Mystery: Days and Nights of Struggle with the Research Society

Chapter 148 The kind-hearted 'Alsuhod's pen'

Cornley!
Klein's pupils shrank and he watched this scene through the crack in the door. He clenched his palms slightly, and his nails almost dug into his flesh. He just wanted to rush out and fight side by side with his colleagues.

But he knew that as a Sequence 8 whose frontal combat ability was not very strong, even if he rushed out at this time, he would only get killed. Instead, he would be more useful by temporarily dormant here to send a message to Sir Sesima.

He looked in the direction of Cornley and found that although he was badly hit by this fall and fainted directly, his injuries were not serious. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, slowly took half a step back, and shook slightly. The snow-white bell that Lord Sesima gave him before leaving.

The bell rang silently twice. Klein did not get any feedback, but he was not in a hurry. He just untied the bell and placed it on the armchair in the dark room. He quietly clasped one in the palm of his hand. Talisman lurked behind the door again, staring closely at Ince Zangwill's movements through the crack in the door.

This talisman is an advanced talisman in the sun domain - the 'Sun Flame Talisman'.

The last time he completed the mission in the town of Ramd with the captain and Frye, he had to guard the sealed artifact 3-0782 'Mutated Sun Holy Emblem' alone. During this period, he specifically conducted research on this sealed artifact out of curiosity. He performed divination and discovered the secret of this sealed artifact.

——Although at that time, because of a drop of divine blood in the Sun Holy Emblem, he accidentally looked directly at the Eternal Sun.If it weren't for the protection of this gray mist, he might have been burned into a pile of black ashes.

But he also gained a lot of knowledge from the 'Eternal Fierce Sun', including part of the magic potion formula and some knowledge of the sun's path - he used the dualistic ritual method he learned from the 'Eternal Fierce Sun': By using objects closely related to God to directly symbolize Him, and using candles to represent myself, I successfully created this 'Sun Flame Talisman'.

Although due to tight time, he only succeeded in making one Sun Flame Talisman, and he did not have time to find a way to get in touch with Sealed Artifact 3-0782 again. However, if he saw the right opportunity and used this Sun Flame Talisman to make a sneak attack, maybe he could Temporarily delaying Ince Zangwill.
As long as Sir Sesima can come back as soon as possible
Klein hurriedly glanced past Cornley, who was thrown into a coma with several internal guards. He saw Siga, who was thrown to the ground and coughed loudly, but still stretched out his hand to try to stop Ince Zangwill. ·Teon, it’s hard to suppress the worry in his heart.

But he could only stare closely at Ince Zangwill's shiny leather boots as he walked slowly through the crack in the door, not daring to cast his gaze too presumptuously on him, lest he be discovered.

"Stop." Siga T'ang was lying on the floor in front of Chanis' door. Her white hair was messy, and her cheek had a miserable bloodstain from the friction on the floor. She stretched out her blood-stained right hand with difficulty, He grabbed Ince Zangwill's brand new and shiny leather boots and tried to stop him from moving forward.

Ince Zangwill's footsteps paused for a moment, and then he clicked his tongue impatiently. The next moment, he kicked her away mercilessly, rolled her to the other side away from Chanis' door, and smashed her hard. He fell to the door of the guard room and fell to the ground motionless.

Ms. Siga Klein's eyes were sore. He bit the soft flesh on the inside of his cheek and tightly closed his mouth to prevent himself from screaming. He tried his best to hold his breath and look for opportunities.

Klein noticed that something seemed to be moving in the pocket on one side of Ince Zangwill. He opened his eyes and looked carefully, just in time to see a classical quill that seemed to be lifted by an invisible hand. It quietly floated out of Ince's pocket and landed quietly on the surface of the clothes behind him.

Is this 008?What is it doing?What other purpose does Ince Zangwill have?
Klein looked at this scene in surprise, frowning slightly in confusion.

Although he knew very little about 008, this quill was a legendary 'Level 0 Sealed Artifact', and it was said that it once caused the fall of an angel.
Klein held his breath and silently glanced at Ince Zangwill, who seemed to have not noticed anything and was still in the excitement of success. He quickly withdrew his gaze and quietly looked at the bird that fell on Ince Zangwill. On Zangwill's back, there is a classical quill with the top of its feathers slightly bent, as if he is thinking about something.

008 So this is what it looks like. Is this a sealed object with living characteristics?It really looks like it has become a spirit. I remember my classmate Shengun seemed to mention that this pen is not completely consistent with its user. It will even often try to kill its own user. .
I remember that Mr. Shengun also said that 008 might be able to communicate. If so, he would be very willing to provide 008 with what he needs in exchange for the right to use it. This statement is very strange. Could it be that this pen has really become a spirit? ?
Just when Klein was thinking wildly, the classical quill that had landed lightly on the clothes behind Ince Zangwill, but had never moved, suddenly moved, and flew in place as if it had finally decided something. He stood up and read on the black clergy robe worn by Ince Zangwill:
"Ince Zangwill was too excited because the plan was about to be completed. He mocked the stupidity of the top leaders of the Church of the Night for giving up on him. He couldn't wait to be promoted, so he didn't care about these low-sequence guardians. It was reasonable to ignore them and not intentionally kill them."

After writing this line of text, it paused and floated back a short distance, letting the kerosene lamp in the basement shine on this text, completely exposing it to Klein's eyes in the darkroom.

At the same time, Ince Zangwill, who had already taken a step to the other side and wanted to continue taking action, paused and seemed to be thinking about something.Then he sneered, and without even looking at the low-sequence Nighthawks who overestimated their capabilities, he walked directly to the opposite black iron door that gave people a sense of looking up, and pressed his palm on the door.

I don’t know what he did. The next moment, the double door engraved with seven dark holy symbols opened heavily, creaking, and the echo was empty and distant.

The Chanis door is opened!Before Klein had time to take a look, he felt an indescribable coldness coming from the opened door. This was not just a coldness in temperature, but a coldness that made people even spiritually tremble. I couldn't help but tremble a little, but I still looked over with firm eyes.

The Chanis door opened until only one person could pass through and then stopped. Klein also used the light of the gas lamps on both sides of the corridor to see the scene slightly closer inside the door.

It was a wide aisle, paved with ancient stone slabs, and there were candlesticks on the walls. Silver candles with carved patterns were burning on the candlesticks. The blue flames burned motionlessly on the candles, illuminating the light. There are stone doors on both sides of the corridor.

Is this what it looks like after Chanisgate?Klein sighed inwardly, and then he noticed that Ince Zangwill, who was standing in front of the open Chanis door, suddenly moved, as if he was about to turn around.

However, the one who is faster than him is 008.

As if being held by an invisible hand, it moved forward slightly, flew back to its original position, and rewrote a line on the clothes behind Ince Zangwill:

"Stupid Klein Moretti definitely didn't expect that the ritual left by Crestel Sesima would be invalidated the moment Ince Zangwill opened the Chanis door. At such a close distance, Klein ·Can Moretti really escape the eyes of Ince Zangwill?”

When Klein saw this line of writing, he opened his mouth slightly. He clenched the Sun Flame Talisman in his hand with some horror, keeping it ready to be activated at any time. However, he saw that the quill did not stop, but continued to use Ince... The space on the back of Zangwill's black priestly robes reads:

"The kind-hearted 'Pen of Alzuhod', out of kindness, reminded Ince Zangwill that he needed to hurry up and find the 'Ashes of Saint Selena' he wanted inside Chanis Gate as soon as possible, We couldn’t make any extraneous matters, so Ince Zangwill ignored the weak insect that was only a Sequence 8 hiding and walked into the Chanis Gate arrogantly.”

"Weak and stupid Klein Moretti should thank the great 'Alzuhod's Pen' for saving his life, otherwise"

Before he finished writing this line, Ince Zangwill, who had just taken a step, suddenly stopped, and the pen of Alsuhod that had been following him hit him and stopped. The act of writing.Woo——

A voice sounded like a nightmare in the middle of the night, and countless thin black threads poured out from the inside of the Chanis Gate with an unusually cold and calm feeling, firmly and tightly confining Ince Zangvi. You, bind him where he is.

Then, heavy footsteps were heard, and Klein heard the sound and saw an old man with deep wrinkles and thin hair walking slowly. He was wearing a black classical robe and holding a lantern in one hand.

The dim yellow light from the candlelight shone through the glass, illuminating the old man's expressionless face in alternating light and dark, and illuminating his light blue eyes as if they had been frozen for thousands of years.

Klein had seen this old man before, because at the end of dusk, he and his companions would come out from the Chanis Gate, pass through the guard room, and turn to St. Selina Church.

He is an old Nighthawk, a voluntary internal watcher, and as far as Klein knows, there are five such watchers. But in the battle just now, he only saw four.

It turns out that the last internal watcher is guarding the Chanis Gate. He is the last line of defense!
But how does this inner watchman do it?The inner guard's sequence is generally not high. How did he restrain Ince Zangwill at sequence 5?

Klein was puzzled.

"Internal Watcher." Ince Zangwill apparently also saw the appearance of the old man. He cursed in a low voice, "You are a life-threatening lunatic."

"It's worth it to exchange my life for yours, even if I have to immediately ascend to the goddess' kingdom, Sir Ince Zangwill." The internal guard with a pair of light blue eyes said, His voice was low, but his tone was slightly weak.

As he spoke, the internal caretaker gently raised his arm. Only then did Klein realize that the old internal caretaker's left hand was holding a square box that looked like silver and was made of bone. Seeing this When Klein first glanced at the box, he felt that his surroundings suddenly darkened, as if he was seeing the deepest night.

He blinked, and what he saw when he looked over was an extremely deep darkness, with bright grains of fine sand in the darkness. The scene presented a dreamlike beauty, like the starry sky at night packed into a box. .

Countless black, cold, and smooth filaments were pouring out from the box containing the saint's ashes, tightening with an unusually cold and calm feeling, tightly and tightly entangled with Ince Zangwe Your body imprisoned him in place.

But what shocked Klein the most was not why the internal caretaker was able to use 'Saint Selina's Ashes', but the way he used it.

Although according to common sense, the internal guardian whose body was severely eroded could not even actually open the box of 'Saint Selina's Ashes'.

But there is a way to use this sacred object by force.

Klein silently looked at the heart that was contracting and expanding at an extremely slow speed with a feeling of tranquility at night and changeable dreams. There was a heart in the middle of the fine sand that was as bright as a star in the dark night. A strong feeling surged in his heart. I feel a strong sourness, and my vision is a little blurry.

Although he was not familiar with the inner watcher, and even met him occasionally at dusk a few times, he never really said a word to him.

But at this moment, he felt an indescribable sourness.

He knew that the inner watcher had no chance of survival.

At this moment, Klein suddenly recalled what Dunn had said to him at the Blackthorn Security Company when he invited him to become a Nighthawk not long after he came to this world.

".We are guardians, are we also a group of wretches who are always fighting against danger and madness?" Klein clenched his fists and stared at the scene not far away. He had never been so concerned at this moment. This sentence has a profound understanding.

But
"Ince Zangwill, you deserve to die." Klein muttered.

He saw that the black filaments emerging from the ashes of St. Selena were slowly relaxing, and he saw that the old heart contained in the urn was contracting and expanding at a slower and slower speed, as if the next moment Just stop beating.

He saw Cornley and several other internal watchers who were in a coma, saw Siga Teon's bloody fingers tightly grasping the ground, trying hard to move his body, and saw Ince Zangwe A proud smile appeared on Er's face, seeing him struggling to break free for a moment, grabbing the quill behind him, and trying to write something on the hem of his clothes.

At this moment, Klein's mind was extremely clear and calm.

He poured most of his spirituality into the thin piece of gold engraved with mysterious patterns in his hand, and uttered an ancient Hermetic word in a low voice:

"Light!"
