Shaun gasped and sat down on the ground, looking at the body parts scattered all over the place, not understanding if the gun had understood his will or if it was just a coincidence.
As Shaun's body and spirit simultaneously went slack, the huge revolver in his hand disappeared.
Having experienced the edge of life and death twice within 24 hours, Shaun felt that his knowledge of spirit world agents had been completely turned upside down.
"Is this a level three mission? Is Level 3 that dangerous?" Shaun thought to himself, "The assassin at the Wallraf Museum in the afternoon had similarities with Father Schwartz's special ability, both of which were based on the power of the mind. I wonder if this is a unique ability of the Dark Order or a collateral benefit Father Schwartz gained from working for another organisation."
Not far away the man whose Phantom Pupil was destroyed by Andre heard nothing more, so he fumbled to stand up and tried to call out two names, it should be the names of the giant man and the tentacle man, seeing no response, a trace of panic flashed on the face of the Illusionist, he called out again for Father Schwartz, still no answer.
"They're both dead, stay put and wait for the police and paramedics to arrive." Shaun said to the Illusionist, after saying that, he took out his mobile phone, for a moment he didn't know who to call, the two buttresses sent by the Cologne Church were both betrayers, and also belonged to two different organisations, and both of them were already dead.
If he called the police directly, he was afraid that he would not find the right department, and the scene was not something that ordinary police could handle.
Shaun thought about it and stood up and walked towards Lola to see if he could wake Lola up and ask her how to handle it.
"Heh heh heh, you bugs, you're all test subjects for your master, don't do anything pointless." The Illusionist said with a sneer.
"Oh? Who is your master? What's something meaningful?" Shaun asked as he leaned over to observe Lola's condition.
"Obedience to my master's will is the meaningful thing. As for who my master is, a worm like you doesn't deserve to know." The Illusionist said with a cold smile on his lips.
Shaun stopped paying attention to him and patted Lola's face hard.
Lola slowly woke up. She had been knocked unconscious by Father Schwartz with her mind power when she was caught off guard. Father Schwartz was dead, and the restriction on her

ability was lifted.
Lola put her hand on her head, opened her eyes to see Shaun, her eyes closed again, frowning with a slightly pained expression: "What happened?"
Shaun didn't know where to start for a moment, thought for a moment and said, "Father Schwartz was from the Dark Order, Deacon Andre was an agent of the Demon Spirit, they're both dead, who can we contact now to clean up the mess?"
Laura fumbled with her eyes closed and pulled out her mobile phone and asked, "Where are we?"
"Kolumba Museum."
Lola dialled a number: "Father Frank, Kolumba Museum, there's been a death in the Diocese, please send someone to deal with it."
Hanging up the phone, Lola said:Â "It's the parish priest of the Diocese of Kolumba, for them the Diablo will take priority."
Then Lola stood up and said, "Tell us what all just happened?"
Shaun told all about what happened after he broke up with Lola, temporarily omitting the part about the Black Flame Revolver, and attributing Father Schwartz's death to the exchange of fights with Deacon Andre: "The other three don't seem to be on the same page as Father Schwartz, or at least not with the Diablo Church. The master they were talking about, that killer at the Wallraf Museum, also mentioned that they should be all the way. And Deacon Andre is the Demon Spirit Agent, he mentioned something like 'Lord Attila' in the battle just now."
Lola nodded and said, "I told you before at the Wallraf Museum that you don't have to care about saving your life. See, so quickly you saved me."
Shaun thought to himself:Â "That doesn't sound like a thank you, it sounds like a lecture to a schoolboy." Then he asked: "There is another important thing to report to you, during the fight just now, I triggered a secret stone, it was the secret stone of fire, I saw that it wasn't the secret stone of force, so I didn't wait for you to deal with it and touched the secret stone directly."
Lola glanced at Shaun, her emerald eyes swept over with a hint of a smile: "Congratulations, you finally got the second secret stone. Secret Stone of Fire, manipulating flames, very impressive, Level 2 Agent."
Shaun smiled back, this was indeed something to be happy about: "By the way, is the ability of the Secret Stone of Fire able to manifest some weapons, such as a huge revolver?"
3 / 5
Lola's beautiful eyes widened: "Unheard of, why do you ask?"
Shaun froze, some bad suspicions from earlier confirmed. Just now, he vaguely felt that the skill that manifested the large revolver was related to the black flame that was absorbed by the short sword when he triggered the secret stone. The black flames of the revolver in his hand just now, and the black flames erupting from the muzzle when he struck out, were all obvious evidence. That's why he had just hidden the black flame revolver paragraph when recounting the process.
Now that he heard Lola say that embodied weapons were unheard of, Shaun confirmed that his guess was right.
Shaun's mind spun rapidly and made a decision: "I think that 'Gun God' ability you talked about is cool, and thought how nice it would be if the Secret Stone of Fire had a similar ability."
Lola said:"It's really luck of the draw which direction your ability goes. You want to be a gun god, maybe you'll just end up being a master potter. But you're off to a good start, the Fire skill is a stronger basic skill that's more practical."
As he spoke, a tall priest led a group of men in black into the museum, the men in black moved quickly and quietly, cleaning up the bodies at the scene and treating the Illusionist's eye wounds.
The tall Father Frank walked up to Shaun and Lola, he had very light coloured curly hair, light blue eyes, reddish skin like a Dutchman and a serious expression.
After hearing what happened, Father Frank looked at Shaun and Lola with a still serious look and said, "Thank you both for identifying a dark heretic lurking in the Diocese of Cologne, and a priest at the level of Bishop's Assistant. This matter must be reported to the Vatican. We'll start lining up the Diocese of Cologne tomorrow."
"Preferably including yourself." Shaun muttered inwardly. He didn't quite dare trust anyone but Lola after a long day.
Shaun handed Father Frank the short sword and said, "This is their target, the short sword stained with Attila's blood, belonging to St Ursula. As for their purpose, it is still unknown. It is possible that they may act again if they have not achieved their purpose."
Over there, the Illusionist whose hands were handcuffed by the men in black and was about to be escorted away let out a burst of crazy laughter: "What the master wants, with you guys you want to keep it? Wait for the master's punishment, you worms!"
Father Frank waved his hand: "Take them away and go find out who they are." Turning back to Shaun and Lola, he said, "Father Schwartz's apartment I will now survey it myself. You two have worked hard, please rest tonight."

Shaun hesitated and asked, "Do you have a place to keep this short sword properly?"
Father Frank said:Â "The few people here tonight should be all they have in Cologne at the moment, otherwise they would have long since appeared together just now to grab the short sword. The time it took them to mobilise their new forces was enough time for me to put the shortsword in the vault at the Cathedral Treasure House."
Shaun and Lola nodded in agreement.
It was four in the morning when they exited the Kolumba Museum and Shaun said to Lola, "I've already made a trip to the Imperium to explain the situation to the gatekeepers for support before I came here, and I reckon that maybe tomorrow during the day our support will be here as well. We'll discuss how to take the next step then. Right now, I just want to throw myself into bed and sleep for the rest of the day."
Laura said, "It's time to get some rest, the last 20 hours have been too much. Secondary Agent Shaun, welcome to the daily routine of an agent in the Imperium."
Shaun was silent for a moment and asked: "What happened to the woman?"
Laura stared: "What woman?"
Shaun said: "The woman who tried to kill herself but couldn't."
It was Lola's turn to be silent for a moment and said, "Dead. We found the person who put the curse on her, her husband's mistress. After she put the curse on her, she realised that the price she had to pay was the man she loved, the husband who died in a car accident."
Lola looked into the darkness of the night: "Grief on earth is only a pastime for demons. So don't make deals with demons."
Shaun, although he knew that Lola said this unintentionally, he still heard a shiver in his heart, remembering the revolver that burned with black flames, and always wondered if he was involved with the devil in some way as well.
Lola waved her hand: "Let's go, back to the hotel to sleep." After saying that, she walked away with a hobbling gait.
Shaun stood alone for a while, debating whether to go straight to the portal and enter the spirit world to find the gatekeeper to ask about the Black Flame Revolver. But physical and mental fatigue took over and his head was still very sore from Father Schwartz's mental attack.
"Fuck it, love it or leave it, go back to the hotel and sleep his ass off first." Shaun made his decision and also stumbled towards The Qvest Hotel.

Back at the hotel, in order to get a better sleep effect, Shaun insisted on taking a shower, then threw himself on the bed and huffed and puffed.
Shaun woke up from his nap to realise that he had forgotten to hang the curtains before going to bed last night, and the sunlight streaming in through the gothic arched windows was already shining brightly enough to indicate that it was not early.
Shaun squinted his eyes and stretched comfortably in a big stretch, suddenly taking in the sight of the house and jumping up from the covers in shock.
As his consciousness raced, the elements in the air quickly coalesced, and then ignited by some force, several fires appeared out of nowhere around Shaun.
Shaun himself was again startled by these embers, not expecting that the embers appeared with a single movement of his mind.
Shaun was startled by a middle-aged slightly fat European man, his stomach already had a clear bulge, with a pair of glasses, baldness and stomach is equally difficult to hide, wearing a rustic shirt, with a smile on his face, like a college teacher looking at the students like looking at Shaun, and do not know when and how to enter Shaun's room.
This middle-aged uncle saw Shaun reacting so much, an apologetic smile piled up on his face, waved his hand casually, and the fire suspended around Shaun disappeared: "My name is Richard, I'm also an agent of the spirit world, you can feel it when you're quiet. Sorry for scaring you, it's a good thing you're not sleeping naked or we'd be embarrassed."
