Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 10 Doomsday?

"Doomsday Prophecy"?Altaïr frowned slightly.

"I have indeed heard of similar things. However, in my impression, those rumors are mostly spread by the lunatics of the "Aurora Order". Although their teachings are very good for the poor in the East End who are eager to be saved Accepted, but in fact it is difficult to stand up to scrutiny."

Altaïr answered cautiously.Because he couldn't be sure about Miss Pride's attitude, he wisely didn't express his opinion.

"Indeed, most members of the Aurora Society are lunatics, and most of what they say is unbelievable." Audrey Hall nodded slightly, but then she changed the subject:
"However, the doomsday prophecy they said is true."

"You were born in a poor area. Although you have accumulated a certain knowledge base, you still lack a lot of introductory knowledge of mysticism. Our world takes a complete cycle as a big year, 25920; and a big year is divided into 12 Each big month is 2160 years. The end of each big month is the end of the world. However, the reason for the end is not the coming of the true Creator as the Aurora Society said, but something even more terrifying."

"What is more terrifying than the coming of the evil god?" Altaïr couldn't accept it.After all, he is only a Sequence 8, this kind of problem is too heavy for him.

"You will know these things slowly in the future. After you go back, read this book first. Next Monday at three o'clock in the afternoon, recite the honored name in the note I gave you, and we will show you the world clearly."

Audrey's figure gradually became unreal, as if melting in the transparent air.With the illusory roar, the spiritual wall she set up was shattered, leaving a light reminder in the air.

"Remember not to lose this book... This is the first edition of the Holy Book of the Church of the Fools, and there will be many interesting things in it."

Altaïr stood there for a while, looking at the scripture in his hand, a little lost in thought.However, his thoughts were quickly pulled back to reality, because there was still an important problem to be solved outside.Although the assassination of Venata was only a mission he took on, and there was no precedent for cooperating with the mission target after the mission was terminated, but as soon as the faint taste of blood came from his mouth, Altaïr wished he could dig a hole and bury himself.

Picking up "Bleeder" on the ground, taking a deep breath, Altaïr pushed open the door.The side outside the door was empty, and there was no sign of Venata.Altaïr looked around and spotted Venata in front of a broken flowerpot by the wall.At this time, she was leaning against the wall, looking at the broken porcelain flower pot in a daze.After a while, she squatted down and began to pick up the broken porcelain scattered on the ground.

"Sorry, Miss Venata."

Altaïr walked to Venata's side and said softly.Venata looked up at him, then lowered her head and continued to pick up the remains of the pot of baizilan.

"This is an assassination mission... You should have taken on a lot of similar missions, right?"

Venata remained silent.

"These are compensations for broken furniture. If you want to come to me in the future, you can come to No. 17 Rose Street. As compensation, I can pick up a commission from you for free in the future."

Altaïr sighed, squatted down, took out a few pounds of change from his pocket and put it beside Venata, then turned and prepared to leave.

After walking a few steps, I only heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from behind.Altaïr looked back, and saw Venata walking over with a blank face, because she was punched in the eye socket during the fight just now, her eyes are still streaming tears.

With a crisp sound of "snap", Venata exerted all her strength and slapped Altaïr's face fiercely. Altaïr's eyes were filled with stares, he suddenly felt dizzy, and managed to stand still. .

"This slap is because you broke my Baizilan," Venata said slowly, "Do you have any objections?"

Altaïr smiled wryly to himself, and shook his head.

"Then, I'm going to bed now, please leave." Venata pointed to the intersection in the distance, and the anger in her words seemed to be overflowing.

Altaïr nodded, tightened the coat on his body, turned and walked into the night.

This action was really too reckless... Altaïr limped along the road, his footsteps were weak, his left arm parried more than one heavy blow from Venata just now, and now he has lost consciousness, and he can feel it through his clothes. Seeing Lao Gao with swollen arms and bruises on his face, if he encounters a policeman, he is likely to be arrested for questioning.

Another negative effect of Otilus' Paradox Ring is that it makes the user reckless from time to time. Because of a moment of thought when he left the venue just now, Altaïr chose to teleport directly to an unfamiliar place for reconnaissance.Looking back now, this fight was really unnecessary.Altaïr couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

This time, I lost a lot... I didn't get the reward, and I was beaten up black and blue.Her fighting power is really strong, she can suppress me who is using the ring of Otilus and the dagger of the blood eviscer head-on, and... hell!According to Gagran's information, she is clearly only Sequence 9!Altaïr irritatedly kicked the stones away from the road.

In the final analysis, my sequence is still too low, and if I use the ring of paradox and the dagger of the blood eviscer at the same time as the level of sequence 6, my spirituality will not be able to bear it for a long time.I just fought fiercely for 1 minute, and used the ability of the ring three times and the additional effect of the dagger for 1 minute, which almost drained my spirituality.If I'm still just an "Assassin", I'm afraid I won't even last for a minute... Altaïr calmly analyzed it.

Afterwards, he called a two-wheeled carriage, used his instigator's ability to persuade the driver to ignore his suspicious injuries, and returned to his small two-story building on Rose Street.

Dragging his exhausted body, Altaïr slumped down on the sofa.Just now he insisted on doing a simple wound treatment for himself. After this night of tossing, his body can no longer lift a little strength.In fact, he really wanted to fall asleep right now, but due to his spiritual exhaustion, his mind was so chaotic at this moment that he couldn't fall asleep at all.

Something to do to pass the time... Altaïr forced himself with difficulty to think about what else he could do.

By the way, Miss Pride gave me a holy book of some church!

Altaïr drew the tome from his pocket.The holy book is covered with thick leather. It can be seen that the person who made it originally wanted to make a pocket version, but for some reason, the one made is about the same size as the menu in a Roselle-style restaurant. Altaïr can only put In the largest pocket of the coat.

Turning a page casually, Altaïr recited softly by the light of the kerosene lamp:

"My lord calls himself 'The Fool', in the past, in the present, and in the future."

"He is the great master who rules the spirit world, the king of yellow and black who controls good luck, and the beacon for every living being to pursue eternity..."

It sounds like she has a very high personality, which is similar to the description of those righteous gods... But it is normal, Miss "Arrogance" is a demigod herself, how could she believe in those false gods in the Southern Continent.Altaïr suppressed the fear in his heart, and continued to look down.

"My lord lives above the spiritual world and reality, and his kindness has filled the heaven and the earth. There are six angels standing beside his seat..."

"'Mercury Angel' is the incarnation of destiny and the most beloved angel of our Lord; the 'Angel of Death' is the existence that has followed our Lord the longest, and is the consul of the underworld; The communicator of the oracle; the 'angel of life' is the crystallization of wisdom and the indelible spirituality in every human body..."

It's amazing, there are so many angels serving... Altaïr turned a page, and continued to look down curiously.

"Beside the Lord's throne, there is a 'Retribution Angel', who is the Lord's thunder, the Lord's wrath, and the Lord's palm. He is the judge and executioner of all the unclean and fallen."

It sounds like the style of the Church of the Storm... This "fool" actually has an angel of the Storm Path?Altaïr moved his gaze to the last line of the part about the angel.

"...The opposite of the 'Punishment Angel' is the 'Angel of Time', he is the king of the ancient age, and finally surrendered to my lord, and struck the bell of heaven for him..."

awesome.

Altaïr thought from the bottom of his heart.Then, he felt a deep drowsiness in his spiritual depths, and soon he fell asleep on the sofa, the holy book slid aside.

……

In the cheap hotel in the East District, Audrey was doing her daily prayers to The Fool.

"Mr. Fool, just like what I said when I prayed yesterday, I have given your scripture to that newcomer."

"I don't know if this is the right thing to do, so I pray to you for your guidance."

Such prayers have been going on for a long time.Ever since Mister Fool fell asleep, Audrey has been insisting on daily prayers, hoping that this can help wake Mister Fool a little bit.However, Mister Fool never responded to her.

It seems that there is no harvest today... Audrey thought with some frustration.

No, cheer up Audrey, Mister Fool is facing a problem higher than the level of the true god, how can you be discouraged because of this setback?Audrey cheered herself up in her heart.

However, at this moment, the wonderful feeling before being dragged into the gray mist by the "Fool" for the first time swept over again. There seemed to be illusory crimson stars twinkling in front of Audrey's eyes, and she couldn't help but close her eyes. Eye.After the light dissipated, Audrey was surprised to find that there was an additional book of "The Fool" in front of her, which looked like a version revised by Mr. "Sun" and the others later.

Mister Fool actually responded!Audrey was full of surprises.It seems that what Mr. Fool said earlier, let us publicize his name, is really effective!After thinking about it, she decided to continue preaching the teachings of "The Fool" to Altaïr.
