Transcendent Dawn

Bill Abel is a successful businessman.

Since the federation strongly supported the development of steam power, he saw the timing and used pre-signed contracts and other means to obtain a large amount of high-quality and cheap coal, successfully earning a large sum of gold dragons, and continued to develop since then.

Up to now, he is already a well-known businessman in Niah City, and he is planning to auction off a small coal mine.

But that damn gallery visit had ruined almost everything for him.

He almost trembled at the thought of those mysterious events.

In the face of such a strange existence, an ordinary person has no power to resist at all!

"Fortunately, there is still a church! Thank Goddess!"

After seeing with his own eyes that the Church of the Goddess sealed off the gallery and was taken to the church for several days of observation and "purification" rituals, Bill finally felt a lot more relaxed.

That damned, fatal portrait was finally completely forgotten by him.

Moreover, he also got an address where the pair of exorcist brothers could be contacted.

As soon as he got home, he asked the housekeeper to go to the wine cellar to get a bottle of fine wine, preparing to suppress his shock, while looking at the piece of paper in his hand, which was the address of a certain doll shop, muttering to himself: "Maybe... I should hire some bodyguards, real bodyguards with mysterious power..."

After surviving the gallery for the first time, he suspiciously acquired a puppet that was said to divert bad luck, but it didn't do much.

Although he was not killed on the spot like Mr. Gilbert, he was still taken back to the gallery like Mrs. Xiling.

If he hadn't met Sulu, he would have died.

"It is impossible for the church to send people for a long time for a small person like me, but those two brothers seem to be able to..."

"Hmm... at the beginning, you have to approach him cautiously and politely, and gradually gain a good impression."

As a businessman's intuition, he immediately felt the value of mysterious power and Brother Rhodes.

Among other things, if we meet again next time, it will be the hope of saving lives!

After drinking red wine and feeling better, Bill sat in the study and began to think about the coal mine auction.

At this moment, his eyes changed.

An uncontrollable desire that seemed to come from the bottom of his heart made his hand that was holding the pen start to tremble.

He quickly and violently swept the report in front of him to the ground, picked up a brand new blank paper, and began to draw an image - it was a portrait of a middle-aged man with goat's horns and a pair of mysterious pupils .

Because there was no paint, Bill bit his finger and dyed the man's eyes scarlet.

This is the portrait of the devil!

"Ho Ho!"

When this was all done, Bill collapsed on a chair, foaming at the mouth, clutching his throat.

After a long time, he recovered, as if he had forgotten about it, randomly stuffed the portrait into a pile of documents, tidied up the desk, and went to sleep in the bedroom.

True horror, not blocked at all.

Instead, it spread again through another mysterious channel!

Anyone who has seen a portrait of a demon will be cursed, without exception!

At this time, Sulu and Rhodes didn't know this at all.

...

Seven days later.

Sulu walked into a private detective agency.

"Hi, may I help you?"

At the front desk, a blond secretary received him.

"I'm here to find Detective Fatima Muntari, I've made an appointment with her," Sulu said.

"Is that Mr. Botley? Detective Muntari is waiting for you in the office." The female secretary suddenly said, and led him into an office.

Thick documents were piled up on the desk, and behind the desk sat a tall, red-haired girl wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

More intellectual beauty: "Mr. Botley, you are here!"

At this time, she stood up and shook hands with Sulu: "We have already reached a result regarding your commission."

"Say it!"

Sulu sat on the sofa and took the document from Fatima.

"Mr. Botley has entrusted two missions in total, both of which are tracing missions, but we can do nothing about the first mission, the whereabouts of Miss Beatrice Taylor. We only know that she has become a felon wanted by the entire federal government. It seems to have fled to the west of the Federation..."

Fatima said regretfully: "The other party is extremely dangerous, I don't recommend that Mr. continue to investigate..."

In fact, in order to complete this single task, she has already been under a lot of pressure.

"What about the second person?"

Sulu asked noncommittally.

"Mr. Kira Gales, he recently finished a scientific expedition and is staying in Posey Harbor with the scientific research ship "White Bird". The time is uncertain! The address of his residence is in the file."

This task is very easy, after all, Mr. Kira Gales is a famous person, and his whereabouts can be tracked.

"Port Posey?"

Sulu nodded thoughtfully. This is the largest trading port in the Federation, and there is also a landmark building - the 100-meter-high Goddess of Light Memorial Tower.

He looked at the document and showed a smile: "I am very satisfied with your service, this is the agreed remuneration!"

After speaking, he took out his pocket, took out three golden dragons and handed them over: "One belongs to Beatrice, and two belong to Kira."

"Glad you are satisfied!"

Fatima got up and sent Sulu to the door of the detective office very politely.

"It seems... I should go to Kira Gales first to get the career follow-up of [Psychic Medium].

"Beatrice is so tough, she can persist for so long under the siege of the Federation... Her strength is definitely beyond my imagination. Although I am very embarrassed, I still hope that she will be directly eliminated by the Federation, so as to save me trouble in the future." up. '

Sulu returned to the doll's house while thinking wildly.

Suddenly, his eyes froze, his face showed vigilance, and his inspiration opened.

The doll shop was empty, a counter with dolls fell down, and various dolls were scattered all over the place.

At the door, several police officers maintained order, and there was a circle of onlookers around.

"what happened?"

Sulu's eyes were fixed, and inspiration noticed the wall.

On it, with bright red blood, wrote a few words - 'We found you! '

"Who are you looking for? Me? Rhodes? Or Sean!"

He didn't go in to identify himself, but left directly to the abandoned factory that only he and Rhodes knew.

This is their base camp. The Doll's House is just a contact point, and even Sean doesn't know it.

As soon as he entered the gate, he saw Rhodes in full armor, his eyes fixed: "Are you here? Who is it?"

Sulu suddenly remembered that Rhodes didn't come to Niah City to visit his relatives, but because he had some troubles in his hometown.

But I have a lot of things, and Rhodes is unwilling to make it clear, so he didn't ask in detail. Anyway, it is probably related to an evil organization.

Now it seems that Rhodes has caused a lot of trouble, and everyone has chased him here.

"It's the Black Death Club!"

Rhodes was loading the shotgun, and Wen Yan replied in a slow tone: "That's a group of lunatics who believe that death is the ultimate destination, like to spread diseases and plagues, and cause appalling tragedies!"

"I destroyed their branch a few times. The page of the magic book and the later ritual of the [Doomed One] were taken at that time. From a book called "Rite of Death"..."

"They worship death, and the "Rite of Death" is their sacred object, so they chased me like a hyena... Unexpectedly, they finally came here."

"This is my business, I will solve it myself!"
