Mystery: The Extraordinary Journey Starting from an Angel

"In that case, it's a pleasure to cooperate!"

Mr. V stood up and raised his hand towards Snooker.

"Haha! Happy cooperation."

Snooker still put on a bad face, shook hands with Mr. V slightly, and then randomly let go.

"Remember, go back and destroy those things, but Aurora won't be able to protect you."

Mr. V was stunned for a moment, but he could only nod helplessly.

After finishing his work in the afternoon, Klein was about to go out, but before leaving, he threw a coin casually.

This time, he got the revelation that it was not appropriate to go out at this moment.

"Is it dangerous to go out?" Klein did not hesitate and sat back in the living room.

About twenty minutes later, he heard the doorbell ringing softly and found that it was Isengard Stanton who came to visit him.

"Mr. Stanton, have you gained something?" Klein asked happily.

Essinger pointed to the back of the foyer:

"We'll talk after we go in."

"OK."

Crane moved out of the way.

After sitting on two sets of sofas facing each other, Essinger took his deerstalker hat, took a breath and said:

"The 'Apostle of Desire' appears again."

Seeing that Klein remained calm, he nodded with satisfaction and continued:

"The families of two detectives did not want to be protected and felt that they would not be implicated, so they stayed outside. During lunch today, they were found dead in their respective offices. One was too frightened and scared himself to death. , one was very excited and exhausted all his energy.”

"They are too stubborn and worthy of being followers of the tyrant, but in this way, the Punisher has officially intervened. It is said that high-sequence powerful men from several major churches and the military have turned their attention to the 'Apostle of Desire' Things have come to the forefront recently.”

"Do you want me not to reveal your identity as a follower of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom?" Klein asked in surprise.

"It's really easy for detectives to talk to each other." Essinger smiled and nodded.

"no problem."

Klein made a promise first and then said,

"I have some information channels that are difficult to expose. If valuable information is fed back from there later, I hope you will help me pass it on to the Nighthawks and keep it secret."

As for why he was looking for the Nighthawks instead of the Machine Heart, he believed that he didn't need to explain it too clearly. With the wisdom of Detective Stanton, he could figure it out with his toes.

Essinger first agreed to Klein's request, and then said doubtfully:

"If you tell me, it is equivalent to letting Jason notice in advance."

"I hope I can find a good way to avoid it... Please help me think about other possibilities. Your ring should be able to simulate many extraordinary abilities." Klein responded calmly.

"Okay." Essinger said no more.

He pondered for a few seconds, took out his pipe, took a puff and said:

"The actions of the 'Desire Apostle' today have confirmed one of my guesses. Haha, it's also the question you thought of before."

"Isn't his main purpose revenge?" Klein understood the other party's words.

Klein was completely certain about this conjecture. If he wanted revenge, he would go to Olvia, but instead of going there, he was killing these people. It was obviously not for revenge.

Essinger leaned forward and said solemnly:

"Now that Jason has passed the 'cold-blooded' stage, it means that he must have become cold-blooded. It is impossible to do this for that devil dog."

"Sherlock, you see, so far, all of Backlund's official extraordinary forces have been mobilized, and even high-sequence experts have shifted more attention to this matter. At this time, if Jason Wouldn’t it be much easier to deal with other, real targets?”

Klein thought for a moment and responded in a deep voice:

"That makes sense!"

Klein recalled the knowledge that Olvia had told him about the devil's path before.

Sequence 9: Criminal

Sequence 8: Angel with Broken Wings, known in ancient times as "Cold-Blooded Sequence"

Sequence 7: Serial Killer

Sequence 6: Demon

Sequence 5: Apostle of Desire

Sequence 4: Devil

Sequence 3: Whisperer

Sequence 2: Blood Archduke

Sequence 1: The Filthy King

Sequence 0: Abyss.

However, Klein does not care about other sequences now, but is carefully thinking about Sequence 5: Apostle of Desire.

Sequence 5: Apostle of Desire

Controlling desires: Can use and manipulate everyone's emotions and desires to induce corruption.

If the enemy has too strong emotional fluctuations and has too obvious desires, he will immediately control them remotely, plant the seeds, or directly catalyze them.

This will expose many problems and cause people to gradually degenerate, or lose control of their emotions at critical moments and be unable to resist, or their desires will explode beyond the upper limit of what the body can bear, leading to severe injuries or even death.

Mental shock: It can also burn the two curved devil horns on its head, forcibly impacting the enemy's spirit, causing him to inevitably produce certain emotions.

Belongs to the branch of controlling desire.

Desire Incarnation: Transform the body into an illusory, viscous black liquid condensed from various emotions and desires. This has a very good effect in avoiding damage, concealing whereabouts, and influencing enemies.

These liquids are like a collection of the most sinister and shameful desires in the human heart, sweeping through the surroundings in a manner that contaminates everything and rushing towards the target.

Ritual: Serial killing, targeting the once corrupted;

The minimum is 13 people, and the maximum is 49. The more complete the ritual is, the more hope there is for promotion.

There should be at least three days between two killings, otherwise it is easy to get out of control, but the interval cannot exceed nine days, which will reset the ritual.

After each killing and each part of the ritual, the demon will eat the victim's internal organs. From then on, he will always be in a state of irritability and bloodthirstiness, wanting to hurt others, until that desire is satisfied again.

Extraordinary characteristics: black mist.

Is it because of the promotion ritual that he keeps killing people?

Wait...

Klein suddenly thought of a question. Didn't the apostle of desire already advance to Sequence 5?

Why is there still a need to kill people? Is it necessary to kill people for the promotion to Sequence 4?

This is unknown!

After all, the sequences that Olivia said later were very vague and she didn't say what the promotion ritual was.

But this is normal. After all, Olivia is not an extraordinary person of the demon path, and it is already very good to know so much knowledge.

"Is it possible that Mr. Stanton killed people in order to advance to Sequence 4!"

Klein reminded Isengard slightly.

"Hmm!"

"I've thought about this question before, and it's possible, but we don't need to worry about it now, after all, the church has stepped in."

"We just need to ensure our own safety."

Esinger smiled slightly. The church's appearance did relieve him of a lot of pressure. Now that there is a tall man supporting him, he, a little detective, only needs to ensure his own safety.

"Indeed!"

Klein nodded. He had no objection to Mr. Stanton's opinion. After all, it was impossible for him to take the lead in such a dangerous matter.
