Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Chapter 467 Muddy Road

Susie's psychological attack missed on everyone present.

You're already very lucky!

Klein thought to himself.

With such a difference in rank, if you're not lucky, being severely mentally injured by a counterattack is a good outcome.

It's only because everyone takes care of the younger generation that they accept it.

"Oh dear, oh dear..."

"I told you, young man, don't be so impulsive..."

A Maltese dog emerged from around the corner. Despite its robust physique, its voice, movements, and gait resembled those of an extremely old dog.

"Oh dear, I told you, all your fancy tricks are completely useless..."

Old Pa shook his head as he spoke.

"Look at you, you didn't listen to the elders, and now you're suffering the consequences."

"Shut up! Old Pa, you old codger!"

Susie, her blood boiling, turned around and cursed viciously, making Leonard jump.

He immediately recognized the Maltese dog, nicknamed "Old Pares," as one of Pares's alter egos, parasitizing another dog. Leonard's house had many, many more Pares like this; it was hard not to recognize them.

As a top dog, Susie's extraordinary identity was all information that Pales and his friends discovered while wandering around.

"Um... then Miss Susie, could you take Audrey to help disperse the crowd?"

Klein used the crowbar as a cane and bowed slightly.

Susie was taken aback.

She couldn't refuse the request, as it was a golden opportunity to escape with Audrey, but he also felt a chill run down his spine.

Detective Leonard knows Old Parr, and the detective trusts Magic Johnson.

In other words, during this operation, these two people, knowing full well that they were protecting Susie as an extraordinary dog, took advantage of this and made various demands that Susie could not refuse.

He lured Susie out under the guise of "helping Audrey," and then used the opportunity to control her with the little scheme of "taking advantage of the situation to help Audrey escape."

Audrey seemed to have become a bargaining chip in their hands, used to blackmail Susie into doing things for them.

Now Susie believed it. Looking at the old man, who was disrespectful and unreliable, she realized that he was indeed a cunning old monster.

A violent breakout plan was completely pointless here. Not to mention Old Pa, whose strength was unknown, even the two people in front of him couldn't be affected by his mental attacks in the slightest, making them unfathomable to him.

Maybe the person on the other end will think it's fucking cute when they see me grinning!

Damn it, I've been completely outmaneuvered...

Susie hated this feeling. She felt like her every step was being calculated by the other party. She knew there was danger ahead, but she still had no choice but to rush forward.

"As for Audrey, she will be fine, I assure you."

This is the most dazzling diamond in Backlund!

Although his extraordinary abilities and awareness were suppressed during the sealing period, the diamond was simply too hard.

Unless an angel intervenes, who can cut her down?

Klein silently complained to himself.

Susie was about to say something and berate these old bastards when a familiar voice interrupted her lovely anger.

"Finally caught up with you, Detective Leonard—wait, Susie? What are you doing here?"

After seeing Geraldine off, Audrey sped along on her electric motorcycle and only just caught up with Leonard and his companion.

Upon hearing Audrey's voice, Susie instantly transformed into a docile and clingy little imp, turning around from a threatening and intimidating veteran of illegal extraordinary abilities into an innocent and adorable little devil, pouncing on Audrey and licking her wildly.

It's an epic transformation.

Even the faceless god Klein was full of praise.

"Oh no... Susie, wait a minute... how did you get out... I clearly locked the door..."

"Susie, sit down!"

Upon hearing the command, Susie reluctantly left Audrey and obediently sat down in front of her.

"Alright, putting Susie aside. Gentlemen, can you tell me what's going on now?"

"The coffin man is dead."

Leonard's words were concise and to the point.

"But the monster in his coffin was released and ran off to the suburbs."

“Audrey, I hope you…”

Klein obediently raised the crowbar, quickly muttered a command, and then released it.

Leonard turned his head and pointed in the direction the crowbar had fallen.

"I hope you will evacuate the crowd in this direction."

“The population density in this area is not high. Take my ID and go to the local police station to report to each of them and ask them to carry out emergency evacuation.”

"The excuse for the evacuation... is that Leonard discovered a small nuclear weapon in the area, and they need to evacuate immediately."

"Uh... a small nuclear weapon... isn't that a bit too much?"

Audrey felt embarrassed; she always felt that ever since this strange magician joined the team, Detective Leonard had also become...unreliable?

"Then we can say that this whole area along this route is likely filled with bombs that could blow everyone up."

"...This sounds much more reasonable."

There were just too many absurd things to figure out today. Out of respect for Leonard's reputation, Audrey decided to give up thinking about it and do as Leonard said.

After all, the legendary cold-faced detective is always a guarantee of solving cases.

As for the so-called monsters...

Audrey sighed.

The one who just ran away was probably a deformed and terrifying dwarf, so small that he could fit in that small coffin, and so hideous that he looked like a monster.

After all, fairy tales are fictional, and monsters and demons are made up.

Supernatural phenomena are nothing more than wishful thinking and placebos.

Seeing the change in Audrey's expression, Leonard and Klein exchanged a glance, both becoming tense.

Audrey, who doesn't believe in the extraordinary and keeps her distance from the extraordinary world, has a group of madmen who share similar views with her.

Postmodernism.

In Audrey's view, the extraordinary is merely a psychological misconception, a relatively mild perspective. However, postmodernists disagree.

If Audrey were found by the postmodernists, they would definitely harass her relentlessly, dragging her into a dangerous vortex.

"Audrey, wait a minute!"

Leonard called out to Audrey, or perhaps to Susie, he gave her some instructions.

"Beware of postmodernism, stay away from them."

“If you do encounter this, remember, the mission can fail, but the postmodern school must die.”

"..."

Leonard had never said anything so harsh before, and Audrey was a little intimidated, taking it as a serious warning.

How could a weak woman like her possibly commit murder?

Susie, on the other hand, with Audrey on her back, gave the detective and the magician a meaningful look, silently preparing for a bloody conflict.

With her around, no one could harm a hair on Audrey's head!

After saying goodbye to the gentlemen, Susie grabbed Audrey's hand and ran out of their sight, heading in the opposite direction.

You want me to take Audrey into danger? Dream on!

Susie ran wildly with Audrey, finally feeling a sense of joy at escaping death.

Yes, I protected Audrey once again, and once again led her out of danger.

Nothing can hurt Audrey!

Susie thought to herself, ignoring Audrey's commands behind her.

So she didn't notice that Audrey had a small obsidian lens hidden in her pocket.
