Chapter 112 If You Don’t Dare to Move, Then Starve (Sorry! It’s All My Fault!)
Dunn sat behind his desk, rubbed his temples, and said in a rare, somewhat tired tone:
"I'm sorry, Klein. It was my mistake. I forgot to approve your request. You probably can't take out the seal... Thank you for your hard work. You prepared the ritual materials and treated Cornelius as soon as possible... You made a very good choice. You are already a senior Nighthawk."

Klein sat on the chair opposite him and accepted Dunn's compliment. Then he asked in confusion:

"Captain, I don't quite understand why you went to Turk Town alone instead of asking for help from the Machine and Storm as you said before?"

Dunn was silent for a while, then replied:
"I assigned Leonard and Cornelius to do this mission. I really want to save them and don't want to waste even a second... You may not know that my dream-related abilities are not much worse than those of Sequence 6, so I am very confident that I can defeat the enemy... And Storm and Machinery, there are no Beyonders of higher sequences in Tingen.

"It turns out that I made another misjudgment. I didn't expect the enemy to be a powerful Sequence 5 Beyonder. Even if it was just her, we would have to send out a fully equipped team to fight her, not to mention the incarnation of the evil god later...

"Your divination clearly pointed out the danger, but I went anyway. Perhaps I lost my composure at that time."

Klein was stunned for a moment. Although he could accept Dunn's explanation, he still felt that something was wrong... Coincidence? Arrangement? Audience! With such a rigid arrangement, could it be that the mastermind finally couldn't sit still? The situation was finally out of his control! ? This was actually good news!

So, what was his purpose? Why did he attack the Nighthawks? Was it an enemy? Case files... maybe we could look for it in the old case files.

"You don't have to blame yourself too much. I was also very anxious at the time and wanted to save Leonard and the others as soon as possible. I also lost my calm judgment... I hope that in the future, we will not fall into the trap of the 'Hidden Sage' again." Klein said with a sincere expression and no abnormality.

Dunn nodded and said:
"I have sent a telegram to the Sanctuary, requesting support and asking them to take away the male bodyguard that Leonard captured. I believe that after the interrogation, we will get further information."

……

No. 32, Wildey Street, South of Backlund Bridge.

Old Blue stood in front of the house, stretched out his right palm, pointed at the door, and uttered a word in ancient Hermetic language in a majestic voice:

"Confinement!"

Silently, the house seemed to have undergone a subtle change. In addition to the physical walls, there was an extra layer of invisible walls. Outsiders could not enter without Old Blue's permission or by using extraordinary abilities to destroy it.

This is the ability of Sequence 6 "Judge" of the "Judge" pathway, which comes from Heras who was gifted to shepherd by the Shepherd.

"This house is ours now, Xiao Fu, and I am now considered one of the homeowners in Backlund." Old Blue put away his ability and smiled happily.

This is Abraham's property. The owner is the unlucky "apprentice" who was promoted in the "full moon". Now it has been marked with Old Blue's teleportation mark and used as a fixed teleportation point.

——Abraham had a large family and his scattered small families all had properties. Now they had lost contact with each other, and if this house was left unattended it would only attract more and more thieves.

"Yes, but I found a lot of unregistered land deeds in Kapin's place before. The locations are all good. Maybe you can pick one and live in it? It should be better than this haunted house..." Xiao Fu mentioned his contribution from time to time, just hoping to turn back into human form as soon as possible. "Those... there are quite a lot, and a lot of money, antiques and so on, but I dare not live in those... well, real 'haunted houses'." Old Blue said self-deprecatingly, "But I have to take them away. Leaving them will only serve as funds for the church and the military. Maybe I can use them to do something meaningful later. I hope so."

Xiao Fu was a little stunned. When the old man ate people, he didn't even blink, but now he is very cautious when using their money. It's hard to figure it out! It's hard to figure out. The old man's moral standards are sometimes high and sometimes low. Which one is real?

"Backlund, it's time to end this..." Old Blue took a step forward, holding a simple black cane.

……

Inside a house with stables and gardens in the Hillston area.

Dinner time is around 7:30 in the evening.

Qi Lingos's expression was grim. He hadn't given vent to his desires for a long time... Hmm? Only two or three days? Two or three days was already a long time!
He looked at the figure standing beside Baron Gramire. The second-class maid, who he originally thought was not very attractive, now seemed particularly attractive.

It's a pity... I can't move for the time being. This baron doesn't have many servants to begin with, and if a few of them suddenly disappear, something will go wrong in their lives. If the abnormality is noticed, the mission will fail and I'll be finished.

"You son of a bitch, you don't let me go out, but you send me women instead! Those old men and old women you send me late at night can only be eaten by the wriggling hunger!" Qi Lingos cursed and stuffed food into his mouth, trying to relieve other desires by satisfying his appetite, but it didn't work at all.

“Fuck! What do you mean it’s not easy to find out that an elderly person is missing… With so many people in Backlund, it’s no big deal if a few of them are missing!” Qi Lingos punched the dining table, causing it to make a loud noise. Baron Gramiel, who was standing next to him, was startled. When he realized what was happening, he cursed the maid who served the food, which also taught Qi Lingos a lot of aristocratic curses.

Suddenly, the door next to the restaurant opened, and an old man in a well-dressed suit came in. He had white hair and beard, deep wrinkles, and dull eyes, as if he was controlled by someone, and walked straight to the dining table.

“…Another old man!” Qi Lingos suppressed his rage, because he knew very well that even with the wriggling hunger, he could not resist the High-Sequence Powerhouse who was secretly controlling him. He said to the old man sitting next to him with some dissatisfaction:
"Why so early today? And can't you bring some young women next time? Before feeding the wriggling hunger, I can still..."

"..." Old Blue was silent. Qi Lingos was a bad guy, and the Psychological Alchemy Society that regularly delivered "nutrients" to Qi Lingos was even worse. The audience was high and mighty, with indifferent emotions. Did they really think they were gods? They played the role of the audience, but so many people just became "audiences" so indifferently...

"Your desire is very strong, which is why we chose you, but if the mission fails due to excessive desire, you know the consequences. We can take back everything you have obtained at any time." Old Blue had a stiff expression and an indifferent tone, just like an "audience".

"I will succeed! I have already received the invitation to the ball held by Duke Negan on September 9! With the plan you have made for me, no one can recognize me. I just need to launch a sneak attack..." Qi Lingos was a little annoyed. While explaining, he stretched out his left hand and placed it on the old man's shoulder. He didn't want to listen to these people anymore! It was either a threat or a temptation!

A crack appeared silently on the palm of the glove, and two rows of illusory, white teeth grew out of it, ready to devour the flesh and soul frantically. Suddenly, the two rows of teeth froze, and then quietly retracted.
