Oh no! Emlyn White followed Argos's gaze and noticed the old newspapers and small wooden box he had forgotten to deal with.
Although they originally belonged to this room, they were previously in different places, and now that they are placed together, it looks quite strange, as if someone wanted to use them for something but gave up at the last minute.
Why did they give up at the last minute? Were they startled by the knocking? And does this mean the killer hasn't left and is hiding in some corner of the room? Similar questions Blink through Argos and Emlyn White's minds at the same time, one a sudden doubt, the other a guess at what the other might be thinking.
not good!
The two Vampire reacted simultaneously. Argos lunged to the side, a thick black aura emanating from behind him, its shape resembling bat wings, while Emlyn White's fingers swiftly traced the open " Lemano's Travel Notes."
Suddenly, a silvery-white light appeared, illuminating the entire room once again.
The lightning, with its branches outstretched, missed Argos, striking the ground beside his bed and disintegrating into countless tiny electric snakes that leaped towards objects with good electrical conductivity.

Among them, Argos's wings, made from dense black energy, seemed to be particularly favored by lightning, being chased and shattered by numerous silver-white electric snakes, which then spread to his body.
Argos was momentarily paralyzed, unable to bounce back up, and fell with a thud.
Emlyn quickly flipped through " Lemano's Travel Notes," then swiped his finger across the page titled " Lightning Strike."
Although he didn't know why there were so many pages of " Lightning Strike," making up half of the yellowish-brown parchment, at this moment, he was incredibly grateful that he could still use it.
A bolt of silvery lightning struck Argos out of nowhere, hitting him squarely. As he struggled to break free from his paralysis and leap away, black smoke billowed from his body, and he trembled uncontrollably.
Seizing the opportunity, Emlyn White straightened his knees and pushed off with both feet, approaching Argos at lightning speed, almost leaving a trail of afterimages. He then grabbed Argos's head with his right arm, deftly spun around, and disappeared behind him.
Snap!
Argos could see his own back directly.
His eyes suddenly became bloodshot, and several swollen and festering spots on his face burst open completely, releasing a deep and illusory darkness.
Emlyn didn't understand what had happened. His foot slipped, and he instinctively backed away, changing position several times in succession.
Argos did not pursue; his eyes seemed to have lost their reason, filled only with pure malice, madness, and obvious bewilderment.
He raised his hands, pressed them against his head from both sides, and with a sharp snap, turned it back to the correct orientation with a crisp click.
All around this artificial Vampire, a deep darkness surged, as if threatening to engulf everything.
Then, Argos moved his swaying neck from side to side; his entire body was swollen and rotting, oozing disgusting pus.
He came to see Galis Kevin tonight because he was showing signs of losing control and needed to discuss a solution. He turned back halfway because he suddenly wondered if the harsh environment was having a strong negative impact on his extraordinary sense of smell and sensitivity, which led to the signs of losing control.
At this moment, under the shadow of death, he completely broke down and truly lost control.
Emlyn White felt a chill run down his spine as Argos's gaze swept over him Emlyn White. He sensed he was in trouble again and couldn't help but curse inwardly at how these " The Moon Primordial " followers always made him look like Monster.
He didn't immediately pray to Mr. The Fool, firstly because there was no time, as the other party was about to launch an attack, and secondly because, in a one-on-one situation, Emlyn believed that dealing with the out-of-control Sequence 7 wouldn't be too dangerous.
He seized the moment, quickly flipping through " Lemano's Travel Notes," and fixed it once again on the page of " Lightning Strike."
Snap!
Thick, Distortion, and claw-like silver lightning bolts struck heavily down, hitting the mutated Argos.
In that instant, the lightning seemed to shatter the surging darkness, yet it also seemed to be swallowed up by the profound other, both vanishing simultaneously, leaving only the gaze finally locked onto Argos in Emlyn.
The out-of-control artificial Vampire, leaving afterimages, pounced on its target.
Emlyn ducked and rolled on the ground, narrowly escaping the Fatal Strike.
At the same time, instead of taking the " Lemano's Travel Notes," he reached into his pocket with his right hand and took out a metal bottle.
Thump!
Argos made a sharp turn, closing in on the enemy in an instant.
Snap! Without time to open the bottle cap, Emlyn squeezed the metal bottle open with all his might, creating a crack.
Then, he tossed the bottle forward, letting the pure, brilliant liquid inside splash onto Argos, who was lunging at him.
This is " Water of The Sun " that he concocted using Spirituality materials; it is extremely effective against Vampire.
This was preparation made in advance by the " Potion Professor "!
"Ah!"
Argos, who was directly splashed with water, let out a shrill scream on the spot, and wisps of black smoke rose from his body before he lost his strength in mid-air.
Bang! Although he hit Emlyn, he only managed to make the other man lose his balance and roll twice, without causing any real harm.
As he rolled, Emlyn, disregarding his injuries, shook his right hand, which was aching from a few drops of " Water of The Sun," and quickly turned the page of " Lemano's Travel Notes."
Snap!
Another bolt of silver lightning struck, abruptly silencing Argos's screams.
This out-of-control artificial Vampire seemed to be enduring close-range the Sun while simultaneously falling into a severe state of paralysis.
Emlyn seized the opportunity, took out another bottle of " Water of The Sun," unscrewed the cap, and splashed it directly in front of him.
This time, Argos couldn't even scream; his body was in a state of melting like a candle.
Emlyn breathed a sigh of relief, and a thick black mist spread behind him, transforming into illusory bats the size of a palm, which swarmed toward their target.
The black bats landed on Argos, completely enveloping him, then scattered with a whoosh, flying back to Emlyn and disappearing.
Argos's body visibly shrank, and finally, unable to hold on any longer, he slowly collapsed, showing signs of partial fusion.
Emlyn then raised his right hand to check for lingering pain, and saw atrophied and eroded wounds on his palm and several fingers.
However, the flesh inside is rapidly wriggling and healing itself.
It's over... I actually killed him... Emlyn looked away, staring at Argos's corpse, still somewhat incredulous.
Although the hunt was not without its twists and turns, he did not actually encounter any real danger throughout the process. This made him realize once again that the existence of the Tarot Club had made him much stronger than he had expected.
"If Argos had examined Galis Kevin's body first, instead of looking at the newspapers and wooden crates by the bed, he would have certainly been able to deduce that I possessed the extraordinary ability of ' Lightning Strike,' and wouldn't have used ' Wings of Darkness ' while dodging, thus avoiding being caught in the lightning's blast..."
"However, this way, he won't be able to detect anything amiss and will have difficulty avoiding it in advance. My ' Lightning Strike ' can hit him directly, making things much simpler..."
"From this perspective, no matter what, as long as I don't make Error, I'm sure I can kill him... They're really weak... I didn't realize I was this strong..."
"No wonder the Progenitor made me Tarot Club... It's a gathering prepared to prepare for the Apocalypse and save our respective races, far more sophisticated than other Concealment organizations!" Emlyn raised his chin slightly, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.
He then heard footsteps coming and going outside the door, but no one approached.
Argos's screams had alerted the surrounding guests, but they dared not come in, fearing trouble... However, someone must have already gone to the police... I need to quickly deal with the scene and leave... Emlyn withdrew his gaze from the doorway, walked to Galis Kevin's body, and picked up a fist-sized object from the pool of blood.
Its entire body is bright red, like a heart, and it is slightly expanding and contracting. Its surface is translucent, with liquid flowing inside. It is the Beyonder Characteristic left behind by the " Vampire " of the " Apothecary " pathway Sequence 7.
This is my spoils... Emlyn was a little disoriented for a moment, but after composing himself, he wrapped the Beyonder Characteristic and Galis Kevin's head in old newspapers and stuffed them into the wooden box.
After placing the wooden crate, he tore off Argos's head, which was so rotten that it was almost unrecognizable, and then took out another bottle of medicine, sprinkling it in every corner of the room.
Throughout this process, Emlyn remained completely calm, seemingly unconcerned about the arrival of the East Borough's official Beyonder.
A few minutes later, he picked up Argos's somewhat mutated Beyonder Characteristic, glanced at the surface that was closer to black and the faint human face pattern, and saw the black mist rising behind it.
The black mist transformed once more into countless tiny bats, fluttering throughout the room and combining with the previously sprayed Potion liquid to create a quietly spreading black flame.
The black flames burned away the blood, the corpse, and the traces of the Lightning Strike, leaving only a thick, asphalt-like liquid covering various objects.
Then, the liquid transformed into heavy black bats, swirling and circling around Emlyn.
Emlyn didn't expect his handling of the situation to completely disrupt the investigation. His only goal was to make the scene seem unremarkable, so that the police and any potential officials Beyonder might take over would think the matter was unimportant and worthless, and that they would just give it a cursory investigation and throw it into the case file, never to be pursued again.
Having done all this, Emlyn, wearing a baseball cap and with his face covered in charcoal ash, picked up the wooden crate and looked around.
Then, he bowed slightly to the Crimson Moon outside.
At the same time, the pages of his " Lemano's Travel Notes " flipped rapidly, finally settling on the " Teleportation " page.
Emlyn's figure, along with the heavy bats, became transparent and invisible, disappearing from the spot.
At least another fifteen minutes passed before several police officers from the East Borough arrived at the apartment, broke down the door, and found neither the occupants nor the body.
They yawned lazily, forced the onlookers to admit they were hallucinating, and thus ended the investigation.
This is the efficiency and investigative style of the East Borough Police.
After leaving the East Borough, Emlyn went home first to hide " Lemano's Travel Notes," and then headed straight for Odora's house in the West Borough with his finds.
He's off to declare victory and claim his reward!
