Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery
#65 - God's Shield
On the other side, Klein found Capim's body, took out a set of Tarot cards he had prepared in advance, drew the "Judgment" and "Emperor" cards, and threw them on Capim's face, then scattered the other Tarot cards on Capim's body.
During the scattering process, one card, due to the angle of its fall, tumbled and landed on the ground near Capim's head. It was the "Hermit" card, depicting a hooded figure carrying a lamp.
Klein didn't pay much attention to it and went to the roof, ready to complete his curtain call.
At this moment, a phantom door suddenly appeared in the courtyard of the villa. A handsome man in a well-tailored formal dress stepped out from the illusory world within the door.
This was Selt Augustus, a demigod of the Loen military. He glanced at the raging fire in front of him, his gaze piercing through the flames and smoke, and saw the four extraordinary corpses that had already been set ablaze.
At the same time, a gust of wind blew, and a solemn old man wearing a black soft hat and a black robe embroidered with storm symbols flew in at an extremely fast speed.
It was Ace Snake, the Archbishop of Backlund's suburbs, the "Singer of God."
Ace asked Selt in a deep voice, "Why are you here?"
According to custom, extraordinary events in the Cherwood Borough are managed by the Saint Wind Cathedral.
Selt replied with a grim expression, "I live nearby."
Ace said nothing more and raised a hand towards the raging flames. A fierce hurricane actually swept the flames away, sending them to the artificial fountain outside.
The two demigods saw the corpses of Herlas and the other three, saw Capim with Tarot cards scattered on his body, and the two cards covering the face of this human trafficker.
They were the "Judgment" card, depicting an angel blowing a horn, and the "Emperor" card, depicting a figure wearing armor and a crown!
Immediately afterward, Selt and Ace simultaneously sensed something and looked up at the roof.
They discovered that on the partially collapsed top of the villa, there was a majestic figure covered in black armor and wearing a black crown.
Klein nodded slightly. Having completed his "curtain call," he was about to leave when a phantom female voice suddenly came from behind him: "Got you."
Klein reacted instantly. The voice came from the powerful lady he had seen at the Kingdom's Museum before. At the same time, a colorful halo suddenly appeared beneath his feet, imprisoning him in place.
Bernadette, after seeing this majestic figure with Audis, immediately sensed that this was the spirit body who had stolen the cards before.
Because of the previous lesson, she didn't rush to attack, but observed the other party's actions while secretly creating a powerful spatial seal.
Klein's figure paused slightly, but in the next second, he disappeared without any warning.
A phantom figure immediately appeared where he had disappeared. It was Bernadette. She checked her seal with some disbelief. The seal was still there, and there was no sign of it being broken.
Theoretically, the person inside this seal should not be able to leave through the spirit world, the underworld, or the astral world. But the other party had indeed left before Bernadette's eyes.
Crack!
A tree-branch-shaped silver lightning flashed in mid-air, illuminating the area where the majestic figure had just disappeared as if it were daylight.
Bernadette glanced at the two demigods in the courtyard, and a pair of illusory wings appeared on her back, enveloping her. When the illusory wings disappeared, Bernadette also left.
Ace and Selt both sensed Bernadette's power, so neither of them had any intention of stopping her.
Selt said, "They are not accomplices."
Ace nodded. He could feel how powerful that seal was.
Then, the two of them simultaneously looked outside the villa, at the carriage with the "Mechanical Holy Emblem" on it.
......
Audis, coughing repeatedly and feeling very uncomfortable, immediately asked Byron and Baker to help him onto the "Heart of the Machine" carriage when he saw Klein's curtain call, and warned Byron and Baker that no one could get out of the car.
Just as Audis was feeling a little better, Ace and Selt arrived outside the carriage.
A gust of wind opened the car door as if it had a life of its own. Audis took a deep breath before saying, "I'm sorry, you two, cough cough, I'm a little uncomfortable and can't salute you."
Ace said, "You seem to be witnesses to the whole thing?"
"Yes, cough cough." Audis didn't intend to hide anything: "But I am an important informant of the 'Heart of the Machine' and can only accept your... cough cough... your inquiries in the company of members of the 'Heart of the Machine' team."
This was the reason he immediately got into the car. If he hadn't gotten into the car, even if he stated his identity, the two demigods in front of him could easily claim they hadn't heard clearly and forcibly "interrogate" Audis and the other two.
With Selt of the "Arbitrator" pathway present, their interrogation wouldn't just be a simple questioning.
But if they were sitting in the "Heart of the Machine" carriage and were "interrogated" using extraordinary abilities by the Archbishop of the Storm Church and the military's demigod, that would be unacceptable.
Selt sneered, "Are you feeling guilty?"
One mistake, one capital, one hair, one inside, one tolerance, one look!
Audis and the other two felt immense mental pressure, as if they were about to reveal all their secrets at this moment.
"Cough cough cough..." Audis coughed while enduring the immense mental pressure, trembling as he took out the "Mechanical Holy Emblem" hanging around his neck, composed of a set square, gears, and levers, and held it in front of him:
"The incarnation of essence, cough cough, the guardian of craftsmen, the brilliance of technology.
"Your devout believer prays to you..."
"Alright." Selt said coldly, "We'll ask again later."
Clang!
The car door was closed again, and the immense mental pressure disappeared.
Audis breathed a long sigh of relief.
Byron, who was on the side, had a new understanding of the "leader's" identity. He asked, "How should we answer the police and extraordinary people's inquiries later?"
Although Byron wasn't an extraordinary, he knew of their existence.
"Just tell the truth." Audis said.
During the retrieval last Saturday, he had reported Byron's matter to Max. Moreover, Park had taken the initiative to attack him just now, so he wasn't afraid of normal inquiries, but he knew too many secrets and couldn't be interrogated by the military with extraordinary abilities.
Immediately afterward, the "Punisher" team arrived one after another. They directed the police to control the villa and the surrounding area, and three members watched over Audis and the others.
More than half an hour later, Max arrived with the team after hearing the news. After understanding the specific situation, he asked the "Punishers" to send someone to return to the Backlund Mechanical Research Society with them to jointly interrogate Audis and the other two.
But the "Punishers'" and the military's attention to this case exceeded Max's expectations. Selt and Ace actually personally participated in the interrogation of Audis and the other two.
