As night fell, Dunn personally drove the carriage belonging to Nighthawks to the scene.

Angel and Leonard quietly left the second-story house and came to the carriage, only to find that in addition to Dunn Smith, Klein had also followed them.

"Captain, why did you let him come here? When the fight breaks out, we can't guarantee his safety."

Angel was a little anxious. After the three people discussed it at her house, they decided to let Klein find the altar and then go back and replace Dunn. Three Beyonder, who were good at melee combat, entered the building and launched a sneak attack to kill Criminal, who had built the altar and performed the curse ritual.

Unexpectedly, Klein himself followed him back.

"I asked him to come. As a formal member of Nighthawks, he will have to participate in front-line battles in the future. I will take this opportunity to let him feel the atmosphere of the battlefield."

"Furthermore, we will also need his 'Seer' to search the scene and solve the problem of the curse ritual."

"I will stay away from the battlefield and come back when the battle is over." Klein jumped off the carriage and added when he saw Angel's hesitant expression.

"... Then take these bullets, they can effectively deal with the invisibility of 'Witch', but remember not to fight the enemy head-on, you will definitely not be able to defeat her..."

Angel saw that the other party was already here, and it was too late to drive him back. He could only take out the "Phantom Phosphor Eruption" he carried with him, gave two to Klein, and introduced how to use it.

Of course, she did not forget to give Dunn and Leonard two bullets each. In the battle with Madam Sharon, this kind of bullet has been proven to extremely Earth Mother limit the movement of invisible enemies.

"Old Neil doesn't have this kind of bullet... is it the prayer of Hermes?"

Klein picked up a bullet and brought it close to his eyes to observe, but he didn't have "Assassin" and "Sleepless" Dark Vision. With the dim light from the oil lamp hanging on the carriage, he could barely make out the type of text etched on the bullet case, but he couldn't read it carefully.

"Oh? Has it been changed to Hermes Script? She used a text that we couldn't understand before, but it seems that it has been improved."

Leonard also came over. The night was the home court of "Sleepless". At this time, he seemed more energetic than during the day.

"Okay, let's go back and do the research on the text. Let's take action as soon as possible to avoid being noticed by the target."

Dunn interrupted the conversation between the two with a slight cough. He buttoned up his windbreaker and left his silk hat in the car. The light brown hair on both sides of the temples was combed back, making him appear more capable than usual.

"Okay, Klein, stay away from the carriage and hide on the other side. If the other party flees, they will probably seize the carriage."

Angel took out the smaller caliber revolver and gave instructions to Klein.

The appearance of "Bloodthirst" is too strange, and she doesn't plan to use it now.

"But, Captain, since we have determined that this is the location of Curse Altar, why not just..."

Picking up the pistol and checking the ammunition, Angel suddenly remembered that the "Machinery Hivemind" of Enmat Harbor had faced similar problems and their solutions, and hesitantly said to Dunn.

Klein had already taken two steps and was about to find a place to squat in the grass, but when he heard Angel speak, he turned back and came closer.

"We can let Klein do some divination first to confirm whether the ceremony will take effect immediately. If we still have time, we can notify the police, Tingen City's garrison, or even 'Machinery Hivemind' to bring in some heavy artillery and blow up this house and the entire altar!"

It has been a month since she came to this world. She is used to the low technology of the steam era and the high mystery of Potion and Beyonder Item. She almost forgot that she can also solve the problems faced by several people through heavy weapons.

Regardless of whether it is "Magician" or "Witch", it will be difficult to escape when faced with multiple large-caliber artillery attacks with a killing radius of more than 20 meters.

Dunn seemed stunned after hearing this. His gray eyes looked at Angel with a hint of confusion. He stayed silent for a while and then looked at Klein.

"You try, um, try to divine according to Angel. If there is any danger, stop immediately. The other party's ritual may be connected to some dangerous existence."

Since the afternoon, Trissy has felt uneasy in his heart.

After the small mirror she placed in the bedroom as an early warning sounded the warning, she searched around the house, but found nothing.

The house Mitis chose next to West Borough Tussock River is said to be the inheritance of a certain Baron in Tingen City. It was deserted a year ago and is no longer inhabited. It may have been forgotten by the heirs long ago.

There are several houses around that have also been uninhabited for a long time, and to the west is the farmland in the suburbs. It is usually inaccessible, but once it gets dark, it is even more invisible. It is a good place to build an altar.

It stands to reason that no one should be discovered here, at least not so soon...

She was still unable to get rid of the uneasiness, and even tried to perform Magic Mirror Divination, but downstairs was the statue of Primordial Demoness, the Cage of countless innocent souls. Magic Mirror Divination was performed twice in a row, but failed.

Looking at the night outside the window, she decided to go downstairs to find Mitis.

The "Demoness of Pleasure" whom she didn't like very much but had to come into contact with frequently.

"Bang bang——"

After walking through the corridor where the innocent souls floated with ease, Trissy came to the lobby on the first floor and knocked on the door of the restaurant.

"What's the matter?"

The door was opened from the inside, and a tall and thin figure flashed out. She took off her hood, revealing long gray hair and a beautiful face under the hair.

"Mitis, something is wrong. My Magic Mirror issued a warning, but no abnormality was found when I checked around. The divination attempt also failed."

"Near the altar and the statue, all divination that does not point to 'Primordial' will fail. I remember I have taught you this."

After commenting in a calm but unceremonious tone, the gray-haired woman - Mitis took out a palm-sized mirror from under her black robe. The mirror surface was covered with an unknown dark red substance and did not reflect any light.

"... You are the beginning of all things, and you will also be the end of all things..."

Using the divination Magic Mirror that had been warmed by her own Spirituality, she recited the person's true name and performed a quick divination.

The crimson substance on the mirror surface quickly disappeared as if evaporated, and the smooth surface revealed a scene that only a diviner could see.

"The divination was interfered with, and the other party took Anti-Divination measures, but luckily, 'Primordial' was right next to it, and their Anti-Divination couldn't do much. Let me see... the windbreaker, for night operations, is the official Beyonder, probably from Evernight..."

Mitis murmured to himself, Trissy stood aside, waiting anxiously.

"The other party has a young 'Seer'. They used divination to find this place... I have taught you a long time ago that after every action, you must use Black Flame to clear the traces and resist divination. It seems that you have not learned at all."

Her eyes did not leave Magic Mirror, but her mouth was aggressive.

The next moment, Mitis's expression changed.

"Heavy artillery! Damn it, we can't let them leave."

Magic Mirror exhausted its power, and the crimson liquid leaked out again, covering the mirror. Its owner didn't care about it at this time, but said to Trissy hastily.

"You immediately go to the altar, stop the ceremony, destroy the mirror in the bedroom, and then leave with the statue of 'Primordial'. I will stop them. They will find out as soon as the ceremony stops."

"What's going on? Heavy artillery?" Trissy's round cheeks were deformed due to surprise, destroying the harmonious beauty.

"The Nighthawks gang has discovered this place. They don't plan to attack in. Instead, they want to call in the army and use artillery to flatten this house and the entire altar!"

Mitis's voice became shrill with anxiety.
