Chapter 206 - "Level 2" sealed object

 In the deep and quiet underground corridor, the white skeleton messenger held a piece of paper in his hand and vanished from Klein's sight. No abnormal changes occurred. When only the elegant gas lamps embedded in the walls remained, he put away the Azkic copper whistle and continued towards the Charnis Gate. During the process of writing the letter, he had already decided which sealed object to choose next: Firstly, the "Level 3" sealed object was almost impossible to affect the baby in Mehogos's womb, unless it was the "Variant Sun Holy Emblem" - an item with hidden mysteries. But at this moment, in this situation, Klein had no time or energy to explore or study the possible or non-existent secrets. Moreover, the sealed objects all had certain risks, causing great inconvenience to the user and even posing a danger. Therefore, Klein directly excluded these "Level 3" sealed objects that could not affect the enemy but would weaken himself. Secondly, the Tingen City Night Squad did not have "Level 1" sealed objects, and there were only three "Level 2" sealed objects. This was a secret that Klein should not have known, but due to the critical situation, Dunn果断ly used the "Emergency Clause" and told him the general situation. —Dunn Smith couldn't pick up another sealed object while holding the ashes of Saint Serena. Not one of them would do. The "Level 2" sealed objects behind the Charnis Gate in Tingen City were: "2-030", "2-078", and "2-105". The name of "2-030" is "Infinite Poison", derived from an extraordinary person who suddenly went crazy and had an unknown sequence name. He cut off his wrist and committed suicide, allowing the blood in his body to flow into a small ordinary silver cup. However, after he drained all the blood, the silver cup was not filled, and the liquid inside became crystal clear and moist, extremely attractive. Even the extraordinary person with sequence 5 couldn't resist this temptation and drank the liquid, dying on the spot. After the poisoned person died, the poison would slowly seep out from his skin pores and gather again, not much more or less than before. Dunn said that the researchers of the Sanctuary suspected that high-sequence strongmen would die from this, but the problem was that high-sequence strongmen almost wouldn't be tempted by this cup of poison, and because of the obvious characteristics of "2-030", it was impossible to accidentally consume it. To poison them, one must first capture them, firmly control them, and force them to drink it. But, why go through all this trouble? "2-030" would constantly tempt the surrounding creatures to drink it. The user must concentrate fully to resist this power. Any slight relaxation would cause them to drink the poison as if performing a habitual action. Almost at the same time that Dunn finished describing it, Klein had already decided not to choose this sealed object. "2-078" is called "The Door of Death", its appearance is a normal wooden door. Any creature passing through it will die directly. No high-sequence strongmen participated in the test. It has the characteristic of being alive and will always try to escape, and can change its shape to disguise itself as the existing doors. If the user makes a mistake and allows it to lose control, one must be careful. One cannot pass through any of the surrounding doors and should try to stay in the original place and wait for rescue, or break through the wall to leave. Klein considered using "2-078", but after repeated consideration, he believed that the intuition of mythological creatures must be very sharp, and they should be able to distinguish which door is "The Door of Death". Therefore, the practical effect of this sealed object would not be very good. Ultimately, he decided to choose "2-105". The name of this seal is "Vascular Thief". Its appearance is a thick and rigid blood vessel. Anyone who touches it, regardless of whether they have protection or not, will have their life stolen. At first, it is not obvious, but if the contact is not broken, then after half an hour, there will be corresponding external manifestations. Dunn said that a cultist of sequence 5 sustained contact for two hours, changing from a young man in his thirties to an emaciated person with hunched shoulders, wrinkled skin, sparse white hair, and all teeth missing. "The greatest feature of '2-105' is that the person wearing it has the opportunity to steal a certain target's ability within a certain range. Even strong sequence 5 fighters will be stolen, but the probability is smaller." Within ten minutes of the seal's ability taking effect, the stolen person will lose the corresponding ability directly, while the wearer can skillfully use it. Ten minutes later, the ability disappears, and the stolen person will have to wait until the next day to recover. "Whether it works or not, at least the winning probability has increased from 100% to 10%, and I'm at least the Yellow and Black King who holds good luck... Besides, our main purpose is to prevent problems before they occur, make the worst plan, and it doesn't necessarily mean taking action... I hope the helpers arrive as soon as possible..." Klein stopped outside the duty room and no longer had any hesitation. Regarding the negative impact of the seal "2-105", he was not very worried because he did not intend to use it himself... His plan was to give Leonard, who had his "Sun Flame Spell" and the "Azkot Copper Horn" that might be suppressed. Poet classmate, it's time to show your true secret... Klein whispered, and saw Xigao Teon standing at the door of the duty room. This white-haired, black-eyed, and calm-tempered part-time writer was silent for a few seconds before saying: "Come and guard the Charnis Gate." "My strength is stronger than yours, and my experience is richer than yours." But you don't have the "Sun Flame Spell"... Klein smiled and said: "Lady, I have reached sequence 8." "Even here, it won't be safe. The sealed objects with the ability to possess life behind the Charnis Gate are probably getting restless. Um, if we fail, the people here will definitely not be spared either." "Ha ha, our target above is to delay time and wait for rescue. This might be safer than near the Charnis Gate." Xigao Teon slowly pursed her lips and solemnly drew a crimson moon on her chest: "May the goddess protect you all." Because Dunn didn't have time to write the documents, Klein couldn't directly enter the Charnis Gate and could only watch Xigao Teon push open a gap and enter inside. After a few minutes, her figure appeared by the gate, holding a thick and pale, blood-stained vessel in her left hand. Klein extended his palm to receive it, and immediately felt as if there was a weak current washing over him repeatedly. ... In the reception hall of Black Thorn Security Company. Leonard had shaken off the stiff state he had just been in and his expression was no longer abnormal as he began to talk about the house where Lanrus had rented. "Really? He never told me that..." Meogos frowned slightly and gave a rather normal reply. After saying that, she grabbed her blonde hair, took out a full handful, and casually threw it into the nearby trash can. Leonard was stunned for a moment, swallowed hard, and cold sweat broke out on his palm. ... Cline, whose left hand was wrapped in "Vascular Thief" bandage, walked down the stairs, step by step, back to the second floor. He saw Dunn Smith, wearing a black knee-length thin windbreaker, standing quietly at the entrance of the night watchman's lounge under the pale blue gas lamp. His eyes were deep and dark, just like when he "first" met her. "Let's get acquainted again, night watchman, Dunn Smith." The past voice flashed through Cline's ears, and suddenly, Dunn, who was half lying beside Cohenli's body, emerged in his mind. His mouth was stained with blood. He remained silent for a few seconds, then walked over and raised his left hand, saying: "Captain, I chose the sealing material '2-105'. I'm going to use it for Leonard." Dunn nodded gently, not asking why. Instead, he pointed to his office and said: "The Temple sent a telegram saying that they will immediately send strongmen over. We should try to delay and wait as much as possible." "The coincidental things haven't received a response yet. I think there's probably no conclusion for now, or the person who received the telegram doesn't know the specific situation and can't guess. You know, we have to hurry. The telegram can't be written too long." "Um." Cline nodded and moved closer to the partition, looking out and saying, "How's it going?" "There's been no abnormality for now." Dunn looked down at the holy man's ashes box held in his left hand. Seeing that Leonard and Mehogossi were chatting well, Cline didn't go out to disturb them. He retreated to the entrance of the night watchman's lounge, facing the corridor with Dunn, at an angle. Just then, Dunn suddenly chuckled self-deprecatingly: "I forgot something." "What?" Cline responded with confusion. Dunn turned his head to look at him and said: "Deeley asked me to explain it to you myself." "Ah?" Cline froze for a moment, not quite understanding what the captain meant. After two seconds, before Dunn could answer, he suddenly realized: The reason why Ms. Deeley didn't reply in time was that she thought it wasn't necessary. She directly conveyed the matter to the captain and let him explain it himself. This... This shows that there's no major problem with the captain! At this critical moment, Cline suddenly felt genuine joy.
