Klein exited the heavy safe and calmed down after realizing that there was nothing wrong.

"That bone statue is very evil... Although it's not dangerous, it makes people feel inexplicably uneasy... Could it be the so-called 'Original Witch'? An evil deity known as the 'Hidden Sage', 'Dark Side of the Universe', and 'True Creator'?" Klein thought of his previous guess about Madam Sharon, and suddenly realized who the bone statue might represent.

Just as he was thinking, his spirituality was suddenly touched and he had a bad premonition.

Klein hurried to the window with intricate patterns and looked at the road outside the house. He saw a carriage driving quickly and steadily towards the main entrance under the light of the gas street lamp.

Mrs. Sharon is back? His mind moved and he figured out the source of the crisis premonition.

Considering that Triss was a woman who became a Sequence 8 "Instigator", she was likely a Sequence 7. Madam Sharon had been active in Tingen City's upper-class social circles for many years and was likely stronger than Triss. Klein did not dare to take risks with the "Yangyan Talisman" and "Azik Copper Whistle" and rationally decided to retreat.

This is because the former has a limited quantity. If one is used, there will be one less. And who knows how long it will take to trick out the "Mutated Sun Holy Emblem" seal again. Unless it is a critical moment and there is no other way, Klein does not want to waste it, and he will face the problem of how to explain it later.

He couldn't possibly say to Dunn that a kind-hearted strong man happened to pass by and helped him, right?

As for why he didn't use the "Azik Copper Whistle", it was because Klein was not sure whether the summoned "messenger" had the combat capability. What if he only looked mighty and could only deliver letters?

“Based on what we just found, it’s enough for the Nighthawks to go out. Why should I fight Madam Sharon one-on-one? We can definitely beat her up in a group!” Klein emphasized in his mind, ended the summons, and quickly returned to the gray fog. Then he wrapped himself in spirituality and fell back into his body in the real world.

He quickly extinguished and put away the candle, removed the spiritual wall, flashed out of Mrs. Sharon's bedroom, and returned along the same route, but there was no time to restore the latch of the balcony door.

After sliding down the water pipe and climbing out of the garden from the wall in the opposite direction of the main gate, Klein hid all the way to the next block before taking an expensive night-time horse-drawn carriage to Zouteland Street.

…………

Mrs. Sharon, who looked even prettier in a black dress, slowly returned to the second floor, sent the maid away, and opened the door of her bedroom.

Her pure and moist eyes suddenly froze, reflecting strands of almost transparent, barely visible filaments. They did not possess spiritual brilliance, just like the hair of a diseased human. No one could discover them unless they knew the existence of these things in advance or had very special eyes.

At this moment, all the filaments broke and fell to the ground.

Mrs. Sharon narrowed her eyes and cast her gaze towards the heavy iron-gray safe.

…………

Blackthorn Security Company, No. 6 Zouteland Street.

Dunn, who was sitting with his legs crossed and leisurely reading a newspaper, looked at Klein who appeared at the door of his office with a slightly strange expression, and sighed silently:

"Aren't you going to try to sneak into Mrs. Sharon's house tonight and conduct a preliminary search?"

"…Did you find a problem?"

Klein nodded solemnly:

"Yes."

"I suspect Madam Sharon is a member of the Witch Cult."

"A member of the Witch Cult?" Dunn put down the newspaper, chewed on the phrase, and asked seriously, "What did you find?"

Klein didn't sit down. Instead, he leaned forward, supported himself on the edge of the desk with both hands, and said:

"I first saw a photo of a young man, but he looked very similar to Mrs. Sharon."

If he changed into women's clothes, put on makeup, beautified his face, and used Photoshop, he would look roughly like Madam Sharon now... Klein couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Similar to the 'instigator' Triss?" Dunn's gray eyes flickered, and he suddenly understood.

They had previously determined that Triss was likely a member of the Witch Cult.

"Yes." Klein nodded with a complicated feeling, and then said, "Later, I used divination skills and found in my dream that there was a skeleton statue in the interlayer of Madam Sharon's safe. It was a beautiful woman, but her hair grew all the way to her ankles. Each strand was as thick as a venomous snake, and there were eyes on the top. It was quite weird. Captain, is this the image of the 'Original Witch'?"

Because of the low level of confidentiality, he was able to see very little information about the Witch Sect.

Dunn thought about it for a moment, then nodded solemnly:

"This is the image of the 'Original Witch'."

"We must act immediately to control Madam Sharon."

Klein immediately agreed, “Well, if Madam Sharon is a mid-sequence Beyonder from the Witch Cult, then I don’t think she would be unaware that someone had sneaked into her bedroom.”

At this moment, he suddenly became confused and asked:

"Captain, why do the seven orthodox gods have no specific images and are only represented by symbols, while the evil gods I have come into contact with so far all have human-like appearances, such as the 'True Creator' and the 'Original Witch'. Is this one of the differences between the righteous gods and the evil gods?"

Why is there such a difference? Klein silently asked a question, but wisely did not speak it out loud.

"This is the difference between a good god and an evil god." Dunn gave an affirmative answer, then stood up and walked to the coat rack and said, "We can't delay any longer. I'm worried that Madam Sharon will escape."

At this point, Dunn paused:

"Go call Kenli, the three of us will go together. We can apply for a Sealed Artifact. Madam Sharon is likely to be more than Sequence 7."

Captain, you are so wise! Klein answered without hesitation:

"OK."

Then, he asked with a hint of curiosity:

"Captain, which seal do you want to use?"

Dunn recalled and pondered for more than ten seconds and said:

“—0217.”

Because there weren't many seals behind the Chanis Gate in Tingen City, Klein quickly remembered what the captain wanted to apply for:

"Number: 0217."

"Name: The Psychic's Mirror."

"Danger level: '', there is a certain degree of danger, please use with caution, and only operations with three or more people can apply for it."

"Secrecy Level: Full member of Nightwatch and above."

"Sealing method: Place in lightless darkness."

"Description: The back of this mirror is coated with mercury, and there are three small cracks on the front."

"When the initial investigator looked into the mirror, he saw a woman with long hair crying inside. Then, he saw the woman crawling out of the mirror."

"It has been shown in numerous experiments that the image reflected by a mirror is different most of the time, and even if the same person looks at it repeatedly, they will encounter different things, with varying levels of danger, but they all prioritize attacking the person looking in the mirror."

"The most dangerous situation is seeing yourself."

"If no one looks at this mirror, an image will automatically appear every three hours as long as there is light."

"It does not possess the properties of being alive."

"Addendum: This mirror originally belonged to a psychic. It was a very ordinary mirror until one day, the psychic looked into it and committed suicide under strange circumstances."

Indeed, behind the Chanis Gate in Tingen City, there are not many seals that can be used for battles between Beyonders. "-0217" is a good choice... Klein didn't say anything more. He immediately ran to the Nighthawks' entertainment room and called out "The Insomniac" Coenli.

——Tonight, Luo Yao was on duty at Chanis Gate, Leonard was resting, and Xijia.Tion was inspecting Raphael Cemetery and other places. New members would not arrive until Sunday, so Dunn could only choose one between Frye and Coenli. Considering that Madam Sharon belonged to the Witch Cult and had little to do with the undead, he chose the latter.

After a few minutes, Dunn returned from underground with a mirror wrapped in thick black cloth in his hand.

Frankly speaking, if I hadn't known in advance, I wouldn't have been able to tell it was a mirror. There was no part of it exposed... Klein and the short-statured Kornley went forward.

"You will be responsible for using the Sealed Artifact '-0217'." Dunn handed the mirror to Cornley.

After seeing this scene, Klein suddenly realized that he was a Sequence 8 Beyonder and had the strength to fight head-on. He could no longer hide aside and simply provide assistance.

Hiss, I'm a little nervous... He touched the "Sleeping Talisman" and other items in his pocket to make sure he was fully prepared.

"The only problem is that I didn't bring a cane to facilitate climbing. Well, I can borrow Cohen's. He has a mirror in one hand and a pistol in the other. That's enough." While Klein was thinking, the three of them went downstairs and took a rented carriage to Orsna Street.

On the way, Cornley glanced at the sealed object "-0217" in his hand, and said with a slightly tense expression:

"This is the first time I've participated in such a dangerous operation."

Under normal circumstances, the Nighthawks would not use seals when dealing with extraordinary events.

——When we went to Morse Town to solve supernatural incidents before, we applied for the "Mutated Sun Holy Emblem" to prepare for small-probability accidents. Because the distance was too far, rescue would definitely be too late. But this time, the target is almost certain to be a mid-sequence Beyonder!

“Don’t worry. Maybe Madam Sharon has already run away.” Klein smiled.

Frankly speaking, he was no less nervous than Cohen.

Dunn's gray eyes turned, he looked at him helplessly and said:

"Let's try not to let Mrs. Sharon get away."

…………

More than twenty minutes later, the three night watchmen arrived at Orsna Street and saw the garden and Mrs. Sharon's house in the dark. They were lying there quietly, as if nothing had happened.

Klein took out the pendulum from his left wrist cuff and quickly began to divine:

"There's danger inside."

"There's danger inside."

…

After repeating it silently seven times, he opened his eyes and saw the topaz pendant rotating clockwise with a medium amplitude and speed.

This shows that there is danger inside, not high, but not low either!
