Chapter 164 Joy
"Fry, come to the steam train station. Leonard... has died."

After Dunn informed Frye, the "corpse collector" at the Blackthorn Security Company, in his dream, he squatted beside Leonard dejectedly. He saw that although the "midnight poet" was pale due to blood loss, there was a hint of smile on the corner of his mouth...

There was no evil or foul smell left at the scene. Could it be that this was not an evil god ritual? This meant that Leonard's Beyonder characteristics were not contaminated...

Dunn stroked Leonard's forehead, his expression becoming more determined, and he said to himself: "Leonard... come on, let's... avenge you... together... to protect Tingen..."

Then he took out the only characteristic he found at the scene. Leonard was the only dead Beyonder here, so this must be his characteristic... and Dunn felt that this characteristic had an indescribable attraction to him... just like the "Nightmare" potion that was placed in front of him many years ago...

"Alas, I am an incompetent captain... I have put you in danger time and time again... The same goes for Teke Town, who actually asked you to face the divine incarnation of the 'Hidden Sage'..." Dunn laughed at himself while arranging a simple ceremony. This was one of the options given to him by the Holy Temple... to consume the characteristics of his teammates and let them survive in another way.

"Little It, Adelaide, Dawn... It's a pity that Old Neil is a 'secret peeper' and has been contaminated by the evil god... Come and meet Leonard." Dunn took this somewhat strange feature without hesitation...

Suddenly, Dunn Smith felt extremely hot, which was completely different from the feeling he had when he drank the potion and consumed his teammates' characteristics! This time... on his chest...

With a loud bang, his already severely receding hairline suddenly moved forward, and then his hair grew wildly! Growing longer! Dunn Smith had a head of hair that all men envied! The hair even dragged on the ground and continued to grow wildly! This area seemed to have turned into a primeval forest made up of fine hair!
Dunn already felt something was wrong, but his will was trying hard to fight against the crazy tendency and he couldn't pay attention to anything else!

Suddenly, Dunn, who was almost defeated, became clear-headed, as if some force had pulled him back... this force pulled him back from the edge of losing control!

The next moment, all the black hair on the ground was quickly retracted, revealing a gorgeous woman with long straight black hair, delicate features, deep grey eyes, wearing a long black trench coat with a vest and shirt pushed up high...

She was stunned, her brows were slightly furrowed, but she looked delicate... I felt sorry for her...

Her hands were shaking, and she touched her chest as if possessed by a ghost... Her face turned red and she quickly put it down. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure out what was going on!
She closed her eyes and found that the ability of "Nightmare" could still be used, but she had a lot of other abilities! For example, "making spider silk", "mirror substitute", "black flame", "ice", "curse", and most importantly... natural charm.

Even with Dunn's experience, he couldn't help but start to panic. Was this... something he ate wrong?

"Witch Cult? Could it be that the trait just now was not Leonard's, but came from a witch?! Similar to Triss? Gender switching... But where did Leonard's trait go? Was it taken away by someone?

"The murderer took away Leonard's extraordinary characteristics! This is a clue... But why was the characteristics of a witch left behind? According to the knowledge in my mind, this is the Sequence 6 'Pleasure Witch'... This name is a bit ominous...

"Intentionally? Intentionally let me take it? But how would the enemy know that I have this ritual? And why didn't I lose control? Wouldn't it be inevitable to lose control if I took the potion in other ways?"

Countless questions flooded Dunn's mind, most of which could not be answered...

……

Old Blue was quite satisfied with Peiman's performance. She was quick to react, a little clever, and at the same time, a bit crazy... so crazy that she could pray to the craziest god... Of course, that was what she thought was a prayer. In fact, she was just using the Loen language and had no way of getting in touch with the real creator... The "call" was connected to Old Blue through the means reserved in advance. Old Blue disguised himself as the evil god through the huge cross in the "Chaos Puddle". Although his power was not enough, it was easy for him to kill Madam Sharon.

Old Blue saw at a glance that Leonard was actually fine, and the ice spear didn't penetrate any of Leonard's vital organs! It seems that Grandpa Pales saw through a series of coincidences that someone was targeting Leonard... Rather than facing an increasingly outrageous arrangement, it's better to fake his death and get away!

So Old Blue gave Peiman the oracle of "dancing"... In fact, he was also conveying his goodwill... Of course, it didn't matter how the other party understood it.

Then Old Blue started traveling through the spirit world and left Tingen. He missed all the excitement that followed. Otherwise, he would have to get the best camera on the market... Well, it's too late now.

……

"Mr. Blue, the 'Lucky Team' has assembled. What do we need to do next?" Ikanser said with a smile. He had just thought of a solution and looked lovingly at Roy Wellington, who was closest to him and was ready to laugh at the joke... Well, the effect was very good. The Storm's deacon was scared away, and his teammates... at least they were no longer so repulsive to him.

“Just call me Old Blue,” Old Blue stroked his chin. Tingen had just finished a strange incident, and the news of Leonard’s death would probably reach Backlund soon. The Church of Evernight would definitely send elites to investigate… Klein, as a Beyonder from Tingen, might also participate in the investigation… Then, he would take this opportunity to deal with Lanevus, and then return to Tingen to stay at home! Stay at home until the finale! That’s it!

"You introduced Arrodes. He said that you can get the answers to all questions just by answering them. So, Deacon Ikanser, do you think Arrodes can directly locate Lanevus's position?"

Squeak.

The sound of chairs being moved was heard, and Conse and Klein quietly moved away from the mirror. Xio and Fors had strange expressions on their faces. Wasn’t the social death before enough?

"Ah..." Ikanser smiled. The Steam Church asked him to participate in the investigation because of "Arrodes"! Steam had missed a major event in Backlund before, and this time it would definitely become the focus of everyone! He immediately replied:

"Roselle once said: Wise men always agree on a matter. I also think we can ask '2-111' directly, which will save us a lot of effort..."

Seeing everyone's evasive looks and movements, Ikanser gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll ask!"

Fors couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Ikanser... Deacon, you can actually ask alone in the room... alone, so that your privacy won't be exposed..."

"...Alas, Arrodes's requirement is that there must be someone watching. Thank you, Ms. Wall, you have a kind heart." Ikanser sighed, picked up the silver mirror with a firm expression, and started a new round of social death challenge.
