In Elk Manor, Ebner and Daly were standing on a fake mountain in the garden, looking at the dense dark clouds in the north with solemn expressions.
In Backlund, when guests attended banquets and balls, leaving the hall and entering the garden wasn't considered rude. This was because strolling under the moon and blowing on the night breeze that carried the fragrance of flowers was a very classy matter. However, it often ant a rendezvous.
Of course, Ebner and Daly were not here for a date. It was because the lightning storm triggered by the 'punctual Cosmic Disaster' was too loud. Even though they were dozens of kiloters away, they could still feel the horror brought about by the 'Cosmic Disaster'.
As he was feeling uneasy, Ebner took the initiative to request Macht to take a walk in the garden. In reality, he wanted to find an empty spot to summon Cullen's ssenger and ask about the situation.
However, for so unknown reason, Daly followed him out. This made Macht's expression turn ambiguous.
As for Bishop Utravsky, he remained in the main residence. He appeared to be chatting with the senator, but in fact, he was using it to protect his family.
"The wandering natural spirits told that there are several Beyonders fighting in the north, but they don't dare to approach. They don't know the exact situation," Daly said with a slightly ethereal voice.
Ebner nodded when he heard that. He was thinking of a reason to send Daly away so that he could set up a ritual to summon Silika.
But at that mont, he suddenly felt vexed. All kinds of emotions and desires surged out of his mind. There was confusion, horror, regret, sadness, fear, and helplessness from witnessing the changes in Jane before and after. In short, most of them weren't positive emotions.
Just as Ebner was about to be controlled by the desire to vent his emotions, the Eye of Pure White suddenly activated. Through the suppression of his level, he found so rationality and cald down again.
Therefore, Ebner didn't hesitate to use his Machinery Hivemind. He temporarily blocked his excess emotions and desires before returning to normal.
And at this mont, the Eye of Pure White had also transmitted the "analysis" of the current situation to him.
"This is... the Church of Storms's 2-001? But isn't it able to absorb people's extre emotions? Can it also release disturbances?"
Ebner looked at the results of the "analysis" and frowned as he muttered to himself. Then, he analyzed,
Ray has always been seeking this Sealed Artifact... And its appearance here clearly shows its malice towards the people in the manor...
"Did Ray succeed? Is she here now?!"
Thinking of this, Ebner beca even more vigilant. Without hesitation, he took out the Solomon Gold Coin and wiped the blood off the portrait.
Following that, he looked at Daly who wasn't far away, hoping to seek help.
However, at this mont, the lady was not in a good state. Her consciousness was clearly not very clear. Her face revealed various expressions such as "inferiority", "fear", "self-abandonnt". Even when Ebner walked over, she stared at him with empty, blank eyes for a few seconds before throwing herself onto him, as if seeking warmth.
Ebner was naturally not one to take advantage of a lady. He held Daly with his hand and then simulated the Solar High Priest's "immune fear" ability.
Daly felt a warm power enter her body as though the sun shone brightly over her head. This feeling reminded her of a man—a man who always listened to her gently, a man who always stood by her side, a man who always helped her steadily, a man who would feel embarrassed when confronted with jokes involving both sexes, a man who accepted all of his teammates' flaws with a sincere attitude, a man who would be at a loss when she teased him again, a man who liked to hide his pain and sorrow in his heart When he ca across danger, he would be the first to step forward and cover his teammates behind him.
"Fear" and "anxiety" quickly faded from Madam Daly's mind as the man's image lit up her heart.
The lady's lips curved up a few seconds later, looking kind and beautiful... Her green eyes glowed brightly again as she smiled at Ebner.
"Detective Bryan, you are truly a reliable gentleman... I'm sure those tabloids aren't entirely baseless... You could have seduced if I hadn't been so old."
She was well aware of what had occurred previously, so she made light of it with sarcastic remarks. She, of course, conveyed her gratitude in a diplomatic manner.
"This is not the ti for a joke, Ma'am Daly. Also, just refer to as Ebner." Ebner breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had recovered. With the suspected Demoness lurking nearby, having a Necromancer ntor would greatly increase the odds of surviving.
"What is the situation?" When Daly heard that, her smile faded and she asked solemnly.
"Let's have a conversation while we walk!" Bishop Utravsky was on Ebner's mind, and he was terrified that sothing might happen to him. After all, his ntal issues were really significant, and he couldn't take the agony of intense emotions.
"I'm guessing that the Demoness of Agony obtained 2-001. This should be the isolation space created by the Sealed Artifact." On the way to the main residence, Ebner summarized his guess.
Although the Church of Storms hasn't inford of the specific information regarding a Grade 2 Sealed Artifact, the Nighthawks actually have so understanding of 2-001...
"Its appearance is that of a pupil-less eyeball. If the eyeball is placed between the eyebrows, it will create a unique space that can absorb extre emotions... And if it is placed in front of the chest, it will release the emotions that it has absorbed, causing people to fall into the violent outburst of emotions, unable to extricate themselves."
Daly, who barely managed to keep up with him, did not hide anything. In a few words, she shared what she knew with Ebner.
Ebner held his chin in his right hand as he walked.
Among the Beyonders who fought in the north, one of them should be the Demoness of Agony... Even if she succeeded, she shouldn't have stopped so close... Unless she had no choice but to do so!
"Releasing extre emotions isn't her goal. It's probably just a ans... What does she want us to do with this thod? Or achieve so expectations?"
Daly closed her eyes and thought for a mont. Suddenly, she said, "I'm guessing that she's trying to give us' pain '!"
At this mont, Ebner had already arrived at the gate of the main residence. Upon hearing this, he stopped in his tracks and asked, "What do you an? Wasn't there pain in the emotions she released just now?"
"That's not the pain she 'created'... I'm guessing that she's in a very bad state and needs this thod to stabilize her condition," Daly said sowhat ambiguously. At the sa ti, she was very glad that the person she t when she was troubled by extre emotions was Ebner.
If... if you weren't such a gentleman just now, I'm afraid I'd have to go through another nightmare, much less face him... then the pain in my heart would be unimaginable.
Ebner naturally did not know what Daly was thinking, but he could roughly guess it. Therefore, he imdiately understood what she ant.
Acting?
Stabilizing her condition through "acting"? In that case, she might be on the brink of losing control. It was no wonder she didn't do it herself. She didn't even release the most basic "illness" of the Demoness of Agony.
A realization dawned on Ebner, but he didn't voice his speculation. He wasn't ready to let the Nighthawks know that he had mastered the acting thod. What if he was dragged off to touch his sword and swear?
As soon as they pushed open the door, Ebner and Daly felt a murderous aura. Looking around, they saw Bishop Utravsky standing in the middle of the hall. In his hand was a heavy and broad sword that seed to be condensed from light.
Seeing the two of them walk in, Bishop Utravsky struggled violently, but his face soon turned ferocious, and the hand holding the sword slowly lifted.
When Daly saw this scene, she imdiately opened her mouth and uttered a difficult and awkward language that no living being could understand.
This was the "Language of the Dead" of the Necromancer. It could bypass the protection of flesh and blood and target Spirit Bodies.
