Stray: Chapter 129 dark omen

Ann led the fuller goat through the dark alley. She tugged at the hood on her head, and her wide, thin cloak and tall figure made it difficult to tell her gender at a glance—although Kenyatta's security was good, it was a matter of less.

The companions were not around, and for the first time there was a bitter taste on her face.

Nimo didn't blame her, and didn't even show any unpleasant emotions.

Although her responsibility is not strictly speaking. Surveillance bugs, as its name suggests, were not specifically bred to be discovered. But it's an indisputable fact that Oliver disappears within her reach - whether as a member of the Tumbleweed, or as a more experienced elder in the mission, she can't comfortably fish herself out of that guilt. .

She will at least lose her temper, complain a few tough words, and vent her pain.

But she could see that Nemo was even a little wary of herself—as if she was afraid she would blame herself more for it, or be afraid of him because of it.

This makes Ann all the more sad.

If something really happened to Oliver, she didn't think she could come out as freely as before. After confirming that there was no one around, An knocked on his black badge, called up the light screen, and glanced at the series of tasks he had released again. Unlike Close, who was cash-strapped, she paid for instant notifications—an avalanche of money in her private account.

That was the fortune she had saved for nearly 20 years, but she was not in the mood to care anymore.

The black seal on her chest pulled her silently, and the feedback of another mission arrived. An glanced at the densely packed words, and his back froze. She pondered for a moment, took out the communication crystal, and just when she hesitated about which side to contact first, the sky was illuminated by the warning spell of Radism—

Ann recognized the spell, and it helped her make a choice.

Nimo took out the shimmering crystal in his pocket, and the vulture-like demon believer in front of him had fallen to the ground, sleeping unknowingly.

After getting the information he wanted, he quickly emptied the other party's memory about him, and spread out his perception in an instant - strangely, no enemy was approaching his position. Other than themselves in their team, the only person who could make the Rudd Cult such a move was the former knight commander.

He nervously took out the crystal and quickly went out the door.

"Mr. Cross?"

"Are you alright?!" A slightly low female voice sounded across from her, and Ann sounded anxious. "That's a warning from the Rad Cult, they must have found a superior demon or a demon warlock. Are there any suspicious people in your place? No, no, you should get out of there first—"

"I'm fine." Nemo answered immediately and succinctly, and at the same time heaved a sigh of relief. "In other words, it must not be Mr. Cross who was discovered?"

"No. If it's Cross, they'll issue a summoning order." Ann sounded relieved, "But Nemo, you better hurry back...I have something to discuss with everyone. Discuss. Now I'm next to the clock tower in the southwest corner - I'll contact Cross, there are bishop-level people here, and we can't risk staying here for too long."

"But there are no demon warlocks or high-level demons here." Nemo closed the door behind him, and once again used a black shadow to hide his face. He jumped up to the roof and started sprinting in the direction of the clock tower - the grey parrot parked on the roof spread its wings and followed him closely. "I... er, probed. Do I really need to go to Mr. Cross now?"

"Are you sure?"

"Sure." Nemo closed his eyes again, letting the fast-forward air blow across his cheeks. That little "starry sky" spread out again, still dim... not right.

Aside from Bagelmore, who he knew, a very bright star appeared in his mind. It wasn't far from him, showing where the warning appeared.

What happened?

"...No, there is indeed a superior demon in the city now." Nemo quickly corrected his statement, and the movements of his feet did not stop at all. "It should have appeared within the last half hour."

He didn't realize it in time, and Nemo had a cold sweat on his back. After establishing his identity, he slackened a lot in defense, and it was this slack that caused unnecessary confusion among his companions.

Nemo gritted his teeth and tried to expand the scope of the starry sky in his mind - but his perception seemed to be blocked by something, and the closer to the edge area, the more blurred those "stars" became. If he wants to do everything flawlessly, he can perceive creatures related to the abyss within a radius of more than 200 kilometers at most.

It was a wonderful feeling, like asking him to abandon the focus of his field of vision and stare at living things far away. It made his mind feel as uncomfortable as being stirred by external forces.

His cognition is binding him.

Nemo bit his lower lip and stopped in front of the clock tower. Although he knew what the stars in his mind represented, he didn't know the principle - after all, no recorded demons had this ability, and he had to figure out why they appeared as soon as possible.

After he successfully rescued Oliver from the Island Court.

Nemo saw the figure of the female warrior, and he didn't even need to detect it. Now his nose is much more sensitive than before, and he can easily smell the faint scent of thyme on Ann's body.

"There's nothing wrong with Clos," Ann glanced at him, as if to confirm whether he was missing an arm or a leg. "They're on their way."

She clenched her fists with great strength, and the knuckles on the back of her hands were a little white. "There's something wrong with the island court process, it's just that news has been suppressed - we may be running out of time."

Central City Kenyatta.

The Discipline Bishop Felix Waldron was indeed in a very bad mood, the kind of worry.

Dealing with the Mooney gang is annoying enough. Due to the sensitivity of the current situation, they also had to take care of the dizzy young people like fragile porcelain, so as not to be caught by the Mooney, who could provoke a fight. Now that the situation in the Abyss Church is deteriorating, he has to be distracted by such trivial matters, which makes him particularly angry.

If they hadn't happened to be transferred to Roadmark, he would never have escorted the little ones himself. The bishop paced back and forth in the room, occasionally looking at the crystal ball in the center of the room.

What time is it, he thought gloomily. It is very likely that a strong enemy has appeared, and human beings are still concerned about these red tapes, and some people are even fighting for the land. Felix really wanted to grab those dizzy Alban nobles and wake them up personally—

Yes. With the chaos within Alban, everything starts to go wrong. The headquarters of the Abyss Church collapsed inexplicably, and everything that followed was difficult to explain with common sense. If it is said that it was the ghost of the Abyss Church itself, the main force of the Abyss Church, Hegen Ingram, one of the twelve bishops, died in the incident.

But if it is the credit of which surface religion, with the collapse of the church, the thing that came out doesn't seem to be on their side. Alban's preceptor bishop, nearly fifty years old, shuddered uncontrollably as he recalled the sudden oppression.

If that is the superior demon in the legend of the Abyss Church...

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, ordinary superior demons are definitely not that powerful. That thing is undoubtedly stronger than O'Lore. After it slipped away, there was still no movement, but if it really wanted to do it, he was not sure whether the defenseless human country could hold it.

Felix did not hesitate at that time. As soon as it left, he sent a notice to the Central Holy See as quickly as possible. Now the news should definitely reach the Pope's ears - but the Pope's instructions have not yet arrived, the black figure already has a name in the judgment knight.

They call it "The Bad Omen."

The dark omen is quite appropriate. Felix sighed melancholy and leaned closer to the crystal ball in the center of the table. The crystal ball is not too big, and one hand can hold most of it. It was now lying quietly on the silk cushions—the crystal ball itself was nearly dark blue, with a small piece of carefully carved white bone jade embedded in the top, which lit up from time to time.

It can detect the magical reaction of the abyss within ten kilometers, which is extremely expensive. Originally, he still felt a pity for this, but he didn't expect that there would be a wave of unresolved waves, and the task of Lubiao Town would follow.

He changed his mind. Felix touched the warm crystal ball gloomily. If the world could be more peaceful, he wished he would never see this thing again in his life.

A very strong spot of light suddenly appeared in the crystal ball, followed by a scalp-tingling sound of flesh and blood rubbing in the room.

It is the reaction of the superior demon.

Felix made a decisive decision, waved one hand out of the window, and sent a warning spell directly—

The safety of people in cities comes first.

After making sure the spell was completed, he erected his shield and looked at the superior demon in front of him. What surprised him was that the uninvited guests in front of him were no strangers.

The twisted and wriggling armor, the great sword like the stump of a corpse, the legendary demon killer is standing in front of him.

Felix didn't know how to react for a moment, O'Lore had never been in contact with any religion before. Not so much that he didn't care about them at all—the old demon must have known they were watching him, but he never cared, as people don't care about the staring of a corner spider.

"This thing." The demon picked up the crystal ball on the table and weighed it in the palm of his hand. "I took it away."

In just a few words, the spacious room was already crowded with judge knights who came to support. It's just that in the face of this familiar and unfamiliar opponent, everyone is not sure how to react - they all look at the precepts bishop.

"I'm sorry, O'Lore...Mr." Felix puffed out his chest and squeezed the title from between his teeth. made a gesture. "It's important to us."

"Really?" The devil's tone did not fluctuate, "I just said hello, I didn't ask your opinion."

Felix made a gesture, and the knights of judgment leaned forward. The metal armor collided softly.

"Are you sure?" O'Luo Rui grabbed the crystal ball with one hand and gripped the hilt of the great sword behind him with the other. "Felix Waldron, you are indeed strong enough to fight with me... but our battle will definitely destroy this city."

There was even a contemptuous smile in the demon's voice. "And this is just a small detection tool, and it can only detect my compatriots."

"There is bone jade on it." Felix's face tightened, "You must know that."

Not to mention the bone jade itself, just the accompanying stone of the bone jade can turn ordinary surface spells into abyss attributes. The bone jade retrieved by the crusades often needs to be handled according to extremely strict regulations, and then divided up by the royal families of various countries. No one can explain the specific origin of this precious resource, but even the skull of the demon king retrieved by the previous generation of crusades is not as powerful as bone jade.

It can not only be used as a conversion medium and energy core in all kinds of expensive magic props, but also an excellent material for making destructive weapons. Not to mention demons, they can't even allow this thing to fall into the hands of ordinary humans.

Although the size of this bone jade is really not worth mentioning, it has been irreversibly processed, and it is difficult to be applied to other aspects. but…

"If this is what I want, I will go and **** the fragile royal family." O'Lorrie rubbed the white bead the size of a grain of wheat at the top of the crystal, "...I am interested in this thing. not interested."

"Why now?" The commander's fingers moved faster, and the defensive circles closed the room one by one. "You have been walking in the world for a long time, and it is impossible for you to want such a detection tool until now."

"Because I didn't want to use it before?" O'Luo Rui replied casually, pressing a defensive magic circle, the magic circle made a sound like glass breaking, and it was instantly destroyed. "Even if our moral standards are completely different from yours..."

The orange eyes flashed coldly behind the helmet.

"It is impossible for human beings to make a parent's body into a tool to use at will."
