Mysterious: The Innate Sacred Body of Destiny

Chapter 69 Klein: How am I supposed to explain this?!

"The silence has vanished..."

Feeling the sunlight shining on his face, Lorne instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes.

The sky seemed to brighten up again.

Is it just an illusion...?

Lorne remained vigilant. He opened his satchel, ruffled the orange cat's head, and asked softly.

"Rachi, have you discovered anything?"

In such situations, animals are more sensitive than humans, and given that Lachi is also an extraordinary being, it might be able to detect something unusual.

Meow~

The orange cat poked its head out of the bag, perked up its ears, its whiskers brushed against the edge of the bag, its nose twitched twice in the wind as it scanned the area, and then it withdrew its head back inside.

Nothing unusual... Seeing that Rachel didn't react in any particular way, Lorne frowned slightly.

He still had great faith in the "assassin" cat's perception.

In terms of perceiving malice, Lachi is clearly superior to herself.

He had just experienced an accident, which left him completely unable to relax.

Looking at the streets around him, which remained calm and normal, Lorne lowered his grip on the gun handle.

Am I just overthinking it?

……

Behind the Charness Gate.

Klein, who was lying on the ground, slowly opened his eyes. He used all his strength to grip the floor tiles, his elbows trembling as he propped himself up and sat up. He looked around in a slightly daze.

"I'm alive……"

Klein subconsciously lowered his head, unbuttoned his shirt to check his body, and found that apart from some scratches, he was not seriously injured.

Looking at the empty basement, Klein sighed.

It seems the "Blazing Sun" spell did not succeed in killing the opponent.

Fortunately, the person who attacked him had already left.

"That guy didn't kill me?"

Klein was somewhat puzzled; the man didn't seem like the type to let his enemies go.

You could tell from his arrogant, unguarded attitude that he was hit by his own attack. That arrogant guy actually let me go.

"strangeness?"

Looking at the messy traces around him, Klein had a guess.

Perhaps he was in such a hurry to leave that he forgot to finish me off.

I'm so lucky!

However, before he could even feel relieved, he discovered a serious situation.

Charnis Gate has been vandalized!

Oh no! A sealed artifact!

Klein suddenly realized that there were a lot of dangerous sealed artifacts behind the Chanis Gate, and with such a big accident, it was impossible for those seals not to be damaged.

If those sealed items break through the seal, the consequences will be unimaginable.

He quickly stood up and, despite the discomfort, activated his spiritual vision.

Sure enough, the seal behind the door disappeared.

Originally, this place should have been filled with countless thin lines, sometimes clustered together, sometimes extending outwards, densely packed with no blank spaces.

Klein noticed this the first time he came to Charnis Gate, and it left a deep impression on him.

But now, those fine lines have disappeared.

This indicates that the ashes of Saint Selena, the core of the Chanis Gate, were taken away.

He quickly ran over to check the condition of the sealed items.

Please, please don't let anything happen... Klein prayed silently to the goddess.

Fortunately, the goddess seemed to answer his prayers, and the most dangerous situation he feared did not occur.

The sealed objects were all unusually quiet, showing no signs of going out of control whatsoever.

Klein was also somewhat taken aback by this situation and found it hard to believe.

He activated his spiritual vision, scanned the area, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing unusual.

Is the effect of the seal still lingering?

Never mind, whatever, it's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright...

After pondering for a moment, he performed a simple divination. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he decided to go back downstairs to take a look.

Charis Gate has been hacked; the first floor is probably in complete chaos.

Since the gate had been forcibly breached, Klein returned to the ground without much difficulty.

He activated his spiritual vision, carefully surveying his surroundings, fearing that the attacker might still be there and had set up an ambush for him.

Upon reaching the doorway, he first peeked out halfway, and only after confirming that there was nothing amiss did he slowly reveal his entire body.

When he arrived in the hall, he found Rosanne and Mrs. Oriana lying on the floor.

It is clear that they have been attacked.

Klein rushed forward to check on the two of them.

He reached out to check their pulses and found that their carotid arteries were beating regularly under their skin. He then used his spiritual vision to examine their spirits.

He just fainted... Seeing that the two were alright, Klein breathed a sigh of relief.

It's incredibly fortunate that no one was injured or killed in such a major accident.

and many more!

Just as Klein was about to relax, he suddenly realized an even more serious problem.

He already had a whistleblower on his record, and then this incident happened. If the people from the Holy See come to investigate...

"How am I supposed to explain this?!"

……

circus.

Thanks to the excellent efficiency of Plum Blossom 5, the night watchman and the mechanical heart arrived late, after all the problems were resolved.

At this moment, Megas, Lanius, and the rest of the circus crew had all vanished. Apart from a few substitutes lying on the ground, there was no one else on the scene.

"How are the substitutes doing?" Frye asked the captain of Mechanical Heart, who was standing to the side.

"They seem to have been hit by some kind of shock and fainted, but they are not in any danger," the captain of the Mechanical Heart squad replied truthfully.

He then seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said in a thankful tone:

"The scapegoat who came to inform us earlier told us that there was an extremely dangerous group of wild extraordinary beings, and a high-ranking evil god attempting to descend."

"We were all shocked when we heard it." The captain of Mechanical Heart gave a helpless smile.

"If what he said is true, given the circumstances at the time, we simply had no way to stop it."

"A false alarm?" Frye exclaimed.

"It shouldn't be," Captain Mechanical Heart said, shaking his head slightly.

"We conducted a certain inspection of the surrounding environment."

"Something extraordinary was indeed found in the circus tents around the area."

"Moreover, judging from the various traces left at the scene, what the person who took the punishment said doesn't seem to be wrong."

As he spoke, he pointed to the bloodstains on the ground.

Even though they haven't been fully born as mythical beings, the blood of the offspring of evil gods is still rich in unimaginable spirituality.

"From this perspective, someone intervened and resolved this incident," analyzed the spiritualist Frye, sensing the surrounding chaos.

"Yes, and it's a high-sequence one at that." The captain of Mechanical Heart nodded.

"Thingen's been a bit turbulent lately," the two exchanged a glance and remarked simultaneously.

"Captain, how are you guys?"

Just as Frye and the captain of Mechanical Heart were discussing the case, the substitute punishment agent who had brought the news rushed over. When he saw the team members who had been placed on stretchers, he panicked for a moment.

"Don't worry, your teammates are all fine."

"They just fainted."

Fry stepped forward, gently patted the other man on the shoulder, and offered a few words of comfort.

"By the way, what about that woman possessed by the evil god, and that group of wild extraordinary beings? What happened to them? Were they taken care of?" The Punisher seemed to remember something, his voice tinged with fear.

"I don't know," Frye shook his head, speaking the truth.

"When we arrived, it was all over, and further investigation is needed to determine the specific circumstances."

Thinking about this, Frye felt inexplicably fortunate.

Currently, only three members of the Night Watch team have arrived at the scene: him, Xijia, and Luo Yao. Even if they come, they probably won't be able to do much and might just die in vain.

But there's nothing we can do about it. The night watchmen are severely depleted, and Leonard is off today. Apart from the three of them, there really aren't many other personnel available.

Oh right, and Klein too, I almost forgot about him.

Frye remembered his teammates who were temporarily imprisoned behind the Charnis gate.

So, after the three of us came out, there wasn't a single combatant left inside Blackthorn Security Company besides Klein...

Wait! There isn't a single combatant...

Could it be that……

Frye's pupils dilated slightly.

Captain Dunn Smith and Ms. Daly, the two highest-ranking members of the Order, suddenly left amidst the tense situation. Cohen Lee was seriously injured in a previous mission and had to rest at home, while Old Neil was taken away by the Sanctuary for investigation for attempting to perform a dark magic ritual, and even Klein was in a semi-detention state due to a report against him.

Everything that's happened recently is just too coincidental.

No, that's not right, it doesn't seem like a coincidence.

This is clearly an attempt by someone to reduce the fighting strength of the Night Watchers.

If that's really the case.

"Oh no, headquarters is in danger!" Frye said urgently, glancing at his two teammates beside him.

"We might have fallen into a trap. We'd better go back quickly."

……

A few blocks away, Klein, who was already panting heavily, stopped.

Due to the strenuous exercise, some of his wounds have reopened.

He gasped for breath and slowly sat down, leaning against the wall.

He ran away.

Yes, he ran away.

After confirming that Blackthorn Security Company was not in immediate danger, he chose to flee.

He wouldn't want to do this if he could, but the current situation is clear.

Charnis Gate has been compromised, and its sealing core has been stolen.

Although no one died, this was undoubtedly a major occult event.

No, it is precisely because no one died that the incident seems even more suspicious.

"Although I successfully injured the opponent with the talisman, but..."

But Klein couldn't explain the origin of the "Sunfire" talisman at all, and with such a big incident, the Sanctuary's investigation certainly wouldn't be rushed.

He had already been reported, but Frye had temporarily suppressed it. Now that such a major incident has occurred, even if Dunn and the others wanted to help him, it would be too late.

If the people of the Holy Temple are willing to investigate, the matter concerning the Fool and the time travel will surely be uncovered.

If you don't want to lose your freedom for the rest of your life, or be used as a living object for research.

Escape seemed to be the only option.

In this situation, even if the captain were willing to believe me, it would be useless. I couldn't explain the "Sunflare" talisman, and with the previous whistleblower letter, this was almost an unsolvable situation... Klein looked dejected.

After resting for a while, Klein stood up and ran towards the outskirts of Tingen.

Although he fled in haste, he was not without a plan. After realizing that his situation was almost hopeless, he urgently contacted the only person who could and was able to help him.

Mr. Azik, the teacher of the person suspected to be a high-sequence extraordinary individual.
