Mystery: Start with the Reader

Due to his intervention in the Backlund Great Smog Incident, the number of people who died directly was definitely much less than in the original work... But the number of people who died indirectly due to diseases and plagues would not be much worse than in the original work...

Because that is not caused by extraordinary abilities, but by Backlund's own shortcomings. The haze mixed with various germs and particles will cause great harm to the human body!

"Witch" just speeds up the process.

Therefore, once those workers and poor people who have been living in the smog environment for a long time and have been harmed by it get sick, it will be difficult to survive if they cannot receive timely treatment...

But the reality is that they have no money for medical treatment...and the church's assistance is of little help.

Although I understand that the harm of this great smog is almost inevitable in history, it is just that without the "witch" acceleration, the deaths will be spread over a longer period of time, not as concentrated as now...

But Abner still felt in his heart that "Desperate Nightingale" deserved to die. After all, she only did it to cover up the conspiracy and complete the performance... She had no intention of promoting social development and improving the system...

Although I am not a "gentleman", I still do my best to avenge those innocent people and let myself have clear thoughts!

While his thoughts were spinning, Abner controlled "Wanderer" Alvin to use the "record" ability to summon historical projection, then stretched out his right hand and grabbed it into the air in front of him again.

After five consecutive blows, Alvin's arm muscles tensed up visibly, as if he was pulling something extremely heavy.

As he retracted his right hand, a figure was quickly outlined.

The figure's facial features were soft and handsome, somewhat similar to Mr. Azik's, except that his skin was relatively fair and his hair was the same dark blond color as Jane's.

This figure is the author of the "Book of the Dead", a traveler who is suspected to be active in the late Fourth Age, and is the "Death Archon" and "Lord of the Dead", Vicente Miranda.

At the same time, he is also the ancestor of Jane who is sleeping deep in "Calderon City".

Abner has been famous for him for a long time, and even "retrospected" to his rather embarrassed side in the dusk courtyard of Indo Port, but that was just a distant view, and this was the first time to observe him up close like this.

Perhaps due to the "projection", His Highness's eyes are extremely cold, as if just looking at you can freeze your soul.

He wore a deep black robe dotted with stars, and held a pale mask with shining metallic luster in his hand. Although he was extremely powerful, he did not feel "alive".

This is a former "Death Archon", an angel from Sequence 2!

With a sigh, Abner manipulated the "Wanderer" and let him issue instructions to the historical projection of His Highness Miranda.

After receiving the order, the angel's expression seemed to be a little more alert. He stepped out of the church in one step, stood in the air, and scanned the entire foggy town for a few times. Then his body suddenly expanded and turned into a giant line covering the sky of the entire town. snake!

This giant snake is both illusory and real. It seems to be composed of things that humans cannot understand. Its whole body is covered with huge green and black scales, and feathers grow from the gaps. Each feather and each scale has a different shape. The strange symbols, even just seeing them, will cause people's flesh and blood to rot and turn into living corpses.

This is Quetzalcoatl from the myths and legends of the Southern Continent. His eye sockets are burning with pale flames, and a pair of exaggerated and thick dark golden wings spread out from his back.

Abner, who followed Him and "opened the door" and walked out of the church, witnessed this mythical form under the protection of the "Pure White Eyes", but in just a moment, he felt the rapid consumption of "spirituality", and the "Pure White Eyes" "Also almost closed on its own.

Abner quickly looked away, but was a little surprised in his heart, because the form of Quetzalcoatl of His Highness Miranda was different from what he had introduced in Edwina's book collection.

The difference is mainly concentrated in the pair of huge wings and dark golden feathers.

"I remember that in the original work, Quetzalcoatl's wings should be white...the dark gold wings are actually the symbol of Gray Carrie, the ancient god of death who opened up the underworld and the ancestor of the phoenix...

"This Your Highness Miranda has the characteristics of the mythical form of the Underworld Emperor Salinger and the Phoenix!

"Mr. Azik also said that Vicente Miranda was probably one of his brothers...

"Is it possible that He is the common child of the Emperor of Hades and the Phoenix?

“Or maybe the Pluto Emperor used some means to appropriate the Phoenix’s resurrection backhand and turned it into one of his own backhands?

"This can also explain why His Highness Miranda is sleeping in the 'Calderon City'. After all, the city that was dragged into the spiritual world was the former Kingdom of God of the Phoenix."

Just as Abner was speculating endlessly, the feathered snake that was entrenched in mid-air reached forward and opened its mouth to spit out pale flames that could cover the entire town.

Those white flames did not harm the houses or objects, and did not even touch the many foods that were pulled by the "spirit threads". They only enveloped the remaining extraordinary people in the town.

Almost all the survivors, after being contaminated by the "Pale Flame", did not even have time to scream, and their bodies quickly rotted and weathered, turning into a pile of withered bones.

Only a bright and holy woman wearing a simple white robe could temporarily resist the erosion of the "pale fire" with the help of the "black flame" that burned violently on her body, and rushed out of the town with all her strength.

But her resistance only lasted for two or three seconds. The surrounding black flames were broken through, and then the layer of ice inside quickly melted.

Seeing this, Panatia's heart suddenly changed, and she was about to show her incomplete mythical form and survive in death.

But before she could do so, she felt that even her spirituality had become corrupted, and the ability that she could use with just a thought had become extremely difficult!

And her beautiful and holy face and body were rotting rapidly. In just a second or two, it was so rotten that yellow-green pus leaked out, and her flesh and blood fell off piece by piece!

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

The "Desperate Nightingale", who was left with only white bones, didn't even have time to feel her own "despair", and the entire body frame hit the ground on the street.

With the sound of clicking, Panatia completely fell apart. The slightly exposed white robe was spread on it, covering the white bones, covering several items that fell to the ground, and also covering a piece of Flashing brilliance.

A Sequence 4 "Witch of Despair" fell... Faced with an angel, even if it was a projection inferior to the original body, all she could do was resist for less than half a minute.

After confirming that the Witch had died, Quetzalcoatl in mid-air suddenly disappeared and returned to the historical pores of the Kingdom of Darkness.

This is an angel... Abner sighed, then "flyed" to Panadia's bones and collected the spoils.

Since Quetzalcoatl's "Pale Fire" put the witch's soul and body into decay, she could no longer use the "Magic Mirror" to graze, so Abner just recovered her extraordinary characteristics from under her white robe.

"Hmm... This white robe also seems to be an extraordinary item... Can it change the wearer's figure?

"Xio might like it... No, this dress is a bit revealing... It would be inappropriate to give it to her...

"Maybe we can remodel it first?"

Abner picked up the white robe with a simple shape but translucent material and looked at it for a few times, then turned his attention to the three items in the bones.

It was a clutch, a mirror and a card.

The mirror is just an ordinary mirror. It should be a prop used by the witch to use "substitution" and "mirror travel". It is of no use to Abner.

Opening the handbag, there were some cosmetics and ritual materials with different functions inside. Except for a pair of monocles that looked subtle in Abner's mind, there was nothing special about them.

Abner "analyzed" the glasses and found that they were made with the characteristics of the "Dream Stealer" and were originally supposed to be "alive", but they were naturally not immune to the "Pale Fire"...

Wearing it can see some "secrets" on the occult level and restore some hidden scenes... It should be an advanced application of the "Decryption Scholar" ability...

But the side effects are very serious...it actually causes the holder to gradually lose all memory and become a different person...

How dare Panatia carry it? Or is it that when it was "alive" before, the negative effects were not that serious?

By the way, the spirit before it was also Amon, right?

Abner didn't pay much attention to it. Anyway, it was completely dead at this moment. Before it was in Backlund, at this time, it did not dare to share information with the main body or other Amon.

Finally, Abner picked up the card again, and then Russell's "kind" face came into his eyes.

On the card, Russell is holding the scepter of the starry sky and passing through an illusory door.

This is a card of blasphemy, the "Gate" card!
