Chapter 229 Leonard, what are you doing here!
"You—you're the one from last time." Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared from the alley entrance, Hugh's face showed undisguised surprise.
"What are you doing here?!"
"Who knows—" Lorne shrugged. "Perhaps, this is what they call fate."
"I saved you again."
Actually, this was really just a complete accident.
Although he had indeed considered taking the initiative to contact Hugh, he had not yet put it into action.
Today, he was simply attending a small gathering of extraordinary individuals in the East District. Who knew that the gathering would be ambushed halfway through by a group of people from the official church who appeared out of nowhere!
The whole scene was chaotic. If it weren't for his premonition of impending doom alerting him to something amiss, he wouldn't have been able to escape so easily.
Unexpectedly, they encountered Hugh, who was being driven into a corner, not long after they started running.
So Lorne went along with it and helped her out.
"He can't stay like this for long."
Lorne pointed to the "Night Watcher" who was still standing there, stunned.
This guy's sequence level is probably not high. He was caught off guard by Lorne's "Mental Storm" and succeeded in one hit.
However, "Mental Storm" is not a very strong control skill, and its effect does not last long.
"Let's hurry up and leave. There are still a lot of government officials around here."
".-.OK."
Hugh didn't hesitate much. In this situation, she could only follow Lorne and flee this place of trouble as quickly as possible.
Somewhere in the East District.
Klein and his group of "Red Gloves" are carrying out "official business" of transferring (stealing) a secret warehouse belonging to the "Aurora Society".
"Are we really going to do this?" Klein lowered his voice, his tone somewhat grave. "I feel... something—"
,
"Didn't you already have a divination done?"
Charles, who had been dragged in to do hard labor, asked a question with displeasure.
"I did attempt it," Klein said somewhat guiltily, touching the pendulum on his wrist. "But I still feel a little uneasy about it."
Because this collective action was so sudden, he didn't have time to go up to the gray fog for a more precise assessment; he only roughly measured it with a pendulum.
"Alright, great detective," Irene, dressed in a black dress, said lazily. "Just like before, all you need to do is keep watch outside."
"We've come all this way, we can't just leave empty-handed."
"Okay, I understand. I'll go keep watch from a high place now."
Klein sighed.
After all, we're already here. Let's finish quickly and leave.
Using the Joker's exceptional balance and agility, he easily climbed to the top of a house, hiding in a large shadow, and observing the surrounding movements from above.
Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. After a while, the crimson full moon, which had been obscured by dark clouds, shone through the gaps in the clouds, casting its crimson light down.
The moonlight clearly outlined his figure in his "red glove" uniform, casting a long shadow on the roof. "Captain, look at that shadow over there!"
In the distance, Leonard, who was waiting for news from his teammates, suddenly saw a strangely shaped shadow.
Soster turned his gaze over and immediately showed a look of surprise!
Hiding on the roof in the dead of night! It's definitely a ghost!
"It truly lives up to what Emperor Russell said—'It comes without any effort.'"
He drew a crimson moon on his chest, then looked at Leonard beside him and ordered, "Quickly notify the others to prepare for the arrest!"
"The glory is right before our eyes!"
"Damn it! This moonlight couldn't have come at the worst possible time!" Klein complained.
He was hiding perfectly well. But then, the damned moonlight immediately revealed him, forcing him to move to a different spot.
After a quick search, he hid behind a huge piece of bacon.
"I only showed myself briefly. I hope nothing bad will happen?"
He thought about it with lingering fear.
Meanwhile, with the help of some kind of seal that could block perception, and the innate affinity of the "Sleepless" pathway extraordinary individuals for darkness, Leonard and his group had already silently made their way to Klein's vicinity.
"As expected, it was those imposters!"
Looking at Klein's uniform, which was extremely conspicuous with a crimson moon embroidered on the back, they knew they hadn't picked the wrong person!
You blasphemer!
I'll show you what the price you pay for impersonating the night watchman!
"Ah—yawn—"
Klein, who was hiding behind the bacon, suddenly felt a strange sense of disorientation. He felt his eyelids becoming heavy. "Nightmare!"
Clay, who had fought alongside Dunn, was all too familiar with this ability to forcibly pull people into dreams!
He realized in an instant that a "nightmare" had made a move.
This also means that the people from the "Church of the Night" have arrived!
How did they manage to sneak up here so silently?! Did they use a sealing artifact that can conceal their presence?!
Without time to think, Klein used all his strength to activate a talisman he had placed in his pocket before his consciousness completely faded!
A ray of warm sunlight appeared around him, forcibly pulling his consciousness, which was about to fall into a dream, back to reality!
Without hesitation, he immediately picked up his signal gun and fired a signal flare into the dark sky!
A simple baby image surrounded by symbols of wheat ears, flowers, and springs suddenly explodes in the sky!
what?
Isn't this the symbol of the Church of Mother Earth?
When did these imposters get involved with the Church of Mother Earth? Or is this some kind of deceptive tactic?
All the "night watchmen" present were startled.
Just as all the night watchmen were momentarily stunned by the unexpected signal flare, Klein seized the fleeting opportunity! He quickly snapped his fingers, summoning a stream of flame that accurately shot towards a pile of abandoned wooden crates and tarpaulins in the distance, instantly setting them ablaze.
Then, with a "flame leap," he flashed away from the rooftop!
Irene and the others should have seen the signal by now. I need to get out of here quickly—
However, Klein had only used the flames to leap a short distance and hadn't even had time to regain his footing when a familiar figure suddenly emerged from the darkness ahead.
this--·
The moment he saw that person, Klein, who was wearing a mask, froze on the spot and his pupils suddenly contracted. It was a familiar person with black hair and green eyes, and a rather good-looking appearance.
Leonard?!
No, how did you end up in Backlund?!
