Evan Burns raised his head from the scroll and looked out the window doubtfully...
It gets dark incredibly quickly.
The Eye of Annihilation quickly cut the palm of his left hand with a ceremonial knife, and bright red blood dripped on the floor of the room.
The wooden floor was like a sponge, quickly absorbing Ivan's blood.
The runes composed of blood stains rose all the way up, activating the mysterious heritage "Crow's Nest" pocket watch embedded somewhere in the house——
This mysterious legacy that Ivan originally carried with him has been used as one of the protective hubs of the refuge.
Turning his right hand up, a pure white rune lit up on the palm of his hand, and the "Pigeon Cage" was also activated.
Outside the house, a flock of ravens and white doves took off, flying around the house, and their chirping was as noisy as raindrops.
Ivan closed his eyes, and a thunder-colored eye of secrets appeared above the house, with thunder leaping in it...
Activating the shelter mechanism, Eye of Annihilation took less than three seconds.
However, when the Blue Eyes of Thunder opened, his heart trembled because he saw the scene outdoors——
The thick black ball screen completely enveloped his cabin.
"Who is it?" Feeling the unfathomable pressure, Yi Wen's mind raced and he thought of many possibilities.
It is possible to barely defend against the King-level birds and the Eye of Blue Thunder, but facing an enemy of this level...
Before the flash of thought was over, he saw that the inside of the black ball was like a wave, swallowing up his flock of birds in an instant.
It's like the thick black oil on the sea comes to life, preying on seabirds that fly by.
The originally loud chirping sound suddenly became quiet after a whimper.
Cold sweat instantly soaked his back. Ivan watched helplessly as the black ball's smoky texture shrank tighter and tighter. He didn't know where the enemy's body was. The eyes of blue thunder radiated thunder in vain. It was just like throwing stones into a lake. He was shocked. Apart from making some waves, it has no effect at all.
The black dome pressed down, swallowing up the Eye of Mystery. Inside the house, Ivan squatted on the ground covering his left eye that was filled with black smoke.
He felt a clear aura, and suddenly raised his head, sweating profusely, and looked in the direction of the door.
The black wind howled and knocked open his door.
In the deep darkness, Ivan saw a pure white space. In that pure white space, there was a thin figure walking slowly.
"Who are you..." Ivan's spiritual power was almost completely destroyed by the other party.
"Who are you!" Eye of Annihilation roared, obviously not intending to just surrender. He got up angrily and slammed the bases of his thumbs together.
A pair of palms faced each other like a giant bird spreading its wings.
Suddenly, a distant voice of singing and praying in a language as old as heaven and earth came from the room.
The shadow of a shaman with antlers appears in the campfire beating a tambourine with a thunderbird totem on it.
Ivan's palm lit up, as if it had become a passage to the world of thunder. A clear eagle chirped, and the raptor bloomed with thunder poured out from his palm, scorching everything in its path, and directly blasted towards the strange thing in the thick darkness. silhouette.
The thunderbird passed through the gate and disappeared into another world. When the eagle chirped again, it seemed as if it had swooped into the valley, becoming distant and ethereal.
Ivan struck a decisive blow and seemed to fly into the unfathomable world, never to look back.
The figure was holding a cane in one hand and holding the other behind his back.
He raised one hand and gestured toward the front.
Thick black cloud-like objects rushed in through the window and door openings like a flood, enveloping Evan Burns, and then took him away like an ebbing tide.
Then, the black clouds and mist suddenly dispersed, and everything ended in an instant like a dream.
The difference is that traces of anxiety were left in Ivan's home, and the owner of the house has disappeared.
The three people in Sean who witnessed the video recording showed varying degrees of surprise on their faces.
Yue Guang was stunned for a long time and then said, "Ivan was taken away?"
Sean didn't answer, but just raised a hand to signal to continue watching - the image was not over yet.
About a minute after the darkness dissipated, they saw their familiar companion walking back.
However, Yi Wen's temperament has completely changed when he returns at this moment.
He was still wearing gray-blue robes and a mask with flashing lightning, but he looked completely like a walking zombie.
Ivan stumbled into the house and used secret techniques to restore all the traces of the unequal battle. Then he sat numbly at the table and began to turn the scrolls of "Thunderbird Myth".
A moment later, a bolt of thunder rose from the scroll and struck him directly in the face.
The Eye of Annihilation mask flew backwards and shattered on the ground.
Ivan also collapsed on the chair and was silent again...
Then the image ends.
Sean looked at Ivan who had just died and gradually disappeared on the chair.
They stood in silence for a long time, and it took a long time before they came back to their senses.
Moonlight said in disbelief: "That person kidnapped Ivan and then controlled him to make him look like he died from studying?"
Sean lowered his head.
The death of his ruminating partner made him very uncomfortable, and even Olivia felt a heavy weight in her chest...
·
After checking Ivan's house again, Sean and his party found no more information about the attacker.
They had walked out of the oppressive cabin and were back outside again.
Without approaching the lake again, they stopped at what was obviously Ivan's woodchopping place, standing in the shade and looking at the lake illuminated by the afternoon sun.
The moonlight with mixed emotions in his heart could tell that Sean was in a very bad mood. He said with a gloomy face:
"...At least we already know that Ivan's death was not an accident."
Moonlight knew Sean's mood well.
Evan Burns was murdered.
This is enough to make people angry.
They had no intention of considering the fact that the opponent was obviously an Ace again.
Sean hadn't felt this way for a long time, a burning irritability.
Every time like this he wanted to have a cigarette, even though he had quit smoking for many years.
This feeling is somewhat familiar. When she was chasing Aaliya, she would feel this way every time her pursuit failed.
It took him a long time to calm down, and he looked at the moonlight with complicated eyes.
Moonlight shook her head, knowing what Sean was going to say: "Stop talking. We have to find a way to kill that son of a bitch."
Without saying another word, the group mounted their horses and left the cabin.
When we returned to Jungyer again, it was already approaching dusk. Sean and others did not have time to have dinner, so they went directly back to the branch office and found the Martyr of Truth.
On the way back, Sean and the three had already discussed clearly: in order to ensure that the secret would not be leaked, they would not tell anyone that Ivan was murdered, but would only continue with the statement "suspect is not an accident". Investigate further...
In this process, if anyone obstructs it, Sean will not be polite.
Once Sean expresses his suspicions, it becomes clear that Martyr doesn't have any different opinions - and it's never a bad thing to have someone willing to dig a little deeper. After all, there is still a missing Queen, and God knows if there is a deep pool of water behind it.
Although Sean and his party already knew the truth about Ivan's death, their investigation was not smooth.
There were no clues to the murder scene or the identity of the attacker.
They can only spread their thoughts and investigate from various strange places.
Among them is Jonyère’s strange midnight ritual.
Only by figuring out what Sean and Moonlight saw that night can they continue to stay in this town with peace of mind.
What's more, looking deeper into those seemingly unrelated angles, it may be possible to be connected with Ivan's death...
However, before returning, Sean and Moonlight still had some differences on whether to directly question the martyr about what happened that night.
Moonlight believes that the martyr, as a native, may have something to hide. They may even be put in danger as a result.
After Sean considered Moonlight's statement, he decided to ask straight to the point——
If he encounters concealment or resistance, he doesn't mind using some thunderous means.
After all, it is the duty of local official explorers to explain the behavior of the people in their jurisdiction.
Now he doesn't have much patience and grace anymore.
