Chapter 1109: Daoist Sect Invasion?

“Klein?”

Dunn was slightly taken aback, but his reaction was swift. He followed the direction of the delayed gaze and immediately understood what was happening when he spotted the figure slowly approaching from the end of the street.

Without any hesitation or doubt, the captain turned and headed to the corridor. In a tone that allowed no argument, he said in a deep voice, “You go inform Leonard and the others; I’ll head to the Chains Gate first…”

Klein was momentarily stunned, but he quickly understood and nodded vigorously.

The Chains Gate was named after Archbishop Charnis and held a crucial position in the strategic layout of the Night Church.

Under the central cathedral of every major city, there was one. It was guarded by official members of the Night Watcher in rotation, with at least two “Watchers” from within the church volunteering to take part, supported by countless traps. This was to assist in sealing Saint’s Ashes imbued with the extraordinary traits of a High Sequence person, and it couldn’t be approached casually, or one risked being eroded by the core seal.

Inside, it was divided into several areas, containing magic potion formulas of certain sequences, various miraculous materials, and sealed objects.

It could also temporarily imprison heretics, anomalies, cultists, and members of secret organizations.

It was a crucial secret vault of the Night Church, serving as both an arsenal for storing powerful miraculous items and a temporary jail. Klein understood this clearly and immediately grasped the captain’s intent.

Next, it might truly be a time to fight for their lives…

In the final moment of following the captain, he instinctively glanced back out the window and noticed that the terrifying figure was even closer now.

She was so indifferent, without a hint of expression…

Her gaze was like a hunter staring at prey, unchanging yet intensely aggressive, just staring straight over here…

……

Meanwhile, on the empty street outside.

Miss Xianyu, the writer, was walking forward step by step, her face tense and eyes straight ahead, feeling deathly anxious inside.

It was so quiet here, and there were hardly any people on the street… She felt very uneasy, always expecting some assassin might suddenly attack her with swift, unpredictable movements. Thus, her whole body was taut, and she dared not glance around, much like a girl who walked home alone after watching a horror movie, terrified but forcing herself to keep going.

Being away from the crowd made her extremely nervous…

She wondered if she had taken the wrong path; was this really Zotlan Street…

Why was there no one here; this place was so quiet and secluded, it looked like a place suitable for murder and disposing of bodies…

As she walked, Miss Fors couldn’t help but feel her legs go weak. Mainly because this street was just too quiet, making her already fragile sense of security weaken further, with her mind conjuring up various terrifying images as she walked.

Just then, she suddenly heard a footstep sound behind her without any warning, as if someone was approaching.

“…!!”

Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Miss Xianyu writer reflexively spun around.

Unexpectedly, what met her eyes was a slender and graceful silhouette.

That figure wore a lotus leaf hat and a loose dress, with long blond hair and emerald green eyes. The melancholic and serene demeanor added to the charm, making her quite an attractive beauty. Furthermore, the pronounced bulge of her belly suggested that this beautiful woman was already a pregnant mother-to-be, a discovery that made Fors momentarily pause.

Similarly, she subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

Given Miss Xianyu’s lack of experience, she instinctively thought that if there were any dangerous enemies targeting her, they probably wouldn’t send a pregnant woman.

Great, as long as it’s not a threat.

……

……

——Meanwhile.

——In the Tingen outskirts, in front of a house with a red chimney.

“Are you saying you have a mission to assign to me?”

Shire widened his eyes, seemingly in disbelief as he looked at the elderly gentleman before him.

He had just failed to find anything here. When he found this house, it had long been vacated, and he was quite unhappy, ready to continue his search when unexpectedly, an elderly gentleman approached out of nowhere. Moreover, the gentleman started by saying he had a mission to assign to him, which was quite unexpected.

“Yes, Mr. Shire, it is a mission specifically assigned to you… I am merely passing on an oracle, please understand.” Mr. Neil said respectfully, his demeanor neither humble nor overbearing since he didn’t know the true identity of the person before him. Nonetheless, there was still a trace of emotion in the elderly gentleman’s heart, knowing that from this moment on, he could no longer return to the past.

After all, espionage is about decades of latent lurking, activated only for that brief moment of use, and once activated, the possibility of continued lurking naturally disappears.

Even though he was psychologically prepared, at this moment, he still felt an intense sense of reluctance deep in his heart.

Mr. Neil truly loved Tingen, the Night Church, the Blackthorn Security Company, and the days spent among the Night Watchers. Dunn, Leonard, Roshan, they were all young people he couldn’t help but worry about, and even Klein, who had recently joined the team, was quite likable… Unfortunately, every offering from fate comes with a hidden price tag.

Across from him, Shire furrowed his brows. As a high-ranking Earth Angel, he saw right through the elderly gentleman in front of him. He was merely a Sequence 9 Secret Gazer, with nothing to hide or any particular features, saying nothing about possessing the dual-path characteristics unique to members of the Secret Ceremony Society, and not even having completely digested his own magic potion, appearing rather unstable.
