Knock knock knock.
A knock sounded.
Lewis temporarily put down his pen, got up to open the door, and the Profiler Warren walked in. The young man, who was a bit shy like a big boy, ruffled his hair.
"Captain, I'm here to collect '3-0718'. Martha's altar is ready, and the ritual can be performed at any time."
Lewis nodded, taking out an exquisite wooden box containing the Sealed artifact.
Through the ritual, its ability could be maximized, allowing it to subtly suggest to the Town residents during the Grand Mass at St. Witt's Church tonight, making them forget about 'Gore'.
However, afterwards, it must be Sealed, otherwise it would lose control and widely affect an area, causing all living beings in that area to lose their memories.
"Tell Martha to prepare the items for the Seal before going to St. Witt's Church. Seal it immediately after the Grand Mass ends."
Lewis did not forget to remind him, as he had used the 'lucky coin' today and needed to be isolated, unable to participate in the evening's Grand Mass.
Fortunately, for a Seer, the sealing work was not difficult, as the Church had standard procedures and they carried the necessary items.
"By the way, how is Jeffrey doing?"
Taking the wooden box containing the artifact, Warren smiled calmly: "It's nothing serious. Compared to his injuries, he's more concerned about whether the shops on Mermaid Road can operate normally tomorrow after this incident, and if there will still be discounts."
"Then I'm relieved."
After seeing his colleague off, Lewis sat back down, picked up his pen, and continued writing.
'...It's a pity that due to the prisoner's severe injuries, he couldn't provide more information about 'Heimerk', but the prisoner did provide an important piece of information, about the 'channel'.'
'Gore, who has already fixed the ritual on his body and become a 'channel', still needs to perform another ritual to truly complete his mission as a channel.'
'He must kill 66 people in the white dense fog, using their lives as sacrifices, to allow the Evil God to descend into this world through him!'
'July 21st, I heard that there will be an event in the Town tomorrow. I'm worried that a large gathering of people will provide an opportunity for Gore. Since I'm currently in isolation, I asked Jeffrey to see Kaosi, hoping he could persuade the Town Mayor to cancel this idea.'
'Unfortunately, the Town Mayor believes this event can bring long-term development to Enki Town and thinks we have already caught the culprit, so there's no reason to interrupt the event. In desperation, I could only meet with Bishop Morgan and ask him to open St. Witt's Church for people to take refuge if there was danger.'
'July 22nd, I finished isolation and, with the Profiler Warren, searched for Gore's possible hiding places in the outskirts of Enki Town. Jeffrey and Martha, along with Lex, went to Eberly Mountain to search the day before.'
'Around 9 AM, white dense fog suddenly appeared in the Town. When we rushed back to the Town, we found St. Witt's Church under attack.'
'That monster came, Gore came. He came to perform the final ritual. Before this, given his state, we had already speculated about this. This monster can probably move quickly through the Spirit Realm.'
'To resolve this troublesome state, we had prepared in advance, collecting all human blood that fit the definition of 'purity'. According to the prisoner's confession, I had this blood splashed onto the monster, and successfully made him withdraw from the Spirit Realm.'
'This action seemed to disrupt his ritual. When Gore appeared in reality, the white dense fog also disappeared.'
Lewis paused, took a sip of the still warm black tea, and then continued writing.
'By the way, when Gore attacked St. Witt's Church, the old woman 'Paris', who had previously been incited by the prisoner and mistakenly believed herself to be a devotee of the night but was actually an accomplice, also appeared at the scene.'
'Perhaps because she had assisted the prisoner in performing a ritual, there was some kind of mark on her body, which prevented Gore from attacking her immediately. However, after Gore was injured, he cruelly killed Paris and used her blood to heal himself.'
'After a battle, with the help of the lucky coin, we successfully killed Gore. We originally thought the incident was over, but a baby was born.'
'That was a Devil Infant, a born Devil Infant. It possessed the abilities of a Devil. Hmm, I've seen relevant reports in Church documents. But because it was just born, its abilities were greatly reduced. Regarding this infant, I have some conjectures.'
'From the prisoner's diary, we learned that Gore ate his twin brother, which gave him the characteristics of a channel. That Devil Infant could be Gore's brother reorganizing within his body.'
'It was a 'shell' prepared for the descent of the Evil God. If Gore had successfully killed 66 people, the Evil God would have been born through this infant and truly entered reality.'
'But the ritual failed, and Gore died. All of this might have stimulated that 'shell', causing it to instinctively struggle to enter the world.'
'Since it was only a shell, it lacked rationality. It instinctively attacked us. Because I had used the lucky coin before, the side effects of the Seal quickly arrived, and I unexpectedly fell into a coma.'
'The events that followed were recounted by Warren and others.'
'After I fell into a coma, a mysterious person appeared. He wore a mask and used a golden revolver. He acted in time and led away that Devil Infant. Afterwards, they seemed to have a battle on Mermaid Road. According to Warren's description, a bakery had exploded.'
'In the ruins of the bakery, Warren found that Devil Infant, seeing that it had blast injuries and severe burns, and its fatal injury was to its head.'
'Its skull was blown open by a bullet, and its brain was a mess. Its death declared the end of the Enki Town incident.'
'Currently, the characteristics of the monster Gore and the Devil Infant have been recovered by us and properly preserved. After returning, they will be stored in Chanis Gate according to procedure.'
'The above report is provided by Lewis Edward, with additions from Martha, Warren, Jeffrey, and others.'
Putting down his pen, Lewis let out a breath. The report was finally finished. He picked up his cup and leisurely drank his black tea.
------
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
After a nap, Lex woke up feeling satisfied, his physical strength and spirituality fully recovered.
There was still plenty of time before evening. Lex stretched his body, pulled down the curtains, and stood in the middle of the bedroom, raising both hands horizontally to summon the 'mystical book'.
"Eye that sees everything."
"God that Oversees All Things."
After chanting the last incantation, he saw the colors in the room deepen. He subconsciously lowered his gaze until the thick, ethereal tome, emanating colorful glimmer, fell into his hand, then he raised his head.
The tome opened by itself to the 'Artisan of Mysteries' page, and the number of dimensional crystals had increased again.
It was now 158!
Lex quickly looked down.
'Cloud told you to hurry up and not stop, and rewarded 600 dimensional coins, which have been automatically converted into 6 dimensional crystals.'
'Absurd Dream Wakes, People Withered feels you're too awesome, and rewarded 2000 dimensional coins, which have been automatically converted into 20 dimensional crystals.'
