The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

Blackthorn Security Company, the "Nighthawks" lounge, although fully staffed, was filled with a restrained silence. Even Leonard, who had just been enthusiastic and cheerful, just sat in his seat silently, his face expressionless.

Silent as water.

Today is indeed a day to be happy about, but the shadow of Old Neil's out-of-control death still lingers in the hearts of Tingen Nighthawks. Although the grief is diluted by joy, it is still heavy.

In the end, it was Leonard who stirred up the topic, broke the silence, and asked curiously:

"Ms. Dai Li, how did you convince the captain?"

What do you mean by this? Why do you feel as if you knew this day would come... Dunn reacted immediately and raised his eyes to look at Leonard. The latter winked at him and smiled tacitly.

"Psychic" Dai Li had already learned about Old Neil's death. She didn't joke like usual, but just replied softly:

"Your captain is a very proactive person, right?"

Dunn noticed the small movements of his palms, looked at each other with Dai Li, then looked around again, and tried his best to confirm in a brisk tone:

"Yes, I am a very proactive person."

With a "Puch" sound, Leonard covered his mouth, and the other team members also showed knowing smiles.

"Captain will only take the initiative when dealing with extraordinary events." Frye said in a cold tone, which attracted everyone's agreement.

Dunn seemed to be about to open his mouth to refute something, but suddenly stood up from his chair and turned to look at the stairs leading underground.

Sesima walked in front, carrying a suitcase made of silver-white metal, with an unusually serious expression.

Klein followed behind him, his eyes were complicated, apologetic, thankful, and relieved...

"Deacon Sesima, is there anything wrong with Klein?"

Dunn took a step forward and asked in a deep voice. Behind him, Dai Li, Leonard and others had already stood in a group with serious expressions.

Sesima glanced at everyone and said majestically:

"There is no problem with Klein. He has been successfully promoted to the 'Joker' of Sequence Eight. The problem is with all of us."

Dunn expressed his inability to understand these words. He looked at Klein and received a positive response from the latter. He was about to ask for the specific reason, but was interrupted by Sesima:

"If you want to explain on the way, please quickly arrange for personnel to guard Chanis Gate. Everyone else should bring the corresponding sealed objects and follow me."

Everyone, sealed objects... Dunn heard the seriousness of this emergency and calmly agreed:

"Okay, Deacon Sesima."

…………

On the speeding carriage, before anyone asked, Klein was the first to ask:

"With only two people on duty, wouldn't it be very dangerous if an enemy attacks us by surprise?"

Dunn held a sealed object covered with black cloth in both hands, and with no one sitting beside him, he replied in a deep voice:

"When members of the Nighthawks are in danger, they can hide in Chanis Gate and resist attacks from most enemies... In contrast, you should tell everyone the reason for this action."

Klein heard this and asked, "Do you still remember Lanerwus?"

"That fraudster?" Leonard reacted first and asked.

"Yes." Klein nodded and continued: "When he was in Tingen, he defrauded a large sum of gold pounds, deceived a young girl, and left behind an unborn child."

"When I was working part-time at a fortune teller club, I happened to meet that pregnant girl. I tried to turn on my spiritual vision, but I encountered the strongest spiritual warning since I became an extraordinary person: once I turned on my spiritual vision, I would observe her belly. My child will die."

"This reminds me of a sentence in "Apocalypse of the Night"..."

"Don't look directly at God."

Do not look directly at God... The Nighthawks, including Dunn, were all shocked. They had dealt with many cultists, but they never thought they would encounter extraordinary events related to real gods. This was not at their level. A job that extraordinary people can handle.

"Don't worry, the matter is not as serious as you think." Sesima spoke out to break the solid atmosphere in the carriage and said with relief:

"There is a high probability that it will be an evil ritual that is being held, and it has some connection with a certain evil god...and Klein discovered it in time. The ritual should not be completed yet. I have enough confidence to eradicate it."

"The goddess will protect us." He nodded four times on his chest.

"Praise the goddess." Everyone said silently in their hearts.

…………

Arriving at the destination, Frye, who acted as coachman, stopped the carriage smoothly.

Sesima took the lead and stood at the front. She closed her eyes and pressed her eyebrows, releasing the natural spirit that could not be detected by the naked eye. The latter quickly floated towards the townhouse in front of her.

Five seconds later, Sesima's face turned gloomy and she ordered in a deep voice:

"Go in."

Dunn quickly stepped forward and knocked on the door, showing a middle-aged woman her police card:

"I am a police officer from the Tingen Police Station. I want to find your daughter, Megoos, to find out more about the situation."

The well-maintained middle-aged woman couldn't help but be stunned, and replied in a panic:

"Megoos is pregnant, how can she violate the law?"

Dunn explained skillfully: "She did not violate the law. We were just asking about a case."

"Is it Lanerwus' case? Have you caught the liar?" the middle-aged woman asked urgently.

"Our time is very tight, please let us finish the work first." Dunn assumed a businesslike attitude and was able to successfully enter the house.

"These are my colleagues."

The middle-aged woman was inevitably surprised when she saw the Nighthawks members dressed up in different styles. After hearing the explanation, she became relieved and led the way by saying:

"Megoos is pregnant and her movements are not very convenient. She is resting in her room."

Opening the door, she found that the bedroom was empty. The woman almost screamed and fell to the floor, then suddenly fell asleep and was placed on the sofa in the living room.

Sesima strode into the room, opened her suitcase, took out a pure white bone sword less than one meter long, and stood it on the ground.

In the slightly dark girl's bedroom, the dagger quietly exudes a pure white, moist glow, like the moon hanging high in the night to comfort people's hearts.

The layers of patterns and symbols on the surface of the sword lighted up at the same time, as if all the light disappeared completely and was sucked into the bone sword. The next second, the light returned to the eyes.

Sesima stood up, faced the people standing scattered and waiting, and said solemnly:

"It is indeed the breath of the 'True Creator', but we arrived too late."

Klein, who had just become a "clown", felt his heart sink. He suddenly felt that his group was like a real clown, being led by the nose. He thought he had finally caught up with the enemy, but found that the opponent had already disappeared.
