Chapter 105 Murder to Silence
Zilingus's idea is excellent.
He first passed through a park, then through a forest and an artificial lake, then faked jumping into the Tasok River, and finally blended into the bustling Hillston district of Backlund.
However, as soon as he stepped into the forest, he was surrounded by a group of huge humanoid skeletons.
Hundreds of skeletal giants stared at Qilingus, all extending their arms. An indescribable chill enveloped Qilingus's entire body, and his life was extinguished like a candle flame in the wind.
When Xia'er arrived, she saw a completely dismembered corpse. Between the rotting flesh and the stark white bones, a blue light shimmered, which was the extraordinary characteristic of a Sequence 6 Sea-Cherisher.
He waved his hand, and the shadows on the ground swirled, enveloping the emerging Sea Clan's characteristics and a hollow, lifeless eyeball that had fallen to the ground. The center of the eyeball seemed to be enveloped by a raging wind, and the characteristics combined with the body tissue to become a sealed item.
"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early."
Chael hung the "Eye of the Wind's Chosen" around his waist, and then the shadow beneath his feet seemed to come alive, transforming into a special shadow servant that used the skeleton on the ground as support and the rotten flesh on the ground as clothes to "dress" it up.
The fact that "Son of Death" Azik Eggers was able to help take down "Hurricane Admiral" saved Shael the trouble of donning a hood and transforming into a Shadow Hunter.
It's not impossible to bait out skills, exploit vision barriers, use stealth to instantly kill Hurricane General.
But that kind of mission report to the Church of the Night would be difficult to write.
Now, it's much easier to write a report if you're picking up a body.
Chael turned, and with his entourage, disappeared into the shadows, returning to the Church of St. Samuel to submit the quest.
Being a freeloader is nothing to be ashamed of, since you've gotten a good deal.
One minute after Chael.
The "Singer of God" once again brought a whirlwind to this artificial amber.
The crimson glow was reflected in his eyes, and the scene that had just occurred began to replay on the surface of the water.
The rewind of the scene was blocked by a cold, sinister force.
This Storm Bro could only deduce that a high-sequence Death Path cultivator had ambushed Qilingus here!
It is very likely that Zilingus's body was also taken away by the other side's men.
Alger rushed over and, seeing the archbishop's solemn expression, his own heart sank.
Did they still let Zilingus escape?
"Are you sure you didn't tell anyone else?"
"The Singer of God" Ace Snake frowned as he looked at Alger.
"I'm sure, I reported the intelligence immediately."
Alger lowered his head somewhat fearfully, but inwardly cursed, "If it weren't for this archbishop, who had nothing better to do..."
Why would he waste time taking a walk along the Tasok River?
Which important person wouldn't be staying in the church instead of wandering around the Tasok River like nothing's wrong?
"Zilingus was taken away by a high-sequence agent from a Death Path. Continue to investigate in this direction."
A silver glint flashed in Ace Snake's eyes. He recognized the high sequence of the Death Path, of course, but the aura didn't match at all. The reason why the other party would attack a "pirate admiral" was also very suspicious.
What is this to cover up? Or is it to silence witnesses?
High sequence of the Death Pathway?
Is it a spiritual cult?
Alger was somewhat puzzled as to when Zilingus had become acquainted with the Cult of Spirits, but he quickly nodded in agreement and said, "Let's continue the investigation. As long as there's even a sliver of hope, I don't want to give up so easily."
"Zilingus may be dead. If we can find his body, we might be able to learn more."
The "Singer of God" observed that Alger truly regretted Qilingus's "escape," and that's why he told Alger...
News of Ziringus' possible death.
Alger's pupils contracted. How could anyone pinpoint Zilingus's location so precisely?
Miss Justice's information isn't known only to herself?
Could it be an "angel"?
This high-sequence powerhouse of the Death Path...
Mr. Hanged Man was somewhat uncertain.
A lounge at the Duke of Negan’s residence.
Audrey was waiting for news with her mother and brother.
As Earl Hall returned, Lady Catherine asked her husband:
"How is Duke Negan's injury?"
"Fortunately, it wasn't a fatal wound. Duke Nigan is a powerful Extraordinary being, and the Storm Church has considerable experience in treating wounds inflicted by 'Wind-Chosen'."
Count Hall brought some fairly good news.
"Father, I actually noticed something was off about Baron Gramir, but I wasn't sure at the time..."
Audrey looked at Earl Hall with some regret and said.
She could have told her father about her doubts, but because of her interactions with angels at the Tarot readings, she developed some insecurity about this unusual situation.
In the end, she still regarded herself as an ordinary noble lady, and did not voice her doubts, but waited for Mr. Fool's confirmation and support.
"Audrey, you don't need to blame yourself. This is not your fault. It's already quite remarkable that you were able to sneak in without being seen by those extraordinary beings.
Earl Hall himself did think so; it was already remarkable that his daughter could detect some clues in advance, and it was normal that she couldn't be sure.
Who would have thought that a pirate general would infiltrate a noble gathering and even attempt to assassinate a great figure like Duke Negan?
Earl Hall wanted to say a few more words to comfort his daughter when a man in a black trench coat knocked on the door and came in, whispering a few words in his ear.
Earl Hall was initially enlightened, but then became somewhat puzzled; the matter was still difficult to explain.
"Dad, what happened?"
Audrey felt that her father's expression was full of stories.
"Zilingus's body has been found by the extraordinary beings of the Church of the Night."
Earl Hall said to his family.
"A corpse?"
Earl Hall's eldest son, Hilbert, asked in return, somewhat puzzled.
"Yes, we don't know who the murderer is yet. All we know is that a passing member of the Church of the Night happened to discover the body of Zilingus that had been carelessly discarded."
Earl Hall was also somewhat helpless.
Hurricane General Good Year was a somewhat famous extraordinary individual. He had already escaped, but he died as if he were a stray dog on the roadside. The timing was also perfect, just in time for Qilingus's failed assassination attempt and his subsequent escape.
The other party's actions felt somewhat like murder to silence witnesses, as if they were casually retrieving a pawn that had lost its usefulness.
If that's the case, then the assassination attempt on Duke Negan might not be so simple.
"Perhaps the church can uncover the truth."
Hilbert analyzed the situation with a calm demeanor.
Because of his poor performance during the previous chaos, he now wants to salvage his image in his father's eyes.
He knew that the Church of the Night had the ability to make the dead speak.
"Disaster."
Earl Hall shook his head. He had no dissatisfaction with his eldest son's performance; panic was a normal reaction. He simply explained patiently.
"If a corpse would expose a secret, that terrifying extraordinary being, or some clandestine organization, would not have left a corpse at all."
"Their plan was very meticulous. Zillingus's death was probably planned long ago, regardless of whether his assassination was successful."
Based on his own experience, Earl Hall made a fairly accurate judgment.
