Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 451 Deathrattle

After performing a divination on herself and confirming that the slight pollution on the back of her hand would not develop further or cause harm to others, Angel returned to Lingang Town with confidence. Otherwise, she would have been prepared to directly turn into a "Siren" Swim back to Zhongcheng Island and find the Church of Storms to solve the problem.

On the way, she met Layton's group who came to mine again. In order to prevent these people who dreamed of getting rich from actually digging through the rock wall and entering the depths of the heavily polluted mine, when she passed by them, Angel used his "disease" ability to quickly infect these twenty or so "gold miners" with minor colds or pharyngitis. Watching them suddenly feel unwell, they confirmed each other with questions, and then returned to the town with regret. , ended today’s “work” ahead of schedule.

It should be fine in a day or two, and by then the Punisher should have arrived here to end it all... But maybe after Pierce's death, they who no longer dream of getting rich will wake up tomorrow and sell it for nothing. copper ore to leave this sad place... I hope those ores can pay for their departure.

Angel secretly smiled and followed Leiden and others back to the town. This port town with a population of only more than a thousand people was still a peaceful scene. The dream deeply implanted in people's hearts did not end in an instant. It solidified. I am afraid that I can only slowly walk forward under the erosion of time.

But Angel didn't have that much time to wait. She bought a ferry ticket to return to Zhongcheng Island in the afternoon, and wrote a report letter in advance. She planned to report what happened here to the Church of Storms as soon as she returned to Zhongcheng Island, and let them send punishments on their behalf. Researchers must clean up the pollution in the mines as soon as possible to avoid more victims.

Without Pierce's obstruction this time, they probably wouldn't have regarded the extraordinary event as a leak of gas... Although the official extraordinary people themselves often use this excuse to cover up extraordinary events that make too much noise...

Cursing the poor excuses of the three major churches, Angel finished her last meal on Pala Island in the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel. She packed her luggage and came to the pier. She waited in the lounge for the arrival of the ferry. At this moment, she was a little thankful that the island was The resident has not yet fully awakened from her dream, otherwise the tourists leaving in droves would probably crowd the boat, and she would not even be able to buy a ticket to go back that day.

The blood that accumulated in her stomach after the meal made Angel feel a little groggy. The warm sunshine from the rare sun on Para Island, which is close to the violent sea, also became the best sleep-inducing drug. She closed her eyes unconsciously. Fall into a light sleep.

The cold touch on her wrist awakened her again. This familiar feeling made Angel sigh softly, stood up from the chair, and looked at the man in the trench coat who suddenly appeared behind her.

"Thank you, thank you for killing 'me' and not letting him cause more harm."

Pierce, whose face became clear under the warm but illusory sunlight, took off his hat, bowed, and spoke softly, his voice gentle and indifferent, completely different from the sharp metallic tone before.

He is short, has short dark brown hair, wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and a light beard on his upper lip. He is about forty years old.

"Pierce Turner," Angel nodded and called out the other person's name, "Is this the real you?"

"Yes, after my promotion failed, he took almost all of me. I fought with him several times for control, but all failed. I think even trying to control Leiden and the others to dig mines was with his acquiescence. "Proceeding," Pierce replied with a wry smile, "Fortunately, you finally solved the devil. Even if he can't attack in reality, in the dream, he is still enough to rival the saint."

"I would like to thank Ms. Arianna."

Angel replied calmly.

"That Holy Emblem?" Pierce nodded, stretched out his hand to draw a crimson moon on his chest, "Praise the goddess, its effect has indeed completely suppressed the other me. It's a pity that I can't thank Her Highness Arianna in person, please If you send my extraordinary characteristics back to the temple and tell them everything that happened here, I think they will give you the rewards you deserve."

I will do this even if you don't mention the reward... This makes it look like I'm returning the extraordinary characteristics just for the extra reward. What's more, it's also been contaminated and turned into a sealed object with unknown negative effects. I don't dare to use it at all... Angel Fuming, he nodded calmly and agreed.

"My last bit of power in the dream is about to disappear. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Seeing that Angel agreed, Pierce was obviously relieved and his smile widened.

"Is there anything else you want to say to your relatives or friends? I can convey it to you."

"I am not married, and my parents have passed away long ago. If I want to leave anything behind, let my failure serve as an example to warn future generations."

Angel was moved by this senior deacon who was alone and dedicated everything to the goddess and the church. She was silent for a moment before continuing to ask:

"Is the extraordinary creature that broke into Pala Island a few months ago real?"

Now that she has figured out everything that happened here, what she is most concerned about is naturally the clues of the "Gazeer". After all, she originally came to the vicinity of Zhongcheng Island to track the clues of this extraordinary creature.

"Yes, most of what he said is true. He only lied in the key place, that is, the 'proportion' between me and him," Pierce replied, speaking gradually faster, "Southwest of Bodo Port. There are many of its kind on the island, but this belongs to the memory of an extraordinary creature, not sure of the time, maybe a long time ago."

As he spoke, he showed the landform of the nameless island in his dream. It was as if the spiritual world was looking out from a perspective that distorted the shape of the island, but he could still see a huge ship stranded next to the island.

"Is this the extraordinary material you need for subsequent potions?"

After waving his hand to disperse the scene, Pierce asked softly. His figure began to gradually fade, and the illusory sunlight behind him passed through and sprinkled on the ground of the pier.

"I will use this to advance to Sequence 4."

Angel replied calmly that the senior deacon in front of her was about to pass away and there was no need for her to hide it. "May the goddess bless you and make your promotion go smoothly," Pierce said with a calm blessing after waving his hand again to draw the crimson moon. "Don't be like me, who was frustrated in the path of 'Corpse Collector' and then failed in 'Sleepless Man'." 'Failed on the way."

I also hope everything goes well. Although it has been verified in previous battles that the "Disaster" spell can cause fatal damage to the body of a demigod, how to hit it is the biggest problem. It is impossible for a second demigod to take the initiative to catch it. Spell... Angel thought about it and asked casually:

"Frustrated?"

"Yes, it is also called the 'Death' path, but after Ince Zangwill's promotion failed, the church conducted research and found that when this path is promoted from Sequence 5 to Demigod, the failure rate will greatly increase. Therefore, all 'gatekeepers' after that are required to stay in this sequence, or jump to the 'Night Watch', which makes the ceremony more complicated and does not meet the abilities of the 'gatekeepers'. Except for me, no one has yet People choose to move up the ranks.”

"Path of the God of Death? Seeking promotion at the edge of the violent sea where the suspected God of Death disappeared, leaving treasure behind?"

Angel asked rhetorically, she couldn't help but wonder if the various accidents that occurred during the senior deacon's promotion process were due to the wrong location for the ceremony.

"There is indeed a certain risk in mysticism, but Pala Island is far away from the mainland and does not have much communication with the surroundings. It is a good place to hold ceremonies, and the violent sea was in a relatively calm cycle at the time. Unexpectedly, it happened when I took it On the day of the potion, everything changed..."

Pierce didn't seem to want to talk about this topic that made him extremely regretful. He shook his head and stopped talking. Just when Angel thought the conversation was about to end, he suddenly asked with a puzzled expression:

"Where did that powerful charm you used this morning come from?"

"It's called the 'Disaster' spell. If you hadn't caught it directly, the effect wouldn't be so good."

Angel replied that he was not prepared to tell the other party the origin of the spell in detail because there was no more time.

Pierce's figure almost disappeared and his voice gradually faded.

"'Disaster'... no wonder, it's the same as what I felt half a year ago..."

Before he finished speaking, the last traces left by this former senior deacon, a demigod who went crazy due to his failed promotion, disappeared in front of Angel's eyes.

Why did you only say half of what you said... Angel was stunned and stretched his hands forward, but woke up from the chair in the lounge to the sound of a whistle. A ferry with thick smoke was slowly approaching not far away.

If he hadn't known that the other party's spirit body had been contaminated, the channeling would have harmed him. Angel even wanted to go back to the mine, channel Pierce, and ask about the second half of the sentence just now.

The "Disaster" spell is powerful and easy to make, but its side effects are unknown. This makes Angel want to understand the power behind the spell even more, but the meaning of Pierce Turner's half-sentence just now...

Could it be that the loss of control of his ritual half a year ago had something to do with the complex symbols found in Bansi Port?

----

Taking the steam ferry, Angel returned to the port of Zhongcheng Island before sunset. She quickly found the local Church of Storms. She didn't bother to ask someone to submit the report on her behalf. She just used the "hypocrisy" ring to slightly conceal her identity and stuffed the report letter directly. After entering the mailbox at the door of the church, in order to attract the attention of the priest inside, he even knocked hard on the door of the church twice, and then left quickly.

Hidden on the corner of the street, he saw a priest sticking his head out in confusion, opening the mailbox under the guidance of passers-by, and taking away the letter of report. Angel then left with peace of mind. He believed that with the efficiency of the punishers, it would not take two days. The matter of pulling the island will be perfectly solved.

In order to prevent the punishment agents from not paying enough attention, she first sent some low-sequence Beyonders to the mine. In her letter, she described in detail what happened there, focusing on the power of demigods.

Finally, the name "Angelica Sage" was left behind.

"I hope this report will stop them from adding money to my wanted order... If the reward exceeds four figures, maybe that guy 'Fire' Daniz will not be able to help but report me..."

Angel murmured, having already forgotten the "to see who has the higher bounty" competition that he had agreed with Klein before.

She left the church and walked towards the pier, ready to buy the fastest boat ticket back to Bayam.

At this moment, the haphazardly paved stone roads and the original gray and yellowish colors of the building walls suddenly became bright and rich, as did the clothes worn by passers-by. They walked slowly, passing through Angel's body, as if they were two different people. They are no longer in the same world.

These brightly colored, oil painting-like scenes moved downwards and gradually moved away. Only then did Angel realize that he was floating in mid-air, and there was an extra person beside him.

He was wearing a familiar tuxedo, a tall hat, and a bronze complexion. He was none other than Mr. Azik Eggers, whom he had not seen for half a month.
