Mystery: Days and Nights of Struggle with the Research Society

Chapter 108 The strange Atil

It was a tall man with slightly curly flaxen hair and familiar blue eyes. He was wearing a snow-white windbreaker with no extra decoration. His tall figure was particularly obvious under the night.

At this time, he tilted his head slightly and looked at the alien in front of him with an indifferent look that Su Ya had never seen from him. A faint moonlight from the clouds and haze happened to shine on his handsome face at this time. The resolute profile gave the familiar face an extraordinarily cold look.

Atil?Suya almost exclaimed, because that familiar face was clearly the same as Adil who left home in a hurry a few days ago because he got the news that Ince Zangwill was near Disi Bay.

But why is Atil here?Wasn't he chasing Ince Zangwill in the Bay of Ducy?Although Suya himself knew that this was most likely false news released by Ince's pen holder, Atil did not know about it.

It would take at least half a month to go from Backlund to Disi Bay, find out whether the news is true or false, and then come back. Atil had only been away from home for a few days. Unless he lied to me and didn't go to Disi at all. West Bay, otherwise it would never be possible to appear here.

But why did he lie to me?And it’s okay to hide it from me, even Sesima-dono?Even if the church has some secret mission, it won’t be
Su Ya felt a little headache, and his first reaction was that someone was pretending.

This can be done easily whether it is a faceless man of the diviner sequence or a sealed object with the ability of a faceless man.

But the question is, if someone really wants to impersonate Atil, what is he trying to do? You must know that Atil is a Sequence 5 in charge of holy objects, a senior deacon of the Church of the Night, and a person who is watched by the goddess of the night.

Do you really want to be hunted down by the Church of Night by pretending to be a high-level church official at this level?
By the way, holy objects.

Su Ya's eyes lit up and he thought of the key to confirm the other party's identity.

Atil holds a holy object. Although Suya has never actually seen Atil use a holy object, he knows very well that the holy object is actually the small piece of art that Atil has always tied to his left arm. Buckler.As long as you confirm that the person opposite is not wearing the small buckler, you can know that the other person is most likely an imposter.

Su Ya quietly poked his head out from the corner of the street and carefully glanced at the left arm of the tall man on the street. However, the other man's left arm was currently covered by the large white windbreaker, and it was completely impossible to tell whether there was anything inside. what.

What should I do?
Suya gritted his teeth, took out his watch from his pocket and looked at the time. Five minutes had passed since he summoned Crestel Sesima's messenger. According to the speed and speed of the senior deacon. The distance between here and St. Samuel's Church means that it will take at least seven or eight minutes for the other party to arrive.

And for such a long time, Suya was not sure whether the person suspected of being Atil would stay here forever.

Just when Su Ya was entangled, the tall figure moved.

He walked towards the stacked alien species, his face devoid of any emotion, and his whole person looked as cold as a sculpture in the park.Su Ya saw him walking in front of the aliens, stretched out his hand to wipe his left arm, and drew out a straight sword that glowed like the morning sun, slashing forward.

That's the warrior's 'Sword of Dawn'!Su Ya stared at the Sword of Dawn with a shocked expression. Is it really Atil?No, it's impossible, maybe it's the effect of an extraordinary item
On the other side, in the purification of the morning light, the stacked alien species were purified without any resistance in the coma. After just a few minutes, only a few things that looked very bad were left in place. Extraordinary characteristics.

The man who seemed to be Atil lowered his eyes slightly, glanced indifferently at the scattered extraordinary properties, casually held a sword flower, and put away the Sword of Dawn again. He didn't seem to put away those extraordinary properties immediately. The meaning of characteristics is that he gently turned his head and looked at the corner that was originally covered by those alien species, with a cold expression.

Su Ya also followed his gaze and looked over subconsciously. That angle had been blocked by the aliens from the Rose School, so he didn't notice that there were two people hiding there.

A little ahead was a man who was half-kneeling on the ground. His face was pale and slightly crazy. The hair on his body was particularly lush. Blood was still dripping from his slightly messy hair. The expression on his face was twisted and ferocious.He pressed one hand on the ground, and subconsciously raised the other hand backwards, which was a vigilant movement full of vigilance. There was a metallic light at the tip of the palm he pressed on the ground, reflecting the faint crimson moonlight. They are black nails.

Werewolf?Is this Maric?Su Ya frowned slightly and looked at the figure floating behind the werewolf. It was a beautiful woman who looked like a ghost and a puppet. She was wearing a complex black palace dress and a small pair of the same color. A soft hat, with light golden hair and a pair of blue eyes that always remain calm even in such dangerous situations.

The moment he saw her, Su Ya immediately recognized the other person from her distinctive features - this must be Sharon.

"Who are you?" Sharon, who was pale but delicate in appearance, floated behind Maric, looking at the tall man standing not far away from them, not caring about the damage she suffered from being affected by the morning light, and her tone was calm and unruffled. asked.

"A temperance 'ghost'? Interesting." The tall man did not answer her question, but looked at them with a novel look, and his indifferent expression was a little strange.

"Is Renette Tinichole still alive?" he asked.

"No, I shouldn't ask you." But soon, he shook his head again and said to himself, "A Sequence 5 and a Sequence 7 are not worthy of knowing the status of an angel."

"The Rose School is really getting more and more rampant now. It seems that the church should also propose cooperation with the military to deal with these dirty bugs."

He glanced at Maric, who was staring at him warily, half of his eyes covered by madness, showing no respect, and frowned with disgust, "You little thing from the Rose School, haven't your adults taught you what awe is?"

He raised his hand, gathering the morning light in his palm, and wanted to wipe away these two extraordinary people who were disrespectful to him.Maric let out a low growl and signaled Sharon to run, as if she wanted to pounce to stop the man, but Sharon did not speak, but her face became paler. She bit her lip and floated upward, ready to be forcibly possessed at any time.

"Ha." The man sneered. He shook it casually, and a ray of morning light shone on the two of them. Part of Sharon's resentful body instantly dissipated like ice and snow melting. She fell to the ground and exited. He was in the state of a resentful soul, and there were large burn marks on Maric's body. He lay on the ground and let out a piercing scream.And just when the man wanted to go one step further and kill these two 'alien species', he seemed to suddenly notice something. He dispersed the morning light that had begun to gather in his palm and looked in another direction. His lips were slightly pursed and his eyebrows were deep. wrinkled.

"You nosy old guy, you came so fast."

"Good luck to you, little bug." He waved his hands in disgust, without even looking at the two members of the Temperance faction who were seriously injured at this time. He just briefly identified the direction, strode away from the battlefield, and quickly disappeared. In Su Ya's sight.

And just before the man was about to completely leave Su Ya's sight, a sudden breeze blew quietly over the man's body, blowing the large windbreaker he was wearing close to his body, revealing a round outline of his left upper arm.

Although it was already late at night, the crimson moonlight happened to fall on the tall man at this time, allowing Suya to clearly see the circular outline hidden under the windbreaker - it was a shape that looked like a round shield. .

He also wears a buckler, the same buckler as Atil!Is this person really Atil?
It was as if a thunderbolt struck Su Ya's head, making him scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.

In any case, he was unwilling to associate the cold, ruthless and extremely arrogant man with Adil.

In Suya's memory, Atil is gentle, generous and kind. Because he has lived in the headquarters of the Church of the Night all year round, he always has a pure temperament that is not good at dealing with others. He is like a docile golden retriever who rarely gets angry. He also doesn't have the arrogant habits of aristocrats, and shows a gentle attitude towards everyone equally.

That is not a disguise - it is impossible for a holder of a sacred object who is watched by the gods all the year round and prays frequently to disguise himself in front of the gods.And if Adil wasn't really gentle and kind and had good intentions toward him, Suya would have called the police long ago with his overly sensitive spiritual intuition.

Although the person he met tonight had almost the same appearance as Atil and the same sequence ability of the warrior path, he carried a kind of aloof indifference and arrogance, and his attitude towards life was like Seeing an insect that can be easily crushed to death, there is no compassion or kindness at all.

Such an arrogant man who was offended and wanted to kill Sharon and Maric just because they didn't respect and surrender to him immediately. Even if he resembled Atil again, Suya would never admit it. That's his brother.

But the top priority now is to provide emergency rescue to the two members of the Temperance faction who have been purified. Otherwise, Miss Sharon may really die here, which would not be good.

Suya took a deep breath, walked out from the corner of the street, released his psychological invisibility, walked over to Maric, who had no strength to move and looked desperate, and checked his condition.

"Three ribs were broken, the head suffered a heavy blow, one hand was broken, both feet lost a lot of flesh and blood, and large areas of the body were burned due to being 'purified'. It was such a tragic injury." Su Ya was a little bit tongue-tied, it was so serious. Despite his injuries, Maric still didn't lose consciousness. He still had the strength to look at him with vigilant and pleading eyes. He was worthy of being born in the 'temperance sect', and his willpower indeed surpassed that of many people.

Su Ya shook his head and stood up. He had nothing to do about this kind of physical injury. If it was a mental injury, he could use the 'Kuliler Star' to comfort and treat it, but for physical injuries today, because it was... When he went to Mr. A's secret party, he didn't bring any medicine with him, so there was nothing he could do for the time being, otherwise he wouldn't have just watched the 'living corpse' waiting to die.

He had always ignored this aspect before, mainly because the original work did not mention much about injury treatment, but that was also because the 'divineer' had too many methods, and generally could not use such items or Potion.He still needs to prepare some preparations for this destiny path. When he goes back, let's see if he can get the Sequence 6 extraordinary materials for the 'Earth' path. He should also bring more potions with him when he goes out in the future.

"do not want!"

Su Ya stood up and walked to Sharon who was in a coma, and stretched out his hand to her, intending to check on Miss Sharon. Before he started to check, he heard Maric's weak but anxious voice, and couldn't help but look back at him. .

"Please don't hurt Sharon." When Marich saw Su Ya turning around, he immediately changed his tone to a pleading tone.

After the lesson just now, Maric had obviously been forced to learn to show weakness when he was at a disadvantage. He took a few hard breaths and pleaded in a flattering and humble tone, "I'm going to die, wait until I die." , you can take away my extraordinary characteristics and anything on me, as well as these extraordinary characteristics on the ground, they are all yours, I just ask you not to hurt Sharon."

"If I really want extraordinary characteristics, the 'Resentful Soul' is much more valuable than the 'Werewolf'." Suya looked at him helplessly. When he saw the desperate look in Maric's eyes, he sighed and changed the subject. "So I don't need your extraordinary characteristics."

"I met a dying 'living corpse' on the way home. He paid me enough and asked me to come and save you. Is he your companion?" As he said this, he reached out and touched his arms. , intending to take out the rose that was used as a reward and give it to Maric to gain his trust.

But when he stretched out his hand, he found nothing. There was nothing in the inner pocket of his windbreaker.

Where did that rose go?Su Ya froze subconsciously. He lowered his head, looked at his empty fingers, and recalled his action of putting away the roses just now.

I just... seemed to have put it into the panel casually?
Wait, does this scene sound a bit familiar? Is this what I did when I put away the extraordinary characteristics of the Disaster Priest last time?
He opened the panel with a hiss, and moved his eyes to the warehouse interface for a quick glance, but did not spot the rose at the first time.

But now is not the best time to explore this. Maric and Sharon are still waiting for him, and calculating the timing, Lord Sesima should be arriving soon.

Su Ya closed the panel, raised the corners of his lips under Maric's somewhat suspicious gaze, showed a reassuring smile, and brushed seven or eight soothing words on the two of them in one breath, "Don't worry, I am a person who likes equal exchange. People who have received rewards will not regret it."
