The Uncanny: The Knowledgeable Returns From Warhammer

Chapter 5 The Weeping Angel

As she was speaking, Melissa suddenly noticed that the fingers of the young police officer holding the pen seemed to be trembling, and at the same time she took a step back slowly.

"Is there any problem?"

She began to feel nervous for no reason, and the thought of Alvin Stimson, whether he caused some serious trouble or something, suddenly appeared in her mind.

But seeing the young police officer tilt his head slightly, glanced at the direction of the podium again, took a deep breath, and asked calmly:
"Have you seen a strange statue recently!"

"Statue?...No." Although she was very puzzled in her heart, Melissa shook her head truthfully after repeated thinking.

Her answer made the nervous young police officer secretly heave a sigh of relief, and said:
"Then please read to me now... You are the Goddess of the Night, higher than the starry sky and longer than eternity, the Lord of Crimson, the Mother of Secrets, the Queen of Calamity and Fear, the Lord of Sleep and Silence..."

"You are..." Melissa opened her mouth, about to say the prayer of the Evernight Goddess.

Suddenly there was a loud bang, the movement was so loud that the windows of the classroom on the second floor trembled slightly.

After a brief panic, she subconsciously went to check what happened.

I saw the black metal box on the back of the stern-faced young inspector on the podium unfolded instantly amidst the buzzing of gear friction.

When the dense and cumbersome mechanical structure was extended, Ivan, who was in deep thought, also came back to his senses in an instant.

But I heard Barr drop a sentence: "You are optimistic about Alvin Stimson!"

Immediately afterwards, a sudden burst of astonishing speed smashed open the classroom window, and rushed out amidst scattered glass shards, leaving everyone in the classroom looking at each other in blank dismay.

After a while, looking at the young police officer walking towards him, Ai Wen suddenly smiled, as if talking to the other party, and also seemed to mutter to himself:

"It's surprising..."

"Don't you think that our stay here is a serious waste of manpower? ... Your boss may face a very difficult situation!"

"You want to..." The young police officer seemed to have guessed Ai Wen's thoughts, a trace of hesitation flashed across his face, but he quickly shook his head and said:
"No, no, that's too dangerous!"

Seeing that the opponent's footsteps didn't mean to stop at all, the smile on Ivan's face was even bigger:
"Think about it carefully, just the right support may turn the situation around in an instant and leave a deep impression on the other party. As a witness, I know enough about the situation here and can provide better assistance!"

"Besides, you have also heard that his order is only to watch over me, he didn't say how to take care of me, and he didn't say where to take care of me, did he?"

Following Aiwen's bewitching words, the young police officer's originally firm footsteps began to pause slightly.

In this regard, he looked around and said meaningfully to several other police officers:
"You don't want to work as an ordinary police officer for the rest of your life..."

……

"Damn it, hurry up!"

On campus, Barr jumped out of the window of the teaching building, gritted his teeth, and sprinted towards the school auditorium with all his strength. The steam vent extending from the black box behind him continued to emit amazing strange howls, pulling out a path along the way. Eye-catching "white smoke".

And on the inside of his uniform, in the pocket close to his body, the "sensor" distributed by the parish uniformly, which looks like a pocket watch, is trembling endlessly.

This means that some team members poured their own spirituality into it, and the sensors of other team members vibrated accordingly. All the staff must put down their work and go to the station to gather immediately.

If someone is absent, it means that the other party may have encountered some degree of danger.

Therefore, it must be worn close to the body, and it cannot be used at will unless you are in danger or requesting support, otherwise you will be punished.

And in this case, combined with the huge explosion before, the auditorium must have encountered a bad situation that even the captain of the Sequence Seven Transcendents could not effectively deal with.

Running all the way with worry, it didn't take long for Barr to see from a distance, outside the school auditorium, who was also wearing a uniform and carrying a huge black metal box. He fell to his knees and looked pained on the ground.

On the other side not far from the other party, several police officers with steam rifles on their backs were cautiously groping towards the direction of the garden.

"What happened? Where's the captain?"

After approaching the school auditorium, Barr looked around and was vigilant, while slowly approaching Upton and asking loudly.

"Siha...a policeman's steam rifle suddenly went off...I hit the gas tank on his back in a panic, he should be seriously injured!"

Noticing that Barr was coming from the direction of the teaching building, Upton struggled to stand up, the torn wound on his shoulder made him suck in the cold air, and pointed to the nearby building with difficulty.

"Captain... He found that a superhuman flew into the nearby laboratory building. He was worried that the other party would kidnap the students. He just chased after him. He asked you to help seal the auditorium after he arrived, and no one was allowed to enter or leave."

"Treat the wound first, I'll go over and have a look!"

Seeing that Upton could still move, Barr glanced at the motionless building next to him, nodded with a sullen face, and turned directly to the garden.

Lifting your legs and stepping over the fence, the scarlet "raindrops" sprinkled on the gorgeous petals, setting off the center of the flowerbed with the rolled soil, a more tragic scene.

The terrifying destructive power of the large-caliber revolving machine gun in the mechanical suit caused the pressure relief valve of the gas tank on the steam rifle to fail to open in time, and the policeman's body was completely torn apart in the astonishing explosion.

Barr stepped forward with a look of resentment, pushed back the pale-faced ordinary police officers around him, slowly bent down, and supported the head of the police officer who was awake for a moment due to the pain.

But he knew that such a situation would not last long, and even if it was sent to the diocesan headquarters, it would be impossible to treat it.

"Sir, ass...ass hurts."

The wounded police officer half-opened his bloodless lips and moaned intermittently, prompting Barr's eyes to sweep across the other's lower body, which had long since disappeared, shook his head, and said in a gentle tone:

"It doesn't hurt, Hyde!"

"Tell me, what happened?"

"I'm sorry, sir..." The seriously injured police officer Hyde frowned, and a clear tear trail slid down his face: "I, I have hallucinations."

"What kind of hallucination?" Barr's voice was softer, as if he was facing a child who was about to fall asleep.

"It's like...it seems to be back..."

Following the absent-minded whisper of the other party, under his neck covered by the collar, pieces of off-white feathers resembling scales quietly emerged.

In the end, the pupils that completely lost their brilliance stopped the feathers under Police Hyde's collar from spreading, and the remaining body gradually turned pale, collapsing like a castle built of sand.

The abnormality of sacrificing the police officer made Barr ignore his grief, and suddenly he became stiff and seemed to feel an indescribable breath locking himself.

This made his face pale in an instant, and the rotary machine gun, which was hanging down behind him, instantly stood up like a hedgehog with fried hair, and subconsciously raised his head to warn his companions.

"It's not right!"

"Upton, you..."

Halfway through speaking, Barr froze in place again when he raised his head and glanced at the window of the school auditorium.

Standing on the westernmost side of Tingen Technical School, it has a towering roof like a bell tower, dark red brick walls, and colorful glass windows in the auditorium. At some point, there is a white statue.

That lifelike statue seemed to be sculpted day and night by world-renowned artists during the Renaissance initiated by the Intis Empire in the last century.

The vivid limbs are filled with the luster that only human skin has, and the pair of white wings behind him are covered with scale-like stone feathers.

What's more, under the statue's long white and weak hair, the pupils that are as pale as the limbs are streaming with sad tears.

"Bal...Bal! Look what I got..."

In a daze, Barr saw himself standing in front of a dilapidated wooden house.

In the distance, a little girl with a dirty face waved a brand new pen at him excitedly.

"Lena...is that you?"

Suddenly, his voice became a little trembling, and the corners of his eyes gradually became moist.
