The Death List Novel - Chapter 55

Chapter 55 A Glimpse
“Your guess is correct. He is the werewolf you brought over!” Qin Lun said indifferently, “After his death, his body slowly recovered its human form. I believe that he should have been alone!”

‘”Perhaps it was a bust captured by the clan …” Bonny said hesitantly.

“Perhaps!” Qin Lun turned around and looked at Bonnie meaningfully.

“Doctor Stan, are you questioning the Albert family’s ability to create half-human beings?” Qin Lun’s strange gaze made Bonnie blush and stare at the doctor angrily.

“Have a good rest!” Qin Lun smiled and moved his gaze away. “You are seriously injured. The witch’s acid missile contains a strong amount of undying toxin. I’m afraid other exorcists will need to use Holy Light magic to purify you!”

Bonny fell heavily on the flat carriage and remained silent.

The intense pain coming from his face made the blonde youth a little distracted. He stretched out his hand to remove the bandage on his face and gently caressed the uneven wound. The touch of his fingers caused his face to twitch.

There will never be that handsome and charming Bonny Albert again! Bonny thought self-deprecatingly.

“Bang!” The carriage jolted violently, and a few corpses stacked beside it slid down, their faces turning over to face Bonny, only a few inches away.

Bonny could only feel two deep bloody holes in Oddo’s eyes, as if he wanted to say something to himself. Little Bly’s eyes reflected a strange luster. The innocent and serene smile on his face was lifelike, as if he had revived.

A strong feeling of suffocation surfaced in his heart. Bonny felt his entire body freeze, and a deep sorrow gushed out uncontrollably. He endured the pain in his heart and reached out to caress his companion’s eyes. He took a deep breath and turned the heads of Oddo and Bly.

Rest in peace, my friends! I will always remember your sacrifices. I am Bonny Albert, the exorcist. No matter what I face, I will always remember the oath of the exorcist to protect the human world and fight all evil until the last breath of my life!

After a long time, Bonny’s deep voice broke the silence on the carriage again.

“Dr. Stan, is the witch dead? What did you find in the witch’s cabin?”

“You and the witch were severely injured at the same time. I gave the witch a final blow and she turned into ashes!” Qin Lun’s faint voice came from the front of the carriage. “There are many magic traps in the witch’s cabin. I didn’t touch those magic tools, but I got the information notes she recorded in this area!”

“Intelligence notes? Is there any record of the epidemic?” Bonny’s eyes lit up as he asked nervously.

“Yes! Actually, I already know the true source of the disease!” After pondering for a while, Qin Lun said, “When we return to the camp, I will inform everyone!”

Bonny fell silent again, but he did not pursue the source of the epidemic. After a while, the blonde youth’s sigh suddenly came from behind the carriage, as if he was muttering to himself.

“Doctor Stan, no matter what, I am first an exorcist and then the successor of the Albert family. I will ask my father for an explanation about the werewolf!”

Hearing Bonny’s sigh, the corner of Qin Lun’s mouth curled up slightly. He flipped his right hand and the Evil Dagger once again hid in his sleeve.

Qin Lun had gained a lot from this adventure. First, he verified the practicality of the combat model for the first time. Although this type of combat model had many limitations, it could still play an enormous role under certain conditions.

Secondly, Qin Lun had obtained the key clues to the “Probe” mission. It could be said that the next mission would be completed naturally, only depending on how far he wanted to go.

The last reward was that Qin Lun finally understood what trump cards he could use against creatures that surpassed the limits of humans like Witch Maya and the Exorcist.

In terms of physical fitness, neither Qin Lun nor Joey could defeat the witches and exorcists. It was difficult to kill a powerful creature like Witch Maya in one blow, and even a sneak attack had no chance of succeeding.

However, regardless of his physical fitness, Qin Lun had another trump card, and that was Joey’s murderous demonic aura. Any kind of life, including intelligent life with a severely degraded beast nature like humans, has the potential to sense the malicious intent of other creatures.

The instant Qin Lun and Joey’s personalities changed, Joey’s ferocious aura of treating life as grass and treating other creatures like ants would instantly intimidate the enemy. Joey had a short counterattack before they could get used to it.

This was the greatest gain Qin Lun had obtained in his battle with the witches.

Qin Lun’s mind sunk into the list of dead. He looked at the items in his storage space and looked at the notifications he had received.

[Moonlight Grass: Potion material, effect unknown, need to be appraised, can be brought into the fragmentary starry sky, exchange price: 50 fragmentary crystals.]

[Demon Eye: Equipment material, function unknown, need to be appraised, can be brought into the fragmentary starry sky, exchange price: 100 fragmentary crystals]

[Golden Silkworm Dust: Potion material, effect unknown, need to be appraised, can be brought into the fragmentary starry sky, exchange price: 200 fragmentary crystals]

[Maya Crystal Ball: Mysterious item, unable to be appraised, but stored in storage space, unable to be brought into the shattered starry sky, unable to be exchanged.]

[Witch’s Note: Quest-related items do not need to be appraised. They can be stored in storage space and cannot be brought into the Broken Star System.]

[Reminder: Apostle 70053, you have received unconfirmed information from the witch’s notes. According to this information, the chances of upgrading the quality of the world storyline to Star Traveller is 78%, and the chances of upgrading to Star World storyline is 42%.]

[Reminder: This information has uncovered the’secret ‘of the satellite-level world plot-the death of Stephen Albert, confirming the information or obtaining the true whereabouts of Stephen, is deemed to have completed the mission.]

[Reminder: The current world exploration rate is about 0.007%. Waiting for the apostles to provide follow-up information.]

In fact, there weren’t as many magic traps in the witch’s cabin as Qin Lun had said. Due to time constraints, Witch Maya had only laid a few simple traps at the entrance of the laboratory. After obtaining the witch’s confession, he could easily break these magic traps.

However, apart from the surveillance notes, there weren’t many other valuable items in the witch’s cabin. In other words, there weren’t many items that could be brought into the shattered starry sky. Qin Lun could not use the witch’s magic tools. Only a few special materials were recognized by the soul mark.

Moonlight Grass was the name used in the Broken Star System. In this world, it was also called Magic Grass. The leaves of this plant were slender and long, emitting a hazy and mysterious light in the storage space. There were a total of more than ten of them.

The Demon Eye was a witch’s casting material. It was refined from the eyeballs of the Swamp Lizard. It was as big as a fist, and the lizard’s narrow pupils shone brightly. It seemed that it still retained the savagery and cunning it had when it was alive.

Golden Silkworm Dust was a silkworm corpse powder. It was also a spell casting material, but in the recognition of the soul imprint, it was a potion material.

As for the Maya Crystal Ball, it was a witch’s magical item. It was used for divination and prophecy. It was also an important magical item that could temporarily preserve one’s soul. Witch Maya used it to preserve and transfer human souls. Its main purpose was to make half-human beings.

After Qin Lun obtained the Maya Crystal Ball, he used it to absorb Frank’s soul according to the witch’s casting steps. At this moment, there was a cloud of mysterious substance inside the crystal ball that was originally translucent and translucent. Threads of gentle light would flash across the ball from time to time, appearing to be very consistent with the characteristics of spiritual body life.

Before the witch was finally freed, Qin Lun had learned that he had to find a suitable body for Frank’s soul as soon as possible. Otherwise, the soul of the hunchbacked servant would grow weaker and weaker until it disappeared.

The reason why the Halflings did not have a complete soul was because the witches purposely erased the memories and emotions of the human soul. On the other hand, the fusion of multiple creatures was not suitable for the human soul, causing the soul to be torn apart during the process of transfer.

According to the witches, if Qin Lun wanted to resurrect Frank perfectly, he had to find a human body similar to his original body in a short period of time. Otherwise, even if he resurrected, he would still be a walking corpse.

The witch told the doctor this information. Of course, she did not do it out of kindness. She hoped that he would make a mistake and fall into the darkness in a hurry. However, Qin Lun had his own thoughts on how to revive Frank. He hoped that he could try another possibility.

Apart from these materials and the Maya Crystal Ball, Qin Lun’s greatest reward for this mission was the witch’s notes. Thinking of the information contained in the witch’s notebook, Qin Lun couldn’t help but take out the notebook from his storage space. He rubbed the cowhide cover of the notebook with his fingers and fell into deep thought.

The witch’s notes recorded what the Mesa witch had seen and heard in this region in the ancient language of this world. Under the translation of the soul imprint, Qin Lun was able to understand the ancient characters of the Witch Age.

Witch Mesa was sent to this area by Witch Maya more than ten years ago to monitor the patrols in the Odia region and the outskirts of the forest. Every once in a while, she would record the situation in this area in the form of notes and report it to the other witches.

Because the Maya witch and the exorcist had signed a thousand-year contract, there was very little contact between the two parties. Most of the information recorded in the notes was a trivial matter. Something like the exorcist sending a scouting squad into the outskirts of Maya Forest could already be considered the most valuable material in the notes.

However, two pieces of information about the trivial matters that Witch Maya thought shocked Qin Lun greatly. One of the pieces of information was about Mesa’s predecessor, the witch before she became a patrol in this area.

The witch’s name was Mary, Mary Clare, and one of the words in the Mayan text meant sobbing, translated in the current language of the world as Nina (Nienna).

This Mary witch’s surname was Stephen’s wife’s!

If Qin Lun hadn’t seen the tombstone that night, he wouldn’t have noticed this piece of information. Even if he had, it would have been just a coincidence. And now …

Under the wheel of fate, there was no chance, only certainty! Even the apostles of the shattered starry sky seemed to have become part of fate as they entered the world!

Qin Lun raised his head, and his deep gaze seemed to pass through the vast Maya Forest and project towards Albert Castle, which was located at the top of Auditoria.
