Chapter 3421: Old John's Strange Art

"Detective, I see you are not the kind of person whose thinking is prone to problems. But some things, young people who are not old enough are not as transparent as old people... This is the duality of civilization."

Xia De turned to look at Old John, and then shook his head:

"If you want to give me ideological counseling, I would say that is the doctor's job."

The doctor laughed beside him.

"Old man, you don't have to worry about me, I'm not a child. They realized their wishes, the mimics got the means of 'evolution', and we figured out the source of this mimic incident and got this."

He shook the black notebook in his hand; "Calculated this way, actually everyone won."

Boom! A loud noise made everyone on the roof turn to look in the direction of the 【Mimic's House】. While the group was solving the factory matter, the Ringed Shushi of the Church of the Five Gods had also begun to demolish the building that they usually didn't notice at all at a very fast speed.

Xia De handed the black notebook in his hand to Dorothy. The writer lady tapped it lightly and copied it into three copies. One copy was handed to Old John, and the other copy and the list of factory workers were given to Iluna. Xia De said to Iluna:

"You take the coffin and the data and leave first. Everything you saw just now can be told to the church. Pay attention to whether there are other traces of the 【Blood Spirit School】 in this matter. I suspect they have returned to Tobesk."

Although Iluna did not participate in the final action against the 【Mimic's House】 tonight, the situation here is even more important than cleaning up the 【Mimic's House】. In this way, Luweiya's divination was indeed correct.

"I see, then you guys be careful too."

Iluna nodded, put away the data, and jumped off the roof carrying the coffin.

Xia De said to Old John again:

"Old John, can I see you act tonight?"

"Except for the night of the divine descent two years ago when I almost acted (Chapter 272), I haven't been active for a long time in these years."

The gray-haired old man said with a smile. In the background of the fire behind him, steam mist dissipated. In the sound of bells and enlightenment, what emerged from the void was a twelve-ring life ring.

Although he had long known that this old gentleman's strength was extraordinary, the twelve rings still made everyone respect him. Old John's core spirit runes are the more common three: Enlightenment-Protection, Enlightenment-Antiques, Enlightenment-Secrets.

So after Old John, the life rings of Xia De, Luweiya, Dorothy, Doctor Schneider, and Priest Augustus also emerged. The life rings reflected each other. Xia De's life ring floated behind everyone's life rings. Now the radius of his life ring is almost three times that of a normal life ring.

Xiris and Galina's maids also left the roof temporarily. They are no longer needed here. And the six people on the roof watched the blood-colored building collapsing in the direction of the battlefield, and the streaks of blood-colored light shooting out from the building.

The Ringed Shushi of the church intercepted most of the blood light, and the remaining blood-colored light was blocked by other Ringed Shushi who were hiding and watching the fun on the periphery of the battlefield—almost everyone in the city wanted to expel the 【Mimic's House】.

Two of the rays flew in the direction of Xia De and others, and then Priest Augustus raised his hand "Death Finger", and the two blood-colored rays fell to the roof terrace immediately.

The church believes that there are at most five fourth-stage mimics in the local area. Now one died in the 【House of Resurrection】, one just committed suicide, one went to the Island of Fatumunster, and the other two died in battle at the door of the 【Mimic's House】.

Therefore, although the six people on the roof were ready to go, what actually fell were two third-stage mimics.

One of the most important alienation characteristics is that there are three faces on the head, front, left and right, which leads to very little hair; one of the most important alienation characteristics is that the lower body has four legs, which makes its center of gravity look quite stable.

Although they are third-stage mimics, they are all entangled with floating blood-colored light. Without anyone explaining, Xia De can see that it is the residual power of the 【Mimic's House】 after it split. The remaining mimics want to take these powers away, but they can't run away.

"Young people—Priest, I didn't mean you. Look at what kind of power our Ascetic Society inherits. I haven't acted like this for many years."

Old John said this, and came to the forefront. Above the life ring, the brass enlightenment-colored spirit light bloomed by Enlightenment-【Civilization】 was more dazzling and pure than any enlightenment spirit light Xia De had ever seen.

At this moment, it seemed that all the lights in Tobesk under the night were echoing with Old John's life ring.

They saw a ball of fire held in the right hand raised by the white-haired old man, a fiercely burning fire. In the fire, there were children selling newspapers running, nobles in the parliament debating, female workers in the night factory working, and scientists in the academy burying their heads in research.

The wrench in the mechanic's hand fell, smashing a spark on the pipe; the little girl selling matches struck a flame on the street, showing the brightness of the flame to the guests; the gas street lamp flickered and lit up, illuminating the dark night of the city.

And in that fire, the five people even saw themselves—clergymen, writers, doctors, diviners, and detectives.

That fire was far less powerful than the fire when Xia De performed 【Chaos Residue】, but even Xia De, who possessed the power of the initial fire, admitted that the fire manifested at this moment was so special and powerful.

"Strange Art-Watchfire."

Old John didn't really throw the fire in his hand, but the mimic with four legs on the lower body facing him had already burned. Even if it was entangled with the source power of the 【Mimic's House】, it could not protect it from this fire.

It was burned into black fly ash silently like this. The whole process took less than three seconds, and all Old John did was just lift the fire:

"The Ascetic Society does not draw enlightenment from stories and legends, our power comes from civilization itself."

The reason why he didn't solve the other enemy was to leave it to the five people in the group. And the five people who saw Old John's power were surprised, and also cooperated with each other to attack the three-faced mimic.

The blood light seemed to condense into a sea of blood beside it, and the scarlet tide splashed toward the five people as its companion fell. So Dorothy snapped her fingers, and the sea of blood split to both sides from the center. Xia De and Doctor Schneider rushed forward at the same time, one turned into a bright yellow moonlight cross, and one turned into a black-red ray.

The three-faced mimic's six eyes looked at them at the same time, and the three mouths in three directions opened, wanting to spray blood flow, Luweiya coughed suddenly.

So the three heads also coughed violently, forcibly stopping the spray.

The moonlight cross and the black-red ray passed through its body, but then the body cut into eight pieces healed rapidly in the blood light.

It was just too late, but it wasn't because the doctor used the power of the devil, or Xia De used the 【Black Moon Mark】. Priest Augustus, who was holding the 【Holy Scripture of Eternal Sleep】 brought by Xia De, had already completed the spellcasting. The power of the fourth angel of the ancient death god turned into a two-meter-long black long sword and nailed the three-faced mimic to the terrace.

Such a long sword is of course not for humans, this is a ritual long sword. And as the long sword became invisible under the starry sky, the mimic also disappeared as if erased by an eraser.

In the end, those red lights that escaped after the main body of the 【Mimic's House】 collapsed could not really leave. They were either intercepted by the church's peripheral ambush troops or blocked by "enthusiastic citizens".

While the raging fire in the factory was still burning, the fire of the 【Mimic's House】 had already gone out. Because when the damage reached a certain limit, that strange building dissipated like a bubble in the thick fog of the winter night in Tobesk.

So far, the first major incident "Mimic Disaster" encountered in the Tobesk area in 1855 came to an end. Although a large number of mimics are still hidden in the city, and the mimics buried in the nobles by the 【House of Resurrection】 are like bombs, at least the relic main body disappeared from the local area, which means that the number of mimics will not continue to grow.

Just like a stinking ditch that has become stagnant water, pollution no longer appears continuously, and the people in the Tobesk diocese only need to deal with the existing mimics.

Everyone on the roof didn't stay there for long, and had already left before the church's team arrived.

They went out of the city all the way. Old John originally wanted to invite Xia De and others to visit the sanatorium that had now become a "doomsday base", but it was getting late, so Xia De didn't accept the invitation:

"Let's talk about it next time, Old John... The strange art you used just now is very interesting. Is the Ascetic Society willing to teach it to others?"

The old man waved goodbye to them with the notebook:

"That strange art is not learned, let's discuss it later if there is a chance."

Afterward, the remaining people also said goodbye to each other and went into the city separately. Because they separated, by the time Xia De and Difa returned home, Dorothy, Luweiya, and Xiris had even returned.

Galina was naturally also at home. She greeted Xia De in the foyer and congratulated him on the successful completion of this operation.

"Although it went smoothly, the problem actually shifted to the Island of Fatumunster."

Xia De said this, but Galina pointed out with a smile:

"What does that have to do with it? At least Tobesk is safe. The next one to have a headache is Claire."

Xiris didn't stay here tonight, so Xia De personally sent her back to Randall Valley. Vanessa was waiting for news at the Church of the Forgotten. Seeing the two return safely, she breathed a sigh of relief:

"Just now I was thinking, should I go to Tobesk to see the situation."

Xia De and them exchanged a few more pleasantries and went home. Once the situation on the island gradually became clear, Vanessa and Xiris would soon go to the Island of Fatumunster, and the day of reunion was not far away. ===== CHAPTER 3422 =====
