Mystery: Death Singer

As Leonard tries to charm Megas and lure her into the underground, Siga quickly returns to Charis Gate, intending to retrieve the sealed artifact "2-105" as Leonard requests.

Klein, on the other hand, remained in the corridor to provide assistance to Leonard as needed. This could be by firing a bullet to snipe Megos, or by deliberately appearing to distract Megos.

The plan was well-thought-out, and Megos was in good condition. If nothing unexpected happened, they were very likely to successfully complete this difficult task and lure Megos underground and even into the interior of Charis Gate.

But life is always full of surprises, big and small.

On the way down to the underground, Megos suddenly stopped. She stood on the long, dark steps, clutching her hair in anguish.

Clumps of her beautiful blonde hair fell out, revealing deep, bone-revealing bloodstains that quickly covered the woman's beautiful face.

Klein and Leonard, who had witnessed everything, almost couldn't breathe, but they knew this wasn't the right place for them. They could only slowly retreat while forcing a smile:

"Ms. Megos, are you feeling unwell? We can look at the information about Lanius another time. Why don't we take you to the hospital first? In any case, your health is the most important thing..."

Perhaps it was the name "Lanius" that had an effect, because Megaius's scratching movements slowed down noticeably. She raised her head and smiled with her face, which was covered in hideous bloodstains and looked extremely horrifying:

"I...I'm okay...Where's the data...?"

Hearing Megoss's increasingly ethereal voice, Klein swallowed hard and forced a comical smile, saying:

"It's right below, you'll see it soon."

"Okay..." Megos glanced at Klein with her lifeless eyes, then took a step and staggered deeper into the ground.

Klein and Leonard, like mice seeing a cat, immediately clung tightly to the sides of the stairs, watching Megas pass by them.

Throughout this process, Klein gripped the "Sunfire Talisman" tightly in his pocket, ready to unleash its power at any moment by reciting the incantation.

Even though this distance might risk injuring himself, Klein didn't care anymore. He was determined to bring Megoo to the Charnis Gate, even if it meant forcibly knocking her off the steps!

Leonard tilted his head slightly, his gaze subtly sweeping over Klein's jacket pocket. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, which quickly turned into delight.

He didn't know where Klein's "specialness" came from, but he was absolutely certain that the stronger his teammates were, the more likely they were to overcome this challenge.

If Leonard can successfully obtain the sealed artifact "2-105", he is confident that he can demonstrate his "specialness" and will definitely not disgrace the name of "protagonist".

Klein felt the journey to Charness Gate was incredibly long. When the familiar intersection finally appeared, he spoke before Leonard could:

"Ms. Megos, just go straight ahead. The database we use to store Lanius's information is right in front of us."

Without pausing, as if she hadn't heard Klein's explanation at all, Megas's pace slowed down compared to the beginning, but her goal was very clear: she headed straight for the location of Charnis Gate.

Less than a minute later, a large black iron double door engraved with seven holy symbols appeared directly in front of them.

Standing there, it immediately evokes a sense of heaviness, coldness, and looking down, like a giant guarding the darkness.

Less than five meters from the gate of Charnis, Megos suddenly stopped, raised her hands and tightly hugged the blood-stained head, groaning in pain:

"My...my child is a little...unwell..."

Under the watchful eyes of Klein, Leonard, and Siga, who was hiding in the guard room, Megaus frantically scratched her head, tearing off clumps of golden hair and strips of bloody flesh that fell haphazardly to the ground.

Suddenly, Megoss stopped moving, and Klein's sense of danger surged to its peak. He instinctively gripped a "Sunfire Talisman," and the moment he activated the incantation, the urge to rouse him rose to his throat.

"..."

But just as Klein opened his mouth, before he could utter a sound, Megos suddenly screamed shrilly:

"You're trying to kill my child!"

"You're trying to kill my child!"

Bang! As the piercing, terrifying sound echoed, Klein felt as if he had been struck hard on the head with a hammer. Intense pain and dizziness surged through him, making it difficult for him to break free for a moment.

Leonard and Sega were in the same situation, blood seeping from their mouths and noses, their faces pale like vampires, their bodies swaying and almost falling over.

But the next moment, the tightly closed Charness door was pushed open from the inside, and Dunn Smith, holding a silver square urn, slowly walked out. With the Charness door in place, he was in good condition and immediately opened the lid.

Inside the box was an extreme darkness, within which were tiny, glittering grains of sand, as beautiful as a dream, like the night sky contained within a box.

Call ~

As if an invisible wind had risen, the surroundings suddenly darkened, and the deep darkness enveloped everyone. Countless black, cold, and slippery wisps of silk rose in the air.

They surged toward Megas, enveloping her almost instantly.

Around Charnis Gate, Dunn could unleash over 90% of the power of "Saint Selena's Ashes," making him, at least for this moment, essentially equivalent to an archbishop or high-ranking deacon in charge of the sacred relic!

Unable to move, Megos did not surrender. She stared at Dunn with her now empty eye sockets, and roared angrily:

"You must die!"

boom!

A heavy thud sounded, and Dunn, who was walking slowly, stumbled as if he had been struck by something invisible, but he managed to withstand it and continued walking toward Megalos.

The countless black, cold, slippery threads tightened more and more, even binding Megas's mouth so tightly that she could no longer make a sound.

Seeing that they seemed to have temporarily controlled Megas, Klein, Leonard, and Sega breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next moment, two lumps of flesh bulged out from Megos's left and right shoulders, mixed with blood vessels and veins, round like a child's head.

"You all deserve to die!"

The sharp "blasphemous words" rang out again. Leonard, who had just received a score of "2-105", didn't even have time to show his special ability before he suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot, and he almost fainted.
