Part 1 The Joker Chapter 208 – Crying

　　Tick tock, the transceiver in the captain’s office suddenly stirred, as if a new telegram was about to appear.

　　But Klein and Leonard could no longer part with their attention; they were red-eyed, silently counting the beats of the second hand:

　　”Ten.”

　　”Nine.”

　　”Eight.”

　　……

　　At this time, Dunn Smith left hand resting on the square box that seemed to be made of silver like bone, expression stony, entered the reception hall.

　　Mei Gao Ou Si who was continuously pulling off a handful of blonde hair and scratching out a trail of blood marks deep enough to be seen on the bone seemed to have been stimulated by something, and violently stood up, raised her hand to point at Dunn Smith who was wearing a thin black trench coat, and pointed at him, and pointedly shouted:

　　”You tried to kill my child!”

　　”You tried to kill my baby!”

　　Bang! Between the echoes of this shrill to horrible voice, Klein felt as if he had been hit hard on the head with a hammer, and forgot the silent count with a hallucinatory headache and vertigo.

　　His eyes were instantly tinted with a blood-red color, and the end of his nose seemed to have some kind of liquid that couldn’t be stopped from flowing out.

　　Subconsciously glancing sideways, he saw Leonard Mitchell with blood at the corner of his eyes, the end of his nose, and the side of his mouth, his face pale to the extreme, and his body staggering as if he was about to fall.

　　I seem to be the same …… Klein snapped back his thoughts and continued counting silently from the breaking point, jumping two seconds on his own accord:

　　”Five.”

　　”4.”

　　……

　　In a voice so sharp as to be frightening, red filaments covered the inside of Dunn Smith’s dark gray eyes, streaks clearly visible.

　　The veins in his face also protruded, one by one like vipers, while gurgling red water flowed out of his ears.

　　But he was not dazzled by this; his right hand paused only for a second, and then, driven by strong willpower, he pressed down on St. Selene’s urn and uncovered the lid.

　　Inside was a darkness so deep that there were grains of brilliant fine sand in the darkness, and the scene took on a fantastic beauty, like the starry sky at night had been put inside the box.

　　The surroundings darkened, the depths enveloped the entire reception hall, and countless black, cold, slippery filaments swirled in the air.

　　They surged towards Megoeth, wrapping around her almost instantly.

　　It was not like a spider’s silk, but more like a tentacle of some unknown creature!

　　Megoose’s right eyeball had long ago clawed itself down, clinging to its blood-stained tether, and hung below the socket, as she stared angrily at Dunn Smith and shouted:

　　”You must die!”

　　Bang! Dunn was thrown by an invisible force and hit the opposite wall hard enough to crack the wall and send bricks flying.

　　He spat out a mouthful of blood with a poof, but his hands were still cupped around St. Selene’s urn, holding it in a death grip and not letting it fall to the ground.

　　The black, cold, slippery filaments tightened and tightened, binding Megalios firmly in place, and no matter whether it was the suddenly rising flames stained with mold or the blasphemous liquid secreted from the surface of Megalios’s skin, it could not cause the slightest harm to it.

　　”3!”

　　”2!”

　　”1!”

　　Klein and Leonard grabbed out of the partition at the same time, one holding a warm, thin piece of gold in his hand, while the other had already wrapped the “Vein Thief” around his left wrist, and spread his five fingers at Megalios.

　　Megoeth, who was almost no longer human, was struggling hard, and each of her left and right shoulders had a bulge of flesh, mixed with veins and veins, and rounded like a child’s head.

　　On top of these two “heads”, there were cracks spreading rapidly, as if they were about to turn into eyes.

　　Suddenly sensing the danger, Megoeth opened her mouth wide, letting the corners of her mouth crack all the way down to the base of her ears.

　　She wanted to curse every enemy in front of her with “blasphemy” who wanted to harm her child!

　　At that moment, the fingers of Leonard’s left hand snapped together and his wrist rotated in a half circle.

　　His pale face turned the color of liver, and the veins on it stood out like tiny poisonous worms.

　　”……” Megoeth’s “blasphemy” stuck in her throat and came to an abrupt end.

　　She seemed to have lost her ability to speak, to curse others.

　　Seizing this opportunity, Klein opened his mouth low and spat out an ancient Hermetic word:

　　”Light!”

　　I want light, and there is light!

　　He immediately felt the thin gold sheet covered with mysterious patterns in his palm become hot, and saw it emit a piercing light, as if it had transformed into a small sun.

　　Immediately afterward, Klein poured most of his spiritual energy into it, and threw this “Yang Yan Charm” at the imprisoned Megalios!

　　The reception hall brightened up, the depth and darkness disappeared at the same time, and the thin black threads wrapped around Megoeth retracted, as if they were instinctively avoiding something.

　　But before Megoeth was free, she saw the sunlight.

　　A large hole in the ceiling of the Blackthorn Security Company had been shattered at some point, and this large hole went through the roof of the third floor, letting in the blue sky and the burning sun at the same time.

　　The gold flake merged with the sunlight above Mego Oz’s head, and then expanded, lighting up a ball of light in its place, surrounded by countless flames.

　　Rumble!

　　The entire house shook violently, and all the glass in the nearby streets shattered.

　　However, the power of the ball of light was concentrated at the core and didn’t dissipate much.

　　It wrapped around Mego Oss, and the light pierced the eyes of the three of them, Klein, Dunn, and Leonard, who couldn’t open their eyes.

　　Fighting back tears, Klein squinted to see that the light had dissipated, the flames still soaring, and the many black ashes circling and dancing among them.

　　There was no trace of Mego Oss and the baby in her womb, just like the coffee table, water glass, newspaper & combination sofa in that area.

　　Solved? Settled K and K’s mother before the baby, suspected to be the heir of an evil god, could actually take shape and be born into the real world? Klein was still in disbelief for a moment.

　　From his experience of playing the game, how could such a big boss be taken care of so easily!

　　Suddenly, all of his hairs stood up, and the Joker’s premonition told him that there was an extremely strong danger coming!

　　Without thinking, Klein rolled to his left.

　　At that moment, an arm-length, exceptionally sharp white bone knife split out from somewhere, floating in mid-air, with an exceptionally demonic beauty, its speed is so fast, its posture is so difficult to avoid.

　　Brush!

　　Klein’s right chest clothing was split in half, his skin was split in half, his flesh and blood was split in half, and his bones were also split in half!

　　The wound was so deep that he could almost see his lungs.

　　If it wasn’t for the fact that he had sensed the danger in advance and made a timely evasion, this slash would have turned his entire body into two pieces and he would have died tragically on the spot!

　　But even then, Klein appeared to stagnate, as intense pain filled his head and drove away his thoughts.

　　At the end of the white bone blade, a figure darted and outlined, and if not for its raised stomach, I’m afraid no one would have been able to recognize her as Mego Oss.

　　Her hair and dress were burned clean off, the skin of her face and body was all charred and black and was falling off piece by piece, her nose was melted and only two small black holes were left where it had been, her eyeballs were nowhere to be found and pale white flames were leaping from the hollows.

　　The “heads” that protruded from both of Megalios’ shoulders were also burned off, and her left arm became the white bone blade she held in her hand, demonic and holy.

　　Clang!

　　As the floor shook, Megalios ignored Dunn, ignored Leonard, ignored the black, cold, slippery filaments that were rewinding, and came to Klein, who had stalled in his tumbling movements, with the white bone knife aimed at his neck, about to cut out.

　　Suddenly, she heard a voice that contained a strong hint of blasphemy:

　　”Yield!”

　　Leonard raised his left hand and locked it on Megalios with his palm, and the seal “2-105” wrapped around his wrist changed from thick, pale, red-colored veins to dark red “intestines” that were bulging to the point of bursting.

　　He had just managed to steal Megoeth’s “Blasphemy” with the help of the “Blood Vessel Thief”, but now he was trying to control the other party with his ability!

　　Only abilities of the same level could have an effect!

　　Megalios, who was affected by the “blasphemous words”, slightly bent at the waist, her legs trembled at the knees, and her movements stopped, and the countless black silks around her surged up as if they had found a delicious prey, and Klein seized the opportunity and rolled over to the other side, leaving behind a trail of crimson blood.

　　However, he was also relieved from the pain, and his palm went into the pocket of his coat and took out the last “Yang Yan Charm”.

　　He wanted to take advantage of the fact that Megalios was under his control again, and finish her off once and for all!

　　If she lasted until the baby was born, the consequences would be unimaginable!

　　Bang!

　　Megoeth’s head exploded on its own, sending blackened skin and flesh flying in all directions.

　　But her headless body was freed from the effects of the Blasphemy!

　　Bang! Megalios’ blackened body turned into a cannonball and crashed into Leonard with the speed of a launch, and because the “Blasphemous Words” was forcibly destroyed, Leonard briefly froze in place.

　　At this time, Dunn Smith is still holding the urn of St. Selene tightly, his face is unusually pale, and the cold black line that was created is still a little short of being able to close the circle, and is about to blacken all the surrounding space.

　　Clang!

　　Mego Oss crashed into Leonard, knocking him into the wall and collapsing it with a loud bang.

　　Leonard’s roots cracked and blood continued to spill from his mouth, and without even the urge to try to struggle, he simply passed out.

　　Mego Oss raised her white bone knife, but the countless black threads that spread out from St. Selene’s urn wrapped around again, to wrap her tightly and confine her in place.

　　Klein didn’t have time to care about his injuries and pulled out the thin gold piece.

　　Just as he was about to chant the ancient Hermetic incantation, an abrupt voice suddenly rang out in the deep, dim, and serene room:

　　”Whoa!”

　　It was the cry of a baby.
