In the mind's mind, there was a battle between heaven and man between observing discipline and embezzling stolen goods. Angel felt that the cellar with the skylight opened was getting a little stuffy at this time.
Clement didn't notice anything unusual about his teammates. He frowned and walked around the cellar with Andrew, trying to find some clues, but found nothing except gravel and bloodstains on the ground.
"It looks like there is nothing useful left. Let's go back to the station first and see what the results of the other two teams are. Rupert Norman also needs to be treated as soon as possible to eliminate the hidden dangers of contamination."
In the end, the Nighthawks captain gave up the search.
"Okay, in addition, Captain Clement..."
Angel hesitated for a moment and finally stopped the other party.
"What's the matter?"
Clement turned around and asked in confusion.
"Well, I leave this Sealed Artifact to you..."
Before Angel took it out of her pocket, she took it off Clement's hand, Sealed Artifact "2-031", which was used to prohibit Tomaz from using flames Teleportation, Hand of Declaration. This Sealed Artifact, which looked like a leather glove, now turned into a harmless appearance, folded into a ball, lying quietly in the palm of Angel's hand.
"Ah, yes, I almost forgot."
Clement has similar symptoms to other "Nightmare". He patted his head and seemed to remember that there was such a Sealed Artifact. He reached out to take it and put it into his pocket casually.
Although this "Hand of Declaration" will greatly Earth Mother affect the user's mind in battle, it is a rare Sealed Artifact that does not produce negative effects when in contact. As long as you don't wear it, it is no different from an ordinary glove.
I don't know what kind of negative effects this pocket watch has... According to mystical experience, the stronger the effect of Mystical Item, the more severe the negative effects. It can allow the user to obtain several kinds of "Magician" Beyonder Ability, and the negative effects must be very shocking.
Angel touched the bullet box in his pocket through his clothes. In the end, he still couldn't make up his mind and handed the pocket watch inside to Clement.
Even if it is handed over, it will still be returned to "Machinery Hivemind"...
She soothed her little conscience.
Andrew needed to stay and command the police to clean up the scene, and also to prevent them from coming into contact with occult things including the "Aurora Order" statue. Angel could only take Rupert Norman, who had woken up but was still groggy and could not answer questions, with Clement, and returned to "Silver Bullet Detective Agency" in a police carriage.
The person who called Door Opening to greet them was Daly Simone who had returned a long time ago. Her clothes were a little messy, but she was still in high spirits. The two Nighthawks who followed her to deal with the West Borough sugar factory were sitting in the lobby drinking coffee with indifferent expressions. It seemed that the battle at the factory was going smoothly.
"How did you... what happened to him?"
Daly was just about to ask a few people why they came home late, but when he saw Rupert being supported by two people, with his eyes distracted, he immediately frowned.
"When I turned on Spirit Vision, I saw the statue of 'True Creator' that 'Aurora Order' believed in. There were some signs of being out of control. I made a simple treatment, but he needs to rest and further check whether there is any hidden contamination."
Clement and Angel worked together to put Rupert on the sofa in the corner and lay down before answering Daly in a low voice.
He didn't seem to want to be heard by several of the other team members.
"Okay, I'll make some preparations and check Spirituality after he recovers. Let him rest for a while first."
Daly looked serious after hearing "True Creator".
Angel also recalled this part of the information he saw.
"True Creator" is the belief of several secret organizations active in the past two to three hundred years, such as "Aurora Order", the main opponent of Nighthawks this time, and "Iron and Blood Cross Order".
But in fact, this image of a man hanging upside down on a cross has been circulated for thousands of years. Although the image changes from time to time, it still points to the same belief.
Even if he is really an evil god, he is still an evil god with a long history.
After settling the unlucky Rupert on the sofa in the hall, Daly took the two wounded to Underground Area of "Silver Bullet" and treated them with the prepared Ritual Magic.
This is a simple ritual venue surrounded by candles and Hermes Script written on the ground. The controller of the ritual - that is, Ms. Daly - consumes Spirituality and uses some common materials, so that the people inside can quickly recover their physical strength and recover from superficial injuries.
Compared with "Goddess's Gaze" which is like stimulants and painkillers, this "Healing Spell" has a more occult atmosphere...
Angel commented as he entered the ceremony venue to receive treatment.
The injury she sustained was on her right forearm. No bones were damaged, but part of the muscle that controls finger flexion was penetrated by the bullet.
Even if she was Beyonder, it would take at least half a month to fully recover from such an injury. Unexpectedly, she only stood for half an hour during the treatment ceremony and felt that the pain in her right arm had completely disappeared.
She tried to move the fingers on her right hand and found that although they were still a little stiff, they would no longer affect her normal movements.
In addition to Clement being blown to pieces while avoiding "Flesh Bomb", the biggest injury was caused when Tomaz detonated a bomb that blew down the cellar ceiling. Although his waist and abdomen were only slightly bruised on the outside, his internal organs were probably also injured.
When Angel fully recovered from his injuries and walked out of the range of Ritual Magic, he still stood there holding his stomach. Finally, he simply took a stool and sat down to receive treatment.
"You guys go up first. My injury will probably heal for a while. Daly Please check Rupert as soon as possible. I'm worried that he has some sequelae. Alas, if it weren't for me..."
At the end of the sentence, he looked guilty.
"Clement What's going on?"
The Underground Area structure of "Silver Bullet" is similar to the Tingen City Nighthawks station, with access to through the street underground In the secret passage of Saint George Church, there is a secret door connected to "Chanis Gate", as well as facilities such as Alchemy Room, a weapons depot, and a reference room. At this time, they are going up a straight ladder back to the ground.
Daly stopped at the last steps of the stairs and turned back to ask Angel.
"In order to avoid being affected by negative effects when he used '2-031' Hand of Declaration, he assigned Sealed Artifact to Rupert for use. Unexpectedly, Rupert had just entered the cellar..."
Angel briefly told Daly about the battle in the Port District warehouse cellar, hiding the part about Mystical Item that he had picked up Tomaz.
"'Rose Bishop'? There is no record of this Potion name in Enmat Harbor's documents. Maybe he knew it from the 'Red Gloves' he cooperated with last time. I didn't expect you to solve another Sequence 6's Beyonder. I really regret not snatching you away from Dunn last time."
"There was no solution, and he ran away in the end... and it's not too late now. I can come to Enmat Harbor at any time, as long as the captain agrees."
Angel joked.
"Forget it, Nighthawks needs to change the team for approval at all levels, and he will definitely not agree and will think that I..."
Daly's eyebrows were lowered and his eyes were covered with eye shadow. He seemed to be lost in some kind of memory, but he recovered within a few seconds and changed the topic.
"But there is a reason why Clement is unwilling to use this Sealed Artifact. Last year, he fell into a kind of fanaticism because he used the ability of 'Hand of Declaration' too much. We paid a lot of money to take off the gloves. Since then, he has been unwilling to wear this glove again."
Only then did Angel know the reason why Clement gave "2-031" to Rupert for use.
If Tomaz hadn't attacked him this time, detonating the ceiling and knocking him unconscious, he was already in a negative state. I'm afraid last year's accident would have happened again this time...
Angel suddenly felt a little scared.
