Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Hobert paid the fare and waited for the carriage to go away before climbing over the wall and entering the abandoned factory with Hugh.

This place is already on the edge of southern Backlund. It is very secluded and suitable for doing some shameful things.

The sun had already set at this time. After observing for a while and finding no danger, Hobert and Xio quickly rushed to the factory.

Just then, a crow fell in front of the two people.

Hobert took a brief look and found that the crow had no obvious external injuries. It seemed that it had fallen due to exhaustion from flying in the sky.

Looking up, the crows are still circling and flying, like vultures preparing to enjoy a feast.

The two people had a bad premonition about their spirituality at the same time. Hobert leaned against the wall of the factory and said, "I feel some kind of evil power. The ritual mentioned by Zachary in the letter is unlikely to be for someone." The seven righteous gods have something to pray for."

Hugh paused for a moment before saying, "I'm good at fighting, but not good at dealing with evil forces!"

Hobert said: "Since none of us feel any danger, it means that although Zachary's ritual is evil, it is not very dangerous.

"But for the sake of safety, if there is any sign of danger to our spirituality, we should run away immediately and report it to the Zhengshen Church!"

Although the spirituality of "arbitrators" and "lawyers" is not as sensitive as that of "divineers" and "dividers", they still have the most basic danger warnings.

In addition, "reporting" is a common skill in the Tarot Club, and Hobert does not have any psychological pressure in this regard.

Xio nodded, and without further ado, the two of them started taking action immediately.

The factory was very empty, with only some dusty debris piled at the base of the walls. It was obvious that anything of value was sold before the factory was abandoned.

Hobert took out his gun and turned on the safety, and Xio pulled out the Mitsubishi Thorn hidden in his pants. The two of them went straight to the stairs. Before they went upstairs, they heard some movement above.

The two people's muscles were tense. Since there was no sign of danger during the whole process, the two people simply rested in front of them. Hobert was behind and immediately rushed forward.

No matter which potion Zachary took, both Sequence 9s, Hobert and Xio, were confident of overpowering each other.

Because he was afraid that Zach had a gun, after rushing to the second floor, Xio used his agility to jump suddenly and roll forward to attract the opponent's attention.

Hobert followed closely behind, pointing his gun at any sign of movement, ready to fire at any moment.

However, they did not encounter the fierce counterattack they expected, and Hobert swallowed back the words "Don't move" that came to his lips.

In an abandoned office, there is indeed a figure. His hair is messy, his face is as dry and wrinkled as a mummy, and his body is covered with abscesses. At this time, he is selflessly in a simple sacrifice. Pacing in front of the stage.

Xio took out Zachary's portrait from his pocket and could probably identify the man pacing as Zachary.

Hobert said: "He's not in the right state." He seemed to be on the verge of losing control.

Only then did Zachary finally seem to see Hobert and Hugh. His left eye was numb and lifeless, but his right eye was flashing with a strange light.

Hobert and Hugh, who were stared at by Zachary's right eye, immediately felt frightened and uncomfortable, as if they were being stared at by a filthy, evil creature.

Hobert said: "Don't look at him!"

He quickly turned his head away to avoid contamination.

"Hahahaha!" Zachary's dry throat burst into evil laughter. He said solemnly as if he was reading God's will: "I saw it! I saw the kingdom of God!

"On the golden earth, I hold a torch and look at the kingdom of God! The ancient gods are wandering on the earth. They are so tall that they cover the sky and the sun. They exude the smell of filth and pain!

"The huge crow wanders in the sky, holding human skeletons in its mouth, feasting on the souls of the dead..."

These words were like a spell, giving Hobert and Hugh a splitting headache!

Hobert fired a shot with a trembling hand, and the loud noise of the gunshot brought him and Hugh out of their nightmare state.

Zachary was obviously affected by a powerful evil presence. Hobert's first shot missed the target. He fired two shots in succession, and finally one shot hit Zachary in the lower abdomen.

Zachary fell to the ground, unable to continue reading his obscenities.

But he immediately crawled to the altar, chanting: "The Creator of all; the Lord behind the curtain of shadow; the fallen nature of all living beings!

"I pray for the power of the Fall..."

There were subtle changes on the altar, as if an evil and corrupt force was coming.

Hobert quickly stepped forward to finish the shot, and shot Zachary through the head at close range.

This guy is actually praying for the power of the true Creator! Isn’t this looking for death?

As Zachary's spell was interrupted, the corrupted power gradually dissipated.

The crows in mid-air suddenly screamed "Yeah~" together. They finally stopped flying in circles and fell to the surrounding trees to rest.

Xio also let out a long breath. Although she didn't understand much about ritual magic, she didn't quite understand what happened just now, but she knew in her heart that Hobert's clean attack just now prevented the evil force from coming. , two people also escaped.

Hobert was still worried, so he put away his pistol and dismantled the altar made of discarded tables.

He took another look at the twitching corpse and guessed that Zachary might have taken the magic potion of the "Secret Prayer".

The "Secret Prayer" of Sequence 9 is one of the potions most likely to get out of control. First of all, the True Creator has a great influence on the low-level extraordinary people, which is the nonsense mentioned in Zachary's letter.

In addition, their inspiration is very high, and they can always hear some sounds they shouldn't hear and see some things they shouldn't see, so they can easily lose control.

Because of the characteristics of high inspiration, "Secret Prayer" can easily master some ritual magic. However, if he performs rituals on evil beings, he will either be contaminated unknowingly, or his temperament will change drastically.

Xio endured her nausea and briefly checked the body to confirm that Zachary was really dead. She glanced at Hobert: "The clue has been broken again."

"Not necessarily!" Hobert leaned against the wall to rest for a while, then picked up three candles from the ground and lit them according to the needs of the ceremony.

The nervousness of killing someone for the first time and the excitement of just walking on the edge of death made all the muscles in his body tremble.

But now we must seize the time to channel. While Hobert drew a symbol representing the goddess of the night in the middle of the candle, he asked Xio: "Miss Arbiter, have you ever heard of channeling?"

Xio opened her mouth wide: "Are you still psychic?"

For wild extraordinary people, channeling is a very advanced ritual magic.

Hobert smiled and said: "If Zachary was still alive, with my current spirituality, I would not dare to channel, but now that he is dead, it will be easier."
