Chapter 161 Inverted Mausoleum

Most of the buildings in Morse town follow the style of a century ago, the most conspicuous one is the steeple and black church.

After finishing the carriage, Klein and the others quickly finished their lunch consisting of bread, toast, bacon, cream, and coffee.

"Under the purification of the sealed item '3-0782', we can still last for two hours and thirty-five minutes." Standing at the door of the church, Keenli took out a gold pocket watch from the inside pocket of his tuxedo suit, and opened it to look at it. With a glance, he said, "I suggest dealing with the few suspected haunted incidents first to avoid possible deterioration, and then return to the church, take turns guarding them, and recover."

——Under normal circumstances, Sequence 9, Sequence 8, and Sequence 7 Extraordinary who are close to the limit state have to stay away from the "Mutated Sun Sacred Symbol" for 2 hours before they can fully recover, but if they have not reached the limit, or only want to recover part of it, then Depending on the situation, at least 1 hour.

"OK."

"I have no opinion."

Klein and Leonard spoke at the same time.

"Then which incident shall we deal with first?" Keenli asked his companion for advice.

Leonard put away his carefree posture and said, "The old man living alone heard the sound of heavy footsteps echoing in the house."

"Why?" Keenli subconsciously asked the reason, and Klein was also interested in waiting for someone to explain.

Is this the so-called poet's intuition? He quietly blackmailed the other party.

Leonard's gaze shifted from the short Keenli's face to Klein's face, and then back again, chuckled and said:

"Because it's the closest to the church."

"How do you know? It's not written in the information..." Klein blurted out.

Leonard smiled and said: "Didn't I go to the bathroom during the meal? On the way back, I met a trainee pastor and chatted casually. He told me that Noah's home is near the church. Well, Noah Ah is the name of the old man who lives alone."

As expected of being a Nighthawk for more than three years, he is very proficient in doing tasks... Klein laughed dryly, turned his head to Kernli and said, "Then let's go to Noah's house first."

"Okay." Kenli didn't have any opinion on this.

And just a minute later, they arrived at Noah's house...

Noah is an old man with gray and thinning hair,

When he was young, he lost his left hand forever in a war, had to leave the army, took compensation, and returned to his hometown.

At this moment, he opened the door, looked at the three strangers in front of him, and then at Sier who hurried over from the church, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Come in, I hope you can solve my problem, I heard you brought holy water, holy emblem, silver dagger and garlic? The state of an elderly person who cannot sleep peacefully for two consecutive nights, oh, Goddess, I have been carrying fear, and my spirit has become trance."

As soon as he entered the gate, Leonard suddenly straightened his back, and his eyes seemed to look around substantively.

Immediately afterwards, Klein felt the cold aura lingering in the room, which was the trace left by the ghost's activities here.

"There are indeed unclean creatures here." Kenli was the last to discover the situation here, and said in a low voice.

"Very weak." Leonard withdrew his gaze and spoke leisurely.

"Midnight Poet" can be regarded as a "profession" with high inspiration in all Sequence 8 records recorded by the church.

"Yes." Klein felt that the warmth and purity naturally emanating from the sealed item "3-0782" were rapidly dissolving the cold aura, and the other party had no resistance.

At this moment, the townspeople who had been waiting for a long time gathered at Noah's house, watching Klein, Leonard, and Kernley with curious and expectant eyes.

"Cough!" Leonard cleared his throat and said loudly, "We have the blessing of the goddess, and those unclean creatures will disappear soon, without causing any trouble."

After speaking, he signaled Klein to perform a "purification ceremony" for everyone with his eyes.

why me? Klein asked back with his eyes.

Of course, he didn't know if Leonard could understand his eyes.

Obviously, Leonard understood what he meant, lowered his voice and said:

"You're a professional, when it comes to rituals."

Well, who told me to take the initiative to apply to help? Klein tidied his clothes, and received the holy water, holy emblem, silver dagger, and garlic from Leonard.

He first put the "Dark Sacred Emblem" on his chest, then broke the garlic and threw it to every corner one by one.

"Hey, is this how garlic is used when exorcising ghosts?"

"It's different from the description in the newspaper..."

"Can this work?"

...

The townspeople who watched were chattering in an instant, curious and excited, just like visiting a circus.

Useless! I'll just do whatever I want! Klein suddenly had the feeling that he had become a "clown". He quickly half-closed his eyes, picked out the holy water with a silver dagger, and sprinkled it on the ground.

As he sprinkled, he walked around the house, muttering:

"Goddess of the Night..."

"Mother of Secrets... Lord of Crimson..."

"Empress of Calamity and Fear..."

"Lord of Sleep and Silence..."

...

This standard magic stick fan immediately shocked the audience, and the townspeople fell silent one after another.

Once a person enters a quiet state, it is easy to notice things that were previously overlooked.

"It feels very warm."

"It's like basking in the sun..."

"No, I seem to see a pure sky..."

"It's amazing... Is this the function of holy water?"

"As expected of a priest sent by St. Selina Church!"

"Praise the goddess!"

...

The townspeople discussed in low voices, and their gazes towards Klein, Leonard, and Cornley gradually filled with awe. The homeowner, Noah, obviously relaxed, and had no doubts about whether the matter could be resolved.

This is all the effect of the sealed item "3-0782"... Actually, we don't need to do anything to get rid of the ghosts, just stay in place for a minute... It doesn't need to be tiring or troublesome... Klein puts the cold air from all over the house After the purification was completed, he opened his eyes, put away the silver dagger, and drew the crimson moon on his chest seriously and earnestly:

"Praise the goddess!"

"Praise the goddess!" The townspeople responded reverently.

"There are still some things to deal with, but we need absolute silence." Leonard looked around and said with a smile.

The townspeople who had seen what it means to be "professional" did not dare to stay forcibly. Under the call of Priest Sier, they left Noah's house like a tide. Even the owner of this house had to leave temporarily.

"Actually, I really want to sleep right away..." Noah muttered and walked towards the church.

Leonard stepped forward and reached out, closed the door, turned to Klein and said:

"You divination the cause of the incident."

"No problem." Klein also wanted to try to see what he could get out of the divination.

I know Mr. Ards did it... But his personality doesn't seem to be low, heh, the personality of a person who can live for 1,300 to 400 years is definitely not too low... So, my divination will definitely be affected ...In this case, without the help of the mysterious space above the gray mist, I don't even know what enlightenment I can get... Klein took out the pen and paper he carried with him, and wrote the "divination statement":

"The cause of the Noah's haunted incident."

He took the paper, walked to the round table, sat down, closed his eyes, and leaned back in the chair.

In the blurred and hazy world, Klein suddenly saw a black mausoleum.

It is similar to a pyramid, but it is embedded in the ground upside down, almost buried.

And inside this ancient mausoleum, a thick black mist covered everything.

Klein suddenly woke up and opened his eyes.

"What did you find?" Kenli asked with concern.

Klein thought about it, and described the revelation he received in the dream in detail without concealing it, and finally said:

"This is definitely not the mausoleum style of the Northern Continent. I mean the Fifth Era. In this regard, I am barely an expert."

Leonard nodded as if thinking:

"That is the 'Inverted Pyramid' of the Southern Continent, which means entering the underworld from the human world. No matter in the former Balam Empire or its branch Highland Kingdom, only the so-called descendants of the god of death can build such a mausoleum for themselves."

"In a sense, this is a symbol of 'Death'."

"Well, the ghost must be related to the god of death. The result of this divination is undoubtedly correct."

Ignoring Leonard's ridicule, Klein was in a daze, and had an interesting thought:

Could it be that Mr. Ards is a descendant of God of Death, or that he can gain such a long life because he made some kind of deal with God of Death?

According to the corresponding chapters of "Apocalypse of the Night" and the internal data of the Nighthawks, the God of Death is an evil god who once caused a catastrophe in the Northern Continent at the end of the Fourth Epoch. That period was called the "Pale Age".

Well, it was said that He fell in the alliance of the Seven Gods... The original age of Ramud Castle is untestable, but it will not be earlier than the "Pale Age".

If there is indeed some connection, then there is something to be explored about the black hand who lived in the red chimney house and took away the skull of Mr. Azik's child...

Of course, this may also be an excuse for the countries of the Northern Continent to colonize the Southern Continent. After all, they mainly believe in the God of Death...

Because there were no other discoveries, the three nighthawks did not stay for too long, and soon left Noah's house, and began to deal with the other two suspected haunting incidents.

The same process, the same result, they quickly freed the town from the trouble of the undead breath, but they did not find the source of all this.

On the way, Leonard asked the townspeople if there were any strangers coming in the past few days, and he got a negative answer.

Mr. Ards hasn't been here? He should have arrived in secret, and then left quietly, no one noticed... He was indeed cautious... What does he mean by saying that he will return to Tingen City on Wednesday, even if we don't deal with it, those "ghosts" will disappear by themselves on this day? Klein was thinking about things, and followed Leonard and Kenli back to the entrance of Morse Church.

And they can still support 1 hour and 45 minutes under the "Mutated Sun Sacred Emblem".

"We take turns guarding it every hour." Klein endured the excitement in his heart, looked at the sky and said, "Try to be able to rush back to Tingen City for dinner.

"No problem." Leonard glanced at Klein and said with a low smile, "But to ensure safety, I suggest two guards, one resting, and taking turns."

...Klein was stunned for a moment, his thoughts changed suddenly, and he responded with a smile:

"Okay, but in this way we have to calculate the most reasonable rotation method, who will rest first, who will be next, who will be the last, how much time will be recovered each time, and how much recovery, well, I think it is necessary to establish an unknown number Equation, in order to find the optimal solution, and compare it with a single guard...It would be best to have an efficiency function...Let's assume that the unknown is..."

"Stop!" Leonard's green eyes were full of confusion and fear, "In this case, let's guard alone. The one whose turn it is is to stay in the church. Its scope is large enough. Of course, it must Let Priest Sair and the others go to other places as guests, and the remaining two stay outside the church to prevent anyone from approaching."

"That's my opinion too." Keenli found himself having a headache whenever he heard math problems.

"Okay." Klein nodded "reluctantly".

If he failed to convince the two teammates just now, he can only try to trade with Leonard like last time, using everyone has a special and secret, and pay a certain amount of information in exchange for his departure.

And now, the problem is completely solved!
