Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery
#226 - Find Bernadette
The living corpse before them clearly possessed extraordinary abilities. Moreover, according to Audis's observation, there was a gleam in the eyes of that shriveled head, unlike the previous heads which were either missing eyes or had a numb gaze.
Of course, the most obvious difference was that below the head, there was not only an esophagus but also a long, bloodstained spine.
However, now was not the time to dwell on these thoughts. The moment the fireball appeared, Audis and Klein had tacitly divided their tasks.
Klein stood still, allowing the fireball to strike him.
But the instant the fireball hit, Klein vanished. It was just an illusion; the real Klein had already moved forward a few steps, bringing the head in mid-air within his attack range: "Mental Piercing!"
He began to attack the enemy with "Creeping Hunger."
On the other side, Audis tossed his staff aside. It was clear the staff was useless against the corpse before him.
Suddenly, fire crows flew toward Audis, and the corpse actively launched an attack.
Audis reached into the corresponding pocket and tossed out two large handfuls of powder. The plants and trees along the roadside swayed violently and then vanished without a trace, replaced by dozens of javelin-shaped wooden stakes in mid-air.
This was one of the most powerful witchcrafts Audis had invented. Using it now would draw the fire crows' attacks.
Under Audis's control, the wooden stakes did not "pay attention" to the fire crows but instead pierced toward the headless corpse.
As expected, the fire crows that were rushing toward Audis prioritized burning the wooden stakes.
However, the number of wooden stakes was greater than the number of fire crows, and several still broke through the fire crows' blockade, piercing toward the headless corpse.
The headless corpse either nimbly dodged or ignited flames around itself, burning away the wooden stakes' sharp points.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Audis put on the "Hand of Judgment" gloves: "Imprisonment!"
Audis, who suddenly became extremely imposing, issued a seemingly undeniable command. The air around the headless corpse instantly became viscous, encasing it like an amber.
Then, Audis scattered golden powder with his other hand, and intense sunlight reappeared. The headless corpse instinctively wanted to dodge, but it was imprisoned and unable to move.
Although it possessed extraordinary abilities, it could only stand there and endure the scorching sun, emitting bursts of white smoke and showing signs of melting.
The reason it didn't burst into flames like before was mainly because this corpse was not afraid of fire, so it simply showed signs of melting.
At this moment, Audis suddenly lunged forward and threw a "Thunderstorm Bomb" he had prepared long ago, taking over the "Imprisonment" to control the target.

Under the purification of lightning, the corpse rapidly weakened and fell into a state of "paralysis."
Audis seized the opportunity to use "Sunlight术" again. This time, the corpse melted even faster, collapsing to the ground and lying motionless.
On the other side, the head was also dissolving amid miserable cries under the attack of Klein's "Sun Brooch."
Extraordinary characteristics immediately began to precipitate from the corpse on this side.
Klein strode over, carefully examining the corpse's neck: "The spine and esophagus seem to have been ripped out by some immense force."
Audis had no desire to investigate but said to Klein: "You wait here for the characteristics to precipitate. I'll go to Number 15."
As he spoke, he forcefully adjusted his hat, lest his hair fall out here.
Audis had just arrived at Number 15 when a premonition of danger descended again. The end of the street seemed to be struck by a black tide, making Audis smell a strong bloody scent.
Above the tide, a blood-red flame appeared. This flame was like an eye, staring intently at Audis.
Audis instantly made a judgment. Although the guy in front of him had no body, he was of a higher level and more dangerous than the living corpse just now.
Klein immediately stepped forward and used the ability of "Rampage" on the black tide. At the same time, he looked at Audis, gesturing with his eyes for him to hurry.
The living corpse just now was probably at Sequence 6. The two of them had worked together to easily kill the opponent.
But the black tide was probably at Sequence 5. Although they both had Sealed Artifacts of this level, it would be difficult to defeat the opponent for a while.
Moreover, during the battle, it was unknown whether it would attract more powerful enemies, so Klein only intended to hold the opponent back, giving Audis time to find someone at Number 15.
Audis strode to the front of Number 15 and knocked hard on the door: "Open the door quickly!"
He smelled a faint bloody scent inside the house.
Soon, a deep voice inside asked: "You, who are you?"
"I'm here to find Cyril, the president of the Chamber of Commerce!"
The voice inside said: "He is not, here."
On the other side, Klein used the ability of "Deterrence," shifting the "black tide's" attention from Audis to himself.
The fireball above the "black tide" suddenly flickered, seemingly falling into a state of being "deterred."
Then, Klein made the action of "embracing the sun," as if piously praising the sun, using the "Holy Light" from "Creeping Hunger."
As a magnificent beam of light fell, the "black tide" suddenly contracted, concentrating into a point, and a layer of deep red flame appeared on the surface.
The descent of the beam of light extinguished much of the deep red flame. Without the protection of the flame, many places of the "black tide" were scorched, and some places were evaporated.
But after the "Holy Light's" beam of light ended, those scorched places were suddenly lifted open, and a middle-aged woman with dark red skin, multiple areas of facial decay, and wearing a blood-red robe stood up from inside.
Seeing the other party's appearance, it was very similar to a corpse that had been dug out of a coffin after being dead for several months.
But the other party's eyes were very sharp, looking back and forth at Klein. Klein immediately felt that he was like prey being targeted by a hunter.
Judging from the fact that the attack effect of "Holy Light" was not very good, this middle-aged woman did not seem like the living corpse they had encountered before, or rather, was not entirely a undead monster.
On the other side, Audis was already somewhat impatient: "Where is Cyril?"
The deep voice inside the door said: "Do not, know. He and a, distinguished guest, left together."
Audis stared at the two doors. Bernadette had indeed been here, so he asked again: "When did this happen?"
"Twenty, minutes ago."
They just left a short while ago?
Audis quickly asked: "Why did they leave?"
"To avoid, a person wearing, a yellow hat."
It's that person wearing a yellow hat again! Then Audis was a little surprised. Bernadette also had to avoid the person wearing a yellow hat?
Who is this guy?
At the same time, Audis felt as if something was jumping on the left side of his back.
His neck was also a little uncomfortable, as if it was a little unnatural when he turned his head.
At this time, the deep voice inside the door continued: "They, should not have left.
"Because they, opened the door, violating the, island's taboo.
"So, the person wearing a yellow hat, found, here, and killed, everyone here."
Audis was stunned: TMD, since everyone inside was killed, who the hell have I been talking to for so long?
Suddenly, Audis felt that the atmosphere in the house suddenly became wrong, and an extremely dangerous aura was spreading outward.
"Run!" Audis said to Klein, who was still holding back the "Middle-aged Woman": "Run!"
At this time, the "Middle-aged Woman's" fireballs had already exploded, making Klein very embarrassed.
This guy's fireballs always flew from unexpected positions and specifically attacked his vital points.
After hearing "Mr. Gehr's" voice, "Holy Light" descended again, temporarily blocking the "Middle-aged Woman" with a rotten face.
The two ran away at the fastest speed. When passing by the living corpse just now, Audis also picked up the extraordinary characteristics that had already precipitated.
Klein was relieved. Originally, he was thinking that if "Mr. Gehr" didn't pick up the extraordinary characteristics, he would definitely pick them up.
Although these two guys were "reluctant to part with money even if they risked their lives," they ran fast enough, quickly leaving the danger behind.
When they returned to the alley, they looked back.
Without a single error, a poem, a hair, an inner, a capacity, one is, looking at!
The "Middle-aged Woman" did not immediately catch up, but stood in front of the door of Number 15, as if expecting something.
Suddenly, she turned into black liquid again, flowing into the inside from the cracks in the door of Number 15.
Audis and Klein didn't dare to continue observing and immediately went through the alley to the street where the church was located.
As soon as they arrived on this street, their spirituality immediately felt as if the degree of danger had decreased.
Audis breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to show the extraordinary characteristics just now: "This trophy..."
He had just said this when he felt a yellow light flash before his eyes. The person wearing a yellow hat passed by them swaggeringly.
But because the other party's speed was too fast, they didn't even have time to see the other party's appearance clearly.
At the same time, Audis felt a lightness in his hand, and the extraordinary characteristics disappeared just like that.
"Huh? ..." Audis didn't expect that "Yellow Hat" would actually rob things in person!
Klein was also stunned on the spot. If the characteristics in Audis's hand hadn't disappeared, he would have suspected that he was seeing things.
Audis smacked his lips: "Fortunately, you were also there, otherwise it would be hard to explain."
As he spoke, he rubbed his neck, feeling that the muscles in his neck were even more uncomfortable.
Klein hadn't expected that his hard-earned spoils would vanish just like that.
But even though he was currently playing the role of the mad Gehrman Sparrow, he had no intention of chasing after that Extraordinary characteristic.
"Let's leave here quickly," Audis said.
He had a bad premonition.
Klein hummed in agreement, not objecting.
They had only taken a few steps when they saw strange lights flickering in the distant mist.
They felt an immense pressure from mid-air, and immediately stopped in their tracks again.
A dozen seconds later, the lights in front gradually disappeared, and an object with a faint black flame flew towards them.
Audis reached out and caught it; it was the Extraordinary characteristic that had just been snatched away.
The two of them were stunned. Someone had "righteously roared when seeing injustice," and helped them retrieve the characteristic?
At this moment, the mist in front of them suddenly churned and condensed, forming a line of words in front of the two of them: What are you doing here?
Audis breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're okay."
"I received information that Bansy Harbor will be in danger recently, so I came to notify you to return quickly."
Klein, who was on the side, quietly watched the way the two communicated.
The mist began to churn again, condensing into letters, and once again forming a sentence: It is indeed very dangerous here. I am currently on the beach near the harbor. If I go in again, I may awaken an even more terrifying existence. Come out and find me to meet up.
Audis nodded: "Okay, I'll go to the harbor immediately."
Those letters moved again, recombining and forming a passage in two parts: As long as you see someone wearing a yellow hat, you will be cursed. The mark of the curse is below your left shoulder on your back. You need to use a dagger to dig out that piece of rotten flesh, otherwise your head, esophagus, and spine will be pulled out by a huge force.
Audis and Klein's eyes both narrowed, especially Audis. He had seen someone wearing a yellow hat not long after he came out of the Lemon Restaurant.
From the beginning, he felt the muscles in his neck were tense. Only when Bernadette reminded him did he realize that it was a huge force "lifting" his neck.
"We will deal with it immediately," Audis said.
The mist dissipated, and no new words appeared.
Audis took a deep breath and said to Klein, "Now, I have to entrust my back to you."
Klein didn't say anything, just nodded.
Audis lifted his clothes, but he didn't expect that the "rotten flesh" was neither up nor down, and he couldn't reach it from above or below.
Audis had no choice but to take off his top in the cold wind and hand the dagger to Klein.
Then he felt a chill on his back and heard a "squeak, squeak, squeak" sound like a mouse. A piece of rotten flesh the size of a small fingernail fell on the ground. While making the "squeak, squeak, squeak" sound, it was still wriggling, as if looking for a chance to escape.
Audis bent down and took a small handful of golden powder from his clothes and sprinkled it on the wriggling rotten flesh. The rotten flesh immediately melted, turning into a pool of black water.
The discomfort in his neck immediately disappeared.
At this time, Klein had also taken off his top. Originally, he was still a little hesitant, but after seeing the rotten flesh dug out from "Mr. Zale's" back, he thought it was more important to save his life. He would lift the curse first, regardless of his persona.
Audis saw a piece of black rotten flesh on the lower left side of Klein's back.
There was also some dark red color in the rotten flesh. These colors, whether it was a coincidence or not, actually formed a pattern of a person's face with closed eyes.
As soon as Audis stabbed it with the dagger, the human face composed of dark red suddenly opened its mouth and made a "squeak, squeak, squeak" sound.
He threw the rotten flesh on the ground and immediately sprinkled it with golden powder, watching the rotten flesh quickly melt.
Just as the two were relieved, a figure appeared in the mist.
Danitz walked out of the mist, and was immediately stunned to see the two of them bare-chested: "I... I didn't see anything."
