Mysteries: Arcana Wars

"Hello, Detective Mitchell, my name is Emlyn White. Since you are a patient related to a criminal case, we ask you to provide relevant information to prove your identity."

Anxious Leonard could only turn on the camera and quickly complete the verification process.

"Hello, Detective Mitchell. Miss Lightning, who was sent in for a bank robbery, is fine. She woke up not long after she was sent in that day. She didn't have any internal injuries, only a slight concussion and some abrasions. After observation and confirmation, she was discharged from the hospital that evening. There is no sign of recurrence of post-traumatic stress syndrome."

"Okay, thank you. I can't get in touch with Geraldine, so please let me know if she comes back for a follow-up visit."

Emlyn immediately became serious after hearing the news.

"Ok, no problem."

Geraldine...is she really missing?

A person who was under the special care of Sivellas Field, MI9, Earth Hospital and the Church of Darkness, a person who could get a first-class merit in the army, just lost contact like this? ?

Things started to go wrong.

Leonard rushed into the parade and ran in the direction where Klein disappeared.

"Merlin... Merlin... answer the phone! Goddess! If I had known I would have had another bug hanging on my body! No matter how small and unstable the range is, it's better than nothing!"

"Hello! Excuse me, did you see a magician who mixes retro and modern styles running by here? Yes, his name is Merlin Hermes!"

As he walked and asked, he happened to meet Mrs. Misty, whom he had met a few times.

"Merlin Hermes!" She bent down beautifully and raised her leg to point, "He said he was looking for something and ran in that direction!"

"Thank you ma'am!"

"It's okay, Steam is on top, I wish you happiness and joy!"

Leonard turned his head and sure enough, where the crowd disappeared, there was a familiar bunch of fake flowers bobbing on the hat.

Several spirits rushed out of Leonard's teeth and flew in the direction pointed by Mrs. Misty. Leonard also pushed through the crowd and rushed forward, occasionally not forgetting to find Klein's figure in the impressions of passers-by through brief dreams.

"Merlin! Merlin!"

Leonard was shouting, but Klein, who was several hundred meters away, did not respond at all. In the blink of an eye, he was surrounded by the parade and disappeared at the end of the street corner.

So Leonard could only chase after her under the guidance of the spirit, and he did not forget to call Gloria.

"Ma'am, have you seen Geraldine today? I can't get in touch with him today!"

"..."

"Goddess, she is out of touch!"

"okay, got it."

The call was hung up very decisively. Leonard was not willing to know any unnecessary information about Geraldine.

Good sense of confidentiality, but I could use a diviner.

After an annoying chase, Leonard finally found Crane in a small park.

"Merlin! Why are you here?"

Leonard ran over shouting, only to find that something was wrong.

Klein just stood there blankly under a tree, staring at the mud under his feet. He held an antique pocket watch in one hand and a simple cane in the other. He said nothing, like a tombstone stuck in the ground.

This bizarre scene set Leonard off with alarm bells. He slowly approached Klein and called out in a low voice.

"...Merlin, you..."

Before his hand could reach the other person's shoulder, Klein suddenly moved without warning, swinging his cane and hitting the dirt beneath his feet hard.

"who is it?"

Klein murmured in a language full of vowels, oblivious to the people around him.

Leonard couldn't understand this language with the style of the Western Continent, but he was very familiar with it. It should be the Roselle language that Klein occasionally spoke in the Sixth Epoch.

He went forward to see what Klein had found, but he saw nothing but dirt, grass, and fallen leaves under Klein's feet.

"who are you?"

The force of the cane falling down became heavier each time, and mud and grass leaves flew everywhere. The bare brown ground was exposed, and a small pit gradually appeared. However, Klein's movements showed paranoia and madness.

"who are you?"

One, two, three... No, that's too slow!

The cane fell again, and Klein used the gray mist to reshape it into a shovel. With one shovel, a full mass of black soil was brought out. Klein's movements became even faster.

"You hide here, you hide there, you hide beneath this world, and you are watching me..."

Crane began to raise his voice, and mud splashed on his trouser legs, but he continued to dig tirelessly.

“…Who is it…Who is it…Who is it…”

Leonard didn't understand what Klein was muttering, but his expression suddenly changed. He could feel a filthy force leaking out from the pit. It was a powerful evil spirit that was wrapping something under the deep pit.

This... there is a seal underneath!

"Who are you under this?!"

Klein growled, raised his shovel and struck down with all his strength!

boom!

It was not the muffled sound of the shovel sinking into the mud, but the crisp sound of metal hitting stone!

With a flash of red light, the sealed cage with chains of filth and evil could not withstand the difference in status, and a big hole was poked by the shovel condensed from the gray fog!

There seems to be someone in here!

Seeing the strange hole in the seal, Klein suddenly regained half consciousness, but it was as if all his strength was drained away. He fell to the ground and stared blankly at the hole in front of him that he had dug.

Seeing this, Leonard quickly took the shovel and continued digging. With the joint efforts of Ling, the progress was rapid.

Looking at Leonard digging hard in front of him, Klein, who was slumped on the ground, slowly took out the box of black matches, stared at the four large Russell characters on the sparks for a long time, then gently opened the box and took out a match.

But as soon as the black match left the box, Klein stopped and put the match back. After thinking it over, he picked up the match again.

After hesitating for a long time, Klein finally made up his mind, struck a match of nothingness, and threw it towards the pit in front of him.

The small match fell into the pit with a black flame tail, and a thick black smoke rose up immediately. Under the double attack of the gray fog and the matches, the evil in the pit was completely eliminated.

Leonard immediately moved away, and waited until the smoke and dust cleared before carefully looking into the pit. In the damp, dark soil, a festering red human figure could be vaguely seen.

"Under this... is Olga Axus!"

Leonard exclaimed.

Olga's red dress had been stained with blood and dirt into a faintly reddish black. The originally delicate dress was riddled with holes, and the soft fabric had begun to harden. Under the tattered dress was Olga's festering skin. The black sores completely distorted her graceful figure. Dried blood and pus were still hanging on the black sores, emitting a strong smell of corruption.

There was no breath of life, only the remains of a broken soul. This unfortunate lady had been dead for a long time.

"Sure enough, Olga is dead..."

Leonard sighed.

"No, that's not right..."

Klein finally switched back to Loenese and looked up at the sky. As the seal was broken, several fragile spiritual threads struggled to float out of the pit.

"Olga Axas is alive!"
