Mystery: The Queen and the Chariot

"Crench."

The wheels stopped, and Leonard got out of the car first, followed by Dunn, Klein, and finally Caios who was still silent.

She looked up and saw the corpse in the distance.

This is the corpse of an Extraordinary.Because it has not been processed, it may be polluted while alive, and some mutations have occurred.

The cheeks have been blurred... the nose has collapsed... the body has been elongated, and it looks a bit like a snake without scales...

She remained silent.

----

"Caios!" Klein called his companion's name in disbelief.

Leonard didn't look back, but continued to drive the "blood vessel thief"—for some reason, the same "stealing" ability appeared in that darkness, stealing Leonard's many extraordinary abilities with ease.

His expression was slightly invisible, maybe it was the heaviness of losing his teammates, maybe it was the relief that what he thought in his heart finally came true.

"Come on!" he yelled.

Klein gritted his teeth, held the rune that smelled of blood, and rushed forward.

"Disaster!"

As the Hermes language sounded, the rune lit up with a blood-red light.

----

Want to escape from Tingen...

Where can I escape...

Caios wandered blindly in the deserted neighborhood, her face still expressionless.

Am I...shouldn't be doing this...

Less than half a second after the idea was born, it was snuffed out by herself.

Now is the time, why go back?

Thinking about the good, as long as this disaster does not directly destroy the entire Tingen in the end, he can escape... the messenger.Luca as a messenger can...

And it's impossible for the Nighthawks to divination my location... the protection left by Phoenix...

Caios stopped and stood where she was, expressionless.

Phoenix...the thing I loathe...that I can only rely on his gift in the end...what an irony...

"Ji Gu~ Ji Gu~"

A strange chirp sounded.

Caios turned her head slightly and saw the crow with thirteen eyes landed on the street lamp.

----

It turned out to be the case.

Klein's heart became colder and colder, but he still flexibly switched between the "Time Stealing" rune and the "Disaster" rune, either to divert or attack, and successfully attacked the canvas.

But it only attacked once.The toughness of that canvas exceeded Klein's expectations, and the "disaster" rune weakened by darkness could not directly destroy it, but could only cause a certain amount of damage.

But, unsurprisingly, they had no second chance to attack.

They finally understood the true function, or logic, of that "invisible thing".

copy.

A copy that does not exceed the original in strength, but can exceed in quantity.

Because the power of the "disaster" rune was displayed in front of the "invisible thing", so now the "invisible thing" can use unlimited attacks with power exceeding the specification.

Even if the three of them have exhausted their strength, they cannot continue or even just support.

And on that canvas, the completely decayed wooden door has been knocked out of cracks.

"Captain, there is no time, we have to make some progress, I have a thought **** Nader took a moment to say something, but as he spoke, the attack of the "invisible thing" broke through Dunn and Klein's interception hit Leonard who didn't completely dodge.

He didn't make any sound and fell to the ground as if dead.

...Leonard!Klein glanced at his fallen companion anxiously, but he didn't even have time to confirm whether he was alive.

At this time, Dunn was silent, and without any hesitation, he pulled out his heart.

----

The figure of Dunn Smith in a thin black windbreaker was still standing there, and the heart in the Santa Selina urn was still beating slowly.

"Captain..." Klein choked up and said.

The canvas scorched by the fire was smoking black and completely damaged.This ceremony should have been interrupted at the most critical moment.

At this time, Dunn Smith turned his head sideways and looked at Klein, with a gentle and relaxed smile on his pale face, and his voice was as mellow as ever:

"We saved Tingen."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to be back when he was 20 years old, and he was no longer so calm and no longer so serious, and squeezed his left eye at Klein.

The heart inside the casket of Saint Selina stopped beating and turned into a bright spot of light, which dissipated to the surroundings. Dunn's body fell powerlessly, like an abandoned rag doll.

"Captain!!" Klein yelled frantically.

If... If Caios didn't escape... But Fan Duo can help...

Suddenly, gunshots rang out.

What came faster than the gunshots was the pain in his chest.

I……

Klein stretched out his hand feebly and touched the blood on his chest.

This shot pierced his heart.

The clown's foresight was of no use at all, he only saw a bird flying and took away the urn that once contained Dunn's heart.

"...It's really troublesome." Klein finally heard a man's voice. He seemed to pick up a gun and fired another bullet somewhere.

There was darkness in front of him, and he lost all consciousness.

Before we have time to cry, the bullets passing through will take away the temperature.

----

"Ji Gu~ Ji Gu~"

Hearing Luka's voice, Caios suddenly felt something was wrong.

To be precise, this "wrongness" did not come from Luca, but from... something she didn't even know.

Caios doesn't absolutely trust her intuition, but this intuition has a high rate of correctness, or it can be said that things that have been verified almost never go wrong.

She heard voices, boots stamping on the ground.

"Who?" she said, drawing a pistol at the same time.

"Very, very sorry..." She heard a stammering voice.

"I, I'm lost..." The short man appeared in front of her, and she pressed the trigger of the pistol without hesitation.

It went very smoothly, just like the scene when Caios had envisioned in his mind countless times when encountering the enemy, the enemy had just made a sound, before he even had time to finish his sentence, he was pierced through the head by a bullet.

Seeing the fallen body of the short man, Caios was slightly confused.

Something is wrong...so easy to die...

Caios's intuition warned her again, and she realized the danger, and quickly took a few steps back.

A white light flashed over Jeremy's body, and he reappeared in place, with the same body and clothes as a few seconds ago.

"Sorry..." Before he finished speaking, another bullet pierced his brain.

The next second, he stood up again. After successfully dodging the first bullet, he was hit in the throat by the second bullet and struggled for a few seconds before dying.

Can bullets kill him... In other words, physical means probably won't work...Maybe only occult attacks can work...

At such times, there is no point in running away.The opponent's goal is very clear, that is himself.The excuse of getting lost is too ridiculous.The only way to survive is to kill the opponent.

Caios held the dagger with her other hand, and the charged attack directly cut through the abdomen of Jerome who had been revived again, almost cutting him in half.

At the same time, Kaios put away her pistol and threw a rune.

The "Death" rune from the Evernight Goddess.Works best on spirits.If it is on a living creature, it needs to have a weak vitality to be effective, otherwise it will only cause weakness.

Jeremy paled and died again, and this time with a weird smile on his face.

Caios felt bad, but there was nothing she could do.

"I already know your abilities very well."

The bullet landed in Jerome's chest, but only slightly dented it.

Keos swung the dagger again, trying to kill Jerome again to buy time to escape - she had already decided that she could not defeat him.

But the dagger was caught.Jeremy grabbed Caios' dagger with his bare hands.

His palm was cut by the dagger, and blood flowed out.

"As Sequence Nine, your abilities are really simple and easy to target. As long as you can't break through my defenses, you have nothing to do with me. As it happens, almost all of your abilities are based on the 'kinetic energy' on the real side hit..."

Caios immediately took out another rune and used it directly at Jerome, but he didn't get the desired effect - he directly punched Caios' hand, directly smashing his bones, The runes also came out.

Caios let go of the dagger, gave up the weapon directly, made her body as light as a feather, and fled here at the fastest speed.

"...So you only need to limit your speed, and use stronger physical strength from the warrior path to kill you." Jeremy said.

Caios's body was covered with a layer of black air, corroding her flesh and blood, slowing down all her movements.

"Excuse me for the devil's little trick." Jeremy said with a smile.

He stepped forward and punched Caios, smashing her head.

Then turned away.

"Ji Gu~ Ji Gu~"

A strange cry echoed, and Kaios' headless body slowly fell down...
