Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

#168 - Resolved the Apostle of Desire in advance

At this moment, inside Klein's living room, Great Detective Aysinger was heavily injured and unable to fight.

The female detective Kaslana, manipulated by the "Desire Apostle's" emotions, had unleashed all her strength in attacking Aysinger in a moment of outburst, and had also lost her ability to fight.

Only Klein and Mr. Gahr remained, and it was clear that they couldn't hold back the "Desire Apostle."

The "Desire Apostle" didn't waste the painstakingly created situation, and immediately came to the living room on the first floor. It was a pitch-black figure, like a person wrapped in a black curtain, with only a pair of cold blue eyes exposed.

Upon seeing him, Klein and Audis seemed to see the most intense emotions and desires of living beings: fear, anger, greed, jealousy, hunger, lust, and so on.

Audis, who hadn't expressed much opinion and had been trying to control his thoughts to avoid wild speculations, suddenly stepped forward and quickly took out the newly acquired grape leaf that emitted a pure light.

After seeing the cold blue eyes turn to fear, Audis knew that the knowledge he had obtained from the "Knowledge Wilderness" was accurate.

The item in his hand was a strong counter to "Demons."

Therefore, before the "Desire Apostle" could escape, Audis suddenly raised the grape leaf high and injected his spirituality into it to the maximum extent.

Buzz ~

Pure white light instantly spread throughout the living room, and these rays seemed to have substance, causing Klein and the others to hear a soft "buzzing" sound in their ears.

Audis was bathed in the pure white light, making him look very dazzling and sacred.

The moment Audis took out the grape leaf, the "Desire Apostle's" body rapidly collapsed, turning into a viscous liquid, and he turned to flee towards the window.

But when the pure white light filled the entire living room, the "Desire Apostle's" speed seemed to be greatly restricted, and he suddenly slowed down.

The black liquid also gradually solidified, turning back into a human form.

The black figure let out a hissing sound, struggling to crawl towards the window.

At this moment, a pure white, somewhat illusory longsword formed in the middle of the living room.

Under Audis's control, the longsword fell and pierced the "Desire Apostle's" back, pinning him to the ground.

The "Desire Apostle" roared, sometimes turning into a liquid, sometimes into a demon with two goat horns, covered in complex mystical symbols, and with a pair of wings, and sometimes into a phantom shadow.

But no matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free from the pure white sword.

Audis said to Klein and the others with some difficulty: "Quickly notify the official Beyonders, I can't hold on for much longer."

Although the "Grape Leaf" in his hand restrained "Demons," it required a lot of spirituality to maintain. Audis felt that his own spirituality could only last for ten seconds.

Only then did Klein and Aysinger come back to their senses. Klein quickly placed his hand on the wound on Aysinger's back and then smeared it, transferring the spinal fracture to a rib.

This was the most magical Beyonder ability of the "Magician": Injury Transfer.

When Klein saw Aysinger injured, he had already thought of a countermeasure: first pretend to be helpless to lure the "Desire Apostle" to show himself, then transfer Aysinger's injury, so that he, Aysinger, and Mr. Gahr could delay the "Desire Apostle" for a while.

However, Klein didn't expect Mr. Gahr to be so fierce, holding back the "Desire Apostle" all by himself.

Almost at the same time, a vibrant green glow appeared on Aysinger's ring, and his body was quickly shrouded in a faint light, allowing his wounds to heal rapidly.

This made both of them stunned for a moment, and they spoke almost simultaneously: "You can heal?"

Then they quickly realized that this was not the time to care about this. When Aysinger was attacked just now, the miniature "telegraph" of the horn in his hand flew to the wall.

Using the agility of the "Clown," Klein somersaulted to the "telegraph" and grabbed this Sealed Artifact, throwing it to Aysinger.

The reason for doing this was because Aysinger hadn't mentioned the negative effects of the "telegraph," and he didn't dare to use it casually.

Aysinger, whose wounds had healed, grabbed the "telegraph" and immediately injected spirituality into it: "He's in Sherlock's living room!"

Echoes seemed to appear around: "He's in Sherlock's living room..."

Everyone within five kilometers heard this sentence.

Immediately afterward, Aysinger sat down in the corner of the wall, and the ring on his hand flashed with golden light. The great detective's ears suddenly closed on their own.

The negative effect of this "transmitter" was: for a period of time after use, all sounds within five kilometers would also enter the user's ears.

Although Aysinger simulated a Beyonder ability to "hypnotize" himself, making him think he was deaf.

But he still heard the noisy voices: "Go to support, in the living room!"

"Whose voice was that just now?"

"The bread has gone up again..."

"Release the seal on 2-115!"

"Honey, we don't have enough money to go to Desi for vacation this year..."

"The Third Squad, which is closest to that location, full speed ahead!"

"Who is in Sherlock's living room?"

"Oh, it's time to pay tuition again..."

"What? Coal has gone up another quarter of a penny? Oh my god, how are we going to get through this winter?"

"..."

The noisy voices made Aysinger work hard to fight against his own irritability, lest his state deteriorate.

The "Desire Apostle," struggling on the ground, sensed an opportunity. Two goat horns reappeared on his head, and his body suddenly grew to about three meters, covered with mysterious symbols and patterns, and a pair of bat-like wings grew on his back.

Whoosh ~

The goat horns on the "Desire Apostle's" head burned, using the method of burning his own potential to resist the surrounding pure white light.

That "Grape Leaf" was indeed very restraining to demons, but Audis, who used the "Grape Leaf," was only Sequence 7, and his own spirituality was limited. Currently, he could only trap the "Desire Apostle" and suppress his own abilities.

This was already the limit that Audis could currently achieve.

The "Desire Apostle," who was two sequences higher, was now fighting for his life and finally found a "gap" in the pure white light, detonating Aysinger's irritable emotions at this time.

The wisdom in the great detective's eyes suddenly disappeared, and he glanced at "Mr. Gahr," who was currently exerting all his strength, with a somewhat empty gaze, and raised his right hand wearing the gemstone ring.

The gemstone ring emitted a black light, and an evil force attacked Audis's shadow.

This attack was not only aimed at the shadow, but as long as the shadow was injured, Audis, who was currently defenseless, would also be severely injured.

Klein, who noticed all of this, injected his spirituality into the "Sun Brooch" and made a gesture of embracing the sun.

Suddenly, a thick beam of light fell between Aysinger and Audis, and the evil aura disappeared instantly.

Klein's use of the "Sun Brooch" was also equivalent to exposing himself in front of Aysinger, because he had bought this Sealed Artifact from the old gentleman of the "Eye of Wisdom," that is, the great detective Aysinger.

But he couldn't care so much at this time, as long as he could delay the "Desire Apostle" for a few more seconds, just a few seconds!

Aysinger, who was sitting on the ground, immediately regained his clarity and wisdom. He seemed to realize what he had just done and quickly took off the ring.

At this time, Stuart and the others outside saw white light flashing in the living room for a while, then sunlight, as well as roars and shouts.

They thought that the "mastermind" was attacking the living room, so they immediately drew their guns and rushed in.

As soon as the door opened, they were all stunned. The living room had a soft, pure white light, which immediately reminded people of some of the purest and kindest people and things.

Then they saw the person next to the sofa, bathed in the sacred light, his mask and black trench coat seemed to have become very sacred.

And the behemoth struggling on the ground, was that a demon? Goat horns, a pair of wings, yes, that was some legendary demon image.

Finally, they saw Detective Sherlock, who was on guard, and Great Detective Aysinger, who was sitting on the ground, and Female Detective Kaslana, who was lying on the ground.

Without exception, all eyes were on Audis!

Suddenly, the eyes of two detectives became distracted and aimed their guns at Audis.

Their surprised emotions were used by the "Desire Apostle" on the ground.

Sensing all of this, Klein bent down and flipped over a single sofa, smashing it towards the detectives.

The detectives who were not affected by the "Desire Apostle" quickly dodged, while the two detectives who were affected had not had time to shoot at Audis, and were blocked by the sofa and knocked to the ground.

Klein stepped forward and quickly closed the door of the living room.

At this time, the pure white light in the living room suddenly dimmed, and the sword nailed to the "Desire Apostle's" heart also quickly shrank.

The next second, Audis slumped to the ground, holding the "Grape Leaf" with trembling hands.

His spirituality was basically exhausted, as if he had run out of strength, and he didn't even want to move a finger.

Klein rushed over, staring at the "Desire Apostle" to protect the weak "Mr. Gahr."

The "Desire Apostle" struggled to get up, and a light blue flame emitting a sulfurous smell suddenly ignited in his chest.

However, the wound showed no signs of healing and continued to bleed dark red blood with a sulfurous odor.

At the same time, the "Desire Apostle," in a "demonized" state, had rushed to the window.

Crash ~

He couldn't care less about his injuries at this point. He smashed open the window and jumped out, fleeing as fast as he could.

However, the pure white longsword from before had greatly weakened the 'Apostle of Desire's' power. He was temporarily unable to transform into the 'incarnation of desire,' that is, the viscous black liquid form.

He could only escape in his 'demonized' form. Klein agilely jumped out of the window, and at his current speed, he was actually able to keep up, neither too far nor too close.

Having followed for only a few steps, Klein saw the demon ahead suddenly slow down and start snoring, having fallen asleep standing up!

Klein breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the official Beyonders' support had arrived. So he stopped chasing, watching the battle while retreating back into the living room.

Bang!

Captain Ikanos, whom Klein had seen before, appeared in front of the 'Apostle of Desire.' The classic flintlock pistol in his hand fired a pure white bullet.

The bullet struck the 'Apostle of Desire's' head, blowing away half of it.

The intense pain caused the 'Apostle of Desire' to stop snoring. He trembled all over, struggling violently as if he was about to wake up in the next second.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in military uniform appeared at the corner of the street. He raised a hand: "Waking up is prohibited here!"

The struggling 'Apostle of Desire' lowered his head again and started snoring.

More and more official Beyonders arrived, blocking both ends of the street.

Klein also breathed a sigh of relief. There was absolutely no way for the 'Apostle of Desire' to escape this time.

Ikanos put away his flintlock pistol and said to his subordinates, "Give me 2-115."

A captain handed Ikanos a golden metal gauntlet, which Ikanos put on with the help of his subordinate.

Then, this high-ranking deacon and captain of the 'Machinery Hivemind' emitted a dawn-like glow around his body.

Ikanos took a second or two to gather his strength, then suddenly strode forward, raised his hands, and shouted, "Ha!"

A huge and heavy 'Sword of Dawn' appeared in his hands, and he slashed it fiercely at the 'Apostle of Desire.'

The great sense of crisis caused the 'Apostle of Desire' to show signs of waking up again, but the high-ranking deacon of the 'Nighthawks' in the darkness of the street was working hard to engage him in a tug-of-war.

The military's 'Punishment Knight's' 'Prohibition' was still effective.

Therefore, although the 'Apostle of Desire' struggled hard, he failed to wake up when the 'Sword of Dawn' cut his head in half.

Ikanos continued to exert force, completely cutting the 'Apostle of Desire' in half!

Klein turned to Odyss and the others and said, "The 'Apostle of Desire' is dead."

Odyss smiled. With so many people lying in wait outside, it would have been truly unreasonable if he hadn't died.

He slowly sat down on the sofa, placed the 'Grape Leaf' into the 'Space Array,' folded the array, and put it into his pocket.

After doing all this, Odyss seemed to have used up all his strength, collapsing on the sofa and not wanting to move at all.

From becoming a Beyonder until now, it seemed that he had never experienced a state where his spirituality was basically exhausted. Just one more second would have seriously affected his state, and there would even have been signs of losing control.

At the same time, through the use of that 'Grape Leaf,' he roughly understood that this thing, which seemed like a mystical item, should actually be a very peculiar spiritual material.

Because there were no Beyonder characteristics in the 'Grape Leaf,' it could only be used three times. It had already been used once today, and it could be used twice more.

Just at this moment, the doorbell rang. The police came to the door to inform the detectives outside that the 'mastermind' had been killed, and they could safely go home.

However, because they had just witnessed the battle of Odyss and the others, according to their faith, the corresponding official Beyonders would sign a confidentiality agreement with them.

At the same time, Captain Ikanos appeared at the window: "Thanks to you for holding up the 'Apostle of Desire' for so long… Huh, what are you doing here?"

This captain was asking Odyss. It was very surprising to him that 'Mr. Gahr' was here.
