Part 2 THE FACELESS CHAPTER 214 THE CHOICE OF THE TIMES

　　The sewers were unlit, and a normal person would have to carry a horse lamp to see clearly.

　　But for Kraven in his spiritual state, this was not an obstacle; everything around him had already been reflected in his “eyes”.

　　Therefore, when the “Apostle of Desire” discovered him, he also discovered the “Apostle of Desire”.

　　Without opening his mouth, without hesitating, he directly opened his mouth and let out a silent whine.

　　This was an attack that directly harmed the soul!

　　”The Apostle of Desire’s body, which was about to make a move, suddenly stopped, as if it had been given a heavy blow by someone.

　　A large piece of black color fell from his shadow-like body, as if he was shaking off snowflakes stained with the deepest desires.

　　At this instant, the “Apostle of Desire”, who was already seriously injured, almost fainted.

　　Without the support of a solid body, he was like a candle flame in the gale, swaying and likely to go out at any time in such an attack.

　　His shadow scattered in a flash, transforming into a pitch-black liquid that flowed in all directions, leaving one to wonder which one to chase after.

　　And just then, a shadow suddenly leapt out of the darkness behind Klein and lunged forward!

　　The black liquid, which was no longer sticky, was just a prop used by the “Apostle of Desire” to confuse attention and facilitate his surprise attack!

　　Klein didn’t seem to react at all, letting the shadow pounce on him.

　　However, the “Apostle of Desire” suddenly shivered, as if he had come into contact with the coldest and iciest thing.

　　The shadow quickly became slower, and seemed to have been “frozen” to rigidity.

　　He knew that all ghosts and shadows had their own freezing effect, but he didn’t realize that this guy wearing a dark crown could make himself, who also belonged to a spirit body, also suffer from the effect.

　　This was a complete bit suppression!

　　Klein had expected such a result, and he half-turned his body, extended his right hand, and pressed it on the head of the stiff shadow.

　　Then, the dark golden “sun brooch”, which was hidden by the black armor, flashed with a faint light.

　　The “Apostle of Desire” sensed the danger and the approaching doom, and tried to resist, but was briefly powerless.

　　A bright, divine light appeared out of nowhere and landed on the shadow’s head, enveloping his body.

　　The surroundings were suddenly illuminated, and the black shadow struggled with all his might, but continued to evaporate, and in the work of blinking his eyes, he had become abnormally thin, his own spirit filled with the light of the sun’s rays and the frantic cries of his unwillingness.

　　Klein didn’t give him a chance to catch his breath and summoned another pure and bright holy light.

　　After two seconds of daylight, the “Apostle of Desire” fell to the ground and lost his breath.

　　His body remained in a shadow state, thin as if it had no thickness.

　　This Sequence 5 powerhouse, who had just assassinated a duke, died just like that, without even being able to give his last words.

　　At the same time, Klein saw his opponent’s battered spirit about to dissipate.

　　Extraordinary characteristics analyzing out will have to wait for a while …… Should I imitate Ms. Sharon and possess the shadow to speed up the progress …… But I don t know that technique ah …… Klein considered what to do next The question.

　　Suddenly, he felt the ground shaking slightly.

　　Relying on his spiritual intuition, he looked to the place he had passed by before.

　　A tall and heavy silver armor came flying, and the area diagonally down the left shoulder was stained with a large amount of coagulated blood.

　　Seal “1-42″…… Klein’s heart tightened, and without hesitation, he wrapped the spirit of “Apostle of Desire” and ended the summoning.

　　His original intention was that even if he didn’t have time to resolve the “Apostle of Desire”, as soon as an official extraordinary person arrived, he would immediately “return” and leave the follow-up to the other party.

　　The red-gloved man in the blood-stained silver armor had just seen a figure wearing a black crown and a cloak of the same color, when he realized that the other party had disappeared without a trace, leaving no traces behind.

　　He narrowed his eyes and carefully scrutinized the location where the other party had just been, and found the “Apostle of Desire” who had lost his life.

　　”Clearing the clues and destroying the evidence?” He said in a low voice.

　　The red gloves behind him arrived one after another.

　　……

　　After returning above the gray mist, Klein didn’t rush to psychic, and directly left that mysterious space and entered his real-world body.

　　He skillfully packed up the candles and other ritual items, quickly removing the last trace of them.

　　After doing so, he once again created his double and took four steps against the grain to get inside the ancient palace above the gray mist.

　　Here, he could communicate directly with the remaining spirits like a real “psychic”, without the need to pray to anyone, and even without the aid of rituals, which he had already verified when he was channeling the “Secret Puppet Master” Rosago.

　　Considering that the spirit of “Apostle of Desire” Belial had been purified and might dissipate at any time, Kline was prepared to ask for relatively more important information first.

　　As for the formula of the magic potion of the “Demon” pathway, he intended to consider it at the end of the day, anyway, even if he obtained it, he did not intend to sell it, so as not to cultivate a few cold-blooded serial killers.

　　Looking at the brown-haired, brown-pupiled, empty-eyed “Apostle of Desire”, Klein spread his spirit and asked:

　　”What exactly are you plotting?”

　　The “Apostle of Desire” was completely cut off from the outside world by the gray fog, and could only answer in a muddled manner:

　　”Assassinate Duke Negan.”

　　Duke Negan…… him again? Who wants him dead so badly? Klein asked with slight consternation:

　　”Was it successful?”

　　”Successful.” “The Apostle of Desire” replied calmly, not telling anything else.

　　In this state he would only answer what he was asked.

　　Poor Duke Negan, the Storm Lord can’t protect you …… Klein drew a Crimson Moon on his chest.

　　He didn’t try to get the details and asked directly:

　　”Who ordered you?”

　　Is it the same organization that commissioned “Hurricane Lieutenant General” Tsilingus in the first place? Klein thought back to the previous assassination incident.

　　”The Apostle of Desire” said in a tone that didn’t see a ripple:

　　”An organization, the most secretive and oldest organization, the vast majority of extraordinary people do not know it exists, its members are said to have various fields of big names, perhaps the various churches and the military of various countries some of the top is one of them.”

　　It sounds familiar ah …… Could it be the hidden organization that Emperor Rossel joined, the ancient organization that holds the second “blasphemous tablet”? Klein said with a twitch in his heart:

　　”What kind of reward did they promise you, so much so that you are willing to give up the identity that you have been operating for more than ten years?”

　　”The Apostle of Desire” replied with a slight change in his voice:

　　”A card of blasphemy, the ‘Abyss’ card!”

　　A Blasphemy card? The “Abyss” card, one of the twenty-two blasphemous cards made by Roselle! This probably corresponds to the “Demon” pathway, so it’s no wonder that the “Apostle of Desire” was willing to pay for everything he had accumulated in the previous decade or so……. Inside there was his hope of becoming a High Sequence powerhouse!

　　This reward is much more valuable than the mission!

　　However, “Hurricane Lieutenant General” Zillinger would not have been attracted by such a reward, unless that organization had another Blasphemy Card that he needed, or some other item. ……

　　If it was really the mysterious organization that Russell had joined, it would be normal for them to have collected a few Blasphemy Cards. …… Even if they didn’t, they still had the Blasphemy Tablet in their possession. ……

　　Klein was first shocked, then asked in disbelief:

　　”Why do they want to deal with Duke Negan?”

　　The spirit of the “Apostle of Desire” faded a lot more and said in a hollow tone:

　　”I don’t know, I’m only considering whether or not to take this mission.”

　　”Then have you heard anything?” Klein pressed.

　　”The Apostles of Desire are still in that undulating state.”

　　”I’ve heard that their main theme is to resurrect, or awaken, the true Creator.

　　”They interfere with the progress of history, making it fit their own needs as a means of accomplishing their goals at some point.

　　”If the tide of the times is not as they anticipate, they do their best to reverse the tendency.

　　”Other than that, they just watch quietly and indifferently, perhaps without an action or commission for decades or centuries ……”

　　Truly a hidden organization …… fits the description of Russell’s covert manipulation of the world’s great powers …… again tied to that original Creator …… Klein see The spirit of the “Apostle of Desire” was about to dissipate, so he asked again:

　　”What is the name of that organization? How do I contact them?”

　　The “Apostle of Desire” looked ahead without any emotion, and his figure quickly disappeared.

　　And before completely disappearing, he answered the question he had just asked:

　　”Their name is:

　　”The Dusk Hermit Society.”

　　……

　　Inside the house with the glass greenhouse.

　　Mr. Secretary, who was slim and wore gold-rimmed glasses and white gloves, sat with a grim face and a look of deep sorrow.

　　”What is your name? Serial number, of which extraordinary path?” Deacon Iconser asked solemnly.

　　The blonde secretary answered slowly in a low voice:

　　”Lockhart Siakam, Sequence 5, and as to which Extraordinary Pathway I belong to, you can request access to my file from MI9.”

　　”Good.” Iconser turned to him and asked, “Does the Duke come over at a set time every week?”

　　”No, he’s not a man who likes to follow a schedule, even more so after being assassinated by Zilingus, no one knew before today that he would be here today, and I only heard about it in the House this morning.” Lockhard Siakam replied seriously.

　　Iconser thought for a moment:

　　”If there is a spy among you, who do you think it is and do you have a suspect?”

　　Lockhard thought for a few seconds and shook his head.

　　Iconser asked for more details about the battle at the time, getting a general grasp of exactly how it went down.

　　Seeing Lockhart’s pale face and injuries, he politely got up and went to investigate the rest of the Duke’s Guard.

　　After seeing this “Mechanical Heart” deacon leave, Lockhart took a breath and walked with a heavy pace to Duke Negan’s body.

　　The great nobleman was no longer naked, but what remained on his face was still extreme horror.

　　After looking deeply at Duke Negan’s body for several seconds, Lockhard whispered sadly:

　　”I’m sorry.”

　　At that moment, the corner of his mouth, with his back to everyone, suddenly curled up slightly.

　　He unusually calmly added a sentence in his heart:

　　”This is the choice of the times ……”
