“Huh?!”
Staring at the now pristine diary, feeling the freshly infused essence of energy in his head.
Han Dong displayed a particularly unusual exaggerated smile. Since Nicholas’s face is quite sharp, this smile gave the illusion that the corners of his mouth were about to meet his ears.
Probably very few people could genuinely feel Han Dong’s excitement at this moment.
Because, through this matter, he associated myriad ‘benefits’…
Ways to replenish [Seed] energy are already scarce.
Among the powers Han Dong currently commands, he can only replenish the energy of the [Seed] by transforming and absorbing other plagues.
Now he has an additional way to obtain energy, and it is extremely efficient.
Moreover, it is obtained directly from the ‘source of pollution’, a high-purity energy.
“In this world, the main enemy of humans is the advanced life forms beyond the city walls!
If I could directly extract energy from them, I could always ensure that I am in a state of energy saturation, not to mention a significant increase in survival rate, this is also a direct method to deal with them.
Same as always, don’t expose this ability before I find a suitable explanation.”
Han Dong quickly finished reading the last page of the diary, read the whole process of the security personnel’s in-depth investigation of the mansion, and a suspicious location.
This information will be very useful when delving into the scene of the incident.
“Let’s go back and gather up. If Fiya’s sister leads the team in this incident, the danger should be minimized. I hope I can get through safely by just using my plague abilities.”
As Han Dong exited the building, a carriage happened to pass by.
“To the church.”
As soon as Han Dong got into the carriage, he found that there was actually another person in the carriage.
If it were in his previous life, Han Dong would have hated such overloading situations and would certainly have called to complain.
But things are different now… the person sitting in the carriage is a man in a white suit wearing a black mask.
“Mr. Black White?!”
In Han Dong’s view, a person of Mr. Black White’s level, if not inside the academy, should be in the core area of Holy City.
He shouldn’t be seen on such ordinary streets, nor is it likely to meet me in a carriage by coincidence.
It must be an intentional encounter, and it has something to do with this bounty incident.
However, it seemed impolite to directly ask about the purpose, Han Dong still decided to play dumb first, “Sir, is there anything you need me for?”
“The bounty task you took over, there’s a problem.”
Han Dong immediately replied: “We have submitted the ‘problem’ we found. After the Knight Regiment’s decision, the original ghost incident has been changed to a supportive task.”
“What I mean is… even after the changes, there are still some problems.”
Han Dong was startled, seeming to understand Mr. Black White’s meaning,
“Sir, are you suggesting I withdraw?”
“No… Continue to execute. Then bring this out and use it at the ‘key moment’.”
From under Mr. Black White’s robe, he handed out a mysterious scroll bound with a black thin thread.
“Sir, what is this?”
“When the scroll is unfurled, it will erase the memories of everyone around to a certain extent… You understand what I mean, don’t you?”
“Thank you, sir. How do I block the recording function of the wind-up device?”
“No need to worry about that, it just records what you’ve done, not what power you’ve used.
In short, you don’t need to worry about anything. If any information leaks out, I will deal with it privately for you.”
The conversation ended.
A black vortex formed in the center of Mr. Black White’s body, his body twisting inward, finally transforming into a black crow, flying out of the window of the carriage.
“Mr. Black White really can foresee everything… truly a huge help.
But Mr. Black White taking the trouble to remind me indicates that this incident is far from simple.
There might even be troubles that are beyond my expectations.”
Han Dong was glad that he chose the Mysterious Department and stumbled upon Mr. Black White.
After storing the scroll, he got off the carriage at the church district.
In a special stable next to the church, Han Dong saw an unmodified white horse with a silver mane.
For a moment, Han Dong was stunned.
He had never seen such a beautiful horse before.
Chances were, the owner of this white horse was Sophia’s sister.
“Have they arrived already?”
As Han Dong was just about to step into the church, an aura emanated from within.
Clang!
The church doors swung open.
A female knight with long golden waves of hair strode out, her gaze meeting Han Dong’s at the doorway…but Han Dong didn’t have any exaggerated reaction, just an awkward smile.
“Are you the last member of the squad? Can’t you feel the urgency? You even have time to stroll outside…Hurry up and join us, we’re heading to the scene to start the operation.
Over two hundred civilians are likely to be sacrificed as live offerings, things are about to get complicated.”
“Alright.’
Knight Silist walked straight to her white horse and without waiting for Cass and others, she sped towards the crisis location.
“Don’t mind it, Andwa friend… Nobility like her can indeed be a bit harsh in words. Let’s hurry over too.
Conveniently, we have completed the [Sacred Baptism] in the church just now.”
The Sacred Baptism grants a kind of BUFF (boost effect) to the subject. -Resistance to ‘pollution’ increased for two hours-
This process was completed while Han Dong and others were releasing ‘pressure’ earlier.
They hailed another carriage to head to the scene – [No.37 Street, Baker House].
To ensure that the local residents are not contaminated, all residents in Block 37 have been evacuated! Both entrances to the block are guarded by a common knight.
Any intruders with abnormal conditions will be executed by the knights immediately.
After showing their apprentice knight identity card, Han Dong and the rest finally arrived at the mansion with the [Beke] doorplate.
Larger than imagined, a two-story mansion that covers nearly a thousand square meters including a rear garden.
Its gloomy architectural style,
Stone blood plants climbing all over the building,
And the heavily corroded black iron gate.
It’s only been a few days since the entire family was murdered, yet this mansion gives off a vibe of being abandoned for years.
“I have understood the basic situation.
You guys put on your ‘goggles’ and break into the mansion directly with me! Let me handle the main target, you just need to help clean up the contaminated humans.”
As Knight Silist finished speaking, she stretched out her right hand vertically and seemed to be murmuring some prayers.
As she pulled down her right hand, a halo-like blessing scripture descended onto every member of the squad.
“King’s Blessing” – Enhances the basic attributes of all squad members and adds holy damage to attacks.
After releasing the group buff,
Knight Silist switched to battle mode, pulling out an iron flail inscribed with holy texts on the surface, her left hand glowing, readying a medium-sized Holy Light Shield.
“Holy Church Army…” Cass muttered, he actually wanted to go in this direction in the future.
Knight Silist stepped into the front yard and walked towards the mansion door.
Bang! The mansion door was kicked open.
Knight Silist, who was ready for battle, frowned.
The mansion was completely empty… Not only were there no humans, but not even a mouse was to be seen..
