Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 321 The First Demigod
Backlund, Pacefield Street.

At the secret request of the Church of Evernight, the police blocked some sections of the road and did not allow anyone to enter.

And Hazel, who had already been inspected by the Church of Evernight and confirmed that she was not parasitized, brought a whole team of Nighthawks into the sewer, heading for the excavated tunnel she said.

When passing the fifth corner, Hazel stopped, pointed to the front and said:
"Just ahead, there is a secret door there."

"Captain, let me go."

Leonard Mitchell looked at the moss growing darkly in front of him, corroding the obvious wall, and said in a deep voice.

The man Leonard called the captain looked to be in his thirties, with a straight nose, and gray eyes that gave off an indescribable depth, like a lake in an ancient forest that no one cared about.

He was wearing the black windbreaker and red gloves that were uniformed by the Nighthawks. It was Dunn Smith!

He glanced to the side and seemed to have a loose style, but his eyes were full of dignified players. After a moment of silence, he nodded slightly:

"be careful."

"it is good."

Leonard fully agreed, got up and walked towards the wall at the end of the corner of the sewer.

When his back was facing everyone, his expression was no longer as dignified as before, and his mind was full of thoughts.

When he was in Tingen, Dunn was only a 'nightmare' of Sequence 7, although because of absorbing extra Extraordinary characteristics, his strength was comparable to that of some Sequence 6s.But also due to absorbing too many Extraordinary characteristics, his state is very poor, and the progress of potion digestion has been delayed again and again, making it difficult to be promoted for a long time.

But in that incident, Dunn Smith, who was resurrected from the dead, was a blessing in disguise. His potion was quickly digested, and he was promoted to the "Requiem Master" of Sequence 6 shortly after he joined the Red Gloves, becoming a "Deacon" '.

And after a few months, his potion was quickly digested through acting.Coupled with his 15 years of service in Tingen, he successfully obtained the potion of Sequence 5, and was promoted to the 'Spirit Witch' of Sequence 5 not long ago.

It took him three years from Sleepless to Midnight Poet, and nine full years from Midnight Poet to Nightmare.And it took three years from Nightmare to Sequence 6, and it was only with the help of 'Resurrection' that he was able to digest the potion, otherwise he didn't know it would take a long time.

And with the help of impersonation, it only took him seven months to go from Sequence 6 'Requiemer' to Sequence 5 'Spirit Witch'!
In contrast, although Leonard is now the 'Requiemer' of Sequence 6, his potion digestion is still far away.And even if he completes the digestion of the potion, his meritorious service is not enough to exchange for the potion of Sequence 5 'Spirit Witch'.

Leonard saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.So he desperately hopes to accumulate merits quickly, at least when he finishes digesting the potion, he doesn't have to worry about the Sequence 5 potion.It is precisely because of this that he will not let go of any opportunity to accumulate meritorious deeds.

And the current self-reported bravery will undoubtedly cause him to be specially recorded, so as to obtain more merit than others——

Although there is not much more, but don't give up the merits for nothing, after all, there is no danger in this errand.

Although the church attaches great importance to this, it sent a whole red glove team to deal with it.

But Leonard knew that there was actually no danger in it.

After all, this was the angel Ember's action, so how could it be possible to leave danger to them, the finishers?

According to what Hazel said before, Leonard successfully found the mechanism to open the secret door.

With a slight noise, the secret door on the wall was pushed open, and a tumbling burst into it!
He was guarding against possible attacks in the dark, even though he knew there were none.

Dunn and the others followed closely behind and filed through the secret door.There are almost no Extraordinary people who have the sleepless path. In their eyes, there is no difference between night and day, so there is no need to worry about not being able to detect sneak attacks from the darkness.

And when they passed through the fans, what appeared in front of their eyes was a semi-natural and semi-artificial cave. There were shovels wrapped in oilcloth and other utensils on the ground, a large amount of soil and gravel were piled up, and there were two synclines in front of them. The secret passage extending down.

Hazel, who was protected by the Nighthawks, pointed to the right and reminded:

"The one on the right."

Leonard and Dunn glanced at each other, stepped forward and stood at the entrance of the passage, stunned for a while.

Because what appeared in front of his eyes was not the narrow passage that was only dug ten meters deep in Hazel's mouth, but a deep tunnel with no bottom!

Leonard's pupils shrank sharply, using the 'sleepless' approach to the eyesight of extraordinary people.Even in a completely dark environment, it also has excellent vision.And at Sequence 6, Beyonders of the 'Sleepless One' pathway can easily see scenes thousands of meters away clearly in the dark!
But now, this tunnel allows him to see the end at a glance. This tunnel is at least several thousand meters long, or even deeper!

And judging from the flat cut on the wall of the tunnel, it was clearly just a casual blow from the opponent!
If a single blow has such power, how terrifying would it be for the angel to strike with all his strength?What puzzled Leonard even more was, which path is Ember an angel?
The old voice in his mind also sounded, with deep confusion and incomprehension in his tone:

"It looks like the path of the singer and the generalist, but neither of these two paths is possible... But are there similar abilities in other paths?"

With the strength of any angel, it wouldn't be too difficult to achieve similar destructive power, it's just that they use different abilities.

And in Pales Zarathustra's impression, there shouldn't be similar extraordinary abilities in those avenues of using embers to cause destruction, right?Isn't he an Extraordinary in those paths?
Dunn Smith looked at the deep tunnel and said slowly:

"Report it, this is beyond what we can handle."

Leonard nodded solemnly, but in fact his heart was extremely relaxed.

Under such terrible destructive power, there is absolutely no possibility of the demigod of the way of the thief surviving.The only problem is that this tunnel is too long, and it is likely to run through Backlund's subway, so it may be a little troublesome to deal with it afterwards, because they need to check the nearby subway lines.

Of course, these don't need them to do it themselves, just hand it over to the police.

Hazel asked weakly and softly:

"what about me?"

Dunn looked at the anxious girl, and said:

"You can go home."

"Go home?" Hazel suddenly felt like she was in a dream, such a big thing happened, just let her go home like this?
"Correct."

Dunn nodded lightly and explained:

"You have now been registered as a Nighthawk. Go to St. Samuel's Church tomorrow morning, and someone will tell you the details. As for now, you can go home first and explain it to your parents so that they don't worry."

Hazel pursed her lips tightly, explain?How should she explain it?

What happened to her couldn't be revealed to them, she could only make up an excuse.

At 160 Boklund Street, Klein stood on the balcony of his room, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, taking a sip from time to time.

In Klein's sight, a long cordon had already been pulled up on the street not far away. Several police carriages were parked outside the cordon. More than a dozen policemen sealed the street tightly, and no one was allowed to enter or exit.

Anyone who saw this scene could realize that something must have happened to that section of the road.Fortunately, Klein's house was relatively far away, perfectly avoiding the blockade, so he could stand leisurely on the balcony and observe the movement not far away.

Klein also had some guesses in his heart, silently thinking:
"This is obviously related to that Miss Hazel."

This Miss Hazel sneaked into the sewer in the middle of the night, probably caught by Ember.Ember personally made a move, and that demigod definitely had no chance of escaping.

And the reason why Miss Hazel turned herself in at the Church of the Evernight this morning was probably the result of being "persuaded and persuasive" by the embers, so the official Extraordinary from the Church of the Evernight came to finish it off.

The action of these police officers blocking the streets was actually to cover the actions of the Nighthawks.There is a saying that when you want to cover up one thing, you have to use a bigger thing to distract people's attention, which has achieved the purpose of deceiving people. In science, this is called the recency effect.

Although such a large-scale operation will inevitably cause the residents of Boklund Street to panic, the police will definitely do a good job in advance to appease them.

And by tomorrow morning, the newspapers will probably publish headlines similar to 'Police arrest serial murderer in the sewer of Berklund Street', which not only appeases the public, but also gives a reasonable explanation.

Klein is already quite familiar with this set of procedures. After all, when he was a night watchman in Tingen, he often pretended to be a policeman to handle cases, and he often used similar news to cover up the facts afterwards.

Of course, the police will definitely not directly move out Congressman Macht and his daughter, but will only say that it was information provided by 'informed sources'.In this way, the Macht family will not be implicated, and the singing and dancing will continue as usual.

The only problem is that Miss Hazel has seen Ember's true face, and Ember probably doesn't have the habit of disguising before doing business, so Hazel must know who caused all this.

And as the 'culprit' who brought the embers to the banquet, Dawn Dantès will definitely be the focus of Hazel's attention.

But that's not necessarily a bad thing either.

A rich man who is on good terms with the Church of Evernight and even knows some inside information can better integrate into the upper class society.
-
Backlund, Queens District, the luxurious villa of Earl Hall's family.

Audrey, who led Susie for a walk in the garden, had just returned to the hall when she saw her father, Earl Hall, come in from outside with an unconcealable joy on his face.

"Dad, what happened?" Audrey asked with concern.

This is the most basic observation, and she doesn't need to hide anything.

Earl Hall smiled and said:

"Alfred has finished digesting the potion, and he will be promoted in two days."

Audrey knew in her heart that although Alfred was very talented, the potion of Sequence 5 was not easy to digest, even if he mastered the acting skills.But in the 'dream world' proposed by Audrey, this process can be greatly accelerated.

Not only the low-sequence Beyonders cultivated by the family were able to digest the potion with the help of the dream world, but even Alfred and Hibbert also benefited from it.

Of course, Mr. World is still far ahead in the exploration progress of the 'dream world'.

Low-sequence Extraordinary beings can't even defeat the 'Ash Judge' Guda, and can only obtain pitifully few 'souls' by killing those wandering souls day after day.Among the Extraordinary of the Middle Sequence, most of the Extraordinary of the Sequence 6 are trapped in the 'Bordeau of the Cold Valley', while the Sequence 5 are trapped in the 'Cursed Tree' or the 'Crystal Elder'—

This premise must be that they have mastered the skills taught by Mister 'World', otherwise even 'Judger of Ashes' Guda would not be able to defeat them.

However, although the skills taught by Mr. World are quite practical, they can kill those incomplete demigods in the dream in the middle sequence.But the difficulty is still very high, and it is difficult to succeed without sufficient combat literacy.

After all, those demigods can make countless mistakes, but as long as they make one mistake, they will be killed by these demigods, and there is no chance of a comeback.Even Audrey herself is now trapped in the 'Crystal Elder' stage - she has died at the hands of the Crystal Elder no less than ten times.

Compared with them, Mister 'World' has already arrived at Faran Fortress, killed the 'Stranger Demon', and started to explore the Deep Church instead.

And since Alfred has finished digesting the potion, it means that Alfred has already killed the 'Crystal Old Man', plus the demigods he defeated earlier, he has obtained more than 100 million souls, which is just enough to speed up the sequence 5 Digestion of potions.

The girl turned her eyes slightly, and asked deliberately 'curiously':
"Why does it take two days, can't you be promoted now?"

Earl Hall shook his head and explained:

"The potion is ready, but the royal family has to prepare the ceremony."

After a pause, Earl Hall continued:

"Although I don't know what the ceremony is, according to Alfred, the ceremony is very demanding and cannot be arranged in advance."

Audrey showed a clear look in her eyes, but she was thinking about another thing in her heart.

In fact, she can now be promoted to Sequence 4, whether it is Extraordinary characteristics or potion formulas, she is not lacking.

The only problem now is that Karula asked her to slow down the pace of becoming Sequence 4 as much as possible——

Because the current dreamland can't carry demigods, once she becomes a demigod, she won't be able to enter the dreamland world, and this restriction will not be opened until the first 'Salary King' is brought back to the Fire Passing Sacrificial Field.

In other words, we have to wait for Mister 'World' to defeat the first 'Salary King' first.

Although Mr. World's progress is very fast, it may take a long time to defeat the first salary king.Although Audrey is not that eager to improve her strength, if Alfred can become a demigod, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for the Hall family.
