Mystery: From Celestial Venerable's Backup to Red Priest

Chapter 70 Killing and Spirit Communication

In fact, Mrs. Sharon's fate was sealed the moment Klein reported her and exposed her identity.

No matter what, a Sequence 6 Beyonder couldn't possibly defeat three fully armed squads of Beyonders from the three churches, not to mention that the three churches had brought a considerable number of sealed artifacts.

It wasn't until Captain Gauss removed the seal on the isolation house and Captain Leo fired three bullets with his mystical steam lance that she realized she was completely surrounded.

Mrs. Sharon reacted quickly. At the moment the mirror in the bedroom shattered, when the spiritual warning was activated to its maximum, even Dunn Smith failed to pull her into the dream. She broke free from the dream, and her first reaction after breaking free was to open the safe and take out the treasured statue of the Primordial Witch.

But it was too late. Captain Leo's three shots were like three 'flashbangs' that pierced the sky, turning the Hoy family's mansion into ruins in the blink of an eye.

However, the "Witch" is indeed one of the most difficult sequences to kill. In the critical moment, Mrs. Sharon used two substitution spells in succession - the wand substitution spell and the mirror substitution spell.

She could have used the Mirror Substitute Technique multiple times, but Captain Leo's gun was just too powerful.

After she used her first Mirror Substitution spell to dodge the first bullet, all the mirrors and glass in the house were shattered. Then she used her Wand Substitution spell to avoid the damage from the second bullet.

When faced with the third bullet, she could only erupt in black flames, which then condensed into thick frost, as if she were turning into a freezer to envelop herself. Finally, she used her most proficient and favorite technique—invisible spider silk—to wrap herself up layer by layer, making the shape of the silk clearly visible, until it formed a giant cocoon that withstood the deadly third bullet.

When the third bullet exploded, Captain Gauss took the lead, charging forward like a bull, followed closely by Captain Dunn, Leonard, and some other members carrying the sealed artifacts.

Having just escaped danger, Mrs. Sharon was pale and extremely weak, but she still tried her best to save herself, hiding herself in full view of everyone.

Suddenly, a member of the Punisher Squad pulled a palm-sized golden mirror from his pocket and waved it. With the blessing of the still-sunset sun, the entire area was bathed in a soft white light, revealing everyone's silhouettes.

Captain Gauss located Mrs. Sharon's position, pushed off with both feet, and instantly rushed in front of her. His fist, as big as a casserole dish, slammed into her body with a whooshing sound.

Mrs. Sharon was immediately seriously injured, spitting out a mouthful of blood in the air, which splattered onto several people around her. Despite her serious injury, Mrs. Sharon kept muttering incantations.

Seeing this, Captain Gauss of the Punishers' expression changed. He was about to speak when Mrs. Sharon stopped moving her mouth.

At the same time, the blood that splattered onto their bodies turned into sulfuric acid, hissing and corroding their bodies, causing the punishers to scream in agony.

Taking this opportunity, Mrs. Sharon used her spider silk to entangle the member of the Punisher team who was using the mirror seal, and pulled him over with a sharp tug.

Just as Mrs. Sharon's face hardened and her slender right hand reached for the team member's throat, preparing to take him hostage, a soft tuft of long hair fell onto her shoulder, instantly making her feel sleepy. Her eyes involuntarily closed, and her hand movements slowed down.

It turned out that while the member of the Punisher team was entangled in the spider silk, Leonard leaped up and, from above, threw the sealed artifact 3-0611 Quiet Hair directly at Mrs. Sharon.

Leonard was incredibly lucky; there was no wind, and the bullet landed directly on her shoulder, making contact with Mrs. Sharon's neck. Just then, Captain Dunn's demon-hunting bullet arrived as expected.

Mrs. Sharon's spider silk was still entangled around the members of the Punisher Squad. With a single thought, she could instantly cut the hostages into pieces. Therefore, Dunn Smith dared not gamble on how long Quiet Hair could control Mrs. Sharon, nor did he dare gamble on whether he could control her by entering her dream.

Only by threatening her life, forcing Mrs. Sharon to retreat urgently, without time to kill the hostage, without time to become invisible, without time to unleash the power of frost, and only with time to use the fastest spider silk to retreat, could this team member be saved.

As expected, the threat of death posed by the demon-hunting bullet aimed straight at her head instantly snapped Mrs. Sharon to her senses. She shook off the strands of hair that had been lying quietly on her shoulders and desperately wrapped spider silk around herself to defend against the deadly demon-hunting bullet.

A bloodstain appeared between Mrs. Sharon's eyebrows, but that seemed to be all. The bullets also seemed to have run out of power and fell to the ground. However, following the first bullet were three more Demon Hunter bullets, as well as two other bullets that blocked her possible escape space—Dunne Smith almost emptied the six bullets in his revolver in an instant. The speed of the gun was frightening, and the accuracy was also frightening.

A demon-hunting bullet pierced through Mrs. Sharon's spider silk defense. Three bullets followed the trajectory of the first bullet and hit the same spot, almost simultaneously piercing Mrs. Sharon's beautiful face. This famous socialite of Tingen, a Sequence 6 powerhouse, was instantly turned into a skull-crushing corpse that could give anyone nightmares. Within a three-meter radius, there were pale white skull fragments and bright red bits of flesh everywhere.

Only then did the attacks from the other Punishers wielding the sealed artifacts and the squad members of the Mechanical Heart arrive belatedly, landing on Mrs. Sharon's corpse.

Seeing this, Captain Gauss's eyes turned red. Ignoring his teammates who had just been injured by Lady Sharon's blood curse, he immediately shouted:

"Didn't you see Captain Dunn has already killed the target? How are you supposed to communicate with spirits like this?!"

It turns out that one of the sealing artifacts in his team's possession directly affects the soul; being hit by this artifact will severely impair the effectiveness of psychic communication.

Dunn Smith and Captain Leo, who had just arrived, also frowned. They had worked together before and had witnessed the sealed artifact. In the end, they called Klein over, hoping to get him to "communicate with spirits" as a last resort. The other two captains had no objections, as they knew that "diviners" were the most suitable people to do this.

Klein had been waiting for this opportunity. He handed the mutated Sun Badge to Frye, ran straight to Mrs. Sharon's corpse, suppressed his nausea, quickly took out the prepared items, set up the altar, and began the spirit mediumship.

"Where is Tris? Where is Tris...?"

Everyone knows that Triss isn't with Mrs. Sharon, so this is the first question Klein asks after entering the dream.

In the dream, Klein indeed discovered that Mrs. Sharon's "spirit" was unusually thin, and that ordinary extraordinary beings might not be able to complete the psychic communication. Therefore, he did not dare to hesitate at all and reached out to touch Mrs. Sharon's "spirit". He learned that Triss was hiding in an apartment on the lower street of Iron Cross Street in the West District and that he would meet her at the dock area that night.

After answering that question, Mrs. Sharon's spirit completely dissipated.
