【Lenke】Old Box

"Come with me, will you?"

he said.

In St. Samuel's Cathedral at dusk, the water ripples in a place where there is no one, and the figure of Leonard Mitchell is slowly outlined.However, in the church where prayers and asylum seekers come and go, no one can see this scene, except "Dunn Smith" wearing a monocle.

"Okay." Leonard nodded to him calmly.

"Dunn"'s smile became more and more intense. He picked up his cane, put on his top hat, got up and walked out of the church. Leonard followed him at a certain distance.

This picture is actually somewhat harmonious, as if it is the countless afternoons in memory, when the Tingen Nighthawk team went out to perform missions.

"Dunn" chatted with Leonard as if he was a friendly captain as he walked: "Guess, why did I find you?"

Leonard thought for a moment, then replied in a calm voice: "Adam."

"Not stupid." Pushing the monocle, he praised with a smile:

"I got some interesting information from my paranoid brother. Among the people who helped Mister Fool to become a demigod, there is a kid from the 'Dark Night' family in Sequence 3, and he has mastered the 'Secret' in advance The authority of my brother only appeared for a short moment before disappearing under my brother's gaze."

"Then my brother carefully inspected the memory of 0-08 and found that there are many violations, just like in the creation of 0-08, there is always an 'invisible man' that cannot be detected."

"So I went to investigate the life trajectory of the former owner of 0-08, and quickly locked on the 'Tingen evil god's descending incident'. In that incident, the two survivors were 'dark' pathways The Extraordinary, one is the body I parasitized; the other is you, who has changed from Sequence 7 to an angel on the ground of the 'Dark Night' family in just one year; and the only 'victim' is the one who was later resurrected Mister Fool."

"The more abnormal something is, the more worthy of attention, are you right?" Having said this, "Dun" stopped, turned his head and looked at Leonard with a smile.

Leonard nodded: "You are right."

"Actually, if you keep hiding yourself, I may not pay attention to you. Even I can't steal what I want to know from the 'Secret', so I won't waste time to catch a 'Secret Servant'." On the side of him Turning around and continuing to walk forward, he said, "But you have revealed your tracks several times in Backlund, as if you were playing hide and seek with me. I will never refuse invitations to 'games', so I will come to play with you. "

"However, Mr. 'Fool' is about to find the trace of that 'Dark Demonic Wolf' recently. In desperation, I had no choice but to seek some off-site assistance from my brother." Speaking of this, his expression was as if I found something extremely funny: "So... I confirm that you brought me to Backlund to relieve the pressure on Mister Fool and reduce the risk of him being caught by me."

"No wonder you want to hide from me by erasing the memory of Mister Fool. You dote on him so much, his fear of me, and his instinctive dependence on you are enough to break through any simple psychological suggestion."

"That's not dependence, it's trust." Leonard corrected: "I don't have enough ability for him to rely on."

"It's not important." "Dunn" said very happily: "In short, I confirmed that you have a weakness that most human beings have, that is... attach importance to companions. You don't know the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 1, and Which one is more important to you than the captain you have worked so hard to save?"

Before he knew it, Leonard had already clenched his fists. If he wasn't wearing gloves, his nails might have been deeply embedded in his flesh and blood.

At this time, Leonard already knew his destination - No. 7 Pinster Street, probably the same as last time, Amon's body would be waiting there.And the clone in front of him was the weakest clone Leonard had ever seen, not even a Sequence 6, so he could walk into St. Samuel's Cathedral majestically without being noticed by anyone.

However, in front of such a weak clone, Leonard has no power to resist.He didn't even dare to use his "secret" authority to directly send the captain into the hidden realm. He believed that Amon must have a way to easily take the captain's life before he did it himself.

"Actually, we are not enemies." "Dun" spread his hands, and said in a very sincere voice: "I don't want to meet the wrath of the night, so I don't want to kill his envoy at all, and we are not in the same sequence, nor are we in the same sequence. There is a high-sequence competition. I can promise you that I will not even kill Pales, and I will give him a chance to be resurrected through the clone of Sequence 2. As long as you give me the characteristics of 'Worm of Time', I will Give you back your captain."

"Very tempting proposal." Leonard nodded expressionlessly.

"You see, I even waited until today to find you in order to give you time to celebrate Mr. Fool's birthday. I think this is enough to show my friendliness." "Dun" turned around again, jokingly smiled.

"Well, at least for this, I really appreciate you very much." Leonard said sincerely, which is the truth.

"I think you should have encountered my clone before. You are very cautious and have maintained a 'secret' asylum. At the same time, you let Pales always patch up the 'loopholes' and isolate my 'stealing'." "Dun" poked Leonard's hole card a little bit in a brisk tone: "It is true that I cannot 'steal' your fate now, but Pallez's power cannot be maintained forever, and I am not the only one who can 'steal' it." This ability. Although you are now Sequence 2, there is no difference between you and Sequence 5 in front of me."

Before they knew it, the two of them had reached the gate of No. 7 Pinster Street. "Dun" opened the door as if the owner of the house, and made an inviting gesture: "Please come in."

Leonard calmed down and walked in slowly.But "Dunn" did not follow up, because the original owner of the body was not strong enough to withstand the power of the angel level, and the aftermath alone could destroy him instantly.

As he walked into the gate, 7 Pinster Street changed, and the black stone pillars stood up at some point, supporting a majestic and magnificent bone church.

Amon, who was wearing a black classic robe and a pointed soft hat, was standing in the center of the Church of Bones. He turned around slowly, squeezed the monocle made of crystal, with a smile on his face:

"You know, in this bone church, it takes at least 30 seconds for them to discover the anomaly and come down to God."

"Can I pray?" Leonard asked. Before he showed strong resistance, he believed that Amon would not reject the reasonable request of his faithful follower of the goddess, and prayers could not be spread to the Bone Church. It's just psychological comfort.

"Yes." Amon nodded: "But your time is running out."

Leonard nodded, turned his back to Amon, and knelt down on one knee in the direction of St. Samuel's Church.He clenched his right hand into a fist and pressed it against his chest. A faint light in his palm quickly condensed.

In the next second, a phantom of a huge ancient mottled clock froze in front of Leonard.

"when!"

As if the bell rang through history, Leonard slowly stood up and turned sideways to look at Amon.He held a crystal pillar made of light and shadow in his hand, and many "worms of time" with twelve links were swimming and wandering quickly in it, and everything around him seemed to be still.

Amon's smile froze.

Under His gaze, Leonard directly swallowed the crystal pillar made of light and shadow into his stomach.

On the surface of the gray-white and blue-black interlaced clock, there is an extra mottled pointer.The pointer jumped down a few frames, causing the bell to echo more and more quickly.

Ten minutes of Leonard's time was instantly skipped!

"This is the difference between Sequence 5 and Sequence 2." Leonard said with a smile.

Leonard Mitchell was promoted to Sequence 1 - "Worm of Time" at the cost of half madness.

……

A land abandoned by gods.

Klein counted the lightning. It should be dinner time now, but there was still no movement above the gray mist.Although they ate a few pieces of birthday cake just now, they were just shadows on the gray fog.

In fact, at Klein's level, even if he doesn't eat for a month, there is no problem. It's just that the food delivered to him on time by his classmate poet makes him feel at ease, just like his family members who prepared meals for him every day when he was in school.

Klein suddenly felt a burst of irritability for no reason, which is definitely not a good thing for a "Seer".He immediately found a hidden place and walked four steps backwards, reaching above the gray mist.

He sat on the bronze seat that belonged to The Fool, spreading his spiritual touch to the crimson star that belonged to Leonard Mitchell.

Then, his heart sank instantly.

……

Backlund, inside the Bone Church.

Amon was silent for a moment, stroked his monocle, and said helplessly: "That's why I hate people of the 'dark' path. I will never know what they are thinking."

On Leonard's side, the complete human posture was only maintained for a moment, and a small half of his body instantly disintegrated into a large twisted and wriggling "worm of time".

Those "worms of time" are different from those of Amon and Pales. They are chaotic and distorted, and they can't even maintain the complete form of "worms of time". They sometimes split, sometimes gather, and some are even deformed.

"I obviously don't intend to kill you, why do you resist me in this way? Your behavior has no logic." Amon's eyes were dim, and there was an unexplainable emotion in his eyes.

"I don't want you to become a true god, it's as simple as that." Leonard said in an ice-like voice without any emotion.

The king of angels who can perceive fate, the son of the Creator immediately realized something: "You are from the future, you know that I intend to seize 'Origin Castle' by promoting to the true god."

"That's right." Leonard smiled exaggeratedly: "Now you still want to 'steal' my fate?"

At this time, the "worm of time" characteristic in Leonard's body has extremely strong spiritual pollution. Once Amon integrates into this characteristic, he will instantly fall into madness, and can no longer suppress the "original" will.

"Maybe your brother can separate this spiritual pollution, but we are all Sequence 1, half-madness will only make Extraordinary stronger. Before God comes, you can't kill me." Leonard said calmly, as if talking about other people.

Amon smiled: "No one can separate this spiritual pollution while you are alive, not even the 'fool', only the true god of the 'thief' path can do it. Now, 'error' can no longer be produced .”

"That's not important." Leonard laughed, and the resolute back that looked like a stranger when he finally parted with Klein in another era emerged in his mind.

Although he is indeed not smart, and indeed very weak, the greatest advantage of human beings is that they are good at learning. Klein's deep sleep has already told him Amon's greatest weakness——

He lost to humanity again.

In the next second, the Church of Bones collapsed inch by inch. At some point in the sky, there were thick clouds. A ball of lightning the size of a house dragged a stream of silvery white light, and slammed into the Church of Bones and Ah. Blindfolded.

Amon's avatars turned into coke, but his main body was still separated from Backlund after all.

Almost at the same time as the Church of the Bone collapsed, a force like a dark night enveloped No. 7 Pinster Street, firmly isolating everything in the house from the outside world.

Beside the gate of the house, Dunn Smith had regained consciousness at this time.Amon lost in this game, and with his character, he didn't bother to destroy the chips, and it would appear that he was becoming angry from embarrassment.

Dunn looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, and then fixed his eyes on the iron door plate of No. 7 Pinster Street, with some mottled rust.He remembered that this was Leonard's address.

Why did he suddenly come to Backlund, to the door of Leonard's house?

Suddenly, a figure appeared beside him out of thin air.

It was a beautiful woman with black hair and black eyes in a classic robe with a hood.Her face was very dull, but in the next second, her gaze regained its agility. A pair of black pupils were mysterious and deep, as if containing an endless starry sky.

She pushed open the door directly and walked into the house.

……

In fact, Pallez's body had long been separated from Leonard's body.

He only took away the Extraordinary characteristics of the Sequence 2 level, and kept the Extraordinary characteristics that Klein had collected from Amon's clone before in his Sequence 1 clone, parasitic on Leonard's body, So that he can last longer in front of Amon.

He has remained underground in Saint Samuel's Church, and decisively cut off the connection with the clone the moment Leonard swallowed the extraordinary characteristic of Sequence 1.

And before that, he asked Leonard the last sentence:

"Is there anything else you want to say to him?"

Leonard's answer: "I trust him."

This was the last resort Leonard reserved.

If Amon didn't find him, and didn't threaten the captain's life, Leonard could keep hiding.In just over a year, Klein will be promoted to "The Fool" of Sequence 0, and he will no longer need to be afraid of Amon's attack.

But if he fails, he will never hesitate in the matter of destroying the Extraordinary characteristic of Sequence 1 "Worm of Time" and not giving Amon the chance to "steal" his fate.

Having experienced the baptism of potions twice, his spiritual brand is stronger than that of ordinary people, and he will not be overwhelmed by madness in an instant. This is his real trump card.

At this time, the brown-eyed elderly gentleman with completely white hair, neatly combed back, and almost no wrinkles was standing solemnly at the bottom of St. Samuel's Church.

After a long time, He sighed deeply, and that sigh seemed to float along the torrent of time into a distant time and space.

……

7 Pinster Street.

The beautiful woman slowly walked in front of Leonard.He waved his hand lightly, and the "Insect of Time" that was running away returned to Leonard's body, allowing him to return to his normal appearance.

But madness erodes his will all the time, and as long as he relaxes a little, his humanity will be gone.

"Don't be afraid, it's over." A voice without ups and downs sounded from the mouth of the beautiful woman.

Leonard looked at him from his blurred vision, and reluctantly bowed to him.

"Thank you for your continued help."

"Whether it's past, present, or future."

"Goddess of the Night", Amanisis smiled and nodded to him, then stretched out her hand and pointed to his forehead with her white index finger.

In an instant, all emotions left him.In the faint fragrance of deep sleep flowers and night vanilla, his consciousness seemed to have fallen into an eternal sleep.

……

Backlund.

Fors Wall, who was having dinner with Xio, was suddenly enveloped in an endless gray fog.

Immediately afterwards, she heard the voice of "The World" Gehrman Sparrow rang directly in her mind, which could almost give her nightmares.The voice didn't go through any prayers, and it wasn't as low and cold as usual, and seemed to have a hint of anxiety:

"Call me."

Forsi jumped up from her seat reflexively, and raised her hand to grab the historical pore image of Gehrman Sparrow.

After the image became no longer sluggish, he immediately raised his hand and grabbed "Squirming Hunger" and sent it away.

"..." Fors and Xio looked at each other, neither of them knew what to say.

After a while, Fors slowly opened his mouth and said: "I have a bad feeling..."

Xio nodded approvingly: "Me too..."

……

Klein teleported directly to St. Samuel's Cathedral, and then rushed directly into the ground of the church through layers of anti-locks.

After identifying the direction with divination, he rushed all the way to Archbishop Anthony Stevenson.

"Where is he?" Klein asked straightforwardly.

Anthony Stevenson looked at him with a complicated expression, but recalling the oracle he had just received, he did not hide it: "He was sealed by the goddess at the bottom of Chanis Gate."

"Can I go and have a look?" Klein asked again.

I said no, can I still stop you... Anthony Stevenson nodded helplessly: "I will take you there."

Klein once again stepped into the Chanis Gate. This time, he directly entered the bottom floor of the Chanis Gate without encountering any obstacles.

At the very end of the underground hall, there is a spacious circular stone platform engraved with a large number of mysterious patterns, on which there is a "secret" power that seems to be able to make consciousness go away in an instant just by looking at it.

Leonard Mitchell was dressed in neat and tidy formal attire, lying quietly in the center of the stone platform, as if he had just fallen asleep.

TBC

PS: Amon is cheating, even if Lunbula draws his hatred, he will find him sooner or later, because Adam is watching Lun (??) He just wants to tell Lun that your greatest weakness is that you have humanity.

And Amon will not really kill the captain. The game he designed for himself is: he has grasped Lun's weakness, so he is sure that he can use this human being as a bargaining chip in exchange for characteristics.And Lun directly destroyed that characteristic. He felt that he had lost, so he would not kill the captain.

I think Amon is just a brat. He doesn't care about human life, but he is not interested in killing people indiscriminately. What he likes is to enjoy the thrill of the unknown, and he doesn't want to make himself look shameless.

And these are very clear.
