My esoteric uncle Jules

Chapter 77 The action begins

In the room, several current senior executives of the Wellington family gathered together, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

The candles were frozen in a deep red color, almost dyeing everyone's faces blood red.

"My Lord Earl, according to Sir Vesti's feedback, the plan on the Stone Islands has been exposed, and Carl is likely dead."

Sir Revere half-knelt on the ground with his head lowered, reporting the recent news to the current earl.

The Count's lips moved imperceptibly:
"Is the news true?"

"true!"

Hearing this, the Earl's body suddenly became much weaker.

"...What do you think we should do next?" He closed his eyes and murmured in confusion.

Everyone was silent.

Usually, it was the earl who made the decisions, but now he was the first to fall into confusion.

Sir Revere raised his head quietly and whispered:
"Who will take the blame?"

No matter how arrogant they were, they knew that this matter could not be easily gotten away with as before.

No one answered.

The Earl was silent for a long time, then slowly spoke:
"I will personally go and see the adult who protected my ancestors. He may have a solution."

As the Earl stood up, Sir Revere suddenly said:

"My Lord Earl, since Karl has failed, why not try again... the previous method?"

The Earl lowered his eyes and said after a while:

"...Let me ask that gentleman first."

"No, you can't ask!"

Sir Revere was so anxious that he couldn't help but stand up and said:

"No matter how the One with Controlled Fire protects us, he will never allow us to resurrect the old earl!"

The Count was about to say something when suddenly a panicked cry came from outside:

"Oh no! Lord Earl, someone is attacking the manor!"

what? !

The Earl's brain suddenly short-circuited, and he said quickly:
"What happened? Tell me slowly!"

The messenger gasped for breath and spoke intermittently:
"The manor seems to be... seems to be sealed by a ritual!"

This sudden news was like a bolt from the blue, leaving the Earl stunned for a moment.

After catching his breath, the messenger spoke very quickly:
“Just now, no one in our family could enter or leave Rose Manor, but everyone else could enter and leave normally.

According to the speculation of the adults on duty today, someone must have arranged a ritual to lock the door, the purpose is..."

The Earl waved his hand, interrupting the messenger. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and said:

"I understand, go back."

Dead silence.

"It seems that the Anti-Suppression Bureau intends to wipe us all out." Sir Revere said dully.

The Earl's beard twitched, his previous composure gone, a little anxious and a little frightened:
"How dare they?!"

……

After entering the Rose Manor, two exquisite statues stand on the left and right, as if guarding this manor that carries the glory of the past.

Jules looked at the two statues that had been carefully cared for and were as bright and clean as new, and couldn't help but spit.

Even in the Jia Mansion, they could find two clean stone lions, but in this place, even the statues are questionable.

Suddenly, he felt a dull pain in his arm.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his arm, only to see a word carved on it at some point—

action.

The sharp murderous aura dissipated, and the wound healed quickly, leaving no trace or pain.

The corners of Yule's mouth curled up slightly - judging from the method of information transmission, the centipede was most likely a transcendent of the Blade Code.

The extraordinary person of the Blade Code is called "Executioner". Just from the name, you can guess what he is good at.

He stretched himself and said lightly:
"Let's go, it's time to take action."

At this moment, the moon is high in the sky.

Yule led several team members behind him and walked in the shadows.

Because his injuries had not fully healed, the work this time was easier.

The "locking the door" ceremony covers the entire Rose Manor, but it is inevitable that there will be weak points due to its large scope.

After all, this ceremony was arranged in a hurry by them, and it was required not to arouse vigilance, so its status was not high.

Therefore, the main job of his team is to prevent anyone from escaping!

From the mansion not far away, roars, screams, and the roars of monsters could be heard.

Jules watched all this with cold eyes.

Not long after the Anti-Suppression Bureau began its action, the entire Rose Manor fell into chaos.

Even if someone had been aware of the anomaly at Rose Manor, it would still have taken considerable time to notify everyone. In that short period of time, the Suppression Bureau had already achieved considerable success, and Jules had successfully led his team in killing many nobles who had attempted to break the ritual and escape using invisible techniques.

Despite this, there were still casualties—

While they were taking action, a police officer who was a little out of touch suddenly screamed without any warning.

Jules turned around suddenly, only to see that his body had been broken into two pieces, with blood raining in the air.

Several twisted branches that resembled human limbs stretched out, pierced into the torn flesh, and began to feed greedily.

His gaze lingered on it for only a moment before he looked solemnly in other directions.

At that moment just now, there were many subtle blood surges, and the sounds gradually became clearer.

Have these twisted creations, influenced by the principles of the Cup, lost some kind of restraint and begun to release their true nature?

"What is that?!" The people around suddenly became nervous and looked at the twisted branches as if they were facing a great enemy.

The aura emanating from the branches was extremely strange, no weaker than any of theirs—even stronger!
But Jules just said calmly:

"Don't panic, keep your formation."

As soon as he finished speaking, the roots in the surrounding bushes suddenly moved.

Immediately afterwards, several twisted branches suddenly shot out from different directions, directly attacking everyone's vital points!
Yule raised his sword and slashed it down. His palm turned into a sharp blade and cut the branch that was stabbing him into two pieces.

Then, he slashed his arm, leaving a line of blood!
Whizzing--

As a slight sonic boom sounded, the branches cut by the blood line broke off.

Everyone looked around at the branches that were chopped to pieces in shock and said:
"Captain, what should I do?"

The eyes of those police officers were filled with confusion, while the two detectives from the Anti-Suppression Bureau seemed much calmer.

Jules stared at the broken branches and nodded thoughtfully.

"The main body is the root system underground."

At this moment, he even admired the Wellington family for daring to live in such an environment.

This Rose Manor is simply a time bomb—it is full of creations distorted by the Law of the Cup!

"Captain, be careful!" An agent suddenly yelled and drew his knife to chop towards Jules!

The metal gleamed with a cold luster, but it was still not as fast as the ghostly branches.

It silently pierced Jules's right chest.

Just as it was about to be cut off, it seemed to have expected it, and it suddenly retracted into the ground, bringing up a large amount of blood.

"Captain, are you okay?" Several people looked at Yule worriedly.

They are mainly responsible for assisting, but the real combat power still depends on their own detective!

If anything happened to Jules, they would be in trouble.

Jules didn't answer, but simply lowered his head and covered his chest, using the Blood Tide to stop the bleeding, with a slight smile on his face:
"You've been tricked, idiot..."

As he clenched his fist in the air, the blood that had been absorbed instantly turned into the most deadly sharp blade!
The few branches that were originally still flourishing withered and died completely at an alarming speed after just a moment.

Its main body located underground was chopped into pieces in an instant, and the fishy juice seeped out from the surface, making everyone cover their noses.

"Is my blood so easy to suck?" There was a hint of sarcasm in Yule's eyes.

Since this monster had sucked his blood into its roots, he only needed to think about it to tear the monster to pieces!

For him, this level of battle is still far from being "intense".

Although he is only at the second level, the source of his second-level abilities is more or less directly related to Si Chen, and its value far exceeds that of ordinary transcendents.

After the battle, Jules raised his head slightly.

Suddenly, he saw a figure moving stealthily in the darkness in the distance.

The mansion nearby was burning fiercely in a fire, the flames flickered, and a fierce flame suddenly exploded, and the scattered fire clusters illuminated the man's face for a moment.

After seeing the man's face clearly, Yule narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Sir Revere?"

Although this person did not confront him directly, he believed that the assassination that night was definitely related to him!

It's really a narrow road for enemies...

"Two agents will follow me, and the others will return the same way. If we meet other teams on the way, we will meet them." He made a quick decision.

The confrontation in Rose Manor has escalated. If it involves confronting the extraordinary, they will become a burden to themselves!
After a while, Jules finally quietly moved to a place not far behind Sir Revere.

He felt somewhat helpless - in the end, he still had to act alone.

The stealth ability of those two agents was still a little lacking, and only I, with the help of my moth cloak, could get close enough to the other party to get to a fatal distance.

At this moment, Sir Revere was groping at the edge of the sealing ceremony, as if looking for something, and was completely unaware of Jules's approach.

Jules scratched his wrist with his fingernails, gently cutting it open and causing blood to gush out, far more than he had previously used.

His eyes were extremely cold - he was going to kill the other party before he even noticed him!

At this moment, Jules suddenly heard a slight sound of breaking - but it came from outside.

His pupils suddenly shrank.

Not long ago, he personally participated in the ceremony arrangements.

Therefore, he immediately understood what this voice meant.

Someone is trying from the outside to break the opening ceremony of the sealed manor!
