Chapter 101 Loyalty
At midnight, somewhere in the suburbs of Tivian, on a wide road in the countryside, several black carriages were moving quickly. Driven by the coachman, the horses pulled the heavy carriages at full speed, and the horses' hooves and wheels raised a cloud of dust on the road, causing passers-by and other carriages to dodge in a hurry. After dodging the carriages, some people looked towards the end of the road where they disappeared, and cursed at the dust spreading in the distance.
When the black carriages passed another ordinary carriage, the driver of the ordinary carriage took a moment to look at the black carriage far behind him, and then continued to drive his carriage carefully and drove forward. In the carriage, Detective Ed also drew the curtains of the windows, sat down in his seat again, and then looked at Misha who was bandaging the wound on her palm on the seat in front of him.
"It's a car from the Security Bureau. It looks like your staff have already been dispatched."
"That's just the car for ordinary team members. Several captains should have arrived long ago. After all, they can fly. If I had come out a little later, I might have been entangled." Misha, who had wrapped the bandage on her palm and taken off the mask on her face, said to Ed in front of her, and Ed continued indifferently.
"This proves that those guys have calculated the reaction time of An Yin Ju and even your family very well. If they directly use explosives to blow up the Glory Hall and then go in to look for things, it is very likely that they will be blocked at the exit after they come out after finding the things. So they can only find a way to sneak into the Glory Hall, find the things, and then detonate the explosives to blow up the hole and escape. This way, they can save the most time and escape from the cemetery."
Ed spoke calmly. After listening to Ed's words, Misha moved her bandaged palm and then spoke with a slightly frown.
"When you first told me that the Eight Tips might have set their sights on my family's cemetery, I didn't quite believe it. But then I thought that not everyone in my family works in the Security Bureau, so they shouldn't know so much about my affairs with Desire. Now it seems that I was naive..."
"Oh, yes. Although we had expected that they might use your funeral to sneak into the Hall of Glory, we always thought it was a low probability event. We didn't expect that it would actually happen in the end. Judging from the current situation, the reason they wanted to get rid of you was probably not only because you always opposed them and your behavior was uncontrollable, making you a thorn in their eyes. It was also because they themselves needed a suitable person from the Desier family to die in the near future, so as to trigger a funeral that could open the Desier Hall of Glory.
"The guy you encountered in the Hall of Glory must have relied on his ability to transform into a shadow. He hid in the projection of the funeral procession and followed you and the funeral procession into the Hall of Glory. Later, he waited for the funeral procession to leave before emerging from the shadows to search for Ampere's sarcophagus."
"It seems like they really have been planning this for a long time...Except for not anticipating our existence, everything else has been calculated." Sitting on the slightly shaking seat of the carriage, Ed analyzed and said this.
In fact, after learning from John that Ampere's secret letters had a backup in Barrett's place, Dorothy anticipated that the Eight Points might have already deciphered those secret letters, and planned to take action in the Desier Cemetery after returning to Tivian. The plan to eliminate Misha should be connected with the plan to sneak into the cemetery. After planning to eliminate Misha, they had already thought about using Misha's funeral to enter the Hall of Glory to take Ampere's relics. It can be seen that they have been planning for a long time for this return to Tivian.
Although Dorothy had anticipated that the Eight Points would also send people to sneak into the tomb, she thought that Misha, an experienced person with her assistance, should be able to deal with any other extraordinary people under the Red Army. However, she did not expect that the people she actually met would be so difficult to deal with, and she succeeded in saving the things in the end.
"Those guys...those guys...it turns out they not only want me to die, but they also want to use up my funeral. How hateful...dangerous..." Misha murmured with a frown, holding her own hands. Recalling the mysterious black shadow she encountered in the tomb, she gritted her teeth and continued to speak.
"That minion of Bajian can use Sanji's 'shadow' ability. His existence must be related to Bajian's secret plan. It's a pity that we haven't been able to catch him. If we hadn't caught him, it would have been very helpful in revealing Bajian's secrets... At least we can figure out what those guys are plotting."
Listening to Misha mention the mysterious figure in the tomb, Ed couldn't help but fall silent. After thinking for a while, he looked at Misha, whose wound had been treated, and then continued to speak.
"Blood Darkness Path, Storm Path... those of us who are in Pritt and have been dealing with the Eight Tips for a long time are relatively familiar with them and have taken corresponding precautions. The key is the Shadow Soul Path that controls shadows... I haven't seen it very often, so I suffered a major loss because of it."
"The Yingpo Road... I have only heard of this branch road before, but this is the first time I have actually encountered it. It is an extraordinary branch road inherited by the royal family of Osotsu. Osotsu is located in the central and eastern part of the main continent and does not have much contact with Putin. It is very mysterious to us who are members of Putin's secret system.
"It is said that... a person's shadow is his 'second soul', which is the reflection and embodiment of the soul in the shadow level of the world. Therefore, the Beyonder who has entered the Shadow Soul Path can rely on controlling the shadow to control the opponent... Haha, I originally thought that this was a path similar to those Sha Fuzi soul-possessed masters, but after the real fight, I didn't expect there were so many tricks. Not only can they control people with shadows, but they can also escape into the shadows and even use shadows to create clones. I feel that it is more in line with the characteristics of the Beyonder ability of the 'Shadow' path than my Storm Path..."
Sitting in her seat, Misha continued to speak, and after listening to Misha's words, she explained her understanding of Yingpo's path. Ed, who was sitting opposite him, touched his chin and pondered for a while after hearing Misha's description, and then spoke slowly.
"Shadow... is it a person's second soul? What an interesting way of saying it... If that's the case, the spiritual structure of Yingpo's path is that 'shadow' is primary and 'silence' is secondary... Miss Misha, it seems that the powerful soul power user you have been looking for for many years has now been found..."
"The soul user we have been looking for all year..." Misha frowned slightly after hearing Ed's words, then thought about it for a while and thought of something. She immediately reacted and said with some surprise.
"Soul power, and he's a 'shadow' assassin. You mean, that guy is the Night Demon?!"
"Only such a skill can be worthy of the Night Demon's deeds. He was able to kill Duke Barrett with the power of a storm under such strict guard, and he was able to make the victim's soul unable to be communicated with... This ability to manipulate multiple branch abilities at the same time, isn't it just what the Night Demon deserves?"
Sitting in the carriage, Ed continued to speak to Misha indifferently. Listening to Ed's words, the surprise in Misha's eyes turned into a hint of understanding, and she couldn't help but nodded.
"That's true... It does make sense. Yes... Apart from Night Demon, where else could Bajian find such a powerful assassin besides Red Demon in Tivian? After Duke Barrett was assassinated, Night Demon didn't make any moves for more than half a year. Now it seems that he has returned with Bajian's team.
"We initially thought that the Night Demon's ability to block spiritual communication must have been obtained through some special extraordinary items. Now it seems that things are far from that simple...
"More importantly... the mysterious man just fought with me in the Hall of Glory, which was restricted by the Desier bloodline ritual, but that guy's ability doesn't look like it has been weakened much. If the mysterious man is really the Night Demon, then it proves... the Night Demon is very likely a member of our Desier family..."
Misha murmured with obvious worry on her face, and Ed, who was opposite her, continued to speak.
"Didn't you say that Desier and many nobles of Pritt had intermarriages? There are many other families whose children have Desier's blood in them. Night Demon may also be one of these families, or he may have used some other method to bypass the bloodline restrictions in the Hall of Glory."
"In any case, the Night Demon is most likely a Pritt noble of Tivian, and possibly an old upper-class noble. This is an important clue for us. When I get home, I will try to sort out the family genealogy to see if I can find any clues." Misha said this, and after she finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued.
