The evil witch BOSS just wants to develop in a low profile

#88 - Taboo of the upper position [Time Difference Alarm Clock]

Golden Palm Beach Club.

This is one of the most famous aristocratic clubs in the Bay Area.

Ordinary people may not know about it, but it is very well-known among the nobility.

To become a member of this club, one needs to pay membership fees of 500 to 1000 gold pounds each quarter.

And the information circulating among the nobles is also very simple.

That is, the Golden Palm Beach Club possesses incredible supernatural powers.

The rarity of supernatural power means that even nobles need to spend a lot of money to have a chance to obtain it.

And during this time, whether it was the "Rat Plague Event" caused by the [Rat King] deep underground in O'Glan City.

Or the "Terror Evil Spirit" floating in the sky above O'Glan City.

Both have made the stories of the supernatural increasingly intense in O'Glan City.

The despair and helplessness of ordinary people in the face of supernatural disasters.

All of this has made the nobles of O'Glan City eager to acquire the mysterious "supernatural power."

Naturally, the "Golden Palm Beach Club," rumored to be hiding supernatural powers, has become known to more and more nobles, and some have even joined it.

However, simply joining the club is not enough; one also needs to demonstrate sufficient "devotion."

Next to the window in the fifth-floor hall.

[Sun·Theurgist] Uria Sisi, frowned slightly as he looked out the window.

Steam cars and carriages passed by on the street from time to time.

There were not too many or too few people coming and going, and the attire of many of them indicated that they were upper-class society gentlemen and ladies.

The streets were clean and tidy, and there were even police officers from the precinct maintaining order here.

This was the kind of scene that a high-end wealthy community should have, a natural and harmonious scene.

But "Uria" always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Vice Bishop Uria, Your Excellency."

Just then, a clear voice rang out.

Uria turned around and saw [Evil Spirit·Theurgist] "Francis" walking over.

Both of them were in the [Theurgist] sequence.

When Francis first joined the Sun Church, he had guided him for a period of time.

The two had a good relationship.

Francis had a kind smile on his face, sunny and cheerful.

His golden hair and golden pupils, as well as the sunny smile on his face, always gave people a positive feeling.

"Everyone is discussing interesting anecdotes about the sea, which are very interesting."

"The love between a mermaid who has learned human language and a shipwrecked sailor, the beautiful singing of the ocean banshee undulating in the waves, the mysterious subterranean island inhabited by ancient humans, and if a suitable island is discovered, it can also be used to develop a marine plantation. Everything on the ocean is fascinating."

"Also…"

He paused.

"I noticed that you seem to have been here for a long time. Are you thinking about something?"

Uria raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Have I been here for a long time? I thought I only stood here for a little while?"

Francis paused for a moment.

"It's been almost an hour. Is that a little while?"

However, he did not dwell on this small issue.

"I have some problems with the release of theurgy. I hope you can give me some guidance and advice."

Uria, who was a little upset at this time, ignored Francis's question and instead pointed outside and asked.

"Do you feel that something is wrong outside?"

"Something wrong outside?"

Francis couldn't help but look outside.

The streets outside were very clean, the sun was very bright, and the few pedestrians strolled along both sides of the street. Everything was very harmonious and natural.

He thought seriously for a moment, then frowned slightly.

"Lord Uria, it seems like there is something, but it also seems like there isn't."

Uria took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

"That's the problem."

"Clearly, I feel that there is something wrong, but…"

He moved even closer to the glass, trying to bring the outside world into his pupils.

"But I just can't find it!"

Drawn in by his question, Francis looked again at the world outside the glass window.

"Perhaps… because it's too quiet outside!"

Francis said casually.

Too quiet?

In an instant, a thunderclap rumbled deep in the soul of [Sun·Theurgist] Uria Sisi.

"Yes… too quiet, it's too quiet outside!"

Looking outside again.

Uria's heart trembled, and his face turned pale.

"Outside…"

He stammered, cold sweat dripping.

"It's terrifyingly quiet!"

"Also, the sun… the position of the sun is also wrong!"

Although the outside was as quiet and natural as ever.

At this time, in Uria's eyes, there was only endless fear outside.

He stiffly turned his head away from the distorted world outside and withdrew his gaze.

"Go!"

He walked towards the inner hall without looking back.

"Go where?"

Francis, who had not mastered the sequence for long enough and had not experienced enough cruel supernatural events, had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.

But he still followed.

"Go see Bishop Yura!"

"But Bishop Yura is not to be disturbed right now."

"That was before, now he can be!"

[Sun·Theurgist] Uria Sisi, pushed open the door of the inner hall with force.

"Sha sha… sha sha…"

As soon as he came in, Uria heard a strange sound like insects crawling on his eardrums.

When he saw the situation in the inner hall clearly.

He held his breath slightly and stood silently to the side.

Francis, who was following behind him, glanced across the hall, and his expression instantly became much more serious.

He also realized that something big was happening and followed Vice Bishop Uria to stand aside.

At this time.

In the center of the wide inner hall, an ordinary rectangular ritual table was placed there.

A headless body was standing.

Blood flowed silently.

Together with the ticking alarm clock, a head was placed on the table.

A head that still maintained a smile from before death.

Uria recognized the owner of that head.

It was Vice Bishop "Drew Mill," who was responsible for the security of the Golden Palm Beach Club.

In the morning, he was still talking and laughing with him.

Now, the other party was already on the table.

Sha sha!

Sha sha!

The apprehensive "Francis" stole two glances at the alarm clock that brought the strange sound.

Its style was simple and old, with double-ear bells, probably a classic model from forty or fifty years ago.

The iron shell was also slightly mottled with rust.

The peculiar ticking sound seemed to be ringing deep in the soul.

The more he looked, the more his face turned pale.

Upper-level·Forbidden Sealed Item [Time Difference Alarm Clock].

This was one of the most terrifying forbidden sealed items of the Holy Sun Church in O'Glan City.

And at this time.

This [Time Difference Alarm Clock] was placed here.

If it was just placed here, and fell into their hands, then without a doubt, this would be a huge victory.

The problem is!

The [Time Difference Alarm Clock] was in the activated state.

This meant that it was not the [Time Difference Alarm Clock] that had fallen into their hands.

But that they had already fallen into the encirclement of the [Holy Sun Church].

The [Time Difference Alarm Clock] that was activated and not activated were completely two different things.

The constantly ringing ticking sound was like the Grim Reaper urging death to approach.

Every second seemed to be gnawing at their souls.

Time passed by, minute by minute.

When a specific time was reached.

Everyone looked in unison at the ritual table, and the man sitting behind the ritual table wearing a black windbreaker, a fedora hat, the brim of the hat pressed very low, and very broad shoulders.

Originally.

The position of this mysterious man should have belonged to Lord Yura Difu, the 7th-level [Holy Light·Priest] who served as the bishop of O'Glan City.

But at this time, Bishop Yura Difu of O'Glan City stood respectfully to the side.

The only ones who could make the bishop of O'Glan City show such an attitude.

That can only be one of the three red-clothed archbishops within the [Sun Secret Sect].

As for which red-clothed archbishop it was, they didn't know, and they weren't qualified to know.

The other seven or eight vice bishops responsible for various areas of O'Glan City, and the core-cultivated transcendents gathered their gazes.

In the intersection of everyone's gazes.

"This is the Holy Sun Church's top-level sealed item, the [Time Difference Alarm Clock]."

The deep, somewhat hoarse voice of the man in the fedora hat rang out.

His tone was relatively relaxed, and everyone could clearly hear the words he was explaining.

"Before using this forbidden sealed item, it needs to be placed for a period of time. During this period, it will tighten the time, constantly collecting timelines and compressing them."

The man in the dark fedora hat slowly explained.

"When it reaches a specific time, it will begin to release the compressed time and form a unique timeline, a timeline with a perfect time difference from the outside world."

"Clearly, we will feel that the passage of time is very normal."

"Clearly, we can see that there is nothing wrong with the outside world."

"But in reality, we are just operating within the time released by this [Time Difference Alarm Clock]."

"The timeline we are in now is a timeline that has been manipulated, a timeline that has been changed."

"This leads to… we know nothing about the outside world."

"When the alarm rings, we will arrive at the scheduled time node."

"We will face the real timeline, a timeline surrounded by enemies."

"Normally, before the meeting, a vice bishop needs to conduct a screening of the entire area."

"To ensure the safety of the council."

"But because of someone's dereliction of duty, thinking that multiple gathering ceremonies have already been held here, there will be no danger."

"In addition, the enemy is indeed prepared."

"This leads to…"

The man raised his head.

His eyebrows were very heavy, the skin on his face was slightly rough after years of wind and sun, the combination of wide shoulders and a rough and thick face made him look particularly strong, just sitting there was like a mountain.

"We completed the gathering here like clowns, being played by the enemy."

"Of course, he has already paid the price for this!"

The head on the ritual table still had a smile on its face.

The explanation of the man in the fedora hat.

Made people's hearts even more terrified.

The enemy had already carried out a comprehensive encirclement, and they knew nothing about it.

The man wearing the fedora hat got up and came to the window.

He narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the outside world.

The more he saw through that false facade, the more cruel the truth he saw.

Taking a deep breath.

The man in the fedora hat turned around and looked at the many core members of the Sun Church in the room.

"They knew long ago that we would be gathering here and made arrangements in advance."

"Although Mr. [Prophet] predicted that we would succeed."

"But… now it seems that it is obviously not this time!"

"Of course!"

The man in the fedora hat paused.

"The problems that have occurred so far are not problems!"

"The real problem is… how did they know our plan?"

"As an ordinary transcendent club gathering, no one knows that this is the meeting point of the Sun Church."

"The power of transcendents is blooming in O'Glan City, and many such transcendent clubs have already appeared."

"Even if they knew, they would definitely not use such a large formation to lay out the situation."

"But the reality is that they used the top-level power to surround this place."

"Not only is there the [Time Difference Alarm Clock], but there are also other terrifying powers."

"It would not be an exaggeration to say that they have come out in full force."

"Obviously, they know that the great ceremony of [Bleeding Sun] is about to bloom in O'Glan City."

"Since this is the case, then it also means that someone among you must have leaked this major confidential information!"

"Being able to pass on this important information while enduring the gaze from the great sun, you have a lot of skills!"

The man in the fedora hat gradually scrutinized everyone with his almost solidified gaze.

Everyone was trembling slightly to varying degrees.

"And this… is also what I admire the most."

"You successfully passed the information out, and we knew nothing about it."

"Since you're on the poker table, you always have to be willing to admit defeat, right?"

As soon as these words came out, all the transcendents present became even more frightened.

[Bleeding Sun] This is one of the most magnificent ceremonies of their [Sun Secret Sect].

It is also the plan that Mr. [Prophet] gave a positive answer to.

It is the beginning of their [Sun Church] officially bathing in the sunlight.

Since they are going to lose this time, then there must be chips to pay.

And they are most likely the chips that will be lost.

But then, the voice of the man in the fedora hat made their hearts surge again with huge waves.

"But I don't like to admit defeat like this!"

"At least, I can not lose so much!"

"There is always one of you who is a snitch, isn't there?"

"So you have ten minutes to prove your innocence!"

"Otherwise… this table can fit all of you!"
