"You're joining us?" Paulina was taken aback, and Esme Crane twisted her head in surprise to look at Anna.

"It's that octavo case, isn't it?"

Who was it? Surprisingly, she couldn't remember.

"How come Prohibition didn't last another ten or eight years, now that it's been reinstated, these drunks have really increased with a vengeance."

Esme Crane felt the air a little dull and wanted to start a conversation to break the mood of the moment. But Anna did not look in a good mood, and she had the good sense to keep her mouth shut.

Paulina saw the black under her eyes and thought of how busy she had been in recent days, working day and night, and felt a little distressed for a moment and said.

"Captain Paulina you are too kind, you are older than me, just call me Anna."

Coldly just then there was a knock at the door of the dormitory, followed by Paulina's cry of

She was just about to put away the partnership agreement when she suddenly noticed a cheque for 500 gold clipped to it.Pau

    "You're not being followed, are you?" James asked cautiously. "It is expected that he will choose to lurk during the day and escape at nightfall until curfew. We split up into two groups, one watching the traffic routes to the northwest, which is here in Torrington Town. One group is keeping an eye on the route to the south, as this guy seems to be connected to the indigenous religion of the Underdark." "James, it's me." The red-nosed man pretending to be a postman pulled down his mask to reveal his face and spoke out. "Hunter Valkyrie is also my fighting instructor, over 80% of the regiment's personnel were taught by her. She's on the front lines at the moment, and in a few days the chief will be returning to the front lines, when she will return to Zocta on duty to assist us in holding down the regiment. It will only be a few days before you will see her." Bella, Louis Holmes and Polaris were uncharacteristically pondering this question, James suddenly flipped open the Book of Se

    Esme Crane took note of the drunk, a tall, strong man with very short shaved blond hair, blond eyelashes and stubble, green eyes drooping lazily, a brown stand-up trench coat and a slightly worn yarmulke, and a very handsome appearance. He didn't look like a local from this suburban township, but somehow he was here to get drunk. Louis Holmes glanced at Esme Crane and then at Anna, not uttering a word in retort for a moment, while Paulina next to her had the odd look of someone who wanted to laugh but was holding it in. "Are you guys sure the item in that package is the Book of Secret Words?" Anna asked before she could. Bella used her spirit to scout the house and there was no one in it. But the upper floor was occupied, so they moved up one floor, which was occupied by a thirty-year-old coal mining company employee, well-mannered in appearance, but judging by the rumpled shirt and pants he wore, it was assumed he was either single or a widower. The barkeeper said that Paddington

    The crowd had a lot of questions, and if they all asked them, it would have been rather confusing for Blinken to answer them. So they stopped asking questions and listened to Blinken's story. Bella skillfully used her mental powers to question this neighbor and received this response. The neighbors thought it was so strange, but the little girl was so pink and beautiful that she gave the old couple great comfort, which couldn't be said to be a bad thing. It was not long after this contact that something happened to the Cook family of three. On an obsidian day in the late autumn of November 1856, the sad news came out of the blue that the old couple had been bitten alive by their own young daughter, who seemed to have hatched and broken something out of her body, and the entire human muscles, internal organs and skeleton had disappeared, leaving only a torn layer of human skin. In 1851 when the old Cooke tree blossomed, the couple, who were fifty years old, were surprised to have a

    Esme Crane pondered for a moment, and gave his opinion: "I have connected so many clues, and introduced a general warp and woof. I will say a few words and ask for corrections." And she had learned from books about the customs of this world, and in the midst of such a society that prized stability, the union of men and women for reproduction was elevated to a rather important position. The holy religion regarded homosexuality as heresy, something to be judged at the stake. Lesbians were more oppressed than male homosexuals because male homosexuals still had the option to give birth to the next generation in union with a woman and did not have to take on the task of raising them. But a woman who abandons the responsibility of procreation and child-rearing will suffer endless reproach and abuse. "Things are in trouble, we can't venture in, we'll have to contact the regiment to deal with it." The black curtain was actually a semi-circular barrier, somewhat similar to the one that envel

    "You're too good at understanding, girl. Do you know that yourself are usually an iceberg face to anyone, but when you mention Professor Gibson Mcknighten, your face looks like it's blossoming." "So you, don't be like them, just say it if you have a crush. I see that Professor Gibson Mcknighten doesn't have no feelings for you at all, so if you say it, maybe you two will be able to make it. The hunter profession is precarious, we should cherish every second of our existence in the world and not leave regrets." Louis Holmes lamented, her eyes were crystal clear, as if she remembered the past. "Professor Gibson Mcknighten is such a proud person, and so clever, that she can figure out the most complicated things at once. And also eager to correct others, always gives me a sense of oppression, you do not have such feelings?" Louis Holmes asked. "What are you two deserting there?

    "And I afraid that the host of this descent is a host that is already several years old. But this host still suffers from a congenital deficiency flaw, and so is still not up to the descent of the Lord of Tindalos." "Beron, go inside that stone house, the source is underneath it, lock it down with a sphere cage." "Indeed, does this have anything to do with the mutinous assassination within the Order that occurred five years ago?" Bella came over as well, echoing Esme Crane's speculation. At this point Bella, Esme Crane and Polaris are confused. "Oh, I haven't been introduced, Beron is the supervising investigator of the Papal Police Headquarters in Zocta, he used to be a member of the Church's Heretical Inquisition, doing the job of inspecting the internal discipline of the Papacy. He quit on his own five years ago when the head of the Papal Inquisition changed, and was assigned to the Police Headquarters. The sphere cage was his invention, and he was my experimental partner."

    "Hmm?" Leibniz seemed to sense something. Sensing something strange, he walked over to the shore of Lake Kanshin and pushed his hand into the water to feel it carefully. Within a few moments, his thick brows furrowed, probably noticing something strange. He stood up, shook off the water from his hand, walked along the shore of the lake for a few steps, and then teleported, shifting to a location directly across the lake from the Vaughn Fort. After gazing at Vaughn Fort for some time, a bit of clarity seemed to come through in his aquamarine eyes. "You are too kind, Mr. Chief, and I would certainly like to wish you well." Anna did not hesitate. esme Crane looked at her sideways, and made no further objections. Paulina was entering the fortress for the third time in recent memory, having come to rescue Yena and Josie, and then spent two or three days there in search of the missing policemen. She was relatively familiar with the place, so she acted as a guide, and led the way with Capta

    So they flanked around the large hole in front of them and prepared to enter the main hall of the main building. "Yes." Bella immediately turned on the team spirit sharing that everyone was familiar with. Anna had never seen the Book of Words display such a strong warning before, and was at a loss for words. "Anna?" Esme Crane jumped, and then the attention of the crowd was drawn to her and all gathered around her. As they stepped onto the floor of the dungeon, they held up the insight beam lamp in their hands to observe the scene in the darkness ahead. The Book of Words, which had been silent and unresponsive, suddenly became hot in Anna's arms, and the heat rose so sharply that it immediately burned Anna, causing her to throw the book out subconsciously. The crowd began to penetrate deeper into the dungeon from the location of the stairway, which was extremely dark, with no other source of light other than the Insight Beam Lamp in the crowd's hands. Within the reach of the light

    "Professor!" Someone called out to her from her side. She turned around to see two female students trotting towards her. "Good morning, Professor. We happen to have some questions for you." She suddenly got a lump in her throat. "Professor?" The two female students looked at her strangely. "Sorry, I seem to have forgotten something. What did you guys want to ask?" She replied as she control her emotions. The two students had no doubts and asked several academic questions. Despite the very different times, she answered their questions without hesitation, as if her academic literacy had kept up with the times. But questions still linger deep inside her. Where is Esme Crane? What the hell is going on? She walked with the two female students to the building, entered the classroom, and started teaching as she was supposed to. It was as if she has done it before, and it didn't feel out of place. The long 90-minute session had finally ended, and she had completed her teaching d

    Esme Crane's world... That was her second thought.Suddenly, she realized that she was actually in tears.She felt a moment of unprecedented peace as all the sights of her short life swept through her mind in a flash. She gathered her last strength and used her strongest burst of power to stab at the All-Seeing Eye above the Blood Infant.Polaris could not remember how many times he had fought and killed, so much so that when he turned back, there were few of his companions left around him, and the ground was full of ambulatory bodies, all of the Shadow Assassins who could not maintain their Shadow spells, revealing their bodies in the darkness.The blood baby in Jeremiah Moore's belly then let out a horrible cry, and all of the Shadow Assassins' internal organs were shaken and bleeding, and many of them turned blind and deaf in an instant.He needed to go on a tour of the world and find a place where he could enjoy the dragon's food.A horr

    Some field trumpeter, inspired by the sound of the heavens, blew the Internationale on his trumpet. The loud sound of the trumpet stirred up the excitement and pride that had been suppressed for years, decades, centuries and even thousands of years in all of them, and they sang the Internationale in unison, which at once dealt the deadliest blow to the enemy, who fell to their knees and clutched their heads in agony, their eyes wide open.Esme Crane knew it wasn't Anna talking to her, it was Naija."God is eternally alone, and this is the fifth law by which you become a god.Esme Crane, you abandoned me long ago, and you have long since ceased to be a part of me. You replaced me, and you are the world god now." She sobbed with grief and anger.Esme Crane was forced to take a step back, her coat fluttering, but her expression remained calm.From among the seams of the bandage, wisps of black flesh and blood would seep out. It was as if the inside of the ban

    This tall knight, the leader of the Shadow Knights, was manipulated by Bolaris himself. The leader slowly drew his sword at his waist, while hundreds of red eyes glowed behind him, opening in the shadows.Cecily's words startled Polaris, "What does omnipresent mean?""Because of my particular experience within the Tower, I have a strong aura of Jugzoth, and my spirit world is always trapped in the temporal labyrinth within the Tower, isolated from the world. Only a very small part of it was able to return, and thus I was like a ghost, unable to return fully.The other swirling painting hanging above the wall behind him gradually subsided, returning to the paint on top of the canvas. And at that moment Cecily's state became very eerie as he placed the horse lamp on the floor and slowly sat down, curling up into a ball."The blood pact is still in effect." Pierre removed his glove armor, revealing the back of his right hand with an odd blood mark on it, "We

    Only this is the demonized state, I'm afraid it would be a different story if Cthulhu had caused the loss of control.Bella was the first to share a picture of the mental probe with the remaining three, and a blurred image of the exterior appeared in the minds of the group. They could make out the massive outline of the pyramid, and the countless thick, ghastly tentacles poking out from the square hole that hung upside down above it.Without responding to Bella's observation, Doris digressed to say.This floating spell, which belongs to the category of gravitational control, also belongs to the Yellow King Hasta lineage, and higher up, it is subordinate to Jugzoth, a power that restrains Cthulhu.Those were the last words Paulina passed back, words that conveyed only one meaning - jade and stone.Paulina's dark face broke into a placid smile as she addressed the trio.To their dismay, they discovered that the entire ship had been fished up f

    "So what's next?" The mission still had to continue to be completed, and staying stranded here, even if she did nothing, was just waiting to die.Even the lights on the ship were out, and the darkness wrapped so densely around everyone's nerves, and the tension so oppressed them, that it was surprising to see dense dots of tiny light appear before their eyes, as if they were hallucinations.As the ship is rapidly propelled by the hurricane and angry waves into the very heart of the storm, the call gradually becomes louder and louder, and when the music of the Internationale playing on the ship can't drown out the eerie, brain-penetrating call, Louis Holmes and Paulina lead the entire crew to start singing the Internationale on their own as a way to counter the call.Apes migrated and began to spread all over the world. In order to survive, they began to walk upright and use tools, moving from Homo sapiens to Homo erectus to Homo sapiens. This population, which w

    Esme Crane's death is the condition that triggers the sacrifice; Esme Crane is passively a sacrificial executioner. And there are two ways for Esme Crane to die, one is that she betrayed Anna, which will directly lead to the destruction of the foundation of her personality and the complete stripping away of the Godhead built on it. The second is that she was forcibly separated from her personality and Godhead by an outside force, and her personality fell and her Godhead was recycled and snowed away.Polaris Halsman was so mentally traumatized by his encounter with Dagon's abuse of his master, Old Hunter Suler, during his trip to Ringo that he fell into semi-madness.So only by concentrating on destroying the Church, which is so immensely sacred in the minds of these people, is it possible in a short time to crack their illusionary dreams and awaken their self-will.Macroscopic systems always tend towards a state of extreme entropy, and if an external force exist

    There is no starry sky, no future, no past, no life. All is annihilated and dissolved, not a single particle exists, all sorrow and joy is a bubble, millions of years of evolution, not given any meaning.Paulina shouted for everyone to close the audition immediately, stop and crawl down, not to move. They were thus prostrate in the midst of the storm in the thorny jungle below the cliff, until the blood moon that had crowded in suddenly dissipated, and the abnormal sensation gradually returned.And it was the death of Esme Crane that induced Anna's sacrifice.The evil fallen world god let out a shrill whistle that was inaudible to human ears and raised the cross above his head, inspiring the power of the white flesh and blood cross.The process of sacrifice requires the party performing the sacrifice to kill the sacrificed in some way, while the party receiving the sacrifice can acquire some trait of the sacrificed to grow itself. This process must involv
