Mystery: Death Singer

As dusk fell, the orange sunlight streamed through the window and shone on Edric, who was dressed in a blue-gray work uniform. He stood by the window, gazing out as if waiting for something.

Suddenly, Edric curled the corners of his mouth, turned around, grabbed a dark baseball cap from the table, and walked out of the apartment without hesitation, disappearing into the dense crowd on Iron Cross Street.

With the help of the intangible, Edric followed a hundred meters away from Klein and his companions, hoping to find the wild Extraordinary with the help of the official Extraordinary.

But as soon as he arrived at the southwest corner of the West District, Edric gave up on continuing to track Klein and the others, because in his perception, an extremely obvious and huge target suddenly appeared, like a flashbang that suddenly exploded in the middle of the night.

A few minutes later, Edric arrived at the Tasok River and saw a gray-blue two-story house with a dilapidated garden.

In the Gravedigger's specialized perception of spirits, there were a large number of spirits in this inconspicuous dilapidated building, some with lingering resentment, and others with more advanced ghostly presences. He only glanced at it briefly and found at least twenty of them!

The sheer number of spirits gathered together far exceeds the normal range.

Even though this two-story building looks quite old and lacks any signs of human activity, and its location is far from densely populated areas, making it a potential gathering place for spirits, it still cannot explain this rather abnormal phenomenon.

Edric smiled helplessly. He felt that the wild extraordinary being was most likely hiding in this small building. Unfortunately, Klein and the others had also locked onto this area, and it was only a matter of time before they found this place.

In such a short time, squeezed out of the sponge, he was not confident that he could quickly take down a strange extraordinary being who had caused widespread death, even if the dead were ordinary people.

Coincidentally, this two-story building was located in the southwest corner of the West District, right in Edric's "blind spot," which is why a large number of spirits were able to quietly gather right under the nose of a "gravedigger."

He worked at Raphael Cemetery and would return to the West District from the North Suburbs every day, even when he went out to perform late at night, he would just miss it.

Edric looked up at the other end of the street and saw the carriage carrying Klein and the others slowly approaching. He then lowered his head and quickly walked away from the area.

It was still early, and the night watchmen were better at fighting at night, which meant he had a long time to prepare, much like a hunter setting traps in advance on a game trail.

…………

The sun had completely sunk below the horizon, and the rushing Tasok River became deep and dark.

Dark clouds obscured the crimson moon, making the two-story gray-blue building look like a monster lurking in the shadows.

Under the cover of darkness, Dunn, Leonard, and Frye cautiously pressed themselves against him.

Meanwhile, on the second floor of the gray-blue building, in a bedroom without any lights on.

A young woman with a round face and a sweet appearance suddenly got up from her dressing table. Her expression turned gloomy, and she stared out the window without saying a word.

Further away, in a corner more than a hundred meters from the gray-blue building, Edric, fully armed, was ready.

To avoid attracting Dunn's attention and causing misunderstandings, this 100-meter interval is a necessary safety distance.

As a "gravedigger," Edric never lacked "eyes." Before nightfall, he used the little beetle to successfully turn several shadowy figures lingering in the gray-blue building against his will, silently transforming them into his own allies.

The Shadow is more complete than the Remnant, able to understand the consciousness conveyed by Edric well, and can provide timely feedback, even specific descriptions, making it more than capable of acting as a occult camera.

Pong!

Not long after Dunn and his men went inside, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the night.

pong!pong!pong!

Edric lowered his hat brim, listening intently to the continuous gunshots in the darkness. His brown eyes stared straight ahead, his gaze constantly shifting, as if he could see through the darkness and walls to the interior of the gray-blue building.

Ugh!

Edric heard the wind suddenly turn bleak, heard the tightly closed windows shake violently, and heard the spirits in the gray-blue building suddenly go mad.

A desperate gamble, or an attempt to escape? Edric shifted his gaze, quickly scanning his surroundings before fixing his eyes on the quietly flowing Tasok River.

If it were him, upon discovering that his enemy was a Night Watchman and unsure whether there was any support outside, he would 100% choose to escape by water.

Edric's gaze swept around, and he commanded the spirits around him to scatter and guard the various intersections before quietly approaching the area between the Tasok River and the gray-blue building.

In the dilapidated garden, Triss, clutching a flower, nimbly vaulted over the iron fence and fled toward the Tasok River.

Just as she safely reached the riverbank and subconsciously slowed her pace, about to shift her attention to the flowers in her hand, the accident occurred.

A figure suddenly emerged from the ground, and a rock-gleaming iron fist slammed solidly into Triss's waist. If this assassin hadn't been experienced and made a simple dodge and block at the last moment, this punch would have directly caused serious damage to her kidneys!

"puff!"

Even so, blood still gushed from Triss's mouth, and she staggered backward.

Just as Edric was about to give chase, he saw a large patch of black flame suddenly appear in the opponent's hand. He immediately sank into the ground again, controlling the frost spirits and other intangible things to launch an attack in an absolutely safe environment.

The black flames struck the thick ground, but had no effect whatsoever.

Upon discovering that the shameless scoundrel who had just ambushed her had slipped back inside, Triss was so enraged that blood spurted from her mouth again, and she wished she could turn the entire surrounding land upside down immediately.

Despite her rage, Triss dared not forget that three Night Watchers were watching her intently from behind. She could only glance angrily at the ground around her, then manipulated black flames and frost to force back the surrounding spirits before jumping into the Tasok River with a "plop" and drifting downstream.

At a depth of more than ten meters underground, Edric shook his head and quickly left the area with a regretful expression.

To avoid alerting the opponent prematurely, he did not choose to launch a sneak attack. Instead, he struck the strongest blow at the shortest distance and in the most unbelievable way when the opponent was most relaxed.

Unexpectedly, this woman was incredibly tough. Not only did she not fall asleep immediately, but she also used her extraordinary abilities to force him back and successfully escape.
