The Death List Novel - Chapter 64

Chapter 64 Plugging Leakage
In fact, Qin Lun had another purpose in splitting up the nine exorcists. In the doctor’s conjecture, once the Albert family was forced into a desperate situation, if they were completely reckless, it was very likely that they would erupt with a power that no one could imagine.

Therefore, Qin Lun displayed a strong side, winning the support of a few exorcists for himself, and possessing a few thick meat shields became the top priority. In his heart, a life and death battle with Witch Maya was enough.

A madman who had left society for most of his life and lived in prisons and psychiatric hospitals slowly learned to use his heart as a mirror and words as a tool. He was rapidly growing into a true psychologist who played with people’s hearts.

Compared to Qin Lun who had seen through Hansen’s malicious intentions in the past, the two of them had almost lost their maturity in the end. It could be said that Qin Lun had improved a lot.

Qin Lun and the five exorcists quickly passed through the upper echelons of the main castle. However, when they entered the middle hall of the main castle, they finally stopped.

The hall on this floor was huge, and it was the banquet hall that had just been hosting the exorcists. At this moment, more than ten servants of Albert Castle had gathered in the hall, including Laura, Elizabeth, Miller, and the old butler Jason. The one standing at the front of the crowd was Baron Albert, who had just escaped from the Judgment Hall.

“Baron, surrender. Don’t involve anyone else in the castle. The Exorcist organization will give you a fair trial!” Qin Lun took two steps forward, stroked his chest with his right hand, bowed elegantly, and said with a smile, “But first, please allow me to thank you for taking care of him during this period of time!”

“Hypocrisy, I won’t hand master over to someone like you!” The old housekeeper, Jason, opened his eyes in anger as he lined up and pounced on the ground.

“Jason, no!” Baron Albert was shocked and wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

Chi! The old butler Jason’s black gown burst open. The body beneath the gown expanded at a visible rate. His face was covered with thick gray hair. His mouth protruded forward, his canine teeth and fingernails grew long, and his pupils constricted, turning into vertical pupils.

“Ao!” The boiling power and violence in its body caused it to roar towards the sky and let out a long howl of a wolf. Normally, the refined and well-mannered old butler had turned into a two-meter tall, muscular human wolf. The huge canine teeth and sharp fingernails that dripped with saliva sparkled under the lights of the banquet hall.

“An intelligent werewolf?!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he muttered to himself, “It’s not a magical creature, there’s no sign of artificial modification … I understand, this is a mutation in my gene, and it’s also the last puzzle I lacked!”

“Bang!” The old butler Jason turned into a grey human wolf and squatted on his legs. He suddenly turned into a swift black shadow and pounced towards Qin Lun.

Qin Lun lowered his head and muttered to himself as if he had not noticed the werewolf’s attack at all. However, a figure flashed out from behind him and flew towards the grey werewolf that the old butler had turned into.

“Bang, bang, bang!” A dull sound of continuous collisions could be heard in the air, and the two figures separated as soon as they touched each other.

“Woo!” The werewolf let out a mournful cry and flew out horizontally. Its enormous body slid far away from the ground of the banquet hall, and one of its arms folded back at an abnormal angle, hanging limply by its side.

“Lord Jason!” The maids in the castle cried out in alarm and stepped forward to help the werewolf up. Many male servants let out low roars. Their eyes were slightly red, and they seemed to be unable to control their emotions.

In the opposite direction from the werewolf, a figure tumbled down from the sky and knelt on one knee in front of Qin Lun. This was an exorcist youth with leather gloves and black iron finger tigers on his hands. He had silver hair that matched his ears, and his golden eyes flickered with a cold and fierce light.

“Your name?” Qin Lun smiled and squatted down. He took out a silk handkerchief from his bosom and handed it to the silver-haired youth.

“Lima, Lima of the Bolts, Sir Stan!” A ripple flashed through the silver-haired youth’s golden pupils. He took the silk handkerchief and wiped away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth. After a pause, he raised his head and said, “My father died of an epidemic disease a month ago …”

“Lima, let’s put an end to this calamity together and let your father rest in heaven!” Qin Lun smiled warmly and reached out to pull Lima. Suddenly, he turned to the other two exorcists behind him and asked, “Where are your names?”

“Andre Jacques (Jamie Moore) is willing to fight alongside you!” The two exorcists behind Qin Lun exchanged glances, stroked their chests, bowed, and respectfully replied.

“Those might be werewolves and other magical creatures. Their numbers are several times ours! Are you afraid?” Qin Lun smiled and pointed at the dozen or so servants and Albert’s family.

“Sir Stan, we will not cripple the public service because of selfishness like some people. All evil creatures should be ruthlessly annihilated!” Lima clenched his fists with leather gloves and his thin face became even colder and more solemn.

Hearing Lima’s words, the other two exorcists hiding outside the banquet hall sighed bitterly. They walked into the banquet hall together and stood far behind Qin Lun and the others. They could choose to be neutral between Qin Lun and the Albert family, but they could not sit idly by and watch the werewolves kill their companions. Otherwise, it would be no different from betraying them.

“All of you, step down. The Albert Clan has given you strength, not to fight against the exorcists.” Baron Albert roared at the servants and glared at them until they calmed down. Then he turned around and walked towards Qin Lun alone. “Doctor Stan, it seems that I underestimated you. You must have arranged for the townspeople under the castle!”

“Baron, have you figured it out?” Qin Lun narrowed his eyes.

‘”Yes, there’s no need to fight for me alone. I’m coming with you. Please calm the angry townsfolk down and don’t let them ruin the reputation of Albert Castle and the Albert Clan for hundreds of years.” Baron Albert said bitterly.

“Of course, but besides you, I have to take another member of the Albert Family with me!” The corners of Qin Lun’s mouth curved upwards, and his eyes shone with a fierce light.

‘”Another member” Baron Albert frowned and suddenly realized, “Are you referring to my son, Stephen Albert? Alright … he’s being held at the very bottom of the Military Vice Fort. Perhaps you already know that he … has become a werewolf!”

“Apostle 70053, you have obtained the exact whereabouts of Stephen Albert. You meet the requirements for completing the satellite-level storyline quest ‘Secret Exploration’. The basic quest reward has been given to the storage space. The World Exploration reward will be settled upon returning to the shattered starry sky.”

[Prompt: Apostle 70053 has completed his first guidance mission. He can return to the shattered starry sky at any time. No storyline characters are required to be present in a non-combat state!]

[Reminder: According to the apostle’s current information, there is still the possibility of improving the storyline quality of a satellite-level storyline. Upgrading to a star traveller-level storyline has increased to 92%, and upgrading to a star-level storyline to 71%. Once the storyline quality is successfully upgraded, the world exploration reward and mission evaluation will be greatly increased!]

Looking at the notification from the death list, Qin Lun’s face finally relaxed. He grinned and revealed a neat white tooth.

“No, no, no! The other Albert I’m talking about isn’t Stephen Albert!” Qin Lun gracefully smiled, “It’s the one you’ve been trying your best to hide and protect!”

“Doctor Stan, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Baron Albert’s heart sank, and a dangerous glint appeared in his eyes. “Where are Nova and Myr? I want to see them!”

“We’re here!” Nova, Myr, and Bonny appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall. They finally arrived.

“Nova, take me away. I won’t run anymore. I believe the Exorcist headquarters will give me a fair trial.” Baron Albert pointed at the castle servants behind him with a gloomy gaze and said calmly, “However, please let them go. They are only servants who have signed a magic contract with me. They are all good helpers of the exorcists and have never harmed ordinary humans.”

“We believe you, but …” Nova and Myr looked at each other and nodded. “Doctor Stan, do you have any other questions?”

Qin Lun turned around and looked meaningfully at Nova and Myr. The doctor had always smiled like a spring breeze, but in their eyes, he was like the face of a devil.

“Miss Nova, Sir Myr, our focus is not on capturing Baron Albert, but on eliminating this epidemic disaster in the Odia region, right?”

“That’s right, but if you want to threaten us with this …” Myr’s face darkened.

“No, I know you guys have your own principles. I just want you to listen quietly!” Qin Lun turned around and bowed to the silent Bonny with regret. “Sir Bonny, please forgive me. You didn’t have to make a choice so early! Fortunately, from today onwards, you and your descendants will no longer have to bear the sorrow of the Albert family!”

“Wellington Stan, what exactly do you know?” Baron Albert’s pupils shrank as he asked solemnly.

“Originally, I only had a few conjectures, but now, I am certain that I found the last piece of the puzzle just now!” Qin Lun walked to the window and looked at the fire dragon below the castle that was already close to the stone bridge. He slowly spoke.

“Baron, you’ve been covering for someone, a culprit who caused a terrible plague in the Audi region!”

“Nonsense!” Baron Albert trembled with anger.

“Whether I’m spouting nonsense or not, I’ll leave it to you and everyone else to judge!” Qin Lun glanced at Baron Albert indifferently. “Of course, perhaps even you don’t realize what that person is doing. The whole thing begins when I arrive at Albert Castle!”
