"Bang——"

That weak figure fell heavily to the ground in front of Klein.

His heart seemed to fall with him, sinking to the bottom.

It wasn't until Angel slowly climbed up in the rising dust and walked towards him with unsteady steps that he breathed a sigh of relief and felt the severe pain in his left arm again.

Doesn't she have the ability "Feather Fall"? How could he fall directly from a high place?

Klein was curious as to why the opponent did not use the "Assassin's" Feather Fall ability to fall slowly, but fell to the ground like a free fall. Fortunately, the stone slabs on the ground had been lifted off by the bomb and were mainly made of soft soil. Otherwise, even Beyonder's body would have lost half of its life after falling from an altitude of more than ten meters.

But seeing the injuries on Angel's body clearly, Klein's heart that had just been relieved became high again.

Her face was covered with blood and dust, and the light-colored dress that was supposed to be delicate and decent was now full of tears, stained with blood and dust, and stained tan. The wound across her abdomen was still oozing blood, continuing to stain the dress.

The right hand was burnt black from the elbow down, and the original shape of the palm could not be seen, as if the five fingers were fused together.

The fall just now also caused a lot of damage to her. Angel's left shoulder was hanging at an unnatural angle Distortion, and her entire left arm was hanging softly by her side. Her steps were unsteady, and she would pause after taking a few steps.

Only her purple eyes were still clear.

"Where's your hand? I'll see if I can get it back. Hurry, the time for the pocket watch is coming soon."

Angel came out with a hoarse voice that was completely different from usual.

Klein squirmed, not knowing what to say, and then turned around, trying to find his forearm that was chopped off during the battle.

He suddenly remembered the captain's action of tearing open his chest and feeding Saint Selena's Ashes with his own blood, stimulating Saint Relic's abilities.

"Save the captain first, he is more seriously injured!"

He shouted anxiously, not caring about looking for the broken arm.

Now only "Damage Transfer" can save Dunn!

Angel was stunned, glanced at Klein's left elbow that was still dripping with blood, and nodded hesitantly.

Staggering to Dunn Smith, who was still holding the urn and lying softly, Angel squatted down, put his charred right arm on his dislocated left hand, and touched his chest where blood was still pouring out.

Klein stood behind her, looking at the two of them anxiously and expectantly.

After a while, Angel stood up again and turned around, with no expression on his face covered with dust and blood.

Suddenly, panic appeared in her purple eyes.

Was it a success or a failure?

Klein looked at the other party in confusion, and then remembered the time limit and negative effects of "Magician Pocket Watch".

Could it be the pocket watch time...

He felt a pain in his chest, as if his heart was being grasped.

Wasn't the captain still able to be rescued?

No, this is not an illusion.

Klein's pupils tightened and he lowered his head to look at his chest.

A slightly pale palm penetrated from his left chest, and it was covered with blood.

Who is it? That Rose Bishop who came out halfway? But he was already dead, turned into a lump of flesh and blood whose shape was unclear.

Is it the Megose that didn't die after eating two Flaring Sun Charm?

She also died along with Evil God's Offspring in her belly.

The palm jerked back.

Klein Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and then his thoughts collapsed, his legs lost strength, and he fell to the ground softly on his side.

In his sight that almost lost focus, a pair of brand new, polished leather boots crossed his body and walked towards Dunn, who was lying motionless on the ground, and Angel, who was rushing towards him angrily.

Thinking and breathing were almost at a standstill. Klein stared blankly at Angel holding her left arm with her right hand, holding a dagger to stab the dark-blond man, but the other party easily dodged it, held the dagger with her backhand, and stabbed her chest.

The thin body lay on its back, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The man in the double-breasted tuxedo squatted down and took the Saint Selena's Ashes Box from the captain's arms.

Klein's eyes went dark, and all consciousness disappeared.

A few minutes later, Leonard Mitchell, who was leaning against the stone podium, shook his body and slowly opened his eyes.

In the bloody smell that was so strong that it would not dissipate, he climbed up with difficulty and looked around.

In the messy park, he saw countless broken limbs and broken arms, as well as countless innocent citizens with eyes wide open and refusing to rest in silence.

He saw Megose's head disappeared, his limbs had melted into a ball, and his abdomen was pierced.

He saw Dunn Smith lying motionless on the ground, his shoulder bruised with blood. He saw Klein Moretti lying on his side with a hole in his chest. His left arm had disappeared from the elbow down, but he still struggled to stretch forward.

He saw Angel Granger with a dagger stuck in his chest, his right hand as black as coke, and his clothes in tatters.

No... not really...

Leonard There is a voice inside that keeps denying all this.

He staggered towards his teammates, walking back and forth beside several corpses, constantly verifying, but in the end he could only accept the unchangeable reality.

"No... no... no!"

He kept repeating this word in his throat, fell to his knees, tears streaking his face.

After an unknown amount of time, his neck shook and he listened intently. Then he clenched his teeth and squeezed out a suppressed roar.

The "Mandated Punishers" team, which had just driven a carriage down a small road and carried Sealed Artifact into the park, was frightened by the roar that sounded like hell and stood there at a loss.

On Red Moon Street, on a hired carriage slowly driving towards Steam Train Station, a pale hand opened the note on his lap and quickly turned back from the page Oldest One.

After turning over the part filled with Juanxiu font, a page with almost the entire page covered with text appeared.

(Almost all of it is painted black)

"Cole Granger luckily didn't die when her promotion was out of control. She expelled part of Beyonder Characteristic and became an assassin again, a female assassin."

"Miss Granger suddenly woke up and reported herself and her upline Madam Sharon, which attracted the attention of Nighthawks. Dunn Smith led a team to investigate the case, and happened to be traveling with Daly Simone of Tingen City."

"Dunn, who worked overtime to solve many occult incidents, did not pay attention to confidentiality. Madam Sharon's eyeliner discovered Angel Granger's actions. After a simple divination, she decided to go to Blackthorn Security Company personally to solve this problem. Tingen Team almost went out in full force, and the rear is weak. This choice is very reasonable."

(A few lines were painted over)

"With the help of Angel Granger and her combat power beyond that of an assassin, the Nighthawkss killed the intruding Madam Sharon. Frustratingly, Daly survived."

(Defaced most of the page)

"Klein, who was supposed to die in the warehouse, survived again. With the help of Angel, who was also supposed to die here, Magician killed Secret Order."

"But things still went smoothly. Dunn came into contact with the Antigonus Family's notes and was secretly contaminated."

"No matter what, this person who has repeatedly undermined Ince Zangwill's plans must leave Tingen City immediately."

(Line after line of text has been blacked out, more than the previous ones combined)

"Dunn Smith's condition improved significantly. He mastered 'Acting Method', found his own Acting Rule, and began to quickly digest Potion, which alleviated the contamination he had received before."

"Angel Granger, who was eager for promotion, should have secretly taken 'Instigator' Potion after leaving the sight of Tingen Team, and then died from the legacy pollution. She lost control, but she actually returned to Tingen City alive and revealed Acting Method to her captain. Ince was puzzled by this, but he could only accept the reality."

"The story has a new twist."

"Azik, who has many secrets hidden in his body, saw traces of Ince's influence on Angel, and reminded the other party, just like he once reminded Klein."

"The two survivors began to search for 'Red Chimney House' separately with the help of the collected information. Although they would always choose routes that did not include the target, delaying the time to find the truth, this still disrupted Ince's plan. He must speed up his pace."

"Demoness of Pleasure Mitis, whose lover died at the hands of Angel, has been looking for an opportunity to kill her enemy. She cooperated with the Aurora Order Oracle who were inspired by Creator and infiltrated Tingen City to deal with their common enemy, Nighthawks."

"Ince thinks they can be his help, and the kind-hearted Ince doesn't mind helping them."

"Mitis contacted New Party councilor Maynard who aspired to the position of mayor, and after helping him deal with his political opponents, he obtained North Borough Red Moon Street's Street Park's refurbishment order also makes her Spirituality more unstable, but Affliction's Demoness of Pleasure just wants to end it as soon as possible."

"At the same time, Ms. D of Aurora Order is collecting funds to welcome the arrival of God. Her subordinate Gabriau left clues in an operation to rob the rich, and was caught by the Nighthawkss."

"Angel met Gabriau on the way to the bank to deposit money and recognized him. Nighthawks and Nighthawks confirmed Aurora Order's hiding place through divination."

"The Red Gloves team arrived as promised. They broke into Ms. D's house. After a fierce battle, Ms. D successfully escaped and directed Red Gloves's attention to Tingen City. Mr. C, who was hiding behind, continued their secret plan."

"At the same time, Lanevus has once again entered the sight of Nighthawks. Soon, the clues he left will be found by Nighthawks."

(Approximately half a page was painted over)

"Dunn Smith digests Potion faster than Ince expected, so he will soon complete the role of 'Nightmare' and become Sequence 6's 'Soul Assurer'. His contributions accumulated over the years have long exceeded the requirements for promotion."

"Ince must speed up his plan."

"Klein and Angel decided to submit a special application under the suggestion of Daly who briefly returned to Tingen City. They will teach Acting Method to other teammates before taking the oath. This is in line with their characters and is very reasonable."

"This will allow the senior deacons who come to Tingen for examination to follow the process and question all Nighthawks who know Acting Method one by one."

"Neil, who was contaminated by Hidden Sage, exposed himself under the examination of the senior deacon. As a last resort, Dunn killed this teammate with his own hands. This shaken The principles he adhered to made his Spirituality no longer stable and delayed his promotion. Luck's Ince Zangwill gained valuable time."

"The grand venue arranged by Mr. C and Mitis attracted the baby in Megose's belly. Under the guidance of the baby, she will go to North Borough's renovated Street Park and give birth to God's heir in the sacrifice."

"While passing by Blackthorn Security Company, Megose happened to remember the Seer who had helped her, so she came there and attracted the attention of Nighthawks."

"The calm Dunn Smith tried to introduce it to Chanis Gate, taking advantage of the environment and items to fight, but Megose felt the call again, and she was ready to go to Street Park immediately."

"The Nighthawks team had to make a choice between protecting themselves wisely or fighting to the death. Dunn took out Saint Selena's Ashes, and together with Klein and Leonard, went to Street Park to stop Megose. This is their style of behavior, which is very reasonable."

(Several lines edited out)

"Mr. C detonated the bomb that had been buried underground during the renovation. However, due to the interference of Angel, who was warned in advance through an unknown method, the number of sacrifices in the park did not reach the predetermined number, which would make Megose The baby in 's belly is even more powerless, but this is exactly in line with Ince's plan, yes, just right! He is not planning to let the real God come to Tingen City."

"The battle between Megose who turned into a monster and the Nighthawkss began. With the help of the ashes of Saint, Blood Vessel Thief and the strangely appearing Advanced Charm, the Nighthawkss Megose was seriously injured, and the weird bullet of Angel simultaneously killed the out-of-control Mitis, Mr. C who sacrificed himself, and the heir of God who was about to arrive in an incomplete form."

"Dunn Smith died in the battle, and Saint Selena's Ashes was also severely injured. In order to save Spirituality, Angel Granger used Mystical Item to save her teammates and fell directly from a high altitude, which caused her to lose her final combat effectiveness. Ince failed to get a chance to fight head-on. He was a little frustrated, but this did not affect his purpose."

"He respected Mitis's wishes and killed Klein first, and then the other. After dealing with the pair of guys who always disrupted his plans, Ince took Saint Selena's Ashes, passed by Mandated Punishers who were late to activate Sealed Artifact, and left the scene."

The note turned to a blank page. The middle-aged man with dark blond hair, one blind eye, and profound facial features picked up a classical-shaped quill pen and wrote a sentence in the blank space:

"Tingen City's story is coming to an end."

Closing the note, he looked out the window with his dark blue eyes. Two four-wheel carriages with police logos passed by. Inside the open doors, one could see groups of "Machinery Hivemind" members, fully armed and with serious faces.

"It seems like something big happened to the new park we passed just now. There was smoke and explosions. Do you know what happened?"

The driver also looked at the police carriage curiously, and then asked from the window in front.

"It seems that there is a group of bad guys who want to blow up the park. They even want to blow up Tingen City. Many people died there."

Ince Zangwill didn't want to answer the casual conversation with the coachman, but he was in a good mood today, so he decided to chat with the man.

"Wow, awesome, awesome. But I see you're not in a hurry at all. Someone must have successfully stopped them, right?"

The young coachman asked in surprise, his right eye narrowing involuntarily.

Ince had a sarcastic smile on his lowered lips.

"Yeah, they saved Tingen."

The two chapters are really difficult to separate, so I posted them together...

If nothing else, there will be nothing today.
