Lord of Mysteries: Curly-haired Baboon

v1 Chapter 138: die

After trying the taste of "preserved eggs", Monaghan never dared to come again.

This also allowed Lucid to enjoy a comfortable life, like a dream.

After finishing some incidents related to Intis, the night watchers in Tingen also seemed to relax all of a sudden.

During this period, Lucid learned and mastered the two techniques of "psychic" and "ritual" on and off.

This also confirms one thing on the side:

The imprint on the hand does indeed have a secret effect!

In addition, after finishing a simple mission, she was successfully promoted to an official member of the Night Watcher.

This allowed Lucid to celebrate this, and invited all the night-watchers to the best restaurant in Tingen for a real meal.

However, this good mood was destroyed after Monaghan asked her if she had any "red boiling food".

This reminded her again of the horror of being dominated by "Nightmare".

When she returned home that night, she realized a lot of preserved eggs in her dream, quietly waiting for Monaghan's arrival...

But surprisingly, she didn't wait for Monaghan who was cheating and drinking.

This puzzled Lucid.

Early the next morning, Lucid, who had just arrived at the "Blackthorn Mercenary Group", was stopped by Monaghan.

I saw Monaghan look serious, and commanded as if a little anxious:

"You are guarding the station. There is an accident at the Public Security Department. Let's check it out."

After that, Curtis hurried away with one-armed cane.

Looking at Kurtis's cane, Lucid couldn't help being a little surprised.

I always feel that there is a sense of disharmony?

I couldn't help but want to laugh, this cane in Kurtis's hand really felt like a play.

Shaking his head, Lucid stopped all these jumbled thoughts.

Turning his head, he started chatting with the "civilian of the mercenary group" next to him.

After Monaghan went, one morning had passed.

It wasn't until the evening that he returned to the "Black Thorns Mercenary Corps" tiredly.

Lucid, who was about to leave work, frowned as he looked at his worried look.

It was strange, as if there was a faint feeling in my heart that I couldn't see clearly.

This made her a little irritable.

But until Lucid got off work, nothing was wrong.

...

The next day, Lucid, who had just arrived in "Black Thorns", was called by Monaghan.

Compared with yesterday, he is now more haggard, and his face is more and more stubborn.

Seeing "Xilin" slowly walking into the head of the regiment, he nodded slightly and said:

"Go to the Public Security Department with me later."

"Oh, I see"

Lucid agreed, but he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Didn’t you go to the Public Security Department with Kurtis yesterday? Why are you still going today?

Just as she turned and left, just as she was about to walk out of the "leader's room", she heard Monaghan's words again:

"Ah, you have to hand over work with Kurtis... I'm sorry, I just forgot to say."

"Uh, all right."

Turning around and nodding, Lucid walked out of the "commander's room."

But I vaguely felt something was wrong in my heart.

Although the memory of "Nightmare" is notorious.

But Monaghan did not have this symptom before.

"Is there something wrong?"

With some doubts in his mind, Lucid found Curtis and explained to him his intentions.

Hearing this, Kutis put down the cane in his hand, frowned and told about what happened yesterday.

The thing is like this:

At the very beginning, an extraordinary incident occurred in Jinwutong District, where a housekeeper and a maid were killed at the same time.

The reason why it is defined as a transcendent event is that the two people's death method is too weird.

This poor housekeeper was actually strangled to death by the maid who was killed at the same time.

After strangling the butler to death, the maid also died almost at the same time.

The cause of death is unknown.

And when the two were discovered, they were still in a state of nakedness.

But it didn't stop there. After the case was handed over to Tingen Night Watcher, something stranger happened again.

In the Department of Public Security, two other sheriffs suffered similarly in this way.

What's even more surprising is that the two sheriffs killed this time... are both men.

The situation is getting worse.

After explaining this, after a short while, Lucid saw Monaghan with a dignified face walking out of the underpass leading to the "Chanis Gate".

Lucid, who has just become the official night watcher, has never watched the "Chanis Gate", but he has visited it under Monaghan's leadership.

He carried a slab wrapped in black cloth in his hand, as if it was a little strenuous.

Called Lucid and Morris on the side, they boarded the night watcher's carriage together.

In the car, Lucid and Morris sat side by side, and Monaghan, carefully holding the plate wrapped in black cloth, sat on the other side.

Looking at the weird slab, Lucid was a little curious.

In the "spiritual perception", there is a faint feeling of "this thing is dangerous".

The anxiety in his heart became stronger and stronger, Lucid blinked and asked suspiciously:

"Captain, what is this...?"

Monaghan looked at Lucid, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice:

"This is a sealed item."

"Its name is "Death's Gate"."

His emerald green eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked:

"Has Kurtis taught you similar knowledge?"

Lucid nodded.

After a pause, Mona's Chinese spirit became a little dignified, and he introduced:

"The appearance of the "Death Gate" is a normal wooden door. Any creature that passes through it...will die directly."

"Its number is "2-078"."

"Grumbling."

Hearing this, Lucid couldn't help but swallowed secretly.

This is the rhythm of the big events!

Looking at this posture of Monaghan~lightnovelpub.net~ It looks like this incident is very serious!

Morris next to her also frowned, and the rapier in her hand became tighter.

Seeing their performance, Monaghan nodded slightly and comforted:

"This time we are going to deal with a mid-sequence powerhouse. But don't worry too much. I have made sufficient preparations for this situation..."

After a pause, he instructed the solemn "Shilin" and Morris:

"2-078 has the characteristics of being alive, will always try to escape, and can change its appearance to pretend to be those doors that originally existed."

"I will release him when he arrives at the Public Security Department... So you have to be careful not to pass through any door lightly."

He glanced at "Shirin" again and continued:

"Before entering the door, you can do a simple divination. 2-078 does not have the characteristics of anti-divination."
