After Kronos withdrew his gaze, Susie's state gradually became calmer, but he was still looking around, as if he wanted to find the person who was looking at him.

The tour group soon came to Roselle's plagiarized manuscript.

With the previous preparation, Miss Audrey took advantage of the situation and proposed the idea of reading the manuscript.

Naturally, no one would stop this, so Audrey got close contact with the manuscript as he wished.

The first thing she did was to take out the bookmark from the book, and then pretended to read the manuscript.

Then, with the help of Susie, and with everyone's attention attracted by Susie, a wave of bookmarks were tested.

After the test was completed, the tour group left the museum.

Kronos didn't expect that Bernadette didn't show up for a day, so we could only wait for Klein to arrive.

When the time reached around nine o'clock, there suddenly was a lot of movement on the first floor of Royal Museum. The sound should be from the direction of Washroom.

Kronos knows that Klein is here to cause trouble.

He set a fire at Washroom on the first floor just to attract the attention of the security personnel and make it easier for him to move.

Most of the staff rushed to put out the fire, but Captain Max of Machinery Hivemind was obviously more experienced and came directly to the exhibition hall.

Klein is now in a spiritual state, so there is no need to take the stairs or anything. He went directly through the ceiling of the first floor and came to the glass cover of the Roselle manuscript.

Without any hesitation, the spirit body of Klein reached out and grabbed the Black Emperor bookmark and another bookmark in the plagiarized manuscript.

At this time, he was still thinking about blurring his purpose to prevent Miss Justice who had come into contact with this bookmark from being implicated in the end.

After grabbing two bookmarks, Klein wrapped them in his spirit body, and then prepared to grab other bookmarks.

Klein unceremoniously grabbed six or seven bookmarks and stuffed them all into his spirit body.

Kronos, who had been watching from the side, was originally ready to show up, but his movements froze.

Obviously Bernadette should have appeared after Klein got the two bookmarks. Why did you let him get so many bookmarks but didn't do anything?

Just when Klein was frantically picking up bookmarks and Kronos's thoughts were in a mess, Max Captain finally appeared.

He quickly ran into the exhibition hall, with a piece of Beyonder Item in his hand pointed directly at the spirit body of Klein.

"Thief, stop it. You are so brave. You dared to steal Church of Steam and Machinery's head."

Max did not launch an attack immediately, mainly because they were still in the exhibition hall, surrounded by exhibition objects, and he did not want to damage these things.

After Max appeared, Klein knew that he could not continue, so he showed a big smile to Max.

Then his illusory and almost transparent figure disappeared instantly, and he went to nowhere!

Even Azik's Copper Whistle and a dozen bookmarks wrapped in his spirit body disappeared!

Until this time, Bernadette has never appeared.

Since Kronos came to this world, the direction of the world has always been as he understood it, and basically there have been no major changes.

But this time it was different, Bernadette just didn't appear.

This made all Kronos's plans come to nothing.

When Max was commanding the members of Machinery Hivemind to pursue the intruder, Kronos turned around and entered Spirit World.

Then he came to No. King's Road 18.

Because the distance is not very far, it basically doesn't take much time in between.

He came here because Klein's body is hidden here, and on Klein's way home, he should meet Bernadette, so Kronos wants to try again.

When Kronos arrived, Klein was cleaning up the scene and cleaning up the traces left by Ritual Magic.

After cleaning up, Klein took out Master Key and prepared to Door Opening leave all the way.

Although the route he walked was messy, Kronos still easily captured his route with Eyes of Mystery Prying, and then followed it.

After Klein completely lost his way, he was ready to stop and take a good look at the location.

It turned out to be such a coincidence that I walked directly into the scene of the murder.

Klein first smelled the strong smell of blood. He looked up and saw Lady lying upside down in the living room in front of him.

The expression of Lady was full of Affliction. There was a big wound on the abdomen, and all the internal organs seemed to be missing.

Then, on the side of the empty female corpse in the abdominal wound, he saw the murderer of this serial murder.

It was a big black dog. Its mouth was half-open, revealing a white tooth with sharp tips that made people tremble. On each tooth, there were dark red traces like rust. This seemed to be the result of eating flesh and blood for a long time without cleaning it regularly.

At this moment, several of the teeth of the large black dog were still wrapped with bloody intestines, surrounded by bits of shredded raw meat.

Because Klein had already suspected it, he immediately recognized it as a Devil Dog from Sequence 6.

Kronos, who was not far away, saw all this through Eyes of Mystery Prying, and comforted himself in his heart, even if he didn't meet Bernadette, it was not in vain this time, at least he met this Devil Dog.

Klein is obviously no match for Devil Dog now. After all, he is just Clown of Sequence 8.

So in just a few moves, he was forced into Extremis by Devil Dog.

But our Mr. Fool was so smart that he smashed through the window, threw himself onto the road outside, and started shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Killing!"

"Help!"

"Killing!"

"Help!"

This sound seemed to have a special effect attached to it. It swayed far away in the quiet night, awakening the residents of the entire street, and reached the ears of the patrollers two streets away.

To be honest, if it weren't for this Devil Dog having the ability to think for itself, this trick wouldn't necessarily be useful.

But after Devil Dog thought about it for a while, he finally chose to retreat.

Before it retreated, Kronos fingered and gently took away one of its hairs.

Kronos will continue to follow Klein, so we can't attack it now.

Although the gap between Sequence 4 and Sequence 6 is still quite large, it is not that easy to win it.

And Klein was obviously shocked, so he immediately used Master Key to start running away. If he were delayed, he might not be able to catch up in the blink of an eye.

So leave a piece of its hair and come back to find it when the time comes.

Seeing that Klein had already started Door Opening to escape, Kronos quickly chased after him.

Logically speaking, Klein should have met Bernadette not long after escaping.

But things did not go as expected by Kronos, and Bernadette never showed up.

After Kronos watched Klein slowly slow down, he hired a taxi and headed towards East Borough.

Until Klein returned to his one-bedroom apartment in Black Palm Street, Bernadette did not show up.

Standing on the street outside, Kronos was a little confused. He didn't know what was going on. The plot that he knew in advance had changed.

My biggest reliance has always been the ability provided by Time Stone and his understanding of the plot. Now that one of my reliance has been suddenly cut off, the impact is not small.

With confusion in his heart, Kronos directly used that hair as a basis to find the location of Devil Dog.

This is not difficult at all for Kronos. Whether it is divination or positioning, Kronos has a method.

Kronos did not choose divination. Although divination can directly see the location of Devil Dog, the high probability is in Sewers.

This kind of environment is not familiar to Kronos, and there are almost no iconic locations, so it is difficult to find.

Kronos chose a positioning method unique to Sequence, magic: Ariadne's Thread.

He put the piece of hair between his fingers, then gently tossed it with his hand, throwing out a bright, unrealistic yarn ball.

This ball of thread rolled into the void, leaving behind a piece of wool. Kronos followed it and walked into Spirit World. When it shuttled out of Spirit World, it was already in Sewers.

Because of Sewers's long life, Devil Dog already has a Base in Sewers, and Kronos directly came to the position of Base.

After Kronos walked out of Spirit World, the first thing he saw was the big black dog.

When the big black dog saw Kronos suddenly appearing in his Base, he was stunned for a moment, then turned around and ran away.

It still remembers what Kronos looks like.

In so many years of experience, the second person Devil Dog is most afraid of is Jason, and the first one is naturally Kronos who killed Jason.

But since Kronos has found its way here, how can we let it escape again?

I saw Kronos wave his hand, and a magic was released, which was Source of the Peach Blossoms.

With Source of the Peach Blossoms here, Devil Dog can't escape no matter how hard he runs.

Devil Dog tried to find the exit of this barrier, but found no clue.

Kronos said nothing and took this opportunity to approach Devil Dog directly.

I saw a spear of model Ancient slowly condensing in his hand. From the tip to the handle, there were balls after balls, dots after dots of dark red blood burning.

Then the blood color slowly receded, and the entire spear slowly turned into a blazing white color.

At this time, Devil Dog had already felt the killing intent coming from behind, turned his head hurriedly, and then tried to escape.

But the gap between the two parties was really too big. It didn't even have the ability to dodge Kronos's attack, and was directly nailed to the ground by Kronos's shot.

Kronos The reason why he acted so decisively was mainly due to his feeling of guilt.

At that time, he had to deal with the inspection after Police, so he had no time to continue chasing Devil Dog.

I originally thought that after experiencing this incident, this Devil Dog would naturally leave Backlund.

Even if something happens due to its existence in the future, as long as Kronos doesn't know about it, he won't have any psychological burden.

But unexpectedly, it chose to stay at Backlund and went on the original path.

Kronos Although he does not think that the dead person is his responsibility, he still feels a little guilty in his heart.

The Spear of Longinus with the power of light did not stab this Devil Dog directly to death. Although it was already dying, it still had a breath of life.

Kronos took out Manipulation Gloves and prepared to verify one thing, that is why it did not leave Backlund.

After entering Mind Stone Island of Devil Dog, Kronos began to browse its memory.

Soon, Kronos found the answer from its memory.

My guess was indeed correct, its purpose was that booklet.

I have kept this dog Jason for almost ten years, and I have always had it with me since I was a child, so basically I will never avoid it in anything.

In the dog's memory, Jason got that booklet a few years ago. As long as he wrote on the booklet, he could communicate with the person opposite.

After helping them complete some tasks, you can get corresponding commissions.

Although Devil Dog knows Potion Formula and Advancement Ritual of Desire Apostle, as a dog, where is the channel through which it can obtain materials.

Even if it knows some of the trading channels commonly used by Jason, those trading channels will not allow a dog to trade.

So there was no other way, Devil Dog finally set his target on that booklet.

It hopes to obtain Potion materials for subsequent promotions through the people behind that booklet.

Not to mention, it is indeed a solution. This dog is really quite capable.

But it didn't expect that Kronos would later entrust Isengard to find it.

So on several occasions, after it left Sewers and was on its way to Jason's home, it was intercepted by Isengard.

As for the recent murder case, it really wasn't for some promotion Ritual.

Mainly because Pathway is addicted to killing people.

When Jason used to raise it, he would find some homeless people, and then the two of them would have a great time together.

In the early days when it was hiding in Sewers, it was indeed able to find some homeless people in Sewers, but as it killed them one by one, slowly, there were not many homeless people left.

It wasn't until its addiction could no longer be tolerated that it came to the ground to kill people.

This is the truth behind the serial murder case.

Kronos looked at Devil Dog being nailed to the ground, and sighed at the power of Fate's correction. He didn't expect that everything was ruined to this point, and in the end it almost returned to the original trajectory.

Kronos gently held Spear of Longinus, and then patted it down. The power of light attached to the gun was directly poured into Devil Dog's body, and then the gun disappeared.

After all the power of light entered its body, Devil Dog, which was still breathing, died completely.

Backlund's serial murder case is over.
