Though Klein made use of the Clown’s ability to maintain a normal expression on his face, his heart was already in shock, even tinged with a touch of panic.
But now he couldn’t provoke her; he had to think of a way to notify the captain first.
All the extraordinaries in Tingen combined would probably have a hard time dealing with this situation now!
But he had to remain calm.
"I suddenly feel like talking about Lanerus with you."
Megose suddenly beamed brightly downstairs, which made Klein and Leonard both feel like they were sitting on pins and needles.
Klein turned to look at Leonard, then glanced at Tao Yu, and finally let out a sigh.
"I’ll talk with her; you guys go to work, don’t be late..."
Leonard wasn’t pretentious; he directly dragged Tao Yu and left.
Going to work? Just like that, they’ve been conscripted?
But Tao Yu didn’t resist. While seeing Klein inviting Megose in, he brushed past her.
It wasn’t until Leonard had pulled Tao Yu a distance from the hotel that he quickly lowered his voice and said,
"There’s big trouble. That woman has an offspring of an Evil God inside her! If we don’t handle it well, the whole of Tingen might be destroyed!"
Initially, Tao Yu also knew that there was a problem with the woman and that it was a big trouble, but he never thought it would be this serious, which made him jump with fright.
Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?
I didn’t feel it was that intense.
Is the power in this world so sick?
"Not yet, it’s still gestating, not yet born, but it is absorbing the resentment of those deceased workers from the factories, gathering the negativity of the entire city, and it will become stronger and stronger!"
Leonard’s words made Tao Yu nod somewhat understandingly.
Actually, this path also suits me quite well, negativity...
Why did I choose Assassin back then? Isn’t that name a trap?
"I’m going to find Heart of Mechanism and Punisher now, and you must go to Captain Dunn immediately and explain the situation! We need to be quick, and according to what I told you..."
"Will he believe me?"
"That’s why I’m going to find other Churches. Captain Dunn has seen you before. If you explain clearly, he will understand the seriousness of the situation."
Hearing this, Tao Yu nodded, roughly understanding the other’s meaning.
As of now, Tao Yu’s knowledge of the extraordinary was still seriously lacking.
But he still felt that the sense of crisis that woman gave him before wasn’t as exaggerated.
Anyway, it definitely wasn’t like the guy who felt so ancient when he killed Zilinges.
"Can this thing really kill tens of thousands in the entire city? Some kind of application of rules?"
Tao Yu quickly parted ways with Leonard, and then headed to Zoterland Street as directed by him, seeing the sign for Blackthorn Security Company.
Other than Dunn knowing him, one reason he was sent to notify the Nightwatcher was the close proximity of the location!
It could be said to be the nearest official extraordinary organization.
Coincidentally, it seemed that Dunn had just finished something and was at the hall. Seeing Tao Yu appear, he seemed to frown and then showed wariness.
Tao Yu hurriedly said,
"Captain Dunn, don’t misunderstand, it’s me, I’m here to deliver a message..."
Tao Yu thoroughly relayed what Klein and Leonard had said, causing Dunn’s expression to turn unsightly.
The detailed knowledge about Megose was indeed not likely to be fabricated!
Dunn never would have thought that the ’bomb’ left by that guy would be so massive!
An offspring of an Evil God, how long had it been since such a major event occurred?
The lives of tens of thousands in Tingen suddenly weighed on his shoulders, making it hard for him to breathe.
But he quickly steadied himself, as if he had made some determination, and slowly exhaled,
"Thank you for your trouble. I will apply for the main materials you desire."
Dunn’s words brought a slight brightness to Tao Yu’s eyes.
The message wasn’t in vain.
"Not at all, this is what I should do."
"It’s going to be dangerous later, you stay here. If any other Nightwatchers come back, notify them for me. I’ve already ordered the evacuations of the civilians."
Having said that, he immediately spoke to a receptionist lady at the front desk,
"Rosanne, notify all the ordinary clerical staff to take the day off, and evacuate immediately."
The receptionist girl seemed to be frightened, nodding her head repeatedly.

"Is Captain Dunn going to ask for reinforcements? The enemy has exceeded our capabilities, hasn’t it?"
Now that he had main materials credited to his account, Tao Yu said ’us’ with every other breath.
"There’s no time. I’ll take the Sealing Techniques with me."
Dunn turned around and walked toward the depths of the company. He had asked Tao Yu to stay put, but Tao Yu had no idea what he was going to do inside.
He only knew that his footsteps were rushed, yet exceptionally heavy.
It wasn’t long before Dunn was seen holding an urn as he hurriedly walked out.
The urn, appearing to be made of silver, exuded a chill even from a distance, making Tao Yu feel cold just by being near it.
"Another object with negative attributes? An extraordinary item? It’s so ’The Underworld’... Is it from the Church of the True God?"
Actually, when Dunn used the dream on him, Tao Yu had already sensed something.
The abilities of the extraordinaries from the Church of the Night might also be considered negative.
This, however, slightly relieved Tao Yu. In times of absolute necessity, his own powers, as seen by the Church of the Night, should not be too evil, right?
"It seems in this world, it really doesn’t matter the nature of the power, but the action. Negative power used for the right cause is divine!"
As he passed by Tao Yu, Dunn’s grey eyes looked at him and nodded,
"... I hope you can always adhere to your true self, which is also the common pursuit of us extraordinaries..."
When he heard Dunn’s words, Tao Yu, who was smiling and seeing him off, was slightly startled.
Although what Dunn said was simple, Tao Yu vaguely sensed a farewell, a determination to face death head-on.
"What is that thing he’s carrying..."
Tao Yu stood at the doorway of Blackthorn Security Company, watching one clerical staff after another emerge from behind him and swiftly leave, spreading through the streets in all directions, shaking his head at the sight of Dunn, undeterred with the urn in hand,
"Being alive is valuable, ah, death takes everything away..."
He could feel that the official organization of extraordinaries was created to protect ordinary people from the influence of extraordinary things.
And a captain, whose condition seemed not much different from his current normal state and who could only be considered from a backwater city compared to Becland, what else could he do to stop a spawn of an Evil God besides using his own life?
Even Tao Yu felt that praying to his black mud could put his own life in danger.
For them, it was the difference between life and death...
After hesitating for a moment, Tao Yu took out the materials he had just bought and quickly set up a ritual in a corner, creating a Spiritual Wall that sealed off the area.
"The Fool, out of time..."
"... now faced with such an event..."
After Tao Yu finished praying, he waited quietly without getting any response...
Klein’s chest was pierced by a distorted, twisted palm, and he spat out huge mouthfuls of plasma and fragments of viscera.
Even then, Klein endured the intense pain throughout his body. Using The Fool’s control, he locked his legs around Megose in a scissor hold, using the wound on his chest and his broken ribs as an anchor, and with one hand, he managed to secure a cross hold on Megose.
His free hand clutched an amulet.
Struggling to speak with his blood-filled mouth, he uttered his last word,
All the Spirituality in his body poured into the amulet. The sunlight descended like a solid pillar from the sky, using Klein’s corpse as a guide, and struck Megose with force.
The cry of a baby sounded as the solid sunlight managed to hit and wound Megose, but it was still blocked by a vile, corrupting power!
With a casual flick of Megose’s hand, Klein’s battered corpse was sent flying and landed heavily in front of the hurriedly arriving Dunn...
He really had delayed them...
