Evan Burns raised his head from the scroll, and looked out the window in doubt...

It was getting dark at an eerie speed.

The Eye of Annihilation quickly cut the palm of his left hand with the ritual knife, and the dark red blood dripped on the floor of the room.

Like a sponge, the wooden floor quickly absorbed Ivan's blood.

The runes composed of bloodstains rose all the way, activating the mysterious heritage "Crow's Nest" pocket watch embedded somewhere in the house—

The mysterious heritage that Ivan originally carried with him has been regarded as one of the protective hubs of the shelter.

His right hand turned up, a pure white rune lit up on the palm, and the "pigeon cage" was also activated.

Outside the house, flocks of ravens and white pigeons soared up and flew around the house, chirping and making noise like raindrops in an instant.

Ivan closed his eyes, and above the house, a thunder-colored mystic eye appeared, and there was a thunder in it...

It took less than three seconds for Eye of Annihilation to activate the Sanctuary mechanism.

However, when the Cang Lei Eye opened, his heart trembled because of seeing the outdoor situation——

The thick black ball curtain completely enveloped his hut.

"Who is it?" Feeling the unfathomable coercion, Yiwen's mind turned quickly, thinking of many possibilities.

It is possible for the flock of birds around the house and the Eye of Cang Lei to barely defend against the King level, but facing enemies of this level...

Before the flash was over, he saw the inside of the black ball like a wave, swallowing his flock of birds in an instant.

It was as if the viscous black oil on the sea came to life and preyed on the flying seabirds.

The originally loud chirping sound became quiet after sobbing.

Cold sweat instantly drenched his back. Ivan watched helplessly as the smoky texture of the black ball shrunk and tightened. He didn't know where the enemy was. Except for a little disturbance, there is no effect.

The black dome pressed down and swallowed the Eye of Mystery. Inside the house, Ivan squatted on the ground covering his left eye that was emitting black smoke.

He felt a clear breath, sweating profusely raised his head, and looked in the direction of the gate.

The black wind whizzed and knocked open his door.

In the depths of the thick blackness, Ivan saw a pure white space, and in that pure white space, a thin figure walked slowly.

"Who are you..." Ivan's spiritual power was almost completely destroyed by the opponent.

"Who are you!" Eye of Annihilation roared loudly, apparently not intending to just let it go, he became angry and slammed the bases of his thumbs together fiercely.

A pair of palms are facing each other like a giant bird flying with wings.

Immediately, there was a distant singing of prayers in a language as old as heaven and earth in the room.

The shadow of a shaman with antlers dancing on a tambourine painted with the totem of a thunderbird emerged in the campfire.

The palm of Yiwen's hand lit up, as if it had become a passage leading to the world of thunder and light. A clear hawk sounded, and the raptor bursting out of his palm, scorched everything along the way, and directly blasted towards the strange place in the thick darkness. silhouette.

The thunderbird entered the other world through the gate, and when the eagle chirped again, it seemed to have swooped into the valley, becoming distant and ethereal.

With Yiwen's decisive blow, he seemed to fly into the unfathomable world and never looked back.

The figure was leaning on crutches with one hand and the other behind his back.

He raised one hand and held it forward.

A thick black cloud-like object rushed in through the window and doorway like a flood that opened the gate, engulfing Evan Burns, and then carried him away like an ebbing tide.

Then, the black cloud and mist dissipated suddenly, and everything was like a dream, and it ended in an instant.

The difference is that there are scorching marks left in Ivan's home, and the owner of the house has disappeared.

The three of Sean who witnessed the video record all showed varying degrees of surprise on their faces.

Moonlight was stunned for a long time, and said, "Ivan was taken away?"

Sean didn't answer, but just raised a hand, signaling to continue watching—the video is not over yet.

About a minute after the darkness dissipated, they saw their familiar partner walking back.

However, the temperament of Ivan who returned at this moment has completely changed.

He was still wearing a gray-blue robe and a thunderous mask, but he looked like a walking dead.

Ivan stumbled into the house, used secret techniques to restore all the traces of the battle of disparity in strength, then sat at the table dumbly, and began to flip the scroll of "Thunderbird Myth".

A moment later, a thunderbolt rose from the scroll and struck straight at his face.

The Eye of Annihilation mask flew backwards and shattered on the ground.

Yiwen also collapsed on the chair, no more sound...

Then, the video ends.

Sean looked at Ivan, who had just died, and gradually disappeared on the chair.

They stood silently for a long time, and it took a long time before they came back to their senses.

Moonlight said incredulously: "That person took Ivan away, and then controlled him, making him look like he died of studying?"

Sean lowered his head.

The death of his ruminant partner made him very uncomfortable, and even Olivia felt a heavy weight in his chest...

·

After checking Ivan's house again, Sean and his party found no more information about the attacker.

They have walked out of the oppressive wooden house and are back outside again.

Without approaching the great lake again, they stopped at the firewood chopping place where Ivan was apparently, and stood in the shade, looking at the lake surface illuminated by the afternoon sun from afar.

The moonlight with mixed feelings in his heart could tell that Xiao En was in a very bad mood. With a gloomy face, he said:

"...At least we already know that Ivan's death is not an accident."

Moonlight knew Sean's feelings well.

Evan Burns was murdered.

That's enough to make people mad.

They didn't bother to think about the fact that the opponent obviously had another ace.

Sean hasn't felt this way for a long time, a fiery irritability.

Whenever this happens, he wants to have a cigarette, although he has quit for many years.

This feeling is somewhat familiar. When she was chasing Aaliyah, she would feel this feeling whenever her pursuit failed.

It took him a long time to calm down, and he looked at the moonlight with some complicated eyes.

Moonlight shook his head, knowing what Sean was going to say again: "Stop talking. We have to find a way to kill that son of a bitch."

Without further ado, the group got on their horses and left the cabin.

Returning to Jungyer again, it was almost dusk, and Sean and the others had no time to go to dinner, so they went straight back to the branch office and found the Martyr of the Truth.

On the way back, the three of Sean had already discussed clearly: In order to ensure that the secret would not be leaked, they would not tell anyone that Ivan was murdered. Investigate in depth...

During this process, Sean would not be polite if anyone obstructed him.

When Sean expressed his suspicions, Martyr apparently had no disagreement—it's never a bad thing for someone to be willing to dig a little deeper. After all, there is still a missing Queen class, and God knows if there is a deep pool of water behind it.

Although Sean and his party already knew the truth about Ivan's death, their investigation was not smooth.

There are no in-depth leads on the murder scene or the identity of the attacker.

They can only spread their thinking and investigate from various strange places.

Among them is the strange ritual of Junger at midnight~lightnovelpub.net~ Only when they understand what Sean and Moonlight saw that night can they continue to stay in this small town with peace of mind.

What's more, from those seemingly unrelated angles, it may be possible to connect with Ivan's death...

However, before returning, Sean and Moonlight still had some disagreements on whether to ask the martyr directly about what happened that night.

Moonlight believes that Martyr, who is a native, may have something to hide. They might even be put in danger because of it.

After considering what Moonlight said, Sean decided to ask straight to the point—

If he encounters concealment or resistance, he doesn't mind using some thunderous means.

After all, it is the duty of local official explorers to explain the behavior of the people in their jurisdiction.

Now he doesn't have much patience and demeanor.
