On the outskirts of Tingen, in a house with a green lawn.
It had a garden that had begun to wither in early September, and a dark red chimney.
Behind the bedroom window of the house was a study table, and on it was an ordinary notebook.
A pale hand flipped the notebook to the first page, and then it flipped back quickly.
Amidst the rustling of the paper, the lines of text appeared faintly.
"Due to fatigue and hallucinations, the Secret Order's member, Regence, mistakenly sold the Antigonus family's notebook as an ordinary ancient book. This is a logical coincidence."
"Due to the summoning of the Antigonus family's bloodline, the notebook secretly influenced its owners one by one. It passed through many hands and landed in the hands of the Aurora Order's members, Sirius Arpis and Hanass Vincent."
"After flipping through the contents of the notebook and copying the corresponding potion formula, Sirius and Hanass were worried that the Secret Order, who was good at divination, would track them down. After some discussion, they decided not to take the risk and sold the notebook to someone else."
"They didn't wait for Mr. Z's reply. Perhaps it was because he lived in Enmat Harbor."
"Through Sirius's introduction, Hanass got to know Khoy University's history student, Welch McGovern, and sold the Antigonus family's notebook to him as an ordinary ancient book."
"After that, Sirius was attracted by the treasure that might exist on the main peak of the Hornacis mountain. He began entering Deweyville's library and flipped through the relevant information. He didn't think that there was anything wrong with leaving his real address and name. This was very in line with his character."
"It was during this process that he got to know Lanevus, who was flipping through information on iron mines in an attempt to commit fraud."
"Lanevus's hidden madness and cunning impressed Sirius greatly. He decided to recruit him as a member of the Aurora Order. Of course, before that, an examination was unavoidable."
"Sirius secretly revealed the evil ritual to the True Creator to bestow a descendant to Lanevus, but he knew that the chances of success were very low. This was because the ritual was extremely difficult and had stringent requirements. And Lanevus expressed a strong interest in it. He was extremely tempted by the reward he might receive from the gods, so he planned to complete the ritual while building the steel company."
"The cunning Lanevus could tell that there was something wrong with Sirius Arpis, but he didn't expose him for his own goals."
"He visited Hood Eugen in the asylum again. They've known each other for a long time and know each other's situation."
"After a dark divination, the power of the Antigonus family's notebook was completely awakened. Welch and his classmates died. The survivor, Klein Moretti, was driven by the notebook and sent it to Ray Bieber's house. This was the destined outcome."
(Many lines have been blotted out, and new ones follow):
"What's puzzling, and what lacks sufficient reason, is that Klein didn't commit suicide and successfully survived."
"Through Welch's case, he got to know Dunn Smith and joined the Nighthawks."
"Although this exceeds Ince Zangwill's description, it doesn't seem to affect the development of the story."
"Bacchus and his brothers had bad luck. They lost all their chips at the gambling table and owed a lot of money. They decided to kidnap and blackmail a rich merchant."
"When they were choosing their final hiding spot, they coincidentally saw the room opposite Ray Bieber's house."
"At this time, Ray Bieber had already been attracted by the power of the Antigonus family's notebook. He hoped to digest the gift from his ancestors."
"However, in his half-crazed state, he didn't make the best and safest choice. He abandoned his dead mother, but he still stayed in Tingen City. He only found a more secluded place to hold the digestion ritual. How tragic. If he was a little smarter, this story would be even more complicated. However, his choice was also consistent with his state and hidden logic."
"Bacchus and his men bought weapons and targeted the tobacco merchant, Vickroy's youngest son, Elliot."
"Finally, they successfully carried out the kidnapping and brought Elliot to the house opposite Ray Bieber's house. Vickroy's old butler, Klee, accepted his master's request and began seeking help from a security company."
"Due to Welch's death, there was a shortage of manpower in the security companies and the private detective industry. Klee happened to meet a waiter who delivered food, and he coincidentally learned of the existence of the Blackthorn Security Company."
"Leonard Mitchell and Klein accepted the request, and with their Beyonder powers, they quickly rescued Elliot. Unfortunately, Klein didn't immediately discover the clues leading to the Antigonus family's notebook."
"However, his spirituality reminded him in his dream. The Tingen Nighthawks had obtained the corresponding clues."
…
"Sealed Artifact 2-049 arrived in Tingen. With the help of the Antigonus family's puppet, Dunn Smith led the Nighthawks to Ray Bieber and interrupted his digestion process."
"Ray Bieber turned into a monster, and the situation spiraled out of control."
"Finally, the Nighthawks, who were adept at cooperating, dealt with Monster Bieber. However, they were immediately attacked by the members of the Secret Order."
(Many lines were scribbled, making it difficult to read the original content.)
"Leonard, who was hiding a secret, was about to end the matter without any doubts. However, Klein, who was supposed to be dead, once again inexplicably killed a Sequence 7 member of the Secret Order."
"This didn't affect the development of the story.
"This didn't affect the development of the story. Dunn Smith came into contact with the Antigonus family's notebook and flipped through its contents. He was secretly corrupted!"
…
"After completing all the preparations, Lanevus bewitched Hood Eugen and got him to help him hold a ritual. He tricked his fiancée, Megose, into becoming a vessel to give birth to the True Creator's child."
"Lanevus had almost no chance of success. The most serious problem was that even with the protection of the ritual's power, Megose wouldn't be able to withstand the intercourse with the illusory projection of a deity. This would cause her to die on the altar."
"At this time, the kind-hearted Ince Zangwill secretly helped Lanevus. He split half of the characteristics of Death's descendants that he had gathered and implanted them into Megose's body ahead of time."
"Hood Eugen made Megose enter a semi-conscious state, making her treat the illusory projection of the True Creator as Lanevus. Under the nourishment of the accumulated resentment in the factory area, and the materialized darkness and oppression, the ritual was a success. Megose became pregnant with the True Creator's child. This deity saw the coincidence, but he didn't reject it as he wished to break through the seal of the seven deities."
"Hood Eugen was infected."
"After the ritual was a success, the crazy Lanevus regained his rationality. He knew very well that if the deity's child were to be born in the real World, he would become one of the sacrifices. How could a mortal become the father of a deity's child? This was a great blasphemy! "
"Lanevus decided to leave Tingen ahead of time. He told the Nighthawks, Mandated Punishers, and Machinery Hivemind about this' bomb 'so that they could resolve any future problems for him. There's always a price to pay for madness."
"However, Lanevus didn't directly write a letter to the Beyonder teams. He felt that it would make him look like an idiot."
"He decided to leave the letter in one of the houses he rented and pretended to play a game with the official Beyonders. For this reason, he didn't warn Hood Eugen about the problem of being infected. At the same time, he took away all his gains."
"To be safe, he even informed Sirius Arpis of the situation in a safe manner. The latter didn't quite believe it, but he felt that there was a chance of success."
…
"Selena Wood coincidentally and coincidentally saw the true incantation for magic mirror divination from her mysticism teacher, Hanass Vincent."
"Her bold attempt happened to encounter Klein Moretti. The latter successfully resolved this supernatural case that could have resulted in heavy casualties."
"The Nighthawks used this to find Hanass Vincent, but this Aurora Order member had just been rewarded for his success. Therefore, Dunn Smith coincidentally saw a clear image of the True Creator in his dream and suffered a great deal of damage."
"However, he wasn't infected because of this. This would have been noticed by the upper echelons of the Nighthawks."
"This injury caused Dunn Smith's infection from the Antigonus family's notebook to worsen. His symptoms of absent-mindedness and omissions intensified. He would slowly fulfill Ince Zangwill's request."
…
(Many lines were crossed out again.)
"It's unbelievable! Klein Moretti sensed Ince Zangwill's secret influence and saw the dark red chimney. "
"Th-this was because of the warning from Khoy University's History faculty, Aztec. He had many secrets on him."
"But even so, it's surprising enough that Klein was able to discover specific clues. It's something that can't be explained."
"Regardless of the reason, Ince Zangwill didn't stop his actions. The story continues."
"Klein encountered Sirius in the library and couldn't hold back in killing him. Thus, the clues regarding Lanevus's matter were cut in half. The discovery of the problem was delayed and pushed back."
…
"Klein encountered Megose, but his spirituality prevented him from investigating. Furthermore, he didn't notice the subtle abnormality afterward. This is very logical. Our story isn't fabricated."
"He gathered information about the red chimney, but he would always choose a route that didn't include the target. Perhaps he would only discover the real red chimney house two or three months later, when he was in the last batch."
…
(Line after line of text was crossed out. It was more than the previous lines combined.)
"Dunn Smith's problem has been alleviated! His condition is clearly improving! He has actually mastered the 'acting method'! "
"And this was taught to him by Klein Moretti. He found inspiration from the examples of Daly Simone and Old Neil. No, Ince Zangwill didn't believe it, but he could only change his original plan slightly."
"There's a new twist in the story."
"To search for his past memories, Aztec decided to head to Baekeland."
"It didn't take long. Klein and Dunn obtained clues from Hood Eugen."
…
"Madam Sharon decided to take the risk to kill Member of Parliament John Maynard in order to make Tingen City's Conservative Party and New Party completely go against each other. In order to vent the madness that she accumulated after her transformation, she decided to take the risk."
"Her reason wasn't sufficient, and her motive wasn't strong enough, but she still took action. Everyone has moments when they aren't clear-headed enough. She was at that stage, and she was confident that she wouldn't be discovered."
"Member of Parliament Maynard's wife found the Blackthorn Security Company through the tobacco merchant, Vickroy. They didn't let her down and quickly discovered Madam Sharon's abnormality."
"Dunn, who had strength close to Sequence 6, decided to take the initiative and gave Sealed Artifact 3-0271 to Kenley for him to use."
"The two of them and Klein returned to Madam Sharon. Dunn attempted to control the target by dragging her into a dream."
"That wasn't a problem, but unfortunately, Madam Sharon happened to place the statue of the Primordial Demoness beside her."
"Hence, the Nighthawks' plan failed. In his nervousness, Kenley reflected on himself and saw himself."
"Madam Sharon was taken care of, and Kenley was dead. Dunn blamed himself, and he consumed the Beyonder characteristic left behind by her as usual. His digestion process was interrupted, and he became stagnant. His mental state became rather unstable."
"Under such circumstances, Leonard and Klein discovered the letter left behind by Lanevus."
"Megose received an inexplicable summon and came to Zouteland Street. She entered the Blackthorn Security Company, and the baby in her womb was in a critical period, so she wasn't able to stop her impulses."
"Dunn made detailed and correct arrangements, but he made one mistake. If he was determined to get rid of Megose immediately, it would have been best to lure her behind Chanis Gate and use the environment and items to fight. If he was planning to wait for reinforcements, he definitely couldn't have taken out Saint Selena's ashes."
"Unfortunately, due to the recent events, Dunn, who was in a bad state of mind and in a daze, didn't think of an important point in his anxiety. The child of a deity could sense the threat of the saint's ashes. Hence, the child was agitated and began to absorb the power of the mother's body, attempting to be born prematurely, even if it wasn't considered to be fully mature."
"Aztec was in Baekeland, and since he wasn't a Planeswalker, it would be difficult for him to rush back in such a short period of time."
(A few lines were scribbled out)
"Megose became a monster, and the battle began. With the saint's ashes, Blood Vessel Thief, and the strange appearance of high-level charms, Megose died, and the child of a deity was expelled. Dunn Smith died as a result, and the power of Saint Selena's ashes was severely damaged. This perfectly matched Ince Zangwill's plan."
"Ince Zangwill didn't get the chance to perform, but that didn't stop him from accomplishing his goal."
"He killed Klein Moretti, a fellow who always caused problems in his plans, and took away Saint Selena's ashes."
"Ince Zangwill used the remaining characteristics of a descendant of Death to set up a ritual and consumed Saint Selena's ashes. He successfully advanced from Sequence 5 Gatekeeper of the Death pathway to Sequence 4 Nightwatcher of the Evernight pathway. As a result, he obtained godhood and became a demigod."
"The Sun continued shining on the land. Almost no one in Tingen City realized that they had luckily avoided a huge disaster. Monster Ade Misol would be very puzzled by this."
He flipped to the last page of the notebook. A middle-aged man with dark gold hair, a pair of dark blue pupils, a tall nose, tightly pursed lips, and a face as deep as a statue, without the slightest wrinkles, solemnly picked up a classic quill with his slightly pale hand. He did not touch the quill with ink, but he still wrote the words clearly.
He simply said, "Don't worry about it.
"The story of Tingen City ends here."
