The function of this whistle was very similar to Mr. Azik's copper whistle. It also seemed to have a negative effect of attracting the deceased…
Ebner, who had activated the Eye of Pure White, carefully examined the copper whistle before finally accepting it.
When Jane saw Ebner accept her gift, the face formed by the black mist once again showed a "happy" expression. Then she lifted the hem of her dress, bowed, and said goodbye.
"I don't have much time. I have to leave now… I wish you a good night's sleep, Ebner."
Her voice became softer as the figure formed by the black fog slowly retreated back into the wall.
"I wish you a safe journey," Ebner said, pressing his hand to his chest and smiling back.
Soon, the light from the gas lamp shone brightly, and all the dark green disappeared.
Ebner, who had been activating the Eye of Pure White, watched this change in a daze. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, but he sighed in his heart. "I didn't learn it… Apart from the mystical item Jane mentioned, I should have borrowed some kind of undead power."
Then, after some thought, he took out the cello box with the Sword of Dawn sealed in it from his bedroom cabinet.
When the Sword of Dawn wasn't used, it needed to be sealed with the power of Death or Darkness. Therefore, every once in a while, Ebner had to hold a new ritual to reset the runes on the inside of the chest.
But now that he had the Book of Dead Souls, he could change his way of thinking…
While Ebner was thinking this, he began to engrave the inscription on the inside of the box. He placed the Book of Dead Souls in the center of the inscription and finally closed the box.
This way, the two items could restrain each other and seal each other…
After sealing the entire box with his spirituality, Ebner nodded in satisfaction.
After doing this, he wanted to pray to Mr. Fool and ask if what Jane said about the Black Tulip passing through the Pritz outer sea at dawn tomorrow was true.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Jane, but since he was going to report her, he had to verify the truth of the matter. Otherwise, wouldn't he implicate his friend who delivered the news?
However, he looked at the sky and decided to wait for a few hours until daybreak. If he disturbed Mr. Fool at this time, he might encounter a terrifying "morning sickness."
However, he couldn't disturb The Fool. He still had to do some other preparations.
Ebner dressed and packed his usual mystical items and charms. Then he opened the door and tiptoed downstairs.
It was not until this moment that he realized that Jane's arrival did not alarm his teacher. Apparently, her black mist state had a "concealment" effect!
Was it the effect of the mystical item she mentioned, or was it the special effect of the specter that helped her Spirit Body fly so far?
With this question in mind, Ebner left Detective Isengard's office and activated the Eye of Pure White to simulate the ability to "fly." He used the darkness to fly towards the bridge.
Since he needed to report it to the military, there had to be a "reasonable" source of information… And the organization that colluded with Admiral Hell was undoubtedly the Numinous Episcopate…
Of course, Ebner couldn't afford to offend the Numinous Episcopate, but the branch of the Numinous Episcopate, the Eternal life Society, could more or less be related to Admiral Hell. Naturally, it became a good target for him.
Furthermore, the Eternal life Society had previously had a feud with Ebner. His reputation as a Hero Detective had originally been built on the success of the "Black Skeleton Gang", a subordinate of the Eternal life Society—although he hadn't done so willingly.
However, the Eternal life Society clearly hated him to the core. If not for him being in the limelight and not being able to take action, Ebner would've been attacked.
And the reason why Ebner hadn't taken action to eliminate them was because he had previously sensed that the Church of Storms might be watching this organization.
However, the Mandated Punishers were either injured or dead. Those who could still move were still investigating the whereabouts of the Marionettist who had killed Robert. This made it convenient for him to act.
…
79 Durham Street, Backlund Bridge area.
Perhaps the various Churches had yet to find out the location of the Everlasting Society's stronghold, but Ebner, who had seen the original location, remembered to ask Chu for help. After all, he had a deep impression of the organization that Klein had sent to the sky with a few matches.
Standing in the shadows near the cottage that bordered the docks, Ebner reached into a hidden pocket and plucked out a handful of shimmering powder, which he sprinkled with the spell.
Right on the heels of that, he simulated the witch's "invisibility" ability. His figure disappeared inch by inch, and the outline of his body was completely erased by an eraser like it was drawn with a pencil.
This was an Assassin technique he had learned from the Cardiothoracic Department yesterday. It could effectively enhance the effects of invisibility.
After concealing himself, he quietly came to the front door of the house and used his ability to simulate the "door opening" to enter the room.
There weren't many people in the room. There were only three of them, all of whom had distinctive characteristics of the Southern Continent. However, although the three of them were very muscular, they didn't seem to be Beyonders.
Of course, Ebner could not tell. He did not have the ability to do so. Instead, he read the shallow memories of the three of them through "mind reading." That was how he came to this conclusion.
Only ordinary people were here? If that was the case, the "information" he received would not be convincing…
Just as Ebner was in a dilemma, he heard a man wearing a white singlet complaining, "The man brought back by Lord Godotpos is really tough. It's been almost 15 minutes, and he still hasn't revealed the mastermind?"
The bald man, who was sitting opposite the man in the white vest, replied with a smile, "It should be soon. I've never seen anyone who can last more than half an hour under Lord Lima and Lord Godotpos. I guess they'll come up from underground soon."
"I wonder who that Mr. Aubrey is, to be able to receive the personal protection of Lord Godotpos… If not for Lord Godotpos, he would most likely have been assassinated by that person tonight." The man in the white vest sighed.
So he was interrogating an assassin in the basement… Abner was enlightened. He was about to look for the entrance to the basement when he saw the third man who had been silent all this while standing up and walking towards the wine barrel by the kitchen.
"What are you going to do, Gordon?" asked the bald man curiously.
The man named Gordon said without looking back, "It's almost two o' clock. I have to send down three glasses of chilled Southville beer. That's what Lord Lima ordered."
The bald man responded with an "oh", and only after Gordon disappeared into the kitchen did he spit in a low voice, "Pfft, what a lackey! He thinks he's better than others just because he saved Lord Lima's thigh!"
"That's right!" the man in the white vest chimed in angrily.
Ebner ignored the two men who were obviously jealous. Instead, he crept into the kitchen and stared thoughtfully at Gordon as he poured beer into his glass.
When he went to the ice cellar to retrieve the ice, Ebner quickly went forward and took out three strands of yellow hair sealed with spirituality from his pocket. Then, he placed the strands of hair into the wine cup.
This was the hair that Judy had given him. It was said to be able to poison an adult curly-haired baboon to death in a few seconds…
The hair dissolved as soon as it was drunk, leaving no trace behind.
Upon seeing this, Ebner nodded in satisfaction as he thought, From the looks of it, what Judy said about "even demigods being difficult to detect" wasn't an exaggeration. At the very least, he, who had many means, had no other means to detect problems other than using the Eye of Pure White.
At this moment, Gordon returned to the kitchen and placed the ice cubes into the wine glass. After waiting for nearly two minutes, he used the tray to pick up three cups of Southville beer. He went to the cupboard and knocked on a wooden board beside it.
Soon, the closet was pushed open from the inside. A man with brown skin and short black curly hair appeared at the entrance of the underground tunnel.
He looked at Gordon appraisingly, then nodded. He took the tray containing the wine glasses and closed the cupboard again.
Ebner wasn't in a hurry to follow them in. Instead, he turned back and simulated his Nightmare powers, pulling the three ordinary people in the house, including Gordon, into a dream. Then he calmly ended their lives with a small knife.
These were all villains who had been identified by Klein in the future. Their hands were stained with the blood of innocents, so Ebner didn't hesitate to kill them.
After burning them to ashes with Witch's Black Flames, Ebner went to the closet and used his Door Opening ability to pass through and enter the basement.
This basement wasn't large, and it was about the same size as the house Ebner had rented in East Borough. Therefore, he immediately saw the three Beyonders lying on the ground peacefully. If not for the fact that their Beyonder characteristics had been revealed, Ebner would have thought that they were just sleeping.
And the person who was tied to the X-shaped rack, who was almost unrecognizable from the torture.
"Beatrice?!"
