was that the two men had too little information in their heads. Even if they tried hard to pry open their mouths, they still could not get more information about the Gnosis Society and the Witch Cult.

After the Night Watchers' inquiries made no progress, after communication between the Night Watchers and the Mechanical Heart, since there were experienced auxiliary Beyonders within the Mechanical Heart, these two were transferred to the Holy Number Church and handed over to the Mechanical Heart to attempt to investigate.

Unfortunately, the Mechanical Heart did not gain any more.

As the agreed deadline approached, Ebanks had no choice but to lead the team to escort the two men back to St. Selina Church.

Suddenly a horse neighed.

In Ebanks's sight, the carriage running in front veered and crashed into the bushes beside the road.

There are enemies!
The two carriages behind were also affected and forced to stop.

Ebanks, carrying his modified high-pressure steam rifle, told his team members to keep an eye on the criminals and got off the carriage alone.

The three team members in the third carriage also hurriedly ran out. Some of them stood guard on the spot, while others went to drag their teammate who was knocked unconscious from the first damaged carriage.

Ebanks approached the horse that fell to the ground, screaming and struggling. On the blood-stained ground, the horse's legs seemed to have been cut off by something sharp. The broken limbs fell not far away, and blood was spilled all the way.

Suddenly there was gunfire.

Ebanks raised his gun and turned around. A team member guarding the rear fell limply to the ground. Behind that team member, a masked woman in a black tights appeared.

The dull dagger in her hand was stained with the blood of his teammates!

The person who fired the shot was the team member on the other side guarding the rear.

But the gun in his hand seemed to be pulled by a silk thread, forcing the muzzle to point upwards.

Amidst the intense gunfire, the woman in tights stabbed the teammate who fired the shot in the shoulder with a dagger.

It was clearly not a vital point, but Ebanks watched helplessly as the teammate who fired the shot seemed to have lost all his strength and fell to the ground.

Ebanks wanted to shoot, but a strong sense of threat forced him to retreat.

At the spot where he had just stood, a huge sharp ice spike rose from the ground!

Before Ebanks could do anything, he felt his body go rigid.

Although the ice crystal spear condensed in front of him did not hit him, the cold air spread from the ice spear covered the surface of his body, forming a layer of crystal frost!
"what--"

Amidst the roar, a scorching red light flashed from the modified high-pressure steam gun in Ebanks' hand!
Ebanks poured all his spiritual energy into the gun, and the special demon-hunting bullets that shot out of the barrel burned with flames and collided with the woman in black like a small fireball!
The scorching heat emanating from the bullets and the gun melted the surrounding ice, allowing Ebanks to regain his mobility. At the same time, the flames wrapped around the bullets also burned away the dense spider silk that the woman in black had arranged around him.

The modified firearm held by Ebanks is surprisingly an extraordinary weapon!
But when the bullet was about to penetrate the woman in black, the woman suddenly disappeared.

When the woman reappeared, she had actually dodged to the first carriage. Where the woman had landed, the remaining horse blood had frozen, like a deep red mirror.

The dull dagger in the woman's hand easily pierced the back of a Mechanical Heart member standing next to the wrecked carriage.

Just like the two people who were stabbed before, the stabbed person collapsed to the ground.

The one closest to the woman at this moment is the "Combat Scholar" in the Mechanical Heart.

The senior Beyonder pounced forward and tried to restrain the woman in black.

But seven black flames suddenly swirled around the woman and shot towards the "Fighting Scholar" like bullets, forcing the "Fighting Scholar" to roll backwards continuously to get away.

Ebanks raised his gun and fired.

The woman seemed to sense something and looked back at Ebanks.

The charm in his black eyes made Ebanks delay pressing the trigger for a moment.

At this moment, the woman in black retreated back into the shadows.

Ebanks switched his weapon to rapid-fire mode and fired in the direction where the woman disappeared.

However, pain came from the lower back.

But the sleepiness was more intense than the pain, making Ebanks' eyelids extremely heavy.

Under the crimson moonlight, a dull dagger silently pierced his lower back.

The heavy extraordinary gun in his hand fell to the ground, and Ebanks' whole body fell forward.

Without the threat of Ebanks, the remaining members of the Mechanical Heart were hunted one by one by the lightless daggers that attacked from the shadows. After eliminating all the Mechanical Heart members, the black-eyed woman in a black tights walked over to the bound and unconscious Tris and Ermer.

His cold black eyes scanned the two unconscious people.

Both Tris and Ermo have delicate looks, and they look like innocent boys when they are sleeping.

There was a clear hint of resentment in the woman's black eyes. She picked up the high-pressure steam rifle left by the Mechanical Heart with one hand.

Like swinging a giant stick.

It hit Ermo hard on the head.

A swing of the gun shot the head, and it exploded like a watermelon.

Throwing away the gun stained with disgusting liquid, the woman in black dragged Tris up from the other side, took out a small box and shoved it into Tris's seemingly harmless face.

The strong pungent smell choked Tris and he woke up with a cough.

Tris opened his eyes and saw the tall woman looking down at him. He asked blankly, "Who are you?"

The hand that was holding him suddenly loosened.

Tris fell to the ground.

At the same time, a bronze box that looked like a book fell on him.

A woman's lazy voice came from above: "Someone in Backlund has taken a fancy to you."

Tris' pupils constricted. The box in his arms had an ancient, mottled bronze shell and a star-shaped lock hanging next to it.

This is the magic box where the organization stores potion materials!
This woman is from the organization!

The organization sent someone to rescue him!

However, before Tris could feel happy—

"Take it and get out of my sight."

The mysterious woman's soft and lazy voice contained a chilling murderous intent that Tris was extremely familiar with.

Tris held the magic box tightly in his arms, not daring to look at it any longer.

He broke free from the broken rope, staggered, and fled into the endless darkness without even daring to look back.

……

At dawn, Claire had just asked Leonard and the others to take over the follow-up of the Hainas case.

Claire, who had been planning to take a short break, was a little confused when, under the guidance of the police officer, she saw Sharon sitting quietly in the reception room of Tingen Police Station.

Haner, the Meazza family's full-time coachman, also sat awkwardly on the other side.

In addition to Sharon and Haner, there are also a group of members of the Mechanical Heart.

However, all the members of the Mechanical Heart were in a mess and had injuries on their bodies.

Claire also saw Ebanks, with a bandage wrapped around his waist, hiding in a smoke-filled transparent compartment in the distance.

Seeing Claire coming in, Ebanks put out his cigarette and walked over to her.

His face was filled with bitterness and confusion. "A woman with black eyes and black clothes attacked us. Ermo died, and Tris was rescued."

"But for some reason, the attacker didn't kill us... She seems to have a dagger that can put people to sleep."

Then he pointed at Sharon who was sitting in the distance looking at this side,

"It was Ms. Sharon and Mr. Haner who were passing by who woke us up."

"Although it was that lady who saved us, she and her driver also saw things that ordinary people shouldn't see..."

"In order to promptly treat the seriously injured teammates, our team member Khalid was unable to avoid their sight while performing ritual magic..."

"Due to confidentiality regulations, we can't just let them go..."

Claire had a bad feeling in her heart: "Even if the secret was leaked, the confidentiality regulations have strict procedures and measures...Why did you ask the police to summon me here?"

Ibanks paused, looking embarrassed. "Mrs. Sharon is now taking refuge with the Meazza family. This is the hottest news in the Tingen aristocratic circle..."

"I personally think that it would be more appropriate to leave Mrs. Sharon, who was accidentally involved in an extraordinary incident, to you, a Night Watchman and a member of the Meazza family, to handle it."
