Looking at the little boy behind the altar and listening to his slightly hoarse and tender voice, Derrick seemed to face the most terrifying monster and almost slashed the "Hurricane Axe" in his hand.

In his common sense, it is definitely not humans who can survive in pure darkness for so long. Even if they were, they will definitely not be there after so long!

"Demon Hunter" Colin's eyes seemed to lit up a little again. His palms holding the sword tightened and his voice asked calmly:

"what are you doing here?"

The little boy with yellow hair who claimed to be Jack replied with a slightly painful expression:

“We are looking for the sanctuary of the Lord.”

"The Lord's Sanctuary?" Colin asked.

"Yes." The little boy Jack turned his head and looked at the dark cross and the hanging figure. "They told me that by moving in the direction the Lord's eyes and moving forward, you can reach His sanctuary."

"They? Do you have any companions?" Colin's eyes turned around as if they were some kind of monster, and took all the surrounding situation into his sight. "Where are them?"

Upon hearing this question, the little boy Jack was obviously stunned.

Suddenly, he pressed his throat and said with a distorted expression in a daze:

“I’m so hungry…

“So hungry…”

In the words that were almost dreamy, the little boy Jack raised his head and looked at Joshua wearing red gloves.

“So hungry…”

His mouth opened and he kept grinning until his ears. His white teeth were neat and slightly viscous saliva kept pouring out.

At the same time, he rushed out and rushed towards Joshua in front of him, so fast that there was still a broken image.

Although Joshua was highly alert, he was a little unresponsive at this time.

Before he could even see the process clearly, the little boy Jack rushed to him.

Dong!

The yellowish-haired figure seemed to hit an invisible wall, pausing only one step away from Joshua.

The little boy Jack touched the air, and a red light appeared in the black body, sizzling and corroding the transparent barrier that blocked himself.

Behind Joshua and Derrick, "Demon Hunter" Colin had kneeled on one knee at some point and inserted the straight sword covered with silver grey oil in his hand into the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the entire area where the altar is located suddenly brightened, as if it was covered with the purest morning light.

Colin suddenly drew his sword, and his figure split strangely, turning into overlapping residual images distributed around the altar. Each figure raised the sword in his hand at the same time, combining with the nearby morning light, and radiating bright light.

Whoosh swish swish swish!

Straight swords pierced out, and the light of the morning light swarmed and surrounded the little boy Jack from all directions. In the brilliance of the sun, the figures with black and red quickly evaporated and disappeared into the storm-like attack.

In the underground hall where the altar is located, the light became extremely bright, making Derrick Berg unable to help but close his eyes.

He shook his god suddenly, woke up from his sleep, and saw the burning fire in front of him and the members who were guarding the camp for duty.

Colin, the "Demon Hunter" sitting cross-legged beside a stone pillar, opened his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"Depart after 50 lightning."

Hearing this sentence, Derrick looked up at the sky and found that the frequency of lightning had not increased significantly, and darkness was still the master of this land.

Thinking of the city-state that was about to arrive and the temple of the fallen Creator, he was a little nervous in a difficult situation.

After spending a certain amount of time to calm down, Derrick quickly fed and recovered his combat state.

I don’t know what will happen in that temple... He held the "Hurricane Axe" and came to the middle of the team.

In the camp, lanterns covered with thin animal skins were lit one after another.

Hillston District.

After walking for half an hour, Klein returned home with both physical and mental fatigue. Fortunately, he encountered no accidents along the way, and the evil spirit actually let them go.

After boiling hot water and adjusting the temperature, Klein took a comfortable bath and relieved his nervousness and fatigue.

With his laziness after bathing, he walked four steps backwards and entered the fog, intending to use divination to confirm the evil spirits.

Considering that he had a grey fog in front of the evil spirit, and the other party did not respond and asked questions, Klein boldly guessed that the other party could not directly notice the grey fog like Edward Vaughan.

The strength of the evil spirit can be compared with Mr. Azk. When he was still in Tingen, he boldly divined Mr. Azk, but the other party did not notice it. Then the divination, which may be worse than Mr. Azk, should be without danger.

I just survived the desperate situation. If I can't quickly confirm the other party's condition and attitude towards me, Klein may not be able to eat.

In the silent ancient palace, Klein leaned on the back of the chair and thought carefully about what method to choose and how to design divination statements. This must comply with the principles of occultism, and cannot involve subdivision and exclusion, and there must be sufficient information.

After a brief static period, Klein leaned forward, showed paper and pen, and wrote down what he wanted to confirm:

"The evil spirits I encountered by chance had strong malice towards Sharon and me."

Untie the spirit pendulum on his left wrist, Klein held it in one hand and began to meditate.

After repeatedly lowering his thoughts, he opened his eyes and looked forward.

This time, the citrine pendant is rotating clockwise normally.

This shows that the evil spirit had a similar malice than Klein thought.

At that time, Miss Sharon and I had nothing abnormal in spiritual intuition... The evil spirit was also a powerful person who interfered with divination and prophecy... From his initial speech, we could feel that he was indeed a murderous intention to be with us, but after confirming that I had a relationship with Mr. Azke and received his attention, he stopped... In other words, Mr. Azke was stronger than I thought, and this evil spirit was actually not as terrifying as Sharon and I thought, but it was also easy enough to kill us... Klein sighed, returned to the real world, and lay down in the bed.

Unfortunately, the heat brought by the "sun brooch" is just a psychological feeling and cannot warm the quilt... Before going to bed, he closed his eyes and thought regretfully.

Monday morning, Joewood District, 9 Second Avenue.

Without dreams all night, Klein slept comfortably until ten o'clock. When the sunlight came in through the gaps in the curtains and shone on his eyelids, he slowly opened his eyes and yawned a long time.

According to the scheduled plan, after completing all the "visits" on Saturday and Sunday, he decided to take a day off and wait until tomorrow to report the final result to Prince Edsack and hand over the task out.

The demon angel seemed to be expelled from Beckland and his life was saved. And he had become a faceless person. As long as he concealed his identity and stayed away from Beckland, he could disappear in an instant like a drop of water falling into the sea.

Although he can't act too casually these days, anger the prince, or go to the club to relax blatantly, just being able to rest comfortably at home is already a very happy thing.

Now is the long-lost time to relax.

After a few minutes of rubbing in the warm quilt, Klein put on his nightgown and got up. He washed himself, wiped his face with a towel, and breathed in a good mood.

Walking out of the bathroom, looking at the clean and tidy living room and dining room, and watching the sunlight penetrate the clouds shine on the transparent glass windows, showing golden patches. He seemed to feel that the haze in his heart for many days was swept away, and his mood became happy because of this.

Reward yourself at noon and go out to find a good restaurant... Klein returned to the second floor and changed his clothes.

Just as he was looking through the newspaper and waiting for the wonderful lunch time to come, the doorbell suddenly jingled.

"It's all New Year, and someone will come to entrust the task?" Klein got up and walked towards the door, making up his mind to refuse.

In order to get rid of the royal family, we must go to the south to "vacation" as soon as possible and no longer take on tasks.

To his surprise, the visitor was not a stranger, but the old housekeeper of Prince Edsack.

The old housekeeper wore a well-tailored long tuxedo and saluted without being arrogant or without losing his identity:

"Detective Moriarty, His Highness, waiting for you in the carriage at the intersection of the street, hoping to understand the progress of the investigation."

So impatient? Well, I won't be able to run to Hong Rose Manor tomorrow... Klein quickly reorganized the words he had planned last night in his mind, and responded calmly:

"OK."

He was about to take off the hat from the coat rack when his stomach suddenly felt a pain, and the pain he wanted to squat on the toilet.

After enduring it, he found that he couldn't help it, he said to the old housekeeper apologetically:

"I'm very sorry, I'll go to the bathroom first, my stomach is not very comfortable."

The old housekeeper did not have any abnormal expressions:

"This is your freedom."

When Klein solved his emergency, he found that the old housekeeper was no longer there, and the maid who was waiting outside was the brown-haired, naturally curly maid.

"Your Highness the Prince asked me to say sorry to you. He still has something to do and cannot wait too long. Please go to Hongrong Manor tomorrow or the afternoon of the following day." The maid bowed meticulously.

It's less than 10 minutes, I'm already as fast as possible... I can squat for a while with the newspaper... Klein smiled and said:

“No problem.”

After receiving a response, the maid who completed the task immediately removed her burden and chuckled:

"Detective Moriarty, you missed it with that lady again."

"Ah?" Klein was slightly confused.

The maid lowered her voice and said, "That lady came with His Highness this time with His Royal Highness. She proposed to visit you by detour."

As a result, I missed it because of a stomachache? Something was wrong... Klein frowned slightly.

This repeated "coincidence" clearly pointed to something that impressed him, and recalled someone who could not be forgotten. This fact casted a gloomy feeling on Klein's relaxed mood.

But no matter what the food is, I still have to eat.
